[0001] The utility model relates to the field of plastic sorting equipment, in particular to a vacuum silo for plastic sorting. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people have an increasingly strong demand for various electronic devices. Batteries are an indispensable part of electronic products. Depending on the electronic device, the type of battery used is also different. Small portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets use ternary lithium batteries, while larger electronic devices such as electric vehicles use lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries are a very widely used type of battery, but after a certain lifespan, they need to be recycled. During the recycling process, a lot of plastic fragments will be generated. These plastic fragments need to be sorted according to different colors. The equipment used in this process is a color sorter.

[0003] Generally, a vacuum silo is used to transport plastic fragments to the color sorter. However, the plastic fragments of the crushed batteries contain dust, which easily leaves dust in the vacuum silo. After a certain amount of dust accumulates, the vacuum silo needs to be cleaned, which affects production efficiency. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop a vacuum silo for plastic sorting that reduces dust from entering the vacuum silo and extends the cleaning cycle. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the shell is arc-shaped, and the drain valve is located at the lowest end of the shell.

[0010] Preferably, the mesh cylinder is in the shape of a round shuttle.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects are:

[0012] The utility model utilizes a rotating mesh drum to drive the rotation of plastic fragments, utilizes a sprayer to spray water toward the mesh drum, utilizes high-pressure water flow and the turning of plastic to clean the plastic fragments, and after the cleaning is completed, the sprayer is closed, the rotating mechanism is accelerated to accelerate the rotation of the mesh drum, and the plastic fragments are dried by centrifugal force, and then the negative pressure unit at the upper end of the silo is activated to suck the plastic fragments in the mesh drum into the silo.
