[0037] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Additionally, "multiple" and "several" mean two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4The waste paper tube recycling system provided by this utility model will now be described. The waste paper tube recycling system includes a holding unit 1, a crushing unit 2, and a collection unit. The holding unit 1 includes a movable frame 11 and a holding bucket 12 disposed on the movable frame 11. Rollers 13 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable frame 11. The crushing unit 2 includes a fixed frame 21 and a crusher 22 disposed on one side of the fixed frame 21. The crusher 22 is used to crush the paper tubes in the holding bucket 12. The crusher has a downward-opening discharge port. The collection unit includes a collection box 3, which is disposed below the crusher 22 and connected to the discharge port to collect the shredded paper from the crusher 22.

[0039] In existing technologies, scattered paper tubes are typically collected manually, and a certain number of tubes are then transferred to a storage area. This manual operation increases workload, and the accumulated paper tubes take up a significant amount of space, impacting space utilization. This application, however, collects the paper tubes into the storage bin 12 when the fabric is used up, eliminating the need for manual collection and reducing workload. The collected paper tubes can then be crushed in a crusher, further minimizing space requirements.

[0040] It should be noted that the crusher 22 is a commonly used crusher in the existing technology. The crusher is equipped with two parallel cutting rollers. The two cutting rollers rotate relative to each other. When the paper tube enters between the two cutting rollers, it will be crushed into paper scraps by the cutting rollers.

[0041] The waste paper tube recycling system provided in this embodiment offers a paper tube processing flow compared to existing technologies. It includes a receiving unit 1, where workers can place paper tubes into the receiving bin 12 after using the cloth. The receiving bin 12 collects the scattered paper tubes, reducing the impact on environmental cleanliness. After collecting a certain number of paper tubes, workers can push the receiving bin 12 to the crusher 22 for crushing. Compared to the existing method of repeatedly moving paper tubes manually, this system allows for the handling of a larger number of paper tubes at a time, significantly reducing the workload for employees. The crusher 22 can crush the paper tubes, solving the problem of large paper tube footprint and improving space utilization. The collection bin can collect shredded paper, facilitating worker processing and resolving the issues of large paper tube footprint and heavy workload for employees.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The movable frame 11 is equipped with a push handle 111 on its side. The push handle 111 makes it easy for workers to push the movable frame 11, which can easily move the container 12 and reduce the amount of labor.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The container 12 has a side outlet 121 on one side, and a baffle 14 is provided over the side outlet 121. The top of the baffle 14 is rotatably connected to the container 12, and the rotation axis is parallel to the horizontal direction. The bottom of the baffle 14 can swing to open or close the side outlet 121. The side outlet 121 facilitates the tilting of paper tubes, improves loading and unloading efficiency, and prevents short paper tubes from being left in the container 12. The baffle 14 can swing, so that the container 12 has a filling state and an unloading state. In the filling state, the baffle 14 and the side outlet 121 are completely in contact, forming a top-opening filling space with the container 12. In the unloading state, the bottom of the baffle 14 swings outward, so that the paper tube can enter the fixing frame 21 from the side opening 121.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The container 12 is provided with a stop block 16 and a stop bar 15, which are respectively located on both sides of the baffle 14. The top of the stop block 16 has a stop groove 161. One end of the stop bar 15 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the container 12, and the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the baffle 14. The other end of the stop bar 15 can be inserted into the stop groove 161. The stop bar 15 can swing on the side where the side opening 121 is located. After abutting against the stop block 16, it is limited on the outside of the baffle 14 to prevent the baffle 14 from swinging outward, so as to maintain the holding state.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The fixed frame 21 is an elongated frame extending along the conveying direction. The crusher 22 is located at one end of the fixed frame 21. A conveyor belt 23 extending along its long axis is provided on the fixed frame 21, and the conveyor belt 23 moves along the conveying direction. The crushing unit 2 also includes a drive component 24, the output shaft of which is connected to the conveyor belt 23 for transmission. The conveyor belt 23 on the fixed frame 21 moves the paper tube into the crusher 22 via the conveyor belt 23, keeping the workers away from the crusher 22 and improving their work safety. The conveyor belt 23 is driven by the drive component 24, realizing the automation of paper tube transportation and reducing the workload of employees.

[0046] Optionally, the drive unit 24 is a rotary motor, and multiple rotating shafts are provided on the fixed frame 21. The transmission belt 23 is sleeved on the outer shaft of the multiple rotating shafts. The rotating end of the rotary motor is connected to one of the rotating shafts to drive the transmission belt 23 to rotate cyclically.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The conveyor belt 23 is inclined, with one end of the conveyor belt 23 adjacent to the crusher 22 being higher than the other end. The higher end of the conveyor belt 23 near the crusher 522 causes the paper tube to rise through friction when it moves, preventing the paper tube from rolling during transport and ensuring efficient transport.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The bottom of the collection box 3 is equipped with a vertically extendable support frame 31, and the bottom of the support frame 31 is equipped with casters 32. The support frame 31 provides support and height adjustment for the collection box 3 at the bottom of the collection box 3, so that collection boxes 3 of different heights can be placed. The collection boxes 3 are widely available, and idle boxes from factories can be used directly, reducing the cost of use. The casters 32 can move the support frame 31 and the collection box 3, improving the flexibility of use.

[0049] In practice, the support frame 31 is composed of multiple support rods connected end to end from top to bottom. The top of the support rod is provided with a threaded head and the bottom is provided with a threaded groove. The adjacent support rods are fixed by screwing the threaded head and the threaded groove. The height of the support frame 31 can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of support rods.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The waste paper tube recycling system also includes an extrusion unit 4 located between the fixed frame 21 and the receiving bin 12. The extrusion unit 4 includes a receiving module and an extrusion module. The receiving module receives the paper tubes from the receiving bin 12, and the extrusion module is positioned above the receiving module and can move up and down to cooperate with the receiving module in flattening the paper tubes. The receiving module provides a lower extrusion plate, and the extrusion module provides an upper extrusion plate. After the paper tube is placed on top of the receiving module, the extrusion module moves downwards to flatten the paper tube, which is then moved onto the conveyor belt 23 and then to the crusher 22. The receiving module and the extrusion module are simple to work with, easy to manufacture, and reduce processing difficulty.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The extrusion unit 4 includes a connecting frame 41, a support plate 42, a lifting drive component 43, and an extrusion plate 44. The connecting frame 41 is supported on the ground; the support plate 42 is located in the middle of the connecting frame 41 and is coplanar with the fixed frame 21, forming a receiving module; the lifting drive component 43 is located at the top of the connecting frame 41, and the bottom of the lifting drive component 43 has a lifting end that can be raised and lowered; the extrusion plate 44 is fixed to the lifting end, and the extrusion plate 44 is aligned vertically with the support plate 41, forming an extrusion module. The connecting frame 41 spans the fixed frame 21 along its width direction. After installation, the support plate 42 is coplanar with the conveyor belt 23 on the fixed frame 21, facilitating the movement of the flattened paper tube onto the conveyor belt 23 and increasing convenience; the extrusion plate 44 moves up and down under the action of the lifting drive component 43, and when clamped vertically with the support plate 41, it can flatten the paper tube, facilitating the transportation of the paper tube. The extrusion unit 4 provided in this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0052] In practice, a pusher plate is provided on the support plate 42 along the extension direction of the conveyor belt 23. The pusher plate can move along the extension direction of the conveyor belt 23 to automatically push the flattened paper tube onto the conveyor belt 23, thereby improving the automation of the process. The pusher plate and the extrusion plate 44 can move selectively.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The connecting frame 41 is provided with a support frame 411 corresponding to the support plate 42. The support frame 411 has a support groove with an opening on the top surface. The support plate 42 is movably disposed in the support groove in the vertical direction. A buffer 45 is provided between the bottom of the support groove and the support plate. The buffer 15 can reduce the squeezing force of the pressing plate 44 on the support plate 42, reduce the pressure on the support frame 411, ensure the connection strength between the support frame 411 and the connecting frame 41, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0054] Optionally, the buffer 45 can be a spring with good deformation continuity, high elasticity, and certain strength to meet the usage requirements. It can also be an elastic component such as a rubber rod, which will not be listed here.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
