Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste recycling technology, and more specifically, to a light material sorting device for waste recycling. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, waste sorting and resource recycling are crucial steps in managing household waste. Household waste is diverse, including fresh waste and aged waste. Aged waste refers to waste that has existed in the environment for some time and may have undergone decomposition or changes in its physicochemical properties. This waste also contains lightweight materials, which are particularly valuable due to their low density and light weight. These mainly include plastics, paper, textiles, and wood chips. Whether fresh or aged, these materials are recyclable waste or raw materials. Therefore, accurately selecting these lightweight materials is essential for improving sorting efficiency and promoting the sustainable recycling of resources. To ensure the effective separation of lightweight materials from other waste and improve their recycling quality and economic value, meticulous screening of various materials is usually required during the recycling process. However, in practice, due to the material characteristics of lightweight materials, they are often covered by heavier materials, which hinders their separation by airflow. This not only impedes the effectiveness of the airflow separation process but also reduces sorting efficiency, decreases the amount of recyclable materials, and negatively impacts the overall resource recovery rate.
[0003] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need to propose a light material sorting device for waste recycling that can prevent light materials from being crushed by heavy objects and ensure that light materials can be smoothly separated by airflow. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a lightweight material sorting device for waste recycling, which can prevent lightweight materials from being crushed by heavy objects and ensure that lightweight materials can be smoothly separated by airflow.
[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a light material sorting device for waste recycling, comprising a base, a mounting shell, a conveyor belt, an air inlet duct, an air separator, a hopper, a motor, a rotating shaft, striking plates, and shaking frames. The mounting shell is provided on the top of the base, and a conveyor belt is installed inside the mounting shell. At least two air inlets are connected to the top of the mounting shell, and an air separator is installed on each side of the base. The air inlets of the air separators are connected to the adjacent air inlets. A hopper is inclinedly connected to one end of the mounting shell, allowing the sliding waste to enter the conveyor belt. Shaking frames are spaced through and slidably arranged at the bottom of the hopper. A motor is installed on one side of the hopper, and a rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of the motor. The end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the hopper. Striking plates, the same number as the shaking frames, are spaced on the rotating shaft, and the striking plates contact and cooperate with the corresponding shaking frames.
[0006] Optionally, it also includes a collection frame, with a funnel-shaped collection frame connected to the bottom of the air separator for the air separation and discharge of light materials.
[0007] Optionally, it also includes a grid frame, with grid frames passing through the mounting housing on both sides of the air inlet duct, and the bottom end of the grid frame contacting the surface of the conveyor belt.
[0008] Optionally, it also includes a motor and an agitator, with a motor with its output end facing downwards mounted on the top of the grid frame, and an agitator mounted on the output end of the motor, the bottom end of which contacts the surface of the conveyor belt.
[0009] Optionally, it also includes a placement frame, which is slidably mounted on the base and located below the conveyor belt.
[0010] Optionally, it also includes a scraper, which is rotatably mounted on the placement frame and contacts the conveyor belt.
[0011] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention achieves the separation of garbage in the hopper by setting a striking plate and a shaking frame. This striking action helps to separate light materials from heavy garbage and prevents light materials from being covered by heavy garbage. Combined with the strong airflow generated by the air separator, light materials can be selected more quickly, thereby improving the recycling efficiency.
[0012] 2. This utility model uses a motor to drive the agitator to rotate, which further promotes the separation process of waste. The agitation makes it easier to remove lightweight materials and facilitates effective recycling. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0020] Example: A light material sorting device for waste recycling, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the equipment includes a base 1, a mounting shell 2, a conveyor belt 3, an air inlet duct 4, an air separator 5, a hopper 6, a motor 7, a rotating shaft 8, a striking plate 9, and a shaking frame 10. The base 1 serves as the foundation of the entire equipment, supporting all components. The mounting shell 2 is located on top of the base 1, and the conveyor belt 3 is installed inside the mounting shell 2. The conveyor belt 3 is the main component for transporting waste. Two air inlets 4 are symmetrically connected to the top of the mounting shell 2, and an air separator 5 is installed on each side of the base 1. The air inlets of the air separator 5 are connected to the adjacent air inlets 4. The air separator 5 generates a strong airflow, which is then guided into the mounting shell 2 by the air inlets 4, allowing the waste on the conveyor belt 3 to be covered by the strong airflow, thereby assisting in the separation of lighter materials and making them easier to select. The hopper 6 is inclinedly connected to the front end of the mounting shell 2. The hopper 6 is the main inlet for waste, allowing it to slide down and enter the conveyor belt 3. Vibrating frames 10 are spaced and slidably installed at the bottom of the hopper 6. The bottom of the vibrating frames 10 is hollow and has a sufficiently smooth surface to guide the waste downwards. A motor 7 is fixedly installed on the right side of the hopper 6. A rotating shaft 8 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 7. The end of the rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the hopper 6. The rotating shaft 8 has a number of striking plates 9 spaced at intervals equal to the number of vibrating frames 10. The striking plates 9 contact and work in conjunction with the vibrating frames 10, causing them to vibrate. This vibration causes the heavier materials inside the vibrating frames 10 to move, thus separating them from the lighter materials. This gives the lighter materials more space to move and prevents them from being covered by the accumulation of heavier materials, thus not affecting subsequent screening operations.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a collection frame 51. The bottom of the air classifier 5 is connected to a funnel-shaped collection frame 51 for the air separation and discharge of light materials, which can effectively collect and guide the blown light materials out.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a grid frame 11. The front and rear sides of the air inlet duct 4 are provided with grid frames 11 that pass through the mounting shell 2. The bottom end of the grid frame 11 contacts the surface of the conveyor belt 3 for further screening and agitation of the distribution of waste on the conveyor belt 3.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a motor 12 and an agitator 13. The top of the grid frame 11 is equipped with a motor 12 with its output end facing downward. The output end of the motor 12 is provided with an agitator 13. The agitator 13 is birdcage shaped. The bottom end of the agitator 13 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3. It can promote the separation between light and heavy materials in the waste through agitation.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a placement frame 14, which is slidably mounted on the base 1 below the conveyor belt 3 for collecting falling garbage.
[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a scraper 15, which is rotatably mounted on the placement frame 14 and contacts the conveyor belt 3, for scraping to remove residues attached to the conveyor belt 3.
[0026] When this device is needed, the conveyor belt 3 is started, and the worker pours the garbage into the hopper 6. The motor 7 is then started, driving the connected rotating shaft 8 to rotate. As the shaft 8 rotates, it drives the connected striking plate 9 to operate synchronously, rotating and striking the vibrating frame 10 above it. This pushes the accumulated heavy objects to move and separates them from the lighter materials, allowing some of the lighter materials to move freely for subsequent sorting. During this process, the air separator 5 operates simultaneously. The garbage separated by the striking action enters the conveyor belt 3, while the lighter materials are carried away by the airflow of the air separator 5 and enter its interior, then fall into the collection frame 51. The lighter materials then drain downwards along the funnel shape of the collection frame 51. Workers can then directly arrange for centralized processing of the lighter materials below the collection frame 51. Because some stubborn garbage may still cover the lighter materials, this process... During the process, motor 12 needs to be started, which drives the agitator 13 to rotate. The rotating agitator 13 and the moving conveyor belt 3 work together to agitate and separate the waste, allowing light materials to be separated and carried away by the stronger airflow on the air inlet duct 4, thus achieving a more thorough selection of light materials. During this process, the bottom end of the grid frame 11 will also come into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3, thereby moving the waste that is stuck to it during transportation to a certain extent. This, together with the agitator 13, achieves a dual effect. The waste is then discharged from the other end of the conveyor belt 3, which will be used repeatedly. The scraper 15 below scrapes the lower half of the conveyor belt 3 to remove the material attached to the surface of the conveyor belt 3. The fallen material will fall into the placement frame 14 below. After the device has finished operating, the placement frame 14 can be pushed out for cleaning.
[0027] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the content described in the claims of the present utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
