Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste plastic recycling technology, specifically a centrifugal dehydration device for waste plastic recycling. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of plastic recycling, dehydration dryers are used to remove moisture from the surface and inside of plastics to ensure dryness. Existing dehydration drying equipment mainly uses centrifugal dehydrators to achieve the purpose of drying without using heating methods. By rotating the wet plastic fragments, the water is separated from the plastic under the action of centrifugal force.

[0003] Some current centrifugal dehydration equipment relies entirely on the centrifugal force provided by the high-speed rotation of the inner cylinder to throw out water. However, during high-speed rotation, plastic debris will also stick tightly to the cylinder wall due to centrifugal force, and may even be in a relatively static state while rotating synchronously with the inner cylinder. When the debris is piled up too tightly, the water is sealed in the debris pile, making it difficult to separate quickly, and there is also the possibility of clogging the inner cylinder mesh, affecting the water throwing effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0044] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a centrifugal dewatering device for recycling waste plastics includes a housing 1, a dewatering cylinder 2, and a sealing structure 3. The housing 1 includes a shell 101; the dewatering cylinder 2 includes a mesh cylinder 201, which is rotatably installed inside the shell 101. Six air inlet pipes 203 are fixedly installed in a ring at equal angles on the upper edge of the side surface of the mesh cylinder 201. The other ends of the six air inlet pipes 203 are connected to the inner surface of the air trough 204. The air trough 204 has a ring structure, and the upper and lower edges of the outer opening of the air trough 204 are rotatably connected to the inner surface of the base ring 205 through a sealed bearing; the sealing structure 3 is movably installed on the bottom side of the shell 101.

[0045] Specifically, the soaked and washed waste plastic scraps are poured into the mesh cylinder 201, and then the mesh cylinder 201 is driven to rotate inside the shell 101 to shake out the water inside the plastic scraps. While dehydrating, the air duct 204 is used to divert the externally introduced air into each air inlet pipe 203. The air inlet pipe 203 is connected to the wall of the mesh cylinder 201 at an inclined tangent, so that the airflow enters the mesh cylinder 201 in a vortex state, which allows the water on the surface of the plastic scraps to be quickly removed and accelerates the water discharge from the mesh of the mesh cylinder 201. At the same time, the plastic scraps are continuously blown and moved inside the mesh cylinder 201 to help turn the scraps and improve the dehydration efficiency.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the equipment housing 1 further includes a duct movable groove 102, a sealing edge 103, a cover 104, a discharge port 105, a water outlet 106, a first motor 107, and a first gear 108. The duct movable groove 102 is fixedly installed at the opening on the housing 101, and the inner wall of the duct movable groove 102 is fixedly connected to the base ring 205. The sealing edge 103 is fixedly installed on the upper edge of the inner wall of the duct movable groove 102. The cover 104 is snapped into the opening on the duct movable groove 102. The discharge port 105 is opened at the bottom side opening of the housing 101. The water outlet 106 is fixedly installed on one side edge of the bottom of the housing 101. The first motor 107 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the housing 101. The first gear 108 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 107.

[0048] In this embodiment, the No. 1 motor 107 rotates the No. 1 gear 108, which in turn drives the No. 1 external gear ring 207 to rotate the mesh cylinder 201 inside the housing 101, thereby throwing out the wet material inside the mesh cylinder 201 to achieve centrifugal dehydration. The thrown-out water enters the gap between the housing 101 and the mesh cylinder 201 and is discharged from the outlet 106.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the dewatering cylinder 2 further includes a bearing 202, an outer interface 206, and a first external gear ring 207. The inner ring of the bearing 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the mesh cylinder 201, and the outer ring of the bearing 202 is fixedly connected to the upper opening of the discharge port 105. The outer interface 206 is fixedly installed on one side of the base ring 205 and passes through the movable groove 102 of the air duct. The first external gear ring 207 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the mesh cylinder 201 and meshes with the first gear 108.

[0050] In specific implementation, the bottom of the mesh cylinder 201 is rotatably connected to the discharge port 105 by the bearing 202, and the air groove 204 and the base ring 205 are rotatably connected by the sealed bearing to provide rotational support for the upper edge of the mesh cylinder 201, ensuring the stability of the mesh cylinder 201 when it rotates inside the shell 101. At the same time, without interfering with the rotation of each air inlet pipe 203 following the mesh cylinder 201, the airflow is stably diverted into the interior of each air inlet pipe 203 through the external air supply structure connected by the external interface 206.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Based on Example 1, this invention supplements the specific discharge method after the plastic scraps have been dehydrated, which was not mentioned in Example 1.

[0053] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing structure 3 includes a support frame 301, an electric push rod 302, a second external gear ring 303, a second gear 304, a second motor 305, a connecting rod 306, a sealing body 307, a third motor 308, and a stirring rod 309. There are two support frames 301, which are fixedly installed on one side of the housing 101. The side surface of the electric push rod 302 is rotatably connected to the support frame 301 via a bearing. The second external gear ring 303 is fixedly sleeved on the side surface of the electric push rod 302. In the middle section; one side of the No. 2 gear 304 meshes with the No. 2 external gear ring 303; the No. 2 motor 305 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 101, and the output end of the No. 2 motor 305 is fixedly connected to the No. 2 gear 304; one end of the connecting rod 306 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 302; the side surface of the sealing door body 307 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 306; the No. 3 motor 308 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the sealing door body 307; the lower end of the stirring rod 309 is fixedly connected to the output end of the No. 3 motor 308.

[0054] In practice, the sealing gate body 307 blocks the discharge port 105, and the stirring rod 309 is inserted into the bottom of the mesh cylinder 201. The stirring rod 309 is rotated in the opposite direction relative to the mesh cylinder 201 by the No. 3 motor 308 to stir and turn the plastic waste accumulated inside the mesh cylinder 201, thereby improving the dewatering effect. After dewatering is completed, the electric push rod 302 is started first to pull the sealing gate body 307 and the stirring rod 309 away from the bottom of the housing 101 and open the discharge port 105. Then, the No. 2 motor 305 is started, and through the transmission of the No. 2 gear 304 and the No. 2 external gear ring 303, the sealing gate body 307 is deflected to fully open the discharge port 105 so that the plastic can be discharged.

[0055] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
