Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PET mineral water bottle recycling technology, specifically to an anti-clogging PET mineral water bottle recycling device. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable resource utilization, the recycling and disposal of plastic waste has become a crucial area. PET mineral water bottles are among the most common plastic waste generated in daily life and production.
[0003] From an environmental perspective, PET mineral water bottles are difficult to degrade quickly in the natural environment. Long-term accumulation occupies significant land resources and may decompose into harmful substances and breed bacteria, causing serious pollution to soil and water bodies. From an energy perspective, PET material has excellent recyclability and reuse value. By recycling mineral water bottles and processing them into recycled PET products, such as fibers used in the textile industry to manufacture clothing and carpets, or sheets made for food packaging, dependence on virgin petroleum resources can be greatly reduced, lowering energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
[0004] Currently, PET mineral water bottle recycling equipment is designed with little consideration for screening mixed metal impurities. Mixed metal impurities, such as pull tabs from aluminum cans and iron wires, can easily cause blockages and wear on the recycling equipment. At the same time, traditional straight conveying channels can easily cause mineral water bottles to accumulate. The unreasonable design of the feed inlet size and shape can lead to bottles not entering the screening area smoothly and getting stuck. In addition, the external water source for the cleaning device results in a large waste of water resources and cannot form a comprehensive, three-dimensional high-pressure spray cleaning system. Utility Model Content

The servo motor 3 is started, driving the drive gear 17 to rotate. The drive gear 17 then drives the flexible rubber conveyor belt 18, causing the PET mineral water bottles to slowly move along the conveyor belt 18. A fan 41 is activated to blow away any paper scraps and labels mixed in with the PET bottles, causing them to fall into the collection cabinet 21. Low-height flexible guardrails 20 are installed on both sides to prevent the bottles from sliding off and to allow paper scraps and labels to roll freely. Bottle caps, twigs, and other impurities mixed in can fall into the collection cabinet 21 through the square holes 19. An HS-100 magnetic separator 16 removes any metal impurities mixed in with the bottles, preventing clogging and wear. After initial screening, the bottles slowly slide from the second arc-shaped chute 9 into the funnel 10 and then into the third arc-shaped chute 11. The guide vanes 30 at the inlet of the rotary separator 12 allow the mineral water bottles to rotate in the same direction as the spiral channel 29. The mineral water bottles slowly enter the spiral channel 29. By setting the appropriate spiral diameter and pitch, the mineral water bottles can be prevented from clogging inside the cylindrical tube 25. The spray cleaning devices 14 at both ends of the rotary separator 12 can perform high-pressure rinsing on the mineral water bottles to remove residual dirt, paper scraps, labels and other impurities. After cleaning, the mineral water bottles slowly slide out from the second discharge port 13 at the end of the rotary separator 12. A conveyor belt can be set at the end of the second discharge port 13 to pack and sort the cleaned mineral water bottles. The baffles 36 on both sides of the rotary separator 12 can prevent the high-pressure spray water from flowing out from both sides. A filter device 15 is set at the lower end of the rotary separator 12 to filter the wastewater after cleaning, realize the recycling of water resources and reduce water waste.
