[0026] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments described are only examples. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the specific implementation adopts the following technical solution:

[0028] It includes a frame 8, a screen cylinder 3, and a granulator 1, wherein the granulator 1 is located in front of the frame 8, the screen cylinder 3 is located inside the frame 8, and screen holes are opened on the side wall of the screen cylinder 3.

[0029] Support plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the front crossbeam of the frame 8, and the support plate 6 is screwed onto the front plate of the screen cylinder 3 via bearings.

[0030] The connecting pipe 2 is fixed on the support plate 6, and the front end of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to the outlet end of the granulator 1 through a flange. The rear end of the connecting pipe 2 extends into the screen cylinder 3, and the connecting pipe 2 is located on the left side of the axis of the screen cylinder 3.

[0031] The connecting seat 7 is spun onto the rear crossbeam of the frame 8 via a bearing, and the connecting seat 7 is coaxially arranged with the screen cylinder 3. The connecting seat 7 is fixedly arranged on the rear end face of the screen cylinder 3.

[0032] The feeding pipe 4 is screwed into the connecting seat 7 via a bearing, and the entire end of the feeding pipe 4 extends into the screen cylinder 3.

[0033] The hopper 5 is sleeved and fixed on the front end of the feeding pipe 4. The front side wall of the hopper 5 is movably abutted against the support plate 6, the rear side wall of the hopper 5 is movably abutted against the rear inner wall of the screen cylinder 3, and the side of the hopper 5 away from the feeding pipe 4 is movably abutted against the inner side wall of the screen cylinder 3.

[0034] The material is fed into the screen cylinder 3 through the connecting pipe 2, and the screen cylinder 3 is rotated to perform screening. The material is scraped up and fed into the feeding pipe 4 by the rotating hopper 5 through the feeding pipe 4.

[0035] The screening motor 10 is fixedly mounted on the frame 8.

[0036] The main screening gear 11 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the screening motor 10.

[0037] Screening auxiliary gear 12 is sleeved and fixed on the connecting seat 7, and the screening main gear 11 and the screening auxiliary gear 12 are meshed with each other.

[0038] The guide tube 13 is screwed onto the rear end of the feed tube 4 via a bearing;

[0039] Mounting bracket 15, which is located at the rear of the frame 8, and the guide tube 13 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 15;

[0040] The spiral roller 14 is inserted into the feeding pipe 4, with its front end extending into the hopper 5 and its rear end shaft screwed onto the side wall of the guide pipe 13 via a bearing.

[0041] The feeding motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 15, and the output shaft of the feeding motor 16 is connected to the rear end shaft of the spiral roller 14 for transmission.

[0042] Flywheel 17, wherein the flywheel 17 is spun onto the frame 8 via a rotating shaft;

[0043] The main pusher gear 18 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the flywheel 17;

[0044] The pusher gear 19 is sleeved and fixed on the feeding pipe 4, and the pusher main gear 18 and the pusher gear 19 are meshed with each other. The flywheel 17 rotates to drive the feeding pipe 4 to rotate, and the feeding pipe 4 drives the hopper 5 to rotate. The hopper 5 scrapes up and collects the material in the screen cylinder 3, and the collected material is sent out through the feeding pipe 4.

[0045] The crankshaft 21 is spun onto the mounting bracket 15 via bearings. The axis of the crankshaft 21 is eccentrically located to the right of the axis of the flywheel 17, and the port of the connecting pipe 2 is located to the left of the axis of the flywheel 17.

[0046] The pin 22 is fixedly mounted on the crank of the crankshaft 21. A guide groove 23 is provided on the rear end face of the flywheel 17. The pin 22 is movably inserted into the guide groove 23. The eccentric distance between the axis of the pin 22 and the axis of the crankshaft 21 is greater than the eccentric distance between the axis of the flywheel 17 and the axis of the crankshaft 21. Thus, the crankshaft 21 drives the pin 22 to rotate and pushes the flywheel 17 to rotate. When the pin 22 pushes the flywheel 17 to rotate, the eccentric distance between the axis of the spool and the axis of the flywheel 17 increases and decreases with a cycle of 360° rotation of the flywheel 17, thereby realizing the variable speed motion of the flywheel 17, that is, the variable speed rotation of the hopper 5. The speed of the flywheel 17 increases when the distance between the small cycle axis and the axis of the flywheel 17 decreases.

[0047] The pusher motor 20 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 15, and the output shaft of the pusher motor 20 is connected to the rear end shaft of the crankshaft 21 via a transmission connection.

[0048] When using this device, the plastic granules produced by the granulator 1 are fed into the screen cylinder 3 through the connecting pipe 2. The screening motor 10 drives the screening main gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting seat 7 to rotate counterclockwise through the meshing screening main gear 11 and screening secondary gear 12. The connecting seat 7 drives the screen cylinder 3 to rotate, thereby screening the plastic granules in the screen cylinder 3. Particles smaller than the mesh size of the screen cylinder 3 fall into the collecting cylinder 9 and are discharged through the guide groove on the collecting cylinder 9. Plastic granules larger than the mesh size of the screen cylinder 3 remain in the screen cylinder 3. The pusher motor 20 drives the crankshaft 21 to rotate counterclockwise. The crankshaft 21 is connected to the flywheel 17 through the pin 22, thereby driving the flywheel 17 to rotate counterclockwise. The flywheel 17 drives the feeding pipe 4 to rotate through the meshing pusher main gear 18 and pusher secondary gear 19, thereby driving the feeding pipe to rotate. 4 drives the hopper 5 to rotate counterclockwise inside the screen cylinder 3. The hopper 5 scrapes up and collects the large-diameter plastic particles remaining in the screen cylinder 3. The feeding motor 16 drives the spiral roller 14 to rotate. The spiral roller 14 pushes the large-diameter plastic particles collected in the hopper 5 into the feeding pipe 4, and then sends the large-diameter plastic particles out through the guide pipe 13. When the crankshaft 21 drives the flywheel 17 to rotate through the pin 22, the crankshaft 21 and the flywheel 17 are eccentrically set. Thus, the crankshaft 21 drives the pin 22 to slide in the guide groove 23 on the flywheel 17, thereby driving the flywheel 17 to rotate. When the crankshaft 21 drives the pin 22 to rotate and causes the pin 22 to move closer to the axis of the flywheel 17, the rotation speed of the flywheel 17 is increased. Conversely, when the crankshaft 21 drives the pin 22 to move away from the axis of the flywheel 17, the rotation speed of the flywheel 17 is slowed down.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0050] 1. This device uses a rotating screen cylinder 3, with a hopper 5 inside the screen cylinder 3 via a feeding pipe 4 and the hopper 5 is driven to rotate. A connecting pipe 2 is inserted inside the screen cylinder 3 via a support plate 6, thereby enabling the plastic granules produced by the granulator 1 to be screened according to their particle size and the two types of plastic granules to be collected and recycled separately.

[0051] 2. This device is designed to drive the rotation of the hopper 5 and the feeding roller. A flywheel 17 driven by the crankshaft 21 is provided. This allows the flywheel 17 to rotate at a variable speed while the crankshaft 21 rotates at a constant speed. This enables the hopper 5 to rotate at a variable speed, so that when the hopper 5 rotates to the connecting pipe 2, the rotation speed is increased to avoid blocking the material discharge from the connecting pipe 2 for a long time.

[0052] For those skilled in the art, modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, and equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
