Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compaction devices, and in particular to a waste cotton compactor collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Waste cotton mainly refers to waste cotton fiber materials generated during the textile production process. A waste cotton compactor, similar to a garbage compactor, is a compaction device specifically designed to process loose waste materials such as waste cotton. Through mechanical compaction, it compresses the loose waste materials such as waste cotton, reducing their volume and facilitating storage and transportation. Compacted waste cotton can make more efficient use of storage space, increasing the waste storage capacity of landfills or warehouses. Through compaction, the pollution of waste cotton to the environment can be reduced, while saving land resources and extending the service life of landfills.

[0003] Existing waste cotton compactors typically handle loose cotton, causing cotton fibers to fall and scatter around the baler during the baling process, affecting the site, increasing labor intensity, and easily creating safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, to address the problem that existing waste cotton compactors often cause cotton to fall out during the compaction process, increasing labor intensity and posing safety hazards, a waste cotton compactor collection device with an anti-fall component can be designed. By setting the anti-fall component as a rectangular enclosed trough composed of two sets of welded frames and two sets of transparent plexiglass plates, the capacity of the collection device can be increased, preventing waste cotton from falling out during compaction. Furthermore, the transparent plexiglass plates allow for real-time observation of the falling waste cotton inside, preventing scattering and keeping the site clean and tidy, reducing labor intensity, and eliminating safety hazards.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Waste cotton refers to discarded cotton materials generated in cotton processing, textile production, and related industries.

[0024] source

[0025] Cotton processing stage: During the ginning process, some short fibers, cotton with more impurities, and cotton fibers that do not meet the length and quality standards are produced. These are all part of waste cotton. For example, after the seed cotton is removed by the ginning machine, some short fibers and impurities will be separated. They cannot be directly used in the subsequent production of high-end textile products and thus become waste cotton.

[0026] In the textile production process: During the spinning process, waste cotton is generated in processes such as carding, drawing, roving, and spinning. For example, the carding process will comb out cotton knots, impurities, and short fibers. The reclaimed yarn generated after the spinning ends break is also one of the sources of waste cotton. In the weaving process, the scraps generated from cutting the fabric and the fabrics discarded due to weaving defects also fall into the category of waste cotton.

[0027] Other related industries: For example, cotton products used in the medical industry (such as medical cotton balls, cotton pads, etc.) and waste cotton fabrics in daily life (such as worn-out cotton clothes, towels, etc.) also constitute sources of waste cotton after recycling.

[0028] After compaction, waste cotton's volume is significantly reduced, making it easier to store, process, and transport, effectively saving storage space and reducing processing costs. Compaction simplifies the waste cotton processing procedure, improves overall processing efficiency, and reduces manual intervention and labor intensity. Compacted waste cotton is also easier to treat environmentally in subsequent processes, such as landfilling or reuse, reducing pollution and helping to conserve land resources. Furthermore, compacted waste cotton has a more uniform texture, making it easier to reprocess and utilize, such as for producing low-end textiles or as filling material, thus achieving resource reuse. Therefore, compaction of waste cotton offers numerous benefits and is an indispensable part of waste cotton management.

[0029] Waste cotton is usually quite loose and takes up a lot of space. One of the main functions of a waste cotton compactor is to compact waste cotton and reduce its volume. It uses mechanical pressure to squeeze loose waste cotton into dense blocks or clumps. Compacted waste cotton can make more efficient use of storage space, increase the waste storage capacity of landfills or warehouses, reduce the pollution of waste cotton to the environment, save land resources, and extend the service life of landfills.

[0030] An overview of the development history of waste cotton compactors

[0031] Origin and early applications: The exact time of origin of waste cotton compactors is difficult to determine, but it can be speculated that they gradually appeared with the advancement of industrialization and the development of the cotton textile industry. In the early days, they may have compacted waste cotton in a simple manual or mechanical way to improve storage and transportation efficiency.

[0032] Technological Development and Diversification: With the advancement of technology, waste cotton compactors have gradually developed into various types, such as horizontal compactors, compressed household waste collectors, and compressed garbage trucks, to adapt to different scenarios and needs. These compactors achieve effective compaction of waste cotton through different working principles, such as static pressure, vibration, and impact.

[0033] Modernization and Automation: In recent years, waste cotton compactors have been continuously developing towards modernization and automation, improving compaction efficiency and effectiveness while reducing manual intervention and labor intensity. Simultaneously, with increasing environmental awareness, waste cotton compactors are also placing greater emphasis on environmental performance and resource reuse.

[0034] Waste cotton compactors play a crucial role in waste cotton processing. They not only improve the efficiency of waste cotton storage and transportation but also help protect the environment and conserve resources. However, waste cotton compactors often encounter some problems during actual use. Below are some common problems and their possible causes: 1. Inadequate compaction: Insufficient loosening of the soil, excessively loose waste cotton, or excessively fast compaction speed can lead to insufficient compaction. 2. Frequent mechanical failures: Prolonged operation can easily lead to oil leaks, component wear, and other malfunctions, affecting work efficiency and increasing maintenance costs. This is due to a lack of maintenance and aging components. 3. Accidents caused by improper operation: Improper operation by users can lead to safety accidents such as brake failure, inability to start, or machine overturning. This is due to insufficient operator skills or lack of experience.

[0035] Currently, various waste cotton compactors exist on the market, but some problems and challenges remain in practical use, such as: 1. Static compactor: Relying on its own weight and the contact area of ​​the rollers, it compacts waste cotton through static pressure, suitable for cohesive soils and sandy soils. However, the compaction depth is limited. 2. Vibratory compactor: Compacts waste cotton by generating high-frequency vibration through a vibrator, suitable for loose materials, with good compaction effect, and suitable for large-area operations. However, it may damage the structure. 3. Impact compactor: Compacts waste cotton using the impact force of an impact wheel, with high compaction efficiency and great depth. However, it is difficult to operate and may damage the soil structure. 4. Ramming compactor: Compacts waste cotton using the impact force of a ram, suitable for localized precise compaction. However, it is difficult to operate. 5. Horizontal compactor: Densifies and shapes waste cotton through horizontal pressure heads, often used in transfer stations. However, it can only be used at fixed points. 6. Three-way combined compactor: Has three mutually perpendicular pressure heads, gradually reducing the volume of waste cotton. However, it can only be used at fixed points. 7. Rotary compactor: It has a flat plate compactor head that compacts waste cotton by rotation. It is suitable for waste cotton that is small in volume and light in weight. However, it can only be used in a fixed location.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides an embodiment: a waste cotton compactor collection device, including a feeding tank 1, an anti-fall component, a compaction component, a feeding pipe 4, a collection box 5, an observation window 6, a PLC control module 7, a discharge door 8, and a mounting base 9. An anti-fall component to prevent waste cotton from falling during compaction is fixedly installed at the lower end of the feeding tank 1. A compaction component for squeezing the waste cotton is fixedly installed at the upper end of the feeding tank 1. A feeding pipe 4 for introducing waste cotton is fixedly installed near the bottom of the right end of the feeding tank 1. A collection box 5 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the anti-fall component. The collection box 5 for compacted waste cotton has an observation window 6 at the front left for observing the compression of the waste cotton and can be opened and closed. A PLC control module 7 for controlling the operation of the control device is fixedly installed at the lower right front of the collection box 5. The model of the PLC control module 7 is CJ1W-SRM21. The rear end of the collection box 5 has a discharge door 8 for discharging the compacted waste cotton. The lower end of the collection box 5 is fixedly installed with a mounting base 9 for supporting and fixing the collection box 5. The upper end of the mounting base 9 has mounting holes 10 around the four corners for installing and fixing the mounting base 9.

[0037] Please see Figures 3-4In this embodiment, the anti-fall component includes a welding frame 201, a transparent plexiglass plate 202, screws 205, and nuts 206. Two sets of welding frames 201 are arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides. The upper ends of the two sets of welding frames 201 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the feeding tank 1 and the upper end of the collection box 5, respectively. The inner sides of the front and rear ends of the two sets of welding frames 201 are provided with transparent plexiglass plates 202 for preventing waste cotton from falling and for observing the condition of the waste cotton press. The left and right ends of the transparent plexiglass plates 202 are symmetrically provided with two sets of second connecting holes 204. The welding frame 201 is provided with a first connecting hole 203 at the position corresponding to the second connecting hole 204. The transparent plexiglass plate 202 and the welding frame 201 are detachably connected through the first connecting hole 203 and the second connecting hole 204. The transparent plexiglass plate 202 and the welding frame 201 are installed and fixed together by screws 205 and nuts 206.

[0038] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the compaction assembly includes a mounting frame 301, hydraulic rods 302, a hydraulic cylinder 303, and a pressure plate 304. The lower end of the mounting frame 301 is symmetrically provided with two sets of hydraulic rods 302. The lower end of the hydraulic rods 302 extends through the upper end of the feeding tank 1 into its interior. The upper end of the hydraulic rods 302 extends through the lower end of the mounting frame 301 and is fixedly connected to the upper end with a hydraulic cylinder 303 for controlling the up-and-down movement of the hydraulic rods 302. The lower ends of the two sets of hydraulic rods 302 are fixedly installed with a pressure plate 304 for compacting waste cotton. The pressure plate 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding tank 1. The hydraulic cylinder 303 controls the pressure plate 304 to move synchronously by controlling the up-and-down movement of the hydraulic rods 302.

[0039] When working, first install and fix the device in the corresponding stable position. Install and fix the mounting base 9 in the corresponding position through the mounting hole 10 on the mounting base 9, and connect the feeding pipe 4 of the feeding tank 1 to the relevant feeding structure.

[0040] Then check whether the relevant structures are closed and sealed properly, ensure that all structures are in normal condition, and then start working through the control device of PLC control module 7;

[0041] First, waste cotton is fed into the feeding tank 1 through the feeding pipe 4, and then falls from the feeding tank 1 into the collection box 5 below;

[0042] The waste cotton that falls into the collection box 5 is then compacted by the compaction component. The hydraulic cylinder 303 controls the hydraulic rod 302 to move up and down to continuously squeeze the fallen waste cotton.

[0043] During the process of waste cotton falling and being squeezed, the waste cotton is blocked by the anti-fall component to prevent it from falling to the outside, and the falling situation of the waste cotton is observed through the transparent plexiglass plate 202 on the anti-fall component, and the squeezing situation of the waste cotton in the collection box 5 is observed through the observation window 6.

[0044] When the waste cotton reaches the required height, stop feeding the waste cotton. After the waste cotton is compacted, open the discharge door 8 to discharge the compressed waste cotton. You can also open the observation window 6 to assist in the discharge of the compressed waste cotton.

[0045] Through the above steps, by setting up a waste cotton compactor collection device with an anti-fall component, the anti-fall component is set as a rectangular closed groove composed of two sets of welded frames 201 and two sets of transparent plexiglass plates 202. This not only increases the capacity of the collection device and prevents waste cotton from falling during the compaction process, but also allows for real-time observation of the falling waste cotton inside through the transparent plexiglass plates 202, avoiding scattering of cotton, keeping the site clean and tidy, reducing labor intensity, and eliminating safety hazards. This solves the problem that existing waste cotton compactors typically handle loose cotton, causing cotton to fall and scatter around the baler during the baling process, affecting the site, increasing labor intensity, and easily causing safety hazards.
