Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction waste screening, specifically to a material separation device at the transfer point of a recycled aggregate conveyor belt. Background Technology
[0002] Construction waste can be processed into recycled aggregates with multiple uses through crushing, screening, and impurity removal. Although the recycled aggregates from construction waste undergo multiple processes such as crushing, screening, and impurity removal, they still contain some lightweight and airy materials. Common lightweight materials include wood strips and aerated concrete blocks, while airy materials include wood chips and plastic sheets. The presence of these lightweight and airy materials in the recycled aggregates causes certain problems in practical applications, such as pipe blockage by airy materials, excessive impurities affecting quality, and poor density in the resulting absorbent bricks. For renovation construction waste, even after crushing, screening, and impurity removal, the resulting recycled aggregates still contain lightweight materials such as thin wood strips, foam blocks, narrow plastic strips, and fibrous materials. Furthermore, the crushing, screening, and impurity removal processes generate small-diameter aggregate particles and dust, all of which reduce the quality of the recycled aggregates and may even render them unusable for recycling. Therefore, from the perspective of the quality objectives of recycled aggregates, it is necessary to further sort the recycled aggregates to remove as much lightweight and airborne material as possible. However, considering that the recycled aggregates have already undergone screening by large-scale sorting equipment during the production process, adding more large-scale sorting equipment, such as large-scale air classifiers or composite sorting equipment, is not feasible from either a process layout or cost perspective.
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a material separation device at the conveyor belt transfer point of recycled aggregate. Considering that the transfer of recycled aggregate mainly relies on conveyor belt, a positive pressure separation fan is set at the conveyor belt transfer point to perform positive pressure separation of light materials and light floating materials. At the same time, corresponding pipelines and light material collection tanks and light floating material collection tanks are provided to recover light materials and light floating materials, thereby separating and removing light materials and light floating materials from recycled aggregate as much as possible, so as to solve the problem that some light materials and light floating materials still exist in recycled aggregate in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a material separation device at the transfer point of recycled aggregate conveyor belt to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0005] An improvement of a material separation device at a recycled aggregate conveyor belt transfer point is as follows: It includes a positive pressure separation fan, which is positioned between the upper and lower conveyor belts and performs air separation on the recycled aggregate transferred from the upper belt to the lower belt, allowing light and airborne materials in the recycled aggregate to enter a hopper. The lower part of the hopper is equipped with a light material discharge valve, which is connected to a light material conveying fan and a light material collection tank via a three-way pipe. The lower part of the light material collection tank is equipped with a light material unloading valve, and the upper part of the light material collection tank is equipped with a dust collector interface for connecting to a dust collector. The upper middle part of the hopper is connected to a light material conveying fan via a pipe, and the light material conveying fan is connected to the light material collection tank via a pipe. The upper part of the light material collection tank is equipped with an exhaust valve, and the lower part is equipped with a light material unloading valve.
[0006] Preferably, an electromagnetic valve is provided between the lightweight material conveying fan and the lightweight material collection tank.
[0007] Preferably, the material drop point of the upper belt and the material receiving point of the lower belt are connected by a flexible pipe, and the positive pressure separating fan and the air hopper are located on corresponding sides of the flexible pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the positive pressure separating fan, the light material conveying fan, and the light floating material conveying fan are all equipped with air knives for controlling the air outlet angle and flow rate.
[0009] Preferably, the light material discharge valve is a star-shaped discharge valve.
[0010] Preferably, both the light material unloading valve and the light floating material unloading valve are star-shaped unloading valves.
[0011] Preferably, the lightweight material collection tank is a cyclone collection tank.
[0012] This invention effectively sorts recycled aggregate at transfer points, allowing for better classification of lightweight materials such as wood strips, aerated concrete blocks, and other light and airy materials. The majority of lightweight and airy materials are separated into an air hopper, with the airy materials further separated into a collection tank. This efficient separation of lightweight and airy materials reduces the proportion of these materials on the surface of the recycled aggregate, improving product quality and minimizing the risk of blockages in subsequent processes.

[0015] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] Reference Figure 1 As shown, an improved material separation device at a recycled aggregate conveyor belt transfer point includes a positive pressure separation fan 1, which is positioned between the upper conveyor belt 4 and the lower conveyor belt 5 to perform air separation on the recycled aggregate transferred from the upper conveyor belt 4 to the lower conveyor belt 5, allowing light and airborne materials in the recycled aggregate to enter the air hopper 6. The lower part of the air hopper 6 is equipped with a light material discharge valve 7, which is connected to a light material conveying fan 2 and a light material collection tank 13 via a three-way pipe. The lower part of the light material collection tank 13 is equipped with a light material unloading valve 9, and the upper part of the light material collection tank 13 is equipped with a dust collector interface 14 for connecting to a dust collector. The upper middle part of the air hopper 6 is connected to a light material conveying fan 3 via a pipe, and the light material conveying fan 3 is connected to a light material collection tank 11 via a pipe. The upper part of the light material collection tank 11 is equipped with an exhaust valve 12, and the lower part is equipped with a light material unloading valve 8.
[0017] In this embodiment, the positive pressure separation fan 1 provides the air force required for positive pressure separation. It can be rigid or flexible and performs positive pressure separation on the recycled aggregate transferred from the upper belt 4 to the lower belt 5. This process does not affect the transfer of recycled aggregate. The positive pressure air force of the positive pressure separation fan 1 causes light materials and light floating materials to enter the air hopper 6. The light floating materials are transported to the light floating material collection tank 11 by the light floating material conveying fan 3 and discharged through the light floating material discharge valve 8. The light materials enter the three-way pipe through the light materials discharge valve 7 and are transported to the light materials collection tank 13 by the light materials conveying fan. The light materials are then discharged in conjunction with an external dust removal system.
[0018] This embodiment effectively sorts recycled aggregate at the transfer point, allowing for better classification of lightweight materials such as wood strips, aerated concrete blocks, and loose materials. The majority of lightweight and loose materials are separated into the air hopper 6, with loose materials going into the loose material collection tank 11 and lightweight materials into the lightweight material collection tank 13. This embodiment effectively separates lightweight and loose materials from the recycled aggregate, reducing the proportion of lightweight and loose materials on the surface of the recycled aggregate, improving product quality, and also reducing the risk of blockages in subsequent processes caused by loose materials.
[0019] Furthermore, a solenoid valve 10 is provided between the lightweight material conveying fan 3 and the lightweight material collection tank 11.
[0020] In this embodiment, the entry of light materials into the light material collection tank 11 is controlled by switching the solenoid valve 10 on and off.
[0021] Furthermore, the material drop point of the upper belt 4 and the material receiving point of the lower belt are connected by a flexible pipe, and the positive pressure separating fan 1 and the air hopper 6 are located on corresponding sides of the flexible pipe.
[0022] In this embodiment, by connecting the transfer point of the recycled aggregate through a flexible pipe, the lightweight materials and light floating materials in the recycled aggregate can be separated more concentratedly into the air hopper 6, thereby improving the sorting effect.
[0023] Furthermore, the positive pressure separating fan 1, the light material conveying fan 2, and the light floating material conveying fan 3 are all equipped with air knives for controlling the air outlet angle and flow rate.
[0024] Furthermore, the light material discharge valve 7 is a star-shaped discharge valve; the light material unloading valve 9 and the light floating material unloading valve 8 are both star-shaped unloading valves; and the light material collection tank 13 is a cyclone collection tank.
[0025] In this embodiment, the star-shaped discharge valve and unloading valve can discharge and unload materials without stopping the machine, while the cyclone collection tank is more conducive to the collection and unloading of lightweight materials.
