Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum-plastic separators, specifically an aluminum-plastic separator that can enhance airflow separation. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of an aluminum-plastic separator is mainly to separate aluminum and plastic from composite materials through physical means. Aluminum-plastic composite materials are usually formed by hot-pressing aluminum foil and plastic film (such as polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.). When recycling this material, specific methods are needed to separate the aluminum and plastic.

[0003] In existing aluminum-plastic separators, after the aluminum-plastic mixture is crushed, it passes through an airflow separator. The airflow gently lifts the less dense plastic, while the heavier aluminum falls to the bottom. This differentiated airflow separation can separate aluminum and plastic. However, when the material volume is large, the airflow rate of the separator can be increased, but the number of air holes within the separator is difficult to adjust. This results in a more concentrated airflow when the airflow rate increases, and when the number of air holes remains constant, the airflow speed and force increase, affecting the separation effect between aluminum and plastic, making it inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an aluminum-plastic separator that can enhance airflow separation in order to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum-plastic separator that can enhance airflow separation, thereby solving the problem mentioned in the background art where, as the airflow increases and the number of air holes remains constant, the airflow becomes more concentrated, affecting the separation effect between aluminum and plastic.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an aluminum-plastic separator that can enhance airflow separation, comprising a sorting frame and a feeding component installed at the top of the sorting frame, an airflow component installed at one outer end of the sorting frame, support legs installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the sorting frame, and aluminum material racks and plastic racks installed on both sides of the bottom end of the sorting frame respectively.

[0007] The sorting frame has an inner frame groove inside, and an exhaust device is installed inside the inner frame groove. The top of the sorting frame has an adjustment groove and a top groove. A cylinder is installed inside the adjustment groove. One end of the cylinder is inside the top groove. A moving frame is installed at the moving end of the cylinder. A screen is installed at the bottom of the moving frame. The moving frame is movably installed inside the top groove.

[0008] Preferably, the exhaust component includes a U-shaped frame A and a U-shaped frame B installed at the bottom of the movable frame. Ventilation strips are installed on both sides of the U-shaped frame A and the U-shaped frame B, and a solenoid valve is installed inside the ventilation strip.

[0009] Preferably, the airflow component includes an air pump installed on the outer surface of the sorting frame, a three-way pipe installed at the air outlet of the air pump, the two ends of the three-way pipe passing through the sorting frame and connected to the two sets of ventilation strips respectively, and the interior of the U-shaped frame A and U-shaped frame B are provided with drainage holes, the interior of the drainage holes is equipped with dustproof nets, and a PLC is installed on the outer surface of the sorting frame.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding component includes a feeding frame and an inner groove formed at the upper end of the feeding frame. The inner wall of the inner groove is provided with a sliding groove. The bottom end of the inner groove and the bottom of the feeding frame are provided with an alignment groove. The outer surface of the feeding frame and the side away from the sliding groove are provided with a through groove. An adjustment component is installed on the side of the groove and the outer surface of the feeding frame.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting component includes side blocks installed on both sides of the slot, a motor is installed on the outer surface of a set of the side blocks, a positive and negative thread screw is installed at the output end of the motor, and a moving strip is threaded to both ends of the positive and negative thread screw, and the middle end of the moving strip is slidably installed inside the slot.

[0012] Preferably, triangular inner plates are installed on both sides of the inside of the feed frame, and there are four sets of triangular inner plates, which are symmetrically installed at the upper and lower ends of the inner groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model discloses an aluminum-plastic separator that can enhance airflow separation. When there is too much material, the motor starts to operate, causing two sets of moving strips to move in opposite directions on the outer surface of the positive and negative thread screws, thus expanding the area through which the material passes. During the movement of the moving strips, the PLC receives the signal from the motor and controls the air pump and solenoid valve to operate. The air pump speed increases, and after the solenoid valve opens, the airflow is discharged into the interior of the U-shaped frame A. The airflow is distributed using U-shaped frame A and U-shaped frame B, increasing the number of air holes used for aluminum-plastic separation. The gas inside U-shaped frame A and U-shaped frame B is discharged through the airflow, separating the sieved aluminum and plastic shavings.

[0015] 2. The aluminum-plastic separator of this utility model can enhance airflow separation. When the material cannot fall on its own, the motor continues to operate and uses the triangular inner plate to push the material at the top of the moving bar to the top of the screen for drying. When the PLC receives the motor signal again, it will reduce the speed of the air pump and close the solenoid valve to avoid excessive airflow. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 An aluminum-plastic separator that enhances airflow separation includes a sorting frame 2 and a feeding component 1 installed at the top of the sorting frame 2. An airflow component 7 is installed at one outer end of the sorting frame 2. Support legs 4 are installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the sorting frame 2. An aluminum material rack 5 and a plastic rack 6 are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom end of the sorting frame 2.

[0023] The sorting frame 2 has an inner frame groove 27 inside, and an exhaust component 26 is installed inside the inner frame groove 27. The top of the sorting frame 2 has an adjustment groove 21 and a top groove 23. A cylinder 22 is installed inside the adjustment groove 21. One end of the cylinder 22 is inside the top groove 23. A moving frame 24 is installed at the moving end of the cylinder 22. A screen 25 is installed at the bottom of the moving frame 24. The moving frame 24 is movably installed inside the top groove 23. The bottom end of the moving frame 24 contacts the top of the exhaust component 26. The exhaust component 26 distributes the increased airflow.

[0024] The feeding component 1 includes a feeding frame 11 and an inner groove 12 formed at the upper end of the feeding frame 11. The inner wall of the inner groove 12 is provided with a sliding groove 14. The bottom end of the inner groove 12 and the bottom of the feeding frame 11 are provided with an alignment groove 13. The outer surface of the feeding frame 11 and the side away from the sliding groove 14 are provided with a through slot 15. An adjusting member 16 is installed on one side of the slot 15 and the outer surface of the feeding frame 11. The opening area of ​​the feeding frame 11 is controlled by the adjusting member 16.

[0025] The adjusting component 16 includes side blocks 161 installed on both sides of the slot 15. A motor 164 is installed on the outer surface of one set of side blocks 161. A screw 163 with positive and negative threads is installed at the output end of the motor 164. The two ends of the screw 163 with positive and negative threads are threaded with moving strips 162. The middle end of the moving strip 162 is slidably installed inside the slot 15. The moving strip 162 is L-shaped. The two sets of moving strips 162 are symmetrically installed about the vertical center line of the feed frame 11.

[0026] Triangular inner plates 17 are installed on both sides of the inside of the feed frame 11, and there are four sets of triangular inner plates 17. The four sets of triangular inner plates 17 are symmetrically installed at the upper and lower ends of the inner groove 12. The distance between the vertical triangular inner plates 17 on the same side is consistent with the height of the moving bar 162.

[0027] In this embodiment: when there is too much material, the motor 164 starts to operate, and the positive and negative thread screws 163 rotate between the two sets of side blocks 161, causing the two sets of moving strips 162 to move in opposite directions on the outer surface of the positive and negative thread screws 163. The moving strips 162 move into the space between the two sets of triangular inner plates 17 on the same vertical side, and the distance between one end of the two sets of moving strips 162 increases, expanding the area through which the material passes. When the moving strips 162 move a certain distance, they will stop moving, and the material will be discharged into the interior of the moving frame 24. The cylinder 22 extends and retracts, driving the material and the moving frame 24 to move, causing the material to be screened at the top of the screen 25. The material is sorted by the airflow. Plastic scraps move into the plastic frame 6 because of their light weight, and filter scraps fall into the interior of the aluminum frame 5 because of their heavy weight, thus completing the separation between aluminum and plastic.

[0028] Example 2: This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-4 The exhaust component 26 includes a U-shaped frame A261 and a U-shaped frame B262 installed at the bottom of the movable frame 24. Ventilation strips 263 are installed on both sides of the U-shaped frame A261 and the U-shaped frame B262. A solenoid valve 264 is installed inside the ventilation strip 263. The outlet end of the solenoid valve 264 passes through the ventilation strip 263 and the U-shaped frame B262, and the outlet end of the solenoid valve 264 is located inside the U-shaped frame B262.

[0029] The airflow component 7 includes an air pump 71 installed on the outer surface of the sorting frame 2. A three-way pipe 72 is installed at the air outlet end of the air pump 71. Both ends of the three-way pipe 72 pass through the sorting frame 2 and are respectively connected to the two sets of ventilation strips 263. Drain holes 265 are opened inside the U-shaped frame A 261 and U-shaped frame B 262. Dustproof nets 266 are installed inside the drain holes 265. A PLC 3 is installed on the outer surface of the sorting frame 2. The drain holes 265 are used to discharge gas, which facilitates the separation of aluminum and plastic chips by air.

[0030] In this embodiment: During the movement of the moving bar 162, the PLC3 receives a signal from the motor 164 and controls the air pump 71 and the solenoid valve 264 to operate. The speed of the air pump 71 increases, the airflow into the three-way pipe 72 increases, and the airflow into the two sets of ventilation bars 263 also increases. After the solenoid valve 264 opens, the airflow is discharged into the U-shaped frame A261. The airflow is distributed using the U-shaped frame A261 and U-shaped frame B262, increasing the number of vents used for aluminum-plastic separation. The gas inside the U-shaped frame A261 and U-shaped frame B262 is discharged through 265, thus separating the sieved material. The aluminum and plastic shavings are separated. 266, located inside 265, prevents shavings from entering the interior of U-shaped frames A261 and B262. When the material at the top of the moving bar 162 cannot fall independently, the motor 164 continues to operate, and the moving bar 162 moves between the vertical triangular inner plates 17 on the same side. The triangular inner plates 17 push the material at the top of the moving bar 162 to the top of the screen 25 for drying. When the PLC3 receives the signal from the motor 164 again, it will reduce the speed of the air pump 71 and close the solenoid valve 264 to prevent excessive airflow and blow the filter shavings into the plastic shavings.

[0031] Working principle: When there is too much material, the motor 164 starts to operate, causing the two sets of moving strips 162 to move in opposite directions on the outer surface of the positive and negative thread screws 163, thus expanding the area through which the material passes. During the movement of the moving strips 162, the PLC3 receives the signal from the motor 164 and controls the air pump 71 and the solenoid valve 264 to operate. The speed of the air pump 71 increases, and after the solenoid valve 264 opens, the airflow is discharged into the interior of the U-shaped frame A261. The airflow is distributed by the U-shaped frame A261 and the U-shaped frame B262, increasing the number of air holes used for aluminum-plastic separation. The gas inside the U-shaped frame A261 and the U-shaped frame B262 is discharged through 265, separating the sieved aluminum and plastic chips.
