Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid waste treatment and cleaning technology, and in particular to a novel floating plastic hot washing device. Background Technology
[0002] Floating plastics, with a density lower than water, will float on the surface during the washing process. As the recycling industry has upgraded its requirements for cleaning floating plastics from cold washing to high-temperature hot washing, how to remove the plastic from the high-temperature equipment has become a major challenge. The traditional method is: after the high-temperature hot washing, all the hot water is drained, and the material is pumped away by a screw conveyor without water. The drained hot water is then re-injected into the high-temperature equipment for heating to the required temperature before the next batch of material is injected for washing. This method has the following problems:
[0003] 1. High energy consumption. The water temperature drops after being discharged and needs to be reheated to the specified temperature.
[0004] 2. The process is complex. Material discharge requires first adding hot water, then discharging the material, and then refilling and heating the water again.
[0005] 5. Low efficiency. The process of draining hot water and then refilling it to the designated temperature takes a relatively long time, affecting the cleaning progress. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

They are used solely for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model proposes a novel floating plastic hot washing device, including a washing cylinder 1. The washing cylinder 1 has a feed inlet at its upper end, and a sealing component for sealing the feed inlet. The washing cylinder 1 also has a discharge outlet at its upper end. A temporary storage component communicating with the discharge outlet is provided on one side of the washing cylinder 1. A blocking component for blocking the discharge outlet is provided between the washing cylinder 1 and the temporary storage component. A transport component for transporting the workpiece is provided inside the temporary storage component.
[0026] In this invention, when the device is needed, the sealing component can be removed from the inlet. The plastic to be cleaned is placed in the cleaning cylinder 1, and the plastic is cleaned through the cleaning cylinder 1. After cleaning, the blocking component is removed from the outlet. The plastic and some hot water enter the temporary storage component under gravity. The plastic is separated and transported by the transport component in the temporary storage component. The device has an outlet at the top of the cleaning cylinder 1. Since the plastic floats on the water, only the hot water at the top flows out, carrying the plastic with it. This prevents all the hot water in the cleaning cylinder 1 from flowing out, so only a small portion of the hot water remains in the temporary storage component, effectively reducing heat loss. The device can effectively collect the cleaned plastic without requiring the worker to drain all the hot water from the cleaning cylinder 1 before removing the plastic. This effectively prevents heat loss after all the hot water has flowed out, reduces the workload of the workers, and avoids the long time required for the plastic to be transferred back in after all the hot water has flowed out, further improving the efficiency of the device.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the system further includes a mounting shaft 2 and a motor 3. The mounting shaft 2 is vertically positioned inside the cleaning cylinder 1, with its upper end passing through and rotatably connected to the sealing assembly. The motor 3 is located above the cleaning cylinder 1, and its output shaft is coaxially connected to the mounting shaft 2. The end of the mounting shaft 2 inside the cleaning cylinder 1 is equipped with multiple stirring rods 16. The motor 3 needs to be fixed in place using a mounting bracket. The motor 3 drives the mounting shaft 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rods 16, effectively cleaning the plastic inside the cleaning cylinder 1 more thoroughly.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, the sealing assembly includes mounting strips 4 and cover plates 5. Multiple mounting strips 4 are all located within the cleaning cylinder 1, and are circumferentially distributed within the cleaning cylinder 1. One end of each mounting strip 4 is connected to the cleaning cylinder 1, and the other ends are interconnected. Each mounting strip 4 has a first through hole through which a mounting shaft 2 passes. The mounting shaft 2 passes through the first through hole and is rotatably connected to the mounting strip 4. Support plates are provided on both sides of each mounting strip 4. A cover plate 5 is provided between any two adjacent mounting strips 4, resting on the support plate. The cover plate 5 is detachably connected to the support plate.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, a bolt is also included. The cover plate 5 has a second through hole, and the support plate has a first threaded through hole that communicates with the second through hole. One end of the bolt can pass through the second through hole and extend into the first threaded through hole. The bolt is threadedly connected to the support plate and abuts against the cover plate 5. The bolt can effectively complete the installation of the cover plate 5 and the support plate, thereby improving the stability of the cover plate 5 when sealing the cleaning cylinder 1. When loading and unloading are required, the cover plate 5 can be removed simply by removing the bolt. Loading and unloading can be performed again when processing is completed.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the shielding assembly includes a sealing door 6, a mounting bracket 7, and a cylinder 8.

The mounting bracket 7 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the cleaning cylinder 1 and has a third through hole. The fixed end of the cylinder 8 is disposed within the third through hole. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 8 is vertically downward and is connected to the upper end of the sealing door 6 via a connector 9. The cylinder 8 can effectively drive the sealing door 6 to move in the vertical direction. The sealing door 6 moves upward to open the discharge port and moves to the bottom of the discharge port to seal and shield the discharge port.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the temporary storage component includes a mounting box 10 and a guide partition 14. The mounting box 10 is arranged side by side with the cleaning cylinder 1.

Under the action of the transport component, the plastic on the guide baffle 14 can be transported, and the hot water stays in the mounting box 10. Under the action of the return water pump in the mounting box 10, it re-enters the cleaning cylinder 1. The outlet of the return water pump is provided with a connecting pipe that extends into the cleaning cylinder 1. When the blocking component completes the blocking of the discharge port, the return water pump starts to work.
