Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting device technology, and in particular to a waste metal recycling and sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Metal sorting machines are efficient and precise sorting equipment that use physical and chemical properties to separate metals. They are widely used in fields such as scrap metal recycling, mining, metal processing, and scientific research. Their emergence has improved production efficiency, reduced costs, and is of great significance to environmental protection and resource utilization.

[0003] The working principle of a metal sorting machine is to use metal sensors and ejection devices to separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals in crushed materials. The mixed material is fed evenly through a vibrating hopper and falls onto a moving conveyor belt. The moving conveyor belt transports the material forward. A sensing platform is set under the conveyor belt, equipped with multiple metal sensing probes, which can identify the material and transmit voltage signals to the control system. An air jet valve is set at the end of the conveyor belt. When metal passes through the air jet valve, the air jet valve sprays gas to lift the metal and drop it to a designated position. A baffle is set in the discharge hopper, dividing the discharge hopper into two compartments, thus ensuring that metals and non-metals in the material fall out of the two compartments separately, completing the sorting.

[0004] However, the materials that fall onto the conveyor belt after passing through the vibrating bucket may still pile up together. This makes it impossible for the metal sensing probe to separate the piled-up materials. As a result, the air valve can easily push non-metallic objects, causing them to fall into the metal bins, thus increasing the operating error of the sorting machine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problem that materials falling onto the conveyor belt after passing through the vibrating bucket may still pile up together, making it impossible for the metal sensing probe to separate the piled-up materials. This causes the air valve to easily push non-metallic objects, causing them to fall into the metal bins, thus increasing the operational error of the sorting machine. Therefore, this invention proposes a waste metal recycling and sorting device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a waste metal recycling and sorting device, comprising a housing, a conveyor belt disposed inside the housing, rollers symmetrically arranged inside the conveyor belt, the outer surfaces of the rollers being rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the housing, a motor disposed on one side of the housing, the output end of the motor passing through the inner wall of the housing and fixedly connected to one end of one of the rollers, an auxiliary device disposed on the top of the conveyor belt, the auxiliary device comprising two rectangular plates, both rectangular plates being disposed on the top of the conveyor belt, a plurality of auxiliary plates being rotatably connected evenly between the two rectangular plates, and extension blocks being fixedly connected to the sides of the two rectangular plates that are far apart from each other. The extension block has symmetrical auxiliary grooves on both sides. The outer surface of the extension block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary groove. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension block. A threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod. Two connecting blocks are provided on the outer surface of the threaded cylinder. One side of the two connecting blocks is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing. A vibrating bucket is provided on one side of the top of the base plate. One end of the vibrating bucket is located on one side of the top of the conveyor belt. A frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate. A single roller is provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame. A positioning device is provided inside the frame. A connecting chamber is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. A discharge hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting chamber.

[0007] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: By setting an auxiliary plate, the threaded rod rotates under the action of the threaded rod, and the threaded rod extends and retracts on the inner wall of the threaded cylinder. During the extension and retraction process, the threaded rod will drive the rectangular plate and the auxiliary plate connected to the extension block to move synchronously until the auxiliary plate reaches the appropriate position on the conveyor belt. When the material moves on the conveyor belt, the stacked material will be higher than the unstacked material. This will cause the stacked material to block the auxiliary plate. The auxiliary plate is made of a high-density metal material. The stacked material will cause the auxiliary plate to rotate to a certain extent. The auxiliary plate will push the material, causing the stacked material to separate from each other, thereby preventing the material from stacking and reducing the operating error of the sorting machine.

[0008] Preferably, two bearings are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded cylinder, and the outer surface of the bearings is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block.

[0009] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting bearings, the friction between the threaded cylinder and the two connecting blocks can be reduced when rotating the threaded cylinder, making it easier to rotate the threaded cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, an operating block is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded cylinder, and the outer surface of the operating block is provided with protrusions.

[0011] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting the operating block, rotating the operating block can drive the threaded cylinder to rotate. At the same time, the outer surface of the operating block is provided with protrusions, which can effectively increase the friction of the outer surface of the operating block and have an anti-slip effect when rotating the operating block.

[0012] Preferably, a slider is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular plate, and sliding grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides of the inner wall of the housing. The outer surface of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0013] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting the slider and the slide, when the rectangular plate moves under the action of the threaded rod, the rectangular plate will drive the slider to slide synchronously on the inner wall of the slide. The slider and the slide can limit and guide the rectangular plate.

[0014] Preferably, a number of rubber strips are uniformly fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the auxiliary plate.

[0015] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting rubber strips, they can act like a broom to sweep the materials and improve the pushing ability of the auxiliary plate.

[0016] Preferably, the positioning device includes a positioning plate disposed inside the frame, and rectangular rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the positioning plate. Auxiliary blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the frame, and the outer surface of the rectangular rods is slidably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary blocks.

[0017] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting up a positioning plate and pushing the positioning plate downward until the bottom of the positioning plate abuts the ground, the positioning plate can increase the friction and support area between the sorting device and the ground, which helps to prevent the sorting device from easily shifting.

[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the auxiliary block is threaded with a threaded pin, and one end of the threaded pin is fixedly connected to a rotating block.

[0019] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting a threaded pin, rotating the rotating block drives the threaded pin to rotate, so that one end of the threaded pin abuts against one end of the rectangular rod, thereby fixing the rectangular rod and the auxiliary block, and thus fixing the positioning plate.

[0020] Preferably, a mounting groove is provided on one side of the rectangular rod, and a rubber plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove, with the threaded pin disposed on one side of the rubber plate.

[0021] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting the rubber plate, the friction on one side of the rectangular rod can be increased, making the threaded pin more securely fixed to the positioning plate.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] In this invention, by setting an auxiliary plate, the threaded rod can drive the rectangular plate and the auxiliary plate to move synchronously under the action of the threaded rod until the auxiliary plate reaches a suitable position on the conveyor belt. When the material moves on the conveyor belt, the stacked material will be higher than the unstacked material. This causes the stacked material to block the auxiliary plate. The auxiliary plate is made of a high-density metal material. The stacked material will cause the auxiliary plate to rotate to a certain extent. The auxiliary plate will push the material, causing the stacked material to separate from each other, thereby preventing the material from stacking and reducing the operating error of the sorting machine.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment discloses a waste metal recycling and sorting device, including a housing 1. A conveyor belt 5 is disposed inside the housing 1, and rollers 6 are symmetrically arranged inside the conveyor belt 5. The outer surfaces of the rollers 6 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the housing 1. A motor 7 is disposed on one side of the housing 1, and the output end of the motor 7 passes through the inner wall of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to one end of one of the rollers 6. An auxiliary device 2 is disposed on the top of the conveyor belt 5. The auxiliary device 2 includes two rectangular plates 21, both of which are disposed on the top of the conveyor belt 5. Several auxiliary plates 22 are rotatably connected evenly between the two rectangular plates 21. An extension block 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the two rectangular plates 21 that is far apart from each other. The top of the housing 1... Auxiliary grooves 24 are symmetrically provided on both sides. The outer surface of the extension block 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary groove 24. A threaded rod 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension block 23. A threaded cylinder 26 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 25. Two connecting blocks 27 are provided on the outer surface of the threaded cylinder 26. One side of the two connecting blocks 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. A base plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. A vibrating bucket 4 is provided on one side of the top of the base plate 8. One end of the vibrating bucket 4 is located on one side of the top of the conveyor belt 5. A frame 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 8. A single roller 10 is provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame 9. A positioning device 3 is provided inside the frame 9. A connecting chamber 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. 1. A discharge hopper 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting bin 11. By setting an auxiliary plate 22, under the action of the threaded rod 25, rotating the threaded cylinder 26 will cause the threaded rod 25 to extend and retract within the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 26. During the extension and retraction of the threaded rod 25, it will drive the rectangular plate 21 connected to the extension block 23 and the auxiliary plate 22 to move synchronously until the auxiliary plate 22 reaches a suitable position on the conveyor belt 5. When the material moves on the conveyor belt 5, the stacked material will be higher than the unstacked material. This will cause the stacked material to obstruct the auxiliary plate 22. The auxiliary plate 22 is made of a high-density metal material. The stacked material will cause the auxiliary plate 22 to rotate to a certain extent. 2. The material is pushed to separate the stacked materials, thus preventing them from overlapping and reducing the operating error of the sorting machine. The mixed material is evenly fed through the vibrating bucket 4 and falls onto the running conveyor belt 5. The moving conveyor belt 5 transports the material forward. A sensing platform is set under the conveyor belt 5, and multiple metal sensing probes are installed to identify the material and transmit the voltage signal to the control system. An air jet valve is set at the end of the conveyor belt 5. When metal passes through the air jet valve, the air jet valve sprays gas to lift the metal and drop it to a designated position. A baffle is set in the discharge hopper 12 to divide the discharge hopper 12 into two chambers, thus ensuring that metal and non-metal in the material fall out of the two chambers respectively, completing the sorting.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, two bearings 28 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded cylinder 26. The outer surface of the bearings 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 27. By setting the bearings 28, the friction between the threaded cylinder 26 and the two connecting blocks 27 can be reduced when rotating the threaded cylinder 26, making it easier to rotate the threaded cylinder 26. An operating block 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded cylinder 26. The outer surface of the operating block 29 is provided with protrusions. By setting the operating block 29, rotating the operating block 29 can drive the threaded cylinder 26 to rotate. At the same time, the protrusions on the outer surface of the operating block 29 can effectively increase the friction of the outer surface of the operating block 29, which has an anti-slip effect when rotating the operating block 29.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-4 As shown, a slider 210 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular plate 21, and a sliding groove 211 is symmetrically opened on both sides of the inner wall of the housing 1. The outer surface of the slider 210 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 211. By setting the slider 210 and the sliding groove 211, when the rectangular plate 21 moves under the action of the threaded rod 25, the rectangular plate 21 will drive the slider 210 to slide synchronously on the inner wall of the sliding groove 211. The slider 210 and the sliding groove 211 can limit and guide the rectangular plate 21. Several rubber strips 212 are uniformly fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the auxiliary plate 22. By setting the rubber strips 212, they can act like a broom to sweep the material and improve the pushing ability of the auxiliary plate 22.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning device 3 includes a positioning plate 31, which is set inside the frame 9. Rectangular rods 32 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the positioning plate 31, and auxiliary blocks 33 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the frame 9. The outer surface of the rectangular rods 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary blocks 33. By setting the positioning plate 31, the positioning plate 31 is pushed downward until the bottom of the positioning plate 31 abuts against the ground. The positioning plate 31 can increase the friction and support area between the sorting device and the ground, which helps to prevent the sorting device from easily shifting.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a threaded pin 34 is threaded into the inner wall of the auxiliary block 33. One end of the threaded pin 34 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 35. By setting the threaded pin 34, rotating the rotating block 35 causes the threaded pin 34 to rotate, so that one end of the threaded pin 34 abuts against one side of the rectangular rod 32, thereby fixing the rectangular rod 32 and the auxiliary block 33, and thus fixing the positioning plate 31. A mounting groove 36 is opened on one side of the rectangular rod 32. A rubber plate 37 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 36. The threaded pin 34 is set on one side of the rubber plate 37. By setting the rubber plate 37, the friction on one side of the rectangular rod 32 can be increased, making the fixing of the threaded pin 34 to the positioning plate 31 more stable.

[0036] Working principle: Rotating the two operating blocks 29 drives the threaded cylinder 26 to rotate, which in turn causes the threaded rod 25 to extend and retract within the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 26. Under the limiting of the slider 210 and the slide groove 211, the threaded rod 25 drives the rectangular plate 21 and the auxiliary plate 22 connected to the extension block 23 to move synchronously until the auxiliary plate 22 reaches a suitable position on the conveyor belt 5. When the material moves on the conveyor belt 5, the stacked material will be higher than the unstacked material. This causes the stacked material to obstruct the auxiliary plate 22 and the rubber strip 212. The auxiliary plate 22 is made of a high-density metal material, and the stacked material will cause the auxiliary plate 22 to be obstructed to a certain extent. The auxiliary plate 22 will push the material to separate the stacked materials, thereby preventing the materials from overlapping and reducing the operating error of the sorting machine. The positioning plate 31 is pushed downward until the bottom of the positioning plate 31 abuts against the ground. Then the rotating block 35 is rotated to drive the threaded pin 34 to rotate, so that one end of the threaded pin 34 abuts against the rubber strip 212 on one side of the rectangular rod 32. This can fix the rectangular rod 32 and the auxiliary block 33, and thus fix the positioning plate 31. The positioning plate 31 can increase the friction and support area between the sorting device and the ground, which helps to prevent the sorting device from easily shifting.
