Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of glass processing equipment technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic glass residue processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Whether it's crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or thin-film photovoltaic modules, ultra-clear glass is used as an important protective layer in their structure. This ultra-clear glass not only protects the solar panel from damage but also allows for the collection, transmission, and reflection of sunlight. However, during the manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules, defective glass parts that cannot be repaired may appear. These need to be recycled. Existing technology, Chinese invention patent CN111790723A, discloses a recycling device for complete glass photovoltaic modules. It uses a combined mechanical and thermal decomposition separation method to recycle complete glass photovoltaic modules, achieving thorough separation of individual components within the photovoltaic module. Because the glass is pre-stripped, the difficulty of individual component separation during subsequent recycling is reduced, and no environmentally harmful waste gas is generated. This reduces separation difficulty, lowers operating costs, and achieves a high recycling rate. However, existing recycling equipment cannot achieve dust-free operation and cannot classify and store different materials. Utility Model Content

[0003] One of the technical problems that this disclosure aims to solve is that existing recycling equipment cannot achieve dust-free operation and cannot classify and store different materials.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a photovoltaic glass waste processing device, comprising a feeding unit, a material handling unit, a conveying unit, a sampling unit, a crushing unit, and a recycling unit. The feeding unit, material handling unit, conveying unit, sampling unit, and crushing unit are connected in sequence, and the recycling unit is connected to the crushing unit and located below the crushing unit.

[0005] The recycling unit includes a main recycling pipe, a first discharge branch pipe, and a second discharge branch pipe. The main recycling pipe is connected to the crushing unit. The lower end face of the main recycling pipe is bifurcated and connected to the first discharge branch pipe and the second discharge branch pipe respectively. A first regulating valve is provided between the main recycling pipe and the first discharge branch pipe, and a second regulating valve is provided between the main recycling pipe and the second discharge branch pipe. Corresponding crushed material storage carts are provided on the lower end faces of the first discharge branch pipe and the second discharge branch pipe respectively.

[0006] In some embodiments, the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve have the same structure. The first regulating valve includes a baffle plate and a baffle drive motor. The baffle plate is slidably disposed between the main recovery pipe and the first discharge branch pipe. The baffle drive motor is disposed on the side end of the baffle plate and is drivenly connected to the baffle plate. The movement of the baffle plate controls the opening and closing of the main recovery pipe and the first discharge branch pipe.

[0007] In some embodiments, the end face of the material blocking slide is provided with a transmission rack, and the output end of the material blocking drive motor is provided with a transmission gear. The transmission gear and the transmission rack mesh with each other, and the material blocking drive motor drives the material blocking slide to slide between the main recycling pipe and the first discharge branch pipe.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first regulating valve further includes a pressing roller, which is disposed at the side end of the material blocking slide plate, and the material blocking slide plate is located between the pressing roller and the material blocking drive motor.

[0009] In some embodiments, an end control valve is provided at the end of the first and second material discharge pipes, respectively.

[0015] Firstly, in this solution, the feeding unit and the picking unit work together to pick up and place waste glass panels one by one onto the conveying unit. The conveying unit transports the waste glass panels. When the waste glass panels are transported to the sampling unit, it is determined whether to cut and sample them according to production needs. If cutting and sampling are required, the sampling unit performs the sampling operation. If cutting and sampling are not required, the waste glass panels are directly transported to the crushing unit, where they are crushed. The crushed glass material falls into the recycling unit, where it is sorted and recycled.

[0016] Secondly, the recycling unit in this solution includes a main recycling pipeline, a first discharge branch pipeline, and a second discharge branch pipeline.
