[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of an intelligent wire and cable crushing and sorting device, including a frame 19. The frame 19 provides a stable support foundation for the entire device, ensuring its stability during operation. A copper granulator 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 19. The function of the copper granulator 2 is to perform initial crushing of the wires and cables. After the cables are transported into the copper granulator 2 by the feeding conveyor 1, the powerful crushing capacity can initially crush the cables into smaller granular materials, preparing them for subsequent sorting. The feeding conveyor 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the copper granulator 2, enabling automatic and uniform conveying of the wires and cables, ensuring a stable entry of materials into the copper granulator 2, and improving production efficiency.

[0033] The copper granulator 2 is externally fixedly connected to a Z-type separator 3. The Z-type separator 3 can perform preliminary sorting of the material after primary crushing, separating some impurities and materials that meet certain specifications by utilizing the different physical properties of the materials. A first air shut-off valve 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the Z-type separator 3. The first air shut-off valve 18 can precisely control the speed of the first sorting by adjusting its ventilation cross-sectional area, making the sorting process more controllable and efficient. A first collection hopper 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the first air shut-off valve 18. The first collection hopper 15 is used to collect the material after primary crushing, providing a buffer and storage function for subsequent further processing.

[0034] A bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 19, and a turbine mill 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 20. The bracket 20 securely mounts the turbine mill 4 onto the frame 19. The turbine mill 4 can further crush materials such as copper wire that have not been de-scraped after the initial crushing, thereby further improving the crushing degree and sorting effect of the materials.

[0035] A first blower 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the first hopper 15. When the first blower 11 is operating, it sends any incompletely separated wires and cables from the hopper through a pipe to the turbine mill 4 for further crushing. A collection assembly is located on the top of the frame 19. This assembly collects and treats dust and other contaminants generated during the sorting process, ensuring a clean working environment and normal equipment operation. A feeding assembly is also located on the top of the frame 19. This feeding assembly is responsible for properly feeding and further sorting the processed materials.

[0036] The bottom of the Z-type sorter 3 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 17, and the bottom of the fixing frame 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 19. The fixing frame 17 provides a stable support for the Z-type sorter 3, ensuring the stability of the Z-type sorter 3 during operation, thereby ensuring the reliability of the sorting effect;

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The feeding assembly includes a gravity separator 5, whose bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 19. The gravity separator 5 can perform more precise sorting of the pre-processed material based on the difference in specific gravity, separating materials of different specific gravities and improving the purity of useful materials such as copper granules. Vibrating screens 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the gravity separator 5. The vibrating screens 12 further screen the material through vibration, removing impurities and particles that do not meet specifications, making the material even purer.

[0038] A second airlock valve 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the gravity separator 5. This second airlock valve 6 can also control the speed of the second separation by adjusting the cross-sectional area of ​​the ventilation, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the separation process. A second hopper 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the second airlock valve 6. The second hopper 16 is used to collect the material after being crushed again by the turbine mill 4, providing material reserves for the separation work of the gravity separator 5. A second fan 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the second hopper 16, providing simple dust removal for fine dust in the material, reducing the impact of dust on subsequent separation processes and the working environment. A third fan 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the top of the gravity separator 5. The third fan 10 provides the necessary airflow support for the separation process of the gravity separator 5, ensuring the smooth operation of the separation work.

[0039] A pulse dust collector 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third fan 10, and the bottom of the pulse dust collector 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 19. The pulse dust collector 8 is connected to the bottom of the gravity separator 5 through a pipe, performing a second, more thorough dust removal on the material. The pulse dust collector 8 features a large processing capacity, high dust handling efficiency, and strong adaptability. It has a good collection effect on fine dust, further purifying the material and the working environment.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The collection component includes a simple bag filter 9, whose bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 19. In conjunction with the first fan 11 and the second fan 7, the simple bag filter 9 effectively collects and treats the dust generated during the first crushing and sorting process and the material handling before the second crushing, reducing dust emissions and protecting the working environment and the health of operators. One end of the top of the simple bag filter 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first fan 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outside of the second fan 7. This connection method allows dust to smoothly enter the simple bag filter 9 for processing.

[0041] A control box 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 19. The control box 13 is used to control and adjust the operation of the entire equipment. Operators can set various parameters of the equipment through the control box 13 to ensure that the equipment operates according to the predetermined requirements. A crushing and discharge pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the control box 13. The crushing and discharge pipe 14 transports the material crushed by the copper granulator 2 to the first collection hopper 15, realizing the orderly transportation of materials.

[0042] The external end of the turbine mill 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second collection hopper 16, and the other end of the crushing discharge pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first collection hopper 15. This connection method allows materials to flow orderly between various devices, realizing the continuous execution of a series of processes from primary crushing to secondary crushing, then to sorting and dust removal, ultimately achieving efficient and intelligent crushing and sorting of wires and cables.

[0043] Working principle: Cables and wires are transported to the copper wire crusher 2 via the feeding conveyor 1 for crushing. After the first crushing, the crushed material is sent to the first collection hopper 15 through a pipeline. During this process, the first blower 11 operates, sending any incompletely separated cables and wires in the collection hopper to the turbine mill 4 through a pipeline. Simultaneously, the dust generated during the process is sent to a simple bag filter 9 through a duct for treatment, thus completing the first crushing and sorting.

[0044] The materials that have completed the first crushing and sorting process will be further crushed by the aforementioned turbine mill 4 to further crush unpeeled copper wires, etc. Simultaneously, the materials will be transported to the second collection hopper 16 through pipelines by the turbine mill 4 under the operation of the second blower.

[0045] For the material in the second hopper 16, the second fan 7 is connected to a simple bag filter 9 via a duct to perform basic dust removal on the fine dust in the material. After the basic dust removal, the material passes through the gravity separator 5 below for gravity separation. Simultaneously, the bottom of the gravity separator 5 is connected to a pulse jet dust collector 8 via a pipe for a second, more thorough dust removal.

[0046] For the first and second crushing and sorting mentioned above, the speed of the first or second sorting can be controlled by adjusting the cross-sectional area of ​​the ventilation through the first air shut-off valve 18 or the second air shut-off valve 6. The pulse dust collector 8 mentioned above is used in this technical solution. The pulse dust collector 8 has a large processing capacity, high dust processing efficiency, strong adaptability, and a good collection effect on fine dust.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
