Description

A waste metal recycling and sorting equipment Technical Field

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

[0002] When recycling scrap metal, it is necessary to sort it first to remove impurities such as plastics and rubber mixed in with the metal. Currently, this is done manually, which requires people to constantly turn the metal over, making it very laborious. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a scrap metal recycling sorting device that is convenient for sorting non-metallic impurities from scrap metal, can wash away sludge, and saves manpower, in order to overcome the shortcomings of current practical applications and meet current needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waste metal recycling and sorting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A waste metal recycling and sorting device includes a water tank, a crushing mechanism, a frame, a floating debris collection net box, levers, and a transverse movement mechanism. The crushing mechanism is located above the middle part of the water tank, and the frame is located above the water tank. A floating debris collection net box is fixed inside the frame and is inclined. Multiple levers are fixed inside the frame on the front side of the floating debris collection net box. A transverse movement mechanism for moving the frame is installed on the side of the water tank. The transverse movement mechanism includes a slider, a slide rail, a second motor, a second gear, and a rack. Two sliders are fixed at the bottom of the frame, and each slider is slidably mounted on a slide rail. The slide rail is fixed to the side of the water tank. The second motor is fixed to the frame, and a second gear is fixed on the output shaft of the second motor. A rack meshing with the second gear is provided on one side of the second gear, and the rack is fixed to the outside of the water tank.

[0006] Preferably, a drain pipe is installed on one side of the water tank, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the crushing mechanism includes: a housing, crushing rollers, a first gear, a first motor, and a discharge port. Two crushing rollers are rotatably connected inside the housing. Each crushing roller is fixed with a first gear, and the two first gears mesh with each other. The first motor is fixed to the outside of the housing, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixed to one of the crushing rollers. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the housing.

[0008] Preferably, a motor controller is installed on the water tank, and the first motor and the second motor are electrically connected to the motor controller.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, the waste metal recycling and sorting equipment involves adding waste metal to the crushing mechanism for crushing. The crushed metal falls into a water tank, which is then filled with water. Non-metallic impurities such as plastics and rubber in the waste metal float to the surface. A second motor drives a second gear, which, in conjunction with a rack, moves the frame along a slide rail. This frame moves the floating debris collection net and a lever, which pushes the waste metal, causing the non-metallic impurities pressed against it to float to the surface. The floating debris collection net then collects these impurities. Furthermore, the lever's movement disturbs the water flow, washing the metal and removing sludge and impurities from its surface. In summary, this utility model facilitates the sorting of non-metallic impurities from waste metal, removes sludge, and saves manpower. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Referring to Figures 1-5, in this embodiment of the present invention, a waste metal recycling and sorting device includes a water tank 1, a crushing mechanism 2, a frame 3, a floating debris collection net box 4, levers 5, and a transverse movement mechanism 6. The water tank 1 and the crushing mechanism 2 are both placed on the ground. The crushing mechanism 2 is located above the middle part of the water tank 1. The frame 3 is located above the water tank 1. The floating debris collection net box 4 is fixed inside the frame 3. The floating debris collection net box 4 is inclined. Multiple levers 5 are fixed to the front side of the floating debris collection net box 4 inside the frame 3. A transverse movement mechanism 6 for moving the frame 3 is installed on the side of the water tank 1. In use, the... Scrap metal is added to the crushing mechanism 2 and crushed. The crushed metal falls into the water tank 1. Then, water is poured into the water tank 1. Plastic, rubber and other non-metallic debris in the scrap metal float to the water surface. Then, the transverse mechanism 6 is activated to move the frame 3. The frame 3 moves the floating debris collection box 4 and the lever 5. The lever 5 pushes the scrap metal, causing the non-metallic debris that was pressed down by the scrap metal to float up. The floating debris collection box 4 then collects the floating non-metallic debris. In addition, the lever 5 also disturbs the water flow when pushing the scrap metal to clean the metal, thereby removing the mud and impurities on the metal surface.

[0020] A drain pipe 101 is installed on one side of the water tank 1, and a valve 102 is installed on the drain pipe 101. After use, the valve 102 is opened to drain the wastewater.

[0021] The crushing mechanism 2 includes: a housing 201, crushing rollers 202, a first gear 203, a first motor 204, and a discharge port 205. Two crushing rollers 202 are rotatably connected inside the housing 201. Each crushing roller 202 is fixed with a first gear 203, and the two first gears 203 mesh with each other. The first motor 204 is fixed to the outside of the housing 201, and the output shaft of the first motor 204 is fixed to one of the crushing rollers 202. The discharge port 205 is provided at the bottom of the housing 201. In use, the first motor 204 drives the two crushing rollers 202 to rotate, and the two crushing rollers 202 cooperate to crush the material.

[0022] The transverse mechanism 6 includes: a slider 601, a slide rail 602, a second motor 603, a second gear 604, and a rack 605. Two sliders 601 are fixed to the bottom of the frame 3, and each slider 601 is slidably mounted on a slide rail 602. The slide rail 602 is fixed to the side of the water tank 1. The second motor 603 is fixed to the frame 3. A second gear 604 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 603. A rack 605 is provided on one side of the second gear 604 to mesh with it. The rack 605 is fixed to the outside of the water tank 1. In use, the second motor 603 drives the second gear 604 to rotate, and the second gear 604 and the rack 605 cooperate to make the frame 3 move along the slide rail 602.

[0023] The water tank 1 is equipped with a motor controller 7. The first motor 204 and the second motor 603 are electrically connected to the motor controller 7 for control purposes.

[0024] Working principle: When using this waste metal recycling and sorting equipment, the waste metal is added to the crushing mechanism 2 for crushing. The crushed metal falls into the water tank 1, and then the water tank 1 is filled with water. Plastic, rubber and other non-metallic debris in the waste metal float to the water surface. Then, the second motor 603 drives the second gear 604 to rotate. The second gear 604 cooperates with the rack 605 to make the frame 3 move along the slide rail 602. The frame 3 drives the floating debris collection box 4 and the lever 5 to move. The lever 5 pushes the waste metal, causing the non-metallic debris pressed by the waste metal to float up. The floating debris collection box 4 then collects the floating non-metallic debris. In addition, the push of the waste metal by the lever 5 also disturbs the water flow to clean the metal, thereby removing the mud and impurities on the metal surface.
