Description

A waste material briquetting machine that facilitates loading and unloading. Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste processing equipment technology, specifically to a waste briquetting machine that facilitates loading and unloading. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of waste processing equipment technology, waste briquetting machines play a crucial role, compressing various types of waste into blocks to facilitate subsequent storage, transportation, and recycling. With the continuous expansion of industrial production scale, the amount of waste generated is increasing daily, placing increasingly stringent performance requirements on waste briquetting machines.

[0003] Traditional waste briquetting machines have several shortcomings in their loading and unloading processes. For example, a wire briquetting device with Chinese patent announcement number CN210940579U, while improving compaction to some extent by utilizing negative pressure, is cumbersome to discharge, requires a large power source, and manual handling by workers can easily lead to hand injuries, posing a safety hazard and reducing the safety of equipment use. Similarly, some existing waste briquetting machines on the market rely on manual removal of the compressed blocks after compression, or use a flip plate to throw the blocks out of the compression trough. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the workload of workers, but also easily leads to loose compressed blocks, affecting waste processing efficiency. Furthermore, during the feeding process, some waste may be exposed outside the compression trough, requiring manual pushing, which poses a significant safety risk. In addition, some briquetting machines lack effective protective measures during material transport, making it easy for material to fall; observing the material compaction is not convenient; and material accumulation and blockage in the hopper can also occur. These problems limit the working efficiency and user experience of waste briquetting machines, and there is an urgent need for a waste briquetting machine that can effectively solve the material loading and unloading problems and improve overall performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a waste briquetting machine that facilitates loading and unloading, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the cumbersome process of unloading, the need for a large power source, and the fact that manual handling of materials by workers can easily lead to hand injuries, posing safety hazards and reducing the safety of equipment use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a waste briquetting machine with convenient loading and unloading, including a compaction chamber, a hopper installed on the top of the compaction chamber, a feeding conveyor belt installed on one side of the hopper, a pushing component installed inside the compaction chamber, a discharge port provided at the bottom of one end of the compaction chamber, and a collection chamber provided at the bottom of the compaction chamber, with the discharge port communicating with the collection chamber.

[0006] The material pushing component includes a material pushing cylinder, which is fixedly installed at the other end of the compaction chamber, and a material pushing shaft is installed on the output shaft. A pressure plate is installed at the end of the material pushing shaft. The material pushing cylinder can push the pressure plate to move towards the discharge port. A baffle plate is installed on the top of the pressure plate. When the pressure plate extends, the baffle plate can block the lower end of the hopper.

[0007] This setup uses a conveyor belt to transport waste material to a hopper, which then enters a compaction chamber. Inside the compaction chamber, a pushing component compacts the waste material, which is then discharged through a discharge port to a lower collection chamber. This system utilizes the principles of gravity flow and mechanical pushing to achieve a complete waste material flow from inlet to outlet. The pushing cylinder uses compressed gas to drive the output shaft to extend and retract, moving the pushing shaft, pressure plate, and baffle plate. When the pressure plate retracts, the baffle plate moves away from the bottom of the hopper, allowing gravity to propel the material from the hopper into the compaction chamber. When the pressure plate extends, the baffle plate blocks the bottom of the hopper, preventing material from entering and achieving precise control over the feeding process.

[0008] Preferably, a discharge conveyor belt is horizontally installed on the bottom surface of the collection bin, and a discharge port is provided at one end of the collection bin.

[0009] This system features a motor-driven conveyor belt on the bottom of the collection bin, which horizontally transports the compressed material within the bin to the discharge port. Utilizing the continuous transmission principle of the conveyor belt, automatic material output is achieved.

[0010] Preferably, a scraper is installed on the top inner wall of the compaction chamber near the baffle plate to scrape off the material adhering to the surface of the baffle plate.

[0011] When the baffle moves with the pushing component, the scraper on the inner wall of the top of the compaction chamber uses its fixed position and shape to contact the surface of the baffle and scrape off the material attached to the baffle.

[0012] Preferably, the device also includes a feeding component, which includes a feeding cylinder disposed on the side wall of the compaction chamber and has a switch shaft mounted on its output shaft. The outer end of the switch shaft is connected to a switch baffle via a connecting rod. Both ends of the connecting rod are hinged to the switch shaft and the switch baffle. The switch baffle is located at the lower part of the feeding port and one end is hinged to the inner wall of the compaction chamber.

[0013] This setting features a feeding cylinder that uses gas pressure to drive the output shaft to extend and retract, which in turn moves the switch shaft. The switch shaft, via a connecting rod, causes the switch baffle to rotate around its hinge point with the inner wall of the compaction chamber. When feeding is required, the switch cylinder actuates, opening the feeding port; after feeding is complete, the feeding port closes, thus controlling the feeding process.

[0014] Preferably, protective baffles are provided on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt.

[0015] This feature involves installing protective baffles on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt. By utilizing their height and fixed position, they prevent materials from falling outwards due to inertia and vibration caused by the movement of the conveyor belt.

[0016] Preferably, an observation window is installed on the outer wall of the compaction chamber, and the observation window is made of transparent material.

[0017] The observation window is made of transparent and high-strength tempered glass and is installed on the outer wall of the compaction chamber. By utilizing the light transmittance of the glass, operators can directly observe the compaction of the material inside the compaction chamber.

[0018] Preferably, the outer wall of the hopper is equipped with a vibration motor, which can drive the hopper to vibrate at the top of the compaction chamber.

[0019] This setting features a vibration motor controlled by a timer to start and stop. When the motor is working, it generates vibration, which is transmitted to the inner wall of the hopper. This vibration loosens the material in the hopper, overcoming the friction and adhesion between the materials, and allowing it to smoothly enter the compaction chamber from the hopper.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] In this convenient waste briquetting machine, the design of the feeding conveyor belt and hopper realizes the automated conveying of materials, eliminating the need for manual feeding and reducing labor input; the pushing component drives the pressing plate and baffle plate through the pushing cylinder, precisely controlling the process of material entering the compaction chamber, avoiding material waste and accumulation; the discharging component, with its discharging cylinder, switch shaft and switch baffle working together, can quickly and stably discharge the briquetting material from the discharge port into the collection chamber. The entire loading and unloading process is smooth, greatly improving the working efficiency of the waste briquetting machine.

[0022] The protective baffles on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt effectively prevent materials from falling during the feeding process, avoiding safety hazards and environmental problems caused by material scattering; the discharge conveyor belt in the collection bin can automatically transport the briquette material to the discharge port, eliminating the need for manual entry into the collection bin to retrieve the material, thus reducing the risk of injury to workers; at the same time, this design avoids the operational dangers caused by manually pushing materials exposed outside the extrusion tank, ensuring the personal safety of operators in all aspects.

[0028] 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.

[0029] This utility model provides a waste material briquetting machine with convenient loading and unloading, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. It includes a compaction chamber 1, a hopper 4 mounted on the top of the compaction chamber 1, a feeding conveyor belt 3 mounted on one side of the hopper 4, a pushing component 5 installed inside the compaction chamber 1, a discharge port 11 at one end of the compaction chamber 1, and a collection chamber 2 at the bottom of the compaction chamber 1. The pushing component 5 compresses the material into briquettes, discharges them from the discharge port 11, and collects them in the collection chamber 2. The pushing component 5 includes a pushing cylinder 51, which is located at the other end inside the compaction chamber 1, and a pushing shaft 52 is mounted on its output shaft. A pressure plate 53 is mounted on the end of the pushing shaft 52. The pushing cylinder 51 can push the pressure plate 53 towards the discharge port 11. A baffle plate 54 is installed on the top of the pressure plate 53. When the pressure plate 53 retracts, the baffle plate 54 moves away from the lower end of the hopper 4 to allow material to enter. When the pressure plate 53 extends, the baffle plate 54 can block the lower end of the hopper 4 and stop the material from entering.

[0030] Waste material is conveyed to hopper 4 via feeding conveyor belt 3, and then, using gravity, it enters compaction chamber 1. Inside compaction chamber 1, pushing component 5 compacts the waste material, which is then discharged through discharge port 11 at one end of the compaction chamber 1 into collection chamber 2. The entire process is based on the principles of gravity flow and mechanical pushing, achieving a complete waste material flow from feeding to discharging. This automates the basic loading and unloading process of the waste briquetting machine, eliminating the need for frequent manual material handling, improving waste processing efficiency, reducing labor costs, and making the waste processing more orderly. Pushing cylinder 51 drives the output shaft to extend and retract via compressed gas, moving the pushing shaft 52, pressure plate 53, and baffle plate 54. When the pressure plate 53 retracts, the baffle plate 54 moves away from the lower end of the hopper 4, allowing gravity to force the material from the hopper 4 into the compaction chamber 1. When the pressure plate 53 extends, the baffle plate 54 blocks the lower end of the hopper 4, preventing material from entering and achieving precise control of the feed. This allows for precise control of the amount of material entering the compaction chamber 1, avoiding excessive or insufficient feeding that could affect the briquetting effect. Simultaneously, it effectively blocks material during the compaction process, ensuring compaction quality and improving the stability and consistency of the briquettes.

[0031] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, a discharge conveyor belt 21 is horizontally installed on the bottom surface of the collection bin 2. A discharge port 22 is located at one end of the collection bin 2. The two ends of the discharge conveyor belt 21 are located below the discharge port 11 and at the discharge port 22, respectively. Driven by a motor, the horizontally installed discharge conveyor belt 21 transports the compressed material in the collection bin 2 horizontally to the discharge port 22 at one end of the collection bin 2. Utilizing the continuous transmission principle of the conveyor belt, automatic material output is achieved. This further improves the automation level of material feeding, avoids manual material removal from the collection bin 2, reduces labor intensity, and ensures that the compressed material can be output from the equipment quickly and stably, improving overall work efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, a scraper is installed on the top inner wall of the compaction chamber 1 near the baffle plate 54. The scraper and the discharge port 11 are located on opposite sides of the hopper 4, respectively, and can scrape off the material adhering to the surface of the baffle plate 54 when the pressure plate 53 retracts. When the baffle plate 54 moves with the pushing component 5, the scraper installed on the top inner wall of the compaction chamber 1 near the baffle plate 54, using its fixed position and shape, contacts the surface of the baffle plate 54 and scrapes off the material adhering to the baffle plate 54. This prevents material residue from affecting the normal operation and sealing performance of the baffle plate 54, avoids residual material from interfering with the feeding control, ensures the stability and reliability of the feeding process of the briquetting machine, and reduces the probability of equipment failure.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, it also includes a feeding component 6, which includes a feeding cylinder 62. The feeding cylinder 62 is fixed to the outer wall of the compaction chamber 1 by a bracket 61, and a switch shaft 63 is installed on its output shaft. The outer end of the switch shaft 63 is connected to a switch baffle 64 via a connecting rod 65. The two ends of the connecting rod 65 are hinged to the switch shaft 63 and the switch baffle 64. The switch baffle 64 is located at the lower part of the feeding port 11, and one end is hinged to the inner wall of the compaction chamber 1. The feeding cylinder 62 drives the output shaft to extend and retract by gas pressure, which drives the switch shaft 63 to move. The outer end of the switch shaft 63 causes the switch baffle 64 to rotate around the hinge point with the inner wall of the compaction chamber 1 via the connecting rod 65. When feeding is required, the feeding cylinder 62 actuates to open the feeding port 11 located at the bottom of one end of the compaction chamber 1 using the switch baffle 64; after feeding is completed, the feeding port 11 is closed, thus realizing the control of the feeding process. It can accurately control the timing and speed of the discharge of briquette materials, ensuring smooth discharge of materials while preventing uncompacted materials from falling prematurely, improving the accuracy and stability of material feeding, and helping to maintain the neatness and order of materials in the collection bin 2.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, protective baffles 31 are installed on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 3. The height of the protective baffles 31 is not less than the maximum height of the material accumulation on the feeding conveyor belt 3, which is used to prevent the material from falling during the feeding process. The protective baffles 31 installed on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 3, by utilizing their height and fixed position, prevent the material from falling outward due to inertia, vibration, etc. generated by the movement of the feeding conveyor belt 3. This effectively prevents the material from scattering during the feeding process, avoids material waste and pollution to the working environment, and at the same time reduces the safety hazards caused by the falling material, ensuring the safety of the feeding process and the integrity of material transmission.

[0035] Furthermore, an observation window is installed on the outer wall of compaction chamber 1. This window is made of transparent, high-strength tempered glass, allowing operators to easily observe the compaction status of the material inside the chamber in real time. The observation window on the outer wall of compaction chamber 1, made of transparent, high-strength tempered glass, utilizes the light transmittance of the glass to allow operators to directly observe the compaction status of the material inside the chamber. This facilitates real-time monitoring of the material compaction status, timely detection of problems during the compaction process, such as uneven compaction or insufficient compaction force, and adjustment of equipment operating parameters based on the actual situation, thereby improving the quality of the briquettes and the controllability of equipment operation.

[0036] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, a vibration motor 41 is installed on the outer wall of the hopper 4, which can drive the hopper (4) to vibrate at the top of the compaction chamber 1. This is to prevent the material from accumulating and blocking in the hopper 4, and to ensure that the material enters the compaction chamber 1 smoothly. When the motor is working, it generates vibration and transmits the vibration to the inner wall of the hopper 4, causing the material in the hopper 4 to be loosened by the vibration, overcoming the friction and adhesion between the materials, and smoothly entering the compaction chamber 1 from the hopper 4. This effectively prevents the material from accumulating and blocking in the hopper 4, ensures the smooth conveying of the material, avoids equipment shutdown or poor feeding due to material blockage, improves the continuity and stability of equipment operation, and ensures that the waste briquetting machine can work efficiently.

[0037] In operation, the waste briquetting machine of this utility model, which facilitates loading and unloading, first transports the waste material via the loading conveyor belt 3. The protective baffles 31 on both sides of the loading conveyor belt 3, due to their height and fixed position, effectively prevent material from falling outwards due to inertia and vibration caused by the conveyor belt's movement, ensuring the integrity of material transport and the safety of the loading process. After being transported to one end of the loading conveyor belt 3, the waste material falls into the hopper 4 under gravity. When the vibrating motor 41 installed on the outer wall of the hopper 4 operates, the resulting vibration is transmitted to the inner wall of the hopper 4, loosening the material inside the hopper 4, overcoming friction and adhesion between materials, and ensuring that the material can smoothly and continuously enter the compaction chamber 1 from the hopper 4, avoiding accumulation and blockage.

[0038] Inside the compaction chamber 1, the pushing component 5 plays a crucial role. The pushing cylinder 51 in the pushing component 5 drives the output shaft to extend and retract via compressed gas, which in turn drives the pushing shaft 52, the pressure plate 53, and the baffle plate 54 to move. When the pressure plate 53 retracts, the baffle plate 54 moves away from the lower end of the hopper 4, allowing the material in the hopper 4 to enter the compaction chamber 1 under gravity. When the pressure plate 53 extends, the baffle plate 54 blocks the lower end of the hopper 4, preventing further material entry, thus achieving precise control over the amount of material entering the compaction chamber 1. During the compaction process, the pressure plate 53 continuously applies pressure to the waste material, gradually compressing it into blocks, ensuring the compaction quality and the stability and consistency of the compressed blocks. Meanwhile, the scraper installed on the inner wall of the top of the compaction chamber 1 near the baffle plate 54, when the baffle plate 54 moves, uses its fixed position and shape to contact the surface of the baffle plate 54, and scrapes off the material attached to the baffle plate 54 in time, preventing material residue from affecting the normal operation and sealing performance of the baffle plate 54, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the feed control.

[0039] After the waste material is compressed into blocks in the compaction chamber 1, the feeding component 6 begins to operate. The feeding cylinder 62 drives the output shaft to extend and retract via gas pressure, which in turn moves the switch shaft 63. The outer end of the switch shaft 63, through a connecting rod 65, causes the switch baffle 64 to rotate around the hinge point with the inner wall of the compaction chamber 1. When the feeding cylinder 62 is activated, the switch baffle 64 opens the feeding port 11 located at the bottom of one end of the compaction chamber 1. The compressed material is discharged from the feeding port 11 under the action of gravity and falls into the collection chamber 2 below. After feeding is completed, the feeding cylinder 62 is activated again, causing the switch baffle 64 to close the feeding port 11, preventing uncompacted material from falling prematurely, thus achieving precise control of the feeding process and ensuring the accuracy and stability of feeding.

[0040] The discharge conveyor belt 21, horizontally installed on the bottom surface of the collection bin 2, is driven by a motor to transport the briquette material in the collection bin 2 horizontally to the discharge port 22 at one end of the collection bin 2, realizing automatic material output. Operators can collect and further process the briquette material at the discharge port 22. The entire process does not require manual entry into the collection bin 2 to retrieve material, reducing labor intensity, improving work efficiency, and ensuring that the briquette material can be output from the equipment quickly and stably.

[0041] Throughout the operation, operators can also observe the compaction of the material inside the compaction chamber 1 in real time through the transparent and high-strength tempered glass observation window installed on the outer wall of the compaction chamber 1. They can promptly identify problems such as uneven material compaction or insufficient compaction strength, and adjust the equipment operating parameters according to the actual situation to ensure that the waste briquetting machine always maintains efficient and stable operation, thereby improving the quality of briquettes and the controllability of equipment operation.
