Abstract
Description
A waste collection device for manufacturing deformable metal materials. Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal waste collection technology, specifically a waste collection device for manufacturing metal materials that prevents deformation. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern metal materials manufacturing industry, with the continuous expansion of production scale and the continuous improvement of production efficiency, the amount of waste generated is increasing day by day. This waste includes metal scraps, offcuts, and scrapped parts. If it is not effectively collected and treated, it will not only occupy a lot of production space, but also cause environmental pollution and waste of resources.
[0003] Currently, most enterprises still use traditional and crude waste collection methods in the metal material manufacturing process, mainly using ordinary waste bins or waste cylinders to collect waste. However, such collection containers have significant drawbacks in actual use: when blocky waste metal materials are put into a bin with a certain depth, the metal material will have a strong impact on the bottom of the bin due to the acceleration of gravity. Long-term high-frequency impacts can easily cause structural deformation of the bottom or side walls of the waste bin, affecting the service life of the waste bin. Therefore, a deformation-resistant waste collection device for metal material manufacturing is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a waste collection device for manufacturing metal materials that prevents deformation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waste collection device for manufacturing deformable metal materials, comprising a waste bin, and further comprising:
[0006] A lifting structure, installed on the scrap bin, is used to limit the descent distance of the metal scrap;
[0007] The lifting structure includes a first chute located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the waste bin. A drive motor is installed on one side of the waste bin, and a rotating shaft is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor. A hopper is fitted on the top of the waste bin, and a second chute is opened inside the hopper. A fixed shaft is fixed inside the second chute, and a scissor-type lifting frame is fitted on the outer surface of the fixed shaft.
[0008] As described above, the bottom end of the hopper is fixed with several sets of fixed cylinders, the inside of the fixed cylinders is fitted with a movable shaft and a return spring, the top end of the return spring passes through the hopper and is fixed with a baffle, and a pressure sensor is fixed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the hopper.
[0009] As described above, the two ends of the top of the scissor lift are slidably connected to the second slide groove, and the two ends of the bottom of the scissor lift are slidably connected to the first slide groove.
[0010] As mentioned above, the outer surface of the rotating shaft is provided with two sections of thread, the two sections of thread are in opposite directions and are located at both ends of the rotating shaft respectively.
[0011] As mentioned above, the two ends of the bottom of the scissor lift are respectively located on two sections of thread, and the scissor lift is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft.
[0012] As mentioned above, the bottom surface of the baffle is bonded with rubber, and the baffle is in pressure contact with the pressure sensor.
[0013] As described above, the reset spring is elastically supported between the movable shaft and the fixed cylinder, and the baffle is slidably connected to the hopper.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this waste collection device for manufacturing deformable metal materials has the following advantages:
[0015] I. This utility model dynamically adjusts the height of the hopper using a scissor lift frame, which can flexibly shorten or increase the height difference between the falling metal scrap and the scrap bin, reducing the impact force generated by free fall. At the same time, the rubber layer on the bottom of the baffle and the return spring form an elastic buffer structure, which absorbs the impact energy through deformation when the scrap hits the hopper. The dual mechanism works together to significantly reduce the impact load of the scrap on the scrap bin and its internal structure, effectively preventing equipment deformation and damage, and extending the service life of the device.
[0016] Second, this utility model monitors the impact force of waste material in real time through a pressure sensor and feeds the data back to the control system. When the pressure exceeds the preset threshold, the drive motor is automatically triggered to adjust the height of the hopper, thereby achieving dynamic optimization of the buffering effect without manual intervention and improving the intelligence level of the equipment. In addition, the weight of waste material can be estimated through pressure data, providing a quantitative basis for waste material collection statistics, transportation scheduling and subsequent processing, enhancing the practicality of the device in metal material manufacturing scenarios and production management efficiency.

[0024] 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.
[0025] As shown in Figures 1-5, this utility model provides a waste collection device for manufacturing deformable metal materials, including a waste bin 1, and further comprising:
[0026] A lifting structure, which is installed on the scrap bin 1, is used to limit the descent distance of the metal scrap;
[0027] The lifting structure includes a first chute 2, which is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the waste bin 1. A drive motor 3 is installed on one side of the waste bin 1. A rotating shaft 4 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 3. A hopper 6 is fitted on the top of the waste bin 1. A second chute 7 is opened inside the hopper 6. A fixed shaft 8 is fixed inside the second chute 7. A scissor lift frame 5 is fitted on the outer surface of the fixed shaft 8.
[0028] After the drive motor 3 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. Utilizing the two oppositely oriented threads on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4, the bottom ends of the scissor lift frame 5, which is threaded to the rotating shaft 4, move in opposite directions. When the bottom ends of the scissor lift frame 5 approach each other, the scissor lift frame 5 unfolds, driving the hopper 6 to rise; when the bottom ends of the scissor lift frame 5 move away from each other, the scissor lift frame 5 retracts, pushing the hopper 6 to fall, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the hopper 6, adjusting the height of the metal scrap falling into the scrap bin 1, reducing the impact force caused by the height difference, and achieving the purpose of protecting the scrap bin 1 and preventing its deformation.
[0029] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, several sets of fixed cylinders 9 are fixed at the bottom of the hopper 6. The fixed cylinder 9 is fitted with a movable shaft 10 and a return spring 11. The top of the return spring 11 passes through the hopper 6 and is fixed with a baffle 12. A pressure sensor 13 is fixed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the hopper 6.
[0030] When scrap metal falls into hopper 6, it first impacts baffle 12. Baffle 12 moves downward under pressure, compressing return spring 11. The elastic force generated by return spring 11 can buffer the impact force of the scrap. At the same time, baffle 12 moves downward and comes into contact with pressure sensor 13. Pressure sensor 13 can monitor the pressure of scrap on baffle 12 in real time. When the pressure exceeds the preset value, it can control drive motor 3 to work, adjust the height of hopper 6, further optimize the buffering effect, and estimate the weight of scrap based on pressure data, which is convenient for subsequent processing.
[0031] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the two ends of the top of the scissor lift frame 5 are slidably connected to the second slide groove 7, and the two ends of the bottom of the scissor lift frame 5 are slidably connected to the first slide groove 2.
[0032] The first slide 2 and the second slide 7 provide guidance and limit for the movement of the scissor lift frame 5, ensuring that the scissor lift frame 5 slides stably during the lifting process and preventing deviation or jamming. This ensures that the hopper 6 can be lifted and lowered smoothly, making the operation of the entire device more reliable.
[0033] As shown in Figure 2, the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4 is provided with two threads, which are in opposite directions and are located at both ends of the rotating shaft 4.
[0034] By using two opposing threaded designs, the rotating shaft 4 can drive the bottom ends of the scissor lift frame 5, which is connected to it by threads, to move synchronously when the shaft rotates. This enables the scissor lift frame 5 to retract and extend. This structural design is simple and ingenious. By utilizing the threaded transmission principle, the lifting function of the hopper 6 is achieved with fewer parts, reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the device.
[0035] As shown in Figure 2, the two ends of the bottom of the scissor lift frame 5 are located on two sections of thread, and the scissor lift frame 5 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 4.
[0036] By connecting the scissor lift frame 5 to the rotating shaft 4 via a threaded connection, the rotational motion of the rotating shaft 4 is converted into the linear motion of the scissor lift frame 5, which in turn drives the hopper 6 to lift. This connection method has high transmission efficiency and can accurately control the lifting height of the hopper 6, meeting the adjustment requirements for the buffer height of waste collection under different working conditions.
[0037] As shown in Figure 3, the bottom surface of the baffle 12 is bonded with rubber, and the baffle 12 is in contact with the pressure sensor 13 by compression.
[0038] By bonding rubber to the bottom surface of the baffle 12, the good elasticity and buffering properties of the rubber are utilized to further enhance the baffle 12's ability to absorb the impact force of the waste material, reducing the direct impact of the waste material on the hopper 6 and its internal structure. At the same time, the rubber material can also reduce the noise generated when the waste material impacts. The baffle 12 is in squeezing contact with the pressure sensor 13, which can ensure that the pressure sensor 13 accurately obtains the pressure information of the waste material, providing reliable data support for subsequent control operations.
[0039] As shown in Figure 5, the reset spring 11 is elastically supported between the movable shaft 10 and the fixed cylinder 9, and the baffle 12 is slidably connected to the hopper 6.
[0040] The baffle 12 is elastically supported between the movable shaft 10 and the fixed cylinder 9 by the return spring 11. When the baffle 12 is subjected to the pressure of the waste material and moves down to compress the return spring 11, the return spring 11 can provide a restoring force when the impact force of the waste material disappears, pushing the baffle 12 to return to its original position so as to meet the impact of the waste material next time. The movable shaft 10 will generate frictional damping with the hopper 6 to prevent it from shaking when returning to its original position.
[0041] Working principle:
[0042] When the waste collection device for manufacturing anti-deformation metal materials is in operation, the metal waste is put into the hopper 6 and first impacts the baffle 12. The baffle 12 compresses the return spring 11 to buffer the impact force, while the pressure sensor 13 monitors the pressure. When the pressure exceeds the preset value, the drive motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The reverse threads at both ends cause the bottom ends of the scissor lift frame 5 to move along the first slide groove 2, realizing the retraction or expansion of the scissor lift frame 5, thereby driving the hopper 6 to descend or rise, adjusting the height of the waste falling into the waste box 1 to reduce the impact force. The first slide groove 2 and the second slide groove 7 guide and limit the scissor lift frame 5 to ensure stability. The threaded transmission precisely controls the lifting height. After the impact force disappears, the return spring 11 pushes the baffle 12 to reset. The pressure data can also be used to estimate the weight of the waste for subsequent processing.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
