Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extrusion waste recycling technology, and in particular to a single-screw plastic recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] Single-screw extruders generate a small amount of waste during operation, such as transition material during start-up / shutdown, defective products, or scraps. Directly discarding this waste not only increases processing costs but also pollutes the environment. Recycling waste reduces raw material consumption and waste emissions, complies with environmental regulations, lowers production costs, and improves resource utilization.

[0003] Patent application number CN202420855796.8 discloses a plastic product recycling device, including an extruder body and a crusher body. The crusher body has crushing rollers inside, and extrusion components are located on both sides of the extruder body. Inside the extruder body within the extrusion components are extrusion blocks, each with cutting blades on its inner side. The extrusion components drive the extrusion blocks inward to extrude the plastic products. During extrusion, the plastic products are cut by the staggered cutting blades on the inner side of the extrusion blocks. The large-volume plastic products after extrusion and cutting are discharged through the discharge port and fall into the crushing rollers for further crushing, thus solving the problem of the difficulty in crushing and recycling large-volume plastic products. However, due to the large gaps between the crushed plastic fragments, these gaps affect the space occupied by the waste during subsequent storage and transportation, thereby increasing transportation costs and requiring further optimization.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes a single-screw plastic recycling device, including a crushing box 1. The upper end of the crushing box 1 is provided with two feeding ports 2, which are fixedly arranged on the left and right sides of the crushing box 1. The crushing box 1 is provided with a roller cutter structure for crushing plastic.

[0024] Waste plastic generated by a single-screw extruder can be fed into crushing chamber 1 through the feed port 2 at the top of crushing chamber 1. The roller cutter structure inside crushing chamber 1 will crush the plastic, thus facilitating subsequent processing. The two feed ports 2 can simultaneously receive waste materials from different sources, avoiding the blockage or queuing problems of a single feed port, and significantly improving crushing efficiency.

[0025] A compression cylinder 6 is provided at the lower end of the crushing box 1. The compression cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the crushing box 1. A discharge chute 9 is opened at the bottom of the compression cylinder 6. A cover 7 is provided outside the discharge chute 9. A first power mechanism for pushing the cover 7 to move horizontally is provided at the bottom of the crushing box 1.

[0026] A guide trough 13 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the crushing box 1. A push plate 12 is provided in the guide trough 13. The push plate 12 is slidably connected to the guide trough 13 and the inner wall of the compression cylinder 6. A second power mechanism for pushing the push plate 12 to move horizontally is provided at the bottom of the crushing box 1.

[0027] The crushed waste accumulates in the guide trough 13 at the bottom of the crushing box 1. When the guide trough 13 is full of waste, the waste feeding stops, and the second power mechanism pushes the push plate 12. The push plate 12 slides along the guide trough 13 and pushes the waste into the compression cylinder 6 to compress the waste. After the waste is compressed, the first power mechanism pushes the cover 7 to remove the cover 7 from the discharge trough 9 at the bottom of the compression cylinder 6. At this time, the compressed waste in the compression cylinder 6 can fall directly out through the discharge trough 9. The crushed plastic particles still have a lot of voids. After compression, the volume can be greatly reduced. More materials can be accommodated in the same storage space, reducing storage costs.

[0028] Regarding the roller cutter structure:

[0029] The roller cutter structure includes three sets of parallel crushing rollers 10, which are rotatably mounted inside the crushing chamber 1. Multiple teeth 11 are provided on the outer side of each crushing roller 10, with the teeth 11 on each roller staggered. A power assembly for controlling the rotation of the crushing rollers 10 is located on the outer side of the crushing chamber 1. The power assembly controls the rotation of the three sets of crushing rollers 10. During rotation, the crushing rollers 10 crush the plastic falling onto them through the teeth 11. The crushed waste material falls from below the crushing rollers 10 into the guide trough 13.

[0030] Specifically, the power assembly includes a transmission box 3 located outside the crushing chamber 1. The transmission box 3 contains three first gears 14 and one second gear 15. The second gear 15 is positioned between and meshes with the three first gears 14. Both the first gears 14 and the second gear 15 are rotatably connected to the transmission box 3. Each first gear 14 is fixedly connected to each crushing roller 10 via a connecting shaft. A motor 16 is located inside the transmission box 3, and the output end of the motor 16 is fixedly connected to the second gear 15. The transmission box 3 is fixedly located outside the crushing chamber 1, and the motor 16 is fixedly located inside the transmission box 3. The motor 16 controls the rotation of the second gear 15. During rotation, the second gear 15 meshes with the first gears 14, thereby driving each first gear 14 to rotate. The first gears 14, during rotation, fix the crushing rollers 10 to rotate synchronously via the connecting shaft, thus completing the crushing of the waste material.

[0031] Regarding the first and second power mechanisms:

[0032] The first power mechanism includes two sets of second hydraulic rods 8, which are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the crushing box 1. The output ends of the second hydraulic rods 8 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the cover 7. The second hydraulic rods 8 and the cover 7 are horizontally arranged. When the cover 7 is opened, it can be opened by pushing the cover 7 horizontally with the second hydraulic rods 8. The cover 7 will slide along the outer wall of the compression cylinder 6.

[0033] The second power mechanism includes a first hydraulic rod 5, which is fixedly mounted on the side of the crushing box 1 away from the compression cylinder 6. The output end of the first hydraulic rod 5 passes through the guide chute 13 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 12. The horizontal pushing of the push plate 12 is controlled by the first hydraulic rod 5, which will not be described in detail here.

[0034] It is worth explaining in detail that a support frame 4 is provided at the lower end of the crushing box 1, and the support frame 4 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the crushing box 1. The crushing box 1 is supported by the support frame 4.

[0035] In the preferred embodiment, the compression cylinder 6 has several ventilation holes 17 on the side away from the crushing box 1. The ventilation holes 17 serve to discharge compressed air from the compression cylinder 6 so that the push plate 12 can be pushed forward in the compression cylinder 6. The diameter of the ventilation holes 17 should be smaller than that of the waste debris. After long-term use, the ventilation holes 17 may still become clogged and need to be cleared by the user regularly.

[0036] How this application works:

[0037] Waste plastic generated by the single-screw extruder can be fed into the crushing box 1 through the feeding port 2 at the top of the crushing box 1. The roller cutter structure inside the crushing box 1 will crush the plastic. The crushed waste will accumulate in the guide trough 13 at the bottom of the crushing box 1. When the guide trough 13 is full of waste, the waste feeding will be stopped. Then, the second power mechanism will push the push plate 12. The push plate 12 will slide along the guide trough 13 and push the waste into the compression cylinder 6 to compress the waste. After the waste is compressed, the first power mechanism will push the cover 7 to remove the cover 7 from the discharge trough 9 at the bottom of the compression cylinder 6. At this time, the compressed waste in the compression cylinder 6 can be directly discharged through the discharge trough 9.
