Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of metal flotation devices, specifically a metal flotation device for recycling glass products. Background Technology
[0002] Glass products are a general term for daily necessities and industrial products made primarily from glass. Recycling glass products can be achieved through flotation machines, which are mechanical devices used to complete the flotation process. A flotation machine, also known as a flotation concentrator, is driven by an electric motor and belt to rotate an impeller. This generates centrifugal force, creating negative pressure. On one hand, it draws in sufficient air to mix with the slurry; on the other hand, it agitates the slurry and mixes it with reagents. Simultaneously, it refines the foam, causing minerals to adhere to the foam and float to the surface, forming mineralized foam. The height of the gate is then adjusted to control the liquid level, allowing the useful foam to be scraped off by a scraper.
[0003] However, during the current use of flotation equipment, a large amount of foam remains on the scraper. After the flotation equipment finishes working, a large amount of material that needs to be recycled will be attached to the scraper. Therefore, the scraper needs to be cleaned separately, which makes the processing efficiency of the equipment low. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a metal flotation device for glass product recycling, which solves the problem of low processing efficiency caused by the need for separate cleaning of the scraper.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A metal flotation device for recycling glass products includes an equipment shell, a support frame fixedly installed on the equipment shell, a rotating column rotatably installed on the support frame, four sets of symmetrical support columns fixedly installed on the rotating column, a fixed plate installed on the support column, two sets of cleaning devices for cleaning the fixed plate installed on the rotating column, and a driving device for driving the rotating column to rotate on the equipment shell.
[0007] Each set of cleaning devices includes a rotating rod rotatably mounted on a support column, a support rod rotatably connected to the rotating column fixedly mounted on the support frame, and a first helical tooth meshing with each other fixedly mounted on the support rod and the rotating rod, and a fixing rod fixedly mounted between the two sets of support columns.
[0008] Preferably, a reciprocating screw is rotatably installed between the two sets of support columns. The reciprocating screw and the rotating rod are fixedly installed with meshing helical teeth of type 2. A limiting block that is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw is slidably installed on the fixed rod. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the limiting block. A cleaning block is fixedly installed on the connecting rod.
[0009] Preferably, two sets of collection devices are installed on the fixed plate. Each collection device includes two sets of collection boxes inserted into the fixed plate. Each set of collection boxes has a limiting groove. Three sets of limiting rods are fixedly installed in the limiting groove. A spring is sleeved on the limiting rod. An inclined plate that is slidably connected to the limiting rod is slidably installed in the limiting groove. A filter screen is installed on the collection box.
[0010] Preferably, the cleaning block has two sets of symmetrical inclined grooves, and each set of inclined grooves has a groove.
[0011] Preferably, the driving device includes a motor fixedly mounted on the equipment housing, a drive wheel fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor, a drive belt sleeved on the drive wheel, a pulley fixedly mounted on the rotating column, and the pulley and the drive wheel are connected by a drive belt.
[0012] Preferably, the device housing has a processing groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the cleaning device, uses a rotating column to rotate on the support rod, and a reciprocating screw to rotate within the limiting block. Under the action of the fixed rod, the limiting block reciprocates on the fixed rod. The movement of the limiting block drives the cleaning block connected to the connecting rod to move. The cleaning block cleans the foam on the fixed plate, avoiding the need to clean the scraper separately, which would reduce the processing efficiency of the equipment.
[0015] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the collection device, allows foam and materials on the fixed plate to enter the groove under the action of the inclined groove when the cleaning block moves. When the cleaning block moves to one side of the fixed plate, the cleaning block pushes the inclined plate into the limiting groove under the action of the inclined groove. Under the rotation of the fixed plate, the material in the groove enters the collection box. Pulling out the collection box allows the material to be recycled, avoiding the situation where the material cleaned off the fixed plate will re-enter the processing tank and affect the recovery rate of the flotation device.

[0022] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment proposes a metal flotation device for glass product recycling. By setting up a cleaning device 3, the problem of low processing efficiency caused by the need to clean the scraper separately is solved. The device includes a housing 1 with a processing groove 6. A support frame 2 is fixedly installed on the housing 1. A rotating column 21 is rotatably installed on the support frame 2. Four sets of symmetrical support columns 22 are fixedly installed on the rotating column 21. A fixed plate 23 is installed on the support column 22. Two sets of cleaning devices 3 for cleaning the fixed plate 23 are installed on the rotating column 21. A drive device 5 for driving the rotating column 21 to rotate is installed on the housing 1. The fixed plate 23 can be cleaned separately by the cleaning device 3, which improves the working efficiency of the equipment.
[0025] Each cleaning device 3 includes a rotating rod 32 rotatably mounted on a support column 22. A support rod 31 rotatably connected to the rotating column 21 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 2. First helical teeth 33 meshing with each other are fixedly mounted on the support rod 31 and the rotating rod 32. A fixing rod 34 is fixedly mounted between the two sets of support columns 22 to make the movement of the limiting block 37 more stable. A reciprocating screw 35 is rotatably mounted between the two sets of support columns 22. Second helical teeth 36 meshing with each other are fixedly mounted on the reciprocating screw 35 and the rotating rod 32. A limiting block 37 threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 35 is slidably mounted on the fixing rod 34. A connecting rod 38 is fixedly mounted on the limiting block 37. A cleaning device is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 38. Cleaning block 39 is tightly attached to the surface of fixed plate 23. When rotating column 21 rotates on support rod 31, under the action of first helical tooth 33, rotating column 21 rotates and drives rotating rod 32 connected to first helical tooth 33 to rotate in support column 22. Under the action of second helical tooth 36, rotating rod 32 rotates and drives reciprocating screw 35 to rotate in limit block 37. Under the action of fixed rod 34, limit block 37 reciprocates on fixed rod 34. The movement of limit block 37 drives cleaning block 39 connected to connecting rod 38 to move. The cleaning block 39 cleans the foam on fixed plate 23, avoiding the need to clean scraper separately, which would reduce the processing efficiency of the equipment.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Based on Embodiment 1, the technical solution proposed in Embodiment 1 is used to solve the problem that the equipment has low processing efficiency due to the need to clean the scraper separately. Since the material cleaned off during the cleaning of the fixed plate will re-enter the processing tank, it will affect the recovery rate of the flotation device.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4Two sets of collection devices 4 are installed on the fixed plate 23. The collection device 4 includes two sets of collection boxes 41 inserted into the fixed plate 23. Each set of collection boxes 41 has a limit groove 42. Three sets of limit rods 43 are fixedly installed in the limit groove 42. Springs 44 are sleeved on the limit rods 43 so that the inclined plate 45 can quickly return to its original position. The inclined plate 45, which is slidably connected to the limit rods 43, is slidably installed in the limit groove 42 to block the opening of the collection box 41. A filter screen 46 is installed on the collection box 41 for filtering the mixed liquid. Two sets of symmetrical inclined grooves 47 are opened on the cleaning block 39. The inclined chute 47 is provided with grooves 48. When the cleaning block 39 moves, the foam and material on the fixed plate 23 enter the grooves 48 under the action of the inclined chute 47. When the cleaning block 39 moves to one side of the fixed plate 23, the cleaning block 39 pushes the inclined plate 45 into the limiting groove 42 under the action of the inclined chute 47. The opening of the collection box 41 is opened. Under the rotation of the fixed plate 23, the material in the grooves 48 enters the collection box 41. The material can be recovered by pulling out the collection box 41, which avoids the material cleaned off the fixed plate 23 from re-entering the processing tank 6 and affecting the recovery rate of the flotation device.
[0029] The drive device 5 includes a motor 51 fixedly mounted on the equipment housing 1. A drive wheel 52 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 51. A drive belt 53 is sleeved on the drive wheel 52. A pulley 54 is fixedly mounted on the rotating column 21. The pulley 54 and the drive wheel 52 are connected by the drive belt 53. When the motor 51 is started, the drive wheel 52 is driven to rotate. Under the action of the drive belt 53, the drive wheel 52 rotates and drives the rotating column 21 fixedly connected to the pulley 54 to rotate.
