[0032] Example 1:
[0033] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a primary crushing device for PCB copper powder recycling, including a crushing cylinder 1, a feed shell 2 for feeding is installed through the top of the crushing cylinder 1, a discharge port 3 for discharging is opened at the bottom of one side of the crushing cylinder 1, and crushing mechanisms 4 for crushing are provided inside and outside the crushing cylinder 1.
[0034] The crushing mechanism 4 includes two crushing rods 41 rotatably mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the crushing cylinder 1, and crushing rollers 42 are mounted on the surface of both crushing rods 41. A drive motor 43 is mounted on the top of one side of the crushing cylinder 1, and the output end of the drive motor 43 passes through the crushing cylinder 1 and is fixedly connected to one of the crushing rods 41.
[0035] The crushing cylinder 1 is equipped with a crushing assembly 44 for further crushing the crushed PCB copper board.
[0036] The crushing assembly 44 includes a crushing cylinder 441 fixedly installed inside the crushing cylinder 1. The crushing cylinder 441 is divided into upper and lower parts. A fixing plate 442 is fixedly installed on the surface of the lower crushing cylinder 441, and the outer wall of the fixing plate 442 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 1. A crushing block 443 is installed inside the crushing cylinder 441. A crushing chamber 444 is separated between the crushing cylinder 441 and the crushing block 443, and the top of the crushing chamber 444 is set as an arc-shaped surface 445. A vertical rod 446 is installed through the inside of the crushing block 443, and the bottom end of the vertical rod 446 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the crushing cylinder 1. A crossbar 447 is installed through the bottom of the crusher; one end of a crushing rod 41 passes through the crushing cylinder 1 and extends to the outside of the crushing cylinder 1; a driven bevel gear 448 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the surface of the vertical rod 446; a driving bevel gear 449 is fixedly installed on the end of the crossbar 447 located inside the crushing cylinder 1, and the driven bevel gear 448 and the driving bevel gear 449 are meshed; a pulley 4401 is fixedly installed on the end of the crossbar 447 and the end of the crushing rod 41 located outside the crushing cylinder 1; a transmission belt 4402 is wound around the surface of the pulley 4401, and the two pulleys 4401 are connected by the transmission belt 4402.
[0037] In this embodiment, when the waste PCB board is crushed, the drive motor 43 drives the crushing rod 41 and the crushing roller 42 to rotate, which initially crushes the PCB board. The crushed PCB board is then guided by the crushing block 443 and the crushing cylinder 441 into the crushing chamber 444. While the crushing rod 41 is rotating, it drives the crossbar 447 to rotate synchronously through the transmission connection of the pulley 4401 and the transmission belt 4402. Then, the meshing connection of the driving bevel gear 449 and the driven bevel gear 448 drives the crushing block 443 to rotate synchronously, which crushes the PCB board that has entered the crushing chamber 444 again. This allows the waste PCB board to be crushed evenly and avoids the advantage of secondary crushing.

[0041] A control panel 5 is mounted on the front surface of the crushing drum 1. The electrical output terminal of the control panel 5 is connected to the electrical input terminal of the drive motor 43.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment takes into account that although Embodiment 1 can uniformly crush the PCB board to ensure the uniformity of PCB board crushing, in actual use, the fixed-design crushing block 443 is prone to jamming when the PCB board enters the crushing chamber 444. Therefore, this embodiment uses the following structure to further improve the uniformity of PCB board crushing while avoiding jamming.
[0044] The top of the fixed plate 442 is provided with an annular groove 4403, and wedge blocks 4404 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the annular groove 4403; a leak-proof ring 4405 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 441, and a fixing rod 4406 is installed through both sides of the top of the leak-proof ring 4405. The top ends of the two fixing rods 4406 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing block 443, and the bottom ends of the two fixing rods 4406 penetrate the crushing cylinder 441 and extend into the interior of the annular groove 4403. A slider 4407 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing rod 4406 inside the annular groove 4403.
[0045] In this embodiment, while the crushing block 443 rotates to crush the PCB board, the crushing block 443 simultaneously drives the fixed rod 4406 and the slider 4407 to rotate. Utilizing the shape design of the wedge block 4404, the crushing block 443 moves up and down during rotation through the sliding between the slider 4407 and the wedge block 4404, impacting the PCB board inside the crushing chamber 444. This further improves the uniformity of PCB board crushing and greatly enhances crushing efficiency.
[0046] Four sliding grooves are provided at the penetration point between the crushing block 443 and the vertical rod 446, and a limiting strip 4408 is fixedly installed on the surface of the vertical rod 446 inside the crushing block 443. The crushing block 443 is slidably connected to the limiting strip 4408 through the sliding grooves.
[0047] In this embodiment, the stability of the crushing block 443 during rotation can be further maintained while the crushing block 443 moves up and down.
[0048] Working principle: When crushing waste PCB boards, the drive motor 43 drives the crushing rod 41 and crushing roller 42 to rotate, which initially crushes the PCB boards. The crushed boards are then guided by the crushing block 443 and the crushing cylinder 441 into the crushing chamber 444. While the crushing rod 41 is rotating, it drives the crossbar 447 to rotate synchronously through the transmission connection of the pulley 4401 and the transmission belt 4402. Then, the meshing connection of the active bevel gear 449 and the driven bevel gear 448 synchronously drives the crushing block 443 to rotate, which further crushes the PCB boards that have entered the crushing chamber 444.
[0049] Furthermore, while the crushing block 443 rotates to crush the PCB board, the crushing block 443 simultaneously drives the fixed rod 4406 and the slider 4407 to rotate. Utilizing the shape design of the wedge block 4404, the crushing block 443 moves up and down during rotation through the sliding between the slider 4407 and the wedge block 4404, impacting the PCB board inside the crushing chamber 444 to further improve the uniformity of PCB board crushing.
