Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal recycling technology, and in particular to a waste metal recycling and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In metal recycling, ultrasonic cleaning technology is often used to remove oil and oxides from the surfaces of materials such as automotive parts and scrap iron. However, after cleaning, due to the differences in shape, some surfaces of metal parts will have recessed areas. When removed through a filter rack, these recessed areas will retain cleaning fluid. Residual liquid will significantly reduce the efficiency of subsequent drying processes, prolonging processing time and increasing energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where residual liquid significantly reduces the efficiency of subsequent drying processes, and to propose a waste metal recycling and cleaning device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A waste metal recycling and cleaning device includes an ultrasonic cleaner and a drum. The surface of the drum has multiple holes, and connecting shafts are fixedly installed on both sides of the drum. One end of the connecting shaft has a polygonal groove.

[0006] The mounting bracket is provided with a limit rod and a rotatable threaded rod inside the ultrasonic cleaner. The mounting bracket is threaded onto the outer wall of the threaded rod and slidably mounted on the outer wall of the limit rod.

[0007] The connecting mechanism includes a first polygonal block, a second polygonal block, and two rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the mounting frame. The first polygonal block is fixedly disposed at one end of one of the rotating shafts, and the second polygonal block is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the other rotating shaft, with the polygonal groove cooperating with the corresponding polygonal block.

[0008] Once the cleaning process is complete, the drum is driven to rotate to discharge any remaining cleaning solution.

[0009] In one possible design, the connecting mechanism further includes two support seats located below polygonal block one and polygonal block two, respectively, and the support seats are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame via a connecting bracket.

[0010] In one possible design, the connecting mechanism further includes a limiting plate, which is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the ultrasonic cleaner. One end of the second polygonal block is fixedly connected to a dial ring, and the limiting plate is used to limit the axial displacement of the dial ring.

[0011] In one possible design, a second motor is also included, which is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting bracket, and the output shaft of the second motor and one of the rotating shafts are connected by a sprocket and a chain drive.

[0012] In one possible design, a primary motor is also included, which is fixedly mounted on one side of the ultrasonic cleaner, and the output shaft and threaded rod of the primary motor are connected by meshing gears.

[0013] In one possible design, a baffle is also included, which is hinged to the roller and has multiple perforations on its surface. The baffle and the roller are locked together by a latch.

[0014] In one possible design, the drain holes are evenly distributed on the surfaces of the roller and the baffle for draining cleaning fluid.

[0015] In this application, during actual use, a roller containing scrap metal is placed in two support seats via connecting shafts on both sides. The roller is then slid to one side, aligning its polygonal groove with a first polygonal block on one side. Next, a second polygonal block on the other side is moved and aligned with its corresponding polygonal groove before being inserted. Then, a first motor is driven, which, through meshing gears, rotates a threaded rod, driving the mounting bracket and roller downwards into the ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning. At this time, the deflector ring is positioned on one side of the limit plate, preventing the second polygonal block from shifting, thus ensuring the roller's stability. After cleaning, the first motor is driven in reverse. When the machine drives the drum upward, first detach the drum from the ultrasonic cleaner, but the deflector on one side remains on the side of the limiting plate. At this point, the second motor can be driven, which drives the first polygonal block to rotate through the sprocket and chain. The first polygonal block drives the drum to rotate through the connecting shaft sleeved on the outer wall, thereby causing the internal metal to tumble and quickly expelling the cleaning fluid remaining in the metal. Then, drive the drum upward again to move it out of the limiting plate's range. At this point, the deflector can be moved to one side to disengage the second polygonal block from the polygonal groove. Then, move the drum to one side to disengage the other side from the first polygonal block, thereby releasing the drum from its fixation and allowing it to be replaced in the next batch.

[0016] In this utility model, the waste metal recycling and cleaning device can achieve the lifting and rotating of the drum and the function of draining liquid through the coordinated drive of two motors, thereby realizing the mutual conversion between the cleaning and draining processes.

[0017] In this utility model, the waste metal recycling and cleaning device can achieve the disassembly and assembly of the drum itself and the connection with the drive through the connecting mechanism, thereby realizing its rapid installation and disassembly and ensuring efficiency in practice.

[0018] In this invention, the drum used to hold waste metal can be rotated during use, thereby causing the internal metal to tumble and quickly discharge the cleaning liquid remaining inside, improving the efficiency of the subsequent drying process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] In one embodiment: Reference Figure 1-4 A recycling and cleaning device includes: an ultrasonic cleaner 1, which can be a conventional single-tank cleaner; and a cylindrical mesh cage-like drum 2, with perforations 22 evenly distributed on the surface of its body and hinged baffles 8. Connecting shafts 21 are welded to both ends of the drum 2, and polygonal grooves 20 are formed at the ends of the connecting shafts 21. Rotating shafts 11 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of a mounting frame 3 via bearings. A first polygonal block 15 is welded to the end of the left rotating shaft 11, and a second polygonal block 18 is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the right rotating shaft 11. Both of these shapes interlock with the hexagonal grooves 20.

[0027] One end of the second polygonal block 18 is fixedly equipped with a dial ring 17 to facilitate manual movement by staff.

[0028] The connecting mechanism includes: support seats 14 welded to the inner walls of both sides of the mounting frame 3 via the connecting frame 13. The top surface of the support seat 14 is arc-shaped and is used to support the connecting shaft 21.

[0029] The bottom wall of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 is fixed with a limiting plate 16 to limit the position of the dial ring 17, so that it can only move after it leaves the range of the limiting plate 16, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire device during use.

[0030] The second motor 9 is fixed to the outer left side of the mounting frame 3 by a support. Its output shaft is connected to the left rotating shaft 11 by a sprocket 12 and a chain 10, thereby realizing the rotation of the drum 2, which drives the internal metal to tumble and separate the residual liquid.

[0031] One side of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 is fixed with a No. 1 motor 7 via a support. The bottom wall of the ultrasonic cleaner 1 is fixed with a limit rod 4 and a threaded rod 5. The outer wall of the output shaft of the No. 1 motor 7 and the outer wall of the threaded rod 5 are both fixed with meshing gears 6, forming a vertical lifting mechanism.

[0032] In actual work:

[0033] Loading stage: Place the connecting shafts 21 at both ends of the roller 2 into the arc grooves of the support base 14, then push the roller 2 axially so that the left connecting shaft 21 is sleeved on the first polygonal block 15, and then manually slide the second polygonal block 18 into the right hexagonal groove 20.

[0034] Cleaning stage: Start motor 7, drive threaded rod 5 to rotate through gear transmission, drive mounting bracket 3 to descend vertically, immerse roller 2 in the cleaning fluid of ultrasonic cleaner 1. At this time, limit plate 16 restricts the axial displacement of dial ring 17 to prevent roller 2 from moving. The ultrasonic generator of the cleaner converts electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration, which is transmitted to the cleaning fluid through transducer, causing the liquid to generate several tiny bubbles and break, thereby generating strong micro-jet and shock wave, which quickly peels off and disperses dirt, grease, oxides and other impurities attached to the metal surface into the cleaning fluid.

[0035] Drainage stage: After cleaning, the mounting bracket 3 is lifted to remove the roller 2 from the liquid surface, but the dial ring 17 is kept in the limit position. The second motor 9 is started to drive the roller 2 to rotate through chain drive, thereby causing the internal metal to tumble, so that the cleaning liquid remaining inside is discharged.

[0036] Unloading stage: Continue to lift the mounting bracket 3 until the dial ring 17 disengages from the limit plate 16, pull out the second polygonal block 18 to release the right-side connection, and push the roller 2 in the opposite direction to disengage from the first polygonal block 15. At this time, the roller 2 can be released from its fixation and can be disassembled to replace the next batch of rollers 2 containing scrap metal.

[0037] This application can be used in the field of metal recycling, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0038] In another embodiment: Reference Figure 4 A waste metal recycling and cleaning device is applied to the field of metal recycling. The roller 2 and the hinged baffle 8 can be opened and locked by the existing latch 19, which facilitates its opening and closing operation.

[0039] Further reference Figure 5 By adding an external protective shell, the motor can be protected, thereby increasing its service life. The sprocket 12 and chain 10 can be made of 304 stainless steel, or a protective shell can be added separately. The threaded rod 5 can be made of stainless steel, and the surface can be respectively provided with an electrophoretic zinc-nickel alloy plating, an epoxy zinc-rich primer, and a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.

[0040] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of motors and ultrasonic cleaners are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge, so they will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0041] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
