Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental protection equipment technology, and in particular to a solvent residue collection device for food packaging materials. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of plastic food packaging, ink is one of the main sources of residual solvents in plastic films. Commonly used solvents in printing inks include toluene, ethyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, isopropanol, xylene, etc. These solvents may not completely evaporate during the printing process, thus remaining in the packaging materials. These solvents can produce odors, affecting the taste and flavor of food. Moreover, most solvents are toxic and carcinogenic. Long-term consumption of food containing high levels of solvent residues can harm consumers' health.
[0003] Currently, when dealing with residual solvents, packaging materials are typically heated to accelerate solvent evaporation. The evaporated solvent then needs to be filtered to prevent environmental pollution. During the waste gas treatment process, the filter screens need to be replaced frequently, which takes a long time and leads to extended downtime. To address these issues, we propose a solvent residue collection device for food packaging materials. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solvent residue collection device for food packaging materials to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A solvent residue collection device for food packaging materials includes an insulated shell, an air inlet pipe fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insulated shell, a fan installed on the inner wall of the air inlet pipe, multiple heating tubes fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the insulated shell, a hydraulic push rod fixedly connected to the upper surface of the insulated shell, a movable plate fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic push rod, a bearing embedded in the outer surface of the movable plate, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing, a turntable fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod, a servo motor fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable plate, the output end of the servo motor connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod, two connecting cylinders fixedly connected to the outer surface of the turntable, a first filter screen installed inside each connecting cylinder, and an air outlet pipe fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insulated shell.
[0007] In a further embodiment, a first elastic pad is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air outlet pipe, and a second elastic pad is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each connecting cylinder.
[0008] In a further embodiment, two positioning magnetic blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the turntable, and a Hall sensor is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the moving plate.
[0009] In a further embodiment, a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the insulation shell, and a thermometer is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the insulation shell.
[0010] In a further embodiment, two support frames are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insulation shell. The upper surface of each support frame and the upper surface of the insulation shell are jointly fixedly connected to two slide rails. A slider is slidably connected to the outer surface of each slide rail, and the outer surface of each slider is connected to the outer surface of the moving plate.
[0011] In a further embodiment, an isolation net is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the insulation shell, a protective net shell is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air inlet pipe, and a second filter screen is installed on the inner side wall of the air inlet pipe.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This device heats the air through a heating tube to accelerate solvent evaporation. A hydraulic push rod moves a moving plate to separate the connecting cylinder from the air outlet pipe. A servo motor drives the connecting rod and turntable to rotate. When the air outlet pipe aligns with another connecting cylinder, the hydraulic push rod causes the moving plate to retract, thus connecting the other connecting cylinder to the air outlet pipe. This reduces downtime, and the first filter is located in the outside, making it easy to replace. Attached Figure Description

Two connecting cylinders 10 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the turntable 25. Each connecting cylinder 10 has a first filter screen 11 installed inside. The outer surface of the insulation shell 1 is fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe 12. The moving plate 6 is moved by the hydraulic push rod 5, which can realize the connection and disconnection between the air outlet pipe 12 and the connecting cylinder 10. The connecting rod 7 and the turntable 25 are rotated by the servo motor 9, which can change the position of the connecting cylinder 10, making it convenient to replace the filter screen and shortening the downtime.
