AI Technical Summary
In traditional brine separators, when separating sinking and floating plastics, floating plastics tend to remain inside the auger, resulting in a low separation rate, especially when there is a large amount of material, making effective separation difficult.
The system employs a pusher assembly and a feeder mechanism. The pusher assembly pushes the submerged plastic to the discharge hopper, while the feeder mechanism automatically floats the floating plastic to the surface and into the transport mechanism. The plastic is then separated after being washed with salt water, thus preventing the floating and submerged plastics from merging.
This improves the separation rate of sinking and floating plastics, ensures that floating plastics do not enter the discharge hopper, and achieves complete separation of sinking and floating plastics.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid waste cleaning technology, and in particular to a novel brine separation tank sorting and separation device. Background Technology
[0002] In the solid waste disposal industry, some floating plastics are filled with talc powder, which turns them into sinking plastics. However, their actual value is lower than that of sinking plastics. Therefore, during the cleaning process, salt water is needed to separate the high-value sinking plastics from the floating plastics with added talc powder.
[0003] The traditional method involves adding a certain concentration of brine to the sinking and floating tank. The bottom auger scoops up the plastic that has sunk to the bottom, while the top rake moves the floating plastic to the top discharge port. However, in this traditional operation, the plastic stays in the tank for a short time. Also, when there is a lot of material, the bottom auger does not easily stir the floating plastic with added talcum powder to the surface. The floating plastic will remain in the auger's conveying cylinder and cannot float above the separation tank. Therefore, the floating plastic is carried out at a high rate. Utility Model Content

After washing, the floating plastic automatically floats to the surface, further separating the sinking plastic from the floating plastic with added talc. Furthermore, the device completely separates the transport of sinking and floating plastics, effectively preventing them from merging during separation and causing the floating plastic to follow the sinking plastic into the first discharge hopper 3, thus further improving the separation rate of the device.

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model proposes a novel brine separation tank for sorting and separating equipment, including a separation tank 1, a support frame 2 at the outer end of the separation tank 1, a first discharge hopper 3 at one end of the separation tank 1, a pushing mechanism for driving the sediment to move along the inner wall of the separation tank 1 facing the first discharge hopper 3 on the inner wall of the separation tank 1, the pushing end of the pushing mechanism being movable into the first discharge hopper 3, a material-pulling mechanism at the upper end of the separation tank 1, and a transport mechanism for transporting floating material at the other end of the separation tank 1, the transport mechanism being located at the end of the separation tank 1 away from the first discharge hopper 3, and an isolation plate at the upper end of the separation tank 1, the isolation plate being located between the first discharge hopper 3 and the material-pulling mechanism.
[0026] In this invention, when the device is needed, the plastic to be cleaned is placed in the separation tank 1, and the plastic in the separation tank 1 is cleaned with salt water, thereby separating the sinking plastic and the floating plastic. The sinking plastic is located at the bottom of the separation tank 1 and is transported by the pushing mechanism in conjunction with the inner wall of the separation tank 1, so that the sinking plastic moves to the first discharge hopper 3 under the push of the pushing mechanism to complete the discharge. The floating plastic is located at the top of the separation tank 1 and is moved to the transport mechanism by the feeding mechanism. The transport mechanism completes the transport of the floating plastic, and the isolation plate can effectively prevent the floating plastic from being moved. The plastic floats to the first discharge hopper 3, thus separating the floating and sinking plastics. During use, the device pushes the sinking plastics using a pusher assembly, while the floating plastics with added plasticizers are still washed with salt water during the pushing process. After washing, they automatically float to the surface, further separating the sinking and floating plastics. The device also completely separates the transport of sinking and floating plastics, effectively preventing them from merging during separation and causing the floating plastics to follow the sinking plastics into the first discharge hopper 3, thereby further improving the separation rate of the device.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the pushing mechanism includes a chain 6, which is mounted in the separation trough 1 via an installation assembly. The chain 6 is parallel to the inner wall of the separation trough 1 near the first discharge hopper 3 and the bottom wall of the separation trough 1. Multiple scrapers 7 are spaced apart on the chain 6. The separation trough 1 is provided with a rotating assembly for driving the chain 6 to rotate. The installation assembly can effectively mount the chain 6 and allow it to be mounted according to the shape of the inner wall of the separation trough 1. Thus, the movement of the chain 6 will drive the scrapers 7 to move, thereby cooperating with the inner wall of the separation trough 1 to drive the submerged plastic on the bottom wall of the separation trough 1. During the driving process, the submerged plastic is always supported by the inner wall of the separation trough 1, thereby cooperating with the scrapers 7 to drive the plastic until it moves into the first discharge hopper 3.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, there are two chains 6, which are spaced apart. The scraper 7 is horizontally arranged and connected to the two chains 6 respectively. The two chains 6 are connected by the scraper 7, which makes the movement of the scraper 7 more stable.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a first mounting shaft 4, a sprocket 5, and a second mounting shaft 8. The first mounting shaft 4 is disposed at the upper end of the separation groove 1 and rotatably connected to the upper end of the separation groove 1. The sprocket 5 is coaxially mounted on the first mounting shaft 4 and meshes with the chain 6. Two second mounting shafts 8 are spaced apart within the separation groove 1. Each of the second mounting shafts 8 is coaxially rotatably mounted with a roller 9, which slides in contact with the chain 6. The separation groove 1 is provided with a limiting unit for limiting the chain 6. The first mounting shaft 4 is connected to the drive mechanism. The chain 6 can be effectively mounted through the sprocket 5 and the roller 9. Furthermore, the shape of the chain 6 can be limited by the action of multiple rollers 9, thereby causing the scraper 7 on the chain 6 to move along the trajectory, thus cooperating with the inner wall of the separation groove 1 to drive the submerged plastic.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the limiting unit includes limiting blocks 12, with two limiting blocks 12 spaced apart within the separation groove 1. The limiting blocks 12 are located between the chains 6, and their two ends are respectively parallel to the bottom wall of the separation groove 1 and the inner wall near the first discharge hopper 3. The limiting blocks 12 are connected to the inner wall of the separation groove 1 via mounting blocks. The scraper 7 is movable to slide against the limiting blocks 12. Since the limiting blocks 12 are connected to the inner wall of the separation groove 1 via mounting blocks, the scraper 7, which hangs downward with the chain 6 due to gravity, can be supported during the operation of the chain 6 by the action of the limiting blocks 12, thereby limiting the position of the scraper 7 and effectively limiting the chain 6.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a first motor 10, which is connected to the outer end of the separation groove 1 and is connected to the first mounting shaft 4 via a transmission connection. The first motor 10 can effectively drive the first mounting shaft 4 to rotate.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, a speed reducer 11 is further included. The speed reducer 11 is connected to the outer end of the separation groove 1. The output shaft of the first motor 10 is coaxially connected to the input end of the speed reducer 11. One end of the first mounting shaft 4 passes through the separation groove 1 and is coaxially connected to the output end of the speed reducer 11. The speed reducer 11 can effectively drive the output shaft of the first motor 10 and the first mounting shaft 4, and can reduce the speed of the first mounting shaft 4 during the rotation of the first mounting shaft 4 driven by the first motor 10, thereby making the device operate stably.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a second motor 14 and rotating rollers 20. Multiple rotating rollers 20 are spaced apart at the upper end of the separation trough 1. Multiple feeding plates 13 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer periphery of each rotating roller 20. Multiple first through holes are provided on the end face of the separation trough 1 for the rotating rollers 20 to extend out. The rotating rollers 20 extend out of the first through holes and are rotatably connected to the separation trough 1. The second motor 14 is connected to the outer end of the separation trough 1, and the output shaft of the second motor 14 is drively connected to the rotating rollers 20. At least one rotating roller 20 is located above the conveying mechanism. The second motor 14 drives the rotating roller 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple feeding plates 13 evenly distributed circumferentially on its outer periphery to rotate. During rotation, the multiple feeding plates 13 move the floating plastic above the water surface in the separation trough 1, thereby allowing it to enter the conveying mechanism for transport.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a conveying cylinder 15, with a first opening at the end of the separation trough 1 away from the first discharge hopper 3. The conveying cylinder 15 is inclined, and a support rod 17 is provided on the conveying cylinder 15. The bottom end of the conveying cylinder 15 is located inside the first opening and is sealed to the inner wall of the first opening. A feed inlet is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the conveying cylinder 15, located inside the separation trough 1. At least one rotating roller 20 is located above the feed inlet. An auger 16 is rotatably provided inside the conveying cylinder 15, and a tool is provided at the outer end of the conveying cylinder 15. The third motor 18 drives the auger 16 to rotate. The top of the feeding cylinder 15 is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge port is provided with a second discharge hopper 19. The auger 16 is driven to rotate by the third motor 18. The rotation of the auger 16 can convey the floating plastic driven into the feeding cylinder 15 by the feeding plate 13 upward to the top of the feeding cylinder 15, so as to discharge through the second discharge hopper 19. The third motor 18 and the auger 16 are connected by a belt drive. The output shaft of the third motor 18 is provided with a pulley. The output shaft of the auger 16 extends out of the feeding cylinder 15 and is coaxially provided with a pulley. The two pulleys are connected by a belt drive.
