Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste cleaning equipment, specifically to an automatic cleaning device for waste copper recycling. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of scrap copper recycling and resource regeneration, traditional processing technologies have long faced multiple challenges related to efficiency, environmental protection, and cost. Early scrap copper cleaning mainly relied on chemical immersion or high-pressure water washing, but chemical residues easily cause secondary pollution and are insufficiently adaptable to scrap copper with complex compositions. For example, scrap copper containing oil or oxide layers requires multiple pretreatment processes, resulting in high energy and water consumption. While physical cleaning technologies avoid chemical pollution, the traditional manual high-pressure water gun washing method not only requires multi-station operation but also cannot effectively clean all parts of the material. For example, when the material is high, workers need to use a step stool to reach the top of the scrap copper, while the conveyor belt is constantly moving the material at a constant speed to the next station, requiring workers to follow and wash it. Based on the aforementioned shortcomings in scrap copper recycling and cleaning in some scrap copper processing plants, this paper proposes an automated scrap copper recycling cleaning device.

The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0024] Example 1: An automatic cleaning device for waste copper recycling includes a waste copper transport mechanism 1, an arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2 at the rear of the waste copper transport mechanism 1, and a high-pressure water pump station 3 installed on the right side of the waste copper transport mechanism 1. In the waste copper transport mechanism 1, multiple sections of the transport frame 11 are connected sequentially by bolts. A drive motor 14 is fixed to the side wall of the transport frame 11 with bolts. Several rotating rollers are rotatably installed on the front and rear side walls of the transport frame 11. Several galvanized sprockets are fixed to the outer ring of the rollers, and galvanized chains 12 are wound between the galvanized sprockets. A tray 15 supporting the waste copper material is placed on the upper surface of the galvanized chain 12. Several galvanized tensioning wheels 13 are installed on the bottom surface of the transport frame 11 to tension the galvanized chain 12. A waterproof cover with a protection level of IP65 or higher is installed on the outside of the drive motor 14. In the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, two upright plates 21 are connected to the ground on the left and right sides of the rear section of the scrap copper transport mechanism 1 by screws. The upright plates 21 are arranged symmetrically in a mirror image with the central axis of the transport frame 11 as the reference line. A top plate 23 is fixed to the top surface of the upright plates 21 with bolts. A transparent plate 22 is embedded and fixed inside the upright plates 21 and the top plate 23. Multiple through holes are opened inside the transparent plate 22, and several high-pressure spray heads 24 are embedded and fixed in the through holes. The water inlet end of the high-pressure spray head 24 is connected to the water supply end of the high-pressure water pump station 3 through a high-pressure water pipe. The spray head of the high-pressure spray head 24 faces the scrap copper material placed on the upper surface of the tray 15. An infrared sensor is installed on the front end face of the upright plate 21 to monitor whether there is material on the tray 15 and whether the material has entered the interior of the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2. The scrap copper material is placed on the upper surface of the tray 15, and the width and height of the scrap copper material do not exceed the internal area of ​​the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2. Waterproof grease is applied between the galvanized chain 12, the galvanized tension wheel 13, and the galvanized sprocket. During operation, the drive motor 14 drives the rotating roller to rotate, which in turn drives the galvanized sprocket to rotate. The galvanized sprocket then moves the galvanized chain 12, thereby moving the pallet 15 and the scrap copper material. When the infrared sensor detects material on the pallet 15 and that the material has entered the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, the high-pressure water pump station 3 is activated, and water is delivered to the high-pressure spray head 24 through the high-pressure water pipe to spray and clean the scrap copper material.

[0025] Example 2: An automatic cleaning device for waste copper recycling. The waste copper transport mechanism 1 has a conveyor frame 11 made of high-strength aluminum alloy. Multiple sections of the conveyor frame 11 are connected by welding. A drive motor 14 is fixed to the side wall of the conveyor frame 11 via a flange. Rotary rollers are rotatably mounted on the front and rear side walls of the conveyor frame 11 via bearings. A galvanized sprocket is fixed to the roller by a key connection. A galvanized chain 12 is wound around the galvanized sprocket, and a tray 15 is placed on the upper surface of the galvanized chain 12. A galvanized tensioning wheel 13 is installed at a specific position at the bottom of the conveyor frame 11, and tension of the galvanized chain 12 is achieved by adjusting bolts. The waterproof cover of the drive motor 14 is made of stainless steel. In the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, the upright plate 21 and the top plate 23 are made of transparent acrylic and are fixedly connected to the transparent plate 22 with glue. The through holes on the transparent plate 22 are processed by drilling. The high-pressure spray head 24 is embedded in the through hole and sealed with sealant. The high-pressure spray head 24 is connected to the high-pressure water pipe by thread, and the high-pressure water pipe is connected to the water supply end of the high-pressure water pump station 3 by a quick connector. The infrared sensor is connected to the control device through wires to transmit monitoring signals. The waste copper material placed on the tray 15 is irregularly shaped, but its width and height meet the requirement of not exceeding the internal area of ​​the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2. Waterproof lubricant is applied to the galvanized chain 12, the galvanized tension wheel 13, and the galvanized sprocket by brush. During operation, the drive motor 14 drives the rotating roller to rotate, which moves the galvanized chain 12 and the tray 15. When the infrared sensor detects that the material has entered the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, the control device controls the high-pressure water pump station 3 to start, and high-pressure water is sprayed from the high-pressure spray head 24 to clean the waste copper material.

[0026] Example 3: An automatic cleaning device for waste copper recycling. The conveyor frame 11 of the waste copper conveying mechanism 1 has a segmented structure, with each segment connected by snap-fits. The drive motor 14 is mounted on a motor mount on the side wall of the conveyor frame 11. The two ends of the rotating roller are mounted on the front and rear side walls of the conveyor frame 11 by tapered roller bearings. The galvanized sprocket is fixed to the rotating roller by an interference fit. The galvanized chain 12 rotates cyclically on the galvanized sprocket, and the tray 15 is placed stably on the galvanized chain 12. The galvanized tensioning wheel 13 is installed in a groove at the bottom of the conveyor frame 11, and the galvanized chain 12 is automatically tensioned by a spring. The waterproof cover of the drive motor 14 is made of plastic and is fixed to the drive motor 14 by snap-fits. In the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, the upright plate 21 and top plate 23 are made of wood with a waterproof paint coating. The transparent plate 22 is made of glass and is fixed to the upright plate 21 and top plate 23 by metal clamps. The through holes on the transparent plate 22 are processed by laser drilling, and the high-pressure spray head 24 is fixed in the through holes by threaded connection. The high-pressure water pipe is a rubber hose, which is connected to the high-pressure spray head 24 and the high-pressure water pump station 3 through a pagoda connector. The infrared sensor is installed on the sensor bracket on the front end face of the upright plate 21, and the installation angle is adjustable. The scrap copper material on the tray 15 is in small pieces, and the width and height meet the requirements. Waterproof lubricant is sprayed between the galvanized chain 12, the galvanized tension wheel 13, and the galvanized sprocket by a spray gun. During operation, the drive motor 14 drives the rotating roller and the galvanized chain 12 to move, and the tray 15 carries the scrap copper material. After the infrared sensor detects that the material has entered the cleaning area, it sends a signal to activate the high-pressure water pump station 3, and high-pressure water is sprayed from the high-pressure spray head 24 to clean the scrap copper material.

[0027] Based on the above-described preferred technical solution, the workflow of this technical solution is explained as follows:

[0028] In the scrap copper transport mechanism 1, multiple sections of conveyor frame 11 are connected to form a transport track. The drive motor 14 is fixed to the side wall of the conveyor frame 11. When the drive motor 14 is started, its output shaft rotates, driving the connected roller to rotate. Because several galvanized sprockets are fixed on the outer ring of the roller, and galvanized chains 12 are wound between the galvanized sprockets, the rotation of the roller will drive the galvanized sprockets to rotate, thereby causing the galvanized chains 12 to start circulating. The galvanized tensioning wheel 13 on the bottom surface of the conveyor frame 11 tensions the galvanized chains 12. To ensure the smooth operation of the galvanized chain 12, the tray 15 supporting the scrap copper material is placed on the upper surface of the galvanized chain 12. The movement of the galvanized chain 12 will move the tray 15 and the scrap copper material on it together. The waterproof grease applied between the galvanized chain 12, the galvanized tension wheel 13 and the galvanized sprocket can reduce wear between the parts and ensure smooth operation. At the same time, the waterproof cover with an external protection level of IP65 or higher for the drive motor 14 can prevent water and other impurities from entering the drive motor 14 and affecting its normal operation.

[0029] When the tray 15 carrying scrap copper moves to the position of the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, the infrared sensor installed on the front end face of the upright plate 21 starts working. If it detects that there is material on the tray 15 and that the material has entered the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, it will send a signal. At this time, the high-pressure water pump station 3 receives the signal and starts, pressurizing the water and delivering it through the high-pressure water pipe to the high-pressure spray head 24 embedded in the through hole of the transparent plate 22 inside the upright plate 21 and the top plate 23. The spray head of the high-pressure spray head 24 faces the tray. The waste copper material placed on the upper surface of the tray 15 is sprayed with water from the high-pressure spray head 24 to thoroughly clean the waste copper material. The transparent plate 22 inside the vertical plate 21 and the top plate 23 allows the operator to observe the cleaning process and prevents water from splashing out. During the cleaning process, the tray 15 moves continuously under the drive of the galvanized chain 12, so that the waste copper material can be thoroughly cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the tray 15 carries the cleaned waste copper material and continues to move away from the arch-type spray cleaning mechanism 2, completing the entire automatic cleaning process of waste copper recycling.

[0030] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
