Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic recycling, specifically a cleaning and rinsing device for plastic recycling. Background Technology
[0002] In the plastic recycling process, cleaning and rinsing are necessary to remove impurities and oil stains from the plastic surface to ensure the quality of recycled plastics. However, conventional cleaning and rinsing devices have shortcomings in material conveying, cleaning, and impurity-liquid separation. Material tends to accumulate, leading to insufficient cleaning, and the discharge of impurities and liquid is delayed, which can easily cause secondary pollution. Furthermore, the coordination between the various stages is poor, and it is impossible to efficiently integrate cleaning, conveying, and drainage functions, affecting the overall efficiency and quality of plastic recycling rinsing.
[0003] Conventional technologies address the aforementioned issues by employing simple roller conveyors combined with static spray cleaning, with manual periodic cleaning to separate impurities from the water. They attempt to complete the cleaning process through basic conveying and spraying structures, relying on manual labor to ensure the discharge of impurities and trying to maintain a clean rinsing process.
[0004] However, simple roller conveying can easily cause material to accumulate, static spraying cannot meet the needs of dynamic cleaning, and manual cleaning of impurities and water requires stopping the machine, making it difficult to operate in real time and efficiently.
[0005] Therefore, a cleaning and rinsing device for plastic recycling is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0008] The back of the drive gear is provided with a main shaft, the outside of the main shaft is provided with multiple half gears, the upper end of the half gear is provided with an upper gear, the inner side of the upper gear is provided with an upper shaft, the outside of the upper gear is provided with an upper crank arm, and one end of the upper crank arm is provided with a push shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the lower gear meshes with the sawtooth structure of the lower shaft, and the upper gear meshes with the sawtooth structure of the lower shaft.
[0011] Preferably, the rotation direction of the lower gear is the same as the rotation direction of the lower shaft, and the rotation direction of the upper gear is the same as the rotation direction of the lower shaft.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom shape of the wiper strip is a right-angled triangle, and the angle between the bottom of the wiper strip and the horizontal line is an acute angle.
[0013] Preferably, the length of the push shaft is less than the length of the scrubbing roller.
[0014] Preferably, the external structure of the scrubbing roller is composed of multiple uneven arc-shaped structures.
[0015] Preferably, the rotation direction of the main shaft is the same as the rotation direction of the drive gear.
[0016] Preferably, the geometric center of the lower gear and the geometric center of the upper gear are on the same straight line.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cleaning and rinsing device for plastic recycling, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The motor drives the drive gear, transmission belt, and driven gear to rotate the scrubbing roller, realizing material movement and rolling cleaning. At the same time, the drive gear drives the main shaft and half gear to rotate. The half gear alternately meshes with the upper and lower gears, driving the upper crank arm, push shaft, lower crank arm, and scraper to move respectively. The push shaft accelerates material movement and improves scrubbing efficiency. The scraper pushes the leakage liquid out through the overflow port, realizing the rapid separation of material cleaning and impurities from the water. It integrates cleaning, material conveying, and impurity discharge functions, optimizing the plastic recycling rinsing process.
[0019] 2. By utilizing the meshing transmission of the half-gear and the upper and lower gears, combined with the structural design of the upper crank arm, push shaft, lower crank arm, and wiper blade, the motor power is converted into the coordinated action of multiple components. The push shaft enhances the movement speed of the material on the scrubbing roller, increasing the cleaning frequency. The wiper blade promptly discharges water containing impurities, avoiding secondary pollution. Through the linkage of the mechanical structure, the cleaning process is ensured to be continuous and stable, improving the efficiency and effect of plastic recycling and rinsing, and adapting to the needs of continuous industrial production.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0027] A cleaning and rinsing device for plastic recycling includes a drain tank 1, a frame 2 installed on the outside of the drain tank 1, overflow outlets 11 on both sides of the drain tank 1, a motor body 10 installed on one side of the upper front of the drain tank 1, a drive gear 21 installed on the back of the motor body 10, a transmission belt 14 installed on the outside of the drive gear 21, a driven gear 12 installed at the upper end of the transmission belt 14, a scrubbing roller 3 installed on the back of the driven gear 12, a capillary suction pipe 13 vertically penetrating through the gaps between the driven gears 12, a water delivery pipe 4 installed at the upper end of the capillary suction pipe 13, and a spray pipe 5 installed at the bottom of the water delivery pipe 4.
[0028] The back of the drive gear 21 is provided with a main shaft 19, and a plurality of half gears 20 are provided on the outside of the main shaft 19. The upper end of the half gear 20 is provided with an upper gear 7. The inner side of the upper gear 7 is provided with an upper shaft 6, and the outside of the upper gear 7 is provided with an upper crank arm 17. One end of the upper crank arm 17 is provided with a push shaft 18.
[0029] The lower end of the upper gear 7 is provided with a lower gear 9, the inner side of the lower gear 9 is provided with a lower shaft 8, the outer side of the lower gear 9 is provided with a lower crank arm 15, and one end of the lower crank arm 15 is provided with a wiper strip 16.
[0030] In this process, the user puts the material into the upper end of the scrubbing roller 3. At this time, the user connects the external water to the bottom of the capillary suction pipe 13. The water enters the water delivery pipe 4 from the capillary suction pipe 13, and the water delivery pipe 4 sprays the water onto the surface of the scrubbing roller 3 through the spray pipe 5. Then, the motor body 10 is started. The motor body 10 drives the drive gear 21 to rotate. When the drive gear 21 rotates, it drives the transmission belt 14 to rotate. When the transmission belt 14 rotates, it drives the driven gear 12 to rotate. The driven gear 12 drives the scrubbing roller 3 to rotate. At this time, the scrubbing roller 3 can move the material when it rotates, and the scrubbing roller 3 can also roll and clean the surface of the material when it rotates.
[0031] When the motor body 10 drives the drive gear 21 to rotate, the drive gear 21 drives the main shaft 19 to rotate, the main shaft 19 drives the half gear 20 to rotate, when the half gear 20 rotates and meshes with the upper gear 7, the upper gear 7 starts to rotate, the upper gear 7 drives the upper crank arm 17 to move back and forth on the surface of the scrubbing roller 3, when the upper crank arm 17 moves back and forth, it drives the push shaft 18 to move back and forth at the upper end of the scrubbing roller 3, when the push shaft 18 moves, it will speed up the material movement on the surface of the scrubbing roller 3, thereby increasing the efficiency of the material being rolled and cleaned by the scrubbing roller 3;
[0032] When the half gear 20 rotates downwards, it meshes with and drives the lower gear 9 to rotate. The lower gear 9 rotates outside the lower shaft 8. When the lower gear 9 rotates, it drives the lower crank arm 15 to move back and forth on the side of the drain tank 1 near the overflow port 11. When the scraper 16 moves back and forth inside the overflow port 11, it can push the water that seeps out from the gap of the scrubbing roller 3, so that the water of the impurities outside the mixture will be quickly discharged by the scraper 16.
[0033] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5The drain tank 1 is equipped with a frame 2 on the outside, and overflow outlets 11 are provided on both sides of the drain tank 1. A motor body 10 is provided on one side of the upper front of the drain tank 1. A drive gear 21 is provided on the back of the motor body 10. A transmission belt 14 is provided on the outside of the drive gear 21. A driven gear 12 is provided on the upper end of the transmission belt 14. A scrubbing roller 3 is provided on the back of the driven gear 12. A capillary suction pipe 13 is vertically inserted through the gaps between the driven gears 12. A water delivery pipe 4 is provided on the upper end of the capillary suction pipe 13. A spray pipe 5 is provided on the bottom of the water delivery pipe 4.
[0034] The back of the drive gear 21 is provided with a main shaft 19, and a plurality of half gears 20 are provided on the outside of the main shaft 19. The upper end of the half gear 20 is provided with an upper gear 7. The inner side of the upper gear 7 is provided with an upper shaft 6, and the outside of the upper gear 7 is provided with an upper crank arm 17. One end of the upper crank arm 17 is provided with a push shaft 18.
[0035] The lower end of the upper gear 7 is provided with a lower gear 9, the inner side of the lower gear 9 is provided with a lower shaft 8, the outer side of the lower gear 9 is provided with a lower crank arm 15, and one end of the lower crank arm 15 is provided with a wiper strip 16.
[0036] The sawtooth structure of the lower gear 9 meshes with the sawtooth structure of the lower shaft 8, and the sawtooth structure of the upper gear 7 meshes with the lower shaft 8.
[0037] The rotation direction of the lower gear 9 is the same as the rotation direction of the lower shaft 8, and the rotation direction of the upper gear 7 is the same as the rotation direction of the lower shaft 8.
[0038] The bottom of the wiper blade 16 has a right-angled triangle structure, and the angle between the bottom of the wiper blade 16 and the horizontal line is an acute angle.
[0039] In this process, the user feeds the material into the upper part of the scrubbing roller 3, and connects the external water supply to the bottom of the capillary suction pipe 13. The water flows through the capillary suction pipe 13 into the water supply pipe 4, and then is sprayed onto the surface of the scrubbing roller 3 through the spray pipe 5. The motor body 10 is started, driving the drive gear 21 to rotate. This drives the driven gear 12 and the scrubbing roller 3 to rotate through the transmission belt 14, causing the material to move and roll for cleaning. When the motor body 10 drives the drive gear 21 to rotate, the drive gear 21 drives the main shaft 19 and the half gear 20. Rotation occurs because the lower gear 9 meshes with the lower shaft 8 and the upper gear 7 meshes with the lower shaft 8, and the rotation directions are the same. When the half gear 20 meshes with the upper gear 7, the upper gear 7 drives the upper crank arm 17 and the push shaft 18 to move back and forth on the surface of the scrubbing roller 3, which speeds up the material movement and improves the cleaning efficiency. When the half gear 20 meshes with the lower gear 9, the lower gear 9 drives the lower crank arm 15 and the scraper 16 to move back and forth inside the overflow port 11, pushing the leaked liquid out.
[0040] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 The drain tank 1 is equipped with a frame 2 on the outside, and overflow outlets 11 are provided on both sides of the drain tank 1. A motor body 10 is provided on one side of the upper front of the drain tank 1. A drive gear 21 is provided on the back of the motor body 10. A transmission belt 14 is provided on the outside of the drive gear 21. A driven gear 12 is provided on the upper end of the transmission belt 14. A scrubbing roller 3 is provided on the back of the driven gear 12. A capillary suction pipe 13 is vertically inserted through the gaps between the driven gears 12. A water delivery pipe 4 is provided on the upper end of the capillary suction pipe 13. A spray pipe 5 is provided on the bottom of the water delivery pipe 4.
[0041] The back of the drive gear 21 is provided with a main shaft 19, and a plurality of half gears 20 are provided on the outside of the main shaft 19. The upper end of the half gear 20 is provided with an upper gear 7. The inner side of the upper gear 7 is provided with an upper shaft 6, and the outside of the upper gear 7 is provided with an upper crank arm 17. One end of the upper crank arm 17 is provided with a push shaft 18.
[0042] The lower end of the upper gear 7 is provided with a lower gear 9, the inner side of the lower gear 9 is provided with a lower shaft 8, the outer side of the lower gear 9 is provided with a lower crank arm 15, and one end of the lower crank arm 15 is provided with a wiper strip 16.
[0043] The external structure of the scrubbing roller 3 consists of multiple uneven arc-shaped structures;
[0044] The rotation direction of the main shaft 19 is the same as the rotation direction of the drive gear 21;
[0045] The geometric center of the lower gear 9 and the geometric center of the upper gear 7 are on the same straight line.
[0046] In this process, the user puts the material into the upper end of the scrubbing roller 3, and connects the external water supply to the bottom of the capillary suction pipe 13. The water flows into the water supply pipe 4 through the capillary suction pipe 13, and then is sprayed onto the surface of the scrubbing roller 3 by the spray pipe 5. The motor body 10 is started, which drives the drive gear 21 to rotate. Through the transmission belt 14, the driven gear 12 and the scrubbing roller 3 are driven to rotate, which moves the material and rolls it for cleaning. When the motor body 10 drives the drive gear 21 to rotate, the drive gear 21 drives the main shaft 19 and the half gear 20 to rotate. Since the geometric center of the lower gear 9 is collinear with the geometric center of the upper gear 7, when the half gear 20 meshes with the upper gear 7, the upper gear 7 drives the upper crank arm 17 and the push shaft 18 to move back and forth on the surface of the scrubbing roller 3, which speeds up the material movement and improves the cleaning efficiency. When the half gear 20 meshes with the lower gear 9, the lower gear 9 drives the lower crank arm 15 and the scraper 16 to move back and forth inside the overflow port 11, pushing the leaked liquid out.

As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on their specific structural composition and working principle.
