Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0020] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0021] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a 3D consumable waste recycling device includes a base 1, a crushing device 2 mounted on the upper part of the base, a melting device 3 connected to the output end of the crushing device, a receiving mechanism 4 arranged on the base next to the output end of the melting device, and a guiding mechanism 5 arranged on the base between the output end of the melting device and the input end of the receiving mechanism. In use, the waste is placed on the crushing device, crushed by the crushing device, and then fed into the melting device for heating. After heating and melting, the waste is extruded and subjected to initial rapid cooling to form material filaments. The material filaments are then conveyed by the guiding mechanism and finally wound onto the receiving mechanism.

[0022] In this embodiment, to achieve pulverization, the pulverizing device includes a pulverizing shell 6, which is funnel-shaped. Two pulverizing shafts 7 are rotatably connected inside the pulverizing shell. The two pulverizing shafts are arranged in parallel and driven by the same motor 8. One end of each pulverizing shaft can extend through the pulverizing shell. One of the extended ends of the pulverizing shafts is driven by the motor. Each extended end of the pulverizing shaft is equipped with a transmission gear 9, which meshes with each other to achieve synchronous movement of the pulverizing gears. Several main pulverizing teeth 10 are spaced apart along the length of the pulverizing shaft. The main crushing teeth on the shaft are staggered, meaning that the main crushing teeth on one crushing shaft are located between adjacent main crushing teeth on another crushing shaft, which facilitates mechanical crushing. At the same time, the main crushing teeth are annular, with teeth evenly distributed around the circumference of the outer ring surface. Due to the crushing of waste materials, side crushing teeth 11 are arranged at intervals along the length of the crushing shaft on the inner wall of the crushing housing. The side crushing teeth on the inner wall of the crushing housing are staggered with the main crushing teeth on the same side of the crushing shaft, meaning that the side crushing teeth are located between adjacent main crushing teeth on the same side of the crushing shaft, which prevents waste materials from falling directly into the next process from the side.

[0023] In this embodiment, an existing auger mechanism 12 is connected to the lower output port of the crushing shell. The auger mechanism includes a horizontally arranged auger sleeve 13, and an auger shaft 14 is rotatably connected inside the auger sleeve. An auger motor 15 for driving the auger shaft to rotate is installed on one end of the auger sleeve, and the other end of the auger sleeve is the discharge port. The discharge port end of the auger sleeve can be open and the other end closed. One end of the auger shaft passes through the closed end. At the same time, a motor is mounted on the base. The motor shaft is connected to the auger shaft through a connection or a worm gear mechanism, thereby realizing the transmission connection. An inlet communicating with the inside of the auger shaft is opened on the outer wall of the auger sleeve. The lower output port of the crushing shell is connected to the inlet. The crushed waste enters the auger sleeve through the lower output port of the crushing shell and the inlet. The auger shaft is driven by the auger motor to crush the waste a second time and feed it.

[0024] In this embodiment, to achieve heating and melting, the melting device includes a heating device 16. A vertical heating channel is formed in the middle of the heating device. The heating device can be an existing heating tube or heating sleeve structure with an externally fitted resistance heating wire, creating a heating channel in the middle, similar to a heater in injection molding. Since this is existing technology, it will not be described in detail. A feeding funnel 17 is connected to the upper end of the heating device. The output end of the auger sleeve extends into the feeding funnel. During use, the crushed waste material is fed into the feeding funnel from the output end of the auger sleeve. The lower end of the feeding funnel is connected to the upper end of the heating channel. An extrusion nozzle 18 is installed at the lower end of the heating device. A vertical extrusion channel is provided, the upper end of which is connected to the lower end of the heating channel. The waste material in the feed hopper enters the heating channel and is melted by heat, and then extruded through the extrusion nozzle to form waste filaments. In order to facilitate the extrusion of the melted waste material, the melting device is equipped with an extrusion mechanism. The specific structure is as follows: the extrusion mechanism includes an extrusion auger shaft 19 rotatably connected in the heating channel. The upper end of the extrusion auger shaft extends out of the heating channel and the feed hopper. An extrusion discharge motor 20 is mounted on the upper part of the feed hopper to drive the extrusion auger shaft to rotate. The extrusion discharge motor drives the extrusion auger shaft to rotate, thereby pushing the melted waste material downward. Finally, the waste material concentrated in the extrusion nozzle is extruded to form waste filaments.

[0025] In this embodiment, in order to achieve material guiding, the material guiding mechanism includes a horizontally arranged flexible guide tube 21. The flexible guide tube is a prior art technology and can be bent and turned at any angle as needed. An inclined guide plate 22 is mounted on the base below the output port of the extrusion nozzle. The input end of the flexible guide tube is located in the middle of the inclined lower end of the inclined guide plate. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the output end of the flexible guide tube is provided on the base at the output end of the flexible guide tube.

[0026] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal lead screw 23 rotatably connected to a base. An auxiliary guide rod 24 is arranged parallel to the horizontal lead screw mechanism on the base. Alternatively, rotating seats 25 can be arranged on the left and right sides of the base corresponding to the horizontal lead screw. The two ends of the horizontal lead screw are rotatably connected between the two rotating seats. A drive motor 26 for driving the horizontal lead screw to rotate is installed on one end of the horizontal lead screw. The two ends of the auxiliary guide rod are also fixed on the corresponding rotating seats. A movable plate 27 that slides with the horizontal lead screw is installed on the horizontal lead screw. That is, the lead screw nut configured on the horizontal lead screw is fixed on the movable plate. The movable plate has a guide hole that matches the auxiliary guide rod. The movement of the movable plate drives the lead screw nut to slide, thereby realizing the movement of the movable plate. A fixed ring 28 is installed on the movable plate. The output end of the flexible guide tube is fixed on the fixed ring. The movement of the movable plate drives the fixed ring to move, thereby adjusting the position of the output end of the flexible guide tube as needed.

[0027] In this embodiment, to achieve material collection, the material collection mechanism includes a material collection screw 29. Two screw nuts 30 with opposite directions of rotation are rotatably connected to both ends of the screw. Several hinge seats 31 are evenly distributed around the outer circumference of the two screw nuts. Connecting blocks 32 are hinged to the hinge seats. The ends of the corresponding connecting blocks on the two screw nuts are connected via a connecting wedge plate 33. The two ends of the connecting wedge plate are rotatably connected to the ends of the corresponding connecting blocks via a rotating shaft. A winding wheel 34 is fitted over the assembly of each connecting wedge plate. The length of the winding wheel is less than the length of the connecting wedge plate. The body of the connecting wedge plate abuts against the inner wall of the winding wheel. Each connecting wedge plate can achieve rapid centering of the material collection wheel. In use, the rotation of the material collection screw drives the two screw nuts on the screw to move in opposite directions. When the distance between the two screw nuts increases, due to the length of the connecting wedge plate... The two connecting blocks will move from an inclined state towards the vertical length of the take-up screw. At this time, the connecting wedge plate at the end of the connecting block will push outward until it abuts against the inner wall of the take-up wheel, thus fixing the position of the take-up wheel. When separation is required, the rotation of the take-up screw will shorten the distance between the two screw nuts on the take-up screw, and the connecting wedge plate will move inward, thus separating the connecting wedge plate from the inner wall of the take-up wheel, thereby separating the take-up wheel. The structure of the take-up wheel is as follows: it includes a take-up sleeve, which is sleeved on the assembly of each connecting wedge plate. The two ends of the take-up sleeve can be provided with annular limiting shoulders to limit the detachment of the wound waste wire. A mechanical arm 44 is provided above the take-up screw and the horizontal screw. The mechanical arm can be an existing multi-axis mechanical arm. The end of the mechanical arm has a mechanical gripper, which can be used to grip the waste wire output from the end of the soft guide tube and place it on the take-up wheel.

[0028] In this embodiment, during use, when the take-up screw rotates until the connecting wedge plate is completely locked to the inner wall of the take-up wheel, the connecting wedge plate can no longer expand outward, so the screw nut of the take-up screw cannot slide further. Therefore, the screw nut, the take-up screw, and the take-up wheel form a synchronous rotating body. At this time, the take-up motor becomes a driving mechanism that drives the rotating body to rotate, thereby rotating the take-up wheel and driving the waste wire to be wound up.

[0029] In this embodiment, for rational design, a housing 35 is provided on the base, and left and right partition plates 36 are provided on the base, dividing the interior of the housing into a working chamber 37 and an operating chamber 38. A front and rear partition plate 39 is provided on the base within the working chamber, dividing the working chamber into a discharge chamber 40 and a winding chamber 41. An opening connecting the discharge chamber and the winding chamber is provided on one end of the front and rear partition plates near the left and right partition plates. A feed inlet is provided on the top of the housing corresponding to the upper input port of the crushing housing. The crushing housing is fixed under the top plate of the housing, and a flip-top door 42 is hinged to the upper input port of the crushing housing. The drive motor of the crushing shaft is fixed to the inner wall of the left and right partition plates within the operating chamber. One end of the crushing shaft passes through the left and right partition plates and is connected to the motor shaft. The extended end of a crushing shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the left and right partition plates of the working chamber. Transmission is achieved through the meshing transmission gears between the extended ends. The spiral auger mechanism is installed in the discharge chamber. One end of the auger sleeve passes through the left and right partition plates and extends into the operating chamber. The auger motor is installed in the operating chamber. The material taking mechanism is installed in the winding chamber. The soft guide tube extends from the discharge chamber through an opening into the winding chamber. Cooling fans 43 are provided on the left and right sides of the inclined guide plate in the working chamber for gradient cooling of the waste filaments. The horizontal lead screw can also be rotatably connected between the front and rear partition plates and the interior of the front side of the shell. A drive motor for driving the horizontal lead screw is installed on the front and rear partition plates. The material taking screw is rotatably connected to the front and rear partition plates. A material taking motor for driving the material taking screw is also provided on the front and rear partition plates.
