Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste recycling, specifically to a device for recycling waste from optical glass processing. Background Technology

[0002] The processing of optical glass generates a large amount of waste, the core reason being the contradiction between its extremely stringent performance requirements (such as optical precision, component purity, and appearance quality) and the complex processing flow (requiring multiple delicate processes from raw materials to finished products). Each process must reserve processing allowance for "final compliance," and any slight deviation will lead to the semi-finished / finished product being judged as waste. The core performance of optical glass (transmittance, refractive index uniformity) depends on the ultra-high purity of raw material components (such as SiO2 purity of over 99.99% and heavy metal impurity content of less than 0.001%). Waste is generated in the raw material preparation process itself: when the raw material is melted in a high-temperature furnace, if the temperature control is uneven, the melting time is insufficient, or the inner wall of the furnace is contaminated, defects such as "bubbles, stones (unmelted particles), and streaks (uneven composition)" will appear in the glass melt. These defective glass ingots (or glass blocks) cannot enter subsequent processing, accounting for 5% to 10% of the total raw material (even higher for high-end optical glass).

[0003] A large amount of optical glass waste needs to be collected using collection devices, which requires waste recycling equipment. A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN114471893A, which discloses a waste recycling device for glass production. The device describes a crushing chamber with an inlet at its top. Two first motors are fixedly connected to the upper left side wall of the crushing chamber. A small hole is opened at the upper left side wall of the crushing chamber, through which the output ends of the first motors extend into the crushing chamber. Crushing rods are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two first motors, and the ends of the two crushing rods furthest from the first motors are rotatably connected to the crushing chamber via bearings.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned device can greatly improve the secondary utilization rate of glass, reduce waste of materials, and make secondary utilization more convenient, in actual use, a large number of different types of optical glass are mixed together. As we all know, the core component of optical glass is silicon dioxide (SiO2), but different auxiliary materials are added according to the optical performance requirements, resulting in significant differences in the composition of waste materials, such as those containing heavy metals, those without heavy metals, and those containing rare elements.

[0005] If these wastes are mixed together, the different components cannot be separated during subsequent processing. For example, if lead-containing waste is mixed with lead-free waste, the recycled glass will have excessive lead content, making it unusable in lead-free applications and wasting the recycling value of lead-free glass. If rare elements are mixed with common components, they will be unable to be extracted due to their low concentration and will directly become "garbage". Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for recycling waste materials from optical glass processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, an optical glass processing waste recycling device is provided, including a turntable, on which a waste recycling bin A is installed, and a waste recycling bin B is installed on one side of the waste recycling bin A. At the same time, a waste recycling bin C is installed on one side of the waste recycling bin B. A recycling cover is connected to the top of the waste recycling bin A, and a gravity dust-blocking mechanism is provided on the upper side of the interior of the waste recycling bin A. Meanwhile, a feeding groove is opened on the surface of the recycling cover, and a limiting cylinder is fixedly provided at the bottom of the feeding groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the waste recycling bins A, B, and C are centrally symmetrical on the surface of the turntable, the turntable is circular, and the bins on waste recycling bins A, B, and C are all circular.

[0009] Furthermore, the surface of the turntable is provided with equidistant positioning grooves, and waste recycling bins A, B and C are respectively inserted into the three sets of positioning grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, three sets of limiting blocks are equidistantly installed at the bottom of the turntable, and the limiting blocks are slidably arranged in the limiting tracks opened on the base. At the same time, the limiting blocks are dovetail-shaped, and three sets of fixing feet are equidistantly installed on the outer circumference of the base, and the base is annular.

[0011] Furthermore, the tops of the waste recycling bins A, B, and C are all covered with recycling covers, and each of the three sets of recycling covers has an indicator hole in the middle. The indicator hole on waste recycling bin A is diamond-shaped, the indicator hole on waste recycling bin B is circular, and the indicator hole on waste recycling bin C is rectangular.

[0012] Furthermore, the gravity dust-blocking mechanism includes a baffle plate, a lever seat, a drop seat, a metal counterweight, and a connecting shaft. The baffle plate is a circular structure made of plastic, and its area is larger than the bottom area of ​​the limiting cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, a lever seat is fixedly provided at the end of the baffle, and a connecting shaft is fixedly inserted inside the lever seat. At the same time, both ends of the connecting shaft are movably connected to the inner wall of the barrel through bearings.

[0014] Furthermore, a drop seat is fixedly provided at the end of the lever seat away from the baffle, and a metal counterweight is fixedly inserted inside the drop seat, and the metal counterweight is arranged in a quadrangular prism shape.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This solution uses a rotating turntable to rotate three sets of waste recycling bins in sequence, moving the corresponding waste recycling bins to the bottom of the waste discharge pipe of the waste generating equipment. When the waste discharge pipe discharges glass waste containing heavy metals, waste waste without heavy metals, and waste waste containing rare elements, it can receive the waste in sequence through waste recycling bin A, waste recycling bin B, and waste recycling bin C, thus avoiding the mixing of different types of waste and achieving classified collection and storage.

[0017] 2. This solution uses diamond-shaped indicator holes on waste recycling bin A, circular ones on waste recycling bin B, and rectangular ones on waste recycling bin C. This differentiated shape marking allows operators to quickly and intuitively identify the type of waste corresponding to each recycling bin visually, without having to look closely at the text labels or rely on memory. This effectively avoids classification confusion caused by similar bin appearances and reduces the probability of misplaced waste.

[0018] 3. In this solution, after feeding is completed, the baffle loses external force and can automatically reset and move downward to cover the bottom of the limiting cylinder under the gravity of the lower seat and metal counterweight. The automatic closing design can effectively prevent dust particles inside the waste recycling bin A from drifting into the workshop environment through the indicator hole, which not only protects the air quality in the workshop and reduces the impact of dust on the health of operators, but also avoids secondary pollution caused by dust diffusion. At the same time, there is no need for manual closing or the use of electricity or other power sources to maintain the closed state, which further improves the environmental protection and practicality of the waste recycling bin A in the process of classifying and collecting glass waste containing heavy metals.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an optical glass processing waste recycling device, including a turntable 400, on which a waste recycling bin A100 is installed, and a waste recycling bin B200 is installed on one side of the waste recycling bin A100. At the same time, a waste recycling bin C300 is installed on one side of the waste recycling bin B200. A recycling cover 11 is connected to the top of the waste recycling bin A100, and a gravity dust-blocking mechanism 15 is provided on the upper side inside the waste recycling bin A100. Meanwhile, a feeding groove 12 is opened on the surface of the recycling cover 11, and a limiting cylinder 131 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the feeding groove 12.

[0027] Working principle: Three sets of positioning slots 41, equidistantly opened on the surface of the turntable 400, are respectively inserted into waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300. By rotating the turntable 400, the three sets of waste recycling bins can be rotated in sequence, so that the corresponding waste recycling bins move to the bottom of the waste discharge pipe of the waste generating equipment. When the waste discharge pipe discharges glass waste containing heavy metals, waste waste without heavy metals, and waste waste containing rare elements, it can be received by waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300 in sequence, so as to avoid mixing of different types of waste and realize the work of classified collection and storage.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300 are centrally symmetrical on the surface of the turntable 400, which is circular, and the bin bodies 14 on the waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300 are all circular.

[0029] The surface of the turntable 400 is provided with equidistant positioning grooves 41, and waste recycling bins A100, B200 and C300 are respectively inserted into the three sets of positioning grooves 41.

[0030] Three sets of limiting blocks 42 are equidistantly installed at the bottom of the turntable 400, and the limiting blocks 42 are slidably set in the limiting track opened on the base 500. At the same time, the limiting blocks 42 are dovetail-shaped, and three sets of fixing feet are equidistantly installed on the outer circumference of the base 500, which is annular.

[0031] The tops of waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300 are all covered with recycling covers 11. Each of the three sets of recycling covers 11 has an indicator hole 13 in the middle. The indicator hole 13 on waste recycling bin A100 is diamond-shaped, the indicator hole 13 on waste recycling bin B200 is circular, and the indicator hole 13 on waste recycling bin C300 is rectangular.

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown: Three sets of positioning slots 41, equidistantly spaced on the surface of the turntable 400, are used to insert waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300 respectively. The rotation of the turntable 400 allows for the orderly switching of the three sets of waste recycling bins, accurately moving the corresponding waste recycling bin to the bottom of the waste discharge pipe of the waste generating equipment. This is effective for glass waste containing heavy metals, not containing heavy metals, and containing rare elements, through the placement of waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300. Separate collection avoids mixing of different types of waste at the source, ensuring the accuracy of classified collection and storage, and facilitating the subsequent specialized treatment and recycling of various types of glass waste; at the same time, the plug-in structure of the positioning groove 41 facilitates the loading, unloading, cleaning and maintenance of waste recycling bins A100, B200 and C300, and the rotation operation of the turntable 400 eliminates the need for frequent manual handling or replacement of bins, simplifying the operation process, improving the efficiency and convenience of waste collection, and reducing labor costs and operational errors;

[0033] The recycling covers 11 on top of waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300 effectively cover the bin openings, preventing external dust and debris from falling into the bins and contaminating various types of glass waste. This ensures the purity of the waste during collection and avoids introducing additional impurities during subsequent processing. Furthermore, the indicator holes 13 in the center of the three sets of recycling covers 11 are designed with different shapes: the indicator hole 13 on waste recycling bin A100 is diamond-shaped, the one on waste recycling bin B200 is circular, and the one on waste recycling bin C300 is rectangular. This differentiated shape marking allows operators to quickly and intuitively identify the materials visually. It can accurately identify the type of waste corresponding to each recycling bin without the need to look closely at the text labels or rely on memory. This effectively avoids classification confusion caused by similar bin appearances and reduces the probability of misplaced waste. Especially in busy operation scenarios such as rotating the 400-degree rotating recycling bin, it can significantly improve the identification and matching efficiency, ensuring that glass waste containing heavy metals, non-heavy metals, and rare elements are accurately matched to waste recycling bins A100, B200, and C300, respectively. This further enhances the accuracy of classification and collection, and also makes it easier for new operators to quickly familiarize themselves with the operating procedures, reducing training costs and operational errors.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the gravity dust-blocking mechanism 15 includes a baffle 151, a lever seat 152, a drop seat 153, a metal counterweight 154, and a connecting shaft 155. The baffle 151 is a circular structure made of plastic, and the area of ​​the baffle 151 is larger than the bottom area of ​​the limiting cylinder 131.

[0035] A lever seat 152 is fixedly provided at the end of the baffle 151, and a connecting shaft 155 is fixedly inserted inside the lever seat 152. At the same time, both ends of the connecting shaft 155 are movably connected to the inner wall of the barrel 14 through bearings.

[0036] A drop seat 153 is fixedly installed at the end of the lever seat 152 away from the baffle 151, and a metal counterweight 154 is fixedly inserted inside the drop seat 153. The metal counterweight 154 is arranged in a quadrangular prism shape.

[0037] like Figure 2-5 As shown: When waste enters the waste recycling bin A100, the waste impacts the inside of the limiting cylinder 131 through the feeding groove 12 and the indicator hole 13, and then impacts the surface of the baffle 151 through the limiting cylinder 131. The surface of the baffle 151 is subjected to force, causing the baffle 151 to move downward. Under the action of the lever principle, the lower seat 153 and the metal counterweight 154 move upward. When the feeding is completed, the baffle 151 is no longer subjected to force. Under the action of the lower seat 153 and the metal counterweight 154, the baffle 151 moves downward and automatically covers the bottom of the limiting cylinder 131, preventing dust particles inside the waste recycling bin A100 from drifting into the workshop environment through the indicator hole 13.

[0038] When receiving waste, the waste recycling bin A100 precisely guides the waste through the infeed groove 12 and indicator hole 13, impacting the inside of the limiting cylinder 131. The limiting cylinder 131 then acts stably on the surface of the baffle 151, ensuring a stable waste feeding path and preventing waste from spilling outside the recycling bin, thus avoiding waste or pollution. Simultaneously, the baffle 151 moves downwards under pressure, leveraging the lever principle to move the lower dropper 153 and metal counterweight 154 upwards. The entire triggering process requires no manual intervention, relying entirely on the impact force of the waste itself, making it convenient to operate and requiring no additional energy consumption. After feeding is complete, the baffle 151 loses external force and... Under the influence of gravity, the weight 153 and the metal counterweight 154 can automatically reset and move downwards to cover the bottom of the limiting cylinder 131. The automatic closing design can effectively prevent dust particles inside the waste recycling bin A100 from drifting into the workshop environment through the indicator hole 13. This protects the air quality in the workshop, reduces the impact of dust on the health of operators, and avoids secondary pollution caused by dust diffusion. At the same time, it does not require manual closing or the use of electricity or other power sources to maintain the closed state, reducing operating costs and equipment failure risks. This further enhances the environmental friendliness and practicality of the waste recycling bin A100 in the process of sorting and collecting glass waste containing heavy metals.
