Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic processing equipment technology, and in particular to a waste collection mechanism for processing plastic workpieces. Background Technology
[0002] During the processing of plastic parts, such as injection molding, cutting, and engraving, a large amount of plastic waste, debris, and scraps are generated. In order to maintain a clean production environment and facilitate subsequent recycling, specialized waste collection agencies are usually used to collect these wastes centrally.
[0003] Currently, the common method for waste collection is to install an open collection trough or box under the processing equipment. Operators periodically sweep the waste or use airflow to transport it into the collection trough. When the waste in the collection trough accumulates to a certain amount, it is then removed for cleaning. However, this simple collection method has significant drawbacks: because plastic waste (especially flake and strip fragments) has low density and is loose, and contains many gaps when piled up, the effective volume utilization rate of the collection trough is extremely low. This causes the collection trough to fill up quickly, requiring operators to stop the machine very frequently for unloading, which not only increases labor intensity but also seriously affects the continuous operating efficiency of the processing equipment and reduces overall production efficiency.
[0004] To alleviate the aforementioned problems, some waste collection devices with compression functions have emerged in the prior art. These devices typically employ unidirectional compression, where a hydraulic or pneumatic compression plate is installed on one side of the collection tank, periodically pushing and compressing the waste in the tank to the other side. While this method can reduce the volume of waste to some extent, it suffers from uneven compression and a tendency to form "arched" accumulations. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a waste collection mechanism that can more efficiently and uniformly compress plastic waste, significantly improve the volume utilization rate of the collection tank, and effectively reduce the frequency of discharge. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a waste collection mechanism for plastic workpiece processing to address the technical problems of insufficient compression efficiency and uniformity in existing waste collection devices with compression functions.
[0006] A waste collection mechanism for processing plastic workpieces includes a collection tank, a first compression component, and a second compression component. The collection tank is configured as an open tank with one side open. The first compression component is disposed on one side of the collection tank, and its output end extends into the inner wall of the collection tank. The second compression component is disposed on the other side of the collection tank opposite to the first compression component, and its output end extends into the inner wall of the collection tank.
[0007] The first compression assembly includes a first drive unit and a first pressure plate. The first drive unit is disposed on the adjacent side of the collection tank along the length direction of the collection tank and is installed and connected to the outer wall of the collection tank. The first pressure plate is connected to the output end of the first drive unit and housed in the collection tank, and the edge of the first pressure plate is slidably engaged with the inner wall surface of the collection tank.
[0008] The second compression assembly includes a second drive unit and a second pressure plate. The second drive unit is disposed on the adjacent side of the collection tank along the length direction of the collection tank and is installed and connected to the outer wall of the collection tank. The second pressure plate is connected to the output end of the second drive unit and housed in the collection tank, and the edge of the second pressure plate slides in engagement with the inner wall surface of the collection tank.
[0009] In one embodiment, the collection tank is provided with a sieve plate, which is disposed at the bottom of the collection tank, and the sieve plate and the bottom wall of the collection tank are spaced apart by a preset distance to form a receiving space with a certain volume.
[0010] In one embodiment, the top surface of the sieve plate slides against the bottom end of the first pressure plate and the bottom end of the second pressure plate.
[0011] In one embodiment, the first drive unit is configured as an electric slide module, and the first drive unit extends along the length direction of the sieve plate.
[0012] In one embodiment, the second drive unit is configured as an electric slide module, and the second drive unit is disposed parallel to the first drive unit on the other side of the collection tank.
[0013] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the collection tank is arranged parallel to the sieve plate.
[0014] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the collection trough is inclined at a preset angle relative to the sieve plate to form an inclined guiding plane.
[0015] In one embodiment, the collection tank is further provided with a discharge port, which is located at one end of the collection tank.
[0016] In one embodiment, the discharge port is provided with a movable door, which is fitted to the discharge port and movably connected to the collection tank.
[0017] In one embodiment, the first drive unit and the second drive unit described above are respectively connected to the outer wall of the collection tank via several connecting seats.
[0018] In one embodiment, each of the above-mentioned connecting seats includes an L-shaped folding plate and a mounting beam, one end of the L-shaped folding plate is connected to the mounting beam, and the other end of the L-shaped folding plate is connected to the collection trough; the first driving unit and the second driving unit are mounted and connected to a plurality of mounting beams.
[0019] In one embodiment, each of the L-shaped folds described above is provided with a reinforcing rib on its inner side.
[0020] In one embodiment, the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate are respectively connected to the slide surface of the corresponding first drive unit and the slide surface of the second drive unit via L-shaped connecting plates.
[0021] In one embodiment, both the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate are configured as perforated plates.
[0022] The first and second compression components of the aforementioned waste collection mechanism for plastic workpiece processing can work together to compress in opposite directions, squeezing the waste from both sides simultaneously. This results in a tighter integration within the collection trough, significantly reducing gaps between waste materials and improving the volume utilization rate of the collection trough. This allows the collection trough to store more compressed waste material in the same space. Through intermittent bidirectional compression, the waste material is continuously compressed and integrated, increasing the effective capacity of the collection trough. This reduces the waste accumulation rate and the frequency of emptying the collection trough, saving time and labor costs and improving the continuity and efficiency of the overall processing. The first and second pressure plates are driven by the first and second drive units respectively, sliding back and forth along the length of the collection trough. The edges of the pressure plates slide against the inner wall of the collection trough, ensuring uniform distribution of compression force and preventing skewing or uneven accumulation of waste material during unilateral compression, thus achieving more thorough waste integration.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model discloses a waste collection mechanism 1 for processing plastic workpieces. The waste collection mechanism 1 includes a collection tank 10, a first compression component 20, and a second compression component 30. The collection tank 10 is configured as an open tank with one side open. The first compression component 20 is disposed on one side of the collection tank 10, and the output end of the first compression component 20 extends into the inner wall of the collection tank 10. The second compression component 30 is disposed on the other side of the collection tank 10 opposite to the first compression component 20, and the output end of the second compression component 30 extends into the inner wall of the collection tank 10. Based on this, the first compression component 20 can work with the second compression component 30 to compress the waste collected in the collection tank 10 in both directions, thereby effectively improving the volume utilization rate of the collection tank 10 and reducing the discharge frequency of the collection tank 10. Specifically, the first compression assembly 20 includes a first drive unit 21 and a first pressure plate 22. The first drive unit 21 is disposed on the adjacent side of the collection tank 10 along the length direction of the collection tank 10 and is installed and connected to the outer wall of the collection tank 10. The first pressure plate 22 is connected to the output end of the first drive unit 21 and is housed in the collection tank 10. The edge of the first pressure plate 22 is slidably engaged with the inner wall surface of the collection tank 10. Thus, the first drive unit 21 can drive the first pressure plate 22 to reciprocate along the length direction of the collection tank 10 to push the waste material collected in the collection tank 10 in a preset direction. Similarly, the second compression assembly 30 includes a second drive unit 31 and a second pressure plate 32. The second drive unit 31 is disposed on the adjacent side of the collection tank 10 along the length direction of the collection tank 10 and is installed and connected to the outer wall of the collection tank 10. The second pressure plate 32 is connected to the output end of the second drive unit 31 and is housed in the collection tank 10. The edge of the second pressure plate 32 slides in cooperation with the inner wall surface of the collection tank 10. Thus, the second drive unit 31 can drive the second pressure plate 32 to slide back and forth along the length direction of the collection tank 10 to push the waste in the collection tank 10 in a preset direction. Then, by cooperating with the first pressure plate 22, the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32 can compress the waste from both sides, thereby realizing the intermittent compression and integration of the waste by the collection mechanism 1.Based on the above configuration, the first compression component 20 and the second compression component 30 of the waste collection mechanism 1 for plastic workpiece processing in this solution can work together to compress in opposite directions, so that the waste is squeezed from both sides at the same time, thereby more tightly integrating it into the collection tank 10, significantly reducing the gaps between the waste, improving the volume utilization rate of the collection tank 10, and allowing the collection tank 10 to store more compressed waste in the same space; through intermittent bidirectional compression, the waste is continuously compressed and integrated, increasing the effective capacity of the collection tank 10, thereby reducing the waste accumulation speed and reducing the frequency of emptying the collection tank 10, thus saving time and labor costs, and improving the continuity and efficiency of the overall processing process; the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32 are driven by the first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 31 respectively, and slide back and forth along the length direction of the collection tank 10, and the edge of the pressure plate slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the collection tank 10, thereby ensuring uniform distribution of compression force, preventing the problem of skewing or uneven accumulation of waste that may occur when the waste is compressed on one side, and making the waste integration more thorough.
[0031] Furthermore, the collection tank 10 is provided with a sieve plate 11, which is located at the bottom of the collection tank 10. The sieve plate 11 and the bottom wall of the collection tank 10 are spaced apart by a preset distance to form a receiving space with a certain volume. Thus, the waste collected in the collection tank 10 first falls onto the top surface of the sieve plate 11. Waste particles smaller than a preset particle size can fall through the sieve plate 11 into the receiving space at the bottom of the sieve plate 11, thereby achieving the separation and collection of small particle waste. Specifically, the top surface of the sieve plate 11 slides and abuts against the bottom end of the first pressure plate 22 and the bottom end of the second pressure plate 32, so that the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32 can fully press the waste on the top surface of the sieve plate 11.
[0032] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first drive unit 21 is configured as an electric slide module, and the first drive unit 21 extends along the length direction of the sieve plate 11, so that the first pressure plate 22 can reciprocate along a trajectory parallel to the length direction of the sieve plate 11.
[0033] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the second drive unit 31 is configured as an electric slide module, and the second drive unit 31 is arranged parallel to the first drive unit 21 on the other side of the collection tank 10, so that the second pressure plate 32, in conjunction with the first pressure plate 22, can reciprocate along a trajectory parallel to the length direction of the sieve plate 11.
[0034] In one embodiment, more specifically, the bottom wall of the collection tank 10 is arranged parallel to the screen plate 11 to form a stable supporting plane, thereby stably collecting small particle waste. In another embodiment, the bottom wall of the collection tank 10 extends at a predetermined angle relative to the screen plate 11 to form an inclined guiding plane. Waste falling through the screen plate 11 onto the bottom wall of the collection tank 10 can slide along the inclined bottom wall to one end of the lower part of the bottom wall of the collection tank 10 under the action of gravity, so as to facilitate the centralized discharge of small particle waste.
[0035] Furthermore, the collection tank 10 is also provided with a discharge port a, which is located at one end of the collection tank 10 to form a discharge channel, so that small particles of waste material on the bottom side of the screen plate 11 and the bottom wall surface of the collection tank 10 can be discharged through the discharge port a. Specifically, the discharge port a is provided with a movable door 12, which is fitted to the discharge port a and movably connected to the collection tank 10.
[0036] Furthermore, the first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 31 are respectively connected to the outer wall of the collection tank 10 through several connecting seats 40, thereby achieving a stable connection between the first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 31 and the collection tank 10. Specifically, each connecting seat 40 includes an L-shaped folding plate 41 and a mounting beam 42. One end of the L-shaped folding plate 41 is connected to the mounting beam 42, and the other end of the L-shaped folding plate 41 is connected to the collection tank 10, thereby forming a mounting seat structure. Based on this, the first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 31 are mounted and connected to several mounting beams 42 to achieve stable installation and enhance the movement stability of the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32.
[0037] In one embodiment, specifically, each L-shaped fold 41 is provided with a reinforcing rib 411 on its inner side to enhance the mechanical strength of the L-shaped fold 41.
[0038] Furthermore, the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32 are respectively connected to the slide surface of the corresponding first drive unit 21 and the slide surface of the second drive unit 31 through the L-shaped connecting plate 50, thereby achieving stable installation of the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32.
[0039] In one embodiment, specifically, both the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32 are perforated plates, so that the waste can be laterally screened during the pressing process of the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32. Small particles of waste can be separated from large-volume waste through the through holes on the surface of the first pressure plate 22 and the second pressure plate 32, and then fall into the screen plate 11 for further vertical screening.
[0040] In summary, the first and second compression components of the waste collection mechanism for plastic workpiece processing disclosed in this utility model can work together to compress in opposite directions, so that the waste is squeezed from both sides simultaneously, thereby more tightly integrating it into the collection tank. This significantly reduces the gaps between the waste materials, improves the volume utilization rate of the collection tank, and allows the collection tank to store more compressed waste in the same space. Through intermittent bidirectional compression, the waste is continuously compressed and integrated, increasing the effective capacity of the collection tank. This reduces the waste accumulation rate and the frequency of emptying the collection tank, thereby saving time and labor costs and improving the continuity and efficiency of the overall processing. The first and second pressure plates are driven by the first and second drive units respectively, and slide back and forth along the length of the collection tank. The edges of the pressure plates slide against the inner wall of the collection tank, which ensures uniform distribution of compression force and prevents the waste from tilting or unevenly accumulating when compressed on one side, making the waste integration more thorough.
[0041] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0042] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
