Description

  The present invention relates to a waste polystyrene volume reduction machine, and more particularly, to a waste polystyrene volume reduction machine capable of pulverizing and pressing waste waste polystyrene to be recycled.

In general, waste polystyrene is basically recycled by crushing and melting waste polystyrene to reduce the bulkiness, but the grinder for crushing bulky waste polystyrene becomes larger in size. There is a problem that the size of the entire device becomes large.
Furthermore, in the melting stage of pulverized waste polystyrene, the melting temperature must be increased in order to perform melting quickly, so that the original physical properties of the polystyrene change, which may cause the quality of the recycled molded product to deteriorate. It was.

In particular, in order to solve the above-described problems, in Patent Document 1 (Korean Patent No. 10-06501137) filed and patented by the applicant of the present application, when waste polystyrene is introduced into the device body, Waste polystyrene is forcibly moved by a waste polystyrene transfer conveyor and a non-powered conveyor.
In addition, a grinding wheel is provided, and the grinding wheel is provided with a circular grinding blade on a rotating shaft rotated by a driving source, and a cylindrical hub having a constant diameter disposed between the circular grinding blades. , Arranged in a zigzag form. The waste polystyrene is moved by a waste polystyrene transfer conveyor and then crushed by a grinding wheel.
Furthermore, a molding pressing roll is provided, and the molding pressing roll is driven by being engaged with each other. The waste polystyrene is pulverized by the pulverization wheel and then compression-molded by a molding press roll.
As described above, according to the technique of Patent Document 1, waste polystyrene is pulverized and compression-molded to a certain size, thereby minimizing bulkiness and facilitating transportation and storage.

Korean Patent No. 10-06501137

  By the way, the waste polystyrene transfer conveyor has a chain transfer hook attached to the chain so as to forcibly transfer the waste polystyrene. However, waste polystyrene with somewhat weak physical properties adheres to the chain transfer hook, and the interval between the waste polystyrene transfer conveyor and the non-powered conveyor that is the sheet surface becomes constant, and the transfer of waste polystyrene larger than the interval is not possible. This has become inconvenient, requiring the operator to take it out and reduce its bulk or push it in force.

  Further, the grinding wheel has a large number of parts because a hub having an inclined slope portion on a hollow shaft and a circular grinding blade having an inclined slope portion must be arranged at equal intervals. In addition, the precision of processing must be increased so that the hub and the circular crushing blade have a certain slope portion. Therefore, there has been a problem that the manufacturing cost is high.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to transfer waste polystyrene that is put into the apparatus main body together with an appropriate compressive force according to the size of the waste polystyrene. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved waste polystyrene volume reduction machine that can be used.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the position of the other side is variable around a transfer conveyor that transfers waste polystyrene and an idler shaft that is installed above the transfer conveyor and provided on one side. A weight conveyor for transferring the waste polystyrene together with the transfer conveyor, a crushing blade for crushing the waste polystyrene is arranged and fixed in a parabolic curve shape or a spiral shape on the outer peripheral surface, There is provided a waste polystyrene volume reduction machine comprising a compression molding screw that compresses and molds waste polystyrene that has been installed and pulverized.
