Cross-reference of related applications

  This application is incorporated by reference in its entirety, and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0147561, filed October 22, 2015 Insist on the benefits of priority under Article 119 of the Act.

  The present disclosure relates generally to a glass crusher. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a glass crusher whose structure has excellent wear resistance.

  Waste glass is generally recycled into base glass after pulverization and melting. Prior to melting the glass cullet, the glass is ground into a glass cullet having the intended size using a glass grinder.

  1 and 2 are perspective views schematically showing a related-art glass crusher.

  The glass crusher shown in FIG. 1 includes a shaft 10, an end disk 20, a central disk 30, a support bar 40, and an impact hammer 50.

  Glass is supplied from above to a glass crusher. The supplied glass falls downward due to gravity. The falling glass is crushed into small particles of cullet by being struck by an impact hammer 50. The crushed glass cullet falls downward and is then collected. The collected glass cullet is recycled as a base glass through a melting process.

  The shaft 10 rotates about its rotation axis. The end disk 20 and the central disk 30 are fixed to the shaft 10 and rotate together with the shaft 10. The central disk 30 is disposed between the end disks 20.

  The end disk 20 and the center disk 30 have a plurality of through holes in corresponding portions. The support bar 40 is fixed through corresponding through holes in the end disk 20 and the central disk 30. In FIG. 1, two end disks 20, three central disks 30, and three support bars 40 are shown.

  The impact hammer 50 is disposed on the support bar 40. In FIG. 1, four impact hammers 50 are shown disposed on each of the support bars 40. Therefore, a total of 12 impact hammers 50 are arranged on the three support rods 40 in FIG.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the glass crusher may further include an impact block 60. The primary crushing is performed when the glass falling from the upper chute is hit with the impact hammer 50, and the secondary crushing is performed when a part of the hit glass collides with the impact block 60.

  3A and 3B are diagrams showing the wear of the shaft-disk assembly comprising the shaft 10 of the glass crusher shown in FIG. 1 and the disks 20 and 30, and FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams. It is a figure which shows wear of the impact hammer 50 of the glass crusher shown by 1. FIG.

  In the related art glass crusher described above, the central disk 30 is positioned in the region where the glass supplied thereto is crushed. The central disk 30 is continuously worn by the glass.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, unlike the initial state of FIG. 3A, the view of FIG. 3B shows that after use over a certain period of time, the periphery of the central disk 30 is significantly worn. Show.

  The central disk 30 serves to maintain the distance between the impact hammers 50. When the center disk 30 is further worn due to oversight of the ongoing wear, even the through hole portion of the center disk 30 is eroded. In this case, the central disk 30 can no longer serve to maintain the distance between the impact hammers 50. Therefore, there is a possibility that the impact hammer 50 moves in the axial direction of the shaft 10, so that the wear of the central disk 30 is accelerated.

  In addition, if the central disk 30 becomes more eroded, the impact hammers 50 may collide with each other. As a result, the wear speed of the impact hammer 50 is accelerated and a collision sound is generated. Furthermore, in a serious case, the support rod 40 may be damaged, and the impact hammer 50 may be detached therefrom.

  As mentioned above, the related art glass grinder has a relatively short operating life due to its problematic, low wear resistance construction.

  Furthermore, there is a possibility that metal powder equal to the amount lost due to wear may be mixed into the glass cullet, which may reduce the purity of the recycled glass.

  A worn component needs to be replaced after it has been used for its allowable operating life. This entails regular replacement costs. In addition, since the pulverization operation must be stopped for replacement, the operation efficiency of the facility is reduced.

  In addition, the end disk 20, center disk 30, and impact hammer 50 are vulnerable to wear when considering related art crusher materials.

  The information disclosed in the Background section is provided solely for a better understanding of the background art, and this information will form an admission that any prior art will be known to those skilled in the art. It should not be taken as an indication of that form.

  Various aspects of the present disclosure provide a glass grinder whose structure has excellent wear resistance.

  A glass grinder is also provided in which the material has excellent wear resistance.

  According to one aspect, the glass grinder includes a shaft; two ends connected to the shaft so as to define a working area for supplying glass between the two ends; and the two ends There may be at least one impact hammer disposed between the parts, wherein the shaft extends through the central rotational axis of the two ends.

  At least one impact hammer can be pivotally connected to the shaft between the two ends.

  Each impact hammer can include a handle and a head. The proximal end of the handle may be pivotally connected to the shaft and the head may be formed at the distal end of the handle.

  According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a glass crusher having a structure with excellent wear resistance.

  The methods and apparatus of the present disclosure will become apparent from and described in further detail in the accompanying drawings incorporated herein and the following detailed description that serves to explain certain principles of the present disclosure. Has other features and advantages.

  In order that those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains may now readily practice the present disclosure, a detailed description of a glass grinder according to the present disclosure, the embodiments of which are shown in the accompanying drawings and described below To be mentioned.

  Throughout this document, reference should be made to the drawings, wherein the same reference numerals and symbols are used throughout the different drawings to designate the same or similar components. In the following description, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and components incorporated herein are omitted where the subject matter of the present disclosure is obscured by their inclusion.

  FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view schematically illustrating a glass grinder according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

  Glass is supplied from above to the glass crusher 400. The supplied glass falls downward due to gravity. The falling glass is crushed into small particles of cullet by being struck by an impact hammer 500. The crushed glass cullet falls downward and is then collected. The recovered glass cullet can be recycled into the base glass through, for example, a melting process.

  The glass crusher 400 according to this embodiment includes a shaft 100, two ends 200, and at least one impact hammer 500. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the shaft 100 extends through the central rotational axis of the two ends 200. In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, at least one impact hammer 500 rotates about the central axis of rotation of the two ends 200.

  The shaft 100 rotates around the central axis of the two ends. The shaft 100 is driven by a drive unit (not shown). The shaft 100 includes a shaft main body 110 and a protruding portion 120. The shaft body 110 is a body that extends in the axial direction of the shaft 100. The protrusion 120 protrudes outward from the shaft body 110. The protrusions 120 are components connected to the impact hammer 500, and therefore the number of protrusions 120 corresponds to the number of impact hammers 500. Referring to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, four protrusions 120 are provided. However, in other embodiments, more or less than four protrusions may be used.

  FIG. 5 shows a structure in which each of the protrusions 120 includes a first protrusion 121, a second protrusion 125, and a fixing member 123. The first protrusion 121 can be formed integrally with the shaft main body 110 and protrudes outward from the shaft main body 110. The 1st protrusion part 121 and the 2nd protrusion part 125 are equipped with the fitting holes 121a and 125a in the corresponding position. The fixing member 123 serves to fix the second protrusion 125 to the first protrusion 121 and is fitted into the fitting hole 121a of the first protrusion 121 and the fitting hole 125a of the second protrusion 125. It is. The second protrusion 125 has two pivot pins 125b. The two pivot pins 125b protrude from the main body of the second protrusion 125 in the opposing axial direction. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 provides a structure in which the first protrusion 121, the second protrusion 125, and the fixing member 123 are assembled together, but this is merely an example. For example, a single protrusion or various other modified configurations are possible. In addition, the protrusion 120 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 can be replaced with an embodiment in which a recess is formed in the shaft body 110 and an impact hammer 500 is connected to an inner portion of the recess. That is, those skilled in the art can easily make any modifications as long as the impact hammer 500 can be pivotally connected to the shaft 100.

  The two end portions 200 are fixedly connected to the shaft 100 such that the two end portions 200 rotate together with the shaft 100 around the central rotational axis of the two end portions 200. Further, the two end portions 200 are separated from each other such that the area between the two end portions 200 defines a work area. The working area is an area where glass is supplied and the supplied glass is crushed. Typically, the glass is supplied to the glass grinder by dropping from above, but the present disclosure is not so limited. The end 200 typically has the shape of a disc, but the present disclosure is not so limited.

  The impact hammer 500 is positioned between the end portions 200, that is, in the work area. This means that none of the impact hammers are positioned outside either end 200 in the axial direction. Therefore, the glass is not crushed outside the end portion 200.

  Compared to the related art glass crusher, the glass crusher according to the embodiment of FIG. 5 does not have a central disc positioned between the ends (end discs). As a result, this configuration can overcome the problems caused by the related art worn center disk.

  In addition, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the impact hammer 500 is directly connected to the shaft 100 while the support bar 40 of the related art glass grinder is removed. The impact hammer 500 is pivotally connected to the shaft 100 such that each pivot axis of the hammer 500 is disposed in the radial direction of the shaft 100 so as to be separated from the rotation axis of the shaft.

  Each impact hammer 500 includes a head 510 and a handle 520. One end (proximal end) of the handle 520 is pivotally connected to the shaft 100. The head 510 is disposed at the distal end of the handle 520. The handle 520 has two prongs at the proximal end. In FIG. 5, each of the protrusions 120 is fitted between two protrusions of the corresponding impact hammer 500. With this configuration, the movement of the impact hammer 500 in the axial direction of the shaft 100 is maintained, thereby preventing the impact hammers 500 from colliding with each other.

  Each of the impact hammers 500 is pivotally connected to the corresponding protrusion 120. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the hook 520 a is formed as a protrusion, and the pivot pin 125 b of the protrusion 120 is fitted into the hook 520 a so that the handle 520 is pivotally connected to the protrusion 120. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the shape of a pin or the shape of a hook is not essential. In addition, the present embodiment can be modified such that a hook is formed on the protrusion 120 and a pin is formed on the handle 520. Furthermore, a single hook and a single pivot pin may be used in place of the two branched hooks 520a.

  The glass grinder 400 of the present disclosure includes at least one row of impact hammers. Impact hammers belonging to the same row can be separated from each other in the axial direction of the shaft 100. Two rows of impact hammers 500 are shown in FIG.

  In addition, the glass grinder 400 of the present disclosure includes at least one row of impact hammers. Impact hammers belonging to the same row can be separated from each other in the circumferential direction of the shaft 100. Two rows of impact hammers are shown in FIG. The distance between the impact hammers 500 in the axial direction of the shaft 100 should be kept to a minimum. When the space between the impact hammers 500 is large, acceleration of wear may occur in the portion of the impact hammer 500 adjacent to the space.

  Although FIG. 5 shows impact hammers 500 aligned in rows and columns, the present disclosure is not so limited. For example, in the present embodiment, the impact hammers 500 are arranged only in rows (ie, the impact hammers 500 are arranged so as to deviate from the straight columns) or are arranged only in columns (ie, the impact hammers 500). May be arranged to deviate from a straight line). In addition, the impact hammer 500 may be arranged in neither row nor column form.

  Unlike the four rows of impact hammers shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a two rows of impact hammers 500 are provided in accordance with the embodiment shown in FIG. Thus, it is possible to reduce the corner area of the impact hammer 500 that would otherwise be worn first, thereby improving the wear resistance of the impact hammer 500. This structural improvement according to this embodiment can significantly improve the wear resistance. Similarly, a single row of impact hammers 500 may be preferred over a dual row impact hammer 500. As a result, intensive wear at the corners of the impact hammer can be prevented.

  In order to further increase the wear resistance, the two ends 200 and the impact hammer 500 may be formed, for example, from a carbon steel cladding with tungsten carbide (WC).

  When such a material is used in combination with a structural improvement according to the present disclosure (an improvement from the structure shown in FIG. 1 to the structure shown in FIG. 5), the operating life of the glass crusher is reduced to that of a conventional glass crusher. In comparison, for example, it can be significantly increased from about 5000 tons to at least about 11488 tons.

  The increased wear resistance produced by the glass grinder according to embodiments of the present disclosure can significantly reduce the amount of metal powder that can be incorporated into the glass cullet. Therefore, it is possible to produce recycled glass having excellent quality. It is also possible to reduce the replacement cost and greatly improve the operating efficiency of the facility.

  The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure has been presented with reference to the drawings. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present disclosure to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be appreciated that many modifications and changes will occur to those skilled in the art in light of the above teachings. Is possible.

  Therefore, the scope of the present disclosure should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but is intended to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
