TH17649Y - Water hyacinth shredder - Google Patents

Abstract

Page 1 of 1. Summary of the Invention: The water hyacinth shredder has the following components: frame, feeding port, pressing plate, shredding comb, shredding blade set, shredding blade plate, shredding blade holder, outlet, cover, motor, first pulley, second pulley, third pulley, belt tension control shaft, belt tensioner, and wheel. The water hyacinth shredder has a top feeding port for feeding water hyacinth, which is then pressed flat by the pressing plate before being sent to the shredding blade set to shred the water hyacinth into smaller sizes. The shredded water is then sent to the outlet. The motor is the power source, transmitting power via a belt installed on the pulleys to drive the shredder. This water hyacinth shredder is designed for use on land, as when water hyacinth is removed from the water, it begins to release water, causing it to harden. This design increases the efficiency of the shredder, making it easier to use. Each blade is designed independently of its shaft, preventing jamming. This allows the machine to operate continuously, and the spacing of the blades helps reduce heat buildup during blade operation.

Claims (4)

Page 1 of 1. Claims. 1. The water hyacinth shredder has the following components: frame (1), feeding port (2), shredding blade set (5), outlet port (8), motor (10), first pulley (11), second pulley (12), third pulley (13). The frame (1) is a metal frame that supports the water hyacinth shredder and the motor (10). The top of the water hyacinth shredder has a feeding port (2) which is an open pipe at the top for feeding water hyacinth. At the bottom of the feeding port (2) is installed a shredding blade set (5) which shreds the water hyacinth into small pieces and then sends them to the outlet port (8), which is located below the shredding blade set (5) and is a rectangular opening protruding from the front of the water hyacinth shredder. The motor (2) is installed on top of the frame (1) and acts as the power source. It then transmits power to the first pulley (11), which adjusts the speed before sending power to the belt, which connects to the second pulley (12) which is installed on the side of the water hyacinth shredder. It functions to drive the shaft of the shredding blade assembly (5) and is connected to the third pulley (13) by a belt for power transmission. The third pulley (13) drives the shaft of the press plate (3), and at both ends of the shaft of the shredding blade assembly (5) and the shaft of the press plate (3) are bearings supported and locked into the shaft locking screws installed inside the water hyacinth shredder to hold the shredding blade assembly (5) and the shaft of the press plate (3) in place during operation. It has a special feature: at the bottom of the feeding port (2) is installed a press plate (3) which flattens the water hyacinth and moves it into the cutting comb (4) installed at the bottom of the feeding port (2), which stops the incoming water hyacinth so that the shredding blade assembly (5) located below can shred the water hyacinth into smaller sizes. The shredding blade assembly (5) consists of a square-shaped shredding blade (6) with sharp edges at the position The front of the shredding blades (6) are arranged lengthwise along the axis of the shredding blade assembly shaft (5), with the shredding blade holder (7) acting as a fastener between the shredding blades (6) and the shredding blade assembly shaft (5). 2. The water hyacinth shredder, according to claim 1, where on the side of the water hyacinth shredder is fitted a belt tension control shaft (14) which is placed between the first pulley (11) and the second pulley (12) and connected to a belt tension adjuster (15) which is a device for rotating to adjust the tension of the belt. 3. Water hyacinth shredder in accordance with claim 1 or 2, where at the front of the water hyacinth shredder a cover (9) is installed to prevent splashing of water hyacinth fragments while the machine is in operation and can be opened for cleaning and maintenance inside the water hyacinth shredder. 4. A water hyacinth shredder in accordance with any of the claims 1 to 3, in which the underside of the frame (1) is fitted with a number of wheels (16).
