Description

[0001] APPARATUS FOR SMASHING COOLING TOWER FILLER [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a crushing apparatus for recycling a cooling tower filler, and more particularly, to a crushing apparatus for recycling a cooling tower filler for recycling a pillar used for a cooling tower.

Conventional cooling towers are provided with pillars in which a plurality of plastic panels are overlapped.

The filler is formed by stacking a plurality of thin plastic panels to form a box shape, and a plurality of pillar boxes are installed in the cooling tower so that cooling water passes between the respective pillars.

The plurality of pillars are formed on the surface with a plurality of holes and projections to be engaged in a state in which they are not in contact with each other.

However, due to such protrusions, the floating matters in the cooling water are accumulated and the circulation and cooling of the cooling water are not properly performed due to the floating matters accumulated in the projections.

Therefore, the cooling pillars of the cooling tower have to be replaced periodically.

On the other hand, the filler of such a cooling tower is formed of a plastic material, and floating matters such as soil or rust are deposited on the surface thereof, which makes it difficult to recycle. Moreover, the amount of filler discharged from one cooling tower is considerable, And therefore, there is a problem in that it is costly to carry it to the disposal or recycling place at the time of exchange.

Therefore, in order to minimize the cost of the recycling process, while replacing the pillars of the cooling tower periodically, it was necessary to crush the replacement filler in the field with a simple equipment and transport the same.

In addition, it is necessary to wash the crushed filler in a recyclable state at the same time as the crushing of the filler, and to prevent the surrounding environment from being contaminated at the same time while allowing the crushing operation to proceed rapidly and continuously.

A conventional filler shredding apparatus for achieving this object is known from Korean Patent No. 10-1387427 (Apr. 24, 2014).

According to the present invention, the filler, which is composed of the housing, the crusher, and the feeder, is crushed by the crusher, and the crushing of the filler pieces is prevented.

However, according to the present invention, only the conveying force of the conveyor for loading the subsequent filler is applied to the structure for applying the filler to the inside of the housing, and it is impossible to prevent the backflow and scattering of the filler pieces generated by breaking the loaded filler .

Therefore, there is a demand for a pillar shredding apparatus in which such a problem of back flow scattering is solved.

It should be understood that the foregoing description of the background art is merely for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the background of the present invention and is not to be construed as an admission that the prior art is known to those skilled in the art.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

The present invention relates to a filler (F) which is installed inside a housing (100), in which a filler (F) is filled in a filler (F '), A conveyor 600 for conveying the filler pieces F 'by receiving the filler pieces F' crushed by the crusher 200 from the ejection openings; a conveyor 600 for conveying the filler F to the introduction ports; And a roller module 300 installed in the inlet so as to allow the filler F to enter the inside of the housing 100 and prevent the backflow of the filler F or the filler piece F '.

The crusher 200 crushes the filler F into a filler F 'to reduce the volume of the filler F and to clean the filler F. [ . The shredded filler pieces F 'are conveyed by a certain amount through the conveyor 600 and conveyed to a vibration screener and / or a bubble cleaner to be described later.

It is preferable that the housing 100 is installed at a predetermined height from the ground due to the fact that the filler F is broken in the housing 100 and the resulting filler pieces F 'are discharged to the bottom of the housing. That is, the housing 100 must be separated from the ground so that the conveyor 600 can be positioned below the housing 100.

The conveyor 400 is configured to transfer the filler F to the inlet of the housing 100. The conventional crushing apparatus is provided with a conveyor at a higher position than the introduction port so that the kinetic energy of the filler F, A method of charging the filler F into the housing 100 is used.

In the present invention, however, since the roller module 300 for loading the filler F directly into the housing 100 is installed, the constraint disappears and the conveyor 400 is moved upward from the paper surface to the inlet of the housing 100 . That is, conventionally, the filler F is raised to a position higher than the housing 100 and then charged into the housing 100 through the conveyor. However, according to the present invention, the filler F is loaded on the conveyor 400 So that the filler F can be loaded into the housing 100.

In this way, the filler F can be charged directly from the paper surface, so that no additional power is required to raise the filler F, and the apparatus can be made more compact.

In the present invention, however, the inlet port of the housing 100 is closed with a simple opening / closing door to prevent the backward flow of the filler pieces F '. However, in the present invention, the roller module 300 is installed in the inlet, It is possible to simultaneously perform the role of preventing the backflow of the piece F '. The detailed configuration and operation method of the roller module 300 will be described later.

The feeder 600 is formed in a cylindrical shape and is obliquely formed so as to be higher from one end to the other end. The feeder 600 is positioned below the ejection port and receives the filler piece F ' A screw shaft 610 is installed to feed the filler piece F 'from one end of the conveyor to the other end.

As the screw shaft 610 inside the conveyor 600 rotates, the filler pieces F 'filled in the space between the wings of the screw shaft 610 and the wings are conveyed, whereby the conveyed filler pieces F' ) Can be relatively evenly distributed. In addition, the wings of the screw shaft 610 are brought into contact with the inner surface of the conveyor 600, so that the filler pieces F 'having a small size can be conveyed without flowing out.

The vibration screener 800 or the bubble cleaner 700 may be installed at the lower end of the conveyor 600. If the number of foreign substances adhered to the filler pieces F 'is small and can be immediately recycled, the cleaning process may be omitted and the filler pieces F' may be classified and stored in the vibration screener 800, have. The reason for separating the filler pieces F 'by size is that the method of recycling or the transportation method is changed depending on the size of the filler pieces F'.

When a large amount of foreign matter is mixed in the filler pieces F ', a bubble washing machine 700 may be used to clean the filler pieces F'. Since the detailed configuration of the bubble cleaner 700 is out of the scope of the present invention, although it is not shown here, it will be briefly described that air bubbles are generated in the bottom surface of the bubble cleaner 700 filled with the cleaning fluid, The foreign matter is separated from the filler pieces F ', and the filler pieces with the foreign substances separated are packed after being dried, so that the volume is reduced and the transfer operation can be smooth.

1 and 5, the roller module 300 includes an upper module 310 provided above the inlet and a lower module 320 provided below the inlet.

The upper module 310 also includes a plurality of upper rollers and an elevator 330 that all rotate in the same direction. For convenience of explanation, a plurality of upper rollers are defined as a first roller to a fourth roller. At this time, the first roller 311 is the roller nearest to the crusher 200, and the fourth roller 314 is the roller far from the crusher 200.

The first roller 311 to the fourth roller 314 are integrally rotatably installed around the central axis of the first roller 311. That is, the first roller 311, the second roller 312, the third roller 313 and the fourth roller 314 are arranged in parallel to come into contact with the upper surface of the pillar F, The fourth roller 314 is lowered to contact the rear surface of the pillar F so that the upper rollers maintain contact with the filler F continuously.

When the upper rollers and the filler F maintain contact with each other, the inlet F is closed by the filler F and the upper roller so that the filler F 'can be prevented from flowing back through the inlet .

It is necessary to connect the elevator 330 to at least one of the second roller 312 to the fourth roller 314, preferably the rotary shaft of the fourth roller 314, in order to rotate the upper rollers.

The elevator 330 is installed on the outside of the housing 100, preferably above the inlet, and is connected to the fourth roller 314 via the connecting means 331. The fourth roller 314 ascends and descends as the elevator 330 moves up and down the connecting means 331 and the rotational axis of the fourth roller 314 is fixed to the first roller 311 because the rotational axis of the first roller 311 is fixed, 311 as the center of rotation.

The connecting means 331 may be in the form of a cable, or may be in the form of an angled or resilient bar. In the case of a bar shape, an angle changing means may be provided at a connecting portion between the connecting means 331 and the elevator 330.

As the upper rollers rotate integrally, the upper and the upper rollers of the filler F can always be kept in contact with each other. The upper rollers in contact with the pillars F themselves move the pillars F toward the crusher 200 while rotating.

The lower module 320 includes a plurality of lower rollers all rotating in the same direction. The lower rollers are defined as a fifth roller 321 and a sixth roller 322 for convenience of explanation.

The positions of the fifth roller 321 and the sixth roller 322 are fixed, and the fifth roller 321 and the sixth roller 322 abut the lower portion of the pillow F to support the fifth roller 321 and the sixth roller 322. The lower rollers rotate to move the filler F toward the crusher.

That is, since the filler F enters the inside of the housing 100 while being sandwiched between the upper roller and the lower roller, the filler pieces F 'can not flow back through the inlet.

Although there are shown four upper rollers and two lower rollers on the drawing, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the number of the upper and lower rollers can be adjusted as needed.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, You will understand.

It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
