APPARATUS FOR SORTING WASTE GLASS BOTTLE BASED ON SIZE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent clogging with bottles without requiring a forcible driving mechanism by installing transporting plates which are extended in the direction of waste glass bottle flow and inclined at an angle within a specified range to the direction rectangular to the flow direction in a vibration trough and installing gap-forming plates above the inclined lower end parts of the transporting plates at approximately right angles to the transporting plates. ;SOLUTION: Three transporting plates 7 which are extended in the direction of waste glass bottle flow and inclined at an angle within a specified range from 5 to 15° to the direction rectangular to the flow direction are held in a vibration trough at sufficient intervals from each other in the direction rectangular to the flow direction and at the same time the plates 7 are supported by a plurality of approximately saw-tooth-like gap-forming plates 8 and installed in approximately middle parts of the respective sections formed by dividing the vibration trough into three. Gap forming plates 9 which are extended in the same direction as the plates 7 and kept from the respective plates 7 at a prescribed gap S2 are so installed above the inclined lower end parts of those transporting plates 7 at approximately right angles to the transporting plates as to form V-shaped flow routes for waste glass bottles while being supporting by the supporting plates 8. Consequently, without requiring a forcibly driving mechanism, clogging with waste glass bottles can be prevented.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
