Apparatus for recycling metal scraps

摘要

An apparatus for recycling metal scraps includes a mold having an inner conversion cavity for converting the metal scraps, an inlet disposed in one longitudinal end thereof, and an outlet disposed in the other longitudinal ends thereof, the inlet and the outlet communicating with the cavity; a gate movably mounted near the outlet of the mold so as to open and close the outlet of the mold as the gate moves; a gate actuator moving the gate to an opening or closing position; a scrap feeder supplying the metal scraps into the cavity of the mold, a conversion plunger intruded into the cavity via the inlet of the mold and compacting the metal scraps to form a solid compact having a shape corresponding to the cavity; and a press actuator reciprocating the conversion plunger between inside and outside of the mold so as to provide a conversion pressure.

主权项

1. An apparatus for recycling metal scraps, comprising:
a mold having a cavity for converting the metal scraps, an inlet disposed in one longitudinal end thereof, and an outlet disposed in another longitudinal end thereof, the inlet and the outlet communicating with the cavity; a gate movably mounted near or adjacent the outlet of the mold so as to open and close the outlet; a gate actuator moving the gate to an open or closed position; a scrap feeder for supplying the metal scraps into the cavity of the mold, a conversion plunger intruded into the cavity via the inlet of the mold and compacting the metal scraps to form a solid compact having a shape corresponding to the cavity; a press actuator reciprocating the conversion plunger between inside and outside of the mold so as to provide a conversion pressure; and a mold housing enclosing the mold, wherein the mold comprises a plurality of mold blocks, each of said plurality of mold blocks having an arcuate shape for defining only a circumferential portion of the cavity, wherein each of said plurality of mold blocks are mounted in the mold housing adjacent to each other defining the cavity and radially relative to the cavity, wherein each mold block is adjacent to one mold block of said plurality of mold blocks on its left side and to another of said plurality of mold blocks on its right side opposite its left side as viewed from a front of said outlet, wherein an inner surface of said mold tapers from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter from the inlet in a direction toward the outlet.
