Abstract
The present invention relates to a waste fluorescent light end-cutting device. The waste fluorescent light end-cutting device includes a conveyor transferring a waste fluorescent light, a heating wire disposed on each of both sides of the conveyor, a cooling wire subsequently disposed on a rear side of the heating wire, and a suction duct disposed between the cooling wire and the heating wire. A base cap is separated from the waste fluorescent light by using a temperature difference between the heating wire and the cooling wire.
Claims2
A waste fluorescent light end-cutting device comprising:
- a conveyor configured to transfer a waste fluorescent light;
- heat-insulation blocks each disposed on each side of the conveyor along a longitudinal direction of the conveyor;
- a heating wire inserted into each heat-insulation block;
- a cutting knife installed at the each heat-insulation block and including:
- a lower portion connected with the heating wire inserted into the each heat-insulation block, and
- a blade exposed above the each heat-insulation block and configured to contact with and heat a base cap of the waste fluorescent light being transferred by the conveyor;
- a cooling tube disposed on a rear side of each heat-insulation block and configured to cool the base cap heated by the blade such that the base cap is separated from the waste fluorescent light by a temperature difference between the heating wire and the cooling tube;
- and
- a suction duct disposed above the conveyor between the cooling tube and the heating wire.
