It consists of a waste material sorting device lb and a third non-ferrous waste material sorting device lc.
- each of the non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc since the basic structure of each of the non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc is almost the same, among the configurations of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc, The same or corresponding components as those of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la mainly includes a sorting tank 5 filled with water, vertical pulsation means 6 for pulsating the water in the sorting tank 5 in the vertical direction, and vertically moving the sorting tank 5 up and down.
- the mesh force of 7 also includes a rotary valve 10 for collecting the dropped linear waste material.
- the sorting tank 5 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a substantially square planar cross section.
- an input port 11 for mixed waste material is provided, and an appropriate amount of mixed waste material is supplied by a water wheel feeder 12 together with water.
- a collection port 13 is provided on the opposite side of the input port 11 so that the waste material settled in the lowermost layer on the sorting screen unit 7, which is a relatively long copper wire debris and noise, is supplied to the rotary feeder 9. It plays the role of pulling in by the suction force of.
- a supply / exhaust port 62 communicating with an air chamber 61 described later is formed on a side wall of the sorting tank 5.
- the vertical pulsation means 6 mainly includes an air chamber 61 provided in the separation tank 5, an air blower 63 for supplying air to the air chamber 61 through a supply / exhaust port 62, and the air blower 63. And an air valve 64 for adjusting the supply / exhaust timing of the power supply.
- the lower end of the air chamber 61 is opened, and the upper roof 61a is formed in a mountain shape.
- the air blower 63 stores the pressurized air in an air tank 65 connected to each air valve 64.
- the air valve 64 is configured by, for example, a rotary valve, and is rotated by a valve motor 66 to open and close, and supplies and exhausts the air chamber 61.
- the supply and exhaust timing of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc are synchronized, and the supply and exhaust timing of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb is shifted by half the phase.
- the air in the air chamber 61 at the time of descending is intermittently discharged during the vertical pulsation cycle of water. I noticed and stopped the descent temporarily. When descending again, descend strongly and quickly. This is because the sedimentation speed of substances with different specific gravities causes the most noticeable disparity when falling from a stationary state, so that sorting based on specific gravity is effectively performed using this principle. .
- the air in the air chamber 61 is intermittently exhausted, the descent of the water is temporarily stopped, and the descent is started again, thereby amplifying the sedimentation speed of the waste materials having different specific gravities. It comes to sort more accurately.
- the sorting screen section 7 includes a floor net 71 fixed in the sorting tank 5, a partition wall 72 that divides the floor net 71 into a plurality of sections, and a plurality of granular materials 73 laid in each section.
- the floor net 71 is formed in a substantially square shape having substantially the same shape as the plane cross section of the sorting tank 5, and has a mesh size large enough not to drop the particulate matter 73.
- the partition wall 72 is erected in a substantially vertical direction on the floor net 71, and divides the floor net 71 into a plurality of sections as shown in FIG.
- the granules 73 are composed of spherical bodies having an appropriate specific gravity, such as stainless steel balls and ceramic balls, and are laid in each section to limit the amount of water passing therethrough.
- the particle size of the particulate matter 73 laid in the section on the input port 11 side is smaller than that on the recovery port 13 side. This is to arbitrarily limit the amount of water that can be pushed upward by the pulsation of the water by the vertical pulsation means 6 to pass through the sorting screen unit 7 so as to increase in accordance with the distance from the collection unit 13.
- the water flow is weak at the recovery port 13 side and the flow velocity is small, and the water flow at the input port 11 side is strong and the flow velocity is high.
- the amount of passing water is not limited to the configuration in which the particle size of the granular material 73 is adjusted. By reducing the laying density of the granular material 73 to be laid, the water flow at the inlet 11 side may be strengthened, and the water flow at the recovery port 13 may be made uniform and gentle.
- the sorting screen unit 7 of the present embodiment includes a bottom area force input port 11 side of a section at a position facing the roof 61a of the air chamber 61 among the sections.
- Collection port 13 It is partitioned so as to have an area larger than the bottom area of the side section. This is because above the roof 61a of the air chamber 61, the right and left forces of the air chamber 61 are joined together by the pushed-up water, and the water flow is disturbed. In other words, by passing the turbulence generated at the junction through a section with a large bottom area, the conditions and conditions of passage can be made almost equal, and the direction of the flow velocity and the strength of the water flow can be adjusted.
- the force directly above the air chamber 61 does not cause any significant turbulence due to the water being pushed straight up at the inlet 11 side and the recovery port 13 side which are separated to the left and right. Therefore, the section area of the floor net 71 is formed small, and the direction of flow of water is stably directed by each partition wall 72 so that a desired surface flow is generated.
- the granular material 73 is accommodated in a net-like container formed in the size of each section. This is because when the particle size of the granular material 73 is arbitrarily changed according to the type of waste material to be sorted, it can be easily and quickly changed, and the mesh can be easily cleaned, and the sorting accuracy is maintained. It contributes to.
- variable wing 8 changes the flow direction of the water pushed upward by the air chamber 61 to form a water flow flowing horizontally from the inlet 11 side to the recovery port 13 side.
- a plurality of variable blades 8 are juxtaposed laterally at a predetermined interval between the sorting screen unit 7 and the air chamber 61.
- Each of the variable wings 8 can adjust its inclination angle arbitrarily. Therefore, in order to maintain a delicate relationship between the generated surface water flow and the vertical pulsating flow, the inclination direction of each variable wing 8 is appropriately set, and the water flow that passes through the sorting screen unit 7 to float the non-ferrous waste material The direction of is adjusted.
- a plurality of recovery blades 91 are radially arranged at equal intervals on an outer peripheral surface of a columnar rotating body (not shown).

- Rotary lever of the present embodiment The lube 10 is controlled so as to interlock with the vertical pulsation means 6, so that when collecting copper wire debris dropped from the floor net 71, the lowermost part is synchronized with the timing when the air is exhausted from the air chamber 61. It is open so that falling objects can be collected while water is not discharged more than necessary.
- Each sorting tank 5a, 5b, 5c is set so that the amount of water overflowing from the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la is equal to the amount of water that is simultaneously received by the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc. Have been. This is to keep the surface current flowing on the water surface of each non-ferrous waste sorting device la, lb, lc flowing without stagnation.
- the third non-ferrous waste sorting device la lc also accepts part of the overflowed water volume and overflows the rest of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb power. In this way, if a part of the water volume that is always received overflows, the first, third and third non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc do not need to generate a water surface flow.
- the second and third non-ferrous waste sorters lb and lc which do not block the generated surface flow, can continuously maintain the surface flow. Then, the sheet-like waste material floating on the surface of the water is not settled in the water due to the undisturbed surface flow, so that the waste material can be sorted as it is without involving other waste materials.
- the plane sectional area of the sorting tank 5a in the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la is changed to the second non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus 1 as shown in Fig. 6. It is designed to be equal to the sum of the planar cross-sectional areas of the sorting tanks 5b and 5c in the b and the third non-ferrous waste sorting equipment lc. It should be noted that if the above water amount condition is satisfied, there is no need to provide a difference in the planar sectional area of each of the sorting tanks 5a, 5b, 5c.
- the separation tanks 5b and 5c of the second and third non-ferrous waste sorting devices lb and lc are separately provided. Water supply must be continued, and there is a problem that turbulence in the water flow is likely to occur.
- the particle size relationship of the granular material 73 laid on the floor net 71 will be described. Comparing the particle size of the granular material 73 laid in each section, the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la is formed to be relatively larger than the second and third non-ferrous waste sorting devices lb, lc.
- the granular material 73 laid in any of the sections of the floor net 71 in the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la is divided into the sections in the second and third non-ferrous waste sorting apparatuses lb, lc corresponding to the section.
- a particle having a particle size that is about lmm larger than the granular material 73 laid on the ground is used. This is because the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la plays a role of separating copper wire debris, resin, and the like in the first stage as finely as falling from the mesh of the floor net 71.
- the mesh is finely divided and the granular size is small. This is because the object 73 is laid to generate a more uniform upward flow on the floor net 71.
- variable wings 8 in the first to third non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc are inclined in the opposite direction (toward the input port 11) with respect to the recovery port 13, and the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the second 3
- the variable wings 8 in the non-ferrous waste sorting equipment lc are inclined in the direction of the recovery port 13. In each case, apart from the vertical pulsation, the surface flow is generated on the water surface and maintained.
- the pushed water changes its direction along the variable wings 8 and is reflected by coming into contact with the inlet 11 of the sorting tank 5 and the side wall surface or the partition wall 72.
- the non-ferrous waste material is injected together with the water from the inlet 11, so that the reflected water flow and the input water flow merge to generate a water surface flow toward the recovery port 13 (to the right in FIG. 2). I do.

- the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc may maintain the flow velocity and directionality of the already generated water surface flow without having to separately generate the water surface flow. Therefore, in the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc, the variable wing 8 is inclined toward the recovery port 13 side, and the water passing there is a pulsation that pushes up the non-ferrous waste material. It is designed to boost the flow of surface water that is stingy.
- the variable wings 8 of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc are inclined 5-10 degrees toward the recovery port 13 with respect to the vertical direction.

- a surface current that flows over the water surface is generated in addition to the vertical pulsation.
- the sheet-like waste material rides on this surface flow and flows out to the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb.
- waste materials having a large specific gravity settle to the lower layer due to pulsation in the vertical direction, and waste materials having a small specific gravity are stacked upward to form sedimentary layers. Since the laying density of the particulate matter 73 is high at the recovery port 13 side, a gentle up and down pulsation of the water flow occurs, and a quieter sediment layer is formed than at the input port 11 side.
- the air in the air chamber 61 is intermittently exhausted, and when the descending is restarted, the displacement is increased.

- a plurality of the above-mentioned stainless steel balls 15a are spread on the partition net 14 and laminated in three stages.
- the sorting tank 5 needs to be formed in a regular polygonal shape such as a substantially square shape or a circular shape in cross section. This is because the frictional force between the spread spherical object 15a and the wall surface of the sorting tank 5 is substantially equal on each side, so that the linear waste material separation layer 15 moves up and down physically, and the linear waste material This is for guiding only the lower part. Therefore, when the sorting tank 5 has a regular polygonal cross section, the length of one side is set to a value (an integer multiple) divisible by the diameter of the spherical object 15a, and as shown in FIG. It is spread so that it contacts. In the present embodiment, a spherical object 15a having a diameter of 10 mm is used for one side of a square cross section of 600 mm.
- step S4 a linear waste material sorting step (step S4) using the linear waste material sorting apparatus 3 of the present embodiment will be described.
- step S3 the linear waste materials such as copper wire scraps sorted out are introduced from the inlet 11 and fall onto the linear waste material separation layer 15.
- the linear waste material separation layer 15 moves up and down with the vertical pulsation of water by the vertical pulsation means 6.
- the sorting tank 5 is formed in a substantially square shape in cross section, and uses the spherical material 15a having the same weight and shape, so that the linear waste material separation layer 15 and the sorting tank 5 are formed.
- the frictional resistance generated between the wall and the contact surface is almost equal.
- the spherical objects 15a constituting the linear waste material separation layer 15 repeat vertical movements almost integrally. As shown in FIG.
- the linear waste material separation layer 15 has an appropriate gap between the spherical objects 15a, so that copper wire debris having a higher specific gravity than the spherical object 15a gradually descends from the gap. Is finally dropped from the partition net 14 to the outlet.
- the copper wire debris Since the copper wire debris is easily entangled, the copper wire debris may be in a lump and cannot pass between the spheres 15a as it is, but the lumps due to the vertical movement of each sphere 15a of the linear waste material separation layer 15 Push up to loosen the lump and allow it to fall through the gap. In addition, the copper wire debris may be attracted to the mesh of the partition net 14 in some cases. And fall.
- the copper wire scrap sorted and separated as described above is also discharged by the rotary valve 10 at the lowermost force of the sorting tank 5.
- resin A resin having a large specific gravity
- resin B specific gravity And other resin
- the vertical pulsation of the linear waste material separation layer 15 can be suppressed so as not to be too disturbed, and the entangled copper wire debris can be released. Copper wire debris that has been separated or hooked on the partition net 14 can be separated under the net.
- the opening and closing operation of the rotary valve 10 is linked with the vertical pulsation of the vertical pulsation means 6 to collect copper wire debris when the air chamber 61 is evacuated, so that drainage can be minimized. Play.
- the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment used in the first lightweight waste material sorting step of step S7 will be described with reference to FIG.
- the same or corresponding components as those of the non-ferrous waste material sorting device 1 and the linear waste material sorting device 3 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and are described again. Is omitted.
- the lightweight waste sorting device 4 of the present embodiment is a device for sorting waste materials that are lightweight waste materials such as resin and are easily affected by pulsation, have a specific gravity difference force, and have a small force.
- the specific gravity of a polymer compound is given, PVC is 1.35-1.55, PS is 1.04-1.06, Pama 0.94-0.97, Pama 0.90-0. 91, ABSi or 1.05—1.22!
- the difference in specific gravity is small because the specific gravity is small. Therefore, the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 mainly separates the sorting tank 5 filled with water, the vertical pulsation means 6 for pulsating the water in the sorting tank 5 in the vertical direction, and the sorting tank 5 up and down. It comprises an inclined sorting screen section 16 and a rotary feeder 9 for collecting the waste material having a layer formed on the inclined sorting screen section 16.
- the inclined sorting screen section 16 includes a floor net 71 that partitions the inside of the sorting tank 5 up and down, and a floor net 71 above the floor net 71. And a plurality of granular materials 73 stacked in gaps between the ceiling net 16a and the floor net 71.
- the ceiling net 16a is similar to the floor net 71, and has a plane cross-section It is formed in a substantially square shape, and has a mesh that does not allow the granular material 73 to pass through. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the ceiling net 16a is inclined downward toward the collection port 13, so that light and lightweight waste materials are slowly transferred to the collection port 13 along the inclined surface.
- the number of the granular materials 73 is reduced closer to the collection port 13 so that the thickness of the inclined sorting screen section 16 is reduced. This is because, when collecting resin, the higher the lamination thickness near the collection port 13 is, the better the sorting quality is. Near the collection port 13, the strength of the water that pushes up the resin is increased. Such a sorting effect by the inclined sorting screen section 16 is more effectively exerted when the difference in specific gravity is 0.001 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more.
- a rotary feeder 9 is provided inside the collection port 13, and the inclination angle of a tangent drawn from the upper end of the collection port 13 to the outer periphery of the rotary feeder 9. / 3 force
- the ceiling net 16a is set to be larger than the inclination angle ⁇ of 16a. This is because the rotary feeder 9 collects the inputted lightweight waste material without stagnation. If the inclination angle is reversed, the upper end of the recovery port 13 obstructs the path of the waste material drawn into the rotary feeder 9 and the collected waste material is collected in the sorting tank 5 because the amount of recovered waste material decreases. Waste material accumulates.
- a pulsation damping plate 18 on the lower surface of the outflow plate 17 for discharging waste material to the adjacent sorting tank 5 is hung down.
- the pulsation damping plate 18 is for preventing the upper and lower pulsations from propagating into the recovery port 13, and attenuates the amplitude so that the separated and separated lightweight waste material is not ejected even if the pulsation amplitude changes.
- the pulsation damping plate 18 is provided on the rotary feeder 9 and is set to an arbitrary length according to the amplitude of the pulsation.
- the length of the pulsation damping plate 18 is shortened, and conversely, the pulsation cycle is slow.
- the length must be long.
- the lower end of the pulsation damping plate 18 is set so as to be on a tangent line connecting the collecting rotor 13 and the rotary feeder 9 described above so as not to affect the recovered amount.
- the lower end of the pulsation damping plate 18 protrudes below the tangent line! This is to secure a route for the collected waste materials.
- a waste material vertical movement suppressing plate 19 for suppressing the width of the collected lightweight waste material moving up and down is provided between the collection port 13 and the pulsation damping plate 18.
- This waste material vertical movement suppression plate 1 Numeral 9 is inclined upward in the direction of collection by the rotary feeder 9, and reflects waves transmitted into the collection port 13 to the rotary feeder 9 side. If the waste material vertical movement suppressing plate 19 is inclined downward in the collecting direction, the water that has entered the collecting port 13 is reflected, and the waves attenuated by the pulsation damping plate 18 flow back into the sorting tank 5. .
- the inclination of the waste material vertical movement suppressing plate 19 is arbitrarily set by vertical pulsation.For example, when the pulsation cycle is fast and the amplitude power S is small, the inclination may be small and close to horizontal, but the pulsation cycle is slow and vibration If the width is large, the slope must be increased.
- step S7 a first lightweight waste material sorting step using the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
- step S5 after sorting, in step S5, the lightweight waste materials such as ABS, fat, PS, rubber, and the like, which are crushed in step S5, are put into the input port 11. .
- the finely powdered resin from the input lightweight waste material is separately collected in a fine powder recovery section 20, and the remaining resin is supplied to an inclined sorting screen section 16 via a water wheel feeder 12.
- the vertical pulsation means 6 pulsates the water in the vertical direction, the pulsation causes the light weight waste material to be sorted by the specific gravity difference.
- the upper layer lightweight waste material may collapse and mix. 9 gently collects the lightweight waste material in order to reduce the vertical movement width of the lightweight waste material in the collection port 13 and prevents upper layer waste material from being mixed.
- the collected PVC and rubbers are conveyed to the lightweight waste material sorting device 4 used in the second lightweight waste material sorting step in step S8, and further sorted into PVC and rubbers by this device.
- the air in the air chamber 61 is intermittently exhausted when the water in the vertical pulsation cycle of each sorting tank 5 descends.
- the amount of exhaust per unit time when the water descends is set to be larger than the amount of air supply per unit time when the water rises, and the force is applied strongly to descend. Therefore, the temporarily suspended water, when descending again, amplifies the sedimentation speed of the waste materials with different specific gravities and further increases the specific gravity disparity.
- the particulate matter 73 in the inclined sorting screen portion 16 is thinly stacked on the collection port 13 side.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific gravity of the waste material to be separated is not limited to this. In the case where the difference is 0.5 or less, the inclined sorting screen section 16 laminated with a constant thickness may be used.

非鉄廃材選別装置およびこれを用いた非鉄廃材選別システム Nonferrous waste sorting equipment and nonferrous waste sorting system using the same
技術分野 Technical field
[0001] 本発明は、非鉄廃材の選別装置およびこれを用いた非鉄廃材選別システムに係り The present invention relates to a non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus and a non-ferrous waste sorting system using the same.
、特に、家電製品や廃自動車等を破砕して得られるシュレッダーダストのように、様々 な物品や素材が混在する混合廃材を精度良く選別して回収するのに好適な非鉄廃 材選別装置およびこれを用いた非鉄廃材選別システムに関するものである。 In particular, a non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus and a non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus suitable for accurately sorting and recovering mixed waste containing a variety of articles and materials, such as shredder dust obtained by crushing home appliances and end-of-life vehicles. The present invention relates to a non-ferrous waste sorting system using the method.
背景技術 Background art
[0002] 従来より、家電製品や廃自動車等を破砕した混合廃材は、埋め立てられたり焼却 処理されていたが、近年、これら混合廃材を原料ごとに分離、選別して有効にリサイ クルする技術が提案されている。例えば、プリント基板のように榭脂に固着した金属 材料を回収する技術として、榭脂部分のみを燃焼させ、銅などの金属類を分離回収 する方法が知られている。しカゝしながら、榭脂を燃焼させると、人体や地球環境に有 害なガスが発生するという問題がある。 [0002] Conventionally, mixed waste materials obtained by crushing home electric appliances and end-of-life vehicles have been buried or incinerated. In recent years, however, there has been developed a technique for separating and sorting these mixed waste materials for each raw material to effectively recycle them. Proposed. For example, as a technique for recovering a metal material adhered to resin such as a printed circuit board, a method of burning only the resin portion and separating and recovering metals such as copper is known. However, burning resin while producing it has the problem of generating gases harmful to the human body and the global environment.
[0003] 一方、前記混合廃材を破砕し、石炭や骨材等を比重選別する際に用いられる比重 選別装置により分離、選別する方法が考えられる。この比重選別装置は、一般に、仕 切網を備えた水槽と、この水槽内の水を上下に脈動させる脈動手段とを有している。 そして、仕切網上に投入した破砕物を水中で脈動させることにより、比重の大きいも のを下層に沈殿させ、比重の小さいものを上層に沈殿させることで分離、回収するよ うになつている。 [0003] On the other hand, a method of crushing the mixed waste material, and separating and sorting by a specific gravity sorting device used for specific gravity sorting of coal, aggregate, and the like can be considered. This specific gravity sorting device generally has a water tank provided with a partition net, and pulsation means for pulsating water in the water tank up and down. By pulsating the crushed material put on the partition net in water, those having a high specific gravity are sedimented in the lower layer, and those having a low specific gravity are sedimented in the upper layer to separate and collect.
[0004] し力しながら、上述した比重選別装置では、比重差だけによる分離であり、選別物 の形状については考慮されていない。このため、様々な形状の廃材が混在している 混合廃材を選別する場合、目的とする選別対象に他の廃材が混入してしまうおそれ がある。すなわち、比重が同じであっても形状が異なる廃材や比重が異なっても他の 廃材と絡みやす!/ヽ形状の廃材を選別する場合には、選別できずに選別精度が低下 してしまうという問題がある。 [0004] However, in the above-described specific gravity sorting apparatus, separation is performed only by a specific gravity difference, and the shape of the sorted product is not considered. For this reason, when sorting mixed waste materials in which waste materials of various shapes are mixed, there is a possibility that other waste materials may be mixed into the target sorting target. In other words, even if the specific gravity is the same, waste materials with different shapes and even different specific gravity are easily entangled with other waste materials! When sorting waste materials with a ヽ shape, there is a problem that sorting cannot be performed and the sorting accuracy is reduced.
[0005] また、上述した比重選別装置では、単に水を上下に脈動させるだけなので、ゴムシ ート等のようにシート状の廃材が最初に投入されると水中に潜り込んでしまったり、他 の廃材を包み込んでしまうため、選別精度が低減してしまう。その一方で、 ABS ( Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)榭脂のように比重が小さ 、ものゃ榭脂系統は水流 の影響を受けやすいため、なるべく均一に上下動させないと分離して沈殿させられな いという問題もある。 [0005] Further, in the above-described specific gravity sorting apparatus, since water is simply pulsated up and down, a rubber sheet is used. When a sheet-like waste material such as a sheet is thrown in for the first time, it may sink into the water or wrap up other waste material, reducing the sorting accuracy. On the other hand, the specific gravity is low like ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin, and the resin system is susceptible to water flow, so it cannot be separated and sedimented unless it is moved up and down as uniformly as possible. There is also.
[0006] ところで、廃材の選別技術に関する発明には、例えば特開 2002— 355661号公報 に記載されたものがある。この発明は、榭脂と金属カゝらなる廃材を破砕機により破砕 し、この破砕物を磁選機により磁性物と非磁性物に分離し、この非磁性物をジグ選別 機 (比重選別機)により分離することで榭脂と金属を選別するようになっている。 [0006] Incidentally, an invention relating to a technique for sorting waste materials is described in, for example, JP-A-2002-355661. According to the present invention, waste material consisting of resin and metal powder is crushed by a crusher, and the crushed material is separated into a magnetic material and a non-magnetic material by a magnetic separator, and the non-magnetic material is separated into a jig separator (specific gravity separator). Separation between resin and metal by separation.

発明が解決しょうとする課題 Problems to be solved by the invention
[0008] し力しながら、特開 2002-355661号公報に記載された発明においても、ジグ選別 機では、比重差による選別しか行っておらず、形状差を考慮した選別が行われてい ないため、選別精度に限界がある。また、前記ジグ選別機では、単に水槽の水を上 下動させているだけであるため、混合廃材にシート状の廃材が混入している場合、選 別精度が低下すると 、う問題も解消されて 、な 、。 [0008] However, in the invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-355661, the jig sorter performs only the sorting based on the specific gravity difference, and does not perform the sorting in consideration of the shape difference. , There is a limit to the sorting accuracy. Further, in the jig sorter, since the water in the water tank is simply moved up and down, when the sheet-like waste material is mixed with the mixed waste material, if the sorting accuracy is reduced, the problem is solved. T
[0009] 本発明は、このような問題点を解決するためになされたものであって、他の廃材と絡 みやす!ヽ形状の銅線やハーネス、シート状の榭脂等が混在する非鉄廃材を精度良 く選別回収することができる非鉄廃材選別装置およびこれを用いた非鉄廃材選別シ ステムを提供することを目的として 、る。 [0009] The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and is easily entangled with other waste materials! An object of the present invention is to provide a non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus capable of accurately separating and collecting non-ferrous waste containing mixed copper wire, harness, sheet-like resin, and the like, and a non-ferrous waste sorting system using the same.

課題を解決するための手段 Means for solving the problem
[0010] 本発明に係る非鉄廃材選別装置の特徴は、混合廃材を液体中にお!ヽて、その比 重差により選別するための選別槽と、この選別槽内の液体を上下方向に脈動させる 気室を備えた上下脈動手段と、前記選別槽内を上下に仕切るとともに、前記上下脈 動手段の脈動によって上方側に押し上げられる液体の通過水量を回収口からの距 離に応じて任意に制限し、回収口側よりも投入口側の水流を強くする選別スクリーン 部と、この選別スクリーン部の下方に設けられ、この選別スクリーン部に押し上げられ る液体の進行方向を任意の傾斜方向に変える可変翼とを有している点にある。 [0010] The features of the non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus according to the present invention include a sorting tank for sorting mixed waste materials in a liquid and separating the mixed waste according to a difference in specific gravity thereof, and pulsating the liquid in the sorting tank in a vertical direction. A vertical pulsating means having an air chamber, and an upper and lower pulsating means, which divides the inside of the sorting tank up and down arbitrarily according to the distance from the recovery port, in accordance with the distance from the recovery port. A sorting screen that restricts and strengthens the water flow on the input port side than the recovery port side, and is provided below the sorting screen section and pushed up by the sorting screen section And a variable wing for changing the traveling direction of the liquid to an arbitrary inclination direction.
[0011] また、本発明において、選別スクリーン部は、下面に配置される床網と、この床網上 を複数の区画に仕切る仕切壁と、前記各区画に敷かれる多数の粒状物とを有してお り、回収口側よりも投入口側の区画に敷設される粒状物の粒径がより小さく形成され ていることが好ましい。 [0011] Further, in the present invention, the sorting screen unit has a floor net disposed on the lower surface, a partition wall for dividing the floor net into a plurality of sections, and a large number of granular materials laid in each of the sections. It is preferable that the granular material laid in the section on the input port side than the recovery port side has a smaller particle size.
[0012] あるいは、本発明において、選別スクリーン部は、下面に配置される床網と、この床 網上を複数の区画に仕切る仕切壁と、前記各区画に敷かれる多数の粒状物とを有し ており、回収口側よりも投入口側の区画に敷設される粒状物の敷設密度が小さくされ ていてもよい。 [0012] Alternatively, in the present invention, the sorting screen unit has a floor net arranged on the lower surface, a partition wall for dividing the floor net into a plurality of sections, and a large number of granular materials laid in each of the sections. Therefore, the laying density of the particulate matter laid in the section on the input port side rather than the recovery port side may be reduced.
[0013] また、本発明において、前記選別スクリーン部の各区画のうち、前記気室の屋根と 対向する位置にある区画の区画面積が、投入口側および回収口側の区画の区画面 積よりも大きく仕切られて 、ることが好ま 、。 [0013] In the present invention, among the sections of the sorting screen section, the section area of the section at a position facing the roof of the air chamber is determined by the area of the section of the section on the input port side and the section on the recovery port side. It is also preferred to be divided into large pieces.
[0014] さらに、本発明において、前記上下脈動手段は、混合廃材の沈降速度差を大きく するために、上下脈動サイクルの液体下降時において前記気室内の空気を断続的 に排気するとともに、単位時間当たりの排気量を液体上昇時における単位時間当た りの給気量よりも大きくすることが望ましい。 [0014] Further, in the present invention, the upper and lower pulsation means intermittently exhausts air in the air chamber when the liquid descends in the vertical pulsation cycle and increases the unit time for increasing the settling speed difference of the mixed waste material. It is desirable to make the exhaust volume per unit larger than the air supply volume per unit time when the liquid rises.
[0015] また、本発明に係る非鉄廃材選別システムの特徴は、非鉄廃材選別装置を複数連 設して構成される非鉄廃材選別システムであって、最先の非鉄廃材選別装置と他の 非鉄廃材選別装置とを比較した場合、各非鉄廃材選別装置のそれぞれの床網上に 敷設された粒状物の粒径は、最先の非鉄廃材選別装置におけるものより他の非鉄廃 材選別装置におけるものの方が相対的に小さくされている点にある。 [0015] A feature of the non-ferrous waste sorting system according to the present invention is a non-ferrous waste sorting system configured by connecting a plurality of non-ferrous waste sorting devices, wherein the first non-ferrous waste sorting device and another non-ferrous waste sorting device are arranged. When compared with the sorting equipment, the particle size of the granular materials laid on each floor net of each non-ferrous waste sorting equipment is smaller in the other non-ferrous waste sorting equipment than in the earliest non-ferrous waste sorting equipment. Is relatively small.
[0016] さらに、本発明に係る非鉄廃材選別システムの特徴は、非鉄廃材選別装置を複数 連設して構成される非鉄廃材選別システムであって、最先の非鉄廃材選別装置と他 の非鉄廃材選別装置とを比較した場合、最先の非鉄廃材選別装置における選別槽 からオーバーフローする水量と、他の非鉄廃材選別装置における各選別槽で受け入 れられる水量の合計量とが、ほぼ等しくなるように設定されている点にある。 [0016] Further, a feature of the non-ferrous waste sorting system according to the present invention is a non-ferrous waste sorting system configured by connecting a plurality of non-ferrous waste sorting devices, wherein the first non-ferrous waste sorting device and another non-ferrous waste sorting device are arranged. When compared with the sorting equipment, the amount of water overflowing from the sorting tank in the first non-ferrous waste sorting equipment and the total amount of water received in each sorting tank in the other non-ferrous waste sorting equipment should be almost equal. In that it is set to

Set to be preferred.
[0018] また、本発明に係る非鉄廃材選別システムの特徴は、非鉄廃材選別装置を複数連 設して構成される非鉄廃材選別システムであって、最先の非鉄廃材選別装置と他の 非鉄廃材選別装置とを比較した場合、最先の非鉄廃材選別装置における可変翼は 回収口に対して反対方向に傾斜されており、他の非鉄廃材選別装置における各可 変翼は回収口方向に傾斜されて 、る点にある。 [0018] A feature of the non-ferrous waste sorting system according to the present invention is a non-ferrous waste sorting system configured by connecting a plurality of non-ferrous waste sorting devices, in which the first non-ferrous waste sorting device and another non-ferrous waste sorting device are arranged.

Specifically, the crushed mixed waste material is transported by a vibrating conveyor, and the magnetic stone placed near the vibrating conveyor is strongly excited, so that only the iron waste material is adsorbed and sorted.
[0025] つぎに、ステップ S3の非鉄廃材選別工程は、鉄廃材を除去した非鉄廃材を比重差 および形状差により選別する工程である。この工程では、後述する本実施形態の非 鉄廃材選別装置 1を 3基連設して構成した非鉄廃材選別システム 2が使用されている 。この非鉄廃材選別システム 2により、非鉄廃材は、比較的短い線状廃材 (銅線屑、 榭脂等)と、比較的長い線状廃材 (ハーネス、銅線屑等)と、基板屑と、非鉄金属類と 、軽量廃材 (ABS榭脂 'PS '塩ビ)およびシート状廃材 (ゴム類)と、浮遊物 (PE、 PP 、ウレタン等)とに選別される。 [0025] Next, the non-ferrous waste sorting step of step S3 is a step of sorting non-ferrous waste from which iron waste has been removed based on a difference in specific gravity and a difference in shape. In this step, a non-ferrous waste sorting system 2 configured by connecting three non-ferrous waste sorting apparatuses 1 of the present embodiment, which will be described later, is used. By this non-ferrous waste sorting system 2, non-ferrous waste can be separated from relatively short linear waste (copper wire scrap, resin, etc.), relatively long linear waste (harness, copper wire scrap, etc.), substrate scrap, Metals, lightweight waste materials (ABS resin 'PS' PVC) and sheet waste materials (rubbers), and suspended matter (PE, PP, urethane, etc.).
[0026] つぎに、ステップ S4の線状廃材選別工程は、ステップ S3で選別された比較的短 ヽ 線状廃材を、さらに比重差および形状差により選別する工程である。この工程では、 後述する本実施形態の線状廃材選別装置 3が使用されている。この線状廃材選別 装置 3により、形状の小さい線状廃材は、銅線屑と、高比重の榭脂 Aと、低比重の榭 脂 Bとに選別される。 Next, the linear waste material sorting step in step S4 is a step of further sorting the relatively short linear waste materials sorted in step S3 based on a difference in specific gravity and a difference in shape. In this step, a linear waste material sorting apparatus 3 of the present embodiment described later is used. The linear waste material sorting device 3 sorts the small-sized linear waste materials into copper wire scrap, resin A having a high specific gravity, and resin B having a low specific gravity.
[0027] つぎに、ステップ S 5の軽量廃材破砕工程は、ステップ S3で選別された軽量廃材を プラスチック破砕機等の破砕機により破砕する工程である。この工程では、軽量廃材 をさらに細カゝく裁断または破砕する。 Next, the lightweight waste material crushing step of step S5 is a step of crushing the lightweight waste material selected in step S3 by a crusher such as a plastic crusher. In this process, lightweight waste materials are further cut or crushed.
[0028] つぎに、ステップ S6の浮遊物破砕工程は、ステップ S3で選別された浮遊物をプラ スチック破砕機等の破砕機により破砕する工程である。この工程では、浮遊物をさら に細力べ裁断または破砕した後、脱水スクリーン等により脱水して回収する。 Next, the suspended matter crushing step of step S6 is a step of crushing the suspended matter selected in step S3 by a crusher such as a plastic crusher. In this process, the suspended matter is After being cut or crushed, dehydrated and collected by a dewatering screen or the like.
[0029] つぎに、ステップ S7の第 1軽量廃材選別工程は、ステップ S5で破砕された軽量廃 材を、さらに比重差により選別する工程である。この工程では、後述する本実施形態 の軽量廃材選別装置 4が使用されている。この軽量廃材選別装置 4により、軽量廃材 は、塩ビ 'ゴム類と、 ABS榭脂と、 PSとに選別される。 Next, the first lightweight waste material sorting step in step S7 is a step of further sorting the lightweight waste materials crushed in step S5 by a difference in specific gravity. In this step, a lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment, which will be described later, is used. The lightweight waste material sorting device 4 sorts the lightweight waste materials into PVC rubbers, ABS resin, and PS.
[0030] つぎに、ステップ S8の第 2軽量廃材選別工程は、ステップ S7で破砕された軽量廃 材を、さらに比重差により選別する工程である。この工程では、ステップ S7と同様、後 述する本実施形態の軽量廃材選別装置 4が使用されている。この軽量廃材選別装 置 4により、軽量廃材は、塩ビと、ゴム類とに選別される。 Next, the second lightweight waste material sorting step of step S8 is a step of further sorting the lightweight waste materials crushed in step S7 by a difference in specific gravity. In this step, similar to step S7, a lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment described later is used. The lightweight waste material sorting device 4 sorts the lightweight waste materials into PVC and rubbers.
[0031] 以上の工程により、比重や形状の異なる多種多様な混合廃材が、各原料ごとに分 離されるようになつている。 [0031] Through the above steps, various mixed waste materials having different specific gravities and shapes are separated for each raw material.
[0032] 以下、各ステップにおいて使用される選別装置について詳細に説明することとし、 まず、ステップ S3の非鉄廃材選別工程で使用される本実施形態の非鉄廃材選別装 置 1および非鉄廃材選別システム 2について図 2を参照しつつ説明する。 Hereinafter, the sorting device used in each step will be described in detail. First, the non-ferrous waste sorting device 1 and the non-ferrous waste sorting system 2 of the present embodiment used in the non-ferrous waste sorting process in step S3. Will be described with reference to FIG.
[0033] (1)非鉄廃材選別装置および非鉄廃材選別システム (1) Non-ferrous waste sorting equipment and non-ferrous waste sorting system
本実施形態の非鉄廃材選別システム 2は、非鉄廃材がまず最初に投入される第 1 の非鉄廃材選別装置 laと、この第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laの後に続くように連設され る第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lb、および第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcとから構成されている 。なお、本実施形態では、各非鉄廃材選別装置 la, lb, lcの基本構造はほぼ同一 の構成であるため、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbおよび第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcの構 成のうち、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laの構成と同一若しくは相当する構成については 同一の符号を付している。 The non-ferrous waste sorting system 2 of the present embodiment includes a first non-ferrous waste sorting device la into which non-ferrous waste is first introduced, and a second non-ferrous waste sorting device la connected to the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la. It consists of a waste material sorting device lb and a third non-ferrous waste material sorting device lc. In the present embodiment, since the basic structure of each of the non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc is almost the same, among the configurations of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc, The same or corresponding components as those of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0034] 第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laは、主として、水で満たされた選別槽 5と、この選別槽 5内 の水を上下方向に脈動させる上下脈動手段 6と、選別槽 5内を上下に仕切る選別ス クリーン部 7と、この選別スクリーン部 7の下方に設けられる可変翼 8と、前記選別スク リーン部 7上に沈殿された層状の廃材を回収するロータリフィーダ 9と、前記選別スク リーン部 7の網目力も落下した線状廃材を回収するロータリバルブ 10とから構成され ている。 [0035] 本実施形態の第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laの各構成部についてより詳細に説明する と、選別槽 5は、平面断面略正方形の直方体形状に形成されている。この選別槽 5の 上部には、混合廃材の投入口 11が設けられており、水車式フィーダ 12によって適量 の混合廃材が水とともに投入されるようになっている。また、投入口 11の対面側には 、回収口 13が設けられており、選別スクリーン部 7上で最下層に沈殿された廃材、こ こでは比較的長い銅線屑やノヽーネスをロータリフィーダ 9の吸引力によって引き込む 役割を果たしている。また、選別槽 5の側壁には、後述する気室 61に通じる給排気口 62が形成されている。 [0034] The first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la mainly includes a sorting tank 5 filled with water, vertical pulsation means 6 for pulsating the water in the sorting tank 5 in the vertical direction, and vertically moving the sorting tank 5 up and down. A sorting screen section 7 for partitioning, a variable wing 8 provided below the sorting screen section 7, a rotary feeder 9 for collecting a layered waste material deposited on the sorting screen section 7, and a sorting screen section. The mesh force of 7 also includes a rotary valve 10 for collecting the dropped linear waste material. [0035] The components of the first non-ferrous waste material sorting apparatus la of the present embodiment will be described in more detail. The sorting tank 5 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a substantially square planar cross section. At the upper part of the sorting tank 5, an input port 11 for mixed waste material is provided, and an appropriate amount of mixed waste material is supplied by a water wheel feeder 12 together with water. In addition, a collection port 13 is provided on the opposite side of the input port 11 so that the waste material settled in the lowermost layer on the sorting screen unit 7, which is a relatively long copper wire debris and noise, is supplied to the rotary feeder 9. It plays the role of pulling in by the suction force of. Further, a supply / exhaust port 62 communicating with an air chamber 61 described later is formed on a side wall of the sorting tank 5.
[0036] つぎに、上下脈動手段 6は、主として、選別槽 5内に設けられる気室 61と、この気室 61に給排気口 62を通じて空気を給気する空気ブロワ 63、およびこの空気ブロワ 63 力もの給排気タイミングを調節する空気バルブ 64とから構成されている。気室 61は、 下端が開口されており、上方の屋根 61aは山形に形成されている。空気ブロワ 63は 、加圧された空気を各空気バルブ 64に接続された空気タンク 65に貯留する。空気バ ルブ 64は、例えばロータリバルブにより構成されており、バルブモータ 66により回転 されて開閉し、気室 61の給排気を行う。本実施形態では、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 la 力 第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcまで連続した水面の流れを安定させるため、第 1非鉄 廃材選別装置 laおよび第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcの給排気タイミングは同期させ、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbの給排気タイミングは位相を半分ずらしている。 Next, the vertical pulsation means 6 mainly includes an air chamber 61 provided in the separation tank 5, an air blower 63 for supplying air to the air chamber 61 through a supply / exhaust port 62, and the air blower 63. And an air valve 64 for adjusting the supply / exhaust timing of the power supply. The lower end of the air chamber 61 is opened, and the upper roof 61a is formed in a mountain shape. The air blower 63 stores the pressurized air in an air tank 65 connected to each air valve 64. The air valve 64 is configured by, for example, a rotary valve, and is rotated by a valve motor 66 to open and close, and supplies and exhausts the air chamber 61. In this embodiment, in order to stabilize the flow of the water surface up to the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc, the supply and exhaust timing of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc Are synchronized, and the supply and exhaust timing of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb is shifted by half the phase.
[0037] また、本実施形態では、バルブモータ 66の回転を制御することにより、図 3に示すよ うに、水の上下脈動サイクルのうち、下降時における気室 61内の空気を断続的に排 気し、下降を一時的に停止させる。そして、再び下降させる際には強く速く下降させ る。これは、比重差の異なる物質同士の沈降速度が、静止状態から落下を開始する ときに最も顕著な格差を生じるため、この原理を利用して比重差による選別を効果的 に実行させるためである。 Further, in the present embodiment, by controlling the rotation of the valve motor 66, as shown in FIG. 3, the air in the air chamber 61 at the time of descending is intermittently discharged during the vertical pulsation cycle of water. I noticed and stopped the descent temporarily. When descending again, descend strongly and quickly. This is because the sedimentation speed of substances with different specific gravities causes the most noticeable disparity when falling from a stationary state, so that sorting based on specific gravity is effectively performed using this principle. .
[0038] したがって、気室 61内の空気を断続的に排気して、水の下降を一時的に停止させ 、再び下降を開始することにより、比重差の異なる廃材同士の沈降速度を増幅させて より精度よく選別するようになって 、る。 [0038] Therefore, the air in the air chamber 61 is intermittently exhausted, the descent of the water is temporarily stopped, and the descent is started again, thereby amplifying the sedimentation speed of the waste materials having different specific gravities. It comes to sort more accurately.
[0039] さらに前述のように下降時にー且排気を停止するため、この停止分の時間を取り戻 すべく単位時間の排気量を多くしている。つまり、ロータリバルブ 10のサイクルに合わ せて脈動サイクルを繰り返す必要があるため、下降時における単位時間当たりの排 気量を水の上昇時における単位時間当たりの給気量よりも大きく設定している。仮に 給気時間と排気時間が等しい場合、排気を断続させることにより、給気した空気を全 て 気できなくなってしまう。したがって、単位時間当たりの排気量を大きくして給気 量と排気量を等しくすることにより、選別槽 5内の水は一定の上下幅で脈動し安定的 な比重分離が可能となる。 [0039] Further, as described above, in order to stop the exhaust when descending, the time for this stoppage is recovered. The displacement per unit time is increased as much as possible. In other words, it is necessary to repeat the pulsation cycle in accordance with the cycle of the rotary valve 10, so that the amount of exhaust air per unit time when descending is set larger than the amount of air supply per unit time when water rises. . If the air supply time and the exhaust time are equal, the intermittent exhaust will make it impossible to exhaust all the supplied air. Therefore, by increasing the amount of exhaust air per unit time to equalize the amount of supply air and the amount of exhaust air, the water in the sorting tank 5 pulsates at a constant vertical width, thereby enabling stable specific gravity separation.
[0040] 選別スクリーン部 7は、選別槽 5内に固定される床網 71と、この床網 71上を複数の 区画に仕切る仕切壁 72と、各区画に敷かれる複数の粒状物 73とを有している。床網 71は、選別槽 5の平面断面とほぼ同形状の略正方形に形成されており、粒状物 73 を落下させない程度の大きさの網目を有している。仕切壁 72は、床網 71上に略垂直 方向に立設され、図 4に示すように、前記床網 71を複数の区画に分割している。粒 状物 73は、ステンレス球やセラミック球などの適当な比重を有する球状体により構成 されており、各区画内に敷設されて水の通過量を制限する。 [0040] The sorting screen section 7 includes a floor net 71 fixed in the sorting tank 5, a partition wall 72 that divides the floor net 71 into a plurality of sections, and a plurality of granular materials 73 laid in each section. Have. The floor net 71 is formed in a substantially square shape having substantially the same shape as the plane cross section of the sorting tank 5, and has a mesh size large enough not to drop the particulate matter 73. The partition wall 72 is erected in a substantially vertical direction on the floor net 71, and divides the floor net 71 into a plurality of sections as shown in FIG. The granules 73 are composed of spherical bodies having an appropriate specific gravity, such as stainless steel balls and ceramic balls, and are laid in each section to limit the amount of water passing therethrough.
[0041] 本実施形態では、図 4に示すように、回収口 13側よりも投入口 11側の区画に敷か れる粒状物 73の粒径がより小さく形成されている。これは、上下脈動手段 6による水 の脈動によって上方に押し上げられる水が選別スクリーン部 7を通過できる水量を回 収ロ 13からの距離に応じて多量になるよう任意に制限するためである。これにより、 図 5に示すように、回収口 13側では水流が弱くて流速が小さくなり、投入口 11側では の水流が強くて流速が大きくなる。したがって、シート状廃材を含む非鉄廃材が投入 されても投入口 11側の強 、上昇流によりシート状廃材が水中に潜り込むのを防ぐこ とができる。さらに水面上の流れを強くすることもできる。また、以上のように通過水量 を粒状物 73の粒径によって調節する構成に限らず、粒状物 73の敷設密度を調整す ること、つまり、回収口 13側よりも投入口 11側の区画に敷かれる粒状物 73の敷設密 度を小さくすることによって、投入口 11側の水流を強くし、回収口 13側の水流を均一 で穏やかにするようにしてもょ 、。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the particle size of the particulate matter 73 laid in the section on the input port 11 side is smaller than that on the recovery port 13 side. This is to arbitrarily limit the amount of water that can be pushed upward by the pulsation of the water by the vertical pulsation means 6 to pass through the sorting screen unit 7 so as to increase in accordance with the distance from the collection unit 13. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the water flow is weak at the recovery port 13 side and the flow velocity is small, and the water flow at the input port 11 side is strong and the flow velocity is high. Therefore, even if non-ferrous waste including sheet-like waste material is supplied, it is possible to prevent the sheet-like waste material from entering the water due to the strong upward flow on the inlet 11 side. Further, the flow over the water surface can be strengthened. In addition, as described above, the amount of passing water is not limited to the configuration in which the particle size of the granular material 73 is adjusted. By reducing the laying density of the granular material 73 to be laid, the water flow at the inlet 11 side may be strengthened, and the water flow at the recovery port 13 may be made uniform and gentle.
[0042] また、本実施形態の選別スクリーン部 7は、図 4に示すように、各区画のうち、気室 6 1の屋根 61aと対向する位置にある区画の底面積力 投入口 11側および回収口 13 側の区画の底面積よりも大きな面積となるように仕切られている。これは、気室 61の 屋根 61aの上方においては、気室 61の左右力 押し上げられた水が合流し水流に 乱れが生じているため、これを整える必要があるからである。つまり、合流点で生じた 乱流を大きな底面積の区画を通過させることにより、通過条件 ·状況をほぼ等しくする ことができ、流速方向と水流の強さを整えるのである。一方、気室 61の真上力も左右 に離れた投入口 11側および回収口 13側では、水が真っ直ぐ上に押し上げられて大 きな乱れが生じない。したがって、床網 71の区画面積を小さく形成し、各仕切壁 72 により水の流れ方向を所望の水面流が生成されるように安定して方向付けるようにな つている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the sorting screen unit 7 of the present embodiment includes a bottom area force input port 11 side of a section at a position facing the roof 61a of the air chamber 61 among the sections. Collection port 13 It is partitioned so as to have an area larger than the bottom area of the side section. This is because above the roof 61a of the air chamber 61, the right and left forces of the air chamber 61 are joined together by the pushed-up water, and the water flow is disturbed. In other words, by passing the turbulence generated at the junction through a section with a large bottom area, the conditions and conditions of passage can be made almost equal, and the direction of the flow velocity and the strength of the water flow can be adjusted. On the other hand, the force directly above the air chamber 61 does not cause any significant turbulence due to the water being pushed straight up at the inlet 11 side and the recovery port 13 side which are separated to the left and right. Therefore, the section area of the floor net 71 is formed small, and the direction of flow of water is stably directed by each partition wall 72 so that a desired surface flow is generated.
[0043] さらに、選別スクリーン部 7では、各区画の大きさに形成された網状容器に粒状物 7 3を収容している。これは、選別する廃材の種類によって任意に粒状物 73の粒径を 変更する場合に、簡単かつ迅速に変更することができるし、網目の洗浄も容易に行う ことができて、選別精度の維持に貢献するものである。 Further, in the sorting screen unit 7, the granular material 73 is accommodated in a net-like container formed in the size of each section. This is because when the particle size of the granular material 73 is arbitrarily changed according to the type of waste material to be sorted, it can be easily and quickly changed, and the mesh can be easily cleaned, and the sorting accuracy is maintained. It contributes to.
[0044] つぎに、可変翼 8は、気室 61によって真上に押し上げられる水の流れ方向を変え て、水面を投入口 11側から回収口 13側へ水平に流れる水流を形成するものである 。図 2に示すように、可変翼 8は、選別スクリーン部 7と気室 61との間で横に所定間隔 を隔てて複数枚並設されている。各可変翼 8は、その傾斜角度を任意に調節できるよ うになつている。したがって、発生する水面流と上下脈動流との微妙な関係を保持す るために、各可変翼 8の傾斜方向を適宜設定して、選別スクリーン部 7を通過して非 鉄廃材を浮上させる水流の方向を調整するようになっている。後述するように、第 1非 鉄廃材選別装置 laでは、上下脈動水流を投入口 11側の仕切壁 72にぶつけて回収 口 13側に反射させ、投入口 11側から回収口 13側への水流を発生させるようになつ ている。 Next, the variable wing 8 changes the flow direction of the water pushed upward by the air chamber 61 to form a water flow flowing horizontally from the inlet 11 side to the recovery port 13 side. . As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of variable blades 8 are juxtaposed laterally at a predetermined interval between the sorting screen unit 7 and the air chamber 61. Each of the variable wings 8 can adjust its inclination angle arbitrarily. Therefore, in order to maintain a delicate relationship between the generated surface water flow and the vertical pulsating flow, the inclination direction of each variable wing 8 is appropriately set, and the water flow that passes through the sorting screen unit 7 to float the non-ferrous waste material The direction of is adjusted. As will be described later, in the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la, the upper and lower pulsating water flows hit the partition wall 72 on the input port 11 side and are reflected to the recovery port 13 side, and the water flow from the input port 11 side to the recovery port 13 side Is generated.
[0045] つぎに、ロータリフィーダ 9は、複数枚の回収羽根 91が図示しない円柱状の回転体 の外周面に等間隔で放射状に配置されている。このロータリフィーダ 9は各非鉄廃材 選別装置 la, lb, lcの回収口 13の内部に設けられ、モータ等により回転駆動自在 に構成される。また、ロータリバルブ 10は、選別槽 5の最下部に設けられ、選別スクリ ーン部 7を通じて落下した廃材を回収するようになって 、る。本実施形態のロータリバ ルブ 10は、上下脈動手段 6と連動するように制御されており、床網 71から落下した銅 線屑等を回収する際、気室 61から空気を排気する時のタイミングに合わせて最下部 を開口し、必要以上に水が排出されな 、ようにしながら落下物を回収するようになつ ている。 Next, in the rotary feeder 9, a plurality of recovery blades 91 are radially arranged at equal intervals on an outer peripheral surface of a columnar rotating body (not shown). The rotary feeder 9 is provided inside the recovery port 13 of each of the non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc, and is rotatably driven by a motor or the like. Further, the rotary valve 10 is provided at the lowermost part of the sorting tank 5, and collects waste materials dropped through the sorting screen 7. Rotary lever of the present embodiment The lube 10 is controlled so as to interlock with the vertical pulsation means 6, so that when collecting copper wire debris dropped from the floor net 71, the lowermost part is synchronized with the timing when the air is exhausted from the air chamber 61. It is open so that falling objects can be collected while water is not discharged more than necessary.
[0046] つぎに、非鉄廃材選別システム 2を構成する第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laから第 3非 鉄廃材選別装置 lcの構成上の相違点あるいは関連点について説明する。 Next, a description will be given of a difference or a related point in the configuration of the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la to the third non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus lc constituting the non-ferrous waste sorting system 2.
[0047] まず、選別槽 5について説明する。各選別槽 5a, 5b, 5cは、第 1非鉄廃材選別装 置 laからオーバーフローする水量が、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbおよび第 3非鉄廃 材選別装置 lcで同時に受け入れる水量と等しくなるように設定されている。これは、 各非鉄廃材選別装置 la, lb, lcの水面上を流れる水面流を滞留させることなく流れ させ続けるためである。つまり、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laからオーバーフローする水 量を第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbで受ける場合に、その一部の水量を受け入れ、残りの 水量をオーバーフローさせ、さらに、第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcでも第 2非鉄廃材選 別装置 lb力 オーバーフローされた水量のうち一部を受け入れ、残りをオーバーフ ローさせる。このように常に受け入れる水量の一部をオーバーフローさせれば、第 1 一第 3の非鉄廃材選別装置 la, lb, lcのそれぞれで水面流を発生させる必要はな ぐ第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laで発生させた水面流を滞らせることなぐ第 2,第 3の非 鉄廃材選別装置 lb, lcで連続的に水面の流れを維持できる。そして、滞ることのな い水面流によって、水面上を浮遊するシート状廃材が水中に沈降することなぐつま り他の廃材を巻き込むことなくそのまま選別することができる。 First, the sorting tank 5 will be described. Each sorting tank 5a, 5b, 5c is set so that the amount of water overflowing from the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la is equal to the amount of water that is simultaneously received by the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc. Have been. This is to keep the surface current flowing on the water surface of each non-ferrous waste sorting device la, lb, lc flowing without stagnation. In other words, when the amount of water overflowing from the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la is received by the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb, a part of the amount of water is accepted, the remaining amount of water is overflowed, and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device la lc also accepts part of the overflowed water volume and overflows the rest of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb power. In this way, if a part of the water volume that is always received overflows, the first, third and third non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc do not need to generate a water surface flow. The second and third non-ferrous waste sorters lb and lc, which do not block the generated surface flow, can continuously maintain the surface flow. Then, the sheet-like waste material floating on the surface of the water is not settled in the water due to the undisturbed surface flow, so that the waste material can be sorted as it is without involving other waste materials.
[0048] 前述した水量の条件を満足させるために、本実施形態では、図 6に示すように、第 1 非鉄廃材選別装置 laにおける選別槽 5aの平面断面積が、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 1 bおよび第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcにおける各選別槽 5b, 5cの平面断面積の和と等 しくなるように設計されている。なお、上記水量の条件を満足させれば、各選別槽 5a , 5b, 5cの平面断面積に差を設けなくてもよい。例えば上下動する水面高さを制御 することによりオーバーフローさせる水量を調整することが理論上可能であるが、別 途、第 2,第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lb, lcの選別槽 5b, 5cに水を補給し続けなければ ならず、水流の乱れが生じやすくなるという問題がある。 [0049] つぎに床網 71上に敷設された粒状物 73の粒径関係について説明する。各区画に 敷かれた粒状物 73の粒径を比較すると、第 2および第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lb, lc に比べ、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laの方が相対的に大きなものとして形成されている 。つまり、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laにおける床網 71のいずれかの区画内に敷設され た粒状物 73は、その区画に対応する第 2および第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lb, lcにお ける区画内に敷設された粒状物 73よりも約 lmm程度大きな粒径のものが使用され ている。これは、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laにおいては、床網 71の網目から落下する ほど細か 、銅線屑や榭脂等を最初の段階で分離してしまう役割を担うからである。こ れに対し、第 2および第 3の非鉄廃材選別装置 lb, lcにおいては、床網 71から落下 させるような銅線屑等は存在しないため、網目を細力べし、かつ粒径の小さな粒状物 73を敷設してより均一な押し上げ流を床網 71上に発生させる目的があるからである [0048] In order to satisfy the above-mentioned water amount condition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6, the plane sectional area of the sorting tank 5a in the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la is changed to the second non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus 1 as shown in Fig. 6. It is designed to be equal to the sum of the planar cross-sectional areas of the sorting tanks 5b and 5c in the b and the third non-ferrous waste sorting equipment lc. It should be noted that if the above water amount condition is satisfied, there is no need to provide a difference in the planar sectional area of each of the sorting tanks 5a, 5b, 5c. For example, it is theoretically possible to adjust the amount of water that overflows by controlling the height of the water surface that moves up and down.However, separately, the separation tanks 5b and 5c of the second and third non-ferrous waste sorting devices lb and lc are separately provided. Water supply must be continued, and there is a problem that turbulence in the water flow is likely to occur. Next, the particle size relationship of the granular material 73 laid on the floor net 71 will be described. Comparing the particle size of the granular material 73 laid in each section, the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la is formed to be relatively larger than the second and third non-ferrous waste sorting devices lb, lc. There. That is, the granular material 73 laid in any of the sections of the floor net 71 in the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la is divided into the sections in the second and third non-ferrous waste sorting apparatuses lb, lc corresponding to the section. A particle having a particle size that is about lmm larger than the granular material 73 laid on the ground is used. This is because the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la plays a role of separating copper wire debris, resin, and the like in the first stage as finely as falling from the mesh of the floor net 71. On the other hand, in the second and third non-ferrous waste sorting devices lb and lc, since there is no copper wire debris or the like that is dropped from the floor net 71, the mesh is finely divided and the granular size is small. This is because the object 73 is laid to generate a more uniform upward flow on the floor net 71.
[0050] つぎに、第 1一第 3の非鉄廃材選別装置 la, lb, lcにおける可変翼 8の傾斜角の 違いについて説明する。図 2に示すように、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laにおける可変 翼 8は、回収口 13に対して反対方向(投入口 11方向)に傾斜されており、第 2非鉄廃 材選別装置 lbおよび第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcにおける可変翼 8は回収口 13方向 に傾斜されている。いずれも上下の脈動とは別に、水面上を流れる水面流を発生さ せてこれを維持するための構成である。すなわち、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laでは、 押し上げられた水が可変翼 8に沿って方向を変え、選別槽 5の投入口 11側壁面や仕 切壁 72に当接して反射する。一方、投入口 11からは水とともに非鉄廃材が投入され るので、前述の反射された水流と投入の水流とが合流し、回収口 13側方向(図 2の 右側方向)への水面流が発生する。この水面流とともにゴムシート等が流される。本 実施形態では、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laの可変翼 8は、鉛直方向に対して投入口 1 1側に 2— 3度傾斜されている。 Next, the difference in the inclination angle of the variable wings 8 in the first to third non-ferrous waste sorting devices la, lb, and lc will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the variable wings 8 in the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la are inclined in the opposite direction (toward the input port 11) with respect to the recovery port 13, and the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the second 3 The variable wings 8 in the non-ferrous waste sorting equipment lc are inclined in the direction of the recovery port 13. In each case, apart from the vertical pulsation, the surface flow is generated on the water surface and maintained. That is, in the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la, the pushed water changes its direction along the variable wings 8 and is reflected by coming into contact with the inlet 11 of the sorting tank 5 and the side wall surface or the partition wall 72. On the other hand, the non-ferrous waste material is injected together with the water from the inlet 11, so that the reflected water flow and the input water flow merge to generate a water surface flow toward the recovery port 13 (to the right in FIG. 2). I do. A rubber sheet or the like flows along with the surface flow. In the present embodiment, the variable wings 8 of the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la are inclined at an angle of 2-3 degrees toward the inlet 11 with respect to the vertical direction.
[0051] 一方、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbおよび第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcは、別途、水面 流を発生させる必要はなぐ既に発生している水面流の流速や方向性を維持すれば よい。そこで、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbおよび第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcでは、可変 翼 8を回収口 13側に傾斜させており、ここを通る水が非鉄廃材を押し上げる脈動だ けでなぐ水面流の流れを加勢するようになっている。第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbおよ び第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcの可変翼 8は、鉛直方向に対して回収口 13側へ 5— 10 度傾斜されている。 On the other hand, the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc may maintain the flow velocity and directionality of the already generated water surface flow without having to separately generate the water surface flow. Therefore, in the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc, the variable wing 8 is inclined toward the recovery port 13 side, and the water passing there is a pulsation that pushes up the non-ferrous waste material. It is designed to boost the flow of surface water that is stingy. The variable wings 8 of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc are inclined 5-10 degrees toward the recovery port 13 with respect to the vertical direction.
[0052] つぎに、本実施形態の非鉄廃材選別システム 2を用いた非鉄廃材選別工程 (ステツ プ S3)について説明する。 Next, a non-ferrous waste material sorting step (step S3) using the non-ferrous waste material sorting system 2 of the present embodiment will be described.
[0053] まず、上述したステップ S 2にお 、て磁性廃材を除去した非鉄廃材を投入口 11に投 入する。投入された非鉄廃材は、水車式フィーダ 12により適量ずつ第 1非鉄廃材選 別装置 laの選別スクリーン部 7上に供給される。第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laの選別槽 5内では、可変翼 8が押し上げられる水を投入口 11側へ斜めに導き、選別スクリーン 部 7における粒状物 73の敷設密度の差によって投入口 11側ほど強く速い水流を生 じさせることにより、上下脈動に加えて水面上を流れる水面流を発生させる。この水 面流にシート状廃材が乗って第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbへと流出される。 First, in step S 2 described above, the non-ferrous waste material from which the magnetic waste material has been removed is injected into the inlet 11. The supplied non-ferrous waste material is supplied by a water wheel feeder 12 in an appropriate amount onto the sorting screen section 7 of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la. In the sorting tank 5 of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la, the water pushed up by the variable wings 8 is guided obliquely to the inlet 11 side, and due to the difference in the laying density of the particulate matter 73 in the sorting screen 7, the inlet 11 is closer to the inlet 11 By generating a strong and fast current, a surface current that flows over the water surface is generated in addition to the vertical pulsation. The sheet-like waste material rides on this surface flow and flows out to the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb.
[0054] 一方、水面下では、上下方向の脈動により、比重が大きい廃材は下層に沈降し、比 重の小さい廃材は上方に積層してそれぞれ沈殿層を形成する。回収口 13側では粒 状物 73の敷設密度が高いため穏ゃ力な水流の上下脈動が生じており、投入口 11側 よりも静か〖こ沈殿層が形成される。 [0054] On the other hand, below the water surface, waste materials having a large specific gravity settle to the lower layer due to pulsation in the vertical direction, and waste materials having a small specific gravity are stacked upward to form sedimentary layers. Since the laying density of the particulate matter 73 is high at the recovery port 13 side, a gentle up and down pulsation of the water flow occurs, and a quieter sediment layer is formed than at the input port 11 side.
[0055] また、上下脈動サイクルのうちの下降工程において気室 61内の空気を断続的に排 気させるとともに、下降を再開する場合には排気量を大きくするため、水中の比重差 による沈降速度差を増幅させてより確実に選別処理を進めている。 [0055] Further, in the descending process of the vertical pulsation cycle, the air in the air chamber 61 is intermittently exhausted, and when the descending is restarted, the displacement is increased. The sorting process is being promoted by amplifying the difference.
[0056] 第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laでは、大きな粒径の粒状物 73によって、隙間から銅線屑 や榭脂屑を床網 71から落下させる。選別槽 5の最下部に沈殿した銅線屑等は気室 6 1からの排気動作に合わせてロータリバルブ 10が開放されることにより、次の線状廃 材選別工程 (ステップ S4)へと移送される。 In the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la, the copper wire dust and the resin dust fall from the floor net 71 from the gaps by the granular material 73 having a large particle diameter. Copper wire debris settled at the bottom of the sorting tank 5 is transferred to the next linear waste sorting process (Step S4) by opening the rotary valve 10 in accordance with the exhaust operation from the air chamber 61. Is done.
[0057] 第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laでは、選別スクリーン部 7上の沈殿層のうち最下層には ハーネスや銅線屑が沈降する。この最下層がある程度沈殿するとロータリフィーダ 9 が回転し、選別した廃材を順次分離して回収する。一方、ハーネスや銅線屑以外の 廃材は回収口 13の上方を越えて第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbへと流出する。 [0057] In the first non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus la, the harness and copper wire debris settle in the lowermost layer of the sedimentation layer on the sorting screen unit 7. When the lowermost layer has settled to some extent, the rotary feeder 9 rotates, and the sorted waste materials are sequentially separated and collected. On the other hand, waste materials other than harnesses and copper wire scraps flow over the recovery port 13 to the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb.
[0058] つぎに、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbには、水面上をシート状廃材が流れてくるととも に、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laによって分離されなかった非鉄廃材が流れてくる。第 1 非鉄廃材選別装置 laの選別槽 5からオーバーフローした水は、第 2非鉄廃材選別装 置 lbおよび第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcの各選別槽 5にそれぞれ 1Z2量ずつ受け入 れられ、同時にオーバーフローされる。さらに可変翼 8による傾斜水流と選別スクリー ン部 7による水流の強弱調整、および前述した連続的なオーバーフローによって水 面上の流れは維持され、シート状廃材は最後まで水面上を流れて回収される。 Next, in the second non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus lb, sheet-like waste is flowing on the water surface. Then, non-ferrous waste not separated by the first non-ferrous waste sorter la flows. Water overflowing from the sorting tank 5 of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la is received into the sorting tank 5 of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb and the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc in an amount of 1Z2 each, and overflows at the same time. Is done. Furthermore, the flow on the water surface is maintained by adjusting the strength of the inclined water flow by the variable wing 8 and the water flow by the sorting screen unit 7, and the continuous overflow described above, and the sheet-like waste material flows over the water surface to the end and is collected. .
[0059] また、第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbでは、粒状物 73の粒径を第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 1 aと比べて小さく設定しているため、各粒状物 73の隙間も小さぐ押し上げられた水は 選別スクリーン部 7を通過することでより均一化する。この均一化された水の脈動によ り、選別スクリーン部 7上には、非鉄廃材が比重差により選別された沈殿層を形成す る。第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbには榭脂間に銅が挟まれているような基板屑が最下層 に沈殿している。この最下層の非鉄廃材をロータリフィーダ 9によって分離し順次回 収する。上層部の他の廃材は回収口 13の上方を越えて第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcへ と流出される。 In the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb, the particle size of the granular material 73 is set to be smaller than that of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device 1a. The water that has passed through the sorting screen 7 is made more uniform. Due to the uniformized water pulsation, the non-ferrous waste material forms a sedimentary layer on the sorting screen section 7 which is sorted by the specific gravity difference. In the second non-ferrous waste sorter lb, substrate debris, such as copper sandwiched between resins, settled in the bottom layer. The lowermost non-ferrous waste material is separated by the rotary feeder 9 and sequentially collected. The other waste material in the upper layer passes over the recovery port 13 and flows out to the third non-ferrous waste material sorting device lc.
[0060] つぎに、第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcでは、第 1非鉄廃材選別装置 laおよび第 2非鉄 廃材選別装置 lbの水面を経てシート状廃材が流れてくるとともに、第 2非鉄廃材選 別装置 lbによって回収されな力つた非鉄廃材が流れてくる。第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbと同様、第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcでも選別スクリーン部 7の流速調整と可変翼 8に よる傾斜された水流、連続的なオーバーフローによって水面流を維持し、シート状廃 材が水面下に潜り込んだり、他の廃材を包み込んでしまうことなく水面上を速やかに 移送されて回収される。 Next, in the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc, the sheet-like waste flows through the water surface of the first non-ferrous waste sorting device la and the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb, and the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lc. The non-ferrous waste that has not been recovered by the lb will flow. Like the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb, the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc also maintains the water surface flow by adjusting the flow velocity of the sorting screen 7 and sloping water flow by the variable wings 8 and continuous overflow. The material is quickly transported and collected on the water surface without sinking below the water surface or wrapping up other waste materials.
[0061] 一方、選別スクリーン部 7上では、上下の脈動によりステンレスやアルミなどの非鉄 金属類が沈殿し、順次ロータリフィーダ 9によって回収される。そして、この第 3非鉄廃 材選別装置 lcでも回収されなカゝつた比重の小さい ABS榭脂、 PS、塩ビ等の軽量廃 材は回収口 13の上方を越えて、シート状廃材と一緒に回収される。これら軽量廃材 は、ステップ S5の軽量廃材破砕工程においてさらに破砕された後、後述するステツ プ S7の第 1軽量廃材選別工程で用いられる軽量廃材選別装置 4へと搬送され、さら に細カゝく選別される。 [0062] また、ウレタンや、 PE、 PP等の浮遊物については、本非鉄廃材選別システム 2に設 けられたサイドトラップ Sにより別途回収され、ステップ S6の浮遊物破砕工程におい て破砕された後、回収される。 On the other hand, non-ferrous metals such as stainless steel and aluminum precipitate on the sorting screen unit 7 due to vertical pulsation, and are sequentially collected by the rotary feeder 9. The small non-ferrous materials such as ABS resin, PS, PVC, etc., which are also collected by the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc, pass over the collection port 13 and are collected together with the sheet-like waste materials. Is done. These lightweight waste materials are further crushed in the lightweight waste material crushing step of step S5, and then conveyed to the lightweight waste material sorting device 4 used in the first lightweight waste material sorting step of step S7 described below, and further finely divided. Be sorted out. [0062] Further, suspended matters such as urethane, PE, and PP are separately collected by the side trap S provided in the non-ferrous waste sorting system 2, and are crushed in the suspended matter crushing step of Step S6. , Will be collected.
[0063] なお、本第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcと第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbとにおける粒状物 7 3の粒径や可変翼 8の傾斜角度は、等しいものに形成している力 これに限られるも のではない。第 3非鉄廃材選別装置 lcにおける各値が第 2非鉄廃材選別装置 lbの 値以下であればよぐ選別対象の廃材の種類により適宜設定される。 [0063] The force of the third non-ferrous waste material sorting device lc and the second non-ferrous waste material sorting device lb are equal to each other when the particle diameter of the granular material 73 and the inclination angle of the variable blade 8 are equal. It is not something that can be done. If each value in the third non-ferrous waste sorting device lc is equal to or less than the value of the second non-ferrous waste sorting device lb, it is appropriately set according to the type of waste to be sorted.
[0064] 以上、本実施形態の非鉄廃材選別装置 1によれば、 As described above, according to the non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus 1 of the present embodiment,
1.混合廃材を比重差により選別できるとともに、形状を考慮した選別を行い、選別精 度を高めることができる。 1. In addition to being able to sort mixed waste materials based on the specific gravity difference, sorting can be performed in consideration of the shape to improve sorting accuracy.
2.水面上に横方向の流れを発生させるため、シート状の廃材が水中に潜り込んでし まったり、他の廃材を包み込んでしまうのを防止して、回収することができる。 2. Since a horizontal flow is generated on the water surface, sheet-like waste materials can be prevented from getting into the water or wrapping up other waste materials, and can be recovered.
3.選別スクリーン部 7を通過させることにより気室 61の屋根 61aの形状によって生じ る乱流を均一化させられるとともに、気室 61から離れた位置の流れに対しては流れ 方向を整然とさせるようにし、混合廃材を適切に上下脈動させられる。 3.By passing through the screening screen 7, the turbulence generated by the shape of the roof 61a of the air chamber 61 can be made uniform, and the flow direction of the flow away from the air chamber 61 can be made orderly. Thus, the mixed waste material can be appropriately pulsated up and down.
4.水の下降時に断続的に下降を停止させるため、比重差の異なる廃材同士の沈降 速度に顕著な格差を付与し、比重差による選別効果を高めて選別処理時間を短縮 することができる。 4. Since the descent is stopped intermittently when the water descends, a remarkable disparity is given to the sedimentation speed of the waste materials having different specific gravities, the sorting effect by the specific gravity difference is enhanced, and the sorting processing time can be shortened.
5.ロータリバルブ 10の開閉動作を上下脈動手段 6の脈動と連動させるため、脈動動 作をさせながら線状廃材を回収することができる等の効果を奏する。 5. Since the opening / closing operation of the rotary valve 10 is interlocked with the pulsation of the vertical pulsation means 6, it is possible to recover the linear waste material while performing the pulsation.
[0065] また、本実施形態の非鉄廃材選別システム 2によれば、 Further, according to the non-ferrous waste sorting system 2 of the present embodiment,
1.粒状物 73の粒径を適宜設定するため、最先の選別槽 5では粒状物 73の隙間に よって形状による選別を行うとともに、後続の選別槽 5では脈動する水を均一化させ、 高精度な選別を行うことができる。 1.In order to set the particle size of the granular material 73 as appropriate, in the first sorting tank 5, sorting is performed by the shape of the gap of the granular material 73, and in the subsequent sorting tank 5, the pulsating water is made uniform, Accurate sorting can be performed.
2.最先の選別槽 5からオーバーフローした水を、後続の選別槽 5で全て受け入れる ため、隣の選別槽 5へ送る部分での流速が大きぐ回収口 13付近の流速が小さくなり 各選別槽 5における水の流れが安定ィ匕する。また、水面下では、選別スクリーン部 7 上に層を形成した選別対象廃材が乱れるのを防止でき、水面では、シート状廃材を スムーズに次の選別槽 5へと流出させることができる。 2. Since all the water overflowing from the first sorting tank 5 is received by the following sorting tank 5, the flow velocity at the part where it is sent to the next sorting tank 5 is large. The water flow in 5 stabilizes. In addition, under the surface of the water, it is possible to prevent the sorting waste material having a layer formed on the sorting screen unit 7 from being disturbed. It can be smoothly discharged to the next sorting tank 5.
3.可変翼 8の傾斜角度を適宜設定するため、水面付近の横方向の流速を最終選別 槽 5まで維持することができ、かつ、後続の選別槽 5の水面下では横方向の流速を緩 和して、上下方向の脈動を確保することができる等の効果を奏する。 3. Since the inclination angle of the variable wings 8 is set appropriately, the horizontal flow velocity near the water surface can be maintained up to the final sorting tank 5, and the horizontal flow velocity can be moderated below the water level of the subsequent sorting tank 5. Thus, there is an effect that the pulsation in the vertical direction can be secured.
[0066] (2)線状廃材選別装置 (2) Linear waste material sorting device
つぎに、ステップ S4の線状廃材選別工程で使用される本実施形態の線状廃材選 別装置 3について図 7を参照しつつ説明する。なお、本線状廃材選別装置 3の構成 のうち、上述した非鉄廃材選別装置 1の構成と同一若しくは相当する構成について は同一の符号を付して再度の説明を省略する。 Next, the linear waste material sorting apparatus 3 of the present embodiment used in the linear waste material sorting step of step S4 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that, among the configurations of the linear waste material sorting apparatus 3, the same or corresponding components as those of the above-described non-ferrous waste material sorting apparatus 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0067] 本実施形態の線状廃材選別装置 3は、主として、水で満たされた選別槽 5と、この 選別槽 5内の水を上下方向に脈動させる上下脈動手段 6と、選別槽 5内を上下に仕 切る仕切網 14と、仕切網 14上に球状物を敷き詰めてなる線状廃材分離層 15と、こ の線状廃材分離層 15上で層を形成した廃材を回収するロータリフィーダ 9と、線状廃 材分離層 15下に落下した廃材を回収するロータリバルブ 10とから構成されている。 [0067] The linear waste material sorting apparatus 3 of the present embodiment mainly includes a sorting tank 5 filled with water, vertical pulsation means 6 for pulsating the water in the sorting tank 5 in the vertical direction, and a sorting tank 5 in the sorting tank 5. , A linear waste material separation layer 15 in which spherical objects are laid on the separation net 14, and a rotary feeder 9 that collects the waste material that has formed a layer on the linear waste material separation layer 9. And a rotary valve 10 for collecting waste material dropped below the linear waste material separation layer 15.
[0068] 本実施形態の線状廃材選別装置 3の各構成部についてより詳細に説明すると、仕 切網 14は、選別槽 5の平面断面とほぼ同形状の略正方形に形成されており、選別槽 5内の気室 61上方で水平に固定される。仕切網 14の網目は線状廃材を落下させら れるが、球状物を落下させない程度の大きさに形成されており、本実施形態では 9m mメッシュに形成されて!、る。 [0068] Each component of the linear waste material sorting apparatus 3 of the present embodiment will be described in more detail. The partitioning net 14 is formed in a substantially square shape having substantially the same shape as the plane cross section of the sorting tank 5. It is fixed horizontally above the air chamber 61 in the tank 5. The mesh of the partition net 14 is formed to have a size that allows the linear waste material to drop but does not allow the spherical objects to drop. In the present embodiment, the mesh is formed into a 9 mm mesh.
[0069] つぎに、線状廃材分離層 15は、混合廃材のうち選別対象である線状廃材の比重よ り小さぐかつ、残りの他の廃材の比重より大きい比重を有する球状物 15aによって構 成されている。本実施形態では、銅線屑よりも比重が小さぐ榭脂よりも比重の大きい 条件を満たすステンレス球 15aを使用している。このステンレス球 15aは重量および 形状がほぼ同一に形成されている。線状廃材分離層 15では、前述のステンレス球 1 5aを複数個仕切網 14上に敷き詰めて 3段に積層させている。 [0069] Next, the linear waste material separation layer 15 is composed of a spherical material 15a having a specific gravity smaller than the specific gravity of the linear waste material to be sorted out of the mixed waste materials and having a specific gravity larger than the specific gravity of the other remaining waste materials. Has been established. In this embodiment, the stainless steel balls 15a satisfying the condition that the specific gravity is smaller than the copper wire scrap and the specific gravity is larger than the resin are used. The stainless balls 15a are formed with substantially the same weight and shape. In the linear waste material separation layer 15, a plurality of the above-mentioned stainless steel balls 15a are spread on the partition net 14 and laminated in three stages.
[0070] 一方、選別槽 5は平面断面が略正方形等の正多角形若しくは円形に形成されてい る必要がある。これは、敷き詰められた球状物 15aと選別槽 5の壁面との摩擦力を各 辺でほぼ等しくすることにより、線状廃材分離層 15がー体的に上下動し、線状廃材 のみを下方へ案内するためである。したがって、選別槽 5が断面正多角形の場合、 一辺の長さが球状物 15aの直径で割り切れる値 (整数倍)に設定されており、図 8に 示すように、隣り合う他の球状物 15aと接触するように敷き詰められる。本実施形態で は、正方形断面の一辺が 600mmに対して 10mm径の球状物 15aを使用している。 [0070] On the other hand, the sorting tank 5 needs to be formed in a regular polygonal shape such as a substantially square shape or a circular shape in cross section. This is because the frictional force between the spread spherical object 15a and the wall surface of the sorting tank 5 is substantially equal on each side, so that the linear waste material separation layer 15 moves up and down physically, and the linear waste material This is for guiding only the lower part. Therefore, when the sorting tank 5 has a regular polygonal cross section, the length of one side is set to a value (an integer multiple) divisible by the diameter of the spherical object 15a, and as shown in FIG. It is spread so that it contacts. In the present embodiment, a spherical object 15a having a diameter of 10 mm is used for one side of a square cross section of 600 mm.
[0071] なお、球状物 15aとしてステンレス球 15a以外であっても、上記条件を満たせば他 の材料を使用してよい。また、本実施形態では試行錯誤の結果、球状物 15aを 3層 に積層させている力 これに限定されるものではない。 [0071] Other than the stainless steel ball 15a as the spherical object 15a, other materials may be used as long as the above conditions are satisfied. Further, in the present embodiment, as a result of trial and error, the force of laminating the spherical objects 15a in three layers is not limited to this.
[0072] つぎに、本実施形態の線状廃材選別装置 3を用いた線状廃材選別工程 (ステップ S4)について説明する。 Next, a linear waste material sorting step (step S4) using the linear waste material sorting apparatus 3 of the present embodiment will be described.
[0073] まず、上述したステップ S3にお 、て選別された銅線屑等の線状廃材が投入口 11 から投入され、線状廃材分離層 15上に落下する。この線状廃材分離層 15は、上下 脈動手段 6による水の上下脈動に伴って上下動する。その一方で、選別槽 5は平面 断面略正方形状に形成されており、かつ、重量および形状が同一の球状物 15aを使 用しているため、線状廃材分離層 15と選別槽 5の内壁面と接触面に発生する摩擦抵 抗はほぼ等しくなる。これにより、線状廃材分離層 15を構成する各球状物 15aはほ ぼ一体的に上下動を繰り返す。線状廃材分離層 15は、図 8に示すように、各球状物 15a間に適度な隙間を備えているため、当該球状物 15aより比重の大きい銅線屑等 は前記隙間から徐々に下方へと案内され、最終的には仕切網 14から排出口へと落 下される。 First, in step S3 described above, the linear waste materials such as copper wire scraps sorted out are introduced from the inlet 11 and fall onto the linear waste material separation layer 15. The linear waste material separation layer 15 moves up and down with the vertical pulsation of water by the vertical pulsation means 6. On the other hand, the sorting tank 5 is formed in a substantially square shape in cross section, and uses the spherical material 15a having the same weight and shape, so that the linear waste material separation layer 15 and the sorting tank 5 are formed. The frictional resistance generated between the wall and the contact surface is almost equal. Thus, the spherical objects 15a constituting the linear waste material separation layer 15 repeat vertical movements almost integrally. As shown in FIG. 8, the linear waste material separation layer 15 has an appropriate gap between the spherical objects 15a, so that copper wire debris having a higher specific gravity than the spherical object 15a gradually descends from the gap. Is finally dropped from the partition net 14 to the outlet.
[0074] 銅線屑は絡みやすいので塊になってそのままでは球状物 15a間を通れない場合も あるが、線状廃材分離層 15の各球状物 15aがー体的に上下動することにより塊を下 力 突き上げて塊をほぐし、隙間から落下できるようにする。さらに、銅線屑が仕切網 14の網目に引つ力かってしまう場合もある力 各球状物 15aが引っ掛力つている銅線 屑を上力も押し込むように衝突を繰り返すため、仕切網 14から外れて落下させられる 。以上のようにして選別分離された銅線屑は選別槽 5の最下部力もロータリバルブ 10 により排出される。 [0074] Since the copper wire debris is easily entangled, the copper wire debris may be in a lump and cannot pass between the spheres 15a as it is, but the lumps due to the vertical movement of each sphere 15a of the linear waste material separation layer 15 Push up to loosen the lump and allow it to fall through the gap. In addition, the copper wire debris may be attracted to the mesh of the partition net 14 in some cases. And fall. The copper wire scrap sorted and separated as described above is also discharged by the rotary valve 10 at the lowermost force of the sorting tank 5.
[0075] 一方、線状廃材分離層 15上では、榭脂屑うち、比重の大きい榭脂 (榭脂 Aとする) が比重差によって下層に積層されており、これをロータリフィーダ 9が回収する。比重 の小さ 、その他の榭脂 (榭脂 Bとする)は、回収口 13を乗り越えて別途回収される。 On the other hand, on the linear waste material separation layer 15, among the resin wastes, resin having a large specific gravity (hereinafter referred to as resin A) is laminated in a lower layer due to a difference in specific gravity, and this is collected by the rotary feeder 9. . specific gravity And other resin (hereinafter referred to as resin B) is recovered separately through the recovery port 13.
[0076] 以上、本実施形態の線状廃材選別装置 3によれば、 As described above, according to the linear waste material sorting apparatus 3 of the present embodiment,
1.絡みやすく比重差によっては選別しにくい銅線屑を精度良く選別することができる 1. It is possible to accurately sort copper wire debris that is difficult to sort due to specific gravity difference
2.選別槽 5の形状、球状物 15aの比重、重量および形状を限定することにより、線状 廃材分離層 15の上下脈動が乱れ過ぎないように抑制でき、絡み合った銅線屑をほ ぐして分離したり、仕切網 14に引っ掛力つた銅線屑を網下に分離することができる。2.By limiting the shape of the sorting tank 5 and the specific gravity, weight and shape of the spherical object 15a, the vertical pulsation of the linear waste material separation layer 15 can be suppressed so as not to be too disturbed, and the entangled copper wire debris can be released. Copper wire debris that has been separated or hooked on the partition net 14 can be separated under the net.
3. ロータリバルブ 10の開閉動作を上下脈動手段 6の上下方向の脈動と連動させて 気室 61の排気動作の際に銅線屑を回収するため、排水を極力抑えることができる等 の効果を奏する。 3. The opening and closing operation of the rotary valve 10 is linked with the vertical pulsation of the vertical pulsation means 6 to collect copper wire debris when the air chamber 61 is evacuated, so that drainage can be minimized. Play.
[0077] (3)軽量廃材選別装置 [0077] (3) Lightweight waste material sorting device
つぎに、ステップ S7の第 1軽量廃材選別工程で使用される本実施形態の軽量廃材 選別装置 4について図 9を参照しつつ説明する。なお、本軽量廃材選別装置 4の構 成のうち、上述した非鉄廃材選別装置 1および線状廃材選別装置 3の構成と同一若 しくは相当する構成については同一の符号を付して再度の説明を省略する。 Next, the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment used in the first lightweight waste material sorting step of step S7 will be described with reference to FIG. In the configuration of the lightweight waste material sorting device 4, the same or corresponding components as those of the non-ferrous waste material sorting device 1 and the linear waste material sorting device 3 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and are described again. Is omitted.
[0078] 本実施形態の軽量廃材選別装置 4は、榭脂等の軽量な廃材であって脈動の影響 を大きく受けやすい、し力も比重差力 、さい廃材を選別するための装置である。例え ば、高分子化合物の比重を挙げれば、塩ビは 1. 35-1. 55、 PSは 1. 04-1. 06、 ΡΕίま 0. 94—0. 97、ΡΡίま 0. 90—0. 91、ABSiま 1. 05—1. 22であり、!/ヽずれも 比重が小さぐ各比重差は小さいため、沈殿層を形成しにくぐ比重差による選別が 難しい。そこで、本軽量廃材選別装置 4は、主として、水で満たされた選別槽 5と、こ の選別槽 5内の水を上下方向に脈動させる上下脈動手段 6と、選別槽 5内を上下に 仕切る傾斜選別スクリーン部 16と、この傾斜選別スクリーン部 16上で層を形成した廃 材を回収するロータリフィーダ 9とから構成されて 、る。 [0078] The lightweight waste sorting device 4 of the present embodiment is a device for sorting waste materials that are lightweight waste materials such as resin and are easily affected by pulsation, have a specific gravity difference force, and have a small force. For example, if the specific gravity of a polymer compound is given, PVC is 1.35-1.55, PS is 1.04-1.06, Pama 0.94-0.97, Pama 0.90-0. 91, ABSi or 1.05—1.22! The difference in specific gravity is small because the specific gravity is small. Therefore, the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 mainly separates the sorting tank 5 filled with water, the vertical pulsation means 6 for pulsating the water in the sorting tank 5 in the vertical direction, and the sorting tank 5 up and down. It comprises an inclined sorting screen section 16 and a rotary feeder 9 for collecting the waste material having a layer formed on the inclined sorting screen section 16.
[0079] 本実施形態の軽量廃材選別装置 4の各構成部についてより詳細に説明すると、傾 斜選別スクリーン部 16は、選別槽 5内を上下に仕切る床網 71と、この床網 71の上方 に配置される天井網 16aと、この天井網 16aと床網 71との隙間に積層される複数の 粒状物 73とを備えている。天井網 16aは、床網 71と同様、選別槽 5の平面断面とほ ぼ同形状の略正方形に形成されており、粒状物 73が通過しない程度の網目を有し ている。また、図 9に示すように、天井網 16aは回収口 13側へ下降傾斜されており、 軽量な軽量廃材がゆっくり傾斜面に沿って回収口 13へと移送されるようになっている 。また、回収口 13に近いほど粒状物 73の数を減らして傾斜選別スクリーン部 16の厚 さを薄くしている。これは、榭脂を回収する場合、回収口 13近くでの積層厚さが厚い ほど選別品位がよくなるためであり、回収口 13近くでは榭脂を押し上げる水の強さを 強くしている。このような傾斜選別スクリーン部 16による選別効果は比重差が 0. 001 以上、より好ましくは 0. 5以上の場合によりょく発揮される。 [0079] The respective components of the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment will be described in more detail. The inclined sorting screen section 16 includes a floor net 71 that partitions the inside of the sorting tank 5 up and down, and a floor net 71 above the floor net 71. And a plurality of granular materials 73 stacked in gaps between the ceiling net 16a and the floor net 71. The ceiling net 16a is similar to the floor net 71, and has a plane cross-section It is formed in a substantially square shape, and has a mesh that does not allow the granular material 73 to pass through. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the ceiling net 16a is inclined downward toward the collection port 13, so that light and lightweight waste materials are slowly transferred to the collection port 13 along the inclined surface. Further, the number of the granular materials 73 is reduced closer to the collection port 13 so that the thickness of the inclined sorting screen section 16 is reduced. This is because, when collecting resin, the higher the lamination thickness near the collection port 13 is, the better the sorting quality is. Near the collection port 13, the strength of the water that pushes up the resin is increased. Such a sorting effect by the inclined sorting screen section 16 is more effectively exerted when the difference in specific gravity is 0.001 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more.
[0080] また、図 10に示すように、回収口 13の内部には、ロータリフィーダ 9が設けられてお り、回収口 13の上側端部からロータリフィーダ 9の外周へ引いた接線の傾斜角 /3力 天井網 16aの傾斜角 α以上の大きさになるように設定されている。これは、投入され た軽量廃材をロータリフィーダ 9が淀みなく回収するためである。もし、傾斜角度を逆 の関係にすると、回収口 13の上側端部がロータリフィーダ 9に引き込まれる廃材の進 路を妨害し、投入した廃材の回収量が低下するため選別槽 5内に選別した廃材が滞 留してしまう。 Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a rotary feeder 9 is provided inside the collection port 13, and the inclination angle of a tangent drawn from the upper end of the collection port 13 to the outer periphery of the rotary feeder 9. / 3 force The ceiling net 16a is set to be larger than the inclination angle α of 16a. This is because the rotary feeder 9 collects the inputted lightweight waste material without stagnation. If the inclination angle is reversed, the upper end of the recovery port 13 obstructs the path of the waste material drawn into the rotary feeder 9 and the collected waste material is collected in the sorting tank 5 because the amount of recovered waste material decreases. Waste material accumulates.
[0081] さらに、回収口 13の内部には、隣の選別槽 5に廃材を流出させる流出板 17の下面 力 脈動減衰板 18が垂下されている。この脈動減衰板 18は、上下の脈動が回収口 13内に伝播するのを防ぐためのものであり、脈動の振幅が変化しても選別 ·分離した 軽量廃材が噴出しないように振幅を減衰させる。脈動減衰板 18はロータリフィーダ 9 上に設けられており、脈動の振幅に応じて任意の長さに設定される。例えば脈動サイ クルが速い、換言すれば振幅が小さい場合には脈動減衰板 18の長さを短くすれば よぐ逆に脈動サイクルが遅い、換言すれば振幅が大きい場合には脈動減衰板 18の 長さを長く形成しなければならない。なお、この脈動減衰板 18の下端は、前述した回 収ロ 13とロータリフィーダ 9とを結ぶ接線上となるように設定されており、回収量に影 響を与えないようにされている。なお、脈動減衰板 18の下端は前記接線より下方に 突設して!/、なければよ!、。回収される廃材の進路を確保するためである。 Further, inside the recovery port 13, a pulsation damping plate 18 on the lower surface of the outflow plate 17 for discharging waste material to the adjacent sorting tank 5 is hung down. The pulsation damping plate 18 is for preventing the upper and lower pulsations from propagating into the recovery port 13, and attenuates the amplitude so that the separated and separated lightweight waste material is not ejected even if the pulsation amplitude changes. . The pulsation damping plate 18 is provided on the rotary feeder 9 and is set to an arbitrary length according to the amplitude of the pulsation. For example, when the pulsation cycle is fast, in other words, when the amplitude is small, the length of the pulsation damping plate 18 is shortened, and conversely, the pulsation cycle is slow. The length must be long. The lower end of the pulsation damping plate 18 is set so as to be on a tangent line connecting the collecting rotor 13 and the rotary feeder 9 described above so as not to affect the recovered amount. In addition, the lower end of the pulsation damping plate 18 protrudes below the tangent line! This is to secure a route for the collected waste materials.
[0082] また、回収口 13と脈動減衰板 18との間には、回収される軽量廃材が上下に動く幅 を抑制するための廃材上下動抑制板 19が設けられている。この廃材上下動抑制板 1 9は、ロータリフィーダ 9による回収方向へ上方傾斜されており、回収口 13内に伝わる 波をロータリフィーダ 9側へ反射させるようになつている。もし、廃材上下動抑制板 19 が回収方向へ下方傾斜させると、回収口 13内に浸入した水が反射してしまい、脈動 減衰板 18によって減衰させた波が選別槽 5内に逆流してしまう。廃材上下動抑制板 19の傾斜度は上下脈動によって任意に設定され、例えば脈動サイクルが速くて振幅 力 S小さい場合には、傾斜度は小さく水平に近くてもよいが、脈動サイクルが遅くて振 幅が大き ヽ場合には、傾斜度は大きくしなければならな 、。 [0082] Further, between the collection port 13 and the pulsation damping plate 18, a waste material vertical movement suppressing plate 19 for suppressing the width of the collected lightweight waste material moving up and down is provided. This waste material vertical movement suppression plate 1 Numeral 9 is inclined upward in the direction of collection by the rotary feeder 9, and reflects waves transmitted into the collection port 13 to the rotary feeder 9 side. If the waste material vertical movement suppressing plate 19 is inclined downward in the collecting direction, the water that has entered the collecting port 13 is reflected, and the waves attenuated by the pulsation damping plate 18 flow back into the sorting tank 5. . The inclination of the waste material vertical movement suppressing plate 19 is arbitrarily set by vertical pulsation.For example, when the pulsation cycle is fast and the amplitude power S is small, the inclination may be small and close to horizontal, but the pulsation cycle is slow and vibration If the width is large, the slope must be increased.
[0083] つぎに、本実施形態の軽量廃材選別装置 4を用いた第 1軽量廃材選別工程 (ステ ップ S7)について図 9を参照しつつ説明する。 Next, a first lightweight waste material sorting step (step S7) using the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0084] まず、上述したステップ S3にお!/、て選別された後、ステップ S5にお!/、て破砕された ABS榭脂ゃ PS、ゴム類等の軽量廃材を投入口 11に投入する。投入された軽量廃 材のうち微粉末ィ匕した榭脂は、別途、微粉末回収部 20で回収され、残りの榭脂は、 水車式フィーダ 12を介して傾斜選別スクリーン部 16上に供給される。選別槽 5内で は、上下脈動手段 6が水を上下方向に脈動させているため、この脈動に伴って軽量 廃材は比重差により選別される。 [0084] First, in step S3 described above, after sorting, in step S5, the lightweight waste materials such as ABS, fat, PS, rubber, and the like, which are crushed in step S5, are put into the input port 11. . The finely powdered resin from the input lightweight waste material is separately collected in a fine powder recovery section 20, and the remaining resin is supplied to an inclined sorting screen section 16 via a water wheel feeder 12. You. In the sorting tank 5, since the vertical pulsation means 6 pulsates the water in the vertical direction, the pulsation causes the light weight waste material to be sorted by the specific gravity difference.
[0085] 比重差によって下層に沈降する軽量廃材は、上下動を繰り返しながら天井網 16a の傾斜面に沿って回収口 13側へと移送される。したがって、投入口 11側で沈降する 軽量廃材も回収口 13へと導いてムラなく回収される。一方、傾斜選別スクリーン部 16 上には軽量廃材が回収口 13側ほど厚く積層している力 図 10に示すように、選別ス クリーン内の粒状物 73が回収口 13側ほど薄く積層されているため、回収口 13近くを 通過する水の流速は減速することなぐ沈降した廃材を均一に上下動させる。 [0085] The lightweight waste material settling in the lower layer due to the difference in specific gravity is transferred to the recovery port 13 side along the inclined surface of the ceiling net 16a while repeating vertical movement. Therefore, the light-weight waste material that settles on the input port 11 side is also led to the recovery port 13 and collected evenly. On the other hand, on the inclined sorting screen section 16, the light waste material is stacked thicker on the collection port 13 side.As shown in Fig. 10, the granular material 73 in the sorting screen is stacked thinner on the collection port 13 side. Therefore, the flow velocity of the water passing near the recovery port 13 does not slow down, and the settled waste material is moved up and down uniformly.
[0086] 最下層には塩ビおよびゴム類が沈殿し、その上に ABS榭脂が積層している。このう ち塩ビおよびゴム類をロータリフィーダ 9により回収する。回収口 13内では、選別槽 5 内の脈動が伝播するが、脈動減衰板 18が回収口 13内の水の脈動を減衰するととも に、廃材上下動抑制板 19が回収される軽量廃材の上下動を抑制するため、分離回 収した軽量廃材が高!ヽ選別精度で回収される。 [0086] In the lowermost layer, PVC and rubbers are precipitated, on which ABS resin is laminated. The PVC and rubber are collected by the rotary feeder 9. In the recovery port 13, the pulsation in the sorting tank 5 propagates, but the pulsation damping plate 18 attenuates the pulsation of the water in the recovery port 13 and the waste material vertical movement suppression plate 19 moves up and down the lightweight waste material to be recovered. Lightweight waste separated and recovered to reduce movement!回収 Collected with sorting accuracy.
[0087] また、回収口 13付近では、下層に沈殿する軽量廃材が回収口 13内に引き込まれ る際、上層の軽量廃材が崩れて混入してしまうおそれがあるが、廃材上下動抑制板 1 9が、回収口 13内の軽量廃材の上下動幅を低減するため、穏やかに軽量廃材を回 収し、上層の廃材が混入するのを防止する。 [0087] In the vicinity of the recovery port 13, when the lightweight waste material settling in the lower layer is drawn into the recovery port 13, the upper layer lightweight waste material may collapse and mix. 9 gently collects the lightweight waste material in order to reduce the vertical movement width of the lightweight waste material in the collection port 13 and prevents upper layer waste material from being mixed.
[0088] 回収された塩ビおよびゴム類は、ステップ S8の第 2軽量廃材選別工程で用いられ る軽量廃材選別装置 4へと搬送され、この装置によってさらに塩ビとゴム類とに選別さ れる。 [0088] The collected PVC and rubbers are conveyed to the lightweight waste material sorting device 4 used in the second lightweight waste material sorting step in step S8, and further sorted into PVC and rubbers by this device.
[0089] 本軽量廃材選別装置 4においても、上述した非鉄廃材選別装置 1と同様に、各選 別槽 5の上下脈動サイクルの水の下降時において気室 61内の空気を断続的に排気 し、しかも水の下降時における単位時間当たりの排気量を水の上昇時における単位 時間当たりの給気量よりも大きく設定して、強く力を加えて下降させている。したがつ て、一時的に下降を停止された水が、再び下降する際に比重差の異なる廃材同士の 沈降速度を増幅し、より比重格差を大きくする。 [0089] Also in the present lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4, similarly to the non-ferrous waste material sorting apparatus 1 described above, the air in the air chamber 61 is intermittently exhausted when the water in the vertical pulsation cycle of each sorting tank 5 descends. In addition, the amount of exhaust per unit time when the water descends is set to be larger than the amount of air supply per unit time when the water rises, and the force is applied strongly to descend. Therefore, the temporarily suspended water, when descending again, amplifies the sedimentation speed of the waste materials with different specific gravities and further increases the specific gravity disparity.
[0090] なお、本軽量廃材選別装置 4においては、傾斜選別スクリーン部 16内の粒状物 73 を回収口 13側で薄く積層させているが、これに限られるものではなぐ分離させる廃 材の比重差が 0. 5以下のような場合には、一定の厚さで積層した傾斜選別スクリー ン部 16を使用してもよい。 [0090] In the present lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4, the particulate matter 73 in the inclined sorting screen portion 16 is thinly stacked on the collection port 13 side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific gravity of the waste material to be separated is not limited to this. In the case where the difference is 0.5 or less, the inclined sorting screen section 16 laminated with a constant thickness may be used.
[0091] 以上のような本実施形態の軽量廃材選別装置 4によれば、 [0091] According to the lightweight waste material sorting apparatus 4 of the present embodiment as described above,
1.榭脂のような軽量で比重差の小さいものが混在する混合廃材を穏ゃ力な上下脈 動によって精度良く選別することができる。 1. It is possible to accurately sort mixed waste materials such as resin that are lightweight and have a small specific gravity difference by gentle vertical pulsation.
2.天井網 16aを傾斜させることにより投入口 11側に沈殿する軽量廃材も確実に回 収することができるし、回収口 13側に軽量廃材を厚く積層させて選別品位を高めるこ とがでさる。 2. By inclining the ceiling net 16a, it is possible to reliably collect light-weight waste material that settles on the input port 11 side, and it is possible to increase the sorting quality by stacking thick light-weight waste material on the collection port 13 side. Monkey
3.回収口 13内の環境を穏やかに維持することができ、一旦回収された軽量廃材が 逆流したり、沈殿層を崩したりするのを防止することができる等の効果を奏する。 3. The environment in the collection port 13 can be maintained gently, and the effects of preventing the once collected light-weight waste material from flowing back and breaking the sedimentary layer can be prevented.
[0092] 以上のように、本実施形態の混合廃材の選別工程によれば、比重や形状の異なる 多種多様な混合廃材を高精度に選別して分離回収することができる。 [0092] As described above, according to the mixed waste material sorting step of the present embodiment, a wide variety of mixed waste materials having different specific gravities and shapes can be accurately separated and collected.
[0093] なお、本発明に係る非鉄廃材選別装置 1およびこれを用いた非鉄廃材選別システ ム 2は、前述した実施形態に限定されるものではなぐ適宜変更することができる。 [0093] The non-ferrous waste sorting apparatus 1 and the non-ferrous waste sorting system 2 using the same according to the present invention can be appropriately modified without being limited to the above-described embodiment.
[0094] 例えば、本実施形態では、非鉄廃材選別装置 1を 3基連設させて非鉄廃材選別シ ステム 2を構成しているがこれに限られるものではなぐ選別しょうとする混合廃材の 種類数に応じて増減させてょ ヽ。 [0094] For example, in the present embodiment, three non-ferrous waste material sorting devices 1 are connected in series to form a non-ferrous waste material sorting system. The stem 2 is not limited to this, but should be increased or decreased according to the number of types of mixed waste to be sorted.
[0095] また、本実施形態では、水を用いて比重差による選別をさせているがこれに限らず 、選別対象が軽量物の場合には、塩水を用いてもよい。 [0095] Further, in the present embodiment, the water is used for sorting based on the difference in specific gravity. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the object to be sorted is a light-weight material, salt water may be used.
