Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine medizinische Abfallzerkleinerungsanlage, beStehend aus einem zusammenhängenden, mehrere Abschnitte aufweisenden Gehäuse, das in seinem oberen Bereich einen Zerkleinerer mit einem anschließenden Gleitschacht für die Führung des zerkleinerten Gutes in einem Separator enthält, wobei der Separator zur Trennung der Flüssigkeit und der Feststoffe vorgesehen ist, und wobei das Gehäuse durch einen Ständer in einer das Auswechseln der Abfallgefäße ermöglichenden Höhe fixiert ist.The invention relates to a medical waste shredding system, consisting of a coherent, multi-section housing, which in its upper area contains a shredder with a subsequent slide shaft for guiding the shredded material in a separator, the separator being provided for separating the liquid and the solids is, and wherein the housing is fixed by a stand at a height that allows the replacement of the waste containers.

Eine Abfallzerkleinerungsanlage der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der US-A- 4 759 508 bekannt. Unterhalb der Zerkleinerungseinheit ist bei der bekannten Anlage eine Fördereinheit angeordnet, die aus zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordneten Siebflächen besteht, die von einem Motor in eine vibrierende Bewegung versetzt werden.A waste crushing plant of the type mentioned is known from US-A-4 759 508. In the known system, a conveyor unit is arranged below the comminution unit, which consists of two screen surfaces arranged at a distance from one another, which are set in a vibrating motion by a motor.

Das mit der bekannten Anlage zerkleinerte Gut - es handelt sich um Glasbehälter, wie z.B. Ampullen - wird von dem Zerkleinerer über die Transporteinheit zu einer seitlich von der Zerkleinerungsanlage entfernt angeordneten Sammeltrommel befördert und dort über ein elastisches Anschlußrohr aus der Anlage entfernt. Sobald der Sammelbehälter gefüllt ist, wird das elastische Anschlußrohr nach oben weggezogen und der gefüllte Behälter durch einen neuen Sammelbehälter ersetzt.The material comminuted with the known system - it is a glass container, such as ampoules - is conveyed by the comminutor via the transport unit to a collecting drum arranged to the side of the comminution system and removed there from the system via an elastic connecting pipe. As soon as the collecting container is filled, the elastic connecting pipe is pulled upwards and the filled container is replaced by a new collecting container.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine kompakte Zerkleinerungsanlage für medizinische Abfälle zu schaffen, mit der die Feststoffe in ein hohlraumarmes Gemisch unter weitestgehender Verhinderung von Staubaustritt in die Atmosphäre überführt werden und bei der das Auswechseln der Gefäße vereinfacht ist.The object of the present invention is to provide a compact shredder for medical waste, with which the solids are transferred into a low-void mixture with the greatest possible prevention of dust escaping into the atmosphere and with which the exchange of the vessels is simplified.

Die Aufgagbe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 zu entnehmen.The task is solved according to the invention by the features specified in claim 1. Preferred developments of the invention can be found in claims 2 and 3.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß in einem zusammenhängenden, jedoch aus mehreren Abschnitten bestegenden Gehäuse in seinem oberen Bereich ein Zerkleinerer mit einem anschliessenden Gleitschacht für die Führung des zerkleinerte Gutes in einen Separator angeordnet ist, wobei der Separator zur Trennung der Flüssigkeit und der Feststoffe vorgesehen ist und eine Lagerung am Boden des Gehäuses sowie je einem Auslauf für die Flüssigkeit und Feststoffe aufweist, und das Gehäuse durch eine Ständer in einer das Auswechseln der Abfallgefäße ermöglichenden Höhe fixiert ist.The solution according to the invention essentially consists in that a shredder with a subsequent slide shaft for guiding the shredded material into a separator is arranged in a coherent, but consisting of several sections housing in its upper region, the separator being provided for separating the liquid and the solids and being stored on the floor of the housing and each have an outlet for the liquid and solids, and the housing is fixed by a stand at a height which enables the replacement of the waste containers.

Das so aufbereitete Abfallgut kann - in der Regel, d.h. soweit es nicht infektiös ist -, durch die Hausmüllbeseitigung aufgenommen werden, wobei allerdings durch nachfolgende Verfahren eine weitere Volumenreduktion erreicht werden kann. Hierbei ist insbesondere an eine pyrolytische Nachbehandlung zu denken.The waste material prepared in this way can - as a rule, ie insofar as it is not infectious - be taken up by household waste disposal, although a further reduction in volume can be achieved by the following processes. A pyrolytic aftertreatment should be considered here in particular.

Das Antriebssystem treibt also mit einer durchgehend geführten Welle einen horizontal gegliederten Zweiwellen-Zwangszerkleinerer und einen senkrecht hierzu angetriebenen zentrifugenartig konzipierten Separator in einem Gehäuse an. Des weiteren ist, fluchtend mit der Lagerung des Separatorbodens im Gehäuseboden, eine für die mehrzahlige Aufstellung von Flüssigkeits- und Feststoffgefäßen angeordnete Drehscheibe vorgesehen, die nach dem Verfüllen durch ein Ausschwenken der Gefäße die Durchführung jweils eines Verschlusses, z. B. eines Schweißverschlusses, ermöglicht.The drive system uses a continuously guided shaft to drive a horizontally structured twin-shaft shredder and a centrifuge-type separator that is driven perpendicular to it in a housing. Furthermore, in alignment with the storage of the separator base in the housing base, a turntable arranged for the multiple installation of liquid and solid vessels is provided, which after filling by swiveling out of the vessels sometimes carries out a closure, e.g. B. a welded closure.

Zum Separator ist festzustellen, daß dieser einen topfartig noch oben gezogenen Rand ausweist und dem Boden konzentrisch ein kegelstumpfförmiges Sieb verbunden ist, in das der Gleitschacht einmündet und in dem, zur inneren Siebfläche des Siebes gerichtet, ein die Feststoffschicht abhebender Schaber angeschlossen ist, der zu einem stationär im geneigten Gehäuseboden vorgesehenen ersten Auslaß für die Feststoffe gerichtet ist und der periphere Bereich des Separatorbodens ein Siebteil bildet, in das der im geneigten Gehäuseboden vorgesehene zweite Auslauf für die Flüssigkeit einmündet.Regarding the separator, it should be noted that this has a pot-like edge still drawn upwards and a truncated cone-shaped sieve is concentrically connected to the bottom, into which the slide shaft opens and in which, directed towards the inner sieve surface of the sieve, a scraper lifting off the solid layer is connected a stationary first outlet for the solids provided in the inclined housing base and the peripheral region of the separator base forms a sieve part into which the second outlet for the liquid provided in the inclined housing base opens.

Abschließend wird noch vorgeschlagen, daß zur Unterdrückung der Staubentwicklung und zur Desinfektion im Bereich des Zerkleinerers, einleitend in den Separator, eine Vorrichtung zur Oberflächenbehandlung des zerkleinerten Gutes vorgesehen ist, die eine sichere Lagerung des so aufbereiteten medizinischen Abfalls als Hausmüll zuläßt.Finally, it is proposed that a device for surface treatment of the shredded material is provided to suppress the development of dust and for disinfection in the area of the shredder, leading into the separator, which device permits safe storage of the medical waste thus processed as domestic waste.

Die Erfindung wird durch die beigefügte Zeichnung einer medizinischen Abfallzerkleinerungsanlage in im wesentlichen schematischer. Darstellung näher erläutert.

The invention is illustrated in an essentially schematic manner by the attached drawing of a medical waste crushing plant. Presentation explained in more detail.
Figure 1
shows the overall view of the waste crushing plant including an outlet for the liquid and the solids.
Figure 2
shows in the floor plan the turntable for the installation of the waste containers.

Die Abfallzerkleinerungsanlage 1 baut im wesentlichen in einem aus mehreren Abschnitten bestehenden Gehäuse 2 auf. Im oberen Bereich dieses Gehäuses 2 ist ein Doppelwellenzwangszerkleinerer 3, dessen Zerkleinerungswellen 3.1 durch eine Stirnradpaarung 3.2 verbunden sind, vorgesehen. Eine der austretenden Wellen 3.3 trägt ein relativ groß gehaltenes Tellerrad 3.4 für den später weiter beschriebenen Antrieb.The waste comminution system 1 is essentially constructed in a housing 2 consisting of several sections. In the upper area of this housing 2 there is a double-shaft positive shredder 3, the shredding shafts 3.1 of which are connected by a spur gear pair 3.2. One of the emerging shafts 3.3 carries a relatively large ring gear 3.4 for the drive described later.

Das zerkleinerte Gut führt über einen Gleitschacht 4 in den Separator 5 ein, der durch einen topfartigen Rand 5.1 abgegrenzt ist. Der Separatorboden 5.2 trägt ein konzentrisch angeordnetes, kegelstumpfförmiges Sieb 5.3, wobei der verbleibende periphere Bodenbereich 5.5 ebenfalls mit einem ringförmigen Siebteil 5.4 ausgebildet ist. Das kegelstumpfförmige Sieb 5.3 übernimmt dabei die Funktion des Trennsiebes.The comminuted material leads through a slide shaft 4 into the separator 5, which is delimited by a pot-like edge 5.1. The separator bottom 5.2 carries a concentrically arranged, truncated cone-shaped sieve 5.3, the remaining peripheral bottom region 5.5 also being formed with an annular sieve part 5.4. The frustoconical sieve 5.3 takes over the function of the separating sieve.

An der nach innen gerichteten Neigung der Siebfläche lagern sich die Feststoffteile ab und werden durch einen abhebenden Schaber 4.1 von der Wandung gelöst und durch die Öffnung 5.5 im Separatorboden 5.2 in den Auslauf 2.5 für die Feststoffe geleitet. Die Flüssigkeit wird, zentrifugalkraftbedingt, durch das kegelförmige Sieb 5.3 weiter verdrängt, an den topfartigen Rand 5.1 niedergeschlagen und über das im Boden plan angeordnete, ringförmige Siebteil 5.4 über den Auslauf 2.4 zu dem Flüssigeitsgefäß 6.3 abgeschieden.The solid parts are deposited on the inward inclination of the sieve surface and are removed from the wall by a lifting scraper 4.1 and passed through the opening 5.5 in the separator base 5.2 into the outlet 2.5 for the solids. Due to the centrifugal force, the liquid is further displaced by the conical sieve 5.3, deposited on the pot-like edge 5.1 and separated out via the outlet 2.4 to the liquid vessel 6.3 via the annular sieve part 5.4 which is arranged flat in the bottom.

Die verwendeten Gefäße 6.3 und 6.4 sind in ihrem oberen Randbereich für die Anordnung eines Kunststoffschweißverschlusses entsprechend ausgebildet.The vessels 6.3 and 6.4 used are appropriately designed in their upper edge area for the arrangement of a plastic weld closure.

Auf der Anlage ist der Antriebsmotor 7 vorgesehen, der über eine Abtriebswelle 7.1 zunächst das Kegelradritzel 7.2 für den Antrieb des Tellerrades 3.4 und in dessen Verlängerung den Antrieb des Stirn-oder Reibrades 7.3 ermöglicht. Dieses Rad 7.3 greift in einen den Separator 5 umfassenden Stirn- oder Reibkranz 8 ein. Unterhalb der Zentralen des Separators 5 ist eine Drehscheibe 9 für die Aufstellung der Gefäße 6.3 und 6.4 vorgesehen, wobei auf die Beschreibung dieser Einzelheit verzichtet wird.On the system, the drive motor 7 is provided, which, via an output shaft 7.1, first enables the bevel gear pinion 7.2 for the drive of the ring gear 3.4 and, in its extension, the drive of the face or friction wheel 7.3. This wheel 7.3 engages in a front or friction ring 8 comprising the separator 5. Below the centers of the separator 5, a turntable 9 is provided for the installation of the vessels 6.3 and 6.4, the description of this detail being omitted.

Durch die Beschickung mündet eine Vorrichtung 10 zur Oberflächenbehandlung der zerkleinerten Teile ein, mit dem Ziel, einmal die Staubbildung weitgehend zu unterdrücken und die Infektionsgefahr auf eine Minimum zu reduzieren.Through the loading, a device 10 for surface treatment of the shredded parts opens, with the aim of largely suppressing the formation of dust and reducing the risk of infection to a minimum.

Ergänzend ist zu bemerken, daß das Gehäuse 2 durch den Ständer 2.1 in einem die Manipulation der Gefäße 6.3 und 6.4 ermöglichenden Abstand getragen wird und zwar durch drei Klötze 11 auf einer Arbeitsplatte.In addition, it should be noted that the housing 2 is carried by the stand 2.1 at a distance which enables the manipulation of the vessels 6.3 and 6.4, namely by three blocks 11 on a worktop.
