[0005] For this reason, in the above-mentioned conventional method, in order to avoid mixing of the processing liquids, a dedicated centrifugal dewatering machine is used for each processing liquid, or every time the type of the processing liquid changes, the centrifugal dewatering is performed. It was necessary to wash the inside of the liquid machine to remove the adhering liquid. The former is uneconomical and the latter has a problem in that workability and productivity are poor.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and even if there are two or more types of processing liquids, a centrifugal dewatering machine can be used to easily separate and collect the processing liquid after the liquid removal processing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid method and an apparatus used for the method.

[0007]

In the inner tank A, the outer cylinder part 1 and the inner cylinder part 2 are formed of a non-perforated plate so that liquid does not leak from the peripheral side part and the bottom part.

The lid 3 has a central protruding portion 3a and a flange portion 3b fitted to the upper portion of the inner cylindrical portion 2, and the central portion of the central protruding portion 3a has the first stopper 5b An opening 3c having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the opening 3c is formed. Further, on the outer peripheral portion of the opening 3c, a male screw body 6 is provided at a position corresponding to the male screw body 6.
An opening 3d having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the opening 3d is formed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the collection tank 20 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a liquid storage portion 21 having an open top is provided along the inner peripheral surface thereof. In addition, a liquid drain valve 22 is provided in the reservoir 21. Further, a flange portion 23 is formed at an upper end of the collection tank 20 along an opening edge, and an annular portion 24 for hooking a hook such as a crane is provided on an upper surface of the flange portion 23. And, at the lower peripheral edge of the collection tank 20,
A leg 25 is provided. Further, the flange portion 23
Is formed larger than the outer diameter of the inner tank A. Further, the height of the collecting tank 20 is set higher than the upper end opening of the inner tank A when the inner tank A and the collecting tank 20 are installed in the centrifugal dewatering machine M. The height of the upper open surface of the portion 21 is set lower than the upper end opening of the inner tank A. Then, the collection tanks 20 having the above-described configuration are prepared by the number of types of the processing liquid.

The impregnation or immersion treatment using the inner tank A can be performed, for example, as follows. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the processing target member P is loaded into the gap between the outer cylinder part 1 and the inner cylinder part 2 of the inner tank A, and the first processing liquid L is injected. Then, by maintaining the predetermined time, the first impregnation process or the like is completed.

When the impregnation process or the like is completed, first, a hook of a crane or the like is hooked on the annular portion 24 of the collection tank 20 shown in FIG. 4 to be lifted and transported, and as shown in FIG. It is housed in the centrifugal drainer M. Then, the lid 3
Is attached to the inner tank A, and the nut 8 is screwed and fixed to the male screw body 6. Then, a hook of a crane or the like is hooked on the annular portion 5a of the fixture 5 to be lifted and transported, and the inner tank A containing the processing target member P and the first processing liquid L is located inside the collection tank 20. In the centrifugal dewatering machine M as described above. At this time, the inner cylinder part 2 of the inner tank A is fitted to the rotating part R of the centrifugal dewatering machine M. Then, the male screw 5 of the fixture 5
c and the female screw 7 formed at the upper end of the rotating part R are screwed together to fix the inner tank A to the rotating part R. after that,
The centrifugal dewatering machine M is operated as usual, and the dewatering process is performed.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 9 denotes an opening / closing lid of the centrifugal dewatering machine M;
Is an opening / closing device for the opening / closing lid 9, 11 is a support column of the centrifugal dewatering machine M, 12 is a rotation drive unit of the centrifugal dewatering machine M, and 13 is a rotation drive transmission unit.

When the liquid removal processing is performed in this manner, the processing target member P and the first processing liquid L are not located on the rotating shaft portion of the rotating portion R, and therefore, the processing target member P and the first processing liquid L are not positioned.
Centrifugal force surely acts on the processing liquid L. Since the inner peripheral surface 1a of the outer cylindrical portion 1 is formed wider as it goes upward, the first processing liquid L separated from the processing target member P and the excess first processing liquid L are centrifugally applied. Then, after ascending along the inner peripheral surface 1a of the outer cylindrical portion 1 to the upper end edge of the outer cylindrical portion 1, it is centrifugally separated. At this time, the member to be processed P also rises along the inner peripheral surface 1a of the outer cylindrical portion 1, but is pressed by the flange portion 3b of the lid 3, and the member to be processed P jumps out of the inner tank A. Will be blocked. Therefore, the first
Only the processing liquid L rises to the upper end edge of the outer cylinder part 1 and separates by centrifugation.

Then, the first processing liquid L separated by centrifugation accumulates in the liquid reservoir 21 of the collection tank 20. After that, the fixing between the rotating part R of the centrifugal dewatering machine M and the inner tank A is released, and the collecting tank 20 is removed from the centrifugal dewatering machine M following the inner tank A by a crane or the like. Next, the drain valve 22 of the collection tank 20
Is opened, and the first processing liquid L collected in the liquid storage part 21 is collected. Then, the collected first processing liquid L is reused.

Next, the lid 3 of the inner tank A taken out of the centrifugal dewatering machine M is removed, and a gap of a different type from the first processing liquid L is provided in the gap between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2. Inject the second processing solution. Then, the second impregnation process or the like is completed by maintaining the predetermined time. Next, in the same manner as in the case of the first treatment liquid L, the other collection tank 20 is accommodated in the centrifugal dewatering machine M, and thereafter, the same dewatering treatment as described above is performed. The second processing liquid collected in the liquid storage part 21 is collected.

The above-described series of processing is sequentially performed for each processing solution.

As described above, in the above embodiment, the processing liquid centrifugally separated from the inner tank A can be collected in the gap between the inner tank A and the outer tank Z of the centrifugal dewatering machine M. Since the collecting tank 20 is detachably installed and the collecting tanks 20 are prepared by the number of types of the processing liquid, even if there are two or more types of the processing liquid,
Each processing solution can be separated and collected without being mixed with each other. In this case, two or more kinds of processing liquids can be separated and collected by one centrifugal dewatering machine, which is economical. In addition, even if the type of the processing liquid is changed, it is not necessary to wash the inside of the centrifugal dewatering machine to remove the adhering liquid, so that the workability and the productivity are excellent.

In the conventional impregnation treatment or the like, a immersion process in which a treatment liquid is contained in a state in which the member P to be treated is loaded in a basket-like inner tank made of a nest plate (porous plate material), a wire mesh or the like is loaded. It was done by putting it in a tank. Thereafter, the member P and the inner tank of the basket were conveyed to a centrifugal dewatering machine for the purpose of dewatering. And, at the time of the transportation,
The treatment liquid often dripped. Such dripping of the processing liquid not only causes a loss of the processing liquid, but also deteriorates the working environment. Furthermore, when a harmful processing solution is used, safety also becomes a problem.

On the other hand, in the above embodiment, the member P to be treated is impregnated or immersed in the inner tank A, and then the member P to be treated and the processing liquid are put into the inner tank A. The liquid is dewatered using the centrifugal dewatering machine M as it is. For this reason, dripping of the processing liquid after the conventional impregnation processing or the like can be eliminated, and problems such as loss of the processing liquid, deterioration of the working environment, and danger can be solved.

Further, since each processing solution is collected and reused, it is possible to prevent any loss of the processing solution, which is economical.

Therefore, when the inner tank C is rotated, the processing liquid is centrifugally separated by the centrifugal force in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, and the processing target member P descends. Therefore, separation of the processing liquid and the processing target member P is effectively performed.

In the above embodiment, the collection tank 20 was taken out of the centrifugal dewatering machine M after the inner tanks A, B, and C were taken out. The size is set to an appropriate size, and the inner tanks A, B, and C are
