Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of removing a vehicle-mounted component and a wire harness when a used automobile is disassembled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A used automobile is dismantled by the following steps. Gasoline removal Tire removal Liquid removal Removal of used parts Removal of expensive materials Crushing Crushing using shredder Metal sorting

[0003] That is, a used automobile is removed from liquids and harmful substances, and after removing reusable parts, is subjected to a shredder machine, and is separated into iron, non-ferrous metal, and shredder dust. In recent years, starting from environmental issues,
The shout of shredder dust is called for, and the recovery of high-quality scrap iron is required to facilitate the effective use of resources. In order to reduce shredder dust, try to reuse as much of the reusable material as possible.
It is necessary to ensure that separation is carried out so that reusable materials are not mixed into the shredder dust as much as possible. For this purpose, it is preferable that the in-vehicle parts and the wire harness using the non-ferrous material are separated and removed as much as possible before the crushing step.

[0004] The ease of separating work into ferrous, non-ferrous metal, and shredder dust after being mounted on a shredder machine varies greatly depending on the degree of prior removal of vehicle-mounted parts and wire harnesses using non-ferrous materials. If the object is crushed and placed on a shredder machine while the pre-removal of the parts using the non-ferrous material is insufficient, the subsequent sorting work is difficult, and as a result, shredder dust often increases. Also, if the object is crushed and shredded with insufficient prior removal of the wire harness, even after metal sorting, the copper used as a conductor will not be separated and will not only be in the shredder dust, However, the proportion mixed in scrap iron also tends to increase. When the percentage of copper contained in scrap iron increases,
It will not be accepted for steel reproduction as high quality scrap iron.

Conversely, if the removal of the non-ferrous metal can be performed sufficiently reliably at the stage before the crushing, only the crushing
Since high-quality scrap iron can be obtained, it is possible to supply the crushed steel for steel regeneration by omitting the processes after crushing, that is, crushing using a shredder and metal sorting. Become.

[0006]

As described above, it is necessary to ensure that non-ferrous metals are removed sufficiently before crushing. However, before crushing, parts and wires containing non-ferrous metals are required. Even if it is attempted to remove the harness, the mounting status of the parts of the automobile and the mounting position vary widely depending on the vehicle type, and the mounting status of the wire harness also varies widely. It takes a lot of trouble to find these and remove them securely and safely. If the information necessary for removing the vehicle-mounted parts and the wire harness is obtained for the vehicle to be dismantled, the work of removing the vehicle-mounted parts and the wire harness becomes very easy.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and has as its object to easily and surely remove a vehicle-mounted component and a wire-harness.
