Description
【０００１】 本発明は蛍光灯をリン混合物の観点から分別する方法及び装置に関する。The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for separating fluorescent lamps from the viewpoint of a phosphorus mixture.

燐光体の回収が極めて難しいものになっている。When recycling fluorescent lamps, it is important to recover the phosphor. However, many manufacturers of fluorescent lamps use various additives in the base phosphor, making recovery of the base phosphor extremely difficult.

の分別方法及び装置を創出することにある。To circumvent these difficulties, the present inventor has developed the idea that many manufacturers wish to recover phosphorous mixtures that appear in various types of fluorescent lamps instead of such phosphors. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to create a method and an apparatus for separating fluorescent lamps that can be separated for phosphorus mixtures.

そのリン混合物に関して分別することを可能にする。[0005] Specifically, the fluorescent light to be sorted is sent to the examination site and is located at a predetermined distance from at least one camera. Each of the fluorescent lamps is rotated to read a seal portion near the leg of the fluorescent lamp, and sends it to the image processing apparatus. The imprint generally includes a company logo along with a model number consisting of letters and numbers. Since the image processing apparatus includes a memory for recording data of such company logos and model numbers, the individually inspected fluorescent tubes can be sorted by the fluorescent lamp manufacturer and model by the control means. This allows the fluorescent lamp to be sorted out with respect to its phosphorus mixture.

°回転させ、当の端部がカメラを通過するようにすることができる。[0006] In the case of fluorescent lamps, the imprint is always located only at one end, which is in a region approximately 80 mm wide from the end of the fluorescent lamp body. When a used fluorescent lamp is carried in, the arrangement of the end with and without the seal is random. To address this problem, a double passage through the sensing device is provided, and the previously undetected fluorescent lamp is placed 180 ° in front of the second passage.
° can be rotated so that its end passes through the camera.

The corners are spaced apart from each other and their connecting lines show prisms that are aligned together. The supporting corners are located at a sufficient distance from the end of the fluorescent lamp so as not to disturb the detection of the image by the camera. One of the support corners has a movable configuration, and the three
It can accommodate a specified length range from 50 to 1800 mm. The details of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

うに選択される。The fluorescent lamps 1 are conveyed one by one by a bucket conveyor 2 to a suction conveying passage 3 having an inclined passage. The fluorescent tube 1 arrives at the examination site 10 in a state of being horizontally aligned by the guide upper surface 4. The inspection part 10 is provided with stoppers 11 and 12 which are designed as stop corners in the present case. The stops 11 and 12 define a prism in relation to each other and hold the main body of the fluorescent tube 1 at a specified distance from the right camera 21 or the left camera 22. The prism defined by the corner stops 11 and 12 includes two mutually orthogonal planes, which can be used as inspection planes assigned to the cameras 21 or 22, respectively. In the illustrated illustrative embodiment, a stop surface 13 at an acute angle to the rolling surface 3 is used as the inspection surface. Therefore, the inspection direction of the cameras 21 and 22 is
And the distance of the camera is chosen such that the surface 13 is sharply projected on the camera.

The friction roll driving device 17 or 18 is allocated to the roll 15 or 16, respectively, and the respective roll 15 or 16 is driven to rotate the fluorescent lamp body 1 located at the inspection site.

The displacement of the bevel 12 and the roll 16 can be performed by means of a mandrel and a guide, but is not shown for clarity.

Mandrels and guides can be used for this purpose, but other displacement means can be used as well. Due to the displacement between the stop angle portion 12 and the camera 22, the apparatus can adapt to the changing length of the fluorescent lamp body 1. When the present apparatus is applied to the maximum length of the fluorescent lamp main body 1 of 1800 mm, the stop corner 11 is arranged at a distance of about 150 mm from the end of the fluorescent lamp main body 1. The movable stop corner 12 is movable to a distance of 150 mm from the end of the fluorescent lamp body 1. When the short fluorescent lamp goes up for inspection, move the movable stop corner to the right of the drawing to make a space of about 150 mm at the end of the fluorescent lamp main body. The camera 21 is placed stationary and aligned with the end area of the 80 mm wide fluorescent lamp body 1 where the manufacturer's mark or model number imprint is expected. The movable camera 22 is oriented at the corresponding end of the fluorescent lamp body 1, in particular in a region also having a width of 80 mm.

Can extract the digital image information coming from the camera as a pixel signal and compare it with the stored image information. This stored image information is associated with a possible imprint on the end of the fluorescent lamp body, in particular with respect to the manufacturer and model of the fluorescent lamp. In general, a combination of a company mark or logo and letters / numbers is imprinted, the size of the imprint depending on the type of fluorescent light. The fluorescent lamp body 1 rotates during the inspection,
When the seal passes through the field of view of the camera 21, the company logo and the model number are read in the forward direction. Conversely, if the seal is on the left side of the fluorescent lamp body, the camera 2
2 reads the seal imprint from the opposite direction. This is determined during processing by the image processing apparatus. If the image processing device comprises a monitor 31 for monitoring, said monitor ensures that the imprint appears in the correct reading direction for humans.

蛍光管はそのフラップの下に置かれた容器に落ち込む。A switching controller 32 is connected to the image processing device 30, and the controller 32 ensures that the individually inspected fluorescent lamps are correctly sorted. This takes place in the outlet transport passage 24, which can be designed as an inclined passage with 25 rows of flaps. By reversing the rolls 15 and 16, the fluorescent lamp bodies individually placed at the inspection site 10 are lifted above the height of the corners 11 and 12, and
And roll down on it. Each flap 25 includes a flap drive individually connected to the switching controller 32. The switching controller 32 also has as many data as the number of phosphorus mixtures and additional data for unidentified phosphorus mixtures. The flap 25 is specified in the individual data of the switching controller 32, and is specified when the type of the fluorescent tube to which the specific phosphorus mixture is distributed is detected by the type of the fluorescent lamp manufacturer or by the type of the fluorescent lamp or by the type of the fluorescent lamp. The flap 25 is opened and the fluorescent tube rotating downwards falls into a container placed under the flap.

The sensitivity of detecting “marking a mark”, which is recognized both as a company logo and as a model number, is extremely high. Fluorescent lamps whose classification is not clearly detectable are treated in a conventional manner. By this method, the phosphorus mixture recovered from the fluorescent tube is recovered with extremely high quality since it is not damaged by the admixture. The phosphorus mixture is removed from the fluorescent tube in the usual way by opening the fluorescent tube and blowing off the coating with compressed air.
