The roller 25 side is an electric component feeding point P1, and the downstream roller 27 side is a discharging point P2. The base 20 is made of metal, for example, and supports the upper side 29 of the belt 23 from below. Moreover, the base 20 is also a portion that receives the vibrations of the first vibrating roller 41 and the second vibrating roller 42 of the crushing processing unit 15, which will be described later.

Next, the crushing processing section 15 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The crushing processing unit 15 includes the belt 23 of the transport unit 13.
This is a part for crushing the high-frequency transformer 200 by applying vibration while crushing the high-frequency transformer 200, which is conveyed by. The crushing processing unit 15 includes the left and right brackets 50, 51, the vibration generating unit 52, and the vibrating roller unit 5.

Next, the support 5 of the crushing processing section 15 of FIG.
6 will be described. The support 56 is configured to have a substantially U-shaped cross section by the horizontal plate 73 and the two vertical plates 75 and 77 described above. The vertical plates 75 and 77 are located inside the brackets 50 and 51. The arrangement direction of the vertical plates 75 and 77 is parallel to the conveyance direction T of the belt 23. The first vibrating roller 41 and the second vibrating roller 42 of the vibrating roller portion 54 are rotatably supported by the pins 79 and 81 between the vertical plates 75 and 77. A pulley 90 is attached to the pin 79 of the first vibrating roller 41. A V-shaped belt 94, for example, hangs between the pulley 90 and the pulley 93 of another motor 91. Further, for example, a V-shaped belt 98 is also provided between the pulley 96 provided on the output shaft 81 of the second vibrating roller 42 and the pulley 93 of the motor 91.
Is hung. As a result, when the motor 91 operates, the first vibrating roller 41 rotates, for example, in the R direction, and the second vibrating roller 42 also rotates, for example, in the R1 direction.

As shown in FIG. 6, the diameter of the first vibrating roller 41 is set smaller than the diameter of the second vibrating roller 42. That is, the diameter of the second vibrating roller 42 is larger, and is set larger than the distance D2 between the second vibrating roller 42 and the belt 23 as compared with the distance D1 between the first vibrating roller 41 and the belt 23 shown in FIG. .

Is made of, for example, a strong metal, for example iron. These first vibrating roller 41 and second vibrating roller 4
2 is continuously rotated by the operation of the motor 91, and vertical vibration is applied in the Z direction by the operation of the vibration motor 61. Thereby, for example, the high frequency transformer 200 conveyed by the belt 23 is given vibration while being crushed.

Next, the separating section 17 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The separation unit 17 includes a screen 110 and
It has a first bucket 111 and a second bucket 112. The first bucket 111 accommodates the magnetic substance that separates and falls on the screen 110. The second bucket 112 accommodates the winding that has passed over the screen 110. In this way, the first bucket 111 and the second bucket 111
If the bucket 112 is used to house the magnetic substance separated by the screen 110 and the winding separated by the screen 110, respectively, they can be separately conveyed and reused in the subsequent steps.

The screen 110 shown in FIG. 1 can be, for example, one having a mesh shape and is arranged at a position corresponding to the discharge point P2 of the belt 23. The screen 110 is, for example, preferably inclined at an angle θ, so that the screen 110 can guide the winding to the second bucket 112 while dropping the magnetic material to the first bucket 111. The screen 110 is located almost above the first bucket 111. The motor 61, the motor 27, and the motor 91 operate according to a command from the control unit 100.

Next, a separation method for separating electric parts by using the above-described electric part separation device 10 will be described.
An example in which a high frequency transformer 200 is separated and disassembled as an example of an electric component as shown in FIG. 1 will be described. However, the same separation work can be performed with the high-frequency coil 300 shown in FIG. 3 and the deflection coil 400 shown in FIG. Control unit 100
In the crushing step ST1 of FIG.
7, the motor 91 and the motor 61 are operated. When the motor 27 operates, the belt 23 rotates endlessly in the transport direction T.

The worker or the robot sequentially puts the high frequency transformer 200 at the feeding point P1 of the belt 23. As shown in FIG. 6, the high-frequency transformer 200 is conveyed along the conveyance direction T by the belt 23, and is first crushed by the first vibrating roller 41 for coarse crushing while being vibrated to be roughly crushed. Then, the coarsely crushed high frequency transformer 200 is vibrated while being crushed by the second vibrating roller 42 shown in FIG. 6 to be finely crushed. As a result, the high frequency transformer 200 is finely crushed into the magnetic substance 201 (for example, ferrite) and the winding wire 203 such as a copper wire as shown in FIG.

Next, in the separation step ST2 of FIG.
The magnetic body 201 and the winding wire 203 thus finely crushed
However, when it reaches the discharge point P2 shown in FIG. The screen 110 drops only the fine ferrite 201 into the first bucket 111, and the winding 203 having a size larger than that of the magnetic body 201 is put into the second bucket 112 while sliding on the screen 110. It In this way, the magnetic body 201 is collected in the first bucket 111 and the winding 203 is collected in the second bucket 112.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The vibrating roller portion 54 shown in FIG. 1 has a first vibrating roller 41 for coarse crushing and a second vibrating roller 42 for fine crushing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the vibrating roller portion 54 may of course be one vibrating roller or three or more vibrating rollers. Further, instead of the vibrating roller section 54 of the crushing processing section 15, a flat plate-shaped member may be used in order to squeeze the electric component and give vibration. Instead of the belt 23 of the transport unit 13, instead of the belt that moves in the transport direction T, the electrical component may be transported in the transport direction T by applying vibration. It is also possible to adopt a chute type in which the base 20 is inclined so as to descend from the upstream side to the downstream side without using the belt 23, and the electric parts may be gradually dropped along the chute.

The use of the electrical component separating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages. That is, since the winding wire 203, which is a copper wire, is in a crushed state without being cut, the winding wire does not become fine, and the winding wire can be easily recovered almost 100%. In addition, the winding and the magnetic body can be reliably separated. Less dust and less noise when crushing electrical parts. The device for separating electric parts can be manufactured at low cost because of its relatively simple structure.

Since the crushing processing section 15 vibrates in the Z direction (up and down direction) while rotating the roller of the vibrating roller section 54 and applies vibration while crushing the electric parts, only a magnetic material such as ferrite is used. Crushed, the copper wire remains crushed without being cut. By applying vibration, the crushed magnetic body and the winding can be easily separated.

As an electric component which can be treated by the electric component separating apparatus of the present invention, a high frequency transformer, a high frequency coil, an electric component in which a winding such as a copper wire is wound on a magnetic material such as ferrite, Not only the deflection coil but also other types can be used for the separation process.

[0037]

As described above, according to the present invention,
An electrical component such as a high frequency transformer can be reliably and completely separated into a magnetic body and a winding wound around the magnetic body.
