Description

本発明は、人工芝のパイルの隙間に充填される充填材(充填砂とも呼ばれる)の分別方法、分別回収方法、分別装置及び分別回収装置に係り、特に充填材が珪砂及びゴム等の弾性骨材の混合物である場合に珪砂と弾性骨材を分別して回収することのできる人工芝充填材の分別方法、分別回収方法、分別装置及び分別回収装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a separation method, a separation and recovery method, a separation device and a separation and recovery device for a filler (also referred to as filling sand) filled in a pile space of an artificial turf, and in particular, the filler is an elastic bone such as silica sand and rubber. The present invention relates to an artificial turf filler separation method, a separation collection method, a separation device, and a separation collection device that can separate and collect silica sand and elastic aggregate in the case of a mixture of materials.

人工芝は運動場等の施設の表層材料として広く利用されており、中でもパイルと呼ばれる葉茎の隙間に珪砂や川砂を充填したものはその感触が天然芝に近く優れた全天候舗装材として重用されてきた。近年では、この充填材に改良が加えられ、珪砂や川砂に加えて人造ゴム粒等の弾性骨材(ゴムチップとも呼ばれる)を混合したものが用いられるようになり、スポーツ施設を利用する者の足腰への負担が一層軽減されるようになってきている。   Artificial turf is widely used as a surface layer material for facilities such as athletic fields, and among them, the one that is filled with quartz sand or river sand in the gap between leaf stems called pile has been used as an all-weather pavement material that feels close to natural turf. It was. In recent years, improvements have been made to this filler, and in addition to quartz sand and river sand, a mixture of elastic aggregates (also called rubber chips) such as artificial rubber particles has been used, and it has been used by those who use sports facilities. The burden on the company has been further reduced.

この種の人工芝は、図10に示すように耐候性ポリプロピレン平織布からなる基布に長さが30mmを超える葉茎を植え込んだ人工芝マットをコンクリートなどの基礎上に敷き詰めた後、葉茎の隙間に厚さ20〜40mm程度に珪砂と弾性骨材との混合物を充填する、いわゆる置き引き工法により構築される。このように構築された人工芝は、相当の長期間、例えば7〜10年程度の耐用年数を有する。   As shown in FIG. 10, this type of artificial turf is constructed by placing an artificial turf mat in which a leaf stem having a length of more than 30 mm is planted on a foundation made of a weather-resistant polypropylene plain woven fabric on a foundation such as concrete, It is constructed by a so-called laying method in which the gap between the stems is filled with a mixture of silica sand and elastic aggregate to a thickness of about 20 to 40 mm. The artificial turf constructed in this way has a service life of a considerable long time, for example, about 7 to 10 years.

このように構築された人工芝は、相当の長期間、一般には7〜10年程度の耐用年数を有するが、上記耐用年数を経過し、葉茎が千切れるなど劣化すると張り替え工事が行われる。この張替え工事の際に発生する基布及び葉茎を含む人工芝マットは、充填材を分離すれば廃プラスチックとして、例えば燃料として利用することが考えられ、実際にもそのような試みがなされている。   Artificial turf constructed in this way has a service life of about 7 to 10 years for a considerably long period of time, but when the above-mentioned service life has passed and the leaf stem has been shredded and so on, re-installation work is performed. Artificial turf mats including base fabric and leaf stems generated during this re-covering work can be used as waste plastic, for example as fuel, if the filler is separated, and such attempts have actually been made. Yes.

充填材も、ゴム等の弾性骨材は、充填材として再利用可能である。一方、珪砂は長年の使用により粒度が小さくなっているときには、充填材としての再利用は困難であるが、建築資材、例えば、コンクリート骨材、建築現場の埋め戻し材等として利用可能である。しかしながら、充填材は珪砂とゴム等の弾性骨材との混合物であり、それらの分別が容易でないため、上記形態による再利用は進んでいないのが現状である。   An elastic aggregate such as rubber can be reused as the filler. On the other hand, silica sand is difficult to be reused as a filler when its particle size has been reduced by many years of use, but it can be used as a building material, for example, a concrete aggregate, a backfill material at a construction site, or the like. However, since the filler is a mixture of silica sand and elastic aggregate such as rubber, and the separation of them is not easy, the recycle according to the above form has not progressed.

これは、充填材が比重の異なる珪砂(比重:2〜2.5程度、粒度:0.1〜1.2mm程度)と弾性充填材(比重:1.1〜1.3程度、粒度:0.5〜5mm程)の混合物であり、風選等公知の分離手段では両者の分別(分離)が困難であるという問題があるほか、人工芝の張替え工事に当たってこれら充填材が葉茎から水洗によって洗い出された状態では水分を多く含み、弾性骨材に珪砂が付着しており、例えば篩い分けによっては、容易に両者を分別・分離できないという問題がある。 This silica sand filler are different in specific gravity (specific gravity: about 2 to 2.5, particle size: 0.1 to 1.2 mm approximately) with elastic filler (specific gravity: 1.1 to 1.3 mm, particle size: 0.5 to 5 mm extent) a mixture of In addition, there is a problem that separation (separation) of the two is difficult with known separation means such as wind selection, and when the artificial grass is replaced, these fillers contain a lot of moisture when washed from the stems by washing with water. Further, there is a problem that silica sand is attached to the elastic aggregate, and for example, the both cannot be easily separated and separated by sieving.

上記人工芝の充填材の回収に関し、例えば、特許文献1には、人工芝の充填材の回収に関し、回収された人工芝を水槽に漬けることが記載されている。一方、比重の異なる混合物の分別回収方法に関し、特許文献2には、ペットボトル再生処理方法として、比重差でボトル片と紙製ラベル片を水中に沈降させ、ポリエチレン製ラベル片とポリプロピレンラベル片を水面上に浮遊させて取り出し、水中に沈降したボトル片と紙製ラベルのうち紙製ラベルを水中に溶解させてボトル片のみ取り出すという選別手段が記載されている。   Regarding the recovery of the artificial turf filler, for example, Patent Document 1 describes that the recovered artificial turf is immersed in a water tank with respect to the recovery of the artificial turf filler. On the other hand, regarding the method for separating and collecting mixtures having different specific gravities, Patent Document 2 discloses, as a plastic bottle regeneration treatment method, a bottle piece and a paper label piece are allowed to settle in water due to a difference in specific gravity, and a polyethylene label piece and a polypropylene label piece are separated. A sorting means is described in which a paper label is dissolved in water out of a bottle piece and a paper label that are floated on the water surface and taken out of the water, and only the bottle piece is taken out.

しかしながら、特許文献1には、人工芝の充填材の回収に関する記載があるのみであって、回収された充填材の分別・分離方法については記載がない。また、特許文献2には、比重差による混合物の分別や化学的性質の相違を利用した混合物の分別について記載があるが、ともに水より比重の大きい混合物を物理的に分別・分離する手段については記載がない。そのため、人工芝充填材、特に、珪砂−弾性骨材からなる混合充填材の分別回収手段の実現が切望されている。   However, Patent Document 1 only describes the collection of the artificial turf filler, and does not describe a method for separating and separating the collected filler. In addition, Patent Document 2 describes the separation of a mixture based on the difference in specific gravity and the separation of the mixture using the difference in chemical properties. However, both methods for physically separating and separating a mixture having a specific gravity greater than that of water are disclosed. There is no description. Therefore, realization of a means for separating and collecting artificial turf filler, in particular, mixed filler made of silica sand-elastic aggregate is desired.

本発明は、上記従来公知の手段では、分別、さらに分別回収が困難であった人工芝充填材をその構成物である珪砂と弾性骨材に分けて効率的に分別・分離し、これらを分別して回収できる人工芝充填材の分別方法、分別装置及び分別離回収装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention efficiently separates and separates the artificial turf filler, which has been difficult to separate and recover by the above-mentioned conventionally known means, into its constituent silica sand and elastic aggregate. It is an object of the present invention to provide an artificial turf filler separation method, a separation device, and a separation / collection device that can be collected separately.

本発明は、水槽中に水没して設けた篩上に人工芝から回収した充填材を供給し、篩に適当な振動を与えるときには、比重の大きい珪砂が篩下に落下する一方、比重が水に近いゴムチップ等の弾性骨材は水中を流動して洗浄水とともに水槽外に排出可能であり、この現象を利用することにより両者を分別できることを見出して本発明を完成した。   In the present invention, when the filler recovered from the artificial turf is supplied onto a sieve submerged in a water tank and appropriate vibration is applied to the sieve, silica sand having a large specific gravity falls under the sieve, while the specific gravity is water. It was found that an elastic aggregate such as a rubber chip or the like can flow in water and be discharged out of the water tank together with washing water, and by using this phenomenon, the present invention was completed.

本発明の人工芝充填材の分別方法は、人工芝から回収した珪砂と弾性骨材とからなる充填材を水槽内に浸漬した傾斜・振動篩の上端部から供給して珪砂分を傾斜篩の篩下分として前記水槽底部に沈降させるとともに、前記弾性骨材分を洗浄水とともに流下させて弾性骨材回収槽中に導いて沈降させるものである。   In the method for separating artificial turf filler of the present invention, the filler consisting of silica sand and elastic aggregate collected from artificial turf is supplied from the upper end of an inclined / vibrating sieve immersed in a water tank, and the silica sand content is supplied to the inclined sieve. While being allowed to settle to the bottom of the water tank as a sieving part, the elastic aggregate part is caused to flow down together with the washing water and guided into the elastic aggregate recovery tank to be settled.

上記の人工芝充填材の分別方法において、傾斜・振動篩上に残留した粗粒珪砂を該傾斜・振動篩に設けた落下口から水槽底部に導くようにすることが好ましい。   In the above-described method for separating artificial turf filler, it is preferable that the coarse silica sand remaining on the inclined / vibrating sieve is guided to the bottom of the water tank from the dropping port provided on the inclined / vibrating sieve.

本発明による人工芝充填材から珪砂と弾性骨材を分別回収方法は、回収人工芝を洗浄水によって洗浄して人工芝充填材を洗浄水とともに回収する段階と、前記記載の人工芝充填材の分別方法によって人工芝充填材を珪砂と弾性骨材に分別する段階と、前記段階によって分別された珪砂及び弾性骨材を脱水して珪砂及び弾性骨材を回収する段階とからなる一連の工程により構成されている。   The method for separating and recovering silica sand and elastic aggregate from the artificial turf filler according to the present invention includes a step of washing the collected artificial turf with washing water and collecting the artificial turf filler together with the washing water; According to a series of steps consisting of a step of separating the artificial turf filler into silica sand and elastic aggregate by a separation method, and a step of dewatering the silica sand and elastic aggregate separated by the step and recovering the silica sand and elastic aggregate. It is configured.

前記人工芝充填材の分別方法を実施するに当たっては、上部に洗浄水とともに人工芝充填材を供給する充填材供給部を、下端に珪砂貯留部を、1側面に洗浄水とともに弾性骨材を排出する弾性骨材吐出口を有する水槽本体及び該本体に接続され前記弾性骨材吐出口から排出される弾性骨材を洗浄水とともに受け入れて弾性骨材を底部に沈降させる弾性骨材沈降槽とからなる水槽と、下端部が前記弾性骨材吐出口を超えて沈降槽内に臨むように位置し、上端部が弾性骨材吐出口の上縁部より上部に位置するように、前記水槽の対向する二面間に傾斜して延在し、かつ、上端部を除いて前記水槽本体内に水没している傾斜・振動篩を備えた人工芝充填材分別装置を用いることができ、洗浄水を人工芝充填材とともに前記傾斜・振動篩の上端部近傍から供給することによって人工芝充填材の珪砂分を水槽本体の珪砂貯留部に沈降させる人工芝充填材分別装置を用いることができる。   In carrying out the method for separating the artificial turf filler, the filler supply part for supplying the artificial turf filler together with the cleaning water is discharged at the upper part, the silica sand storage part at the lower end, and the elastic aggregate together with the cleaning water at one side. A water tank main body having an elastic aggregate discharge port to be discharged, and an elastic aggregate settling tank for receiving the elastic aggregate connected to the main body and discharged from the elastic aggregate discharge port together with the washing water and sinking the elastic aggregate to the bottom The water tank and the opposite of the water tank so that the lower end is positioned so as to face the sedimentation tank beyond the elastic aggregate outlet, and the upper end is located above the upper edge of the elastic aggregate outlet. An artificial turf filling material separation device having an inclined / vibrating sieve that is inclined and extended between the two surfaces and is submerged in the water tank main body except for the upper end portion can be used. Near the upper end of the inclined / vibrating sieve with artificial turf filler Silica sand content of synthetic grass filler can be used artificial grass filler fractionator to precipitate the silica sand reservoir of the tank body by al supply.

上記装置において、傾斜・振動篩は、人工芝充填材の構成分中、弾性骨材分を通過させず、珪砂分を通過させるに足る篩目を有しているものとするのが好ましい。   In the above apparatus, it is preferable that the inclined / vibrating sieve has a mesh sufficient to pass the silica sand component without passing the elastic aggregate component in the component of the artificial turf filler.

また、傾斜・振動篩は、その末端部に粗粒珪砂落下部を具備したものとするのが好ましく、さらに、傾斜・振動篩は、少なくとも水面下に延在する範囲に亘ってその上面を弾性骨材分逸出防止網で覆ったものとするのがよい。   Further, the inclined / vibrating sieve is preferably provided with a coarse silica sand falling part at the end thereof, and the inclined / vibrating sieve is elasticated at least on the upper surface over a range extending below the water surface. It should be covered with an aggregate escape prevention net.

上記に記載の人工芝充填材分別装置に珪砂回収装置及び弾性骨材水切り回収装置を付設することによって人工芝充填材分別回収装置とすることができるが、その際、珪砂回収装置を人工芝充填材分別装置の珪砂貯留部の下端部から斜め上方に延在し、上端が水槽の水位より上側に位置する密閉型スクリューコンベヤと、該スクリューコンベヤの上端に設置された珪砂排出部を備えるものとなし、弾性骨材水切り回収装置を弾性骨材水切り部と該弾性骨材水切り部から排出される洗浄水ろ過再生部を備えるものとなすのがよい。さらに、上記人工芝充填材分別回収装置の前段に回収人工芝洗浄槽を設けるとともに、回収弾性水切り回収装置の洗浄水ろ過再生部から人工芝充填材洗浄槽に至る洗浄水帰還配管を設けることもでできる。   The artificial turf filler separating device can be used by attaching a silica sand collecting device and an elastic aggregate draining and collecting device to the artificial turf filler separating device described above. A slanted screw conveyor that extends obliquely upward from the lower end of the silica sand storage part of the material sorting device and whose upper end is located above the water level of the aquarium, and a silica sand discharge part installed at the upper end of the screw conveyor; None, it is preferable that the elastic aggregate draining and collecting device includes an elastic aggregate draining unit and a washing water filtration and regeneration unit discharged from the elastic aggregate draining unit. Furthermore, a recovery artificial turf cleaning tank is provided in front of the artificial turf filling material separation and recovery device, and a cleaning water return pipe from the cleaning water filtration and regeneration unit of the recovered elastic draining recovery device to the artificial turf filling material cleaning tank may be provided. You can do it.

本発明により、人工芝充填材をその構成物である珪砂と弾性骨材に分けて効率的に分離し、これらを分別回収できるようになる。特に、本発明により回収された珪砂及び弾性骨材は水中で分離されるため、相互付着がほとんどなく純度が高いという特徴がある。それにより、ゴムチップ等の弾性骨材のリサイクル及び回収珪砂のリサイクル及びコンクリート骨材等への利用が可能になる。また、洗浄水の再利用(リサイクル)を図ることができ、周囲環境の汚染を極めて少なくすることができる。   According to the present invention, the artificial turf filler can be efficiently separated by separating it into silica sand and elastic aggregates, which can be separated and recovered. In particular, since the silica sand and elastic aggregate recovered by the present invention are separated in water, there is a feature that there is almost no mutual adhesion and high purity. Thereby, recycling of elastic aggregates such as rubber chips, recycling of recovered silica sand, and utilization to concrete aggregates and the like become possible. Moreover, reuse (recycling) of washing water can be achieved, and contamination of the surrounding environment can be extremely reduced.

図1は、本発明に係る人工芝充填材分別回収装置の全体構成図である。ここに示すように、本発明に係る人工芝充填材分離回収装置は、概略、人工芝洗浄槽10、人工芝充填材分別装置20、弾性骨材水切り回収装置70により構成される。後に、詳細に説明するように、人工芝充填材分離回収装置20は、水槽本体23を含む珪砂−弾性骨材分離部28と珪砂回収装置50及び弾性骨材沈降装置60から成り立っている。   FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an artificial turf filler sorting and collecting apparatus according to the present invention. As shown here, the artificial turf filler separation and recovery apparatus according to the present invention is roughly constituted by an artificial turf cleaning tank 10, an artificial turf filler separation apparatus 20, and an elastic aggregate draining and recovery apparatus 70. As will be described in detail later, the artificial turf filler separation / recovery device 20 includes a silica sand-elastic aggregate separation unit 28 including a water tank body 23, a silica sand recovery device 50, and an elastic aggregate settling device 60.

人工芝洗浄槽10は、図1に示すように、架台11に水洗槽12が載荷されて構成されている。図2に示すように、水洗槽12はホッパー状をなしており、上部の開口部から裁断された人工芝18(回収されたもの)が投入され、洗浄水供給管16及び洗浄水還流管17によって上部から洗浄水を供給し、例えば撹拌器具19を用いて充填材Fを洗浄水中に落し出すことができるようになっている。また、その底部は回収充填材貯留部13となっており、ここに落し出された充填材Fが堆積するようになっている。この回収充填材貯留部13には、サンドポンプ14が設けられており、充填材送給管15により堆積した充填材Fを洗浄水とともに人工芝充填材分別装置20に送給できるようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the artificial turf cleaning tank 10 is configured by loading a rinsing tank 12 on a gantry 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the washing tank 12 has a hopper shape, and artificial turf 18 (collected) cut from the opening at the top is introduced, and a washing water supply pipe 16 and a washing water reflux pipe 17 are provided. Thus, the cleaning water is supplied from above, and the filler F can be dropped into the cleaning water using, for example, the agitating device 19. In addition, the bottom part is a collected filler storage part 13, where the filler F dropped out is deposited. The recovered filler storage unit 13 is provided with a sand pump 14 so that the filler F accumulated by the filler supply pipe 15 can be supplied to the artificial turf filler separation device 20 together with the cleaning water. Yes.

人工芝充填材分別装置20も架台21に水槽22(水槽本体23及び弾性骨材沈降装置60の弾性骨材沈降槽61(単に「沈降槽61」というを含む)を載荷して構成されている。図3及び図4から分かるように、水槽本体23の中に傾斜・振動篩30がその大半を洗浄水中に没するように取付けられている。水槽本体23は、上部に充填材送給管15から人工芝充填材Fを洗浄水とともに供給する充填材供給部24が設けられており、下部は珪砂貯留部25となっている。その1側面に弾性骨材を洗浄水とともに排出する弾性骨材吐出口26が開口しており、この弾性骨材吐出口26は弾性骨材沈降装置60の沈降槽61への接続口となっている。   Artificial turf filling material separation device 20 is also configured by loading water tank 22 (water tank body 23 and elastic aggregate sedimentation tank 61 of elastic aggregate sedimentation device 60 (including simply “sedimentation tank 61”) on frame 21. 3 and 4, an inclined / vibrating sieve 30 is mounted in the water tank body 23 so that most of it is submerged in the washing water, and the water tank body 23 has a filler feed pipe at the top. 15 is provided with a filler supply unit 24 for supplying artificial turf filler F together with cleaning water, and a lower part is a silica sand storage unit 25. One side of the elastic bone discharges elastic aggregate together with cleaning water. The material discharge port 26 is opened, and the elastic aggregate discharge port 26 is a connection port to the settling tank 61 of the elastic aggregate settling device 60.

弾性骨材沈降装置60は、図4、5に示すように、前記吐出口26から垂下した奥行き小さい有底の沈降槽61とその底部に設置された弾性骨材送給用のサンドポンプ63により構成され、その上部に位置するダクト64を通して弾性骨材回収管65により弾性骨材沈降部62から分離された弾性骨材を洗浄水ともに排出して弾性骨材水切り回収装置70の水切り槽71に送給できるようになっている。したがって、水槽本体23を洗浄水で満たしていくと弾性骨材沈降装置60の沈降槽61内に洗浄水が流れこみ、サンドポンプ63の作動に応じて沈降槽61から弾性骨材水切り槽71への水流が形成されることになる。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the elastic aggregate settling device 60 includes a bottomed settling tank 61 with a small depth suspended from the discharge port 26 and an elastic aggregate feeding sand pump 63 installed at the bottom. The elastic aggregate separated from the elastic aggregate settling part 62 by the elastic aggregate recovery pipe 65 is discharged through the duct 64 located at the upper part together with the washing water to the draining tank 71 of the elastic aggregate draining recovery device 70. It can be sent now. Therefore, when the water tank body 23 is filled with the cleaning water, the cleaning water flows into the settling tank 61 of the elastic aggregate settling device 60, and from the settling tank 61 to the elastic aggregate draining tank 71 according to the operation of the sand pump 63. The water stream will be formed.

上記弾性骨材沈降装置60の主要部をなす沈降槽61の形状、取付け方法は、上記目的を達成できる限り、特に制限されるものではない。たとえば、その形状を幅がほぼ水槽本体と同じの薄い長方形とすることもできる。また、その取付けに当たって水槽本体23の弾性骨材吐出口26から短い接続導管(水路)を引出して水槽本体23から弾性骨材沈降装置60(沈降槽61)への水流を確保するようにすることもできる。しかしながら、図4、図5に示すように、水槽本体23の開口部である弾性骨材吐出口26からその取付け幅をほぼ傾斜・振動篩30の幅と同一にして下方に垂下させたものとなし、かつ、その側面の一方から幅方向に絞込み、その最下部に弾性骨材沈降部62を形成し、ここにサンドポンプ63を配設できるようにするのがよい。これにより、沈降槽61の底部の極めて狭い場所、弾性骨材沈降部62に弾性骨材を集めることができ、サンドポンプ63による弾性骨材の排出を確実に行えるようになる。なお、本例では、沈降槽61の上部にダクト64を取付け、ここから弾性骨材回収管65を引出すようにしているが、これについても制限されるものではなく、例えば弾性骨材回収管65を水槽本体23から直接側方から引出すようにしてもよい。   The shape and attachment method of the sedimentation tank 61 that forms the main part of the elastic aggregate sedimentation device 60 are not particularly limited as long as the above object can be achieved. For example, the shape may be a thin rectangle whose width is substantially the same as the aquarium body. In addition, a short connecting conduit (water channel) is drawn from the elastic aggregate discharge port 26 of the water tank body 23 to secure the water flow from the water tank body 23 to the elastic aggregate settling device 60 (sedimentation tank 61). You can also. However, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the mounting width of the elastic aggregate outlet 26, which is the opening of the water tank body 23, is lowered downward with the same width as that of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30. None, and narrowing down from one of the side surfaces in the width direction, an elastic aggregate settling portion 62 is formed at the lowermost portion, and the sand pump 63 can be disposed here. As a result, the elastic aggregate can be collected in the elastic aggregate settling portion 62 at a very narrow place at the bottom of the settling tank 61, and the elastic aggregate can be reliably discharged by the sand pump 63. In this example, the duct 64 is attached to the upper part of the settling tank 61, and the elastic aggregate recovery pipe 65 is pulled out from here, but this is not limited, for example, the elastic aggregate recovery pipe 65 May be drawn from the water tank body 23 directly from the side.

傾斜・振動篩30は、図3、図4に示すように、その下端部が弾性骨材吐出口26から前記沈降槽61に僅かに入り込んでその内部に臨むように、また、上端部が弾性骨材吐出口26の上縁部より上部に位置するように水槽本体23の対向する二面間に傾斜して延在するように取付けられる。その傾斜角は、後述する篩本体42上を充填材が適当な速度で水流ととともに落下・移動できる程度に設定される。具体的には、10〜40°程度とするのがよい。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 has a lower end portion that slightly enters the sedimentation tank 61 from the elastic aggregate outlet 26 and faces the inside thereof, and an upper end portion that is elastic. It is attached so as to be inclined and extended between two opposing surfaces of the water tank body 23 so as to be located above the upper edge of the aggregate discharge port 26. The inclination angle is set to such an extent that the filler can drop and move together with the water flow at an appropriate speed on the sieve body 42 described later. Specifically, the angle is preferably about 10 to 40 °.

傾斜・振動篩30は、篩本体42とそれを支えるばね32、架台31及び篩本体42に対して所期の振動を与える振動モータ37によって構成されている。   The inclined / vibrating sieve 30 includes a sieve body 42, a spring 32 that supports the sieve body 42, a pedestal 31, and a vibration motor 37 that applies desired vibration to the sieve body 42.

篩本体42は、図7(図4のC−C断面)に示すように、人工芝充填材の弾性骨材分を通過させず、珪砂分を通過させるに足る篩目を有している金網部33とその周囲を取巻くフレーム34で構成され、本例では、これにその上面を覆うように弾性骨材分逸出防止網39を取付けたものとなっている。架台31は傾斜・振動篩に所定の取付け角度、取付け位置が付与できるように、水槽本体23の相対する2面間に固定して取付けられる。この架台31上にばね32を介して傾斜・振動篩が設置される。具体的には、図7に示すように、傾斜・振動篩の篩本体42のフレーム34にステー38を取付け、このステー38を介してばね32を取付け、このばね32を架台31に取付けることができる。あるいは、フレーム34に直接ばね32を介して取付けてもよい。   As shown in FIG. 7 (C-C cross section in FIG. 4), the sieve main body 42 has a mesh that has a sieve mesh that does not allow the elastic aggregate of the artificial turf filler to pass through and allows the silica sand to pass through. In this example, an elastic aggregate escape prevention net 39 is attached so as to cover the upper surface thereof. The gantry 31 is fixedly mounted between two opposing surfaces of the water tank body 23 so that a predetermined mounting angle and mounting position can be given to the inclined / vibrating sieve. An inclined / vibrating sieve is installed on the gantry 31 via a spring 32. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, a stay 38 is attached to a frame 34 of a screen body 42 of an inclined / vibrating sieve, a spring 32 is attached via the stay 38, and this spring 32 is attached to a gantry 31. it can. Alternatively, it may be attached directly to the frame 34 via the spring 32.

振動モータ37は図3に示すように、篩本体42の上面を覆う弾性骨材分逸出防止網39のフレーム34(これは篩本体42のフレーム34と一体に構成されている)に掛け渡した支持台36上に所定の傾斜角を与えて取付けられている。すなわち、図8に示すように、支持台36に所定の角度をもたせ、これに振動モータ37が取付けられている。これにより振動モータ37の駆動により生ずる振動力のうち、傾斜・振動篩30(篩本体42)に平行な成分(x)により弾性骨材を篩本体42の金網部33上を移動できるように、また、傾斜・振動篩30に垂直な成分(y)により篩本体42の上を流れる洗浄水に上下振動を与えて、その中を弾性骨材が浮遊するとともに珪砂分が篩下に落ちるようにしている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the vibration motor 37 spans the frame 34 of the elastic aggregate escape prevention net 39 covering the upper surface of the sieve body 42 (which is constructed integrally with the frame 34 of the sieve body 42). It is mounted on the support base 36 with a predetermined inclination angle. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the support base 36 is given a predetermined angle, and the vibration motor 37 is attached thereto. Thereby, among the vibration force generated by driving the vibration motor 37, the elastic aggregate can be moved on the wire mesh portion 33 of the sieve body 42 by the component (x) parallel to the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 (the sieve body 42). In addition, the component (y) perpendicular to the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 applies vertical vibrations to the washing water flowing on the sieve body 42 so that the elastic aggregate floats in it and the silica sand falls below the sieve. ing.

篩本体42の先端部は、図3に示すように、そのフレーム34が絞られて金属プレートからなる舌状部35となっている。本例では図6のE−E断面に示すように、弾性骨材分逸出防止網39のフレーム34と一体となって狭い開口部41をもった口唇状の弾性骨材排出口26となっており、この部分が図6に示すように沈降槽61の中にわずかに突き出している。なお、本例ではフレーム34が幅方向に絞られているが、絞り部での水流の停滞やそれによる充填材の流れの阻害が認められるとき、あるいはそのおそれがあるときには、絞り部を設けないようにするのがよい。   As shown in FIG. 3, the distal end portion of the sieve main body 42 is a tongue-like portion 35 made of a metal plate with the frame 34 being squeezed. In this example, as shown in the EE cross section of FIG. 6, a lip-shaped elastic aggregate outlet 26 having a narrow opening 41 integrated with the frame 34 of the elastic aggregate escape prevention net 39 is formed. This portion slightly protrudes into the settling tank 61 as shown in FIG. In this example, the frame 34 is squeezed in the width direction, but when the stagnation of the water flow at the squeezing part and the obstruction of the flow of the filler due to the stagnation are recognized or there is a possibility, the squeezing part is not provided. It is better to do so.

上記のように、水槽本体23、弾性骨材沈降装置60、傾斜・振動篩30を構成し、洗浄水を水槽本体23に洗浄水供給管16から供給し、傾斜・振動篩30の篩本体42が上部を残して水没するように水位27を調整し、しかる後、弾性骨材沈降装置60のサンドポンプ63を駆動しながら、洗浄水とともに充填材Fを傾斜・振動篩30の上端部から供給すると、充填材中の珪砂分は、その比重が洗浄水に比べて大きいので傾斜・振動篩30の篩本体42の篩下となって水槽本体23中を落下し、珪砂貯留部24に堆積する。一方、弾性骨材は、その比重が洗浄水と大差がないので、洗浄水の流れに沿って傾斜・振動篩30の篩本体42上を流れ、その舌状部35を経て弾性骨材吐出口26から弾性骨材沈降装置60の沈降槽61中に流入しその底部の弾性骨材沈降部62に堆積する。   As described above, the water tank main body 23, the elastic aggregate settling device 60, and the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 are configured, and cleaning water is supplied to the water tank main body 23 from the cleaning water supply pipe 16, and the sieve main body 42 of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 is provided. The water level 27 is adjusted so that the water is submerged leaving the upper part, and then the filler F is supplied from the upper end of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 together with the washing water while driving the sand pump 63 of the elastic aggregate settling device 60. Then, since the specific gravity of the silica sand in the filler is larger than that of the washing water, it falls under the sieve body 42 of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 and falls in the water tank body 23 and accumulates in the silica sand storage part 24. . On the other hand, since the specific gravity of the elastic aggregate is not much different from that of the washing water, the elastic aggregate flows along the flow of the washing water on the sieve main body 42 of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 and passes through the tongue 35 to the elastic aggregate discharge port. It flows into the sedimentation tank 61 of the elastic aggregate sedimentation device 60 from 26 and accumulates in the elastic aggregate sedimentation part 62 at the bottom.

このようにして上記の人工芝充填材分別装置20を利用することにより、人工芝充填材Fを珪砂と弾性骨材に分別することができ、珪砂は人工芝充填材分別装置20から、また弾性骨材は弾性骨材沈降装置60からそれぞれ回収することができる。   In this way, by using the artificial turf filler separation device 20 described above, the artificial turf filler F can be separated into silica sand and elastic aggregates. Aggregates can be collected from the elastic aggregate settling device 60, respectively.

珪砂の回収に当たっては、図4に示す珪砂回収装置50(スクリューコンベヤ)を利用するのが効率的である。本例の珪砂回収装置50は、人工芝充填材分別装置20の水槽本体23の底部、すなわち珪砂貯留部25の下端部から斜め上方に密閉筒体52を延在させ、その内部にスクリュー51を配し、上端に珪砂排出部53を設けている。この場合において、珪砂回収装置50(スクリューコンベヤ)の上端が水槽本体23の水位27を超えてその上側に位置するようにしてある。したがって、水槽本体23に充満した水は、珪砂回収装置50(スクリューコンベヤ)の密閉筒体52中を水槽本体23の水位27まで満たすが、珪砂排出部53は上記水位27の上方に位置しているので、図示しないモータ等の駆動源によりスクリュー51を駆動することにより、珪砂は、珪砂貯留部24から水面上にある珪砂排出部53まで運ばれ、洗浄水をほぼ切った状態、いわゆる湿乾状態で、例えば図示しないバケット中に、回収することができるようになる。   For the recovery of the silica sand, it is efficient to use the silica sand recovery device 50 (screw conveyor) shown in FIG. The silica sand collecting device 50 of this example extends a sealed cylinder 52 obliquely upward from the bottom of the water tank main body 23 of the artificial turf filler separating device 20, that is, the lower end of the silica sand reservoir 25, and a screw 51 is provided therein. The quartz sand discharge part 53 is provided at the upper end. In this case, the upper end of the silica sand collecting device 50 (screw conveyor) is positioned above the water level 27 of the water tank body 23 and above it. Therefore, the water filled in the water tank body 23 fills the sealed cylinder 52 of the silica sand recovery device 50 (screw conveyor) up to the water level 27 of the water tank body 23, but the silica sand discharge part 53 is located above the water level 27. Therefore, when the screw 51 is driven by a driving source such as a motor (not shown), the silica sand is carried from the silica sand reservoir 24 to the silica sand discharge part 53 on the water surface, and the washing water is almost cut off, so-called wet drying. In this state, for example, it can be collected in a bucket (not shown).

弾性骨材の回収に当たっては、図1に示す弾性骨材水切り回収装置70を利用するのがよい。この例では、弾性骨材沈降装置60の沈降槽61から弾性骨材送給用のサンドポンプ63により人工芝充填材分別装置20により分離された弾性骨材が弾性骨材回収管65を通して洗浄水とともに弾性骨材水切り回収装置70の水切り槽71に送給されるようになっている。弾性骨材水切り槽70は、上記水切り槽71と洗浄水再生回収槽72からなっている。この水切り槽71は下部に開口部73を有する筒体であって、その上部には蛇籠74が取付け・取外し自在に嵌め込まれている。一方、洗浄水再生回収槽72は下部に前記弾性骨材水切り槽71から排出される洗浄水の導入口75を有し、底部にフィルタ76が充填された筒体となっている。   In collecting the elastic aggregate, it is preferable to use an elastic aggregate draining and collecting device 70 shown in FIG. In this example, the elastic aggregate separated by the artificial turf filler separating device 20 from the sedimentation tank 61 of the elastic aggregate settling device 60 by the sand pump 63 for feeding elastic aggregate is washed through the elastic aggregate recovery pipe 65 and washed water. At the same time, it is fed to the draining tank 71 of the elastic aggregate draining and collecting device 70. The elastic aggregate draining tank 70 is composed of the draining tank 71 and the washing water regeneration and recovery tank 72. The draining tank 71 is a cylindrical body having an opening 73 in the lower part, and a gabion 74 is fitted in the upper part thereof so as to be freely attached and detached. On the other hand, the washing water regeneration / recovery tank 72 has an inlet 75 for the washing water discharged from the elastic aggregate draining tank 71 at the bottom, and has a cylindrical body filled with a filter 76 at the bottom.

したがって、沈降槽61の弾性骨材沈降部62からサンドポンプ63により、弾性骨材が弾性骨材回収管63を通して洗浄水とともに水切り槽71に送給されると、弾性骨材は蛇籠74中に水切りがなされて状態、いわゆる湿乾状態で回収され、そこから流出する洗浄水は、フィルタ76を通して洗浄水再生回収槽72に回収され、そこに設置されたポンプ77によりポンプアップされて洗浄水還流管17を経て人工芝洗浄槽10に戻され、洗浄水として再使用されることになる。このようにして、本発明では、人工芝の洗浄に使用した洗浄水は、充填材分離装置20、弾性骨材回収装置60の沈降槽61さらに水切り槽70を経て再び人工芝洗浄槽10に戻るようになっており、周囲環境を汚染することがない。また、系外に持ち出される水は、回収された珪砂及び弾性骨材の付着水だけであり、この水分も回収された人工芝に付着した水分とほぼ同量であるから、新たに補充する洗浄水の量は実質的に0かあるいは少なくてすむようになっている。   Therefore, when the elastic aggregate is sent from the elastic aggregate settling part 62 of the settling tank 61 to the draining tank 71 together with the washing water through the elastic aggregate recovery pipe 63 by the sand pump 63, the elastic aggregate is put into the gabion 74. Water that has been drained, recovered in a so-called wet and dry state, and the wash water that flows out of it is collected in a wash water regeneration and recovery tank 72 through a filter 76 and pumped up by a pump 77 installed there to return to the wash water It returns to the artificial turf washing tank 10 through the pipe 17 and is reused as washing water. Thus, in the present invention, the washing water used for washing the artificial turf returns to the artificial turf washing tank 10 again through the filler separating device 20, the settling tank 61 of the elastic aggregate collecting device 60, and the draining tank 70. It does not pollute the surrounding environment. Also, the only water taken out of the system is the collected silica sand and elastic aggregate adhering water, and this water is almost the same amount as the water adhering to the collected artificial turf. The amount of water is substantially zero or less.

上記のようにして、洗浄水中に傾斜・振動篩30を浸漬した状態で、その上端側から洗浄水−人工芝充填材を供給するときには、人工芝充填材Fは、洗浄水によって洗われて、珪砂分と弾性骨材分が完全に分離し、弾性骨材分及び珪砂を純度高く、しかもほぼ水切りした状態で回収することができる。また、本発明では、傾斜・振動篩30が洗浄水中に浸漬されているので、珪砂分が篩目を通過するときの摩擦抵抗が小さくなり、そのため、傾斜・振動篩の取り替え期間を十分に長くすることができる。   As described above, when supplying the cleaning water-artificial turf filler from the upper end side of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 immersed in the cleaning water, the artificial turf filler F is washed with the cleaning water, The silica sand and the elastic aggregate are completely separated, and the elastic aggregate and the silica sand can be recovered with high purity and almost drained. In the present invention, since the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 is immersed in the washing water, the frictional resistance when the silica sand component passes through the sieve mesh is reduced, and therefore the replacement period of the inclined / vibrating sieve is sufficiently long. can do.

上記の効果は、充填材を含んだ洗浄水が傾斜・振動篩30を通過することにより達成できるが、図3に示すように、傾斜・振動篩30の幅を水槽22の水流方向に直角方向の幅のほぼ1/2程度とする場合には、水槽本体23中を洗浄水が流下する際、洗浄水の一部が篩本体42上から側方に外れ、洗浄水の流れの中に浮遊・保持されている弾性骨材分が洗浄水とともに珪砂貯留部24側に流入し、珪砂分と弾性骨材分との分別回収が妨げられる。   The above effect can be achieved by the washing water containing the filler passing through the inclined / vibrating sieve 30, but the width of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 is perpendicular to the water flow direction of the water tank 22, as shown in FIG. When the wash water flows down in the water tank body 23, a part of the wash water comes off the side of the sieve body 42 and floats in the wash water flow. -The retained elastic aggregate component flows into the silica sand reservoir 24 side together with the washing water, and the separation and recovery of the silica sand component and the elastic aggregate component is hindered.

そのため、上記実施形態においては、傾斜・振動篩30の篩本体42の少なくとも水面下に延在する範囲に亘っては、その上面を弾性骨材分逸出防止網で覆ったものとしている。このようにすることにより、充填材を含んだ洗浄水は、弾性骨材分を通過させない目開きを持ったトンネル内を通過することになり、珪砂分を珪砂貯留部24に導いてそこに貯留させ、弾性骨材分を弾性骨材吐出口26から弾性骨材沈降装置60の沈降槽61に移行させることが確実にできるようになる。   Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, the upper surface of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 is covered with the elastic aggregate escape prevention net over at least the range extending below the water surface. By doing so, the washing water containing the filler passes through the tunnel having an opening that does not allow the elastic aggregate component to pass through, and the silica sand component is guided to the quartz sand reservoir 24 and stored therein. Thus, the elastic aggregate can be reliably transferred from the elastic aggregate discharge port 26 to the settling tank 61 of the elastic aggregate settling device 60.

なお、上記トンネルに代えて、篩本体42の側方から綱目状又は金属板状の壁体を、その高さが水中に没しないように立ててもよい。これにより、洗浄水が傾斜篩上から側方に外方に外れるのが防止できる。   Instead of the tunnel, a wall of a mesh shape or a metal plate shape may be erected from the side of the sieve main body 42 so that its height does not immerse in water. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cleaning water from escaping outward from the inclined screen.

以上、本発明の典型例について説明したが人工芝洗浄槽10により回収された充填材には、珪砂の粒径が弾性骨材と同程度のものが混入している場合がある。このような場合、粗粒珪砂に合わせた目開きの大きな傾斜篩を採用することが考えられる。しかしながら、このような構成を取った場合、弾性骨材の一部、特に大径の骨材が珪砂とともに篩下に移行し、回収された珪砂に弾性骨材が混入するおそれがある。   Although the typical example of the present invention has been described above, the filler recovered by the artificial turf cleaning tank 10 may contain a silica sand having the same particle size as that of the elastic aggregate. In such a case, it is conceivable to employ an inclined sieve having a large mesh size that matches the coarse silica sand. However, when such a configuration is adopted, a part of the elastic aggregate, in particular, a large-diameter aggregate may move under the sieve together with the silica sand, and the elastic aggregate may be mixed into the recovered silica sand.

かかる問題を解決するためには、図9に示すように、傾斜・振動篩30の末端部に粗粒珪砂分別部40を設けるのが好ましい。すなわち、傾斜・振動篩30の篩本体42の末端部に設ける舌状部35の一部を弾性骨材沈降装置60の沈降槽61への接続部直前の水槽本体23側で切り取って開口部43とするのである。このようにすることにより、篩本体42上に残留し、傾斜・振動篩の末端部まで運ばれてきた粗粒珪砂は開口部43を通って落下し、珪砂貯留部24に沈降することになる。一方、弾性骨材はその比重が小さいので、開口部43から落下することなく、洗浄水の水流によって弾性骨材沈降装置60側に運ばれることになる。   In order to solve such a problem, as shown in FIG. 9, it is preferable to provide a coarse-grained silica sand separation portion 40 at the end of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30. That is, a part of the tongue-like portion 35 provided at the end of the sieve main body 42 of the inclined / vibrating sieve 30 is cut off on the side of the water tank main body 23 immediately before the connecting portion to the settling tank 61 of the elastic aggregate settling device 60 to open the opening 43. It is. By doing so, the coarse silica sand remaining on the sieve main body 42 and carried to the end of the inclined / vibrating sieve falls through the opening 43 and settles in the silica sand reservoir 24. . On the other hand, since the specific gravity of the elastic aggregate is small, the elastic aggregate is carried to the elastic aggregate settling device 60 side by the water flow of the washing water without falling from the opening 43.

図1〜図9(図6を除く)に示す構成を有する人工芝充填材分離回収装置を用いて構築後6年を経過した回収人工芝から珪砂及び弾性骨材を回収する操業を行った。人工芝充填材分離回収装置の諸元は表1に示すとおりである。なお、本実施例では図9に示すように粗粒珪砂分別部を設けてある。操業に当たって供した回収人工芝の特性値(人工芝マット、充填材の材質、充填量)は表2に示すとおりであり、人工芝充填材分離回収装置への洗浄水の循環供給量及び人工芝(マット+充填材)の供給量は表3に示すとおりであった。   Using the artificial turf filler separating and collecting apparatus having the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 (excluding FIG. 6), an operation was performed to recover silica sand and elastic aggregate from the collected artificial turf that has passed six years after construction. Table 1 shows the specifications of the artificial turf filling material separation and recovery device. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a coarse-grained silica sand separation portion is provided. The characteristic values (artificial turf mat, filler material, and filling amount) of the collected artificial turf used in the operation are as shown in Table 2. Circulating supply amount of washing water to the artificial turf filler separating and collecting device and artificial turf The amount of (mat + filler) supplied was as shown in Table 3.

操業結果は、表4に示すとおりである。表4に示すように、珪砂、弾性骨材は、その全量を分離・回収することができ、使用した洗浄水はその全量が循環使用された。回収された珪砂、弾性骨材は、人工芝工事にリサイクルできるほか、珪砂は土木工事に、弾性骨材はサーマルリサイクル用に利用することができた。なお、洗浄され、充填材の分離された人工芝マットは、サーマルリサイクル用に利用できた。   The operation results are as shown in Table 4. As shown in Table 4, the entire amount of silica sand and elastic aggregate could be separated and recovered, and the entire amount of wash water used was circulated. The recovered silica sand and elastic aggregate could be recycled for artificial turf construction, quartz sand for civil engineering work, and elastic aggregate for thermal recycling. The artificial turf mat that had been cleaned and from which the filler was separated could be used for thermal recycling.
