(Operation) The shredder supply device 1 having the above-described configuration operates as follows. The used paper 10 is stacked on the mounting table 8 shown in FIG. 1, and when the operation is started, the elevating means 13 raises the mounting table 8, whereby the uppermost used paper 10 is fed to the sheet feeding roller of the separating and feeding unit 14. It contacts 39 from below. Next, the paper feed roller 39 is rotated, and the used paper 10 that is in contact with the paper feed roller 39 is sandwiched between the paper feed roller 14 and sent out to the paper feed path 11.

When the waste paper 10 is sent out to the paper feed path 11, the lifting / lowering means 13 raises the placing table 8 by one waste paper 10. As a result, the second most used waste paper 10 comes into contact with the paper feed roller 39 and is sent out to the paper feed path 11 as described above. By repeating such an operation, the used paper supply unit 2 automatically and continuously supplies the used paper 10 loaded on the placing table 8 to the transport path 11.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the separating and feeding unit 14, the waste paper 10 that is in contact with the paper feed roller 39 is transferred between the paper feed roller 39 and the contact member 42 of the friction separation member 40. Only one waste paper 10 separated from the paper and abutting against the paper feed roller 39 is sent out to the paper feed path 11. In other words, only the uppermost used paper 10 of the used paper 10 loaded on the mounting table 8 is sent out to the paper feed path 11 by the separating and sending unit 14.

As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the used paper transport means 20 feeds the used paper 10 between the upper and lower guides 56, 57 by the rear transport roller 54, and the used paper 10 along the transport surface formed by the lower guide 56. Is sent to the front conveying roller 53.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the used paper 10 is transferred between the front transport roller 53 and the rear transport roller 54 because the transport speed of the rear transport roller 54 is faster than the transport speed of the front transport roller 53. Bends up and down. As the amount of bending of the used paper 10 increases, the bent portion is guided by the guides 56 and 57 and falls down in the front-rear direction of the paper feeding direction X and is folded on other portions.

As shown in FIG. 8C, the used paper 10 passes through the front conveying roller 53 in a state where the used paper 10 is overlapped, so that the used paper 10 is folded in a direction intersecting the paper feeding direction X and is folded in multiple layers. It becomes.

The waste paper 10 fed out by the front conveying roller 53 is put into the shredding unit 3 shown in FIG. 1 and subjected to shredding processing. At this time, since the shredded waste 70 is shredded in a multiple-folded state by the stack conveying means 48, the time required for shredding the waste paper 10 by the shredder blade 61 can be shortened. Moreover, the bulk of the shredded waste 70 obtained can be reduced, and even if the storage portion 4 is made small, a large amount of shredded waste 70 can be stored, and the shredded waste supply device 1 can be downsized. Can do.

Further, since the stacking and conveying means 48 includes the folding conveying means 51 that conveys the used paper 10 in a folded state, the used paper 10 can be conveyed in a small group, and the used paper 10 can be conveyed and handled when shredded. Becomes easy.

The number of times the used paper 10 is folded can be changed and set by controlling the transport speed difference between the transport speed of the front transport roller 53 and the transport speed of the rear transport roller 54. As the difference in the conveyance speed between the conveyance speed of the front conveyance roller 53 and the conveyance speed of the rear conveyance roller 54 increases, the length of the used paper 10 staying between the front conveyance roller 53 and the rear conveyance roller 54 increases. The number of foldings increases.

In this way, the control unit controls the transport speed of the front transport roller 53 to be slower than the transport speed of the rear transport roller 54, and the used paper 10 bends due to the transport speed difference between the front transport roller 53 and the rear transport roller 54. Since the used paper 10 is folded by the guides 56 and 57 and folded by the front transport roller 53, the used paper 10 can be easily folded with a simple structure.

The shredded waste 70 chopped and formed in the shredded portion 3 is stored in the lower storage portion 4 and is transported to the shredded waste disposal apparatus 100 as the next step by the shredded waste transporting means 78 as necessary.

  When supplying the shredded waste 70 to the shredded waste disposal apparatus 100, the rotation driving device 85 is driven to rotate the pair of delivery rollers 84 shown in FIG. As a result, the shredded waste 70 in the storage unit 4 is sandwiched between the delivery rollers 84 and drawn downward from the discharge port 63 of the storage unit 4. At this time, the shredded waste 70 is unwound and supplied to the supply port 95 of the dispersion cyclone 81. To the main body 94.

  The shredder conveying means 78 shown in FIG. 2 drives the blower 76 so that the air discharged from the discharge port 109 of the blower 76 flows in the third duct 69, passes through the dispersion cyclone 81, The air flows through the inside of the first duct 67, flows into the second duct 68 through the discharge cyclone 74, and is sucked into the suction port 108 of the blower 76 from the second duct 68. Thereby, the air discharged from the discharge port 109 of the blower 76 circulates in the third duct 69, the first duct 67 and the second duct 68.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, in the dispersion cyclone 81, the air that has flowed into the main body portion 94 from the air flow inlet 96 becomes a swirl flow (vortex flow) and flows into the upstream side of the first duct 67 from the discharge port 97. To do. Along with this, the shredded waste 70 fed into the main body 94 of the dispersing cyclone 81 by the feed roller 84 is dispersed by this swirling flow, rides on the airflow and upstream of the first duct 67 from the discharge port 97. It is thrown into. As a result, the shredded waste 70 does not become a lump but is reliably unwound by the feed roller 84 and dispersed by the dispersing cyclone 81 and is introduced to the upstream side of the first duct 67. Therefore, the shredded waste 70 can be prevented from being put into the first duct 67 in a lump state, and the lump of shredded waste 70 is stagnated and clogged in the first duct 67 without being transferred. Can be prevented.

  The shredded waste 70 introduced into the upstream side of the first duct 67 in this way is carried on the airflow and is transported from the upstream side to the downstream side in the transfer space 65 of the first duct 67, and the shredded cyclone 74 is shredded. 6 flows into the main body 102 from the waste inlet 103, collides with the inner wall surface of the main body 102 by a swirling flow (vortex) generated in the main body 102, and descends due to gravity. As shown in FIG. 105 is discharged to the tray 118 of the weighing unit 114.

  When the weight of the shredded waste 70 discharged to the tray 118 of the weighing unit 114 is detected by the weight detector 121 and reaches a specified weight, the swinging device 120 is activated and the tray 118 is moved from the receiving position. It swings to the charging position, and shredded waste 70 on the tray 118 is charged into the stirring tank 115. Thereafter, the pulp is hydrated into the shredded waste 70 in the pulper device 113 and separated to produce recycled pulp, and the recycled pulp obtained is made in a papermaking device to obtain recycled paper.

  The air that flows into the main body 102 from the shredded waste inlet 103 of the discharge cyclone 74 together with the shredded waste 70 becomes a swirling flow in the main body 102 and flows down to the vicinity of the discharge port 105 together with the shredded waste 70. , A part is discharged from the discharge port 105 together with the shredded waste 70, the remaining part is sucked into the air flow outlet 104 where the negative pressure is obtained, and becomes an upward air flow along the axis at the center of the main body 102, and is sucked into the air flow outlet 104. .

The air that has flowed into the second duct 68 from the airflow outlet 104 passes through the second duct 68 and is sucked into the suction port 108 of the blower 76. In the blower 76, the same amount of air as the air discharged from the discharge port 105 of the discharge cyclone 74 is sucked from the outside air suction unit 111 and discharged from the discharge port 109 together with the air sucked into the suction port 108 from the second duct 68. To do.

And a pair of left and right traveling belts 139 spanned between the front and rear pulleys 138 and the left and right traveling belts 139, and reciprocating back and forth as the traveling belt 139 travels. A connecting member 141 that moves; a pair of left and right guide rails 137 that guide the reciprocating movement of the connecting member 141; and a locking position sensor 147 that detects the presence or absence of the locking portion 131 at the front position or the rear position in the paper feeding direction X. 148. The connecting member 141 connects a traveling belt 139 a that reciprocates below, and a hanging member 131 a is suspended from the lower surface of the connecting member 141.

The drive unit 133 includes a motor 144, a drive pulley 142 fixed to the rear rotating shaft 136, and a drive belt 145 that rotates the drive pulley 142 by the rotation of the motor 144.

The pair of rotating shafts 135 and 136 are installed as far as the longitudinal length of the mounting table 8, and the driving shaft 133 drives the rear rotating shaft 136 in the forward and reverse directions via the driving belt 145 and the driving pulley 142. By rotating, the pulley 138 fixed to the rotating shaft 136 is rotated in the forward / reverse direction, whereby the connecting member 141 is reciprocated in the forward / reverse direction with respect to the transport direction X via the running belt 139. The stop part 131 is reciprocated.

The operation of the shredder supply device 1A of the second embodiment will be described below. The locking part 131 is set in advance so as to be located behind the rear end edge of the used paper 10 on the placing table 8. And if the raising / lowering means 13 raises the mounting base 8, and the level sensor 36 detects that the uppermost waste paper 10 rose to the installation height of the level sensor 36, the raising of the mounting base 8 will be stopped.

When the drive unit 133 is driven, the rotation shafts 135 and 136 rotate, the lower traveling belt 139a travels in the paper feeding direction X, and the locking unit 131 comes into contact with the rear edge of the waste paper 10 to lock it. Then, by further running of the belt 132a, a predetermined number of used papers 10 are sent from the top to the paper feed path 11 while being stacked, and are conveyed to the shredding unit 3.

Here, it is preferable that the number of the used paper 10 to be conveyed simultaneously is about 2 to 10. This is because, by setting the number to about two to ten, it can be easily chopped by the cutting blade 61 at the chopping portion 3. The number of the used paper 10 to be simultaneously conveyed is set in advance by adjusting the length of the hanging member 131a from the connecting member 141.

Thereafter, the lifting and lowering means 13 descends the mounting table 8 and rotates the motor 144 in the reverse direction, so that the connecting member 141 travels in the reverse direction with respect to the paper feeding direction X, and the locking portion 131 is moved to the original waste paper. Return to 10 rear position. Then, the mounting table 8 is raised again by the lifting means 13. At that time, the height of the mounting table 8 is set higher than that of the previous conveyance by the height of a predetermined number of used paper 10 to be sent next. As a result, a predetermined number of the used paper 10 from the next used paper 10 positioned at the uppermost position is locked by the locking portion 131 and sent out to the paper feed path 11 in the same manner as described above. By repeating such an operation, a predetermined number of used papers 10 are simultaneously conveyed to the shredding unit 3.

As described above, the shredder supply apparatus 1A according to the second embodiment can transport a plurality of waste papers 10 to the shredder 3 at the same time, and can shred in an overlapped state. Can be shortened, and the bulk of shredded waste can be greatly reduced. Therefore, the capacity | capacitance of the storage part 4 can be made small and it is possible to make the occupation area of 1 A of shredded waste supply apparatuses small. Also, when sending the shredded waste 70 from the shredder 3 to the weighing unit 114, each shredded waste 70 is transported in a state where a plurality of waste papers 10 are overlapped to increase the weight. The time required for this can be greatly reduced.

The plural-sheet simultaneous conveying means 130 moves the locking portion 131 along the paper feeding direction X, and the locking portion 131 that locks the rear ends of the plurality of used paper 10 placed on the placing table 8. Since the moving means 132 is provided, the rear end of the used paper 10 is locked by the locking portion 131, and the locking portion 131 is moved in the paper feeding direction X by the moving means 132. Can be transported.

The moving unit 132 includes a traveling belt 139 installed above the mounting table 8 and a driving unit 133 that causes the traveling belt 139 to travel along the paper feeding direction X. Since the hanging member 131a is provided to be suspended from the lower surface of the belt 132, a plurality of used papers 10 can be easily conveyed simultaneously with a simple structure.

In the first embodiment, the stacking and conveying means 48 includes the folding and conveying means 51 that conveys the used paper 10 in a folded state and a plurality of used paper 10 that are stacked and conveyed. However, the stacking and conveying means according to the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the front end of the waste paper 10 is stacked one by one or a predetermined number of sheets at a predetermined length in the rearward direction along the conveying direction. They may be conveyed continuously or intermittently by a predetermined amount. Thus, in order to shift the front end of the waste paper 10 by a predetermined length, in the second embodiment, the traveling belt 139 is turned around instead of reciprocating and is suspended on the lower surface of the traveling belt 139. For example, the portion 131 may be provided at a plurality of locations on the traveling belt that circulates in one place, and one or a plurality of used papers 10 may be sequentially locked.

In addition, the multiple sheet simultaneous conveying unit 130 includes the locking unit 131 and the moving unit 132. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the first embodiment, the support unit 46 of the separation and delivery unit 14 is energized. The biasing force by the means 41 may be weakened, and the contact pressure of the contact member 42 against the paper feed roller 39 may be reduced. As a result, a few old papers from the top on the mounting table 8 can be transported simultaneously without being separated. Further, as another example of the plural-sheet simultaneous conveying means, the contact member 42 can be changed to a material having a low frictional resistance. As a result, similarly to the above, it is possible to simultaneously convey a plurality of old papers from the top on the mounting table 8 in a stacked state without being separated one by one.

Moreover, although both the delivery rollers 84 of the delivery means 80 have the flexibility which can be expanded / contracted in radial direction by providing the outer peripheral member 84d, the delivery roller according to the present invention is not limited to this. Only one of the delivery rollers may be provided with the outer peripheral member 84d so as to be flexible in the radial direction.

  Further, although the roller main body 84b configured by the core member 84c and the outer peripheral member 84d formed of a flexible material is used, the roller main body 84b is not limited to this configuration, and is configured by rubber having a hollow portion. Alternatively, the roller body 84b may be used.

In addition, the hanging member 131a of the locking portion 131 is configured such that columnar protrusions having a predetermined length are arranged apart from each other in the width direction. Instead, a thin plate member is used as the connecting member 141. For example, it may be suspended along the width direction on the lower surface.
