Description

本発明は、少なくとも筐体の一部がプラスチック材料からなる使用済み携帯電話機を、加熱した後に手分解する携帯電話機の解体方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for disassembling a mobile phone in which a used mobile phone having at least a part of a casing made of a plastic material is manually disassembled after heating.

携帯電話機には、金などの貴金属をはじめ、インジウムなどのレアメタルが含まれるため、資源枯渇による影響が予測される我が国では、国内でのリサイクルが推進されている。一方、プラスチック材料は、軽量で、加工が容易であり、耐久性に優れるため、様々な筺体に用いられているが、比較的安価であるため、プラスチック材料を焼却して熱回収を行い、有価で取引きされる金属資源だけが回収されることが多かった。   Since mobile phones contain precious metals such as gold and rare metals such as indium, recycling in Japan is being promoted in Japan, where the impact of resource depletion is expected. On the other hand, plastic materials are lightweight, easy to process, and excellent in durability, so they are used in various housings. However, because they are relatively inexpensive, plastic materials are incinerated for heat recovery and valuable. Often, only the metal resources traded in were collected.

しかしながら、石油資源の枯渇が危惧される現在、プラスチック材料もできるだけ材料としてリサイクルされることが環境の観点から望まれている（非特許文献１）。また廃棄された携帯電話機を粉砕処理した場合、プラスチック、金属等の材料が混合され、リサイクルのための分別が必要となるため、分離のためのエネルギーが必要であった。さらに部品のリユースも一部、始まっているが、該当部品を損なわずに取り出す方法として、手解体が最適であるが、経済的に見合わないことからあまり推進されていなかった。   However, at present, when there is concern about the depletion of petroleum resources, it is desired from the environmental point of view that plastic materials be recycled as much as possible (Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, when a discarded mobile phone is pulverized, materials such as plastic and metal are mixed and need to be separated for recycling, so that energy for separation is required. In addition, some parts have been reused, but manual disassembly is the best way to remove the parts without damaging them, but it has not been promoted much because it is not economically appropriate.

以上のように使用済み携帯電話機のリサイクルにおいて、手解体の必要性が高まってきている。しかしながら、携帯電話機の技術革新が早く、モデルチェンジが迅速に行われるため、１台ごとに解体手順や接合箇所・方法が異なり、その探索に時間を要する。さらに部品の締結に用いられるねじの形状は、一種類ではなく、既存の携帯電話機では、ねじ頭部の形状が＋（プラス）、−（マイナス）といったものだけではなく、Ｙ字、星型、車輪型 等、様々であり、１台の携帯電話機を手解体するために、一種類の道具では完了しないことが多く、道具を用意する手間もかかっていた。   As described above, there is an increasing need for manual disassembly in recycling used mobile phones. However, since the technological innovation of mobile phones is fast and model changes are made quickly, the disassembly procedure, joint locations, and methods differ for each device, and it takes time to search. Furthermore, the shape of the screw used to fasten the parts is not one type, and in existing mobile phones, the shape of the screw head is not only + (plus),-(minus), but also Y-shaped, star-shaped, There are various types such as wheel type, and in order to dismantle one mobile phone by hand, it is often not completed with one kind of tool, and it takes time and effort to prepare the tool.

そこで、リサイクルの現場では、よりコストが安い機械破砕や焼却により携帯電話機を破壊し、一部の金属材料（金、銅、銀等）が回収されているのが実情であり、部品の再利用を含む、より高品質なリサイクルを達成するためには、手解体時間を短縮して、コストを削減することが課題であった。   Therefore, at the recycling site, mobile phones are destroyed by cheaper mechanical crushing and incineration, and some metal materials (gold, copper, silver, etc.) are recovered, and the parts are reused. In order to achieve higher-quality recycling, including wastewater, it has been a challenge to reduce manual disassembly time and cost.

物品の手解体を容易にする方法として、所定温度以上に加熱するとねじによる締結が無効となる易分解締結部によって組み立てられた物品に、過熱蒸気を供給して物品を分解する方法が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。   As a method for facilitating manual disassembly of an article, there has been proposed a method for disassembling an article by supplying superheated steam to an article assembled by an easily disassembling fastening portion that is not fastened with screws when heated to a predetermined temperature or higher. (See Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、特許文献１に開示された分解方法では、易分解締結を可能とするねじを使用する必要があり、そのようなねじが一般に広まっていない現状では、実用的ではないという問題点があった。   However, in the disassembling method disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to use a screw that allows easy disassembly and fastening, and there is a problem that such a screw is not practical in the current situation where such a screw is not widely spread. .

［第１の実施の形態］
以下、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。図１は本実施の形態に係る携帯電話機の解体方法を説明するフローチャート、図２は本実施の形態に係る処理装置の構成を示すブロック図である。
本実施の形態では、少なくとも筐体の一部がプラスチック材料からなる携帯電話機１をバッチ式処理装置２に投入し（ステップＳ１００）、バッチ式処理装置２の内部に設けられた過熱水蒸気発生装置３によって常圧で１００℃以上に加熱した過熱水蒸気に携帯電話機１を曝して、プラスチック材料を加熱することにより、プラスチック材料を軟化させる（ステップＳ１０１）。 [First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining a mobile phone disassembly method according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a processing apparatus according to the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the mobile phone 1 having at least a part of the casing made of a plastic material is put into the batch type processing apparatus 2 (step S100), and the superheated steam generator 3 provided inside the batch type processing apparatus 2 is used. The plastic phone is softened by exposing the mobile phone 1 to superheated steam heated to 100 ° C. or more under normal pressure to heat the plastic material (step S101).

過熱水蒸気は、食品加工等の分野で既に実用化されており、過熱水蒸気発生装置も一般に使用されるようになっている。例えば、＜ｈｔｔｐ：／／ｗｗｗ．ｓｈｉｎｎｅｔｓｕ．ｃｏ．ｊｐ／ｐｒｏｄｕｃｔｓ／１９／ｉｎｄｅｘ．ｈｔｍｌ＞に開示されているように、過熱水蒸気による加熱とオーブンなどによる加熱との違いは、水蒸気が介在することにより、熱伝達効率が高く、また短時間で温度一定となるため、短時間での処理が可能なことである。   Superheated steam has already been put into practical use in the field of food processing and the like, and a superheated steam generator is generally used. For example, <http: // www. shinnetsu. co. jp / products / 19 / index. As disclosed in html>, the difference between heating with superheated steam and heating with an oven is that the heat transfer efficiency is high due to the presence of steam, and the temperature is constant in a short time. Is possible.

次に、加熱した携帯電話機１を作業者が手で解体し（ステップＳ１０２）、作業者が部品毎あるいは材料毎に分別し（ステップＳ１０３）、分別した部品や材料を再資源化業者に渡す（ステップＳ１０４）。再資源化業者は、回収した部品や材料の再資源化（中古部品としての再利用や、再生プラスチックの生成、金属の精錬、貴金属の回収など）を行う。   Next, the worker disassembles the heated mobile phone 1 by hand (step S102), and the worker sorts the parts or materials by parts (step S103), and delivers the sorted parts and materials to the recycling company (step S103). Step S104). The recycling company recycles the collected parts and materials (reuse as used parts, generation of recycled plastic, metal refining, recovery of precious metals, etc.).

本実施の形態では、以上のような解体方法の１例として、アクリロニトリル・ブタジエン・スチレン樹脂（ＡＢＳ）を筐体素材とする携帯電話機１の解体を行った。具体的には、ＡＢＳを筐体素材とする携帯電話機１をバッチ式処理装置２に３分間設置して過熱水蒸気処理した後、手で解体を行い、液晶ディスプレイ、基板、カメラおよびモーターと筐体とに分離した。ＡＢＳの軟化温度は概ね１００℃付近である。過熱水蒸気雰囲気下の温度を測定したところ、雰囲気の温度は１７０℃であったのにも関わらず、筺体表面は１３０℃未満、液晶表面は８０℃未満であった。携帯電話機１の手解体に要した平均時間は２分であり、ねじ回しなどは不要であった。   In the present embodiment, as an example of the disassembly method as described above, the mobile phone 1 using acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene resin (ABS) as a casing material is disassembled. Specifically, the cellular phone 1 using ABS as a casing material is placed in a batch processing apparatus 2 for 3 minutes and subjected to superheated steam treatment, then disassembled by hand, and a liquid crystal display, a substrate, a camera, a motor, and a casing And separated. The softening temperature of ABS is approximately around 100 ° C. When the temperature in the superheated steam atmosphere was measured, the surface of the enclosure was less than 130 ° C. and the surface of the liquid crystal was less than 80 ° C. despite the fact that the temperature of the atmosphere was 170 ° C. The average time required for manual disassembly of the mobile phone 1 was 2 minutes, and no screwdriver was required.

通常、ねじ回しなどの道具を用いて携帯電話機を解体した場合、平均で１２分かかることから、本実施の形態によれば解体時間を大幅に短縮できることが分かる。また、ＡＢＳからなる筐体部分は軟化温度以上の温度に上昇したが、液晶ディスプレイや内部の表面の最大温度は動作保障温度内であった。このため、部品の機能を損なうことはなく、解体分離した液晶ディスプレイ、カメラおよひモーターは動作し、再利用できることを確認した。   Normally, when a mobile phone is disassembled using a tool such as a screwdriver, it takes 12 minutes on average, and it can be seen that the disassembly time can be greatly reduced according to this embodiment. Further, the casing portion made of ABS rose to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening temperature, but the maximum temperature of the liquid crystal display and the internal surface was within the guaranteed operating temperature. For this reason, it was confirmed that the liquid crystal display, camera, and motor that were disassembled worked and could be reused without impairing the function of the parts.

なお、本実施の形態では、部品を再利用できるようにすることから、部品の信頼性を確保することができ部品を再利用することが可能な程度の過熱水蒸気の温度および曝露時間であることが望ましい。
過熱水蒸気の温度は、過熱水蒸気でプラスチック材料が、その軟化温度よりも５〜３０℃以上の温度になるように設定すればよい。また、過熱水蒸気に携帯電話機１を曝す曝露時間は、３０秒から１０分の短時間の範囲で設定すればよい。 In this embodiment, since the component can be reused, the temperature of the superheated steam and the exposure time must be such that the reliability of the component can be ensured and the component can be reused. Is desirable.
What is necessary is just to set the temperature of superheated steam so that a plastic material may be 5-30 degreeC or more rather than the softening temperature with superheated steam. Moreover, what is necessary is just to set the exposure time which exposes the mobile telephone 1 to superheated steam in the range for a short time of 30 seconds to 10 minutes.

［第２の実施の形態］
次に、本発明の第２の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態では、ポリアミド（ＰＡ）とガラスファイバーとの複合体を筐体素材とする携帯電話機１を第１の実施の形態と同じ条件のバッチ式処理装置２に３分間設置して過熱水蒸気処理した後、作業者が手で携帯電話機１の解体を行い、液晶ディスプレイ、基板、カメラおよびモーターと筐体とに分離した。携帯電話機１の解体に要した平均時間は２分であり、ねじ回しなどは不要であった。また、分離した液晶ディスプレイ、カメラおよびモーターは動作し、再利用できることを確認した。 [Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, a cellular phone 1 having a composite material of polyamide (PA) and glass fiber as a casing material is placed in a batch type processing apparatus 2 under the same conditions as in the first embodiment for 3 minutes to superheat steam. After the processing, the operator disassembled the mobile phone 1 by hand and separated it into a liquid crystal display, a substrate, a camera, a motor and a housing. The average time required for dismantling the mobile phone 1 was 2 minutes, and no screwdriver was required. Also, it was confirmed that the separated liquid crystal display, camera and motor work and can be reused.

［第３の実施の形態］
次に、本発明の第３の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態では、ポリカーボネート（ＰＣ）とＡＢＳの複合体を筐体素材とする携帯電話機１を第１の実施の形態と同じ条件のバッチ式処理装置２に３分間設置して過熱水蒸気処理した後、作業者が手で携帯電話機１の解体を行い、液晶ディスプレイ、基板、カメラおよびモーターと筐体とに分離した。携帯電話機１の解体に要した平均時間は２分であり、ねじ回しなどは不要であった。また、分離した液晶ディスプレイ、カメラおよびモーターは動作し、再利用できることを確認した。 [Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, the cellular phone 1 having a polycarbonate (PC) and ABS composite as a casing material is placed in the batch processing apparatus 2 under the same conditions as in the first embodiment for 3 minutes and subjected to superheated steam treatment. Thereafter, the operator manually disassembled the mobile phone 1 and separated it into a liquid crystal display, a substrate, a camera, a motor, and a housing. The average time required for dismantling the mobile phone 1 was 2 minutes, and no screwdriver was required. Also, it was confirmed that the separated liquid crystal display, camera and motor work and can be reused.

［第４の実施の形態］
次に、本発明の第４の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態では、図３に示すように、ＡＢＳを筐体素材とする携帯電話機１をフロー式処理装置２ａに設置して過熱水蒸気処理した後、作業者が手で携帯電話機１の解体を行い、液晶ディスプレイ、基板、カメラおよびモーターと筐体とに分離した。本実施の形態では、携帯電話機１を１台ずつ過熱水蒸気処理するバッチ式処理装置２と異なり、複数台の携帯電話機１の過熱水蒸気処理が可能なフロー式処理装置２ａを用いるため、複数の作業者によって一度に２台以上の携帯電話機１の処理が可能であり、バッチ式処理装置使用時よりもさらに解体時間を短縮することができる。具体的には、携帯電話機１の解体に要した時間は１台あたり平均１分であり、ねじ回しなどは不要であった。また、分離した液晶ディスプレイ、カメラおよびモーターは動作し、再利用できることを確認した。 [Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, after the cellular phone 1 having ABS as a casing material is installed in the flow type processing apparatus 2a and subjected to superheated steam treatment, the operator manually disassembles the cellular phone 1. And separated into liquid crystal display, substrate, camera and motor and housing. In the present embodiment, unlike the batch type processing apparatus 2 that performs superheated steam treatment on the mobile phones 1 one by one, a flow type processing apparatus 2a capable of superheated steam treatment on a plurality of mobile phones 1 is used. A person can process two or more mobile phones 1 at a time, and the disassembly time can be further reduced as compared with the case of using a batch processing apparatus. Specifically, the time required for dismantling the mobile phone 1 was 1 minute on average per unit, and no screwdriver was required. Also, it was confirmed that the separated liquid crystal display, camera and motor work and can be reused.
