Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an electric wire dismantling device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, environmental conservation has been considered an international issue, and in Japan, amendments to laws and enactment of new laws are being considered to respond to this. Based on this, there is an urgent need for industry to recycle and reduce waste.

[0003] Conventionally, in the recycling of electric wire waste, the recovery of copper has mainly been performed.

[0004] 1. A method of recovering copper by burning wire components.

[0005] 2. A method in which copper is recovered by slicing wire components using a grooved roller or slitter roller.

[0006] 3. A method for recovering copper by a so-called nugget method in which an electric wire is cut or roughly crushed to about 5 mm to 50 mm, and then completely crushed to separate and collect copper. Is widely known.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the above-mentioned method of recovering copper by incinerating wire components, for example, it is extremely difficult to separate and recover a plastic jacket or aluminum foil that can be used as a resource. Requires a large amount of capital investment, and has the problem that it is not possible to achieve the recycling and reduction of waste.

[0008] Further, in the method of recovering copper by cutting a wire component using the grooved rollers 20 shown in FIG. 3 or the wire breaking machine 25 using the slitted rollers 26 shown in FIG. However, since the wire components are cut in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to separate and collect plastic jackets, copper foil or aluminum foil, jute as intervening members, etc. that can be used as resources, but the following problems are encountered. is there.

[0009] In the method of recovering copper by cutting the wire component using the grooved rollers 20, 20, the wire component cannot be cut unless the wire matches the groove widths 20a,. There is a problem.

In the wire disassembly device 25 using the slitter-equipped roller 26, the wire is displaced or rotated in the twisting direction, and the valley of the wire is cut even if the ridge of the wire is cut off. The wire jacket cannot be reliably torn over its entire length, such as being not torn, and the wire bends due to bending of the wire or the wire that occurs when the wire is inserted between the slitter rollers 26. Often it is not possible to completely cut the wire jacket over its entire length, and it takes a long time to separate and collect plastic coating, copper or aluminum foil that can be used as resources, and jute as an intervening member. Instead, each time the sheath of an electric wire having a different outer diameter is torn, the position of the slitter rollers 26, 26 is adjusted by the handle 27 and the position of the electric wire guides 28, 28 is adjusted by the handle 29. This operation is extremely troublesome, and it requires a long time to adjust even a skilled person.

Further, in a so-called nugget method in which an electric wire is cut or roughly pulverized by about 5 mm to 50 mm, and then completely pulverized to separate and collect copper, the electric wire is cut or roughly pulverized by about 5 mm to 50 mm and then completely pulverized. Is separated and recovered, and the plastic jacket, copper foil or aluminum foil, which can be used as a resource, and jute as an intervening member are mixed, making it extremely difficult to separate and recover it. And are often disposed of. For this reason, there is a problem that the recycling and reduction of waste cannot be achieved. Further, there is a problem that 100% of the copper cannot be recovered because a part of the copper is pulverized and mixed with other components to be discarded.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to automatically disassemble various electric wires with extremely simple operation, and to collect and recover 100% of reusable components. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wire dismantling device capable of appropriately treating waste.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the above problem is solved by a wire transport mechanism 2 having a relatively long portion which moves left and right by a signal from a wire outer diameter measuring device 5 and which holds and transports the wire from the left and right. A guide mechanism 3 arranged from the vicinity of the transport entrance to the vicinity of the middle of the wire transport mechanism 2 for guiding and controlling the posture of the electric wire conveyed by moving up and down by a signal from the device 5 and controlling the posture of the electric wire; A cutter mechanism 4 disposed immediately after a guide mechanism 3 that moves up and down in response to a signal from the device 5 and cuts an electric wire jacket that is conveyed, and the left and right are sandwiched by the electric wire transport mechanism 2, and The problem is solved by cutting the electric wire jacket conveyed in a state where the posture is controlled by the guide mechanism unit 3 by the cutter mechanism unit 4 in the conveyance process.

An electric wire is set in the electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5. In response to a signal from the wire outer diameter measuring device 5, the wire transport mechanism 2 moves left and right, and the guide mechanism 3 and the cutter mechanism 4 move up and down automatically to an optimal position for cutting the wire jacket. Set.

In this state, the electric wire is inserted into the device. The inserted electric wire is clamped on the left and right by the electric wire transport mechanism 2, the posture is controlled by the guide mechanism 3, and is guided up and down to be transported to the cutter mechanism 4. By means of the part 4, the electric wire jacket is completely cut over the entire length and is carried out. As described above, the electric wire jacket is sandwiched between the left and right by the electric wire transport mechanism 2, is controlled in attitude by the guide mechanism 3, and is cut by the cutter mechanism 4 in a guided state. In this case, it was possible to eliminate the conventional disadvantages such as the wire being displaced or rotating in the twisting direction and not being able to cut the jacket over the entire length, and the wire jacket was controlled as if the posture was by hand. In this state, it is securely cut over the entire length and transported. Further, since the electric wire inserted into the device is sandwiched between the left and right by the electric wire transport mechanism section 2 and is carried into the device without difficulty, there is no possibility that the electric wire having a small diameter will be bent when inserted. Therefore, various kinds of electric wires such as small electric wires, large electric wires, and flat electric wires can be automatically and randomly cut regardless of whether they are short or long.

In the case of an electric wire using a copper foil or an aluminum foil, a paper tape, or the like as an insulating material, the copper foil, the aluminum foil, the paper tape, or the like is reliably torn over the entire length, and the electric wire components are substantially separated. Since they are carried out in a state, the members that can be reused and the members that should be discarded can be separated and collected very easily.

Further, by passing the separated and recovered coated conductor through the present apparatus again, the plastic coating and the copper conductor can be separated and recovered very easily.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a simplified perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part showing a use state.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric wire disassembly device, 2 denotes an electric wire transport mechanism constituting the electric wire disassembly device 1, and the electric wire transport mechanism 2 includes a pair of left and right opposed belt conveyors, a chain conveyor, a toothed belt, It is composed of conveyors 2a and 2b composed of slat conveyors and the like, which are individually moved left and right by the same distance by a signal from an electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5 to be described later to convey the electric wires while holding them from the left and right.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a guide mechanism. The guide mechanism 3 comprises a pair of guide plates 3a and 3b opposed to each other in the vertical direction. The lower guide plate 3b is provided with a tapered surface 3b 'inclined downward. The upper guide plate 3a and the lower guide plate 3b are individually moved up and down by the same distance in response to a signal from an electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5 to be described later, to control the bending of the electric wire and the like, and to make the conveyed electric wire vertically. Guide from.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a cutter mechanism provided with a pair of cutters 4a and 4b, which are composed of a knife-type cutter, a rotary cutter, a laser cutter, and the like, which are vertically opposed to each other, and which constitute the cutter mechanism 4. Move up and down individually by the same distance by a signal from an electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5 to be described later, are clamped on the left and right by the transporters 2a and 2b constituting the electric wire transporting mechanism 2, and constitute the guide mechanism 3. The electric wire jacket C conveyed while being guided up and down by the guide plates 3a and 3b is cut in the vertical direction.

It should be noted that the transporters 2a and 2b constituting the wire transport mechanism 2 move left and right, the guide plates 3a and 3b constituting the guide mechanism 3 move up and down, and the cutter mechanism 4 moves. The moving of the constituent cutters 4a and 4b in the vertical direction is performed by a servomotor or the like, and the moving method is not particularly limited, such as by using a bowl screw, and is performed by an appropriate method.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an electric wire outer diameter measuring device. The electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5 includes a sensor, for example, a laser measuring device for measuring the electric wire outer diameter by a laser, and a signal from the electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5. As a result, the transporters 2a and 2b constituting the wire transport mechanism 2 are automatically positioned and set at the optimal positions for holding and transporting the wires, and the guide plates 3a and 3b constituting the guide mechanism 3 are connected to the wires. The cutters 4a and 4b constituting the cutter mechanism 4 are automatically positioned and set to the optimal positions for cutting the wire jacket. It should be noted that this wire outer diameter measuring device is not limited to a circular wire, and it is needless to say that the cross-sectional dimension can be accurately measured even with a flat wire or the like.

In order to cut the electric wire jacket by the electric wire disassembly device of the present invention configured as described above, the electric wire outer diameter is measured by the electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5. Based on signals from the electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5, the transporters 2a and 2b constituting the electric wire transport mechanism 2, the guide plates 3a and 3b constituting the guide mechanism 3, and the cutters 4a and 4b constituting the cutter mechanism 4 It is automatically positioned and set to the optimal position for cutting the wire jacket.

In this state, the electric wire is inserted between the transporters 2 a and 2 b constituting the electric wire transport mechanism 2 and between the guide plates 3 a and 3 b constituting the guide mechanism 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the inserted electric wire is clamped from the left and right by the conveyors 2a and 2b, the posture is controlled by the guide plates 3a and 3b, and is guided up and down to be conveyed to the cutter mechanism unit 4, where it is conveyed. In the transporting process, the electric wire jacket is completely cut from the vertical direction over the entire length by the cutters 4a and 4b constituting the cutter mechanism 4, and is carried out. That is, by inserting the electric wire between the transporters 2a and 2b constituting the electric wire transport mechanism 2 and between the guide plates 3a and 3b constituting the guide mechanism 3, the electric wire jacket is moved right and left by the electric wire transport mechanism 2. Is held, the posture is controlled by the guide mechanism 3, and the guide mechanism 3 cuts the wire in the guided state. Incomplete tearing of the jacket due to movement is reliably prevented, and the wire jacket is reliably torn over the entire length as if controlled by hand and transported out. Further, even a small-diameter electric wire having a weak waist is conveyed into the device without any resistance by being sandwiched between the transporters 2a and 2b constituting the electric wire transporting mechanism unit 2 and is bent at the time of insertion. There is no danger that even if bending occurs at the time of insertion, since the left and right are held by the transporters 2a and 2b constituting the electric wire transporting mechanism 2 and the posture is controlled by the guide mechanism 3, the bending is performed. Is automatically corrected. Therefore, the outer diameter of the electric wire is measured by the electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5, and the electric wire is transferred between the transporters 2 a and 2 b constituting the electric wire transport mechanism 2 and between the guide plates 3 a and 3 b constituting the guide mechanism 3. Conventionally, it is difficult to disassemble various electric wires such as small-diameter electric wires, large-diameter electric wires, and flat-shaped electric wires, regardless of whether they are short or long, with extremely simple work just by inserting. Disassembly of wires of various shapes can be performed automatically and in a short time.

The electric wire jacket cut by the cutters 4a and 4b is discharged in a state of being curved right and left outward as shown in FIG. 2, so that the interposed member d such as a jute and the coated conductor c are extremely separated and recovered. It can be easily performed, and even if the electric wire uses copper foil or aluminum foil, paper tape, or the like as an insulating material, separation and collection of copper foil, aluminum foil, paper tape, and the like can be performed very easily.

Further, the outer diameter of the separated and recovered coated conductor c is measured by the electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5, so that the electric wire transport mechanism 2, the guide mechanism 3, and the cutter mechanism 4 are provided as described above. Is automatically positioned and set to the optimum position for cutting the coating. In this state, the plastic coating and the copper conductor can be separated and recovered by an extremely simple operation of merely passing the coated conductor c through the present apparatus.

Therefore, by separating and recovering 100% of the reusable constituent members and then discarding only the constituent members to be discarded, the number of discarded members can be greatly reduced, and the waste can be appropriately treated.

The embodiment has been described above in which the transport mechanism 2, the guide mechanism 3, and the cutter mechanism 4 are operated to disassemble the electric wires based on signals from the electric wire outer diameter measuring device 5, The present invention is not limited to this, but can be performed by manual operation.
