BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments in which the heating device of the present invention is used as an asphalt regenerating device will be described below with reference to the drawings. Asphalt reclaimer 1
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, is a bottomed combustion chamber 2 having an upper opening, a lid 3 for closing an opening 2b of the combustion chamber 2, and a microwave generator 4 connected to the lid. Is provided in 3,
A waveguide 5 directed to the inside of the combustion chamber 2 and a burner 6 directed to the inside of the combustion chamber 2 are provided.

That is, in the case of the illustrated example, the combustion chamber 2 has a flat circular pot-like shape in which the middle portion 2a swells to a large diameter with the same diameter and gradually decreases toward the top and bottom, and is attached to and detached from the opening upper part. The lid body 3 is fitted on the outer surface as much as possible. The lid 3 is composed of a flat lid top wall 31 and a lid peripheral wall 32 which is tapered and descends along the peripheral edge of the lid top wall 31. A pair of left and right grips 33 are provided on the lid peripheral wall 32, and the inner surface of the lid top wall 31 is provided so as to project downward along the peripheral edge of the lid top wall 31 with a slight inclination toward the center. It has a lid inner wall 34 that fits into the edge of the opening 2b of the chamber 2.

At the center of the lid top wall 31, a waveguide 5 is fixed downward, and the waveguide 5 has a flexible conductor wire whose middle portion is not shown, It is connected to a microwave generator 4 installed near the combustion chamber 2. A fan 7 is provided near the waveguide 5 on the lid top wall 31 toward the center, and is rotatable by a motor (not shown). With the above configuration, the asphalt piece (waste material) A peeled from the road surface is put into the opening 2b of the combustion chamber 2 and the lid 3 is covered with the lid 3. At this time, the lid inner wall 34 of the lid 3 is fitted into the edge portion of the opening 2b of the combustion chamber 2.

Next, the microwave generator 4 is activated,
The microwave is emitted from the waveguide 5 to the asphalt piece, and the fan 7 is rotated. It is preferable that driving or stopping of the microwave generator 4 and the fan 7 are set to interlock with each other. By the rotation of this fan 7,
The atmosphere in the combustion chamber is agitated and the microwave is not biased. In this way, the microwave can be used to heat the hard asphalt piece in a stationary state.

Next, when the burner 6 is also used,
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the burner 6 is directed toward the center of the inside of the combustion chamber 2 via the holder 8 to emit a flame and further heat it to melt the waste material to regenerate the asphalt. The burner 6 may be connected to a gas cylinder (not shown) serving as a heat source and arranged in the vicinity of the combustion chamber 2 so as to be easily taken out. This allows the waste asphalt pieces to be heated first by microwaves and then by the burner flame.

The combustion chamber 2 is housed in a casing 20,
The tilting device 3 is held and swung in the circumferential direction by the turning device 40.
It is preferable to have a configuration in which it is tilted up and down at 0. The casing 20 has a box shape that covers the outside of the combustion chamber 2, and may simply cover the combustion chamber 2 or may be configured to displaceably support the combustion chamber 2. That is, the tilting device 30, the turning device 40, or the rotating device 50 may be formed separately from the casing 20, or may be integrally formed.

In this embodiment, the tilting device 30 has a stand portion 31 installed in the casing 20, a holding frame 32 pivotally supported by the stand portion 31, a hydraulic cylinder 33, as shown in FIG. The holding frame 32 holds the combustion chamber 2 in an interlockable manner. The holding frame 32 includes a rear frame portion 32a that passes through the center behind the combustion chamber 2, a pair of left and right side frame portions 32c that extend by bending forward in the extension, and a rear frame portion 32a and a side frame portion 32c. A lower frame portion 32b is formed integrally with the lower frame portion 32b that extends downward from the space and is bent and connected to the front and extends horizontally along the lower side of the peripheral wall of the combustion chamber 2.

The pair of side frame portions 32c have pivots P2 projecting outward in the left and right directions toward the ends, and the pivots P2 are pivotally attached to the stand portion 31. On the other hand, the lower rear position of the stand portion 31 and the rear frame portion 3 of the holding frame 32.
Both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 33 are pivotally connected to the 2a. Therefore, the expansion rod of the hydraulic cylinder 33 can be contracted to tilt the combustion chamber 2 upward through the holding frame 32, or the expansion rod can be expanded to tilt the combustion chamber 2 to the center or downward.

Next, the swivel device 40 has a rotary shaft P1 which is integrally provided in the center of the bottom wall of the combustion chamber 2 and is rotatably supported by the rear frame portion 32a, and a hydraulic motor 41 which rotates the rotary shaft P1. And a guide roller 42 serving as a driven wheel. Therefore, the rotation shaft P1 is rotated by the drive of the hydraulic motor 41 fixed to the rear frame portion 32a, and the combustion chamber 2 is swung. Further, since guide rollers 42 are pivotally mounted on the lower frame portion 32b at left and right spaced positions, respectively, the guide rollers 42 are in contact with the middle portion 2a of the combustion chamber 2 to guide the swirling of the combustion chamber 2. Therefore, the hydraulic motor 41 is driven to rotate the combustion chamber 2, and at the same time, the guide roller 42 guides to stabilize the rotation.

Further, in place of the swirl device 40, a rotating device 50 having a stirring blade may be provided in the combustion chamber 2. Figure 6
, A stirring blade 51 is provided at the bottom of the combustion chamber 2,
Since the rotating shaft P1 ′ of the stirring blade 51 is connected to the hydraulic motor 52 provided on the back surface of the bottom wall of the combustion chamber 2, the stirring blade 51 is rotated by the driving of the hydraulic motor 52, and the asphalt piece in the combustion chamber 2 is rotated. Can be heated uniformly. In addition, the swivel device, the rotation device, and the tilting device may be implemented by any known means.

In the case of using the above-mentioned structure, during heating by the burner 6, the swirling device 40 or the rotating device 50 is operated to swirl the combustion chamber 2 or rotate the stirring blade 51 to homogenize the softened waste material. Can be dissolved in. At this time, since the asphalt piece has been softened by heating with microwaves in advance, impact noise is not generated even by rotation, and generation of noise can be suppressed. Furthermore,
When using the heated asphalt, the tilting device 30 can tilt the opening 2b of the combustion chamber 2 downward to facilitate discharge of the recycled asphalt. In addition, in this invention, the turning device 40 or the rotating device 50 can also be used at the time of heating using a microwave. At this time, the fan 7 may be used together, or may not be provided in the lid body 2 and may not be used.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the burner 6 is arranged so that its tip is directed to the center of the combustion chamber 2 by a holder 8 attached to the casing 20 so that the angle can be adjusted. The holder 8 includes the combustion chamber 2 and the casing 2.
It may be a stand portion attached to 0 or the like or standing on the installation surface, that is, any configuration that holds the burner 6 at a predetermined position. FIG. 4 shows a dual-purpose holding portion 8'removably holding the waveguide 5 provided on the lid 3. The dual-purpose holding portion 8'is of a cylindrical shape whose width gradually decreases toward the tip, and the waveguide 5 is also a truncated cone shape which is inserted into the dual-purpose holding portion 8'and is locked by a tapered surface. It is set on the outer peripheral surface.

Therefore, by making the outer peripheral surface of the burner 6 the same shape as the waveguide 5, the burner 6 can be locked to the dual-purpose holding portion 8'after removing the waveguide 5. Further, the engagement / disengagement means with respect to the dual-purpose holding portion 8'is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and needless to say, other engagement means may be used.

FIG. 7 shows an apparatus for performing asphalt strips by using a portable burner. In this case, as shown in the drawing, the burner 6 is provided through a burner holding portion 8 ″ to which the burner 6 can be detachably attached, at approximately the center of the lid body 3 serving as a holder. Ventilation holes (not shown) are provided at the locations, and other than that, except that the fan 7 is not provided, it is substantially the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. Therefore, the description will be omitted.

In the above embodiment, the case where the asphalt piece peeled from the pavement surface is used as the article to be heated is shown, but the kind of the article to be heated is not particularly limited, and may be industrial waste, for example. Good. Further, as in the above-described embodiment, a fan may be provided on the lid 3 (see FIG. 8). In this case, the fan 7 is arranged so as not to direct the air to the flame of the burner 6 but to direct the air in a direction in which the heated hot air is agitated and uniformly heated, so that the heating efficiency can be further improved. .

In each of these examples, SPC (trade name) is mixed with ash dust or heavy metal, and the mixture is heated and mixed to be melted. can do. In addition, the application of the heating device is not particularly limited, and in short, it is needless to say that various design changes can be made without changing the gist of the present invention.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the waveguide is provided in the lid, it is possible to easily perform the preheating by the microwave or the burner while the combustion chamber is covered with the waveguide. Also, when using the microwave and burner together,
When heating objects to be heated such as asphalt fragments and industrial waste that have been peeled off the road surface, first preheat using a microwave or burner, and then melt the objects to be softened with a burner while rotating the combustion chamber as before. Therefore, the microwave can be used with less electric power, and the generation of noise can be suppressed. That is, the object to be heated softened by the microwave or the burner does not generate a collision noise (noise) even if it is swirled or agitated when the burner is used, and the work can be performed quietly without causing noise. Further, the object to be heated can be heated or melted at low cost as compared with the case of processing only by the microwave. Further, when the burner is provided, the cover can prevent heat from escaping, the heating efficiency can be improved, and the object to be heated can be uniformly heated by stirring the hot air with the fan.
