【発明の属する技術の分野】
本発明は、印刷機のブランケット胴等のインキが付着する印刷機の構成部品の洗浄時に出る廃液を再生する装置に関し、特に帯電したインキ顔料、絶縁性の洗浄液、及び導電性の水の3成分が混在した系において、単一の装置で3成分を分離する洗浄廃液再生装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
印刷機のブランケット胴や圧胴を洗浄する場合は、石油系の洗浄液を使用するため廃液が出る。従来はこの廃液は廃棄されていたが、今日、この廃液を再処理して洗浄液を再利用する試みが出てきている。
廃液の再生方法としては、種々の方式が提案されているが、高効率で再生を行うことができる点において、インキ顔料、水、洗浄液の3成分を含んだ廃液中に静電界を発生させ、インキ顔料を廃液中で電気泳動させるとともに、水を静電凝集させて、インキ顔料、水、洗浄液を分離する静電界利用方式が注目されている。
本出願人は、本発明の提案に先立ち、静電界利用方式を利用した実用性の高い廃液再生装置の構成について提案しており、それは特許文献1に開示されている。
【0003】
図4(a)(b)(c)は、特許文献1に開示された廃液再生装置における廃液の再生原理を説明するための模式図である。この廃液再生装置では、図4(a)に示すように、容器45内に金属電極板30a、30bが略水平に配設されている。金属電極板30aは、液体を流通可能な構造(例えば金網状)になっている。
容器45内は下側の金属電極板30aによって廃液タンク(第1室)80と再生タンク(第2室)75とに区画され、更に廃液タンク80の下部には、金属電極板30aから離隔して、水を貯留する水回収用水槽(第3室)90が設けられている。水回収用水槽90内にはアース8が接続され、金属電極板30a、30bにはそれぞれ別々の電圧(但し、金属電極板30a<金属電極板30b)が印加される。
【0004】
初期状態では図4(a)に示すように、きれいな水9と洗浄液62とが容器45内に注入され、比重の重い水9は水回収用水槽90に沈殿し、廃液タンク80及び再生タンク75には比重の軽い洗浄液62が溜まった状態になっている。
この状態で図4(b)に示すように廃液11を廃液タンク80内に供給すると、廃液11中に混在する水9、インキ顔料88、洗浄液62はそれぞれ廃液タンク80内を拡散していく。
【0005】
ここで、金属電極板30a、30bに高電圧を印加すると、水9は導電性であるのに対し、洗浄液62は絶縁性であることから、アース電極8に接続された水回収用水槽90内の水9自体がアースとなり、金属電極板(30a、30b)と水回収用水槽90内の水9との間には電界が発生する。これによって、洗浄液62中のインキ顔料88の電気泳動と水9の静電凝集とが始まり、水9およびインキ顔料88は夫々別々に移動し分離してゆく。
【0006】
電界中での電気泳動が進む(即ち、電界を発生させている状態を長く続ける)に従って、水9とインキ顔料88と洗浄液62とは完全に分離し、図5(c)に示すように、水9は一群に凝集して、重力により水回収用水槽90のほうへ沈降していく。
また、+電荷のインキ顔料88は、−極である水回収用水槽90内の水9に引きつけられ、水9の界面付近に凝集する。これにより洗浄液62のみが金属電極板(30a、30b)を通り、再生タンク75に貯留される。そして廃液タンク80内に供給された廃液11の分だけ再生タンク75の液面位置は上昇し、再生タンク75から溢れたきれいな洗浄液62が再生液タンク70に回収される。
【0007】
この廃液再生装置では、金属電極板(30a、30b)は洗浄液62を流通可能に構成されている為、電圧を印加していない状態では、洗浄液62に混じったインキ顔料88も金属電極板を通過することができる。しかしながら、電圧を印加することにより、金属電極板(30a、30b)は+極となるため、+電荷のインキ顔料は金属電極板を通過することが難しくなる。特に、上方の金属電極板(30b)には、下方の金属電極板(30a)よりも高い電圧を印加しているので、仮にインキ顔料88が金属電極板30bと30aとの間の電界によってインキ顔料88は金属電極板30b側に電気泳動させられ、インキ顔料88がさらに金属電極板30bも通過して再生タンク75上部に流入することは困難になる。金属電極板30a、30bはインキ顔料88が洗浄液62とともに再生タンク75内、特に再生タンク75上部に流入するのを防ぐフィルタとして機能する。
【0008】
その他に、この分離させたインキ顔料88を廃棄回収する方法として、発明者らにより種々の方式が特許文献2に提案されている。
特許文献2には、インキ顔料88の廃棄方式に関する種々の方式が提案されている。提案されている方式の概要を以下に説明する。
1)板上のアース電極板にインキ顔料を付着させ、アース電極板と一緒に容器外へ引出して廃棄する方法。
2)アース電極板に薄板を使用し、インキ顔料が付着したアース電極薄板を随時、巻き取りながら移動させて廃棄する方式。
3)アース電極板を円盤状に形成し、この円盤状のアース電極を回転させながら、容器上部の廃液が無い位置で、円盤状アース電極に付着したインキ顔料をかきとりながら廃棄する方式。
4)アース電極板をエンドレスの薄板で構成し、エンドレス状のアース電極に付着したインキ顔料を、廃液内で掻き取る方式。
5)円筒状の電極板で構成された装置構成とし、中央部に円筒状のアース電極を配置する。このアース電極を回転させながらインキ顔料を表面に付着させ、付着したインキ顔料を洗浄液内で掻き取る方式。
が提案されている。
【0009】
しかしながら、
1)電極板引出し方式ではインキ顔料と洗浄液や水を同時に排出する方式のため、連続した廃液再生ができない欠点がある。
2)掻き取り方式の場合は、洗浄液内での掻き取りのため、掻き取ったインキ顔料が洗浄液内に落下したり、掻き取り時にインキ顔料が浮遊する欠点がある。
3)薄板電極板を用いた巻き取り方式では、巻き取り装置構成が複雑であり、また電極コストが増加する欠点がある。
4)円盤状のアース電極板を回転させる方式は、アース電極の半分が容器上部にはみ出すため、漏電や感電の危険性があり、装置設置場所も制限される欠点がある。
【0010】
その他、電極板の形状を平板状としているため、全体的な装置構成が四角い構成となる。この構成は装置製作の上で溶接構造となり、装置製作コストが高くなる欠点がある。また四角い容器となるため、インキ顔料の廃棄において、容器の角部にはインキ顔料が付着しやすい欠点がある。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明はかかる従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、電気泳動によって一方の電極に廃液中のインキ顔料を付着させて除去する印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置において、廃液再生と顔料除去・廃棄とが同時連続的に行え、加えて、付着インキ顔料の除去を効果的に行って、廃液の再生効率を高め、しかも構造を単純・小型化し且つ溶接構造を極力排除して製作・設置コストを低減し、漏電・感電の危険性を防止して安全性を高めた、コンパクトで時間生産性の高い印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置及び当該装置に関連した廃液再生方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0013】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の本発明の廃液再生装置の構成・作用を要約して以下に説明すると、液再生部の装置構成を円筒状とし、これを横向き(筒を倒した状態)に配置する。円筒状の容器内に、同じく円筒状のドラム電極を配置する。このドラム電極は、外部に設けた駆動源と結び、回転可能とする。ドラム電極と同心に、半切円筒状の電極板を少なくとも1層固定配置する。
廃液は円筒状の容器の一方を隔壁で仕切り、この上部から供給する。円筒状の容器の他方には、再生された洗浄液を抜き出すための、排出孔を設ける。静電利用により廃液から分離されたインキ顔料は、回転可能な円筒状のアース電極板の内外表面に付着する。この付着インキ顔料は容器内の上部に設けたインキ顔料除去装置により容器外部に廃棄する。なおこの廃棄作業中も、廃液再生処理は継続している。
【0014】
従って本発明は、印刷機で使用したインキ顔料、水、洗浄液を含んだ廃液を導入する容器を備え、該容器内の廃液に浸漬するよう少なくとも一対の電極を設けて、電圧を印加し、電気泳動によって一方の電極に廃液中のインキ顔料を付着させて除去する印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置において、軸心がほぼ水平に設置された円筒型容器と、該容器内部に、同心状に配置された回転可能なドラム電極と、廃液が通過可能な、少なくとも一つの固定の半切円筒電極と、ドラム電極と半切円筒電極を両極として電圧を印加する直流電源と、該ドラムの非浸漬部の周面の極近傍に設けられたインキ顔料廃棄装置と、容器上部の一方側に設けられた廃液導入口と、容器底部に設けられた分離水排出口と、前記廃液導入口に遠い側の容器側端壁中央部付近に設けられた再生液取り出し口を有し、前記ドラム電極上にインキ顔料を捕捉・分離することによる廃液の再生・取り出しと、該捕捉・分離したドラム電極上のインキ顔料の廃棄と、分離水の抜き出しを同時に可能とし、
更に前記インキ顔料廃棄装置は前記ドラム電極外側及び内側周表面近傍に、非浸漬部の所定母線上ほぼ全域にわたって設けられた減圧吸引口を有する廃棄管、若しくは非浸漬部の所定母線上ほぼ全域にわたるドラム電極外側及び内側周表面に接するスクレーパーを備えた回収廃棄器、であることを特徴とする。これにより、洗浄廃液再生装置を運転するにあたり、系の物質移動を定常状態に保ち、連続的に運転することができる。
【0015】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、前記容器が電極の配設された廃液再生室と廃液導入口付近の廃液導入室とに下部のみで連通する隔壁で隔てられていることを特徴とする。これにより、導入される廃液と精製後の再生液とが混合せず、廃液導入、再生、再生液取り出しと、ほぼピストンフローのもとに進行し、且つ分離水が円筒容器下部に下層として分離して排出可能となる。
【0016】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、加えて、再生液取り出し口に接続された再生液受槽を有することを特徴とする。
【0017】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、前記ドラム電極と同心に配置された固定の半切円筒電極が、複数枚であり、ドラム電極に遠いほどドラム電極との電位差の大きな電圧を印加可能としたことを特徴とする。これにより分離効率を更に高めることが可能である。
【0018】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、前記ドラム電極と同心に配置された固定の半切円筒電極が、金属の金網であることを特徴とする。
【0019】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、前記ドラム電極と同心に配置された固定の半切円筒電極は、上端部が液面上に露出し絶縁処理されたことを特徴とする。これにより、高い印加電圧によるプラズマ放電で漏電するトラブルや感電の危険性を防止する。
【0020】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、前記したようにインキ顔料廃棄装置がドラム外側及び内側周表面近傍に、非浸漬部の所定母線上ほぼ全域にわたって設けられた減圧吸引口を有する廃棄管、若しくは非浸漬部の所定母線上ほぼ全域にわたるドラム外側及び内側周表面に接するスクレーパーを備えた回収廃棄器、であることを特徴とする。これにより、ドラムに堆積した顔料が廃液や再生液と再び混じることなく、しかも再生プロセスを進行させながら同時的に除去物の排除を可能とする。
【0021】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、加えて、前記廃液再生室内に再生液レベルを検出する液面計を有することを特徴とする。これは、液面を検知することにより導入、抜き出しなどの流量を制御して本プロセスを首尾よく進行させるための手段である。
【0022】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生装置は、前記回転可能なドラム電極が、回転用の回転軸を容器の一方側に方持ちで支持され、該ドラム電極と同心に配置された固定の半切円筒電極が、ドラム電極の支持側とは、反対側の容器内側の面で方持ち支持されている事を特徴とする。
【0023】
更に、本発明の他の側面である印刷機の洗浄廃液再生方法は、印刷機で使用したインキ顔料、水、洗浄液を含んだ廃液を容器内に導入し、該容器内の廃液に少なくとも一対の電極を浸漬して、電圧を印加し、電気泳動によって一方の電極に廃液中のインキ顔料を付着させて除去する印刷機の洗浄廃液再生方法において、軸心がほぼ水平に設置された円筒型容器の内部に、前記廃液を導入し、該内部に同心状に配置された回転可能な導電性のドラム電極と、
前記ドラム電極外側及び内側周表面近傍に、非浸漬部の所定母線上ほぼ全域にわたって設けられた減圧吸引口、若しくは非浸漬部の所定母線上ほぼ全域にわたるドラム電極外側及び内側周表面に接するスクレーパーを備え、
廃液が通過可能な、少なくとも一つの固定の半切円筒電極とを両極として直流電圧を印加しつつ、該廃液を接触流通させて、前記ドラム電極を回転しながらドラム電極上にインキ顔料を捕捉・分離し、再生液を取り出すとともに分離した分離水を抜き出す一方、該ドラム電極に堆積したインキ顔料を、ドラム電極の非浸漬部の周面で前記減圧吸引口若しくはスクレーパーにより除去することにより該顔料が廃液や再生液と再び混じることなく廃液の再生と、分離水の排出と、該捕捉・分離したドラム電極上のインキ顔料の廃棄を同時に可能としたことを特徴とする。
【0024】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生方法は、前記ドラム電極と同心に配置された固定の半切円筒電極を複数枚とし、ドラム電極に遠いほどドラム電極との電位差の大きな電圧を印加することを特徴とする。
【0025】
更に、本発明の印刷機の洗浄廃液再生方法は、前記ドラム電極に堆積したインキ顔料を、ドラム電極の非浸漬部の周面で除去する方法は、減圧吸引による方法若しくは掻き取りによる方法であることを特徴とする。
【0026】
以上本発明の主旨を要約したが、次に図3を参照して具体的に装置構成及び作用を説明する。なお以下は説明のための具体例の性格を帯びるので、該具体例中の特定な装置・部品の構造、寸法、配置、材質などは必ずしも本発明を限定する意図のものではない。
【0027】
図3において、(a)図は側面断面図、(b)図は(a)図のA−A断面図を示す。図示のように本発明の廃液再生装置1は、円筒状の容器となっており、更にこの容器は図示のように横置きの配置となっている。この容器2の内部は、図示左側に廃液導入室80を設けてある。この廃液導入室は絶縁体の隔壁3で容器を仕切り、更に下部は廃液が図示右側に流入できるように、下部が開放された形状となっている。81は廃液導入口に接続された廃液供給管である。
【0028】
容器2の左下部には分離された水を排出する水排出口に接続された配管と開閉弁91が設けてあり、容器2の下部90は分離された水の分離室となっている。
【0029】
ドラム電極10は図示のように円筒状となっており、一方の側を絶縁体の円盤4にて固定されている。この絶縁体の円盤4は隔壁3に接し、更に駆動軸5が取り付けてある。この駆動軸5は容器2の外部に出ており、図示しない駆動装置にて回転可能な構成となっている。5aは回転軸5のカバーである。またドラム電極10は金網(メッシュ)状の金属で加工されており、廃液が流入できる構造となっている。更にアース線8aにて外部からアースされている。
【0030】
もう一方の極として機能する半切円筒電極は容器2の図示右側に設けてある絶縁体の円盤6に固定され、図(b)に示すように、円筒を軸を通る通る水平面で切断した下半分の形状となっている。ここで当該電極は電極20aと内側の電極20bの二層構造となっており、夫々の電極の上部端に絶縁端子21a、21bを設けて漏電を防止する。またこの電極は金網(メッシュ)状の金属で加工されている。
【0031】
印加電圧は、この例では外側の電極20aよりも内側の電極20bのほうに高い電圧を印加する。印加は電極を固定している絶縁体の円盤6を介して設けてある導管77内にそれぞれの電極用の電線を配線し、夫々の電極に電源7から電圧7a、7bを印加する。
【0032】
絶縁体の円盤6には図示60で示す液面計が取り付けてある。この液面計60は図示しない配線にて同じく図示しない制御装置に結ばれ、廃液の供給、再生洗浄液や水の排出等の制御に利用される。
【0033】
容器2の図示右端には再生された洗浄液の貯蔵タンク70が設けてある。この貯蔵タンク70へは容器2内で再生された再生洗浄液が取り出し口65から溢れてタンク内に流れるようになっている。更にこのタンク70の下部にはタンク70から再生洗浄液を外部へ供給するための配管と開閉弁71が設けてある。
【0034】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して詳しく説明する。但し、この実施の形態に記載されている構成部品の寸法、材質、形状、その相対配置などは、特に特定的な記載がない限りはこの発明の範囲をそれのみに限定する趣旨ではなく、単なる説明例に過ぎない。
【0035】
(第一の実施形態)
図1に本発明の第一の実施形態を示す。この図にて廃液再生方法・工程を説明する。
まず容器2内にはきれいな洗浄液62を供給し、半切円筒電極20aには例えば8kv、20bにはそれよりも大きい10kv程度の高電圧を印加する。廃液は供給管81から廃液導入室80(廃液タンク)に供給される。供給された廃液は下部に設けてある流通孔から再生部へ流入する。
【0036】
再生部に流入した廃液には、ドラム電極10と半切円筒電極20aとの間で8kvの電位差が発生しているため、この電位差により廃液11中のインキ顔料88はドラム電極10に吸引され、水9は凝集して底部に沈降する。
この第一の電位差で分離できなかったインキ顔料88は、外側の金網状の電極20aを通過していくが、外側の電極20aと内側の電極20b間に第二の電位差2kvが発生しているため、廃液11中に残留していた一部のインキ顔料88は外側の電極20a側に凝集し、ここから更に電位差の大きいドラム電極10に凝集していく。
【0037】
その結果、インキ顔料88は全てドラム電極10に凝集・吸着され、分離水9は容器2の底部の水分離室90に沈降する。
水分離室90に貯留した分離水9は、貯留状況に応じて開閉弁91の作用により、外部へ回収される。
【0038】
一方、再生された再生液62取り出し口65から洗浄液回収タンク70に流れこみ、貯留される。その後所定の量に達したら、開閉弁71の作用にて外部へ回収される。
【0039】
図示において、ドラム電極10の内外面に+電荷で凝集・付着したインキ顔料88の状況例を示す。廃液11があり、電圧が付加された部分(図示下方)でインキ顔料88は付着する。ここでドラム電極10は回転可能な為、インキ顔料88が所定量付着したら、ドラム電極を図示しない駆動源にてインキ顔料88が付着した部分を、容器2の上部に回転移動させる。その後、インキ顔料廃棄装置51にてバキューム吸引し、外部へ廃棄する。この間も容器2の下部では廃液11の再生を行っている。
【0040】
以上の工程を繰返すことにより、連続した廃液と水の再生、回収および凝集したインキ顔料88の廃棄処理が可能となる。ここで廃液再生装置1では高電圧を印加する。また廃液や水、洗浄液、インキ顔料は電気を通しやすい。そのため装置1の構成では完全な絶縁対策、漏電対策を実施した構成にする事は当然となっている。
【0041】
(第二の実施形態)
図2に発明の第二の実施形態を示す。基本構成は図1と同一であるが、ドラム電極10に付着したインキ顔料88の廃棄装置として、掻き取り装置90を使用する例である。
図示のようにドラム電極10の内外面に掻き取りスクレーパ101、103を接触させ、スクレーパ101、103で掻き取ったインキ顔料88を回収容器102、104に回収し、外部へ廃棄する方式である。
但し、この方式に限定せず、バキューム方式とブレード掻き取り方式を併用しても良いし、これ以外の方式でも問題ない。
【0042】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明の印刷機の廃液再生装置およびインキ顔料廃棄方法によれば、市販の樹脂製等の円筒容器及び円盤の組合せで、容易に装置製作が可能なため、製作コストが大幅に削減できる。
また凝集したインキ顔料の廃棄も、廃液再生中に行える為、連続した作業が可能となり、作業の効率化が行える。
また液面計を二層の電極板の内側で、再生した洗浄液のみに接する位置に設置したため、廃液で水位計が汚れる心配はない。

[Field of the Invention]
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an apparatus for regenerating waste liquid generated during cleaning of printing press components such as a blanket cylinder of a printing press, and in particular, three components of charged ink pigment, insulating cleaning liquid, and conductive water. The present invention relates to a washing waste liquid regenerating apparatus that separates three components with a single apparatus in a system in which a mixture of substances is mixed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When cleaning the blanket cylinder or impression cylinder of a printing press, waste liquid is generated because a petroleum-based cleaning liquid is used. Conventionally, this waste liquid has been discarded, but today, an attempt has been made to reprocess the waste liquid and reuse the cleaning liquid.
Various methods have been proposed for recycling the waste liquid, but in terms of being able to perform regeneration with high efficiency, an electrostatic field is generated in the waste liquid containing the three components of ink pigment, water, and cleaning liquid, Attention has been paid to an electrostatic field utilization system in which ink pigments are electrophoresed in waste liquid and water is electrostatically aggregated to separate the ink pigment, water and cleaning liquid.
Prior to the proposal of the present invention, the present applicant has proposed a configuration of a highly practical waste liquid regenerating apparatus using an electrostatic field utilization method, which is disclosed in Patent Document 1.
[0003]
4A, 4B, and 4C are schematic diagrams for explaining the principle of waste liquid regeneration in the waste liquid regeneration apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1. FIG. In this waste liquid regenerating apparatus, as shown in FIG. 4A, metal electrode plates 30 a and 30 b are disposed substantially horizontally in a container 45. The metal electrode plate 30a has a structure (for example, a wire mesh shape) through which a liquid can flow.
The inside of the container 45 is partitioned into a waste liquid tank (first chamber) 80 and a regeneration tank (second chamber) 75 by a lower metal electrode plate 30a. Further, the lower portion of the waste liquid tank 80 is separated from the metal electrode plate 30a. Thus, a water recovery water tank (third chamber) 90 for storing water is provided. A ground 8 is connected in the water recovery tank 90, and different voltages (provided that the metal electrode plate 30a <the metal electrode plate 30b) are applied to the metal electrode plates 30a and 30b, respectively.
[0004]
In the initial state, as shown in FIG. 4A, clean water 9 and cleaning liquid 62 are injected into the container 45, and the water 9 having a high specific gravity is precipitated in the water recovery tank 90, and the waste liquid tank 80 and the regeneration tank 75. In this state, a cleaning liquid 62 having a light specific gravity is accumulated.
In this state, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the waste liquid 11 is supplied into the waste liquid tank 80, the water 9, the ink pigment 88, and the cleaning liquid 62 mixed in the waste liquid 11 diffuse in the waste liquid tank 80, respectively.
[0005]
Here, when a high voltage is applied to the metal electrode plates 30a and 30b, the water 9 is conductive while the cleaning liquid 62 is insulative, so that the inside of the water recovery water tank 90 connected to the earth electrode 8 The water 9 itself is grounded, and an electric field is generated between the metal electrode plates (30a, 30b) and the water 9 in the water recovery water tank 90. As a result, electrophoresis of the ink pigment 88 in the cleaning liquid 62 and electrostatic aggregation of the water 9 begin, and the water 9 and the ink pigment 88 move and separate separately.
[0006]
As the electrophoresis in the electric field proceeds (that is, the state in which the electric field is generated continues for a long time), the water 9, the ink pigment 88, and the cleaning liquid 62 are completely separated, and as shown in FIG. The water 9 aggregates in a group and settles toward the water recovery water tank 90 by gravity.
Further, the positively charged ink pigment 88 is attracted to the water 9 in the water recovery water tank 90 which is the negative electrode, and aggregates in the vicinity of the interface of the water 9. As a result, only the cleaning liquid 62 passes through the metal electrode plates (30a, 30b) and is stored in the regeneration tank 75. Then, the liquid level of the regeneration tank 75 rises by the amount of the waste liquid 11 supplied into the waste liquid tank 80, and the clean cleaning liquid 62 overflowing from the regeneration tank 75 is collected in the regeneration liquid tank 70.
[0007]
In this waste liquid recycling apparatus, since the metal electrode plates (30a, 30b) are configured to allow the cleaning liquid 62 to flow, the ink pigment 88 mixed in the cleaning liquid 62 also passes through the metal electrode plate when no voltage is applied. can do. However, when the voltage is applied, the metal electrode plates (30a, 30b) become a positive electrode, and it becomes difficult for a positively charged ink pigment to pass through the metal electrode plate. In particular, since a voltage higher than that of the lower metal electrode plate (30a) is applied to the upper metal electrode plate (30b), the ink pigment 88 is tempered by the electric field between the metal electrode plates 30b and 30a. The pigment 88 is electrophoresed on the metal electrode plate 30 b side, and it becomes difficult for the ink pigment 88 to pass through the metal electrode plate 30 b and flow into the upper portion of the regeneration tank 75. The metal electrode plates 30 a and 30 b function as a filter that prevents the ink pigment 88 from flowing into the regeneration tank 75, particularly the upper portion of the regeneration tank 75 together with the cleaning liquid 62.
[0008]
In addition, as a method for discarding and collecting the separated ink pigment 88, various methods have been proposed by the inventors in Patent Document 2.
Patent Document 2 proposes various methods relating to the disposal method of the ink pigment 88. The outline of the proposed method is described below.
1) A method in which an ink pigment is attached to the ground electrode plate on the plate, and is taken out of the container together with the ground electrode plate and discarded.
2) A method in which a thin plate is used as the ground electrode plate, and the ground electrode thin plate to which the ink pigment is adhered is moved and discarded as needed.
3) A method in which the earth electrode plate is formed in a disc shape, and the disc-like earth electrode is rotated and discarded while scraping the ink pigment adhering to the disc-like earth electrode at a position where there is no waste liquid at the upper part of the container.
4) The earth electrode plate is composed of an endless thin plate, and the ink pigment adhering to the endless earth electrode is scraped off in the waste liquid.
5) The device is composed of a cylindrical electrode plate, and a cylindrical ground electrode is arranged at the center. A system in which the ink pigment adheres to the surface while rotating the ground electrode, and the adhered ink pigment is scraped off in the cleaning liquid.
Has been proposed.
[0009]
However,
1) The electrode plate drawing method has a drawback that the waste liquid cannot be continuously regenerated because the ink pigment, the cleaning liquid and the water are discharged simultaneously.
2) In the case of the scraping method, there is a drawback that the ink pigment that has been scraped falls into the cleaning liquid because of scraping in the cleaning liquid, or the ink pigment floats during scraping.
3) The winding method using a thin electrode plate has a drawback that the configuration of the winding device is complicated and the electrode cost increases.
4) The method of rotating the disk-shaped earth electrode plate has a drawback that a half of the earth electrode protrudes from the upper part of the container, and thus there is a risk of electric leakage and electric shock, and the installation place of the apparatus is limited.
[0010]
In addition, since the electrode plate has a flat plate shape, the overall device configuration is a square configuration. This structure has a drawback that the manufacturing structure becomes a welded structure and the manufacturing cost of the apparatus becomes high. Moreover, since it becomes a square container, when discarding an ink pigment, there exists a fault which an ink pigment tends to adhere to the corner | angular part of a container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative arrangements, and the like of the components described in this embodiment are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention only to those unless otherwise specified. This is just an example.
[0035]
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. This figure explains the waste liquid recycling method and process.
First, a clean cleaning liquid 62 is supplied into the container 2, and a high voltage of about 10 kv, for example, is applied to the half-cut cylindrical electrode 20a, for example, 8 kv, and 20b. The waste liquid is supplied from the supply pipe 81 to the waste liquid introduction chamber 80 (waste liquid tank). The supplied waste liquid flows into the regeneration unit from the flow hole provided in the lower part.
[0036]
Since the waste liquid that has flowed into the regeneration section has a potential difference of 8 kv between the drum electrode 10 and the half-cut cylindrical electrode 20a, the ink pigment 88 in the waste liquid 11 is attracted to the drum electrode 10 by this potential difference, 9 aggregates and settles to the bottom.
The ink pigment 88 that cannot be separated by the first potential difference passes through the outer wire mesh electrode 20a, but a second potential difference 2 kv is generated between the outer electrode 20a and the inner electrode 20b. Therefore, a part of the ink pigment 88 remaining in the waste liquid 11 aggregates on the outer electrode 20a side, and further aggregates on the drum electrode 10 having a larger potential difference.
[0037]
As a result, all of the ink pigment 88 is aggregated and adsorbed on the drum electrode 10, and the separated water 9 settles in the water separation chamber 90 at the bottom of the container 2.
The separated water 9 stored in the water separation chamber 90 is recovered to the outside by the action of the on-off valve 91 according to the storage state.
[0038]
On the other hand, it flows into the cleaning liquid recovery tank 70 from the regenerated liquid 62 outlet 65 and is stored. After that, when a predetermined amount is reached, it is recovered outside by the action of the on-off valve 71.
[0039]
In the drawing, an example of the situation of the ink pigment 88 that aggregates and adheres to the inner and outer surfaces of the drum electrode 10 with a positive charge is shown. The ink pigment 88 adheres at a portion where the waste liquid 11 is present and a voltage is applied (downward in the drawing). Here, since the drum electrode 10 is rotatable, when a predetermined amount of the ink pigment 88 is adhered, the portion where the ink pigment 88 is adhered is rotated and moved to the upper portion of the container 2 by a driving source (not shown). Thereafter, vacuum suction is performed by the ink pigment disposal apparatus 51 and the exterior is discarded. During this time, the waste liquid 11 is regenerated in the lower part of the container 2.
[0040]
By repeating the above steps, it is possible to dispose of the ink pigment 88 that has been continuously regenerated, recovered, and aggregated. Here, the waste liquid regenerating apparatus 1 applies a high voltage. Waste liquids, water, cleaning liquids, and ink pigments are easy to conduct electricity. Therefore, it is natural that the configuration of the apparatus 1 has a configuration in which complete measures against insulation and leakage are taken.
[0041]
(Second embodiment)
FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention. Although the basic configuration is the same as that in FIG. 1, an example in which a scraping device 90 is used as a discarding device for the ink pigment 88 attached to the drum electrode 10.
As shown in the figure, scraping scrapers 101 and 103 are brought into contact with the inner and outer surfaces of the drum electrode 10, and the ink pigment 88 scraped off by the scrapers 101 and 103 is recovered in the recovery containers 102 and 104 and discarded to the outside.
However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and a vacuum method and a blade scraping method may be used in combination, or other methods may be used.
[0042]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the waste liquid recycling apparatus and ink pigment disposal method of the present invention, since the apparatus can be easily manufactured with a combination of a commercially available resin-made cylindrical container and a disk, the production cost is low. It can be greatly reduced.
In addition, since the agglomerated ink pigment can be discarded while the waste liquid is being regenerated, continuous work is possible and work efficiency can be improved.
In addition, since the level gauge is installed inside the two-layer electrode plate and in contact with only the regenerated cleaning liquid, there is no concern that the water level gauge will be contaminated with waste liquid.
