従来、使用済み紙おむつをビニールとそれ以外に分離する技術が特許文献1,2に開示されている。特許文献1記載の技術は、使用済み紙おむつを裁断し、これを水及び塩化カルシウムとともに分解槽に投入して攪拌し、使用済み紙おむつに含まれる吸水ポリマーを塩化カルシウムと反応させて脱水するとともにパルプ・不織布・吸収紙・屎尿を溶解して沈殿させ、分解槽の水面近傍を浮遊するビニールをスクリーンで掬い上げることで分離できるようにした、というものである。   Conventionally, techniques for separating a used paper diaper into vinyl and others are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. The technology described in Patent Document 1 cuts used paper diapers, puts them in a decomposition tank together with water and calcium chloride, and stirs them, reacts the water-absorbing polymer contained in the used paper diapers with calcium chloride, dehydrates and pulps.・ The nonwoven fabric, absorbent paper, and manure were dissolved and precipitated, and the vinyl floating near the water surface of the decomposition tank was scooped up with a screen so that it could be separated.

また、特許文献2記載の技術は、多孔を有する回転ドラムと、その回転ドラムの下部を収容する外槽と、その外槽に配管した排水管とで構成した使用済み紙おむつ分離装置であり、使用済み紙おむつと水を回転ドラムに投入し、回転ドラムの回転により攪拌して使用済み紙おむつを分離溶解し、その溶解物を回転ドラムの多孔を通過させて外槽に沈殿させ、その沈殿した溶解物を排水管で排出して不溶物であるビニールを回転ドラム内に残留させることで分離できるようにした、というものである。   Further, the technique described in Patent Document 2 is a used paper diaper separation device composed of a rotating drum having a perforation, an outer tub that accommodates a lower portion of the rotating drum, and a drain pipe piped to the outer tub. The used paper diaper and water are put into a rotating drum, and the used paper diaper is separated and dissolved by stirring by the rotation of the rotating drum. The dissolved product is allowed to pass through the porous drum and settled in the outer tank, and the precipitated dissolved product. It was made to be able to isolate | separate by discharging | emitting this by a drain pipe and making vinyl which is an insoluble matter remain in a rotating drum.

ところで、特許文献1記載の技術では、スクリーンによる掬い上げは動作が遅く、ビニールの回収に時間を要して効率が悪いものであった。また、特許文献2記載の技術では、回転ドラム内に残留したビニールは回転ドラムを停止させて作業者が手作業で取り出す必要があるから、ビニールの回収の自動化や連続処理が困難であり、多量の使用済み紙おむつの処理には向かない技術であった。   By the way, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, the operation of scooping up with a screen is slow, and it takes time to collect vinyl, which is inefficient. In the technique described in Patent Document 2, since the vinyl remaining in the rotating drum needs to be manually removed by the operator after stopping the rotating drum, it is difficult to automate the collection of vinyl or to continuously process the vinyl. This technique is not suitable for the disposal of used paper diapers.

A used paper diaper separation device according to 6), wherein a nozzle for supplying water by supplying water in a direction in which a water flow is formed is attached to the reaction tank. It exists in the used paper diaper separation apparatus of said 6) or 7).

本発明の前記1)記載の構成によれば、裁断又は破砕された使用済み紙おむつに水と脱水剤が加えられて混合され、使用済み紙おむつに含まれる吸水ポリマーが脱水剤と反応して脱水され、その脱水済みの混合物が回転ドラムに投入されて溶解し、ビニール以外の溶解物が沈殿して回転ドラム外に排出され、ビニールが回転ドラム内に残留し、その分離された回転ドラム内のビニールが吸引されて回転ドラム外に回収される。このように、特許文献1記載の技術のスクリーンによる掬い上げと比較してビニールを短時間で効率的に回収できる。また、特許文献2記載の技術のように作業者の手作業を要しないから、ビニールの回収の自動化や連続処理が容易となる。   According to the configuration described in 1) of the present invention, water and a dehydrating agent are added to and mixed with the cut or crushed used paper diaper, and the water-absorbing polymer contained in the used paper diaper is dehydrated by reacting with the dehydrating agent. The dehydrated mixture is charged into the rotating drum and melted, and melted materials other than vinyl are precipitated and discharged out of the rotating drum, and the vinyl remains in the rotating drum, and the vinyl in the separated rotating drum is separated. Is sucked and collected outside the rotating drum. As described above, vinyl can be efficiently collected in a short time as compared with scooping by the screen of the technique described in Patent Document 1. In addition, unlike the technique described in Patent Document 2, manual operation of the operator is not required, so that vinyl collection can be automated and continuous processing is facilitated.

本発明の前記2)記載の構成によれば、混合物を回転ドラム内に投入して回転させると、その回転で混合物が溶解し、ビニール以外の溶解物が回転ドラムの排水孔を通過して外槽の沈殿室に沈殿し、排出弁を開放すると、水及び沈殿室内の溶解物が排出してビニールのみが回転ドラム内に残る。排出弁を閉塞して外槽を密閉し、回転ドラムを回転させた状態で吸引手段で吸引すると、外槽とビニール回収ダクトの内部が負圧になり、回転ドラム内のビニールがビニール回収ダクトに吸い込まれて回収される。このように、特許文献1記載の技術のスクリーンによる掬い上げと比較してビニールを短時間で効率的に回収できる。また、特許文献2記載の技術のように作業者の手作業を要しないから、ビニールの回収の自動化や連続処理が容易となる。   According to the configuration of 2) of the present invention, when the mixture is put into the rotating drum and rotated, the mixture is dissolved by the rotation, and the dissolved material other than vinyl passes through the drainage hole of the rotating drum and is removed. When it settles in the settling chamber of the tank and the discharge valve is opened, the water and the dissolved matter in the settling chamber are discharged and only the vinyl remains in the rotating drum. If the suction tank is closed with the discharge valve closed and the rotating drum is rotated, suction is performed by suction means, and the inside of the outer tank and the vinyl recovery duct becomes negative pressure, and the vinyl in the rotating drum becomes the vinyl recovery duct. Inhaled and collected. As described above, vinyl can be efficiently collected in a short time as compared with scooping by the screen of the technique described in Patent Document 1. In addition, unlike the technique described in Patent Document 2, manual operation of the operator is not required, so that vinyl collection can be automated and continuous processing is facilitated.

本発明の前記3)記載の構成によれば、エアーノズルの圧縮空気が回転ドラムの排水孔を通気する際、その勢いで回転ドラムの内面に付着しているビニールが剥離し、ビニールを取り残すことなく確実に回収できる。   According to the configuration described in 3) of the present invention, when the compressed air of the air nozzle passes through the drain hole of the rotating drum, the vinyl adhering to the inner surface of the rotating drum is peeled off by that force, leaving the vinyl. It can be reliably recovered.

本発明の前記4)記載の構成によれば、循環ポンプで吸引された外槽内の水が回転ドラム内に送水され、その流れでビニールがそれ以外の溶解物と分離し易くなる。したがって、多量の水を投入したり回転ドラムを高回転させることなくビニールの分離効果を高めることができる。   According to the configuration described in 4) of the present invention, the water in the outer tub sucked by the circulation pump is fed into the rotating drum, and the vinyl easily separates from the other melts by the flow. Therefore, the vinyl separation effect can be enhanced without adding a large amount of water or rotating the rotating drum at a high speed.

本発明の前記5)記載の構成によれば、分離したビニールを回収する際、開閉ダンパーを閉塞してブロワーを作動させると、外槽と箱体とビニール回収ダクトの内部が負圧になり、回転ドラム内のビニールがビニール回収ダクトに吸い込まれて箱体内へ回収される。また、回収したビニールを乾燥する際、開閉ダンパーを開放して乾燥用ヒーターとブロワーを作動させると、ブロワーの吸引で外気が乾燥用ヒーターを通過して加熱され、その熱が箱体内へ導入されてビニールが乾燥される。このように、ビニールの回収と乾燥を1台のブロワーで行うことができ、設備の低コスト化及び省スペース化を図ることができる。   According to the configuration described in the above 5) of the present invention, when collecting separated vinyl, when the opening and closing damper is closed and the blower is operated, the inside of the outer tank, the box, and the vinyl collection duct becomes negative pressure, Vinyl in the rotating drum is sucked into the vinyl recovery duct and recovered into the box. When drying the collected vinyl, opening the open / close damper and operating the drying heater and blower causes the outside air to pass through the drying heater and be heated by the suction of the blower, and that heat is introduced into the box. The vinyl is dried. In this way, vinyl can be collected and dried with a single blower, and the cost of equipment and space saving can be reduced.

本発明の前記6)記載の構成によれば、使用済み紙おむつに含まれる吸水ポリマーが脱水剤と反応して脱水し、吸水ポリマーの膨潤が抑制されて素材の分離が容易になる。   According to the configuration described in 6) of the present invention, the water-absorbing polymer contained in the used paper diaper reacts with the dehydrating agent to dehydrate, and the swelling of the water-absorbing polymer is suppressed, so that the separation of the material is facilitated.

本発明の前記7)記載の構成によれば、攪拌装置を高回転させることなく使用済み紙おむつと水と脱水剤が効率的に攪拌され、混合及び吸水ポリマーの脱水を早めることができる。   According to the configuration described in 7) of the present invention, the used paper diaper, water, and the dehydrating agent are efficiently stirred without rotating the stirrer at a high speed, and mixing and dehydration of the water-absorbing polymer can be accelerated.

本発明の前記8)記載の構成によれば、混合物を回転ドラムへ投入する際、混合物が開閉弁に付着して投入シュートの途中が詰まりやすくなることがあるが、洗浄ノズルで開閉弁に噴水することで、付着した混合物を流し落として混合物を円滑に通過させることができる。   According to the configuration described in 8) of the present invention, when the mixture is charged into the rotating drum, the mixture may adhere to the on-off valve and the middle of the charging chute may become clogged easily. By doing so, the adhering mixture can be washed away and the mixture can be passed smoothly.

以下、本実施例の使用済み紙おむつ処理設備を用いた使用済み紙おむつAの分離とビニールVの回収について説明する。   Hereinafter, separation of the used paper diaper A and collection of the vinyl V using the used paper diaper processing facility of the present embodiment will be described.

<裁断工程>
まず、裁断装置10と待機コンベヤ11が作動する。振分けコンベヤ12は待機コンベヤ11の終端位置で待機している。使用済み紙おむつAを裁断装置10に投入すると裁断されながら右方向へ搬送され、終端口から待機コンベヤ11に排出される。使用済み紙おむつAは単品の他、ゴミ袋にまとめて収容したものが含まれる。
<Cutting process>
First, the cutting device 10 and the standby conveyor 11 are operated. The distribution conveyor 12 stands by at the end position of the standby conveyor 11. When the used paper diaper A is put into the cutting device 10, it is conveyed rightward while being cut, and is discharged from the terminal end to the standby conveyor 11. The used paper diaper A includes not only a single item but also one stored in a garbage bag.

<投入工程>
待機コンベヤ11は裁断された使用済み紙おむつAを右方向に搬送し、振分けコンベヤ12に投入する。振分けコンベヤ12に1バッチ分の量が溜まると、振分けコンベヤ12が待機中の使用済み紙おむつ分離装置20の位置に移動し、その反応槽24に投入する。投入後、振分けコンベヤ12は待機コンベヤ11の終端位置に戻り、次の1バッチ分の使用済み紙おむつAが投入されると、他の待機中の使用済み紙おむつ分離装置20に移動して反応槽24に投入し、これを常に繰り返す。
<Input process>
The standby conveyor 11 conveys the cut used paper diaper A in the right direction and puts it into the sorting conveyor 12. When an amount for one batch is accumulated on the sorting conveyor 12, the sorting conveyor 12 moves to the position of the used disposable diaper separating device 20 and puts it into the reaction tank 24. After the charging, the sorting conveyor 12 returns to the end position of the standby conveyor 11, and when the next batch of used paper diaper A is input, it moves to another standby paper diaper separation device 20 that is on standby, and the reaction tank 24 This is always repeated.

<混合・反応工程>
使用済み紙おむつ分離装置20では、反応槽24に水Wと塩化カルシウムCが供給され、攪拌装置24aが作動する。開閉弁24fは閉塞している。水Wはノズル24cから噴射して攪拌装置24aの回転方向と同一方向の水流が形成され、効率的に攪拌される。水位検知機24bが槽内の所定水位を検知すると水Wと塩化カルシウムCの供給が停止し、その後およそ6分間攪拌される。この工程で使用済み紙おむつAに含まれる吸水ポリマーが塩化カルシウムCと反応して脱水し、吸水ポリマーの膨潤が抑制されて素材の分離が容易になる。
<Mixing / reaction process>
In the used paper diaper separation device 20, water W and calcium chloride C are supplied to the reaction tank 24, and the stirring device 24a operates. The on-off valve 24f is closed. The water W is ejected from the nozzle 24c to form a water flow in the same direction as the rotation direction of the stirring device 24a, and is efficiently stirred. When the water level detector 24b detects a predetermined water level in the tank, the supply of water W and calcium chloride C is stopped and then stirred for about 6 minutes. In this step, the water-absorbing polymer contained in the used paper diaper A reacts with calcium chloride C to dehydrate, and the swelling of the water-absorbing polymer is suppressed, so that the material can be easily separated.

混合及び吸水ポリマーの脱水が完了すると、攪拌装置24aが停止して開閉弁24fが開放し、反応槽24内の混合物Bが投入路24d及び投入シュート24eを通じて回転ドラム23内に移送される。このとき、開閉弁24fに混合物Bが付着して詰まりやすくなることがあるが、洗浄ノズル24gで開閉弁24fに連続的又は間欠的に噴水することで、付着した混合物Bを流し落として混合物Bの通過を円滑にする。回転ドラム23の1/3ほどが浸漬するの水位(水面がビニール回収ダクト34の直下位置となる水位)に混合物Bが溜まると開閉弁24fが閉塞し、次の1バッチ分の使用済み紙おむつAが投入されると、混合及び脱水して回転ドラム23へ移送し、これを常に繰り返す。   When mixing and dehydration of the water-absorbing polymer are completed, the stirring device 24a is stopped, the on-off valve 24f is opened, and the mixture B in the reaction tank 24 is transferred into the rotary drum 23 through the charging path 24d and the charging chute 24e. At this time, the mixture B may easily adhere to the on-off valve 24f and become clogged. However, by continuously or intermittently spraying the on-off valve 24f with the cleaning nozzle 24g, the adhering mixture B is washed away and mixed B Smooth the passage. When the mixture B accumulates at a water level where about 1/3 of the rotating drum 23 is immersed (water level where the water surface is directly below the vinyl recovery duct 34), the on-off valve 24f is closed, and the next used batch of disposable diapers A Is added, mixed and dehydrated, transferred to the rotating drum 23, and this is always repeated.

<溶解・分離工程>
開閉弁24fが閉塞すると、回転ドラム23が回転するとともに循環ポンプ29が作動する。回転ドラム23はおよそ20rpmほどの回転数で正転・停止・逆転を繰り返して混合物Bを溶解し、その溶解物Baが回転ドラム23の排水孔を通過して沈殿室22aに沈殿し、不溶のビニールV(ゴミ袋のビニールを含む)は排水孔を通過せずに回転ドラム23内に残留する。循環ポンプ29で吸引された外槽22内の水Wは回転ドラム23内に送水され、その流れと攪拌羽根23aでビニールVがそれ以外の溶解物Baと分離し易くなり、多量の水Wを投入したり回転ドラム23を高回転させることなくビニールVの分離効果が高まる。
<Dissolution / separation process>
When the on-off valve 24f is closed, the rotary drum 23 rotates and the circulation pump 29 is activated. The rotating drum 23 repeats normal rotation, stop, and reverse rotation at a rotational speed of about 20 rpm to dissolve the mixture B, and the dissolved product Ba passes through the drainage hole of the rotating drum 23 and settles in the sedimentation chamber 22a. Vinyl V (including vinyl in the garbage bag) remains in the rotating drum 23 without passing through the drain hole. The water W in the outer tub 22 sucked by the circulation pump 29 is fed into the rotary drum 23, and the flow and the stirring blade 23a make it easy for the vinyl V to separate from the other melt Ba, and a large amount of water W is removed. The separation effect of the vinyl V is increased without throwing in or rotating the rotary drum 23 at a high speed.

回転ドラム23内の溶解物Baが沈殿室22aに全量沈殿すると、回転ドラム23と循環ポンプ29が停止して排出弁22bが開放し、水W及び溶解物Baが排出されて排水処理設備(図示せず)へ搬送される。溶解物Ba中の純度の高い上質のパルプ成分は紙おむつや紙製品のパルプとして再利用され、吸水ポリマーや不純物を含む低質のパルプ成分はコンポスト(堆肥)等に利用される。屎尿は微生物で分解して濃縮し、脱水固形化して炭化処理される。   When the entire amount of the melt Ba in the rotary drum 23 settles in the settling chamber 22a, the rotary drum 23 and the circulation pump 29 are stopped, the discharge valve 22b is opened, the water W and the melt Ba are discharged, and the wastewater treatment facility (see FIG. (Not shown). The high-quality pulp component with high purity in the melt Ba is reused as pulp for paper diapers and paper products, and the low-quality pulp component containing water-absorbing polymer and impurities is used for compost (compost). Manure is decomposed and concentrated by microorganisms, dehydrated and solidified and carbonized.

<回収・乾燥工程>
水W及び溶解物Baが全量排出されると、排出弁22bとビニール乾燥装置30の開閉ダンパー36が閉塞して回転ドラム23とブロワー37が作動する。このブロワー37で外槽22とビニール乾燥装置30の箱体32とビニール回収ダクト34の内部が負圧になり、回転ドラム23内のビニールVがビニール回収ダクト34に勢い良く吸い込まれてビニール乾燥装置30へ回収される。同時にエアーノズル27から圧縮空気が回転ドラム23の外周面に吹き付けられ、その圧縮空気が回転ドラム23の排水孔を通気する際の勢いで回転ドラム23の内面に付着しているビニールVが剥離し、確実に回収される。このように、本実施例によれば、分離後のビニールVを迅速に自動回収できる。ビニールVが全量回収されると回転ドラム23が停止し、次の混合物Bが移送されると回転ドラム23が回転して溶解・分離し、これを常に繰り返す。
<Recovery and drying process>
When all of the water W and the dissolved product Ba are discharged, the discharge valve 22b and the opening / closing damper 36 of the vinyl drying device 30 are closed, and the rotating drum 23 and the blower 37 are operated. With this blower 37, the inside of the outer tub 22, the box 32 of the vinyl drying device 30 and the inside of the vinyl recovery duct 34 become negative pressure, and the vinyl V in the rotary drum 23 is sucked into the vinyl recovery duct 34 vigorously. 30. At the same time, compressed air is blown from the air nozzle 27 to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum 23, and the vinyl V adhering to the inner surface of the rotating drum 23 is peeled off due to the force of the compressed air flowing through the drain hole of the rotating drum 23. , Reliably recovered. Thus, according to the present Example, the vinyl V after separation can be quickly and automatically collected. When the entire amount of vinyl V is recovered, the rotating drum 23 stops, and when the next mixture B is transferred, the rotating drum 23 rotates to dissolve and separate, and this is always repeated.

ビニール乾燥装置30では開閉ダンパー36が開放し、乾燥用ヒーター35とリント回収装置39が作動するとともに乾燥ドラム33が回転する(ブロワー37は作動のまま)。ブロワー37の吸引で外気が乾燥用ヒーター35を通過して加熱され、その熱が箱体32内へ導入される。乾燥ドラム33内のビニールVはその回転により解れて分散し、通気孔を通過した熱風で残水率が20%以下になるまで乾燥される。熱風は排気ダクト39aを通じてリント回収装置39へ排気される。   In the vinyl drying device 30, the open / close damper 36 is opened, the drying heater 35 and the lint collecting device 39 are operated, and the drying drum 33 is rotated (the blower 37 remains activated). The outside air is heated by passing through the drying heater 35 by the suction of the blower 37, and the heat is introduced into the box body 32. The vinyl V in the drying drum 33 is unwound and dispersed by the rotation, and is dried with hot air that has passed through the ventilation holes until the residual water ratio becomes 20% or less. The hot air is exhausted to the lint collection device 39 through the exhaust duct 39a.

ビニールVの乾燥が完了すると、乾燥ドラム33と乾燥用ヒーター35とブロワー37とリント回収装置39が停止し、傾斜用シリンダー32bが伸張して箱体32が前方へ傾斜する。搬送コンベヤ38は箱体32の扉32aの直下位置に待機している。扉32aを開放すると、乾燥ドラム33内のビニールVが搬送コンベヤ38上に排出され、プレス装置(図示せず)へ搬送されて圧縮され、ビニール製品に再利用したり燃料として利用される。ビニールVが排出されると傾斜用シリンダー32bが収縮して箱体32が元の姿勢に戻り、次の混合物Bが溶解・分離されるとビニールVを回収して乾燥し、これを常に繰り返す。   When the drying of the vinyl V is completed, the drying drum 33, the drying heater 35, the blower 37, and the lint collection device 39 are stopped, the tilting cylinder 32b is extended, and the box 32 is tilted forward. The transfer conveyor 38 stands by at a position directly below the door 32a of the box 32. When the door 32a is opened, the vinyl V in the drying drum 33 is discharged onto the transport conveyor 38, transported to a press device (not shown), compressed, and reused for vinyl products or used as fuel. When the vinyl V is discharged, the tilting cylinder 32b is contracted to return the box body 32 to its original posture. When the next mixture B is dissolved and separated, the vinyl V is recovered and dried, and this is always repeated.

このようにして、各工程が図8に示すように連続且つ並行して繰り返され、多量の使用済み紙おむつAが効率的に分離処理される。   In this way, each step is repeated continuously and in parallel as shown in FIG. 8, and a large amount of used paper diaper A is efficiently separated.

本発明の技術は、多量の使用済み紙おむつのリサイクルに有用である。   The technique of the present invention is useful for recycling a large amount of used paper diapers.
