Description

  The present invention includes a pulper that disaggregates waste paper such as office documents to make a recycled pulp suspension, and a paper machine that makes recycled paper from the recycled pulp suspension, with a paper machine on the upstream side and a white water cover on the downstream side. A white water supply valve mechanism and a white water supply method for intermittently supplying white water discharged from the paper machine to a white water supply portion used in a waste paper recycling apparatus for document shredded waste provided with a supply portion It is.

  The present applicant has realized a new paper making dryer part that is relatively small, does not heat up, and does not have inferior drying capacity in view of the fact that document shredding is not sufficiently recycled. Each organization, such as a company, government office, union, housing complex, or local government, can recycle document shredded waste by minimizing the amount of water used and reducing the waste paper recycling process and miniaturizing and simplifying the equipment. Document shredded waste that can be recycled by incineration and landfill can be recycled as a unit, saving resources and energy, reducing waste paper recovery time and labor A used paper recycling device (Patent Document 1) has been proposed and gained popularity.

  In general, a papermaking apparatus employs an electric valve such as an electric ball valve as a valve. However, the motor-operated valve is relatively expensive and has some problems in response. On the other hand, a solenoid valve (solenoid valve) is relatively inexpensive and has an advantage of excellent response.

Patent No. 4202359

  However, in the case of the waste paper recycling apparatus for document shredded waste as shown in Patent Document 1, the nominal diameter of the pipe through which white water passes is as narrow as about 1/2 inch at the maximum. If white water is supplied by valve operation that is performed only once, the components contained in the white water (fillers such as cellulose fiber and calcium carbonate) are clogged between the valves, and the flow rate at the time of opening the valve is insufficient, or the valve There was a problem that a gap was formed at the time of closing, causing leakage.

  As a result of intensive research on the above problems, the present inventors, when supplying white water, in addition to the main valve operation, when performing a small valve operation that allows a small amount of white water to pass, The inventors have found that it is possible to eliminate the problem that the contained components are trapped and deposited, and the present invention has been completed.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a white water supply valve mechanism and a white water supply method for a novel used paper recycling apparatus for shredded documents, in which components contained in white water are not caught and accumulated.

  The white water supply valve mechanism of the present invention includes a pulper that disaggregates waste paper to make a recycled pulp suspension and a paper machine that makes recycled paper from the recycled pulp suspension, and includes a paper machine on the upstream side and white water on the downstream side. A white water supply valve mechanism for intermittently supplying white water discharged from the paper machine to a white water supply unit, which is used in a used paper recycling apparatus for document shredded waste provided with a supply unit, the paper machine And a white valve through which white water passes and a solenoid valve provided in the pipe, and a white valve operation for supplying a small amount of white water when white water passes through the solenoid valve; A main valve operation for supplying most of the white water is performed.

  The white water supply portion is a portion to which white water is supplied and is not particularly limited. Examples of the white water supply unit include a pulper (also referred to as a machine chest) that stores a pulper or a regenerated pulp suspension from the pulper. Further, white water may be supplied to the head box to clean the head box, and such a head box is also included in the concept of the white water supply unit. White water as used herein refers to white water discharged in the paper making process.

  Unlike a motorized valve, a solenoid valve cannot be stopped halfway and can only be held fully open or closed. Therefore, the valve operation when energized refers to either fully open or fully closed operation.

  There are two types of solenoid valves, a pilot type and a direct acting type. In the present invention, the direct acting type is suitable.

  As the types of the electromagnetic valves, there are an energized open type that opens the valve when energized and an energized closed type that closes the valve when energized. There is a single solenoid (single-action operation system) in which the valve automatically returns to the original state when the electric signal is cut off after the electric signal is received and the valve is activated. A spring or pressure is used to automatically return the single solenoid valve. A type that retains the state of the valve even after the electric signal is interrupted and the electric signal is cut off is called a double solenoid (return operation method). In the case of a double solenoid, it is necessary to activate the electromagnet on the opposite side in order to return the valve to its original position.

  Here, the dimension valve operation referred to in the present specification refers to a valve operation for supplying a small amount of white water, that is, a valve operation for passing it. The main valve operation referred to in this specification refers to a valve operation for supplying most of white water other than the valve operation, that is, a valve operation for passing it. In the present invention, since both the energized open type and energized closed type can be used, the valve operation may be any of the order of open state → closed state or closed state → open state. Moreover, a single solenoid valve or a double solenoid valve can be used. In the case of a double solenoid valve, when the valve is actuated in one direction of the open state or the closed state, the state is maintained, and therefore it is necessary to input an electric signal for reverse operation.

  Moreover, in this specification, when white water passes an electromagnetic valve means from the time of white water supply start to the time of white water supply stop. Further, in the present specification, each valve operation for supplying white water or each valve operation for allowing white water to pass refers to a period from the start of white water supply to the stop of white water supply by each valve operation.

  Further, it is preferable that the dimension valve operation is performed before the main valve operation. That is, when the white water supply is started, the main valve operation can be performed after the dimension valve operation is performed. In this way, the dimension valve operation acts as a preliminary valve operation for starting the white water supply, and after flowing the first reservoir accumulated in the electromagnetic valve that comes out first when the valve operation (for example, the valve is opened) The remaining white water can be made to flow by the main valve operation.

  When supplying a predetermined amount of white water as a whole, the white water supplied by the valve operation is about 0.1% to 10% of the total amount of white water to be supplied. That is, when the valve operation is performed before the main valve operation, white water of about 0.1% to 10% of the total amount is supplied and then the remaining white water (about 99.9% to 90%). Is supplied by the main valve operation.

  In the case where the valve operation is performed before the main valve operation, it is preferable that the main valve operation is started within one second from the start of the valve operation. In this way, by performing a plurality of valve operations with a click (for example, in the case of a single solenoid valve) and a plurality of switching operations in a short time, components contained in white water are trapped and deposited between the valves. The cause is eliminated.

  Furthermore, the valve operation can be performed after the main valve operation. That is, the white water supply can be stopped by performing a squeeze operation after the main valve operation. Even in such a valve operation, it is possible to eliminate the problem that the components contained in the white water are sandwiched between the valves and cause problems.

  When supplying a predetermined amount of white water as a whole, the amount of white water supplied by the valve operation is about 0.1% to 10% of the total amount. That is, when the valve operation is performed after the main valve operation, about 99.9% to 90% of white water is supplied (passed) by the main valve operation, and then 0.1% to About 10% of white water is supplied (passed).

  In the case where the valve operation is performed after the main valve operation, it is preferable that the valve operation is completed within one second from the end of the main valve operation. In this way, by performing a plurality of valve operations with a plurality of switching operations in a short time in a short time, it is possible to eliminate the problem that components contained in white water are trapped and accumulated between the valves.

  Furthermore, the dimension valve operation may be performed before the main valve operation and after the main valve operation. That is, at the start of white water supply, the main valve operation can be performed after performing the dimension valve operation, and the dimension valve operation can be performed after the main valve operation to stop the white water supply. Even in such a valve operation, it is possible to eliminate the problem that the components contained in the white water are sandwiched between the valves and cause problems.

  When supplying a predetermined amount of white water as a whole, the amount of white water supplied by the valve operation is about 0.1% to 10% of the total amount. That is, when the valve operation is performed before the main valve operation and after the main valve operation, white water of about 0.1% to 10% of the total amount is supplied and then the remaining white water (99.8% About 80%) is supplied by the main valve operation, and thereafter, white water of about 0.1% to 10% of the total amount is further supplied.

  When the dimension valve operation is performed before the main valve operation and after the main valve operation, the main valve operation is started within 1 second from the start of the dimension valve operation, and the main valve operation is completed. Therefore, it is preferable that the end of the valve operation is performed within one second. In this way, by performing a plurality of valve operations with a plurality of switching operations in a short time in a short time, it is possible to eliminate the problem that components contained in white water are trapped and accumulated between the valves.

  The waste paper recycling apparatus for document shredded waste according to the present invention is characterized by incorporating the white water supply valve mechanism.

  The white water supply method of the present invention includes a pulper that breaks out used paper to make a recycled pulp suspension, and a paper machine that makes recycled paper from the recycled pulp suspension.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the illustrated examples are shown by way of example, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention. .

  1 and 3, reference numeral 100 indicates a white water supply valve mechanism. The white water supply valve mechanism 100 includes a pulper 2 that disaggregates waste paper to make a recycled pulp suspension, and a paper machine 3 that makes recycled paper from the recycled pulp suspension, with the paper machine 3 on the upstream side and the paper machine 3 on the downstream side. A white water supply valve mechanism for intermittently supplying the white water 104 discharged from the paper machine 3 to the white water supply unit 102, which is used in the waste paper recycling apparatus 111 for document shredded waste provided with the white water supply unit 102. And a valve 106 through which white water 104 passes and an electromagnetic valve 112 provided in the pipe 106 between the paper machine 3 and the white water supply unit, and a small valve operation for supplying a small amount of white water. And a main valve operation for supplying most of the white water.

  In FIG. 3, the basic configuration of the waste paper recycling apparatus 111 for document shredded waste is the same as that of Patent Document 1, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. Reference numeral 110 denotes a pipe for supplying a pulp suspension from the first pulper 6 to the second pulper 8 (also a pulp tank), and reference numeral 108 denotes a head box 12 from the second pulper 8 (also a pulp tank). This is a pipe for supplying the pulp suspension. Reference numeral 114 denotes a white water pump for feeding white water. In the example of FIG. 3, the white water 104 is further supplied to the head box 12 to clean the head box 12.

    Next, a method of energization will be described based on FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, when white water 104 passes through the valve, a small amount of white water is supplied in addition to the main valve operation that supplies most white water by the valve operation based on the ON / OFF switching operation. It is characterized in that the valve operation is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), conventionally, for example, in the case of a solenoid valve that opens automatically when energized (turned on) and automatically returns (that is, energized open type single solenoid valve), white water is used. In order to supply to the white water supply portion, only one valve operation 116 is performed from the OFF state (valve closed state) to the ON state (valve open state).

  In the present invention, for example, in the case of a solenoid valve that opens and automatically returns when energized (turned on) (that is, an energized open type single solenoid valve), white water is supplied to the white water supply portion. In addition to the main valve operation for supplying most white water from the OFF state (valve closed state) to the ON state (valve open state), the OFF state (valve closed state) to the ON state (valve closed) Dimension valve operation to supply a small amount of white water in the open state).

  Referring to FIG. 2B, first, a valve operation 120a is performed in which a small amount of white water is supplied from an OFF state (valve closed state) to an ON state (valve open state). Then, immediately after the valve operation 120a, the main valve operation 118 is performed to supply most white water from the OFF state (valve closed state) to the ON state (valve open state). The main valve operation 118 is started within one second from the start of the valve operation 120a. When supplying a predetermined amount of white water, the white water to be supplied by the valve operation 120a is about 0.1% to 10% of the total amount of white water to be supplied.

  In this way, when the white water passes through the solenoid valve, the dimension valve operation for supplying a small amount of white water and the main valve operation for supplying most of the white water perform the components contained in the white water between the valves. It eliminates the problem of pinching and accumulation.

  FIG. 3 shows a waste paper recycling apparatus 111 for shredded documents incorporating the white water supply valve mechanism 100 of the present invention. In FIG. 3, a waste paper recycling apparatus 111 for document shredded waste disassembles the waste paper (document shredded waste) P to make a recycled pulp suspension, and papermaking for making recycled paper from the recycled pulp suspension. This is a waste paper recycling apparatus for shredded documents including a machine 3 and provided with a paper machine 3 on the upstream side and a white water supply unit 102 such as a pulper 2 and a head box 12 on the downstream side. Since the basic configuration of the waste paper recycling apparatus 111 for shredded document is the same as that of Patent Document 1, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  It includes a pulper that breaks up used paper to make recycled pulp suspension, and a paper machine that makes recycled paper from the recycled pulp suspension, with a paper machine on the upstream side, a pulper on the downstream side, a pulp tank and a stock inlet section Of course, it is only necessary to use a waste paper recycling apparatus for shredded paper provided with a white water supply unit 102. Thus, it is of course possible to adopt a configuration other than the configuration shown in FIG.

  The present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the following examples. However, it is needless to say that these examples are shown by way of illustration and should not be construed in a limited manner.

Example 1
Document shredded waste P was introduced into the waste paper recycling apparatus 111 for document shredded waste shown in FIG. 3, and white water 104 was obtained through a paper making process. The white water 104 was supplied to the white water supply unit 102. As the pipe 106, a vinyl chloride hose (inner diameter 15 mm) having a nominal diameter of 1/2 inch was used. As the solenoid valve 112, a single solenoid valve energized open type was used.

  When 2 to 10 L of white water 104 passes through the solenoid valve 112 of a single solenoid valve, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the dimension valve operation 120a that allows a small amount of white water to pass through and the main white water that passes most of the remaining white water. The valve operation 118 was performed, and after the main valve operation 118, the valve operation 120b was performed to stop the white water supply (n = 2). Here, n indicates the number of times of the valve operation. In this embodiment, the valve operations 120a and 120b for turning on only for 0.1 second are performed for water supply of several seconds to about 1 minute. A small amount of white water that was passed through the valve operations 120a and 120b was about 0.2% to 5% of the total amount of white water supplied.

  The start of the main valve operation 118 from the start of the valve operation 120a is within 1 second, the valve is opened for 30 seconds by the main valve operation 118, and the end of the valve operation 120b from the end of the main valve operation 118 is also within 1 second. .

  It was operated for more than a month at a pace of making 10 paper rolls per day. As shown in FIG. 5, the valve could be used without causing a valve clogging problem even after one month or more.

(Example 2)
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the 2 to 10 L of white water 104 passes through the open solenoid valve 112 with a single solenoid valve, the same valve as the valve operation 120a for passing a small amount of white water again. The operation 120c was performed, the main valve operation 118 for allowing most of the remaining white water to pass through was performed, and the white valve supply was stopped after the main valve operation 118 (n = 3). In this embodiment, the valve operations 120a, 120b, and 120c for turning on only for 0.1 second with respect to water supply of several seconds to 1 minute are performed. The small amount of white water that was passed through the valve operations 120a, 120b, and 120c was about 0.2% to 5% of the total amount of white water supplied. The start of the main valve operation 118 from the start of the valve operation 120a is within 1 second, the valve is opened for 30 seconds by the main valve operation 118, and the end of the valve operation 120b from the end of the main valve operation 118 is also within 1 second. .

  Others were operated under the same conditions as in Example 1 described above. As shown in FIG. 5, the valve could be used without causing a valve clogging problem even after one month or more.

(Example 3)
When the 2 to 10 L of white water 104 passes through the energization open solenoid valve 112 with a single solenoid valve, the energizing operation shown in FIG. The main valve operation 118 for passing white water through was performed to stop supply (n = 1). In this embodiment, the valve operation 120a for turning on for 0.1 second is performed for water supply of several seconds to 1 minute. The small amount of white water that was passed through the valve operation 120a was about 0.2% to 5% of the total amount of white water supplied. The start of the main valve operation 118 from the start of the valve operation 120a was within 1 second, and the supply was stopped by opening the valve for 30 seconds in the main valve operation 118. Others were operated under the same conditions as in Example 1 described above. Even after a month or more, the valve could be used without causing any clogging problems.

Example 4
When 2 to 10 liters of white water 104 passes through the energized open solenoid valve 112 with a single solenoid valve, the main valve operation 118 for passing most of the white water first is performed, and the main valve operation 118 is followed by the valve operation 120b. To stop the white water supply (n = 1). In this embodiment, the valve operation 120b for turning on for 0.1 second is performed for water supply of several seconds to 1 minute. The small amount of white water that was passed through the valve operation 120b was about 0.2% to 5% of the total amount of white water supplied. The valve was opened for 30 seconds by the main valve operation 118, and the end of the dimension valve operation 120b from the end of the main valve operation 118 was also within one second. Others were operated under the same conditions as in Example 1 described above. Even after a month or more, the valve could be used without causing any clogging problems. Even after a month or more, the valve could be used without causing any clogging problems.

(Comparative Example 1)
When 2 to 10 L of white water 104 passed through the open solenoid valve 112 with a single solenoid valve, normal valve operation 116 was performed as shown in FIG. Others were operated under the same conditions as in Example 1 described above. As shown in FIG. 5, the valve was clogged from about one month later, and a malfunction occurred in the valve operation.

  From the above, it can be seen that if white valve operation is performed to supply a small amount of white water when it passes through the solenoid valve, the components contained in the white water get stuck between the valves and cause problems. It was.
