  Here, a part of the processing object S may be blown to the first end wall 14 side by the superheated steam or flame air current blown into the first rotating chamber 15 from the connection pipe 34. Since the processed object S is received by the bowl-shaped reflecting member 19, it is possible to prevent the processed object S from flowing out to the second rotating chamber 16 through the vent hole 14 </ b> A of the first terminal wall 14. it can.

  By the way, when the rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10 is stopped, the first terminal opening 24 of the transfer duct 23 is buried in the processing object S accumulated in the lower part of the first rotation chamber 15. The start end opening 25 is positioned higher than the first end opening 24. Accordingly, the processing object S in the first rotation chamber 15 does not move to the second rotation chamber 16 through the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R) in a state where the rotation of the cylindrical rotating container 10 is stopped. .

  Further, in the normal rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10, the processing object S is moved in the transfer duct 23 (transfer) because the second start end opening 25 of the transfer duct 23 rotates so as to precede the first end opening 24. It is impossible to move the path 23R) from the first end opening 24 toward the second start end opening 25. Specifically, when the first terminal opening 24 enters the processing object S accumulated in the lower part of the first rotating chamber 15, the processing object enters the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23 </ b> R) from the first terminal opening 24. Although the object S enters temporarily, if the 1st termination | terminus opening 24 moves upwards with a normal rotation, the process target S will be discharged from the 1st termination | terminus opening 24. FIG. And since the part facing the 1st termination | terminus opening 24 in the 2nd duct structure wall 23B inclines (refer FIG. 6), all the process target S can be discharged. As described above, while the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward, the processing object S in the first rotating chamber 15 is transferred to the second rotating chamber 16 through the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R). The processing object S can be retained in the first rotation chamber 15.

  Now, when taking out the processing target S processed in the 1st rotation chamber 15 from the cylindrical rotation container 10, the cylindrical rotation container 10 is reversely rotated. When the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction, the first spiral guide 17 propels the processing target S accumulated in the lower portion of the first rotating chamber 15 from the first start end wall 12 side to the first end wall 14 side. .

  The processing object S enters the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R) by the first terminal opening 24 diving in the process object S accumulated in the first rotation chamber 15. Specifically, since the first spiral guide 17 is connected to the rear edge of the first terminal opening 24 in the reverse rotation direction, the processing object S propelled by the first spiral guide 17 is moved to the first terminal opening 24. Is pushed into the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R). The processing object S that has entered the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R) moves in the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R) toward the second starting end opening 25 along with the reverse rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10. Eventually, it is discharged into the second rotation chamber 16. That is, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction, the processing object S in the first rotating chamber 15 is transferred to the second rotating chamber 16.

  Further, the processing object S transferred to the second rotation chamber 16 is propelled from the first end wall 14 side to the end port 13 of the second rotation chamber 16 by the second spiral guide 18 provided in the second rotation chamber 16. Is done. Then, the processing object S falls from the terminal end 13 of the second rotation chamber 16 to the outside of the second rotation chamber 16 and is discharged from the discharge port 32 </ b> C of the fixed lid 32.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the forward direction with the processing object S being accommodated in the first rotating chamber 15, the second starting end opening in the transfer path 23R. Since 25 rotates before the first terminal opening 24, the processing object S is transferred to the transfer path 23R even if the first terminal opening 24 passes through the processing object S accumulated in the lower part of the first rotating chamber 15. It is not transferred to the second rotation chamber 16 through the second rotation chamber 16. On the other hand, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction, the first terminal opening 24 rotates in the transfer path 23R in advance of the second starting terminal opening 25, so that the first terminal opening 24 performs the first rotation. The processing object S that has entered the transfer path 23R when passing through the processing object accumulated in the lower part of the chamber 15 moves toward the second starting end opening 25 as the cylindrical rotating container 10 rotates backward. Then, it is transferred to the second rotation chamber 16.

  That is, while the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward, the processing object S can be retained in the first rotating chamber 15 to perform processing such as heat treatment, and the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction. Thus, since the processing object S can be discharged from the first rotation chamber 15, the processing object S can be taken out by a mechanical operation, and can be performed more easily than before.

  Here, the container rotation apparatus 10 of this embodiment can be used for the following uses other than stirring and mixing of the processing target S. For example, if the granular material as the processing target S is passed through a heat treatment atmosphere by superheated steam or flame, the granular material is dried, fired, carbonized, modified, granulated, or fine particles adhering to the particle surface. Incineration can be performed. Further, if the liquid as the processing object S is passed through the heat treatment atmosphere, the liquid can be concentrated, the oil is incinerated, reformed, and the chemical reaction can be performed. Further, if the granular material as the processing object S is passed through the plasma atmosphere, the particle surface can be modified (oxidation / reduction), the chemical reaction, and the fine particles adhering to the particle surface can be removed. In addition, in place of the superheated steam generator 40 and the burner 49, the fine particles may be incinerated using an electron beam irradiation device or a laser irradiation device.

  When granulation is performed by heating the granular material as the processing object S in a heat treatment atmosphere generated in the center of the cylinder, the upper surface of the lifter 20 is covered with a mesh-shaped cover 26 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which only particles that have not grown to a predetermined particle diameter pass through the mesh of the cover 26 and are picked up by the lifter 20 and put into a heat treatment atmosphere. If it does in this way, excessive enlargement of the granulated material can be prevented and the particle diameter can be made uniform. Here, in order to prevent particles (granulated material) larger than the mesh of the cover 26 from being lifted on the cover 26, it is preferable that the cover 26 has a downward slope.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, a spray nozzle 46 that generates a mist atmosphere is provided in the center of the cylinder of the first rotation chamber 15 so that the processing object S that has fallen from the lifter 20 passes through the mist atmosphere. It may be configured. In FIG. 17A, reference numeral 46A is a pipe for liquid that becomes a mist, and reference numeral 46B is a pipe for injection gas for misting the liquid. If the mist atmosphere of a binder liquid is produced | generated, the granule as the process target object S can be granulated. In addition, the granular material can be tempered with an arbitrary liquid. When granulation is performed, the mesh-shaped cover 26 (see FIG. 16) may be applied to the lifter 20.

  As shown in FIG. 18, a valve 37 may be provided in each of the exhaust port 32 </ b> B, the exhaust port 32 </ b> C, the processed product supply pipe 35, and the connection pipe 34 so that the cylindrical rotary container 10 can be sealed. According to this configuration, it is possible to carbonize and refine organic matter such as wood chips and plastics as the processing target S in a low oxygen atmosphere while performing temperature control with superheated steam or flame. Moreover, it becomes possible to perform a composition reforming gas treatment of metals, minerals, etc. in a processing gas atmosphere.

  When the heat of the burner 49 is blown into the first rotating chamber 15 and the heat treatment of the resin particles as the processing object S or the processing of the low melting point processing object S is performed with the heat, the inside of the first rotating chamber 15 The cylindrical wall 11 may be cooled from the outside so that the resin or the like does not melt and adhere. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, a cooling water storage container 50 is disposed below the cylindrical rotary container 10, and a plurality of buckets 51 are integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11. It is good also as a structure which the bucket 51 draws up the cooling water in the cooling water storage container 50 with the forward rotation of this, and hangs on the outer surface of the cylinder wall 11. In addition, it is preferable to provide draining disks 52 on both sides of the bucket 51 so as to limit the range in which the cooling water is applied and to ensure that the applied cooling water returns to the cooling water storage container 50.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 28 shows a second embodiment which is a modification of the first reference example. In the container rotating device 100 shown in FIG. 28, a falling rod 270 is inserted through the center hole 12 </ b> A of the cylindrical rotating container 10. The downfall 270 has a discharging posture inclined downward from an end disposed inside the first rotation chamber 15 toward an end disposed outside, and an outer end positioned above the inner end. It can be rotated between a discharge prohibition posture (not shown). And it is comprised so that the process target object S which fell from the lifter 20 may be received by the inner side edge part of the flow-down basket 270. FIG. Instead of rotating the drip bar 270 between the discharge posture and the discharge prohibition posture, the flow bar 270 may be moved forward and backward with respect to the center hole 12A while being in the discharge position.

[Third Embodiment]
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, only differences from the first and second embodiments and the reference example will be described, and the same portions will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. Moreover, the processing target S in the following description is a granular material.

  As shown in FIG. 29, one or a plurality of spray nozzles 46 are inserted into the connection pipe 34. The spray nozzle 46 generates a mist atmosphere of the binder liquid at the center in the cylinder of the first rotation chamber 15.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the upper surface of the lifter 20 provided on the first start wall 12 is covered with a mesh-like cover 26 having a downward slope, and only relatively small particles in the middle of growth are It passes through the mesh of the cover 26 and is scooped up by the lifter 20 and put into a mist atmosphere.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the second rotating chamber 16 includes a truncated cone-shaped trommel 65 whose diameter increases from the first end wall 14 toward the end port 13 of the second rotating chamber 16 (in claim 25 of the present invention). (Corresponding to the “center cone”). The trommel 65 has a mesh structure and allows only particles smaller than the mesh size of the mesh to pass therethrough. The end portion on the small diameter side of the trommel 65 is fixed to the first end wall 14 and rotates integrally with the cylindrical rotary container 10. Further, the large-diameter side end portion of the trommel 65 protrudes from the terminal end 13 of the cylindrical rotary container 10, and the opening at the large-diameter side end portion allows the processing object S that has not passed through the mesh to be second. A large discharge opening 65 </ b> A for discharging outside the rotating chamber 16 is formed. Here, if the slit structure of the trommel 65 is extended in the axial direction or the circumferential direction, clogging that is likely to occur when the mesh structure is used is suppressed, or the near-spherical processing object S passes through the rolling movement. Classifying performance can be further improved.

  In addition to the transfer duct 23 communicating between the first rotating chamber 15 and the second rotating chamber 16, the first end wall 14 is connected to the sub-transfer duct 67 communicating between the first rotating chamber 15 and the inside of the trommel 65. Is provided. As shown in FIG. 30A, the sub transfer duct 67 is provided on the surface of the first end wall 14 on the second rotating chamber 16 side. As shown in FIG. 30B, the sub-transfer duct 67 is bent outwardly from the center of the first end wall 14 toward the outer side in the radial direction, and bent to the front side in the positive rotation direction X1. A sub-transfer path 67R extending in an arc shape along the outer edge (inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11), and provided at the tip of the arc-shaped portion of the sub-transfer path 67R, penetrates the first end wall 14 and A first terminal sub-opening 68 opened in the one rotation chamber 15 and a first end sub-opening 68 provided at an end of the sub-transfer path 67R opposite to the first terminal sub-opening 68 and communicating with a small-diameter side end of the trommel 65 2 starting end sub-openings 69.

  Then, as shown in the change from FIG. 31A to FIG. 31E, when the first terminal sub-opening 68 is submerged in the processing object S accumulated in the lower portion of the first rotating chamber 15, The processing object S that has entered the sub-transfer path 67R from the first terminal sub-opening 68 moves in the sub-transfer path 67R along with the normal rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10, and the trommel 65 from the second start-end sub-opening 69. Sent in.

  The configuration of the present embodiment is as described above. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When the mist of the binder liquid is ejected from the spray nozzle 46 while rotating the cylindrical rotating container 10 in the forward direction, the processing object S scooped up by the lifter 20 passes through the mist atmosphere of the binder liquid, and the processing object Fine particles of the binder liquid adhere to the S particles. Further, the processing object S accumulated in the lower portion of the first rotation chamber 15 is agitated by the first spiral guide 17 and the first sub-spiral guide 27. As a result, the particles of the processing object S adhere to each other and grow gradually. Here, the lifter 20 scoops up only particles that have not grown to a predetermined particle size and supplies them to the mist atmosphere. In other words, by preventing the binder liquid from being applied to the granulated product that has grown to a predetermined particle size or more, excessive enlargement of the granulated product can be prevented and the particle size can be made uniform.

  Although the processing object S does not move from the first rotating chamber 15 to the second rotating chamber 16 through the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R) during the forward rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10, the sub-transfer duct 67 ( The processing object S is fed from the first rotation chamber 15 to the trommel 65 through the sub-transfer path 67R). The processing object S fed to the trommel 65 rolls in the trommel 65 from the small diameter side end portion to the large diameter side end portion. At this time, particles that have not reached the predetermined particle diameter pass through the mesh of the trommel 65 and fall into the second rotation chamber 16. On the other hand, the particles (granulated material) grown to a predetermined particle size or more reach the discharge large opening 65A without passing through the mesh of the trommel 65, spill from the large discharge opening 65A, and enter the outside of the second rotation chamber 16. Discharged.

  The processing object S that has passed through the mesh of the trommel 65 and dropped into the second rotation chamber 16 is propelled to the first end wall 14 side by the second spiral guide 18 of the second rotation chamber 16, and the second start end opening. 25 enters the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R). The processing object S that has entered the transfer duct 23 moves toward the first terminal opening 24 along with the normal rotation of the cylindrical rotating container 10 and is returned to the first rotating chamber 15. That is, only particles that have grown to a predetermined particle size or more are discharged to the outside of the cylindrical rotating container 10, and particles that are not growing before the predetermined particle diameter are discharged from the cylindrical rotating container 10 without being discharged. Returned to the one-turn chamber 15.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, granulation of the processing object S and sieving (classification) by particle size can be performed simultaneously, and particles grown to a predetermined particle size or more can be obtained at any time. Since it can be excluded from the first rotating chamber 15, a granulated product having a uniform particle size can be produced.

32 and 33 show a modification of the present embodiment. A container rotating device 100 shown in FIG. 32 has a supply pipe 36P extending through the second end wall 32A, and a screw 36S inserted into the supply pipe 36P is rotationally driven by a motor 36M, thereby supplying the supply pipe 36P. The feeder 36 which supplies the process target object S into the 2nd rotation chamber 16 from 36P is provided. When the processing object S is supplied from the feeder 36 to the second rotation chamber 16 with the cylindrical rotating container 10 rotated forward, the processing object S is moved toward the first end wall 14 by the second spiral guide 18. It is propelled and enters the transfer duct 23 from the second starting end opening 25. The processing object S that has entered the transfer duct 23 moves toward the first terminal opening 24 by the normal rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10 and is supplied to the first rotating chamber 15. With such a configuration, while performing granulation in the first rotating chamber 15, the processing object S as a raw material can be supplied to the first rotating chamber 15, and the granulated product is continuously manufactured. Can do.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 33, the tip of the second spiral guide 18 provided in the second rotation chamber 16 is connected to one side of the second start opening 25 of the transfer duct 23 (second duct constituting wall 23B). , When the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward, the processing target S in the second rotating chamber 16 can be pushed toward the second starting end opening 25 by the second spiral guide 18, Supply of the processing object S to the 1st rotation chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23 can be performed more smoothly.

[Fourth Embodiment]
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. In the following description, only differences from the first to third embodiments and the reference example will be described, and the same portions will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

A blower built-in type burner 49 is connected to the connection pipe 34 connected to the tip of the cylindrical rotary container 10, and a feeder 36 is connected to the processed product supply pipe 35 branched from the connection pipe 34. .

And cooled and solidified. The cooled and solidified resin particles are fed to the trommel 65 by the normal rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10. Only those having a predetermined particle diameter or larger are discharged from the large opening 65A of the trommel 65 to the outside of the second rotating chamber 16, and those having a smaller particle diameter are the second spiral guide 18 of the second rotating chamber 16. And the transfer duct 23 return to the first rotating chamber 15. The container rotation processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can be used as, for example, a medical waste or industrial waste melting processing apparatus.

Here, the cooling water supply pipe 70 is inserted into the second rotation chamber 16, and the cooling water W supplied from the cooling water supply pipe 70 is supplied to the second spiral guide 18 of the second rotation chamber 16 and the second rotation guide 16. It is possible to store between the one end wall 14. Then, the cooling water W supplied to the second rotation chamber 16 is fed to the first end wall 14 side by the second spiral guide 18 by rotating the cylindrical rotary container 10 in the forward direction, and from the second start end opening 25. It enters the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R). The cooling water W that has entered the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R) moves in the transfer duct 23 (transfer path 23R) to the first terminal opening 24 by the normal rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10 and performs the first rotation. It is supplied to the chamber 15. Further, the excessively supplied cooling water W overflows from the vent hole 14 </ b> A formed in the first end wall 14 and is returned to the second rotation chamber 16.

Here, the cooling water W in the first rotating chamber 15 is reduced by evaporating or being taken out of the cylindrical rotating container 10 together with the resin particles. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 35A and 35B, a constant water level valve such as a ball tap 90 may be provided at the tip of the cooling water supply pipe 70. The ball tap 90 is opened when the position of the floating ball 91 is located below the reference position, and the cooling water W is supplied from the cooling water supply pipe 70, while the floating ball 91 is positioned above the reference position. Then, the supply of the cooling water W from the cooling water supply pipe 70 is stopped. Here, when the floating ball 91 comes into contact with the second spiral guide 18, the ball tap 90 does not operate correctly. Therefore, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 of the second spiral guide 18 rotates, the ball tap 90 is moved below the floating ball 91. It is preferable that the passing portion has a small amount of protrusion from the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11 (see FIG. 36).

  Specifically, for example, the second spiral guide 18 is swung around the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical rotating container 10 two or more turns between the terminal end 13 of the cylindrical rotating container 10 and the first terminal wall 14. The protruding amount of the portion passing below the floating ball is set to be lower than at least the lower limit water level at which the supply of the cooling water W is started, and the floating ball 91 is disposed in the lowered portion. Accordingly, the cooling water W can be stored between the second spiral guide 18 and the first end wall 14, and erroneous detection of the water level due to interference between the floating ball 91 and the second spiral guide 18 can be prevented.

Since the grinding media 236 can be discharged from the first rotating chamber 15 through the transfer duct 23, the grinding media 236 can be easily taken in and out.

[Sixth Embodiment]
A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, only differences from the first to fifth embodiments and the reference example will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the processing object S in the following description is a granular material, liquid, or gas.

  As shown in FIGS. 42A and 42B, the container rotating device 100 of the present embodiment has a straight portion extending in the axial direction of the cylindrical wall 11, and the straight portion extends over the entire circumferential direction. A plurality of gas vent passages 301 that are dispersed and arranged, a plurality of gas jet openings 302 that open to the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 11 and communicate with the gas vent passages 301, a fixing ring 312 that is fixed in a non-rotatable manner, A rotating ring 311 that is rotatably connected to the fixing ring 312 and rotates integrally with the cylindrical rotating container 10, and one end portion of a plurality of gas ventilation paths 301 between the fixing ring 312 and the rotating ring 311. Are provided with a rotary joint 310 having an annular air passage 313 communicated in common, and a gas supply pipe 314 connected to the fixed ring 312 and serving as a gas supply means for supplying gas to the annular air passage 313. That.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 42A, a plurality of gas pipes 300 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11 in parallel with each other. The inside of the gas pipe 300 is a gas ventilation path 301, and the gas ventilation path 301 and the inside of the first rotation chamber 15 communicate with each other by a slit-like gas outlet 302 opened on the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 11 ( FIG. 44 (A) and FIG. 44 (B)).

  A rotary joint 310 is provided on the first starting end wall 12 of the cylindrical rotating container 10. The rotary joint 310 includes a rotating ring 311 that is fixed to the first starting end wall 12 and rotates integrally with the cylindrical rotating container 10, and a fixing ring 312 that is rotatably connected to the rotating ring 311. An annular air passage 313 is formed between the fixing ring 312.

  Specifically, the rotating ring 311 and the fixed ring 312 are united in the axial direction of the cylindrical rotating container 10 with the sliding seal 315 interposed therebetween. As shown in FIG. 43A, an annular groove 311A that is open to the surface where the rotating ring 311 is combined with the fixing ring 312 is formed at a position near the outer edge, and a gas vent is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the annular groove 311A. One end opening of the path 301 is formed (see FIG. 43B). As shown in FIG. 43 (B), a pair of gas supply pipes 314 are provided on the fixing ring 312 so as to protrude from an unshown gas supply source connected to the gas supply pipe 314. Air is supplied to the air passage 313.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 43 (B), a narrowing protruding wall 312A protrudes from the surface of the fixed ring 312 that is joined with the rotating ring 311. The narrowing protruding wall 312A is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the annular groove 311A. It is addressed. As a result, the channel cross-sectional area of the upper half circumference of the annular air passage 313 is smaller than the channel cross-sectional area of the lower half circumference. Moreover, the dividing wall 312B protrudes from the lower end part of the combined surface with the rotating ring 311 in the fixed ring 312, and the dividing wall 312B is fitted inside the annular groove 311A. Thereby, the annular ventilation path 313 is divided at an intermediate position of the communication portion with the pair of gas supply pipes 314 and 314.

It is possible to aerate the processing object S stored in the lower part of the substrate. Here, in the annular ventilation path 313, the flow path cross-sectional area for the upper half circumference is narrower than the flow path cross-sectional area for the lower half circumference. It is possible to eject a relatively large amount of air in the portion where the air is not collected.

  Further, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward, the processing object S is biased in the forward rotating direction due to friction with the cylindrical wall 11, so that the rotating direction of the two gas supply pipes 314 is more positive than the dividing wall 312 </ b> B. By supplying air from the gas supply pipe 314 located on the front side, more air can be supplied to the processing object S.

  Similarly, when the cylindrical rotary container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction, the processing object S is biased in the reverse rotation direction due to friction with the cylindrical wall 11. By supplying air from the gas supply pipe 314 located on the front side in the direction, more air can be supplied to the processing object S.

  According to the container rotating device 100 of the present embodiment, when the processing object S is a granular material, the fluidity of the processing object S can be improved by aeration. Moreover, if aeration is performed with hot air, the processing object S can be dried. Further, when the processing object S is a liquid, air can be efficiently dissolved. Furthermore, if, for example, oxidizing gas, reducing gas, or other reactive gas is supplied instead of air, chemical treatment with these gases can be performed.

Then, the adsorption of the magnet 404 and the striking plate 411 is released, and the striker 410 falls by its own weight in the guide pipe 401 and collides with the other magnetic attracting part 402 disposed substantially vertically below. Due to the impact at this time, the adhering matter adhering to the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 11 is removed.

The striker 410 that has collided with the magnetic attracting unit 402 moves to the upper end position where the pressing lever 420 waits while adsorbing the magnetic attracting unit 402. Then, when the striker 410 passes below the pressing lever 420, the pressing pin 412 comes into contact with the pressing lever 420 again to be pushed in, and the striker 410 falls in the guide pipe 401 by its own weight, and vertically below. It collides with the magnetic attracting part 402 arranged at the position. That is, every time the cylindrical rotary container 10 makes a half rotation, the striker 410 falls vertically downward in the guide pipe 401 and collides with the magnetic adsorption unit 402, and deposits adhered to the cylindrical wall 11 are wiped off. According to this reference example , the striking element 410 is held at one end of the guide pipe 401 until the guide pipe 401 becomes vertical, and when the one end of the guide pipe 401 reaches the upper end position, the striking element 410 is dropped. A relatively large impact can be applied to the tube wall 11 and the deposits can be effectively removed.

As a modification of this reference example , for example, as shown in FIG. 50, a guide pipe 401 is formed by connecting the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotary container 10 and the inner edge portion of the first spiral guide 17 or the first sub-spiral guide 27. Each time the cylindrical rotary container 10 makes one rotation, the striker 410 falls in the guide pipe 401 from the cylindrical wall 11 toward the first spiral guide 17 or the first sub-spiral guide 27, It is good also as a structure which gives an impact to the 1 helical guide 17 or the 1st sub helical guide 27. FIG.

  Although not shown, each time a pair of guide pipes 401, 401 cross each other in a cross shape and the striking pieces 410, 410 are accommodated in the guide pipes 401, 401, and the cylindrical rotary container 10 makes a quarter turn. In addition, the striking element 410 may fall in the guide pipe 401 to give an impact to the cylindrical wall 11.

In the above reference example , the striking element 410 attracted and held by the magnetic attracting part 402 is pressed by the pressing lever 420 so that the striking element 410 is vertically dropped in the guide pipe 401. The striking element 410 may be configured to freely reciprocate within the guide pipe 401 without providing the 402. In this way, the striker 410 falls obliquely inside the guide pipe 401 in an oblique state before the guide pipe 401 becomes vertical, and gives an impact to the cylindrical wall 11. In this case, the striker 410 need not be columnar, and may be spherical, for example.

[ Fifth Reference Example ]
A fifth reference example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The container rotating device 100 of the present reference example includes a scraping mechanism 400 for scraping off deposits (for example, the processing object S) attached to the inner surface of the cylindrical rotating container 10 by impact. In the following description, only the payout mechanism 400 will be described, and the same components as those in the first to seventh embodiments and the reference example will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 51 (A), the pay-off mechanism 400 has a pile-shaped hit portion 430 protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotary container 10 and a cylindrical rotation of the hit portion 430. rotation of the container 10 (e.g., rotating) and a hammer 43 1 which is capable of hitting with the.

  The hammer 431 is attached to a support base 432 erected in the first rotation chamber 15 from the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11. As shown in FIG. 51 (B), the support base 432 has a plate shape perpendicular to the cylindrical wall 11, and the hammer 431 is pivoted on a pivot shaft 433 protruding from one side surface thereof. It is supported. The hammer 431 includes a striking element 431B at the tip of an arm portion 431A that is pivotally supported by the rotation shaft 433. As shown in FIG. 51C, a pair of projecting pieces 431C and 431C having a trapezoidal shape protrude from both side surfaces of the base end portion of the arm portion 431A. Further, a stopper pin 434 protrudes from a side surface of the support base 432 from which the rotation shaft 433 protrudes. The stopper pin 434 is disposed on the distal end side of the support base 432 with respect to the rotation shaft 433 and is parallel to the rotation shaft 433. Note that a through hole 435 is formed through the base end portion of the support base 432, and the first spiral guide 17 passes through the through hole 435 (see FIG. 51B).

As shown in FIG. 51 (A), when the pay-off mechanism 400 is located at the lower end of the first rotating chamber 15, the hammer 431 causes the striker 431B to hit the hit portion 430 from the rear side in the reverse rotation direction X2. It is in a state of being in contact with. When the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse rotation direction X2 from this position, first, the striker 431B gradually moves away from the hit portion 430 (see FIG. 52A). When the pay-off mechanism 400 is at an obliquely upper position of the first rotation chamber 15 (at approximately 10 o'clock position in FIGS. 52A and 52B), one of the projecting pieces 431C comes into contact with the stopper pin 434 and the hammer. The rotation of 431 is prohibited, and the hitting element 431B and the hit part 430 are in the most separated state. When the cylindrical rotating container 10 is further rotated and the wiping mechanism 400 is in the obliquely lower position (approximately 4 o'clock position in FIGS. 52A and 52B), the hammer 431 is inverted. The striker 431B collides with the hit part 430 from the rear side in the rotation direction (reverse rotation direction X2) of the cylindrical rotary container 10 by swinging down from the state. That is, every time the cylindrical rotary container 10 makes one rotation, the hammer 431 strikes the hit portion 430 once. With this impact, the deposits attached to the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotary container 10 can be removed. In addition, although there is only one dropping mechanism 400 provided in the cylindrical rotating container 10 of this reference example , a plurality of the dropping mechanisms 400 may be provided by being shifted in the circumferential direction of the cylinder wall 11.

  As shown in FIG. 53 (A), when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the forward rotation direction X1, the hammer 431 moves in the rotational direction of the cylindrical rotating container 10 around the point where the dropping mechanism 400 reaches the upper end position. The projecting piece 431 </ b> C and the stopper pin 434 come into contact with each other at a stroke, and the striker 431 </ b> B and the hit part 430 are in the most separated state. When the cylindrical rotary container 10 further rotates, the hammer 431 (striking element 431B) and the hit part 430 gradually approach each other, and the hammer 431 and the hit part 430 immediately before the dropping mechanism 400 reaches the lower end position. Abut. That is, as in the case of rotating in the reverse rotation direction X2, a blow that swings down the hammer 431 toward the hit part 430 does not occur.

As a modification of this reference example , for example, as shown in FIG. 53 (B), the pay-off mechanism 400 is provided on the outer surface of the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotary container 10 or provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 11. The rotation range of the hammer 431 may be restricted by the cylindrical wall 11. In other words, the outer surface or the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 11 may be directly hit by the hammer 431. Here, in FIG. 53 (B), a plurality of pay-off mechanisms 400 are depicted for explaining the operation of the hammer 431, but there is only one actual pay-off mechanism 400. However, a plurality of pay-off mechanisms 400 may be provided by shifting in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical wall 11.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 54, the rotation shaft hole 431D formed in the proximal end portion of the hammer 431 has a long hole shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the arm portion 431A, and as shown in FIG. With the rotation of the rotating container 10, the hammer 431 may be configured to rotate around the rotation shaft 433 and move the arm portion 431A in the longitudinal direction.

Moreover, instead of the hit part 430 protruding in a pile shape from the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11, the first spiral guide 17 (or the first sub-spiral guide 27) is moved by the hammer 431 as shown in FIG. It is good also as composition which hits .

  Also, as shown in FIG. 56 (B), shaft-like hit portions 430 are projected in parallel with the central axis J1 from the transfer duct 23, the first end wall 14, the lifter 20, and the like, so that the hit portions 430 are formed. Further, the hammer may be struck by the hammer (not shown) rotatably supported by the transfer duct 23, the first end wall 14, the lifter 20, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 57 (A), for example, a shaft 440 protruding from the first start wall 12 or the first end wall 14 is provided at the center of the first rotating chamber 15 in the cylindrical rotating container 10. In such a case, the shaft 440 may be hit with the hammer 431. Further, the saddle-shaped reflecting member 19 applied to the first embodiment, the trommel 65 applied to the third embodiment, the outer cone 231 applied to the fourth embodiment, etc. You may make it hit | damage by 431.

[ Sixth Reference Example ]
A sixth reference example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The container rotating device 100 according to the present reference example includes particulate matter (particles of the granular material as the processing target S, dust generated during the processing, and the like contained in the exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust port 32B of the fixed lid 32. A particle recovery device 500 for recovering dust and other particles is provided. In the following description, only the particle recovery apparatus 500 will be described, and the same components as those in the first to seventh embodiments and the reference example will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Particle collection device 500 includes a centrifugal dust collector 50 1 shown in FIG. 59 (A), and a filtration dust collector 502. shown in FIG. 62 (A). Filtration dust collector 502 includes a filter unit 540,54 0 a pair stack 517 and a pair of filter units 540, 540 between the switching valve 570 of the centrifugal force dust collector 501 (see FIG. 58 (A)) Connected through.

  First, the centrifugal dust collector 501 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 59A, the centrifugal dust collector 501 has a structure in which a cylindrical discharge chute 520 hangs down from a lower end portion of a cyclone container 510 having a funnel shape. A discharge port 511 of the cyclone container 510 (hereinafter referred to as a “cyclone discharge port 511”) can be opened and closed by a first valve body 513, and a discharge port 521 of the discharge chute 520 (hereinafter referred to as a “chute discharge port 521”). The two-valve body 523 can be opened and closed. Both the first valve body 513 and the second valve body 523 have a hemispherical dome shape with an open bottom surface.

  The first valve body 513 is suspended from above the cyclone discharge port 511. Specifically, the suspension arm 514 penetrates the cylindrical wall of the cyclone container 510 in the horizontal direction, and the top portion of the first valve body 513 is connected to the lower end portion of the wire 515 suspended downward from the tip of the suspension arm 514. Has been. The length of the wire 515 is adjusted in advance by an adjusting screw 516 so that a slight gap is formed between the first valve body 513 and the opening edge of the cyclone discharge port 511 in a state where slack is eliminated. That is, normally, the particulate matter centrifuged in the cyclone container 510 flows into the discharge chute 520 through the cyclone discharge port 511 (see FIG. 59A).

  Similarly to the first valve body 513, the second valve body 523 is also suspended from above the chute discharge port 521. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 59 (B), the rotation shaft 526 penetrates the cylindrical wall of the discharge chute 520 in the horizontal direction, and the rotation shaft 526 has a tip portion disposed in the discharge chute 520. A reel 524 is fixed. The top of the second valve body 523 is connected to the lower end of the wire 525 suspended from the reel 524. A balance weight 527 is integrally provided at the base end portion of the rotation shaft 526, and the chute discharge port 521 is always formed by the urging force of the balance weight 527 (gravity applied to the balance weight 527). It is blocked by 523 (see FIG. 59A). The balance weight 527 can adjust the position of the weight 527B in the axial direction of the weight shaft 527A, and can arbitrarily adjust the urging force (ease of opening and closing the chute discharge port 521). (See FIG. 59C).

  The operation of the centrifugal dust collector 501 will be described. The exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust port 32B of the container rotating device 100 turns downward while swirling along the inner peripheral surface of the cyclone container 510. In the process, the particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas is centrifuged. . The exhaust gas becomes an ascending airflow at the center of the cyclone container 510 and is discharged from the exhaust cylinder 517 of the cyclone container 510 to a filtration dust collector 502 described later.

  On the other hand, the particulate matter centrifuged from the exhaust gas flows down the inclined surface of the cyclone container 510 and passes through a gap formed between the opening edge of the cyclone discharge port 511 and the first valve body 513, and the discharge chute 520. Flows in. Since the chute discharge port 521 is closed by the second valve body 523, the particulate matter is accumulated in the discharge chute 520.

  When the weight of the particulate matter accumulated in the discharge chute 520 exceeds the urging force of the balance weight 527, the second valve body 523 is pushed downward to open the chute discharge port 521, which is shown in FIG. Thus, the particulate matter in the discharge chute 520 is discharged. Further, the balance weight 527 comes into contact with a stopper 528 protruding from the cylindrical wall of the discharge chute 520 and stops in an inverted posture, and the gap between the opening edge of the chute discharge port 521 and the second valve body 523 is kept constant. Be drunk. In addition, when the particulate matter collect | recovered with the centrifugal dust collector 501 is the process target S, the particulate matter discharged | emitted from the chute discharge port 521 is put into the container rotation apparatus 100 (cylindrical rotation container 10). You may make it supply (refer FIG. 58 (B)). More specifically, for example, it may be supplied via the feeder 36 shown in FIG. 1 or may be directly supplied from the centrifugal dust collector 501.

  As shown in FIG. 60C, when the remaining amount of particulate matter in the discharge chute 520 decreases and the amount of particulate matter passing through the chute discharge port 521 decreases, the opening edge of the chute discharge port 521 Air flows backward into the discharge chute 520 from the gap between the second valve body 523 and the second valve body 523. Then, as shown in FIG. 60E, the first valve body 513 is pushed up by the air flowing backward from the chute discharge port 521 and the cyclone discharge port 511 is closed. Thereby, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the particulate matter is swollen in the cyclone container 510 due to the backflowed air.

  Further, when the valve body 513 is pushed up and the cyclone discharge port 511 is closed, the particulate matter does not flow into the discharge chute 520, and the whole amount of the particulate matter in the discharge chute 520 is discharged or extremely small. Then, as shown in FIG. 60D, the balance weight 527 falls down sideways at once. Then, the wire 525 is wound around the reel 524, the second valve body 523 is pulled up, and the chute discharge port 521 is closed. When the chute discharge port 521 is closed, the air that pushes up the first valve body 513 does not flow in, so the first valve body 513 is lowered by its own weight and the cyclone discharge port 511 is opened. Thereby, the particulate matter centrifuged in the cyclone container 510 starts to accumulate in the discharge chute 520 again.

  As described above, the centrifugal dust collector 501 opens and closes the first valve body 513 and the second valve body 523 intermittently without using an electric drive source, and automatically generates a substantially constant amount of particulate matter each time. Discharge.

Here, in the present reference example , the first valve body 513 is suspended by the wire 515. For example, as shown in FIG. 61 (A), the cyclone discharge port is provided from the support base 530 fixed in the discharge chute 520. A support pin 531 that rises vertically toward 511, and a pin receiving cylinder 532 that is open from the bottom of the inner surface of the first valve body 513, and a support pin 531 is inserted from the lower end of the pin receiving cylinder 532. The tip of the support pin 531 may be abutted against a bearing 533 provided at the back of the pin receiving cylinder 532. In this configuration, the first valve body 513 is lifted from the support pin 531 by the air flowing backward from the chute discharge port 521 and closes the cyclone discharge port 511. Here, the support pin 531 is screwed to the support base 530, and the protruding height from the support base 530 can be arbitrarily adjusted. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the clearance gap formed between the opening edge of the cyclone discharge port 511 and the 1st valve body 513 can be adjusted arbitrarily.

  Moreover, although the above-mentioned 1st valve body 513 was hemispherical dome shape of the open bottom surface, you may comprise flat form like the 1st valve body 535 shown to FIG. 61 (B). Specifically, the first valve body 535 is pivotally supported by a horizontal rotating shaft 537 that penetrates the side wall of the discharge chute 520 and can be turned up and down within the discharge chute 520. Usually, the first valve body 535 is disposed at the lower end position (the position indicated by a two-dot chain line) by its own weight, the cyclone discharge port 511 is opened, and air flows backward from the chute discharge port (not shown). Then, it is pushed by the air and rotates upward to close the cyclone discharge port 511. The first valve body 535 is integrally provided with a balance weight 536, and the ease of rotation of the first valve body 535 (easiness of opening and closing the cyclone discharge port 511) is weighted in the axial direction of the weight shaft 536A. It can be arbitrarily set by adjusting the position of 536B. The above is the description of the centrifugal dust collector 501.

  Next, the filtration dust collector 502 will be described with reference to FIGS. 62 and 63. As shown in FIG. 62 (A), the filtration dust collector 502 includes a pair of filter units 540 and 540, and each of these filter units 540 is fixed to the upper surface of a common storage and discharge machine 560.

  As shown in FIG. 62B, the filter unit 540 includes a cylindrical filter 553 (bag filter) inside a cylindrical case 541 extending in the vertical direction. An air supply port 542 for taking in the exhaust gas discharged from the centrifugal dust collector 501 is provided on the side surface of the cylindrical case 541. Further, the upper end of the cylindrical case 541 is connected to a suction fan 554 (see FIG. 58A), and has an exhaust port 543 for exhausting exhaust gas that has passed through the filter 553 by the suction force, and a filter 553. And backwashing means for removing particulate matter adhering to the surface. The backwashing means has an air tank 544 and an electromagnetic valve 545 for supplying compressed air to the inside of the filter 553.

  A funnel portion 546 is provided at a position near the lower end of the cylindrical case 541, and a lower end opening 546 </ b> A of the funnel portion 546 can be opened and closed by an on-off valve 547. The on-off valve 547 has a hemispherical shape and is suspended from the center of the cylindrical case 541 by a wire 548. The upper end portion of the wire 548 is provided with a valve drive unit for moving the open / close valve 547 up and down (contacting and separating with respect to the lower end opening 546A). The valve drive unit is connected to the upper end of the wire 548 and can be expanded and contracted in the vertical direction. The bellows tube 549 accommodates and holds the bellows tube 549 on the central axis of the cylindrical case 541. The bellows tube A supply / exhaust port 551 for supplying / exhausting air to / from the portion 549 is provided. When air is supplied from the air supply / exhaust port 551 to the bellows tube portion 549, the bellows tube portion 549 extends, the open / close valve 547 is lowered, and the lower end opening 546A of the funnel portion 546 is opened. On the other hand, when air is exhausted from the air supply / exhaust port 551, the bellows tube portion 549 contracts, the open / close valve 547 is pulled up, and the lower end opening 546A of the funnel portion 546 is closed.

  The storage and discharge machine 560 includes a scraper 564 that is rotatable inside the particle storage container 561. The particle storage container 561 has a cylindrical shape that is flat in the vertical direction, and a lid 566 that covers the upper surface of the particle storage container 561 communicates with the cylindrical case 541 of each filter unit 540 and the particle storage container 561 (see FIG. (Not shown) is formed through. A discharge hole 563 is formed at a position shifted from the center of the bottom wall 562 of the particle storage container 561 (see FIG. 63). The scraper 564 is rotationally driven by a motor 565 (see FIG. 62B) fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the bottom wall 562, and turns while sliding on the top surface of the bottom wall 562. As shown in FIG. 63, the scraper 564 has a “<” shape in a plan view bent toward the rear side in the rotational direction, and the bent portion of the “<” shape passes over the discharge hole 563. The scraper 564 scrapes off the particulate matter that has fallen on the upper surface of the bottom wall 562, collects it at the bent portion of “<”, and drops it from the discharge hole 563. Particulate matter discharged from the particle storage container 561 by the scraper 564 is collected in a recovery container 567 (see FIG. 58A). Here, the discharge hole 563 may be provided at an arbitrary position of the bottom wall 562 depending on the mechanism for receiving the particulate matter, and the bent portion of the “<” character in the scraper 564 depends on the position of the discharge hole 563. The particle storage container 561 may be provided at an arbitrary position in the radial direction. Here, a normally open valve (not shown) is provided in the upper stage and a normally closed valve is provided in the lower stage in the discharge hole 563, and the valves are connected by a duct. The valve keeps the filtration dust collector 502 airtight. The above is the description of the filtration dust collector 502.

By the way, as described at the beginning of the description of this reference example, a switching valve 570 is provided between the centrifugal dust collector 501 and the pair of filter units 540 and 540, and the pair of switching valves 570 provides a pair of switching valves 570. Any one of the filter units 540 and 540 and the centrifugal dust collector 501 can communicate with each other, and the other and the centrifugal dust collector 501 can be blocked. With such a configuration, the following effects can be obtained. That is, the filter unit 540 needs to be periodically backwashed with compressed air in order to maintain the filtration performance, and the particulate matter adhering to the filter 553 needs to be removed. However, the filter unit 540 includes only one filter unit 540. If not, dust collection by the filter unit 540 is interrupted during backwashing, so that the processing by the cylindrical rotary container 10 must also be interrupted. Further, if the filter unit 540 and the centrifugal dust collector 501 communicate with each other during the backwashing, compressed air may flow into the centrifugal dust collector 501 and have an adverse effect. On the other hand, according to the present reference example , the two filter units 540 and the switching valve 570 are provided, and the one filter unit 540 and the centrifugal dust collector 501 communicate with each other, while the other filter unit 540 and the centrifugal filter 501 are separated from each other. Since the dust collector 504 can be shut off, particulate matter is collected by the filter unit 540 and the centrifugal dust collector 501 while the filter 553 is backwashed by the other filter unit 540. Can do. Thereby, the process by the cylindrical rotary container 10 can be continuously performed irrespective of the backwashing of the filter unit 540.

  The operation of the particle recovery apparatus 500 will be summarized. The exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust port 32B of the fixed lid 32 in the cylindrical rotating container 10 is taken into the centrifugal dust collector 501 and the particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas is separated by the centrifugal force. The particulate matter separated by the centrifugal dust collector 501 is intermittently discharged from the discharge chute 520 by a substantially constant amount.

  Exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust cylinder 517 of the centrifugal dust collector 501 is taken into one filter unit 540 communicated via the switching valve 570. Then, clean exhaust gas from which the particulate matter has been almost completely removed by the filter 553 is discharged from the exhaust port 543 to the atmosphere. In addition, when harmful substances are contained in addition to particulate substances, exhaust gas exhausted from the particle recovery device 500 is passed through an exhaust gas cleaning device (not shown) to remove harmful substances, and then released into the atmosphere. You may make it do.

  The switching valve 570 is periodically switched, and the pair of filter units 540 and 540 are alternately disconnected from the centrifugal dust collector 501. In the filter unit 540 that is disconnected from the centrifugal dust collector 501, the filter 553 is back-washed with compressed air, and particulate matter adhering to the filter 553 is removed. Meanwhile, the other filter unit 540 is in communication with the centrifugal separator 501, and the particulate matter is filtered and separated by the filter 553.

  Particulate matter removed from the filter 553 is stored in the particle storage container 561. Further, the particulate matter stored in the particle storage container 561 is collected by the scraper 564 and discharged from the discharge hole 563. Specifically, the two-stage valve provided in the discharge hole 563 is alternately opened and closed (the upper valve is normally opened by a timer, and when the valve is closed, the lower valve is normally closed to discharge the particulate matter. Thereafter, the lower valve is closed, and when the upper valve is closed, the upper valve is opened (a level sensor may be provided to control the operation by sensing the level sensor), and the particulate matter is discharged. Furthermore, the particulate matter separated by the centrifugal dust collector 501 may be stored in the particle storage container 561 and stored as an external product in the cylindrical rotating container 10 of the processing object S.

The electric circuit member 745 has a thin shaft shape extending in the axial direction of the cylindrical rotating container 10, and is divided into a plurality of electric circuit constituting bodies 746 and 746 at a plurality of positions in the axial direction of the cylindrical rotating container 10.

Now, the container rotating apparatus 100 of the present reference example is a plating apparatus for performing a plating process (electroplating process or electroless plating process) on the surface of the processing object S or the processing object S is electrochemically dissolved. It can be used as an electropolishing apparatus for polishing. FIG. 70A is an example of a processing flow for electroplating and electropolishing, and FIG. 70B is an example of a processing flow for electroless plating. Here, an automatic control panel (not shown) may be provided, and the processing described below may be performed by automatic control.

  In the electroplating process and the electropolishing process, the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the forward direction with both the valves 727 and 728 first closed, and the processing object is placed in the second rotating chamber 16 of the cylindrical rotating container 10. S and electrolyte are supplied in a fixed amount and supplied to the first rotation chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23. Next, energization is performed between the pair of ring-shaped electrodes 740 and 740 while stirring the processing object S and the electrolytic solution in the first rotating chamber 15, and electroplating processing is performed on the processing object S. Alternatively, an electrolytic polishing process is performed.

  When the electroplating process or the electrolytic polishing process is completed, the valve 727 is opened while the forward rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10 is continued. Then, the electrolytic solution in the first rotation chamber 15 is discharged to the outside through the drainage duct 730 and the shaft passage (not shown) of the drive shaft 723. Next, the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 726 into the first rotation chamber 15 to clean the processing object S and the first rotation chamber 15. The used cleaning liquid is discharged from the first rotating chamber 15 through the drainage duct 730 and the shaft passage. Alternatively, the cleaning liquid may be supplied to the second rotating chamber 16 and supplied to the first rotating chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23 using the positive rotation of the cylindrical rotating container 10.

  When the cleaning process is completed, the movable base 721 is rotated with respect to the fixed base 720, and the cylindrical rotary container 10 is set to an elevation posture (specifically, an elevation angle of about 70 degrees) with the terminal end 13 facing obliquely upward. In this state, the valve 728 is opened and hot air is supplied from the dryer 729. The hot air is fed into the first rotation chamber 15 through the shaft through passage and the drainage duct 730. At this time, since the cylindrical rotary container 10 is rotated forward, the processing object S can be efficiently dried with hot air.

  When the drying process is completed, the movable base 721 is rotated with respect to the fixed base 720, so that the cylindrical rotary container 10 is in a depression posture (specifically, a depression angle of about 5 degrees) with its terminal end 13 facing obliquely downward. In this state, the cylindrical rotary container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction. Then, the processing object S subjected to the electroplating process or the electrolytic polishing process is transferred from the first rotating chamber 15 to the second rotating chamber 16 via the transfer duct 23, and from the terminal port 13 of the cylindrical rotating container 10. Discharged.

As shown in FIG. 70B, in the electroless plating process, no current is supplied between the pair of ring-shaped electrodes 740 and 740, but the components of the electrolytic solution (plating solution) change. The first rotating chamber 15 is appropriately supplemented with an electrolytic solution and managed so that the components of the electrolytic solution are constant. At this time, excess electrolyte solution is discharged to the outside of the cylindrical rotary container 10 through the overflow outlet pipe 737, the flexible pipe 736, and the overflow transfer pipe 734. The processing content after the plating treatment (discharge of the electrolytic solution, washing, drying, and discharging of the processing object S) is the same as the electroplating processing and the electrolytic polishing processing. The electroless plating treatment can also be performed in a configuration in which the ring-shaped electrode 740, the electric path member 745, and other components necessary for energization are excluded from the container rotating apparatus 10 of this reference example .

The electroplating process or electrolytic polishing process has been described above. The plating power supply 743 is changed to a power supply capable of applying a high voltage low current or a high voltage pulse mode, etc., and can generate plasma. Thus, plasma electrolytic oxidation or plasma electrolytic reduction may be performed. The container rotating device 100 described above may be used for electrochemical processing or physicochemical processing (specifically, generation of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas, drainage processing, etc.) other than plating processing. Configuration of the present embodiment as described above (the ring-shaped electrode 740, etc.) may be applied to other embodiments and reference examples other than the present reference example.

[ Tenth Reference Example ]

FIG. 74A shows a container rotating device 100 of this reference example . A plasma power supply device 750 is fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical wall of the cylindrical rotating container 10 and can rotate integrally with the cylindrical rotating container 10. The plasma power supply device 750 is connected to a pair of ring-shaped electrodes 740 and 740 (discharge electrodes) via a terminal 741 fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical rotary container 10, and is illustrated via a slip ring 742. Not connected to an external power source.

  As shown in FIG. 75 (B), the liquid contained in the first rotating chamber 15 is agitated by the rotation of the cylindrical rotating container 10 and bubbles are included in the liquid in the first rotating chamber 15. A stirring plate 751 is provided. The stirring plate 751 stands upright from the inner surface of the cylindrical wall of the first rotating chamber 15 toward the center of rotation. The stirring plate 751 has a rectangular plate shape parallel to the rotation center of the cylindrical rotating container 10, and a plurality of stirring plates 751 are arranged in a line in parallel with the rotation center of the cylindrical rotating container 10 (FIG. 75 (A)). The stirring plates 751 arranged in the same row are arranged with a space therebetween, and a gap is also provided between the stirring plates 751 arranged at both ends of the row and the first start wall 12 and the first end wall 14. (See FIGS. 76A and 76B).

A plurality of rows are provided (see FIG. 75B).

  As shown in FIG. 76 (B), each stirring plate 751 has a plurality of large and small rectangular holes 752 formed therethrough, and the stirring plate 751 has a lattice structure as a whole. A relatively large rectangular hole 752 is formed in the central portion of the stirring plate 751, and an inclined plate 753 projects from the opening edge of the rectangular hole 752 on the first start wall 12 side. As shown in FIG. 75C, the inclined plate 753 is inclined with respect to the center of rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10, and a plurality of relatively small rectangular holes 752 are formed in the inclined plate 753. Further, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 rotates forward, the liquid in the first rotating chamber 15 is guided to the first end wall 14 side by the inclined plate 753 (see FIG. 76A). The stirring plate 751 is made of sheet metal, and the inclined plate 753 is cut and raised from the stirring plate 751.

  As shown in FIG. 76 (B), discharge pieces 754 (discharge electrodes) are respectively provided at both corners of the stirring plate 751 away from the inner surface of the cylindrical wall of the cylindrical rotary container 10. As shown in FIG. 75D, the discharge piece 754 is formed by bending a sheet metal at a right angle into a flat U-shape, and is attached so that both corners of the stirring plate 751 are sandwiched in the thickness direction. The discharge piece 754 includes a discharge end 755 having a sharp tip, and the discharge end 755 is abutted against the discharge end 755 of the adjacent discharge piece 754 or the ring-shaped electrode 740. In addition, elongated holes 756 extending in the direction in which the stirring plates 751 are arranged are formed through both corners of the stirring plate 751 (see FIG. 75C), and the discharge pieces 754 are placed within the range of the elongated holes 756. It can be slid and fixed at an arbitrary position. That is, the discharge gap between the discharge ends 755 of the adjacent discharge pieces 754 (discharge electrode pairs) and the size of the discharge gap between the ring-shaped electrode 740 and the discharge ends 755 of the discharge pieces 754 are arbitrarily adjusted. It is possible to do.

  When the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward, bubbles are taken into the liquid by the action of the stirring plate 751 as shown in FIG. 75 (B). When a voltage is applied between the pair of ring-shaped electrodes 740 and 740 in a state where bubbles are sufficiently taken into the liquid, the ring-shaped electrode 740 and the discharge piece 754 (discharge end 755) are adjacent to each other. Plasma is generated in the bubbles existing in the discharge gap between the discharge pieces 754 (discharge end 755) (in-liquid plasma discharge occurs), and the liquid can be processed by the plasma (FIG. 76C )reference). Specifically, for example, detoxification treatment (decomposition, sterilization, disinfection) of harmful substances in a liquid, or metal ions dissolved in a liquid are reduced or oxidized using plasma to be deposited as nanoparticles. Is possible.

FIG. 73 shows a processing flow of in-liquid plasma processing using the container rotating apparatus 100 of this reference example . As shown in FIG. 5A, when producing nano-particles by in-liquid plasma treatment, the cylindrical rotary container 10 is rotated in the forward direction with the valves 727 and 728 closed, and the cylindrical shape is obtained. A fixed amount of the raw material solution of nano-particles is supplied to the second rotating chamber 16 of the rotating container 10 and fed into the first rotating chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23. Next, while stirring the raw material solution in the first rotating chamber 15, energization is performed between the pair of ring electrodes 740 and 740 to generate plasma in the raw material solution. As a result, metal ions in the raw material solution are reduced or oxidized to produce metal nanoparticles. In addition, since the component of a raw material solution changes with precipitation of a nanoparticle, it is preferable to process while replenishing a raw material solution suitably.

  When the in-liquid plasma treatment is completed, the valve 727 is opened while the forward rotation of the cylindrical rotary container 10 is continued. Then, the raw material solution in the first rotation chamber 15 is discharged through the drainage duct 730 and the shaft passage (not shown) of the drive shaft 723. At this time, the nano fine particles remain in the first rotation chamber 15 without passing through the filter member 733. Next, the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 726 into the first rotation chamber 15 to clean the processing object S and the first rotation chamber 15. The used cleaning liquid is discharged from the first rotating chamber 15 through the drainage duct 730 and the shaft passage. Alternatively, the cleaning liquid may be supplied to the second rotating chamber 16 and supplied to the first rotating chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23 using the positive rotation of the cylindrical rotating container 10.

  When the cleaning process is completed, the movable base 721 is rotated with respect to the fixed base 720 so that the cylindrical rotary container 10 is in an elevation posture with the end opening 13 facing obliquely upward, and the valve 728 is opened in that state. Hot air is supplied from the dryer 729. The hot air is fed into the first rotation chamber 15 through the shaft through passage and the drainage duct 730. At this time, since the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotating in the forward direction, the nanoparticles can be efficiently dried with hot air.

Then, the manufactured nano fine particles are transferred from the first rotating chamber 15 to the second rotating chamber 16 via the transfer duct 23 and discharged from the terminal end 13 of the cylindrical rotating container 10.

  Here, instead of performing the drying process, if a desired solution is supplied to the first rotating chamber 15 after the cleaning process and then the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction, the nanoparticles are dispersed in the solution. It can be taken out. In addition, after all the raw material solutions in the 1st rotation chamber 15 are discharged | emitted, the cylindrical rotation container 10 may be reversely rotated and nanoparticle may be taken out in the state without washing | cleaning. Here, an automatic control panel (not shown) may be provided to perform the above-described processing (manufacturing of nano-particles) by automatic control.

  When detoxifying a liquid containing harmful substances by in-liquid plasma treatment, as shown in FIG. 73 (B), the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the forward direction. The liquid as the processing object S is quantitatively supplied to the second rotation chamber 16 and supplied to the first rotation chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23. Next, energization is performed between the pair of ring-shaped electrodes 740 and 740 while stirring the liquid in the first rotating chamber 15. Then, harmful components in the liquid are detoxified by the plasma.

When the plasma detoxification process is completed, the movable base 721 is rotated with respect to the fixed base 720, so that the cylindrical rotary container 10 is in a depression posture with its terminal end 13 facing obliquely downward. The rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction.

[ Eleventh Reference Example ]
Hereinafter, an eleventh reference example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 77 to 79. In the container rotating device 100 of this reference example , a cathode electrode and an anode electrode are disposed in the first rotating chamber 15 of the cylindrical rotating container 10, and these cathode electrodes are contained in the conductive liquid stored in the first rotating chamber 15. In the state where the anode electrode and the anode electrode are immersed, a voltage and current are applied between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode to generate plasma in the vicinity of the cathode electrode, and the cathode electrode is locally melted or ionized by the plasma heat. After that, it is possible to produce nanoparticles of the same material as the cathode electrode by solidifying or precipitating with a conductive liquid. Hereinafter, the configuration of this reference example will be described, but the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the ninth reference example, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 77 (A), an in-liquid plasma generator 760 is provided in the first rotating chamber 15 of the cylindrical rotating container 10. The in-liquid plasma generation unit 760 is integrally provided at the tip of a rotating rod 761 having a hollow structure, and the rotating rod 761 is inserted through a shaft through path (not shown) of the drive shaft 723. The distal end portion of the rotating rod 761 passes through the center hole 12A of the first start wall 12 and protrudes into the first rotating chamber 15, and the proximal end portion of the rotating rod 761 protrudes through the rotary joint 724. . The rotating rod 761 is rotatably supported by the rotary joint 724 and a sliding seal 759 fitted in the center hole 12A. An operating lever 761R that protrudes laterally is integrally provided at the base end of the rotating rod 761, and the rotating rod 761 can be rotated by operating the operating lever 761R. Then, by rotating the rotating rod 761, the in-liquid plasma generating unit 760 can be rotated between two positions 180 degrees apart in the first rotating chamber 15 (see FIG. 77B).

  As shown in FIG. 77 (B), the in-liquid plasma generating unit 760 projects from the tip of the rotating rod 761 toward the side. The in-liquid plasma generation unit 760 has a tip-breaking structure in which the tip side away from the rotating rod 761 is split into three, and has three electrode holders 762 having the same structure.

  78A and 78B, cross-sectional views of the electrode holder 762 are shown. The electrode holder 762 has a cylindrical shape, for example, and holds the center electrode 763 and the counter electrode 764.

  The center electrode 763 has an elongated rod shape and protrudes from the center of the tip surface of the electrode holder 762. The center electrode 763 is inserted into the axial center portion of the electrode holder 762, and the proximal end portion of the center electrode 763 is connected to the wire 766 through the joint 765 inside the electrode holder 762. As shown in FIG. 78C, the joint 765 has a screw hole 765A and a spring 765B accommodated in the screw hole 765A. The end is screwed into the screw hole 765A. The spring force of the spring 765B prevents the center electrode 763 and the screw hole 765A from loosening.

  The wire 766 is led out from the proximal end portion of the rotating rod 761 through a conduit 762A (see FIG. 78A) formed inside the electrode holder 762 and the rotating rod 761. An electrode contact 768 that is conductively connected to the power supply cable 767 and a heat-resistant insulating member 769 are fitted to the center of the tip of the electrode holder 762, and the axial centers of the electrode contact 768 and the insulating member 769 are fitted. The center electrode 763 penetrates. The center electrode 763 can be moved linearly in the axial direction by pushing and pulling the wire 766 so that the discharge between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode can be performed with an appropriate current and voltage, and the positioning bolt 770 can The electrode contact 768 is pressed so as to contact (see FIG. 78B). Specifically, the electrode holder 762 has a side screw hole 762B that reaches from the outer surface to the axial center, and a positioning bolt 770 is screwed into the side screw hole 762B. The positioning bolt 770 includes a push screw 770A screwed into the side screw hole 762A, and a push pin 770C connected to the tip of the push screw 770A via a spring 770B. The center electrode 763 is pushed by the push pin 770C from the side by the spring force of the spring 770B, whereby the center electrode 763 is pressed against the electrode contact 768 by the spring force of the spring 770B to achieve conduction. By providing the spring 770B, the center electrode 763 can be pressed and brought into contact with the electrode contact 768 while allowing the center electrode 763 to move linearly in the axial direction. It can be adjusted by adjusting the spring force of the spring 770B by screwing operation.

  As shown in FIG. 78A, the counter electrode 764 is fixed to an L-shaped cantilever arm 771 fixed to the tip of the electrode holder 762. The cantilever arm 771 is electrically connected to the feeding cable 772 inside the electrode holder 762. The cantilever arm 771 has a first arm 771A protruding in parallel with the center electrode 763 from a position near the outer edge of the tip surface of the electrode holder 762, and a right angle from the tip of the first arm 771A. The counter electrode 764 is fixed on the tip of the second arm 771B, that is, the extension line of the center electrode 763. The second arm 771B extends toward the extension line. Specifically, the counter electrode 764 has a male screw portion 764A, and the male screw portion 764A is screwed into a screw hole 771C formed through the tip of the second arm 771B. Thus, when the counter electrode 764 is consumed due to a decrease in discharge (a phenomenon in which the electrode is consumed by discharge), only the counter electrode 764 can be replaced. Further, the through hole 764B passes through the center portion of the counter electrode 764 (on the extended line of the center electrode 763). For example, if the center electrode 763 is excessively protruded, the center electrode 763 is inserted into the through hole 764B. It is designed to enter. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the center electrode 763 from hitting the counter electrode 764 and being damaged. Further, when the center electrode 763 is consumed due to the extinction of discharge, the center electrode 763 enters the through hole 764B, the consumed center electrode 763 is removed from the joint 765, and a new center electrode 763 is attached to the joint 765. Exchange work can be done. Further, since discharge is likely to occur at the sharp tip, stable discharge can be performed between the entire circumference of the opening edge on the center electrode 763 side in the through hole 764B and the center electrode 763. The consumption due to the discharge of 764 can be equalized.

  The first arm 771A of the cantilever arm 771 can move directly with respect to the electrode holder 762, but is always fixed by a plurality of set screws 773 as shown in FIG. The cantilever arm 771 and the power supply cable 772 are electrically connected by the set screw 773. By loosening the set screw 773, the discharge gap between the counter electrode 764 and the tip of the center electrode 763 can be adjusted. It is possible. Further, each of the power supply cables 767 and 772 passes through the electrode holder 762 and the rotating rod 761, is led out from the base end portion of the rotating rod 761, and is connected to the plasma power supply device 750.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 78 (A), a gas discharge passage 774 extending from the conduit 762A is formed inside the electrode holder 762. The gas discharge channel 774 is open to the distal end surface of the electrode holder 762, and gas (for example, air) supplied from the proximal end portion of the rotating rod 761 into the pipe line 762 A passes through the gas discharge channel 774. Are discharged from the tip surface of the electrode holder 762. Here, at the downstream end of the gas discharge channel 774, for example, a porous member 775 having a large number of nano-sized holes is provided, and gas passes through the porous member 775 to perform the first rotation. Finer bubbles can be generated in the conductive liquid in the chamber 15. Further, by rotating the cylindrical rotating container 10 forward (rotating in the direction of the solid line arrow in FIG. 78B), the bubbles discharged from the gas discharge flow channel 774 are directed between the center electrode 763 and the counter electrode 764. (See FIG. 77C).

FIG. 73 shows an example of a processing flow in the case of producing nano-particles using the container rotating device 100 of this reference example . When producing nano-particles, a specified amount of conductive liquid is supplied to the first rotation chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23 while rotating the cylindrical rotary container 10 in the forward direction. Further, the rotating rod 761 is rotated, and the in-liquid plasma generator 760 is disposed at a position where the tip of the electrode holder 762 is immersed in the conductive liquid (a position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 77B). Further, a gas is supplied to the gas discharge channel 774 to discharge fine bubbles into the conductive liquid. In this state, the center electrode 763 is used as a cathode electrode and the counter electrode 764 is used as an anode electrode (the anode and the cathode may be inverted depending on the processing contents), and voltage and current are applied between them. Then, plasma is generated between the center electrode 763 and the counter electrode 764, the surface temperature of the center electrode 763 that is a cathode locally exceeds the melting point, and a part thereof is melted. A part of the melted center electrode 763 is cooled by the conductive liquid in the form of fine droplets, so that nanoparticles of the same material as the center electrode 763 are generated. At this time, the current and voltage values are measured and managed so that the discharge between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode is performed at an appropriate current and voltage, and the wire 766 is automatically connected to the amount consumed by the discharge of the center electrode 763. It is extended to maintain a stable discharge state. Thereafter, processing is performed according to the processing flow described in the ninth reference example , such as discharging of the conductive liquid, washing of the nano-particles, drying, and discharging.

Here, the plating process can be performed on the nano-particles produced by the in-liquid plasma. Specifically, the electrolytic solution (plating solution) is supplied to the first rotating chamber 15 after the nano-particles are cleaned. Further, the rotating rod 761 is rotated by the operation of the operation lever 761R, and the in-liquid plasma generating portion is located at a position where the tip end portion of the electrode holder 762 is not immersed in the electrolyte (a position indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 77B). 760 is arranged. In this state, when a voltage is applied between the pair of ring-shaped electrodes 740 and 740 while rotating the cylindrical rotating container 10 in the positive direction, a metal coating (plating layer) is formed on the surface of the nano-particles. After the plating treatment, the treatment is performed according to the treatment flow described in the ninth reference example , such as discharge of the electrolyte, washing of the nanoparticle, drying, and discharge. The configuration of the present embodiment as described above, may be applied to other embodiments and reference examples other than the present reference example.

When a wet barrel polishing process (see FIG. 1A) is performed, an object to be processed is placed in the second rotating chamber 16 while the flow path switching plate 816 is in the second position and the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward. S, compound, medium 821 and liquid (specifically, water) are quantitatively supplied and supplied to the first rotating chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23.

  By rotating the cylindrical rotary container 10 in the forward direction, the medium 821, the compound, and the processing object S are agitated and the processing object S is polished. When the polishing process is completed, the liquid containing the abrasion powder is discharged from the drainage duct 730, and the cleaning process and the drying process of the processing object S are performed. When the drying process is completed, the movable base 721 is rotated with respect to the fixed base 720 to bring the cylindrical rotary container 10 into the depression posture, and in this state, the cylindrical rotary container 10 is reversely rotated. Then, as shown in FIG. 88C, the processing object S and the medium 821 move from the first rotating chamber 15 to the second rotating chamber 16 through the transfer duct 23, and the terminal end of the cylindrical rotating container 10. 13 is discharged.

Further, the medium 821 reaches the end on the large diameter side without passing through the sieve mesh of the trommel 810, and is sent to the center cylinder 812 through the communication path 813 as shown in FIG. 88 (B). It returns to the inside of the first rotation chamber 15 through the cylindrical body 812. When the medium 821 is taken out after the sieving between the processing object S and the medium 821, the flow path switching plate 816 is switched to the second position to rotate the cylindrical rotary container 10 in the reverse direction. Then, the medium 821 moves to the second rotation chamber 16 through the transfer duct 23 and is discharged from the terminal end 13.

After that, the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward. In this state, the processing object S (or liquid in the case of wet) is quantitatively supplied to the second rotating chamber 16, and the processing object S (and liquid) is supplied to the first rotating chamber 15 via the transfer duct 23. To do. Thereafter, pulverization / dispersion processing using the medium 821 is performed in the same manner, and then classification processing is performed.

When the medium 821 is taken out after the classification process is completed, the cylindrical rotating container 10 is temporarily stopped, the flow path switching plate 816 is switched to the first position, and the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction. Then, the medium 821 (and the residue of the processing object S) in the first rotation chamber 15 moves to the second rotation chamber 16 through the transfer duct 23 and is discharged from the end port 13. Furthermore, the operation lever 820 (flow path switching plate 816) may be switched by an electromagnetic solenoid, a motor, an air cylinder, or other actuator. Also, manual switching and actuator switching may be selected.

In addition, the heat medium discharged through the discharge flow path 932A is circulated to the medium supply device 937 through a heat exchanger (not shown) connected to the rotary joint 936, or another device that uses the heat medium ( For example, it is supplied to a boiler or the like.

  A discharge flow path 932A of the heat medium supply / discharge pipe 930 communicates with the jacket chamber 924 via a discharge port 921A formed through the closed end portion of the jacket body 921. On the other hand, the supply flow path 931 </ b> A of the heat medium supply / discharge pipe 930 is connected to an in-jacket flow path 925 formed between the inner surface of the heat exchange jacket 920 and the outer surface of the cylindrical rotary container 10. The in-jacket channel 925 is configured such that a channel wall 926 projecting from the inner surface of the heat exchange jacket 920 is abutted against the outer surface of the cylindrical rotary container 10. It is partitioned by a channel wall 926.

  The in-jacket flow path 925 is a first straight flow path 925A (FIG. 109 (A) extending between the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotary container 10 and the jacket body 921 in parallel with the central axis of the cylindrical rotary container 10. )) And a second linear flow path 925B extending in the radial direction of the cylindrical rotary container 10 between the first starting end wall 12 and the jacket bottom 922 and having one end connected to the first linear flow path 925A.

It is pushed and moves downward, and flows into the heat medium to enter the discharge flow path 932A of the first piping part 933 in the heat medium supply / discharge pipe 930 (see FIG. 109 (E)). When the cylindrical rotating container 10 further rotates in the forward rotation direction, the bubbles that have entered the discharge channel 932A are moved from the first piping part 933 toward the second piping part 934 by the guide of the internal partition 935 (FIG. 109 (F )), Bubbles are discharged from the jacket chamber 924 together with the heat medium. When the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction, the bubbles are similarly removed.

Also good. Specifically, the rotation shaft 681 passes through the center of the first rotation chamber 15 in a rotatable manner, and a plurality of stirring bars 680 are disposed on the side of the rotation shaft 681. All the stirring bars 680 are disposed on the inner side of the first spiral guide 17, and the rotating shaft 681 and each stirring bar 680 are connected by spokes 682 that protrude radially from the rotating shaft 681. . The stirrer 680 has a streamlined shape that tapers from one end to the other end in the rotation direction. Specifically, it has a wedge shape that narrows toward the front in the reverse rotation direction X2 of the cylindrical rotating container 10. According to this configuration, the stirring bar 680 is rotated in the reverse direction with respect to the rotation direction of the cylindrical rotating container 10, is rotated at a rotational speed different from that of the cylindrical rotating container 10, or the cylindrical rotating container 10 and the stirring bar are rotated.

Moreover, by making the stirring bar 680 into the structure according to the kind and processing content of the process target object S, such as the rotary blade structure used for the tiller, the sickle blade for obtaining the shear effect, etc., for example. Various stirring can be performed.

  (5) The cylindrical rotating container 10 is configured by fixing a container structure formed by dividing the cylindrical rotating container 10 in the central axis direction by fixing means (including fastening members such as bolts and welding). It may be. For example, in the case of the cylindrical rotating container 10 of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 114 (A), a first container structure 691 integrally including a first start wall 12 and a lifter 20, The second container structure 692 integrally including the first spiral guide 17, the third container structure 693 integrally including the first end wall 14 and the transfer duct 23, and the second spiral guide 18 are integrally formed. It is good also as a structure which made it possible to divide | segment into the 4th container structure 694 with which the flange part 695 provided in the division | segmentation surface of each container structure 691-694 was fixed by the fixing means. By adopting such a configuration, the internal wall of the first rotating chamber 15, the inner wall of the second rotating chamber 16, the internal mechanisms such as the spiral guides 17, 18, 27, the lifter 20, and the like can be easily cleaned and cleaned. Can be easily performed.

  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 114 (B), replacement container constituent bodies 701 to 705 that can be replaced with the first to fourth container constituent bodies 691 to 694 and have different internal structures are prepared. In addition, it is good also as a structure which can be set as the cylindrical rotary container 10 by combining arbitrarily the container structure 691-694,701-704 according to the kind and process content of the process target object S. FIG.

  (6) In the embodiment described above, the continuous ribbon-shaped first spiral guide 17 is provided. However, instead of the first spiral guide 17, as shown in the three views of FIG. A plurality of long plate-like stirring walls 710 erected from the peripheral surface may be provided. The plurality of agitation walls 710 are arranged in a state inclined at a constant angle with respect to the central axis of the cylindrical rotating container 10 and are arranged so as to be shifted from each other in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the cylindrical rotating container 10 and in the longitudinal direction. Are arranged so as to overlap with another adjacent stirring wall 710. Then, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward, the plurality of stirring walls 710 sequentially pass through the processing target S accumulated in the lower portion of the first rotating chamber 15, and the plurality of stirring walls 710 reach the plurality of stirring walls 710. The processing object S is pushed and moved from the first end wall 14 to the first start wall 12. The same applies to the case where the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction. The processing object S is pushed by the plurality of stirring walls 710 and moves from the first start end wall 12 to the first end wall 14. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 115 (B), a sub stirring wall 711 inclined with respect to the stirring wall 710 may be provided at the tip of the column 712 that protrudes radially inward from the stirring wall 710. Since the sub stirring wall 711 pushes the middle layer or the upper layer portion of the processing object S to the side opposite to the stirring wall 710, the sub stirring wall 711 can be effectively stirred. Note that it is more preferable that the entire stirring wall 710 and the sub-stirring wall 711 have a rounded shape (a shape with chamfered edges). By setting it as such a structure, the ease of washing | cleaning inside the cylindrical rotation container 10 (1st rotation chamber 15) can be improved.

  (7) As shown in FIG. 116 (A), the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotary container 10 is directly hit by air or electromagnetic knocker 460 (batter 461), or as shown in FIG. In addition, the first sub-spiral guide 27 (or the trommel 65, 232, etc.) disposed away from the cylindrical wall 11 inside the cylindrical rotary container 10 may be configured to be hit indirectly by the knocker 460. . In FIG. 116B, reference numeral 450 denotes a cylinder that stands up from the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder wall 11 and whose inner part is closed by a hitting seat 455, and reference numeral 451 denotes a hitting seat that moves straight in the cylinder 450. A striking piston that strikes 455, a spring 452 that biases the striking piston 451 in a direction away from the hitting seat 455 of the cylinder 450, and a spring 453 that projects from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 11 by the biasing force of the spring 452. This is a pressure receiving pin that can come into contact with the striker 461 of the knocker 460. When the cylindrical rotary container 10 rotates with the striking element 461 of the knocker 460 approaching the outer peripheral surface of the tubular wall 11, every time the striking piston 451 passes the striking element 461 (the striking element 461 and the pressure receiving pin 453 are in contact with each other). Whenever the contact is made, the striking piston 451 collides with the striking seat 455 of the cylinder 450, and an impact is applied to the first sub-spiral guide 27 (or the trommel 65, 232, etc.), and the processing object S adhered to them. Can be dismissed.

  (8) In the above embodiment, the cylindrical rotating container 10 is directly driven to rotate by the motor 31, but as shown in FIG. 117 (A), the supporting roller 30 that supports the cylindrical rotating container 10 from below, The cylindrical rotary container 10 may be rotated by rotationally driving 30 with a motor 31. In addition, the code | symbol 470 in the figure is a power transmission shaft for rotationally driving the two support rollers 30 and 30 with the common motor 31. FIG.

  (9) Here, in order to transmit the rotation of the support rollers 30 and 30 to the cylindrical rotary container 10, it is necessary to frictionally engage the support roller 30 and the outer ring 11R. Specifically, it can be considered that the material of the support roller 30 is, for example, rubber or urethane. However, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is heated from the outside or the inside to process the processing target S, it is desired to avoid that heat is transmitted to the support roller 30 made of rubber or urethane via the outer ring 11R. Therefore, the outer rings 11R and 11R may be structured as shown in FIGS. 117 (B) and (C). The outer ring 11R is composed of a tire 471 and a rim 472. The tire 471 has a narrow ring shape, and the rim 472 has a flange shape protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical rotary container 10 and is abutted against the inner peripheral surface of the tire 471. The rim 472 has a large number of cooling holes 472A for improving heat dissipation. A plurality of slit-shaped gaps 473 are formed between the rim 472 and the tire 471 in order to suppress heat transfer. A plurality of slit-like gaps 474 are also formed between the rim 472 and the cylindrical rotary container 10 in order to suppress heat transfer. In order to form the slit-shaped gap 474, a plurality of spacers 475 are interposed between the rim 472 and the cylindrical rotating container 10, and the rim 472 and the cylindrical rotating container are interposed via the plurality of spacers 475. 10 is fixed integrally. By taking such heat transfer prevention measures, it becomes difficult for the heat of the cylindrical rotating container 10 to be transmitted to the support roller 30, so that rubber or urethane can be adopted as the material of the support roller 30.

  (10) As shown in FIG. 118, a cylindrical wall through hole 11B formed through the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotating container 10 and the cylindrical wall through hole 11B are inserted into the first rotating chamber 15 and are rotatable. A rotating shaft 221, a motor 220 connected to the base end of the rotating shaft 221 and fixed to the cylindrical wall 11, a grinding blade 222 projecting laterally from the distal end of the rotating shaft 221, and the outside of the cylindrical rotating container 10 It is good also as a structure provided with the slip ring 480 which electrically connects between the electric power feeding part (not shown) provided in 1 and the motor 220. FIG. Further, when a plurality of motors 220 for the grinding blade 222 are fixed to the cylinder wall 11, the plurality of motors 220 may be controlled by a common inverter, or an inverter is provided for each of the plurality of motors 220. Each motor 220 may be controlled separately. In this way, the processing object S stored in the lower part of the first rotation chamber 15 can also be pulverized.

  (11) In the above-described embodiment, a load cell capable of measuring the weight of the processing object S is provided, the weight of the processing object S is recorded, and the supply of the processing object S according to the output of the load cell The discharge may be performed automatically.

  (12) In the first embodiment, flame or superheated steam is supplied to the central portion of the cylinder in the first rotating chamber 15 to perform the heat treatment of the processing target S. For example, liquid is applied to the central portion of the cylinder. It is good also as a structure which can perform the freezing process of the process target object S by spraying nitrogen etc., and can stir, mix, and grind | pulverize the frozen object.

  (13) In the above embodiment, the temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the inside and outside of the cylindrical rotating container 10, the processing object S, the processing atmosphere at the center of the cylinder, and the output of the temperature sensor wirelessly. A wireless communication means for transmitting to the control unit may be provided to perform processing while performing temperature control. At this time, the Seebeck power generation unit may be used as a power source for the wireless communication means and the temperature sensor.

  (14) In the said embodiment, it is good also as a structure which performed the passivation process or the coating process on the inner surface of the cylindrical rotation container 10, or affixed the heat insulating material on the inner surface or outer surface of the cylindrical rotation container.

  (15) In the first embodiment, the first rotating chamber 15 is provided with a cone (not shown) having a frustoconical cylindrical shape whose diameter increases from the first start wall 12 toward the first terminal wall 14. 10, the processing object S introduced into the processing atmosphere by the lifter 20 is received at the small diameter side end of the cone, and the inside of the cone is moved to the bowl-shaped reflection member 19 side. You may make it fall from the large diameter side edge part. In this way, the processing object S accumulated on the first end wall 14 side of the first rotation chamber 15 is sent to the first start end wall 12 side by the first spiral guide 17 and reaches the first start end wall 12. The processing object S is scooped into the pocket portion 21 of the lifter 20 and put into the processing atmosphere, and the processing object S put into the processing atmosphere is sent to the first end wall 14 side through the cone. Thus, the number of times the processing object S passes through the processing atmosphere is flattened, and a more uniform processing in the atmosphere can be performed.

  (16) In the above embodiment, the spiral guides 17, 18, 27 may be detachable from the cylindrical rotating container 10. FIG. 119 shows a structure in which the first spiral guide 17 and the first sub-spiral guide 27 provided in the first rotation chamber 15 are detachable from the cylindrical rotary container 10. As shown in FIG. 5A, the spiral guides 17 and 27 are supported by a fixed support unit 940.

  The fixed support unit 940 is a connection in which a pair of support columns 941 and 941 extending in a direction perpendicular to the central axis in the first rotation chamber 15 and intermediate portions in the axial direction of the support columns 941 and 941 are connected to each other. Bar 950. As shown in FIG. 119 (B), the support column 941 includes guide connecting portions 943 described later at both ends of a rectangular column portion 942 having a rectangular cross section. The connecting rod 950 is fixed to one support column 941 and extends on the central axis of the cylindrical rotary container 10, and a screw portion 950 </ b> A is formed at the tip thereof. A through hole 941A through which a screw portion 950A passes is formed in the other support column 941 (square column portion 942), and a cylindrical sleeve nut 944 is rotatably supported in the through hole 941A (FIG. 119). (See (F)). As shown in FIG. 119 (E), the sleeve nut 944 is attached to the through hole 941A so that the intermediate portion in the axial direction inserted through the through hole 941A is narrower with respect to both ends, and is prevented from coming off with respect to the through hole 941A. ing. The sleeve nut 944 and the screw portion 950A of the connecting rod 950 are screwed together. Then, by rotating the sleeve nut 944, one support column 941 can be brought into contact with or separated from the other support column 941, and the distance between the axes can be changed.

  Guide connecting portions 943 provided at both ends of both support pillars 941 and 941 are composed of a pair of cylindrical portions 945 and 945 protruding from the end face of the rectangular pillar portion 942. 945 are arranged side by side in the direction of the central axis of the cylindrical tubular container 10 (see FIGS. 119C and D). A slit-shaped guide intersection gap 946 is formed between the adjacent cylindrical portions 945 and 945, and the ends of the first spiral guide 17 and the first sub-spiral guide 27 are inserted into the guide intersection gap 946. (See FIG. 119D).

  The pair of cylindrical portions 945 and 945 are formed with pin insertion holes 945A penetrating in the arrangement direction thereof. The pin insertion holes 945A are formed on the proximal end side and the distal end side of the cylindrical portion 945, and the connecting pins 947 are inserted into both the pin insertion holes 945A. The connecting pin 947 inserted through the distal end side pin insertion hole 945A passes through the first spiral guide 17 inserted through the guide crossing gap 946 in a skewered state, and is inserted into the proximal end side pin insertion hole 945A. A connecting pin 947 penetrates the first sub-spiral guide 27 inserted through the guide crossing gap 946 in a skewered state.

  Long holes 948 and 949 through which the connecting pins 947 pass are formed at both ends of the spiral guides 17 and 27. A longitudinally elongated hole 948 extending along the radial direction is formed at one end of the spiral guides 17 and 27, and a laterally elongated hole 949 extending along the substantially circumferential direction of the spiral guides 17 and 27 at the opposite end. Is formed. By the rotation of the support column 941 with respect to the long holes 948 and 949 and the sleeve nut 944 described above, the spiral accompanying the change in the distance between the axes of the pair of support columns 941 and 941 is maintained while maintaining the connection with the fixed support unit 940. It becomes possible to absorb the shape change of the guides 17 and 27. Specifically, when the distance between the axes of the pair of support columns 941 and 941 is reduced, the spiral guides 17 and 27 are allowed to deform in the diameter increasing direction while maintaining the connection with the fixed support unit 940. In addition, when the distance between the axes of the pair of support columns 941 and 941 is increased, the spiral guides 17 and 27 are allowed to be deformed in the reduced diameter direction while maintaining the connection with the fixed support unit 940. Is done.

  When the spiral guides 17 and 27 are assembled in the first rotation chamber 15, the distance between the shafts of the pair of support columns 941 and 941 is relatively increased by rotating the sleeve nut 944, and the spiral guides 17 and 27 are moved. The diameter is reduced and inserted into the first rotating chamber 15 in that state. Next, the sleeve nut 944 is rotated and the distance between the axes of the pair of support columns 941 and 941 is reduced. Then, the spiral guide 27 is deformed in the diameter increasing direction, and the first spiral guide 17 is abutted against the inner surface of the cylindrical wall 11 of the cylindrical rotary container 10 over the entire circumference and fixed in the stretched state. According to the present embodiment, the first spiral guide 17 and the first sub-spiral guide 27 can be removed from the inside of the cylindrical rotary container 10 (first rotary chamber 15), so the inside of the cylindrical rotary container 10 (first The ease of cleaning the one-turn chamber 15) can be improved. Although not shown, the second spiral guide 18 may be detachable from the second rotating chamber 16 by a similar fixed support unit 940.

  (17) The cylindrical rotary container 10 may be a rectangular tube having a polygonal cross section and a structure twisted in the circumferential direction between both axial end portions. For example, the cylindrical rotating container 10 shown in FIG. 120 has a hexagonal rectangular tube shape, and is twisted by a predetermined angle of less than 60 degrees around the central axis between both ends in the axial direction. More specifically, the terminal end 13 is twisted about 20 degrees forward of the first starting end wall 12 in the forward rotation direction X1. When the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated in the reverse direction (rotated in the direction of the arrow X2), the inner surface of the bottom of the cylindrical rotating container 10 becomes an inclined surface inclined downward from the first start end wall 12 toward the end port 13 (see FIG. 120 (D)), the inclined surface causes the processing object S in the cylindrical rotating container 10 to move from the first start end wall 12 side to the end port 13 side (from the front side to the back side in FIG. 120C). Move). That is, the processing object S in the first rotation chamber 15 moves to the first end wall 14, is transferred to the second rotation chamber 16 through the transfer duct 23, and further moves in the second rotation chamber 16. And discharged from the end port 13. On the other hand, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward (rotated in the direction of the arrow X1), the processing object S in the cylindrical rotating container 10 is inclined from the end port 13 side to the first starting end wall 12 side ( It moves from the back side to the near side in FIG. That is, the processing object S in the second rotation chamber 16 is transferred to the first rotation chamber 15 through the transfer duct 23 and further moves in the first rotation chamber 15 toward the first start end wall 12. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the cleanability inside the cylindrical rotary container 10 as compared with the case where the first spiral guide 17 and the second spiral guide 18 are arranged. The first rotation chamber 15 may be provided with a first sub-spiral guide 27 as necessary. Further, in the above embodiment, the cylindrical rotating container 10 is twisted by 20 degrees around its central axis. However, the angle of twist is an optimum angle depending on conditions such as physical properties of processing, processing method, processing rotation, etc. Should be set.

  (18) As shown in FIG. 121, a pair of electrodes 940 laid on the inner surface of the first starting wall 12 on the first rotating chamber 15 side and the inner surface of the first terminal wall 14 on the first rotating chamber 15 side. , 940 and a power supply device 941 that can apply a voltage between the pair of electrodes 940, 940. Each of the pair of electrodes 940, 940 has a disk shape covering the entire inner surfaces of the first start wall 12 and the first end wall 14, and is disposed opposite to each other in the first rotation chamber 15. According to the container rotating device 100, for example, when water, the processing object S, and a solid catalyst are charged into the first rotating chamber 15 and the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated, the catalyst becomes the electrodes 940 and 940. , The gas bubbles generated on the surface of the electrode 940 can be removed, and the scale can be prevented from adhering to the electrode 940 (cathode). Furthermore, the electrolytic efficiency can be improved by the catalyst. The electrolyte liquid, waste oil, waste water, plant organic matter, animal organic matter, cellulosic material, contaminated soil, or the like liquid or slurry or solid matter as the treatment object S can be treated by electrolysis. Moreover, an electrolysis product (electrolysis electrolyte solution, oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body) can be produced by electrolysis of the electrolyte liquid. Moreover, metal recovery from metal-containing wastewater (for example, plating wastewater) by the generated electrolytic product, decomposition of cyanide in cyanide-containing wastewater, reduction of COD and BOD of high-load wastewater, decomposition of organic matter, slurry-like contaminated soil It becomes possible to make the fuel into a detoxification, waste oil such as machine oil, tempura oil, etc. in a water-oil dispersion. Although not shown in FIG. 121, the cylindrical rotating container 10 is provided with a pulverizing mechanism (for example, a pulverizing blade 222; see FIG. 39) and a classification mechanism (see FIG. 29), so that the plant organic material (raw garbage, food) Waste, agricultural waste, wood waste, etc.) and animal organic materials (human waste, septic tank sludge, animal waste, livestock manure, sewage treatment sludge, etc.) or a mixture of these, pulverized electrolysis solubilization treatment Then, hydrogen gas by methane gas or hydrogen fermentation treatment may be generated. Furthermore, a single organic base cellulosic material such as sweet potato foliage and sugar cane ears, or a single organic base chitin substance such as crab, shrimp, insect shell, etc. You may perform the extraction classification process of an organic polyphenol component.

Further, a cone in which the diameter of both or any one of the cylindrical wall constituting the first rotating chamber 15 and the cylindrical wall constituting the second rotating chamber 16 is increased as the distance from the first starting end wall 12 (approaching the terminal end 13) is increased. It may be trapezoidal. As a result, when the cylindrical rotating container 10 is rotated forward, the processing object S in the second rotation chamber 16 is moved closer to the first end wall 14 on the processing object S in the first rotation chamber 15. Each of the chambers can be driven closer to the end port 13, and the processing operation of the embodiment can be performed without providing the first spiral guide 17 and the second spiral guide 18 in both chambers. However, depending on the physical properties of the processing target S (for example, processing products other than liquid, slurry, or particles with high fluidity), the effect may be small and the processing time may be long. Adopt it. Further, for the treatment by the gas suction force of the suction fan 554, a not-shown pushing fan is provided between the exhaust port 32B of the container rotating device 100 and the particle recovery device 500, and particulate matter centrifugal force dust collection by gas pushing and A filtration separation process may be performed.

Although the first valve body 535 is configured to open and close, the opening and closing operations of the first valve body 535 and the second valve body 523 may be performed as follows. That is, a detection sensor for detecting the completion of discharge is provided at a position near the lower end of the discharge chute 520, and a detection sensor for detecting the full amount is provided at a position near the upper end.
