Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a used sanitary product collection/processing station that collects used sanitary products such as used disposable diapers, treats the collected used sanitary products, and recovers recycled resources.

Disposable diapers are widely used for care recipients and infants in care facilities, hospitals, and general households. Such used sanitary products such as disposable diapers are collected as combustible waste and incinerated at a waste incineration plant. Nursing homes, hospitals, etc. store used sanitary products in specific locations within the facility, and they are collected by disposal companies that collect waste. It is discarded in a garbage can along with it, stored in a garbage collection bag specified by the local government, etc., discarded at the municipal garbage collection point, collected by a garbage collection company, transported to an incineration plant, and incinerated.

In nursing homes and hospitals, it is possible to set up a storage area to store used sanitary products. Since used sanitary goods used in homes and small-scale childcare facilities are stored together with other combustible waste in homes and facilities, bacterial growth spreads around storage areas in homes and facilities. , and odors spread in homes and facilities.

For this reason, when storing used sanitary goods at home or in facilities, they are stored in sealed bags made of plastic or the like with good sealability, and are accumulated at local garbage collection points as general combustible waste. The used sanitary goods accumulated in the garbage collection site are collected together with other combustible garbage and the like by garbage collectors, transported to the garbage incinerator, and incinerated. In addition, used sanitary products discarded from nursing homes, hospitals, etc. are finally transported to a waste incineration plant and incinerated. For this reason, when incinerating used sanitary products together with combustible waste at a waste incineration plant, the cost of fuel and the like becomes high, resulting in high incineration costs.

On the other hand, in recent years, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-200001 and the like proposes to recover recyclable resources such as pulp and plastic by decomposing used sanitary goods. When recovering recycled resources such as pulp and plastic from used sanitary goods, dismantling a relatively large amount of used sanitary goods reduces processing costs and increases the amount of recycled resources collected. It is better to decompose used sanitary goods from nursing homes and hospitals where sanitary goods are discarded in terms of cost and collection efficiency.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-034268

By the way, in nursing homes, hospitals, etc., storage places can be set up, and the odor of used sanitary products does not affect the outside, but in ordinary homes and small childcare facilities, as described above, it is flammable. Disposing of used sanitary goods in a trash can causes problems such as the growth of bacteria and odor. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly dispose of the used sanitary goods at a garbage dump or an incinerator.

In addition, in recent years, the general practice of collecting PET bottles, used oil, and bottles and cans as recycled resources has become more efficient for incineration than incineration at garbage incineration plants. Although it is well known that disposal costs can be reduced and the impact on the natural environment can be reduced, used sanitary products are not collected and recycled in this way.

Therefore, the present invention can process used sanitary goods discarded from nursing homes, hospitals, etc. and recover recycled resources, and can also treat used sanitary goods discarded from ordinary homes, small-scale childcare facilities, etc. at any time. The purpose is to provide a collection and processing station for used sanitary products that can collect recyclable resources.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, a first aspect of the present invention provides a used sanitary product collection and recycling system for processing used sanitary products individually brought in and collected and recovering recycled resources.

In a second aspect of the present invention, the collection unit includes a collection box having an inlet into which the used sanitary goods brought in is put, and the used sanitary goods put into the collection box are taken out and processed as described above. and a pick-up and feed device for sending to the department.

A third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the waste liquid treatment unit has a septic tank for treating the waste liquid after the pulp is recovered by the pulp recovery device.

According to the used sanitary product collection/processing station according to the present invention, when each used sanitary product is brought into the used sanitary product collection/processing station installed within a predetermined site, the used sanitary product are collected by the collection unit in the collection/processing station, processed by the processing unit, and recycled resources are collected. At this collection and processing station for used sanitary products installed on a designated site, used sanitary products discarded from nursing homes, hospitals, etc. can be processed and recycled resources can be collected, and general households, small-scale childcare facilities, etc. It will be possible to process used sanitary products discarded from the factory at any time and recover recyclable resources.

In addition, it is possible to dispose of used sanitary products by bringing used sanitary products used in general households or small childcare facilities to the used sanitary product collection and processing station. In addition, since the storage period of used sanitary products in general households and small-scale childcare facilities is shortened, it solves the problem of bacterial growth and odor caused by used sanitary products in general households and small-scale childcare facilities. can do.

In addition, by bringing used sanitary products discarded from nursing homes and hospitals to the collection and processing station for used sanitary products, there is no need to set up storage areas in nursing homes and hospitals, and used sanitary products can be processed early.
