(Step 650) Based on the processing procedure information obtained in step 652, the purpose of the processing procedure which is detected as being impossible is originally extracted.

The purpose is broadly divided into the following. The method of creating an alternative processing procedure differs depending on the purpose.

(1) To separate harmful substances / dangerous substances In this case, it is necessary to separate the harmful substances / dangerous substances by using an alternative procedure.

When a plurality of alternative procedure candidates are created or obtained by the processing procedure changing means 6, the processing cost required for each procedure should be calculated and the procedure with the lowest cost should be selected.

(2) In order to separate parts that cannot be processed by the processing equipment of the processing plant (for example, a metal lump such as a compressor of a refrigerator cannot be crushed by an ordinary crusher and must be processed by a dedicated crusher) In this case, if a plurality of alternative procedure candidates are created or obtained by the processing procedure changing means 6, the cost required for each procedure is calculated, and the procedure with the lowest cost is adopted. Should be.

As an example of the alternative procedure, there is a method of crushing a semi-dismantled product in the process of processing or a product to be processed altogether (outsourcing to a factory having facilities that can do so). In this case, it is necessary to confirm that the semi-dismantled product or the harmful or dangerous product is not included based on the processing procedure information acquired in step 652 and the information regarding the product acquired in step 651.

(3) To separate valuables In this case, the processing factory is based on the information on the purchase price of valuables in the market stored in the storage means 3 and the separation processing cost required for the alternative procedure. If there are multiple alternative procedures that are profitable, the procedure with the highest profit should be selected. On the contrary, if there is no profitable procedure, the valuable material will not be separated.

An alternative procedure is determined according to the purpose described above, and the method for determining it will be described below.

(1) Extraction of alternative procedure from part separation procedure information from product information Part separation procedure information from product related information read from the product to be processed or as necessary from storage means 3 Extract and determine the presence or absence of alternative procedures. If there is, it is set as an alternative procedure candidate. For an example of part separation procedure information, refer to D design information (3) Part separation procedure in FIG.

(2) Determining cutting position for cutting If no alternative procedure candidate is found from the part separation procedure information in (1) above, the target part is separated by cutting. For that purpose, the following method is adopted.

(A) From the read information on the product, the position where the part to be separated and the dimensional information are determined, and the position where the part can be cut without damage is determined.
Note that the C-design information (2) dimensional information in FIG. 19 is referred to for an example of the location information and dimensional information of the parts to be separated in the read information on the product.

(B) Incidentally, in determining the cutting position, it is determined whether or not there are other harmful or dangerous parts in the product or the semi-finished product to be processed, and other harmful or dangerous materials are determined. Make sure that there are no parts that are objects.

If it is determined that there are other parts which are harmful substances or dangerous substances, it is determined that the determined harmful substances or dangerous substances are determined from the information on the read product as in the case of the above (a). The location information and dimension information of a certain part are extracted, and then the location information and dimension information of the part to be separated are also extracted, and the location where the relevant part and a part that is a harmful or dangerous material can be cut without being damaged decide. At this time, the cutting area is also calculated.

(Step 660) The output means 5 outputs the alternative processing procedure information determined in step 650.

FIG. 25 shows a schematic structure of the product processing system of this embodiment.

The product processing system of this embodiment comprises a reading means 1 for reading the information added to the product to be processed, and a storage means for storing a database of information necessary for processing the product. 3 and information for processing the product in the database stored in the storage unit 3 based on the information added to the product read by the reading unit 1 to determine the processing procedure for the product. Regarding the processing procedure determination means 4 and the waste product,
The output means 5 that outputs the result determined by the processing determination means 4, the processing procedure changing means 6 that changes the output processing procedure and determines the alternative procedure, the processing procedure determination means 4 and the processing procedure changing means 6 The detection means 7 detects whether or not the processing can be performed according to the processing procedure determined by.

Next, a method of changing the processing procedure in the processing system of this embodiment will be described by taking the product 21 shown in FIG. 26 as an example.

FIG. 26A is an external view of the product 21 as a specific example. FIG. 26 (b) is an exploded view of the product. As shown in FIG. 26, this product is composed of five parts. The breakdown is housing 221, cover 222, substrate 22.
3, battery 224 and screw 225.

FIG. 27 shows the processing procedure of the product 21 previously determined by the processing procedure determining means 4. This processing procedure is determined and output by the same method as the method described in the other embodiment. As shown in FIG. 27, the processing procedure is composed of the following.

(1) Screw removal (2) Cover removal (3) Battery removal, substrate removal In addition, the purpose of this treatment is a harmful battery (including mercury)
Is to separate and separate the substrate (including lead).

FIG. 28 shows a processing image of the product 21 in the processing factory.

The processing procedure previously determined by the processing procedure determination means 4 is output to the processing equipment control means 82 as processing equipment control information by the processing equipment control information output means 52 in the output means 5, and the processing work robot. Control 81.
According to the processing procedure, the processing robot 81 removes the screw 225 of the product 21 to be processed.

A detection means 7 is added to the processing work robot 81 to manage the screw loosening torque of the processing work robot 81. When the detection means 7 detects that the screw cannot be removed even if the screw loosening torque exceeds a certain level, the processing means changing means 6 transmits the information "work cannot be performed according to the processing procedure; screw removal is impossible". To do.
Then, the processing procedure changing means 6 obtains the original purpose of the work that could not be executed from the processing procedure determining means 4 and determines that it is "work for separating harmful substances",
Obtain information that the harmful parts are batteries and boards.

Therefore, under the above-mentioned condition that the product containing a harmful substance must be separated from the harmful substance, the processing procedure changing means 6 is required from the product 21 to be processed or required. According to the above, the separation procedure information of the parts is extracted from the information about the product read from the product specification information database 31 and it is determined whether or not there is an alternative procedure (an example of the separation procedure information of the parts is D design information ( 3)
See the procedure for separating parts). If there is an alternative procedure, it is set as an alternative procedure candidate, and another separation method procedure (method by cutting) is created. From the read information about the product, the position where the component to be separated and the dimensional information are determined, and the position where the component can be cut so as not to damage is determined.
Note that the C-design information (2) dimensional information in FIG. 19 is referred to for an example of the location information and dimensional information of the parts to be separated in the read information on the product.

In this way, the processing procedure changing means 6
Reads or creates one or more alternative procedures.

Next, the processing procedure changing means 6 calculates the processing cost for each of these alternative processing procedures and determines the procedure with the lowest processing cost. The method is
As shown in the other embodiment, (1) processing cost required for the alternative procedure obtained from the separation procedure information of the parts, the separation procedure information of the parts from the read product specification information (design information of FIG. 20; D). (See (3)), and processing operation cost information from the read processing factory specification information (see FIG. 11), and based on them, processing required for the alternative procedure acquired from the separation procedure information of the parts. Calculate the cost.

(2) Processing cost required for the alternative procedure by cutting created by the processing procedure changing means 6 Processing by the cutting machine from the cutting area information calculated above and the read processing factory specification information (see FIG. 11) The operation cost information is acquired, and the processing cost required for the alternative procedure acquired from the part separation procedure information is calculated based on the acquired operation cost information.

(3) The processing costs of the alternative procedure candidates calculated by the above method are compared to determine the cheapest procedure.

Then, the determined alternative procedure is output to the processing equipment control means 82 by the processing equipment control information output means 52. For example, if the determined alternative means is a processing procedure by cutting, the processing equipment control means 82 causes the transfer line 8 to operate.
3 is controlled, the product 21 is conveyed to a process having a cutting machine, and work by the cutting machine is performed.

As one of the storage means 3, the processing result information such as the processing procedure actually executed for the product processed in the processing factory is processed by a code (product name, maker name, model,
A processing result information storage unit 37 is provided for storing and storing together with or in association with a manufacturing number, a manufacturing date, etc. As a result, it is not possible to follow the procedure created as a standard as in the above example, and what is done in other procedures is accumulated, and the procedure after the change is stored for the product in the product specification information database 31. It has a function to add to the separation procedure information. Also, for example, if the same type of product becomes more common after that, (for example, if the standard procedure cannot be performed and the ratio of the number of times performed in the above procedure is counted,
If it exceeds 50%, product specification information database 31
The separation procedure information of the product is provided with a function for changing the changed procedure so that the changed procedure is output first with priority.
This allows for rapid processing.

FIG. 29 shows another embodiment. This is an example in which the detection means 7 is a device including an image capturing device such as a television camera. This is an example of inspecting the state of the product to be processed by using the image information taken by it. In this example, it is recommended to inspect whether or not the casing of the waste product can be reused as a component. The product specification information database stores image information of the abandoned product in a new state. The processing system identifies the model of the waste product, and obtains image information of the product in a new state and specification information (inspection standard) for reuse as a part from the product specification information database. Then, the image information of the abandoned product and the image information of the new state are compared and inspected. For example, the number and size of scratches are detected from the image information. It is necessary for the product to be devised so that the front surface, the upper surface, etc. can be determined. For example, there is an example in which a number is displayed on each surface. For example, the processing system compares the number and size of the detected scratches with the specification information (inspection standard) for reusability as a component, determines the processing method, and determines the processing procedure. For example, if it is determined that there are many scratches and the parts cannot be reused, another processing procedure for recycling as a material is created and output.

[0172]

As described above, the processing system of the present invention can judge and execute proper / appropriate processing of waste products, so that new energy consumption can be saved, the amount of waste can be reduced, harmful substances, etc. It has a great effect on prevention of environmental pollution. Further, by referring to the processing procedure determination procedure of the present invention at the product design stage, there is also an effect that the design of a product that can be easily recycled is promoted.
