2, the recovery unit 140 includes a housing 141 having an inlet 141a and a discharge opening 141b formed on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the housing 141 and an outlet 141b on the side of the outlet 141b of the housing 141 An evaporator 143 provided at the inlet 141a of the housing 141 to condense the deoxidized liquid evaporated by the heater 142, And a circulation fan 144 provided inside the housing 141.

The recovery unit 140 is operated after the deoxidized liquid supplied to the chamber 110 is discharged to the deoxygenation tank 120 through the first recovery channel 20 or the second recovery channel 30 . That is, the recovery unit 140 collects the deoxidized solution impregnated into the document or the deoxidized solution remaining in the chamber 110 in a gaseous state, condenses it into a liquid state, and supplies the deoxidized solution to the deacidified liquid tank 120 do.

The evaporation of the evaporation gas in the chamber 110 by the operation of the circulation fan 144, Deoxidized liquid can be collected at the inlet 141a of the housing 141 through the collecting passage 50. [

The gaseous deoxidized liquid collected at the inlet 141a of the housing 141 is condensed by the evaporator 143 and may be introduced into a recovery port 141c provided at the lower portion of the housing 141. [ The deodorant liquid condensed by the evaporator 143 is supplied to the deoxidizing liquid tank 120 through the third recovery flow path 70, And may be recovered to the deacidifying liquid tank 120 through the recovery port 141c and the third recovery flow path 70 in order.

Since the deoxidized liquid supplied to the chamber 110 has a high volatility, the temperature of the chamber 110 drops sharply during vaporization. At this time, when the temperature of the chamber 110 is lowered, the chamber 110 can not maintain a temperature condition suitable for deacidification to vaporize, so that there is a problem that the recovery rate of the deoxidized liquid is lowered.

Therefore, it is preferable to keep the temperature of the chamber 110 constant by the hot air generated by the heater 142, on condition that the deoxidized liquid vaporizes.

In addition, the chamber 110 may be provided with a chamber temperature sensor 111 for sensing an internal temperature.

The control unit 160 controls the temperature of the recovery unit 140 sensed by the temperature sensor unit 150 and the temperature of the interior of the chamber 110 sensed by the chamber temperature sensor 111, The evaporator 143 and the circulation fan 144 of the recovery unit 140 and the operation of the cooler 145 and the pump P can be controlled.

That is, when the internal temperature of the chamber 110 falls below the set value or rises above the set value, the controller 160 cuts off the power supplied to the recovery unit 140 and the pump P, It can be stopped. The control unit 160 may be connected to the power recovery unit 140, the cooler 145, and a power unit (not shown) that supplies power to the pump.

The control unit 160 generates an alarm signal when the internal temperature of the chamber 110 falls below a predetermined value (for example, 20 degrees or less) or rises to a predetermined value or more (for example, 36 degrees or more) . At this time, the main body accommodating the chamber 110 may be provided with a buzzer or an alarm lamp for receiving an alarm signal from the controller 160.

That is, the first temperature sensor 151 of the temperature sensor unit 150 detects the temperature of the evaporator 143 when the second temperature sensor 152 detects a malfunction, 143). ≪ / RTI >

In other words, when the temperature of the evaporator 143 sensed by the second temperature sensor 152 is maintained at the set value, the control unit 160 determines that the amount of deoxidized liquid stored in the deoxidized liquid tank 120 It is determined that a problem has occurred in the second temperature sensor 152 and the abnormality of the evaporator 143 can be determined based on the temperature value provided from the first temperature sensor 151 have.

The level sensor 121 senses the level of deacidified liquid stored in the deacidified liquid tank 120 from the level of the deacidified liquid stored in the deacidified liquid tank 120, (160).

The controller 160 compares the level value transmitted from the level voucher 121 with the temperature value transmitted by the first temperature sensor 151 and outputs the comparison result to the second temperature sensor 152 or the evaporator 143) can be determined.

The control unit 160 receives the temperature of the discharge port 141b of the housing 110 from the fourth temperature sensor 154 of the temperature sensor unit 150 to determine whether the heater 142 is abnormal . That is, the fourth temperature sensor 154 of the temperature sensor unit 150 detects the temperature of the heater 142 when the third temperature sensor 153 senses the temperature of the heater 142, Can be used as another means of gauging the temperature of the reactor.

In other words, if the temperature of the chamber 110 is lower than the set value even though the temperature of the heater 142 sensed by the third temperature sensor 153 maintains the set value, the third temperature sensor 153 It is possible to determine whether or not the heater 142 is abnormal based on the temperature value provided from the fourth temperature sensor 154. [

The control unit 160 compares the temperature of the gas introduced into the inlet 141a of the housing 141 and the temperature of the gas discharged to the outlet 141b to determine the operation state of the recovery unit 140 Can be determined. That is, the first temperature sensor 151 and the fourth temperature sensor 154 determine whether the set high temperature air is discharged to the discharge port 141b, and the discharged air is thermally sensed and flowing through the inlet 141a. . ≪ / RTI >

The inlet 141a and the outlet 141b of the housing 141 may be provided with a differential pressure sensor 155 for checking whether the circulation fan 144 is abnormal.

The differential pressure sensor 155 can measure the pressures of the inlet 141a and the outlet 141b and transmit the measured pressure to the controller 160 when the circulating fan 144 is operated. The control unit 160 may compare the pressure value provided by the differential pressure sensor 155 with a predetermined pressure value to check whether the circulation fan 144 is abnormal or not, The operation of the recovery unit 140 and the pump P can be stopped.

Meanwhile, the control unit 160 may control the operation of the circulation fan 144 such that the circulation fan 144 does not operate or an abnormality such as overheating of the heater 142 or over-cooling of the evaporator 143, It is possible not only to stop the operation of the component device in which the abnormality occurs but also to stop the operation of all the components at the same time and to generate an alarm. That is, when the control unit 160 determines that any one of the heater 142, the evaporator 143, the circulating fan 144, and the pump P has generated an abnormality, . For example, the controller 160 controls the heater 142, the evaporator 143, the circulation fan 144, and the circulation fan 144 in a state in which the circulation fan 144 is inoperable or abnormal, And the pump P can be stopped to prevent the heater 142 and the chamber 110 from overheating.

The control unit 160 controls the operation states of all the drive units such as the recovery unit 140 and the pump P and the operation states of the plurality of valves V1 to V6, Based on the temperature value sensed by the temperature sensor unit 150, it is possible to determine whether or not there is an abnormality in the deoxidation apparatus, and to carry out the safety check of the second to third aspects.

3, the cartridge 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiving part 210 forming a space in which a plurality of documents can be accommodated, And a cover 220 that is detachably coupled in a sliding manner.

The accommodating portion 210 may have a shape of an enclosure opened at an upper portion and may be formed in a shape of an enclosure as a plurality of perforated plates 211 are interconnected by fastening means such as bolts and nuts.

In the atmospheric pressure maintaining step (S10), the cartridge 200 in which a document is stored can be put into the internal space of the chamber 110. [ The solenoid valve V5 (see FIG. 1) provided in the air vent of the chamber 110 is opened to exhaust the inner space formed in the inner space of the chamber 110 to the outside, As shown in FIG.

The deacidifying solution supplying step (S20) may be a step of supplying the deoxidized solution stored in the deacidifying solution tank 120 to the chamber 110. [

In the deacidified liquid supply step S20, the pump P is operated in a state in which the first valve V1 provided in the supply passage 10 is opened to pump the deoxidized liquid stored in the deacidified liquid tank 120 .

At this time, in order to smoothly supply the deoxidized liquid, the solenoid valve V6 (see FIG. 1) provided in the deacidified liquid tank 120 is opened to discharge the air formed inside the deoxidized liquid tank 120 to the outside. In addition, the operation of the pump can be confirmed through the level sensor 121.

 For reference, the immersion time of the document in the deoxygenation solution may be about 20 minutes.

The third valve V3 is opened even when the deoxidized liquid is supplied to the chamber 110 so that the deoxidized liquid discharged to the overflow 110b flows through the second recovering passage 30 again, And can be recovered to the liquid tank 120.

The deoxidized liquid supplied to the chamber 110 may be recovered to the deoxygenation tank 120 via the first recovery flow path 20 and the second recovery flow path 30. When the deoxidized liquid supplied to the chamber 110 is recovered to the deoxygenating tank 120, the deoxidation tank 120 may be maintained in a vacuum state so that the inside of the chamber 110 and the deoxidation tank 120 are not maintained in a vacuum state. The valves V5 and V6 are opened to allow the deoxidized liquid to be recovered smoothly.

In the first recovery step S30, the amount of the deoxidized liquid recovered to the deoxidation liquid tank 120 may be checked through the level line 121 provided in the deoxidation liquid tank 120. [ When the first recovery is completed, the second valve (V2) and the third valve (V3) can be shut off.

The second recovery step S40 may be a step of recovering the deoxidized solution impregnated into the document or the deoxidized solution remaining in the chamber 110 by using the recovery unit 140. [

The second collecting step S40 may include a collecting step S41 of collecting vaporized deoxidized liquid using the circulating fan 144 and a step of supplying hot air to the chamber 110 using the heater 142 , And a condensing step (S45) for condensing gaseous deacidified liquid collected in the collecting step (S41) using the evaporator (143).

In the collecting step S41, the circulating fan 144 of the collecting unit 140 is operated to collect the gaseous deoxidized liquid evaporated in the chamber 110. That is, when the circulation fan 144 is operated, the deoxidized liquid existing in the gaseous state inside the chamber 110 flows into the inlet 141a of the housing 141 via the collecting flow path 50 have.

In the drying step S43, the heater 142 of the collecting unit 140 may be operated to supply the hot air to the inside of the chamber 110. That is, when the heater 142 is operated, the hot air can be transmitted to the inner space of the chamber 110 through the drying channel 60.

In this case, the deoxidized liquid impregnated in the document disposed in the chamber 110 can be more smoothly evaporated, and the chamber 110 can be prevented from being subcooled in the process of vaporizing the deoxidized liquid.

It is preferable that the drying step (S43) is performed simultaneously with the collecting step (S41) rather than after the collecting step (S41). That is, the circulation fan 144 and the heater 142 are preferably operated simultaneously.

The condensing step S45 may be a step of activating the evaporator 143 of the recovery unit 140 to cool and condense the gaseous deoxidized liquid flowing into the inlet 141a of the housing 141 have.

The deoxidized liquid condensed by the evaporator 143 in the condensing step S45 may be recovered to the deacidifying liquid tank 120 via the third recovering flow path 70. [ At this time, in order to prevent the internal space of the chamber 110 from being evacuated, the solenoid valve V5 may be opened to smoothly recover the gaseous deoxidized liquid.

In order to remove the heat of condensation formed in the inner space of the chamber 110, a condensation heat removing step of operating only the circulation fan 144 of the recovery unit 140 for about 5 minutes may be performed.

Then, the recovery operation of the spatially deoxidized liquid is completed on the document placed inside the chamber 110, and finally the cartridge 200 in which the deoxidized document is stored in the chamber 110 can be taken out. At this time, the operation of the heater 142 of the recovery unit 140, the evaporator 143 and the circulation fan 144 is stopped, and the solenoid valve V5, which was opened in the condensing step S45, have. The operation of the cooler 145 for transferring the refrigerant to the evaporator 143 is also stopped.

Meanwhile, the second recovery step S40 may further include a diffusion step S44.

The diffusing step S44 may be a step of diffusing the hot air supplied to the chamber 110 into the inner space of the chamber 110 in the drying step S43, As shown in FIG.

Meanwhile, the document deoxidation method using the document deoxidation apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a circulation step S5.

The circulation step S5 may be a step of preventing sedimentation of the deoxidized liquid stored in the deacidified liquid tank 120. [ That is, in the circulation step S5, the first valve (V1) provided in the supply passage (10) is shut off and the fourth valve (V4) provided in the circulation passage (40) ).

The deoxidized liquid discharged from the discharge port 120a of the deacidified liquid tank 120 is circulated to the deoxidized liquid tank 120 through the supply passage 10 and the circulating flow passage 40, Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the magnesium oxide contained in the deoxidized liquid from depositing on the bottom surface of the deacidified liquid tank 120.

The circulation step S5 may be performed before the deoxidized liquid supplying step S20 in which the deoxidized liquid is supplied to the chamber 110. Preferably, the circulating step S5 may include an atmospheric pressure maintaining step of discharging the inside of the chamber 110 to the outside (S10), and it is best to be continuously performed even after the second collecting step (S40) is finished.

When the circulation step S5 is performed before the deoxidized liquid supply step S20, the pump P is operated for about 5 minutes to circulate the deoxidized liquid, and after the second collection step S40 It is preferable that the pump P is repeatedly operated for a period of about 8 hours to 9 hours on a daily basis so that the deoxidized liquid circulates so that the deoxidation liquid tank 120 and the deoxidation liquid tank The operation time and the operation cycle of the pump P may be changed according to the amount of the deoxidizing solution stored in the deoxidizing unit 120.

Meanwhile, the second recovery step S40 may be repeated in the same manner again after about 3 to 4 hours. The reason why the second recovery step S40 is repeated after a predetermined period of time is that the deoxidized liquid scattered in the inner space of the deacidified liquid tank 120 is allowed to sink to the bottom of the deacidified liquid tank 120 to be. That is, after the time when the scattered deoxidized liquid is collected, it is preferable that the second recovery step (S40) is repeated to increase the recovery rate of the deoxidized liquid.

Meanwhile, the document deoxidation method using the document deoxidation apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention compares a temperature value transmitted from the temperature sensor unit 150 with a temperature value transmitted from the chamber temperature sensor 111 And detecting the temperature of the recovery unit 140 and the temperature of the chamber 111 in real time.

The sensing step S7 may be performed during the deoxidized solution supplying step S20 and the second collecting step S40, and the evaporator 143, the heater 142 ), The presence or absence of abnormality of the circulating fan 144, and the presence or absence of abnormality of the chamber 111.

That is, the sensing step S7 may be implemented by the control unit 160. The sensing unit S7 may be implemented by the controller 160, and the first to fourth temperature sensors 151 to 154 and the differential pressure sensor It is possible to confirm whether the chamber 111 is undercooled or overheated by confirming the abnormality of the recovery unit 140 through the circulation pump 155 and the overheating of the heater 142 and the supercooling of the evaporator 143 Can be identified.
