3 is a view showing an implementation of the housing member of the waste aggregate processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 3, the light emitting unit 111 and the light receiving unit 112 may be alternately disposed on the housing member 101. In addition, each light emitting unit 111 may be individually controlled lighting. The incident direction of incident light by each light emitting unit 111 may be represented by an inclined angle of incidence with respect to the normal direction to the waste aggregate 10. For example, the incident light may be incident on all surfaces except the ground aggregate of the waste aggregate 10 and the conveyor belt 1.

Referring to FIG. 3, the light emitting units 111 may be provided in a strip type physically and electrically connected to each other. The light receiving unit 112 may also be provided in a strip type physically and electrically connected to each other.

Referring to FIG. 4, there is a difference between the amount of reflected light (a) in a portion without a contaminant on the waste aggregate and the amount of reflected light (b) in a portion with a contaminant. Therefore, the optical sensor unit 110 may grasp the presence of the contaminant based on the amount of reflected light corresponding to the measured position of the contaminant. In addition, the optical sensor unit 110 may measure an area corresponding to the amount of the contaminant based on the position and number of the set receiving the amount of reflected light having a difference from the amount of reflected light in the portion without the contaminant.

Since the area of the waste aggregate can be measured through the laser unit 121, the contaminant information may include the area of the contaminant compared to the area of the waste aggregate, and the location of the contaminant on the waste aggregate having a predetermined area.

In addition, the types of contaminants can be identified by considering the contaminants on the image and the reflection intensity of each contaminant. The reflection intensity for each contaminant may be stored in the processing type determination unit 130 in advance, and the processing type determination unit 130 may determine the type of contaminants through the reflection intensity as the primary determination. Determination of the type of contaminants through reflection intensity may be made through an artificial neural network described later. In addition, the processing type determining unit 130 may further consider the artificial neural network model and perform a secondary determination on the types of contaminants, which will be described later.

The processing type determination unit 130 calculates the contaminant information by further considering an artificial neural network model that outputs an image of the waste aggregate and outputs the size of the contaminant proportional to the area of the waste aggregate, the location of the contaminant, and the type of the contaminant. can do. The artificial neural network model may be constructed through learning that outputs the size of the contaminant, the location of the contaminant, and the type of the contaminant from the image of the waste aggregate. Learning can be based on supervised learning. Supervised learning means training a model using pre-built training data. Specifically, by inputting an image of a waste aggregate, the size, location, and type of a contaminant from the waste aggregate image are obtained as a result. Can print For example, codes assigned to types of contaminants are set in advance, and codes corresponding to the identified contaminants may be output, and the size of the contaminants may be output in preset units such as cm and mm. In addition, the location of the contaminant may be represented by coordinates on the waste aggregate.

The processing type determination unit 130 may include an artificial neural network model (second model) for primary determination of the aforementioned types of contaminants. Specifically, the second model may be constructed based on learning that takes the reflection intensity as an input and considers the reflection intensity for each contaminant and outputs the type of contaminant as an output. The second model can also be constructed based on supervised learning. The processing type determination unit 130 may finally determine the type of contaminants by synthesizing the type of contaminants using reflection intensity and the type of contaminants using image analysis. For example, when the types of contaminants of the primary judgment and the secondary judgment are different, the contaminant type may be determined to be higher among the respective concordances. The coincidence rate of judgment based on the reflection intensity can be calculated from the difference in reflection intensity for each contaminant, and the coincidence rate of the contaminant type using the image of the waste aggregate can be calculated from the similarity to the learning data based on the image analysis technique.

The processing type determination unit 130 may determine the processing type based on the calculated contaminant information, and determine the processing intensity. The processing type determination unit 130 may generate processing information including processing type and processing intensity. Specifically, the processing type determination unit 130 may generate the processing information by determining the processing type of the contaminant according to the type of the contaminant, and determining the processing intensity based on a preset criterion according to the amount and size of the contaminant, respectively.

In addition, the treatment strength may be different for each treatment type, for example, treatment strength may include water spray strength, aeration strength (adjust the nozzle hole size and air pressure), vibration strength, crushing method, and crushing strength. Can. For example, the intensity of the water jet cleaning can include the size of the water jet nozzle and the intensity of the water jet. The crushing method may be a method in which at least one of a jaw crusher, a cone crusher, a roll crusher, and an impact crusher is applied. For example, sludge and sludge contaminants may be treated in a chemical-based aeration tank washing treatment device, and in the case of soil, it is preferred to be treated in a water jet washing treatment device. As such, the processing type determination unit 130 may determine the processing method through the processing device for each contaminant, and may determine the processing intensity according to the size and amount of the contaminants.

The processing type determining unit 130 may determine the processing intensity according to the reflected light amount of the reflected light received by the light receiving unit 112. For example, in the case of a waste aggregate in which asbestos is accumulated, the amount of asbestos can be grasped from the amount of reflected light, and the intensity of water spray washing can be determined according to the amount of asbestos. Further, the processing apparatus may process the waste aggregate based on the processing information.
