Next, a process of manufacturing an activated carbon filter using the block-type activated carbon filter wet manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, in an initial state in which power is applied to the control unit 100, the operation arm 40 rotates in the control unit 100 to move to an initial position (position “A” in FIG. 2) and maintain a stopped state. The rotation drive source 52 of the arm rotation device 50 is controlled so as to do so. At this time, the elevating cylinder 34 maintains a state in which the piston is maximally descended (compressed state) so that the moving table 30 maintains an initial position in a state close to the upper surface of the work table 15, The linear driving source 92 maintains the initial position in which the pressure roller 98 is positioned above the auxiliary table 16 instead of above the liquid storage tank 20, so that the piston moves backward to the maximum (compressed state). while the vacuum pump 72 remains stopped, and the stirring motor 82 operates to perform stirring of the activated carbon solution 4 filled in the liquid storage tank 20 by the stirring blades 86. do.

In the initial state as described above, when the operation signal is applied to the control unit 100 to manufacture the activated carbon filter 8, the arm rotating device 50 rotates according to the control signal of the control unit 100. The driving source 52 operates to rotate the operation arm 40 forward (counterclockwise as seen in FIG. 2), and as the operation arm 40 rotates, the molding jig 60 rotates the liquid storage tank 20 ) to a position where it is submerged into the activated carbon solution (4) filled in.

As described above, when the operating arm 40 is rotated so that the vertical member 41 of the operating arm 40 is in a horizontal state with the ground, the diving position sensor 110 detects this, and the control unit 100 In ), the operation of the rotation drive source 52 of the arm rotation device 50 is controlled to stop according to the detection signal input from the submerged position detection sensor 110. At this time, the molding jig 60 is completely submerged in the activated carbon solution 4 filled in the liquid storage tank 20 (position "B" in FIG. 2), and the upper surface of the molding jig 60 is horizontal with the ground. remain in

As described above, when the molding jig 60 is completely submerged in the activated carbon solution 4, the controller 100 operates the pressure reducing pump 72, and as the pressure reducing pump 72 operates, the molding jig Vacuum pressure is applied to the molding groove 64 of 60, and the activated carbon solution 4 is sucked into the molding groove 64, and the liquid sucked into the molding groove 64 is absorbed into the hollow of the operating arm 40. It is recovered through the shape, the hollow shaft of the rotary shaft 54, the pressure reduction tube 70, and the liquid recovery tube 76.

As described above, when the activated carbon solution 4 is sucked toward the molding groove 64, the activated carbon powder is filtered by the mesh member 65 installed in the molding groove 64 and deposited on the molding groove 64.

Here, by controlling the time the molding jig 60 is immersed in the activated carbon solution 4 while the reduced pressure is maintained, it is possible to control the density and amount of the activated carbon powder stacked in the molding groove 64, and the molded activated carbon It is possible to adjust the thickness and density of the filter 8.

Therefore, the setting of the time during which the molding jig 60 is immersed in the activated carbon solution 4 depends on the size and depth of the molding groove 64, the concentration of the activated carbon solution 4, and the density of the activated carbon filter 8 to be manufactured. It is also possible to input the set term to the control unit 100 in advance.

When the set time elapses in the above state, the control unit 100 operates the lift cylinder 34 to raise the moving table 30, and the molding jig 60 moves above the upper surface of the liquid storage tank 20. When it rises to stop the operation of the lift cylinder (34).

For example, the controller 100 is configured to stop the lifting cylinder 34 when the molding jig 60 rises to the position "C" in FIG. 2 .

At this time, since it is possible to always maintain the "B" position and the "C" position constant in FIG. 2, if the operating stroke length of the lift cylinder 34 is set in advance, the moving platform 30 moves upward. It is also possible not to install a separate sensor for detecting the position.

In addition, if necessary, it is also possible to configure an object detection sensor for detecting the position of the moving platform 30 to be installed on the work table 15 of the frame 10 to control the operation of the lift cylinder 34. .

As described above, when the moving table 30 rises and the forming jig 60 is located at the position "C" in FIG. ) is controlled to move forward and backward a plurality of times while in contact with the upper surface of the molding jig 60.

As described above, when the pressure roller 98 moves forward and backward and makes rolling contact with the upper surface of the molding jig 60, the activated carbon powder stacked on the molding groove 64 by the pressure roller 98 is deposited on the surface of the molding jig 60. It is pressurized to maintain the same height, and it is possible to keep the height of the activated carbon filter 8 produced uniformly, and the surface of the activated carbon filter 8 is formed evenly.

As described above, when the pressure roller 98 reciprocates on the upper surface of the molding jig 60 for a set number of times, the linear drive source 92 causes the pressure roller 98 to completely deviate from the upper surface of the molding jig 60 and the auxiliary table ( 16) Operates backward to the initial position located on the side.

As described above, when the pressure roller 98 moves to the initial position and the linear drive source 92 stops, the control unit 100 operates the rotation motor 52 of the arm rotation device 50 to move the operation arm 40. is rotated counterclockwise (as seen in FIG. 2). At this time, it is also possible to simultaneously implement a process of moving the moving platform 30 to the initial position by operating the lift cylinder 34 in a downward direction.

As described above, the unloading position detection sensor 120 detects that the operating arm 40 rotates and the vertical member 41 becomes horizontal with the ground, and the control unit 100 detects the unloading position detection sensor 120 ), when a detection signal is input, the operation of the rotary motor 52 is stopped and the operation of the pressure reducing pump 72 is stopped.

As described above, when the operation of the pressure reducing pump 72 is stopped, an effect of increasing the pressure from the hollow shape of the operating arm 40 temporarily occurs in the molding groove 64, and the laminated in the molding groove 64 The molded body of the activated carbon filter (8) is separated from the molded groove (64) and loaded onto the molded object unloading table (19).

The controller 100 operates the rotation motor 52 of the arm rotation device 50 again to rotate the operation arm 40 until the molding jig 60 is submerged in the activated carbon solution 4 of the liquid storage tank 20, , the following process is repeated.

When the manufacturing operation of the activated carbon filter 8 is completed and a stop signal is input to the control unit 100, the control unit 100 rotates the rotation motor 52 of the arm rotation device 50 to rotate the operation arm 40. ) is moved to the initial position and controlled to be located, and the operation of the stirring motor 82 is stopped.

In the above, it is also possible to configure the initial position of the operating arm 40 to be controlled by detecting the rotational position of the rotating shaft 54 in the rotational position sensor 130 .

According to the block-type activated carbon filter wet manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to continuously manufacture an activated carbon filter through the above process.

In the above, the preferred embodiment of the block-type activated carbon filter wet manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications are made within the scope of the claims and the description and the accompanying drawings. It is possible, and this also belongs to the scope of the present invention.
