Description
本発明は、用紙再生印刷装置、印刷装置および用紙再生装置に関する。
The present invention relates to a paper reproduction printing apparatus, a printing apparatus, and a paper reproduction apparatus.
資源活用の観点から紙のリサイクルは広く一般的になってきているが、従来は集積された古紙を、工業的に再生紙として製造するものであった。しかし、近年、事業所内で印刷され、廃却される書類を、事業所内で再生紙に形成し、印刷機へ印刷用紙として投入する技術、装置が開示されている(特許文献1~3)。
Paper recycling has become widespread from the viewpoint of resource utilization, but in the past, accumulated waste paper has been industrially produced as recycled paper. However, in recent years, a technique and an apparatus have been disclosed in which a document printed and discarded in a business office is formed on recycled paper in the business office and is input to a printing machine as printing paper (Patent Documents 1 to 3).
特許文献1から3に開示された発明は、いずれも印刷済みの用紙、いわゆる古紙をリサイクルする装置から再生紙を直接、印刷装置へ供給する複合装置であり、古紙リサイクルと、再生紙への印刷とが連続的に行うことを可能としている。
The inventions disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are all composite devices that supply recycled paper directly from a device that recycles printed paper, so-called waste paper, to the printing device. Recycling waste paper and printing on recycled paper Can be performed continuously.
特許文献1から3に開示された装置における古紙再生の手法は、被記録媒体(用紙)表面に付着させたトナーと呼ばれる記録媒体を物理的に除去することで、新たな印刷を可能とする被記録媒体を製造するものであった。これに対して、古紙を繊維状まで粉砕し、新たな用紙を製造することができる小規模装置が提案されているが、この場合、投入される古紙を連続的に再生工程に投入し、装置を連続稼働させることで、再生紙の品質の安定化と、高い生産性を得ることができる。
The methods for recycling used paper in the apparatuses disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 physically remove the recording medium called toner attached to the surface of the recording medium (paper), thereby enabling new printing. The recording medium was manufactured. On the other hand, a small-scale device has been proposed that can pulverize waste paper into fibers and produce new paper. In this case, the used paper is continuously fed into the recycling process, and the device By continuously operating, the quality of recycled paper can be stabilized and high productivity can be obtained.
上述する装置の連続稼働によって、印刷装置の用紙トレイ等には、再生装置から連続的に再生紙が供給されることとなる。一方、印刷装置は断続的に使われることが常態であるので、用紙トレイに貯蔵されていた再生紙が、印刷するために用紙ピックアップ手段に保持されると略同時に、再生装置から用紙トレイに再生紙が供給される場合が有り得る。その場合、2枚の用紙の用紙錯綜を原因とするジャムの発生の虞があった。
By the continuous operation of the above-described apparatus, recycled paper is continuously supplied from the reproducing apparatus to the paper tray or the like of the printing apparatus. On the other hand, since the printing device is normally used intermittently, the recycled paper stored in the paper tray is recycled from the reproducing device to the paper tray almost simultaneously with being held by the paper pickup means for printing. It is possible that paper is supplied. In that case, there is a risk of jamming due to the complication of the two sheets.
また、特許文献1から3に開示された発明では、印刷装置へ印刷用の用紙として再生紙を供給するものであるが、印刷用途以外の用途、例えば、他の印刷機の印刷に供する再生紙であったり、手書きメモ用の用紙であったり、と、再生紙そのものとして供される場合もある。その際、特許文献1から3に開示された発明では、装置で再生された再生紙は、印刷装置へ印刷用の用紙として印刷用紙供給部の用紙カセットあるいは用紙トレイに格納される。そのため、印刷用途以外に再生紙を提供する場合には、印刷装置を一旦停止させ、更には用紙再生装置も停止させた上で、用紙カセットあるいは用紙トレイから再生紙を必要数、取り出すこととなる。すなわち、印刷装置、あるいは用紙再生装置の停止が実行され、作業効率が著しく低下してしまう問題があった。
In the inventions disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, recycled paper is supplied to a printing apparatus as printing paper. However, recycled paper used for printing in other printing machines, for example, for printing applications other than printing. In some cases, it may be used as recycled paper itself, such as paper for handwritten memos. At that time, in the inventions disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, recycled paper regenerated by the apparatus is stored in a paper cassette or a paper tray of a printing paper supply unit as printing paper to the printing apparatus. Therefore, when providing recycled paper for purposes other than printing, the printing apparatus is temporarily stopped, and further the paper recycling apparatus is stopped, and then the necessary number of recycled paper is taken out from the paper cassette or the paper tray. . That is, there is a problem that the printing apparatus or the paper recycling apparatus is stopped and the working efficiency is remarkably lowered.
これらのことで、印刷装置、あるいは用紙再生装置の停止が実行され、作業効率を著しく低下させることになる。そこで、本発明は、用紙錯綜によるジャムの発生が防止され、用紙再生装置を連続的に稼働させることを可能とし、印刷装置を稼働させながらも印刷に供しない再生紙の製造を可能とする用紙再生印刷装置を提供する。
For these reasons, the printing apparatus or the paper recycling apparatus is stopped, and the work efficiency is significantly reduced. Accordingly, the present invention prevents the occurrence of jamming due to paper complications, enables the paper recycling apparatus to be operated continuously, and enables the production of recycled paper that is not used for printing while operating the printing apparatus. A reproduction printing apparatus is provided.
本発明は、上述の課題の少なくとも一部を解決するためになされたものであり、再生紙を貯蔵させることで用紙再生装置を連続的に稼働させることを可能とし、印刷装置を稼働させながらも印刷に供しない再生紙の製造を可能とする用紙再生印刷装置を得ることを目的とする。
The present invention has been made to solve at least a part of the above-described problems, and allows a paper recycling apparatus to be operated continuously by storing recycled paper, while operating a printing apparatus. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper recycling printing apparatus that can manufacture recycled paper that is not subjected to printing.

Accordingly, the recycled paper (printed recycled paper Pr1) manufactured under the first condition and the recycled paper (recycled paper Pr2) manufactured under the second condition have a paper texture (degree of fiber texture leveling), thickness, Hardness / hardness, color, sheet characteristics, etc. are different.
用紙再生印刷装置1000は、貯蔵部300と印刷部500との間に、搬送部400が備えられている。貯蔵部300に備える新規用紙Pnが貯蔵される用紙貯蔵部310と、印刷再生紙Pr1が貯蔵される第1の再生紙貯蔵部320と、からは、搬送部400によって新規用紙Pnもしくは印刷再生紙Pr1が取り出され、印刷部500へ搬送される。一方、貯蔵部300に備える印刷に供されない再生紙Pr2が貯蔵されている第2の再生紙貯蔵部330からは、例えばオペレーター(人)によって、直接、貯蔵された再生紙Pr2が外部から取り出される。
The paper recycling printing apparatus 1000 includes a transport unit 400 between the storage unit 300 and the printing unit 500. The storage unit 300 includes a paper storage unit 310 that stores new paper Pn, and a first recycled paper storage unit 320 that stores printed recycled paper Pr1. Pr1 is taken out and conveyed to the printing unit 500. On the other hand, from the second recycled paper storage unit 330 that stores the recycled paper Pr2 that is not used for printing provided in the storage unit 300, the stored recycled paper Pr2 is directly taken out from the outside by, for example, an operator (person). .
再生紙Pr2は、上述したように印刷に供されない、例えば、他の印刷機の印刷に供する再生紙であったり、手書きメモ用の用紙であったり、と、様々な形態が考えられる。また、後述する用紙再生部100では、無色(白色)の再生紙に限定されず、用紙再生部100内で着色することも可能であることから、有色の再生紙を製造することもでき、印刷用としてではなく装飾用であったり、折り紙用であったりと、印刷以外の多様な用途に提供することができる。従って、再生紙Pr2は用紙再生印刷装置1000に備える印刷部500には供給されず、外部からの取り出し可能な第2の再生紙貯蔵部330に供給される供給経路が設定される。
As described above, the recycled paper Pr2 can be used in various forms, such as recycled paper that is used for printing by another printing machine, or paper for handwritten memos. Further, the paper recycling unit 100 described later is not limited to colorless (white) recycled paper, and can be colored in the paper recycling unit 100, so that colored recycled paper can be manufactured and printed. It can be provided for various uses other than printing, for example, for decoration purposes and for origami. Therefore, the recycled paper Pr2 is not supplied to the printing unit 500 provided in the paper recycling printing apparatus 1000, and a supply path to be supplied to the second recycled paper storage unit 330 that can be taken out from the outside is set.
搬送部400は、用紙貯蔵部310から新規用紙Pnを取り出す第1の取出し手段411と、第1の再生紙貯蔵部320から印刷再生紙Pr1を取り出す第2の取出し手段412と、を備えている。第1の取出し手段411が取り出した新規用紙Pn、あるいは第2の取出し手段412が取り出した印刷再生紙Pr1は、詳細は図示しない搬送手段420によって、搬送部400の用紙供給部400aまで搬送される。搬送部400の搬送手段420は、例えば、ローラーやベルトを有して構成されたものである。
The transport unit 400 includes a first take-out unit 411 that takes out a new paper Pn from the paper storage unit 310, and a second take-out unit 412 that takes out the printed recycled paper Pr1 from the first recycled paper storage unit 320. . The new paper Pn taken out by the first take-out means 411 or the printed recycled paper Pr1 taken out by the second take-out means 412 is transported to the paper supply section 400a of the transport section 400 by the transport means 420 not shown in detail. . The transport unit 420 of the transport unit 400 is configured to include, for example, a roller or a belt.
搬送部400によって用紙貯蔵部310から新規用紙Pn、あるいは第1の再生紙貯蔵部320から印刷再生紙Pr1が、用紙供給部400aより用紙取入れ部500aに供給され、印刷部500において所定の記録情報が印刷され、印刷物排出部500bから印刷物Ppが排出される。印刷物排出部500bから排出された印刷物Ppは、印刷物貯蔵部600に排出、貯蔵され、オペレーター(人)によって用紙再生印刷装置1000から取り出される。なお、本実施形態では印刷部500と、印刷物貯蔵部600と、は独立した構成として例示しているが、印刷部500に一体的に印刷物貯蔵部600を構成してもよい。
The transport unit 400 supplies a new paper Pn from the paper storage unit 310 or a printed recycled paper Pr1 from the first recycled paper storage unit 320 to the paper take-in unit 500a from the paper supply unit 400a. Is printed, and the printed material Pp is discharged from the printed material discharging unit 500b. The printed material Pp discharged from the printed material discharging unit 500b is discharged and stored in the printed material storage unit 600, and is taken out from the paper recycling printing apparatus 1000 by an operator (person). In this embodiment, the printing unit 500 and the printed material storage unit 600 are illustrated as independent configurations, but the printed material storage unit 600 may be integrated with the printing unit 500.
図2は本実施形態に係る用紙再生印刷装置1000に備える用紙再生部100の概略構成を示す構成図である。図2に示すように、用紙再生部100は、古紙供給部100aと、製造部110と、制御部120と、を備える。製造部110は、印刷再生紙Pr1あるいは再生紙Pr2を製造する。製造部110は、粗砕部10と、解繊部20と、選別部30と、第1ウェブ形成部40と、回転体45と、混合部50と、堆積部60と、第2ウェブ形成部70と、シート形成部80と、切断部90と、を有している。
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of the paper reproduction unit 100 provided in the paper reproduction printing apparatus 1000 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the paper recycling unit 100 includes a used paper supply unit 100a, a manufacturing unit 110, and a control unit 120. The manufacturing unit 110 manufactures the printed recycled paper Pr1 or the recycled paper Pr2. The manufacturing unit 110 includes a crushing unit 10, a defibrating unit 20, a sorting unit 30, a first web forming unit 40, a rotating body 45, a mixing unit 50, a depositing unit 60, and a second web forming unit. 70, a sheet forming unit 80, and a cutting unit 90.
古紙供給部100aは、粗砕部10に古紙Puを供給する。古紙供給部100aは、例えば、粗砕部10に古紙Puを連続的に投入するための自動投入部である。古紙供給部100aによって供給される古紙Puは、古紙には限定されず、例えば、パルプシートなどの繊維を含むものであればよい。
The used paper supply unit 100 a supplies the used paper Pu to the crushing unit 10. The used paper supply unit 100a is, for example, an automatic input unit for continuously inputting used paper Pu to the crushing unit 10. The used paper Pu supplied by the used paper supply unit 100a is not limited to used paper, and may be any paper including fibers such as pulp sheets.
粗砕部10は、古紙供給部100aによって供給された古紙Puを、空気中で裁断して細片にする。細片の形状や大きさは、例えば、数cm角の細片である。図示の例では、粗砕部10は、粗砕刃11を有し、粗砕刃11によって、投入された原料を裁断することができる。粗砕部10としては、例えば、シュレッダーを用いることができる。粗砕部10によって裁断された古紙Puは、解繊部20に備えるホッパー21で受けてから管22を介して、解繊装置部23に移送(搬送)される。
The crushing unit 10 cuts the used paper Pu supplied by the used paper supply unit 100a into pieces by cutting in the air. The shape and size of the strip is, for example, a strip of several cm square. In the illustrated example, the crushing unit 10 has a crushing blade 11, and the charged raw material can be cut by the crushing blade 11. As the crushing part 10, a shredder can be used, for example. The used paper Pu cut by the crushing unit 10 is received by a hopper 21 provided in the defibrating unit 20 and then transferred (conveyed) to the defibrating device unit 23 through the tube 22.
解繊装置部23は、粗砕部10によって裁断された原料を解繊する。ここで、本明細書における「解繊する」とは、複数の繊維が結着されることで形成されている被解繊物としての古紙Puを、繊維1本1本に解きほぐすことをいう。解繊装置部23は、原料に付着した樹脂粒やインク、トナー、にじみ防止剤等の物質を、繊維から分離させる機能をも有する。
The defibrating device unit 23 defibrates the raw material cut by the crushing unit 10. Here, “defibrating” in the present specification refers to unwinding the used paper Pu as a material to be defibrated formed by binding a plurality of fibers into one fiber. The defibrating device section 23 also has a function of separating substances such as resin particles, ink, toner, and a bleeding inhibitor adhering to the raw material from the fibers.
解繊装置部23を通過したものを「解繊物」という。「解繊物」には、解きほぐされた解繊物繊維の他に、繊維を解きほぐす際に繊維から分離した樹脂(複数の繊維同士を結着させるための樹脂)粒や、インク、トナーなどの色剤や、にじみ防止材、紙力増強剤等の添加剤を含んでいる場合もある。
The material that has passed through the defibrating device 23 is referred to as “defibrated material”. In addition to the defibrated fibers that have been unraveled, the “defibrated material” includes resin particles (resins that bind multiple fibers together), ink, toner, etc. In some cases, additives such as colorants, anti-bleeding materials, and paper strength enhancing agents are included.
解繊装置部23は、溶剤、水などを使用せず、大気中(空気中)において、所謂乾式で解繊を行う。具体的には、解繊装置部23としては、インペラーミルを用いる。解繊装置部23は、原料を吸引し、解繊物を排出するような気流を発生させる機能を有している。これにより、解繊装置部23は、自ら発生する気流によって、導入口23aから原料を気流と共に吸引し、解繊処理して、解繊物を排出口23bへと搬送することができる。解繊装置部23を通過した解繊物は、管31を介して、選別部30に移送される。なお、解繊装置部23から選別部30に解繊物を搬送させるための気流は、解繊装置部23において発生する気流を利用してもよいし、ブロアー等の気流発生装置を設け、その気流を利用してもよい。
The defibrating unit 23 performs defibrating in a so-called dry method in the atmosphere (in the air) without using a solvent, water, or the like. Specifically, an impeller mill is used as the defibrating device unit 23. The defibrating device unit 23 has a function of generating an air current that sucks the raw material and discharges the defibrated material. Thereby, the defibrating apparatus unit 23 can suck the raw material together with the airflow from the introduction port 23a by the airflow generated by itself, defibrate, and transport the defibrated material to the discharge port 23b. The defibrated material that has passed through the defibrating device unit 23 is transferred to the sorting unit 30 via the pipe 31. In addition, as the airflow for transporting the defibrated material from the defibrating device unit 23 to the sorting unit 30, an airflow generated in the defibrating device unit 23 may be used, or an airflow generating device such as a blower is provided, Airflow may be used.
選別部30は、管31を介して解繊部20により解繊された解繊物を導入口32から選別装置部33に導入し、繊維の長さによって選別する。選別装置部33としては、例えば、篩(ふるい)を用いる。選別装置部33は、網(フィルター、スクリーン)を有し、網の目開きの大きさより小さい繊維または粒子(網を通過するもの、第1選別物)と、網の目開きの大きさより大きい繊維や未解繊片やダマ(網を通過しないもの、第2選別物)と、を分けることができる。例えば、第1選別物は、管44を介して、混合部50に移送される。第2選別物は、排出口34から管35を介して、解繊部20に戻される。具体的には、選別装置部33は、モーターによって回転駆動される円筒の篩である。選別装置部33の網としては、例えば、金網、切れ目が入った金属板を引き延ばしたエキスパンドメタル、金属板にプレス機等で穴を形成したパンチングメタルを用いる。
The sorting unit 30 introduces the defibrated material defibrated by the defibrating unit 20 through the pipe 31 into the sorting device unit 33 from the introduction port 32, and sorts the defibrated material according to the length of the fiber. As the sorting device unit 33, for example, a sieve is used. The sorting device section 33 has a net (filter, screen), fibers or particles smaller than the mesh size of the mesh (one that passes through the mesh, the first sort), and fibers larger than the mesh size of the mesh. And undefibrated pieces and lumps (those that do not pass through the net, second sort). For example, the first selection is transferred to the mixing unit 50 via the pipe 44. The second selected item is returned to the defibrating unit 20 from the discharge port 34 via the pipe 35. Specifically, the sorting device unit 33 is a cylindrical sieve that is rotationally driven by a motor. As the net of the sorting unit 33, for example, a metal net, an expanded metal obtained by extending a cut metal plate, or a punching metal in which a hole is formed in the metal plate by a press machine or the like is used.
第1ウェブ形成部40は、選別部30を通過した第1選別物を、混合部50に搬送する。第1ウェブ形成部40は、メッシュベルト41と、張架ローラー42と、吸引部(サクション機構)43と、を含む。
1st web formation part 40 conveys the 1st sorting thing which passed sorting part 30 to mixing part 50. The first web forming unit 40 includes a mesh belt 41, a stretching roller 42, and a suction unit (suction mechanism) 43.
吸引部43は、選別部30の開口(網の開口)を通過して空気中に分散された第1選別物をメッシュベルト41上に吸引することができる。第1選別物は、吸引部43によって選別部30から吸引され、移動するメッシュベルト41上に堆積し、ウェブVを形成する。メッシュベルト41、張架ローラー42および吸引部43の基本的な構成と、後述する第2ウェブ形成部70のメッシュベルト71、張架ローラー72および吸引部(サクション機構)73と、は同様である。
The suction unit 43 can suck the first sorted material dispersed in the air through the opening (opening of the mesh) of the sorting unit 30 onto the mesh belt 41. The first sorted matter is sucked from the sorting unit 30 by the suction unit 43 and is deposited on the moving mesh belt 41 to form the web V. The basic configuration of the mesh belt 41, the stretching roller 42, and the suction unit 43 is the same as the mesh belt 71, the stretching roller 72, and the suction unit (suction mechanism) 73 of the second web forming unit 70 described later. .
ウェブVは、選別部30および第1ウェブ形成部40を経ることにより、空気を多く含み柔らかくふくらんだ状態に形成される。メッシュベルト41に堆積されたウェブVは、管44へ投入され、混合部50へと搬送される。
The web V is formed in a soft and swelled state with a lot of air by passing through the sorting unit 30 and the first web forming unit 40. The web V deposited on the mesh belt 41 is put into the pipe 44 and conveyed to the mixing unit 50.
回転体45は、ウェブVが混合部50に搬送される前に、ウェブVを切断することができる。図示の例では、回転体45は、基部45aと、基部45aから突出している突部45bと、を有している。突部45bは、例えば、板状の形状を有している。図示の例では、突部45bは4つ設けられ、4つの突部45bが等間隔に設けられている。基部45aが方向Rに回転することにより、突部45bは、基部45aを軸として回転することができる。回転体45によってウェブVを切断することにより、例えば、後述する堆積部60に供給される単位時間当たりの解繊物の量の変動を小さくすることができる。
The rotating body 45 can cut the web V before the web V is conveyed to the mixing unit 50. In the illustrated example, the rotator 45 includes a base 45a and a protrusion 45b protruding from the base 45a. The protrusion 45b has, for example, a plate shape. In the illustrated example, four protrusions 45b are provided, and the four protrusions 45b are provided at equal intervals. When the base 45a rotates in the direction R, the protrusion 45b can rotate around the base 45a. By cutting the web V by the rotating body 45, for example, it is possible to reduce fluctuations in the amount of defibrated material per unit time supplied to the deposition unit 60 described later.
混合部50は、選別部30を通過し、第1ウェブ形成部40により搬送された第1選別物と、結着樹脂粉体と、を混合する。混合部50は、結着樹脂粉体を供給する粉体供給装置51と、第1選別物と結着樹脂粉体とを搬送する管52と、ブロアー53と、を有している。管52は、管44と連続している。
The mixing unit 50 mixes the first sorted product that has passed through the sorting unit 30 and is conveyed by the first web forming unit 40 with the binder resin powder. The mixing unit 50 includes a powder supply device 51 that supplies the binder resin powder, a pipe 52 that conveys the first selected material and the binder resin powder, and a blower 53. The tube 52 is continuous with the tube 44.
混合部50では、ブロアー53によって気流を発生させ、管52中において、第1選別物と、粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体と、を混合させながら、搬送することができる。粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体は、複数の繊維を結着させることができる樹脂を含む。樹脂が供給された時点では、複数の繊維は結着されていない。樹脂は、後述するシート形成部80を通過する際に溶融させることで複数の繊維を結着させる。なお、第1選別物と結着樹脂粉体とを混合させる機構は、特に限定されない。
In the mixing unit 50, an air stream is generated by the blower 53 and can be conveyed while mixing the first selected material and the binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 in the pipe 52. . The binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 includes a resin capable of binding a plurality of fibers. At the time when the resin is supplied, the plurality of fibers are not bound. The resin binds the plurality of fibers by melting when passing through a sheet forming portion 80 described later. Note that the mechanism for mixing the first selected product and the binder resin powder is not particularly limited.
粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体は、熱可塑性樹脂や熱硬化性樹脂であり、例えば、AS樹脂、ABS樹脂、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリスチレン、アクリル樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリフェニレンエーテル、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ナイロン、ポリアミド、ポリカーボネート、ポリアセタール、ポリフェニレンサルファイド、ポリエーテルエーテルケトン、などである。これらの樹脂を、単独または適宜混合して用いられる。
The binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 is a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin. For example, AS resin, ABS resin, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, acrylic resin, polyester resin. Polyethylene terephthalate, polyphenylene ether, polybutylene terephthalate, nylon, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacetal, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether ether ketone, and the like. These resins may be used alone or as a mixture as appropriate.
なお、粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体には、繊維を結着させる樹脂の他、製造されるシートの種類に応じて、繊維を着色するための着色剤や、繊維の凝集を防止するための凝集防止剤、繊維等が燃えにくくするための難燃剤などが含まれていてもよい。混合部50を通過した第1選別物と結着樹脂粉体との混合物は、管54を介して、堆積部60に移送される。
The binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 includes, in addition to the resin that binds the fibers, a colorant for coloring the fibers and the fiber according to the type of the sheet to be manufactured. An aggregation inhibitor for preventing aggregation, a flame retardant for making fibers difficult to burn, and the like may be included. The mixture of the first selected product and the binder resin powder that has passed through the mixing unit 50 is transferred to the deposition unit 60 via the tube 54.
堆積部60は、混合部50を通過した混合物を導入口61から堆積装置部62に導入し、解繊物の絡み合った繊維をほぐして、空気中で分散させながら降らせる。さらに、堆積装置部62は、粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体の樹脂が繊維状である場合、絡み合った樹脂繊維をほぐす。これにより、堆積部60は、第2ウェブ形成部70に、混合物を均一性よく堆積させることができる。
The deposition unit 60 introduces the mixture that has passed through the mixing unit 50 into the deposition device unit 62 from the introduction port 61, loosens the entangled fibers of the defibrated material, and lowers the fibers while dispersing them in the air. Furthermore, when the resin of the binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 is in a fibrous form, the deposition device unit 62 loosens the entangled resin fibers. Thereby, the deposition unit 60 can deposit the mixture on the second web forming unit 70 with good uniformity.
堆積装置部62としては、回転する網を有する円筒の篩を用い、混合部50を通過した混合物に含まれる、篩の網の目の開口の大きさより小さい繊維または粒子、すなわち網を通過できる繊維または粒子を通過させる。堆積部60の構成は、例えば、選別部30の構成と同じである。
As the deposition unit 62, a cylindrical sieve having a rotating net is used, and fibers or particles contained in the mixture that has passed through the mixing unit 50 are smaller than the opening size of the mesh of the sieve, that is, fibers that can pass through the net. Or let the particles pass. The configuration of the deposition unit 60 is, for example, the same as the configuration of the sorting unit 30.
なお、堆積装置部62の「篩」は、特定の対象物を選別する機能を有していなくてもよい。すなわち、堆積装置部62として用いられる「篩」とは、網を備えたもの、という意味であり、堆積装置部62に導入された混合物の全てを通過させてもよい。
It should be noted that the “sieving” of the deposition device unit 62 may not have a function of selecting a specific object. In other words, the “sieving” used as the deposition apparatus unit 62 means that a net is provided, and all of the mixture introduced into the deposition apparatus unit 62 may be allowed to pass through.
第2ウェブ形成部70は、堆積部60を通過した通過物を堆積して、ウェブWを形成する。第2ウェブ形成部70は、例えば、メッシュベルト71と、張架ローラー72と、吸引部(サクション機構)73と、を有している。
The second web forming unit 70 deposits the passing material that has passed through the depositing unit 60 to form the web W. The second web forming unit 70 includes, for example, a mesh belt 71, a tension roller 72, and a suction unit (suction mechanism) 73.
メッシュベルト71は、移動しながら、堆積部60の開口(網の開口)を通過した通過物を堆積する。メッシュベルト71は、張架ローラー72によって張架され、通過物を通しにくく空気を通す構成となっている。メッシュベルト71は、張架ローラー72が自転することによって連続的に移動する。堆積部60を通過した通過物が、連続的に移動するメッシュベルト71上に降り積もることにより、メッシュベルト71上にウェブWが形成される。
The mesh belt 71 accumulates the passing material that has passed through the opening (opening of the mesh) of the accumulation unit 60 while moving. The mesh belt 71 is stretched by a stretching roller 72, and is configured to allow air to pass therethrough. The mesh belt 71 moves continuously as the stretching roller 72 rotates. The passing material that has passed through the accumulation unit 60 descends on the mesh belt 71 that moves continuously, whereby the web W is formed on the mesh belt 71.
吸引部73は、メッシュベルト71の下方(堆積部60側とは反対側)に設けられている。吸引部73は、下方に向く気流(堆積部60からメッシュベルト71に向く気流)を発生させることができる。これにより、堆積部60からの通過物の排出速度を大きくすることができる。
The suction part 73 is provided below the mesh belt 71 (on the opposite side to the accumulation part 60 side). The suction unit 73 can generate an airflow directed downward (airflow directed from the accumulation unit 60 to the mesh belt 71). Thereby, the discharge speed | rate of the passing material from the deposition part 60 can be enlarged.
以上のように、堆積部60および第2ウェブ形成部70(ウェブ形成工程)を経ることにより、空気を多く含み柔らかくふくらんだ状態のウェブWが形成される。メッシュベルト71に堆積されたウェブWは、シート形成部80へと搬送される。なお、図示の例では、ウェブWを調湿する調湿部74が設けられている。調湿部74は、ウェブWに対して水や水蒸気を添加して、ウェブWと水との量比を調節することができる。
As described above, by passing through the deposition part 60 and the second web formation part 70 (web formation process), the web W in a soft and swelled state containing a large amount of air is formed. The web W deposited on the mesh belt 71 is conveyed to the sheet forming unit 80. In the illustrated example, a humidity control unit 74 that adjusts the humidity of the web W is provided. The humidity control unit 74 can add water or water vapor to the web W to adjust the quantity ratio of the web W to water.
シート形成部80は、メッシュベルト71に堆積したウェブWを加圧および加熱してシートSを形成する。シート形成部80では、ウェブWにおいて混ぜ合された解繊物および結着樹脂粉体の混合物に、熱を加えることにより、混合物中の複数の繊維を、互いに結着樹脂粉体を介して結着することができる。
The sheet forming unit 80 pressurizes and heats the web W deposited on the mesh belt 71 to form the sheet S. In the sheet forming unit 80, by applying heat to the mixture of the defibrated material and the binder resin powder mixed in the web W, a plurality of fibers in the mixture are bound to each other via the binder resin powder. Can be worn.
シート形成部80は、ウェブWを加圧する加圧部81と、加圧部81により加圧されたウェブWを加熱する加熱部82と、を備えている。加圧部81は、一対のカレンダーローラー81a,81bで構成され、ウェブWに対して圧力を加える。ウェブWは、加圧されることによりその厚さが薄くされ、ウェブWの密度が高められる。加熱部82は、一対の加熱ローラー82a,82bを備えている。カレンダーローラー81a,81bにより加圧されたウェブWを、加熱ローラー82a,82bにより加熱し、樹脂を溶融させて繊維を結着させることによりシートSが形成される。ここで、加圧部81のカレンダーローラー81a,81bによってウェブWに印加される圧力は、加熱部82の加熱ローラー82a,82bによってウェブWに印加する圧力よりも高い圧力にすることができる。なお、カレンダーローラー81a,81bや加熱ローラー82a,82bの数は、特に限定されない。
The sheet forming unit 80 includes a pressurizing unit 81 that pressurizes the web W and a heating unit 82 that heats the web W pressed by the pressurizing unit 81. The pressurizing unit 81 includes a pair of calendar rollers 81 a and 81 b and applies pressure to the web W. The web W is pressed to reduce its thickness, and the density of the web W is increased. The heating unit 82 includes a pair of heating rollers 82a and 82b. The sheet S is formed by heating the web W pressed by the calendar rollers 81a and 81b by the heating rollers 82a and 82b, melting the resin, and binding the fibers. Here, the pressure applied to the web W by the calendar rollers 81 a and 81 b of the pressurizing unit 81 can be higher than the pressure applied to the web W by the heating rollers 82 a and 82 b of the heating unit 82. The number of calendar rollers 81a and 81b and heating rollers 82a and 82b is not particularly limited.
切断部90は、シート形成部80によって形成されたシートSを切断する。図示の例では、切断部90は、シートSの搬送方向と交差する方向にシートSを切断する第1切断部91と、搬送方向に平行な方向にシートSを切断する、例えばローラーカッターなどの第2切断部92と、を有している。第2切断部92は、例えば、第1切断部91を通過したシートSを切断する。切断部90を通過させることで、シートSから切断された所定のサイズの単票の印刷再生紙Pr1、あるいは再生紙Pr2として形成される。切断された単票の印刷再生紙Pr1、あるいは再生紙Pr2は、図1にも示す再生紙排出部100bへと排出され、再生紙供給部200へ搬送される。なお、用紙再生の手法は、上述した手法に限定されず、例えば、被記録媒体の表面に付着したトナーと呼ばれる記録媒体を物理的に除去する手法や湿式の用紙再生手法など、様々な用紙再生手法を採用することができる。

In the step of the above-mentioned first recycled paper storage unit storage amount confirmation step (S21), when it is confirmed that the printed recycled paper Pr1 is not stored (NO), the printing paper reselection step (S23) is executed. . In the printing paper reselecting step (S23), it is selected whether to perform predetermined printing on either the new paper Pn or the printed recycled paper Pr1.
選択の手段としては、用紙再生印刷装置1000に備える表示部などに表示される、「印刷再生紙Pr1残量なし」「印刷の継続または中止の決定」などから、オペレーター(人)が判断するが、本例では印刷を継続させることとして説明する。印刷の継続には、印刷に供される用紙の補充が容易な新規用紙Pnへ印刷する(YES)か、新規用紙Pnを選択せず(NO)に、用紙再生部100によって印刷再生紙Pr1の製造と、第1の再生紙貯蔵部320への貯蔵を経て、印刷を継続するかを選択する。
As a means for selection, an operator (person) determines from “printed recycled paper Pr1 remaining amount”, “decision of continuation or cancellation of printing”, and the like displayed on a display unit provided in the paper recycling printing apparatus 1000. In this example, it is assumed that printing is continued. In order to continue printing, printing is performed on a new paper Pn that can be easily replenished with paper to be printed (YES) or the new paper Pn is not selected (NO), and the paper recycling unit 100 selects the printed recycled paper Pr1. It is selected whether to continue printing through manufacture and storage in the first recycled paper storage unit 320.
印刷用紙再選択ステップ(S23)において新規用紙Pnに印刷(YES)が選択されると、後述する、印刷用紙選択ステップ(S20)において(NO)、すなわち新規用紙Pnを選択したフローに基づいて印刷が継続される。一方、新規用紙Pnを選択しない(NO)場合、上述した図3に示す再生紙の製造フローに基づいて印刷再生紙Pr1の製造フローに移行ステップ(S24)が実行される。
When printing (YES) is selected on the new paper Pn in the printing paper reselecting step (S23), printing is performed based on the flow (NO) in the printing paper selection step (S20) described later, that is, the new paper Pn is selected. Will continue. On the other hand, when the new paper Pn is not selected (NO), a transition step (S24) to the production flow of the printed recycled paper Pr1 is executed based on the above-described recycled paper production flow shown in FIG.
この時、図3に示す再生紙の製造フローでも説明したように、印刷部500はオフライン状態となり、製造された印刷再生紙Pr1が第1の再生紙貯蔵部320に貯蔵されるまで待機する。印刷再生紙Pr1が第1の再生紙貯蔵部320に貯蔵されると、上述した印刷再生紙取出しステップ(S22)に移行する。なお、印刷再生紙Pr1の製造数量は、印刷用紙再選択ステップ(S23)において(NO)を選択した際に、設定部700へ印刷再生紙Pr1の製造量を指定するか、印刷命令コマンドに含まれる印刷数量に対して印刷残量分を製造するか、は特に限定は無い。
At this time, as described in the recycled paper manufacturing flow shown in FIG. 3, the printing unit 500 is in an offline state and waits until the manufactured printed recycled paper Pr1 is stored in the first recycled paper storage unit 320. When the printed recycled paper Pr1 is stored in the first recycled paper storage unit 320, the process proceeds to the above-described printed recycled paper take-out step (S22). It should be noted that the production quantity of the printed recycled paper Pr1 is specified in the print command when the production quantity of the printed recycled paper Pr1 is designated to the setting unit 700 when (NO) is selected in the printing paper reselecting step (S23). There is no particular limitation as to whether or not the remaining amount of printing is produced with respect to the printed quantity.
一方、印刷用紙選択ステップ(S20)において、印刷再生紙Pr1が選択されない(NO)場合、用紙貯蔵部310に貯蔵されている新規用紙Pnが選択されることとなる。新規用紙Pnが選択されると、用紙貯蔵部310に貯蔵されている新規用紙Pnの貯蔵の有無を確認する新規用紙貯蔵量確認ステップ(S30)が実行される。新規用紙貯蔵量確認ステップ(S30)において、新規用紙Pnが貯蔵されている(YES)ことが確認されると、用紙貯蔵部310から新規用紙Pnの取出し(S31)が実行され、新規用紙Pnが印刷部500へ供給される。そして、印刷ステップ(S200)、印刷数量確認ステップ(S212)が実行される。
On the other hand, if the print recycled paper Pr1 is not selected (NO) in the printing paper selection step (S20), the new paper Pn stored in the paper storage unit 310 is selected. When a new paper Pn is selected, a new paper storage amount confirmation step (S30) for confirming whether or not the new paper Pn stored in the paper storage unit 310 is stored is executed. In the new paper storage amount confirmation step (S30), when it is confirmed that the new paper Pn is stored (YES), the new paper Pn is taken out from the paper storage unit 310 (S31), and the new paper Pn is obtained.

Both the print quantity confirmation step (S211) in the print flow on the printed recycled paper Pr1 and the print quantity confirmation step (S212) in the print flow on the new paper Pn have reached the print quantity based on the print command (YES). Printing ends.
以上、説明したように本実施形態に係る用紙再生印刷装置1000では、図1に示すように、用紙再生部100において製造される再生紙のうち、印刷に供される印刷再生紙Pr1が貯蔵される第1の再生紙貯蔵部320と、印刷に供されない再生紙Pr2が貯蔵される第2の再生紙貯蔵部330と、に加え、新規用紙Pnが貯蔵される用紙貯蔵部310を備える貯蔵部300が備えられている。
As described above, in the paper recycling printing apparatus 1000 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, among the recycled paper manufactured in the paper recycling unit 100, the printed recycled paper Pr1 used for printing is stored. In addition to the first recycled paper storage unit 320 and the second recycled paper storage unit 330 that stores the recycled paper Pr2 that is not used for printing, the storage unit includes a paper storage unit 310 that stores new paper Pn. 300 is provided.
印刷に供されない再生紙Pr2は、例えば、他の印刷機の印刷に供する再生紙であったり、手書きメモ用の用紙であったり、と、様々な形態が考えられる。更には、上述の用紙再生部100が、無色(白色)の再生紙に限定されず、用紙再生部100内で着色することも可能であり、有色の再生紙を製造することもできることから、印刷用としてではなく装飾用であったり、折り紙用であったりと、印刷以外の多様な用途に提供することができる。従って、用紙再生部100において製造される再生紙Pr2は、印刷部500を介せず、直接、第2の再生紙貯蔵部330から貯蔵されている再生紙Pr2を取り出し可能とすることで、印刷部500において、新規用紙Pnあるいは印刷再生紙Pr1を用いて印刷部500にて実行されている印刷を中断させることなく、所望の再生紙Pr2を用紙再生印刷装置1000から取り出すことができる。
The recycled paper Pr2 that is not used for printing may be in various forms, for example, recycled paper that is used for printing by another printing machine, or paper for handwritten memos. Further, the above-described paper recycling unit 100 is not limited to colorless (white) recycled paper, but can be colored in the paper recycling unit 100, and colored recycled paper can be manufactured. It can be provided for various uses other than printing, for example, for decoration purposes and for origami. Accordingly, the recycled paper Pr2 manufactured in the paper recycling unit 100 can be printed by allowing the recycled paper Pr2 stored directly from the second recycled paper storage unit 330 to be taken out without using the printing unit 500. In the unit 500, the desired recycled paper Pr2 can be taken out from the paper recycling printing apparatus 1000 without interrupting the printing performed in the printing unit 500 using the new paper Pn or the printed recycled paper Pr1.
用紙再生部100を稼働しようとする際に、図3に示すように、印刷部500が稼働中の場合は印刷を継続させ、再生紙製造の実行には移行しない。従って、印刷再生紙Pr1が第1の再生紙貯蔵部320から印刷するために取り出されているとき、用紙再生部100からの印刷再生紙Pr1は第1の再生紙貯蔵部320へ供給されない。また、印刷部500が稼働していない場合には、印刷部500をオフラインにすることにより、再生紙の製造中には印刷部500が動作しない状態を構成する。従って、印刷再生紙Pr1が用紙再生部100から第1の再生紙貯蔵部320へ供給されているとき、印刷再生紙Pr1が第1の再生紙貯蔵部320から印刷するために取り出さることはない。すなわち、印刷のために第1の再生紙貯蔵部320から、印刷再生紙Pr1が取り出されることと、用紙再生部100から印刷再生紙Pr1の供給が重複することが無い。よって、紙送り時のジャム発生を防止することができる。
When trying to operate the paper recycling unit 100, as shown in FIG. 3, if the printing unit 500 is in operation, printing is continued and the process does not proceed to the production of recycled paper. Accordingly, when the printed recycled paper Pr1 is taken out for printing from the first recycled paper storage unit 320, the printed recycled paper Pr1 from the paper recycling unit 100 is not supplied to the first recycled paper storage unit 320. When the printing unit 500 is not in operation, the printing unit 500 is set offline so that the printing unit 500 does not operate during the production of recycled paper. Therefore, when the printed recycled paper Pr1 is supplied from the paper recycling unit 100 to the first recycled paper storage unit 320, the printed recycled paper Pr1 is not taken out for printing from the first recycled paper storage unit 320. . That is, the printing recycled paper Pr1 is not taken out from the first recycled paper storage unit 320 for printing, and the supply of the printing recycled paper Pr1 from the paper recycling unit 100 does not overlap. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a jam from occurring during paper feeding.

図13は、本実施形態に係る用紙再生印刷装置1000に備える用紙再生部100の概略構成を示す構成図である。図13に示すように、用紙再生部100は、古紙供給部100aと、製造部110と、制御部120と、を備える。製造部110は、印刷再生紙Pr1あるいは再生紙Pr2を製造する。製造部110は、粗砕部10と、解繊部20と、選別部30と、第1ウェブ形成部40と、回転体45と、混合部50と、堆積部60と、第2ウェブ形成部70と、シート形成部80と、切断部90と、を有している。
FIG. 13 is a configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of the paper reproduction unit 100 provided in the paper reproduction printing apparatus 1000 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, the paper recycling unit 100 includes a used paper supply unit 100a, a manufacturing unit 110, and a control unit 120. The manufacturing unit 110 manufactures the printed recycled paper Pr1 or the recycled paper Pr2. The manufacturing unit 110 includes a crushing unit 10, a defibrating unit 20, a sorting unit 30, a first web forming unit 40, a rotating body 45, a mixing unit 50, a depositing unit 60, and a second web forming unit. 70, a sheet forming unit 80, and a cutting unit 90.
古紙供給部100aは、粗砕部10に古紙Puを供給する。古紙供給部100aは、例えば、粗砕部10に古紙Puを連続的に投入するための自動投入部である。古紙供給部100aによって供給される古紙Puは、古紙には限定されず、例えば、パルプシートなどの繊維を含むものであればよい。
The used paper supply unit 100 a supplies the used paper Pu to the crushing unit 10. The used paper supply unit 100a is, for example, an automatic input unit for continuously inputting used paper Pu to the crushing unit 10. The used paper Pu supplied by the used paper supply unit 100a is not limited to used paper, and may be any paper including fibers such as pulp sheets.
粗砕部10は、古紙供給部100aによって供給された古紙Puを、空気中で裁断して細片にする。細片の形状や大きさは、例えば、数cm角の細片である。図示の例では、粗砕部10は、粗砕刃11を有し、粗砕刃11によって、投入された原料を裁断することができる。粗砕部10としては、例えば、シュレッダーを用いることができる。粗砕部10によって裁断された古紙Puは、解繊部20に備えるホッパー21で受けてから管22を介して、解繊装置部23に移送(搬送)される。
The crushing unit 10 cuts the used paper Pu supplied by the used paper supply unit 100a into pieces by cutting in the air. The shape and size of the strip is, for example, a strip of several cm square. In the illustrated example, the crushing unit 10 has a crushing blade 11, and the charged raw material can be cut by the crushing blade 11. As the crushing part 10, a shredder can be used, for example. The used paper Pu cut by the crushing unit 10 is received by a hopper 21 provided in the defibrating unit 20 and then transferred (conveyed) to the defibrating device unit 23 through the tube 22.
解繊装置部23は、粗砕部10によって裁断された原料を解繊する。ここで、本明細書における「解繊する」とは、複数の繊維が結着されることで形成されている被解繊物としての古紙Puを、繊維1本1本に解きほぐすことをいう。解繊装置部23は、原料に付着した樹脂粒やインク、トナー、にじみ防止剤等の物質を、繊維から分離させる機能をも有する。
The defibrating device unit 23 defibrates the raw material cut by the crushing unit 10. Here, “defibrating” in the present specification refers to unwinding the used paper Pu as a material to be defibrated formed by binding a plurality of fibers into one fiber. The defibrating device section 23 also has a function of separating substances such as resin particles, ink, toner, and a bleeding inhibitor adhering to the raw material from the fibers.
解繊装置部23を通過したものを「解繊物」という。「解繊物」には、解きほぐされた解繊物繊維の他に、繊維を解きほぐす際に繊維から分離した樹脂(複数の繊維同士を結着させるための樹脂)粒や、インク、トナーなどの色剤や、にじみ防止材、紙力増強剤等の添加剤を含んでいる場合もある。
The material that has passed through the defibrating device 23 is referred to as “defibrated material”. In addition to the defibrated fibers that have been unraveled, the “defibrated material” includes resin particles (resins that bind multiple fibers together), ink, toner, etc. In some cases, additives such as colorants, anti-bleeding materials, and paper strength enhancing agents are included.
解繊装置部23は、溶剤、水などを使用せず、大気中(空気中)において、所謂乾式で解繊を行う。具体的には、解繊装置部23としては、インペラーミルを用いる。解繊装置部23は、原料を吸引し、解繊物を排出するような気流を発生させる機能を有している。これにより、解繊装置部23は、自ら発生する気流によって、導入口23aから原料を気流と共に吸引し、解繊処理して、解繊物を排出口23bへと搬送することができる。解繊装置部23を通過した解繊物は、管31を介して、選別部30に移送される。なお、解繊装置部23から選別部30に解繊物を搬送させるための気流は、解繊装置部23において発生する気流を利用してもよいし、ブロアー等の気流発生装置を設け、その気流を利用してもよい。
The defibrating unit 23 performs defibrating in a so-called dry method in the atmosphere (in the air) without using a solvent, water, or the like. Specifically, an impeller mill is used as the defibrating device unit 23. The defibrating device unit 23 has a function of generating an air current that sucks the raw material and discharges the defibrated material. Thereby, the defibrating apparatus unit 23 can suck the raw material together with the airflow from the introduction port 23a by the airflow generated by itself, defibrate, and transport the defibrated material to the discharge port 23b. The defibrated material that has passed through the defibrating device unit 23 is transferred to the sorting unit 30 via the pipe 31. In addition, as the airflow for transporting the defibrated material from the defibrating device unit 23 to the sorting unit 30, an airflow generated in the defibrating device unit 23 may be used, or an airflow generating device such as a blower is provided, Airflow may be used.
選別部30は、管31を介して解繊部20により解繊された解繊物を導入口32から選別装置部33に導入し、繊維の長さによって選別する。選別装置部33としては、例えば、篩(ふるい)を用いる。選別装置部33は、網(フィルター、スクリーン)を有し、網の目開きの大きさより小さい繊維または粒子(網を通過するもの、第1選別物)と、網の目開きの大きさより大きい繊維や未解繊片やダマ(網を通過しないもの、第2選別物)と、を分けることができる。例えば、第1選別物は、管44を介して、混合部50に移送される。第2選別物は、排出口34から管35を介して、解繊部20に戻される。具体的には、選別装置部33は、モーターによって回転駆動される円筒の篩である。選別装置部33の網としては、例えば、金網、切れ目が入った金属板を引き延ばしたエキスパンドメタル、金属板にプレス機等で穴を形成したパンチングメタルを用いる。
The sorting unit 30 introduces the defibrated material defibrated by the defibrating unit 20 through the pipe 31 into the sorting device unit 33 from the introduction port 32, and sorts the defibrated material according to the length of the fiber. As the sorting device unit 33, for example, a sieve is used. The sorting device section 33 has a net (filter, screen), fibers or particles smaller than the mesh size of the mesh (one that passes through the mesh, the first sort), and fibers larger than the mesh size of the mesh. And undefibrated pieces and lumps (those that do not pass through the net, second sort). For example, the first selection is transferred to the mixing unit 50 via the pipe 44. The second selected item is returned to the defibrating unit 20 from the discharge port 34 via the pipe 35. Specifically, the sorting device unit 33 is a cylindrical sieve that is rotationally driven by a motor. As the net of the sorting unit 33, for example, a metal net, an expanded metal obtained by extending a cut metal plate, or a punching metal in which a hole is formed in the metal plate by a press machine or the like is used.
第1ウェブ形成部40は、選別部30を通過した第1選別物を、混合部50に搬送する。第1ウェブ形成部40は、メッシュベルト41と、張架ローラー42と、吸引部(サクション機構)43と、を含む。
1st web formation part 40 conveys the 1st sorting thing which passed sorting part 30 to mixing part 50. The first web forming unit 40 includes a mesh belt 41, a stretching roller 42, and a suction unit (suction mechanism) 43.
吸引部43は、選別部30の開口(網の開口)を通過して空気中に分散された第1選別物をメッシュベルト41上に吸引することができる。第1選別物は、吸引部43によって選別部30から吸引され、移動するメッシュベルト41上に堆積し、ウェブVを形成する。メッシュベルト41、張架ローラー42および吸引部43の基本的な構成と、後述する第2ウェブ形成部70のメッシュベルト71、張架ローラー72および吸引部(サクション機構)73と、は同様である。
The suction unit 43 can suck the first sorted material dispersed in the air through the opening (opening of the mesh) of the sorting unit 30 onto the mesh belt 41. The first sorted matter is sucked from the sorting unit 30 by the suction unit 43 and is deposited on the moving mesh belt 41 to form the web V. The basic configuration of the mesh belt 41, the stretching roller 42, and the suction unit 43 is the same as the mesh belt 71, the stretching roller 72, and the suction unit (suction mechanism) 73 of the second web forming unit 70 described later. .
ウェブVは、選別部30および第1ウェブ形成部40を経ることにより、空気を多く含み柔らかくふくらんだ状態に形成される。メッシュベルト41に堆積されたウェブVは、管44へ投入され、混合部50へと搬送される。
The web V is formed in a soft and swelled state with a lot of air by passing through the sorting unit 30 and the first web forming unit 40. The web V deposited on the mesh belt 41 is put into the pipe 44 and conveyed to the mixing unit 50.
回転体45は、ウェブVが混合部50に搬送される前に、ウェブVを切断することができる。図示の例では、回転体45は、基部45aと、基部45aから突出している突部45bと、を有している。突部45bは、例えば、板状の形状を有している。図示の例では、突部45bは4つ設けられ、4つの突部45bが等間隔に設けられている。基部45aが方向Rに回転することにより、突部45bは、基部45aを軸として回転することができる。回転体45によってウェブVを切断することにより、例えば、後述する堆積部60に供給される単位時間当たりの解繊物の量の変動を小さくすることができる。
The rotating body 45 can cut the web V before the web V is conveyed to the mixing unit 50. In the illustrated example, the rotator 45 includes a base 45a and a protrusion 45b protruding from the base 45a. The protrusion 45b has, for example, a plate shape. In the illustrated example, four protrusions 45b are provided, and the four protrusions 45b are provided at equal intervals. When the base 45a rotates in the direction R, the protrusion 45b can rotate around the base 45a. By cutting the web V by the rotating body 45, for example, it is possible to reduce fluctuations in the amount of defibrated material per unit time supplied to the deposition unit 60 described later.
混合部50は、選別部30を通過し、第1ウェブ形成部40により搬送された第1選別物と、結着樹脂粉体と、を混合する。混合部50は、結着樹脂粉体を供給する粉体供給装置51と、第1選別物と結着樹脂粉体とを搬送する管52と、ブロアー53と、を有している。管52は、管44と連続している。
The mixing unit 50 mixes the first sorted product that has passed through the sorting unit 30 and is conveyed by the first web forming unit 40 with the binder resin powder. The mixing unit 50 includes a powder supply device 51 that supplies the binder resin powder, a pipe 52 that conveys the first selected material and the binder resin powder, and a blower 53. The tube 52 is continuous with the tube 44.
混合部50では、ブロアー53によって気流を発生させ、管52中において、第1選別物と、粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体と、を混合させながら、搬送することができる。粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体は、複数の繊維を結着させることができる樹脂を含む。樹脂が供給された時点では、複数の繊維は結着されていない。樹脂は、後述するシート形成部80を通過する際に溶融させることで複数の繊維を結着させる。なお、第1選別物と結着樹脂粉体とを混合させる機構は、特に限定されない。
In the mixing unit 50, an air stream is generated by the blower 53 and can be conveyed while mixing the first selected material and the binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 in the pipe 52. . The binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 includes a resin capable of binding a plurality of fibers. At the time when the resin is supplied, the plurality of fibers are not bound. The resin binds the plurality of fibers by melting when passing through a sheet forming portion 80 described later. Note that the mechanism for mixing the first selected product and the binder resin powder is not particularly limited.
粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体は、熱可塑性樹脂や熱硬化性樹脂であり、例えば、AS樹脂、ABS樹脂、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリスチレン、アクリル樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリフェニレンエーテル、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ナイロン、ポリアミド、ポリカーボネート、ポリアセタール、ポリフェニレンサルファイド、ポリエーテルエーテルケトン、などである。これらの樹脂を、単独または適宜混合して用いられる。
The binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 is a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin. For example, AS resin, ABS resin, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, acrylic resin, polyester resin. Polyethylene terephthalate, polyphenylene ether, polybutylene terephthalate, nylon, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacetal, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether ether ketone, and the like. These resins may be used alone or as a mixture as appropriate.
なお、粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体には、繊維を結着させる樹脂の他、製造されるシートの種類に応じて、繊維を着色するための着色剤や、繊維の凝集を防止するための凝集防止剤、繊維等が燃えにくくするための難燃剤などが含まれていてもよい。混合部50を通過した第1選別物と結着樹脂粉体との混合物は、管54を介して、堆積部60に移送される。
The binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 includes, in addition to the resin that binds the fibers, a colorant for coloring the fibers and the fiber according to the type of the sheet to be manufactured. An aggregation inhibitor for preventing aggregation, a flame retardant for making fibers difficult to burn, and the like may be included. The mixture of the first selected product and the binder resin powder that has passed through the mixing unit 50 is transferred to the deposition unit 60 via the tube 54.
堆積部60は、混合部50を通過した混合物を導入口61から堆積装置部62に導入し、解繊物の絡み合った繊維をほぐして、空気中で分散させながら降らせる。さらに、堆積装置部62は、粉体供給装置51から供給される結着樹脂粉体の樹脂が繊維状である場合、絡み合った樹脂繊維をほぐす。これにより、堆積部60は、第2ウェブ形成部70に、混合物を均一性よく堆積させることができる。
The deposition unit 60 introduces the mixture that has passed through the mixing unit 50 into the deposition device unit 62 from the introduction port 61, loosens the entangled fibers of the defibrated material, and lowers the fibers while dispersing them in the air. Furthermore, when the resin of the binder resin powder supplied from the powder supply device 51 is in a fibrous form, the deposition device unit 62 loosens the entangled resin fibers. Thereby, the deposition unit 60 can deposit the mixture on the second web forming unit 70 with good uniformity.
堆積装置部62としては、回転する網を有する円筒の篩を用い、混合部50を通過した混合物に含まれる、篩の網の目の開口の大きさより小さい繊維または粒子、すなわち網を通過できる繊維または粒子を通過させる。堆積部60の構成は、例えば、選別部30の構成と同じである。
As the deposition unit 62, a cylindrical sieve having a rotating net is used, and fibers or particles contained in the mixture that has passed through the mixing unit 50 are smaller than the opening size of the mesh of the sieve, that is, fibers that can pass through the net. Or let the particles pass. The configuration of the deposition unit 60 is, for example, the same as the configuration of the sorting unit 30.
なお、堆積装置部62の「篩」は、特定の対象物を選別する機能を有していなくてもよい。すなわち、堆積装置部62として用いられる「篩」とは、網を備えたもの、という意味であり、堆積装置部62に導入された混合物の全てを通過させてもよい。
It should be noted that the “sieving” of the deposition device unit 62 may not have a function of selecting a specific object. In other words, the “sieving” used as the deposition apparatus unit 62 means that a net is provided, and all of the mixture introduced into the deposition apparatus unit 62 may be allowed to pass through.
第2ウェブ形成部70は、堆積部60を通過した通過物を堆積して、ウェブWを形成する。第2ウェブ形成部70は、例えば、メッシュベルト71と、張架ローラー72と、吸引部(サクション機構)73と、を有している。
The second web forming unit 70 deposits the passing material that has passed through the depositing unit 60 to form the web W. The second web forming unit 70 includes, for example, a mesh belt 71, a tension roller 72, and a suction unit (suction mechanism) 73.
メッシュベルト71は、移動しながら、堆積部60の開口(網の開口)を通過した通過物を堆積する。メッシュベルト71は、張架ローラー72によって張架され、通過物を通しにくく空気を通す構成となっている。メッシュベルト71は、張架ローラー72が自転することによって連続的に移動する。堆積部60を通過した通過物が、連続的に移動するメッシュベルト71上に降り積もることにより、メッシュベルト71上にウェブWが形成される。
The mesh belt 71 accumulates the passing material that has passed through the opening (opening of the mesh) of the accumulation unit 60 while moving. The mesh belt 71 is stretched by a stretching roller 72, and is configured to allow air to pass therethrough. The mesh belt 71 moves continuously as the stretching roller 72 rotates. The passing material that has passed through the accumulation unit 60 descends on the mesh belt 71 that moves continuously, whereby the web W is formed on the mesh belt 71.
吸引部73は、メッシュベルト71の下方(堆積部60側とは反対側)に設けられている。吸引部73は、下方に向く気流(堆積部60からメッシュベルト71に向く気流)を発生させることができる。これにより、堆積部60からの通過物の排出速度を大きくすることができる。
The suction part 73 is provided below the mesh belt 71 (on the opposite side to the accumulation part 60 side). The suction unit 73 can generate an airflow directed downward (airflow directed from the accumulation unit 60 to the mesh belt 71). Thereby, the discharge speed | rate of the passing material from the deposition part 60 can be enlarged.
以上のように、堆積部60および第2ウェブ形成部70(ウェブ形成工程)を経ることにより、空気を多く含み柔らかくふくらんだ状態のウェブWが形成される。メッシュベルト71に堆積されたウェブWは、シート形成部80へと搬送される。なお、図示の例では、ウェブWを調湿する調湿部74が設けられている。調湿部74は、ウェブWに対して水や水蒸気を添加して、ウェブWと水との量比を調節することができる。
As described above, by passing through the deposition part 60 and the second web formation part 70 (web formation process), the web W in a soft and swelled state containing a large amount of air is formed. The web W deposited on the mesh belt 71 is conveyed to the sheet forming unit 80. In the illustrated example, a humidity control unit 74 that adjusts the humidity of the web W is provided. The humidity control unit 74 can add water or water vapor to the web W to adjust the quantity ratio of the web W to water.
シート形成部80は、メッシュベルト71に堆積したウェブWを加圧および加熱してシートSを形成する。シート形成部80では、ウェブWにおいて混ぜ合された解繊物および結着樹脂粉体の混合物に、熱を加えることにより、混合物中の複数の繊維を、互いに結着樹脂粉体を介して結着することができる。
The sheet forming unit 80 pressurizes and heats the web W deposited on the mesh belt 71 to form the sheet S. In the sheet forming unit 80, by applying heat to the mixture of the defibrated material and the binder resin powder mixed in the web W, a plurality of fibers in the mixture are bound to each other via the binder resin powder. Can be worn.
シート形成部80は、ウェブWを加圧する加圧部81と、加圧部81により加圧されたウェブWを加熱する加熱部82と、を備えている。加圧部81は、一対のカレンダーローラー81a,81bで構成され、ウェブWに対して圧力を加える。ウェブWは、加圧されることによりその厚さが薄くされ、ウェブWの密度が高められる。加熱部82は、一対の加熱ローラー82a,82bを備えている。カレンダーローラー81a,81bにより加圧されたウェブWを、加熱ローラー82a,82bにより加熱し、樹脂を溶融させて繊維を結着させることによりシートSが成形される。ここで、加圧部81のカレンダーローラー81a,81bによってウェブWに印加される圧力は、加熱部82の加熱ローラー82a,82bによってウェブWに印加する圧力よりも高い圧力にすることができる。なお、カレンダーローラー81a,81bや加熱ローラー82a,82bの数は、特に限定されない。
The sheet forming unit 80 includes a pressurizing unit 81 that pressurizes the web W and a heating unit 82 that heats the web W pressed by the pressurizing unit 81. The pressurizing unit 81 includes a pair of calendar rollers 81 a and 81 b and applies pressure to the web W. The web W is pressed to reduce its thickness, and the density of the web W is increased. The heating unit 82 includes a pair of heating rollers 82a and 82b. The sheet W is formed by heating the web W pressed by the calendar rollers 81a and 81b by the heating rollers 82a and 82b, melting the resin, and binding the fibers. Here, the pressure applied to the web W by the calendar rollers 81 a and 81 b of the pressurizing unit 81 can be higher than the pressure applied to the web W by the heating rollers 82 a and 82 b of the heating unit 82. The number of calendar rollers 81a and 81b and heating rollers 82a and 82b is not particularly limited.
切断部90は、シート形成部80によって形成されたシートSを切断する。図示の例では、切断部90は、シートSの搬送方向と交差する方向にシートSを切断する第1切断部91と、搬送方向に平行な方向にシートSを切断する、例えばローラーカッターなどの第2切断部92と、を有している。第2切断部92は、例えば、第1切断部91を通過したシートSを切断する。切断部90を通過させることで、シートSから切断された所定のサイズの単票の印刷再生紙Pr1、あるいは再生紙Pr2として形成される。切断された単票の印刷再生紙Pr1、あるいは再生紙Pr2は、図12にも示す再生紙排出部(第2の再生紙貯蔵部)100bへと排出され、再生紙供給部200へ搬送される。なお、用紙再生の手法は、上述した手法に限定されず、例えば、被記録媒体の表面に付着したトナーと呼ばれる記録媒体を物理的に除去する手法であってもよい。
The cutting unit 90 cuts the sheet S formed by the sheet forming unit 80.
