Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for sorting waste according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the individual pieces are placed on an essentially straight conveying path and examined in the area of this conveying path for the material used and possibly also for the color and removed from the conveying path at these corresponding discharge points.
  • sorting the waste according to the different materials to the greatest possible extent is of crucial importance, especially when recycling plastics, for the quality of the new product.
  • the aim of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned and to propose a method of the type mentioned at the outset which enables the waste to be sorted according to type by material and possibly also by color.
  • the proposed measures ensure that the individual pieces are kept stable in their position with respect to the moving conveyor path in relation to the moving conveyor path during the path between the feed point and the respective discharge point. This ensures that a piece that is made of a certain material is safely dropped at the intended location.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the features of claim 6 result in considerable savings in compressed air.
  • the proposed measures make it possible to eject smaller objects by activating only one blowing nozzle arrangement and only two or more for larger objects Activate blow nozzle assemblies, each of which may be formed by a pair of blow nozzles. This can significantly reduce the consumption of compressed air.
  • the features of claim 8 have the advantage that the individual pieces are directed to the edge.
  • the device according to the invention according to FIG. 1 has a conveying path formed by a drivable disk 2, to which a feed chute 1 is assigned for feeding in individual pieces 7 to be sorted, e.g. Bottles, cans and the like made of different materials.
  • the disk 2 has a substantially flat or dome-shaped central region 3 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is surrounded by a region 4 which widens conically, which in turn is surrounded by an edge 5 which widens conically. This results in a circumferential channel which is provided for receiving the pieces 7 to be sorted.
  • the feed chute 1 has a relatively slight inclination and is oriented tangentially to the groove formed by the area 4 and the edge 5 of the disk 2, so that the individual pieces 7 slide from the feed chute 1 into this groove.
  • the individual pieces 7 are pressed against the inside of the edge 5 due to the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the disc 2 and therefore do not change their position relative to the disc 2.
  • the feed chute 1 is followed by a sensor device 6.
  • This sensor device is equipped with sensors which mostly detect the reflectivity of the individual pieces 7 for infrared light and from these measurements detect the respective material from which the moving piece 7 is made.
  • color sensors for essentially opaque pieces 7 operating according to the reflected light method and color sensors for transparent pieces 7 working according to the transmitted light method can also be provided in the sensor device 6 his.
  • This sensor device 6 controls ejection devices 8, which are arranged downstream of the sensor device 6 in the direction of rotation of the disk 2, the ejection devices 8 being formed by blow-out nozzles. These blow-out nozzles are arranged below the disc 2 and directed obliquely outwards.
  • the conical region 4 surrounding the central region 3 is provided with a large number of openings, or is formed from a wire mesh 9, expanded metal 10 or by rods 11 arranged at short intervals. As a result, correspondingly large areas are permeable to air.
  • one of the ejection devices 8 is activated as soon as the relevant piece 7 has reached its area, the activation by the sensor device 6 depending on the speed of the disc 2 is controlled.
  • a relatively large number of ejection devices 8 can be distributed over the circumference of the disk 2 be arranged, which also depends on the size of the pieces 7 to be sorted out.
  • the ejection devices 8 are assigned to collecting container 12 in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, whereas in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 the ejection devices 8 are assigned slides 14 which lead to conveyor devices, not shown.
  • two receptacles 12 are arranged next to the disc, which collect the pieces 7 sorted according to material and color.
  • a discharge device (not shown in FIG. 3) is arranged in the area of a transfer chute 13, which drops all pieces 7 onto the transfer chute that are not assigned to any of the throw-off devices arranged in the area of disc 2. These pieces 7 are then thrown off by the ejection devices in the area of the disc 2 ′ and fed to corresponding collecting containers 12.
  • the ejection devices 8 are indicated by arrows.
  • the ejection devices 8 can be formed by blowing nozzles, which are essentially aligned with the surface lines of the edge region of the disk 2, 2 '. Such an alignment of blowing nozzles with an essentially elongated outflow opening is particularly suitable if the rather larger parts are to be sorted, so that they can usually be acted upon by two adjacent blowing nozzles.
  • FIG. 5a shows various embodiments of the edge region of the pane 2 or 2 '.
  • the edge 5 can thus protrude directly from the flat region 3 of the pane 2, 2 '.
  • the central region of the disk 2, 2 ' is domed upwards in the form of a dome, which is followed by a region 4 which widens conically downwards. This is surrounded by the edge 5, which widens conically upwards.
  • This area 4 has a greater inclination to the horizontal than the dome-shaped area 3.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 5d differs from that according to FIG. 5c only in that area 4 has a lower inclination than in area 3.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 differs from that according to FIGS. 1 and 3 or 4 in that the ejection devices 8 are each formed by a pair of blowing nozzles 20, 21, both of which have an elongated outflow opening.
  • One blowing nozzle 20 or its outflow opening is oriented essentially in the circumferential direction of the disc 2 and the second in the radial direction or in the direction of a generatrix of the frustoconical edge region of the disc 2. This results in an essentially T-shaped arrangement of the blowing nozzles 20, 21, the blowing nozzles 21 extending away from the blowing nozzles 20 towards the center of the disk 2, as can be clearly seen from FIGS. 6 and 6a.
  • this T-shaped arrangement of the blowing nozzles results in a reliable ejection of objects of different shapes, whereby the objects to be ejected in a direction from by the blowing nozzles 21, which are inclined against the horizontal are blown away from the disc, which has an outwardly directed radial component.
  • body 22 with an essentially round cross section, but also body 23 with a rather flat or oval cross section can be safely ejected over the edge 45 of the pane 2.
  • the other structure of the disc 2 may be the same as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 and 4.
