Description

  The present invention relates to recycling of an image forming apparatus, and more particularly, to a dry cleaning apparatus and a dry cleaning method for cleaning a collected product, and a packaging member used for these.

  Office equipment manufacturers that produce image forming devices such as copiers, printers, and facsimiles collect used products and units from users to disassemble, clean, and reassemble them to realize a resource-recycling society. We are actively engaged in recycling activities that are used as parts and as materials. Here, in order to reuse the parts used in products, units, etc., it is necessary to remove and clean the toner and developer that are fine particle powder adhering to the parts. Reducing the cost and environmental load in the conversion process has become a major issue.

  When a wet cleaning method using water or a solvent is adopted as the above-described cleaning process, energy consumption and environmental impact during the treatment of waste liquid containing fine particle powder and the drying process performed after cleaning are large, and high Cost is also a problem. In addition, when the dry cleaning method using air blow is adopted, the cleaning process for toner with strong adhesion is not sufficient, and post-processing such as manual wiping is necessary. Is one of the bottleneck processes.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an air flow is generated in the cleaning tank, and a large amount of flakes or particles called a cleaning medium that is lightweight and easy to fly is placed on the air stream and stirred at a high speed in the cleaning tank. A method of separating powder dirt adhering to the object to be cleaned by continuously contacting the object to be cleaned is proposed in “Patent Document 1” by the same applicant as the present applicant. According to this method, it has been confirmed by experiments that a cleaning performance equivalent to or higher than that of ultrasonic cleaning is exhibited particularly when a flexible lamellar cleaning medium is used.

  FIG. 3 shows a dry cleaning apparatus adopting the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a dry cleaning apparatus 22 is packaged in a cleaning tank 23, a circulating airflow generating nozzle 24 as a cleaning medium circulation means, a high-speed airflow generating nozzle 25 as a cleaning medium acceleration means, a cleaning medium regeneration means 26, and a packaging member 28. An object-to-be-cleaned holding means 29 for fixing the object to be cleaned 27, packaging member processing means 30 and the like are provided.

  The cleaning tank 23 having a cleaning medium similar to the cleaning target 27 and the cleaning medium 9 has a lid 31 that can be opened and closed at the upper part thereof. The circulating airflow generation nozzle 24 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 23 and discharges the airflow generated by the airflow generation means (not shown) in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The high-speed airflow generation nozzle 25 is disposed so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the front surface of the cleaning tank 23, and generates an airflow toward the inner center of the cleaning tank 23. The cleaning medium regeneration means 26 includes a punching metal 32 constituting the back surface of the cleaning tank 23, a suction duct 33 disposed on the rear side of the cleaning tank 23, and a cleaner 34 connected to the suction duct 33.

The punching metal 32 is formed with a plurality of holes of a size that the cleaning medium cannot pass through, and the cleaning medium floating inside the cleaning tank 23 is attracted to the punching metal 32 by the operation of the cleaner 34. Only the deposit adhered to the cleaning medium is sucked by the cleaner 34 through the suction duct 33.

  The object-to-be-cleaned holding means 29 is disposed in the center of the cleaning tank 23 so that the object to be cleaned 27 is fixed, and is connected to the object-to-be-cleaned posture changing mechanism 37. The to-be-cleaned body posture changing mechanism 37 has a rotating shaft arranged in parallel with the high-speed airflow generating nozzle 25, and is discharged from the high-speed airflow generating nozzle 25 by rotating the to-be-cleaned body 27 fixed to the rotating shaft. It functions so that the generated airflow acts on the entire surface of the cleaning object 27.

  A packaging member processing means 30 is disposed near the back surface of the cleaning tank 23. The packaging member processing means 30 has four first rotary blades 35 as cutting means, one second rotary blade 36 as cutting means, and the like. As shown in FIG. 4, the first rotary blade 35 is configured by implanting a plurality of blade portions 35b in a cylindrical portion 35a, and the interval between the blade portions 35b is equal to the length of one side of the cleaning medium to be processed. It is configured to be the same. The second rotary blade 36 is also configured in the same manner as the first rotary blade 35, and the rotary blades 35 and 36 are arranged orthogonal to each other, and the interval between the two does not prevent the packaging member 28 from passing and the packaging. The interval is set so as not to prevent the cleaning medium processed from the member 28 from flying.

Based on the above-described configuration, the operation of the dry cleaning apparatus 22 will be described below.
The operator opens the lid 10 of the cleaning tank 2 to fix the object to be cleaned 27 packed by the packaging member 28 on the object to be cleaned holding means 29 and presses a start key (not shown) of the dry cleaning device 22. When the start key is pressed, the lid 31 is closed and the circulating airflow generation nozzle 24, the high-speed airflow generation nozzle 25, and the cleaner 13 are activated, and the airflow discharged from the high-speed airflow generation nozzle 25 serves as a gap creating means. By acting, the packaging member 28 bulges toward the packaging member processing means 30.

  Then, each rotary blade 35 and 36 starts high speed rotation. At this time, the second rotary blade 36 rotates at a sufficiently higher speed than the posture changing speed of the cleaning target 27 by the cleaning target posture changing mechanism 37. As the rotary blades 35 and 36 rotate, the blade portions implanted in the rotary blades 35 and 36 come into contact with the packaging member 28 swelled by the air current, and the packaging member 28 has vertical and horizontal orientations as shown in FIG. Many notches are formed. Next, the to-be-cleaned body posture changing mechanism 37 is actuated to rotate the to-be-cleaned body 27, and the other part of the packaging member 28 bulges in the same manner as described above to form a new notch. By repeating this operation, the packaging member 28 is gradually cut to reduce its strength, and finally separated from the cleaning object 27 by the impact of the air current discharged from the high-speed air current generating nozzle 25.

  Since a large number of crossed cuts have already been formed in the separated packaging member 28, it is broken down into a large number of flaky small pieces by impact while circulating and flying through the cleaning tank 23. The packaging member 28 disassembled into small pieces circulates in the cleaning tank 23 as a cleaning medium, and comes into contact with the cleaning tank 23, the object 27 to be cleaned, and the rotary blades 35 and 36 to remove dirt. When the dry cleaning process is completed, the circulating air flow generation nozzle 24, the high-speed air flow generation nozzle 25, and the cleaner 13 stop operating, and the operator releases the lid 31 and takes out the object 27 to be cleaned. In this embodiment, since the packaging member 28 slightly remains in the vicinity of the cleaning object holding means 29, the remaining packaging member 28 is separated and discarded by the operator when the cleaning object 27 is taken out.

  According to the above-described configuration, the same effect as that of the above embodiment is exhibited, and the packaging member 28 is separated from the cleaning target 27 in the cleaning tank 23. Therefore, the cleaning target 27 does not scatter powder dirt outside the apparatus. Can be taken out from the packaging member 28 and the environmental load can be reduced. Also, by simultaneously unpacking and dry cleaning, the burden on the operator can be reduced and the process can be shortened. Further, since the rotary blades 35 and 36 are arranged on the downstream side of the high-speed airflow generating nozzle 25, dirt does not accumulate due to contact with the cleaning medium accelerated by the high-speed airflow, and the cleaning and maintenance work of the cleaning device is troublesome. Is reduced.

  6 and 7 show a dry cleaning apparatus employing the third embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a dry cleaning apparatus 38 is packaged in a cleaning tank 39, a circulating air flow generation nozzle 44 as a cleaning medium circulation means, a cleaning medium acceleration means (not shown), a cleaning medium regeneration means 46, and a packaging member 41 similar to the above embodiment. Further, the cleaning target holding means 42 for fixing the target cleaning target 40, the packaging member processing means 43, the impact member 45, and the like are provided.

  The cleaning tank 39 that holds the object to be cleaned 40 and the cleaning medium 47 has a lid 48 that can be freely opened and closed. The circulating airflow generation nozzle 44 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 39 and discharges the airflow generated by the airflow generation means (not shown) in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The cleaning medium regeneration means 46 has a punching metal 49 that forms the back surface of the cleaning tank 39, a suction duct 50 disposed below the punching metal 49, and a cleaner (not shown) connected to the suction duct 50. ing. The punching metal 49 is formed with a plurality of holes having a size such that the cleaning medium 47 cannot pass through. The cleaning medium 47 floating inside the cleaning tank 39 is activated in the punching metal 49 when a cleaner (not shown) is operated. Only the adhering matter attracted and attached to the cleaning medium 47 is sucked by a cleaner (not shown) through the suction duct 50.

  Here, the packaging member 41 used in this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the thin resin packaging member 41 has a tear tape 41a as a cutting auxiliary means, and a perforation 41b as a tearing means is formed on the entire surface. The perforation 41b is formed in a size that can be used as the cleaning medium 47 when the packaging member 41 is individually disassembled. With this configuration, the packaging member 41 is divided into two when the tear tape 41a is removed, and can be disassembled individually from each perforation 41b when an impact is applied.

  The object-to-be-cleaned holding means 42 is disposed in the center of the cleaning tank 39 so that the object to be cleaned 40 is fixed, and is connected to the object-to-be-cleaned driving means (not shown). The cleaning object holding means 42 is formed with an insertion port into which the tear tape 41a of the packaging member 41 can be inserted. The cleaning object driving means moves the cleaning object holding means 6 so that the cleaning object 40 can move in the vertical direction of FIG. Packaging member processing means 43 is disposed on the lower surface of the cleaning body holding means 42. The packaging member processing means 43 includes a feed roller pair 51 as a packaging member separating means, a rotary blade 52 as a cutting means, and the like. The feed roller pair 51 is configured to remove the tear tape 41a inserted from the insertion opening from the packaging member 41, and the rotary blade 52 has a plurality of blades in its axial direction. The impact member 45 has a cone shape and is fixed to one side surface of the cleaning tank 39.

Based on the above configuration, the operation of the dry cleaning apparatus 38 will be described below.
The operator opens the lid 48 of the cleaning tank 39 to fix the object to be cleaned 40 packaged by the packaging member 41 on the object to be cleaned holding means 42, and inserts the end of the tear tape 41a into the insertion slot. Thereafter, when a start key (not shown) of the dry cleaning device 38 is pressed, the lid 48 is closed and the feed roller pair 51 starts to operate, and the tear tape 41a is wound around the feed roller pair 51. The wound tear tape 41 a is processed into a thin piece shape by the rotary blade 52. The packaging member 41 from which the tear tape 41 a has been removed is separated into two and falls into the cleaning tank 39.

  Thereafter, when the airflow discharged from the circulating airflow generating nozzle 44 or the cleaning medium accelerating means (not shown) acts on the wrapping member 41 and an impact is applied to the wrapping member 41, each perforation 41b is broken and the wrapping member 41 is broken. Is broken down into a large number of flakes. In the present embodiment, since the impact member 45 is arranged on the circulation path along which the packaging member 41 moves, the breaking of the packaging member 41 is promoted. The packaging member 41 that has been broken and processed into the cleaning medium 47 falls to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 39, and the powder dirt adhered to the surface is removed by the cleaning medium regeneration means 46. Then, the airflow is discharged from the circulating airflow generation nozzle 44 and the cleaning medium acceleration means (not shown) is activated to start the dry cleaning process, and the cleaning medium 47 circulating in the cleaning tank 39 collides with the object to be cleaned 40. Thus, dry cleaning of the object to be cleaned 40 is performed.

  With the above-described configuration, the same effects as in the above embodiments can be obtained, and the packaging member 41 having the tear tape 41a can reduce the configuration necessary for processing the packaging member 41 into the cleaning medium 47. You can go down. Moreover, it is also possible to change the fracture size and the fracture shape of the packaging member 41 according to the purpose of cleaning the body to be cleaned 40. This makes it possible to adjust the cleaning ability, for example, the packaging member that wraps the unit in the non-disassembled state is configured to be divided into relatively large sized pieces so that it does not easily enter between the non-disassembled parts, On the other hand, if it is a disassembled part and the object to be cleaned is such that dirt remains inside the corners such as ribs, the packaging member is configured to be smaller and more acutely disassembled.

  As a packaging member that can be used in the modification of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a packaging member 53 that has a tear tape 53a and that has a belt shape by removing the tear tape 53a may be used. By using this packaging member 53, the packaging member 53 becomes a strip shape when passing through the feed roller pair 51, and is processed into a thin piece shape by the rotary blade 52. Therefore, the packaging member 53 is processed into the cleaning medium 47 without giving an impact. Therefore, the impact member 45 is not required, and the configuration can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the cleaning medium obtained by processing the packaging member remains in the cleaning tank, which contributes to the cleaning of the object to be cleaned next time. The cleaning medium gradually wears with use, but the worn cleaning medium is discharged to the outside of the cleaning tank by the cleaning medium regenerating means. However, according to the present invention, since a new packaging member is supplied to the dry cleaning apparatus as the object to be cleaned is input, a certain amount or more of the cleaning medium is always present in the cleaning tank, thereby preventing a decrease in cleaning performance. Is done.
