BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(21) The best mode for carrying out the present invention is directed to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials which may include, but is not limited to, a crusher 100 adapted to accommodate waste raw materials mixed with slag and waste metals and take slag off from waste metals by applying impacts, and a separator 400 adapted to separate the waste metals and slag which have been taken off by the crusher 100. The crusher 100 may include a base 110 installed on the ground, a crushing drum 120 which is formed of an inlet 121a and an outlet 121b configured to receive and discharge the waste raw materials via them and is able to cause impacts while rotating, a crushing motor 130 which is mounted on the base 110 and is adapted to generate torque to the crushing drum 120, and a crushing support roller 140 which is mounted on the base 110 and is able to support the crushing drum 120.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(22) The apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. There may be multiple embodiments, and the objects, features and advantages of the present invention can be well understood by way of such embodiments.

(23) FIG. 4 is a view illustrating the whole configuration of a method and apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is a detailed configuration view illustrating a method and apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention.

(24) As illustrated in FIG. 4, the method for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention may include, but is not limited to, a step S10 for preparing waste raw materials mixed with slag and waste metals, a step S20 for taking slag off from the waste metals by applying impacts to the waste raw materials, and a step S30 for separating the waste metals from the slag.

(25) Since the waste raw materials are previously prepared, and the slag is taken off from the waste metals by applying impacts to the waste raw materials and is separated therefrom, the waste metals and slag can be recycled by an easier and quicker method, thus maximizing the recycling.

(26) In the step S30, since the waste metals are separated by size and recycled, the invention may be more useful when melting and recycling the waste metals.

(27) In the step S10, the waste raw materials may include a lump of the waste raw materials which has been previously cut using a plasma.

(28) If the waste raw materials are too large, it may be a little hard to take the slag off from the waste metals. In this case, it is preferred that the large waste raw materials are quickly previously cut in advance using a plasma torch into pieces of 3011200 mm which are large enough to be inserted into the blast furnace for the sake of recycling melting.

(29) In the step S10, it is preferred that a lump of the waste raw materials may be cut using plasma after it has been previously shot-processed.

(30) Since the slag is taken off after a lump of the waste raw materials has been shot-processed, it can be more easily cut when cutting with a plasma torch, whereby workability can be maximized, and the purity of metals can be greatly enhanced when recycling.

(31) After the step S20, there may be a step S20+1, wherein the waste metals and slag are rotated together, thus taking the residual slag off from the waste metals and cleaning them.

(32) If any slag remains at the waste metals, impurities may be added due to the slag during the recycling, whereby a good quality melting and recycling may be difficult. In this case, since it needs to additionally eliminate slag during the melting and recycling processes of the waste metals, a recycling efficiency may be greatly degraded. Different from the aforementioned method, the present invention makes it possible to separate the residual slag from the waste metals right after the slag have been taken off from the waste metals right before they are solidified again. For this reason, a quicker and better quality recycling can be carried out. In particular, since it is possible to take the residual slag off from the waste metals while rotating the taken-off waste metals and slag together, the cleaning effect of the waste metals can be greatly enhanced.

(33) In the step S30, the waste metals can be separated from the slag using the magnetic force of the electromagnet, the waste metals can be more readily and quickly separated from the slag with the aid of the attachment and detachment of the waste metals since the electric current is turned on and off.

(34) In the steps S10 and S30, any dusts may be collected by the dust collector 500, thus preventing in advance any air contamination, and any dust, for example, slag dust, etc. which may attach to the waste metals can be more reliably eliminated.

(35) Meanwhile, in the step S30, the slag may be separated and recycled into a land reclamation material (a soil for land reclamation).

(36) As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention may include, but is not limited to, a crusher 100 configured to accommodate waste raw materials mixed with slag and waste metals and adapted to take slag off from waste metals by applying impacts thereto, and a separator 400 adapted to separate the waste metals and slag which have been taken off by the crusher 100.

(37) The slag can be quickly taken off from the waste metals by applying impacts to the waste raw materials by using the crusher 100, and then immediately the waste metals and slag are separated by the separator 400, whereupon the waste metals and slag can be produced in a quicker and easier way, thus greatly enhancing the recycling efficiency.

(38) FIG. 6A is a front view illustrating a crusher 100 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention. FIG. 6B is a plane view illustrating a crusher 100 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention. The waste raw materials are inputted into a waste raw material input hopper (H) and are moved up on a waste raw material conveyer (C) and are filled into the crusher 100 via a mouth 121a of the crushing drum 120.

(39) As illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the crusher 100 adapted to the apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention may include, but is not limited to, a base 110 installed on the ground, a crushing drum 120 which is formed of an inlet 121a and an outlet 121b configure to receive and discharge waste raw materials via them, a crushing motor 130 mounted on the base 110 and adapted to provide torque to the crushing drum 120, and a crushing support roller 140 adapted to support the crushing drum 120.

(40) The slag can be taken off from the waste metals since the crushing drum 120 is rotated by the torque of the crushing motor 130 in a state where it is being supported by the crushing support roller 140, thus causing impacts to the waste raw materials, whereby the work can be quickly carried out, and a more reliable taking-off work can be carried out.

(41) Since the steel balls 150 intended to cause impacts to the waste raw materials are filled in the crushing drum 120, stronger impacts can be applied to the waste raw materials, by means of which the taking-off operation between the waste metals and slag can be improved to the maximum.

(42) Since the crushing support roller 140 is formed of a tire 141, any frictional force which might occur during the rotation of the crushing drum 120 can be minimized.

(43) Meanwhile, it is preferred that the torque of the crushing motor 130 is designed to be transferred via a crushing sprocket 133 engaged to a crushing chain 132 engaged with crushing teeth 131 formed on the outer circumference of the crushing drum 120, whereby the transfer of the torque can be more readily carried out.

(44) In the present invention, the crusher 100 may include, but is not limited to, a position control rim 161 fixed on the outer circumference of the crushing drum 120, and a position control roller 162 mounted on the base 110 and adapted to hold both sides of the position control rim 161.

(45) Since any position deviations which might occur due to the concentrations of the waste raw materials at a predetermined position during the rotations of the crushing drum 120 can be compensated by the position control roller 162 and at both sides of the position control rim 161, which consequently makes it possible to carry out a safer taking-off work of the waste raw materials.

(46) The crushing drum 120 may further include a crushing duct 170 which is configured to communicate with the dust collector 500 adapted to suck and collect any dusts produced from the waste raw materials, so any flying dusts can be collected by the dust collector 500, thus preventing in advance any air contamination, and any slag dusts which might attach on the waste metals can be more reliably eliminated.

(47) The base 110 according to the present invention is engaged via a hinge 180 to the ground at the side of the outlet 121b of the crushing drum 120 and is configured to ascend or descend about the hinge 180 with the aid of a hydraulic cylinder 190 which is supported on the ground at the side of the inlet 121a of the crushing drum 120.

(48) If the base 110 ascends about the hinge 180 with the aid of the hydraulic cylinder 190, an inclination by means of which the side to the inlet 121a of the crushing drum 120 is raised upward, is made, so the waste metals and slag can be quickly pushed toward the outlet 121b. In this case, such a configuration may be more useful since it can be adjusted depending on the work condition.

(49) FIG. 6C is a cross sectional view illustrating a crushing drum 120 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention.

(50) As illustrated in FIG. 6C, the crushing drum 120 adapted to the present invention may include, but is not limited to, a cylindrical body 121 which is equipped with an inlet 121a and an outlet 121b, a cushioning plate 122 assembled to an inner side of the cylindrical body 121, and an abrasion resistant steel plate 123 which is assembled to an inner side of the cushioning plate 122 and is able to cause impacts to the waste raw materials.

(51) The cylindrical body 121 may maintain the whole frame, and the abrasion resistant steel plate 123 is assembled in a hexagonal piece shape, thus resisting against any friction with the waste raw materials, and the cushioning plate 122 is adapted to ensure a designed service life in such a way to minimize any impact effects from the abrasion resistant steel plate 123 to the cylindrical body 121.

(52) FIG. 7A is a front view illustrating a cleaner 200 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention. FIG. 7B is a plane view illustrating a cleaner 200 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention. FIG. 7C is a lateral view illustrating a cleaner 200 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention.

(53) As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 and FIGS. 7A to 7C, the apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention may further include a cleaner 200 which is able to clean the residual slag on the waste metals while rotating the waste metals and slag which have been taken off by the crusher 100 and is able to transfer them to the separator 400 via the transfer conveyer 210.

(54) Since the cleaner 200 is able to take the residual slag off from the waste metals immediately before the slag and the waste metals are solidified together after they have been separated, the cleaning effects of the waste metals, namely, the slag eliminating effects can be greatly improved.

(55) FIG. 7D is a cross sectional view illustrating a porous cleaning drum 220 and a cylindrical porous cleaning case 230 which are intended to define the configuration of a cleaner 200 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention. FIG. 7E is a front view illustrating a porous cleaning drum 220 and a cylindrical cleaning case 230 which are intended to define the configuration of a cleaner 200 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention.

(56) As illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7E, the cleaner 200 according to the present invention may include, but is not limited to, a porous cleaning drum 220 which is equipped with an INPUT 221 and an OUTPUT 222 configured to receive and discharge the waste metals and slag together which have been taken off from each other by the crusher 100 and drop small-particles and discharge large-particles via the OUTPUT 222 by cleaning the residual slag on the waste metals while rotating, a supporter 240 which is equipped with a drop conveyer 250 adapted to guide the waste metals and slag which have been dropped and discharged from the porous cleaning drum 220, to drop onto the transfer conveyer 210, a cleaning motor 260 adapted to provide torque to the porous cleaning drum 220, and a cleaning support roller 270 which is mounted on the supporter 240 and is able to support the porous cleaning drum 220.

(57) Since the porous cleaning drum 220 can clean the residual slag off the waste metals and let the micro particles drop downward and the large-particles to be discharged via the OUTPUT 222, it is possible to prevent in advance any potential problem which might occur if the cleaning is unavailable in case where the waste metals are covered with the micro particles.

(58) The porous cleaning drum 220 is made in a polygonal shape, whereby the impacts caused to the waste metals and slag can be maximized during the rotations thereof.

(59) The cylindrical porous cleaning case 230 may be further engaged to the outer circumference of the porous cleaning drum 220 since the residual slag won't take off well in case of the waste metals and slag of micro particles. The micro particles taken off from the porous cleaning drum 220 may repeatedly collide inside the cylindrical porous cleaning case 230, whereby the residual slag can be taken off again from the waste metals of micro particles, so the cleaning effects of the waste metals can be greatly improved.

(60) FIG. 7F is a lateral view illustrating an upper cleaning housing 281 and a lower cleaning housing 282 which are intended to define the configuration of a cleaner 200 which is adapted to an apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention.

(61) As illustrated in FIG. 7F, there are further provided an upper cleaning housing 281 and a lower cleaning housing 282 which are fixed at the supporter 240 and are disposed covering the outer circumference of the cylindrical porous cleaning case 230, thus protecting the porous cleaning drum 220 and the porous cleaning case 230.

(62) The upper cleaning housing 281 may further include a cleaning duct 283 which can communicate with the dust collector 500 provided to suck and collect the dust generating from the waste metals and slag, and the lower cleaning housing 282 may further include a cleaning hopper 284 disposed toward the drop conveyer 250.

(63) Moreover, a cleaning blade 223 may be engaged at an inner side of the porous cleaning drum 220 and may be formed spiral from the INPUT 221 to the OUTPUT 222, thus the waste metals and slag can be pushed from the INPUT 221 to the OUTPUT 222 during the rotations thereof.

(64) The torque of the cleaning motor 260 may be transferred via the cleaning sprocket 263 engaged to the cleaning chain 262 engaged with the cleaning teeth 261 formed at the outer circumference of the porous cleaning drum 220, by means of which the transfer of the torque can be more readily carried out.

(65) Moreover, the cleaning support roller 270 may be formed of a steel roller 272 contacting with the tire ring 271 provided at the outer circumference of the porous cleaning drum 220, whereupon the porous cleaning drum 220 can rotate more smoothly.

(81) More specifically, the separator 400 may include, but is not limited to, a small-particle waste metal conveyer 411, a medium-particle waste metal conveyer 412 and a large-particle waste metal conveyer 413 which are disposed in parallel at the small-particle conveyer 331, the medium-particle conveyer 332, and the large-particle conveyer 333, a slag conveyer 414 which is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the lower side of an end portion of each of the small-particle conveyer 331, the medium-particle conveyer 332 and the large-particle conveyer 333 and is able to transfer slag, a small-particle electromagnetic module 421 which is disposed at the top of the small-particle conveyer 331 and is able to separate the waste metals from the slag with the aid of magnetic force and drop them onto the small-particle waste metal conveyer 411, a medium-particle electromagnetic module 422 which is disposed at the top of the medium-particle conveyer 332 and is able to separate the waste metals from the slag with the aid of magnetic force and drop them onto the medium-particle waste metal conveyer 412, and a large-particle electromagnetic module 423 which is disposed at the top of the large-particle conveyer 333 and is able to separate the waste metals from the slag with the aid of magnetic force and drop them onto the large-particle waste metal conveyer 413.

(82) The small-particle waste metal conveyer 411, the medium-particle waste metal conveyer 412 and the large-particle waste metal conveyer 413 are disposed in parallel at the small-particle conveyer 331, the medium-particle conveyer 332, and the large-particle conveyer 333, whereby the waste metals can be quickly transferred by size, and the slag conveyer 414 is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the lower side of an end portion of each of the small-particle conveyer 331, the medium-particle conveyer 332 and the large-particle conveyer 333, respectively, thus transferring the slag at a time, and the waste metals can be sorted out by size from the slag with the aid of the small-particle electromagnetic module 421 (the magnetic force can be controlled with the on and off of the current), the medium-particle electromagnetic module 422 (the magnetic force can be controlled with the on and off of the current), and the large-particle electromagnetic module 423 (the magnetic force can be controlled with the on and off of the current), whereby the work can be carried quicker.

(83) The small-particle waste metals transferred via the small-particle waste metal conveyer 411, the medium-particle waste metals transferred via the medium-particle waste metal conveyer 412, and the large-particle waste metals transferred via the large-particle waste metal conveyer 413 can be melted by size and recycled by the method and apparatus for recycling waste raw materials according to the present invention, and the slag transferred via the slag conveyer 414 can be recycled into a land reclamation material. For this reason, the present invention may contribute to a resource recycling while preventing in advance any environment contamination.
