BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
1. Field of the invention 
The present invention relates to a solid substance granulating apparatus 
loaded on a vehicle, which is able to treat inorganic solid substances, 
that is, is able to move to various places such as places where 
incombustibles are collected, sightseeing places, etc. to crush inorganic 
solid substances such as glass products, chinaware, bricks, etc., to 
granulate crushed substances by removing sharp edges of the crushed 
substances, to screen crushed substances to various kinds of grain sizes. 
2. Prior Arts 
Recently, treatment of inorganic substances such as incombustibles has been 
a problem due to an increase of glass products and products made of 
chinaware, bricks, etc. 
Conventionally, after inorganic solid substances such as glass products, 
chinaware, bricks, etc. are collected at a predetermined place, a 
collecting vehicle collects, and conveys the same to a treatment facility 
which is provided with apparatuses for crushing, granulating and 
screening, etc. of those inorganic solid substances, wherein they are 
finally treated. 
It is expensive and time consuming to convey inorganic solid substances 
such as glass products, etc. of glass bottles, etc. to a treatment 
facility. Therefore, the inorganic solid substances are infrequently 
gathered by a collecting vehicle. A problem arises where the collection 
and treatment capacity of inorganic solid substances such as glass 
products, chinaware, bricks, etc. does not catch up with the quantity of 
discharged solid substances. 
Furthermore, such a problem exists, where the collected inorganic solid 
substances are very bulky compared to the transpotation means. In such a 
situation, the transpotation are efficiency declines, and a great deal of 
inorganic solid substances can not be transported at a time. 
Therefore, a transportable type glass crushing system was developed. The 
transpotation system included, on the deck of a vehicle such as a truck, a 
glass crushing machine, a charging device for charging glass products such 
as glass bottles, etc. into a charging port of the glass crushing machine, 
a transfer device connected to the lower part of the glass crushing 
machine in order to transfer crushed substances crushed by the glass 
crushing machine, a grain size screening device for screening and 
classifying the crushed substances to grain sizes, and a dust collector 
connected to the glass crushing machine. 
However, in the abovementioned glass crushing machine, there are still the 
following shortcomings: 
It is difficult to re-use crushed inorganic solid substances because sharp 
edges of the crushed substances may injure workers' hands when treating 
the crushed substances. 
Furthermore, in order to re-use crushed substances, it is necessary to 
transport the collected crushed inorganic solid substances to a treatment 
facility which has a granulating apparatus for removing sharp edges of 
crushed substances and granulating the same, whereby the working 
efficiency after the crushing treatment is poor, the working environments 
of workers may be worsened due to dust and dirt generated in the process 
of granulating the crushed substances to cause the sanitary condition to 
be worsened. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION AND ADVANTAGES THEREOF 
The invention was developed to solve the abovementioned conventional 
shortcomings, and it is an object of the invention to provide a solid 
substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle, which is able to move 
to a place of collection of inorganic solid substances such as glass 
products, chinaware, salt silicate minerals, etc. of tourmaline, etc., to 
crush and treat those inorganic solid substances, to automatically 
granulate in order to eliminate sharp edges, to screen the same, and to 
turn the same into recycled products, wherein the treatment efficiency of 
inorganic solid substances is excellent and the sanitary condition of the 
treatment work, etc. can be secured. 
In order to achieve the above objectives, a solid substance granulating 
apparatus according to the invention includes a vehicle, a crushing 
machine installed at the rear side of the deck of the vehicle, a charging 
device for charging inorganic solid substances into the crushing machine, 
a crushed substance transfer device connected to a crushed substance 
discharge portion of the crushing machine in order to transfer the crushed 
substance, and a screening device for screening and classifying the 
crushed substances to various kinds of grain sizes, the same comprises a 
granulating apparatus having a drum rotatably disposed at the downstream 
side of the crushed substance transfer device, a reception portion 
installed at the upstream side of the drum in order to receive crushed 
substances discharged from the crushed substance transfer device, a 
granulating means consisting of kick-back impellers interspersed at an 
appointed interval on the inner circumferential surface of the drum, a 
discharge port disposed at the other end of the drum, a supporting portion 
for supporting the drum, and a drive portion for driving and rotating the 
drum; and a granulated substance transfer device connected to the 
discharge portion of the granulating apparatus in order to transfer 
granulated substances into the screening device. 
With this construction, it is possible for a solid substance granulating 
apparatus to move to a collection place of inorganic solid substances, 
including isolated islands and sightseeing places, and to crush inorganic 
solid substances at various places. Furthermore, by a granulating 
apparatus thereof, it is possible to thoroughly granulate the solid 
substances in order to remove edges of crushed substances. Since it is 
possible to remove sharp edges of the crushed substances, it is possible 
to prevent workers' hands, etc. from being injured, and it is possible to 
prevent transfer vessels from being scratched by the sharp edges of 
crushed substances when transferring the same. The granulated substances 
can be screened and classified by a screening device according to grain 
sizes, etc., and the recycling thereof can be easily facilitated. That is, 
inorganic solid substances can be fully automatically crushed and 
granulated on a vehicle, whereby the working efficiency of collection work 
of glass bottles, etc. can be improved. 
As described above, according to the solid substance granulating apparatus 
loaded on a vehicle according to the invention, the following excellent 
effects can be achieved. 
Since a crushing machine, and a granulating apparatus, a screening device 
are installed on the deck of a vehicle, they can be moved to any 
collection place of incombustibles, and crushing, granulating and 
screening treatments of inorganic solid substances such as glass bottles 
can be fully automatically carried out on the deck of a vehicle and the 
operation thereof can be continuously performed. A great deal of inorganic 
solid substances can be treated in a short time. That is, the treatment 
efficiency of inorganic solid substances is excellent. 
Since the drum of the granulating apparatus is provided with kick-back 
impellers at appointed positions on the inner circumferential wall, the 
crushed substances are brought into collision with the kick-back impellers 
by only causing the drum to rotate and simultaneously they are brought 
into collision with each other to facilitate the granulating treatment. 
Therefore, it is easy to granulate crushed substances of inorganic solid 
substances. 
Since the drum of the granulating apparatus is disposed with an inclination 
angle of 0.degree. to 20.degree. with the charging port made higher than 
the discharge port, inorganic solid substances can be automatically 
discharged by only rotating the drum while granulating the inorganic solid 
substances, wherein the discharge efficiency of granulated substances is 
excellent. 
Since the kick-back impellers, which are formed with 20.degree. to 
80.degree. with respect to the axial line of the drum at a height of 1/20 
to 1/3 the diameter of the drum, are provided on the inner circumferential 
surface of the drum of the granulating apparatus, crushed substances are 
brought into collision with the kick-back impellers and they are caused to 
stay in the drum, whereby the granulating treatment can be carried out to 
such a degree that a worker does not feel edges when touching them. It is 
possible to prevent any accident, where workers' hands are injured in the 
treatment work, from occurring. Therefore, the safety can be improved in 
the operation. 
Since a paper, etc. separating device is equipped at the downstream side of 
the granulated substance transfer device, paper, etc. mixed in the 
granulated substances can be blown off by applying the jet air from the 
air jetting portion to the granulated substances charged through the 
granulated substance charging port of the paper, etc. separating device. 
The paper, etc. removed by a dust collector can be collected, and it is 
possible to make compact and collect granulated substances of inorganic 
solid substances. The storage efficiency can be improved after the 
granulating treatment. 
Since granulated substances can be collected after being screened by a 
screening device according to the grains sizes, the treatment efficiency 
of the granulated substances can be improved after the collection. 
Since a dust collector is also secured on the deck, it is possible to 
prevent dust and dirt resulting from the crushing operation from being 
scattered. The working environment can be improved. 
Since an upward turnable wing type deck cover is provided on the deck, one 
side or both sides of the deck can be opened, whereby the installation and 
maintenance the respective devices can be easily carried out, and the work 
efficiency is excellent.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
A solid substance granulating apparatus includes a vehicle vehicle such as 
a truck, etc.; a crushing machine installed at the rear side of the deck 
of the vehicle; a charging device for charging inorganic solid substances 
such as glass products and chinaware, etc. into the crushing machine; a 
crushed substance transfer device connected to a crushed substance 
discharge portion of the crushing machine and used for transferring the 
crushed substance; and a screening device for screening and classifying 
the crushed substances to various kinds of grain sizes; and which further 
comprises 
a granulating apparatus having a drum rotatably disposed at the downstream 
side of the crushed substance transfer device; a reception portion 
disposed at the upstream side of the drum in order to receive crushed 
substances discharged from the crushed substance transfer device; 
kick-back impellers interspersed at an appointed interval on the inner 
circumferential surface of the drum; a discharge port disposed at the 
other end of the drum; a supporting portion for supporting the drum; and a 
drive portion for driving and rotating the drum, and 
a granulated substance transfer device connected to the discharge portion 
of the granulating apparatus in order to transfer granulated substances 
into the screening device. 
Thereby, it is possible for the solid substance granulating apparatus to 
move to any optional place, to crush inorganic solid substances such as 
glass products, and to carry out a granulating treatment for removing 
sharp edges of crushed substances, and further it is possible for its 
screening device to screen and classify the granulated substances 
according to grain sizes. That is, the solid substance granulating 
apparatus has an action by which crushing and granulation of inorganic 
solid substances can be automatically carried out on a deck of a vehicle. 
Furthermore, since the solid substance granulating apparatus is provided 
with kick-back impellers interspersed at an appointed interval on the 
inner circumferential wall of the drum thereof, the crushed substances 
charged in the drum which are driven and rotated are brought into 
collision with the kick-back impellers to cause the crushed substances to 
be brought into collision with each other while being pushed back to the 
charging port of the drum. Therefore, it is possible to granulate the 
crushed substances by removing their sharp edges. 
Herein, the drum of the granulating apparatus is made of materials of 
excellent mechanical strength such as wear-resisting steel plate, and 
further in a case where the inner circumferential wall of the drum is 
lined with rubber or ceramic is flame-sprayed thereon, it is possible to 
prevent the inner circumferential wall from being worn due to crushed 
substances, thereby causing the durability of the drum to be increased. 
Furthermore, in a case where an anti-noise material is provided for the 
outer circumferential wall of the drum, it is possible to prevent noise 
from being generated when carrying out a granulating treatment of crushed 
substances. Foamed resin or foamed rubber may be preferably used as an 
anti-noise material. 
In a case where a metallic bar-like member or one to which ceramic is 
flame-sprayed is disposed onto the inner circumferential wall of the drum 
in parallel to the axial direction of a drum, the crushed substances are 
prevented from slipping along the inner circumferential wall of the drum. 
The number of times of collision is increased to cause the granulation 
treatment efficiency of crushed substances to be improved. Furthermore, in 
a case where a solid bar, a hollow bar, etc. are disposed on the inner 
circumferential wall of the drum orthogonally to the axial direction of 
the drum, the surface of collision of crushed substances in the drum can 
be increased, and the granulation efficiency of crushed substances can be 
improved. 
Still furthermore, in a case where guide impellers (feeding impellers) 
which guide crushed substances to the discharge port side of the drum are 
provided at the charging port side of the drum in addition to the 
kick-back impellers, it is possible to prevent crushed substances from 
being accumulated in the vicinity of the charging portion of the drum, and 
the flow of crushed substances for granulation treatment can be improved. 
It is better that in order to install the crushing machine on the deck of a 
vehicle, the dimensions such as height, width, etc. thereof are small, and 
the weight thereof is light. Preferably, a crushing machine which the 
present applicant previously filed for patent and which is provided with a 
crushing roller having crushing elements on its outer circumferential 
surface in its cylindrical crushing chamber may be used. 
A charging device may be a conveyor such as a bucket type conveyor which is 
able to vertically move and charge inorganic solid substances such as 
glass bottles, etc. while turning at an appointed degree of angle at the 
solid substance charging port of the crushing machine, a conveyor having a 
belt with crosspieces, a pivot type conveyor having rotatable buckets, or 
other bucket type conveyor having buckets. 
As a crushed substance transfer device and a granulated substance transfer 
device, a conveyor having a belt with crosspieces, a screw type conveyor 
can be preferably used. 
A solid substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle according to 
the invention is constructed so that the drum of the granulated substance 
has an inclination angular portion of 0.degree. to 20.degree., preferably 
2.degree. to 15.degree., and the charging port side of the drum is 
disposed higher than the discharge port side of the drum. 
Thereby, by only turning the drum, it is possible to transfer granulated 
substances to the discharge port side of the drum and to discharge the 
same from the granulating apparatus while granulating the crushed 
substances in the drum of the granulating apparatus. 
Herein, it is preferable that the inclination angle of the drum is 
2.degree. to 6.degree. when crushing glass products such as glass bottles, 
etc., 2.degree. to 8.degree. when crushing chinaware, etc., and 2.degree. 
to 12.degree. when crushing tourmaline. If the inclination angle of the 
drum is less than 0.degree., granulated substances can not be 
automatically discharged from the drum, and if the inclination angle of 
the drum exceeds 20.degree., the crushed substances in the drum are hardly 
accumulated in the drum and are not sufficiently granulated. Either case 
is unfavorable. 
Furthermore, in a case where a granulating apparatus is vertically movably 
installed and the height adjusting portion is disposed at one end portion, 
it is possible to optionally change the inclination angle of the drum 
according to the kinds of crushed substances and degree of granulation. 
Furthermore, in a case where the discharge side of the drum is formed to be 
tapered, it is possible to accumulate the crushed substances in the drum, 
whereby the granulated substances are further brought into collision with 
each other and are gradually discharged while further granulating the 
same. 
A solid substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle according to 
the invention is also constructed so that the kick-back impellers of the 
granulating apparatus is formed so as to have a height of 1/20 to 1/3 
times, preferably 1/10 to 1/4 times, the diameter of the drum, and are 
disposed at an inclination angle of 20.degree. to 80.degree., preferably 
45.degree. to 70.degree. with respect to the axial line of the drum. 
Thereby, the crushed substances charged in the drum of the granulating 
apparatus are brought into collision with the kick-back impellers, and 
they are accumulated in the drum by the damming effect thereof to cause 
the crushed substances to be repeatedly brought into collision with each 
other. Therefore, sharp edges of the crushed substances are removed to 
such a degree that no sharp edges are felt even the crushed substances are 
touched, wherein the crushed substances can be granulated. 
Furthermore, there is a tendency where it becomes difficult to obtain the 
damming effect if the height of the kick-back impellers becomes smaller 
than one-tenth of the diameter of the drum of the granulating apparatus. 
Furthermore, if the height of the impellers becomes bigger than one-fourth 
thereof, the damming effect is made too strong, whereby the accumulation 
time of the crushed substances in the drum is made longer, and the 
discharge treatment capacity of granulated substances may be spoiled. 
Either case is not favorable. 
Still furthermore, if the inclination angle of the kick-back impeller is 
made smaller than 45.degree. with respect to the axial direction of the 
drum, it will becomes difficult to obtain the damming effect thereof, and 
further if the inclination angle exceeds 70.degree., the damming effect is 
made too strong, whereby the accumulation time thereof in the drum is made 
longer to cause a tendency of powdering to appear. Either case is not 
favorable. Furthermore, kick-back impellers having different inclination 
angles may be installed on the inner circumferential wall of the drum. 
Thereby, the crushed substances are prevented from wake flows of the 
rotations of the drum to cause the number of times of collisions to be 
increased. 
A solid substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle according to 
the invention is constructed so that the same is further provided with a 
granulated substance charging port into which the granulated substances 
are charged; an air jetting portion formed to be like a slit in the 
direction orthogonal to the granulated substance charging port; a paper 
etc. discharge port formed, at the face opposite the air jetting portion, 
to be opened greater than said air jetting portion; and a granulated 
product take-out port formed on the bottom surface; and comprising a 
paper, etc. separating device disposed at the downstream side of the 
granulated substance transfer device; and a blower for feeding air to the 
air jetting portion. 
Thereby, air is applied from the air jetting portion to the crushed 
substances granulated through the granulated substance charging port, 
whereby it is possible to remove paper, etc. adhered to the granulated 
substances to be blown off. 
Herein, the air jetting portion may be formed by drilling a plurality of 
pores instead of forming the same so as to be like a slit. Furthermore, in 
a case where the jetting rate of air supplied by a blower is high, the air 
jetting portion is not formed to be like a slit, but an opening may be 
formed instead. 
Further, a reception plate which receives granulated substances may be 
disposed, although being downward of the granulated substance charging 
port, at almost the same height as that of the air jetting portion or at a 
little upward position thereof. Since it is possible to widen the contact 
area of the granulated substances dropped onto the reception plate with 
the jetting air and to lengthen the contacting time thereof, paper wastes, 
etc. may be blown away, and the reception plate is disposed upwards of the 
air jetting portion and the reception plate is vibrated as necessary, 
whereby the granulated substances from which paper, etc. is removed is 
dropped from the reception plate for separation of paper, etc. 
A solid substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle according to 
the invention is constructed so as to further comprise a dust suction port 
formed at the top plate or at the upper part of the side plate of the 
crushing machine, a suction tube connected to the paper, etc. discharge 
port of the paper, etc. separating device; and a dust collector connected 
to the suction tube in order to collect dust and paper, etc. 
Thereby, it is possible to prevent dust and dirt from being scattered on 
the deck of a vehicle when crushing inorganic solid substances and to 
prevent paper, etc. from being spattered thereon when separating paper, 
etc. Therefore, it is also possible to prevent the working environment 
from being worsened when crushing inorganic solid substances and/or 
collecting them. 
Herein, a dust collector may be of a filtering cloth type or a cyclone 
type, etc. 
A solid substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle according to 
the invention is constructed so as to comprises a frame member disposed on 
the deck, a cover reception portion disposed at the upper part of the 
frame member in parallel to the advancing direction of the vehicle; and a 
wing type deck cover swingably disposed at the cover reception portion. 
Thereby, the deck cover can be turned upwards and opened, it is possible to 
perform maintenance of the respective devices installed on the deck, and 
simultaneously since the deck cover is formed of a wing type which can be 
opened upwards, the respective devices can be prevented from rain drops, 
etc. by the deck cover even when the deck cover is opened. 
Herein, the deck cover may be a wing type which can turn only one-side 
portion of the deck upward or may be formed of a double-side wing type 
which can open both the sides of the deck.

constructed as described above, the actions for treating solid substances 
are described below. 
The solid substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle is moved to a 
collection place, etc. of inorganic substances such as glass bottles and 
the vehicle 2 of which is fixed by the vehicle fixing portions 19. Solid 
substances such as bottles collected from buckets 5a of the charging 
device 5 can be charged into the solid substance charging port of a 
crushing machine 4, and the charging device 5 is drawn out and is set at a 
position where a worker can put the collected solid substances in buckets 
5a. 
Next, inorganic solid substances such as glass bottles to be crushed are 
put in the buckets 5a of the charging device 5, and the buckets 5a are 
vertically moved. The buckets 5a are turned an appointed angle at the 
solid substance charging port of the crushing machine 4, whereby the 
inorganic solid substances are charged in the crushing machine 4 and 
thereby crushed. After inorganic solid substances are crushed in the 
crushing machine 4, the crushed substances are delivered onto a belt 
conveyor, with crosspieces, of the crushed substance transfer device 7 by 
the crushed substance discharge device 6 connected to the discharge 
portion of the crushing machine 4. Furthermore, the crushed substances are 
transferred to the reception portion 21 of the granulating apparatus 8 by 
the crushed substance transfer device 7 and are charged into the drum 20 
of the granulating apparatus 8. 
In the granulating apparatus 8, the drive portion 27 thereof drives a 
chain, etc. of the drive transmission portion 28 applied to the outer 
periphery of the drum 20 and the drum 20 is driven and rotated while 
supporting the drum 20 by the rail portion 23 disposed at the outer 
circumference of the drum 20 and the rotating roller 26 pivotally 
supported at the supporting portion 25. The edges of the crushed 
substances charged in the drum 20 are removed by being brought into 
collision with each other in the rotating drum 20, and they are brought 
into collision with the kick-back impellers 31 disposed at appointed 
positions on the inner circumferential wall of the drum 20 and are pushed 
back the reception portion 21 side of the granulating apparatus 8, wherein 
the edges of crushed substances are removed by being brought into 
collision with each other to cause then to be made grains having no sharp 
edges. Thereafter, the granulated substances are gradually transferred to 
the discharge port 22. 
Next, the granulated substances are discharged onto a belt, with 
crosspieces, of the granulated substance transfer device 9 connected to 
the discharge port 22 of the granulating apparatus 8 and are caused to 
fall down from the granulated substance charging port 32 formed on the 
upper surface of the paper, etc. separating device 10 connected to the 
downstream side of the granulated substance transfer device 9 into the 
paper, etc. separating device 10. The paper, etc. separating device 10 
jets air from the air jetting portion 33 connected to the blower 11 and 
applies the jet air to the granulated substances charged and falling down 
from the granulated substance charging port 32, whereby paper, etc. mixed 
in the granulated substances are blown off, the paper, etc. are discharged 
from the paper, etc. discharge port 34 formed at the face opposite to the 
air jetting portion 33 and are collected by the dust collector 14 
connected to the paper, etc. discharge port 34. Thereafter, the granulated 
products from which paper, etc. are separated are discharged through the 
granulated product take-out port 35. 
Next, the granulated products, from which paper, etc. are separated by the 
paper, etc. separating device 10 and are discharged by the granulated 
product take-out port 35 are transferred into the granulated product 
transfer device 12 consisting of a screw type conveyor and transferred to 
the screening device 13 connected to the granulated product transfer 
device 12, and they are screened and classified by the screening device 13 
according to the grain sizes. 
Furthermore, the respective devices are controlled by the control unit 16, 
whereby the treatment operation can be automatically carried out. 
Furthermore, the operation of the respective devices can be carried out by 
the operation panel 17. 
A solid substance granulating apparatus loaded on a vehicle according to 
the preferred embodiment is constructed as described above, and the same 
has the following actions. 
Since the respective devices such as a crushing machine, a granulating 
apparatus, screening device, etc. are installed on the deck of a vehicle, 
they can be moved to any optional place, where crushing of inorganic solid 
substances such as glass products, etc., granulating thereof, screening of 
the grain sizes of granulated substances, etc. can be automatically 
carried out on the vehicle, and the operation can be continuously 
controlled. 
Since the granulating apparatus is provided with the kick-back impellers on 
the inner circumferential wall of the driven and rotating drum thereof, 
the crushed substances transferred in the drum are brought into collision 
with the kick-back impellers and pushed back to the reception portion side 
of the granulating apparatus. Furthermore, the crushed substances are 
brought into collision with each other in the drum in order to facilitate 
the granulation. The kick-back impellers of the granulating apparatus are 
constructed so that the height thereof is made one-sixth the diameter of 
the drum and has an inclination angle of 70.degree. with respect to the 
axial line of the drum, the crushed substances charged in the drum can be 
sufficiently granulated by staying in the drum for an appointed duration 
of time to such a degree that none feels any edge when touching the 
crushed substances with hands. 
Since a paper, etc. separating device is equipped at the downstream side of 
the granulated substance transfer device, it is possible to remove paper, 
etc. mixed in the granulated substances by blowing off, and since a dust 
collector is connected to the paper, etc. discharge port of the paper, 
etc. separating device, the removed paper, etc. can be effectively 
collected by the dust collector. 
Since a wing-type deck cover which is turnable upwards is equipped on the 
deck, the side of the deck can be opened, whereby it is easy to carry out 
installation and maintenance of the respective devices, and simultaneously 
since the door portion is secured at the deck cover at the side portion of 
the screening device, it is easy to discharge the screened granulated 
products.
