## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a powder and granular material separation processing device, a powder and granular material separation processing method, and a powder and granular material separation and collection processing system that introduce by suction a mixture to be processed, in which powder and granular material with relatively large specific gravity and hardness and initially formed into a grit or shot shape with a grain diameter of several mm or less and accompanying lightweight foreign substances are mixed together, inside a system and separate the powder and granular material from the lightweight foreign substances by a dry method.
More specifically, the present invention according to the first basic application (JP 2011-213978 A) relates to the powder and granular material separation processing device and the powder and granular material separation processing method that are used to introduce by suction the mixture to be processed into a separation processing container connected to an external suction machine such as a dust collection device and an electric vacuum cleaner, separate the same using an airflow and a specific gravity difference with the control of a flow inside the container, and discharge the lightweight foreign substances to the outside of the system toward the external suction machine while collecting the powder and granular material inside the system.
In addition, the present invention according to the second basic application (JP 2012-1781 Y) relates to the powder and granular material separation and collection processing system that includes the powder and granular material separation processing device described above as a constituent device of a device system, houses upstream and downstream cooperation machines (devices) vacuum-connected to the powder and granular material separation processing device inside a single frame serving as a platform, and arranges the same in line in the order of processes to perform the processes systematically. Note that the terms of the device system and the system are interchangeably used.
Typical examples of the mixture to be processed used in the present invention can include one in which an abrasive (powder and granular material) subjected to a blast process by a dry air blast device and accompanying lightweight foreign substances are mixed together. The specific gravity of each of the abrasive (powder and granular material) and the lightweight foreign substances is one digit, and a difference in the specific gravity between them is relatively small.
Here, the abrasive is roughly divided into a metal system and a non-metal system. A metal abrasive is powder and granular material made of cast iron or cast steel, so-called a steel grit or a steel shot. A non-metal abrasive is grit or shot powder and granular material made of a natural mineral or a rock forming mineral (see, if necessary, the paragraph of an abrasive in the regulations of a blast processing method for conditioning JISZ0310 base metal).
Note that the term grit refers to an angulated grain, and the term shot refers to a less-angulated grain.
BACKGROUND ART
Conventionally, in order to collect waste plastics resulting from containers, electric appliance wastes, information equipment wastes, or the like as regenerative resins, a known cyclone type airflow applied separation device uses, as a mixture to be processed, crushed plastic granular material containing many lightweight foreign substances such as paper slips that is crushed to have a grain diameter of 10 mm or less and subjected to dry washing mainly for separating a degraded front surface layer (see, for example, Patent Literature 1).
Note that the cyclone type refers to a separation system that turns dust-containing gas (same as gas containing a mixture to be processed) and separates by centrifugalization powder and granular material or the like from the gas to be collected or classified.
Here, attention is given to the point that a centrifugal falling airflow containing granular material is collected as a rapidly-accelerated vortex flow at the lower space of the tip opening of an airflow discharge tube inside a cylinder by a partition plate with an opening at the center thereof, which promotes the function of separating the lightweight foreign substances from a solid content and increases floating separation efficiency with an upstream flow.
However, since the crushed waste plastics are required (allowed) to have a grain diameter of 10 mm or less, it is presumed that the distribution of the grain sizes is complex and bulk specific gravity is different. In short, it seems that the granular solid content resulting from the crushing and the lightweight foreign substances or the like with small bulk specific gravity such as a separated front surface abrasive layer (crushed fine powder), paper slips, and tape slips are floated and selected with the application of a cyclone type airflow.
On the other hand, there have been known some proposals that separate and collect used blast material (equivalent to the abrasive of the present invention) (see, for example, Patent Literatures 2, 3, 4, and 5). These conventional examples generally relate to filter separation, screening selection, wind selection, or floating selection.

In recent years, since “silica sand” among natural minerals is not used as a non-metal abrasive for blasting from the viewpoint of preventing silicosis, the alternative use of almandine garnet [Fe3Al2(SiO4)3] is on the increase. As representative properties, almandine garnet has specific gravity of 4.1 and Mohs hardness of 7.6 to 8.3. Note that garnet is now almost dependent on imports.
For example, as the properties of garnet powder and granular material (mixture to be processed) subjected to a blast process, the garnet powder and granular material has a grain size distribution (grain diameter) of generally 3 mm or less. Further, assuming that the (depleted) garnet powder and granular material reusable as an abrasive has a grain diameter of 0.2 mm or larger, powder material having a grain diameter of less than 0.2 mm, more specifically less than 0.1 mm is disposable powder material (hereinafter referred to as industrial waste powder material) made of lightweight foreign substances such as a (polished and cleaned) coating film and rust separated from a front surface and abrasive powder resulting from abrasion. Currently, the abrasive of this type is discarded after being subjected to a blast process.
Under such circumstances, it is strongly demanded that a mixture to be processed in which powder and granular material with relatively large specific gravity and hardness and initially formed into a grit or shot shape with a grain diameter of several mm or less and accompanying lightweight foreign substances are mixed together, particularly powder and granular material (containing accompanying lightweight foreign substances) subjected to a blast process by a dry air blast device is efficiently separated to collect reusable powder and granular material (hereinafter referred to as recyclable granular material) to promote material recycle. The mixture to be processed of this type has a relatively small specific gravity difference, and thus there is a problem in separating the mixture.
However, even with the application of the conventional technologies described above, those with small specific gravity are hardly separated from each other, which gives rise to the problem that the powder and granular material (abrasive) with a reusable grain diameter (for example, about 0.2 to 0.5 mm) is transferred to a waste side or industrial waste powder material (with a grain diameter of, for example, 0.2 mm or less) abundantly remains on a collection side. In addition, it is presumed that the conventional technologies are based on a batch process, and thus there is a problem in the transfer between a blast operation site and a separation process site.
As a matter of course, there has been raised a problem about separating powder and granular material (specifically a mixture to be processed) subjected to a blast process at a blast operation site and immediately reusing the same. In addition, in response to a demand for increasing yields, there has been raised a problem about improving separation accuracy.
The present inventors have promoted the research and development of a separation processing technology capable of separating the powder and granular material of this type (a mixture to be processed containing accompanying lightweight foreign substances) into recyclable granular material reusable as an abrasive and industrial waste powder material and efficiently collecting the recyclable granular material.
Particularly, the present inventors have repeatedly made an attempt to arrange and connect a powder and granular material separation processing device upstream of an external suction machine such as an existing dust collection device and an electric vacuum cleaner, collect recyclable granular material inside a system with the powder and granular material separation processing device, and discharge industrial waste powder material to the outside of the system to reduce the load of the external suction machine.
The present invention (the powder and granular material separation processing device and the powder and granular material separation processing method) according to the first basic application is one of the results, and separates, based on a new device configuration, a mixture to be processed received in a separation processing container by a method in which recyclable granular material is fallen and collected, while industrial waste powder material is discharged by suction through multiple stages using an airflow and a specific gravity difference with the control of a flow inside the container.
In addition, in promoting the continuous research and development, one of the present inventors [Tomoaki Tokuda] has configured a device system unit including the powder and granular material separation processing device according to the first basic application, machines (devices) upstream and downstream of the powder and granular material separation processing device, and attached machines, and has conceived a compact separation and collection processing system capable of receiving a mixture to be processed (introducing the same into a system) and systematically performing a series of processes from the separation to collection of recyclable granular material and industrial waste powder material containing lightweight foreign substances inside the system.
The present invention (the powder and granular material separation and collection processing system) according to the second basic application is one of the results, and has developed the portable and mobile powder and granular material separation and collection processing system in which the device system unit including the present invention device (the powder and granular material separation processing device) according to the first basic application is mounted on a single platform and made compact.

Particularly, by efficiently separating the powder and granular material made of an abrasive subjected to a blast process by a dry air blast device (containing the accompanying lightweight foreign substances) and collecting the recyclable granular material inside the system, it is possible to contribute to the promotion of material recycle. In addition, by discharging the industrial waste powder material (containing the lightweight foreign substances and the abrasive made into powder by depletion; the same applies hereafter), it is possible to reduce the load of an external suction machine connected on a downstream side.

First Embodiment
A description will be given, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of an embodiment of the powder and granular material separation processing device (hereinafter referred to as the embodiment device X) of the present invention according to the first basic application.
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective explanatory diagram of the embodiment device X.
As illustrated in the figure, the embodiment device X is connected to an external suction machine (omitted in the figure) such as a dust collection device and an electric vacuum cleaner, introduces by suction a mixture to be processed, in which powder and granular material made of a system abrasive subjected to a blast process by a dry air blast device (omitted in the figure) and accompanying light weight foreign substances are mixed together, into a separation processing container 1, separates the same with the application of an air flow and a specific gravity difference by a dry method, and discharges the lightweight foreign substances (containing industrial waste powder material) to the outside of a system toward the external suction machine while collecting the powder and granular material inside the system.
The separation processing container 1 has a hopper tank 4 that collects and stores the powder and granular material, a suction introduction tube 2 that is attached and sealed as the upper part structure of the hopper tank 4 and receives the mixture to be processed on the circumferential surface thereof, and a suction discharge tube 3 that is connected to the external suction machine on the upper surface thereof. Note that a detachable collection container 41 is disposed under the hopper tank 4.
FIG. 2 illustrates an explanatory diagram of the embodiment device X in a cross-sectional view, and FIG. 3 illustrates a detailed explanatory diagram of a P part in FIG. 2.
As illustrated in the figures, the inner structure of the separation processing container 1 has a separation cone 11 with a funnel-shaped bottom surface and a cylindrical opening 13 that hangs in a protruding shape downward from the tip part of the separation cone 11 and of which the opening diameter thereof is reduced stepwise to have multiple steps.
In addition, the separation cone 11 has radially-formed rectification ribs 12 made of a plurality of elastic bodies on the inner front surface thereof.
The suction discharge tube 3 has a multiple tube configuration (31;31) at the tip part thereof in which each axial core corresponds to the rotational axis (cone axis) of the separation cone 11 and each tube is given a small diameter corresponding to each opening diameter of the cylindrical opening 13 to be loosely inserted and face the tip part of the opening.
FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic explanatory diagram in a cross-sectional view for schematically illustrating the flow control of the mixture to be processed in the separation processing container.
As illustrated in each of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a mixture M to be processed introduced by suction into the separation processing container 1 is fallen and guided to the cylindrical opening 13, and lightweight foreign substances m2 (containing industrial waste powder material) are sucked by the suction discharge tube 3 (31;31) through multiple stages and discharged to the outside of the system while the rest powder and granular material m1 (recyclable granular material) is freely fallen and collected inside the system.
More specifically, the mixture M to be processed is received on the inner front surface of the separation cone 11 to be prevented from temporarily turning and falling while being separated by weight using the airflow generated inside the separation processing container and is then fallen and guided to the cylindrical opening 13 in a cascade state based on subsequent free fall with bouncing. Meanwhile, the lightweight foreign substances m2 (containing the industrial waste powder material) are sucked by the suction discharge tube 3 (31;31) through the multiple stages and discharged to the outside of the system, while the rest powder and granular material m1 (the recyclable granular material) is fallen and collected.
Here, the separation cone 11 receives the mixture M to be processed (m1;m2) with the radially-formed rectification ribs 12 made of a plurality of elastic bodies on the inner front surface thereof to prevent the mixture M to be processed flowing in a turning direction and increase the falling and guiding thereof.
Hereinafter, a description will be given of the function and effect of the embodiment device X based on an experimental fact.
A sample is a garnet abrasive (mixture to be processed) not processed after blasting, and FIG. 5(a) illustrates a result of a screening test (weighing) indicating the distribution of the grain sizes (grain diameters) and the plot of the data.
As is clear from the figure (screening test), powder and granular material with a grain size of less than 0.2 mm accounts for 61.8 weight percent relative to the total weight of the mixture to be processed.
FIG. 5(b) illustrates a result of the screening test (weighing) indicating the distribution of the grain sizes (grain diameters) of reusable powder and granular material (same as recyclable granular material expressed in the figure) collected inside the system after the separation process and the plot of the data.
As is clear from the figure (screening test) the powder and granular material with a grain size of less than 0.2 mm accounts for 46.6 weight percent relative to the total weight of the mixture to be processed.
FIG. 5(c) illustrates a result of a screening test (weighing) indicating the distribution of the grain sizes (grain diameters) of waste powder material (same as industrial waste powder material expressed in the figure) discharged to the outside of the system after the separation process and the plot of the data.
As is clear from the figure (screening test), the powder and granular material with a grain size of less than 0.2 mm accounts for 84.9 weight percent relative to the total weight of the mixture to be processed.
Note that the ratio of the recyclable granular material collected inside the system after the separation process to the waste powder material discharged to the outside of the system was 65 to 35.
(Examination and Effect)
First, in the mixture to be processed not processed after blasting, the ratio of the recyclable granular material (with a grain diameter of 0.2 mm or larger) to the industrial waste powder material (with a grain diameter of less than 0.2 mm) is about 4 to 6 (see FIG. 5(a)).
Then, the mixture to be processed (not processed after blasting) is separated and collected inside, the system by 65 weight percent relative to its total amount (data is omitted in the figure).
Since the powder and granular material with a grain diameter of less than 0.2 mm accounts for 46.6 weight percent relative to the collected mixture to be processed (see FIG. 5(b)), it can be said that the rest mixture to be processed by 53.4 weight percent (i.e., about 30 percent of the total mixture to be processed) is powder and granular material capable of being effectively reused without any difficulty.
Actually, virgin material (abrasive) by 35 weight percent equivalent to the weight loss is added to the 65 weight percent of the recyclable granular material collected inside the system for reuse.
There may be a concern that the grinding performance could be slightly degraded in a blasting operation in the reuse since the recyclable granular material is mixed with the powder and granular material with a grain diameter of less than 0.2 mm.
However, since the fine grains are also carried by compression air and collide with a grinding front surface, they have no great impact on the grinding performance except that dust slightly increases.
In any case, this material recycle greatly contributes to a cost reduction than ever before in that about 60 percent of the mixture to be processed subjected to the blast process using the virgin material is reused.
Of course, it may also be possible to consider that the reused abrasive after blasting is separated again as a mixture to be processed.
As a matter of course, the rate of the industrial waste powder material increases with the number of reprocessed times, and the rate of collecting the recyclable granular material inside the system reduces. However, since the rate of the virgin material (abrasive) to be added increases, there is no concern that the grinding performance could be greatly degraded. In consideration of cost effectiveness, the number of the reprocessed times is practically limited to several times.
Meanwhile, the mixture to be processed (not processed after blasting) is separated and discharged to the outside of the system by 35 weight percent relative to its total amount (data is omitted in the figures).
About 60 percent of the discharged mixture to be processed is powder material with a grain diameter of less than 0.1 mm, and a little more than 20 percent thereof is powder material with a grain diameter of 0.1 mm or larger and less than 0.2 mm. On the whole, a little more than 80 percent (i.e., about 30 percent of the total mixture to be processed) is industrial waste powder material (see FIG. 5(c)).
Accordingly, the little more than 80 percent of the mixture to be processed, which is discharged to the outside of the system, is industrial waste powder material, and a downstream dust collection device that receives the mixture to be processed can perform dust collection processing without applying an unreasonable load.
Note that the rest 20 percent of the mixture to be processed is recyclable granular material (with a grain diameter of 0.2 mm or larger) mixed in the waste side (industrial waste powder material) and is forced to be discarded, but it is now an allowable limit in separation accuracy according to the method of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a configuration outline explanatory diagram illustrating a connection example in a case in which a processing system is configured by the embodiment device X, a blast device (upstream), and external suction machines (downstream).
As is clear from FIG. 6, a dry air blast device 5 is connected upstream of the embodiment device X, and a dust collection device 6 is connected downstream of the embodiment device X, and an electric vacuum cleaner 7 is connected to the dust collection device 6.

In addition, the suction discharge tube 3 has a multiple tube configuration at the tip part thereof in which each axial core corresponds to the rotational axis (cone axis) of the separation cone 11 and each tube is given a small diameter corresponding to each opening diameter of the cylindrical opening 13 to be loosely inserted and face the tip part of the opening.
Further, the mixture to be processed, which is introduced by suction into the separation processing container 1, is fallen and guided to the cylindrical opening 13. Meanwhile, the industrial waste powder material is sucked by the suction discharge tube 3 through multiple stages and discharged to the downstream cyclone dust collection device, and the rest recyclable granular material is fallen and collected into the flexible container bag.
