The sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment is mainly used to process used sanitary goods, that is, sanitary goods with dirt and the like attached thereto. The sanitary products to be treated mainly consist of pulp fibers. The type of pulp fibers is not particularly limited, but examples include pulp fibers, fluff-like pulp fibers, chemical pulp fibers, and the like.

Furthermore, the sanitary products to be treated may contain a water-absorbing material. The water absorbing material is, for example, a polymer absorbing material. Polymeric absorbent materials are also called superabsorbent polymers (SAP). The polymer absorbent material has a three-dimensional network structure in which water-soluble polymers are appropriately crosslinked. Polymer absorbent materials absorb hundreds to thousand times more water, but are essentially water-insoluble, and once absorbed water does not separate even if a certain amount of pressure is applied. The type of polymeric absorbent material is not particularly limited, but starch-based, acrylic acid-based, and amino acid-based particulate or fibrous polymers can be exemplified. Examples of sanitary products to be treated include disposable diapers, urine absorbing pads, sanitary napkins, and panty liners.

The sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment includes a processing tank 110, as shown in FIG. The processing tank 110 has a disk portion 111 and a cylindrical portion 112. The disk portion 111 is a member having a disk shape. The cylindrical portion 112 is a member having a hollow cylindrical shape. The disk portion 111 and the cylindrical portion 112 have the same diameter. The cylindrical portion 112 is connected to the outer peripheral edge of the disk portion 111. In this way, the processing tank 110 has a cylindrical container shape with one side open. Sanitary products to be treated (hereinafter also referred to as "products to be treated") can be placed in the space inside the treatment tank 110. Inside the processing tank 110, objects to be processed are accumulated.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the processing tank 110 includes a crushing blade 113. A plurality of crushing blades 113 are arranged and provided on the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112. The crushing blade 113 is for crushing sanitary products as objects to be treated. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of slits 114 are formed in the cylindrical portion 112. The slit 114 passes through the inside and outside of the cylindrical portion 112. The size of the slit 114 is adjusted so that the object to be processed before the crushing process by the crushing blade 113 cannot pass therethrough, and the object to be processed after the crushing process can pass therethrough. The slit 114 is an example of a hole through which the processed material crushed by the crushing blade can pass. This hole is not limited to a slit shape, but may also be, for example, a mesh shape.

The sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 includes a water supply section 140. The water supply section 140 is a water supply means that supplies water into the processing tank 110. One end of a water supply pipe 141 is connected to the water supply section 140 . The water supply unit 140 is a nozzle that spouts tap water supplied through the water supply pipe 141 into the processing tank 110 . The water supply pipe 141 is provided with a water supply valve (not shown). By opening and closing the water supply valve, water can be supplied into the processing tank 110 and the supply can be stopped. Note that the water supply unit 140 is particularly effective when processing sanitary products containing water-absorbing materials. The slit 114, which is the hole described above, allows not only the crushed material to pass through, but also the water in the processing tank 110.

The sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 includes an outer tank 120. The outer tank 120 is provided so as to surround the processing tank 110. In other words, the processing tank 110 is housed inside the outer tank 120. The outer tank 120 is a tank that receives the treated material and water that have passed through the holes described above. In the configuration example described here, the outer tank 120 has a cylindrical shape coaxial with the disk portion 111 and the cylindrical portion 112 of the processing tank 110.

The sanitary goods processing device 100 includes a storage section 150. The storage section 150 is communicated with the inside of the outer tank 120 via the connecting section 121. The processed material and water that have passed through the slit 114 of the processing tank 110 and moved into the outer tank 120 are sent into the storage section 150 through the connecting section 121. The storage unit 150 stores the crushed material and water in a mixed state.

The sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 includes a housing 101. In the configuration example set forth herein, the housing 101 has a box-like outer shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The processing tank 110, the outer tank 120, the water supply section 140, and the storage section 150 are housed inside the housing 101. The storage section 150 is arranged below the processing tank 110 and the outer tank 120. The storage section 150 is provided with a discharge section 151 . The treated material and water are stored in a mixed state for a certain period of time in the storage section 150, and then are discharged from the discharge section 151 to the outside of the housing 101, for example, to a sewer or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, an input port 102 is formed on the front surface of the housing 101. As shown in FIGS. The input port 102 is an opening for inputting the object to be processed into the processing tank 110 . Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a lid portion 103 that opens and closes the input port 102 is provided on the front side surface of the casing 101. While the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 is processing sanitary goods, the lid part 103 is basically in a closed state. Then, when putting the object to be processed into the processing tank 110, the lid part 103 is opened.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 includes a motor 130. The motor 130 is a rotation drive means for rotating the processing tank 110. The processing tank 110 is rotatably provided with respect to the housing 101 around a rotation shaft 131 . The rotation axis 131 is an axis that is perpendicular to the disc part 111 and passes through the center of the disc part 111. A motor 130 serving as a rotational drive unit rotates the processing tank 110 around a rotating shaft 131 .

In the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment, the length of the cylindrical part 112 in the direction parallel to the rotation axis 131 is smaller than the diameter of the disc part 111. Further, the rotation axis 131 is horizontal. Further, the motor 130 is arranged on the back side of the processing tank 110. That is, the motor 130 is disposed on the disk portion 111 side when viewed from the processing tank 110 and outside the processing tank 110. Further, in the configuration example shown here, the motor 130 is provided outside the housing 101. The drive shaft of the motor 130 is aligned with the rotation shaft 131.

In the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 configured as described above, the processing tank 110 is rotated by the motor 130 while the sanitary goods to be processed, that is, the objects to be processed are placed inside the processing tank 110. Then, the object to be processed in the processing tank 110 is torn, cut and crushed by the crushing blade 113 of the cylindrical portion 112.

Specifically, for example, in the process of crushing a paper diaper containing a water-absorbing material, the top sheet of the paper diaper is first torn. Then, the water-absorbing material (water-absorbing polymer) contained in the pulp (fibers) inside the disposable diaper leaks out. Note that in used paper diapers, the water-absorbing polymer absorbs water contained in excrement and the like and becomes gel-like. Thereafter, as the crushing progresses further, the relatively hard sheet material is broken into pieces into crushed pieces.

Some of the crushed pieces of the object to be processed, which are not yet fine enough to pass through the slit 114, remain around the cylindrical part 112 in the processing tank 110 and are pressed against the cylindrical part 112 by centrifugal force. Rotate together. Here, as described above, the rotation axis 131 is horizontal. Therefore, when the object to be processed becomes higher than the rotating shaft 131, the object to be processed leaves the cylindrical portion 112 and falls within the processing tank 110 due to the gravity acting on the object. Then, the object to be processed collides with the crushing blade 113 on the lower side of the processing tank 110 again and is cut and crushed.

In this way, the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the processing tank 110 and the gravity acting on the object to be processed cause the object to be processed to repeatedly collide with the crushing blade 113, thereby advancing the crushing of the object to be processed. During the crushing process, the water supply section 140 supplies water intermittently at preset time intervals or continuously in a preset amount of water. The crushed pieces that have become fine enough to pass through the slit 114 are flushed away with water supplied from the water supply unit 140, and are passed through the slit 114 as processed materials that have undergone crushing processing, and are removed from the outer shell of the processing tank 110. It is sent to tank 120.

According to the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 configured as described above, the length of the cylindrical part 112 in the direction parallel to the rotating shaft 131 is made smaller than the diameter of the disc part 111, and the rotating shaft 131 is arranged horizontally. By doing so, while keeping the depth dimension small, the object to be processed is repeatedly collided with the crushing blade 113 using the gravity acting on the object to be processed and the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the processing tank 110 to reduce the object to a certain size or less. It can be crushed up to

In addition, by forming a slit 114 in the cylindrical portion 112 of the processing tank 110 and providing an outer tank 120 on the outside of the processing tank 110, the processed material that has been crushed to a certain size or less can be separated and removed from the outer shell from the processing tank 110. It can be sent to the storage section 150 via the tank 120. Then, in a state where the treated material and water are mixed in the storage section 150, the treated material can sufficiently absorb water and be softened and fluidized to the extent that it can be flushed into the sewer. In this way, it is possible to realize the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100, which is capable of performing a series of processes for discharging used sanitary goods and other objects to be processed into the sewer, in a compact size, especially with a small depth dimension. .

Furthermore, in the configuration example described above, the motor 130 is arranged at the back side of the processing tank 110, and the drive shaft of the motor 130 coincides with the rotation shaft 131. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the motor 130 is disposed so as to protrude from the casing 101 on the front side of the sanitary product processing apparatus 100 toward the back side. Therefore, the width in the left-right direction of the overall outer shape of the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 is the width of the casing 101 that accommodates the processing tank etc. on the front side, and the width of the motor 130 on the back side. That is, as for the overall external shape of the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100, the width on the back side of the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 can be made smaller than the width on the front side of the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the sanitary product processing device 100 can be easily installed at an even corner between walls 1 of a room, and space can be saved even in a relatively narrow space such as a toilet. It is possible to efficiently utilize and easily install the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100.

In addition, in the above description, the case where the rotating shaft 131 of the processing tank 110 is arranged horizontally is explained. However, even if the rotating shaft 131 is arranged not only horizontally but also at an angle with respect to the vertical, the outer shape of the sanitary goods processing device 100, especially the depth dimension, can be kept small, as in the past. Using the gravity acting on the object and the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the processing tank 110, the object can be crushed by repeatedly colliding with the crushing blade 113.

However, it is desirable that the inclination angle θ of the rotating shaft 131 at this time satisfies the following relationship with respect to the dimensions of the processing tank 110. The conditions that the inclination angle θ of the rotating shaft 131 preferably satisfies will be explained with reference to FIG. 5. This figure is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the processing tank 110 in a cross section passing through the rotating shaft 131. As shown in the figure, the inclination angle of the rotating shaft 131 with respect to the horizontal plane is θ. Further, the length of the cylindrical portion 112 in the direction parallel to the rotation axis 131 is defined as a. Further, the diameter of the disc portion 111 is assumed to be b.

In order to improve the efficiency of the crushing process in the processing tank 110, it is preferable that the objects to be processed collide with the crushing blades 113 as repeatedly as possible inside the rotating process tank 110. When a vertical line drawn down from the upper end of the processing tank 110 intersects with the disk part 111 in a side view, the object to be processed falling inside the rotating processing tank 110 will hit the disk part 111 once and then fall into the cylindrical part 112. It will collide with the crushing blade 113. Therefore, the force with which the object to be processed collides with the crushing blade 113 is reduced. Therefore, it is preferable to adjust the inclination angle θ of the rotating shaft 131 so that a vertical line drawn from the upper end of the processing tank 110 intersects with the cylindrical portion 112 when viewed from the side. That is, it is desirable that the inclination angle θ of the rotating shaft 131 satisfies the condition of the following equation (1).

tanθ<a/b... (1)

If the condition of Equation (1) is satisfied, a part of the processed material falling inside the rotating processing tank 110 will directly collide with the crushing blade 113 without hitting the disk part 111. . Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the crushing process in the processing tank 110.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 2, water may be ejected from the water supply unit 140 in a shower-like or spray-like manner. At this time, it is particularly desirable that at least the water hits the inner wall surface of the cylindrical part 112 facing the water supply part 140. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the objects to be processed during the crushing process from adhering to the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112.

Embodiment 2.
Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the overall configuration of the sanitary goods processing apparatus, seen through the main parts from the front. FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the sanitary goods processing apparatus.

Embodiment 2 to be described here is a modification of the configuration of Embodiment 1 described above, in which the motor of the rotational drive means is disposed below the processing tank. The sanitary goods processing apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. The configuration whose description is omitted is basically the same as that of the first embodiment. In the following description, structures similar to or corresponding to those of the first embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals used in the description of the first embodiment.

In the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the motor 130 of the rotational driving means described above is arranged below the processing tank 110. In this embodiment, motor 130 is also housed within housing 101. In the configuration example described here, the rotation of the motor 130 is transmitted to the processing tank 110 using a winding transmission mechanism. That is, a drive pulley 133 is fixed to a drive shaft 132 of the motor 130. A driven pulley 134 is fixed to the rotating shaft 131 of the processing tank 110. An endless belt 135 is wound around the driving pulley 133 and the driven pulley 134. Note that the drive shaft 132 of the motor 130 and the rotation shaft 131 of the processing tank 110 are parallel.

Also in the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 configured as above, similarly to the first embodiment, the length of the cylindrical portion 112 in the direction parallel to the rotation axis 131 is made smaller than the diameter of the disc portion 111, and By arranging the rotating shaft 131 horizontally, the depth dimension can be particularly kept small, and the object to be processed can be repeatedly pushed into the crushing blade 113 by using the gravity acting on the object to be processed and the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the processing tank 110. It can be crushed to a certain size or less by collision.

In addition, by forming a slit 114 in the cylindrical portion 112 of the processing tank 110 and providing an outer tank 120 on the outside of the processing tank 110, the processed material that has been crushed to a certain size or less can be separated and removed from the outer shell from the processing tank 110. It can be sent to the storage section 150 via the tank 120. Then, in a state where the treated material and water are mixed in the storage section 150, the treated material can sufficiently absorb water and be softened and fluidized to the extent that it can be flushed into the sewer. In this way, it is possible to realize the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100, which is capable of performing a series of processes for discharging used sanitary goods and other objects to be processed into the sewer, in a compact size, especially with a small depth dimension. .

Further, a motor 130 serving as a rotational drive means is disposed below the processing tank 110, and a drive shaft 132 of the motor 130 and a rotating shaft 131 of the processing tank 110 are arranged in parallel. The rotation of the drive shaft 132 of the motor 130 is transmitted to the rotation shaft 131 via the drive pulley 133, driven pulley 134, and belt 135 to rotate the processing tank 110. Therefore, the overall depth of the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 can be further reduced. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, it is easy to install the sanitary product processing device 100 with the back facing the wall 1 of the room, and it is easy to use the space efficiently even in a relatively narrow space such as a toilet. It is possible to install the sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 in

Embodiment 3.
Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG. 8 is a front view schematically showing the main parts of the sanitary goods processing apparatus. FIG. 9 is a sectional view of a main part showing an example of a sanitary goods processing apparatus. FIG. 10 is a sectional view of a main part showing a modification of the sanitary goods processing apparatus.

Embodiment 3 to be described here has the configuration of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 described above, except that a hammer is provided inside the processing tank. Hereinafter, the sanitary goods processing apparatus according to the third embodiment will be described, taking as an example a case based on the configuration of the first embodiment, and focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. The configurations whose description is omitted are basically the same as those in the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

The sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment includes a hammer 160. As shown in FIG. 8, the hammer 160 is provided inside the processing tank 110. The hammer 160 includes an arm portion 161 and a head portion 162. The arm portion 161 is a rod-shaped member. One end side of the arm portion 161 is rotatably attached to the rotating shaft 131. A head portion 162 is provided at the other end of the arm portion 161. The hammer 160 is rotatable around the rotating shaft 131 in a pendulum shape. Normally, due to the weight of the head portion 162, the hammer 160 is disposed vertically below the rotating shaft 131 along the radial direction of the disk portion 111.

In the configuration example shown in FIG. 9, a gap is formed between the head portion 162 and the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112 to the extent that the head portion 162 and the crushing blade 113 do not come into contact with each other. The objects to be processed in the rotating processing tank 110 hit the head portion 162 of the hammer 160 and are pushed toward the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112 and pressed against the crushing blade 113 . Therefore, the object to be processed in the processing tank 110 can be efficiently cut and crushed by the crushing blade 113, and the processing efficiency of the object to be processed can be improved. Further, by pushing the processed material that has been crushed toward the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112 with the hammer 160, the processed material can be efficiently discharged from the slit 114, and the efficiency of discharge from the processing tank 110 can be improved. It is possible.

At this time, as described above, the hammer 160 is rotatable around the rotating shaft 131. Therefore, even if a workpiece that is being crushed is likely to be caught between the hammer 160 and the cylindrical part 112, the hammer 160 moves as shown by the broken line in FIG. It is possible to prevent the object to be processed from being caught between the two.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance between the head portion 162 of the arm portion 161 and the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112 is variable. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 8, an oblong hole 163 is formed at the above-mentioned one end side of the arm portion 161. As shown in FIG. An arm portion 161 of the hammer 160 is attached to the rotating shaft 131 through this elongated hole 163. The elongated hole 163 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the hammer 160.

As the rotating shaft 131 moves within the elongated hole 163, the distance between the head portion 162 of the arm portion 161 and the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112 changes. Therefore, even if a workpiece that is being crushed is likely to be caught between the hammer 160 and the cylindrical part 112, the gap between the head part 162 and the cylindrical part 112 is widened, and the gap between the hammer 160 and the cylindrical part 112 is increased. It is possible to further suppress the object to be processed from being caught between the objects. Therefore, an increase in rotational load on the processing tank 110 due to the object to be processed caught between the hammer 160 and the cylindrical portion 112 can be suppressed, and locking of the motor 130 can be prevented. Further, it can be expected that the impact noise generated when the object to be processed is caught between the hammer 160 and the cylindrical portion 112 will be alleviated.

Next, a modification of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 10. In the modification shown in the figure, a recess 164 is formed in the head portion 162. The recess 164 is arranged on a surface of the head section 162 that faces the inner wall surface of the cylindrical section 112. The recessed portions 164 are provided corresponding to each of the crushing blades 113 of the cylindrical portion 112. A convex portion 165 that protrudes toward the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 112 is formed between the concave portions 164 of the head portion 162 .

The position and shape of the recess 164 are adjusted so that the crushing blade 113 enters inside the recess 164 when the head portion 162 is located at the crushing blade 113. By providing such a recess 164, contact between the head portion 162 and the crushing blade 113 can be avoided. Since the distance between the head section 162 and the cylindrical section 112 can be narrower, the object to be processed in the rotating processing tank 110 can be more strongly pressed against the crushing blade 113 by the head section 162 of the hammer 160. . Therefore, it is possible to further improve the processing efficiency of the object to be processed.

The sanitary goods processing apparatus 100 configured as described above can also provide the same effects as those of the first embodiment or the second embodiment. Furthermore, by providing the hammer 160 in the processing tank 110, it is possible to improve the efficiency of crushing the objects to be processed and the efficiency of discharging the processed objects from the processing tank 110 after the crushing process has been completed. .
