Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention provides an apparatus for recycling asphalt waste by heating and melting it, and in particular, asphalt waste is introduced into a horizontally long rotating drum from its front end, heated and melted while stirring as the rotating drum rotates, and is transferred to the rear. The present invention relates to an apparatus for recycling asphalt waste material that passes through a rotor provided in a rotating drum and then discharges it from a discharge port.

[Conventional technology]

This type of conventional asphalt waste recycling equipment is
For example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-404, the rostre was simply a vertical plate, and a flame reflecting disc, which was a flat vertical plate, was fixed to the center of the rostol.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, the flame that collides with the flame reflection disk simply diffuses slightly in the circumferential direction along its vertical front surface, and instead of flowing back, it concentrates near the front surface of the rotor, causing the rotating drum to be injected. Since it is not possible to heat the area from the mouth to the rostol evenly, not only is it not possible to melt the asphalt waste with thermal efficiency, but the asphalt is heated particularly strongly near the front of the rostol, so it is extremely difficult to melt the asphalt waste material. There was a problem that caused it to deteriorate. Furthermore, since the rostle itself is simply a vertical plate, it has no stirring function, and has poor passage of molten asphalt, resulting in frequent clogging. It is an object of the present invention to solve these conventional problems and further facilitate the production of a rostol.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The asphalt waste material recycling apparatus of the present invention is an improved version of the rostle, in which a plurality of fan-shaped lattice plates each forming a large number of lattices are joined together. The whole is formed into an umbrella shape that curves backwards, and a conical flame reflecting disk is fixed inside a circular hole formed in the center.

[Effect]

Therefore, the flame that collides with the flame reflecting disk is reflected radially because the flame reflecting disk is conical. Since the entire roistle is also curved backwards, the flame reflected from the flame reflection disk radiates along the front of the roostle and flows back over a wide area to the front of the rotating drum. The rostol has an umbrella shape that curves backwards, so the asphalt waste material can be placed on top of it. Therefore, the rostle also has the function of stirring the asphalt waste material, and also improves the permeability of the molten asphalt. Furthermore, even though the entire rostol is formed into an umbrella shape, it is easy to manufacture because it is made from a plurality of lattice plates joined together.

【Example】

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the entire asphalt regeneration apparatus is installed on a machine base 1, and is used, for example, at a recycled asphalt construction site by being installed on the ground or mounted on the bed of a truck. A hopper 3 is installed on the front end of the machine 1 by a support 2, and an oblong rotary drum 4 is supported horizontally on the rear side, and a discharge section opening/closing door 5 is provided at the rear end. It is pivoted so that it can be opened and closed on one side. The hopper 3 has a charging chute 6 that is inclined downwardly toward the rotating drum 4 side and is integrally connected to the lower center thereof. The left and right side walls of hopper 3 are input chute 6.
The asphalt waste material introduced into the hopper 3 is smoothly guided to the input chute 6. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower end of the input chute 6 is a cylinder that extends through the fixed disk 7 and projects into the input port 8 of the rotary drum 4, that is, at the center of the lid plate 9 of the rotary drum 4. The asphalt waste material slides on the input chute 6 and enters the input port 8.
It enters into the rotating drum 4. Although the fixed disk 7 and the cylindrical mouth part 10 are fitted, the fixed disk 7 cannot rotate, whereas the cylindrical mouth part 10 rotates together with the rotating drum 4. An annular protrusion 8a is formed on the inner opening edge of the input port 8 for pushing the asphalt waste backward and for reinforcement. A heat shield plate 11 is attached to the lower side of the input chute 6 for safety because the area below the hopper 3 is a driving machine installation space. Furthermore, a cover plate 12 is provided on one side wall of the input chute 6 so that the inside of the rotating drum 4 can be seen from the outside.
There is a viewing window that can be opened and closed by. Further, the opening frame 13 of the hopper 3 has a groove formed above it so as to be convenient for mounting a larger hopper or for hanging a belt conveyor for carrying in asphalt waste material. As shown in FIG. 4, the fixed disc 7 has a burner protection cylinder 14 in the center below the input chute 6.
There is a feed cylinder 15 on one side and a thermostat 1 on the other side.
6 and a temperature sensor 17 are penetrated and fixed. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a burner device 18 equipped with a fan is attached to the outer end of the burner protection cylinder 14 by a hinge 19 so as to be openable and closable. Burner device 1
When 8 is closed, the flame spouting part 20 enters into the burner protection cylinder 14, and when it is opened, the flame jetting part 20 is pulled out of the burner protection cylinder 14, making it easy to clean. Burner device 18 is normally automatically controlled by thermostat 16, but can also be manually controlled. The flame from the burner device 18 is vigorously injected into the rotating drum 4 through the inlet 8. The temperature inside the rotating drum 4 can be determined by a thermometer 21 (FIG. 2) connected to the temperature sensor 17. On the other hand, an air supply fan 22 whose air supply amount can be adjusted is attached to the outer end of the supply cylinder 15, and the air supply fan 22 feeds air into the rotary drum 4. It is possible to improve the combustibility within the interior. The rear end of the drum body 23 of the rotating drum 4 is open over its entire surface, and has a vertical circular rear end working opening 2.
It has become 4. A cylindrical cleaning door 25 having a frustoconical shape is hinged to the outer right edge of the rear end work opening 24 by a hinge 26 so as to be able to open and close laterally. Flanges 27 and 28 are provided on the periphery of the rear end work opening 24 and the front end periphery of the cleaning work door 24, respectively.
The cleaning work door 25 is locked by a locking mechanism using these flanges 27 and 28. That is, by passing bolts 29 through holes in both flanges 27 and 28 and tightening them with nuts 30, cleaning work door 25 is firmly held at the rear end of drum body 23 when closed. The drum body 23 is rotatably supported by a pair of left and right double rollers 31 on the front side and a pair of left and right single rollers 32 on the rear side, which are pivotally supported on the machine stand 1. The drum main body 23 is firmly prevented from moving back and forth by a lateral movement prevention collar 33 fixed to the front end of its outer circumferential surface and fitted between the front and rear rollers of the double rollers 31. The rotating drum 4 is rotated in a fixed direction by an engine 34 mounted on the machine base 1. That is, a chain 38 is connected between the large sprocket wheel 35 fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 10 and the small sprocket wheel 37 of the reducer 36.
The decelerator 36 is connected to the output side of the engine 34 via a pulley 39 and a belt, and the rotation of the output shaft is decelerated and transmitted to the rotating drum 4. Rotation of the rotating drum 4 can be restricted by a brake 40 that grips the cylindrical mouth portion 10. The brake 40 can be operated with a lever 40a, and the rotation of the rotary drum 4 is regulated by the brake 40 when the present asphalt waste recycling apparatus is transported. On the inner circumferential surface of the drum body 23, a large number of crushing protrusions 41, ribs 42, and stirring feed blades 43 are arranged in a predetermined manner as shown below.
It protrudes within a range from the front end to a predetermined midway position. The protrusions 41 are generally arranged in a spiral shape toward the rear side of the drum body 23, forming a plurality of spiral rows. Each protrusion 41 is the fifth
As shown in the figure, it is made of heat-treated hard iron and has a conical shape, and has a rectangular anti-rotation protrusion 41a formed on its base end surface, and a male thread 41b integrally protruding from the center thereof. Each protrusion 41 has its male thread 41b penetrated from the inside into a hole 44 formed in the drum body 23, and the rotation stopper protrusion 41a is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the drum body 23. Fit the frame piece 45, and screw the male screw 4
It is attached to the drum body 23 by screwing a nut 46 onto 1b from the outside of the drum body 23 and tightening it. Therefore, each protrusion 41 is firmly attached to the drum body 23 without rotating, but the nut 46 is attached to the outside of the drum body 23.
It can be removed from the drum body 23 by loosening and removing it, and its replacement is easy. The ribs 42 are arranged parallel to the axis of the drum body 23 and with a predetermined phase difference from each other in the circumferential direction of the drum body 23. Each rib 42 has a rod shape with a triangular cross section, and is welded to the inner peripheral surface of the drum body 23. The stirring and feeding blades 43 are arranged in rows between adjacent ribs 42, for example two at a time, separated from each other in the axial direction, and the blades in the adjacent rows are arranged in a different manner in the axial direction. Each stirring feed blade 43 is fixed to a pair of brackets 47 welded to the inner circumferential surface of the drum body 23 using bolts and nuts so that it can be removed, and is fixed with respect to the axis of the drum body 23. is inclined in the direction of Therefore, the asphalt waste material charged into the drum body 23 is crushed by the protrusions 41 as the drum body 23 rotates, and at the same time is stirred by the stirring feed blades 43 and the ribs 42 and sent to the burner device 18. While being melted by the heat of the flame, it is pushed backward mainly by the stirring and feeding blades 43, and since the protrusions 41 are arranged in a spiral, it is also pushed backward by this, and furthermore, new It is also pushed backward by asphalt waste material thrown into the area. In order to allow only the molten asphalt waste material pushed forward to pass through, a rostol 48 is installed in the drum body 23 near the rear end working port 24. As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 6, the rostle 48 has a flame reflecting disc 49 in the center and four flat fan-shaped lattice plates 50 around it, which are firmly connected by a connecting plate 51. The whole structure has an umbrella shape that curves backwards. The flame reflecting disk 49 is curved into a conical shape, and has a plurality of spiral flame swirling blades 52 projecting radially from the front surface thereof. This flame reflecting disk 49 is connected to a joint plate 51 inside a circular hole formed in the center of four fan-shaped lattice plates 50.
It is joined to the grid plate 50 by. Each grid plate 5
0 has a large number of lattices 53 formed therein, and a large number of protrusions 54 and 55 integrally protruding from the outer peripheral edge and the inner peripheral edge, respectively. The protrusion 55 on the inner peripheral edge is
The asphalt that was pushed into it becomes a flame reflecting disc 4
In order to prevent the flame reflector plate 49 from coming into contact with the flame reflector plate 49, the flame reflector plate 49 protrudes diagonally forward and its tip is located slightly in front of the periphery of the flame reflector plate 49. A shaft protrusion 56 is provided protruding from the rear surface of one set of the four joining plates 51 facing each other, and a stop hole is bored in the other set. The rotor 48 is rotatably supported back and forth by bearing the double shaft protrusions 56 on a pair of bearing tubes 57 fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the drum body 23. A pair of stoppers 58 are protruded from the inner circumferential surface of the drum body 23 with a phase difference of 90 degrees from the bearing tube 57. The other can be rotated approximately 180 degrees until it abuts on the rear side. In other words, the rostle 48 can be reversed in its front and rear surfaces. Normally, the rotor 48 is held in the front-facing state shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 by bringing the other set of joint plates 51 into contact with the stoppers 58, passing bolts through these retaining holes, and tightening them with nuts. I'll keep it. Therefore, the flame injected straight from the burner device 18 collides with the flame reflecting disk 49 and is reflected. This reflected flame is absorbed by a spiral flame swirling blade 52 protruding from the front surface of the flame reflecting disk 49, which rotates together with the rotating drum 4, and the flame reflecting disk 49 is curved into a conical shape. Therefore, as well as being rotated by this, the rostre 48 which forms an umbrella shape
The flames are emitted diagonally forward along the line, swirl around the flames that are injected straight, and flow backwards, merging to form a pulsating flow, and there is no possibility that the flames will be concentrated near the front side of the rostre 48. Therefore, since the range from the front end of the drum body 23 to the rostol 48 can be heated evenly and repeatedly with good heat convection, the asphalt waste material can be melted quickly and thermally efficiently. Therefore, compared to the conventional flame reflecting disk which is simply a vertical disk without flame swirling blades, the reproducing ability is dramatically improved. Since the rostol 48 is curved backwards into a conical shape, the asphalt waste material is placed on top of it. Therefore, the asphalt waste material is also stirred by the rostol 48, and the passage of the molten asphalt is also improved, and the gratings 53 are smoothed so that it is radiated obliquely backward from the periphery of the flame reflection disk 49. pass. In other words, the molten asphalt is radiated from the periphery of the flame reflecting disk 49 in a centrifugal direction and is pushed toward the rear. In order to actively discharge the molten asphalt (recycled asphalt) swept away in this way, a plurality of screw blades 59 are provided protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the cleaning work door 25. The front end of the screw blade 59 protrudes from the front opening 60 of the cleaning work door 25, and when the cleaning work door 25 is closed, it enters the drum body 23 and faces a position close to the roistle 48. Therefore, the molten asphalt that has passed through the roaster 48 is immediately captured by the screw blades 59, and as the cleaning work door 25 rotates together with the drum body 23, it is swept backward by the screw blades 59, and the cleaning work door 25 is swept away by the screw blades 59. The liquid is collected toward the discharge port 61, which is the rear opening, and is discharged from there. In order to open and close the discharge port 61, a disc-shaped lid 62 is attached to the discharge section opening/closing door 5 described above as follows. That is, the discharge section opening/closing door 5 is connected to the left and right vertical frames 6.
A rearwardly curved heat shield plate 65 is stretched between 3 and 64, and a circular opening 66 is formed in the center of the heat shield plate 65. A shaft 70 is horizontally supported between a bracket 69 projecting from the center of the stile 68 by a gear block 71 and a bearing 72.
The base end (upper end) of a J-shaped arm 73 is fixed to this shaft 70. The lid body 62 is rotatably supported by a bearing 74 at the tip (lower end) of the arm 73, and when the handle 75 of the gear block 71 is turned in the forward direction to rotate the shaft 70 in the forward direction, the arm 73 is rotated in the forward direction. is rotated downward so that the lid body 62 faces into the opening 66 in an almost vertical state, and the handle 7
5 in the opposite direction, the arm 73 rotates upward and the lid 62 is moved away from the opening 66. The discharge section opening/closing door 5 is opened by fitting a bearing cylinder built into the vertical stile 63 to a vertical shaft (not shown) installed upright at the corner of the rear end of the machine base 1. It is pivotably mounted on the base 1. This door 5 has a male screw 76 protruding from the lower end of the vertical stile 64.
As shown in the figure, the stopper 77 fixed to the rear end of the machine base 1 is passed through the stopper hole and tightened with a nut to maintain the closed state. In this state, the heat shield plate 65 covers most of the outer surface of the discharge body 25 with a predetermined interval, and its opening 66 is connected to the edge protrusion 61a of the discharge port 61 of the cleaning work door 25 with a required gap. Form and fit. A latching fitting 78 is fixed to the lower side of this opening 66, and this latching fitting 78
By hooking the hook 80 of the discharge chute 79 to the opening 66, the discharge chute 79 is removably attached to the lower side of the opening 66. Therefore, the molten asphalt (regenerated asphalt) discharged from the discharge port 61 flows down while being guided by the discharge chute 79. The discharge port 61 is
When the recycled asphalt is not yet to be discharged, the lid 62 is closed. The lid body 62 tightly fits into the lip protrusion 61a of the discharge port 61 and rotates together with the rotating drum 4. Since this lid body 62 is attached to the tip of an arm 73 bent in a J-shape, when the discharge port 61 is closed in the vertical state, the moment at the tip of the arm 73 is in the axial direction of the discharge port 61 with respect to the lid body 62. It acts straight on and with maximum force. Therefore, the lid body 62
It is tightly closed and will not be accidentally opened by the molten asphalt that is washed away. Therefore, while opening the lid 62 and discharging the molten recycled asphalt from the discharge port 61, the hopper 3
If asphalt waste material is continuously fed into the tank, recycled asphalt can be continuously obtained, which can be used for road paving, etc. immediately. After extinguishing the burner device 18 and completing the regeneration work, open the discharge section opening/closing door 5 and the cleaning work door 25 before the inside of the rotary drum 4 cools down.
The rear end working port 24 of No. 3 is opened. At this point, the residual asphalt is still soft, so Rostre 4
The residual asphalt adhering to the lattice 53 of No. 8 and the rear surface can be easily scraped off from the outside through the rear end work opening 24, and the cleaning work door 2
Residual asphalt inside 5 can also be easily removed from the outside. Further, by removing the rostol 48 from the stopper 58, rotating it, and reversing its front and rear surfaces, residual asphalt adhering to the front surface can be scraped off. By opening both the left and right sides of the rostol 48, it is possible to scrape off the residual asphalt further in front of the rostre 48 from the outside using a scraping stick, etc., and remove stones that have not passed through the rostol 48.
Contaminants such as metals can also be removed through the rear end working port 24. Further, in this case, the rear end work port 24 faces the front and is completely opened, and since the rostol 48 is located near the rear end work port 24, the operator must clean and replace the rotor 48 inside the drum body 23. This can be easily done without having to enter the burner device 18, and it is also convenient for checking the state of the flame when testing the ignition of the burner device 18. Since the cleaning work door 25 opens horizontally, it does not get in the way of the work. Lid body 62 and discharge port 6
1 and 1, it is easy to remove asphalt adhering to the inside and outside of the lid 62 and the discharge port 61. Note that during the regeneration work, the drum body 23 is covered with a dome-shaped heat shielding cover 81. Heat shield cover 81
is removably mounted on the machine base 1 and can be separated from this asphalt waste recycling apparatus.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, the present invention has the following effects. Since the flame reflecting disc is shaped like a cone, it is possible to reflect the flame radially, and since the entire rostle is also curved backwards, the flame reflected from the flame reflecting disc will travel along the front of the rostle. Since the heat is radiated and flows backward over a wide area toward the front of the rotating drum, the inside of the rotating drum can be heated evenly and the thermal efficiency can be improved. Since the rostle has an umbrella shape that curves backwards, the asphalt waste material is placed on top of it, and the asphalt waste material can be stirred by the rostle, and the molten asphalt can pass through easily. Even though the rostle is formed into an umbrella shape, it is easy to manufacture because it is made from multiple lattice plates joined together.
