Description

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zum Kompaktieren von in geschlossenen Blechbehältern befindlichen festen bioschädlichen, insbesondere radioaktiven Abfällen, bestehend aus einem geschlossenem Containment mit Rollenbahnen und sonstigen Transportelementen, einer Behältereinschleuse, einer Hochdruckpresse und einer Behälterausschleuse mit Auffangbehälter.The present invention relates to a device for compacting solid bio-harmful, in particular radioactive waste contained in closed sheet metal containers, consisting of a closed containment with roller conveyors and other transport elements, a container infeed, a high pressure press and a container outfeed with a collecting container.

Bei der Beseitigung von festen bioschädlichen Abfällen, insbesondere bei festen radioaktiven Abfällen, besteht die Aufgabe, die Abfallvolumina soweit einzuengen, daß ein möglichst geringes Lagervolumen beansprucht wird, ohne daß giftige oder radioaktive Bestandteile bei der Behandlung oder der Lagerung freigesetzt werden können. Derartig zu behandelnde feste Abfälle fallen in der chemischen Industrie, in der petrochemischen Industrie, auf dem medizinischen und Pharma-Sektor, in Forschungsstätten, Krankenhäusern und in der Nukleartechnik an.When removing solid bio-harmful waste, in particular solid radioactive waste, the task is to narrow the waste volume to such an extent that the smallest possible storage volume is used without toxic or radioactive components being released during treatment or storage. Solid waste to be treated in this way occurs in the chemical industry, in the petrochemical industry, in the medical and pharmaceutical sector, in research centers, in hospitals and in nuclear technology.

Zum Einengen der Abfallvolumina werden z.B. Paketierpressen verwendet, die das zu kompaktierende feste Gut zum Teil direkt in Abfallbehälter, zum Beispiel in 200-1-Fässer, verdichten. Solche Kompaktiereinrichtungen sind in der DE-OS 2 659 691, in der DE-PS 2 243 136 und in der Chemie-Ing.-Techn. 42 Jahrgang, 1970, Nr.9/10, Seiten 649 und 650, beschrieben. Bekannt sind auch Hochdruckpressen, mit denen Abfallbehälter mit ihrem Abfallinhalt gemeinsam kompaktiert werden.To narrow the waste volumes, e.g. Packing presses are used, some of which compress the solid material to be compacted directly in waste containers, for example in 200-1 drums. Such compacting devices are in DE-OS 2 659 691, in DE-PS 2 243 136 and in chemical engineering. 42 Volume, 1970, No. 9/10, pages 649 and 650. High-pressure presses are also known, with which waste containers are compacted together with their waste contents.

Alle diese Kompaktiereinrichtungen haben teils den Nachteil der weitgehend offenen Anlieferung und Behandlung des Abfalls, teils den Nachteil eines sehr aufwendigen Aufbaues. Daher sind solche Anlagen z.B. für einen variablen mobilen Einsatz bei AbfallsammeIstellen und bei der regelmäßigen Entsorgung in der chemischen und kerntechnischen Industrie wenig geeignet.All of these compacting devices have the disadvantage of largely open delivery and treatment of the waste, and the disadvantage of a very complex structure. Such systems are therefore e.g. not very suitable for variable mobile use in waste collection and regular disposal in the chemical and nuclear industry.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Kompaktieren von in geschlossenen Blechbehältern befindlichen festen bioschädlichen, insbesondere radioaktiven Abfällen, bestehend aus einem geschlossenen Containment mit Rollenbahnen und sonstigen Transportelementen, einer Behältereinschleuse, einer Hochdruckpresse und einer Behälterausscialeuse mit Auffangbehälter, zu schaffen, die unbedenkIich überall umweltfreundlich und gegebenenfalls mobil einsatzfähig, sowie einfach und sicher handhabbar ist, und an jeweils vorhandene Verfestigungsmittel liegende Versorgungseinrichtungen anschließbar ist.The present invention was therefore based on the object of providing a device for compacting solid bio-harmful, in particular radioactive, waste present in closed sheet metal containers, consisting of a closed containment with roller conveyors and other transport elements, a container lock, a high-pressure press and a container external lock with collecting container, which is environmentally friendly and can be used anywhere, as well as being easy and safe to use, and can be connected to any existing solidification equipment.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wurde dadurch gelöst, daß die Behältereinschleuse um die senkrechte Achse drehbar ist, mit einem hydraulischen Zylinder zum Transport der Blechbehälter in die Hochdruckpresse und mit einem in Normallage innerhalb der Rollenbahn liegenden anhebbaren hydraulischen Zylinder zum Ausstoßen der verformten Blechbehälter aus der Hochdruckpresse versehen ist, und ein verfahrbares Greifelement für die verformten Blechbehälter oberhalb der Behälterausschleuse angeordnet ist.The object of the invention was achieved in that the container sluice is rotatable about the vertical axis, is provided with a hydraulic cylinder for transporting the sheet metal containers into the high-pressure press and with a hydraulic cylinder which can be raised in the normal position within the roller conveyor for ejecting the deformed sheet metal containers from the high-pressure press , and a movable gripping element for the deformed sheet metal container is arranged above the container outlet.

Zur einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist das Containment mit einem Anschluß zur Zufuhr von Verfestigungsmitteln versehen. Über diesem Anschluß ist es möglich, hydraulisch sich verfestigende Bindemittel in den die verformten Blechbehälter enthaltenden Auffang- bzw. Endlagerbehälter zu fördern.For an advantageous embodiment, the containment is provided with a connection for the supply of strengthening agents. With this connection it is possible to to promote hydraulically solidifying binders in the collecting or final storage container containing the deformed sheet metal containers.

Nachfolgend sind die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung und weitere besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen dazu beispielhaft anhand der schematischen Abbildungen I, II und III näher beschrieben.The device according to the invention and further particularly advantageous embodiments are described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the schematic illustrations I, II and III.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung besteht aus einem Grundrahmen (1), auf denen eine Behältereinschleuse (2), eine Hochdruckpresse (3) und eine Behälterausschleuse (4) angeordnet sind. Am Grundrahmen (1) sind außerdem Hebeösen (24) befestigt. Weiterhin können am Grundrahmen (1) auch Rollen angebracht sein.The device according to the invention consists of a base frame (1) on which a container inlet (2), a high-pressure press (3) and a container outlet (4) are arranged. Lifting eyes (24) are also attached to the base frame (1). Furthermore, rollers can also be attached to the base frame (1).

Die Behältereinschleuse (2), ein Teil der Hochdruckpresse (3), eine Preßlingsstoßvorrichtung, bestehend aus einem in Normallage innerhalb einer Rollenbahn (10) liegenden anhebbaren Zylinder (5), und eine Behältereinsetzvorrichtung, bestehend aus einem hydraulischen Zylinder (6), befinden sich in einem gemeinsamen entlüfteten Containment (7). Eine geringe Unterdruckhaltung des Containments (7) wird vorteilhafterweise mit Hilfe eines Saugventilators (8) mit vorgeschaltetem Absolutfilter (9) erreicht. Dadurch wird eine Abgabe eventuell verunreinigter Luft an die Umwelt verhindert. Der am Grundrahmen (1) befestigte Unterbau der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist vorteilhafterweise als Auffangwanne mit Sumpfabzug (12) ausgebildet, insbesondere zum Auffangen und Sammeln von Dekontaminisationsflüssigkeiten, die beim Reinigen anfallen. Das zu verpressende Gebinde ist ein verschlossenes 200 1-Blechfass (13), kann jedoch auch anders gestaltet sein. Das Blechfass (13) enthält feste Abfälle, wie radioaktiv kontaminierte Komponenten, Handschuhe, chemische Giftstoffe, stückig oder auch in loser Schüttung mit entsprechendem Leervolumenanteil. Das Blechfass (13) wird mit einem Gabelstapler oder dergleichen auf eine Rollenbahn (10) aufgesetzt und bis vor dem hydraulischen Zylinder (6) in der Behältereinschleuse ,(2) gerollt. Dabei befindet sich die drehbare Behältereinschleuse (2) in geöffneter und von außen her beschickbarer Position, wobei das Containment (7) durch die dem SchleuseneinlaB gegenüberliegende Schleusenseite geschlossen bleibt. Außerhalb des Containments (7) ist ein Schleusendrehantrieb (25) angeordnet.The container sluice (2), a part of the high-pressure press (3), a compacting device consisting of a cylinder (5) which can be raised in the normal position within a roller conveyor (10), and a container insertion device consisting of a hydraulic cylinder (6) are located in a common vented containment (7). A low vacuum maintenance of the containment (7) is advantageously achieved with the aid of a suction fan (8) with an upstream absolute filter (9). This prevents any polluted air from being released into the environment. The substructure of the device according to the invention fastened to the base frame (1) is advantageously designed as a collecting trough with sump extractor (12), in particular for collecting and collecting decontamination liquids which arise during cleaning. The container to be pressed is a closed 200 1 sheet metal drum (13), but can also be designed differently. The metal barrel (13) contains fixed Waste, such as radioactive contaminated components, gloves, chemical toxins, in pieces or in bulk with a corresponding empty volume. The metal drum (13) is placed on a roller conveyor (10) with a forklift or the like and rolled up to the hydraulic cylinder (6) in the container inlet (2). The rotatable container lock (2) is in the open position and can be loaded from the outside, the containment (7) remaining closed by the lock side opposite the lock inlet. A lock rotary drive (25) is arranged outside the containment (7).

Anschließend wird die Behältereinschleuse (2) mit dem Blechfass (13) um 180° gedreht, so daß die Schleusen- öffnung der Hochdruckpresse (3) gegenübersteht. Der hydraulische Zylinder (6) schiebt nunmehr das Blechfass (13) unter den Preßkolben der Hochdruckpresse (3). Die Hochdruckpresse (3) ist eine an sich bekannte selbsttragende Konstruktion, die für den erfindungsgemäßen Anwendungsfall entsprechend ausgelegt ist. Das Hydraulikaggregat der Presse (3) ist neben der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung außerhalb des Containments (7) aufgestellt und über Kupplungen mit der Presse verbunden. Die Presse (3) ist mit dem Grundrahmen (1) verschraubt, ebenso der Pressenmantel mittels Zugankern (14).The container sluice (2) with the sheet metal drum (13) is then rotated through 180 ° so that the sluice opening faces the high-pressure press (3). The hydraulic cylinder (6) now pushes the sheet metal barrel (13) under the plunger of the high-pressure press (3). The high-pressure press (3) is a self-supporting construction which is known per se and is designed accordingly for the application according to the invention. The hydraulic unit of the press (3) is placed next to the device according to the invention outside the containment (7) and connected to the press via couplings. The press (3) is screwed to the base frame (1), as is the press casing by means of tie rods (14).

Nach dem Preßvorgang wird der verformte Behälter (15), also das nunmehr gemeinsam mit seinem Abfallinhalt kompaktierte vormalige Blechfass (13), aus der Preßposition in eine Aufnahmeposition innerhalb der Ausschleuse (4) unterhalb eines verfahrbaren Greifelements (17) geschoben. Das erfolgt mittels des hydraulischen Zylinders (5), der in seiner Normallage in der geteilten Rollenbahn (10) innerhalb der Behältereinschleuse (2) untergebracht ist und zunächst mit Hilfe eines Hubzylinders (11) in die erforderliche Arbeitsstellung gehoben wird.After the pressing process, the deformed container (15), that is to say the former sheet metal barrel (13) now compacted together with its waste content, is pushed from the pressing position into a receiving position within the outlet (4) below a movable gripping element (17). This is done by means of the hydraulic cylinder (5), which is in its normal position in the split rollers web (10) is housed within the container sluice (2) and is first lifted into the required working position with the aid of a lifting cylinder (11).

Das Greifelement (17) greift mit seinem Dreinockengreifer, der über einem Hydraulikzylinder (18) betätigt wird, :den verformten Behälter (15), hebt ihn mittels Hubzylinder (16) an und positioniert ihn mittels einer Laufkatze (19) über einen Auffangbehälter (27), beispielsweise ein 400 1-Blechfass. Das Greifelement (17) kann fallweise auch aus einem Elektromagneten bestehen.The gripping element (17) grips with its three-cam gripper, which is operated via a hydraulic cylinder (18): the deformed container (15), lifts it by means of a lifting cylinder (16) and positions it by means of a trolley (19) over a collecting container (27 ), for example a 400 1 metal drum. The gripping element (17) can also consist of an electromagnet in some cases.

Der Auffangbehälter (27) ist über eine absenkbare Schutzhaube (20), die mittels Hydraulikzylinder (21) bewegt werden kann, dicht mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung verbunden. Das allseitige geschlossene Containment (7) ist also auf diese Weise besonders vorteilhaft sichergestellt. Nach dem Beiseiteschwenken eines Schwenktellers (22), der an der Schutzhaube (20) befestigt ist, kann nun der verformte Behälter (15) in den Auffangbehälter (27) eingebracht werden. Nach dem Befüllen des Auffangbehälters (27) mit der jeweils gewünschten Anzahl verformter Behälter (15) kann das im Auffangbehälter (27) verbliebene Leervolumen mit Verfestigungsmitteln ausgefüllt werden. Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung mit einem Anschluß (26) für die Zufuhr von Bitumen oder sich hydraulisch verfestigender Bindemittel zu versehen. Damit ist es möglich, an Ort und Stelle das Leervolumen zwischen den verformten Behältern (15) und dem Auffangbehälter (27) beispielsweise mit Beton auszufüllen. Besonders günstig ist es, unterhalb der Position des Auffangbehälters (27) einen Rüttler (23) anzuordnen, der das einwandfreie Ausfüllen des Leervolumens wirksam unterstützt.The collecting container (27) is tightly connected to the device according to the invention by means of a lowerable protective hood (20) which can be moved by means of hydraulic cylinders (21). The all-round closed containment (7) is thus ensured in a particularly advantageous manner. After swiveling aside a swivel plate (22) which is fastened to the protective hood (20), the deformed container (15) can now be introduced into the collecting container (27). After the collecting container (27) has been filled with the desired number of deformed containers (15), the empty volume remaining in the collecting container (27) can be filled with solidifying agents. It is particularly advantageous to provide the device according to the invention with a connection (26) for the supply of bitumen or hydraulically solidifying binders. This makes it possible to fill the empty volume between the deformed containers (15) and the collecting container (27), for example with concrete. It is particularly favorable to arrange a vibrator (23) below the position of the collecting container (27), which effectively supports the correct filling of the empty volume.

Nach dem Befüllen des als Lagerfaß (27) dienenden Auffangbehälters mit verformten Behältern (15) und gegebenenfalls dem Ausfüllen des Leervolumens mit Beton oder dergleichen wird der Schwenkteller (22) in seine Ausgangsposition geschwenkt. Das nunmehr freigegebene Lagerfaß (27) wird anschließend verschlossen durch einen Gabelstapler von der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung abgehoben und gegebenenfalls zu einer Abbindestation und später in ein Lager gebracht.After the collecting container serving as the storage barrel (27) has been filled with deformed containers (15) and, if necessary, the empty volume has been filled with concrete or the like, the swivel plate (22) is pivoted into its starting position. The now released storage barrel (27) is then lifted closed by a forklift truck from the device according to the invention and, if necessary, brought to a binding station and later into a warehouse.

Unterhalb des Greifelements (17) kann ebenfalls eine Rollenbahn (28) angeordnet sein. Als vorteilhaft hat es sich jedoch erwiesen, an dieser Stelle einen Drehteller (29) anzubringen, der mit mehreren verformten Blechbehältern (15) beschickt werden kann. Dadurch ist es möglich, über eine Höhenmeßvorrichtung (30) für die verformten Behälter (15), einer Wiegevorrichtung (32) und einen Drehtellerantrieb (31) die Behälter (15) für die Füllung der Auffangbehälter (27) so auszuwählen, daß jeweils ein optimales Volumen in Anspruch genommen wird. Ein Rechner wählt jeweils diejenigen Behälter (15) aus, die für eine optimale Füllung benötigt werden.A roller conveyor (28) can also be arranged below the gripping element (17). However, it has proven to be advantageous to mount a turntable (29) at this point, which can be loaded with several deformed sheet metal containers (15). This makes it possible to use a height measuring device (30) for the deformed containers (15), a weighing device (32) and a turntable drive (31) to select the containers (15) for the filling of the collecting containers (27) so that an optimal one Volume is used. A computer selects those containers (15) that are required for optimal filling.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist durch seinen kompakten Aufbau auch bequem transportierbar, durch abgestimmte Antriebe für den Arbeitsablauf und durch mögliche gegenseitige Verriegelung wichtiger Funktionen wie z.B. Schleusenbetätigung, Presse und Betonzufuhr, von außerhalb einfach und sicher bedienbar.The device according to the invention is also easy to transport due to its compact construction, through coordinated drives for the workflow and through possible interlocking of important functions such as e.g. Lock actuation, press and concrete feed, easy and safe to operate from outside.
