Definitions
- the invention relates to a sorting system according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the device according to the US-PS provides that several people work side by side on a conveyor belt and sort out the individual recyclable fractions.
- the valuable materials are arranged very irregularly and in a greater or lesser degree on the conveyor belt.
- the operators will also preferably search for specific recyclables in the incoming waste.
- this can lead to a very different workload on the operators.
- certain operators cannot cope with an excess of incoming valuable substances, so that such valuable substances pass the operators responsible for them without being sorted.
- Another sorting system has become known from DE 44 16 457 C2, in which the operators on a common collecting belt intermittently sort out only one valuable material fraction onto a collecting belt intended for this purpose and arranged in parallel. As a result, the effectiveness of the sorting can be greatly increased.
- This system also provides so-called clipboards, in which another waste fraction can be temporarily stored before it is taken to the responsible collecting belt.
- the invention has for its object to provide a sorting system in which the work performance of each individual can be taken into account individually without the work process suffering as a result.
- the overall system in a compact arrangement is intended to enable almost complete sorting of all recyclable materials.
- the invention has the advantage over the known sorting systems that the manual labor on such Sorting systems can be used optimally. This takes place in that the material mixture is fed individually to the individual workstation, ie the material mixture arriving on a material feed conveyor belt is branched off from this conveyor belt and fed to the individual workplaces as required. Depending on the work performed by the individual operator, more or less waste can be requested from the feed conveyor belt, so that the operator can determine his own work. It is also possible that a certain work place is not occupied at all or temporarily not occupied, because in this case no new mixture of materials will be added to this work place. Only when the worker at the respective workplace has completely processed the mixture of materials can he request a new mixture of materials from the feed conveyor. However, this can also be done continuously.
- the figure shows
- the following exemplary embodiment is described on the basis of a sorting of a material mixture, as can be used, for example, in the "dual system” for the disposal of packaging material with the so-called “green dot”.
- Packaging made of glass, tinplate, aluminum, cardboard, paper, plastics, composite materials or the like can be used as a valuable material.
- a top view of the sorting system 1 is shown.
- the delivered bags with the packaging material mixture are fed to a bag opening system, not shown, in which the bags are opened and completely emptied.
- This loose material mixture is temporarily stored in a collecting bunker 2 and fed to a material feed conveyor belt 3 in accordance with the transport direction 4.
- the conveyor belt 3 can for example also be designed as an annular conveyor section.
- the circulation of the raw material mixture is shown schematically in the figure, for example by the ring line 5.
- the recyclable material mixture 6 fed from the collecting bunker 2 onto the conveyor belt 3 is transported on the feed conveyor belt 3.
- several individual hand sorting work stations 7 to 9 are provided, on which users 10 to 12 work individually on a single work station.
- branching devices 13 to 15 leading away to the side are provided, each of which has a type of slide switch 16 which can be brought into a deflection position 16 'via a control mechanism (not shown).
- the material mixture 6 arriving at the branches 13 to 15 is deflected at right angles in the direction of the arrows 17 by the slide switches 16 'arranged there in the blocking position and transferred to single-station conveyor belts 19 to 21.
- the mixture of valuable materials branched off onto these single-station conveyor belts is designated by reference number 6 '.
- other devices such as sliders, deflector, discharge flaps or the like can also be used. serve.
- the extent to which the mixture of valuable materials is fed from the conveyor belt 3 to the single-station conveyor belts 19 to 21 is determined by the respective user 10 to 12 by the extent of the workload.
- the respective slide switch 16 is accordingly manually operated by the respective operator in order to intermittently call up the material mixture to be processed to the respective manual sorting work station 7 to 9. If a mixture of recyclable materials is not required at the respective manual sorting work station 7 to 9, the slide switch 16 is in a position aligned parallel to the conveyor belt 3, so that the recyclable material mixture is transported further on the conveyor belt 3 in accordance with the arrow 18.
- the tapes 19 to 21 are then separated from the tape 3.
- the sorting system according to the invention is divided into a loading or feed zone 22 and a manual sorting zone 23. These zones are in parallel next to each other.
- the single station conveyor belts 19 to 21 belong to the loading zone, since they also serve as a buffer for the mixture of materials to be processed.
- Manual sorting workstations 7 to 9 have six different discharge chutes 24, which are themselves labeled al to a6 at workstation 9. Each discharge chute al to a6 is assigned an underlying conveyor belt 25, which are designated in detail by sl to s6.
- the recyclable material fraction thrown into the chute A1 by the user is consequently fed onto the conveyor belt s1, the other recyclable material fraction thrown into the chute a2 onto the conveyor belt s2.
- the collective conveyor belts sl to s6 lead, with the recycled material fractions, to associated collecting bunkers 26, which are shown schematically with collecting bunkers bl to b6 in the figure.
- the collection bunker bl therefore contains the fraction of valuable materials thrown away in the discharge chute al etc.
- a common individual conveyor belt can also be used.
- the individual conveyor belt s then disposes of only one recyclable material fraction by opening the intermediate storage and assigning this recyclable material fraction to a specific recyclable material bunker.
- the intermediate storage (not shown in detail) is opened from the discharge chute A1 and placed on a common conveyor belt. This conveyor belt then brings this monofraction to a specific recycling bin assigned to this monofraction. Then the other discharge chutes can be operated one after the other with the corresponding buffers.
- the remaining fraction 27 can be applied in the direction of the transport arrow 28 to a residual fraction collecting belt 29, which is additionally marked with collecting belt s7.
- a collection bunker 26 provided for this purpose for the residual fraction is designated b6.
- the sorting system shown accordingly allows six different fractions of recyclable material to be sorted out into bunkers bl to b6 and a residual fraction to be discharged into bunker b7.
- the discharge chutes a1 and a2 are located on the side of the respective user 10 to 12, the other discharge chutes a3 to a6 are arranged on the opposite side of the belt of the respective single-place conveyor belt 19 to 21.
- the discharge chutes can be of different sizes in order to meet the size of the recyclables to be introduced.
