IPC: A47, B09B, F04, F15
Background Art:
The method and apparatus of solid wastes automatic collection ductwork
evacuation and comprehensive utilization is designed to reach all kinds of the
solid
wastes automatically collection, evacuation and transportation, eliminate
solid
waste pollution, and generate benefit from waste utilization.
Waste disposal is a huge challenge for dwellers, municipalities, and
industries. It
is expensive and time consuming to collect millions of tonnes of trash every
year,
and there are risks to the environment no matter how we dispose of it. The
ideal
situation is to create no waste, but that is difficult to do. The invention
hereby is to
build an effective, quiet and safer method and apparatus to deal with such
problem,
to achieve all kinds of solid wastes automatically collecting, evacuating and
transporting and get benefit from the wastes renewable utilization that is
finally
making all problems under controlling.
In general, the wastes can be divided into biodegradable waste and in-
degradable
waste. Biodegradable waste is putrescent. It contaminates our environment and
living space. It produces odor, infects diseases and generates methane, one of
the
important greenhouse gas. By now, current process of the solid wastes come
from
household, businesses and industries in the world are still adopt that putting
the
solid wastes into specified containers, packaged by poly bags, manual clean
and
putting it into specified collectors, door to door collecting, and vehicle
transporting
to specified disposal site. It is time consuming, wasting energy, resource,
and
inconvenience. It generates secondary pollution, which comes from the poly
package materials of the wastes. Most of the household and units' wastes are
1
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
WO 2010/108402 PCT/CN2010/070691
biodegradable, putrefactive, but it could be recycled. For being putrefactive,
it
causes contamination of living space, and infecting disease. By now, most of
the
biodegradable solid wastes are put into poly package bag to prevent the odor,
leachate and contamination. In some degree, it is easy to collecting and
transportation, but it causes much contaminated poly materials through the
package
of the waste going into the nature environment that cause serious pollution.
Because of poly materials are stable in the nature and could not be decayed by
bacteria. It accumulates in the world that aggravates the pollution of the
municipal
waste. In general, most of the poly waste comes from household and industries
could be recycle by sorting. Biodegradable wastes can be recycled too.
However,
using poly to package the biodegradable waste cause both poly and
biodegradable
waste cross-contamination, and complicates the elements and ingredient of
municipal wastes. It is too difficulty to be sorted and too difficult to
recycle that
cause waste of resource and risk to environment.
The present disposals of such municipal waste are landfill, incineration and
compost. All of such disposals are pollutant transfer, except compost, a
little
amount to be recycled. Landfill and incineration are pollutants transfer,
because
they are not complete eliminate such waste in the world. For example, landfill
is
only the process transporting municipal waste from cities to landfill site.
Landfill
generates greenhouse gas, odor and leachate, which contributes to global warm,
air
pollution, contaminate groundwater, surface water and cost much land.
Incinerators
are sometimes used to burn waste under carefully controlled conditions. They
are
an acceptable form of disposal, but they are not a perfect solution either.
The ashes
must be disposed of either at a landfill, or if they are toxic, at a hazardous
waste
facility. Burning garbage also produces acid gases, carbon dioxide and toxic
chemicals that must be treated with expensive air pollution control equipment
to
avoid contributing to acid rain, ozone depletion and air pollution. Compost
can
cause odor and accumulate large contaminated poly come from the package of
municipal waste too.
Currently, there is less research, patent and essay can give an effective
solution of
solid waste automatic collecting, evacuating, disposal and completely
elimination
of solid waste. There are patents and research arts, but most of them limited
in
waste sorting, shredding and transferring. For example, the patents about food
waste and closet waste disposals, which limited for food scraps and closet
waste
jam of drainages, are the pollution transfer too. All biodegradable solid
wastes
have different size, rigidity and component. Food waste and closet waste
disposers
which set under dishpan, galley sink as well as spittoons are limited on
shredding
of small food scraps and closet wastes, they are difficulty to cut and grind
the large
2

WO 2010/108402 PCT/CN2010/070691
size, bulk size and hard solid waste, for all of the food scraps flush into
public
drainage system that cause the increase of waste water, consuming large of
fresh
water and wasting resource. It transfers solid waste into wastewater and
exacerbates the pollution for that is difficult purifying. The disposers are
also
easily mechanism jam caused by hard food waste, such as bones.
On-site treatment method of food waste, USA patent No. 7108788, need large
extra
space, such as the wastewater collector, the waste separate chamber. It is
difficulty
implement in household and business units. The wastewater of the process is
still
drainage into municipal wastewater systems that cause much difficulty to
purify
and exacerbate the pollution.
Aiming to reach the facilitative dropping, automatically dumping, collecting,
evacuating and transporting of the solid wastes, made solid waste renewable
and
generate benefit from utilization of the wastes, to overcome such problems
encountered in the prior arts, the present invention hereby designed an
effective
method and safe apparatus, to greenhouse gas reduction, poly package materials
pollution elimination, and putrescent solid wastes automatically removing, and
recycling. It provides the ancillary benefits of limiting odors, saving fresh
water,
reducing wastewater, controlling biodegradable waste pollution, reducing owner
liability, providing owner convenience, and providing a potential source of
energy
and profit.

Detail Description of the Present Invention
The present invention, the method and apparatus of solid wastes automatic
collection ductwork evacuation and comprehensive utilization, comprise the
following procedure and apparatus:
1. Sorting the solid waste; in general the solid waste basically contains poly
materials, paper and biodegradable waste. While dropping, put the wastes
respectively to correspond combined multiple solid waste fluidize collector to
save the resource, easy renew process and reduce the risk to environment. It
is
easy to do, because it is popular practiced and implemented in North America.
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
WO 2010/108402 PCT/CN2010/070691
2. Facilitating dropping and automatically collecting; Designing safe power
switch
and lid automatic open infrared sensor assembly 203 of the multiple solid
waste
fluidize collector and setting the multiple solid waste fluidize collector
indoor 1,
such as kitchens, industrial units and malls, and outdoor 2, such as public
squares, curbsides and parks is to facilitate the owners and pedestrian to
drop the
wastes into the container of the multiple solid waste fluidize collector.
Anyone
goes nearby the multiple solid waste fluidize collector, the infrared sensor
and
lid opener controlled by the main board automatically open the lid of the
collector and cut off the power of motor for safety; after drop off, the lid
automatically close and connect the power of the motor. Weighting by the
weight sensor, which controlled by main board, when the waste in the container
accumulated to capacity or specified timer, the motor of the multiple solid
waste
fluidize collector turns on.
3. Automatic medium proportion; To save water, reduce wastewater and increase
the concentration of the fluidized waste particle and jam, the procedure and
its
apparatus equipped automatic medium proportioner. The medium comprises
both gas and liquid medium. Adding certain liquid medium such as water into
the fluidizing process can increase the fluidity of the waste particle and
jam,
reduce the diameter of evacuate pipe and reduce cost of the pipeline
construction, but it increases the wastewater. Proportion medium can optimize
the process, and largely reduce water, wastewater and the cost. To meet the
water short areas work condition, using gas medium can save water and
eliminate wastewater, in spite of gas medium fluidize waste should need larger
diameter of the evacuate pipe, and higher cost than that of liquid medium.
4. Automatically fluidizing all kinds of solid wastes into uniform solid waste
particle and jam to satisfy duct pipeline evacuation and transportation; The
components of solid waste are complex. It depends different kinds of sources
such as yard trash, food waste, farm, industrial waste and business trash;
different elements, such as fiber, lawn, leaves, food, wood, poly, paper and
meat;
different size, such as pumpkin, potato and cabbage; different rigidity, such
as
wood, pork bon, beef bon, shell and nucleolus. They are difficulty to shatter,
shred, grind and easy cause mechanism jam. To overcome such problems, the
present invention developed a multiple mechanism jam free cut, shatter, shred
and grind assembly 208 which comprises plural flexible arcuate infeeding
blades
208a, shatter balls 208b, rotatable shafts (swivel conjoint) 208c, which are
equiangular fixed on higher disk 208d, plural equiangular fixed, rotating
vertical
blades 208e, indention edge (including rotating cut ring 505), serration
surface
grinding disk, on which surface there are sharp alloy tooth arrayed 208f,
flexible

baffles & cuts 208g, which plural equiangular fixed on the wall of the
container,
and low indent cut screen 208h (including fixed screen ring 506). In general,
the
moisture of the solid waste is 50% to 80% water. If particles content water is
more than 80%, the particle will be fluid and floatable. For water saving and
reducing the later wastewater of the procedure, the present invention equipped
with water proportion assembly, which control the water consuming by weight
sensor and main-board. The present invention designed two ways to meet the
requirement of different user. One is wet cut, shred & grind or liquid medium
grind; restrictively adding water or liquid medium into the waste container by
the water proportion assembly which controlled by programmed main board
according the weight of the waste in the container, the invention multiple
waste
grinding collector turn on the power of motor and drive multiple mechanism jam
free cutting, shattering and grind assembly 208 to cut, shred and grind the
waste
into jam and evacuated and transported by liquid medium pumps and ductwork
going to collect tank 4. The second is gaseous medium grinding or dry
grinding;
for it could be practice in the water short district, the present invention
multiple
waste grinding collector can also shred and grind solid waste with gaseous
medium or waterless and get dry fluidized uniform particle or high viscosity
jam,
that can be evacuated and transported by vacuum pump, air pump, high density
& viscosity pumps via ductwork going to regional collect tanks. The operation
costs is higher than that of liquid medium grind, liquid pump, ductwork
transportation, but it is water saving and wastewater reducing. Thus, the
fluidize
medium of the disclosed method comprise both gas and liquid mediums
The components of the fluidize procedure and the parts of the multiple solid
waste fluidize collector can be simplified and reform for specified use. If it
is
used to fluidize soft solid waste the shatter ball 208b can be taken off. If
it is
used to fluidize poly waste, it can heat the waste in the container to melt
point
and soft and then fluidize the waste.
The invention multiple solid waste fluidize collector equipped heater for that
can
work well in low temperature and bad weather condition, such as outdoor and
winter, in which the heater can be used to soft poly waste.
For water saving, the invention multiple solid waste fluidize collector
quipped
water proportion assembly.
For benefit and safe the user, the invention multiple solid waste fluidize
collector quipped automatic clean, de-odor, noise reducing, safe operating
power
switch, and lid opener infrared sensor assembly.

For easy discharge, the invention multiple solid waste fluidize collector
equipped direct auger-type and side auger-type depot bottom.
For manageable, the invention multiple solid waste fluidize collector equipped
timer, main board and remote control system.
For multiple use, the multiple solid waste fluidize collector can be Combined
to
fluidize poly, paper and biodegradable solid waste respectively 2 (Fig 1).
For the regional system management and regional remote controlling, the
invention multiple solid waste fluidize collector equipped information
exchange
assembly.
The working principle of the invention multiple solid waste fluidize collector
is:
opening the lid of the container by infrared sensor lid opener assembly,
putting
all large size, bulk size and hard solid waste into the container of the
invention
multiple solid waste fluidize collector, making decision of water proportion
or
waterless grinding by weight sensor, water proportion assembly and main board.
Driving by motor, the vertical blades 208e and flexible arcuate infeeding
blades
208a, shatter balls 208b, cut, shatter and shred the solid waste into scraps,
when
the large sizes solid waste blocks the flexible arcuate infeeding blades and
shatter balls, they turn back to center by the rotatable shaft and form a
ellipse or
indent disk with cutting edge and shatter balls that largely reduce the
resistance.
Then forced by centrifuge, the ellipse or indent disk cutting and shattering
the
waste blocked that breaks the mechanism jam easily and automatically. The
scraps cut by vertical blades 208e, and forced by centrifugal of spin going
into
the gap between indention edge, serration face grinding disk (on which
equipped
alloy tooth on the surface) 208f and flexible baffles & cuts 208g, which
plural
equiangular fixed on the wall of the container, the baffle force the scraps
down
and block onto the serration face grinding disk which grinds the scraps into
floatable, fluid particle and jam. If the resistance is higher than normal
work
condition, it may cause mechanism jam which can be released by the elasticity
of the edge of the flexible baffle, the flexible baffle edge will be forced to
go up
and down by the elasticity that can easily release the waste scraps blocked
between the baffle and serration face grinding disk that releases the mechanic
jam in second. After cutting, fibers are forced to the edge between indention
edge, serration face grinding disk and low indent cut screen, which cut and
filter
to get uniform floatable, fluid particle and jam. If it is the side auger-type
depot
multiple solid waste fluidize collector (Fig 5), the fibers will be forced
into the
8
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
WO 2010/108402 PCT/CN2010/070691
rotating cut ring (505) and fixed screen ring (506) that cut and filter it to
uniform
floatable, fluid particle and jam. The pump, aspirator, suction chamber
evacuating, transporting the particle and jam from container going into
anger-type bottom depot and force it going to regional collect tanks via duct
pipes connect the invention multiple solid waste fluidize collectors. That get
purified uniform biodegradable waste particle and jam without any contaminated
poly package.
5. Off site transportation; The sorted fluidized poly waste and paper waste
can be
transported to renew plants, useful nutrient food waste particle and jam are
transported to feedstuff plant for recycle, protein producing and bio-
purification.
Other biodegradable waste, such as household waste, grasses, leaves and
industrial waste particles and jam are transported to methane and fertilizer
manufacture plant to produce methane and fertilizer. Setting regional collect
tanks in residential area and site is easy for collecting, managing the
capacity of
the process system, sorting and transportation. If the collect tank is far
from the
disposal site, the waste particle and jam can be transport by both vehicle and
ducting pipe with pumps.
6. Automatic regional management and public municipal facility sharing; The
present invention designed to share the present municipal drainage ductwork to
reduce the cost of ductwork construction by controlling the waste evacuating
time of the multiple solid waste fluidize collectors through the information
exchange assembly set in the invention solid waste fluidize collector, and
setting
a switch at the outlet or the end of the present municipal drainage pipeline.
During the spare time of the regional municipal drainage pipeline, under
carefully controlling and monitoring of the regional manage house, the
multiple
solid waste fluidize collectors evacuate the fluidized uniform waste particle
and
jam into municipal drainage pipeline, in the same time turn the switch set at
the
outlet of the drainage pipeline and conduct the waste particle and jam going
to
the regional collect tanks. When finish, using municipal wastewater to clean
the
drainage pipeline and then turn the switch back to municipal wastewater
system.
Setting regional manage house can effectively manage the capacity of the
process system and optimize the resource too.
7. Recycle and utilization; Sorted the fluidized particle and jam by the
coming
source and components, poly waste and paper waste are transported to renew
plants for recycle, useful nutrient food waste, such as food industrial waste,
restaurant, kitchen waste could be transported to feedstuff plant for protein
recycle and bio-purification such as breeding worm, snail and aquatics,
fluidized
9
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
WO 2010/108402 PCT/CN2010/070691
biodegradable waste particle and jam go to methane and fertilizer manufacture
plant to produce methane for renew fuel. It is highly use the fluidized
particle
and jam as a source of energy and eliminate greenhouse gas. After sterilizing,
sludge can be transported to farm for irrigation. If it is an independent
house,
industrial and business unit, the dreg and sludge could be directly
transported to
backyard and garden for irrigation. For the odor reducing and absorbing, the
invention developed an underground irrigation and hydrophyte purification
system by ground aqueduct conducting the dreg and sludge going under the root
of lawn and hydrophyte that can effectively eliminate the odor. The methane
generated from independent methane pool can be collected through pipeline.
The dreg and sludge can also be pumped to dewater chamber for organic
fertilizer and further carbonization for fuel. The present invention designed
a
gravity compress dewater chamber to meet the large quantity of the waste dreg
and sludge dewater process. The gravity compress dewater chamber like a huge
cylinder comprises internal fabric filter wall, frames and exterior de-odor
wall. It
is formed by plural removable filter arcs, which linked together by joint.
Dreg
and sludge are pumped into the cylinder, water squeezed by gravity. After
drying,
remove the filter arcs and take out the sludge for fertilizer. The sludge also
could
be carbonized for fuel by high temperature. Using gravity compress dewater
could be largely reducing operation cost of the process system.
8. Cost saving; The process procedure of the method and parts of the apparatus
can
be simplified and reformed for specified use. For example, for the independent
house, rural and lower density population areas, the fluidized waste particle
and
jam can directly evacuate to the independent methane generating pool, methane
collected through pipeline, sludge are transported to back yard and garden for
irrigation, that forms an independent recycle and purification system to
reduce
the cost of pipeline construction. Because the fluidized waste evacuate
pipeline
needs winter proof, the diameter is large than that of methane and the
construction cost is respectively higher than that of methane. If it is for
bulk size
and soft solid waste grinding, some parts of the multiple waste grinding
collector can be simplified, such as the shatter balls of the multiple
mechanism
jam free cutting, shattering and grind assembly can be taken off that can
simplify the machine to reduce power consuming.
The lower the viscosity of the particle and jam is, the better for the
pipeline
evacuation and the lower cost. However, if the more the water added, the more
the wastewater generated, the more water consuming and the lower value of the
particle and jam which cause waste resource. Water proportion assembly
equipped in the invention multiple solid waste fluidize collector is to
balance the
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
WO 2010/108402 PCT/CN2010/070691
problems and offer the best solution. Besides, the present invention designed
two transportation ways, it comprise:
A. Gaseous medium shattering, by vacuum pump, air pump and high density &
viscosity pump evacuation via duct pipe transportation; the dry fluidized
waste
particle or high density and viscosity waste jam evacuated and transported by
duct pipeline and pumps with gaseous medium. For the water short district, it
is
the advantage of water saving and low wastewater, but the cost is higher. It
needs more power to evacuate the particle and jam in the duct pipeline and the
diameter of duct pipe is larger, that means the higher cost of project
construction.
B. Proportion water or liquid medium grinding, liquid medium pumps and
ductwork evacuation; if the wet waste jam is evacuated and transported by
pumps and duct pipeline with liquid medium, it is advantage of low cost of
project construction and easy evacuating, transporting. But it is a little bit
more
wastewater.
However, both of them have the advantage of odorless, sanitary, no
contaminated poly package pollution, and get purified uniform waste particle
and jam. The wastewater caused is under controlling. Besides, both A and B can
be cross-referenced and employed for specified use.
Share the living municipal drainage systems and facilities to save and reduce
the
cost of the duct pipe construction. The municipal drainage is not busy and
work
for 24 hours. Setting a switch at the end of living municipal drainage
pipeline to
cut the fluidized waste jam and duct it to regional collectors, effectively
managing the spare time of the municipal drainage by the regional manage
house that can reach to share the municipal drainage. By manage the capacity
of
the process system and share the living municipal drainage pipelines and
facilities to reduce the cost and expense of fluidized waste duct pipeline
construction.

Method and Apparatus for Solid Wastes Automatic Collection Pipeline Evacuation
and Poly Package Removing
Background
Technology Field:
The present invention, the method and apparatus for solid wastes automatic
collection pipeline evacuation and poly package removing, pertains, in
general, to
io solid waste facilitative dropping, automatically collecting, evacuating,
transporting,
getting uniform simplex waste for recycling, renewable utilization, putrescent
waste contamination eliminating, poly materials pollution eliminating and
greenhouse gas reducing.
IPC: A47, B09B, F04, F 15
Background Art:
The method and apparatus for solid wastes automatic collection pipeline
evacuation and poly package removing is designed to reach all kinds of the
solid
wastes automatically collection, evacuation and long distance transportation,
getting uniform simplex waste for recycling, eliminate solid waste pollution,
poly
materials pollution and generate benefit from waste utilization.
Waste disposal is a huge challenge for dwellers, municipalities, and
industries. It
is expensive and time consuming to collect millions of tonnes of trash every
year,
and there are risks to the environment no matter how we dispose of it. The
ideal
situation is to create no waste, but that is difficult to do. The invention
hereby is to
build an effective, quiet and safer method and apparatus to deal with such
problem,
to achieve all kinds of solid wastes automatically collecting, evacuating and
transporting and get benefit from the wastes renewable utilization that is
finally
making all problems under controlling.
In general, the wastes can be divided into biodegradable waste and
in-degradable waste. Biodegradable waste is putrescent. It contaminates our
environment and living space. It produces odor, infects diseases and generates
methane, one of the important greenhouse gas. By now, current process of the
solid
wastes coming from household, businesses and industries in the world are still
adopting that putting the solid wastes into specified containers, packaged by
poly
bags, manual clean and putting it into specified collectors, door to door
collecting,
and vehicle transporting to specified disposal site. It is time consuming,
wasting
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
energy, resource, and inconvenience. It generates secondary pollution, which
comes from the poly package materials of the wastes. Most of the household and
units' wastes are biodegradable, putrefactive, but it could be recycled. For
being
putrefactive, it causes contamination of living space, and infecting disease.
By now,
most of the biodegradable solid wastes are put into poly package bag to
prevent the
odor, leachate and contamination. In some degree, it is easy to collecting and
transportation, but it causes much contaminated poly materials through the
package
of the waste going into the nature environment that causes serious pollution.
Because of poly materials are stable in the nature and could not be decayed by
io bacteria. It accumulates in the world that aggravates the pollution of the
municipal
waste. In general, most of the poly waste comes from household and industries
could be recycle by sorting. Biodegradable wastes can be recycled too.
However,
using poly to package the biodegradable waste causes both poly and
biodegradable
waste cross-contamination, and complicates the elements and ingredient of
municipal wastes. It is too difficult to be sorted and too difficult to
recycle that
causes waste of resource and risk to environment.
The present disposals of such municipal waste are landfill, incineration and
compost. All of such disposals are pollutant transfer, except compost, a
little
amount to be recycled. Landfill and incineration are pollutants transfer,
because
they are not complete eliminate such waste in the world. For example, landfill
is
only the process transporting municipal waste from cities to landfill site.
Landfill
generates greenhouse gas, odor and leachate, which contributes to global warm,
air
pollution, contaminates groundwater, surface water and costs much land.
Incinerators are sometimes used to burn waste under carefully controlled
conditions. They are an acceptable form of disposal, but they are not a
perfect
solution either. The ashes must be disposed of either at a landfill, or if
they are
toxic, at a hazardous waste facility. Burning garbage also produces acid
gases,
carbon dioxide and toxic chemicals that must be treated with expensive air
pollution control equipment to avoid contributing to acid rain, ozone
depletion and
air pollution. Compost can cause odor and accumulate large contaminated poly
come from the package of municipal waste too.
Currently, there is less research, patent and essay can give an effective
solution
of solid waste automatic collecting, evacuating, disposal and completely
elimination of solid waste. There are patents and research arts, but most of
them
limited in waste sorting, shredding and transferring. For example, the patents
about
food waste and closet waste disposals, which limited for food scraps and
closet
waste jam of drainages, are the pollution transfer too. All biodegradable
solid
wastes have different size, rigidity and component. Food waste and closet
waste
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
disposers which set under dishpan, galley sink as well as spittoons are
limited on
shredding of small food scraps and closet wastes, they are difficulty to cut
and
grind the large size, bulk size and hard solid waste, for all of the food
scraps flush
into public drainage system that causes the increase of waste water, consuming
large of fresh water and wasting resource. It transfers solid waste into
wastewater
and exacerbates the pollution for that is difficult purifying. The disposers
are also
easily mechanism jam caused by hard food waste, such as bones.
On-site treatment method of food waste, USA patent No. 7108788, need large
extra space, such as the wastewater collector, the waste separate chamber. It
is
difficulty implement in household and business units. The wastewater of the
process is still drainage into municipal wastewater systems that causes much
difficulty to purify and exacerbates the pollution.
The patents, CN1868933A and JP2000-024630A, come from different technical
field. The patent JP2000-024630A, which for kitchen waste process, put the
ground garbage with excrement and domestic waste water that increase the waste
water, exacerbates the waste pollution, reduces the value of solid waste and
increases the process cost. JP2000-024630A is not widely practice, because
ferment methane is a long term process, it takes long time. Large mixed waste
liquid should need large facilities to meet the ferment requirements of
methane
production, the cost is high. In the same time, the waste mixed with excrement
and
domestic waste water diluted the concentration of organism, that debases the
generating rate of methane, and reduced, draw down to lost the value of the
waste.
CN1868933A focus renewing energy, in which renewing waste for energy and
resource is a common knowledge. Furthermore, CN1868933A is lack of waste
source. It is difficult to get simplex component waste, because the present
day, the
widely use the poly materials to package the solid waste, and complex the
component of the waste, that leads to the waste lost the value and has to be
landfilled. For CN1868933A is short of the waste resource, that leads it
difficult to
be widely practiced.
Aiming to reach the facilitative dropping, automatically dumping, collecting,
evacuating, transporting of the solid wastes, and getting uniform & simplex
component waste to make solid waste renewable and generate benefit from
utilization of the wastes, to overcome such problems encountered in the prior
arts,
the present invention hereby designed an effective method and safe apparatus,
to
greenhouse gas reduction, poly package materials pollution elimination, and
putrescent solid wastes automatically removing, getting uniform & simplex
component waste for recycling. It provides the ancillary benefits of limiting
odors,
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
saving fresh water, reducing wastewater, controlling biodegradable waste
pollution,
reducing owner liability, providing owner convenience, and providing a
potential
source of energy and profit.

Detail Description of the Present Invention
The present invention, the method and apparatus for solid wastes automatic
collection pipeline evacuation and poly package removing, comprises the
following procedure and apparatus:
1. Sorting the solid waste; in general the solid waste basically contains poly
materials, paper and biodegradable waste. While dropping, put the wastes
respectively to correspond combined multiple solid waste fluidize collector to
simplify the component of the waste and reach to save the resource, easy renew
process and reduce the risk to environment. It is easy to do, because it is
popular
practiced and implemented in North America.
2. Facilitating dropping and automatically collecting; Designing safe power
switch and lid automatic open infrared sensor assembly (203) of the multiple
solid
waste fluidizing collector and setting the multiple solid waste fluidizing
collector
indoor (1), such as kitchens, industrial units and malls, and outdoor (2),
such as
public squares, curbsides and parks is to facilitate the owners and pedestrian
to
drop the wastes into the container of the multiple solid waste fluidizing
collector.
Anyone goes nearby the multiple solid waste fluidizing collector, the infrared
sensor and lid opener controlled by the main board automatically open the lid
of
the collector and cut off the power of motor for safety; after drop off, the
lid
automatically closes and connects the power of the motor. Weighting by the
weight
sensor, which controlled by main board, when the waste in the container
accumulated to the capacity or specified timer, the motor of the multiple
solid
waste fluidizing collector turns on.
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
3. Automatic medium proportion; to save water, reduce wastewater and increase
the concentration of the fluidized waste particle and jam, the procedure and
its
apparatus equipped automatic medium proportioner. The medium comprises both
gas and liquid medium. Adding certain liquid medium such as water into the
fluidizing process can increase the fluidity of the waste particle and jam,
reduce the
diameter of evacuating pipe and reduce cost of the pipeline construction, but
it
increases the wastewater. Proportion medium can optimize the process, and
largely
reduce water, wastewater and the cost. To meet the water short areas work
io condition, using gas medium can save water and eliminate wastewater, in
spite of
gas medium fluidized waste should need larger diameter of the evacuating pipe,
and higher cost than that of liquid medium.
4. Automatically fluidizing all kinds of solid wastes into uniform solid waste
particle and jam to satisfy duct pipeline evacuation and transportation; the
components of solid waste are complex. It depends different kinds of sources
such
as yard trash, food waste, farm, industrial waste and business trash;
different
elements, such as fiber, lawn, leaves, food, wood, poly, paper and meat;
different
size, such as pumpkin, potato and cabbage; different rigidity, such as wood,
pork
bon, beef bon, shell and nucleolus. They are difficulty to shatter, shred,
grind and
easy cause mechanism jam. To overcome such problems, the present invention
developed a multiple mechanism jam free waste fluidizing assembly (208) which
comprises plural flexible arcuate infeeding blades (208a), shatter balls
(208b),
rotatable shafts (swivel conjoint) (208c), which are equiangular fixed on
higher
disk (208d), plural equiangular fixed, rotating vertical blades (208e),
indention
edge, including rotating cut ring (505), serration surface grinding disk, on
which
surface there are sharp alloy tooth arrayed 208f, flexible baffles & cuts
(208g),
which plural equiangular fixed on the wall of the container, and low indent
cut
screen (208h), including fixed screen ring (506). In general, the moisture of
the
solid waste is 50% to 80% water. If particles content water is more than 80%,
the
particle will be fluid and floatable. For water saving and reducing the later
wastewater of the procedure, the present invention equipped with water
proportion
assembly, which control the water consuming by weight sensor and main-board.
The present invention designed two ways to meet the requirement of different
user.
One is wet fluidizing or liquid medium fluidizing; restrictively adding water
or
liquid medium into the waste container by the water proportion assembly which
controlled by programmed main board according the weight of the waste in the
container, the invention multiple waste fluidizing collector turn on the power
of
motor and drives multiple mechanism jam free fluidizing assembly (208) to cut,
shred, grind and screen the waste into uniform jam and evacuated and
transported
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
by liquid medium pumps, through the pipeline going to collect tank (4). The
second is gaseous medium fluidizing or dry fluidizing; for it could be
practiced in
the water short district, the present invention multiple waste fluidizing
collector
can also fluidize the solid waste with gaseous medium or waterless and get dry
fluidized uniform particle or high viscosity jam, that can be evacuated and
transported by vacuum pump, air pump, high density & viscosity pumps through
pipeline going to regional collect tanks. The operation cost is higher than
that of
liquid medium fluidizing, liquid pump, ductwork transportation, but it is
water
saving and wastewater reducing. Thus, the fluidizing medium of the disclosed
io method comprises both gas and liquid mediums
The components of the fluidizing procedure and the parts of the multiple solid
waste fluidizing collector can be simplified and reform for specified use. If
it is
used to fluidize soft solid waste the shatter ball (208b) can be taken off. If
it is used
to fluidize poly waste, it can heat the waste in the container to melt point
and soft
and then fluidize the waste.
The invention multiple solid waste fluidizing collector equipped heater for
that
can work well in low temperature and bad weather condition, such as outdoor
and
winter, in which the heater can be used to soft poly waste.
For water saving, the invention multiple solid waste fluidizing collector
quipped
water proportion assembly.
For benefit and safe the user, the invention multiple solid waste fluidizing
collector quipped automatic clean, de-odor, noise reducing, safe operating
power
switch, and lid opener infrared sensor assembly.
For easy discharge, the invention multiple solid waste fluidizing collector
3o equipped direct auger-type and side auger-type depot bottom.
For manageable, the invention multiple solid waste fluidizing collector
equipped
timer, main board and remote control system.
For multiple uses, two or more of the multiple solid waste fluidizing
collectors
can be combined to fluidize poly, paper and biodegradable solid waste
respectively
(2) (Fig 1).
For the regional system management and regional remote controlling, the
invention multiple solid waste fluidizing collector equipped information
exchange
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
assembly.
The working principle of the invention multiple solid waste fluidizing
collector
is: opening the lid of the container by infrared sensor lid opener assembly,
putting
all large size, bulk size and hard solid waste into the container of the
invention
multiple solid waste fluidizing collector, making decision of water proportion
or
waterless fluidizing by weight sensor, water proportion assembly and main
board.
Driving by the motor, the vertical blades (208e) and flexible arcuate
infeeding
blades (208a), shatter balls (208b), cut, shatter and shred the solid waste
into scraps,
io when the large sizes solid waste blocks the flexible arcuate infeeding
blades and
shatter balls, they turn back to center by the rotatable shaft and form a
ellipse or
indent disk with cutting edge and shatter balls that largely reduces the
resistance.
Then forced by centrifuge, the ellipse or indent disk cutting and shattering
the
waste blocked that breaks the mechanism jam easily and automatically. The
scraps
cut by vertical blades (208e), and forced by centrifugal of spin going into
the gap
between indention edge, serration face grinding disk, on which equipped alloy
tooth on the surface (208f) and flexible baffles & cuts (208g), which plural
equiangular fixed on the wall of the container, the baffle forces the scraps
down
and block onto the serration face grinding disk which grinds the scraps into
floatable, fluid particle and jam. If the resistance is higher than normal
work
condition, it may cause mechanism jam which can be released by the elasticity
of
the edge of the flexible baffle, the flexible baffle edge will be forced to go
up and
down by the elasticity that can easily release the waste scraps blocked
between the
baffle and serration face grinding disk that releases the mechanic jam in
second.
After cutting, fibers are forced to the edge between indention edge, serration
face
grinding disk and low indent cut screen, which cut and filter to get uniform
floatable, fluid particle and jam. If it is the side auger-type depot multiple
solid
waste fluidizing collector (Fig 5), the fibers will be forced into the
rotating cut ring
(505) and fixed screen ring (506) that cut and filter it to uniform floatable,
fluid
particle and jam. The pump, aspirator, suction chamber evacuating,
transporting
the particle and jam from the container going into anger-type bottom depot and
force it going to regional collect tanks through the duct pipes connect the
invention
multiple solid waste fluidizing collectors. That get purified uniform &
simplex
biodegradable waste particle and jam without any contaminated poly package.
5. Off site transportation; the sorted fluidized poly waste and paper waste
can be
transported to renew plants and dewater or de-medium for renew, useful
nutrient
food waste particle and jam are transported to feedstuff plant for recycle,
protein
producing and bio-purification. Other biodegradable waste, such as household
waste, grasses, leaves and industrial waste particles and jam are transported
to
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
methane and fertilizer manufacture plant to produce methane and fertilizer.
Setting
regional collect tanks in residential area and site is easy for collecting,
managing
the capacity of the process system, sorting and transportation. If the
collecting tank
is far from the disposal site, the waste particle and jam can be transport by
both
vehicle and ducting pipe with pumps.
6. Automatic regional management and public municipal facility sharing; The
present invention designed to share the present municipal drainage pipeline to
reduce the cost of the pipeline construction by controlling the waste
evacuating
i o time of the multiple solid waste fluidizing collectors through the
information
exchange assembly set in the invention solid waste fluidizing collector, and
setting
a switch at the outlet or the end of the present municipal drainage pipeline.
During
the spare time of the regional municipal drainage pipeline, under carefully
controlling and monitoring of the regional manage house, the multiple solid
waste
fluidizing collectors evacuate the fluidized uniform waste particle and jam
into
municipal drainage pipeline, in the same time turn the switch set at the
outlet of the
drainage pipeline and conducts the waste particle and jam going to the
regional
collect tanks. When finish, using municipal wastewater to clean the drainage
pipeline and then turn the switch back to municipal wastewater system. Setting
regional manage house can effectively manage the capacity of the
transportation
and the process system and optimize the resource too.
7. Recycle and utilization; Sorted the fluidized particle and jam by the
coming
source and components, poly waste and paper waste are transported to renew
plants for recycle, useful nutrient food waste, such as food industrial waste,
restaurant, kitchen waste could be transported to feedstuff plant for protein
recycle
and bio-purification such as breeding worm, snail and aquatics, fluidized
biodegradable waste particle and jam can go to methane and fertilizer
manufacture
plant to produce methane for renew fuel. It is highly use the fluidized
particle and
jam as a source of energy and eliminates greenhouse gas. After sterilizing,
sludge
can be transported to farm for irrigation. If it is an independent house,
industrial
and business unit, the dreg and sludge could be directly transported to
backyard
and garden for irrigation. For the odor reducing and absorbing, the invention
developed an underground irrigation and hydrophyte purification system by
ground
aqueduct conducting the dreg and sludge going under the root of lawn and
hydrophyte that can effectively eliminate the odor. The methane generated from
independent methane pool can be collected through pipeline. The dreg and
sludge
can also be pumped to dewater chamber for organic fertilizer and further
carbonization for fuel. The present invention designed a gravity compress
dewater
chamber to meet the large quantity of the waste dreg and sludge dewater
process.
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
The gravity compress dewater chamber like a huge cylinder comprises internal
fabric filter wall, frames and exterior de-odor wall. It is formed by plural
removable filter arcs, which linked together by joint. Dreg and sludge are
pumped
into the cylinder, water squeezed by gravity. After drying, remove the filter
arcs
and take out the sludge for fertilizer. The sludge also could be carbonized
for fuel
by high temperature. Using gravity compress dewater could be largely reducing
operation cost of the process system.
8. Cost saving; the process procedure of the method and parts of the apparatus
i o can be simplified and reformed for specified use. For example, for the
independent
house, rural and lower density population areas, the fluidized waste particle
and
jam can directly evacuate to the independent methane generating pool, methane
collected through pipeline, sludge are transported to back yard and garden for
irrigation, that forms an independent recycle and purification system to
reduce the
cost of pipeline construction. Because the fluidized waste evacuating pipeline
needs winter proof, the diameter is large than that of methane and the
construction
cost is respectively higher than that of methane. If it is for bulk size and
soft solid
waste grinding, some parts of the multiple waste fluidizing collector can be
simplified, such as the shatter balls of the multiple mechanism jam free
fluidizing
assembly can be taken off that can simplify the machine to reduce power
consuming.
The lower the viscosity of the particle and jam is, the better for the
pipeline
evacuation and the lower cost. However, if the more the water added, the more
the
wastewater generated, the more water consuming and the lower value of the
particle and jam which causes waste resource. Water proportion assembly
equipped
in the invention multiple solid waste fluidizing collector is to balance the
problems
and offers the best solution. Besides, the present invention designed two
transportation ways, it comprises:
A. Gaseous medium fluidizing, by vacuum pump, air pump and high density &
viscosity pump evacuation through the duct pipe transportation; the dry
fluidized
waste particle or high density and viscosity waste jam evacuated and
transported
by duct pipeline and pumps with gaseous medium. For the water short district,
it is
the advantage of water saving and low wastewater, but the cost is higher. It
needs
more power to evacuate the particle and jam in the duct pipeline and the
diameter
of duct pipe is larger, that means the higher cost of project construction.
B. Proportion water or liquid medium fluidizing, liquid medium pumps and
pipeline evacuation; if the wet waste jam is evacuated and transported by
pumps
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
and duct pipeline with liquid medium, it is advantage of low cost of project
construction and easy evacuating, transporting. But it is a little bit more
wastewater.
However, both of them have the advantage of odorless, sanitary, no
contaminated poly package pollution, and get purified uniform waste particle
and
jam. The wastewater caused is under controlling. Besides, both A and B can be
cross-referenced and employed for specified use.
Sharing the living municipal drainage systems and facilities to save and
reduce
the cost of the duct pipe construction. The municipal drainage is not busy and
work
for 24 hours. Setting a switch at the end of living municipal drainage
pipeline to
cut the fluidized waste jam and ducts it to regional collectors, effectively
managing
the spare time of the municipal drainage by the regional manage house that can
reach to share the municipal drainage. By management of the capacity of the
process system and sharing the living municipal drainage pipelines and
facilities to
reduce the cost and expense of fluidized waste duct pipeline construction.
9. Removing the poly package materials from waste, eliminating the poly waste
pollution, getting a fluidized uniform, simplex waste particles and jam with
high
renew value and achieves the solid waste automation. For the fluidized waste
particle and jam are flowable and satisfied to the pipe line transportation,
the waste
can go through pipe without of the package materials that get the uniform,
simplex
component waste with the high value for recycle and eliminates the cross
contaminated poly materials and putrescent waste pollution. For the fluidized
particle and jam can go through pipe, it is easy controlling by equipments and
manage house, that finally reach at the solid waste automation.
The present invention adopts independent pipe line systems to transport the
fluidized waste particle and jam, protect it being mixed with the drainage to
upgrade the value of the waste, reduce waste water and the cost.
The present invention, by fluidizing solid waste to satisfy the qualification
of
pipe line transportation, made solid waste flowable and achieves the
automation of
the solid waste dumping, collection and transportation and got poly package
free,
uniform and simplex waste particle and jam for renewable resource.
The present invention, Method and Apparatus for Solid Wastes Automatic
Collection Pipeline Evacuation and poly package removing focus solid waste,
4o especially municipal waste, facilitating dropping, automatically
collection, long
CA 02753448 2011-08-24
distance transportation, ultimately removing the poly package from waste and
getting uniform and simplex waste particle and jam for renew and resource. It
is
different from JP2000-024630A and CN1868933A, The present invention gives the
best solution for collecting the solid waste, removing the poly package
materials,
transporting through small diameter pipe for long distance and getting the
simplex
organic waste with high valuable concentration. The advantage of the present
invention is following:
a. Make reality of all solid waste automation. In the modern world, everything
is
automatic, the last one with manual collection is the solid waste. The
technology realized all solid waste automation. It is largely reduce the
liability
of the dwellers, industrials and municipalities. It will largely promote the
social
development, the economic development and the civilization development.
b. The technology will completely eliminate the pollution of the solid waste.
It
changes the time of using poly package, saves the poly package and prevent
large contaminated poly package materials risk to environment.
c. It makes all solid waste renewable. It saves much land set for landfill and
offers
the solution of the challenge of waste disposal for the municipalities.
d. It creates benefits from solid waste. The technology produces uniform,
simplex
component waste with the high value for recycle and resource that replaces the
nature resource to enhance the sustainable development of the word economy
and it developed a brand new market need of the multiple solid waste
fluidizing
collector, MWFC. It will like computer, home appliance related thousands
families, industrials and municipalities.
e. It eliminates the green house gas emission from landfill, putrescent solid
waste
pollution, poly pollution and saves much land.
f. Reducing the diameter of the duct pine line. The test results shown, that 1-
2cm
diameter pipe is good enough to conduct the fluidized waste jam with 5m/sec
for the distance of 200m. Comparing with the other discloses, the present
invention used smaller diameter pipe for long distance transportation that
reduces the cost of pipeline construction.
