本発明は、 カーペッ トのリサイクルに係るもので、 使い捨てが顕著に なっている消費社会において省資源化を実現することができるカーぺヅ トの再生方法と再生用力一ぺッ ト、 及び再生用カーぺッ トのリサイクル システムに関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to the recycling of carpet, and a method and a power for recycling a carpet capable of realizing resource saving in a consumer society in which disposable use is prominent. Regarding the recycling system of the carpet. Background art
近年、 環境問題がクローズアップされ、 各種分野における廃棄物の処 理方法に苦慮しているのが現状である。  In recent years, environmental issues have been highlighted and struggling with waste disposal methods in various fields.
使用済み力一ペッ トにおいて、 廃棄時の焼却処分の際に、 塩素、 N O x、 S 0 Xの発生のない素材が好適である。 そこで、 表層を形成してい るパイル糸及び基布材、 或いは各種不織布等の材質は、 例えば炭素、 水 素のみから構成されているォレフィ ン系の高分子材料を選択して用いる のが環境衛生上望ましい。  A material that does not generate chlorine, NO x, and S 0 X during incineration at the time of disposal in a used pet pet is preferable. Therefore, it is environmental hygiene to select and use, for example, an olefin-based polymer material composed of only carbon and hydrogen as the material of the pile yarn and the base fabric material or the various nonwoven fabrics forming the surface layer. Is desirable.
ところが従来では、 この表層の材質として、 各種繊維の価格、 風合い、 色彩、 性能等、 用途にあった種々の特徴を生かすために、 アクリル、 ポ リエステル、 ナイ ロン、 ポリ プロピレン等の合成繊維を中心にした材質 が単体で、 或いは、 天然繊維を含めた多くの材質を混用して使用されて おり、 環境衛生上の観点から材質は選択されていない。  In the past, however, synthetic materials such as acryl, polyester, nylon, and polypropylene have been used as the surface layer material in order to take advantage of various characteristics suited to the application, such as the price, texture, color, and performance of various fibers. These materials are used alone or as a mixture of many materials including natural fibers, and no materials are selected from the viewpoint of environmental health.
また、 バッキング層を構成する材質も、 表層と同様に焼却時における 有毒ガスの発生の抑制、 焼却炉の寿命、 又は再生処理の困難性等の観点 から、 ォレフィ ン系の高分子材料であるポリプロピレンやプロピレンと ェチレンとの共重合ポリマ一を炭酸カルシゥムのような無機物フイラ一 と混合し溶融練り込みしたもの、 単位分子が炭素、 水素、 酸素で構成さ れているメ夕ク リル樹脂をジォクチルフ夕レ一トのような可塑剤との組 み合わせで得られるァク リル樹脂系のゾル等でバヅキング層を形成した ものが環境上望ましい。 ところが従来では、 価格、 加工性、 性能の優位 性から主として塩化ビニール樹脂と無機物フィラー、 可塑剤との混合材 料の使用が一般的である。 In addition, the material of the backing layer is polypropylene, which is an off-line polymer material from the viewpoint of suppressing the generation of toxic gas during incineration, the life of the incinerator, and the difficulty of regeneration treatment, as with the surface layer. And propylene Ethylene copolymerized polymer mixed with inorganic filler such as calcium carbonate, melt-kneaded, and methyl resin whose unit molecule is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is environmentally desirable that the backing layer is formed of an acrylic resin-based sol or the like obtained in combination with a plasticizer as described above. In the past, however, the use of a mixture of vinyl chloride resin, inorganic fillers, and plasticizers has generally been common, because of its advantages in price, processability, and performance.
このように従来のカーぺ ヅ トは、 表層とバッキング層とが廃棄処理時 の環境衛生上望ましい材質で構成されることは極めて少ない。 しかも、 表層とバッキング層とは異なる材質で構成されることも多い。 このよう に力一ぺッ トの表層とバッキング層とが異なる材質で構成された場合に は、 環境問題に対処したケミカル再生、 或いはサ一マル再生のための熱 化学分解回収による油性化においても、 又、 機械的に粉砕しバッキング 層の樹脂を選別してマテリアル再生を行う場合においても、 表層の繊維 分と、 バッキング層の樹脂分とを分離分別しがたく、 粉砕や分別工程を 何回も通す必要がある等、 分別処理に多くの手間がかかる問題がある。 従来の一般的なカーぺッ トの構造を図 2に示している。 例えば、 図示 の基布 3に不織布や平織布等を用い、 フィ ラメン トや紡績糸等のパイル 糸 2をタフティ ングした表層 1 と、 塩化ビニールと炭酸カルシウムを主 体とするバッキング層 5で構成されるのが一般的であり、 各部で使用す る材質が異なっている。 このカーペッ トは、 その搬送性、 現場搬入性、 部分交換の容易性等に加えて、 色柄の組み合わせにおける自在性等の利 点が買われ、 オフィスや店舗向けを中心に著しく市場需要を伸ばしてい る。 しかし、 これらカーペッ トを廃棄処分する場合は、 前述の理由から 力一ペッ トを構成する材質及び構造物の分離が困難であり、 全部を埋め 立て又は焼却処分しているのが消費社会の現状である。  As described above, in the conventional carpet, it is extremely rare that the surface layer and the backing layer are made of materials that are desirable for environmental hygiene at the time of disposal. Moreover, the surface layer and the backing layer are often made of different materials. If the surface layer and backing layer of the power unit are made of different materials in this way, chemical regeneration in response to environmental problems, or oiliness by thermochemical decomposition recovery for thermal regeneration is also required. Also, when material is recycled by mechanically pulverizing and separating the resin of the backing layer to separate materials, it is difficult to separate and separate the fiber of the surface layer and the resin of the backing layer. There is a problem that the sorting process requires a lot of time, such as passing through FIG. 2 shows the structure of a conventional general cartridge. For example, a nonwoven fabric, a plain woven fabric, or the like is used for the base fabric 3 shown in the figure, and a surface layer 1 in which a pile yarn 2 such as a filament or a spun yarn is tufted, and a backing layer 5 mainly composed of vinyl chloride and calcium carbonate. They are generally constructed and the materials used in each part are different. This carpet has advantages such as its transportability, on-site transportability, ease of partial replacement, etc., as well as flexibility in the combination of colors and patterns, and has significantly increased market demand especially for offices and stores. ing. However, when disposing of these carpets, it is difficult to separate the materials and structures that make up the power pet for the above-mentioned reasons, and the current state of the consumer society is that all of them are landfilled or incinerated. It is.
このような状況の中では、 埋め立て、 焼却等の廃棄処理方法のみなら ず、 再生方法も積極的に行う必要があり、 廃棄する場合にはまず再生の 行える状態でなくてはならない。 Under these circumstances, if only disposal methods such as landfill and incineration In addition, it is necessary to actively regenerate the waste, and if it is to be discarded, it must first be in a state where it can be regenerated.
本発明は、 このような観点から開発されたもので、 使用済みのカーべ ッ トを無駄なく再利用することが可能になり、 しかも、 製造から販売、 レンタル、 回収までのシステム全てをサポートすることで、 廃棄物を極 力少なくすると共に、 消費社会での省資源化を実現することができる力 ーぺッ トの再生方法と再生用カーぺッ ト、 及び再生用力一ぺッ トのリサ ィクルシステムを提供することにある。 発明の開示  The present invention has been developed from such a point of view, and enables the reuse of a used carpet without waste, and supports all systems from manufacturing to sales, rental, and collection. In this way, waste can be reduced as much as possible, and resources can be saved in the consumer society. Recycling methods, recycling cartridges, and leasing units for recycling Vehicle system.

本発明をより詳細に説述するために、 添付の図面に従ってこれを説明 する。  The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
図 1は表層 1 とバッキング層 5 とを熱溶融性接着剤 4で接着固定した 力一ぺヅ トの側面を示した図で.ある。 同図において、 符号 2はパイル糸、 3は基布である。 Lは、 パイル糸 2をループ又はカツ ト状に基布 3にタフティ ング したものである。 このほか、 表層 1の構成は、 機械織パイル織物、 不織 布そのまま又は不織布を折り畳み基布 3に接着固定したもの等がある。 基布 3はメル トブロー不織布、 スパンボン ド不織布、 ニードルパンチ 不織布等が用いられる。 バッキング層 5は、 押し出し成形、 カレンダ成 形、 プレス成形、 ペース ト成形などにより加工された、 シート状のもの を用いる。 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a side surface of a force plate in which a surface layer 1 and a backing layer 5 are bonded and fixed with a hot-melt adhesive 4. In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a pile yarn, and 3 denotes a base fabric. L is obtained by tufting the pile yarn 2 into the base fabric 3 in a loop or cut shape. In addition, the configuration of the surface layer 1 includes a machine-woven pile woven fabric, a non-woven fabric as it is, or a non-woven fabric that is folded and adhered and fixed to the base fabric 3. As the base fabric 3, a melt blown nonwoven fabric, a spunbonded nonwoven fabric, a needle punched nonwoven fabric, or the like is used. As the backing layer 5, a sheet-like material processed by extrusion molding, calendar molding, press molding, paste molding, or the like is used.
バッキング層 5 と表層 1 とが、 同一又は同質の熱可塑性樹脂材で形成 する場合は、 パイル糸 2、 基布 3、 バッキング層 5は、 再生を行う際の 分離分別において、 完全に素材ごとに分離できない場合を考慮し、 全て 同一又は同質 熱可塑性樹脂を使用する。 同質の熱可塑性樹脂の組み合 わせ例として、 たとえば、 表層 1のパイル糸 2、 基布 3にポリプロピレ ンを使用し、 ノ ヅキング層 5にポリプロピレン系エラス トマ一を使用す るといつた組み合わせなどがある。  When the backing layer 5 and the surface layer 1 are formed of the same or the same thermoplastic resin material, the pile yarn 2, the base fabric 3, and the backing layer 5 are completely separated for each material in the separation and separation when regenerating. Use the same or the same thermoplastic resin in consideration of cases where separation is not possible. Examples of combinations of the same type of thermoplastic resin include, for example, the case where pile yarn 2 of the surface layer 1 and polypropylene are used for the base fabric 3 and polypropylene elastomer is used for the top layer 5. There is.
また、 バッキング層 5と表層 1 とを、 異質の熱可塑性樹脂材で形成す る場合、 パイル糸 2 と基布 3を、 再生を行う際の分離分別において、 完 全に素材ごとに分離できない場合を考慮し、 同一又は同質の熱可塑性樹 脂を使用する。 この熱可塑性樹脂の例として、 例えば、 ポリエステル、 ポリプロピレン等がある。 この場合、 バッキング層 5の材質は、 既存の 力一ペッ トと同様に、 パイル糸 2及び基布 3からなる表層 1 とは異質の 熱可塑性樹脂を単独、 或いは熱可塑性樹脂に可塑剤、 無機物フィ ラーな どを混入した複合材料を使用する。 この例としては、 たとえば、 熱可塑 性樹脂として塩化ビニール樹脂ゃスチレンブタジエンゴムなどを、 可塑 剤としてジォクチルフ夕レートなどを、 無機物フイ ラ一としてガラス繊 維や炭酸カルシウムなどがあり、 これらを耐熱性、 熱収縮性、 耐久性な どを考慮し、 配合したものを用いる。  Also, when the backing layer 5 and the surface layer 1 are formed of different thermoplastic resin materials, when the pile yarn 2 and the base fabric 3 cannot be completely separated for each material in separation and separation when regenerating. In consideration of the above, use the same or the same thermoplastic resin. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include, for example, polyester and polypropylene. In this case, the material of the backing layer 5 is a thermoplastic resin different from the surface layer 1 composed of the pile yarn 2 and the base fabric 3 alone, or a plasticizer or an inorganic Use composite materials mixed with fillers. Examples of this include, for example, vinyl chloride resin styrene butadiene rubber or the like as a thermoplastic resin, dioctyl phthalate as a plasticizer, and glass fiber or calcium carbonate as an inorganic filler. Considering heat shrinkage, durability, etc., use a blended one.
パイル糸 2及び基布 3からなる表層 1 と、 バッキング層 5の組み合わ せは、 既存のカーペッ トと同様に価格、 風合い、 加工性、 性能などを考 慮して選択することができる。 この組み合わせの例として、 例えば、 表 層 1のパイル糸 2、 基布 3にポリプロピレンを使用し、 バッキング層 5 に塩化ビニールと可塑剤、 ガラス繊維の混合材料を使用するといった組 み合わせなどがある。 Combination of surface layer 1 consisting of pile yarn 2 and base cloth 3 and backing layer 5 As in the case of existing carpets, the selection can be made in consideration of price, texture, workability and performance. Examples of this combination include, for example, a combination of pile yarn 2 for the surface layer 1, polypropylene for the base fabric 3, and a mixed material of vinyl chloride, plasticizer, and glass fiber for the backing layer 5. .
熱溶融性接着剤 4は、 熱を加えることにより、 溶融して接着力が低下 し、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5を分離することを目的とするもので、 ウレ タン樹脂系、 ォレフィ ン系等の熱溶融性接着剤 4を使用し、 単独、 又は 併用にて用いる。 同時に、 この熱溶融性接着剤 4は、 初期接着性、 再湿 接着性、 加熱することにより接着力が低下する度合いと時間を考慮した ものが用いられる。 熱溶融性接着剤 4として、 フィルム状、 若しくはシ ート状のものを使用する場合は、 上記に加え、 加工が行えるよう、 調整 したものが用いられる。  The hot-melt adhesive 4 is intended to separate the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 by applying heat to reduce the adhesive strength by applying heat. Use the hot-melt adhesive 4 and use it alone or in combination. At the same time, this hot-melt adhesive 4 is used in consideration of the initial adhesiveness, the rewetting adhesiveness, and the degree and time during which the adhesive force is reduced by heating. When a film-like or sheet-like adhesive is used as the hot-melt adhesive 4, in addition to the above, an adhesive adjusted so as to be processed is used.
熱溶融性接着剤 4に、 ウレタン樹脂系の熱溶融性接着剤 4を使用した 際の結果は次の通りである。 この熱溶融性接着剤 4を使用した場合、 バ ッキング層 5の接着面に塗布し、 それに含まれる溶剤を揮発させ、 且つ 接着に適する粘度となるよう 8 0 °Cの恒温室を経由する。 この場合、 熱 溶融性接着剤 4として、 フィルム状、 若しくはシート状に加工された熱 溶融性接着剤 4をバッキング層 5の上に置き、 接着に適する粘度となる よう 8 0 °Cの恒温室を経由することでも可能である。 その恒温室を経由 する時間は 3分ほどである。 この接着剤の接着強度は現在市販されてい るタイルカーぺッ 卜のバッキング層 5の剥離強度と同等の強度を有して おり、 且つ 6 0〜 1 0 0 の温水に浸漬させた場合、 表層 1 とバッキン グ層 5 を容易に剥離することができるまで接着力が低下する (この接着 剤において、 温水に浸潰させたときの時間経過による剥離強度を示した ものが図 3である) 。 加えて、 上記のように温水で熱溶融性接着剤 4が 溶融し接着力が低下した後、 再度表層 1から圧力をかけ、 その状態で力 —ぺツ トが冷却されると、 再度熱溶融性接着剤 4が硬化し、 元と同じ接 着強度を有する。 なお剥離を行う際の加熱方法としては、 温水以外にも、 例えば、 赤外線ヒー夕、 恒温室などを用いて行うことも可能である。 接着剤としてォレフィン樹脂系の熱溶融性接着剤 4を使用した際の結 果は次の通りである。 この熱溶融性接着剤 4を使用した場合、 ノ ツキン グ層 5の接着面に塗布し、 それに含まれる溶剤を揮発させ、 且つ接着に 適する粘度となるよう 1 2 0 °Cの恒温室を経由する。 その恒温室を経由 する時間は 3分ほどである。 この場合、 熱溶融性接着剤 4として、 フィ ルム状、 若しくはシ一ト状に加工された熱溶融性接着剤 4をバッキング 層 5の上に置き、 接着に適する粘度となるよう 1 2 0 °Cの恒温室を経由 することでも可能である。 このォレフィ ン樹脂系熱溶融性接着剤 4の接 着強度は上記のウレ夕ン樹脂系熱溶融性接着剤 4と比較し、 1 / 3程度 の接着強度を有しており、且つ 6 0〜 1 0 0 °Cの温水に浸潰させた場合、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5 とを容易に剥離することができるまで接着力が 低下する。 なお剥離を行う際の加熱方法としては、 温水以外にも、 例え ば、 赤外線ヒータ、 恒温室などを用いて行うことも可能である。 The results when urethane resin-based hot-melt adhesive 4 was used as hot-melt adhesive 4 are as follows. When this hot-melt adhesive 4 is used, it is applied to the bonding surface of the backing layer 5 to evaporate the solvent contained therein and pass through a constant temperature chamber at 80 ° C. so as to have a viscosity suitable for bonding. In this case, as the hot-melt adhesive 4, the hot-melt adhesive 4 processed into a film or a sheet is placed on the backing layer 5, and the temperature is kept at 80 ° C so as to have a viscosity suitable for bonding. It is also possible via. It takes about 3 minutes to travel through the constant temperature room. The adhesive strength of this adhesive is equivalent to the peel strength of the backing layer 5 of the currently commercially available tile carpet, and when immersed in warm water of 60 to 100, the surface layer 1 The adhesive strength decreases until the backing layer 5 can be easily peeled off (Fig. 3 shows the peel strength of this adhesive over time when immersed in warm water). In addition, as described above, after the hot-melt adhesive 4 is melted with warm water and the adhesive strength is reduced, pressure is applied again from the surface layer 1 and the force is applied in that state. —When the pot is cooled, the hot-melt adhesive 4 hardens again and has the same adhesive strength as the original. In addition, as a heating method at the time of performing peeling, it is also possible to use, for example, an infrared heater, a constant temperature chamber, or the like, in addition to hot water. The results when using the olefin resin-based hot-melt adhesive 4 as the adhesive are as follows. When this hot-melt adhesive 4 is used, it is applied to the bonding surface of the notching layer 5 to evaporate the solvent contained therein and pass through a constant temperature chamber at 120 ° C so as to have a viscosity suitable for bonding. I do. It takes about 3 minutes to travel through the constant temperature room. In this case, the heat-meltable adhesive 4 processed into a film or a sheet is placed on the backing layer 5 as the heat-meltable adhesive 4, and the temperature is adjusted to 120 ° so as to have a viscosity suitable for bonding. It is also possible through the constant temperature room of C. The adhesive strength of this resin-based hot-melt adhesive 4 is about 1/3 of that of the above-mentioned urethane resin-based hot-melt adhesive 4, and is 60- When immersed in hot water at 100 ° C., the adhesive strength decreases until the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 can be easily separated. In addition, as a heating method at the time of performing peeling, it is also possible to use, for example, an infrared heater, a constant temperature chamber, or the like, in addition to hot water.
熱溶融性接着剤 4としてァクリル系粘着剤を使用した際の結果は次の 通りである。 このアクリル系粘着剤を使用した場合、 表層 1及びバツキ ング層 5の接着面に塗布し、 それに含まれる溶剤を揮発させるため、 8 0 °Cの乾燥室を経由する。その乾燥室を経由する時間は 1分ほどである。 このアクリル系粘着剤の接着強度はウレタン樹脂系熱溶融性接着剤 4と 比較し、 半分程度の接着強度を有しており、 且つ 6 0〜 1 0 0 °Cの温水 に浸潰させた場合、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5 とを容易に剥離することが できるまで接着力が低下する。  The results obtained when an acryl-based pressure-sensitive adhesive was used as the hot-melt adhesive 4 are as follows. When this acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is used, it is applied to the adhesive surface of the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 and passes through a drying chamber at 80 ° C. in order to volatilize the solvent contained therein. The time to go through the drying room is about 1 minute. The adhesive strength of this acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is about half that of the urethane resin-based hot-melt adhesive 4, and when immersed in warm water at 60 to 100 ° C. However, the adhesive strength decreases until the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 can be easily separated.
上記の結果比較より、 好ましくは接着強度の大きいウレタン樹脂系熱 溶融性接着剤を使用する。  From the above result comparison, it is preferable to use a urethane resin-based hot-melt adhesive having high adhesive strength.
次に、 熱溶融性接着剤 4の物性を図 3に示す。 この物性の計測には、 現在市販されているタイルカ一ぺヅ トのバッキング層の層剥離強度を測 定し、 この強度を基準値 5とし、 これに対するウレタン樹脂系熱溶融性 接着剤 4の剥離強度を数値化したものである。 また同図では、 加熱した 際の時間経過による剥離強度の変化を表したものである。同図によると、 各水温とも時間の経過とともに指数的に剥離強度が減少し、 また水温が 上昇するに従い、 その減少が著しいことが確認できる。 Next, physical properties of the hot-melt adhesive 4 are shown in FIG. To measure this property, The peel strength of the backing layer of a currently sold tile sheet was measured, and this strength was used as the reference value 5, and the peel strength of the urethane resin-based hot-melt adhesive 4 was quantified. is there. Also, in the same figure, the change in peel strength over time when heated is shown. According to the figure, it can be confirmed that the peel strength decreases exponentially with time at each water temperature, and that the peel strength decreases significantly as the water temperature rises.
本発明で行う力一ぺッ トの再生においては、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5 を機械的に分離分別するが、 これを可能とするため表層 1 とバッキング 層 5の剥離強度は 1 . 5以下にすることが予備試験にて確認されている。 従って、 これを実現するためには 6 0 °C以上の温水中に 1 〜 3分ほど浸 漬する必要があることが図 3より確認することができる。 なお剥離を行 う際の加熱方法としては、 温水以外にも、 例えば、 赤外線ヒータ、 恒温 室などを用いて行うことも可能である。  In the regeneration of the force unit performed in the present invention, the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 are mechanically separated and separated, but in order to enable this, the peel strength of the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 is set to 1.5 or less. Has been confirmed in preliminary tests. Therefore, it can be confirmed from FIG. 3 that in order to realize this, it is necessary to immerse in warm water at 60 ° C or more for about 1 to 3 minutes. As a heating method at the time of peeling, it is also possible to use, for example, an infrared heater, a constant temperature chamber, or the like, in addition to hot water.
—方、 力一ぺッ トの使用時においては飲み物をこぼす可能性がある。 この場合例えば茶、 コ一ヒ一など湯を使用した飲み物をこぼした場合、 その温度は通常 5 0〜 6 0 °Cであるため、 低い温度で接着力の低下する 接着剤を使用すると、表層 1 とバッキング層 5が剥離を起こしてしまい、 力一ペッ トとしての使用には耐えられないことが考えられる。 ところが 本発明で使用する熱溶融性接着剤 4は、 仮に沸騰した湯をこぼした場合 においても、 直ちにカーペッ ト表層 1を拭く ことにより高温にさらされ る時間が短くなるため、 剥離することなく、 また表層 1から圧力をかけ た状態でカーぺッ トが冷却されると再度接着剤が硬化し、 表層 1 とバツ キング層 5が接着される。  On the other hand, there is a possibility of spilling drinks when using a power kit. In this case, for example, when a drink using hot water such as tea or kohi is spilled, the temperature is usually 50 to 60 ° C, so the adhesive strength decreases at low temperatures. It is conceivable that 1 and the backing layer 5 were peeled off and could not be used as a force pet. However, even if the boiling water is spilled, the hot-melt adhesive 4 used in the present invention does not peel off because the time of exposure to high temperature is reduced by wiping the carpet surface layer 1 immediately. When the cartridge is cooled under pressure from the surface layer 1, the adhesive is cured again, and the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 are bonded.
次に本発明での力一ぺッ ト再生フローを図 4に示す。 使用された力一 ペッ トは一度洗浄整備が行われ汚れの度合いにより再使用に耐えるもの はそのまま再使用し、 それ以外のものについては、 表層 1 とバッキング 層 5とを分離する。 分離の方法の詳細についてば後述する。 分離された表層 1は、 内部に残る砂、 小石等の異物の除去を容易にす るため細かく破砕される。 異物を除去したものは原糸原料となり、 紡績 工程を経てパイル糸、 不織布等に代表される基布 3 として再生され、 夕 フティ ング等の工程を経て再び表層 1 として再生される。 この工程は、 例えば、 原糸は押出し機、 タフティ ングはタフ ト機などの現存する技術 を選択して行う。 Next, FIG. 4 shows a flow chart of the power regeneration in the present invention. The used pets are once cleaned and cleaned, and those that can be reused depending on the degree of dirt are reused as they are, and for the others, the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 are separated. Details of the separation method will be described later. The separated surface layer 1 is finely crushed to facilitate removal of foreign substances such as sand and pebbles remaining inside. The material from which the foreign matter has been removed is used as a raw material for the raw material, which is recycled through a spinning process as a base fabric 3 typified by pile yarn, non-woven fabric, etc., and is recycled again as a surface layer 1 through processes such as evening footing. This process is performed by selecting an existing technology such as an extruder for the raw yarn and a tufting machine for the tufting.
上記の表層 1の再生は、 現在市販されている力一ぺッ トでは仮に本発 明の熱溶融性接着剤 4を使用し分離ができたと仮定しても、 表層 1 とバ ッキング層 5 とが異なる材質で構成されているため、 表層 1 にバヅキン グ層 5の材質が幾分混入してしまい、 原糸製造工程において細い糸とし て再生することができない。 この例として、 異種材質の場合、 溶融温度 が異なるため一体化せずこのため糸が切れてしまう、 或いは、 バヅキン グ層 5に含まれる砂状の無機物フイラ一がノズルを詰まらせる等の不都 合がある。 本発明では表層 1及びバッキング層 5を同一若しくは同質の 熱可塑性樹脂を使用した場合には、 バッキング層 5が多少混入しても表 層 1材を用いた原糸製造工程において支障無く、 糸を製造することが可 能となる。  The regeneration of the surface layer 1 described above can be performed with the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 even if it is assumed that the currently marketed power unit could be separated using the hot-melt adhesive 4 of the present invention. Are made of different materials, the material of the backing layer 5 is mixed into the surface layer 1 to some extent, and the yarn cannot be recycled as a thin yarn in the original yarn manufacturing process. For example, in the case of dissimilar materials, the melting temperature is different and they are not integrated, resulting in breakage of the yarn or the sandy inorganic filler contained in the backing layer 5 clogging the nozzle. There is a case. In the present invention, when the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 are made of the same or the same thermoplastic resin, even if the backing layer 5 is mixed to some extent, the yarn is produced without any trouble in the raw yarn manufacturing process using the surface layer 1 material. It can be manufactured.
ただし、 熱溶融性接着剤 4を用いて表層 1 とバッキング層 5を接着し た再生用カーぺッ トにおいて、 後述する方法で表層 1 とバッキング層 5 に分離したところ、 表層 1にバッキング層 5の材質が混入することは無 いことが、 試験により確認された。  However, when the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 were bonded to each other using the hot-melt adhesive 4 and separated into the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 by the method described later, the backing layer 5 The test confirmed that no material was mixed.
また、 バッキング層 5 として使用する、 表層 1 と同一又は同質の熱可 塑性樹脂材は非常に高価であることから、 現在市販されている力一ぺッ トと同様、 価格を考慮し、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5 とが異質の熱可塑性 樹脂材を用いることも可能である。  Also, the thermoplastic resin material used as the backing layer 5 which is the same or the same quality as the surface layer 1 is very expensive. It is also possible to use a different thermoplastic resin material for the backing layer 5 and the backing layer 5.
一方のバッキング層 5は、 表層 1 と異なり使用時の消耗、 汚れ等が少 なく、 バッキング層 5 としての通常の使用に耐えられるため、 そのまま 再利用される。 ただし破損などにより明らかに使用に耐えられないもの については、 バッキングに付着した砂、 小石などの異物を容易に除去す るため、 且つ、 再原料として利用しやすくするために破砕される。 異物 を除去したものはバッキング層 5の原料となり、 専用の機器を経てパッ キング層 5 として再生される。 この再生工程は、 例えば、 押出し機を使 用するなどの現在存在する技術を選択して行う。 On the other hand, the backing layer 5, unlike the surface layer 1, has less wear and dirt during use and can withstand normal use as the backing layer 5, so it is not used. Reused. However, those that cannot be used clearly due to damage, etc. will be crushed in order to easily remove foreign substances such as sand and pebbles attached to the backing, and to make it easier to use as a raw material. The material from which the foreign matter has been removed becomes the raw material of the backing layer 5 and is recycled as the packing layer 5 through dedicated equipment. This regeneration step is performed by selecting a currently existing technology, for example, using an extruder.
上記で再生された表層 1及びバッキング層 5は、 熱溶融性接着剤 4を 用い、 図 1に示す構造のように表層 1 とバッキング層 5 とを接着し、 再 度カーペッ トとして再生される。  The surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 regenerated as described above are adhered to the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 using a hot-melt adhesive 4 as shown in FIG.
上記の再生工程において行われる表層 1 とバッキング層 5 との剥離ェ 程のフローを図 5に示す。 使用後、 洗浄整備を行い使用に耐えられない と判別さた力一ぺッ トは 6 0〜 1 0 0 °Cに調整された温水中に 1〜 3分 ほど浸漬される。 これにより熱溶融性接着剤 4は溶融し接着力が低下す る。 なおこの場合の加熱方法としては、 温水以外にも、 例えば、 赤外線 ヒ一夕、 恒温室などを用いることも可能である。  FIG. 5 shows the flow of the peeling step between the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 performed in the above-mentioned regeneration step. After use, the cleaning unit is cleaned and maintained, and the force unit determined to be unusable is immersed in warm water adjusted to 60 to 100 ° C for 1 to 3 minutes. As a result, the hot-melt adhesive 4 melts and the adhesive strength is reduced. In addition, as a heating method in this case, for example, infrared light, a constant temperature room, or the like can be used in addition to the hot water.
加熱したカーぺッ トは直ちに剥離装置にかけられる。 この剥離工程は 種々あるが、 例えば速度の異なる上下 1対のローラを有し、 この速度差 により、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5 とを分離するもの等である。 これによ り分離された表層 1 とバッキング層 5 とはそれぞれ個別に回収し、 次ェ 程で再生される。  The heated cartridge is immediately put on a peeling device. Although there are various types of this peeling step, for example, there are a pair of upper and lower rollers having different speeds, and the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 are separated by the speed difference. The surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 separated by this process are individually collected and regenerated in the next step.
次に、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5の接着工程のフローを図 6に示す。 そ れそれ独自に再生された表層 1及びバッキング層 5は、 接着面を上にし た状態で接着設備にかけられる。 ここではまず、 熱溶融性接着剤 4を刷 毛塗り、 ローラ塗り、 噴霧等により表層 1及びバッキング層 5の接着面 にそれそれ付着する。 付着された熱溶融性接着剤 4は、 それに含まれる 溶剤を揮発させるため、 且つ熱溶融性接着剤 4が接着に適する粘度にな るよう 8 0〜 1 2 0 °Cに調整された乾燥室を経由する。 この乾燥室を経 由する時間は 1〜 3分程度である。 熱溶融性接着剤 4が接着に適した状 態になった後、 裏返されて接着面が下を向いた状態の表層 1をバッキン グ層 5に乗せ、 1分ほど圧着する。 このとき逆に、 表層 1に、 裏返され 接着面が下を向いた状態のバッキング層 5を乗せて同様に圧着しても問 題ない。 この後熱溶融性接着剤 4は、 常温に下がるに連れて次第に硬化 し、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5が接着される。 ただし接着強度を向上させ るためこの後 1 曰ほど放置し、 規定寸法である 1辺が 5 0 0 m mになる 様、 端部のバリを切断し、 再生用カーぺッ トが完成する。 Next, the flow of the bonding process of the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 is shown in FIG. The surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5, each of which has been independently regenerated, are applied to the bonding equipment with the bonding surface up. Here, first, the hot-melt adhesive 4 is applied to the adhesive surfaces of the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 by brush coating, roller coating, spraying, or the like. The attached hot-melt adhesive 4 is a drying chamber adjusted to 80 to 120 ° C so that the solvent contained in the hot-melt adhesive 4 can be volatilized and the hot-melt adhesive 4 has a viscosity suitable for bonding. Via. Through this drying room The time required is about 1 to 3 minutes. After the hot-melt adhesive 4 is in a state suitable for bonding, the surface layer 1, which is turned upside down and the bonding surface faces down, is placed on the backing layer 5 and pressed for about 1 minute. Conversely, there is no problem if the backing layer 5 is turned upside down and the bonding surface faces down on the surface layer 1 and pressed in the same manner. Thereafter, the hot-melt adhesive 4 gradually cures as the temperature drops to room temperature, and the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 are bonded. However, in order to improve the adhesive strength, the burrs are left for a while, and the burrs at the edges are cut so that the specified side of each side becomes 500 mm.
このとき、 熱溶融性接着剤 4 としてフィルム状、 若しくはシ一ト状に 加工された熱溶融性接着剤 4を使用した場合は、 次のようになる。  At this time, when the hot-melt adhesive 4 processed into a film or a sheet is used as the hot-melt adhesive 4, the following results are obtained.
まずそれそれ独自に再生された表層 1及びバッキング層 5のうち、 バ ッキング層 5は接着面を上にした状態で接着設備にかけられる。 ここで はまず、 フィルム状、 若しくはシート状の熱溶融性接着剤 4をバッキン グ層 5の上に配置し、 熱溶融性接着剤 4が接着に適する粘度になるよう 8 0〜 1 2 0 °Cに調整された恒温室を経由する。 この恒温室を経由する 時間は 1〜 3分程度である。 熱溶融性接着剤 4が接着に適した状態にな つた後、 接着面が下を向いた状態の表層 1をバッキング層 5に乗せ、 1 分ほど圧着する。 この後熱溶融性接着剤 4は、 常温に下がるに連れて次 第に硬化し、 表層 1 とバッキング層 5が接着される。 ただし接着強度を 向上させるためこの後 1 日ほど放置し、 規定寸法である 1辺が 5 0 0 m mになる様、 端部のバリを切断し、 再生力一ペッ トが完成する。  First of all, the backing layer 5 of the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 which are individually regenerated is applied to the bonding equipment with the bonding surface facing up. Here, first, a film-shaped or sheet-shaped hot-melt adhesive 4 is disposed on the backing layer 5, and the hot-melt adhesive 4 has a viscosity of 80 to 120 ° so that the adhesive has a viscosity suitable for bonding. Via a constant temperature room adjusted to C. It takes about 1 to 3 minutes to pass through this constant temperature room. After the hot-melt adhesive 4 is in a state suitable for bonding, the surface layer 1 with the bonding surface facing down is placed on the backing layer 5 and pressed for about 1 minute. Thereafter, the hot-melt adhesive 4 hardens one after another as the temperature drops to room temperature, and the surface layer 1 and the backing layer 5 are bonded. However, it is left for about one day after this to improve the adhesive strength, and the burr at the end is cut so that one side of the specified dimension becomes 500 mm, and a pet with one regenerative power is completed.
