Description

Resource recovery facility configuration system

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for configuring a resource recovery facility, and more specifically, to a system for configuring a resource recovery facility by arranging waste classification equipment devices according to the attributes of the resource recovery facility.

[0002] This patent application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0185705 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on December 13, 2024, and the disclosures of said patent application are incorporated herein by reference.

[0003] The amount of waste generated from households, factories, and other sources is rapidly increasing. To create a sustainable society, technologies are being researched and developed to recover reusable resources from this waste.

[0004] A waste sorting process is necessary to recover reusable resources. While human labor has traditionally been involved in manually sorting waste, waste sorting devices that eliminate the need for human intervention are being introduced recently.

[0005] The waste sorting device can identify waste using artificial intelligence and sort waste using various sorting means, such as robotic arms.

[0006] A Material Recovery Facility is a facility that separates, sorts, and recovers useful resources from waste to process them for recycling. Recently, there have been attempts to construct large-scale resource recovery facilities by connecting multiple waste sorting units. However, operational types, types of incoming waste, and target processing capacities often vary significantly among resource recovery facilities.

[0007] Therefore, a system is needed that allows waste sorting devices to be easily configured and deployed according to the attributes of the resource recovery facility and required conditions.

[0008] To solve the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a resource recovery facility configuration system capable of configuring an efficient resource recovery facility by reflecting the attributes required for a new resource recovery facility.

[0009] A resource recovery facility configuration system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: an equipment configuration unit that analyzes attribute information regarding the attributes of an existing resource recovery facility and configures a waste classification equipment group to be installed in the new resource recovery facility according to the attributes required of the new resource recovery facility; and a placement evaluation unit that determines the arrangement of the waste classification equipment group and evaluates the operational performance capability of the new resource recovery facility according to the arrangement of the waste classification equipment group.

[0010] A resource recovery facility configuration system according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an attribute database storing attribute information of one or more existing resource recovery facilities.

[0011] The above attribute information may include at least one of the geographical location of the resource recovery facility, the size and shape of the physical space, the type of operation, the type and size of waste brought into the resource recovery facility, the type and ratio of materials, the source and amount of waste brought in, the type and degree of contamination of the waste, the throughput of the resource recovery facility, and the type and quality of the product.

[0012] The above attribute database can be linked with one or more other public databases that store attribute information of the existing resource recovery facility, thereby enabling the updating of the attribute information.

[0013] The above facility configuration unit receives attribute information from the attribute database and analyzes the attribute information to select one or more existing resource recovery facilities that have attributes similar to or greater than the attributes required for the new resource recovery facility and pre-set criteria.

[0014] The above facility configuration can divide the space where the new resource recovery facility is to be configured into blocks based on the attribute information of the selected existing resource recovery facility.

[0015] The above facility configuration can combine one or more waste classification facilities to form one or more waste classification facility groups to be installed in each block of the new resource recovery facility.

[0016] The above waste sorting facility may include a waste sorting device in which each module is combined according to the attributes of the resource recovery facility.

[0017] The waste sorting device comprises one or more transport modules that move waste along a sorting work path; and one or more sorting work modules that sort target objects to be sorted among the waste moved by the transport modules, and the transport modules and the sorting work modules may be combined according to a work area unit set by considering at least one of the operation type and target throughput of the new resource recovery facility.

[0018] The above work area unit may be configured to include at least two robot arms when the operation type of the new resource recovery facility is a primary facility that processes unseparated waste, and may be configured to include at least one robot arm when it is a secondary facility that processes separated waste.

[0019] The above-mentioned batch evaluation unit derives the throughput and work quality for each group of waste sorting facilities arranged by block, and can detect sections where waste transport stagnation occurs for each block.

[0020] According to the present invention as described above, the following effects are achieved.

[0021] The present invention enables the configuration of an efficient and highly productive resource recovery facility by reflecting the attributes required for a new resource recovery facility.

[0022] The present invention can continuously reflect various attributes of a resource recovery facility by updating a database linked to attribute information of the resource recovery facility.

[0023] The present invention can save time and costs required to construct a new resource recovery facility by constructing the new resource recovery facility using a modular waste sorting device.

[0035] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention designed to solve the above problems will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0036] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the schematic configuration of a resource recovery facility according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 1, a resource recovery facility according to an embodiment of the present invention can recover reusable resources from waste through pretreatment, classification, and posttreatment operations.

[0038] Preprocessing work can be performed in a preprocessing work block (100). Preprocessing work may be a process of separating objects that are not subject to classification from among the waste.

[0039] Specifically, waste brought into a resource recovery facility may consist of a mixture of various types. The facility does not classify all incoming waste by type, but rather separates only the waste that can be reused as resources. Therefore, unnecessary types of waste can be separated in advance to facilitate the sorting process.

[0040] Pretreatment operations can be performed by various types of pretreatment equipment depending on the items to be separated. For example, a ballistic separator (111) may be used to separate small waste that cannot be reused. Waste that is lightweight, such as vinyl or film, may be separated using a wind separator (112). Metal waste, such as wire, may be separated using a magnetic separator (113).

[0041] In addition to the types described above, other types of pretreatment equipment may be used and are not limited to them.

[0042] The sorting operation can be performed in a sorting operation block (200). The sorting operation may be a process of separating target objects to be sorted from among the waste.

[0043] Sorting operations can be performed by a waste sorting device utilizing robots. By arranging waste sorting devices in succession, efficient and fast sorting operations can be carried out.

[0044] For example, a first waste sorting device (211a), a second waste sorting device (211b), and a third waste sorting device (211c) may be arranged in succession. As waste passes through the first waste sorting device (211a), the second waste sorting device (211b), and the third waste sorting device (211c) in sequence, the target object may be sorted by a robot.

[0045] Post-processing work can be performed in a post-processing work block (300). Post-processing work may be a task to process waste discharged from pre-processing work and target objects collected as a result of sorting work.

[0046] Specifically, post-processing operations may include crushing waste and target objects, washing target objects, and compressing target objects.

[0047] Post-processing operations can be performed by various types of post-processing equipment. For example, a wet washer (311) may be used to wash the collected object. A shredder (312) may be used to shred the washed object. A compressor (313) may be used to compress the shredded object.

[0048] In addition to the types described above, other types of post-treatment equipment may be used and are not limited to them.

[0049] Depending on the operation type of the resource recovery facility, either the pretreatment or posttreatment work may be omitted, or only the classification work may be performed.

[0050] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a resource recovery facility configuration system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 2, a resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an attribute database (1100), an equipment configuration unit (1200), and a batch evaluation unit (1300).

[0052] The attribute database (1100) can store attribute information regarding the attributes of one or more existing resource recovery facilities. The attributes of the resource recovery facilities may be various factors that influence the configuration and operation of the resource recovery facilities.

[0053] The attribute information may include at least one of the geographical location of the resource recovery facility, the size and shape of the physical space, the type of operation, the type and size of waste brought into the resource recovery facility, the type and ratio of materials, the source and amount of waste brought in, the type and degree of contamination of the waste, the throughput of the resource recovery facility, and the type and quality of the product.

[0054] Specifically, among the attribute information, the geographical location of the resource recovery facility can affect the type and amount of waste brought into the resource recovery facility. For example, resource recovery facilities near large cities mainly receive household waste, while resource recovery facilities near industrial complexes mainly receive industrial waste.

[0055] Among the attribute information, the size and shape of the physical space of the resource recovery facility may affect the scale and throughput of the waste sorting facility to be installed in the resource recovery facility. For example, if the resource recovery facility is a two-story building, waste sorting equipment may be installed with the same layout on the first and second floors, or waste sorting equipment may be installed with a different layout on each floor.

[0056] Among the attribute information, the operational type of the resource recovery facility can influence the configuration of the waste sorting device to be installed in the resource recovery facility. The operational types of resource recovery facilities can be broadly divided into primary facilities that process unseparated waste and secondary facilities that process separated waste. For example, if the resource recovery facility is a primary facility, it is necessary to configure multiple waste sorting equipment in a complex manner because the volume of waste processed is large and the types of waste are diverse. If the resource recovery facility is a secondary facility, the types of waste are relatively small and the quality is consistent, so the waste sorting equipment can be configured more simply compared to a primary facility.

[0057] In addition to the attribute information described above, other attribute information regarding resource recovery facilities may be added, and there are no restrictions on the types or contents.

[0058] The attribute database (1100) according to an embodiment of the present invention can update attribute information by being linked with one or more other public databases in which attribute information of existing resource recovery facilities is stored.

[0059] Specifically, attribute information stored in the attribute database (1100) can be updated by the processor included in the present invention. Other linked public databases may be public databases of a different type from the attribute database of the present invention. That is, any database that has at least some attribute information regarding the attributes of an existing resource recovery facility can be linked to the attribute database (1100) of the present invention without limitation.

[0060] The facility configuration unit (1200) according to an embodiment of the present invention can analyze attribute information regarding the attributes of an existing resource recovery facility and configure a waste classification facility group to be installed in a new resource recovery facility according to the attributes required for the new resource recovery facility.

[0061] A waste sorting facility group may be a collection of multiple waste sorting facilities of various types.

[0062] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the pretreatment work waste sorting equipment group (110) to be installed in the pretreatment work block (100) may be composed of a ballistic separator (111), a wind separator (112), and a magnetic separator (113).

[0063] The waste sorting equipment group (210) to be installed in the sorting work block (200) may be composed of a plurality of waste sorting devices (211a, 211b, 211c). In particular, the waste sorting equipment group (210) may be composed of one or more units according to the attributes required for the new resource recovery facility. A first waste sorting equipment group (210a), a second waste sorting equipment group (210b), and a third waste sorting equipment group (210c) of the same configuration may be repeated and installed in the sorting work block (200).

[0064] The post-processing waste sorting equipment group (310) to be installed in the post-processing work block (300) may consist of a wet washer (311), a crusher (312), and a compressor (313).

[0065] More specifically, the facility configuration unit (1200) receives attribute information from the attribute database (1100) and analyzes the attribute information to select one or more existing resource recovery facilities that have attributes similar to the attributes required for the new resource recovery facility and attributes that are greater than or equal to a preset standard.

[0066] Pre-set criteria may vary for each attribute. For example, in the case of operation types, criteria may be established by classifying them into primary facilities, secondary facilities, and other facilities, such that if they belong to the same classification, they are considered to have similar attributes. In the case of waste types brought into the resource recovery facility, criteria may be established by considering them to have similar attributes if the waste types and proportions are each 80% or more identical.

[0067] The facility configuration unit (1200) may select existing resource recovery facilities having similar attributes for each attribute, or may select existing resource recovery facilities having two or more similar attributes. The selection method is not limited and can be appropriately changed.

[0068] The facility configuration unit (1200) can divide the space where the new resource recovery facility will be configured into blocks based on the attribute information of the selected existing resource recovery facility.

[0069] The space where the new resource recovery facility is to be configured can be divided into a pre-processing work block (100), a classification work block (200), and a post-processing work block (300), and can be divided into only one or more of the pre-processing work block (100), the classification work block (200), and the post-processing work block (300).

[0070] Specifically, the block divisions of the selected existing resource recovery facility are simulated to form blocks, although some parts may be modified. For example, if the selected resource recovery facility A is 90% or more similar in physical space and size to the new resource recovery facility, the blocks of the new resource recovery facility can be divided by simulating the block divisions of resource recovery facility A.

[0071] The facility configuration unit (1200) can combine one or more waste classification facilities to form one or more waste classification facility groups to be installed in each block of the new resource recovery facility.

[0072] Specifically, one or more waste classification equipment groups to be installed in each block of the new resource recovery facility can be configured by simulating the waste classification equipment groups by block of the selected existing resource recovery facility. For example, if the blocks of the new resource recovery facility are divided by simulating the block division of the selected resource recovery facility A, the waste classification equipment groups of the new resource recovery facility can be configured by simulating the waste classification equipment groups by block of resource recovery facility A.

[0073] Alternatively, the waste classification equipment group of the new resource recovery facility may be configured by simulating the block-by-block waste classification equipment group of Resource Recovery Facility A, but changing only some of the waste classification equipment.

[0074] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the process of configuring a resource recovery facility according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 3, a waste classification facility according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a waste classification device (2000) in which each module is combined according to the attributes of a new resource recovery facility.

[0076] The waste sorting device (2000) may be a device that classifies target objects among waste using a robot. The waste sorting device (2000) is composed of modules as its main components, so that they can be produced in advance at a factory and then combined into an optimal form to suit the attributes of a new resource recovery facility.

[0077] A waste sorting device (2000) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include one or more transfer modules (2100), sorting work modules (2200), and control modules (2300).

[0078] The transfer module (2100) can move waste along a sorting path. The transfer module (2100) may include one or more conveyor units. The transfer module (2100) including the conveyor units can move waste by driving the conveyor units.

[0079] The control module (2300) can control the transfer module (2100) and the sorting module (2200). The control module (2300) can be electrically and logically connected to the transfer module (2100) and the sorting module (2200) to transmit and receive data and signals.

[0080] The control module (2300) may include memory and a processor. A learned artificial intelligence model may be stored in the memory included in the control module (2300). The artificial intelligence module is pre-trained with waste images and can identify waste fed into the waste sorting device (2000).

[0081] The sorting operation module (2200) can classify target objects to be classified among the waste moved by the transfer module (2100). Waste that meets the preset waste classification criteria may be the target objects. Waste that does not meet the waste classification criteria may be non-target objects and may be discharged without being classified.

[0082] FIG. 4 is a diagram to help understand the process of setting a work area unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0083] The transfer module (2100) and the sorting work module (2200) can be combined according to a work area unit set by considering at least one of the operation type and target throughput of the new resource recovery facility.

[0084] The work area unit may be a minimum size work area in which the waste sorting device (2000) performs sorting work. As shown in FIG. 4, the work area unit may be defined as (width * length * height).

[0085] For example, a waste sorting device (2000) for sorting medium-to-large waste may have a working area unit of 1m * 1m * 1.5m. A waste sorting device (2000) for sorting small waste may have a working area unit of 1m * 0.75m * 1m.

[0086] The work area unit according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include at least two robot arms when the operation type of the new resource recovery facility is a primary facility that processes waste that has not been separated. When the operation type of the new resource recovery facility is a secondary facility that processes waste that has been separated, it may be configured to include at least one robot arm.

[0087] Specifically, the work area unit can be set based on the operating type among the attributes of the resource recovery facility. In a primary type of resource recovery facility that processes unseparated waste, at least two different grippers may be required. Therefore, the work area unit can be set so that two or more robot arms can be installed.

[0088] In a secondary type of resource recovery facility that processes separated waste, sorting operations can be performed using a single type of gripper. In this case, the unit of the work area can be configured so that a single robot arm can be installed.

[0089] In addition, if the target throughput of a new resource recovery facility exceeds a certain standard, multiple robotic arms need to be installed. Therefore, the unit of the work area can be configured to allow for the installation of two or more robotic arms.

[0090] For example, the work area unit can be set by reflecting the attributes of the new resource recovery facility, such as the operation type being a primary type and the target throughput being 200 tons per day. Considering these attributes, since at least two robot arms must be installed for each waste sorting device (2000), the width of the work area unit may be 1m and the length may be 1.5m. If the incoming waste is small, the height of the work area unit may be 1m. That is, the waste sorting device (2000) to be installed in the new resource recovery facility, which is a primary type, has a target throughput of 100 tons or more per day, and receives small waste, can be assembled to fit a work area unit of 1m * 1.5m * 1m.

[0091] As another example, the work area unit can be set by reflecting the attributes of the new resource recovery facility, such that the operation type is a secondary type and the target processing volume is 3 tons per day. Considering these attributes, the width of the work area unit may be 1m and the length may be 0.75m so that one robot arm can be installed in the waste sorting device (2000). If the incoming waste is small, the height of the work area unit may be 1m. That is, the waste sorting device (2000) to be installed in the new resource recovery facility, which receives small waste of a secondary type and a target processing volume of 10 tons or less per day, can be assembled to fit a work area unit of 1m * 0.75m * 1m.

[0092] The transfer module (2100), the sorting module (2200), and the control module (2300) can be combined with detailed components according to the unit of the work area. When combining the waste sorting device (2000) composed of each module in this way, a more effective resource recovery facility can be configured by referring to the unit of the work area that reflects the attributes of the resource recovery facility.

[0093] A batch evaluation unit (1300) according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine the arrangement of a waste classification facility group. The batch evaluation unit (1300) can evaluate the operational performance of a new resource recovery facility based on the arrangement of the waste classification facility group.

[0094] Specifically, the placement evaluation unit (1300) can determine the placement of waste classification facility groups through computer simulation and evaluate the operational performance of new resource recovery facilities. Data required to perform computer simulation can be received from an attribute database and can also be received from the outside through an interface included in the present invention.

[0095] The batch evaluation unit (1300) can evaluate the work performance of the new resource recovery facility by deriving the throughput and work quality for each waste classification facility group arranged by block.

[0096] Specifically, the batch evaluation unit (1300) can calculate the processing volume of the pre-processing waste sorting facility group (110), the processing volume of the sorting work waste sorting facility group (210), and the processing volume of the post-processing work waste sorting facility group (310).

[0097] If the processing volume of each waste classification facility group does not meet the target processing volume, the batch evaluation unit (1300) may request the facility configuration unit (1200) to reconfigure the waste classification facility group. At the same time, the batch evaluation unit (1300) may output the processing volume of each waste classification facility group through the interface included in the present invention.

[0098] The batch evaluation unit (1300) can evaluate the quality of work by evaluating the classification success rate of each waste classification equipment group, the purity of the results, etc.

[0099] If the work quality of each waste classification facility group does not meet the target work quality, the batch evaluation unit (1300) may request the facility configuration unit (1200) to reconfigure the waste classification facility group. At the same time, the batch evaluation unit (1300) may output the work quality of each waste classification facility group through the interface included in the present invention.

[0100] The batch evaluation unit (1300) can detect sections where waste transfer congestion occurs by block. The batch evaluation unit (1300) receives attribute information regarding sections where transfer congestion occurs in existing resource recovery facilities from an attribute database, and can detect that transfer congestion occurs in new resource recovery facilities if the corresponding section of the existing resource recovery facility is similar to the section of the new resource recovery facility by more than a predetermined standard.

[0101] The facility configuration unit (1200) according to an embodiment of the present invention may receive a request from the placement evaluation unit (1300) to reconfigure and rearrange the waste classification facility group and perform the same.

[0102] The facility configuration unit (1200) can change the process parameters of the waste classification facility group by block or change the combination of the waste classification facility group by block. In addition, the facility configuration unit (1200) can change the physical layout of the waste classification facility group by block.

[0103] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the process of configuring a resource recovery facility according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0104] Referring to FIG. 5, a resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention can configure a new resource recovery facility through the following process.

[0105] The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) can receive attribute information of an existing resource recovery facility from an attribute database (1100) (S100). The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) can analyze the received attribute information and select an existing resource recovery facility that has attributes similar to those of the new resource recovery facility (S200). The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) can divide the space where the new resource recovery facility is to be configured into blocks (S300). The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) can configure a waste sorting equipment group to be installed in each block of the new resource recovery facility (S400). The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) can arrange the configured waste sorting equipment group by block (S500). The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) can evaluate the work performance capability by deriving the throughput, work quality, and occurrence of transfer congestion of the arranged waste sorting equipment group (S600). The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) can reconfigure and rearrange waste classification equipment groups according to the evaluated work performance capabilities (S700).

[0106] The resource recovery facility configuration system (1000) of the present invention can configure the resource recovery facility more efficiently by reflecting the attributes required for a new resource recovery facility through the configuration described above.

[0107] The use of all examples or exemplary terms (e.g., etc.) in the present invention is merely for the purpose of describing the invention in detail, and the scope of the invention is not limited by such examples or exemplary terms unless limited by the claims. Furthermore, a person skilled in the art will understand that various modifications, combinations, and changes may be made according to design conditions and factors within the scope of the claims or equivalents to which they are added.
