DISK SCREEN FOR SEPARATING SOLID MATERIALS
DESCRIPTION
Field of application The present invention regards a disk screen for separating solid materials, according to the preamble of the main independent claim.
The present disk screen is intended to be employed, in a per se conventional manner, for separating solid materials of various type, such as: solid urban waste, inert fluvial material, products of the organic fractions of the separate waste collection, compost (for the refining thereof), recycled wood, biomass, inert material, demolition material, land drainage material and dump material, glass, plastic, scrap metal and still other materials.
The disk screen according to the invention is therefore inserted in the industrial field of treating solid residues and is advantageously intended to be installed downstream of plants for crushing and grinding the same residues.
State of the art Hereinbelow, the term "residues" refers - in an undifferentiated manner and for the sake of brevity - to any one solid material which requires being separated into its components based on size or mass.
Known on the market are numerous different apparatuses intended to be employed for separating solid residues in multiple fields of application, as well as employing different structural and functioning principles. Among such apparatuses, there are for example the following: mesh screens, screw screens, disk screens, ballistic separators, drum screens, fluid bed separators, electrostatic separators, magnetic separators and still other apparatuses.
The present invention regards a screen of disk type, for example described in the patent US
4972959.
More in detail, the disk screens usually comprise a support structure, which carries, rotatably mounted thereon, numerous equidistant shafts in succession, parallel to each other and rotating in a same rotation direction. A group of disks is axially fixed on each shaft, such disks separated from each other by a distance less than the thickness of the single disks, in order to allow interposing the disks mounted on the contiguous shafts such that each disk of any one shaft is interposed between two disks of the adjacent front and rear shafts.
In the present field of the art, one thing that marks the characteristics of the disk screen is the screening surface. The latter is defined as the area of the openings delimited between the disks and the rotating shafts and is therefore indicative of the size of the residues that are separated 1 0 by the screen, falling by gravity below the surface of the screening surface.
A screen is known from the model DE 29711724 in which the disks mounted on the rotating shafts are maintained spaced from each other by spacer rollers directly fit on the disks, so as to rotate together therewith.
The disk screens of the above-described type have in practice proven that they do not lack 1 5 drawbacks.
The main drawback lies in the fact that the presence of filiform elements between the residues to be screened, such as the presence of cables, strips, rags, plastic bags and similar materials, jeopardizes the correct operation of the screen. Such filiform elements in fact tend to be twisted around the disks and shafts of the screen and to obstruct the spaces between the disks, 20 modifying the screen area and in the end compromising the screening operations.
Consequently, repeated maintenance operations are frequently necessary for these screens, for cleaning operations, with consequent undesired stops of production.
In order to overcome such drawbacks, a disk screen is known from the patent EP
1106264 on behalf of the same Applicant that is provided with idle sleeves interposed between the disks,

The present invention regards a screen of disk type, for example described in the patent US
4972959.
More in detail, the disk screens usually comprise a support structure, which carries, rotatably mounted thereon, numerous equidistant shafts in succession, parallel to each other and rotating in a same rotation direction. A group of disks is axially fixed on each shaft, such disks separated from each other by a distance less than the thickness of the single disks, in order to allow interposing the disks mounted on the contiguous shafts such that each disk of any one shaft is interposed between two disks of the adjacent front and rear shafts.
In the present field of the art, one thing that marks the characteristics of the disk screen is the screening surface. The latter is defined as the area of the openings delimited between the disks and the rotating shafts and is therefore indicative of the size of the residues that are separated 1 0 by the screen, falling by gravity below the surface of the screening surface.
A screen is known from the model DE 29711724 in which the disks mounted on the rotating shafts are maintained spaced from each other by spacer rollers directly fit on the disks, so as to rotate together therewith.
The disk screens of the above-described type have in practice proven that they do not lack 1 5 drawbacks.
The main drawback lies in the fact that the presence of filiform elements between the residues to be screened, such as the presence of cables, strips, rags, plastic bags and similar materials, jeopardizes the correct operation of the screen. Such filiform elements in fact tend to be twisted around the disks and shafts of the screen and to obstruct the spaces between the disks, 20 modifying the screen area and in the end compromising the screening operations.
Consequently, repeated maintenance operations are frequently necessary for these screens, for cleaning operations, with consequent undesired stops of production.
In order to overcome such drawbacks, a disk screen is known from the patent EP
1106264 on behalf of the same Applicant that is provided with idle sleeves interposed between the disks,
- 2 -such sleeves having the function of preventing or at least limiting the obstruction of the screen area.
More in detail, each sleeve is axially mounted on the shaft between two disks with clearance adapted to allow it to freely idly rotate on the shaft or on a tubular body provided externally with respect to the shaft.
In operation, possible filiform elements that twist externally with respect to the idle sleeves, until they affect the disks mounted on the adjacent shafts, would not compromise the functioning of the screen nor would they cause stoppage since each sleeve, being idle with respect to the shaft on which it is mounted, would be driven in rotation without constraining 1 0 the rotation of the shafts.
Also known, from the patent application WO -A- 2011045656 on behalf of the same Applicant, is a screen of the above-described type, in which a stabilizing mass is arranged within the idle sleeves in order to prevent or at least limit, during screen operation, the sleeves from being driven in rotation by the filiform elements, facilitating the twisting of the latter.
The disk screens with idle sleeves of the above-described known type have in practice the drawback of allowing small-size material (such as sand, dust etc.) to be inserted in the clearance existing between the idle sleeves and the disks fit on the shafts, so as to create a mechanical connection between the rotating shafts and the sleeves themselves, coming to drive in rotation the sleeves to the detriment of their anti-twisting action.
Presentation of the invention In this situation, the problem underlying the present invention is therefore that of eliminating the problems of the abovementioned prior art, by providing a disk screen for separating solid materials which is entirely reliable in operation over time.

The rotating shafts 3 have longitudinal extension axes, indicated with Y, which define a preferably horizontal position, as illustrated in the drawings, but which can also assume a tilt without departing from the protective scope of the present patent.
Driving means 4 are provided that are adapted to carry the shafts 3 in rotation, in the rotation direction indicated by the arrow and marked with the reference R.
The shafts 3 all rotate in the same rotation direction R in order to move the residues between an inlet port and an outlet port in a per se entirely conventional manner, for this reason not described in more detail.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in figures 2 and 3, the driving means 4 comprise an electric motor 4a and motion transmission means 5 mechanically connected to the electric motor 4a. Such transmission means 5 in turn comprise a chain 6
- 5 -wound as a closed loop and engaging with a pinion 7 fixed to the shaft of the motor 4a and to gear wheels 70 fit on each rotating shaft 2.
The screen 1 also comprises a plurality of disks 8, which are axially mounted in succession along the rotating shafts 3 in order to receive the rotation motion therefrom.
More in detail, on each rotating shaft 3, a group of disks 8 is mounted which, for example, in accordance with the enclosed figure 2, can be formed by nine and ten disks on adjacent shafts in succession.
The disks 8 of each group of disks are mounted spaced from each other along the extension of the longitudinal axis Y of the rotating shaft 3.
The screen 1 is also provided with a plurality of sleeves 10, each of which comprising a tubular body 11 mounted externally idle on a respective rotating shaft 3 between two disks 8 in succession.
The disks 8 are instead otherwise mechanically rotatably coupled to the rotating shaft 3 in order to receive the rotation motion thereof For such purpose, the rotating shaft 3 for example has a male shaped profile 30, defined by the form of its external surface and in particular by its cross section, and the disk 8 has a female shaped profile 80 joined to the aforesaid male shaped profile 30, and in particular defined by a through hole adapted to receive the aforesaid male shaped profile 30.
More in detail, the male shaped profile 30 has a polygonal (e.g. hexagonal) cross section, and the disks 8 have a female shaped profile 80 defined by a through hole 80 with corresponding polygonal shape traversed, to size, by the rotating shaft 3 which, due to the aforesaid form engagement, is thus susceptible to rotate the group of disks 8.
Preferably, each disk 8 has the shape of a hexagonal polygonal prism having six flat faces 8C
that facilitate the advancement of the residues to be screened during the rotation of the shafts

The disks 8 of each group of disks are mounted spaced from each other along the extension of the longitudinal axis Y of the rotating shaft 3.
The screen 1 is also provided with a plurality of sleeves 10, each of which comprising a tubular body 11 mounted externally idle on a respective rotating shaft 3 between two disks 8 in succession.
The disks 8 are instead otherwise mechanically rotatably coupled to the rotating shaft 3 in order to receive the rotation motion thereof For such purpose, the rotating shaft 3 for example has a male shaped profile 30, defined by the form of its external surface and in particular by its cross section, and the disk 8 has a female shaped profile 80 joined to the aforesaid male shaped profile 30, and in particular defined by a through hole adapted to receive the aforesaid male shaped profile 30.
More in detail, the male shaped profile 30 has a polygonal (e.g. hexagonal) cross section, and the disks 8 have a female shaped profile 80 defined by a through hole 80 with corresponding polygonal shape traversed, to size, by the rotating shaft 3 which, due to the aforesaid form engagement, is thus susceptible to rotate the group of disks 8.
Preferably, each disk 8 has the shape of a hexagonal polygonal prism having six flat faces 8C
that facilitate the advancement of the residues to be screened during the rotation of the shafts
- 6 -2. In other embodiments of the present invention, the disks 8 can also have external profiles of different shape, advantageously adapted for facilitating the advancement of the residues between the inlet port and the outlet port.
Functionally, when the screen 1 is operating, the motor 4a - by means of the chain 6 wound as a ring on the pinion 7 of the motor shaft and on the gear wheels 70 of the rotating shafts 3 -rotates the rotating shafts 3 in the same direction, indicated with R, and the hexagonal profile with flat surface 8c of the disks 8 impacts with the residues, facilitating the advancement thereof via thrust along the screening plane in the advancement direction indicated with A in figure 1.
During such advancement of the residues, those with size smaller than the openings defined between the disks 8 and the sleeves 10 fall via gravity below the screening plane, obtaining the selection of the materials as a function of their size.
During screening, the presence of the sleeves 10 prevents, or at least limits, the winding of filiform residues around the rotating shafts 3. Indeed, the sleeves 10 do not follow the rotating shafts 3 during their rotation and are not integrally moved with the residues.
Each disk 8 is provided with two lateral faces 8A and 8B orthogonal to the longitudinal axis Y
of the respective rotating shafts 3.
Such faces 8A and 8B are preferably substantially parallel and oriented in opposite directions.
In accordance with the idea underlying the present invention, the lateral faces 8A and 8B of the disks 8 have a central depression 12 of circular form and each sleeve 10 in turn comprises two annular shoulders 13 fixed to the ends of the tubular body 11, such shoulders radially extended with respect to the tubular body 11 itself, and inserted, substantially to size, within the central depressions 12 of the faces 8A and 8B of the disks 8.
Advantageously, the annular shoulders 13 of each sleeve 10 are fixed to the ends of the tubular

Each disk 8 is provided with two lateral faces 8A and 8B orthogonal to the longitudinal axis Y
of the respective rotating shafts 3.
Such faces 8A and 8B are preferably substantially parallel and oriented in opposite directions.
In accordance with the idea underlying the present invention, the lateral faces 8A and 8B of the disks 8 have a central depression 12 of circular form and each sleeve 10 in turn comprises two annular shoulders 13 fixed to the ends of the tubular body 11, such shoulders radially extended with respect to the tubular body 11 itself, and inserted, substantially to size, within the central depressions 12 of the faces 8A and 8B of the disks 8.
Advantageously, the annular shoulders 13 of each sleeve 10 are fixed to the ends of the tubular
- 7 -body 11 by means of fixing means, such as welding or screw means.
While the disks 8 rotate, moved by the rotating shaft 3, the sleeves 10 with their annular shoulders 13 remain mainly stopped, given that they are idly mounted on the rotating shafts 3.
The provided object of the invention - to insert the annular shoulders 13 within the central depressions 12 - allows obtaining the necessary clearance between the two moving parts at a position in which it is improbable that there will be an insertion of undesired material that would lead to connecting the sleeve 10 to the disk 8 and to the shaft 3, i.e.
bringing in rotation also the sleeve 10, as if it were not idly mounted.
Otherwise, in the screens of the known type, the clearance between sleeve and disks is obtained on the tubular body, i.e. on the bottom of the space enclosed between the disks, and involves the undesired penetration of material with the consequent formation of a mechanical drive constraint between sleeves and disks that leads to the twisting of the filiform material.
As can be observed in the enclosed figures 4, 5 and 6, the depressions 12 are situated on a lying plane that is more retreated and within the disk 8 than the plane defined by the remaining annular portions 9 of the lateral faces 8A, 8B, to which the depressions 12 are connected by means of a sunken edge 120. Such edge 120 peripherally delimits the depressions 12, is therefore extended with an axial component within the thickness of the disk 8, and faces, with a minimum clearance, the circumferential profile 113 of the annular shoulders 13.
Consequently, the lateral areas of the annular shoulders 13, i.e. the most external faces directed towards the opposite shoulder 13 of the same sleeve 10, are embedded within the central depressions 12, i.e. they are slightly recessed in the disk 8 by a thickness S illustrated in figure 4.
In addition, advantageously, the annular shoulders 13 of each sleeve 10 are radially extended for a section 23 towards the longitudinal axis Y of the shaft 3 and are each provided with a

In addition, advantageously, the annular shoulders 13 of each sleeve 10 are radially extended for a section 23 towards the longitudinal axis Y of the shaft 3 and are each provided with a
- 8 -through hole 130 traversed by the same rotating shaft 3.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the annular shoulders 13 of each sleeve 10 are obtained with shaped metal plates, centrally provided with the through hole 130 for traversing the shaft 3.
The screen 1 also comprises preferably a plurality of spacer tubular bodies 14, each of which is externally mounted on the rotating shaft 3 and is interposed and in abutment between the lateral faces 8A and 8B of two disks 8 in succession. Therefore, the disks 8 are inserted in succession on the rotating shaft 8, alternating them with the spacer tubular bodies 14 which, being pressed between the contiguous disks, rotate together therewith.
In addition, externally with respect to each spacer tubular body 14, a corresponding sleeve 10 is externally mounted with clearance.
Therefore, the longitudinal length D of each spacer tubular body 14 defines the distance between each pair of disks 8 and is slightly greater than the longitudinal length d of each sleeve 10, in order to ensure the axial clearance of such sleeve between the pair of disks 8, between which it is comprised.
In such a manner, each sleeve 10 can be rotatably moved in a free manner around the corresponding spacer tubular body 14 on which it is mounted.
In order to allow an entirely idle rotation of the sleeves 10 on the spacer tubular bodies 14, a radial clearance G is provided therebetween, illustrated as an example in figure 4.
The finding thus conceived therefore attains the pre-established objects. Of course, it can also assume, in the practical attainment thereof, shapes and configurations that are different from that illustrated above, without departing from the present protective scope.
In addition, all details can be substituted with technically equivalent elements, and the size, shapes and materials used can be of any type in accordance with requirements.
