Beschreibung von AusführungsbeispielenDescription of exemplary embodiments

Eine in Fig. 1 dargestellte Aushubmaschine 10 weist zwei konzentrisch und in Abstand zu einander angeordnete Flügelräder 12, 14 auf. Zwischen den um eine gemeinsame Drehachse y rotierbaren Flügelrädern 12, 14 ist ein Längsförderer mit einem endlos umlaufenden Förderband 18 mit einer in einem rechten Winkel zur Drehachse y liegenden, im allgemeinen der Arbeitsrichtung A der Aushubmaschine 10 entsprechenden Förderrichtung x angeordnet. Die Flügelräder 12, 14 und das Förderband 18 sind auf einem Maschinenrahmen 16 montiert.An in Fig. 1 shown excavating machine 10 has two concentric and spaced apart impellers 12, 14. Between the rotatable about a common axis of rotation y impellers 12, 14, a longitudinal conveyor is arranged with an endlessly circulating conveyor belt 18 with a lying at a right angle to the axis of rotation y, generally the working direction A of the excavating machine 10 corresponding conveying direction x. The impellers 12, 14 and the conveyor belt 18 are mounted on a machine frame 16.

Jedes Flügelrad 12, 14 weist eine zentrale, rotationssymmetrisch zur Drehachse y angeordnete und mit dieser einen Winkel von etwa 45° einschliessende konische Leitfläche 20 auf. Von der konischen Leitfläche 20 ragen gleichmässig über den Umfang verteilte Leitflügel 22 radial nach aussen ab. Die Projektion der Leitflügel 22 in Radialrichtung schneidet dabei die Drehachse y in einem spitzen Winkel von etwa 45°, d.h., die Fläche der Leitflügel 22 ist gegenüber einer von der Drehachse y ausgehenden Radialebene um einen Winkel von etwa 45° verdreht. Die Leitflügel 22 erstrecken sich über die gesamte Breite der konischen Leitfläche 20 und sind durch zwei parallel zueinander und rechtwinklig zur Drehachse y stehende seitliche Flügelränder 24, 26 begrenzt. Bezüglich eines senkrecht zu den seitlichen Rändern 24, 26 verlaufenden Querschnitts sind die Leitflügel 22 gekrümmt ausgebildet.Each impeller 12, 14 has a central, rotationally symmetrical to the rotation axis y arranged and with this an angle of about 45 ° enclosing conical guide surface 20. From the conical guide surface 20 extend uniformly distributed over the circumference guide vanes 22 radially outward. The projection of the guide vanes 22 in the radial direction thereby intersects the axis of rotation y at an acute angle of about 45 °, that is, the surface of the guide vanes 22 is rotated relative to a radian axis of the y outgoing radial plane by an angle of about 45 °. The guide vanes 22 extend over the entire width of the conical guide surface 20 and are bounded by two side wing edges 24, 26 which are parallel to one another and perpendicular to the axis of rotation y. With respect to a perpendicular to the lateral edges 24, 26 extending cross section, the guide vanes 22 are formed curved.

Die konische Leitfläche 20 verjüngt sich von der Aussenseite jedes Flügelrades 12, 14 gegen die dem Förderband 18 benachbart liegende Innenseite.The conical guide surface 20 tapers from the outside of each impeller 12, 14 against the conveyor belt 18 adjacent inner side.

Die Leitflügel 22 sind gegenüber der Drehachse y so um den Winkel verdreht, dass, in Laufrichtung u gesehen, der äussere seitliche Rand 26 dem inneren seitlichen Rand 24 vorläuft. Die gekrümmte Fläche der Leitflügel 22 weist dabei mit der konkaven Krümmung in die Drehrichtung u. Vom äusseren seitlichen Rand der Leitflügel 22 ragen Flügelzähne 28 im Wesentlichen tangential von der gekrümmten Fläche der Leitflügel 22 nach aussen ab.The guide vanes 22 are rotated relative to the axis of rotation y by the angle that, seen in the running direction u, the outer side edge 26 of the inner lateral edge 24 runs. The curved surface of the guide vanes 22 has in this case with the concave curvature u in the direction of rotation. From the outer lateral edge of the guide vanes 22, vane teeth 28 project substantially tangentially from the curved surface of the vane 22 to the outside.

Innenseitig ist jedes Flügelrad 12, 14 von einem feststehenden Leitschild 30 mit kreisförmigem Umfangsrand 32 bis auf einen oberhalb des Förderbandes 18 liegenden Bereich abgedeckt. Das Leitschild 30 überragt das Förderband 18 mit einer parallel zum Förderband 18 liegenden Kante 31 um ein Mass e. Der Spalt zwischen dem Leitschild 30 und dem Förderband 18 im Bereich der Kante 31 ist von einem streifenförmigen, von der Kante 31 zum tieferliegenden Förderband 18 verlaufenden Abdeckblech 33 überdeckt. In einem weiteren Bereich zwischen etwa dem tiefsten Punkt S des Flügelrades 12, 14 und einem Punkt T oberhalb des Förderbandes 18 ragt vom Umfangsrand 32 des Leitschildes 30 eine Flügelabdeckung 34 in Form eines etwa der Breite der Leitflügel 22 entsprechenden Bandes im wesentlichen radial nach aussen ab.On the inside, each impeller 12, 14 is covered by a stationary guide plate 30 with a circular peripheral edge 32 except for an area lying above the conveyor belt 18. The guide plate 30 projects beyond the conveyor belt 18 with a parallel to the conveyor belt 18 edge 31 by a Mass e. The gap between the guide plate 30 and the conveyor belt 18 in the region of the edge 31 is covered by a strip-shaped, extending from the edge 31 to the underlying conveyor belt 18 cover plate 33. In another area between about the lowest point S of the impeller 12, 14 and a point T above the conveyor belt 18 protrudes from the peripheral edge 32 of the guide plate 30, a wing cover 34 in the form of a substantially the width of the guide vanes 22 corresponding band substantially radially outward.

Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, leiten und pressen die Leitflügel 22 Aushubmaterial 41 gegen das Leitschild 30. Der durch das Leitschild 30 und die Flügelabdeckung 34 gebildete Führungskanal verhindert das Ausfliessen des Aushubmaterials im aufsteigenden Teil des Flügelrades 12, 14. Im Bereich dieser Flügelabdeckung 34 bildet sich zwischen zwei aufeinander folgenden Leitflügeln 22 eine durch das Leitschild und die Flügelabdeckung 34 abgegrenzte, nur gegen die Aussenseite des Flügelrades 12, 14 offene Kammer 36, die sich in Drehrichtung des Flügelrades 12, 14 bewegt und am Ende des Leitschildes 30 oberhalb des Förderbandes 18 sich öffnet. Die konische Leitfläche 20 der sich oberhalb des Förderbandes 18 befindenden Kammer 36 bildet für das Aushubmaterial 41 eine Ablauffläche auf das Förderband 18, wobei der innere Umfangsrand der konischen Leitfläche 20 an den seitlichen Rand des Förderbandes 18 angrenzt. Zusätzlich erfolgt eine erzwungene Verschiebung des Aushubmaterials 41 in Richtung auf das Förderband 18 durch den zur Förderrichtung x quer stehenden Leitflügel 22.How out Fig. 3 The guiding channel formed by the guide plate 30 and the wing cover 34 prevents the outflow material from flowing out in the ascending part of the impeller 12, 14. In the area of this wing cover 34 forms between two following guide vanes 22 a delimited by the guide plate and the wing cover 34, only against the outside of the impeller 12, 14 open chamber 36, which moves in the direction of rotation of the impeller 12, 14 and at the end of the guide plate 30 above the conveyor belt 18 opens. The conical guide surface 20 of the chamber 36 located above the conveyor belt 18 forms for the excavated material 41 a drainage surface on the conveyor belt 18, wherein the inner peripheral edge of the conical guide surface 20 adjacent to the lateral edge of the conveyor belt 18. In addition, there is a forced displacement of the excavated material 41 in the direction of the conveyor belt 18 through the transverse to the conveying direction x guide vanes 22nd

Die beiden schiefen Ebenen, d.h., die Ausrichtung der Leitflügel 22 und der Anzug der konischen Leitfläche 20, unterstützen gemeinsam den Materialfluss, so dass auch sperriges oder zähfliessendes Material wie Lehm begünstigt ausfliessen kann.The two inclined planes, that is, the orientation of the guide vanes 22 and the conical guide surface 20 suit, jointly support the flow of material, so that even bulky or viscous material such as loam can flow out favored.

Die Leitflügel 22 können, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, an ihrem freien radialen Ende einen im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur radialen Richtung der Leitflügel 22 in Laufrichtung u des Flügelrades 12, 14 abragendes Flügelteil 38 aufweisen und sind auf diese Weise geschlossen. Bei der Ausbildung der Leitflügel 22 mit einem endständig abragenden Flügelteil 38 kann auf die Flügelabdeckung 34 verzichtet werden.The guide vanes 22 can, as in Fig. 2 shown at its free radial end a substantially perpendicular to Radial direction of the guide vanes 22 in the direction of the vane wheel 12, 14 have projecting wing portion 38 and are closed in this way. In the formation of the guide vanes 22 with a terminal projecting wing part 38 can be dispensed with the wing cover 34.

Jedes Flügelrad 12, 14 ist mit einem Motor 40 zur Erzeugung der Drehbewegung um die Drehachse y ausgestattet. Die beiden Motoren 40 können unabhängig von einander gesteuert werden.Each impeller 12, 14 is equipped with a motor 40 for generating the rotational movement about the rotation axis y. The two motors 40 can be controlled independently of each other.

Bei besonderer Schichtung eines Bodenmaterials 41 mit beispielsweise einem Untergrund aus Lehm 42 und einer darüber liegenden Schicht aus Schotter 44 kann, wie aus Fig. 6 - 11 ersichtlich, durch eine Änderung der Drehrichtung u der Flügelräder 12, 14 bei gleichzeitigem Tauschen der beiden Flügelräder 12, 14 die Befüllung der Leitflügel 22 der Schichtung des Aushubmaterials angepasst werden.In particular stratification of a soil material 41 with, for example, a substrate of clay 42 and an overlying layer of ballast 44 can, as from Fig. 6 - 11 can be adjusted by changing the direction of rotation u of the vanes 12, 14 with simultaneous exchange of the two impellers 12, 14, the filling of the guide vanes 22 of the stratification of the excavated material.

Mit der dargestellten Drehrichtung besteht, wie in den Fig. 6 - 8 gezeigt, die Gefahr, dass der zähfliessende Lehm 42 nur verzögert ausfliesst. Die Entleerungszeit, bzw. die Zeit, während der der Leitflügel 22 am offenen Leitschild 30 vorbeifährt, reicht deshalb für eine vollständiges Ausfliessen des Lehms 42 nicht aus. Die an den Leitflügeln 22 haftende Restlehmschicht wird immer dicker, verkleinert das Füllvolumen und reduziert die Aushubleistung.With the illustrated direction of rotation, as in the Fig. 6-8 shown, the risk that the viscous clay 42 flows only delayed. The emptying time, or the time during which the guide vanes 22 passes by the open guide plate 30, is therefore not sufficient for a complete outflow of the clay 42. The adhering to the guide vanes 22 residual clay layer is getting thicker, reduces the filling volume and reduces the excavation.

Bei der in den Fig. 9 - 11 gezeigten Anordnung mit umgekehrter Drehrichtung begünstigen die schweren, lockeren Schottersteine 44 den Fluss des Lehms 42 und haben zusätzlich eine Reinigungswirkung auf die Flügelräder 12, 14. Die Drehrichtung u im Gegenuhrzeigersinn ist also bei solchen Verhältnissen angezeigt.In the in the Fig. 9 - 11 shown arrangement with the reverse direction of rotation favor the heavy, loose ballast stones 44 the flow of clay 42 and also have a cleaning effect on the impellers 12, 14. The direction of rotation u counterclockwise is so in such Proportions.

Der durch die Flügelabdeckung 34 gebildete Führungskanal gibt die Leitflügel 22 oberhalb des Förderbandes 18 frei, was folgende Vorteile hat:

  • Sperriges Material wie Holz, Seile, Kabel usw., das sich in den Leitflügeln 22 verfangen hat, kann nach dem Stoppen des Flügelrades 12, 14 problemlos entfernt werden.
  • Die Leitflügel 22 können automatisch bei laufendem Flügelrad 12, 14 oder manuell bei stehendem Flügelrad 12, 14 beispielsweise von hartnäckig klebrigem Material wie Lehm, Seekreide usw. gereinigt werden
The guide channel formed by the wing cover 34 releases the guide vanes 22 above the conveyor belt 18, which has the following advantages:
  • Bulky material such as wood, ropes, cables, etc., which has caught in the guide vanes 22 can be easily removed after stopping the impeller 12, 14.
  • The guide vanes 22 can automatically be cleaned with the impeller 12, 14 or manually with the impeller 12, 14, for example, from persistent sticky material such as clay, sea chalk, etc.

Das Flügelrad 12, 14 ist dank seiner kontinuierlichen Drehbewegung eine sehr effiziente Fördereinrichtung für gemischtes Aushubgut wie z.B. Sand, Schotter, Steine usw.The impeller 12, 14 is, thanks to its continuous rotary motion, a very efficient conveyor for mixed excavated material such as e.g. Sand, gravel, stones, etc.

Weil es keine permanente geschlossene Hohlräume gibt, wie z.B. Becher mit Boden, ist dieses Aushubsystem ebenfalls sehr geeignet für problematisches Aushubgut, wie nasser Humus, Lehm, Seekreide usw.Because there are no permanent closed cavities, such as Cup with bottom, this excavation system is also very suitable for problematic excavated material, such as wet humus, clay, sea chalk, etc.

Das Flügelrad 12, 14 ist sehr kompakt und ohne exponierte, bewegliche Teile, wie z.B. Ketten, Becher usw. Dadurch kann es so robust gebaut werden, dass vorkommende grössere Broken wie Mauerwerk, Steine usw. problemlos zerkleinert werden. Blockiert ein Gegenstand das Flügelrad 12, 14, so schützt eine automatische Druckabschaltung die Einrichtung vor Deformationen. Wird festgestellt, dass z.B. ein Kabel erfasst und aufgewickelt wird, so kann die Drehbewegung sofort gestoppt und die Verwicklung durch Ändern des Drehsinns behoben werden. Die beiden Flügelräder 12, 14 sind einzeln über je einen Motor 40 angetrieben und auch einzeln steuerbar.The impeller 12, 14 is very compact and without exposed, moving parts, such as chains, cups, etc. Thus, it can be built so robust that occurring larger Broken as masonry, stones, etc. are easily crushed. If an object blocks the impeller 12, 14, an automatic pressure shut-off protects the device against deformations. If it is determined that, for example, a cable is caught and wound up, the rotational movement can be stopped immediately and the entanglement by changing the direction of rotation be resolved. The two impellers 12, 14 are individually driven via a respective motor 40 and also individually controllable.

Die am äusseren seitlichen Rand 26 der Leitflügel 22 montierten Flügelzähne 28 dienen zur Lockerung von hartem Aushubmaterial 41.The wing teeth 28 mounted on the outer side edge 26 of the guide vanes 22 serve to loosen hard excavated material 41.

Je nach Anwendungsbereich gibt es für das Flügelrad 12, 14 verschiedene Optimierungsvarianten:

  • Bei Änderung der Drehrichtung u kann die Arbeitsrichtung A geändert werden (rückwärts, schwenken). Ebenso ist eine Anpassung an Schichtungen des Aushubmaterials möglich.
  • Oben geschlossene Leitflügel 22 mit abgewinkeltem Flügelteil 38 anstelle der Flügelabdeckung 34 sind besonders geeignet für körniges Aushubgut ohne Sperrgut, wie z.B. Holz.
  • Eine im Aushubbereich durchgehende Flügelabdeckung 34 (Fig. 12) ist besonders geeignet für problematisches Aushubgut, wie grosse Steine und Holz. Sperrgut wird ausgeschieden. Diese Anordnung funktioniert beim Schwenken, nicht jedoch bei Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsfahrt.
  • Ein im Aushubbereich durchgehendes Leitschild 30 (Fig.13) ist besonders geeignet für Sperrgut, das nicht zerkleinert werden kann, wie z.B. Granitklötze und armierte Fundamentrückstände.
  • Ein gekürztes Leitschild 30 (Fig.14) ist besonders geeignet für zerkleinerbares Sperrgut, wie z.B. Backsteine.
Depending on the field of application, there are different optimization variants for the impeller 12, 14:
  • When changing the direction of rotation u, the working direction A can be changed (backward, pivoting). Likewise, adaptation to stratifications of the excavated material is possible.
  • Top closed guide vanes 22 with angled wing portion 38 instead of the wing cover 34 are particularly suitable for granular Aushubgut without bulky goods, such as wood.
  • A wing cover 34 passing through in the excavation area (FIG. Fig. 12 ) is particularly suitable for problematic excavated material, such as large stones and wood. Bulky goods are eliminated. This arrangement works when panning, but not during forward and reverse.
  • An in the excavation area continuous guide plate 30 ( Figure 13 ) is particularly suitable for bulky goods that can not be crushed, such as granite blocks and reinforced foundation residues.
  • A shortened signage 30 ( Figure 14 ) is particularly suitable for shredding bulky items such as bricks.
