Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for separating feed material into fine material and coarse material according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Generic devices are known (see for example DE-A-1 607 631 ) and are often used as a downstream stage of view for the separation of coarse material from a gas-solid stream of an upstream process.
- the upstream process can be carried out, for example, by means of a mill, a cyclone separator or a static or dynamic classifier.
- plants are known in which the feedstock is fed to a first level of vision in the form of a basket sifter, where first the fines are removed from the feedstock. Particles that are rejected by the classifying wheel due to their size or weight, flow along the inner wall of a cone forming the lower housing part, which opens into the cylindrical viewing zone of a second viewing stage.
- the cylindrical viewing zone is concentrically surrounded by a ring channel, which is fed via a radially incoming air inlet with classifying air. Through openings in the wall between the cylindrical viewing zone and the annular channel, the classifying air enters the classifying zone, where it meets the flow of material coming from the inner cone.
- the feed is subjected to a second sighting, with the fines being returned upwardly from the classifying air to the basket sifter while the coarse material, due to gravity, leaves the viewing area, where it is collected and withdrawn from time to time. It has been found, however, that the selectivity of the second stage of vision is not satisfactory, that is, that the grain size distribution of the fine material or coarse material still has too many shares of each other fraction.
- the object of the invention is to further develop known classifiers with regard to the most exact possible adherence to a predetermined separation limit.
- An imprecise selectivity is due to the fact that the classifying air does not enter the visual zone over the entire course of the viewing zone at a uniform speed. Since the visual effect is based essentially on the dragging force exerted by the classifying air on the good particles, and the towing force in turn depends mainly on the flow velocity of the classifying air, larger particles of good material are entrained as fine material in regions with high flow velocity, while such particles are already present in regions of lower flow rate Grobgut be singled out. The separation limit therefore migrates as a function of the flow velocity, which leads to a blurred selectivity.
- a device was designed in which the classifying air enters the viewing zone over the entire circumference of the viewing zone at a uniform flow velocity, with the result that a preselected separating limit is maintained precisely and permanently.
- the invention is based on the assumption that, ideally, the quotient of the time-dependent volume flow of the classifying air and the area of the flow cross section of the distributor channel should remain as constant as possible over the entire length of the distributor channel, in order to ensure a uniform flow velocity in the distributor channel and thus upon entry into the viewing zone receive. Since the volume of the sifting air flow in the flow direction of the distributor channel decreases to the extent that sifting air enters the sifting zone, the speed loss observed in the prior art can be counteracted by the cross-section of the distributor channel becoming progressively smaller.
- the speed losses are exactly compensated by corresponding reduction of the flow cross-section in the distributor channel, that is, the classifying air flows at the beginning of the distributor channel at the same speed into the viewing zone as at the end of the distributor channel or somewhere in between. This creates uniform output parameters for the viewing process over the entire viewing zone with the effect of a consistently high selectivity.
- the reduction of the modusquerites the distribution channel is preferably achieved by reducing its radial extent, the distribution channel can be left in its height and thus does not significantly increase the design effort.
- the reduction of the fürströmqueritess can be carried out in several stages, each extending over a peripheral portion of the distribution channel.
- a continuous course of the outer circumferential wall of the distribution channel is preferred, for example, in that the outer circumferential wall spirally approximates the opposite circular zone wall delimiting the viewing zone.
- the cylindrical wall between the viewing zone and distribution channel only has passage openings in an otherwise closed area
- the partition is formed according to a particularly preferred embodiment of a plurality of air vanes, which are arranged along the circumference of the viewing zone.
- the plate-like air guide vanes can connect tangentially with their rear end in the flow direction to the circular cylindrical circumference of the classifier zone, while its front end protrudes into the distribution channel.
- the front ends of the air vanes form a kind of funnel which traps the view air flow and concentrates on the passage opening.
- a device results in combination as a second viewing stage after a static or dynamic classifier, such as a basket classifier, in which the fine material outlet is arranged axially above the cylindrical viewing zone, so that the fine material coming from the classifying zone can be fed to the fine material outlet.
- a static or dynamic classifier such as a basket classifier
- the Fig. 1 and 2 show a device 1 according to the invention in the essential sections, the device 1 is integrated in the present embodiment in a two-stage screening process.
- the first screening stage is formed by a basket sifter, of which only the lower housing part 2 with a cylindrical portion 3 and an inner cone 4 is shown. Furthermore, one sees the lower end of a fine material take-off 5.
- the feed material 6 which still contains fines and coarse material fractions, flows downwards in the direction of the device 1 according to the invention, where in a second step an aftertreatment takes place.
- the inventive device 1 has a substantially cylindrical housing 7 which extends coaxially along the axis 8 and connects upwardly to the inner cone 4 of the basket sifter.
- a in cross-section rectangular and extending in a radial plane to the axis 8 distribution channel 9 is integrated, which is composed of a bottom ring plate 10, an axially spaced plan parallel opposite cover ring disc 11 and a two annular discs 10 and 11 respectively connecting inner wall 12th and outer wall 13.
- Fig. 2 opens tangentially into the distribution channel 9, an inlet nozzle 14 for supplying the classifying air.
- the arrows 15 symbolize the reformluftströmung within the distribution channel 9.
- the outer wall 13 of the distribution channel 9 has with respect to the axis 8 a spiral shape, that is their distance from the axis 8 decreases in the flow direction 15.
- the inner wall 12 surrounds the axis 8 concentric, which together leads to a reduction of the radial extension of the distribution channel 9 and causes a constant reduction of the fürströmqueritess in the flow direction 15 at the same axial height.
- the inner wall 12 is made in a dissolved construction, that is, it is composed of a plurality of individual air vanes 16, which are arranged at a tangential distance from each other.
- the air vanes 16 consist of flat plate-shaped elements whose opposite, axially extending end faces are chamfered and in this way form sharp edges 17 and 18.
- the air guide vanes 16 are fastened in tangential alignment with the axis 8 with its lower edge on the bottom ring disk 10 and with its upper edge on the cover ring disk 11 of the feed channel 9.
- the forward edges 15 in the flow direction 15 extend into the distribution channel 9, while the rear edges 18 have the smallest distance from the axis 8 and there connect tangentially to a common circumferential circle 31.
- the last in the direction of flow 15 last air guide blade 16 ' is formed longer and closes with its front in the flow direction 15 close to the outer wall 13 of the distribution channel 9 so that it ends there and a circulation flow of the classifying air 15 is prevented.
- the outer side facing away from the axis 8 19 of a first air guide blade 16 in the flow direction 15 with the slope in the region of the front sharp edge 17 of the subsequent air guide blade 16 includes a funnel-shaped gap 20 in the flow direction 15 in one of the slope in Area of the rear sharp edge 18 of the first air guide blade 16 and the axis 8 facing inside 22 of the subsequent air guide blade 16 formed channel-shaped gap 21 merges with constant gap cross-section and causes a tangential orientation of the classifying air flow 15 'in this area.
- the clearances between the guide vanes 16 extending along the peripheral circle 31 of the rear sharp edges 18 form passage openings 23 from the interior of the distributor channel 9 to a cylindrical viewing zone 24 enclosed by the inner wall 12.
- the classifying air 15 'passes through the openings 23 tangentially into the viewing zone 24 and sweeps with an axial upward component helically over the entire inner circumference of the viewing zone 24 and meets the axially directed from the inner cone 4 downflow of the feed 6, which is also distributed as Gutschleier uniformly over the entire circumference of the viewing zone 24 ,
- the housing 7 continues in a cylindrical coarse material outlet 26, which merges into a collecting cone 27 and whose lower end is closed by a discharge lock 28.
- the function of a device is as follows.
- the feed material is sighted in a first viewing stage, for example on a classifying wheel of a basket sifter, and a first portion of fines is withdrawn.
- the rejected on the classifying wheel 6sistedgut 6 is further digested by the impact on the classifying wheel and due to turbulence-related collisions of the Gutp motherboard with each other, so that in the feed material 6 as before fine material and coarse material are subjected to increase the efficiency of the viewing process of a Nachsichtung.
- the feed material 6 produced in the first view stage flows axially downwards along the inner cone 4 into the region of the viewing zone 24 of the device 1 according to the invention.
- the device 1 used in the present example as grobgutsichter is fed by means of a blower, not shown, with classifying air 15, which passes through the inlet port 14 into the distribution channel 9.
- a portion of the classifying air 15 is branched off from the air guide vanes 16 and passed through the openings 23 with the axis 8 tangential alignment through the openings 23 in the viewing zone 24 (arrow 15 ').
- the flow cross section in the flow direction 15 decreases due to the spiral course of the outer wall 13, whereby otherwise occurring velocity losses of the classifying air flow 15 are compensated.
- the speed of the classifying air 15 in Distribution channel 9 is thus constant over the entire circumference of the distribution channel 9 and thus also the entry velocity of the classifying air 15 'into the classifying zone 24.
- the feed material 6 In the region of the visual zone 24, the feed material 6 thus encounters a uniform visual air flow 15 ', which flows helically upwards with a vertical component and thereby dissolves the fine material from the feed material 6 symbolized by the arrows 29 with a uniform drag force and delivers it to the fine material take-off 5 or returns to the basket sifter.
- the gravity prevails over the drag force of the prepare for processing the feed material 6 .
- the separation boundary between fines 29 and coarse material 30 can be adjusted by appropriate selection of the flow velocity of the classifying air 15 in the distribution channel 9.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Trennen von Aufgabegut in Feingut und Grobgut gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for separating feed material into fine material and coarse material according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Gattungsgemäße Vorrichtungen sind bekannt (siehe beispielsweise
So sind beispielsweise Anlagen bekannt, bei denen das Aufgabegut einer ersten Sichtstufe in Form eines Korbsichters zugeführt wird, wo zunächst das Feingut aus dem Aufgabegut abgezogen wird. Partikel, die vom Sichtrad aufgrund ihrer Größe oder ihres Gewichts abgewiesen werden, fließen an der Innenwandung eines den unteren Gehäuseteil bildenden Konus entlang, der in die zylindrische Sichtzone einer zweiten Sichtstufe mündet. Die zylindrische Sichtzone ist von einem Ringkanal konzentrisch umgeben, der über einen radial einmündenden Lufteinlass mit Sichtluft beschickt wird. Durch Öffnungen in der Wand zwischen zylindrischer Sichtzone und Ringkanal tritt die Sichtluft in die Sichtzone, wo sie auf die vom Innenkonus kommende Gutströmung trifft. Auf diese Weise wird das Aufgabegut einer zweiten Sichtung unterzogen, wobei das Feingut von der Sichtluft nach oben zum Korbsichter zurückgeführt wird, während das Grobgut schwerkraftbedingt die Sichtzone nach unten verlässt, wo es gesammelt und von Zeit zu Zeit abgezogen wird. Dabei hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass die Trennschärfe der zweiten Sichtstufe nicht zufriedenstellend ist, das heißt, dass die Korngrößenverteilung des Feinguts bzw. des Grobguts noch zu viele Anteile der jeweils anderen Fraktion aufweist.For example, plants are known in which the feedstock is fed to a first level of vision in the form of a basket sifter, where first the fines are removed from the feedstock. Particles that are rejected by the classifying wheel due to their size or weight, flow along the inner wall of a cone forming the lower housing part, which opens into the cylindrical viewing zone of a second viewing stage. The cylindrical viewing zone is concentrically surrounded by a ring channel, which is fed via a radially incoming air inlet with classifying air. Through openings in the wall between the cylindrical viewing zone and the annular channel, the classifying air enters the classifying zone, where it meets the flow of material coming from the inner cone. In this way, the feed is subjected to a second sighting, with the fines being returned upwardly from the classifying air to the basket sifter while the coarse material, due to gravity, leaves the viewing area, where it is collected and withdrawn from time to time. It has been found, however, that the selectivity of the second stage of vision is not satisfactory, that is, that the grain size distribution of the fine material or coarse material still has too many shares of each other fraction.
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, bekannte Sichter im Hinblick auf die möglichst exakte Einhaltung einer vorgegebenen Trenngrenze weiter zu entwickeln.Against this background, the object of the invention is to further develop known classifiers with regard to the most exact possible adherence to a predetermined separation limit.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device having the features of patent claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.
Eine unsaubere Trennschärfe ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass die Sichtluft nicht über den gesamten Verlauf der Sichtzone mit einer einheitlichen Geschwindigkeit in die Sichtzone eintritt. Da der Sichteffekt im wesentlichen auf der von der Sichtluft auf die Gutpartikel ausgeübten Schleppkraft beruht und die Schleppkraft wiederum hauptsächlich von der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Sichtluft abhängt, werden in Bereichen mit hoher Strömungsgeschwindigkeit größere Gutpartikel als Feingut mitgerissen, während in Bereichen mit kleinerer Strömungsgeschwindigkeit derartige Partikel bereits als Grobgut ausgesondert werden. Die Trenngrenze wandert daher in Abhängigkeit der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit, was zu einer verschwommenen Trennschärfe führt.An imprecise selectivity is due to the fact that the classifying air does not enter the visual zone over the entire course of the viewing zone at a uniform speed. Since the visual effect is based essentially on the dragging force exerted by the classifying air on the good particles, and the towing force in turn depends mainly on the flow velocity of the classifying air, larger particles of good material are entrained as fine material in regions with high flow velocity, while such particles are already present in regions of lower flow rate Grobgut be singled out. The separation limit therefore migrates as a function of the flow velocity, which leads to a blurred selectivity.
Auf diese Erkenntnisse aufbauend wurde eine Vorrichtung konstruiert, bei der die Sichtluft über den gesamten Umfang der Sichtzone mit einheitlicher Strömungsgeschwindigkeit in die Sichtzone eintritt, mit der Folge, dass eine vorgewählte Trenngrenze exakt und dauerhaft eingehalten wird.Based on these findings, a device was designed in which the classifying air enters the viewing zone over the entire circumference of the viewing zone at a uniform flow velocity, with the result that a preselected separating limit is maintained precisely and permanently.
Dabei geht die Erfindung davon aus, dass im Idealfall der Quotient aus dem zeitabhängigen Volumenstrom der Sichtluft und der Fläche des Durchströmquerschnitts des Verteilerkanals über die gesamte Länge des Verteilerkanals möglichst konstant bleiben sollte, um eine einheitliche Strömungsgeschwindigkeit im Verteilerkanal und damit beim Eintritt in die Sichtzone zu erhalten. Da das Volumen der Sichtluftströmung in Durchströmrichtung des Verteilerkanals in dem Maße abnimmt, wie Sichtluft in die Sichtzone eintritt, kann dem beim Stand der Technik zu beobachtenden Geschwindigkeitsverlust dadurch entgegen gewirkt werden, dass der Verteilerkanal im Querschnitt zunehmend kleiner wird. Im Idealfall werden erfindungsgemäß die Geschwindigkeitsverluste durch entsprechende Reduzierung des Strömungsquerschnitts im Verteilerkanal exakt ausgeglichen, das heißt, die Sichtluft strömt zu Beginn des Verteilerkanals mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit in die Sichtzone wie am Ende des Verteilerkanals oder irgendwo dazwischen. Damit werden einheitliche Ausgangsparameter für den Sichtvorgang über die gesamte Sichtzone geschaffen mit dem Effekt einer gleichbleibend hohen Trennschärfe.In this case, the invention is based on the assumption that, ideally, the quotient of the time-dependent volume flow of the classifying air and the area of the flow cross section of the distributor channel should remain as constant as possible over the entire length of the distributor channel, in order to ensure a uniform flow velocity in the distributor channel and thus upon entry into the viewing zone receive. Since the volume of the sifting air flow in the flow direction of the distributor channel decreases to the extent that sifting air enters the sifting zone, the speed loss observed in the prior art can be counteracted by the cross-section of the distributor channel becoming progressively smaller. Ideally, according to the invention, the speed losses are exactly compensated by corresponding reduction of the flow cross-section in the distributor channel, that is, the classifying air flows at the beginning of the distributor channel at the same speed into the viewing zone as at the end of the distributor channel or somewhere in between. This creates uniform output parameters for the viewing process over the entire viewing zone with the effect of a consistently high selectivity.
Die Reduzierung des Durchströmquerschnitts des Verteilerkanals wird bevorzugt durch Verringerung dessen radialer Erstreckung erreicht, wobei der Verteilerkanal in seiner Höhe belassen werden kann und sich damit der konstruktive Aufwand nicht wesentlich erhöht. Die Reduzierung des Durchströmquerschnitts kann dabei in mehreren Stufen erfolgen, die sich jeweils über einen Umfangsabschnitt des Verteilerkanals erstrecken. Bevorzugt ist jedoch ein stetiger Verlauf der äußeren Umfangswand des Verteilerkanals, beispielsweise indem sich die äußere Umfangswand spiralförmig der gegenüberliegenden, die Sichtzone begrenzenden, kreiszylindrischen Wand annähert.The reduction of the Durchströmquerschnitts the distribution channel is preferably achieved by reducing its radial extent, the distribution channel can be left in its height and thus does not significantly increase the design effort. The reduction of the Durchströmquerschnitts can be carried out in several stages, each extending over a peripheral portion of the distribution channel. However, a continuous course of the outer circumferential wall of the distribution channel is preferred, for example, in that the outer circumferential wall spirally approximates the opposite circular zone wall delimiting the viewing zone.
Während bei einfachen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung die zylindrische Wand zwischen Sichtzone und Verteilerkanal lediglich Durchtrittsöffnungen in einer ansonst geschlossenen Fläche aufweist, wird die Trennwand gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform von einer Vielzahl von Luftleitschaufeln gebildet, die entlang des Umfangs der Sichtzone angeordnet sind. Infolge eines dabei eingehaltenen tangentialen Abstands zweier benachbarter Luftleitschaufeln entstehen axiale Durchtrittsspalte für die Sichtluft.While in simple embodiments of the invention, the cylindrical wall between the viewing zone and distribution channel only has passage openings in an otherwise closed area, the partition is formed according to a particularly preferred embodiment of a plurality of air vanes, which are arranged along the circumference of the viewing zone. As a result of a tangential distance of two adjacent air guide vanes, axial passage gaps are created for the classifying air.
In Weiterbildung dieser Ausführungsform können die plattenartigen Luftleitschaufeln mit ihrem in Durchströmrichtung hinteren Ende tangential an den kreiszylindrischen Umfang der Sichterzone anschließen, während ihr vorderes Ende in den Verteilerkanal hineinragt. Auf diese Weise bilden die vorderen Enden der Luftleitschaufeln eine Art Trichter, der die Sichtluftströmung einfängt und auf die Durchtrittsöffnung konzentriert.In a further development of this embodiment, the plate-like air guide vanes can connect tangentially with their rear end in the flow direction to the circular cylindrical circumference of the classifier zone, while its front end protrudes into the distribution channel. In this way, the front ends of the air vanes form a kind of funnel which traps the view air flow and concentrates on the passage opening.
Unterstützt wird dieser Effekt, wenn die schmalen, die Durchtrittsöffnungen begrenzenden Stirnseiten der Luftleitschaufeln schräg verlaufen, wobei die scharfe axiale Kante am vorderen Ende der Luftleitschaufeln dem Verteilerkanal zugewandt ist und die scharfe Kante am hinteren Ende der Luftleitschaufeln der Sichtzone zugewandt ist. Durch die schrägen Stirnseiten wird die Trichterwirkung weiter verbessert und darüber hinaus wird im tangentialen Überlappungsbereich zweier benachbarter Leitschaufeln ein Einströmkanal für die Sichtluft gebildet, der eine tangentiale Ausrichtung der Sichtluftströmung beim Eintritt in die Sichtzone ermöglicht und dort eine schraubenlinienförmig nach oben gerichtete Luftströmung bewirkt. So wird eine ausreichende Sichtung auch in den Bereichen zwischen den Durchtrittsöffnungen sichergestellt.This effect is assisted when the narrow, the passage openings bounding end faces of the air guide vanes are inclined, wherein the sharp axial edge at the front end of the air guide vanes facing the distribution channel and the sharp edge at the rear end of the air guide vanes facing the viewing zone. Due to the oblique end faces, the funnel effect is further improved and, in addition, an inflow channel for the classifying air is formed in the tangential overlap region of two adjacent vanes, which allows a tangential orientation of the classifying air flow upon entry into the classifying zone and causes a helical upwardly directed air flow there. Thus, a sufficient sighting is ensured even in the areas between the passage openings.
Eine erfindungsgemäßer Vorrichtungen ergibt sich in Kombination als zweite Sichtstufe nach einem statischen oder dynamischen Sichter, wie zum Beispiel einem Korbsichter, bei dem der Feingutabzug axial oberhalb der zylindrischen Sichtzone angeordnet ist, so dass das aus der Sichtzone kommende Feingut dem Feingutabzug zuführbar ist.A device according to the invention results in combination as a second viewing stage after a static or dynamic classifier, such as a basket classifier, in which the fine material outlet is arranged axially above the cylindrical viewing zone, so that the fine material coming from the classifying zone can be fed to the fine material outlet.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 1 besitzt ein im wesentlichen zylindrisches Gehäuse 7, das sich koaxial entlang der Achse 8 erstreckt und nach oben an den Innenkonus 4 des Korbsichters anschließt. In das Gehäuse 7 ist ein im Querschnitt rechteckförmiger und in einer Radialebene zur Achse 8 verlaufender Verteilerkanal 9 integriert, der sich zusammensetzt aus einer Bodenringscheibe 10, einer dazu in axialem Abstand planparallel gegenüberliegenden Deckringscheibe 11 sowie einer die beiden Ringscheiben 10 und 11 jeweils verbindenden Innenwand 12 und Außenwand 13.The inventive device 1 has a substantially
Wie vor allem aus
Die Innenwand 12 ist in aufgelöster Bauweise hergestellt, das heißt sie setzt sich aus einer Vielzahl einzelner Luftleitschaufeln 16 zusammen, die in tangentialem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind. Die Luftleitschaufeln 16 bestehen aus ebenen plattenförmigen Elementen, deren sich gegenüberliegende, axial verlaufende Stirnseiten abgeschrägt sind und auf diese Weise scharfe Kanten 17 und 18 bilden. Die auf diese Weise gebildeten Schrägen einer Luftleitschaufel 16 können planparallel verlaufen. Die Luftleitschaufeln 16 sind in tangentialer Ausrichtung zur Achse 8 mit ihrem unteren Rand an der Bodenringscheibe 10 und mit ihrem oberen Rand an der Deckringscheibe 11 des Zuführkanals 9 befestigt. Dabei erstrecken sich die in Durchströmrichtung 15 vorderen Kanten 17 in den Verteilerkanal 9 hinein, während die hinteren Kanten 18 den geringsten Abstand zur Achse 8 aufweisen und dort tangential an einen gemeinsamen Umfangskreis 31 anschließen. Die in Durchströmrichtung 15 letzte Luftleitschaufel 16' ist länger ausgebildet und schließt mit ihrem in Durchströmrichtung 15 vorderen Ende dicht an die Außenwand 13 des Verteilerkanals 9, so dass dieser dort endet und eine Kreislaufströmung der Sichtluft 15 verhindert wird.The
Diese Anordnung führt dazu, dass die der Achse 8 abgewandte Außenseite 19 einer in Durchströmrichtung 15 ersten Luftleitschaufel 16 mit der Schräge im Bereich der vorderen scharfen Kante 17 der nachfolgenden Luftleitschaufel 16 einen trichterförmigen Spalt 20 einschließt, der in Durchströmrichtung 15 in einen von der Schräge im Bereich der hinteren scharfen Kante 18 der ersten Luftleitschaufel 16 und der der Achse 8 zugewandten Innenseite 22 der nachfolgenden Luftleitschaufel 16 gebildeten kanalförmigen Spalt 21 mit gleichbleibenden Spaltquerschnitt übergeht und eine tangentiale Ausrichtung der Sichtluftströmung 15' in diesem Bereich bewirkt.This arrangement results in that the outer side facing away from the

Die Sichtluft 15' tritt durch die Öffnungen 23 tangential in die Sichtzone 24 ein und streicht mit einer axialen nach oben gerichteten Komponente schraubenlinienförmig über den gesamten Innenumfang der Sichtzone 24 und trifft dabei auf die vom Innenkonus 4 axial nach unten gerichtete Strömung des Aufgabeguts 6, das als Gutschleier ebenfalls gleichmäßig über den gesamten Umfang der Sichtzone 24 verteilt ist.The clearances between the

Die Funktion einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung stellt sich wie folgt dar. Das Aufgabegut wird in einer ersten Sichtstufe beispielsweise an einem Sichtrad eines Korbsichters gesichtet und ein erster Anteil an Feingut abgezogen. Das am Sichtrad abgewiesene Aufgabegut 6 wird durch den Aufprall am Sichtrad und infolge turbulenzbedingter Kollisionen der Gutpartikel untereinander weiter aufgeschlossen, so dass sich im Aufgabegut 6 nach wie vor Feingut und Grobgut befinden, das zur Steigerung des Effizienz des Sichtprozesses einer Nachsichtung unterzogen wird. Zu diesem Zweck fließt das in der ersten Sichtstufe entstehende Aufgabegut 6 entlang des Innenkonus 4 axial nach unten in den Bereich der Sichtzone 24 der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1.The function of a device according to the invention is as follows. The feed material is sighted in a first viewing stage, for example on a classifying wheel of a basket sifter, and a first portion of fines is withdrawn. The rejected on the classifying wheel 6 Aufgabegut 6 is further digested by the impact on the classifying wheel and due to turbulence-related collisions of the Gutpartikel with each other, so that in the feed material 6 as before fine material and coarse material are subjected to increase the efficiency of the viewing process of a Nachsichtung. For this purpose, the feed material 6 produced in the first view stage flows axially downwards along the inner cone 4 into the region of the
Die im vorliegenden Beispiel als Grobgutsichter eingesetzte Vorrichtung 1 wird mittels eines nicht dargestellten Gebläses mit Sichtluft 15 beschickt, die über den Einlassstutzen 14 in den Verteilerkanal 9 gelangt. Ein Teil der Sichtluft 15 wird von den Luftleitschaufeln 16 jeweils abgezweigt und durch die Öffnungen 23 mit zur Achse 8 tangentialer Ausrichtung durch die Öffnungen 23 in die Sichtzone 24 geleitet (Pfeil 15'). An jeder Durchtrittsöffnung 23 kommt es durch die Abspaltung des Sichtluftteilstromes 15' zu einer Volumenverringerung des Sichtluftstroms 15 im Verteilerkanal 9. Gleichzeitig nimmt der Strömungsquerschnitt in Durchströmrichtung 15 durch den spiralförmigen Verlauf der Außenwand 13 ab, wodurch ansonsten auftretende Geschwindigkeitsverluste der Sichtluftströmung 15 ausgeglichen werden. Die Geschwindigkeit der Sichtluft 15 im Verteilerkanal 9 ist somit über den gesamten Umfang des Verteilerkanals 9 konstant und damit auch die Eintrittsgeschwindigkeit der Sichtluft 15' in die Sichtzone 24.The device 1 used in the present example as grobgutsichter is fed by means of a blower, not shown, with classifying
Im Bereich der Sichtzone 24 trifft das Aufgabegut 6 somit auf eine gleichmäßige Sichtluftströmung 15', die mit einer vertikalen Komponente schraubenlinienförmig nach oben strömt und dabei mit einer einheitlicher Schleppkraft das durch die Pfeile 29 versinnbildlichte Feingut aus dem Aufgabegut 6 löst und zum Feingutabzug 5 fördert bzw. erneut dem Korbsichter zuführt. Beim im Aufgabegut 6 enthaltenen Grobgut 30 hingegen überwiegt die Schwerkraft gegenüber der Schleppkraft des Sichtluftstroms 15', so dass das Grobgut 30 in Richtung des Grobgutaustrags 26 absinkt und im weiteren im Sammelkonus 27 zwischengespeichert wird, bevor es über die Austragschleuse 28 der Vorrichtung 1 entnommen wird.In the region of the
Die Trenngrenze zwischen Feingut 29 und Grobgut 30 kann durch entsprechende Wahl der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Sichtluft 15 im Verteilerkanal 9 eingestellt werden.The separation boundary between
