Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil de malaxage de matériaux humides ou secs, notamment de composants pour la fabrication de béton.The present invention relates to an apparatus for mixing wet or dry materials, in particular components for the manufacture of concrete.
Le domaine de l'invention est celui des appareils de malaxage de matériaux humides ou secs, et notamment des différents composants employés lors de la fabrication du béton, et plus particulièrement sur les sites de fabrication du béton, connus sous le nom d'usines à béton.The field of the invention is that of devices for mixing wet or dry materials, and in particular of the various components used during the manufacture of concrete, and more particularly on concrete production sites, known under the name of concrete factories. concrete.
De façon bien connue, un tel appareil comporte généralement une cuve, dont la taille peut aller jusqu'à plusieurs m3. Ladite cuve reçoit les différents matériaux à malaxer, comme par exemple les différents composants du béton, comme le ciment, l'eau, le sable, les granulats et différents adjuvants, lesquels sont mélangés et malaxés de sorte à former un mélange pâteux homogène qui peut ensuite être employé sur tout type de chantier.In a well-known manner, such an apparatus generally comprises a tank, the size of which may be up to several m 3 . Said tank receives the various materials to be mixed, such as for example the various components of concrete, such as cement, water, sand, aggregates and various additives, which are mixed and mixed so as to form a homogeneous pasty mixture which can then be used on any type of site.
Des pales de malaxage entraînées en rotation par rapport à la cuve sont employées afin de réaliser le mélange et le malaxage des matériaux bruts du béton.Mixing blades driven in rotation with respect to the tank are used in order to achieve the mixing and mixing of the raw concrete materials.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement le domaine des malaxeurs à cuve fixe et à train épicycloïdal pour lesquels les pales de malaxage sont entrainées suivant des trajectoires épicycloïdales. Ainsi, on connaît par exemple du document
De manière notable, le plateau rotatif et la couronne fixe sont coaxiaux et laissent en leur centre un large dégagement central. Un conduit d'alimentation central, fixe, traverse ce dégagement central et autorise un large accès au centre de la cuve, permettant en particulier le chargement des matières.Notably, the rotary plate and the fixed crown are coaxial and leave a large central clearance in their center. A central, fixed supply duct crosses this central clearance and allows wide access to the center of the tank, in particular allowing the loading of materials.
Un train de malaxage comporte généralement au moins un bras, au niveau de chaque extrémité duquel est fixée une pale, ledit bras s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'arbre d'entraînement du train de malaxage, et de manière classique centré sur ledit arbre d'entraînement.A mixing train generally comprises at least one arm, at each end of which is fixed a blade, said arm extending perpendicular to the drive shaft of the mixing train, and conventionally centered on said shaft. training.
De façon bien connue, et en particulier pour des cuves de large capacité et de diamètre important, on peut prévoir d'employer une pluralité de trains de malaxage afin de couvrir l'intégralité du volume de la cuve, de sorte à effectuer simultanément le malaxage de l'ensemble des matériaux se trouvant dans la cuve et assurer leur mélange homogène. Selon l'état de la technique connu, les arbres d'entraînement des différents trains de malaxage sont prévus pour être mis en rotation par une même couronne d'entraînement, et classiquement par l'intermédiaire de pignons identiques. De ce fait, ces différents arbres d'entrainement auront des vitesses angulaires d'entraînement par rapport à la cuve identique, la vitesse angulaire de rotation de chaque train de malaxage par rapport à son arbre d'entraînement dépendant du rapport entre le nombre de dents de son pignon récepteur et celui de la roue fixe.As is well known, and in particular for tanks of large capacity and large diameter, it is possible to provide for the use of a plurality of mixing trains in order to cover the entire volume of the tank, so as to simultaneously perform the mixing. of all the materials in the tank and ensure their homogeneous mixing. According to the known state of the art, the drive shafts of the various mixing trains are designed to be rotated by a single drive ring gear, and conventionally by means of identical pinions. As a result, these different drive shafts will have angular drive speeds relative to the same tank, the angular speed of rotation of each mixing train relative to its drive shaft depending on the ratio between the number of teeth. of its receiving pinion and that of the fixed wheel.
De plus, les pales de malaxage, fixées aux deux extrémités du bras de chaque train de malaxage, vont avoir une vitesse linéaire, qui va varier en continu, ce qui permet d'effectuer le malaxage par étirement différentiel du mélange des différents matériaux. De manière classique, les trains de malaxage sont entraînés en rotation autour de leur axe, dans le même sens de rotation que le plateau tournant, ce qui permet de maximiser la vitesse linéaire maximale de ladite pale.In addition, the mixing blades, fixed to the two ends of the arm of each mixing train, will have a linear speed, which will vary continuously, which allows the mixing by differential stretching of the mixture of the different materials. Conventionally, the mixing trains are driven in rotation about their axis, in the same direction of rotation as the turntable, which makes it possible to maximize the maximum linear speed of said blade.
Cependant, la vitesse linéaire de chaque pale doit être telle qu'elle ne dépasse pas une certaine valeur, pour ne pas entraîner une dégradation de l'efficacité du mélange, par ségrégation et projection, ainsi qu'une usure accélérée, et qu'elle ne soit pas inférieure à une certaine valeur, ce qui nuirait également à son efficacité. Par ailleurs, la dimension des bras supportant les pales de malaxage doit être telle qu'au moins les pales d'un train de malaxage passent par le centre de la cuve et par la zone périphérique de la cuve, laquelle reçoit la majorité du mélange, sans que les pales des différents trains de malaxage ne viennent à entrer en collision, lors du fonctionnement dudit appareil de malaxage. A cet effet, il peut être prévu des trains de malaxage avec des bras de longueurs différentes.However, the linear speed of each blade must be such that it does not exceed a certain value, so as not to cause a degradation of the efficiency of the mixture, by segregation and projection, as well as accelerated wear, and that it is not less than a certain value, which would also affect its effectiveness. Furthermore, the dimension of the arms supporting the mixing blades must be such that at least the blades of a mixing train pass through the center of the tank and through the peripheral zone of the tank, which receives the majority of the mixture, without the blades of the various mixing trains coming into collision, during the operation of said mixing apparatus. For this purpose, mixing trains with arms of different lengths can be provided.
Dans le cas de cuves de grands volumes (par exemple de volume supérieur ou égal à 3 m3), il est préférable d'employer au moins trois trains de malaxage pour s'assurer que l'ensemble des matériaux présents dans la cuve soient malaxés simultanément, de sorte à obtenir un mélange homogène.In the case of large volume tanks (for example with a volume greater than or equal to 3 m 3 ), it is preferable to use at least three mixing trains to ensure that all the materials present in the tank are mixed. simultaneously, so as to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
On connaît ainsi du document
Un tel malaxeur 1', selon cette conception antérieure, est représenté schématiquement sur la
Afin de pouvoir couvrir l'intégralité du volume de la cuve 2' simultanément par les différents trains de malaxage 3', 4', il est prévu dans un tel malaxeur 1' qu'un seul train de malaxage 3' ait ses pales 34' passant par le centre A' de la cuve 2' et que les autres trains de malaxage 4' aient leur pales 44' passant au niveau de la périphérie 21' de la cuve 2'.In order to be able to cover the entire volume of the tank 2 'simultaneously by the various mixing trains 3', 4 ', it is provided in such a mixer 1' that a single mixing train 3 'has its
De ce fait, afin que les pales 34', 44' des différents trains de malaxage 3', 4' ne viennent pas entrer en collision au cours du fonctionnement de l'appareil de malaxage 1', il est également prévu que l'arbre d'entraînement 41' des trains de malaxage 4' ayant des pales 34', 44' ne passant pas par le centre A' de la cuve 2' soit déporté par rapport à la couronne circulaire 6' sur laquelle le pignon d'entraînement 32' monté sur l'arbre d'entraînement 31' du train de malaxage 3' dont les pales 34' passent par le centre A' de cuve 2'.Therefore, so that the blades 34 ', 44' of the various mixing trains 3 ', 4' do not come into collision during the operation of the mixing apparatus 1 ', it is also expected that the shaft drive 41 'of the mixing trains 4' having blades 34 ', 44' not passing through the center A 'of the tank 2' is offset relative to the circular ring 6 'on which the drive pinion 32 'mounted on the drive shaft 31' of the mixing train 3 ', the blades 34' of which pass through the center A 'of the tank 2'.
A cet effet, et afin de garantir que les trains de malaxage 3', 4' soient entraînés en rotation dans le même sens, deux pignons 45', 46' sont intercalés entre ladite couronne circulaire 6' et ledit pignon d'entraînement 42' des trains de malaxage 4' déportés, ne passant pas par le centre A' de la cuve 2'.To this end, and in order to ensure that the mixing trains 3 ', 4' are rotated in the same direction, two pinions 45 ', 46' are interposed between said circular crown 6 'and said drive pinion 42' of the offset mixing trains 4 ', not passing through the center A' of the tank 2 '.
De ce fait, les pales 44 des trains de malaxage 4' déportés parcourent une trajectoire circulaire T4' de diamètre D4', inférieur au diamètre D3' de la trajectoire circulaire T3' parcourue par les pales 34 du premier train de malaxage 3. Cependant, les vitesses angulaires d'entraînement des différents trains de malaxage 3', 4' demeurent identiques si leurs pignons d'entraînement 32', 42' le sont, ce qui est le cas dans le dispositif décrit dans le document
Par exemple, sur l'exemple de réalisation de la
- Le diamètre D6' de la couronne circulaire 6' est de 1262 mm,
- Le diamètre des pignons d'entrainement 32', 42' est de 250 mm
- Le diamètre D3' de la trajectoire circulaire T3' est de 1620 mm,
- Le diamètre D4' de la trajectoire circulaire T4' est de 1340 mm.
- The diameter D6 'of the circular crown 6' is 1262 mm,
- The diameter of the 32 ', 42' drive sprockets is 250 mm
- The diameter D3 'of the circular path T3' is 1620 mm,
- The diameter D4 'of the circular path T4' is 1340 mm.
Ainsi, la vitesse linéaire maximale des pales 34 du premier train de malaxage 3 est de 3,71 m/s, tandis que la vitesse linéaire maximale des pales 44 de chacun des deuxièmes trains de malaxage 4 est de 3,59 m/s.Thus, the maximum linear speed of the
La vitesse linéaire maximale moyenne des pales est par ailleurs de 3,63 m/s.The average maximum linear speed of the blades is also 3.63 m / s.
Or, selon les constations de l'inventeur, il est souhaitable d'obtenir que les vitesses linéaires restent importantes pour les pales des différents trains de malaxage, afin d'obtenir un mélange homogène des différents matériaux, par étirement différentiel. Il faudrait pour cela que la vitesse angulaire d'entraînement des trains de malaxage ayant les bras les plus courts soit supérieure à celle des trains de malaxage ayant les bras les plus longs pour compenser la différence de diamètre des trajectoires parcourues par les pales des différents trains de malaxage.However, according to the findings of the inventor, it is desirable to obtain that the linear speeds remain high for the blades of the various mixing trains, in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture of the various materials, by differential stretching. This would require that the angular speed of drive of the mixing trains with the shortest arms is greater than that of the mixing trains with the longest arms to compensate for the difference in diameter of the paths traveled by the blades of the different trains. mixing.
Selon les constations de l'inventeur, il faudrait donc envisager d'employer un pignon avec un nombre de dents et un diamètre augmenté pour le train de malaxage ayant le bras le plus long, car le pignon du train de malaxage ayant le bras le plus court est le train de malaxage déporté, et est généralement déjà de dimensions minimales, notamment en termes de résistance mécanique et de couple transmissible. Le positionnement sur le plateau rotatif des arbres d'entraînement entraînant les trains de malaxage en rotation autour de l'axe de la cuve, restant identique, il faudra de ce fait prévoir une couronne circulaire de diamètre réduit.
Cela risque ainsi de complexifier la conception d'un tel appareil de malaxage.
En outre, ladite couronne étant prévue pour être éventuellement disposée autour d'un conduit d'alimentation de la cuve, il faudra prévoir de diminuer également le diamètre dudit conduit, ce qui peut s'avérer problématique pour assurer l'alimentation de la cuve de façon optimale.
Pour ces raisons et selon les constations de l'inventeur, la vitesse linéaire maximale des pales des trains de malaxage en position déportée (à bras court) est limitée par cette conception. Une telle limitation affecte les performances générales de malaxage, en particulier lorsque les trains de malaxage en position déportée sont en nombre (i.e deux, trois) et que leur action de malaxage devient ainsi prépondérante.

This thus risks complicating the design of such a mixing device.
In addition, said ring being intended to be optionally disposed around a supply duct of the tank, provision will have to be made to also reduce the diameter of said duct, which can prove to be problematic for ensuring the supply of the tank. optimally.
For these reasons and according to the findings of the inventor, the maximum linear speed of the blades of the mixing trains in the offset position (with a short arm) is limited by this design. Such a limitation affects the general mixing performance, in particular when there are a number of mixing trains in the offset position (ie two, three) and their mixing action thus becomes predominant. The document
