Abstract
The Kinematic separator is a ballistic separator for separating industrial waste in 2 or 3 different fractions. This separator has a kinematic mechanism, containing swing tables and rods, that can simply be adjusted in process or before the separation process to optimize the table's relative and absolute movements, which means the size and direction of the amplitudes of the swing tables. A sharper angle between tables and rods creates more vertical amplitude and acceleration of the material, which results in more aggressive sorting. A lower angle between tables and rods creates more in line/horizontal amplitude and acceleration ofthe material, which results in higher capacity and throughput. Adjusting the angle of the adjustment frame and speed of the drive motor adds additional possibilities to optimize the required separation levels and capacity.
Description
Kinematic separator with adjustable amplitude for industrial waste
The present invention relates to a ballistic waste separator with a kinematic mechanism according to the preamble of appended Claim 1. The separator includes 2 adjustable inclining swing tables (2), with both at least 2 screen elements. (3). The Material mix (9) which is to be separated is released onto the screen elements (3). These execute a swinging movement, with an amplitude, angle and at a speed which result in hard material bouncing on the elements (3) and being discharged at the lower end (10) while soft and flexible material which does not bounce against the screen elements (3) migrate upward and is discharged at the upper end (12). The swing tables are connected with kinematic drive rods (6) via eccentric plates (7) to the drive motor (8) in anti-phase. The swing tables are hinged via kinematic swing rods (4) to an adjustable frame (5) in the form of a parallelogram, creating a parallel movement of the swing tables (2) to the adjustable frame (5). The adjustable frame (5) has up to 3 directions of adjusting, vertical, horizontal and angled, and is connected to the separator housing (1). By adjusting this frame (5), the relative and absolute amplitudes of and between the two swing tables (2) can be adjusted. This adjusting can be done in process, to determine the optimal setting for the specific material mix and required output, or before starting the separation process. A more aggressive movement, created by more vertical amplitude (15) and acceleration, results in a higher separation level of the material; a more horizontal movement results in a higher capacity and throughput. Adjusting the angle of the swing tables and speed of the drive motor adds additional possibilities to optimize the required separation levels and capacity.
It is previously known in the art to employ so-called ballistic separators to divide up the material mix into two or more fractions depending upon the properties and/or size of the various components with fixed amplitudes of rotational movement, created by eccentric or crankshaft drive mechanisms below a shaking table.
The principle of ballistic separators is that the material mix which is to be separated is released down onto a sloping shaking table. The shaking table with a number of screen elements is then caused to execute rotational movements of the screen elements with an amplitude and at a speed which result in hard matter bouncing on the shaker table and being discharged at the lower end, while soft and flexible material which does not bounce against the shaking table migrates upwards and is discharged from its upper end. It is also possible to separate additional fractions by providing the shaker table with a large number of apertures through which fragments of small size are allowed to fall. By providing apertures of different dimensions, where the smallest dimension is at the inlet, a separation of the fraction which falls out through the apertures may also be achieved.
According to EP 0870550, EP 1832352 US005611435, and SE402409, ballistic separators have technically different solutions for the eccentric mechanism, which results in a rotational movement of the material. The eccentric mechanisms have fixed eccentric amplitudes and cannot be adjusted. Only motor speed, inclining angle of the shaker table and in some cases the size of the apertures can be varied. Therefore, for a wide range of waste materials, only suboptimal separation efficiencies and separation capacities can be achieved.
One object of the present invention is, therefore, to obviate the problem inherent of the eccentric mechanisms. One solution of this problem is stated by the features of Claim 1. One of the characterizing features of the present invention is that the 2 swing tables have swing movements with higher acceleration forces on the material, and that the amplitudes of these swing tables can be adjusted (even in process) to obtain the optimal separation level at an optimal capacity.
Expedient embodiments of the present invention are disclosed in the appended sub claims.
The present invention will now be described in greater detail herein below with reference to the accompanying figures, in which:
In the embodiment shown in the figures, the apparatus has six parallel screen elements (3) which together form 2 swing tables (2), see figure 1. Each 3 screen elements are fixed together to form one swing table. The 2 swing tables (2) are parallel with the direction of flow of the soft material, and are hinged via swing rods (4), 4 swing rods (4) for each swing table (2). The swing rods (4) are hinged to an adjustment frame (5), which is connected to the separator housing (1) via adjustment mechanisms (21 and 22). The adjustment frame can be secured to the separator housing to prevent unnecessary shaking of the adjustment frame during processing waste material. Each swing table (2) is driven by a drive rod (6), which are in somewhat longitudinal direction of the swing tables at either the rear (13) or front (14) of the separator housing (1). The drive rods (6) are connected via motor eccentric plates (7) to a drive motor in anti-phase, for maximizing the relative amplitudes between the screen elements and to balance the two moving subassemblies, consisting of motor eccentric plates (7), drive rods (6), swing tables (2) including screen elements (3) and swing rods (4).
The swing tables (2) have three different outlets for different material fractions. An outlet at the upper end or front side (12), an outlet at the lower end or rear side (10) and an outlet (11) disposed beneath the swing tables. The screen elements (3) display a large number of apertures between the cleats (19) in order to allow the passage of material of relatively small size to the outlet (11) disposed beneath the swing table. In certain embodiments, the apertures are smaller at the inlet, in which event this fraction is divided up further. Such relatively small-sized material may, in industrial and residual waste, consist of various pollutant such as crushed material, fine paper, broken glass, small organic material etc.
Due to the anti-phase operation of the 2 swing tables, the material on the swing table will also have movement impulses which are transverse in relation to the normal direction of movement. This assists in agitating the material and reducing the risk that the material "floats above" other material. For example, there is a risk that hard material lands on and remains lying above, for example, a corrugated fiber board panel. The mutual movement between adjacent screen elements gives the major agitation movements. Side skirts (20) on the side of each swing table (2) prevent the material to bounce or slide sideways of the screen elements, and also prevent to get stuck around the swing rods (4) and its bearings.
During or before processing material, the separator can be adjusted to have the optimal output and capacity. The swing tables (2) must have an incline slope which can be set by the adjustment (21), in combination with the other adjustments.
When shortening the horizontal distance (17), the swing rods (4) will get a more horizontal setting and angle 18 will become smaller. See figure 3. This results in a more vertical amplitude (15) of the screen elements and also a larger vertical relative and or absolute amplitude between the swing tables (15), thus throwing up the material more aggressive. This results in a higher separation level and efficiency. Hard material bounces more on the screen elements (3), and fines can find a free path between the larger materials to reach the apertures to fall into the fines output collector (11). During this adjustment, the height adjustment (21 and 22) must be set in such a manner, that all the moving elements can make their movement without running into physical limitations, and that the optimal angles and amplitudes are achieved.
When enlarging the horizontal distance (17), the swing rods (4) will get a more vertical setting (or more precise: more rectangular to the screen elements) and angle 18 will become larger. See figure 2. This results in a more horizontal/in line amplitude of the screen elements and also a larger horizontal/in line relative and absolute amplitude between the swing tables (2), thus throwing the material more forward. This results in a higher transport speed, thus in a higher capacity. During this adjustment, the height adjustment (21 and 22) must be set in such a manner, that all the moving elements can make their movement without running into physical limitations, and that the optimal angles and amplitudes are achieved.
By changing the motor speed, material accelerations can be varied, thus changing the kinetic energy of the materials, in order to further optimize the separation output and capacities. Additional, the length of the motor eccentric plates (7) can also be changed, to change the maximum amplitudes for, par example, processing other types of material.
After achieving the optimal processing conditions, the setting can be frozen by securing fixture's between adjustment frame and housing.
To extend the use of this separator, the swing tables can be designed with different number of swing elements (3), with 2 incline slopes instead of 1 (resulting in swing tables with an angle in longitudinal direction), different sizes of apertures and special wear protection features at the impact zone where the input material falls on the swing tables. Even the anti-phase position of the motor eccentric plates (7) can be changed, if required for less aggressive relative movement between the screen elements (3). Hard material, such as plastic bottles, brick, wood, metal, etc. included in the waste will bounce on the inclining swing tables. As a result of the movement of the swing tables, the hard material will bounce in a direction towards the lower end (10). By adjusting the inclination and setting (21 and 22) of the adjustment frame, the direction of bounce can be adjusted as required. The hard material will, in average, after each bounce move backward to the lower end (10), and will fall after bouncing back over the edge of the swing tables to be discharged out of the separator back opening (10).
Soft and flexible material such as paper, cardboard, plastic film etc. which fall down on to the screen elements of the swing tables will, in principle, not bounce. When the screen element on which the soft material rests swing backward, these swing elements move under the soft material, so that the material is placed in a more relative forward position on the screen elements. This will be repeated until the soft and flexible material falls over the front side of the screen elements into the separator front opening (12).
The third fraction, which consists of crushed material like glass fractions, small paper, organic matter, etc. and which is of such size that it falls through the apertures between the cleats (19) provided in each respective screen element (3), is discharged via the outlet (11) disposed beneath the swing tables. As a result of the swing movement of the screen elements, this fraction will be displaced until it falls down through an aperture. The size of the apertures can be changed between 50 and 300 mm but may be made larger. The size of the apertures is selected in response to the type of material which is to be screened off via the outlet (11). As was mentioned above, the apertures are of different sizes at different parts of the screen elements in a number of embodiments, a further screening taking place based on aperture size.
While six screen elements are shown on the drawings, a person skilled in the art will readily perceive that other embodiments may be made of more or less screen elements (3).
The waste separator has principally been designed to be employed as a plastic bottle and paper separator, but it is self-evident that it may be employed for many different material separation operations. For example for cardboard, demolition material, industrial waste, organic waste and commercial waste.
