Feed in the chute can thus be distributed out of the chute and along the chute by the conveying means of the chute. In the case of multi-day cage batteries, the chute generally extends over the entire height of the cage battery, so that several feeding lanes can be supplied with feed simultaneously via the chute.
Im Fallschacht befindliches Futtermittel neigt zur Brücken- bildung. Dadurch ist eine sichere und gleichmäßige Nachführung des Futtermittels auf jede Fütterungsbahn nicht gewährleistet» Es ist bekannt, der Brückenbildung bei einem Fallschacht da durch entgegenzuwirken, daß Rührwerke in den Fallschacht einge baut werden. Für jede vom Fallschacht versorgte Fütterungsbah ist ein Rührwerk erforderlich. Jedes Rührwerk erfordert eine zugeordneten Antrieb mit entsprechenden Steuerungen. Rührwerk benötigen für ihren Betrieb entsprechende Energie, die bereit gestellt werden muß. Rührwerke und ihre Antriebe sind Ver schleiß unterworfen und bedürfen ständiger Wartung. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Fall schacht derart auszugestalten, daß auch ohne Verwendung ange triebener Rührwerke eine Brückenbildung vermieden wird.Feed in the chute tends to form bridges. As a result, safe and uniform feeding of the feed to every feed track is not guaranteed. It is known to counteract the formation of bridges in a chute by the fact that agitators are built into the chute. An agitator is required for each feeding conveyor supplied by the chute. Each agitator requires an associated drive with appropriate controls. Agitators require appropriate energy for their operation, which must be made available. Agitators and their drives are subject to wear and require constant maintenance. The invention has for its object to design a case shaft such that bridging is avoided even without using driven agitators.
Ein zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geschaffener Fallschach zeichnet sich aus durch in den Fallschacht vorstehende Abwei ser, die in Fallrichtung des Schüttguts geneigt sind.A drop chess created to solve this problem is characterized by protruding water into the drop shaft, which are inclined in the falling direction of the bulk material.
Die Abweiser sind starre, einfache Bauteile, die in de Fallschacht derart einsetzbar sind, daß sie den Strom des Fut-
termittels von der oberen Einschüttöffnung bis zur jeweils un¬ tersten Fütterungsbahn ständig aus der lotrechten Fallrich¬ tung, in der das Futtermittel nachrutscht, ablenken. Durch die¬ se Ablenkung wird eine Brückenbildung vermieden. Durch die Ab- weiser wird die durch die Gesamthöhe des Fallschachtes bestimm¬ te Höhe der darin befindlichen Futtermittelsäule in einzelne Abschnitte unterteilt, so daß sich der durch das Eigengewicht des Futtermittels in der Futtermittelsäule entstehende Verdich¬ tungsdruck kaum derart auswirken kann, daß Brückenbildung auf- tritt.The deflectors are rigid, simple components that can be used in the chute in such a way that they by means of the top from the upper pouring opening to the bottom feed path in each case from the vertical fall direction in which the feed slips. This deflection prevents bridging. The deflector divides the height of the feed column located therein, determined by the total height of the chute, into individual sections, so that the compression pressure which arises in the feed column due to the weight of the feed can hardly have such an effect that bridging occurs. occurs.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Fallschacht kann auf Rührwerke vollständig verzichtet werden. Der Fallschacht arbeitet be¬ triebssicher und erfordert keine Energie für das Betreiben von Rührwerken. Verschleiß tritt nicht auf, so daß der Fallschacht wartungsfrei ist. Die Herstellungskosten des erfindungsgemäßen Fallschachtes si'nd mit Vorteil auf ein Minimum reduziert.In the chute according to the invention, agitators can be completely dispensed with. The chute works reliably and does not require any energy to operate agitators. Wear does not occur, so that the chute is maintenance-free. The manufacturing costs of the chute according to the invention are advantageously reduced to a minimum.
Jeder Abweiser ist vorzugsweise ein flächiges Plattenteil, das derart angebracht ist, daß es zu etwa 3/4 seines Umfangs von angrenzenden Schachtwänden umgeben ist. Ein Abweiser kann aus einem einfachen Blechzuschnitt bestehen, der so in den Fallschacht eingesetzt wird, daß der freie Querschnitt des Fallschachtes etwa zur Hälfte abgedeckt wird. Damit das Futter¬ mittel im Fallschacht ständig nachrutschen kann, sind die Ab¬ weiser in Fallrichtung geneigt. Dabei hat sich ein Neigungswin- kel von 20 - 25" zum Schacht als zweckmäßig erwiesen. Durch Veränderungen der Neigungswinkel kann eine Anpassung an Eigen¬ schaften, z.B. die Rieselfähigkeit, des jeweils verwendeten

The deflectors are inclined in the direction of fall so that the feed can continuously slide in the chute. An angle of inclination of 20-25 "to the shaft has proven to be expedient.

Es hat sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, mehrere Abweiser al¬ ternierend in den Fallschacht vorstehend anzubringen. Die Ab¬ weiser bilden dadurch Fallstufen für nachrutschendes Futter- mittel. Dabei können die freien Kanten einander jeweils benach¬ barter Abweiser in Fallrichtung auch überlappt sein.It has proven to be expedient to mount several deflectors alternately in the drop shaft above. The deflectors thereby form drop stages for feed which slides down. The free edges of adjacent bumpers can also be overlapped in the direction of fall.
Ein besonderer Vorteil der Abweiser ergibt sich daraus, daß wenigstens ein Abweiser oberhalb jeder Fütterungsbahn der¬ art angeordnet ist, daß eine freie Kante des Abweisers abstrei- ferartig an den Rändern der oben offenen Fütterungsbahn an¬ liegt. Dadurch ist unter dem Abweiser ein futtermittelfreier Hohlraum gebildet, mit dem Vorteil, daß von einer Fütterungs¬ bahn zum Fallschacht zurückgeführtes, unverbrauchtes Futtermit¬ tel abgestreift wird und im ausgebildeten Hohlraum unbehindert aufgestaut werden kann. Dadurch wird ein gewöhnlich unvermeid¬ barer Verdichtungseffekt durch zusätzliches Einführen unver¬ brauchter Futtermittel in den Fallschacht, der die Brückenbil¬ dung fördern würde, vermieden.A particular advantage of the deflectors results from the fact that at least one deflector is arranged above each feeding track in such a way that a free edge of the deflector lies like a stripper on the edges of the feeding track which is open at the top. As a result, a feed-free cavity is formed under the deflector, with the advantage that unused feed material which is returned from a feeding track to the chute is scraped off and can be stowed up unhindered in the cavity formed. This avoids a usually unavoidable compaction effect by additionally introducing unused feed into the chute, which would promote the formation of bridges.
In jedem Fallschacht sind zweckmäßigerweise zwischen zwei Fütterungsbahnen zwei Abweiser angeordnet. Bei besonders gut rieselfähigem Futtermittel kann auch ein Abweiser ausreichen. Selbstverständlich können auch mehr als zwei Abweiser in einem Bereich zwischen zwei Fütterungsbahnen in einem Fallschacht an¬ gebracht sein. Die Anbringung von aus Blechzuschnitten gebildeten platten¬ artigen Abweisern ist besonders einfach und wirkungsvoll bei Fallschächten, deren freier Querschnitt vierkantig ist. Bei ei-
nem derartigen Fallschacht kann die Wirkung der Abweiser zur Vermeidung von Brückenbildung noch dadurch gesteigert werden, daß jede Fütterungsbahn an einer Schachtwand entlang durch den Fallschacht verläuft. Die Fütterungsbahnen sind somit an einer Seite des Fallschachtes angeordnet und verlaufen nicht durch dessen Zentrum. Diese seitlich versetzte Anordnung der Fütte¬ rungsbahnen ist besonders vorteilhaft für die Ausbildung eines Hohlraumes unter dem einer Fütterungsbahn unmittelbar benach¬ barten Abweiser, da der Hohlraum zusätzlich zur Unterseite des Abweisers noch durch die Schachtwände begrenzt wird, und zwar durch die Schachtwand, von der aus sich der Abweiser in den Fallschacht erstreckt und von der Schachtwand, entlang der die Fütterungsbahn verläuft.In each drop shaft, two deflectors are expediently arranged between two feeding tracks. If the feed is particularly free-flowing, a deflector can also be sufficient. Of course, more than two deflectors can also be provided in a region between two feeding tracks in a chute. The attachment of plate-like deflectors formed from sheet metal blanks is particularly simple and effective in the case of chutes, the free cross section of which is square. With a In such a chute, the impact of the deflectors to avoid bridging can be increased by the fact that each feeding track runs along a shaft wall through the chute. The feeding lanes are thus arranged on one side of the chute and do not run through the center thereof. This laterally offset arrangement of the feeding tracks is particularly advantageous for the formation of a cavity under the deflector immediately adjacent to a feeding track, since the cavity is delimited by the shaft walls in addition to the underside of the deflector, specifically by the shaft wall from which the deflector extends into the chute and from the shaft wall along which the feeding track runs.
Damit sich auch in der Fütterungsbahn selbst keine Brücke bildet, ist nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorgesehen, daß der Rand jeder Fütterungsbahn im Bereich zwischen zugeord¬ neten Schachtwanddurchlässen eine Ausklinkung aufweist, die vorzugsweise bis auf die Höhe des Fördermittels hinabreicht. Die Ausklinkung hat auch den Vorteil, daß überschüssiges Fut- ter, das sich im Honlraum unter dem Abweiser befindet, auch aus dem Rücklauf durch die Ausklinkung seitlich entweichen kann.So that no bridge is formed in the feeding lane itself, according to an advantageous further development it is provided that the edge of each feeding lane has a notch in the area between assigned shaft wall passages, which preferably extends down to the level of the funding. The notching also has the advantage that excess feed that is located in the honing chamber under the deflector can also escape laterally from the return through the notching.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Teil eines Fallschachtes 1 schematisch dargestellt. Der Fallschacht weist Vierkantquerschnitt auf, d.h. seine Schachtwände begrenzen einen viereckigen freien Schachtquerschnitt. Von oben wird über eine nicht weiter dar¬ gestellte Einschüttöffnung 2 Futtermittel in den Fallschacht 1 eingegeben, das in Richtung des Pfeils 3 durch den Fallschacht 1 fällt. Ausgehend von der rechten Schachtwand 4 steht in den Fallschacht 1 ein Abweiser 5 vor, der als plattenartiges Blech¬ teil ausgebildet ist und, wie hier dargestellt, in der durch den Pfeil 3 angegebenen Fallrichtung geneigt ist. Durch den Fallschacht 1 verläuft eine Fütterungsbahn 6, die in an sich bekannter Weise mit einem z.B. umlaufenden Förderelement ausge- rüstet ist, so daß über die Fütterungsbahn 6 Futtermittel aus dem Fallschacht 1 abgezogen werden kann. Das abgezogene Futter¬ mittel wird in Richtung des Pfeils 7 den Käfigen einer Käfig¬ reihe einer Käfigbatterie zugeführt.In Fig. 1, a part of a chute 1 is shown schematically. The chute has a square cross-section, i.e. its shaft walls delimit a square free shaft cross section. From above a feed opening 2 (not shown in further detail) feed is fed into the chute 1, which falls through the chute 1 in the direction of arrow 3. Starting from the right shaft wall 4, a deflector 5 protrudes into the chute 1, which is designed as a plate-like sheet metal part and, as shown here, is inclined in the direction of fall indicated by the arrow 3. A feeding track 6 runs through the chute 1 and is connected in a manner known per se with a e.g. revolving conveyor element is equipped so that 6 feed can be withdrawn from the chute 1 via the feeding track. The removed feed is fed in the direction of arrow 7 to the cages of a row of cages of a cage battery.
Der Abweiser 5 ist, wie hier dargestellt, oberhalb der Füt- terungsbahn 6 derart angeordnet, daß seine freie Kante 8 ab¬ streiferartig an den Rändern 9 der oben offenen Fütterungsbahn 6 anliegt. Dadurch ist unter dem Abweiser ein Hohlraum 10 aus-
gebildet, in dem sich von der Fütterungsbahn 6 zurückgeführtes unverbrauchtes Futtermittel gegebenenfalls aufstauen kann, wie es durch die Futtermittelanhäufung 11 angedeutet ist.The deflector 5, as shown here, is arranged above the feeding track 6 in such a way that its free edge 8 abuts the edges 9 of the feeding track 6 which is open at the top in the manner of a scraper. As a result, a cavity 10 is formed under the deflector. formed, in which unused feed fed back from the feed track 6 can possibly accumulate, as indicated by the accumulation of feed 11.
Für eine darunterliegende Käfigreihe der Käfigbatterie ist die Fütterungsbahn 6a vorgesehen, der ein Abweiser 5a, wie vor¬ beschrieben, zugeordnet ist. Von der der Schachtwand 4a gegen¬ überliegenden Schachtwand 4b steht im Bereich unmittelbar un¬ ter der oberen Fütterungsbahn 6 ein zweiter Abweiser 5b vor, und zwar alternierend zu den Abweisern 5 und 5a. Unterhalb der zweiten Fütterungsbahn 6a schließt sich ein ebenfalls mit zwei Abweisern ausgerüsteter gleichartig ausgebildeter weiterer Ab¬ schnitt des Fallschachtes an.The feeding track 6a is provided for an underlying row of cages of the cage battery, to which a deflector 5a, as described above, is assigned. A second deflector 5b protrudes from the shaft wall 4b opposite the shaft wall 4a in the area immediately below the upper feeding track 6, alternating with the deflectors 5 and 5a. Below the second feeding track 6a is a further section of the chute, which is likewise equipped with two deflectors and is similar.
Mit 12,12a und 12b sind Ausklinkungen in den dem Schachtin¬ neren zugekehrten Rändern der Fütterungsbahnen 6,6a bezeich- net. Die Ausklinkungen befinden sich im Bereich zwischen den Fütterungsbahnen zugeordneten Schachtwanddurchlässen. Jede Aus¬ klinkung reicht bis etwa auf die Höhe des in der Fütterungs¬ bahn verlaufenden Fördermittels hinab.Notches 12, 12a and 12b denote notches in the edges of the feed tracks 6, 6a facing the inside of the shaft. The notches are located in the area between the shaft wall passages assigned to the feeding lanes. Each notch extends down to approximately the level of the conveying means running in the feeding track.
Der Fallschacht kann, entsprechend ausgebildet, beliebig verlängert werden.The chute can be extended as required, if appropriately designed.
