Description
ARRANGEMENT IN A SUCTION SYSTEM FOR SOLID MATERIALS
The present invention relates to an arrangement as defined in the preamble of claim 1. Suction or negative pressure can be used in a tubing system to convey widely varying kinds of materials, vari¬ ous industrial mass flows and in centralized vacuum cleaning units used in industry and various institutions to convey both dry and wet mass, powders, granular mate- rials and even piece-type materials. In such systems, very long suction tubes with multiple branches, connected to a single suction unit, are used. In such cases, the suction tubing is composed of tubes of two different sizes, the trunk tubes having a larger diameter and the branch tubes at each supply connection a clearly smaller diameter. It is also possible that the trunk tubing is constructed of two tubes of different diameters, branch tubes being connected to other branches of a larger di¬ ameter and these to collector tubes of a still larger di- ameter connected to a suction unit.
The purpose of trunk tubes of a larger diameter is to reduce suction losses in long tube systems and thus to maintain a good suction effect of the system.
A source of problems in suction tube systems is the fact that the flow velocity of the suction air is reduced with increasing tube diameter. Therefore, the air flow velocity in the relatively thin branch tubes at each sup¬ ply connection may be very high, which is why the air flow can easily carry even heavy objects with it. When these objects reach the thicker trunk tubes, the velocity of the air flow carrying them is clearly reduced and this may have the result that the air flow in the trunk tubing is not sufficient to move these heavier objects all the way to the suction unit, but instead these objects remain in the trunk tubes, in which case they at least reduce the suction effect and may cause obstructions of varying degrees in the trunk tubes.
The object of the invention is to eliminate the problems referred to above. A specific object of the in¬ vention is to produce a new type of arrangement in a suc¬ tion system, designed to prevent obstructions in the trunk tubing and ensure a faultless suction effect of the tube system whenever it is used.
As for the features characteristic of the invention, reference is made to the claims.
The arrangement in a suction system according to the invention comprises a central unit provided with regula¬ tion and control equipment; a suction tube system pro¬ vided with supply connections and consisting of trunk tubes and branch tubes for each supply connection; and a suction unit designed to create a negative pressure in the suction tube system. According to the invention, one end of the trunk tubing is provided with a controllable valve, so that the trunk tubing can be flushed periodi¬ cally with a large amount of air supplied through the valve. In an embodiment, the trunk tubing consists of two or more trunk tube branches, each trunk tube branch being provided with a flushing valve at one end. It is also possible that a flushing valve is provided in each tubing section that is larger in cross-section than the smallest section in the suction tube system.
The valve is preferably a pneumatic actuator which is connected to a compressed-air source for opening and closing the valve. The valve used is preferably a slide valve, which is easy and simple to open and close by means of a pneumatic valve. The compressed-air source can be placed in conjunction with the central unit and the suction unit, especially when the suction unit needs com¬ pressed air e.g. for the cleaning of filters.
In a preferred embodiment, the valve is a pneumatic actuator which can be opened by a negative pressure pres¬ ent behind it in the trunk tube branch. In this case, there is preferably a mechanical spring connected to the
pneumatic actuator to close it after a completed flushing operation.
In an embodiment of the invention, the suction sys¬ tem is a centralized vacuum cleaning system, in which case the supply connections are suction sockets. In an¬ other embodiment of the invention, the suction system is an industrial mass conveying system, in which case the supply connections are e.g. mass supply containers or funnels. As compared with prior art, the system of the inven¬ tion has the advantage that it enables the suction tube system to be kept clean and an optimum suction effect to be continuously maintained, avoiding obstructions in the tubing which may result in difficult and expensive clear- ing operations.
In the following, the invention is described in de¬ tail by the aid of the attached drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a diagram representing a suction tube system according to invention, and Fig. 2 is a diagram representing another application of the valve.
Fig. 1 presents a diagram of a centralized vacuum cleaning system, which comprises a suction unit 6 and a suction tube system 3 connected to it. The suction tube system consists of trunk tubing 4 and, connected to it, a number of branch tubes 5 with suction sockets 2 provided at their ends. In this embodiment, the trunk tubing con¬ sists of two trunk tube branches 8.
The end of each trunk tube branch 8 is provided with a valve 7. Mounted in conjunction with the suction unit 6 is a central unit 1, which contains a valve control unit 11 and a unit 12 monitoring the suction sockets 2. Placed near the suction unit 6 is also a compressed-air source 9, by means of which the filters of the suction unit can be cleaned when necessary.
The valve control unit 11 is electrically connected to the valves 7, whereas the compressed-air source 9 is pneumatically connected to the valves 7 to allow the
valves to be opened and closed with compressed air. The suction socket monitoring unit 12 is electrically con¬ nected to all the suction sockets 2.
According to the invention, the system presented functions as follows. When one or more of the suction sockets 2 is in use or has been opened, the monitoring unit 12 in the central unit 1 detects this, whereupon the suction unit 6 is activated and draws air through the opened suction sockets. When use of the system is fin- ished and the last one of the suction sockets utilized is closed, the suction unit 6 continues operating and the valve 7 at the end of one of the trunk tube branches 8 is opened by the valve control unit 11 e.g. for 20 seconds. After this, the valve is closed and the valve at the end of the other trunk tube branch is opened in a correspond¬ ing manner.
An essential feature of the valves used is that they open the tube end completely, in other words, they pres¬ ent as little resistance to air flow as possible, permit- ting a maximal air flow to be generated in the tubing to effectively remove any impurities that may remain in it.
The central unit 1 is preferably so arranged and programmed that the operations described above are car¬ ried out automatically, while the only external control applied to the system consists of the signals produced by the opening and closing of the suction sockets. It is naturally also possible within the scope of the invention to activate flushing of required tubes manually as well.
It is also possible that the flushing of the tubing as described above is not performed after each time the system has been used, but is carried out at given inter¬ vals, e.g. once a day, e.g. by means of a timer provided in the regulation and control unit. In the system de¬ scribed above, it is possible to use various components and regulation methods known separately and in themselves to implement desired functions as described. They will therefore not be described in detail in this context.
Fig. 2 presents another embodiment, in which the valve 10 at the end of a trunk tube branch 8 is opened without a separate compressed-air source. In this embodi¬ ment, the valve is connected to a pneumatic negative- pressure operated actuator 13, which is connected via a pipe 14 to the trunk tube branch 8 behind the valve 10. In addition, the pipe 14 is provided with a control valve 15 controlled by the valve control unit 11.
The system works as follows. After the suction sock- ets 2 have been closed, the negative pressure in the trunk tube branch 8 increases strongly. When valve 15 is now opened by electric control, the negative pressure ap¬ plied via pipe 14 activates the actuator 13, which opens the valve. An intensive air flow now flushes the tube branch 8 and cleans it. The valve 10 is additionally pro¬ vided with a mechanical reset device, a spring which closes the valve when the opening effect of the actuator 13 on the valve is removed.
In the foregoing, the invention has been described by way of example by the aid of the attached drawing, but different embodiments of the invention are possible in the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims.
