Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air-cooled electric motor installation according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention also relates to plants containing said electric motor installation according to the preambles of claim 11 and 12, respectively.
- primary users are intended users provided with an own electric motor and forming with said motor the installations referred to in the present invention.
- the motors of said primary users often have a remarkable power and require, therefore, a large quantity of cooling air.
- the mill motors have a power of about 100 KW and the vibrating screen motors have a power of about 5 - 10
- a device for separating the light components from the heavy ones of a crushed rubble stream by means of a sucking belt Said sacking belt is provided with sucking apertures, is placed at a small distance above a screen for the large-size separation and parallel to said separating screen.
- the motor needed for creating the necessary sucking action has a power of 55 KW.
- a pneumatic separation stage of components having different specific gravities by means of an air jet is also per se known.
- the use of a specific motor-fan ventilator group is provided. Beside the above mentioned drawbacks, in said separation stage is further necessary the investment for the specific motor-fan ventilator group.
- the provided air stream has a room temperature.
- Claim 3 suggests a connection union which is easy to manifacture and to secure to said motor housing jacket and said cooling air receiving and conveying pipe.
- Claim 4 indicates a reliable means for adjusting the rate of flow to be blown, i. e. delivered, by said cooling air receiving and conveying pipe.
- a good separation degree of the light components of a conveyed mixture stream is obtained with an installation and a secondary user as suggested in claim 5.
- a good separation degree of the light components of a conveyed mixture stream is also obtained with the teaching of claim 6.
- the claims 1 1, 12 and 13 refer to advantageous uses of the invention in specific plants or equipments as well as in a green-house.
- a general advantage of the present invention is that it is possible to further exploiting an already existent compressed air source, which is gratuitously available. Due to the fact that in a final separation stage for rubble said rubble mixture is practically free of dust, the use of said exhausted cooling air does not result in any polluting dust formations.
- Another advantage is to be seen in the fact that by using a separation by a sucking action with a kind of Venturi tube it is also possible to take up efficiently the light mixture components as well as possibly dust still trapped into the mixture stream. Still another advantage is that the solution according to the invention can be easily integrated in already existent plants or equipments without limiting the operation speed or efficiency thereof. Should the rated cooling air be insufficient for the secondary user requirements, so it is advantageously possible to increase said cooling air flow practical at at all negligible costs.
- Fig. 1 shows in principle a known installation of an air-cooled electric motor
- Fig. 2 shows a side elevation view of a combination according to the present invention ofthe installation of Fig. 1 with a secondary user;
- Fig. 3 shows a front view on the user of Fig. 2 seen along the sectional plane
- Fig. 4 shows a plant view of a second embodiment of the invention applied to a conveyor belt or separating screen illustrated in Fig. 2 and 3;

- a known installation of the type referred to in the context of the present invention is indicated by 1 in Fig. 1 and it contains an electric motor 2 on whose motor shaft 3 is keyed a driving wheel 4, driving by means of a belt transmission 4', a not shown conveyor belt which conveys a mixture stream to be processed and forms a primary user.
- the motor frame 5 is provided with known air sucking apertures or slots schematically indicated by 6.
- a cooling air stream is created by a ventilator fan 7. Said cooling air is drawn from the environment and conveyed through the motor in order to lap the warm parts thereof.
- the temperature of said warmed cooling air is of course a function of motor and operation parameters as, for instance, the dissipated motor power, the motor speed and construction, the rate of flow of the sucked air, the temperature thereof and so on.
- a device or plant comprising the installation 1 is indicated by 8.
- a cooling air receiving and conveying pipe 15 At the delivering or blowing end of said pipe is provided, for example, a head 16 whose width is essentially equal to the width of said belt or screen 14 and is tapered towards a blowing nozzle 17.
- the latter is configured as a box-like blade nozzle 17 whose rectangular blowing aperture has a width which is preferable bigger than the width of said belt or screen 14, whereas the height of said blowing aperture is in the range of, for example, 5 and 15 cm, preferably 10 cm, and more preferably 7 - 8 cm.
- blowing aperture of said blade nozzle 17 may be associated a diaphragm, not shown, operating for instance like a vertical sluice gate, which can be operated manually or with a motor, for example a step motor.
- Said diaphragm can be easily realized by a person skilled in the art and permits to adjust the delivered or blown rate of flow according to the features of the mixture to be respectively treated or processed, that is the nature, the granulometry, the specific gravity, and the quantities of the mixture components.
- the mixture flow or stream 13 falls from the end 19 of said belt or screen 14 and forms a mixture curtain 20 which falls by gravity along the falling path
- the blade-like nozzle 17 faces said mixture curtain 20 and is mounted parallel and transversally with respect to said curtain 20, and at a distance therefrom of, for example, 5 to 15 cm, preferably of 10 cm.
- the reference numerals 22 and 23 (Fig. 3) indicate sidewalls defining the width of the falling path 21.
- an adjusting means for adjusting the delivered air flow for example a throttle valve 29 and/or a gravity hinged cover 30 for exhausting the possibly exceeding air quantity.
- Said throttle valve 29 can be operated manually or automatically by means of a motor, for instance a step motor, controlled by the control unit or computer ofthe not shown separation plant.
- a motor for instance a step motor
- the cover 30 is illustrated with full line in its closed position and with dashed line in a partially open position during operation.
- the latter can be coated outside and/or inside with an heat insulating material, for example plastics or rubber, or it consists of said material.
- the heavy components 12 are not essentially affected by the blowing action and may slightly vary their vertical falling trajectory but do not pass the partition wall 25 and fall onto the foot 26 or conveying belt 26', whose driving wheel is indicated by 26".
- the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 differs from that one shown in Fig. 2 and 3 by the fact that the separation ofthe light components 11 from the heavy ones
- the blade nozzle 17 is provided on a sucking leg 15' like a Venturi tube 32 provided at the exhausting end of said cooling air receiving and conveying pipe 15.
- the exhausting direction of the cooling air is indicated by arrows f, whereas the direction ofthe sucked air, that is the air trailing the light components 11, is indicated by arrows fl .
- the sucking nozzle aperture faces the underlying belt or screen 14.
- said leg or nozzle 17 extends parallel and obliquely with respect to said belt or screen 14.
- Downstream the exhausting end 33 of said pipe 15 is provided a container 34 for collecting the removed light components 11.
- Also with said container 34 can be associated a not shown discharging belt for the separated light parts 11.
- the heavy parts or components 12 pass below said sucking nozzle 17 in the direction of arrow F3 and fall along the falling path 21 onto a discharging belt 26' as shown in Fig. 2.
- FIG. 6 and 7 showing an embodiment similar to that illustrated in Fig. 2 and 3, however adapted for the use of a powerful primary user motor 2.
- the cooling air receiving and conveying pipe is indicated by 15, the exhausting or blowing nozzle by 17, the secondary user, i. e. the separation stage, by 10 and the conveyor belt or separating screen by 14.
- Said motor 2 drives, as the primary user, for example, said vibrating separating screen 14 or the underlying driving wheel 26" of the conveyor belt 26'.
- Said latter case has the advantage that the unit motor 2-driving wheel 26" is provided near the secondary user 10, that is said mixture falling path 21 , so that the length of said pipe 15 is rather short and the loss of pressure due to friction in pipe 15 is negligible.
- the motor 2 is ducted into a jacket 40.
- said jacket 40 has a flat bottom 41 supporting a bracket 42 supporting the motor 2.
- the jacket 40 is connected to the pipe 15 by means of a correspondent interposed union 44 which engages the adjacent end of said jacket 40 and pipe 15, respectively.
- the connections can take place by means of a plurality of schematically shown screws 45 or a clip 47 or the like.
- the union 44 can advantageously be provided with a not shown flange or bracket for securing the unit jacket 40-motor 2 to the plant structure.
- a connecting chamber 48 having an axial length s.
- Said connecting chamber 48 is, therefore, provided between a cooling air path lapping the motor 2 inside the jacket and an air path downstream said ventilator fan 7.
- Fig. 6 shows that between the motor outside diameter d and the jacket inside diameter D is formed an air space 49. The cooling air sucked by the ventilator fan 7 flows through the motor and onto the motor frame in the air space 49 as shown by arrow F 4.
- Fig. 6 shows further that the diameter of fan 7 is smaller than the inside diameter D of jacket 40.
- Dl is indicated the inside diameter of pipe 15.
- Dl increase of course the air speed and pressure in said pipe 15.
- the ventilator fan 7 has an outside diameter of 50 cm and 7 blades.
- the cooling air exhausting or blowing nozzle is configured as a box-like beam nozzle having a bigger height than the blade nozzle 17 of Fig.
- the connecting chamber 48 enables the cooling air flowing through the motor inside and said air space 49 to freely enter the pipe 15 without any formations of bottlenecks or cloggings in the air flowing path, so that the limitations ofthe rate of flow ofthe cooling air and the drawbacks thereof set forth in the introductory part are efficiently avoided.
- the beam-like air stream leaving the nozzle 17 will impinge a height of, for example, 40 cm of the mixture falling path 21, so that onto the light components 11 will be exerted a soft taking up or trailing action, thus avoiding a rotational movement on themselves of said light components or spin thereof as well as a stall action of said light components.
- the single light components are, therefore, pushed by the blowing air in a progressive way in said stream height of 40 cm. This results in a downwardly inclined trajectory of the light components as if the latter would slide on a sloping side of a virtual wedge.
- said beam-like nozzle 17 can be provided with a control means for adjusting the rate of flow as set forth for the blade-like nozzle 17 of the embodiments shown in Fig.2, 3 and 4.
- Separation devices or stages similar to those shown in Fig. 2, 3; 4 and 6, 7 can of course be also used for the separation of mixtures different from rubble and having light components separable by a blowing or sucking action.
