Definitions
- the present invention is about a metal belt continuous cooler for castings or other high temperature molten material.
- the conveyor comprises a metal conveyor belt moving means and a properly equipped metal tunnel.
- the castings are supplied to the conveyor, they continue to run on the metal belt in the cooling tunnel without risk of impacts and/or entanglements, and the operators can work on the same conveyor belt with absolute confidence.
- Figure 1 is a basic schematic view of the whole device, comprising its cleaning system
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of the device configured with the tunnel at a negative pressure with respect to the environment and with air inlet conduits;
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of the device configured with the tunnel at a positive pressure with respect to the external environment
- Figure 4 is an axonometric view of the steel metal belt moving means
- Figure 5 is a side view of the steel metal belt moving means
- Figure 6 is a schematic sectional view of the metal conveyor belt without fines recovery system
- Figure 7 is a schematic sectional view of the metal conveyor belt with cleaning system
- Figure 8 is a schematic sectional view of the metal conveyor belt with "air blade” seal, with a detail of the seal. It should be noted that same reference numbers in the various Figures indicate the same or equivalent components.
- the conveyor 1 described in the present invention comprises a metal conveyor belt 2 moving means, properly covered with a metal tunnel 3, activated by powered mechanisms (not shown in the drawings attached to this application).
- the conveyor belt moving means 2 consists of a belt 8 woven with special steel, to which a series of partially overlapping steel plates 9 is fixed.
- the peculiar method for fixing the steel plates 9 to the belt 8 provides for a closed, virtually watertight channel.
- the conveyor belt 2 resists higher temperatures than those tolerated by any other conveyor, because the steel plates 9 are free to expand in each direction.
- Accidental events, which can cause the breaking of elements of the device 8, 9 do not compromise the reliability of the conveyor belt 2, which continues to run without risk of unexpected stops.
- Castings 4 are inserted in the conveyor by proper feeding means (not shown in the drawings) and they cover the available surface of the conveyor belt 2 in order to optimize stay times of said castings in the cooling metal tunnel 3.
- a controlled air flow captured from external environment covers the castings 4 running on the conveyor belt, in order to obtain a thermal decrease by forced convection.
- the suction air outlet conduit 7 can be placed in the middle of the metal tunnel 3, in order to form a length with an air flow in the same direction of the castings and another length with an opposite air flow (Figure 1).
- air entrance can also be performed through properly dimensioned conduits 14, designed to introduce air and placed at the opposite ends of the metal tunnel ( Figure 2).
- This method of cooling air treatment provides for a negative pressure inside the tunnel 3 with respect to the environment, thus preventing air and dust contained in the cooler to exit in uncontrolled way.
- an "air blade" sealing system 17 is a part of the present invention, consisting of a series of nozzles or openings placed from the outside in the direction of the free section between the conveyor belt side fins and said fins protection plate (Figure 7).
- the air blade 17 has the purpose to limit the fluid consisting of cooling air which flows in orthogonal direction, avoiding the uncontrolled emission and the consequent external environment pollution.
- a series of nozzles 5 for atomizing cooling water contributes to obtain the castings desired temperature at the metal tunnel 3 outlet.
- Disposition, flow rate and number of cooling water atomizing nozzles 5 are defined depending on stay time inside the tunnel 1, material 4 flow rate and cooling fluid speed.
- Atomizing nozzles 5 intervention can be controlled by a PLC (not shown in the drawings), which manages the signal coming from temperature sensors 6 placed inside the metal tunnel 3.
- PLC not shown in the drawings
- baffles (not shown in the drawings) able to generate air flow turbulence and improve the thermal exchange by forced convection.
- the conveyor 1 can additionally be provided with a cleaning system 16 positioned under the conveyor belt 2 and placed at the return section, to avoid that any fine material adherent to the plates can fall and cause accumulations in the area beneath the tunnel. Utilization of said cleaning system 16 is determined by the presence of any fine material and by said fine material adhesion features to the plates.
- a castings signaling system (not shown in the drawings), mechanic or with photoelectric cell, to co-ordinate the belt speed with the feeding rate of the castings in order to optimize their arrangement on the belt during the cooling operation.
- the feed speed of the conveyor belt 2 can be adjusted according to the signal coming from said temperature sensors 6 and to the signal, belonging to the production unit, which identifies the feeding rate of the castings 4 to the conveyor.
