Abstract

Centrifuge decanter in which the two motors 1 and 6 of the bowl 5 and of the screw 8 are connected via frequency converters 9 and 10 whose DC circuits are connected together. <IMAGE>

Description

Une décanteuse centrifuge comprend une vis convoyeuse contenue dans un bol, notamment cylindroconique, de même axe principal que la vis. Le bol est entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique principal à une vitesse différente de la vis qui est entraînée en rotation par un moteur électrique secondaire et par un réducteur.A centrifugal decanter comprises a conveyor screw contained in a bowl, in particular cylindroconical, with the same main axis as the screw. The bowl is rotated by a main electric motor at a different speed from the screw which is rotated by a secondary electric motor and by a reduction gear.

Au US-2 867 378, on décrit une machine de ce genre, dans laquelle une partie de l'énergie d'entrainement, correspondant au freinage de l'arbre d'entrée du réducteur, est retournée au moteur principal. On ne peut pas faire varier la vitesse du bol. Pour faire varier la différence de vitesse entre le bol et la vis convoyeuse, il faut démonter et changer de poulie. Or il importe de pouvoir modifier la vitesse du bol, qui régit la clarification du produit à traiter, et la vitesse différentielle, qui régit l'humidité du solide extrait.In US-2,867,378, a machine of this kind is described, in which part of the drive energy, corresponding to the braking of the input shaft of the reducer, is returned to the main motor. You cannot vary the speed of the bowl. To vary the speed difference between the bowl and the conveyor screw, it is necessary to disassemble and change the pulley. However, it is important to be able to modify the speed of the bowl, which governs the clarification of the product to be treated, and the differential speed, which governs the humidity of the solid extracted.

L'invention pallie ces inconvénients par une décanteuse centrifuge comprenant des convertisseurs de fréquence principal et secondaire dont les sorties de circuits de courant alternatif sont reliées électriquement respectivement aux moteurs principal et secondaire. Les bornes positives des circuits de courant continu des deux convertisseurs sont reliées électriquement entre elles, leurs bornes négatives étant également reliées électriquement entre elles.The invention overcomes these drawbacks with a centrifugal decanter comprising main and secondary frequency converters whose outputs of alternating current circuits are electrically connected to the main and secondary motors respectively. The positive terminals of the DC circuits of the two converters are electrically connected to each other, their negative terminals also being electrically connected to each other.

Grâce au couplage des circuits continus des convertisseurs de fréquence, on récupère l'énergie du moteur seccndaire travaillant en frein et on transmet cette énergie au moteur principal, mais grâce à la présence, des circuits de courant alternatif, qui peuvent être commandés indépendamment par des unités de commande, on peut régler les vitesses, alors même que la machine est en fonctionnement.Thanks to the coupling of the continuous circuits of the frequency converters, we recover the energy of the secondary motor working in brake and we transmit this energy to the main motor, but thanks to the presence of alternating current circuits, which can be controlled independently by control units, the speeds can be adjusted while the machine is in operation.

De préférence, une diode est montée entre le convertisseur de fréquence secondaire et le convertisseur de fréquence principal de manière à interdire le passage du courant continu du convertisseur de fréquence principal au convertisseur de fréquence secondaire et à ne permettre le passage du courant que dans le sens opposé.Preferably, a diode is mounted between the secondary frequency converter and the main frequency converter so as to prevent the passage of direct current from the main frequency converter to the secondary frequency converter and to allow the passage of current only in the direction opposite.

Au dessin annexé, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple :In the attached drawing, given solely by way of example:

La figure unique est un schéma d'une décanteuse centrifuge suivant l'invention.The single figure is a diagram of a centrifugal decanter according to the invention.

La décanteuse centrifuge comprend un moteur principal 1 entraînant par une courroie 2 un arbre principal 3 en rotation. L'arbre fait tourner la couronne extérieure d'un réducteur 4 et entraîne ainsi un bol 5 cylindroconique en rotation.The centrifugal decanter comprises a main motor 1 driving a rotating main shaft 3 by a belt 2. The shaft rotates the outer ring of a reduction gear 4 and thus drives a cylindrical-conical bowl 5 in rotation.

Un moteur secondaire 6 entraîne, dans le même sens que l'arbre principal, un arbre secondaire 7 qui, par l'intermédiaire du réducteur 4, entraîne une vis 8 à l'intérieur du bol cylindroconique à une vitesse de rotation supérieure à celle à laquelle tourne le bol 5. La sortie du circuit 9a de courant alternatif d'un convertisseur de fréquence principal 9 est reliée électriquement au moteur principal 1. La sortie du circuit 10a de courant alternatif d'un couvertisseur de fréquence secondaire 10 est reliée électriquement au moteur électrique secondaire 6. Les bornes positives et négatives des circuits 9c et 10c de courant continu des deux convertisseurs de fréquence 9 et 10 sont reliées respectivement entre elles, une diode 11 étant montée entre les deux bornes positives de manière à autoriser le passage du courant continu du convertisseur de fréquence 10 au convertisseur de fréquence 9, mais à l'interdire en sens opposé.A secondary motor 6 drives, in the same direction as the main shaft, a secondary shaft 7 which, via the reduction gear 4, drives a screw 8 inside the cylindroconical bowl at a speed of rotation greater than that at which turns the bowl 5. The output of the alternating current circuit 9a of a main frequency converter 9 is electrically connected to the main motor 1. The output of the alternating current circuit 10a of a secondary frequency cover 10 is electrically connected to the secondary electric motor 6. The positive and negative terminals of the direct current circuits 9c and 10c of the two frequency converters 9 and 10 are respectively connected together, a diode 11 being mounted between the two positive terminals so as to allow the passage of current frequency converter 10 to the frequency converter 9, but to prohibit it in the opposite direction.

Les fréquences des courants passant dans les circuits 9a et 10a sont commandées par des unités de commande 11,12 respectives par l'intermédiaire de potentiomètres 13,14, ce qui permet de régler les vitesses même lorsque la machine fonctionne.The frequencies of the currents flowing in the circuits 9a and 10a are controlled by respective control units 11,12 via potentiometers 13,14, which makes it possible to adjust the speeds even when the machine is operating.

En fonctionnement, l'énergie de freinage récupérée par le convertisseur de fréquence 10 est transmise par l'intermédiaire du convertisseur de fréquence 9 au moteur 1, au lieu d'avoir à être dissipée dans des résistances ou autres.In operation, the braking energy recovered by the frequency converter 10 is transmitted via the frequency converter 9 to the motor 1, instead of having to be dissipated in resistors or the like.
