Description
Device including a compact spray nozzle for cleaning a filter cloth in a disc filter Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for cleaning a filter cloth of at least one filter element in a rotary disc filter, comprising at least one flushing tube, the centre axis of which is located essentially between two adjacent parallel filter elements, and which includes at least one outlet arranged in a direction other than towards the respective filter cloth, and at least one spray nozzle connected to said outlet.
Background Art In WO 00/37159, a disc filter is described in which liquid is passed through one end of a rotary drum and on through openings in the periphery of the drum, radially outwards to at least one filter element. Each filter element includes a filter frame, which is covered by filter cloth on either side of the fil-ter frame. The disc filter also includes a flushing ramp, which extends parallel to the centre axis of the disc filter, outside the outer edge of the disc filter.
From the flushing ramp, a number of smaller flush tubes extend in a radial direction. The flush tubes are inserted between parallel filter elements. Pres-surised cleaning fluid is sprayed through the flushing ramp and the flush tubes, out through at last one spray nozzle towards the surface of the filter cloth, in a direction opposite the filtering direction, to clean away possible ac-cumulations from the filter cloth. The accumulations are flushed back inside the filter element and passed to a trough, which diverts the accumulations.
The spray nozzles may be arranged directed towards two parallel filter ele-ments for simultaneous cleaning of the filter elements.
A flushing device of this type requires that the nozzles are placed at a certain distance from the filter cloth, such that sufficient diffusion of the clean-ing fluid is achieved to give sufficient cleaning effect, especially in more clogged-up areas of the filter cloth.
In order to have room for inserting a flush tube and at the same time efficiently cleaning two parallel filter elements by placing the nozzles at said distance, it is necessary that the filter elements are arranged spaced a certain distance from each other.

In order to have room for inserting a flush tube and at the same time efficiently cleaning two parallel filter elements by placing the nozzles at said distance, it is necessary that the filter elements are arranged spaced a certain distance from each other.
2 Summary of the Invention An object of the present invention is to provide a flushing device for a disc filter, which efficiently cleans the filter elements and which exhibits a compact construction, such that it may be inserted in the space between two parallel filter elements. This space is decisive for how many filter elements can be arranged along a certain length of the disc filter and an additional ob-ject of the invention is to increase the capacity of the disc filter by reducing this space. According to an embodiment of the invention, these and other ob-jects are achieved by a device for cleaning a filter cloth of at least one filter element in a rotary disc filter, comprising at elast one flush tube, the centre axis of which is located essentially between two adjacent parallel filter ele-ments and comprising at least one outlet arranged in a direction other than towards the respective filter cloth, and at least one spray nozzle connected to said outlet, wherein the connection to the spray nozzle extends essentially parallel to said filter element, characterised in that the spray nozzle includes an angled redirecting channel for distribution of cleaning fluid in a direction towards the filter cloth of said filter element, and in that a plurality of spray nozzles are arranged in pairs around the flush tube and with their respective outlet openings located at a distance from the respective filter element which is larger than half the spacing between two adjacent parallel filter elements.
The spray nozzles arranged in pairs with their respective outlet openings at a distance from the respective filter element which is larger than half the space between two adjacent parallel filter elements lead to that a plurality of filter cloths or a larger portion of a filter cloth may be cleaned at the same time.
The spray nozzle may be arranged directly against the flush tube, but preferably the connection is part of an adapter, which at least partially ex-tends around the flush tube, wherein the spray nozzle is detachably arranged on the adapter. Hereby, the spray nozzle may easily be detached and cleaned when needed.
The outlet may be arranged through the far side of the flush tube in re-lation to said filter cloth, in order to make it possible for the distance to the filter cloth to be increased in comparison to an outlet arranged on the front of the flush tube.
The adapter advantageously includes a redirecting channel for passing the cleaning fluid from said outlet to said connection, wherein the flow direc-tion of the cleaning fluid is changed and led into the spray nozzle for distribu-tion of cleaning fluid in said direction towards the filter cloth.

3 The outlet opening of the spray nozzle is preferably located essentially behind the centre axis of the flush tube, in relation to said direction towards the filter cloth, which further increases the possibility of reducing the distance between the filter elements.
Advantageously, at least one flush tube is movable through an area which is defined by the circumference of the filter element. Hereby, it is possi-ble to clean all surfaces of all filter elements. The disc filter comprises a plu-rality of filter elements, which leads to a more effective disc filter, since a lar-ger volume of liquid may be filtered simultaneously.
The space between two adjacent filter elements is less than 16 cm, and preferably less than 12 cm. In known disc filters, 16 cm is normally a smallest distance between filter elements in the disc filter. With this device, the distance between the filter elements may be decreased, which leads to a disc filter with increased capacity at a maintained length of the disc filter, or, alternatively, a shorter disc filter at maintained capacity. Advantageously, said outlet opening of the respective spray nozzle is arranged between 7 and 8 cm from the respective filter cloth. At this distance, the cleaning is rendered effec-tive with an appropriate diffusion and an appropriate pressure of the cleaning fluid.

Figures 2a-d are side views of an adapter shown in Figure 1 and a spray nozzle.
Figure 3 is a sketch, which schematically shows a device with two flush tubes alternatively placed between two parallel filter elements of a disc filter in accordance with the invention.
Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments of the Invention The basic principle of a disc filter is that the fluid to be filtered is led in through one end of a central, rotary drum, and on through openings in the periphery of the drum, radially outwards to at least one filter element. The fil-
4 ter element is made up of a frame on which a filter cloth is arranged on either side of the frame. The liquid thus flows in between two filter cloths and is led from there in a filtering direction out through each filter cloth. Any particles in the liquid are caught on the inside of the filter cloth.
In Figures 1 and 3 part of a disc filter 1 is shown comprising a cleaning device 2. A pressurised cleaning fluid is passed through the cleaning device 2 and sprayed onto a filter cloth 4 of a filter element 3, in a direction opposite the filtering direction, in order to clean off any accumulations from the filter cloth 4. The accumulations are flushed back inside the filter element 3 and led to a trough (not shown), which diverts the accumulations.
The cleaning device 2 of the present invention for cleaning the filter cloth 4 of at least one filter element 3, in the rotary disc filter 1, comprises at least one flush tube 6, the centre axis 7 of which is located essentially be-tween two adjacent parallel filter elements 3, and comprises at least one out-let 9 arranged in a direction other than towards the respective filter cloth 4, and at least one spray nozzle 5 connected to said outlet 9, wherein the con-nection 13 to the spray nozzle 5 extends essentially parallel to said filter ele-ment 3, and the spray nozzle comprises an angled redirecting channel 14 for distribution of cleaning liquid in a direction towards the filter cloth 4 of said filter element 3.
The spray nozzle 5 may be arranged directly on the flush tube 6, but preferably the connection 13 is part of an adapter 11, which at least partially extends around the flush tube 6, the spray nozzle 5 being detachably ar-ranged on the adapter 11.
According to a preferred embodiment, the cleaning device 2 is made up of at last one spray nozzle 5. One or a plurality of spray nozzles 5 may be arranged on one or more flush tubes 6. The spray nozzles 5 may be directed in the same or different directions, depending on the current need. The outlet opening 8 of the spray nozzle 5 may preferably be arranged between 7 and 8 cm from the filter cloth, the stream of cleaning liquid from the spray nozzle 5 covering a sufficient portion of the filter cloth 4.
The flush tube 6 with the spray nozzle 5 may be moved parallel to a radial plane of the filter element 3, i.e. within the area the outer edge of which is defined by the periphery of the filter element 3.
The flush tube 6 is in turn arranged on a flushing ramp (not shown).
In Figures 1 and 3 part of a disc filter 1 is shown comprising a cleaning device 2. A pressurised cleaning fluid is passed through the cleaning device 2 and sprayed onto a filter cloth 4 of a filter element 3, in a direction opposite the filtering direction, in order to clean off any accumulations from the filter cloth 4. The accumulations are flushed back inside the filter element 3 and led to a trough (not shown), which diverts the accumulations.
The cleaning device 2 of the present invention for cleaning the filter cloth 4 of at least one filter element 3, in the rotary disc filter 1, comprises at least one flush tube 6, the centre axis 7 of which is located essentially be-tween two adjacent parallel filter elements 3, and comprises at least one out-let 9 arranged in a direction other than towards the respective filter cloth 4, and at least one spray nozzle 5 connected to said outlet 9, wherein the con-nection 13 to the spray nozzle 5 extends essentially parallel to said filter ele-ment 3, and the spray nozzle comprises an angled redirecting channel 14 for distribution of cleaning liquid in a direction towards the filter cloth 4 of said filter element 3.
The spray nozzle 5 may be arranged directly on the flush tube 6, but preferably the connection 13 is part of an adapter 11, which at least partially extends around the flush tube 6, the spray nozzle 5 being detachably ar-ranged on the adapter 11.
According to a preferred embodiment, the cleaning device 2 is made up of at last one spray nozzle 5. One or a plurality of spray nozzles 5 may be arranged on one or more flush tubes 6. The spray nozzles 5 may be directed in the same or different directions, depending on the current need. The outlet opening 8 of the spray nozzle 5 may preferably be arranged between 7 and 8 cm from the filter cloth, the stream of cleaning liquid from the spray nozzle 5 covering a sufficient portion of the filter cloth 4.
The flush tube 6 with the spray nozzle 5 may be moved parallel to a radial plane of the filter element 3, i.e. within the area the outer edge of which is defined by the periphery of the filter element 3.
The flush tube 6 is in turn arranged on a flushing ramp (not shown).
5 The flushing ramp extends parallel to the centre axis (not shown) of the disc filter 1, outside the periphery of said at least one filter element 3. At least one flush tube 6 extends from the flushing ramp and is rotatably arranged in order to be able to be pivoted in between two parallel filter elements 3, the spray nozzle 5 preferably being arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the filter cloth 4. Alternatively, the spray nozzle 5 may be arranged at another angle to the surface of the filter cloth 4. The outlet opening 4 may also, in some em-bodiments, be directed at another angle to the filter cloth 4.
The filter elements of a disc filter are usually arranged with a spacing of more than 16 cm. According to a preferred embodiment, this spacing is re-duced, preferably to less than 12 cm. In known disc filters, the flush tube has a diameter of about 2 cm, and with a spacing of 7 cm between the respective outlet opening and the surface of the filter cloth a spacing between two paral-lel filter elements of at least 16 cm is required.
As may be seen from Figure 1, an outlet opening 8 of the spray nozzle 5 is essentially located behind the centre axis 7 of the flush tube, in relation to said direction towards the filter cloth 4. By placing the outlet openings 8 be-hind the centre axis 7 of the flush tube 6, according to the present embodi-ment, the spacing may be reduced to about 12 cm, and in the example shown, the distance is about 11 cm. Hereby, a known disc filter which previ-ously comprised 24 filter elements may, for instance, be expanded to com-prise 30 filter elements with a maintained length of the disc filter. Through the present invention it is thus possible to increase the capacity of the disc filter further, which was earlier not possible, since the length of the drum of the disc filter is limiting the maximum length of the disc filter.
As may be seen from Figure 1, an adapter 11 for the respective spray nozzle 5 is arranged at least partially around the flush tube 6 and comprises an outlet 9 arranged through the far side of the flush tube 6 in relation to the respective filter cloth 4.

Through the present invention it is thus possible to increase the capacity of the disc filter further, which was earlier not possible, since the length of the drum of the disc filter is limiting the maximum length of the disc filter.
As may be seen from Figure 1, an adapter 11 for the respective spray nozzle 5 is arranged at least partially around the flush tube 6 and comprises an outlet 9 arranged through the far side of the flush tube 6 in relation to the respective filter cloth 4. A redirecting channel 10 extends through the adapter
6 11 and leads the cleaning liquid from said outlet 9 to said connection 13. The nozzle 5 comprises a curved channel 14, which leads to an outlet opening 8, which is located behind the centre axis 7 of the flush tube 6, as may be seen from Figure 1, in relation to the surface of the filter cloth 4. The outlet opening 8 in itself is advantageously integrated in the spray nozzle 5, which is detach-ably attached to the adapter 11, in order to be more easily cleaned or ex-changed if needed. Suitably, two analogous adapters 11 are mounted to each other around the flush tube 6 by means of screws or similar means. Naturally, they may also be permanently joined together or with the flush tube 6 by glu-ing or similar. The adapter 11 is preferably made of a plastic material, and the nozzle 5 may be made of plastic and preferably comprises a ceramic material in the actual outlet opening 8. The flush tube 6 may be made of plastic or metal.
In Figures 2a-2d, the construction of the adapter 11 of Figure 1 may be seen more clearly. The redirecting channel 10 extends from the outlet 9 to the connection 13, and on through the nozzle 5 to the outlet opening 8. The redi-recting channel 10 is shown with an increasing cross section through the adapter 11, but may also exhibit a constant cross section. The spray nozzle 5, which may be constituted by a sleeve with an integrated outlet opening 8, or with a separate nozzle, is by a bayonet coupling 12 detachably attached to the adapter 11. Threads could also be employed to this end. A seal (not shown) may be arranged in a groove 15 between the adapter 11 and the spray nozzle 5. Because the connection 13 extends parallel to the filter ele-ment, the bayonet coupling will also extend in this direction, and will not influ-ence the distance in the direction perpendicular to the filter element. A
through hole 16 and a socket 17 are present for enabling screwing together of two adapters around the flush tube (not shown). A semicircular recess 18 is adapted to correspond to the outside of the flush tube, but naturally, other shapes of the recess 18 would be conceivable for other types of flush tubes.
As may be seen from Figure 3, a corresponding adapter 11 for the re-spective spray nozzle 5 is arranged at least partially around the flush tube 6, and comprises an outlet 9 arranged through the side of the flush tube 6 and leads the cleaning liquid from said outlet 9 to said connection 13.

7 nozzle 5 comprises a curved channel 14, which leads to an outlet opening 8, which by shifting of the respective flush tube 6 is located at a distance from the respective filter element, which is larger than half the spacing between two adjacent parallel filter elements. The spray nozzle 5 is constructed in the same way as in Figure 1, and because the connection thus extends parallel to the filter element, the bayonet coupling 12 will also extend in this direction and will not affect the distance in the direction perpendicular to the filter ele-ment.
It will be readily appreciated that modifications of the embodiments de-scribed herein are possible within the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims. The cleaning device 2 may be made in alternative ways, and may, e.g., be made up of components other than flushing ramp and flush tube 6. The cleaning device 2 may be of a smaller size than stated.
The parameters used for calculating the distance between the spray nozzle 5 and the filter cloth 4 may be other than the ones stated herein. Different parts of the device, such as flushing ramp or flush tube 6 may be movable, both single parts or several in combination. Further, the cleaning device 2 may be used for cleaning other devices apart from disc filters 1.
