Sieve and screen element
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of screen element (screen element) that is suitable for being arranged in the screen frame, its have be suitable for being arranged in screen frame vertically on longitudinal side and the horizontal side transversely that is suitable for being arranged in screen frame.The invention still further relates to a kind of sieve, it has screen frame and is arranged in the screen element in the screen frame, screen element have be arranged in screen frame vertically on longitudinal side and the horizontal side transversely that is arranged in screen frame.
Background technology
The screen element of the above-mentioned type is known with sieve, for example from EP-A-26961 and US-RE38, among the 303E, wherein discloses the dissimilar sieves with the screen element that is arranged in the screen frame.
These sieves are compared with the sieve in epoch more early has several advantages, because each screen element can change when wearing and tearing, and this replacing is simple relatively, can need not much to work and equip under carry out.
Because the sieve plate of the above-mentioned type receives longitudinal force and has the screen element on the framework that is arranged in the bar that comprises longitudinal register, screen element must more or less lock to prevent its slip in the vertical.Realize that so a kind of usual manner is the sidewall that is threaded into screen frame.
Screen element should have big as far as possible active surface.Active surface is subject to the rigidity of screen element usually, because more low intensive screen element need be with short spaced apart supporting section, and the invalid surface that this has caused screen element to increase.But, let whole compass screen surface constitute and the number of the strong point is reduced to the minimum favourable possibility that do not constitute by single screen element.This method can provide maximum surface really, but its cost is very high operating cost, because under the situation of concentrated wear, also must change whole sieve plate (screen deck).
Therefore hope to obtain a kind of sieve plate, and be easy to change discrete component on it with big active surface and high stability.
WO 89/08509 discloses so-called step deck (step deck), and the screen element of promptly wherein arranging continuously overlaps each other to form the sieve on step screen surface.
