Definitions
- the invention relates to a chain magnetic separator with horizontally arranged magnetic filter rods, which are transported by endlessly rotating conveyor chains or the like at equal intervals and in parallel to each other through the liquid to be cleaned and which pass through a cleaning device above the liquid, in which the magnetic filter rods with the help of straight in their Dirt wipers guided in the longitudinal direction are cleaned, which engage around the magnetic filter rods with recesses shaped according to the profile of the magnetic filter rods.
- a device of the generic type is known from German patent DE-C-24 29 849.
- the dirt wipers are carried by pairs of endless chains. A pair is arranged above and a pair below the magnetic filter rods, the dirt wipers attached to the chains are provided with semicircular recesses, so that a Pair of dirt scrapers can clean the entire surface of a filter rod.
- the magnetic filter rods are moved one cycle at a time, so that two or three magnetic filter rods lying next to one another are coated simultaneously with appropriately long dirt wipers with several semicircular recesses lying next to one another. In this way, each magnetic rod is stripped several times before it is immersed again in the liquid to be cleaned.
- the dirt removed from the magnetic filter rods with the aid of the dirt wipers is prevented from falling back into the liquid by a discharge device arranged below the cleaning device.
- the known chain magnetic separator with the rotating chains carrying the dirt wipers is mechanically very complex, the device is subject to high wear and tear because the stripped sludge falls on the lower chains and is maintenance-intensive.
- the space requirement is also very high due to the chains, the required deflection devices and the drive kinematics. In order to achieve an exact wiping of the magnetic filter rods, a high adjustment accuracy is necessary.
- the object of the present invention is, based on the prior art described above, to provide a chain magnetic separator with a cleaning device which is not substantially larger than the container holding the liquid to be cleaned and which is simple and robust in terms of mechanics, and with commercially available components is to be created.
- the dirt wipers above the magnetic filter rods are arranged on a slide which is part of a linear cylinder, preferably a rodless cylinder, and that the slide and / or the cylinder can be raised and lowered vertically on the frame of the chain magnetic separator relative to the magnetic filter rods is arranged.
- the replacement of the complex chain pairs for driving the dirt wipers with linear cylinders enables the use of a commercially available component that also replaces the previous drive in an extremely space-saving manner with little mechanics.
- the arrangement of the dirt wipers on the slide moved by the linear cylinder in particular a rodless cylinder, enables the dirt wipers to be lifted by vertical movement of the slide and / or the cylinder. In the raised state, the conveyor chain can be moved one cycle before the dirt wipers are lowered into the working position with the carriage and / or the cylinder.
- the carriage and / or the cylinder are raised and lowered by vertical lifting cylinders being articulated on both sides of the linear cylinder.
- lifting cylinders which are operated in synchronism, the entire device is lifted and brought out of the rotating area of the rotating magnetic filter rods.
- the dirt wipers can be moved from a rest position above the magnetic filter rods into the wiping position in which each dirt wiper engages around the entire circumference of a magnetic filter rod, the recesses of the dirt wipers with radial, the magnetic filter rods facing, in the longitudinal direction extending slots are provided, which can be spread apart when the dirt wipers on the lateral surface of the reduced diameter magnetic filter rods in the end region by means of bevels diverging to the slots.
- the use of vertically divided scraper elements enables the dirt scraper to be designed in a simple manner, for example from an elastic material such as Vulkolan or the like. Such a material enables the dirt wipers to “latch” into the magnetic filter rods, preferably at the end of the magnetic filter rods, which has a smaller diameter than the magnetic part of the rods.
- the dirt wipers used in this way are simple to manufacture, inexpensive to purchase and are easily centered on the magnetic filter rods.
- the dirt wipers can be moved from a rest position above the magnetic filter rods in the working position between two adjacent magnetic filter rods, the dirt wipers being arranged on the slide and pivoting about a vertical central axis by 90 degrees with diametrically opposed plates that are open to the outside there are semicircular recesses which each encompass half a magnetic filter rod profile in a swivel position (stripping position).
- 1 denotes the container into which the liquid to be cleaned of magnetic particles is introduced at 2.
- a distributor plate 3 is arranged, which is provided with holes for the cleaned liquid.
- the conveyor chain 4 is guided around the U-shaped curved distributor plate and can be moved in cycles via a chain wheel with an intermittently loaded piston-cylinder drive 6.
- the conveyor chain 4 consists of two spaced-apart chain hoists, which carry the magnetic bars 5 between them and guide them in cycles through the liquid in the container 1. During the movement of the magnetic rods 5 through the liquid, magnetic and also non-magnetic dirt settles on the magnetic filter rods 5, which must be removed from the magnetic filter rods after each complete circulation of the conveyor chain 4 by the liquid.
- the cleaning device 7 to be described later is arranged above the conveyor chain 4 and the magnetic filter rods 5, with the aid of which the magnetic filter rods are freed from dirt.
- the dirt removed from the magnetic filter rods falls into the discharge trough 8 below the cleaning device 7, in which a screw conveyor 9 is rotatably mounted, which causes the dirt to be transported out of the discharge trough 8.
- the filtrate collecting inside the distributor plate 3 is removed from the container 1 at 10.
- FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the cleaning device according to the invention as it is used for stripping off the magnetic filter rods.
- the cleaning device 7 is arranged inside the housing 11 on the container 1.
- the magnetic filter rods 5 are guided on both sides by the conveyor chains 4 transported through the lower region of the housing 11 of the cleaning device 7 and stopped in cycles.
- a rodless cylinder 12 is arranged in the housing 11, above and parallel to the magnetic filter rods 5.
- This rodless cylinder 12 carries on its lower side the slide 13, on which stripper elements 14, which extend downward, are arranged.
- the stripper elements 14 are designed as plates which can each be pivoted through 90 degrees about their vertical central axis 15.
- a pivot cylinder 16 is used, which acts on the dirt wipers 14 via a lever linkage 17, 18.
- the plates of the dirt wipers are provided with semicircular recesses 19 which correspond to half the profile of the magnetic filter rods.
- a recess 19 engages around an adjacent magnetic filter rod, which is wiped off in the direction of movement 20 by moving the slide 13 via the rodless cylinder 14.
- the stripped dirt falls down into the trough 21 of the screw conveyor 22, which, driven at 23, transports the dirt to the sludge discharge 24.
- lifting cylinders 25 are provided on both sides of the rodless cylinder 12, which, acting vertically, are articulated at 27 on the one hand on the housing 11 and on the other hand on the levers 26 carrying the rodless cylinder 12.
- the lifting cylinder 25 is acted upon, the rodless cylinder 12 and with it the slide 13 are raised together with the wipers 14.
- FIG. 3 the area of the magnetic filter rods 5, which is streaked by the wipers 14, is shown in an enlarged detail.
- the conveyor chain 4 is shown in the left half of the drawing.
- the magnetic filter rods 5 are articulated to it at 28.
- the swivel device for the wipers 14 is shown above the magnetic filter rods 5.
- the wipers 14 With the - also rodless - swivel cylinder 16, which engages with a driver 29 in the bolt 30 of a lever 18, the wipers 14 are pivoted via the levers 17 connected to the lever 18 at 31, in each case by 90 degrees to their end position.
- the wipers 14 together with the rodless cylinder 12 can be lifted out of the space between the magnetic filter rods 5, the locking device 32 (FIG. 2) simultaneously releasing the conveyor chain 4 for cyclical further transport in the raised state.
- the locking device serves to center the magnetic filter rods 5 during the stripping process and at the same time gives the conveyor chain 4 and the magnetic filter rods 5 the necessary hold
- the dirt wipers 14 are guided by lowering the lifting cylinder 25 into the space between the magnetic filter rods 5 and pivoted there by means of the lever system 16, 17, 18, 30 and 31 by 90 degrees so that the semicircular recesses 19 of the dirt wipers 14 each encompass half the profile of an adjacent magnetic filter rod.
- the middle of the magnetic filter rods shown is detected on both sides by a dirt wiper 14, so that the two recesses 19 of the two dirt wipers 14 clean the middle rod on all sides.
- the two outer magnetic filter rods 5 are each only half coated by the wiper 14; there however a cyclical transport of the magnetic filter rods 5 is provided in one and the same direction, all magnetic filter rods 5 are finally cleaned the same number of times by the wipers.
- FIG. 1 Another embodiment of the dirt wipers is shown in FIG.
- the rodless cylinder 12 also carries a slide 13 on which three dirt wipers 14 are arranged on a holder 33.
- the dirt wipers 14 enclose the entire circumference of the magnetic filter rods 5 arranged underneath.
- the dirt wipers 14 consist of an elastic vulcanized material and are continuously slotted at 34 on their undersides. The slot runs radially in the direction of the magnetic filter rods 5 and ends on the outside in bevels 35 which diverge into the slots 34.
- the magnetic filter rods 5 are thinner in diameter at one end 36.
- the dirt wipers 14 are placed, in which, by lowering the lifting cylinder 25, the rodless cylinder 12 is moved down together with the slide 13 and the holder 33, as a result of which the slits 34 are spread out by means of the bevels 35 and the diameter at the end 36 the magnetic filter rods 5 are pressed. Thereafter, the stripping process in the direction designated by 20 in Figure 2 is initiated by acting on the rodless cylinder 12.
