Definitions

  • the invention relates to a screen cleaner, in particular for the screen frames of plan sifters, as are used in mill operations for screening (sifting) the ground products.
  • a so-called square plan sifter is known from practice, in which the individual screen frames stacked one above the other have an essentially square outline shape.
  • Each sieve frame has a rectangular insert frame which is provided with a sieve covering.
  • the insertion frame is directly adjacent to the outer sieve frame on one side where the visible material is fed in, while on the three remaining sides product channels for removing the sieve overflow and the sieve diarrhea are incorporated into the outer sieve frame.
  • a further differentiation of the visible products is made possible by the fact that additional product channels are formed between the outer periphery of the sieve frame and a box-shaped sieve housing which accommodates the entire sieve stack.
  • the entire sieve compartment i.e. the sieve housing with one or more sieve stacks, is set in a horizontal circular oscillation during the viewing process.
  • Each sieve frame has a smooth bottom on which a freely movable floor scraper rests.
  • a corrugated grid for supporting screen cleaning bodies is arranged between the floor and the screen covering.
  • the screen cleaning bodies are formed, for example, by short pieces of braided belt material, which are provided with a metal button on the underside and which are excited to vibrate during their random movements over the corrugated grille, so that they easily strike against the screen covering.
  • This design of the screen cleaner causes considerable noise and contributes to a relatively high total weight of the screen frame.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a screen cleaner that enables a weight-saving and simple construction of the screen frame and with which a good cleaning effect can still be achieved.
  • the corrugated grids of the conventional screen frames can be omitted.
  • the cleaning of the sieve is also supported here by blows against the sieve covering, since the sieve cleaning bodies always have the tendency during their movement to tip over the lower end of their stem-like foot and thus strike the sieve covering with their outer upper edges. Tests have shown that the cleaning effect that can be achieved in this way is at least equal to the effect of conventional screen cleaning bodies on corrugated grids.
  • the screen cleaning body preferably has the shape of a three-armed star. Due to the cantilevered arms of the star, a high moment of inertia is achieved during the tilting movement with a relatively low overall weight, so that sufficiently violent blows are exerted on the fabric.
  • the star-shaped design also has the advantage that the arms of the screen cleaning body can penetrate well into the corners of the screen, so that an effective cleaning of the screen covering is also achieved there. While conventional sieve cleaning bodies made of belt material are rounded at the corners over time so that they can no longer penetrate into the corners of the sieve, the star-shaped sieve cleaning body retains its star-shaped shape even with partial wear.
  • the screen cleaning body preferably consists of a rubber-elastic plastic, so that at most very little wear occurs.
  • the spring action of the arms of the star when it hits the walls of the sieve frame also stimulates the sieve cleaning body to move violently, so that the cleaning effect is enhanced while on the other hand, due to the flexibility of the arms, excessive strain on the fabric is avoided. Because of these properties, the star-shaped screen cleaning body is also an advantage for conventional screen frames with corrugated grids.
  • the sieve cleaning element can also be combined with the floor clearers that are already on the sieve bottom. This enables a shortening of the stick-like foot and thus a saving in weight and a shortening of the tilting radius. Another advantage is that the engagement of the foot of the screen cleaning body in the floor scraper prevents the latter from being thrown out of the screen frame through the discharge slot for screen diarrhea.
  • An impact body is advantageously arranged on the sieve bottom, approximately below the middle of the sieve covering. While it can be observed with conventional screen cleaning bodies and screen frames that the screen cleaning body is mostly in the central region of the screen, the impact body has the function of driving the screen cleaning body into the edge and corner areas of the screen by frequent collisions.
  • a sieve compartment 10 of a plan sifter has a cylindrical sieve housing 12 which accommodates a number of sieve frames 14 stacked one above the other and exactly aligned with one another.
  • the sieve frames 14 are held at the corners by vertically extending strips 16 which are triangular in cross section and which are fastened to the inner wall of the sieve housing 12.
  • the sieve housing 12 is formed by two half-shells 18 made of aluminum sheet, which are detachably screwed together in a dividing plane running through two diagonally opposite corners of the sieve frame 14 via vertically extending flanges 20. After loosening one of the half-shells 18, the inserted screen frames 14 can be easily removed.
  • the segments of the half-shells 18 formed between the strips 16 each have a vertically extending, approximately trapezoidal stiffening profile 22 made of aluminum sheet on the inside.
  • the surfaces of the half-shells 18 and the stiffening profiles 22 and the strips 16 facing the interior of the screen housing are provided with a lining made of food-compatible, foamed plastic, felt or the like, which is not specified in any more detail.
  • the screen frame 14 has a cross grating 26 provided on its upper side with a screen covering 24, which is formed by outer frame members 28, 30 and central webs 32, 34.
  • a screen covering 24 is formed by outer frame members 28, 30 and central webs 32, 34.
  • the cross grille 26 is closed off by a smooth, continuous floor 36, which is on two opposite Edges are provided with spacer strips 38 for support on the next lower sieve frame.
  • the frame members 30 and the central web 32 are spaced apart from the bottom 36, so that discharge slots 40 are formed for the sieve diarrhea.
  • the sieve frame 14 constructed in this way consists only of a relatively small number of differently shaped woods, so that rational mass production is possible.
  • the product guidance described above can be changed in a simple manner by inserting the sieve frames 14 in different orientations and / or by attaching the feed plates 52, 54 to other sides of the sieve frame.
  • FIG. 2 shows two different embodiments of screen cleaning bodies 58 and 60, each of which has a stem-like foot 62.
  • the foot 62 engages in a recess in a disc-shaped bottom clearer 64 lying flat on the bottom 36, so that the bottom clearer 64 and the screen cleaning body 58 move together over the bottom surface during the shaking movements of the screen.
  • the foot 62 lies directly on the floor 36.
  • the lower end of the foot 62 is somewhat rounded, so that the screen cleaning body has a tendency to tip over until it strikes the screen covering 24 with its outer edge and rebounds.
  • the top of the screen cleaning bodies are provided with knobs or brushes 66 for gentle cleaning of the screen covering. Due to friction with the floor 36 and in particular due to collisions with the frame members or middle webs of the oscillating sieve frame, the sieve cleaning bodies are constantly held in an irregular tumbling movement, so that they gradually sweep over the entire sieve covering 24 at random.
  • baffles 68 fixed to the bottom 36 are provided, on which the bottom clearer 64 or the foot 62 is additionally pushed, so that the screen cleaning body is often thrown into the edge regions and corners of the screen frame.
  • the screen cleaning body 60 has the shape of a three-pointed star with relatively long and slender arms 70 which penetrate well into the corners of the screen covering.
  • the screen cleaning body 60 is made of a rubber-elastic material, so that the arms 70 in the event of collisions with the frame members of the sieve frame act like springs and stimulate the sieve cleaning body to undergo violent translational and rotational movements.
  • the elastic cushioning of the bumps also reduces noise.
  • the thickness of the screen cleaning body is dimensioned such that the arms have a softer suspension behavior when deflected vertically. In this way, good contact with the screen covering is ensured and overuse of the fine screen gauze is avoided.
