Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for sonication and for transmitting vibrations to a sonication liquid containing particles according to one of Claims 1, 7 and 21.
  • ultrasonic cleaning systems have been used for cleaning the surfaces of jewelry, but also machine parts, which consist of a container containing a cleaning liquid, an ultrasonic generator and one or more sound transducers, which are attached to the outside of the container walls and vibrate move and transfer the vibrations to the liquid.
  • the sound transducers are poorly adaptable to the load, which is composed of the container, the cleaning liquid or the coupling medium and the objects immersed therein for cleaning.
  • the physical conditions such as the working frequency, the transmission behavior of the container, the damping of the coupling fluid and the material to be cleaned, also set limits to the dimensions of the cleaning systems.
  • a measuring instrument for measuring the characteristics of liquids (US-A-3,680,841) is also known from the European search report.
  • a sonication device immersed in a container filled with liquid is intended to prevent precipitation from forming on the areas of measuring electrodes immersed in the liquid.
  • a liquid is filled in the latter. This protective jacket acts as a resonator and transmits the ultrasound waves directly to the liquid to be measured.
  • the vibrator According to the US specification, it should be possible with the vibrator to prevent deposits on the two electrodes with low energy, so that, for example, the quality of a pH measurement can always be constant, even if the liquid is partially crystallized. Since the sound transducer is surrounded by a jacket, it can be used directly in hot and corrosive liquids and cooled by the liquid. The liquid, for example, to be measured for its pH value, contains no suspended particles to be cleaned, which have a dampening effect on the propagation of the sound waves. Problems with starting the vibrator in this application or maintaining its operation do not occur in this application. It is not possible to use the probe known from US-A-3,680,841 for the sonication of attenuation-rich sonication media.
  • EP-A-0 528 070 discloses a process for the treatment of bulk goods, in which the contamination of the foundry sand is to be removed with ultrasound. Tests have shown, however, that even an economically uninteresting small one Concentration of bulk material in the sonication liquid the sound probe can no longer be started.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for generating sound waves and for removing particles present in a sound reinforcement from their adhering deposits or impurities.
  • the sound probe or the resonator despite energy loss due to the additional transmission media, which prevent the contact of the resonator with the sonication liquid and the particles to be cleaned therein, is essentially independent of the damping properties of the particles and of the particle-containing sonication and coupling fluid.
  • the compartment wall used to separate the transmission medium is set in motion by the sound waves emitted by the resonator and transmits them to the particles to be sonicated.
  • the vibrations When using a resonator with a surface structure, the vibrations will decrease sent from the resonator crossing each other in all directions. In the case of a resonator with elevations in the form of rods, humps, etc., the vibrations are also emitted to the sound reinforcement in all directions, so that the sound waves can cross in the sound reinforcement medium and thus also hit the particles to be sounded from all sides.
  • the public address device 1 has a hollow or solid resonator 3 with a diameter d of, for example, 48.5 mm, which is connected to a sound transducer 6, which is shown only schematically in FIG.
  • the sound transducer 6 is arranged outside the resonator 3, which is of tubular design here, and connected to the latter at the end face.
  • a magnetostrictive or a piezoelectric sound transducer 6 can be attached.
  • the sound probe, designated as a whole by 2 is connected at its one end, which contains the sound transducer 6, to the wall 8 of a sound container 10 via flange 13.
  • the resonator 3 can also have a shape other than a tubular geometric shape.
  • the sound transducer 6 is supplied with energy by a sound generator 16, which is likewise arranged outside the resonator 3 and the sound container 10, via the line 12.
  • a jacket-shaped compartment wall 9 surrounds the resonator 3 to form a space 7.
  • the compartment wall 9, with the resonator 3 arranged therein, is immersed in a sonication liquid 11 to be sonicated.
  • the compartment wall 9, the diameter D of which is, for example, 85 mm, is at least partially vibration-connected to the resonator 3 via a transmission medium or a transmission liquid 15 located in the space between the surface of the resonator 3 and the inner surface of the compartment wall 9.
  • the space 7 between the resonator 3 and the compartment wall 9 can thus be completely or partially filled with the transmission liquid 15, which transmits the vibrations initially transmitted from the resonator 3 to the transmission liquid 15 to the sonication liquid 11 and the particles 32 introduced therein and the deposits sitting thereon 34 transmits (only a few shown in Figures 1 and 2).
  • the compartment wall 9 can be used for indirect transmission be a closed vibratory body or a perforated body for direct transmission; it can also be designed in the form of a net or lattice or as a textile fabric and allow the passage of transmission liquid 15 or sonication liquid 11 into the intermediate space 7 or in the opposite direction without being loaded with particles to be sonicated and damped.
  • the compartment wall 9 consequently serves to create a low-damping zone between the resonator 3 and the sonication liquid 11 with the parts 32 contained therein.
  • a liquid-tight compartment wall 9 water can be used as the low-damping transmission liquid 15 for the transmission of the vibrations generated at the resonator 3 to the compartment wall 9.
  • the jacket-shaped compartment wall 9 can be made, for example, of metal, glass or plastic, the natural resonance behavior of which is preferably adapted to the desired sonication frequencies. In the case of a liquid-permeable compartment wall 9, this acts as a sieve and the liquid present between the resonator 3 and the compartment wall 9 is in this case identical to the sonication liquid 11.
  • the transmission of the vibrations from the resonator 3 to the particles to be sonicated now takes place in this embodiment of the invention directly through the particle-free sonication liquid 11 in contact with the resonator 3 and to a lesser extent also through the compartment wall 9.
  • the vibratory compartment wall 9, which acts as a sound or vibration transmitter can have a structured surface (FIG. 3). This enables the sound waves to be emitted in mutually intersecting directions.
  • elevations or thorn-shaped or rod-shaped attachments 21 can be attached to the surface of the compartment wall, which also allow a confused radiation of the sound waves.
  • the compartment wall 9 can alternatively have the shape of a bag consisting of a film or mesh in order to separate the transmission liquid 15 from the sonication liquid 11.
  • the bag 17 can also be attached to the end of a compartment wall 9 which extends only over a partial length of the resonator 3.

  • both the resonator 103 and the compartment wall 109 used in it are tubular.
  • the sonication liquid 111 with the particles 132 to be sonicated is then located within the compartment wall 109, which can be set in motion by the transmission liquid 115. Direct contact between the surface of resonator 103 and the Sonication fluid 111 in the space 107 and the particles 132 therein does not take place. With this embodiment, a greater sound wave density is achieved in the sonication liquid 111.
