Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de tamisage destiné, plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement, au tamisage de mélanges de farines telles que ceux utilisés pour l'alimentation humaine ou animale.The present invention relates to a screening device intended, more particularly but not exclusively, for sieving flour mixes such as those used for food human or animal.

En l'état de la technique un tel dispositif est constitué, dans sa forme la plus simple, par une grille, rectangulaire et inclinée, à la partie supérieure de laquelle on déverse le produit à tamiser, ladite grille étant soumise à des vibrations qui font progresser le produit de l'extrémité haute de la grille à son extrémité basse. Durant cette progression les particules fines traversent la grille.In the state of the art such a device is constituted, in its simplest form, by a grid, rectangular and inclined, at the upper part of which the product to be sieved is poured, said grid being subjected to vibrations which advance the product of the high end of the grid at its low end. During this progression fine particles pass through the grid.

L'expérience a montré que le débit de tels dispositifs était relativement faible de l'ordre de 4 à 8 tonnes par heure et par mètre carré de grille.Experience has shown that the throughput of such devices is relatively low in the range of 4 to 8 tonnes per hour per meter grid square.

Par le document DE-A-4210770, on connaít un dispositif de tamisage comportant un corps, pouvant être agité, renfermant une grille affectant la forme d'un tronc de cône dont la petite base, qui est raccordée à un entonnoir raccordé à une conduite d'évacuation, est dirigée vers le bas, à la périphérie de laquelle grille le produit à tamiser est déversé.Document DE-A-4210770 discloses a sieving device comprising a body, capable of being agitated, containing a grid affecting the shape of a truncated cone whose small base, which is connected to a funnel connected to an evacuation pipe, is directed downwards, at the the periphery of which screens the product to be screened is poured out.

Un tel dispositif nécessite le changement de la grille si on désire modifier la granulométrie du produit tamisé.Such a device requires changing the grid if desired modify the particle size of the sieved product.

La présente invention qui remédie à cet inconvénient est remarquable en ce que le dispositif comporte plusieurs grilles superposées et en ce que l'entonnoir est rendu solidaire d'un embout mobile axialement et raccordé à la conduite d'évacuation.The present invention which remedies this drawback is remarkable in that the device comprises several superimposed grids and in that the funnel is made integral with an axially movable nozzle and connected to the evacuation pipe.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant au dessin annexé à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale d'un dispositif conforme à l'état de la technique ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue analogue à celle 1, partielle et à plus grande échelle, montrant un dispositif conforme à l'invention.
The present invention will be better understood from the description which follows, given with reference to the accompanying drawing by way of indicative example only, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a device according to the prior art;
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to that 1, partial and on a larger scale, showing a device according to the invention.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit que le dispositif se compose d'une enveloppe 1, formant le corps de l'appareil et présentant une ouverture 2 à sa partie supérieure pour permettre l'introduction du produit à tamiser.Referring to the drawing, we see that the device consists an envelope 1, forming the body of the device and having a opening 2 at its upper part to allow the introduction of the product to be sieved.

Selon un mode de remplissage, non représenté, le corps 1 est suspendu, par exemple, sous une trémie de chargement au moyen d'éléments non rigides.According to a filling method, not shown, the body 1 is suspended, for example, under a loading hopper by means non-rigid elements.

Dans le corps 1 est disposée une grille 3 affectant la forme d'un tronc de cône dont la petite base est dirigée vers le bas.In the body 1 is disposed a grid 3 affecting the shape of a trunk of cone, the small base of which is directed downwards.

La partie centrale de la grille est raccordée, par l'entremise d'un entonnoir 4, à une conduite 5 par laquelle sont évacuées les particules qui n'ont pas traversé la grille 3.The central part of the grid is connected, through a funnel 4, to a pipe 5 through which the particles are discharged who have not crossed the gate 3.

Les particules, qui ont traversé la grille, sont recueillies sur une surface tronconique 6 dont la petite base, qui s'étend vers le bas, est raccordée à une conduite d'évacuation 7. La surface 6 peut avantageusement être constituée par la partie inférieure du corps 1.The particles, which have passed through the grid, are collected on a frustoconical surface 6 whose small base, which extends downward, is connected to a discharge pipe 7. The surface 6 can advantageously be constituted by the lower part of the body 1.

Des moyens sont prévus pour agiter le corps 1, tels que, par exemple, un moteur à balourd 8 qui communique aux particules à tamiser un mouvement circulaire, lesdites particules tendant à tourner selon des circonférences de petit diamètre.Means are provided for agitating the body 1, such as, for example example, an unbalance motor 8 which communicates to the particles at sieving in a circular motion, said particles tending to turn around small diameter circumferences.

Des moyens sont prévus pour déverser le produit à tamiser à la périphérie de la grille 3. Selon un mode de réalisation, on utilise un cône 9, disposé au dessus de la grille 3 et dont le diamètre de la base est inférieur au grand diamètre de ladite grille. Le cône 9 peut présenter des moyens pour répartir le produit et le guider. De tels moyens peuvent être constitués par des nervures, telles que celle 10, disposées selon les génératrices du cône 9. Means are provided for discharging the product to be screened at the periphery of the grid 3. According to a method of embodiment, a cone 9 is used, placed above the grid 3 and whose diameter of the base is less than the large diameter of said wire rack. The cone 9 may have means for distributing the product and guide him. Such means may consist of ribs, such as that 10, arranged along the generatrices cone 9.

Selon l'invention le corps 1 renferme plusieurs grilles telles que celles 11a, 11b et11c, identiques à celle 3. La grille inférieure présente une maille dont le diamètre est inférieur à celui de la maille de la grille supérieure.According to the invention, the body 1 contains several grids such as those 11 a , 11 b and 11 c , identical to that 3. The lower grid has a mesh whose diameter is less than that of the mesh of the upper grid.

L'entonnoir 4, de réception des particules n'ayant pas traversé la grille, est porté par un embout 12 mobile axialement et se raccordant à la conduite 5.The funnel 4, for receiving particles which have not passed through the grid, is carried by a tip 12 axially movable and connecting to line 5.

Dans le cas de la figure 2, l'ensemble mobile 4-12 est disposé pour recevoir les particules qui n'ont pas traversé la grille 11b. Dans cette position, les particules qui auront traversé la grille inférieure 11c, seront recueillies par la surface 6 et évacuées par la conduite 7. Les particules qui ne peuvent pas traverser la grille 11c seront également recueillies par la conduite 7 après avoir traversé l'espace annulaire 13 ménagé entre la partie inférieure de la grille 11c et l'embout 12.In the case of FIG. 2, the mobile assembly 4-12 is arranged to receive the particles which have not passed through the grid 11b . In this position, the particles which will have crossed the lower grid 11 c , will be collected by the surface 6 and evacuated by the pipe 7. The particles which cannot cross the grid 11 c will also be collected by the pipe 7 after having crossed the annular space 13 formed between the lower part of the grid 11c and the end piece 12.

Si l'ensemble mobile est placé en coïncidence avec la grille inférieure 11c, seules les particules les plus fines seront recueillies par la conduite 7, toutes les autres étant évacuées par la conduite 5.If the mobile assembly is placed in coincidence with the lower grid 11c , only the finest particles will be collected by line 7, all the others being removed by line 5.

Différents moyens peuvent être utilisés pour guider et déplacer l'ensemble 4-12. La mise en oeuvre de ces moyens ne pose pas de problème et peut être réalisée, sans difficulté, par l'homme de l'art. C'est la raison pour laquelle ces moyens n'ont pas été représentés. En effet, il est facile de concevoir que l'embout 12 soit guidé par la partie supérieure de la conduite 5. Il est également facile de concevoir que le déplacement de l'ensemble mobile soit réalisé à l'aide d'un vérin accroché par l'une de ses extrémités sous le cône 9 et, par l'autre, à une traverse située à l'intérieur de l'embout 12, par exemple.Different means can be used to guide and move the assembly 4-12. The implementation of these means does not pose no problem and can be performed without difficulty by humans art. This is the reason why these means were not represented. Indeed, it is easy to imagine that the end piece 12 be guided by the upper part of the pipe 5. It is also easy to imagine that moving the whole mobile is made using a jack hung by one of its ends under the cone 9 and, by the other, to a crosspiece located at the inside of the end piece 12, for example.
