Definitions
- the invention relates to a self-emptying centrifugal drum with at least one valve for discharging solids from the centrifugal drum, hydraulic actuation of the valve by feeding control water into a collecting trough rotating with the centrifugal drum by means of a stationary feed device which has at least one outlet opening is provided for the control water.
- Such a centrifugal drum is known for example from DE 38 26 912 Cl.
- the feed device is guided as a closed channel into the area located radially inwards to the collecting trough, which is also penetrated by a drive spindle of the centrifugal drum.
- the inside diameter of the collecting trough is therefore determined by the diameter of the drive spindle and the radial extension of the feed device in the area of the collecting trough, wherein a sufficient radial distance between the stationary feeding device and the rotating collecting trough and the rotating drive spindle must also be provided .
- a closed channel requires a relatively large amount of space in the radial direction because of its wall and the required internal width, so that a correspondingly large inside diameter of the collecting trough is required.
- the hydraulic pressure that can be generated in the collecting trough can be reduced with increasing diameter of the collecting trough. The aim is therefore to make the diameter of the collecting trough as small as possible.
- the feed device it is proposed to design the feed device as a double-walled annular body which concentrically surrounds the drive spindle in the region of the collecting trough. With a given flow cross-section for the control water, the radial extent of the feed device can be reduced as a result.
- this design enables the arrangement of a large number of outlet openings for the control water in the region of the collecting trough, as a result of which better feeding of the control water into the collecting trough is achieved.
- feed devices are structurally complex and still require a relatively large diameter of the collecting trough. With all double-walled feed devices there is also the risk of a reduction in cross-section due to deposited dirt or lime particles.
- the invention has for its object to provide a structurally simple and inexpensive supply device for control water, which enables a smaller inner diameter of the collecting trough than the known supply devices.
- This object is achieved in that a baffle is provided between the collecting trough and the feed device, which extends from a lower area below the collecting trough to an upper area lying radially inwards to the collecting trough, the outlet
- Opening for the control water is directed against the lower area of the baffle.
- the control water flows to the upper area of the guide plate and the control water which shoots beyond the upper area of the guide plate is conducted into the collecting channel.
- Only the thickness of the guide plate has to be taken into account as the radial extension of the feed device in the area of the collecting trough.
- the required radial space requirement is considerably less than with the known solutions and the manufacturing costs can be drastically reduced.
- the outlet opening for the control water is directed upwards at an acute angle against the outer wall of the guide plate. This arrangement of the outlet opening forms on the Baffle plate a control water flow directed to the upper area.
- the guide plate is rotationally symmetrical and is arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation of the centrifugal drum.
- the rotating collecting trough creates air vortices which distribute the control water over the entire circumference of the guide plate, which ensures that the control water is optimally fed into the collecting trough.
- the upper region of the guide plate has a radially outward protuberance in the direction of the collecting trough. This ensures a particularly good transition of the control water flow from the baffle to the gutter.
- the guide plate is designed as a partition between a gear space and an upper part of the frame.
- An additional partition wall which prevents the penetration of control water into the transmission space, can thus be dispensed with.
- a further advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the feed device consists of an elastic line part and a mouthpiece in which the outlet opening is provided. This ensures a affordable and easy to integrate solution achieved.
- the feed device can advantageously run through the gear space and penetrate a bore provided in the guide plate with the outlet opening.
- a special connection between the guide plate and the feed device can be omitted.
- the top of the baffle remains free of interfering line parts which could cause unfavorable air turbulence.
- 1 denotes a centrifugal drum which, driven by a drive spindle 2, rotates in an upper frame part 3, which is separated from a gear chamber 5 by a guide plate 4.
- An upper region 6 of the guide plate 4 is turned radially outward and directed onto a collecting trough 7 provided on the underside of the centrifugal drum 1, which is connected via a channel 8 to a valve (not shown) for emptying the centrifugal drum 1.
- a lower region 9 of the guide plate 4 is provided below the collecting trough 7 and is connected to a feed device 10 which runs through the gear space 5.
- the outlet opening 14 a bore 13 provided in the lower region 9 of the guide plate 4 penetrates and is directed upwards at an acute angle towards the lower region 9 of the guide plate 4.
- control water is added via the feed device 10, which is directed upwards through the outlet opening 14 of the mouthpiece 12 at high speed at an acute angle against the lower region 9 of the guide plate 4.
- a control water flow directed toward the upper region 6 of the guide plate 4 is formed on the guide plate 4. Due to the radially outward protuberance of the upper region 6 in the direction of the collecting trough 7, the control water flow that flows beyond the upper region is flow-favorably into the
- Catch channel 7 passed, which enables a high control water output.
- the air vortices in the area of the rotating collecting trough 7 result in a largely uniform distribution of the control water locally supplied in the lower area 9 on the circumference of the upper area 6, thereby promoting an optimal transfer of the control water from the guide plate 4 to the collecting trough 7.
