Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for sorting raw materials, Pre-refined or recycled bulk goods that are sorted out of individual Parts exist, with the classification of the parts to be sorted by empirically determined classification parameters and that bulk material to be sorted out via a separating device of a Separator is supplied.
  • the bulk material is first conditioned and then via a Separating device of the separating device for deflecting individual ones Bulk particles fed.
  • the separation facilities are usually as Separating vibrors trained. These require a relatively large one Overall length, which is perceived as a disadvantage.
  • the object of the invention is the device of the beginning mentioned type, known from DE-A-195 04 932, so that they improve has only a small size and is used for a large grain spectrum can be.
  • the separating device of the good selection station is as Cell wheel lock designed, e.g. for use at Plastic granules, copper aluminum granules, aluminum lead granules, Zinc aluminum granules as well as differently colored glass granules has proven.
  • the lighting consists of diffuse-radiating infrared, ultraviolet and normal light, the light fractions depending on the product to be sorted.
  • the granules reach the area of effect of two Nozzle sticks for compressed air, which are arranged on both sides of the granulate flow.
  • the nozzles with diameters from 0.8 to 6 mm are wall-tight strung together.
  • the compressed air with a pressure of 3 - 6 bar can be uncooled or e.g. Be cooled 1 - 3 ° K below the ambient temperature.
  • the nozzle sticks are driven in opposite directions, so that three with a sorting process different product qualities can be sorted out.
  • the material transport device is arranged on a frame 8. it consists of a delivery station 6, which is followed by a service zone 2. On this follows a zone for a control sieve 5 for unsuitable particles dissipate. Thereafter, a conditioning zone 3 is provided, in which the Bulk material is moistened. Liquid water is drained 4 dissipated. In a cellular wheel sluice 7 following the draining section 4 the bulk material particles isolated, the necessary using a sensor system The objects are separated in the detection plane. When leaving the Cell wheel lock 7 is used to separate the bulk material particles by means of a Good selection station 9. The selected bulk goods particles then pass through Gravity on floor conveyor 10, 11 and are discharged.
  • a downwardly inclined slide 13 is arranged on which dehumidified bulk material arrives (Fig. 2).
  • the rotary valve 7 At a distance a from the end section 12 is the rotary valve 7 at a distance b from the surface of the slide 13 arranged.
  • This can be designed as a brush roller. It is over the Slide 13 arranged so that the particles of the bulk material through the Brush roller retracted and after adjusting the speed again be released. Via a frequency converter, not shown the peripheral speed of the brush roller can be changed.
  • a line scan camera 14 and a background 15 assigned to it In a Level below the lower end portion 28 of the slide 13 is a line scan camera 14 and a background 15 assigned to it. It can also be two Line cameras 14 or one formed by a light-sensitive diode chain Line can be provided.
  • FIG. 3 there is a camera filter 16 in front of the line camera 14 arranged, which is effective for normal light, ultraviolet light and infrared light.
  • an illumination device 17 is assigned.
  • the lighting device 17 consists of 3 diodes or lights 18, 19, 20, each of which is ultraviolet light or Emit infrared light or normal light. These three light fractions are each mixed by product to be sorted.
  • a long pass filter 21 is arranged in front of the diodes or lights 18, 19, 20 arranged.
  • nozzle assemblies 22, 23 Under the illuminating device 17 there are each other in the detection plane oppositely arranged two nozzle assemblies 22, 23, which with compressed air from e.g. 3 - 6 bar pressure can be applied.
  • the compressed air can be cooled to e.g. 1 - 3 ° K be below ambient temperature or uncooled.
  • the nozzles are strung together.
  • the nozzle diameter can be 0.8 to 6 mm be.
  • the nozzle blocks 22, 23 are driven in opposite directions, so with one sorting process results in three product qualities of different shades of gray.
  • the product B falls into a receptacle 24 in free fall.
  • the product A is deflected from the bulk material flow 27 by the nozzle assembly 23 and falls into the receptacle 25.
  • the product C is discharged through the nozzle assembly 22 the bulk material flow 27 deflected and reaches the receiving container 26.
  • Die Receptacles 24, 25, 26 are arranged on the floor conveyors 10, 11 (Fig. 1).
  • Fig. 4 shows a rotary valve 7, by means of which in particular the Rejection security for small bulk objects is increased. With these there is the problem that compared to larger objects others Fall speed ratios exist. Therefore, the viewing and Separation area for small objects can be made as small as possible. Because due the geometrical dimensions of the objects do not affect the large fraction can be reduced, the fall speed according to the invention harmonized.
  • the cellular wheel sluice 7 according to FIG. 4 is particularly suitable for this. This consists of two counter-rotating brushes 29, 30, which are coaxial are arranged to each other and by two counter-rotating pendulum lifting drives 31, 32 are driven by a frequency rectifier.
