Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the transfer and thermal treatment of divided solids such as pulverulent materials.
  • the transfer and heat treatment devices commonly used in the industry include a transfer member and a heating means for heat treatment.
  • the transfer member is a vibrating tubular envelope receiving the divided solids.
  • the heat treatment is then provided by heating the tubular envelope.
  • Such devices are difficult to implement and are relatively expensive.
  • a second type of device in which the transfer member is a propeller mounted to rotate around a longitudinal axis in a tubular casing.
  • the heating means is constituted either by the envelope (then formed of a double envelope to circulate a heat transfer fluid, or externally equipped with heating resistors), or by a tube, around which the propeller is wound, said tube being traversed by a fluid brought to a high temperature.
  • Such devices are simpler to implement than the previously mentioned devices. However, in these latter devices, only the solids located near the heating jacket or the heating tube are subjected to an effective heat flux. It has also been found in the case of a heating tube that, the tube not providing any transfer or mixing function of the divided solids, the divided solids being in the vicinity of the tube are not renewed.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by designing a more efficient device.
  • a device for the transfer and thermal treatment of divided solids comprising at least one transfer member having a longitudinal axis and a helical part, mounted to rotate around its longitudinal axis in a tubular casing and connected to an output shaft of a rotary drive motor, at least the helical part of the transfer member being formed in its mass of an electrically conductive material, and the transfer member comprising means for connection to a source of electrical energy supply in order to constitute the heating means itself.
  • the heating means is constituted by the transfer member in contact with which the divided solids are mostly brought during their transfer. All or almost all of the divided solids will therefore heat up directly in contact with the heating means, and this without stationing against the heating surface. The heating of the divided solids is thus carried out in a uniform manner and the problems of browning are practically eliminated.
  • the structure of the device is simple, so that its manufacturing cost remains low.
  • the helical part of the transfer member comprises a flat ribbon wound in a helix.
  • the helical part is formed of a helix winding around a shaft, the shaft then being made of insulating material or formed at least on its outer surface of an electrically conductive material.
  • the electrically conductive material is a metal such as stainless steel.
  • the tubular casing is made of an electrically insulating material. Thanks to this measure, the risks of short circuits between the transfer member and the tubular casing are eliminated, as are the risks of electrocution of people by contact with the tubular casing. The security of the device is thus reinforced.
  • the tubular casing is covered at least partially with an internal friction lining made of insulating material to form a support for the helical part.
  • the friction lining supports the helical part so as to prevent the helical part from bending during the transfer of the products.
  • the friction lining electrically isolates the helical part of the tubular casing, which can then be made of a conductive material. The risks of short circuits are then limited.
  • the device comprises a coupling gasket made of electrically insulating material connecting the transfer member to the output shaft of the engine.
  • the motor is thus isolated from the transfer member. The security of the device is thus further improved.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view, on the side of the drive motor, of a transfer and heat treatment device according to a first embodiment
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1, on a side opposite the motor, of the transfer member of the device according to the first embodiment,
  • FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view with cutaway of a transfer and heat treatment device according to a second embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a partial view in cross section of a variant of the second embodiment
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the transfer member of a device according to a third embodiment
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a variant of the third embodiment.
  • the transfer and thermal treatment device comprises a tubular casing 1, open at the top, comprising, at its respective ends, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe for the product to be transferred (not shown here).
  • the tubular casing 1 is here made of an electrically insulating material such as a plastic material.
  • the tubular casing 1 has been shown arranged with an open sky, the tubular casing 1 may also be arranged in the form of a complete cylinder (closed sky).
  • a transfer member generally designated at 2 is mounted in the tubular casing 1 to rotate around its longitudinal axis 3.
  • the transfer member 2 has a helically shaped part 4 formed by a flat ribbon, here of rectangular section, wound around a shaft 5 and kept spaced therefrom by spacers 6 distributed along the shaft 5.
  • the helical part 4 is produced in its mass in an electrically conductive material, for example stainless steel.
  • the shaft 5 is here made of insulating material and is mounted to pivot in the tubular casing 1 by means of two end portions 7 and 8 made of electrically conductive material and received in bearings not visible in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the helical part 4 is electrically connected to the end portions 7 and 8 by plates 9 of conductive material secured to the end portions 7 and 8.
  • the end portion 7 is associated with a drum 10 of electrically conductive material on which coals 11 of the electric current friction rub connected by conductive wires to a source of electrical energy supply (not shown).
  • the end portion 8 is itself associated with a drum, not shown, made of electrically conductive material on which rub the coals of discharge of the electric current. It is understood that the shaft 5 being made of electrically insulating material, the electric current is forced to pass through the helical part 4. It could also be provided that the shaft 5 is made of electrically conductive material but is isolated from the end portions 7 and 8 and the helical part 4.
  • the power source will be sized in particular according to the dimensional characteristics and electrical resistance of the transfer member.
  • the voltage delivered, continuous or alternating will be less than 100 volts for safety reasons.
  • the means of connection to the power source could be, instead of carbon, conductive rings, or conductive brushes rubbing on the exterior surface of the drums, or alternatively a rotating connection fitting mounted on one of the ends of the transfer member 2.
  • the drum 10 is connected to a rotary drive motor 12 by means of a coupling joint 13.
  • the coupling joint 13 is preferably made of insulating material.
  • the coupling seal 13 can thus ensure, in addition to an isolation function of the motor of the transfer member, a function of compensating for misalignments between the output shaft and the end of the transfer member and / or an elastic damping function.
  • drum 10 and the coupling assembly to the motor is housed in a compartment isolated from the tubular casing 1. The safety of the device is thus optimal.
  • the divided solids to be treated are introduced into the tubular casing 1 by the inlet duct (here on the motor side) and are entrained by the helical part 4 towards the outlet duct (at the opposite end). Simultaneously, the divided solids are heated throughout their transfer in direct contact with the external surface of the helical part 4. Due to the rotation of the helical part 4 and induced movements of the divided solids, the divided solids will be for the most brought into contact with the heated helical part during their transfer. The heating of the divided solids is thus very efficient and uniform for all or almost all of the divided solids.
  • FIG 3 we can see a device according to a second embodiment.
  • the device according to the second embodiment is identical to the device of the first embodiment described above, except as regards the helical part 4 which is here self-supporting (no support shaft is provided).
  • the structure of the transfer member is then particularly simple and is more particularly suitable for transfers over reduced distances.
  • the friction lining 14 will be arranged opposite the middle part of the helical part which is the zone of the helical part having the largest deflection in the event of deflection.
  • the friction lining 14 is advantageously made of an insulating material such as polytetrafluoroethylene, which allows on the one hand to electrically isolate the helical part 4 of the tubular casing 1 which can then be made of a conductive material, and d on the other hand to have a friction lining having a low coefficient of friction.
  • the transfer member 2 of the device comprises a tubular shaft 5 having as its longitudinal axis the axis 3.
  • a helix 4 of the Archimedes screw type is wound around the tubular shaft 5.
  • the tubular shaft 5 and the propeller 4 are the ⁇ cies are made in a single piece of electrically conductive material, here stainless steel.
  • the propeller 4 can also be attached to the shaft 5.
  • the transfer member 2 is intended, as previously, to be rotatably mounted in a tubular casing, preferably of electrically insulating material, by means of bearings receiving the ends of the tubular shaft 5, and to be connected by collecting means, such as drums on which coals coals, associated with a power source electric.
  • the cross section of the tubular shaft 5 is determined so as to be less than that of the cross section, in this case rectangular, of the propeller 4 so that the current supplied to one end of the shaft 5 preferentially passes throughout the mass of the propeller 4.
  • Any other means making it possible to increase the resistance of the shaft relative to that of the propeller may of course be used.
  • the transfer members 2 are here spaced from one another but may alternatively be nested.
  • the shafts 5 are here shown full but may of course be tubular.
  • the transfer members 2 are electrically connected to each other so that the electric current flows along these two members.
  • a friction lining may be provided in all of the embodiments described above, this lining extending over all or part of the tubular casing.
