Connecting rods can then connect the first ring to each of the suspension arms of the chute, so as to transform a vertical sliding of the first ring in a pivoting of the chute around of its pivot axis.
- the guide device connected between the first ring and the rotor comprises preferably several vertical rails mounted on the rotor and rollers mounted on the first ring and guided in the rails. Excellent guidance is obtained when a pair of vertically spaced rollers is guided in each rail.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a distribution device bulk materials 12 with a rotating chute 14 with tilt angle variable.
- This device is mounted on the head of a shaft furnace 10 and is part a loading facility for the latter. It is fed by a hopper lock (not shown) which opens into a central supply channel 16 of the device 12.
- the reference sign 18 indicates the central axis of the supply channel 16, which will usually be coaxial with the central axis of the shaft furnace 10.
- the chute 14 is shown in two tilt positions. In solid lines, it has an inclination so as to deflect the bulk material flowing through the supply channel 16 in the peripheral zone of the oven. In broken lines, its inclination is such that the bulk material is dumped in the central zone of the shaft furnace 10.
- the bulk distribution device 12 will now be studied in more detail by referring simultaneously to Figures 1 to 3.
- the chute 14 is provided at its upper end with two lateral suspension arms 20, 20 '(in Figure 1, the arm 20' is hidden by the arm 20).
- In each one of these two suspension bearings 24, 24 ′ is mounted a suspension arm 20, 20 'of the trough 14, so that these two bearings 24, 24' define for the chute 14 a substantially horizontal pivot axis. This axis of pivoting is identified by the reference numeral 26 in Figure 2.
- the rotor 22 can be likened to a tube, which surrounds the feed channel 16, carries at its lower end the bearings 24, 24 ', and has at its upper end a suspension collar 30.
- a motor electric or hydraulic 34 (preferably a motor with a speed of variable rotation) is used to rotate the rotor 22, and therefore also the chute 14, around the axis 18.
- a pinion 36 of the drive motor 34 meshes with a toothed crown 38, carried for example by the suspension collar 30.
- the support carcass 32 is a sealed carcass supported itself on the head of the shaft furnace 10. It has at its upper end a plate 40, which is provided with a passage opening for a wear tube 42, which defines the supply channel 16. In a remaining annular space between the rotor 22 and the wear tube 42 is advantageously interposed a screen stationary in rotation 44 fitted with a closed cooling circuit. This screen cooling 44 is used in particular to cool the inner surface of the rotor 22.
- the carcass 32 is provided with an annular screen 46.
- the latter is equipped with a cooling circuit 48 on its surface upper and thermal insulation 50 on its lower surface. He defines a central opening in which a collar 52 fitted to the end is fitted lower of the suspension rotor 22.
- the collar 52 comprises a plate upper 54, which is protected downwards by thermal insulation 56. Between the upper plate 54 and the thermal insulation 56 there remains a vacuum 58 accessible from the lateral edge of the collar 52.
- a pipe 60 is arranged on along the central opening of the fixed annular screen 46. This pipe 60 is connected to a source of cooling gas, and it is provided on all its length of outlet orifices oriented so as to be able to inject this gas cooling through the mouths 58 in the cavities of the collar 52.
- the collar 52 is provided with two passage slots for the suspension arms 20, 20 'of the chute 14. Since the arms 20, 20' are delimited at the two ends of the passage slots by cylindrical surfaces 62, 64, the axes of which coincide with the pivot axis of the chute 14, the arms 20, 20 ′ provide significant sealing of the slots passage for any angle of inclination of the chute 14.
- the reference sign 66 marks a first ring arranged around the rotor 22 so that its axis central is coaxial with the axis of rotation thereof.
- This first ring 66 is connected to the rotor 22 by means of a guide device, which allows the first ring to slide axially along the rotor 22.
- this guide device comprises guide rails 68 1 ... 68 4 , and guide rollers 70 1 ... 70 4 .
- the guide rails 68 1 ... 68 4 are fixed vertically to the outer wall of the rotor 22.
- 70 4 are mounted on the first ring 66 and guided vertically in the rails 68 1 .. 68 4 to center the first ring 66 relative to the rotor 22, during its vertical sliding. Excellent centering of the ring 66 in the rails 70 1 ... 70 4 is obtained when a pair of guide rollers 70 1 , 70 1 'is associated with each guide rail 68 1 ... 68 4 (cf. Figure 1), which are mounted with vertical spacing on support arms 72, 72 'fixed to the first ring 66.
- a connecting rod 73, 73' connects the first ring 66 to each of the suspension arms 20, 20 'of the chute 14.
- These connecting rods 73, 73 ′ transform a vertical displacement of the first ring 66 into a pivoting of the chute 14 around its pivot axis 26.
- the reference sign 74 marks a second ring arranged around the rotor 22 so that its central axis is coaxial with the axis of rotation 18 thereof.
- a large-diameter rolling ring 76 connects this second ring 74 to the first ring 66.
- This rolling ring 76 allows relative rotation of the two rings 66, 74, while ensuring the transmission of vertical forces. It follows that motionless control means in rotation can be connected to the second ring 74, to vary the vertical position of the first ring 66 on the suspension rotor 22 in rotation.
- Figures 1 and 3 show a first execution of these means of ordered. This is described by way of comparative example and is not in conformity with the claimed invention. It is a lever mechanism actuated by a hydraulic cylinder 80 installed outside the carcass of support 32.
- the lever mechanism comprises a lever with intermediate articulation provided with a support arm 82 and an actuating arm 84.
- the support arm 82 has the shape of a fork, which is connected using two connecting rods 86, 86 'to the second ring 74 of two diametrically opposite points.
- Figure 1 we see a front view of the connecting rod 86.
- the lever comprises two suspension pivots 88, 88 'housed in suspension bearings 90, 90 '.
- the actuating arm 84 is carried by the suspension pivot 88, which emerges in a sealed manner from the support carcass 32 through the bearing of suspension 90.
- the hydraulic cylinder 80 is connected between the actuating arm 84 and a support arm 94, which is rigidly fixed to the carcass of support 32.
- a shortening of the hydraulic cylinder 80 rotates the lever 82, 84 around its pivot axis 92 in the direction of the arrow 96.
- the support arm 82 lifts, via the connecting rods 86, 86 ', the second ring 74.
- the latter raises, by means of the ring of bearing 76, the first ring 66, which is in rotation with the suspension rotor 22 around the axis 18.
- the connecting rods 73, 73 ′ then rotate the chute 14 around its pivot axis 26 in the direction of arrow 98. Since the center of gravity of the chute is in the initial position of the chute (i.e. the position shown in solid lines) to the right of the vertical plane containing the pivot axis 26 of the chute 14, it suffices to unload the cylinder 80 to rotate the chute in the opposite direction to the arrow 98 under the effect of its own weight.
- the latter 74 raises, via the rolling ring 76, the first ring 66, which is in rotation with the suspension rotor 22 around the axis 18.
- the connecting rods 73, 73 'then rotate the chute 14 about its pivot axis 26 in the direction of arrow 98.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de répartition de matières en vrac avec goulotte rotative à angle d'inclinaison variable.The present invention relates to a device for distributing materials in bulk with rotating chute with variable tilt angle.
De tels dispositifs sont par exemple utilisés dans des dispositifs de chargement de fours à cuve, notamment de hauts fourneaux, dans lesquels une goulotte rotative à angle d'inclinaison variable assure la distribution de la charge à l'intérieur du four à cuve. Ils comprennent plus particulièrement une carcasse de support dans laquelle est monté un rotor de suspension de façon à pouvoir être entraíné en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation sensiblement vertical. La goulotte est suspendue dans ce rotor de façon à pouvoir pivoter autour de son axe de suspension. Un mécanisme de pivotement permet de changer l'inclinaison de la goulotte pendant sa rotation. Le rotor est traversé axialement par un canal d'alimentation, de façon à ce que les matières en vrac, qui s'écoulent d'une trémie d'éclusage du dispositif de chargement, soient déversées sur la goulotte rotative, qui les répartit à l'intérieur du four à cuve.Such devices are for example used in loading devices tank furnaces, in particular blast furnaces, in which a rotating chute with variable tilt angle ensures load distribution inside the shaft oven. They more particularly include a carcass support in which a suspension rotor is mounted so that it can be rotated about a substantially vertical axis of rotation. The chute is suspended in this rotor so as to be able to pivot around its suspension axis. Swivel mechanism allows tilting to be changed of the chute during its rotation. The rotor is axially crossed by a feed channel, so that loose material, which flows from a loading hopper lock, are discharged onto the rotary chute, which distributes them inside the shaft furnace.
De tels dispositifs de répartition de matières en vrac sont par exemple décrits dans les documents WO 95/21272, US-A-5,022,806, US-A-4,941,792, US-A-4,368,813, US-A-3,814,403 et US-A-3,766,868. Dans ces dispositifs, le mécanisme de pivotement comprend un deuxième rotor, qui a un axe de rotation sensiblement coaxial au premier rotor dans lequel la goulotte est suspendue. Ce deuxième rotor peut être entraíné en rotation à une vitesse différente de celle du premier rotor, ce qui permet de produire un décalage angulaire variable entre les deux rotors. Un mécanisme, connecté entre le deuxième rotor et la goulotte, permet alors de transformer une variation du décalage angulaire entre les deux rotors en une variation de l'angle d'inclinaison de la goulotte dans son plan de pivotement vertical.Such devices for distributing bulk materials are for example described in documents WO 95/21272, US-A-5,022,806, US-A-4,941,792, US-A-4,368,813, US-A-3,814,403 and US-A-3,766,868. In these devices, the swivel mechanism includes a second rotor, which has an axis of rotation substantially coaxial with the first rotor in which the chute is suspended. This second rotor can be rotated at a speed different from that of the first rotor, which makes it possible to produce an offset variable angle between the two rotors. A mechanism, connected between the second rotor and the chute, then transforms a variation of the angular offset between the two rotors in a variation of the angle of inclination of the chute in its vertical pivot plane.
Dans le document FR 2216350 est décrit un dispositif de répartition de matières en vrac d'un haut fourneau comprenant deux tubes rotatifs coaxiaux pour supporter la goulotte. L'extrémité supérieure de chacun de ces tubes est suspendue dans un support rotatif à l'extérieur du haut fourneau. Un de ces supports rotatifs est porté par des cylindres hydrauliques, de façon à ce qu'on puisse déplacer un des deux tubes verticalement pendant qu'il est en rotation. Une goulotte est supportée de façon pivotante à l'extrémité inférieure de l'un des deux tubes et connectée à l'aide d'une bielle de commande à l'extrémité inférieure de l'autre tube. En déplaçant verticalement un des deux tubes, on peut ainsi varier l'angle d'inclinaison de la goulotte en rotation.Document FR 2216350 describes a device for distributing bulk material from a blast furnace comprising two coaxial rotating tubes to support the chute. The upper end of each of these tubes is suspended in a rotating support outside the blast furnace. A death rotary supports is carried by hydraulic cylinders, so that can move one of the two tubes vertically while it is rotating. A chute is pivotally supported at the lower end of one of the two tubes and connected using a control rod at the end bottom of the other tube. By vertically moving one of the two tubes, we can thus vary the angle of inclination of the rotating chute.
Dans le document JP 58210105 est décrit un dispositif de répartition de matières en vrac dans lequel une goulotte est supportée de façon pivotante par une table rotative inférieure munie d'un canal d'alimentation vertical. Une table supérieure est déplaçable verticalement le long du canal d'alimentation vertical et est connectée à la goulotte par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle de commande. Le déplacement en hauteur de la table supérieure est réalisé à l'aide dispositif de commande qui prend localement appui sur le bord de la table supérieure et qui comprend un levier pivotant entraíné par un moteur rotatif.Document JP 58210105 describes a device for distributing bulk material in which a chute is pivotally supported by a lower rotary table with a vertical feed channel. A table upper is movable vertically along the vertical feed channel and is connected to the chute through a control rod. The the upper table is moved vertically using a command which is locally supported on the edge of the upper table and which includes a pivoting lever driven by a rotary motor.
Du document FR 2230246 on connaít un dispositif de répartition de matières en vrac comprenant une enveloppe extérieure dans laquelle est supportée une virole tournante. Une goulotte oscillante est supportée par cette virole tournante à l'aide de tourillons. Les tourillons portent des manivelles qui sont reliées par des bielles à une première couronne circulaire. Cette dernière est rendue solidaire en rotation de la virole tournante par des doigts qui peuvent coulisser verticalement dans des guides fixés de la virole tournante et elle est portée par une deuxième couronne circulaire sur laquelle elle est centrée et repose librement en rotation par l'intermédiaire de roulements. La deuxième couronne circulaire est supportée en plusieurs points par des bielles qui sont connectées à des tiges de vérins montés sur l'enveloppe extérieure. En ajustant dès lors la position verticale de la deuxième couronne à l'aide des vérins, on peut ajuster l'inclinaison de la goulotte.Document FR 2230246 discloses a material distribution device in bulk comprising an outer casing in which is supported a rotating ferrule. An oscillating chute is supported by this ferrule rotating using trunnions. The pins carry cranks which are connected by connecting rods to a first circular crown. The latter is made integral in rotation with the rotating ferrule by fingers which can slide vertically in fixed guides of the rotating shell and it is carried by a second circular crown on which it is centered and freely rests in rotation by means of bearings. The second circular crown is supported at several points by connecting rods which are connected to cylinder rods mounted on the outer casing. By adjusting therefore the vertical position of the second ring using the cylinders, we can adjust the inclination of the chute.
De façon générale, il importe de noter que le moment qui doit être transmis à la goulotte pour faire pivoter celle-ci autour de son axe de pivotement horizontal peut devenir très élevé, surtout si la goulotte est d'une construction très massive (comme c'est par exemple le cas sur un haut fourneau), et/ou si l'amplitude du pivotement est importante. Il s'ensuit que des efforts importants doivent être transmis par le mécanisme de pivotement de la goulotte.In general, it is important to note that the time to be transmitted to the chute to rotate it around its pivot axis horizontal can become very high, especially if the chute is of a construction very massive (as is for example the case on a blast furnace), and / or if the amplitude of the pivoting is important. It follows that significant efforts must be transmitted by the swivel mechanism of the chute.
Un des problèmes à la base de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de répartition de matières en vrac avec goulotte rotative à angle d'inclinaison variable, dans lequel est utilisé un mécanisme de pivotement de la goulotte relativement simple, qui présente cependant d'excellentes qualités en ce qui concerne la transmission des efforts importants nécessaires au pivotement de la goulotte.One of the problems underlying the present invention is to provide a bulk material distribution device with angled rotating chute of variable inclination, in which a pivoting mechanism of the relatively simple chute, which however has excellent qualities in with regard to the transmission of the large forces necessary for pivoting from the chute.
Ce problème est résolu par un dispositif selon la revendication 1. Un tel dispositif comprend, de façon connue en soi, un rotor de suspension monté dans une carcasse de support de façon à pouvoir tourner autour d'un axe de rotation sensiblement vertical. La goulotte est suspendue à ce rotor de façon à pouvoir pivoter autour d'un axe de suspension sensiblement horizontal. Le rotor de suspension est traversé axialement par un canal d'alimentation de la goulotte. Le dispositif comprend un mécanisme de pivotement très simple pour changer l'inclinaison de la goulotte suspendue dans le rotor. Ce mécanisme comprend un premier et un deuxième anneau, qui sont agencés tous les deux autour du rotor, de façon à ce que leur axe central soit coaxial à l'axe de rotation du rotor. Un dispositif de guidage, solidaire en rotation avec le rotor, est connecté entre le rotor et le premier anneau, de façon à ce que ce dernier puisse coulisser axialement le long du rotor. Au moins un élément de connexion connecte le premier anneau à la goulotte, de façon à transformer un coulissement vertical du premier anneau en un pivotement de la goulotte autour de son axe de pivotement. Le premier et le deuxième anneau sont connectés par l'intermédiaire d'un anneau de roulement. Un cylindre hydraulique annulaire, qui est agencé autour du rotor de suspension de façon à ce que son axe central soit coaxial à l'axe de rotation de ce dernier, est connecté au deuxième anneau pour faire varier la position verticale de celui-ci. En changeant dès lors, à l'aide de ce cylindre hydraulique annulaire, la position verticale du deuxième anneau immobile en rotation, on fait coulisser le premier anneau à l'aide du dispositif de guidage, verticalement le long du rotor, et on produit ainsi un pivotement de la goulotte autour de son axe de pivotement. Il sera apprécié que le mécanisme formé par le cylindre hydraulique annulaire les deux anneaux, l'anneau de roulement et le dispositif de guidage constitue une chaíne de transmission astucieuse et fiable pour d'importants efforts de pivotement.This problem is solved by a device according to claim 1. Such a device comprises, in a manner known per se, a suspension rotor mounted in a support frame so that it can rotate around an axis of substantially vertical rotation. The chute is suspended from this rotor so as to be able to pivot around a substantially horizontal suspension axis. The rotor of suspension is traversed axially by a supply channel of the chute. The device includes a very simple pivoting mechanism for change the inclination of the suspended chute in the rotor. This mechanism includes first and second rings, both of which are arranged around the rotor, so that their central axis is coaxial with the axis of rotor rotation. A guide device, integral in rotation with the rotor, is connected between the rotor and the first ring, so that the latter can slide axially along the rotor. At least one connection element connects the first ring to the chute, so as to transform a sliding vertical of the first ring in a pivoting of the chute around its pivot axis. The first and second rings are connected by through a rolling ring. An annular hydraulic cylinder, which is arranged around the suspension rotor so that its central axis either coaxial with the latter's axis of rotation, is connected to the second ring to vary the vertical position of it. By changing from there, using of this annular hydraulic cylinder, the vertical position of the second ring stationary in rotation, the first ring is made to slide with the aid of the guide, vertically along the rotor, and thus produces a pivoting of the chute around its pivot axis. It will be appreciated that the mechanism formed by the annular hydraulic cylinder the two rings, the ring of bearing and the guide device constitutes a transmission chain clever and reliable for large pivoting forces.
La goulotte comprend de préférence deux bras latéraux de suspension et le rotor deux paliers latéraux, dans lesquels les bras de suspension sont suspendus de façon à ce que la goulotte puisse pivoter autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal. Des bielles peuvent alors connecter le premier anneau à chacun des bras de suspension de la goulotte, de façon à transformer un coulissement vertical du premier anneau en un pivotement de la goulotte autour de son axe de pivotement.The chute preferably comprises two lateral suspension arms and the rotor two lateral bearings, in which the suspension arms are suspended so that the chute can pivot about an axis substantially horizontal. Connecting rods can then connect the first ring to each of the suspension arms of the chute, so as to transform a vertical sliding of the first ring in a pivoting of the chute around of its pivot axis.
Le dispositif de guidage connecté entre le premier anneau et le rotor comprend de préférence plusieurs rails verticaux montés sur le rotor et des galets montés sur le premier anneau et guidés dans les rails. Un excellent guidage est obtenu lorsqu'une paire de galets espacés verticalement est guidé dans chaque rail.The guide device connected between the first ring and the rotor comprises preferably several vertical rails mounted on the rotor and rollers mounted on the first ring and guided in the rails. Excellent guidance is obtained when a pair of vertically spaced rollers is guided in each rail.
Il sera apprécié qu'on présente aussi des solutions simples et efficaces pour protéger les éléments à l'intérieur de la carcasse de support notamment contre la chaleur. Ainsi, on propose par exemple d'intercaler un écran tubulaire immobile en rotation équipé d'un circuit de refroidissement entre le canal d'alimentation et le rotor de suspension. On propose aussi de munir la carcasse de support à son extrémité inférieure d'un écran annulaire fixe, qui est équipé d'un circuit de refroidissement et définit une ouverture centrale circulaire, tandis que le rotor de suspension est équipé à son extrémité inférieure d'un collet qui est ajusté avec jeu dans cette ouverture centrale circulaire. Une conduite d'injection d'un gaz est dans ce cas avantageusement agencée le long de l'ouverture centrale circulaire de l'écran annulaire fixe, de façon à pouvoir injecter un gaz de refroidissement dans des cavités débouchant dans le bord latéral du collet.It will be appreciated that we also present simple and effective solutions to protect the elements inside the support frame in particular against heat. Thus, it is proposed for example to insert a tubular screen stationary in rotation equipped with a cooling circuit between the channel power supply and the suspension rotor. We also propose to equip the carcass support at its lower end with a fixed annular screen, which is equipped a cooling circuit and defines a circular central opening, while that the suspension rotor is fitted at its lower end with a collar which is adjusted with play in this circular central opening. A conduct gas injection is in this case advantageously arranged along the circular central opening of the fixed annular screen, so that inject cooling gas into cavities opening into the edge side of the collar.

du dispositif 12. Le signe de référence 18 indique l'axe central du canal d'alimentation
16, qui sera habituellement coaxial à l'axe central du four à cuve 10.Figure 1 shows schematically a distribution
Sur la Figure 1, la goulotte 14 est montrée dans deux positions d'inclinaison.
En traits pleins, elle a une inclinaison de façon à dévier la matière en vrac
s'écoulant à travers le canal d'alimentation 16 dans la zone périphérique du
four. En traits interrompus, son inclinaison est telle que la matière en vrac est
déversée dans la zone centrale du four à cuve 10.In Figure 1, the
Le dispositif de répartition de matières en vrac 12 sera maintenant étudié
plus en détail en se référant simultanément aux Figures 1 à 3. La goulotte 14
est munie à son extrémité supérieure de deux bras de suspension latéraux 20,
20' (sur la Figure 1, le bras 20' est caché par le bras 20). Un rotor de suspension
22, suspendu dans une carcasse de support 32 de façon à pouvoir tourner
autour de l'axe 18, supporte deux paliers de suspension 24, 24'. Dans chacun
de ces deux paliers de suspension 24, 24' est monté un bras de suspension 20,
20' de la goulotte 14, de façon à ce que ces deux paliers 24, 24' définissent
pour la goulotte 14 un axe de pivotement sensiblement horizontal. Cet axe de
pivotement est repéré par le chiffre de référence 26 sur la Figure 2.The
Le rotor 22 peut être assimilé à un tube, qui entoure le canal d'alimentation
16, porte à son extrémité inférieure les paliers 24, 24', et possède à son
extrémité supérieure un collet de suspension 30. Un roulement de grand
diamètre 28, monté sur le collet de suspension 30, suspend le rotor 22 dans la
carcasse de support 32, de façon à définir son axe de rotation 18. Un moteur
électrique ou hydraulique 34 (il s'agit de préférence d'un moteur à vitesse de
rotation variable) sert à entraíner en rotation le rotor 22, et dès lors aussi la
goulotte 14, autour de l'axe 18. A cette fin, un pignon 36 du moteur d'entraínement
34 s'engrène avec une couronne dentée 38, portée par exemple par le
collet de suspension 30.The
La carcasse de support 32 est une carcasse étanche supportée elle-même
sur la tête du four à cuve 10. Elle présente à son extrémité supérieure
une plaque 40, qui est munie d'une ouverture de passage pour un tube d'usure
42, qui définit le canal d'alimentation 16. Dans un espace annulaire subsistant
entre le rotor 22 et le tube d'usure 42 est avantageusement intercalé un écran
immobile en rotation 44 équipé d'un circuit de refroidissement fermé. Cet écran
de refroidissement 44 sert notamment à refroidir la surface intérieure du rotor
22.The
A son extrémité inférieure, la carcasse 32 est munie d'un écran annulaire
46. Ce dernier est équipé d'un circuit de refroidissement 48 sur sa surface
supérieure et d'une isolation thermique 50 sur sa surface inférieure. Il définit
une ouverture centrale dans laquelle est ajusté un collet 52 équipant l'extrémité
inférieure du rotor de suspension 22. Le collet 52 comprend une plaque
supérieure 54, qui est protégée vers le bas par une isolation thermique 56.
Entre la plaque supérieure 54 et l'isolation thermique 56 subsiste un vide 58
accessible à partir du bord latéral du collet 52. Une conduite 60 est agencée le
long de l'ouverture centrale de l'écran annulaire fixe 46. Cette conduite 60 est
raccordée à une source de gaz de refroidissement, et elle est munie sur toute
sa longueur d'orifices de sortie orientés de façon à pouvoir injecter ce gaz de
refroidissement à travers les embouchures 58 dans les cavités du collet 52.At its lower end, the
Reste à signaler que le collet 52 est muni de deux fentes de passage pour
les bras de suspension 20, 20' de la goulotte 14. Vu que les bras 20, 20' sont
délimités au niveau des deux extrémités des fentes de passage par des
surfaces cylindriques 62, 64, dont les axes coïncident avec l'axe de pivotement
de la goulotte 14, les bras 20, 20' assurent une obturation importante des fentes
de passage pour tout angle d'inclinaison de la goulotte 14.It remains to be noted that the
Le mécanisme qui permet de changer l'inclinaison de la goulotte 14 sera
maintenant décrit plus en détail à l'aide des Figures 1 et 3. Le signe de référence
66 repère un premier anneau agencé autour du rotor 22 de façon à ce
que son axe central soit coaxial à l'axe de rotation de celui-ci. Ce premier
anneau 66 est connecté au rotor 22 par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de
guidage, qui permet au premier anneau de coulisser axialement le long du rotor
22. Dans une exécution préférée, ce dispositif de guidage comprend des rails
de guidage 681 ... 684, et des galets guidage 701 ... 704. Les rails de guidage
681 ... 684 sont fixés verticalement sur la paroi extérieure du rotor 22. Les galets
de guidage 701 ... 704 sont montés sur le premier anneau 66 et guidés verticalement
dans les rails 681 ... 684 pour centrer le premier anneau 66 par rapport
au rotor 22, lors de son coulissement vertical. Un excellent centrage de l'anneau
66 dans les rails 701 ... 704 est obtenu lorsqu'à chaque rail de guidage 681
... 684 est associée une paire de galets de guidage 701, 701' (cf. Figure 1), qui
sont montés avec espacement vertical sur des bras de support 72, 72' fixés au
premier anneau 66. Une bielle 73, 73' connecte le premier anneau 66 à chacun
des bras de suspension 20, 20' de la goulotte 14. Ces bielles 73, 73' transforment
un déplacement vertical du premier anneau 66 en un pivotement de la
goulotte 14 autour de son axe de pivotement 26. Le signe de référence 74
repère un deuxième anneau agencé autour du rotor 22 de façon à ce que son
axe central soit coaxial à l'axe de rotation 18 de celui-ci. Un anneau de roulement
76 de grand diamètre connecte ce deuxième anneau 74 au premier
anneau 66. Cet anneau de roulement 76 permet une rotation relative des deux
anneaux 66, 74, tout en assurant une transmission d'efforts verticaux. Il s'ensuit
que des moyens de commande immobiles en rotation peuvent être connectés
au deuxième anneau 74, pour faire varier la position verticale du premier
anneau 66 sur le rotor de suspension 22 en rotation.The mechanism which makes it possible to change the inclination of the
Sur les Figures 1 et 3 on voit une première exécution de ces moyens de
commande. Celle-ci est décrite à titre d'exemple comparatif et n'est pas en
conformité avec l'invention revendiquée. Il s'agit d'un mécanisme à levier
actionné par un cylindre hydraulique 80 installé à l'extérieur de la carcasse de
support 32. Le mécanisme à levier comprend un levier à articulation intermédiaire
muni d'un bras de support 82 et d'un bras d'actionnement 84. Sur la
Figure 3 on voit que le bras de support 82 a la forme d'une fourche, qui est
connectée à l'aide de deux bielles 86, 86' au deuxième anneau 74 sur deux
points diamétralement opposés . Sur la Figure 1 on voit une vue de front de la
bielle 86. Le levier comprend deux pivots de suspension 88, 88' logés dans des
paliers de suspension 90, 90'. Ces derniers sont supportés par la carcasse de
support 32 de façon à définir pour le levier un axe de pivotement sensiblement
horizontal 92. Le bras d'actionnement 84 est porté par le pivot de suspension
88, qui sort de façon étanche de la carcasse de support 32 à travers le palier de
suspension 90. Le cylindre hydraulique 80 est connecté entre le bras d'actionnement
84 et un bras d'appui 94, qui est fixé rigidement à la carcasse de
support 32.Figures 1 and 3 show a first execution of these means of
ordered. This is described by way of comparative example and is not in
conformity with the claimed invention. It is a lever mechanism
actuated by a
Dans la Figure 1, un raccourcissement du cylindre hydraulique 80 fait pivoter
le levier 82, 84 autour de son axe de pivotement 92 dans le sens de la
flèche 96. Le bras de support 82 soulève, par l'intermédiaire des bielles 86, 86',
le deuxième anneau 74. Ce dernier soulève, par l'intermédiaire de l'anneau de
roulement 76, le premier anneau 66, qui est en rotation avec le rotor de suspension
22 autour de l'axe 18. Les bielles 73, 73' font alors pivoter la goulotte
14 autour de son axe de pivotement 26 dans le sens de la flèche 98. Vu que le
centre de gravité de la goulotte se trouve dans la position initiale de la goulotte
(c'est-à-dire la position montrée en traits pleins) à droite du plan vertical
contenant l'axe de pivotement 26 de la goulotte 14, il suffit de décharger le
cylindre 80 pour faire pivoter la goulotte dans le sens inverse de la flèche 98
sous l'effet de son propre poids.In Figure 1, a shortening of the
Sur la Figure 4 on voit une deuxième exécution des moyens de commande
pour faire varier la position verticale du deuxième anneau 74. Celle-ci
est également décrite à titre d'exemple comparatif et n'est pas en conformité
avec l'invention revendiquée. Il s'agit de cylindres hydrauliques uniformément
répartis dans la carcasse de support 32 autour du rotor 22. Les boítiers 102 de
ces cylindres 100 sont supportés verticalement par un anneau fixe 104, qui est
fixé à la carcasse de support 32 verticalement au-dessus du deuxième anneau
74. Les tiges 106 de ces cylindres 100 sont connectés, de préférence à l'aide
d'une articulation sphérique 108, au deuxième anneau 74. Un raccourcissement
des cylindres hydrauliques 100 soulève le deuxième anneau 74. Ce dernier
soulève, par l'intermédiaire de l'anneau de roulement 76, le premier anneau 66,
qui est en rotation avec le rotor de suspension 22 autour de l'axe 18. Les bielles
73, 73' font alors pivoter la goulotte 14 autour de son axe de pivotement 26
dans le sens de la flèche 98. Reste à noter que le signe de référence 110
repère un indicateur de position des cylindres hydrauliques 100. In Figure 4 we see a second execution of the control means
to vary the vertical position of the
Sur la Figure 5 on voit une exécution des moyens de commande pour
faire varier la position verticale du deuxième anneau 74 en conformité avec
l'invention revendiquée. Il s'agit d'un cylindre hydraulique annulaire 120 agencé
autour du rotor de façon à ce que son axe central soit coaxial à l'axe de rotation
de celui-ci. Le cylindre hydraulique annulaire comprend un boítier annulaire
122, qui est supporté verticalement par un anneau fixe 124, qui est fixé à la
carcasse de support 32 verticalement au-dessus du deuxième anneau 74. Son
piston annulaire 126, qui est bloqué en rotation, est fixé au deuxième anneau
74. Le signe de référence 128 repère un indicateur de position du cylindre
hydraulique annulaire 120.In Figure 5 we see an execution of the control means for
varying the vertical position of the
