Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trocknungsanlage zum Trocknen aller rieselfähigen Produkte, insbesondere aber zum Trocknen von Getreide gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a drying system for drying all free-flowing Products, but especially for drying grain according to the generic term of claim 1.

Bei einer solchen Trockenanlage wird das zu trocknende Gut in der Regel von oben in einen Trocknungsturm eingebracht, welchen es durch die Schwerkraft von oben nach unten durchläuft und dabei mittels Warmluft getrocknet wird. An zwei Seiten des Trockenturms sind weitere Türme vorgesehen, um die durch den Trockenturm geleitete Warmluft zu- und abzuführen. Der Turm zum Zuführen der Warmluft wird dabei als Zulufthaube und der Turm zum Abführen der Luft als Ablufthaube bezeichnet.In such a drying system, the material to be dried is usually from above placed in a drying tower, which it is by gravity from above runs downwards and is dried by means of warm air. On two sides of the drying tower, additional towers are provided to pass through the drying tower supply and discharge of warm air. The tower for supplying the warm air will thereby as a supply air hood and the tower for discharging the air as an exhaust air hood designated.

Bei bisher bekannten Trockenanlagen besteht der Trockenturm aus aufeinandergestapelten Trockenmodulen. Die Zuluft- und Ablufthaube bestehen aus vielen untereinander verbundenen Blechteilen mit Aussteifungselementen, welche außen isoliert und mit dünnen Fassadenblechen verkleidet werden können.In previously known drying plants, the drying tower consists of stacked drying modules. The supply air and extract air hoods consist of many interconnected sheet metal parts with stiffening elements, which insulated on the outside and covered with thin facade sheets.

Dieser Trockneraufbau ist zumindest als Konstruktion für die Zuluft- und Ablufthaube zu teuer und zu kompliziert.This dryer structure is at least as a construction for the supply air and extract air hood too expensive and too complicated.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Trockenanlage zu schaffen, die wesentlich günstiger hergestellt werden kann.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a drying plant create that can be manufactured much cheaper.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. This object is achieved according to the invention by that in claim 1 specified characteristics. Appropriate embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Durch die Verwendung von Wellblech als Wandmaterial für die Zuluft- und Ablufthaube der Trockenanlage sind umfangreiche und teuere Aussteifungselemente für die Hauben nicht mehr erforderlich. Das Wellblech hat aufgrund seiner Wellenform genügend Eigenstabilität, um auch ohne Aussteifungselemente eingesetzt zu werden. Als "Wellblech" wird in dieser Beschreibung jedes gewellte Material, z.B. auch Kunststoff verstanden.By using corrugated iron as wall material for the supply air and Exhaust hood of the drying system are extensive and expensive Bracing elements for the hoods no longer required. The corrugated iron has due to its waveform enough inherent stability to be without Bracing elements to be used. This is called "corrugated iron" Description of each corrugated material, e.g. also understood plastic.

Eine besonders hohe Stabilität ergibt sich, wenn die Wandung der Hauben im Querschnitt etwa halbkreisförmig ist. Dann ist es ausreichend, die Hauben nur entlang ihrer Seitenkanten am Trockenturm zu befestigen und dennoch eine stabile Konstruktion zu erhalten. Andere Haubenformen sind ebenfalls denkbar. Falls erforderlich können die Hauben zusätzlich mittels senkrechter Stützen gestützt werden.A particularly high stability results if the wall of the hoods in the Cross section is approximately semicircular. Then it is sufficient, the hoods only to attach to the drying tower along its side edges and still be stable Get construction. Other hood shapes are also conceivable. If the hoods can also be supported using vertical supports become.

Die Wellblechwandung der Hauben besteht, je nach Größe der Anlage, aus mehreren vertikal übereinander geschichteten Bahnen oder einer einzigen nahtlosen Bahn. Neben den Zuluft- und Ablufthauben kann auch der Trockenturm mit Wellblech verkleidet sein.The corrugated sheet wall of the hoods consists of, depending on the size of the system several vertically stacked webs or a single one seamless web. In addition to the supply air and extract air hoods, the drying tower can also be used be clad with corrugated iron.

Die Wandkonstruktion der Hauben kann auch doppelwandig sein, wobei wenigstens eine der Wandungen aus Wellblech bestehen sollte. Zwischen die zwei Wandungen ist üblicherweise ein Isolationsmaterial, wie z. B. Mineralwolle eingesetzt. Wenn die Wellenrichtung des Wellblechs vertikal verläuft, wird das zwischen den Wandungen befindliche Isolationsmaterial automatisch festgehalten und kann insbesondere nicht nach unten abrutschen.The wall construction of the hoods can also be double-walled, at least one of the walls should be made of corrugated iron. Between the two walls is usually an insulation material, such as. B. mineral wool used. If the Corrugation of the corrugated sheet runs vertically, that is between the walls insulation material located automatically and in particular can not slide down.

Falls beide Wandungen aus Wellblech bestehen, sind die Wellen vorzugsweise synchron oder asynchron angeordnet.If both walls are made of corrugated iron, the waves are preferred arranged synchronously or asynchronously.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Fig. 1 bis 3 beispielhaft näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Trockenanlage 1 umfaßt drei Türme 2, 3, 4, von denen der eigentliche Trockenturm 3 in der Mitte angeordnet ist. Am oberen Ende des Trockenturmes 3 ist eine Zufuhr-Einrichtung 6 für das zu trocknende Gut vorgesehen.The drying plant 1 shown in Fig. 1 comprises three towers 2, 3, 4, of which the actual drying tower 3 is arranged in the middle. At the top of the Drying tower 3 is a feed device 6 for the material to be dried intended.

Im Inneren des Trockenturms 3 ist eine Vielzahl von Trockenmodulen (nicht gezeigt) angeordnet, die mittels Warmluft erwärmt werden und zwischen denen, von oben nach unten das zu trocknende Gut läuft.A plurality of drying modules (not shown) are located inside the drying tower 3. arranged, which are heated by means of warm air and between those from above the material to be dried runs down.

Die Trockenanlage 1 umfaßt außerdem eine Zulufthaube 2 und eine Ablufthaube 4, die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Trockenturms 3 angeordnet sind. Die Hauben 2, 4 dienen zum Zuführen bzw. Abführen von Warmluft, die durch den dazwischen liegenden Trockenturm 3 geleitet wird. Die mit Feuchtigkeit gesättigte Abluft wird schließlich durch einen Luftauslaß 5 ausgeblasen.The drying system 1 also includes an air intake hood 2 and an exhaust air hood 4, which are arranged on opposite sides of the drying tower 3. The Hoods 2, 4 are used for supplying or removing hot air through the intermediate drying tower 3 is passed. The one saturated with moisture Exhaust air is finally blown out through an air outlet 5.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Trockenanlage im Querschnitt. Der Trockenturm 3 ist dabei im wesentlichen rechteckig, während die Zuluft- und Ablufthaube 2, 4 etwa halbkreisförmig gebildet sind.Fig. 2 shows the drying plant in cross section. The drying tower 3 is in the essentially rectangular, while the supply and exhaust hood 2, 4 approximately are semicircular.

Die aus Wellblech bestehende Wandung der Zuluft- und Ablufthaube ist dabei mit ihren Außenkanten am Trockenturm 3 befestigt. Zur zusätzlichen Stabilisierung können Stützen 7, beispielsweise Stahlträger, vorgesehen werden, welche etwa in der Mitte entlang des Umfangs, d.h. im Scheitelpunkt der Hauben angeordnet werden können. The wall of the supply air and exhaust air hood made of corrugated iron is included their outer edges attached to the drying tower 3. For additional stabilization can be provided supports 7, for example steel beams, which are approximately in the center along the circumference, i.e. arranged at the apex of the hoods can be.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine isolierte Doppelwandkonstruktion im Vertikalabschnitt mit zwei Wellblechwandungen 9, 10, zwischen denen ein Isolationsmaterial 11 angeordnet ist.Fig. 3 shows an insulated double wall construction in the vertical section with two Corrugated sheet metal walls 9, 10, between which an insulation material 11 is arranged is.

Die Wandungen 9, 10 sind dabei parallel und in ihrer Welligkeit synchron angeordnet, wobei die Wellenrichtung 12 vertikal verläuft. Das zwischen die Wandungen 9, 10 eingesetzte Isolationsmaterial 11 wird dadurch automatisch festgehalten und kann insbesondere nicht durch die Schwerkraft absacken. Kältebrücken können somit erst gar nicht entstehen.The walls 9, 10 are parallel and synchronous in their ripple arranged, the shaft direction 12 extending vertically. That between the Insulation material 11 used for walls 9, 10 thereby becomes automatic held and in particular can not sag by gravity. Cold bridges can therefore not arise at all.
