Definitions

  • Vibratory conveyors are used to transport particles of essentially any shape known.
  • Such vibratory conveyors are shaped similar to a transport chute, wherein the conveyor substantially trough shape or a U-shaped Cross section has.
  • This conveyor chute has only a slight incline in the conveying direction on, so that when not activated vibration drive to be transported Particles remain on the conveyor. When activated Vibration drive, the particles are then gravity in the conveying direction removed.
  • a disadvantage of such conveyors is that elongated Particles at least up to a width of the trough shape corresponding Size expansion disorderly arbitrarily aligned on the conveyor and stay. An alignment of elongated particles is not intended and is with not reached the known in practice Hinttel connectedem.
  • From DE 196 46 753 A1 is a device for quality and / or sizing Smaller products known.
  • small-sized Products such as potato chips, French fries, lentils or the like as possible defined and separated from each other an optoelectronic To be able to feed image converter, there is the receiving surface of a vibrating conveyor divided into 24 parallel single channels. Fin-like Conductive agents are designed to ensure uniform sorting of small parts on the various Provide channels.
  • DE 41 27 270 A1 proposes a device for classifying of tobacco particles.
  • a vibratory conveyor with a running in the conveying direction groove profile, which is transverse to the conveying direction interrupted by slits. Long tobacco pieces cross the Slits, short are thrown off. This allows stalk and rib parts, which are unsuitable for cigarette making, from the others Tobacco pieces are separated.
  • DE 33 19 032 A1 discloses a device for screening of Metal chips proposed by means of a vibrating screen.
  • the sieve bottom provided with extending in the conveying direction longitudinal grooves. The swarf screen leaves then fall through those metal chips whose longitudinal dimension is smaller than the Screen hole width is.
  • EP 0 135 355 A2 proposes to solve the problem, from a flat Trout gutter parallel to each other some guide webs of rectangular cross-section and flat top edge, which is then over a crossbar lead away. While small particles from the guide webs largely walk undisturbed in the trough and just fall through the gap here, are largely longitudinally aligned elongated particles between the Aligned guide webs and can in this way the gap bridge and continue on the other side of the trough. Rather transverse-oriented elongated particles are from the guide webs upwards and in this way bridged over the gap and thus arrive also on the other side of the Trogrinne.
  • the device is like that exclusively meant to be a minority of elongated particles of solid given diameter and uniform type of shorter particles likewise of a fixed type.
  • this arrangement is neither thought nor suitable, as immediately fix parts between the guide webs and would jam and therefore after a short time a total failure of Arrangement occurs.
  • the US-PS 41 43 769 proposes a screening device for screening Screws and other reusable small parts from the scrap abandoned railway lines.
  • the scrap particles are on a Dried gutter with parallel spaced rods.
  • the Screws fall into the gap, the irregular slightly larger parts run on the poles and so can one at the end of the rods bridge the gap provided, into which the screws fall.
  • a Alignment is not intended, cables and similarly shaped parts would just get stuck and clog the barrel, as well as non-metallic ones sorting particles. Unfavorably arranged large particles can nevertheless be removed with the small parts.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for aligning and Sorting of elongated particles of different size extent with to propose a trough-shaped vibrating conveyor, with which also material different order of magnitude can be sorted.
  • the device will be randomly oriented particles, including those with elongated size expansion supplied.
  • the trained in conveying direction Channel profiles at the bottom of the Trognnne the vibrating conveyor lead to an alignment this elongated particle with its longitudinal axis in the conveying direction.
  • the elongated particles such as cables, pins or rods, on the longitudinal profiles during Fördems surprisingly relatively fast out.
  • larger-area particles bridge several channel profiles and thus are not aligned.
  • the device for discharging elongated particles at the downstream End of the Haittel tellers can preferably be formed by either a height gradation and a horizontal distance or gap to a second funding is provided and / or that the channel profile bottoms on downstream end of the vibrating conveyor in the conveying direction before the dividing webs end up.
  • a height gradation and a horizontal distance or gap provided to a second conveyor is such a vibrating conveyor for sorting particles of different Magnitude can be used.
  • the vibration of the vibrating conveyor is randomly supplied material of different sizes, as for example contained in collecting containers, aligned along the vibrating conveyor, where small sized particles slip into one of the channels and there be guided in the "wave trough" in the conveying direction.
  • Elongated and stick-shaped particles are, as explained above, by a rotational movement about a transverse axis align the particle during the promotion and into one of the gutters slip and also in the "wave trough" are led.
  • lie large-area materials such as plate residues, paper o. The like.
  • gutter profile bottoms at the downstream end of the Vibratory conveyor in the conveying direction in front of the dividers can also end the elongated particles transported in the trough are sorted out.
  • the elongated transported in the trough Particles as well as the small particles not the second funding achieve what only the large particles on the dividing webs bridging, reach the second conveyor.
  • dividers are formed on which larger format, do not rest elongated particles and without special orientation be transported.
  • the cross section of the dividers has a semi-circular arch shape curved in the opposite direction to the channel profile bottom.
  • the conveying plane of the vibrating conveyor is in Essentially formed "corrugated sheet". Such a profiled ground is easy to produce and has an increased intrinsic stability.
  • gap separation In particular in connection with the provision of a horizontal distance to a second conveying means, to be referred to as gap separation for short, becomes a reliable sorting of the aligned, elongated particles allows.
  • FIG. 1 the end of a vibrating conveyor 1 according to the invention is shown in a schematic spatial view in the neck.
  • the vibrating conveyor 1 has a U or trough shape with two higher side walls 11, 11 and a bottom 12 connecting the side walls 11, 11.
  • the top of the bottom 12 has six Gutter profiles 13 on. Between the gutter profiles dividers 14 are provided. The channel profiles 13 and the separating webs 14 are parallel to the conveying direction X aligned.
  • the gutter profile 13 and the divider 14 have in cross-section substantially Semicircular shape with substantially the same radius but opposite Curvature direction, so that a wave-shaped surface of the bottom 12th results.
  • FIG. 2 shows , in a schematic spatial view, a sorting arrangement with a vibrating conveyor according to the exemplary embodiment explained with reference to FIG.
  • the downstream end 15 of the vibrating conveyor 1 is arranged above a conveying plane 21 of a second conveying means 2.
  • a horizontal gap is also formed between the downstream end 15 of the vibrating conveyor 1 and the upstream end 22 of the second conveying means 2 designed as a conveyor belt. This geometric arrangement forms a gap separating cut for sorting the supplied particles.
  • Another conveyor 3 which also serves as a conveyor belt is formed, arranged.
  • the further conveyor belt 3 is arranged the conveying direction Y is substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction X of the Main flow rate is so that falling through the gap, sorted out Particles are transported laterally for further processing or collection.
  • the particles P to be aligned and sorted differ in size including elongated particles become random and disordered fed to the vibrating conveyor 1.
  • the particles slip with small size expansion in the troughs of the gutter profiles 13.
  • the elongated particles are in the Transport process rotated about a transverse axis and also fall into a trough the gutter profiles 13. Large-scale particles, however, are over-bridging on the dividers 14 and are transported on this resting.
  • the particles of smaller magnitude P 1 fall through the gap to the other conveyor belt 3.
  • the supported on the partitions large particles P 2 bridge at the downstream end 15 of the shaker conveyor 1 as soon as their center of gravity reaches the edge.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in a schematic spatial view in section, in which the downstream end 15 of the vibrating conveyor 1 is designed so that the dividing webs 14 or "peaks" of the bottom 12 of the vibrating conveyor 1 are made longer than the channel bottoms of the channel profiles 13
  • the channel profiles thus have a reset downstream end 16.
  • the elongated particles that are in the trough the gutter profile 13 are located, of the resting on the dividing webs 14 large particles are separated.
  • the in the gutter profiles 13th already transported elongated particles overturn already at the reset downstream end 16 with its center of gravity so that this Particles the height-graded and horizontally spaced downstream conveyor belt 2 can not reach and arranged in a below the gap area Collecting container or fall on another conveyor belt 3.
  • the Large-area particles are separated by the separating webs which continue in the conveying direction held. Only when the center of gravity is exceeded on the downstream side At the end of these partitions 14, the large-area particles tip over, then the height graduation and the horizontal gap bridging on the second conveyor belt 2 arrive and be transported away.
  • parts of the Trogrinne without such a gutter profile So for example, equip with a flat floor to a uniform Distributing the elongated particles to sort to sort P on the trough, before then aligning and sorting in the section with the aligned channel profiles takes place.
