Definitions

  • the invention relates to a salt spreader device, which comprises a device for moistening spreading material, for winter service use.
  • Streusalz to be scattered is usually moistened before it is spread. It is assumed that with moistened salt the tau effect of the salt starts faster and the flying properties of the road salt are positively influenced. However, a moistening of the road salt can lead long before spreading to clumping the road salt still in the reservoir, whereby the spreading would be much more difficult. Humidification therefore takes place essentially only at the moment of the scattering process.
  • the road salt and the sols used to moisten the road salt are carried in separate containers on a winter utility vehicle and mixed together only at the time of actual scattering by the two components are selectively supplied, for example, a rotating spreading disc specifically in a narrowly defined area.
  • the brine supply takes place by means of an overflow container at a central point of the spreading plate, while the road salt is directed against a baffle plate, from which it strikes with a radial component on the spreading plate.
  • the mixing of salt and brine takes place on the spreading plate.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to show ways how a better moisture penetration of the scattering material can be achieved.
  • the device of the invention has a Streussoffanfeuchtungsvorraum with a passage for the scattering material to which the liquid for moistening the scattering material is supplied from several sides simultaneously.
  • openings in particular nozzles, are arranged distributed around the passage in this wall or in its wall, which are connected via at least one supply line to a liquid reservoir and supplied by the latter with the pre-wet liquid.
  • the liquid supplied via the supply line then flows through the openings or nozzles into the passage and mixes with the passed through the passage through the scattering current. In this way, uniform wetting of the scattering substance can be achieved.
  • the device according to the invention is comparable to an annular nozzle.
  • the term “ring nozzle” will be used below.
  • the scattering material is usually supplied by a scattering container, a downpipe or a chute, through which the scattering material of gravity is fed to the spreading plate.
  • the annular nozzle is provided at the upper end of the drop tube, particularly advantageously directly at the feed opening, since then a further thorough mixing of the scattering substance with brine takes place over the entire drop zone.
  • the drop tube does not necessarily have to be vertical, but may be wholly or partially inclined and form a chute.
  • annular nozzle has between the openings or nozzles and the liquid supply at least one hollow chamber which surrounds the passage.
  • the liquid is then supplied to the hollow chamber and can be distributed in the hollow chamber around the passage so that it flows through all the orifices simultaneously and with the same pressure into the passage.
  • the liquid flows in the radial direction into the passage, so that the individual jets meet with sufficient jet pressure in the center of the hollow chamber and the liquid atomized and / or swirled accordingly.
  • This effect is maximum when two nozzles are arranged diametrically opposite each other, as the Liquid jets then meet perpendicular to each other.
  • the radial orientation of the nozzles offers the advantage that the quantity of scattering material is already penetrated into the interior of liquid at the first contact with the liquid.
  • a structurally particularly simple embodiment provides that the openings or nozzles are formed as holes in a wall of the passage or in a wall of the hollow chamber surrounding the passage.
  • the beam width then depends essentially on the opening diameter, the number of openings over the circumference of the passage and the height of the liquid column in the hollow chamber.
  • the hollow chamber may also be pressurized, so that the beam width depends not on the liquid column but on the pressure applied from the outside to the liquid.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides a spout-like, projecting into the passage protuberance of the nozzle openings.
  • a plurality of groups of openings or nozzles are arranged distributed around the passage and each form a nozzle ring.
  • the nozzle rings can be spaced apart in the direction of the scattering substance passage be, ie be superimposed, and / or may differ from each other in that the nozzles of a nozzle ring have a different diameter than the nozzles of another nozzle ring.
  • the diameter of the nozzles of the lowermost nozzle ring is smaller than the diameter of the nozzles of one or more overlying nozzle rings. Because due to the smaller passage openings, the liquid level in the lower part of the hollow chamber initially rises relatively quickly, so that even with small spread rates and correspondingly small amounts of brine, a sufficiently high pressure is built up to inject the brine to the center of the annular nozzle. In particular, it is prevented that the brine runs down only on the annular wall.
  • the supply of the liquid to the hollow chamber is preferably carried out over two or more uniformly around the circumference of the hollow chamber arranged feed connection points, so that the hollow chamber fills as uniformly as possible with liquid and the liquid accordingly emerges from all nozzles of a nozzle ring with approximately the same jet pressure.
  • the feed connection points are preferably placed so that the liquid supplied does not impinge directly on the nozzle outlet openings but preferably between the nozzles. This serves the favorable distribution of the liquid within the ring, which is considered optimal when the liquid is introduced via the supply connection points in the radial direction in the hollow chamber, so that it impinges perpendicular to the opposite hollow chamber wall between the nozzle openings provided there.
  • a baffle plate can be provided in front of the supply connection points.
  • FIG. 1 is shown schematically in cross section the side view of a spreader.
  • the scattering material is supplied from a storage container, not shown, by means of a suitable conveying device, for example a conveyor belt or a screw conveyor, through a feed channel 1 to the upper end 2 of a drop tube 3.
  • a suitable conveying device for example a conveyor belt or a screw conveyor
  • the scattering material exits and falls onto a scattering agent distributor in the form of a rotating about a rotation axis 5 scattering plate 6, from which the scattering material is dropped by centrifugal force approximately in the horizontal direction.
  • the downpipe 3 is formed telescopically in order to adapt the device to different gritting vehicles.
  • the inclination of the downpipe may be greater or lesser than that in the FIG. 1 is shown.
  • the use of a continuously vertical downpipe is not completely excluded, although the slip effect of an inclined at least in the lower part downpipe facilitates a positionally accurate supply of the scattering material on the spreading plate 6.
  • a moistening device 8 Between the upper end 2 of the drop tube 3 and an opening 7 in the feed channel 1, through which the supplied scattering material passes, is a moistening device 8 provided.
  • the moistening device 8 has a passage 12 bounded by a wall 13. It preferably comprises an annular hollow chamber 9, in which via two opposing feed lines 10 in the radial direction liquid or brine is introduced. The brine then passes through nozzles 11 out of the hollow chamber 9 into the passage 12 formed in this embodiment by the wall 13 of the annular hollow chamber in the direction of the single arrows.
  • the openings 11 in the wall 13 of the passage 12 for introducing the liquid into the passage 12, or the preferred nozzles, are formed by holes in the inner housing wall 13 of the hollow chamber 9.
  • the nozzle openings 11 are distributed at regular intervals around the inner housing wall 13 and in several planes. Each in-plane group of nozzles form a nozzle ring.
  • the in FIG. 1 illustrated passage 12 has three such superimposed nozzle rings with 8 nozzles per nozzle ring.
  • the flow pressure with which the liquid, in particular brine, is forced out of the hollow chamber 9 through the openings 11 essentially depends on the liquid column prevailing in the hollow chamber 9, which in turn depends on the quantity of liquid supplied by the supply lines 10.
  • the nozzles 11 of the lower nozzle ring level in approximately the same amount in the passage 12 inject as the nozzles of the overlying nozzle ring levels, the nozzles 11 of the lower nozzle ring plane have a correspondingly smaller diameter, which increases the throttle effect of these nozzles.
  • nozzles 11 are located in FIG. 1 illustrated nozzle rings vertically above one another. But the nozzle rings could also be arranged offset from each other for the purpose of more uniform humidification of the nozzle scattering material by a certain angle relative to the scattering material passage direction.
  • moistening device 8 has three superimposed nozzle rings. Instead, however, only one or two or optionally more than three nozzle rings may be provided.
  • FIG. 2 A moistening device equipped with three nozzle rings and a hollow chamber 9 is shown in detail in FIG. 2 shown.
  • the hollow chamber 9 is in turn formed by two concentric hollow cylinders, which are closed on both sides by cover rings 14, 15.
  • cover rings 14, 15 In the inner housing wall 13, three nozzle rings were produced in a simple manner by means of a pulling tool, of which in each case only the nozzles 11 cut in the illustration are shown, which project into the passage 12 in the manner of a spout.
  • the flow direction of the scattering material through the passage 12 is indicated by a large arrow.
  • the nozzles 11 are oriented radially to the Streustoff matströmeuros, and two nozzles 11 of each nozzle ring are arranged diametrically opposite each other, so that emerging from the nozzles 11 Brine jets in the center of the passage 12 approximately perpendicular to each other.
  • FIG. 3 illustrating the moistening device 8 in plan view. Shown in FIG. 3 only two nozzle rings that are offset from each other so that viewed in plan view each nozzle of a nozzle ring exactly between two nozzles of the other nozzle ring lie. To better illustrate the different position of the nozzle rings, the two nozzle rings in FIG. 3 and the brine jets emerging from the respective nozzles are shown differently, namely once in solid lines and another time in dashed lines.
  • the particular advantage of the perpendicularly facing, radially oriented nozzle arrangement is the fact that a maximum turbulence of the injected brine is achieved.
  • the nozzle wreaths in FIG. 3 each have eight evenly spaced nozzles. Of course, more or less nozzles may be distributed around the circumference of the passage. However, with eight nozzles distributed over the circumference, it was possible to achieve a relatively uniform wetting of grit, in particular with a passage width of about 145 mm. The passage should not exceed a width of 200 mm and should not be less than 100 mm.
  • the nozzles 11 of the lower nozzle ring have a smaller passage diameter than the nozzles 11 of the upper nozzle ring.
  • Diameters between 1.5 mm and 10 mm are generally suitable. Good results have been obtained when the diameter of the nozzles of the upper nozzle ring was about twice as large as the diameter of the lower nozzle ring, in particular a diameter ratio of 6 mm to 3 mm.
  • the diameter of the nozzles of the intermediate nozzle ring does not necessarily have to be between these two values. Good results were obtained, for example, when the nozzles of the central nozzle ring had the same diameter of 6 mm as the nozzles of the upper nozzle ring.
  • a distance of the nozzle ring center planes between 10 mm and 50 mm, in particular 15 mm, has proved to be suitable.
  • the liquid is supplied to the passage 12 through two leads 10 in the radial direction, wherein the two leads 10 are diametrically opposite each other.
  • other supply lines can be provided, which are preferably distributed uniformly over the circumference of the passage 12.
  • the connection points of the leads 10 to the hollow chamber 9 of the moistening device 8 are chosen so that the liquid supplied against the inner housing wall 13 of the hollow chamber 9 between two nozzles 11 injected so that they can be evenly distributed in the hollow chamber 9 and not immediately by a the nozzles exit again.
  • the liquid is usually pumped with a pressure of 2 bar and a delivery volume between 0 and 100 liters / min in the hollow chamber 9, where it comes, however, essentially without pressure.
  • the cross section of the passage 12 need not be circular.
  • it can also have a square or rectangular or even oval cross-section.
  • the wall 13 of the passage 12 may also have a constriction, so that the passage 12 is also nozzle-shaped.
