- the characterizing features of claim 3 provide that a valve several Anblasdüsen are assigned.
- the number of blowing nozzles determines the resolution or the accuracy with which individual pieces can be blown out of the material flow.
- each valve is associated with exactly one Anblasdüse. This variant makes it possible, with a given number of blowing nozzles, to achieve the highest resolution or blowing precision.
- the Anblasdüsen, the valve stem including the valve seat, and the at least one inlet opening, and the flow channels, which establish a connection between the respective valve seats with the respective Anblasdüsen are housed according to the characterizing features of claim 5 in a single housing.

- the housing is preferably made of aluminum. However, alternative materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass or plastic can also be used.
- Fig.2 shows a front view of the blowing device according to the invention with a view towards the bar.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA Fig.2 shows, the housing 1 in its interior a plurality of cavities 4, which each serve to receive a valve.

- These flow channels are composed of a section which forms the outlet nozzles 16 and a section 20 which adjoins directly the valve seat 19 and thus, as viewed from the injection nozzles 16, follows the deflection from the latter to the valve seat 19.
- a strip 3 is arranged, which is connected via screws 18 interchangeable with the housing 1.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Anblasen von über eine Freifallstrecke oder ein Gliederband beförderte Einzelstücke eines Materialstroms mit einem gasförmigen Medium, umfassend mindestens eine Einlassöffnung für das gasförmige Medium, sowie mehrere Anblasdüsen, über welche das gasförmige Medium kontrolliert auf vorbestimmte Einzelstücke des Materialstroms geblasen wird, sowie den Anblasdüsen zugeordneten Ventilen, vorzugsweise Magnetventilen, durch welche der Anblasvorgang ausgelöst bzw. gestoppt wird.The present invention relates to an apparatus for blowing over a free fall distance or a link belt conveyed individual pieces of a stream of material with a gaseous medium, comprising at least one inlet opening for the gaseous medium, and a plurality of blowing nozzles, via which controls the gaseous medium to predetermined individual pieces of material flow is blown, as well as the Anblasdüsen associated valves, preferably solenoid valves through which the Anblasvorgang is triggered or stopped.
Solche Vorrichtungen kommen in Sortiermaschinen für transparente und nicht transparente Schüttgüter wie beispielsweise Metalle, Kunststoffe, Gesteine sowie Glas, Papier oder Karton zum Einsatz. Sie arbeiten vorzugsweise mittels optischer oder induktiver Sender- und Empfängereinheiten und dienen dazu, im Materialstrom befindliche Fremdkörper aus dem Materialstrom zu entfernen oder aber unterschiedliche Sorten des Materials des Materialstroms in unterschiedliche Behältnisse zu befördern.Such devices are used in sorting machines for transparent and non-transparent bulk materials such as metals, plastics, rocks and glass, paper or cardboard. They work preferably by means of optical or inductive transmitter and receiver units and serve to remove foreign matter located in the material flow from the material flow or to convey different types of the material of the material flow into different containers.
Eine solche Sortiermaschine ist beispielsweise aus der
Es sind aber auch Ausführungsvarianten bekannt, bei welchen als Empfängereinheiten Farbkameras zum Einsatz kommen und als Lichtquellen herkömmliche Lichtquellen wie beispielsweise Leuchtstoffröhren fungieren.However, embodiments are also known in which color cameras are used as receiver units and conventional light sources such as fluorescent tubes function as light sources.
Sowohl Sender- als auch Empfängereinheiten sind mit einer zentralen Recheneinheit verbunden, welche die eingehenden Daten verarbeitet und es aufgrund der Intensität der auf der Empfängereinheit auftreffenden und von den Sendereinheiten abgestrahlten Lichtstrahlen ermöglicht, Lage, Größe und Art der sich im Materialstrom befindlichen Einzelstücke zu detektieren.Both transmitter and receiver units are connected to a central processing unit which controls the incoming Data processed and it due to the intensity of the incident on the receiver unit and emitted by the transmitter units light beams to detect location, size and type of individual pieces located in the material flow.
In weiterer Folge wird in Abhängigkeit von der erfolgten Detektion der Einzelstücke im Materialstrom die Sortierung der Einzelstücke vorgenommen. Diese erfolgt auf an sich bekannte Art und Weise durch Anblasen der Einzelstücke mittels eines gasförmigen oder flüssigen Mediums, beispielsweise Druckluft oder Wasser, während deren freiem Fall bzw. während deren Transport auf einem Gliederband durch die Lücken des Gliederbandes hindurch, wodurch diese aus ihrer Flugbahn bzw. aus dem am Gliederband aufliegenden Materialstrom in ein dafür vorgesehenes Behältnis abgelenkt werden.Subsequently, the sorting of the individual pieces is carried out in dependence on the successful detection of the individual pieces in the material flow. This takes place in a manner known per se by blowing the individual pieces by means of a gaseous or liquid medium, for example compressed air or water, during their free fall or during their transport on a link belt through the gaps of the link belt, whereby these from their trajectory or . Are deflected from the material flow lying on the link belt in a designated container.
Bei bekannten Sortiermaschinen dient als Anblasvorrichtung ein die Anblasdüsen sowie die zu den Anblasdüsen führenden Strömungskanäle enthaltender Bauteil, an welchen im Handel erwerbbare Magnetventile angekoppelt, vorzugsweise angeschraubt werden, wodurch die Ventilauslassöffnung bzw. die Ventilauslassöffnungen mit entsprechenden am Bauteil vorgesehenen Eingangsöffnungen des Bauelementes verbunden werden, um eine Verbindung zu den Anblasdüsen herzustellen.In known sorting machines serves as a blowing the Anblasdüsen and leading to the Anblasdüsen flow channels containing component to which commercial acquirable solenoid valves are coupled, preferably screwed, whereby the Ventilauslassöffnung or the Ventilauslassöffnungen are connected to corresponding component provided on the input openings of the device to establish a connection to the blowing nozzles.
Die Ankoppelung der Magnetventile an den die Anblasdüsen enthaltenden Bauteil kann dabei nicht in beliebiger Lage erfolgen. Ein übliches Magnetventil besteht in der Regel aus einem Ventilstössel sowie einer Rückstellfeder, zur Rückstellung des Ventilstössels sowie einem Elektromagneten, welcher die Öffnungsbewegung des Ventilstössels bewirkt. Rückstellfeder und Elektromagnet sind dabei, aufgrund der Funktionsweise des Ventils, jeweils an verschiedenen Seiten des Ventilstössels in Bezug auf dessen Achse gesehen, angeordnet. Dadurch ergibt sich lediglich eine sehr eingeschränkte Anordnungsmöglichkeit des Magnetventils am die Anblasdüsen enthaltenden Bauteil.The coupling of the solenoid valves to the component containing the Anblasdüsen can not be done in any position. A conventional solenoid valve usually consists of a valve stem and a return spring, to reset the valve stem and an electromagnet, which causes the opening movement of the valve stem. Return spring and solenoid are, due to the operation of the valve, each seen on different sides of the valve stem with respect to the axis thereof, arranged. This only results in a very Limited arrangement possibility of the solenoid valve on the component containing the Anblasdüsen.
Beim Einsatz solcher bekannten Anblasvorrichtungen hat sich herausgestellt, dass aufgrund der gekoppelten Bauweise das Ansprechverhalten bzw. anders ausgedrückt die Reaktionszeit der Anblasdüsen verbesserungswürdig ist. Grund dafür sind die langen Strömungskanäle, welche sich aufgrund der Anbindung handelsüblich erhältlicher Magnetventile, an den die Anblasdüsen aufweisenden Bauteil ergeben. Insgesamt entstehen dadurch lange, vom Ventil zu den Anblasdüsen führende Strömungskanäle, was einerseits große Druckverluste bewirkt und damit bereits von Anfang an einen höheren Ausgangsdruck zum exakten Anblasen der Einzelstücke im Materialstrom erfordert und andererseits aber auch zu einem langen "Nachblasen" nach Abschalten des Ventils führt, was nicht nur einen erhöhten Verbrauch des gasförmigen Mediums bedeutet sondern auch eine Verminderung des Sortierwirkungsgrades der Sortiervorrichtung.When using such known Anblasvorrichtungen has been found that the response or in other words the response time of the Anblasdüsen is in need of improvement due to the coupled construction. Reason for this are the long flow channels, which arise due to the connection commercially available solenoid valves, to which the Anblasdüsen having component. Overall, this results in long, from the valve to the Anblasdüsen leading flow channels, causing on the one hand large pressure losses and thus already requires a higher output pressure for exact blowing of the individual pieces in the material flow from the beginning and on the other hand also leads to a long "Nachblasen" after switching off the valve , which not only means an increased consumption of the gaseous medium but also a reduction in the sorting efficiency of the sorter.
Es ist aber nicht nur die Länge, die den Druckverlust bei den bekannten Anblasvorrichtungen bewirkt, sondern auch die erforderliche Anzahl an Umlenkungen, welche das gasförmige Medium durchläuft, um vom Ventilsitz zu den Anblasdüsen zu gelangen und welche sich aufgrund der limitierten Anbindungsmöglichkeiten der handelsüblichen Magnetventile an den die Anblasdüsen aufweisenden Bauteil ergeben. Jede einzelne Umlenkung bewirkt einen zusätzlichen Druckverlust. Bedenkt man, dass es sich bei dem im vorliegenden technischen Gebiet bislang eingesetzten gasförmigen Medium um Druckluft handelt, ergibt sich auch ein finanzieller Nachteil bei herkömmlichen Anblasvorrichtungen, da Druckluft einer der teuersten Betriebsstoffe darstellt und eine Verringerung des Druckluftbedarfs sowie des erforderlichen Drucks somit nicht nur technische Vorteile bringt, wie beispielsweise kleinere Bauteile und kürzere Reaktionszeiten sondern auch Einsparungen finanzieller Art aufgrund des geringeren Verbrauchs von Druckluft ermöglicht.But it is not only the length that causes the pressure loss in the known Anblasvorrichtungen, but also the required number of deflections, which passes through the gaseous medium to get from the valve seat to the Anblasdüsen and which due to the limited connectivity options of commercially available solenoid valves give the the Anblasdüsen having component. Each individual deflection causes an additional pressure loss. Considering that the gaseous medium used to date in the present technical field is compressed air, there is also a financial disadvantage in conventional blowing devices, since compressed air is one of the most expensive consumables and thus reducing the compressed air requirement and the required pressure not only technical Benefits such as smaller components and shorter reaction times but also savings financial nature due to the lower consumption of compressed air.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Anblasvorrichtungen ist der Umstand dass mehrere der handelsüblich erhältlichen Magnetventile an dem die Anblasdüsen aufweisenden Bauteil angeordnet werden müssen. Aufgrund eines erforderlichen Mindestdurchflussvolumens sind hier Grenzen gesetzt was die Größe der Ventile betrifft. Eine auf das jeweilige Einsatzgebiet abgestimmte Mindestgröße darf nicht unterschritten werden. Jedes der handelsüblich erhältlichen Ventile besitzt jedoch ein eigenes Gehäuse mit Wandstärke, so dass durch diese Wandstärke wertvoller Platz am die Anblasdüsen aufweisenden Bauteil verloren geht, wodurch die Anzahl der einsetzbaren Ventile an einem die Anblasöffnung aufweisendem Bauteil unnötig eingeschränkt wird. Zusätzlich dürfen die handelsüblichen Ventile nicht unmittelbar aneinander verbaut werden, um die Zirkulation von Kühlluft am Ventilgehäuse zu ermöglichen.A further disadvantage of the known blowing devices is the fact that several of the commercially available solenoid valves have to be arranged on the component having the blowing nozzles. Due to a required minimum flow volume limits are set here as far as the size of the valves is concerned. A minimum size adapted to the respective field of application must not be undercut. However, each of the commercially available valves has its own housing with wall thickness, so that valuable space is lost on the Anblasdüsen having component by this wall thickness, whereby the number of usable valves is unnecessarily limited to a component having the blowing opening. In addition, commercially available valves must not be installed directly adjacent to each other to allow circulation of cooling air to the valve body.
Aus der
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die angeführten Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die einerseits eine Verkürzung der Reaktionszeit der Anblassvorrichtung ermöglicht, bei gleichzeitiger Absenkung des erforderlichen Druckes und Verminderung der auftretenden Druckverluste.It is therefore an object of the present invention to avoid the mentioned disadvantages and to provide a device of the type mentioned above, on the one hand allows a shortening of the reaction time of the Anblassvorrichtung, while lowering the required pressure and reducing the pressure losses occurring.
Es ist eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, welche den Platzbedarf der Ventile reduziert und somit die Anordnung von mehr Ventilen im Vergleich zum aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Anblasvorrichtungen, bei gleich bleibenden Gesamtplatzbedarf ermöglicht.It is a further object of the present invention to provide a device of the kind set forth which reduces the space requirement of the valves and thus enables the arrangement of more valves compared to the blowing devices known from the prior art, while maintaining the overall space requirement.
Ein weiteres Ziel der Erfindung ist die Reduktion der Teilezahl, die zur Fertigung einer solchen Anblasvorrichtung erforderlich sind.Another object of the invention is to reduce the number of parts required to manufacture such an inflator.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.This is achieved by the characterizing features of
Eine Vorrichtung zum Anblasen von über eine Freifallstrecke oder ein Gliederband beförderte Einzelstücke eines Materialstroms mit einem gasförmigen oder flüssigen Medium umfasst Anblasdüsen samt zugeordneten Ventilen, wobei zwischen jeder Anblasdüse und dem Ventilsitz des einer Anblasdüse zugeordneten Ventils ein Strömungskanal vorgesehen ist, welcher lediglich eine einzige Umlenkung des gasförmigen oder flüssigen Mediums bewirkt.A device for blowing over a free-fall line or a link belt conveyed individual pieces of a material flow with a gaseous or liquid medium comprises Anblasdüsen including associated valves, wherein between each Anblasdüse and the valve seat of a Anblasdüse associated valve, a flow channel is provided which only a single deflection of the gaseous or liquid medium causes.
Indem der Ventilstössel des Ventils erfindungsgemäß im wesentlichen rechtwinkelig zur Anblasdüse angeordnet ist oder mit der Achse der Anblasdüse einen spitzen Winkel α einschließt, wird eine platzsparende und konstruktiv besonders leicht ausführbare Variante einer erfindungsgemäßen Anblasvorrichtung, bei gleichzeitiger Einhaltung des Erfordernisses, dass das Arbeitsmedium auf seinem Weg vom Ventilsitz zur Anblasdüse lediglich einmal umgelenkt wird, vorgeschlagen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante schließt der Ventilstössel des Ventils mit der Achse der Anblasdüse einen spitzen Winkel α ein, um auf die vorherrschenden Platzverhältnisse besser eingehen zu können und die Zugänglichkeit zur Vorrichtung zu erleichtern.By the valve stem of the valve according to the invention is arranged substantially perpendicular to the Anblasdüse or α encloses an acute angle α with the axis of the Anblasdüse, a space-saving and structurally particularly easily executable variant of a blowing device according to the invention, while maintaining the requirement that the working medium on its way from the valve seat to the blowing nozzle only once deflected proposed. In a preferred embodiment, the valve stem of the valve with the axis of the Anblasdüse forms an acute angle α in order to better respond to the prevailing space conditions and to facilitate accessibility to the device.
Solcherart bleibt der Druckverlust gering und auch die Reaktionszeit kann entsprechend niedrig gehalten werden. Andererseits ist dadurch auch eine optimale Anordnung der Ventile möglich.In this way, the pressure loss remains low and the reaction time can be kept correspondingly low. On the other hand, this also an optimal arrangement of the valves is possible.
Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 2 wird die erfindungsgemäße Anblasvorrichtung mit Druckluft oder Wasser betrieben.According to the characterizing features of
Die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 3 sehen vor, dass einem Ventil mehrere Anblasdüsen zugeordnet sind. Die Anzahl der Anblasdüsen bestimmt die Auflösung bzw. die Genauigkeit, mit der Einzelstücke aus dem Materialstrom geblasen werden können. Durch die Ansteuerung mehrere Anblasdüsen mittels eines Ventils ist eine vereinfachte Ansteuerung möglich.The characterizing features of
Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 4 ist vorgesehen, dass jedem Ventil genau eine Anblasdüse zugeordnet ist. Diese Ausführungsvariante ermöglicht, bei gegebener Anblasdüsenanzahl die höchste Auflösung bzw. Anblasgenauigkeit.According to the characterizing features of
Die Anblasdüsen, der Ventilstössel samt Ventilsitz, sowie die mindestens eine Einlassöffnung, sowie die Strömungskanäle, welche eine Verbindung zwischen den jeweiligen Ventilsitzen mit den jeweiligen Anblasdüsen herstellen, sind gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 5 in einem einzigen Gehäuse untergebracht. Dadurch kann eine besonders kompakte Bauweise einer erfindungsgemäßen Anblasvorrichtung erzielt werden. Die Wandstärken der handelsüblich erwerbbaren Magnetventile fallen vollkommen weg, so dass bei gleicher Durchflussleistung der Ventile wesentlich weniger Platzbedarf erforderlich ist.The Anblasdüsen, the valve stem including the valve seat, and the at least one inlet opening, and the flow channels, which establish a connection between the respective valve seats with the respective Anblasdüsen are housed according to the characterizing features of
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung wie in Anspruch 6 beschrieben, sind die Anblasdüsen mit einer austauschbaren Leiste abgedeckt, welche zu den Anblasdüsen exzentrische oder konzentrische Bohrungen aufweist. Abnutzungen bzw. Verschmutzungen, die durch Kontakt der Anblasvorrichtung mit dem Materialstrom entstehen, können dadurch die Funktionsfähigkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Anblasvorrichtung nicht negativ beeinflussen, da, bevor ein solcher Zustand eintritt, die Leiste durch eine neue ersetzt werden kann. Die eigentlichen, im Gehäuse angeordneten Anblasdüsen werden dabei weder abgenutzt noch verschmutzt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention as described in
Durch die exzentrische Anordnung der Bohrungen kann das eingesetzte Medium nach Verlassen der Anblasdüsen entlang der Leiste verteilt werden, ohne die Anzahl der Anblasdüsen zu erhöhen, wodurch die Anblasauflösung insgesamt erhöht werden kann.Due to the eccentric arrangement of the holes, the medium used can be distributed after leaving the Anblasdüsen along the bar without increasing the number of Anblasdüsen, whereby the Anblasauflösung can be increased overall.
Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7 ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest für eine definierte Anzahl an Anblasdüsen der Abstand zwischen der Öffnung einer Anblasdüse zum zugeordneten Ventilsitz höchstens 16 mm beträgt. Dadurch kann, je nach Größe der Anblasvorrichtung, zumindest für eine definierte Anzahl an Anblasdüsen eine besonders kurze Reaktionszeit zur Verfügung gestellt werden.According to the characterizing features of

Das Gehäuse ist vorzugsweise aus Aluminium gefertigt. Alternative Materialen wie beispielsweise Stahl, Nirosta, Messing oder Kunststoff können jedoch ebenfalls zum Einsatz kommen.The housing is preferably made of aluminum. However, alternative materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass or plastic can also be used.

Das Gehäuse 1 weist des weiteren Einlassströmungskanäle 9,10,11,12,13 (siehe
Vor den Anblasdüsen 16 ist eine Leiste 3 angeordnet, die über Schrauben 18 austauschbar mit dem Gehäuse 1 verbunden ist. Die Leiste 3 weist Bohrungen 17 auf, die in montierter Position der Leiste 3 exzentrisch zu den Anblasdüsen 16 angeordnet sind, so dass das die Anblasdüsen 16 verlassende Medium entlang der Leiste 3 verteilt werden kann, wodurch sich die Anblasauflösung erhöht.Before the
Alternativ kann die Anordnung der Bohrungen 17 auch konzentrisch zu den Anblasdüsen 16 erfolgen, wodurch jedoch die Anzahl der Bohrungen 17 auf die Anzahl der Anblasdüsen 16 beschränkt bleibt.Alternatively, the arrangement of the
Jeder Strömungskanal 14,24 zwischen den Anblasdüsen 16 und dem Ventilsitz 19 weist lediglich eine einzige Umlenkung auf, welche durch den Übergang von dem eine Anblasdüse 16 bildenden Abschnitt des Strömungskanals 14,24 in jenen unmittelbar an den Ventilsitz 19 anschließenden Abschnitt des Strömungskanals 14,24 gebildet wird. Druckverluste und Reaktionszeit können durch den Umstand, dass das gasförmige Arbeitsmedium lediglich eine einzige Richtungsänderung erfährt verringert werden. Gleichzeitig ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung des Ventilstössels 5 im wesentlichen rechtwinkelig zu den Ausblasdüsen 16 gewährleistet, dass das Ventil konstruktionstechnisch sehr einfach in das Gehäuse 1 eingebaut werden kann, wobei die erforderlichen Elektromagneten 2 sowie die Rückstellfeder 6 axial gesehen auf verschiedenen Seiten des Ventilstössels 5 angeordnet sind.Each
Die Funktionsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Anblasvorrichtung ist wie folgt:The operation of the blowing device according to the invention is as follows:
Über die Anschlussöffnung 15 wird das Arbeitsmedium in das Gehäuse 1 geleitet, wo es sich zuerst über den Einlassströmungskanal 9 weiter in die Einlassströmungskanäle 10,11,12 und 13 verteilt bis es den jeweiligen Ventilsitz 19 der einzelnen Ventile erreicht hat. Diese sind zu diesem Zeitpunkt geschlossen, dh. jeder Ventilsstössel 5 schließt dicht mit dem Ventilsitz 19 ab. In Abhängigkeit von einem Steuersignal einer zentralen Recheneinheit, welches wiederum auf einer Detektion von auszusortierenden Einzelstücken in dem Materialstrom basiert, werden die Elektromagneten 2 aktiviert wodurch sich die Ventilstössel 5 bewegen und das Ventil öffnet. Das gasförmige Arbeitsmedium kann nun zu den Anblasdüsen 16 strömen, wobei es einmal umgelenkt wird.Via the
