Definitions

  • the invention relates to a use of wall fixtures to reduce noise and vibration during the emptying of silos.
  • Step-like ring parts are introduced into the silo in order to achieve a deposition of the silo material in the region of the resulting recesses. This is done to prevent the product from bake on the wall.
  • the US 62 50 514 B1 proposes a graded silo profile consisting of individual step-like graded silo rings to avoid bridging of the flowable material when drained in the silo.
  • the macroscopic roughness there are great dependencies between the size of the wall shear zone (the macroscopic roughness) and the bulk material used. For very large bulk particles, the macroscopic roughness does not work very well, because the roughness can be adjusted only to a certain bulk particle diameter.
  • the invention is therefore based on the EP 0 883 561 B1 the object of developing a method for reducing noise and vibration during the emptying of silos so that with less cost also a significant reduction of noise and vibration can be achieved.
  • the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.
  • silo is divided into individual flow zones, which are defined by delimited and axially spaced compression zones.
  • the structure is subject to static as well as dynamic loads.
  • different flow profiles of the bulk material in the silo may occur.
  • different forces act on the silo construction. It may be that during removal at the lower outlet end, the entire bulk material in the silo is in motion.
  • the movement process on the wall, as well as the boundary line between rest and movement depends, among other things, on the bulk material properties, the filling level, the silo geometry and the type of ventilation, filling and emptying.
  • the investigations were carried out at a temperature of about 25 ° C and a humidity of about 45% r.F. carried out.
  • the flow behavior can be assessed on the basis of the flowability ffc.
  • the following classification classifies the flowability to: ffc ⁇ 1 not fluent 1 ⁇ ffc ⁇ 2 very cohesive (not fluent) 2 ⁇ ffc ⁇ 4 cohesive 4 ⁇ ffc ⁇ 10 easily flowing 10 ⁇ ffc free flowing
  • the ratio ffc and thus also the assessment of the flowability changes with the solidification stress.
  • the fluidity ffc increases with the solidification stress 61 as in the case of bulk material A, which also applies to the investigated hard coal.
  • the bulk solids strength was determined after storage of the sample under the solidification stress over a period of 24 hours.
  • the sample was stored for the corresponding time at room temperature under the solidification stress.
  • the sample was shielded from the ambient air to prevent any change in humidity.
  • the bulk material strength 6c which had resulted after the storage time, was measured. After a storage time at rest of 24 h, the bulk material strength increases and the flowability deteriorates.
  • the silo here consists of a sheet material, in particular a cold-rolled stainless steel with wall thicknesses of for example 5 to 6 mm with a diameter of 3500 to 4200 mm and a height of 15500 to 17000 mm.
  • the vertical part of the silo can in this case have a height in the range of 10500 to 11000 mm and the funnel inclination an angle inclination relative to the vertical of about 16 to 22 degrees.
  • the outlet diameter is in the range between 300 to 400 mm.
  • Egg-type silo has a gross volume of eg 118 to 200 m 3 .
  • the height to diameter ratio of the silo is typically in the range of about 2.6 to 3.
  • the invention is not limited to the above silo dimensions. These sizes should only represent a typical application in which a "honking" is avoided during the discharge of the silage with the inventive measures.
  • profile rings are arranged in the interior of the silo, wherein such profile rings take a mutual distance from each other and each profile ring ensures that the bulk material displaces radially inwards in the direction of the longitudinal center axis is so as to form a compression zone in the height of the profile ring.
  • a device for carrying out the method is thus characterized by the incorporation of so-called profile rings, which preferably have obliquely inwardly directed Abweis lake on its upper side, so as to direct the bulk material, which flows from top to bottom, laterally against the central longitudinal axis of the silo , As a result, the inventive, respective compression zone is formed in the region of the profile ring.
  • profile ring is to be understood only as an example. In the present invention, a plurality of embodiments are described, from which it follows that circumferential on the wall profile rings or broken, segment-shaped profile rings can be installed.
  • profile rings are the same in themselves, d. H.
  • other shapes and other types of profile rings can be used than, for example, in the lower area.
  • the invention is not limited to the size specified and the number and the distance of said profile rings. Any other distances between the internals can be provided. In particular, it may be provided that the distance between the internals from top to bottom is not uniform.
  • the wall diameter of the silo is reduced by 50 to 60 cm in the region of the cross-section-reducing internals.
  • the invention is not limited thereto. It should only be made clear that the cross-section reducing internals in the silo lead to the formation of compaction zones, which delimit the individual flow zones from each other. These internals are therefore in their radial extent in the direction of the longitudinal center axis by a multiple of the size of the aforementioned macroscopic wall roughness addition.
  • the advantage is that, depending on the particle size, the height of the silo and the diameter, other cross-section-reducing internals with other diameters can be used.
  • the product abrasion is lower than in the aforementioned macroscopic shear zones in the edge region, because the product can flow along the otherwise smooth inside of the silo along, without unfolding the aforementioned undesirable effects.
  • a silo 1 is shown, which is manufactured in different sizes and diameters. Such silos are manufactured in the range between 3 m to 40 m height with a diameter in the range between 1 m and 8 m.
  • an essential feature of the invention is that not only audible vibrations are suppressed with the features of the invention, but also acting in the infrasonic range vibrations (vibrations). This is done according to the walls of the silo stiffening Wandeinbauten. 8
  • the silo is closed at the top by a roof 2 and has, moreover, a preferably cylindrical shell 3, which merges in its lower end in an approximately tapered outlet end 4.
  • the invention is not limited thereto. Instead of a conical outlet end 4 and dished ends, cylindrical bottoms, flat bottoms and the like can be used.
  • an outlet connection 5 is arranged, via which the bulk material 6 is removed in a known manner.
  • silo 1 As material for the silo 1 all known materials can be used, such as. As stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloys, steel, steel alloys or plastic and plastic composites.
  • Each wall installation 8 preferably has an obliquely radially inwardly directed deflection surface 9 for the bulk material and an adjoining support surface 10.
  • the individual particles 13 are guided above the compression zone with a certain greater distance in the compression zone 7, are crowded together there and the air stored therebetween escapes up or down.
  • Such a conical ring as a wall mounting 8 consists of a circumferential cone ring 19, which forms only the deflecting surface 9 (see FIG. 3 ).
  • FIG. 3 This shows the FIG. 3 in that the support surface 10 previously shown can also be dispensed with.
  • the conical ring 19 does not have to be continuous on the circumference, but may also be segment-shaped, as illustrated by the following exemplary embodiments for other profile rings.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 For example, it is shown that a ring segment 20 (approximately in profile as a half pipe) is arranged on the inside of the shell 3 of the silo 1, wherein the ring segments 20 either interrupted in accordance with FIGS. 6 to 7 can be provided with different lengths 21, 22 or also continuously on the circumference, as shown by the FIG. 8 is shown.
  • FIGS. 10 to 13 where it is shown that a triangular profile 24 can be used as a profile shape, which either as a segment 25, 26 of different lengths or also in accordance with FIG. 12 can be installed.
  • the legs 27, 28 of this triangular profile 24 are in this case the same length, while in the embodiment of the FIGS. 14 to 17 another profile ring 29 is used, namely because the legs 27, 28 are formed unevenly.
  • the leg 28 is in this case formed approximately perpendicular to the surface of the shell 3.
  • the respective profile rings connect to the wall so as to allow a continuous deflection surface of the wall in the direction of the longitudinal center axis of the silo.
  • compression zones 7 can also be generated by air injection into the material of the silo.
  • the jacket in the region of the wall inserts 8 is interrupted at least at different points by a respective Einblasstutzen 32, wherein one or more Einblasstutzen 32 can be arranged at the same axial height at the periphery of the shell, so as a horizontal direction Formed compression zone 7 to form.
  • Einblasstutzen 32 may be present or a ring encircling injection ring, which forms a ring encircling compression zone 7 - supported by compressed air -.
  • FIG. 19 shows that there are so-called cone internals 35, with an upper cone fitting 35 compressing the material obliquely inwardly to form a compaction zone 7, while the subsequent conical installation 36 behaves in a reversed manner and permits expansion of the material in this region. Also in this way are formed by oppositely directed conical installations each axially spaced compression zones 7.
