  • the arrangement has a grounding device.
  • the grounding device is configured and coupled to the high-voltage electrode and the process vessel so that it is automatically brought into contact with the working-side electrode end when positioned in the non-operating position or when changing from the operating position to the non-operating position, thereby grounding the high-voltage electrode.
  • the arrangement according to the invention makes it possible to provide electrodynamic fragmentation systems in which the high-voltage electrode is grounded automatically and reliably when its working-side end of the electrode is made accessible, and the Grounding is also visually recognizable. As a result, the protection of persons can be significantly improved.
  • the grounding device is also designed and coupled to the high-voltage electrode and the process vessel so that it is automatically brought out of contact with the working-side electrode end when positioning in the operating position or when switching from the non-operating position to the operating position the grounding of the high voltage electrode is canceled and the generation of high voltage discharges between the high voltage electrode and the base electrode becomes possible.
  • the earthing device comprises a lever mechanism by means of which a contact surface can be brought into contact or out of contact with the working end of the electrode for earthing or grounding the high-voltage electrode.
  • the lever mechanism is advantageously designed such that it is exclusively or at least partially gravity and / or spring-actuated in one of its two directions of movement, it being preferred if this is the direction of movement, in which the contacting of the contact surface with the working side electrode end is effected ,
  • the lever mechanism is thus coupled to the high voltage electrode and the process vessel or operatively connected, that the contact surface, when moving the high voltage electrode and the process vessel relative to each other from the non-operating position to the operating position, lifted and removed by mechanical forced coupling from the working side electrode end of the high voltage electrode.
  • the mechanical positive coupling is advantageously realized such that a contact surface bearing lever of the lever mechanism through the process vessel, and preferably through its upper edge, pushed away and so the contact surface is lifted from the working side electrode end and removed from it.
  • the lever bearing the contact surface is preferably designed such that it has a curved stop track for the upper edge of the process vessel, along which the upper edge contacts the lever when pushing away.
  • the lever of the grounding device is also configured in this way and the contact surface is arranged on it in such a way that it is impossible to touch the contact surface with the process vessel when the lever is pushed away, which is preferred, the use of sensitive contact surfaces, such as, for example, contact brushes, possible, which could otherwise be easily damaged.
  • the lever mechanism is coupled to the high voltage electrode and to the process vessel so that the contact surface moves from the operating position to the non-operating position by mechanical positive coupling to the high voltage electrode as the high voltage electrode and process vessel move relative to each other and at the working end of the electrode is applied. Due to the positive coupling in this direction of movement has the advantage that the accessibility of the working end of the electrode mechanically inevitably causes grounding of the high voltage electrode, whereby a maximum of security can be achieved. It is also envisaged to carry out the mechanical force-coupled movement by gravity and / or spring force.
  • the lever mechanism comprises exactly one movable lever, which is pivotable about a preferably horizontal or vertical axis of rotation for contacting or disengaging the contact surface with the working-side electrode end.
  • Such lever mechanisms have a minimum of moving parts and are robust and inexpensive.
  • the lever for contacting or AusserANDbring the contact surface with the working side electrode end is also displaceable along the axis of rotation. In this way, complicated, multi-dimensional pivoting movements can be realized with a low design overhead.
  • the contact surface is formed by a contact brush, which has the advantage that a secure grounding can be effected even with a dirty working end of the electrode.
  • the arrangement is configured such that the relative movement between the high-voltage electrode and the process vessel required for positioning in the inoperative position can be effected by lowering the process vessel with respect to the high-voltage electrode, e.g. by means of a lifting table, which carries the process vessel, wherein it is preferred if this can be done with simultaneously fixed high-voltage electrode.
