Description

Trocknermodul für einen Trockner Dryer module for a dryer
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft das technische Gebiet der Trockner für eine Beschichtungsanlage, insbesondere für eine Beschichtungsanlage für Fahrzeugkarosserien, wobei der Trockner einen Trocknernutzraum zur Aufnahme der zu trocknenden Gegenstände umfasst, welcher durch einen Trocknerboden, eine Trocknerdecke und seitliche Begrenzungswände begrenzt ist.The present invention relates to the technical field of dryers for a coating installation, in particular for a coating system for vehicle bodies, wherein the dryer comprises a dryer space for receiving the objects to be dried, which is delimited by a dryer floor, a dryer ceiling and lateral boundary walls.
Ein solcher Trockner ist beispielsweise aus der DE 201 04 205 Ul bekannt.Such a dryer is known for example from DE 201 04 205 Ul.
Bekannte Trockner dieser Art werden am Aufstellungsort des Trockners aus Trocknersegmenten zusammengesetzt, welche den vollen Querschnitt des Trockners aufweisen und an einem vom Aufstellungsort des Trockners entfernten Herstellungsort zusammengesetzt werden. Der Transport dieser Trocknersegmente vom Herstellungsort zum Aufstellungsort des Trockners ist mit erheblichen Transportkosten verbunden.Known dryers of this type are assembled at the installation site of the dryer from dryer segments, which have the full cross-section of the dryer and are assembled at a remote from the installation site of the dryer manufacturing. The transport of these dryer segments from the place of manufacture to the installation site of the dryer involves considerable transportation costs.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Transportkosten für den Transport der Trocknerbauteile vom Herstellungsort zum Aufstellungsort zu reduzieren.The object of the present invention is to reduce the transport costs for transporting the dryer components from the production site to the site of installation.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Trocknermodul gelöst, das mindestens einen Abschnitt einer seitlichen Begrenzungswand des Trocknernutzraums und einen Abschnitt des Trocknerbodens und/oder einen Abschnitt der Trocknerdecke umfasst, wobei der Trocknerbodenabschnitt und/oder der Trocknerdeckenabschnitt relativ zu dem Begrenzungswandabschnitt schwenkbar mit dem Begrenzungswandabschnitt verbunden ist.This object is achieved according to the invention by a dryer module which comprises at least a portion of a lateral boundary wall of the dryer utility space and a portion of the dryer floor and / or a portion of the dryer ceiling, wherein the dryer floor section and / or the dryer cover section is pivotally connected to the boundary wall section relative to the boundary wall section ,
Ein solches Trocknermodul kann für den Transport vom Herstellungsort zum Aufstellungsort des Trockners in einen eingeklappten Zustand gebracht werden, in welchem das Trocknermodul nur eine geringe Grundfläche einnimmt und platzsparend zu transportieren ist.Such a dryer module can be brought into a folded state for transport from the place of manufacture to the place of installation of the dryer be in which the dryer module occupies only a small footprint and is to save space to transport.
Am Aufstellungsort des Trockners kann das Trocknermodul dann von dem eingeklappten Zustand in einen ausgeklappten Zustand überführt werden, in welchem der Trocknerbodenabschnitt bzw. der Trocknerdeckenabschnitt relativ zu dem Begrenzungswandabschnitt dieselbe Position einnehmen wie im fertig hergestellten Trockner.At the place of installation of the dryer, the dryer module can then be transferred from the folded state to an unfolded state, in which the dryer floor section or the dryer cover section occupy the same position relative to the boundary wall section as in the finished dryer.
Zwei am Aufstellungsort des Trockners einander gegenübergestellte Trocknermodule im ausgeklappten Zustand können dann so gegeneinander geschoben werden, dass sie gemeinsam ein Trocknersegment bilden, welches den vollen Querschnitt des herzustellenden Trockners aufweist.Two dryer modules facing each other at the installation site of the dryer in the unfolded state can then be pushed against one another such that together they form a dryer segment which has the full cross section of the dryer to be produced.
Durch das erfindungsgemäße Trocknermodul werden somit die Transportkosten für den Transport der Trocknerbauteile von deren Herstellungsort bis zum Aufstellungsort des Trockners wesentlich reduziert.The dryer module according to the invention thus substantially reduces the transport costs for transporting the dryer components from their production location to the installation location of the dryer.
Ferner wird durch die Verwendung solcher Trocknermodule die Montagezeit des Trockners am Aufstellungsort gegenüber einer Montage aus Einzelbauteilen deutlich verringert, da die seitlichen Begrenzungswände des Trocknernutzraums bereits mit jeweils einem Trocknerbodenabschnitt bzw. mit jeweils einem Trocknerdeckenabschnitt verbunden sind.Furthermore, the use of such dryer modules considerably reduces the assembly time of the dryer at the installation site compared with assembly from individual components, since the lateral boundary walls of the dryer utility space are already connected to one dryer floor section or one dryer ceiling section in each case.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Trocknerbodenabschnitt und/oder der Trocknerdeckenabschnitt des Trocknermoduls mittels mindestens eines Scharniers mit dem Begrenzungswandabschnitt verbunden ist. Der Trocknerbodenabschnitt bzw. der Trocknerdeckenabschnitt kann dabei direkt schwenkbar an dem Begrenzungswandabschnitt gehalten sein oder aber indirekt mit dem Begrenzungswandabschnitt verbunden sein, indem er an einem anderen Bauteil des Trocknermoduls schwenkbar gehalten ist, welches seinerseits, vorzugsweise starr, mit dem Begrenzungswandabschnitt des Trocknermoduls verbunden ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the dryer floor section and / or the dryer cover section of the dryer module is connected to the boundary wall section by means of at least one hinge. The dryer floor section or the dryer ceiling section can be held directly pivotable on the boundary wall section or indirectly connected to the boundary wall section by being pivotally supported on another component of the dryer module, which in turn, preferably rigidly connected to the boundary wall portion of the dryer module.
Grundsätzlich könnte vorgesehen sein, dass sich der Trocknerbodenabschnitt bzw. der Trocknerdeckenabschnitt eines Trocknermoduls nur über einen Teil der Breite des Trocknernutzraums erstreckt.In principle, it could be provided that the dryer floor section or the dryer cover section of a dryer module extends only over a part of the width of the dryer utility room.
Besonders günstig ist es jedoch, wenn der Trocknerbodenabschnitt und/oder der Trocknerdeckenabschnitt des Trocknermoduls sich über im wesentlichen die gesamte Breite des Trocknernutzraums erstreckt. In diesem Fall wird nur ein einziges Trocknermodul benötigt, um den gesamten Trocknerboden bzw. die gesamte Trocknerdecke eines Trocknersegments zu bilden.However, it is particularly favorable if the dryer floor section and / or the dryer cover section of the dryer module extends over substantially the entire width of the dryer user space. In this case, only a single dryer module is needed to form the entire dryer floor or the entire dryer ceiling of a dryer segment.

In diesem eingeklappten Zustand beider Trocknermodule 156a, 156b können die beiden Trocknermodule so gegeneinander gestellt werden, dass der Trocknerbodenabschnitt 162 des ersten Trocknermoduls 156a mit seinen Stützfüßen 164 an der Außenseite des Trocknerdeckenabschnitts 170 des zweiten Trocknermoduls 156b anliegt und beide Trocknermodule 156a, 156b gemeinsam eine nur geringe Grundfläche beanspruchen, deren Breite b, d. h. deren Ausdehnung senkrecht zur Förderrichtung 106, nur geringfügig größer ist als die Breite der beiden Luftzuführkanäle 114 (siehe Fig. 2). In diesem eingeklappten Zustand können die beiden Trocknermodule 156a, 156b somit sehr platzsparend gemeinsam in einem Transportbehälter 182 (siehe Fig. 1) untergebracht und transportiert werden.In this folded state of both dryer modules 156a, 156b, the two dryer modules can be placed against each other so that the dryer floor section 162 of the first dryer module 156a abuts with its support legs 164 on the outside of the dryer cover section 170 of the second dryer module 156b and both dryer modules 156a, 156b together only one occupy a small footprint whose width b, ie whose extension is perpendicular to the conveying direction 106, only slightly larger than the width of the two air supply channels 114 (see Fig. 2). In this folded-in state, the two dryer modules 156a, 156b can thus be accommodated and transported in a very space-saving manner together in a transport container 182 (see FIG. 1).
Dadurch werden die Transportkosten für den Transport der Trocknerbauteile von deren Herstellungsort bis zum Aufstellungsort des Heißlufttrockners 100 wesentlich reduziert.As a result, the transport costs for the transport of the dryer components from their place of manufacture to the site of the hot air dryer 100 are substantially reduced.
Ferner wird durch die Verwendung der Trocknermodule 156a, 156b die Montagezeit des Heißlufttrockners 100 gegenüber der herkömmlichen Segmentbauweise deutlich verringert, da die Begrenzungswände der Luftzuführkanäle 114 bereits mit jeweils einem Trocknerbodenabschnitt 162 bzw. mit einem Trocknerdeckenabschnitt 170 verbunden sind. Furthermore, the use of the dryer modules 156a, 156b substantially reduces the assembly time of the hot air dryer 100 compared with the conventional segmental design, since the boundary walls of the air supply channels 114 are already connected to a respective dryer floor section 162 or to a dryer cover section 170.
