Definitions

  • the invention relates to a blow-off device, in particular for turned or milled industrial parts.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a better solution to this problem.
  • the invention provides a blow-off device with a housing provided with a lid which is to be opened and closed.
  • a parts container for receivingdesblasenden parts or workpieces
  • a blower or a conventional turbine which blows with low energy consumption air through air ducts, which are provided with an air guide device.
  • the fan (or fan or turbine) generates an air flow with low pressure compared to compressed air in the order of, for example, 350 to 400 millibars, without the invention being limited thereto.
  • a filter device is provided according to the invention, which is preferably located on the outside of the housing.
  • the invention further provides that, with the lid closed, the air guiding device directs the air in a recirculation circuit onto the parts container and, when the lid is open, automatically leads out of the housing through the filter device. It is completely surprising that cooling lubricants and similar substances used in milling and turning can be blown off by low pressure air streams.
  • the workpieces are placed in the parts container, which preferably has a lattice-like structure, so that the parts can be flowed around on all sides by air, whereby the first adhering cooling lubricants and the like are gradually dissipated or blown off.
  • the air circulates until the desired blow-off effect has occurred, which can take, for example, a period of 30 seconds to 3 minutes, when the turbine has previously been running and has operating temperature.
  • the air is heated automatically, without the need for a heater is required.
  • the blow-off device without heating air temperatures of up to 50 ° C can be achieved.
  • the air can be cooled by a cooling device, which can be arranged for example on a side wall of the device and cooled by flowing out of the housing leading air duct airflow, or the device is switched off by a safety device.
  • the lid of the device is opened, preferably by this opening operation, the air guiding device is operated so that it no longer directs the coming of the fan air flow in the direction of the parts container but to the filter device, which is preferably arranged under the bottom of the housing.
  • the filter device preferably contains a carbon filter, through which the aerosol or other substance-carrying air flows through, whereby the air is completely purified.
  • ambient air flows through the opened lid into the device, from which all contaminated air is discharged through the filter. Since this process takes only a short period of time, the carbon filter is relatively little stressed, so that its useful life is long. It would be sufficient to replace the carbon filter in the blow-off device according to the invention only once or twice a year.
  • the carbon filter is attached to a frame which can be inserted in the manner of a drawer in receiving rails, which are located under the bottom of the housing. It goes without saying that the Carbon filter rests with its frame so close to the bottom of the housing that no air can escape unfiltered.
  • an intermediate bottom is attached, which divides the container space into an upper and a lower space.
  • This intermediate floor which is preferably formed by a flat metal sheet which is welded to the housing wall, is inclined to one side and leads into a collecting container in which liquids blown off from the workpieces accumulate and from time to time discharge from the housing become.
  • the fan is attached to the underside of the false floor, which communicates through a corresponding recess in the false floor with the space above it.
  • the parts container preferably has lattice-shaped walls and a latticed bottom, the portion of the bottom of the parts container located above the recess leading into the fan should be closed so that dripping liquid does not enter the fan.
  • the fan is connected in a further embodiment of the invention via an air line section, which preferably consists of a rigid tube, with the above-mentioned air guide device which directs the incoming air flow either to the upper chamber or to the filter.
  • At least one air line out of the housing leads to a recess in the lid, so that at least one air flow is directed from above onto the parts container or parts basket.
  • At least one further air duct preferably leads below the intermediate floor to an associated recess in the intermediate floor, so that the latter at least one further air flow blows the workpieces located in the parts container from below.
  • the outlet opening can with a Be provided flap, which prevents the entry of liquid. If necessary, additional air streams can flow into the upper room.
  • the other air path which after opening the lid directs the air flow generated by the blower to the filter, leads from the air duct means to the bottom of the housing containing a corresponding recess.
  • the air guiding device has a flap or a similar air guiding device, which is connected to a preferably rod-shaped element which is pressed by a spring against the closed lid.
  • the design is such that the rod-shaped element in its guide during the pivotal movement of the lid in the opening direction shifts so that the flap or the like, which closes leading to the upper chamber air path and at the same time releases the air duct leading to the filter device.
  • the redirecting of the air flow to the filter can for example be used at an opening angle of the lid of about 15 °.
  • the blow-off device according to the invention is characterized by a simple and robust construction and low energy consumption. Health hazards caused by blown aerosols or the like are avoided.
  • the blow-off device shown in the figures comprises a housing 1, which is provided with a pivotable cover 2 and stands on four feet 3.
  • a welded intermediate bottom 4 divides the interior of the housing 1 into an upper space 5, which is bounded by the cover 2, and a lower space 6, which is bounded by the bottom 7 of the housing 1.
  • a parts container 8 which also has a lattice-like structure on the ground and in which theußblasenden workpieces or the like are inserted.
  • the intermediate bottom 4 has - like the Figures 2 and 4 show - a lateral inclination and leads into a collecting container 9 for dripping or blown off from the workpieces fluids such as coolants.
  • the collecting container 9 is provided with a cover 10 and a connection 11 for a discharge unit for emptying the collecting container.
  • a conventional blower or, more generally, an air acceleration unit is mounted at the bottom of the false bottom 4.
  • This fan 12 sucks air from the upper chamber 5 through a corresponding recess in the intermediate bottom 4.
  • the air passes through an air duct 13 connected to the fan 12 to an air guiding device 14 which, depending on the position of a flap arranged therein, directs the air either to the upper space 5 or through the lower space 6 to a filter device 15.
  • the air passes through an air tube 16 below the intermediate bottom 4 through an associated recess of the intermediate bottom 4 approximately centrally under the parts receptacle 8, while another air flow through an air duct 17 out of the housing 1 out to the top of the lid 2 from which the airflow emerges approximately centrally above the parts container 8.
  • the air circulates on the described path with the cover 2 closed until the cooling lubricants or the like are blown off the workpieces.
  • the flap (or other suitable deflecting means) of the air guiding device 14 is fixed to a rod-shaped element 18, which is biased upward by a spring, not shown, and pressed downwards by the closed lid.
  • the rod-shaped element 18 is displaced upward by the force of the spring and displaces the louver so that the air flow enters a lower air tube 19, which leads to a central recess 20 in the bottom 7 of the housing 1 leads. From there, the air flow enters the cross-sectionally approximately W-shaped carbon filter 15, which is traversed by the air and thereby filters out all pollutants from the air.
  • the carbon filter 1 5 is attached to a frame 16 a, which is inserted in the manner of a drawer in guide rails 17 a below the bottom 7 of the housing 1.
  • the air duct 17, which leads to the pivotable cover 2 may be formed by a flexible hose or provided with suitable joints.
  • FIGS. 5a, 5b . 6a and 6b is shown a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention.
  • the rod-shaped element 18 does not bear against the underside of the lid 2 of the device, but in the position "lid closed” at the bottom of a locking hook 20 which is attached to a side machine wall.
  • a locking device extends laterally offset from the cover 2 to the rod-shaped element 18 and approximately parallel to this and has at its end an angled latch 21 which presses the rod-shaped element 18 with the flap 22 attached thereto against the force of a spring 23 which bears against a collar 24 of the rod-shaped element 18 is supported.
  • the shaft 25 of the locking device extends through the lid 2 and is connected via this with a handle 26, with which the shaft 25 with the angled latch 21 against the force of a torsion spring 26 in the in the Figures 6a and 6b shown position is rotatable in which the rod-shaped element 18 on the hook 20 over jumps upwards.
  • the air flow which is conducted in the locked position of the lid from the flap 22 to the upper drying outlet 27, is deflected to the lower outlet filter unit 28.
  • the bolt 21 rotates due to the restoring force of the torsion spring 26 above the head end of the rod-shaped element 18 in the starting position, so that at a later closing of the lid, the bolt 21, the rod-shaped element back into the in FIG. 5a shown back position in which the flap 22 closes the access to the output filter unit 28 and the upper output 27 releases.
  • the hook 20 has on its upper side an inclined head surface 29, which strikes the latch 21 during the locking process, wherein, for example, the hook 20 can escape laterally against spring force until the latch 21 can snap under the hook 29.
  • a spring 30 for the fine adjustment of the flap 22 wherein the spring is supported on a above the flap on the rod-shaped member 18 attached collar 31 and the flap 22 against a lower stop of the rod-shaped element 18th presses.
  • This design has the advantage that a negative pressure in the housing is generated even before the lid is opened, so that when the lid is opened no air escapes with harmful components which could endanger an operator.
