Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reinforcement device for containment tanks of a pressurized gas in industrial filter cleaning systems.
  • Such systems allow filtering the dirty air extracted by a system, trapping the dusts by means of suitable filtering elements.
  • the filtering elements consist of so-called “sleeves” or alternatively “cartridges”.
  • the sleeves are fabric filters of different types, depending on the characteristics of the air to be cleaned, and can be made up, e.g., of a series of cylindrical bags arranged alongside one another and made of material with permeability such as to allow the transit of gas and trapping the dust and particulate of various kinds.
  • the cartridges on the other hand consist of a rigid and suitably shaped filtering material.
  • Such filtering stations also have specific systems for cleaning the filtering elements, suitable for intervening periodically to detach the trapped dusts from the filtering elements.
  • a particular type of such cleaning devices contemplates the injection of a pulse of compressed air inside the filtering elements by means of the action of valves that can be operated electrically and which are fitted side by side on a compressed-air storage tank.
  • the injected compressed air acts in the direction opposite to the normal flow of extracted air to be cleaned and causes the shaking or vibration of the filtering elements, inducing the precipitation of the dusts deposited on the outer surface of the filtering elements themselves.
  • the precipitated dusts are then collected up to be retrieved or rejected.
  • Different types of pulse valves exist which differ in terms of operation, size and type of installation with respect to the compressed-air tank.
  • Valves are known, for example, having a threaded or flanged connection that can be coupled to a complementary threaded section or to a corresponding flange respectively made overhanging from the outer surface of the compressed-air tank.
  • the integrated valves comprise, in particular, a valve body which houses the actual valve element, made up, e.g., of a membrane solenoid valve.
  • valve body has one or more openings for letting in the compressed air from the tank and a compressed-air outlet mouth.
  • the valve element is suitable for controlling the flow of air from the inlet openings towards the outlet mouth.
  • the integrated valves also comprise a compressed-air outlet duct, conventionally known as “shooting duct”, which, once fitted, crosses the tank transversally.
  • the shooting duct has a first compressed-air inlet extremity associable, e.g., by screwing, with the outlet mouth of the valve body and a second compressed-air outlet extremity associable with the filtering elements of the dust abatement system.
  • the valve element therefore, is electrically controlled to carry out the injection of compressed air from the tank, through the inlet openings on the valve body, through the first extremity of the shooting duct, as far as the second extremity and towards the filtering elements.
  • the compressed-air tank in fact commonly has an elongated tubular shape with round cross section and two openings have to be made diametrically opposite on this to allow fitting the shooting duct of each of the valves.
  • valve is then fastened to the tank by means of a connection element fitted around the second extremity of the shooting duct and positioned in contact with the outer surface of the tank.
  • a ring nut that can be screwed onto a threaded section of the second extremity or the shooting duct then allows securing the connection element and the valve body on the tank surface, in correspondence to the openings.
  • Suitable seals are placed between the valve body and the tank and between the connection element and the tank.
  • a known method is to fit a bar inside the tank made of metal or other material, with variable section which, once positioned with its extremities in the proximity of the holes and along the direction of crushing of the tank, opposes the out-of-roundness of the tank itself.
  • the metal bar is fastened at one extremity to the inner surface of the tank by means of a welding procedure.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a reinforcement device for containment tanks of a pressurized gas in industrial filter cleaning systems which permits contrasting the out-of-roundness of the tank and, at the same time, avoiding welding operations being made inside the tank itself.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a reinforcement device for containment tanks of a pressurized gas in industrial filter cleaning systems which permits the use of tanks with walls of less thickness, with consequent cutting of total costs.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a reinforcement device for containment tanks of a pressurized gas in industrial filter cleaning systems that allows overcoming the mentioned drawbacks of the state of the art in the ambit of a simple, rational, easy and effective to use as well as low cost solution.
  • the present reinforcement device for containment tanks of a pressurized gas in industrial filter cleaning systems characterised by the fact that it comprises supporting means associable with at least one valve device suitable for being fitted at least partially inside a containment tank of a pressurized gas, and at least one reinforcement element associated with said supporting means and having at least a first and a second extremity which can be positioned in proximity of two substantially opposite portions of the inner surface of said tank.
  • industrial filter cleaning systems conventional-type systems, used in the industrial field to clean filtering elements suitable for air treatment.
  • the figures partially show an example of industrial filter cleaning system, indicated altogether by the reference A, to which has been fitted the reinforcement device 1 according to the invention in a first embodiment ( figures 1 and 2 ) and in a second embodiment ( figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the system A comprises a tank B with elongated tubular shape and round cross section (only partially visible in the illustrations) suitable for containing a gas under pressure, e.g., compressed air.
  • a gas under pressure e.g., compressed air.
  • a first and a second opening C and D are made along the tank B in correspondence to diametrically opposite portions to allow fitting a valve device, indicated altogether by the reference E, usable to inject a pulse of compressed air inside the filtering elements to be cleaned.
  • the valve device E is preferably of the type of a so-called "integrated" valve or the like.
  • valve device E comprises a valve body F housing the control means for the dispensing of the flow of gas coming from the tank B, consisting, e.g., of a membrane solenoid valve.
  • valve body F has one or more openings G for the inlet of the compressed air from the tank B and a mouth H for the outlet of the compressed air.
  • the membrane solenoid valve inside the valve body F is suitable for controlling the flow of air from the openings G towards the mouth H.
  • the valve device E also comprises a duct I for the outlet of the compressed air, conventionally known as "shooting duct", which, once installed, crosses the tank B transversally.
  • the duct I has a first compressed-air inlet extremity associable with the mouth H of the valve body, e.g., by means of the threaded means, and a second compressed-air outlet extremity protruding from the second opening D and which is associable with the filtering elements of the dust abatement system.
  • the valve device E is then electrically controlled to inject compressed air from the tank B, through the openings G onto the valve body F, through the first extremity of the duct I, as far as the second extremity of the duct I and towards the filtering elements.
  • valve device E is then fastened to the tank B by means of a connecting element L fitted around the second extremity of the duct I and positioned in contact with the outer surface of the tank itself.
  • a ring nut M which can be screwed onto a threaded section of the second extremity of the duct I then allows securing the connection element L and the valve body F to the surface of the tank B, in correspondence to the first and second opening C and D.
  • Suitable seals are placed between the valve body F and the tank B and between the connection element L and the tank B to prevent air from escaping.
  • the function of the reinforcement device 1 is to contrast the out-of-roundness of the tank B once the air inside it is pressurised and during the use of the valve device E.
  • the reinforcement device 1 in particular, comprises supporting means associable with the valve device E, altogether indicated by the reference 2 in the first embodiment of the invention ( figures 1 and 2 ) and by the reference 2' in the second embodiment of the invention ( figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the reinforcement device 1 also comprises at least a reinforcement element 3 with a substantially elongated shape associated integral with the supporting means 2, 2' and having a first and a second extremity positionable in correspondence to two opposite portions of the inner surface of the tank B, in the proximity of the first opening C and of the second opening D, respectively.
  • the reinforcement device 1 comprises supporting means 2 associable with the valve body F of the valve device E.
  • the supporting means 2 are composed of a holding element having a ring portion 4 positionable around a protruding portion N of the valve body F having the mouth H for the outlet of the compressed air.
  • the protruding portion N is fitted through the first opening C and extends inside the tank B.
  • the ring portion 4 can be fitted to measure on the protruding portion N, making the holding element 2 integral with the valve body F.
  • the holding element 2 also comprises an arm 5 which extends from the ring portion 4 and to which the reinforcement element 3 is fastened integral.
  • the arm 5 extends overhanging from the ring portion 4 along a direction substantially at right angles with respect to the longitudinal axis of the valve device 2.
  • the reinforcement element 3 is composed of a bar that can be made of metal material, e.g., aluminium, or other non-metal material, e.g., synthetic fibres or thermoplastic materials.
  • the bar 3 is fastened to the free extremity of the arm 5 and extends along a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the duct I, with the extremities arranged in correspondence to opposite portions of the inner surface of the tank B, in the proximity of the first opening C and the second opening D, respectively.
  • the reinforcement element 3 can be fastened to the arm 5 using different methods of known type such as, e.g., interlocking and welding.
  • the reinforcement device 1 comprises supporting means 2' associable with the duct I of the valve device E.
  • the supporting means 2' are composed of a pair of holding elements, arranged aligned the one with the other.
  • Each holding element 2' has a ring portion 4' positionable around a section of the duct I.
  • the ring portions 4' can be fitted to measure on the duct I.
