Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices and apparatus which can be used for draining water from water basins.
  • various industries such as in mining, in the oil industry, in power plants or also in the food industry, there is the problem of the disposal of large quantities of water.
  • Increasingly strict regulations encourage the provision of methods for draining and disposing water used in industrial processes which comply with environmental requirements to a high degree.
  • the object of the present invention is that of providing a device which exploits this principle in a simple, efficient and inexpensive way.
  • the invention provides a vaporizing device which can be used for dispersing water in the air, characterized in that it comprises:
  • the above mentioned planar surfaces which automatically orient the dispensing tubes in the wind direction are carried at one end of one or more dispensing tubes.
  • the dispensing tubes are arranged in a theoretical common plane which is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane by an angle between 0° and 45° and preferably between 10° and 30°. Due to this feature, the interference between the jet ejected by each vaporizing nozzle and the jets ejected by the adjacent nozzles is further decreased, which increases the efficiency in dispersion of the vaporized jets in the air.
  • the cross-member supporting the dispensing tubes is rotatably mounted on a platform carried by a carriage which is vertically movable on the tower-like structure between an operative raised position and a lowered position, which makes maintenance operations easier.
  • the vertical movement of the carriage is driven manually by means of a hand winch on which a cable for lifting the carriage is wound, this cable being engaged on pulleys carried by the tower-like structure.
  • a self-centering system constituted by a guiding member arranged at the top of the tower-like structure, this guiding member being adapted to engage the supporting cross-member when the vertically movable platform is lowered, in order to automatically cause the cross-member to rotate towards a position where it does not interfere with the tower-like structure during lowering of the platform.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • Device 1 is to be used in open air, in areas where there is the need of draining basins formed by waters which are used in industrial processes, such as in the mining industry.
  • figure 1 there is diagrammatically illustrated a water basin A which is drained by drawing water from basin A through a pump P which feeds the water in a pipe C connected to the distributing system forming part of device 1.
  • pump P The details of pump P are not described herein, since this pump can be of any known type and does not fall, taken alone, within the scope of the present invention.
  • Device 1 is able of dispersing the water flow fed to pipe C in the air through a distributing system 2, described in detail in the following, which is mounted upon a tower-like supporting structure 3.
  • the tower-like supporting structure 3 is constituted by a metal tower having a base 3A anchored to the ground and a height which in an actual exemplary embodiment was about 6.0 meters.
  • Carriage 4 carries a platform 6 on which the distributing structure 2 is rotatably mounted around a vertical axis 7 ( figures 5, 5A ) by means of a wheel-like bearing 8.
  • the platform 6 carrying the distributing structure 2 is vertically movable along with carriage 4 along the tower-like supporting structure 3 between a raised operative position (shown in figures 1 , 3 ) and a lowered position, in which maintenance operations on the distributing structure 2 are made easier.
  • Winch 9 comprises a drum 9a for winding and unwinding a lifting cable 11 connected to the structure of carriage 4 and engaged on pulleys 12 freely rotatably mounted at the top of the tower-like structure 3.
  • winch 9 there are associated safety means, of any known type, adapted to hold the winch in the position in which it is left after any operation.
  • the structure of winch 9 can be made in any known way.
  • gear transmission between the axis 9b of crank 10 and axis 9c of drum 9a for reducing the force which must be applied by the operator.
  • stop means of any known type (not shown) both on the tower-like structure 3 and carriage 4, which cooperate with each other to define the raised position and the lowered position of the distributing structure 2.
  • stop means are such as to enable an adjustment of the above mentioned end positions of the carriage.
  • the distributing structure 2 is generally illustrated in figure 4 . It comprises a supporting cross-member 13, arranged horizontally, which is centrally mounted rotatably around the vertical axis 7 on the platform 6, through the bearing 8 ( figure 5A ). To this end, under the cross-member 13 there is rigidly connected a plate 130 ( figure 5A ) which is rotatably mounted on the platform 6 through the bearing 8.
  • Cross-member 13 supports a plurality of dispensing tubes T which are parallel to, and spaced apart from, each other ( figure 4 ), each tube being centrally secured to the cross-member 13 and extending orthogonally thereto, in a rack-like fashion.
  • the dispensing tubes T are arranged in a theoretical common plane which is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane by an angle between 0° and 45°, and preferably between 10° and 30° (see figure 1 ). In an actual embodiment this angle was 20°.
  • the tubular cross-member 13 fulfils the structural function of supporting the dispensing tubes T, and also acts as an inlet manifold for the flow of water under pressure coming from pipe C and headed towards the dispensing tubes T.
  • the inner passage of the tubular cross-member 13 is therefore in communication both with the inner cavities of the dispensing tubes T, and with a connecting member 14 ( figure 5A ) for connection to pipe C.
  • This connecting member 14 communicates to the inner passage of the tubular cross-member 13 through a rotatable coupling (not shown) of any known type, provided centrally through bearing 8, and through a vertical branch-off tube 131 of cross-member 13 ( figure 5A ) which is arranged through plate 130.
  • the supporting cross-member 13 carrying the dispensing tube T is provided with an auxiliary supporting structure 15 ( figure 4 ) including a central upright 16 projecting upwardly from the central portion of cross-member 13, and a pair of tie-cables 17 connecting the top of upright 16 to two rings 18 secured around the cross-member 13 adjacent to the ends thereof, so as to aid cross-member 13 in supporting the weight of the dispensing tubes T.
  • each dispensing tube T has a hollow cross-section (which is of quadrangular shape in the illustrated example) and carries a plurality of nozzle-carrying units 19 onto two of its faces, distributed throughout its longitudinal extension.
  • Each unit 19 includes a tubular connecting member 190 communicating with the inner passage of tube T and having an axis 190a orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of tube T.
  • Each connecting member 190 communicates with a collector 191, whose axis 191 a is orthogonal to axis 190a. From the ends of collector 191 there project two nozzles U whose axes are orthogonal to the axis 191 a of the collector, according to orientations which are different from each other.
  • Figure 11 shows a cross-section of a single nozzle U having a dispensing hole 20 of predetermined reduced diameter.
  • the efficiency in vaporizing the water fed to each nozzle U depends from the water feeding pressure and the diameter of the dispensing hole 20. For a determined pressure value, vaporization increases if diameter of the dispensing hole 20 decreases. However there are technological limits to the possibility of minimizing the dimension of the above mentioned hole.
  • the dispensing hole 20 of each dispensing nozzle U had a diameter of 0.5 mm. and the pressure of the supplied water was 20 bars.
  • planar vertical surfaces W ( figures 1 , 4 ) serving for automatically orienting the rotatable distributing structure 2 in the wind direction, holding the dispensing tubes T parallel to the wind direction.
  • surfaces W are carried at the lowermost ends of the two dispensing tubes T which are arranged at the two side ends of the array of tubes T (see figure 4 ).
  • the flow of water under pressure generated by pump P reaches the vertical branch-off tube 131 ( figure 5A ) through pipe C and the rotatable coupling associated with bearing 8.
  • water under pressure goes within the tubular cross-member 13 and into the inner passages of all the dispensing tubes.
  • the water under pressure which flows along the tubes from the centre towards the ends thereof is ejected outwardly through nozzles U.
  • the pressure of the feeding water is sufficient for ensuring that it reaches also the nozzles at the ends of tubes T with a pressure sufficient for generating jets of highly vaporized water through the holes 20 of nozzles U, so that water is efficiently dispersed in the air.
  • the structure 2 is automatically oriented in the wind direction, with tubes T parallel to the wind direction, thanks to the planar surfaces W carried by the lowermost ends of the two tubes at the ends of the tube array. Due to this feature, a high efficiency is obtained of the dispersion in the air of the vaporized jets ejected by nozzles U.
  • the jets ejected by each dispensing tube T do not interfere with the jets ejected by other tubes and are dispersed quickly in the wind.
  • the inclination of the plane of the array of tubes T with respect to the horizontal plane provides a further reduction of interference between the vaporized jets ejected by the nozzles of a same dispensing tube T.
  • the dispersion in the air of the vaporized jets is also rendered more efficient by that the nozzles U carried by each nozzle-carrying unit 19 are oriented along different directions. Ideally, therefore all the vaporized jets ejected by the nozzles are dispersed along directions parallel to, and spaced apart from, each other, both horizontally and vertically.
  • the device comprises a self-centring system constituted by a fixed cam member 21 carried by the top of the tower-like structure 3, adapted to be engaged by the supporting cross-member 13 when the platform 6 is lowered, in order to automatically cause the cross-member 13 to rotate to a position in which it does not interfere with the tower-like structure 3 during lowering of the platform.
  • this cam member is simply a ring 21, arranged in a vertical plane and projecting from the top of the tower-like structure 3.
  • the surface of ring 21 causes cross-member 13 to slide thereon during the lowering movement, thus applying thereto a force which makes it to rotate around its articulation axis 7 to a position in which it does not interfere with the tower-like structure 3 during the lowering operation.
