Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Mühle gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a mill according to the preamble of claim 1.

Mühlen werden für das Zerkleinern von Feststoffen wie beispielsweise Kohle, Mineralien oder Pigmente eingesetzt. Nach der Art ihrer Konstruktion unterscheidet man Pendelmühlen, Prallmühlen, Schüsselmühlen, Wälzmühlen oder Strahlmühlen, wobei diese Aufzählung nur beispielhaft ist.Mills are used to crush solids such as coal, minerals or pigments. A distinction is made between pendulum mills, impact mills, bowl mills, roller mills or jet mills according to the type of their construction, this list being only exemplary.

Pendelmühlen sind durch ihre als Pendel ausgebildeten Mahlwerkzeuge gekennzeichnet. Diese Pendel sind an einem Querhaupt, das auf einer Welle sitzt, aufgehängt und werden durch die Drehbewegung der Welle und des Querhaupts radial nach außen und gegen eine dort befindliche Mahlbahn gedrückt. Mahlgut gerät während des Mahlvorgangs zwischen Mahlpendel und Mahlbahn und wird dort zerkleinert.Pendulum mills are characterized by their grinding tools designed as pendulums. These pendulums are suspended from a crosshead, which sits on a shaft, and are pressed radially outwards by the rotational movement of the shaft and the crosshead and against a grinding path located there. Grist gets between the grinding pendulum and the grinding track during the grinding process and is crushed there.

Das zerkleinerte Mahlgut wird im Anschluss gesichtet. Bei der Sichtung werden die ausreichend kleinen Partikel (Feingut) entnommen und Partikel mit einer zu großen Partikelgröße (Grobgut) erneut der Mühle zugeführt, um weiter zerkleinert zu werden. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein Materialzyklus, den Partikel so lange durchlaufen, bis die gewünschte Partikelgröße erreicht ist.The ground material is then sifted through. During the screening, the sufficiently small particles (fine material) are removed and particles with an excessively large particle size (coarse material) are fed back into the mill in order to be further crushed. This creates a material cycle that particles go through until the desired particle size is reached.

Eine solche Pendelmühle ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2009 051 226 A1 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Pendelmühle ist unmittelbar oberhalb des Mahlwerks ein Sichter angeordnet. Die Rückführung des Grobguts erfolgt über eine Schnecke, mittels der das Grobgut zunächst aus dem Bereich zwischen Sichter und Pendelmühle gefördert wird, um außerhalb mit frischem Aufgabegut, also dem zu mahlenden Feststoff, vermischt zu werden. Anschließend wird diese Mischung der Pendelmühle oberhalb des Mahlbereichs zugeführt. Diese Rückführung ist sehr aufwendig und energieintensiv.Such a pendulum mill is from, for example DE 10 2009 051 226 A1 known. In this known pendulum mill, a classifier is arranged directly above the grinder. The coarse material is returned via a screw, by means of which the coarse material is first conveyed from the area between the classifier and the pendulum mill to outside with fresh feed material, ie the solid to be ground to be mixed. This mixture is then fed to the pendulum mill above the grinding area. This return is very complex and energy-intensive.

Einen anderen Weg beschreitet die US 5,330,110 , die eine Pendelmühle mit integriertem Sichter und einer Partikelumwälzeinrichtung offenbart. Bei der Partikelumwälzung werden sämtliche Partikel von einem Rotor radial nach außen beschleunigt und prallen auf die Außenwand der Pendelmühle. Dort trennen sich grobe und feine Partikel. Hinzu kommen die am Sichter anfallenden groben Partikel. Sämtliche groben Partikel werden durch Fallrohre außerhalb des Mühlengehäuses in einen Bereich unterhalb der Pendel zurückgeführt. Durch die innerhalb des Mühlengehäuses entstehende Strömung werden die groben Partikel von unten erneut in den Mahlbereich transportiert und weiter zerkleinert.She takes a different path US 5,330,110 , which discloses a pendulum mill with an integrated sifter and a particle circulation device. During particle circulation, all particles are accelerated radially outwards by a rotor and hit the outer wall of the pendulum mill. Coarse and fine particles separate there. In addition, there are the coarse particles on the classifier. All coarse particles are returned to the area below the pendulum through downpipes outside the mill housing. The coarse particles are transported from below into the grinding area again by the flow created within the mill housing and further crushed.

Ähnlich ist auch die Pendelmühle der US 5,279,466 aufgebaut. Dort wird das Grobgut allerdings von oben in den Mahlbereich eingebracht. In beiden Fällen vergrößert sich der Bauraum der Pendelmühle, was nachteilig ist.The pendulum mill is similar US 5,279,466 built up. There, however, the coarse material is introduced into the grinding area from above. In both cases, the construction space of the pendulum mill increases, which is disadvantageous.

Alternativ kann die Rückführung des Grobguts gemäß US 4,830,290 auch innerhalb des Mühlengehäuses stattfinden. Bei dieser Art der Rückführung entstehen jedoch gegenläufige Strömungen: die der aufsteigenden, sich in Richtung des Sichters bewegenden Partikel und die der herabfallenden Partikel des Grobguts. Diese beiden Strömungen behindern sich, was unter anderem dazu führt, dass Partikel, die noch nicht gesichtet wurden, von dem Grobgut mitgerissen werden. Dadurch landen Partikel, die bereits klein genug sind, erneut im Mahlbereich und werden möglicherweise weiter zerkleinert. Dies ist unerwünscht. Insgesamt führen die entgegengesetzten Strömungen zu einem erhöhten Leistungsverbrauch und zu einem geringeren Durchsatz der Mühle.Alternatively, the return of the coarse material can be carried out in accordance with US 4,830,290 also take place inside the mill housing. With this type of return, however, opposing flows arise: those of the ascending particles moving in the direction of the classifier and those of the falling particles of the coarse material. These two currents interfere, which among other things means that particles that have not yet been sighted are carried away by the coarse material. As a result, particles that are already small enough end up in the grinding area again and may be further crushed. This is undesirable. Overall, the opposite currents lead to an increased power consumption and to a lower throughput of the mill.

Die US 2009/0121060 A1 versucht, dieses Problem dadurch zu lösen, dass in dem Mühlengehäuse ein rohrförmiger Einsatz angeordnet wird. Zwischen dem Einsatz und der Außenwand des Mühlengehäuses wird ein Ringraum gebildet, der für die herabfallenden Partikel des Grobguts vorgesehen ist. Die aus dem Mühlenbereich aufsteigenden Partikel hingegen befinden sich im Inneren des Einsatzes. Auf diese Weise sollen die zwei Partikelströmungen getrennt werden, wodurch die beschriebenen Nachteile vermieden werden sollen.The US 2009/0121060 A1 tries to solve this problem by placing a tubular insert in the mill housing. An annular space is formed between the insert and the outer wall of the mill housing, which is provided for the falling particles of the coarse material. The particles rising from the mill area, however, are inside the insert. In this way, the two particle flows are to be separated, thereby avoiding the disadvantages described.

Die Lösung der US 2009/0121060 A1 ist jedoch aus mehreren Gründen nachteilig. Zum einen ist der Ringraum sehr schmal und es ist fraglich, ob das Grobgut tatsächlich den Weg in den Ringraum findet. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, dass der Ringraum verstopft. Schließlich ist die unmittelbare Rückführung an die Mahlpendel nicht sichergestellt. Das Grobgut gelangt durch den Ringraum in einen Bereich seitlich oberhalb der Mahlrollen. Durch die aufsteigende Strömung besteht die Möglichkeit, dass Partikel überhaupt nicht weiter zerkleinert, sondern direkt wieder von der Strömung mitgerissen und dem Sichter zugeführt werden. Dies mindert den Durchsatz der Mühle, weil die Partikel den gesamten Zyklus erneut durchlaufen müssen.The solution of US 2009/0121060 A1 however, is disadvantageous for several reasons. Firstly, the annular space is very narrow and it is questionable whether the coarse material actually finds its way into the annular space. There is also the possibility that the annulus becomes blocked. Finally, the direct return to the grinding pendulum is not guaranteed. The coarse material passes through the annular space into an area laterally above the grinding rollers. Due to the ascending flow, there is the possibility that particles will not be further crushed at all, but will be swept away by the flow and fed to the classifier. This reduces the throughput of the mill because the particles have to go through the entire cycle again.

Aus der DE 10 2011 014 592 A1 ist eine Wälzmühle mit integriertem Sichter bekannt, die eine Mahlschüssel aufweist, welche um eine Längsachse der Mühle rotiert. Die Mahlschüssel ist mit einer Mahlbahn versehen, auf welcher vom Aufgabegut ein Mahlbett gebildet wird. Auf dem Mahlbett rollen stationär angeordnete Mahlwalzen ab.From the DE 10 2011 014 592 A1 a roller mill with an integrated classifier is known which has a grinding bowl which rotates about a longitudinal axis of the mill. The grinding bowl is provided with a grinding track on which a feed bed is formed from the feed material. Stationarily arranged grinding rollers roll off the grinding bed.

Das vom Sichter abgewiesene Grobgut fällt in einen Grießekonus, der bodenseitig eine Öffnung aufweist, welche eine mittige Zuführung des Grobkorns auf einen Verteilkegel ermöglicht. Aufgrund von Verwirbelungen im Mahlraum gelangt nur ein Teil des zurückgeführten Grobgutes an die Mahlwalzen.The coarse material rejected by the classifier falls into a semolina cone, which has an opening on the bottom, which enables the coarse grain to be fed centrally to a distribution cone. Due to turbulence in the grinding chamber, only part of the returned coarse material reaches the grinding rollers.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Mühle bereitzustellten, die einen höheren Durchsatz als bisherige Mühlen ermöglicht.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a mill which enables a higher throughput than previous mills.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Mühle mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a mill with the features of claim 1.

Die Mühle weist ein Mühlengehäuse mit einem Innenraum auf, in dem sich ein Mahlraum B1 befindet, in welchem eine Mahleinrichtung mit mindestens einem Mahlwerkzeug angeordnet ist. Der Sichter ist über der Mahleinrichtung in einem Sichtraum B3 angeordnet und weist eine Sichtzone auf. Es ist mindestens eine Falleinrichtung vorgesehen, die die Sichtzone mit dem Mahlraum verbindet. Die Mühle ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass unter dem Sichter mindestens ein Verteilteller angeordnet ist, der mindestens eine Fallöffnung aufweist, an der die mindestens eine Falleinrichtung angeordnet ist.The mill has a mill housing with an interior, in which there is a grinding chamber B1, in which a grinding device with at least one grinding tool is arranged. The classifier is arranged above the grinding device in a classifying room B3 and has a viewing zone. At least one drop device is provided which connects the viewing zone to the grinding chamber. The mill is characterized in that at least one distribution plate is arranged under the classifier, which has at least one drop opening, on which the at least one drop device is arranged.

Die Mühle ist vorzugsweise eine Pendelmühle mit einer rotierend angeordneten Mahleinrichtung, die mindestens ein Mahlwerkzeug aufweist. Das Mahlwerkzeug weist vorzugsweise ein Mahlpendel mit einer drehbar gelagerten Mahlrolle oder Mahlwalze auf, die beispielsweise auf einem ortsfesten Mahlring umläuft. Die Mühle kann gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform eine Wälzmühle mit einer stationär angeordneten Mahleinrichtung sein, die mindestens ein Mahlwerkzeug aufweist. Das Mahlwerkzeug weist vorzugsweise ein stationär angeordnetes Mahlpendel mit einer drehbar gelagerten Mahlrolle oder Mahlwalze auf, die beispielsweise mit einer rotierenden Mahlschüssel zusammenwirkt.The mill is preferably a pendulum mill with a rotating grinding device that has at least one grinding tool. The grinding tool preferably has a grinding pendulum with a rotatably mounted grinding roller or grinding roller, which rotates, for example, on a stationary grinding ring. According to a further embodiment, the mill can be a roller mill with a stationary grinding device, which has at least one grinding tool. The grinding tool preferably has a stationary grinding pendulum with a rotatably mounted grinding roller or grinding roller, which interacts, for example, with a rotating grinding bowl.

Die Mahlbahn ist die Fläche, auf der die Mahlrolle oder Mahlwalze auf dem Mahlring oder der Mahlschüssel abrollt.The grinding track is the surface on which the grinding roller or roller rolls on the grinding ring or grinding bowl.

Die Längsachse X der Mühle ist vorzugsweise eine vertikale Achse und vorzugsweise identisch mit der Drehachse der Mühle.The longitudinal axis X of the mill is preferably a vertical axis and is preferably identical to the axis of rotation of the mill.

Das vom Sichter abgewiesene Grobgut fällt auf den unter dem Sichter angeordneten Verteilteller und gelangt von dort durch die mindestens eine Fallöffnung in die betreffende Falleinrichtung. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Grobgut sofort innerhalb des Mühlengehäuses kanalisiert wird, so dass es weitgehend nicht mit dem vom Mahlraum aufströmenden Mahlgut/Luftstrom in Kontakt kommt. Durch diese Art der Trennung der beiden Strömungen konnte der Durchsatz der Mühle um bis zu 20% gesteigert werden. Dadurch kann mit der erfindungsgemäßen Mühle mehr Mahlgut pro Zeiteinheit zerkleinert und die Mühle entsprechend wirtschaftlicher betrieben werden.The coarse material rejected by the classifier falls onto the distribution plate arranged under the classifier and from there passes through the at least one drop opening into the relevant fall device. This has the advantage that the coarse material is immediately channeled within the mill housing, so that it largely does not come into contact with the ground material / air flow flowing from the grinding chamber. Through this type of separation of the two flows, the throughput of the mill could be increased by up to 20%. As a result, more regrind per unit of time can be comminuted with the mill according to the invention and the mill can accordingly be operated more economically.

Der Innenraum des Mühlengehäuses der Mühle ist in Richtung der Schwerkraft, d. h. von oben nach unten, in drei Bereiche unterteilt. In einem oberen Bereich befindet sich der Sichtraum, der vorzugsweise von einer Mühlendecke bis zu einer Unterkante des Sichtrades reicht. In einem unteren Bereich befindet sich der Mahlraum, in dem die Mahlrollen der Mahlwerkzeuge angeordnet sind. Zwischen diesen beiden Räumen befindet sich ein Transportraum, in dem das gemahlene Gut nach oben zum Sichter transportiert und das vom Sichter abgewiesene Grobgut nach unten fällt.The interior of the mill housing of the mill is in the direction of gravity, i.e. H. from top to bottom, divided into three areas. The viewing area is located in an upper area, which preferably extends from a mill ceiling to a lower edge of the viewing wheel. The grinding area, in which the grinding rollers of the grinding tools are arranged, is located in a lower area. Between these two rooms there is a transport room in which the ground goods are transported upwards to the classifier and the coarse goods rejected by the classifier fall downwards.

Der Ventilteller befindet sich im Transportraum, vorzugsweise im oberen Bereich des Transportraumes.The valve disk is located in the transport space, preferably in the upper area of the transport space.

Vorzugsweise ist der Durchmesser des Verteiltellers größer gleich dem Durchmesser des Sichterrades, insbesondere größer gleich dem Außendurchmesser des Sichters. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass das gesamte Grobgut, das aus der Sichterzone des Sichters herabfällt, vom Verteilteller erfasst wird.The diameter of the distributor plate is preferably greater than or equal to the diameter of the classifier wheel, in particular greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the classifier. This ensures that all of the coarse material that falls from the classifier sifter zone is captured by the distribution plate.

Vorzugsweise ist zwischen dem Sichter und dem Verteilteller eine umlaufende Begrenzungswand angeordnet. Die Begrenzungswand verhindert, dass das vom Sichter herabfallende Grobgut neben dem Verteilteller nach unten fällt und somit nicht in die Fallöffnung gelangt.A circumferential boundary wall is preferably arranged between the classifier and the distribution plate. The boundary wall prevents that from Coarse material falling gently down next to the distributor plate falls down and thus does not get into the drop opening.

Vorzugsweise ist die Höhe der umlaufenden Begrenzungswand gleich oder kleiner dem Abstand zwischen Sichter und Verteilteller. Vorzugsweise weist die Begrenzungswand einen oberen kreisförmigen Rand und einen unteren kreisförmigen Rand auf. Der Durchmesser des oberen kreisförmigen Randes ist vorzugsweise größer als der Innendurchmesser des Leitschaufelkranzes, insbesondere größer als der Außendurchmesser des Leitschaufelkranzes. Der Durchmesser des unteren kreisförmigen Randes ist vorzugsweise kleiner als der Durchmesser des Verteiltellers.The height of the peripheral boundary wall is preferably equal to or less than the distance between the classifier and the distributor plate. The boundary wall preferably has an upper circular edge and a lower circular edge. The diameter of the upper circular edge is preferably larger than the inner diameter of the guide vane ring, in particular larger than the outer diameter of the guide vane ring. The diameter of the lower circular edge is preferably smaller than the diameter of the distribution plate.

Je nach Abmessungen der Durchmesser von Sichter und Verteilteller kann die umlaufende Begrenzungswand ein Zylinder oder ein Konus sein. Eine konusförmige Begrenzungswand mit einem gegenüber dem Durchmesser des oberen Randes kleineren Durchmesser des unteren Randes wird insbesondere dann verwendet, wenn der Durchmesser Dv des Verteiltellers kleiner als die Durchmesser D1 oder D2 sind.Depending on the dimensions of the diameters of the classifier and distributor plate, the circumferential boundary wall can be a cylinder or a cone. A conical boundary wall with a smaller diameter of the lower edge compared to the diameter of the upper edge is used in particular when the diameter Dv of the distributor plate is smaller than the diameter D 1 or D 2 .

Die umlaufende Begrenzungswand ist vorzugsweise ortsfest am Sichtergehäuse befestigt.The circumferential boundary wall is preferably fixed in place on the classifier housing.

Um das Grobgut möglichst gleichmäßig zu verteilen, weist der Verteilteller mehrere Fallöffnungen und somit auch mehrere Falleinrichtungen auf.In order to distribute the coarse material as evenly as possible, the distributor plate has several drop openings and thus also several drop devices.

Vorzugsweise sind in dem Verteilteller mehrere Fallöffnungen vorgesehen, die auf einem Kreis K1 um die Längsachse X der Mühle verteilt angeordnet, wobei der Durchmesser des Kreises K1 vorzugsweise im Bereich zwischen dem Durchmesser des Sichterrades und dem Außendurchmesser des Sichters liegt. Um eine Kollision des herabfallenden Grobgutes mit dem aufströmenden Mahlgut/Luftstrom zu verhindern, kann zwischen Sichter und Verteilteller zusätzlich eine zylindrische Wand angeordnet sein. Der Durchmesser der zylindrischen Wand entspricht vorzugsweise dem Durchmesser des Verteiltellers.Preferably, several drop openings are provided in the distribution plate, which are arranged distributed on a circle K 1 around the longitudinal axis X of the mill, the diameter of the circle K 1 preferably being in the range between the diameter of the classifier wheel and the outside diameter of the classifier. In order to prevent a collision of the falling coarse material with the flowing regrind / air flow, a cylindrical wall can also be arranged between the classifier and the distributor plate. The diameter of the cylindrical wall preferably corresponds to the diameter of the distribution plate.

Vorzugsweise ist die mindestens eine Falleinrichtung im Innenraum des Mühlengehäuses, insbesondere innerhalb des Transportraums angeordnet. Der Vorteil besteht darin, dass dadurch eine kompakte Ausgestaltung der Mühle realisiert werden kann.The at least one drop device is preferably arranged in the interior of the mill housing, in particular within the transport space. The advantage is that the mill can be made compact.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Falleinrichtung besteht darin, dass mittels der Falleinrichtung das Grobgut nicht nur bis in den Mahlraum gelangt, sondern dort auch gezielt an dem Ort ausgeleitet werden kann, wo der Mahlprozess stattfindet.Another advantage of the falling device is that the coarse material not only reaches the grinding chamber by means of the falling device, but can also be discharged there specifically at the location where the grinding process takes place.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich die mindestens eine Falleinrichtung bis zu der jeweiligen Mahlrolle oder Mahlwalze.The at least one falling device preferably extends as far as the respective grinding roller or grinding roller.

Auf diese Weise werden die beiden Strömungen (Grobgut von dem Sichter zu dem Mahlraum sowie gemahlenes Material von dem Mahlraum zu dem Sichter) noch wirksamer voneinander getrennt. Entgegengesetzte Strömungen, die sich gegenseitig behindern und zu Verwirbelungen führen, werden nicht nur im Transportraum, sondern auch im Mahlraum weitgehend vermieden.In this way, the two flows (coarse material from the classifier to the grinding chamber and ground material from the grinding chamber to the classifier) are separated from one another more effectively. Opposing currents, which hinder each other and lead to turbulence, are largely avoided not only in the transport area, but also in the grinding area.

Um das Grobgut möglichst nah an den Bereich, in dem es gemahlen werden soll, heranzubringen, ist bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorgesehen, dass die mindestens eine Falleinrichtung jeweils mindestens einem Mahlwerkzeug zugeordnet ist und dass sich die Falleinrichtung im Mahlraum bis zu dem jeweiligen Mahlwerkzeug erstreckt.In order to bring the coarse material as close as possible to the area in which it is to be ground, in an advantageous further development it is provided that the at least one falling device is in each case assigned to at least one grinding tool and that the falling device in the grinding chamber extends to the respective grinding tool.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich die mindestens eine Falleinrichtung bis zu der jeweiligen Mahlrolle oder Mahlwalze.The at least one falling device preferably extends as far as the respective grinding roller or grinding roller.

Bei vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen der Mühle ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest eine Falleinrichtung zwischen zwei Mahleinrichtungen angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise ist zwischen jeweils zwei Mahlwerkzeugen jeweils eine Falleinrichtung angeordnet. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Mühle die gleiche Anzahl an Mahlwerkzeugen, Fallöffnungen und Falleinrichtungen auf.In advantageous developments of the mill, it is provided that at least one falling device is arranged between two grinding devices. A falling device is preferably arranged between two grinding tools. The mill particularly preferably has the same number of grinding tools, drop openings and drop devices.

Besonders bevorzugt wird zumindest ein Auslass der Falleinrichtung auf den Mühlenboden und/oder eine Mahlbahn und/oder eine Mahlrolle gerichtet.Particularly preferably, at least one outlet of the dropping device is directed onto the mill floor and / or a grinding track and / or a grinding roller.

Die Auslassrichtung des Auslasses der Falleinrichtung beeinflusst den Mahlvorgang. Unter der Auslassrichtung wird die Richtung verstanden, in die das Grobgut von der Falleinrichtung nach dem Verlassen der Falleinrichtung strömt. Die Auslassrichtung ist insbesondere senkrecht zu einer Auslassfläche des Auslasses angeordnet. Die Auslassfläche ist insbesondere eine Fläche, welche die Auslassöffnung in der Falleinrichtung verschließt. Bevorzugt ist die Auslassfläche eine Ebene parallel zur Längsachse der Mühle.The outlet direction of the outlet of the dropping device influences the grinding process. The outlet direction is understood to mean the direction in which the coarse material flows from the falling device after leaving the falling device. The outlet direction is in particular arranged perpendicular to an outlet surface of the outlet. The outlet surface is in particular a surface which closes the outlet opening in the falling device. The outlet surface is preferably a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mill.

Bei vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen der Mühle ist vorgesehen, dass eine horizontale Komponente der Auslassrichtung zumindest einer Falleinrichtung in einem Auslasswinkel γ zu einer Radialrichtung eines Kreises K2 liegt, auf dem die Falleinrichtungen angeordnet sind, wobei gilt 70° < γ < 110°.In advantageous developments of the mill, it is provided that a horizontal component of the outlet direction of at least one falling device lies at an outlet angle γ to a radial direction of a circle K 2 on which the falling devices are arranged, 70 ° <γ <110 °.

Dabei wird für einen bestimmten Auslass die Radialrichtung betrachtet, die durch die Hochachse der dazugehörigen Falleinrichtung verläuft. Der Schnittpunkt der zu betrachtenden Radialrichtung mit der Auslassrichtung liegt auf der Hochachse der dazugehörigen Falleinrichtung. Die Radialrichtung und die Auslassrichtung bilden den Auslasswinkel γ. Der Kreis K2 ist eine Kreisbahn, auf der die Hochachsen der Falleinrichtungen liegen oder auf der sich die Hochachsen der Falleinrichtungen bei bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch fortbewegen, wie dies vorzugsweise bei der Verwendung in einer Pendelmühle der Fall ist. Auf diese Weise tritt das Grobgut im wesentlichen in oder entgegen der Drehrichtung der Falleinrichtungen aus. Der Austritt entgegen der Drehrichtung hat zur Folge, dass weniger Verwirbelungen in dem Mahlraum entstehen.The radial direction that runs through the vertical axis of the associated drop device is considered for a specific outlet. The intersection of the radial direction to be considered with the outlet direction lies on the vertical axis of the associated fall device. The radial direction and the outlet direction form the outlet angle γ. The circle K 2 is a circular path on which the vertical axes of the falling devices lie or on which the vertical axes of the falling devices move when used as intended, as is preferably the case when used in a pendulum mill. In this way, the coarse material emerges essentially in or against the direction of rotation of the falling devices. The exit against the direction of rotation means that less turbulence is created in the grinding chamber.

Ebenfalls vorteilhaft ist eine Anordnung der horizontalen Komponente der Auslassrichtung zumindest einer Falleinrichtung zu der Radialrichtung in einem Auslasswinkel γ, wobei gilt -30° < γ < +30°. Dadurch erfolgt der Austritt des Grobgutes im wesentlichen entlang des Radius des Kreises K2. In diesem Fall kann die Auslassöffnung vom Kreis K2 aus nach innen in Richtung des Zentrums oder nach außen gerichtet sein. Wird die Austrittsöffnung nach außen gerichtet, so tritt das Grobgut in Richtung der Mahlbahn aus, wodurch das Grobgut auf direktem Weg in den Bereich gelangt, in dem es gemahlen werden soll.It is also advantageous to arrange the horizontal component of the outlet direction of at least one drop device to the radial direction at an outlet angle γ, where -30 ° <γ <+ 30 ° applies. As a result, the coarse material exits essentially along the radius of the circle K 2 . In this case, the outlet opening from the circle K 2 can be directed inwards towards the center or outwards. If the outlet opening is directed outwards, the coarse material exits in the direction of the grinding path, as a result of which the coarse material arrives directly in the area in which it is to be ground.

Bei vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen der Mühle ist vorgesehen, dass sich zumindest eine Falleinrichtung an dem unteren Ende verjüngt oder einen kleineren Querschnitt aufweist als der Rest der Falleinrichtung. Diese Ausführung der Falleinrichtung kommt insbesondere dann zur Anwendung, wenn nur eine geringe Menge Grobgut von der Sichtzone in den Mahlbereich transportiert werden muss. Ist die Öffnung für das Grobgut im Verhältnis zu der Menge an Grobgut zu groß, so kann es zu einer unzureichenden Strömung kommen.In advantageous developments of the mill, it is provided that at least one falling device tapers at the lower end or has a smaller cross section than the rest of the falling device. This version of the falling device is used in particular when only a small amount of coarse material has to be transported from the viewing zone to the grinding area. If the opening for the coarse material is too large in relation to the amount of coarse material, there can be an insufficient flow.

Vorzugsweise weist die zumindest eine Falleinrichtung an einem unteren Ende einen gekrümmten Abschnitt mit einem Auslass auf.The at least one falling device preferably has a curved section with an outlet at a lower end.

Dadurch kann der Auslass der Falleinrichtung so ausgerichtet werden, dass das Grobgut aus einer Falleinrichtung in eine bestimmte Richtung, in einen bestimmten Bereich der Mühle oder auf ein bestimmtes Bauteil der Mühle transportiert wird.As a result, the outlet of the falling device can be aligned such that the coarse material from a falling device in a certain direction, in a certain direction Area of the mill or on a specific component of the mill is transported.

Vorzugsweise umfasst die Falleinrichtung einen im Innenraum des Mühlengehäuses abgetrennten Fallraum, ein Fallrohr und/oder einen Fallschlauch. Der Fallraum kann beispielsweise durch entsprechende Einbauten innerhalb des Mühlengehäuses abgetrennt werden. Der Querschnitt der Falleinrichtungen kann beliebig gewählt werden, wobei runde oder mehreckige Querschnitte aus Herstellungsgründen bevorzugt sind.The falling device preferably comprises a falling space, a falling pipe and / or a falling hose, which is separated in the interior of the mill housing. The drop area can be separated, for example, by appropriate internals within the mill housing. The cross section of the fall devices can be chosen as desired, with round or polygonal cross sections being preferred for production reasons.

Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform sind die Mahleinrichtung und die mindestens eine Falleinrichtung um die Längsachse X drehbar angeordnet. Die gemeinsame Rotation von Mahleinrichtung und Falleinrichtung bzw. Falleinrichtungen wird vorzugsweise bei einer Pendelmühle eingesetzt.According to a special embodiment, the grinding device and the at least one falling device are arranged so as to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis X. The common rotation of grinding device and falling device or falling devices is preferably used in a pendulum mill.

Vorzugsweise ist der Verteilteller an einer rotierenden Mahleinrichtung angeordnet.The distributor plate is preferably arranged on a rotating grinding device.

Die Pendelmühle besitzt eine Antriebswelle, an der die Mahleinrichtung befestigt ist. Die Mahleinrichtung weist vorzugsweise ein Querhaupt auf, an dem die Mahlpendel aufgehängt sind. Vorzugsweise ist der zumindest eine Verteilteller an einer Antriebswelle der Mühle oder an einem an der Antriebswelle befestigten Querhaupt befestigt.The pendulum mill has a drive shaft to which the grinding device is attached. The grinding device preferably has a crosshead on which the grinding pendulums are suspended. The at least one distribution plate is preferably fastened to a drive shaft of the mill or to a crosshead fastened to the drive shaft.

Durch die Anordnung der Fallöffnungen und damit auch der Falleinrichtungen auf einem Kreis wird eine gleichmäßige Lastverteilung für das Querhaupt bzw. die Antriebswelle ermöglicht. Andere Anordnungen können zu einer ungleichmäßigen Beanspruchung insbesondere der Antriebswelle führen, wodurch sich ihre Lebensdauer verringert.The arrangement of the drop openings and thus also the drop devices on a circle enables a uniform load distribution for the crosshead or the drive shaft. Other arrangements can lead to uneven stress, particularly on the drive shaft, thereby reducing its service life.

Das zu mahlende Gut (Mahlgut) neigt dazu, sich auf einem Mühlenboden des Mühlengehäuses abzulagern. In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Mühle ist in dem Mühlengehäuse zumindest eine Schaufel angeordnet, wobei jeder Schaufel eine Falleinrichtung zugeordnet ist. Die Schaufeln sind vorzugsweise am Mühlenboden angeordnet und rotieren ebenfalls um die Drehachse X und transportieren das Mahlgut von dem Mühlenboden in Richtung der jeweiligen Mahlrolle bzw. der Mahlbahn.The material to be ground (ground material) tends to be deposited on a mill base of the mill housing. In an advantageous development of the mill, at least one blade is arranged in the mill housing, each blade being assigned a drop device. The blades are preferably arranged on the mill base and likewise rotate about the axis of rotation X and transport the ground material from the mill base in the direction of the respective grinding roller or the grinding track.

Vorzugsweise ist mindestens ein Auslass der Falleinrichtung auf eine Schaufel gerichtet.At least one outlet of the falling device is preferably directed onto a blade.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Ausführungsform einer Mühle 10, die als Pendelmühle ausgeführt ist. Die Pendelmühle 10 besitzt eine Längsachse X, die auch gleichzeitig die Rotationsachse bildet. Die Pendelmühle 10 weist ein Mühlengehäuse 20 mit einem Innenraum 20a auf, der von einer Umfangswand 22, einer Mühlendecke 25 und einem Mühlenboden 21 begrenzt wird. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a mill 10, which is designed as a pendulum mill. The pendulum mill 10 has a longitudinal axis X, which also forms the axis of rotation at the same time. The pendulum mill 10 has a mill housing 20 with an interior 20a which is delimited by a peripheral wall 22, a mill ceiling 25 and a mill floor 21.

Der Innenraum 20a des Mühlengehäuses 20 ist in drei Räume B1, B2 und B3 unterteilt, die als Mahlraum B1, Transportraum B2 und Sichtraum B3 bezeichnet werden.The interior 20a of the mill housing 20 is divided into three rooms B1, B2 and B3, which are referred to as grinding room B1, transport room B2 and viewing room B3.

Im Sichtraum B3 ist der Sichter 100 angeordnet, der ein Sichterrad 110 mit dem Durchmesser D1 aufweist. Mittels einer Sichterwelle 114 wird das Sichterrad 110 angetrieben. Der Sichter 100 weist außerdem einen das Sichterrad 110 umschließenden Leitschaufelkranz 111 auf, der den Außendurchmesser D2 aufweist. Zwischen dem Sichterrad 110 und dem Leitschaufelkranz 111 befindet sich die Sichtzone 102 des Sichters 100.The classifier 100, which has a classifying wheel 110 with the diameter D 1 , is arranged in the classifying room B3. The classifying wheel 110 is driven by a classifying shaft 114. The classifier 100 also has a guide vane ring 111 which surrounds the classifying wheel 110 and which has the outside diameter D 2 . The viewing zone 102 of the classifier 100 is located between the classifier wheel 110 and the guide vane ring 111.

Unter dem Sichter 100 befindet sich eine Mahleinrichtung 80 mit einem Querhaupt 88 und drei Mahlwerkzeugen 81 in Gestalt von Mahlpendeln 82, von denen zwei dargestellt sind. Jedes Mahlpendel 82 weist eine Pendelwelle 84 mit einer Mahlrolle 86 auf. Die Mahlrollen 86 befinden sich im Mahlraum B3.Under the sifter 100 there is a grinding device 80 with a crosshead 88 and three grinding tools 81 in the form of grinding pendulums 82, two of which are shown. Each grinding pendulum 82 has a pendulum shaft 84 with a grinding roller 86. The grinding rollers 86 are located in the grinding room B3.

Die Mahlpendel sind schwenkbar an dem Querhaupt 88 befestigt. Bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch werden die Mahlpendel 82 gegen die Mahlbahn 23 des Mahlrings 27 des Mühlengehäuses 20 gedrückt. Zwischen den Mahlräumen 86 und der Mahlbahn 23 wird das Mahlgut gemahlen.The grinding pendulums are pivotally attached to the crosshead 88. When used as intended, the grinding pendulums 82 are pressed against the grinding track 23 of the grinding ring 27 of the mill housing 20. The ground material is ground between the grinding spaces 86 and the grinding path 23.

Unterhalb des Mühlengehäuses 20 ist eine Antriebseinrichtung (nicht dargestellt) angeordnet, die eine Antriebswelle 30 antreibt. Die Antriebswelle 30 erstreckt sich von der Antriebseinrichtung in das Mühlengehäuse 20. Das Querhaupt 88 der Mahleinrichtung 80 ist am oberen Ende 34 der Antriebswelle 30 angeordnet.A drive device (not shown) which drives a drive shaft 30 is arranged below the mill housing 20. The drive shaft 30 extends from the drive device into the mill housing 20. The crosshead 88 of the grinding device 80 is arranged at the upper end 34 of the drive shaft 30.

Der Mahlraum B1 erstreckt sich von dem Mühlenboden 21 nach oben bis zu einer Oberkante 26 der Mahlbahn 23. Der Sichtraum B3 erstreckt sich von einer Mühlendecke 25 bis zu einer Unterkante 116 des Sichterrades 110. Zwischen den Räumen B1 und B3 befindet sich der Transportraum B2, in dem der Verteilteller 40, das Querhaupt 88 und die Pendelwelle 84 angeordnet sind. Die Mahlpendel 82 erstrecken sich von dem Querhaupt 88 bis in den Mahlraum B1.The grinding area B1 extends from the mill floor 21 up to an upper edge 26 of the grinding track 23. The viewing area B3 extends from a mill ceiling 25 to a lower edge 116 of the classifier wheel 110. The transport area B2 is located between the areas B1 and B3, in which the distributor plate 40, the crosshead 88 and the pendulum shaft 84 are arranged. The grinding pendulums 82 extend from the crosshead 88 into the grinding chamber B1.

Im Transportraum B2 ist über dem Querhaupt an der Antriebswelle 30 ein Verteilteller 40 mit einem Durchmesser Dv angeordnet, der größer ist als der Außendurchmesser D2 des Sichters 100. Der Verteilteller 40 wird bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch von der Antriebswelle 30 rotatorisch angetrieben. Dadurch dreht sich der Verteilteller 40 ebenfalls um die Drehachse X. Der Verteilteller 40 weist eine runde Scheibe auf, in der Fallöffnungen 42 angeordnet sind. In der Mitte des Verteiltellers 40 ist ein Verteilerkegel 43 angeordnet. Von den mehreren Fallöffnungen 42 ist lediglich eine Fallöffnung 42 dargestellt, an der eine sich nach unten erstreckende Falleinrichtung 60 in Form eines Fallrohres befestigt ist.A distribution plate 40 with a diameter Dv which is larger than the outer diameter D 2 of the classifier 100 is arranged in the transport space B2 above the crosshead on the drive shaft 30. The distribution plate 40 is rotatably driven by the drive shaft 30 when used as intended. As a result, the distributor plate 40 also rotates about the axis of rotation X. The distributor plate 40 has a round disk in which drop openings 42 are arranged. A distributor cone 43 is arranged in the middle of the distributor plate 40. Of the several drop openings 42, only one drop opening 42 is shown, to which a downwardly extending drop device 60 in the form of a drop tube is fastened.

Im Betrieb steigt der Mahlgut-Luftstrom im Transportraum B2 nach oben, was durch die Pfeile P1 angedeutet wird. Gleichzeitig wird das Grobgut vom Sichter 100 in der Sichtzone 102 abgewiesen und fällt nach unten auf den Verteilteller 40, was durch die Pfeile P2 angedeutet wird. Zwischen dem Sichter 100 und dem Verteilteller 40 ist eine umlaufende Begrenzungswand 130 angeordnet, die einen Kontakt der Ströme P1 und P2 im oberen Bereich des Transportraums B2 verhindert. Die Begrenzungswand 130, die ortsfest angeordnet ist, ist als Zylinder ausgeführt, dessen Höhe kleiner/gleich dem Abstand zwischen Sichter 100 und Verteilteller 40 entspricht. Der Durchmesser des oberen Randes des Zylinders ist größer als der Durchmesser D2 des Sichters 100. Der Durchmesser des unteren Zylinderrandes ist kleiner/gleich dem Durchmesser Dv des Verteiltellers 40.During operation, the regrind air flow in transport space B2 rises, which is indicated by arrows P1. At the same time, the coarse material is rejected by the classifier 100 in the viewing zone 102 and falls down onto the distribution plate 40, which is indicated by the arrows P2. A circumferential boundary wall 130 is arranged between the classifier 100 and the distribution plate 40, which contacts the currents P1 and P2 in the upper region of the transport space B2 prevented. The boundary wall 130, which is arranged stationary, is designed as a cylinder, the height of which is less than / equal to the distance between the classifier 100 and the distributor plate 40. The diameter of the upper edge of the cylinder is larger than the diameter D 2 of the classifier 100. The diameter of the lower cylinder edge is less than / equal to the diameter Dv of the distributor plate 40.

An dem Mühlengehäuse 20 ist eine Mahlgutversorgung 90 angeordnet, die eine Rutsche 92 aufweist, die sich von einem Bereich außerhalb des Mühlengehäuses 20 bis in das Innere des Mühlengehäuses 20 erstreckt. Ein Mahlgutauslass 94 ist oberhalb des Mahlraums B1 in dem Transportraum B2 angeordnet. Durch die Mahlgutversorgung 90 wird das Material, das gemahlen werden soll, in das Mühlengehäuse eingebracht.A regrind supply 90 is arranged on the mill housing 20 and has a chute 92 which extends from a region outside the mill housing 20 into the interior of the mill housing 20. A regrind outlet 94 is arranged above the grinding chamber B1 in the transport chamber B2. The material to be ground is introduced into the mill housing by the ground material supply 90.

Oberhalb des Sichters 100 ist eine Absaugeinrichtung 112 angeordnet. Die Absaugeinrichtung 112 steht in Verbindung mit dem Innenraum des Sichterrades 110 und erzeugt eine Strömung, die dazu dient, dass das zwischen den Mahlrollen 86 und der Mahlbahn 23 gemahlene Material nach oben aufsteigt. Das Material strömt von dem Mahlraum B1 außerhalb der Begrenzungswandwand 130 durch den Transportraum B2 und in den Sichtraum B3. In dem Sichtraum B3 befindet sich das Material zunächst außerhalb des Leitschaufelkranzes 111 des Sichters 100. Durch die von der Absaugeinrichtung 112 erzeugte Strömung gelangt das Material durch den Leitschaufelkranz 111 in die Sichtzone 102. Durch das Sichterrad 110 wird das Material in Grobgut und Feingut getrennt. Das Feingut gelangt in den Innenraum des Sichterrades 110 und wird von der Absaugeinrichtung 112 aus dem Mühlengehäuse 20 abtransportiert. Das Grobgut wird von dem Sichterrad 110 abgewiesen und fällt - wie bereits beschrieben - auf den Verteilteller 40.A suction device 112 is arranged above the classifier 100. The suction device 112 is connected to the interior of the classifying wheel 110 and generates a flow which serves to cause the material ground between the grinding rollers 86 and the grinding track 23 to rise. The material flows from the grinding chamber B1 outside the boundary wall 130 through the transport chamber B2 and into the viewing chamber B3. In the viewing space B3, the material is initially outside the guide vane ring 111 of the classifier 100. Due to the flow generated by the suction device 112, the material reaches the viewing zone 102 through the guide vane ring 111. The classifying wheel 110 separates the material into coarse and fine material. The fine material enters the interior of the classifying wheel 110 and is removed from the mill housing 20 by the suction device 112. The coarse material is rejected by the classifier wheel 110 and, as already described, falls onto the distribution plate 40.

Die Figur 2 zeigt im wesentlichen die Anordnung der Mahleinrichtung 80 in Kombination mit dem Verteilteller 40 mit dem auf der Oberseite 45 angeordneten Verteilerkegel 42 und den Falleinrichtungen 60 aus der Figur 1. Weitere Teile der Pendelmühle werden aus Darstellungsgründen ausgeblendet.The Figure 2 essentially shows the arrangement of the grinding device 80 in combination with the distributor plate 40 with the distributor cone 42 arranged on the upper side 45 and the drop devices 60 from FIG Figure 1 . Other parts of the pendulum mill are hidden for the sake of illustration.

Der Verteilteller 40 weist drei Fallöffnungen 42 auf, die auf einem Kreis K1 angeordnet sind. Der Mittelpunkt des Kreises K1 liegt in der Drehachse X. Die Fallöffnungen 42 sind auf dem Kreis K1 in gleichmäßigen Winkelabständen um die Achse X herum angeordnet. D bezeichnet die Drehrichtung des Verteiltellers 40. An den Fallöffnungen 42 sind Falleinrichtungen 60 befestigt, die als Fallrohre ausgeführt sind.The distributor plate 40 has three drop openings 42, which are arranged on a circle K 1 . The center of the circle K 1 lies in the axis of rotation X. The drop openings 42 are arranged on the circle K 1 at uniform angular intervals around the axis X. D denotes the direction of rotation of the distribution plate 40. Falling devices 60, which are designed as down pipes, are fastened to the fall openings 42.

In der hier gezeigten Darstellung weist die Pendelmühle 10 drei Fallrohre 60 auf. Entlang einer Umlaufbahn U (Kreis K2) der Fallrohre 60 ist zwischen jeweils zwei Fallrohren 60 jeweils ein Mahlpendel 82 angeordnet. Ebenfalls ist entlang der Umlaufbahn U zwischen jeweils zwei Mahlpendeln 82 jeweils ein Fallrohr 60 angeordnet. Die Fallrohre 60 sind untereinander durch Streben 68 miteinander verbunden. Durch die Streben 68 werden Schwingungen der Fallrohre 60 im Betrieb unterbunden. Unter den Fallrohren 60 sind Schaufeln 24 dargestellt, die über eine Trägerstruktur 28 mit der Antriebswelle 30 verbunden sind und von dieser rotatorisch angetrieben werden. Durch die Schaufeln 24 wird Mahlgut, das sich auf dem Mühlenboden 21 abgelagert hat, in Richtung der Mahlbahn 23 bewegt, um zwischen den Mahlrollen 86 und der Mahlbahn 23 zermahlen zu werden.In the illustration shown here, the pendulum mill 10 has three downpipes 60. A grinding pendulum 82 is arranged between each two downpipes 60 along an orbit U (circle K 2 ) of the downpipes 60. A downpipe 60 is likewise arranged along the orbit U between two grinding pendulums 82 in each case. The downpipes 60 are interconnected by struts 68. Vibrations of the downpipes 60 are prevented during operation by the struts 68. Shovels 24 are shown below the downpipes 60, which are connected to the drive shaft 30 via a support structure 28 and are rotatably driven by the latter. The blades 24 move ground material which has deposited on the mill base 21 in the direction of the grinding path 23 in order to be ground between the grinding rollers 86 and the grinding path 23.

Jeder Schaufel 24 ist somit ein Fallrohr 60 zugeordnet. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die Auslässe 62 der Fallrohre 60 so ausgerichtet, dass das Material aus dem Fallrohr 60 nach dem Austritt aus dem Auslass 62 unmittelbar auf die Schaufel 24 trifft und dadurch sofort der Mahlrolle 86 zugeführt wird.A downpipe 60 is thus assigned to each blade 24. In the present case, the outlets 62 of the downpipes 60 are oriented in such a way that the material from the downpipe 60 directly meets the blade 24 after it has left the outlet 62 and is thus immediately fed to the grinding roller 86.

In der Figur 3 ist die Draufsicht auf den Verteilteller 40 vergrößert dargestellt. Es ist zu sehen, dass die Fallöffnungen 42 auf dem Kreis K1 angeordnet sind. Im Zentrum des Verteiltellers 40 befindet sich der Verteilerkegel 43.In the Figure 3 the top view of the distribution plate 40 is shown enlarged. It can be seen that the drop openings 42 are arranged on the circle K 1 . The distribution cone 43 is located in the center of the distribution plate 40.

In der Figur 4 ist eine Ausführungsform dargestellt, bei der jedes Fallrohr 60 sich an einem unteren Ende 64 verjüngt und dort in einen gekrümmten Abschnitt 61 übergeht.In the Figure 4 An embodiment is shown in which each down pipe 60 tapers at a lower end 64 and merges there into a curved section 61.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform ist in der Figur 5 dargestellt. Die Fallrohre 60 verjüngen sich nicht, weisen aber an einem unteren Ende 64 jeweils einen gekrümmten Abschnitt 61 auf.Another embodiment is in the Figure 5 shown. The downspouts 60 do not taper, but each have a curved section 61 at a lower end 64.

Figur 6 zeigt eine schematische Unteransicht der Mahleinrichtung 80 mit verschiedenen Anordnungen der Fallrohre 60. Jedes Fallrohr 60 weist eine Hochachse H auf. Die Fallöffnungen 42 der Fallrohre 60 sind auf einem Kreis K1 um die Drehachse X angeordnet. Der Kreis K1 weist radiale Richtungen R auf. Von den Radialrichtungen R sind diejenigen dargestellt, die durch die Hochachsen H der Fallrohre 60 verlaufen. Die Fallrohre 60 weisen jeweils eine Auslassrichtung A auf. In der Figur 6 sind alle Auslassrichtungen A horizontal. Die Auslassrichtungen A sind jeweils zu der Radialrichtung R des zugehörigen Fallrohres in einem Winkel γ angeordnet. Bei zwei der dargestellten Fallrohre 60 beträgt der Winkel γ zwischen -30° und +30°, bei den weiteren zwei Fallrohren 60 beträgt der Winkel γ zwischen 70 ° und 110°. Figure 6 shows a schematic bottom view of the grinding device 80 with different arrangements of the downpipes 60. Each downpipe 60 has a vertical axis H. The drop openings 42 of the downpipes 60 are arranged on a circle K 1 around the axis of rotation X. The circle K 1 has radial directions R. Of the radial directions R, those are shown which run through the vertical axes H of the downpipes 60. The downpipes 60 each have an outlet direction A. In the Figure 6 all outlet directions A are horizontal. The outlet directions A are each arranged at an angle γ to the radial direction R of the associated downpipe. In two of the downpipes 60 shown, the angle γ is between -30 ° and + 30 °, in the other two downpipes 60 the angle γ is between 70 ° and 110 °.
