Definitions

  • the invention relates to a screening star for a screening device for screening material to be screened.
  • the invention also relates to a screening device with a plurality of shafts which are rotatably arranged next to one another and on which the screen stars according to the invention are arranged axially next to one another in such a way that the screen stars of adjacent shafts engage in one another in the manner of a comb.
  • the material to be screened can be bulk material, in particular mixtures containing soil, such as field crops covered with soil, compost, bark mulch, peat and the like or, for example, building rubble.
  • Star screens and screening devices are from EP 1 088 599 B1 and the EP 2 666 549 B1 known. These screening devices and screening stars have proven themselves for screening the materials to be screened. With screening devices of this type, however, cohesive components of the material to be screened, such as loamy and moist soil, first settle on the backs and in the foot areas of the sickle-shaped fingers and, starting from these spaces, also cover the facing, lateral faces of the screening stars. The so-called disc formation occurs. The screening effect suffers as a result, and the drive power to be applied increases. The electric drive draws more power. Eventually, the screening device may become clogged and the drive may switch off due to overload.
  • the DE 195 00 022 A1 discloses a screening device for screening bulk materials that are difficult to screen.
  • the screening device consists of several parallel, driven shafts on which non-rotatable screen star disks with elastically flexible fingers are arranged.
  • Two of the mirror-symmetrical, truncated cone-like screen star disks are joined together at their two large truncated cone bases and thereby form a screen star, so that several screen stars are arranged next to one another on each screen shaft in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • star wheels for star wheel rollers of conveyor or trend devices.
  • the star wheels which are essentially made of plastic have star-shaped protruding fingers on one hub part. Furthermore, the star wheels, at least in the area of the fingers, are provided with shaped structures which are predetermined by weight and load-optimized effective parameters.
  • the US 5,975,441A discloses an apparatus for separating stones from stony material, such as earthen material.
  • the device comprises a number of spiked rollers, each of which has a number of detachable spikes.
  • the detachable spikes are staggered with respect to the spikes of an adjacent spiked roller so that as the spiked roller rotates, each spike can rotate through the gap between two spikes of the adjacent spiked roller and smaller rocks can fall through the gap between the spikes.
  • An agricultural separator with star shafts, each having a plurality of resilient star wheels is in DE 697 01 393 T2 disclosed. Rings made of resilient material are fitted between the star wheels of the star shafts, which ensure better deformability to facilitate the self-cleaning of the star shaft.
  • the subject matter of the invention is a screen star for a screening device, which comprises a hub for arranging the screen star on or on a rotatable shaft and a plurality of elastically flexible fingers, which protrude radially outwards from the hub and are distributed in the circumferential direction about an axis of rotation of the screen star.
  • the respective finger extends radially and also in the circumferential direction, for example in the shape of a sickle, up to a free end trailing in the direction of rotation.
  • the fingers can be made of rubber or, in particular, an elastomeric plastic such as a polyurethane (PU) plastic.
  • the rubber or polymer can contain reinforcement particles, for example reinforcement fibers or also larger reinforcement structures, and in principle also other particles to achieve certain material properties.
  • the sieve star is an assembly unit, ie it can be assembled as a unit. Hub and fingers are molded together as a unit, ie not joined from several parts.
  • the fingers each taper from the foot area in the direction of the free end and in circular-cylindrical sections concentric to the axis of rotation in the circumferential direction on at least one face.
  • the fingers taper on both end faces in the longitudinal direction of the fingers.
  • the fingers taper on both end faces in relation to a central cross-sectional plane of the sieve star, i.e. the end faces of the fingers taper at least in sections, preferably over the majority of their length and particularly preferably from the foot area to the respective free end, i.e. over the entire length of the respective finger, are inclined to the central cross-sectional plane.
  • a taper in the circumferential direction can in principle only be realized on one end face of the sieve star, but in preferred embodiments the fingers taper in the circumferential direction on both end faces.
  • a two-sided taper in the longitudinal direction of the respective finger causes the meshing star screens of adjacent shafts to no longer form pairs of screen gaps with axially facing, parallel end faces, which promotes disc formation in conventional screening devices.
  • the neighboring screen stars which each form a lateral screen gap with each other, only come closest to each other via the lateral screen gap along a line or a narrow strip and no longer over the entire surface.
  • the space laterally between the axially adjacent screen stars widens from a narrowest, linear or at most strip-shaped screen gap in the circumferential direction.
  • the axial, i. H. Pressing forces exerted laterally on the material to be screened decrease from the linear screen gap in the circumferential direction of the screen stars. Cohesive or other components of the material to be screened are no longer rubbed or ground to a large extent on the mutually facing end faces of the screen stars.
  • a tapering in the circumferential direction on at least one end face has the result that the meshing star screens of adjacent shafts come closest to each other in the area of their axially facing end faces only linearly or in the area of a narrow strip, but no longer over the entire surface. This applies when the fingers each have only one taper in the circumferential direction.
  • the fingers are tapered both in the longitudinal direction of the fingers and in the circumferential direction there are only punctiform constrictions, ie the space laterally between the axially adjacent sieve stars widens from one or possibly two punctiform constrictions in the circumferential direction.
  • the fingers When tapering along the fingers, the fingers are designed in such a way that they progressively taper radially outwards in the longitudinal direction of the fingers on both end faces of the sieve star.
  • the adhesion of cohesive material to be screened is thus counteracted on both end faces, for example also when a sieve star which is tapered according to the invention interacts with a simple disk-shaped sieve star on one or optionally also on both end faces.
  • the fingers taper, starting from their foot regions, in the longitudinal direction of the fingers in each longitudinal section of the finger. In modifications, however, they can also taper only in a circular ring extending around the axis of rotation in the longitudinal direction of the fingers, then preferably starting directly from the foot area and/or up to an enveloping circle of the sieve star.
  • the fingers which according to the invention taper in circular-cylindrical cuts concentric to the axis of rotation in a circumferential direction on at least one end face, can taper in the circumferential direction on both end faces of the sieve star.
  • the fingers can be tapered in the direction of the front and/or in the direction of the back of the respective finger.
  • a taper in the circumferential direction can be realized over the entire length of the respective finger, ie in all circular-cylindrical sections of the fingers.
  • the tapering in the circumferential direction can also be realized only in a radially outer end region encompassing the free end or only in the foot region.
  • the fingers can be tapered in the circumferential direction from the front to the back of the respective finger or at least over the majority of their circumferential extent measured in the respective section.
  • the taper in the longitudinal direction of the fingers and/or the taper in the circumferential direction can be in relation to an axially central cross-sectional plane of the sieve star basically be designed asymmetrically, but the tapering along the fingers and/or the tapering against the direction of rotation preferably takes place symmetrically to the central cross-sectional plane.
  • the fingers taper in the longitudinal direction of the fingers with a constant angle of inclination to a radial cross-sectional plane, in preferred embodiments over the entire extension of the fingers. Accordingly, the end faces each form a conical surface in the tapering area. Accordingly, the lateral screening gaps, i.e. the lateral narrow points, of a screening device equipped with screening stars that are conical on both sides are straight.
  • the angle of inclination can also vary in other variants along the fingers.
  • the angle of inclination measured on a radial cross-sectional plane can increase on one or advantageously on both end faces in the longitudinal direction of the respective finger towards the free end, so that the fingers are convex in shape on the end face in question.
  • the angle of inclination can decrease outwards on one or advantageously on both end faces in the longitudinal direction of the respective finger, so that the fingers are concavely shaped on the end face in question.
  • sieve stars with a convex end face on both sides and sieve stars with a concave end face on both sides can mesh in an axially alternating sequence.
  • first shafts can have, for example, star screens each with convex end faces and second shafts can have star screens each with concave end faces, and the first shafts and the second shafts can be arranged alternately next to one another.
  • the lateral sieve gaps are no longer straight in such a sieve device, so that elongate, slender particles to be sieved can fall through the lateral sieve gaps more or less only in the direction of their longitudinal extension.
  • the fingers of the sieve star each have a front surface pointing in the direction of rotation on their front side and a rear surface pointing against the direction of rotation on their back side Surface, a left face, a right face, and front and rear transitions.
  • the front transitions namely a left transition and a right transition, connect the two end faces with the front surface.
  • the rear transitions namely a left transition and a right transition, connect the two front surfaces with the rear surface.
  • the front transitions and/or the rear transitions are each curved at a radius of curvature of at least 1.5 mm or at least 2 mm.
  • the transitions are usually edge-shaped, each with a significantly smaller radius of curvature of less than 1 mm.
  • Softly rounded transitions for example, also counteract the adhesion of cohesive screenings components.
  • Softly rounded rear transitions are particularly advantageous, since the adhesion of material to be screened usually begins on the rear surfaces of the fingers and from there progresses radially outwards and also axially to the sides. Edged, almost right-angled transitions favor the formation of discs, whereas the screenings in the area of the softly rounded transitions are more likely to be carried away by the neighboring sieve star.
  • the fingers can each have a convex shape on their front side pointing in the direction of rotation and/or on their back side pointing counter to the direction of rotation with respect to the axial direction, for example roundly bulging outwards with respect to the axial direction or be arrow-shaped.
  • the two flat sides running towards one another in the shape of an arrow advantageously merge into one another in the axially central surface area with a radius of curvature of at least 1.5 mm or at least 2 mm.
  • each of the two ideas according to the invention counteracts the adhesion of screening material components on at least one end face. Also the embodiment with softly rounded front and/or rear transitions counteracts the adhesion of screenings components, in particular in combination with the two ideas according to the invention.
  • the fingers do not taper off at their free ends, but instead have an end width B E measured axially of more than 5 mm or more than 7 mm.
  • the end width B E is preferably in the range of 15 ⁇ 10 mm.
  • the fingers can have an axially measured foot width B F of more than 12 mm or more than 15 mm.
  • a foot width B F in the range of 26 ⁇ 14 mm is preferred.
  • the ratio of foot width to end width, B F /B E can be 1.5 or greater, for example, but is at most 2.5 or preferably less in advantageous embodiments.
  • the gap width of the lateral screen gaps can be determined in particular by an axial overhang of the hub over the foot area of the fingers.
  • the hub can have a collar running around the axis of rotation, which protrudes over the finger foot area by the axial overhang.
  • a collar is expediently present on both end faces.
  • the overhang of the respective collar is more than 0.5 mm or at least 1 mm; the overhang is preferably selected from the range of 7 ⁇ 6 mm or 7 ⁇ 3 mm.
  • the fingers each have a rotationally-facing front surface, an anti-rotationally-facing rear surface, an outer left face, an outer right face, front transitions connecting the front surfaces to the front surface, and rear transitions, connecting the end surfaces to the rear surface, the front transitions and/or the rear transitions each being curved at a radius of curvature of at least 1.5 mm or at least 2 mm.
  • the fingers taper over at least a predominant part of their length, measured from the foot area to the free end, on both end faces in a continuously differentiable manner.
  • the fingers can each taper in the direction of the free ends in an axial view of an end face of the screen star.
  • the fingers can progressively taper outwards on both end faces of the screen star in the radial direction.

  • the fingers can progressively taper outwards on both end faces of the sieve star in the direction of the free end of the respective finger without kinks.
  • the fingers on both end faces of the sieve star taper conically progressively outwards in the direction of the free end of the respective finger with a constant angle of inclination.

  • the fingers in circular-cylindrical sections concentric to the axis of rotation can each have a front side pointing in the direction of rotation, a rear side pointing counter to the direction of rotation, a left-hand end face and a right-hand end face, the end faces in the circular-cylindrical sections converging in the shape of arrows.
  • the fingers are elongated in a circular or elliptical shape in circular-cylindrical sections concentric to the axis of rotation.

  • figure 9 shows a portion of a screening device with the known from the prior art screening stars 1 with fingers 5b and screening stars 1 with fingers 5c modified again.
  • the screen stars 1 with the fingers 5b are on a shaft 20 axially next to each other arranged, and the screen stars 1 with the fingers 5c are arranged on an adjacent shaft 20 axially side by side.
  • the sieve stars with the fingers 5c only one sieve star 1 is shown as representative of the others.
  • the screening stars 1 engage with the fingers 5c like a comb in the screening stars 1 with the fingers 5b of the neighboring shaft.
  • the fingers 5c are in finger longitudinal direction L ( figure 1 ) at a varying tilt angle ⁇ ( figure 3 ) tapers in such a way that the sieve stars 1 are curved inwards in the area of the fingers 5c on both end faces, whereby the relevant sieve star 1 in the area of the fingers 5c tapers concavely in the direction of the free end 7 of the respective finger 5c.
  • the fingers 5c are flattened as in the first embodiment.
  • You can average BB ( figure 1 ) correspond to the fingers 5a.
  • figure 10 shows examples of modified fingers 5d to 5g, each of which differs in terms of the cross-sectional shape in the circular-cylindrical sections BB concentric to the axis of rotation D.
  • the fingers 5d to 5g are in the direction of the free end of the respective finger, ie in the longitudinal direction of the finger L ( figure 1 ), tapered and can correspond to the fingers 5a or the fingers 5b or the fingers 5c with respect to the taper in the longitudinal direction L in particular and replace the respective type of finger within a screening device.
  • the finger 5d has the shape of a rectangle in section B-B. It differs from the finger 5a of the first exemplary embodiment only in that the front surface 10 and the rear surface 11 are also straight in the respective section B-B.
  • the finger 5e corresponds to the finger 5a of the first exemplary embodiment in the area of the front surface 10 and the two end faces 12 and 13, but is convex in the shape of an arrow on the rear surface 11 in contrast thereto.
  • the finger 5f has two parallel faces 12 and 13, an arrow-shaped convex front surface 10 and an arrow-shaped convex rear surface 11 in section B-B.
  • the finger 5g has parallel end faces 12 and 13 over about half of its circumferential extent, a rear surface 11 orthogonal thereto and straight in section B-B and a front surface 10 semi-oval, for example circular or elliptical, in section B-B.
  • a sieve star 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • the screening star 1 differs from the screening star 1 known from the prior art with regard to the shape of the circular-cylindrical cross-section BB concentric to the axis of rotation D and otherwise corresponds to the first exemplary embodiment.
  • the fingers of the sieve star 1 are designated as fingers 5h to distinguish them from the fingers of the exemplary embodiments explained above.
  • a cleaning finger as in the first exemplary embodiment, is not shown. This is due to the fact that the cleaning element 9 ( figure 1 ) is attached only after the forming of the screen star 1 forming plastic body and figure 11 shows the sieve star 1 before the cleaning element 9 is attached.
  • the fingers 5h taper from the foot area 6 in the direction of the free end 7, i.e. in the longitudinal direction L of the fingers, like the fingers 5a of the first exemplary embodiment. Unlike the fingers 5a, however, the fingers 5h also taper over at least the majority of their circumferential extension measured in the circumferential direction T.
  • figure 12 shows the in figure 11 registered cut BB.
  • the circumferential direction T coincides with the direction of rotation of the sieve star 1 and is in figure 12 also registered.
  • the fingers 5b have the shape of a trapezium, in which the front surface 10 pointing in the direction of rotation forms the long base and the rear surface 11 pointing against the direction of rotation forms the short base.
  • the fingers 5h taper in the circumferential direction T, in the fourth exemplary embodiment counter to the direction of rotation T, on both end faces symmetrically, so that the trapezoidal shape is obtained in section BB.
  • the front surface 10, the rear surface 11 and the two end faces 12 and 13 are each straight in section BB.
  • transitions 14 and 15 extend over comparatively large radii of curvature into each other.
  • the end faces 12 and 13 each enclose an acute angle 2 ⁇ in the sections BB, the bisector of which is the central cross-sectional plane Q.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ relative to the radial section plane Q is at least 4° or at least 5°.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ is preferably at most 15° or at most 10°.
  • the sieve star 1 of the fourth exemplary embodiment can also be convex in accordance with the second exemplary embodiment or tapered concavely in accordance with the third exemplary embodiment in relation to the taper in the finger longitudinal direction L.
  • FIG 15 shows examples of further modified fingers 5i to 5m, each of which differs in terms of the cross-sectional shape in the circular-cylindrical sections BB concentric to the axis of rotation D.
  • the fingers 5i to 5m are in the direction of the free end of the respective finger, ie in the longitudinal direction L ( figures 1 and 11 ), tapered and can correspond to the fingers 5a or 5h or instead to the fingers 5b or the fingers 5c in relation to the taper in the longitudinal direction L and can replace the respective type of finger within a screening device. They differ from the fingers 5a and 5d to 5g in that they taper in the circumferential direction T over at least the majority of their circumferential extent, corresponding to the finger 5h.
  • the finger 5i is derived from the finger 5h of the fourth exemplary embodiment and differs from it in that the front surface 10 and the rear surface 11 are each convexly curved over the entire width of the finger 5d.
  • the finger 5j is triangular in section B-B, with the "point" of the triangle trailing in the direction of rotation T.
  • the finger 5k has, in section B-B, an arrow-shaped front surface 10, an axially extending rear surface 11 and two straight end faces 12 and 13 which taper towards one another at an acute angle against the direction of rotation T.
  • the finger 51 is diamond-shaped in section B-B with two end faces 12 and 13, which run from a circumferentially central, wide area in the direction of rotation T to the front surface 10, which is only designed as a "tip”, and also counter to the direction of rotation T to the also only as "Pointed" trained rear surface 11 run.
  • the finger 51 is as a result in both circumferential directions, i. H. in the direction of rotation T and against the direction of rotation T, tapered in the shape of an arrow.
  • the finger 5m is oval in section B-B, e.g. elliptical, with the extent in the circumferential direction T greater than the axial extent, i. H. larger than the width.
  • the oval shape for example an elliptical shape, is favorable in view of the wear that occurs during operation and also because of the constriction that forms in the lateral screen gap in a punctiform manner for reducing the adhesion of cohesive screenings components.
  • the transitions between the surfaces 10 to 13 are each represented as edges. In preferred embodiments, however, these fingers are also softly rounded at the relevant transitions with a radius of curvature of at least 1.5 mm or, preferably, at least 2 mm.
  • figure 16 shows meshing star screens 1 of the first exemplary embodiment in a relative rotational position to one another, in which just one finger 5a of one sieve star 1 is in maximum overlap with a finger 5a of the other sieve star 1. Due to the taper at least essentially in the longitudinal direction L of the fingers 5a is formed between the two overlapping fingers 5a a linear constriction E L . The lateral screen gap existing between the momentarily overlapping fingers 5a widens upwards and downwards, starting from the constriction E L . This design of the screen gaps counteracts the adhesion of cohesive screened material components and thus the so-called disc formation. This reduces the drive power required to operate the screening device.
  • FIGs 17 and 18 show two meshing star screen 1 of the fourth embodiment.
  • the cooperating screen stars 1 just take a rotational position in which a finger 5h of a screen star 1 has a slight overlap with one of the fingers 5h of the other screen star 1.
  • E P punctiform constriction
  • the sieve stars 1 continue to rotate, the overlap increases.
  • Two punctiform constrictions form E P , which, starting from the state of the initial overlap, migrate in the direction of the two free ends of the overlapping fingers 5h. This turning state is in figure 18 shown. If the relevant fingers 5h dip even further into the overlap, the axial width ( figure 6 ) of the lateral screen gap existing between these two fingers 5h. Due to the double taper and the resulting punctiform bottlenecks E P , the adhesion of cohesive screenings components and thus the formation of discs is counteracted even more effectively.
