Screening system with vibration-node-arranged vibration systems

The invention relates to a sieve system for sieving screenings, in particular for sieving mineral rocks, comprising a sieve box comprising two outer side walls, wherein at least two vibration systems for vibrational excitation are arranged on the two side walls and wherein the two side walls each have at least two nodes according to a vibration Bending mode, further comprising at least two trusses that connect the two side walls together, and also having at least one screen deck, which rests on the at least two trusses. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for screening screenings, in particular for sieving of mineral rock, by means of an aforementioned screening system.

A screening system of the type mentioned is for example from the patent

DE 44 17 162 C1. This patent discloses a method and apparatus for adjusting the vibration behavior of a vibratory conveyor with two electric motor driven, counterbalancing unbalance drives, the position of the imbalance masses is adjustable to one another.

The aforementioned screening system has the advantage that any desired oscillation angle can be varied steplessly during operation and a once desired oscillation angle can be maintained without the conveyed material influencing this oscillation angle.

This is achieved by providing two separate electric motor driven unbalance drives and each unbalance drive associated sensor units for determining the real-time angular positions of the imbalance masses and an electronic control system for influencing the current and / or the frequency of the drive motors of the unbalanced drives.

However, in order to increase the throughput of the screen, it is generally known that the screen system as a whole must be enlarged. This means in the first place that a more massive sieve is used. However, in order to stimulate the more solid sieve with consistent quality, the vibration drives must be increased. The larger vibration drives lead to a significantly greater vibration load, which acts on the side walls and the trusses. Thus, because of the increased mass and vibration loads also reinforce the side walls and trusses. As a result, increased screen throughput in a prior art screen system always requires more massive screen components, which are more expensive than the smaller screen components, are harder to mount, and require more space.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a screening system of the type mentioned, the dimensioning of the vibration systems has a smaller impact on the dimensioning of the trusses and side walls as in screening systems of the prior art, wherein the screen system can also produce cheaper and in the Application should be energy efficient.

The object is achieved in that the respective two vibration systems are arranged on the respective side wall such that each vibration system is arranged in the region of a vibration node of the respective side wall.

A freely oscillating body, in the present case a side wall, has a plurality of eigenmodes with associated natural frequencies. The first bending mode is also called the basic form. The nodes of vibration represent the positions of the structure which are not deflected by the eigenmode. Higher self-modes with increased frequency can occur, with the natural frequencies being much higher. A eigenmode can only be excited if the excitation frequency is close to the natural frequency and is not initiated in the vibration node. The natural frequencies depend on the stiffness and the mass of the body, or the side wall. A lower stiffness reduces the natural frequency. The height of the sidewalls takes into account the stiffness, whereby it has to be taken into account that a vertical elevation with otherwise the same geometry increases the rigidity and thus also the natural frequency. This is the reason why the conventional way of increasing the stiffness of a sidewall is to increase the vertical height of the respective sidewall. In science, the nodes are also known as Bessel points. In the present case, the nodes of vibration fall on Bessel points which, with regard to moment, inclination and deflection, represent optimum bearing positions of a uniformly loaded carrier, or in the present case a cross member, at two bearing points.

According to a preferred embodiment of the screen system, the respective two vibration systems are arranged on the respective side wall such that each vibration system is arranged in the region of a vibration node of the first bending mode of the respective side wall. As already described, a eigenmode can only be excited if the excitation frequency is not initiated in the vibration node. It therefore corresponds to the doctrine of the invention, the components of the screen system, in particular the trusses and the side walls, not to have to dimension considerably larger, if directly the formation of the first eigenmode is prevented. Since the vibration systems are thus arranged in the region of the vibration nodes, it follows that the exciting frequency of the vibration systems is not introduced into the side walls in a bending-forming manner. The further a vibration system is removed from a vibration node of a side wall, the more the excitation frequency of the vibration system intervenes in the side wall forming a bending mode. It is therefore particularly preferred that at least one, preferably each vibration system is arranged directly overlapping the respective vibration node. However, an arrangement of at least one, preferably each vibration system in the region of the vibration nodes is also possible. By the words "at least one" and "at least one" is meant a numerical minimum number.

The formulation range here preferably describes a maximum radius from the center of the vibration node whose magnitude is less than or equal to 20%, preferably less than or equal to 10%, particularly preferably 0%, of the maximum main extension length of the respective sidewall, wherein the magnitude of the range is a maximum radius from the center of the vibration node is in particular antiproportional to the maximum main extension length of the respective side wall. By specifying the anti-proportionality, it is meant that as the amount of the maximum main extension length of the respective side wall increases, the amount of the maximum radius from the center of the vibration node decreases. In this case, provision is made in particular for the main extension length of the respective side wall to extend along the conveying direction of the screened material.

The conveying direction is the direction of movement of the material to be screened along the sieve deck.

In order to further improve the sieving result, it can be provided according to preferred embodiments that the sieve box has at least two, preferably three, vertically stacked sieve decks.

However, the sieve box should preferably have at most six sieve decks arranged vertically one above the other. It turned out that a number of more than six Sieve decks in the present screen system in relation to the cost of materials has led to an insufficient screening result.

Particularly preferably, the vertically stacked screening decks are arranged parallel to one another.

Multiple use of screening decks is less expensive according to the teaching of the invention compared to conventional screening systems, since in conventional screening systems the need for a considerably more massive design of the side walls per screen deck has increased considerably. In contrast, the component load in the screening system according to the invention is significantly reduced, so that the side walls need not be made significantly more massive with each additional screen deck.

In order to be able to coordinate the vibration systems particularly well, it is provided that the side walls are arranged parallel to one another.

In order to reduce the use of material, it may alternatively be provided that the side walls are arranged tapering towards one another, that is, tapering towards one another. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the two side walls may be arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another to a vertical mirror plane which extends along a conveying direction. Vertical means perpendicular to the horizon. According to this embodiment, the vibration systems can be particularly well coordinated with each other. Furthermore, the components of the screen system are as evenly as possible and therefore as far as possible gently loaded.

Preferably, an embodiment is designed such that each vibration system consists of two or more unbalance drives. Particularly preferably, each vibration system consists of three or more unbalance drives. In particular, each vibration system may consist of four or more unbalance drives. As the number of unbalance drives per vibration system increases, the vibration angle of the screen material can be set more precisely.

The oscillation angle is the angle to the sieve deck, which the screenings are thrown by the excitation by means of the vibration systems. To set the oscillation angle, it is provided in particular that each imbalance drive has a sensor unit for determining a real-time angular position of the imbalance mass. It is particularly preferred for this purpose that the screen has a control system which is connected to the unbalance drives to adjust phase offsets of the unbalance drives. Thus, an electronic control of designed as unbalance drives vibration systems. More precisely, the synchronization is preferably carried out actively by means of a frequency converter control.

The reduced load on the side walls also allows all trusses are the same design. This leads to significantly reduced costs, because the trusses can be produced, transported and assembled with the same system. In addition, it is even possible because of the reduced load that all trusses have a hollow profile. This in turn reduces the weight load on the sidewalls of the trusses.

Particularly preferred all trusses can be tubes. The need for different trusses, in particular the need for particularly solid crossbars in the sidewall area with maximum amplitudes of conventional bending modes, is eliminated, since the bending modes can now as far as possible not engage in the sieve system.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for screening of screenings, in particular for sieving of mineral rock, by means of a screening system according to at least one of the preceding features, wherein the method is characterized by the following method steps: starting the designed as imbalance vibration systems, then setting a swing angle for Screen material via a control system, for which a phase offset of each vibration system is set electronically, as needed adapting the vibration angle for screenings on the control system, for which purpose the phase offset of each vibration system is electronically adjusted. As a result, both linear, circular and elliptical shapes of the oscillatory movements of the screen box can be realized. Depending on the screenings or the changing nature of the screenings, for example due to rain-related moisture, it has been found that it is advantageous if the shapes of the oscillating movements can be changed. This can result in positive energy savings and better screening results. Further embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the following description of an embodiment and the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a side wall (31 or 32) of a sieve box (2) of a sieve system (1) according to the prior art for sieving of mineral rock in a side view. On the illustrated side wall (31 or 32), two vibration systems (4) are arranged for vibrational excitation.

Furthermore, the illustrated side wall (31 or 32) includes trusses (5), wherein upper trusses (5) each have a round profile and a lower crossbar (5) have a quadrangular profile. The different profiles are provided for reasons of stability, with preference being given to more solid trusses (5) for reasons of cost and weight. The trusses (5) connect the two side walls (31, 32) with each other. In addition, a screen deck (6) is mounted on the trusses (5). Sifted mineral rock falls vertically down through recesses of the screen deck (6). Mineral rock which is larger than the recesses of the screen deck (6) is moved by the excitation of the vibration systems (4) via the screen deck (6) along a conveying direction (F).

2, 3 and 4 show an embodiment according to the invention of a sieve system (1) for sieving mineral rock, whereby this sieve system (1) is opposite to the sieve system. 1 (1) according to FIG. 1, in particular in the arrangement of vibration systems (4).

The sieve system (1) according to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 has a sieve box (2) which comprises two outer side walls (31, 32). The side walls (31, 32) are in particular mirror-symmetrical, so that they do not differ significantly. In the present case, the side walls (31, 32) are arranged parallel to one another. In particular, the two side walls (31, 32) to a vertical mirror plane extending along a conveying direction (F) are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 partially only partially illustrated, the two side walls (31, 32) each have two nodes of vibration (S) of a first bending mode.

The two side walls (31, 32) are connected to one another via a multiplicity of traverses (5). In the present case, all trusses (5) are the same, namely as tubes with a hollow profile.

Furthermore, it can be seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 that a screening deck (6) rests on the trusses (5). Sifted mineral rock falls vertically downwards through recesses of the sieve deck (6). Mineral rock that is larger than the recesses of the screen deck (6) is moved by the excitation of the vibration systems (4) on the screen deck (6) along the conveying direction (F).

On the two side walls (31, 32) are each arranged two vibration systems (4) for vibration excitation, each vibration system (4) consists of two unbalance drives.

Furthermore, it is shown that the respective two vibration systems (4) are arranged on the respective side wall (31, 32) such that each vibration system (4) overlaps a vibration node (S) of the respective side wall (31, 32). More precisely, the respective two vibration systems (4) are arranged on the respective side wall (31, 32) such that each vibration system (4) is arranged in the region of a vibration node (S) of the first bending mode of the respective side wall (31, 32). The formulation area here preferably describes a maximum radius from the center of the vibration node (S) whose amount is less than or equal to 20%, preferably less than or equal to 10%, particularly preferably 0%, of the maximum main extension length of respective side wall (31 or 32), wherein the amount of the region is a maximum radius from the center of the vibration node (S) in particular anti-proportional to the maximum main extension length of the respective side wall (31 or 32). Particularly preferably, the unbalance drives of each vibration system (4) are arranged such that each vibration node (S) is positioned between the unbalance drives.

Further preferred, but not visible in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, each unbalance drive has an imbalance mass (8). Furthermore, not recognizable, each unbalance drive has a sensor unit (7) for determining a real-time angular position of the imbalance mass (8).

In particular, the screen (1) has a control system, not shown here, which is connected to the unbalance drives in order to set phase offsets of the unbalance drives. 5 and 6 show in a schematic side view, the side wall (31 or 32) of the screening system (1) according to the invention with illustrated vibration node (S) of the first bending mode, wherein FIG. 6 is a simplified view of FIG. The bending modes are shown simplified by lines. By arranging the vibration systems (4) designed as imbalance drives in the area of the vibration nodes (S), the oscillation acting on the side walls (31, 32) can be considerably reduced, so that the side walls (31, 32) can be made structurally less solid, whereby Significant material and thus cost savings result.

In general, it can be stated that the side view of the screening system according to the prior art according to FIG. 1 corresponds analogously to the side view of the screening system according to the teaching of the invention according to FIG. 5, wherein FIG. 1 shows no bending modes.
