Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rotor of a centrifugal separator, the rotor having a central shaft on which a stack of plates made up of a plurality of identical plates is arranged, the shaft having an engagement contour on its outer circumference for non-rotatable, axially displaceable engagement with a counter-contour on the inner circumference of the plates of the stack of plates, wherein the engagement contour and the counter-contour can be brought into engagement with one another in a plurality of rotational positions spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction, and wherein each plate has spacers spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the plates, each of which separates two adjacent plates at an axial distance, forming an intermediate flow gap with a predeterminable gap dimension keep from each other.
- the invention also relates to a centrifugal separator.
- the document EP 3 124 120 A1 shows an oil separator configured to separate oil mist from a gas.
- the oil separator includes a rotor. This rotor has multiple cutting disks stacked along the axis line of a spindle. Each of the separator disks is in the form of a truncated cone plate member and is formed with concave-convex ribs extending radially from the center of rotation on outer peripheral side parts corresponding to the inclined surfaces of the truncated cone.
- the concavo-convex ribs include first convex portions and second convex portions, the first convex portions on the outer peripheral side parts having a convex shape on the front surface side and a concave shape on the back surface side, and the second convex portions on the outer peripheral side parts include a convex shape on the back and a concave shape on the front. This allows stacks of cutting discs with form a predetermined distance between the individual cutting disks without the need for separate spacers.
- the document US 779 099 A shows a centrifugal separator with a rotor, the rotor having a central shaft on which a stack of plates made up of several identical plates is arranged, the shaft having an engagement contour on its outer circumference for non-rotatable, axially displaceable engagement with a counter-contour on the inner circumference of the plates of the stack of plates having.
- the engagement contour and the counter-contour can be brought into engagement with one another in a plurality of rotational positions spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction.
- the plates are corrugated as seen in the plate peripheral direction, with the corrugations each holding two adjacent plates at an axial distance from one another, with the formation of intermediate flow channels with a definable cross section.
- the corrugated plates are designed in such a way that with different twisted positions of adjacent plates relative to one another in the plate stack, at least two different axial distances with different cross sections of the flow channels between the adjacent plates can be adjusted.
- the plates here have the shape of a truncated cone and the inclined, radially outer part of the plates is designed as a closed surface.
- the inner circumference of the radially inner, flat area of the plates is provided with the counter-contour to the contour of engagement of the central shaft.
- Radially outside of the counter-contour are distributed in the circumferential direction several flow openings through which a gas to be cleaned flows axially during operation of the rotor and from where the gas is then deflected radially outwards into the flow gaps between the adjacent plates.
- An arrangement of spacer webs running over the lower side of the obliquely aligned area of the plates is used here to space the plates from one another.
- the document EP 2 349 578 B1 describes a separator disk adapted to be included in a disk pack of a centrifuge rotor.
- the separator disc has a tapered shape and extends about an axis of rotation and along a tapered rotating symmetrical surface along the axis of rotation.
- the separator plate has an inner surface and an outer surface.
- the separating disc is made of a material, the separating disc being configured in a way that it has a clearance between the separating disc and an adjacent separating disc in the disc pack and thus includes first protrusions extending outwardly from the tapered rotating symmetrical surface, and second projections extending inwardly from the tapered rotating symmetrical surface.
- Each first and second projection defines a contact zone adapted to contact an adjacent separator disk in the disk pack.
- the contact zones of the first projections are offset with respect to the contact zones of the second projections, seen in a direction normal to the outer face.
- the first and second projections are sequentially provided in a peripheral direction of the separator disk. What is important here is that the tapered shape and the projections of the separator disc were provided by pressing a blank of the material against a tool part having a shape corresponding to the tapered shape with the projections of the pressed separator disc.
- the document EP 2 334 439 B1 shows a disk pack for a centrifuge rotor of a centrifugal separator, which is designed for the separation of components in a medium supplied, the disk pack having a multiplicity of separating plates which are present one on top of the other in the plate pack.
- Each separator disc extends about an axis of rotation and has a cone-like shape with an inner surface and an outer surface along the axis of rotation.
- Each separating disk is made from at least one material, with the separating disks in the stack of disks being prestressed against one another with a prestressing force.
- the separating discs have a plurality of first separating discs, each of which has a number of spacer elements.
- Each separating plate has at least one section without spacer elements.
- the first separating discs are polarly positioned in such a way that the spacer elements of one separating disc abut the portion of an adjacent separating disc. It is essential here that the spacer elements have a number of pairs of spacer elements, the pairs each having a first spacer element which extends away from the outer surface and a second spacer element which extends away from the inner surface, the first and second spacers are offset in relation to each other as viewed in a normal direction with respect to the outer surface and sequentially in a peripheral direction of the first separator disc be provided that the prestressing force causes an abutment force between the spacer elements and the adjacent separating disk and an elastic deformation of the section of at least the separating disks, and that this elastic deformation ensures an increase in the abutment force between the spacer elements and the adjacent separating disk during rotation of the disk pack.
- a disadvantage of most of the known rotors and plates described above is that the axial distance between adjacent plates in the stack of plates is fixed at a single value, which is determined by the height of the spacer webs or the first and second projections or the spacer elements on the plates is predetermined. If a different axial distance between adjacent plates in the stack of plates is desired or required, it is necessary to manufacture new plates with spacer webs or first and second projections or spacers of a different, smaller or larger axial height. However, such production is unfavorable and, in particular, uneconomical with regard to the necessary investment in tools and the differentiation of parts when assembling the stack of plates.
- US 779 099 A Although two different disc distances can be set, only relatively narrow flow channels, but no intermediate flow gaps, are provided between the adjacent discs.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to create a rotor of the type mentioned at the outset, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned and in which it is possible in a technically simple and economically favorable manner to use different distances and thus different widths of intermediate flow gaps between the to realize plates in a stack of plates.
- a corresponding centrifugal separator is to be created.
- the solution to the first part of the task relating to the rotor is achieved according to the invention with a rotor of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is characterized in that the spacers of the plates are designed and arranged in such a way that with different rotational positions of adjacent plates relative to one another in the plate stack there are at least two different axial distances with different gap dimensions of the flow gap between the adjacent ones plates are adjustable and that the circumferentially spaced twisted positions, in which the engagement contour and the counter-contour can be brought into engagement with each other, are in two superimposed angular grids that are offset relative to one another in the circumferential direction by an offset angle, with the two angular grids each having a uniform matching grid angular spacing , where the screen angle spacing is an integer fraction of 360° and the offset angle is less than half the screen angle spacing.
- the invention advantageously enables stacks of plates to be created from mutually identical plates with at least two different plate spacings in the plate stack, with the respective plate spacing only depending on the relative twisted position of the adjacent plates. Since only one design of plates is required, the tooling costs are advantageously kept low, which results in good economics in the manufacture of plate stacks and rotors for centrifugal separators. In addition, the axial distance between two immediately adjacent plates can be changed here even with a small angular offset by the aforementioned offset angle.
- each plate has first and second spacers and that the first and second spacers differ in terms of their height and/or their radial position on the plate.
- These spacers are easy to produce and the axial plate spacing can be changed simply by placing two directly adjacent plates on the central shaft, rotated relative to one another by the grid angle spacing or by the offset angle.
- first and second spacers are formed by two different humps or beads formed or stamped into the plates, each forming an elevation on one side of the plate and a depression on the other side of the plate.
- Such spacers can advantageously be produced by simply pressing or embossing, for example.
- the spacers which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the plate, are each designed as individual humps or as a radially running row of a plurality of humps.
- each plate has first and second spacers and that the first and second spacers are formed by webs or nubs that are attached to or formed on the plates and form elevations.
- the webs or knobs forming the first spacers be arranged on the top side of the plate, that the webs or knobs forming the second spacers be arranged on the bottom side of the plate and that the webs or knobs forming the first spacers be arranged relative to the webs or nubs forming the second spacers are offset in the circumferential direction of the plate.
- the axial plate spacing can be easily changed by placing two directly adjacent plates rotated by the screen angle spacing on the central shaft, with the upper and lower side spacers of two directly adjacent plates either meeting and causing a larger axial plate spacing or not meeting and bring about a smaller axial disc distance.
- a further rotor configuration provides that the webs or knobs forming the first spacers are arranged on the top side of the plate, the webs or knobs forming the second spacers are arranged on the underside on the plate, the webs or knobs forming the first spacers on the the webs or knobs forming the second spacer are arranged congruently and that the angular spacing of the spacers spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the plates corresponds to twice the grid angle spacing.
- the axial plate spacing can be easily changed by placing two directly adjacent plates on the central shaft, rotated by the grid angle spacing or the offset angle.
- the webs or knobs forming the first spacers, arranged on the top side of the plate, and the webs or knobs forming the second spacers, arranged on the underside of the plate, are identical to one another.
- the plates within the plate stack of the rotor have a smaller axial distance from one another with a smaller gap in a region of the rotor close to the inflow and a greater axial distance from one another with a larger gap in a region of the rotor remote from the inflow. In this way, in particular, a more uniform distribution of a volume flow of a fluid medium to be treated in the rotor over the plurality of flow gaps can be achieved.
- the engagement contour and the counter-contour should be in two to sixteen, preferably six to twelve, in the circumferential direction of the central shaft and the plate can be brought into engagement with one another in twisted positions spaced apart from one another.
- the number of twisted positions in which the central shaft and the plates can be brought into engagement with one another can also be greater than the aforementioned numbers, in which case the grid angle spacing then becomes correspondingly smaller. This can be expedient, for example, if more than two different axial disc distances are to be adjustable.
- the disks of the rotor are preferably press-stamped parts made from sheet metal or injection-moulded parts made from plastic. Both types of plates mentioned can be produced comparatively easily and inexpensively and can be provided with the necessary spacers, both of which preferably take place in one operation.
- the engagement contour on the outer circumference of the shaft be formed by a number of n teeth running in the longitudinal direction of the shaft and projecting radially outwards and that the counter-contour on the inner circumference of the plates be formed by a number of n or 2 xn to the teeth matching, radially outwardly facing recesses is formed.
- the number n is preferably between 2 and 8, preferably 3 to 6, in order not to make the production of the engaging and counter-contours too complicated.
- the number n also depends on the forces to be absorbed during operation of the rotor and acting in the circumferential direction of the rotor between the plates and the central shaft.
- the centrifugal separator according to the invention is an oil mist separator for the crankcase ventilation gas of an internal combustion engine and can advantageously serve to effectively separate oil mist and oil droplets from the crankcase ventilation gas of the internal combustion engine.
- the discs In a rotor of such a centrifugal separator, the discs have a very small distance from one another, in practice, for example, between about 0.3 and 0.5 mm.
- the plates can then be designed, for example, so that they form a first distance of 0.3 mm between them in a first relative twisted position and a second distance of 0.5 mm between them in a second relative twisted position.
- the plates and their spacers can also be designed in such a way that, in a third rotational position relative to one another, they form a third distance between them, for example of 0.4 mm. In this way, needs-based, different gap dimensions between the mutually identical discs of the rotor can be easily adjusted during rotor production.
- the drawings show a rotor 1 of a centrifugal separator, which is otherwise not shown here, in a first embodiment.
- the rotor 1 has a central shaft 2 on which a stack of plates 3 made up of several identical plates 30 is arranged.
- the plates 30 each have the known shape of a truncated cone shell and can be made of sheet metal or plastic.
- the shaft 2 has an engagement contour 21 on its outer circumference for non-rotatable, axially displaceable engagement with a counter-contour 31 on the inner circumference of the plates 30 of the plate stack 3, the engagement contour 21 here having the shape of a six-pointed star.
- the engagement contour 21 and the counter-contour 31 can be brought into engagement with one another in a plurality of relative rotational positions spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction by a grid angle distance a, here of 60°.
- the plates 30 have spacers 4, 5, which in the stack of plates 3 hold two adjacent plates 30 at a distance from one another, forming the flow gap 34 between them with a predetermined gap dimension.
- each plate 30 has two such different first and second spacers 4, 5 spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the plates 30 that with different rotational positions of adjacent plates 30 relative to one another in the plate stack 3 there are two different distances with different gap dimensions h 1 , h 2 of the flow gap 34 between the adjacent plates 30 can be produced, as can be seen in particular in FIG.
- the two different first and second spacers 4, 5 are formed or stamped here by two different ones in the plates 30, each on one side of the plate, here the underside, an increase and on the other side of the plate, here the upper side, forming a depression, arranged in pairs one behind the other in the radial direction.
- the first spacers 4 and the second spacers 5 are spaced apart from one another by an angular distance ⁇ of 60°.
- This angular distance ⁇ is therefore identical to the grid angle distance ⁇ of the engaging and counter-contours 21, 31.
- the humps forming the first and second spacers 4, 5 differ here both in their height and in their radial position on the plate 30.
- the humps forming the first spacers 4 have a greater axial depth and are located somewhat further outwards as seen in the radial direction.
- the humps forming the second spacers 5 have a smaller axial depth and are located somewhat further inward, viewed in the radial direction, than the humps forming the first spacers 4 .
- the two adjacent Plate 30 has a smaller distance with a gap dimension h 1 of the intermediate flow gap 34.
- the two adjacent plates 30 have a larger one Distance with a gap dimension h 2 of the intermediate flow gap 34.
- the identical plates 30 within the plate stack 3 of the rotor 1 can therefore have different distances from one another with different gap dimensions h 1 , h 2 of the flow gaps 34 .
- This can be used advantageously, for example, to place the plates 30 at a smaller axial distance from one another with a smaller gap dimension h 1 in a region of rotor 1 close to the inflow, and to place the plates 30 at a greater axial distance from one another with a larger gap h 1 in a region of rotor 1 remote from the inflow Arranging the gap dimension h 2 in order to even out the flow through the plate stack 3 .
- the Figures 4 to 7 show the rotor 1 in a second embodiment. What differs from the first embodiment of the rotor 1 is that the humps forming the first and second spacers 4, 5 are smaller and in the form of radially extending rows of humps, each with four humps. In this way, more points of contact are formed between the respectively adjacent plates 30 in the plate stack 3, which benefits its dimensional stability during operation at high speeds.
- the humps forming the first and second spacers 4, 5 differ both in their height and in their radial position on the plate 30.

Als nachteilig wird bei den meisten vorstehend beschriebenen bekannten Rotoren und Tellern dafür angesehen, dass der axiale Abstand zwischen einander benachbarten Tellern im Tellerstapel auf einen einzigen Wert festgelegt ist, welcher durch die Höhe der Abstandshaltestege oder der ersten und zweiten Vorsprünge oder der Distanzelemente an den Tellern vorgegeben ist. Wenn ein anderer axialer Abstand zwischen einander benachbarten Tellern im Tellerstapel gewünscht ist oder benötigt wird, ist die Fertigung von neuen Tellern mit Abstandshaltestegen oder ersten und zweiten Vorsprüngen oder Distanzelementen einer anderen, kleineren oder größeren axialen Höhe erforderlich. Eine solche Fertigung ist aber bezüglich der nötigen Werkzeuginvestitionen und der Teiledifferenzierung bei der Montage der Tellerstapel ungünstig und insbesondere unwirtschaftlich. Bei dem Rotor nach dem Dokument
Für die vorliegende Erfindung stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, einen Rotor der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der die aufgeführten Nachteile vermeidet und bei dem es auf technisch einfache und wirtschaftlich günstige Art und Weise möglich ist, unterschiedliche Abstände und damit unterschiedlich weite zwischenliegende Strömungsspalte zwischen den Tellern im Tellerstapel zu realisieren. Außerdem soll ein entsprechender Zentrifugalabscheider geschaffen werden.The object of the present invention is therefore to create a rotor of the type mentioned at the outset, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned and in which it is possible in a technically simple and economically favorable manner to use different distances and thus different widths of intermediate flow gaps between the to realize plates in a stack of plates. In addition, a corresponding centrifugal separator is to be created.
Die Lösung des ersten, den Rotor betreffenden Teils der Aufgabe gelingt erfindungsgemäß mit einem Rotor der eingangs genannten Art, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Abstandshalter der Teller so ausgebildet und angeordnet sind, dass mit unterschiedlichen Verdrehstellungen einander benachbarter Teller relativ zueinander im Tellerstapel wenigstens zwei unterschiedliche axiale Abstände mit unterschiedlichen Spaltmaßen des Strömungsspalts zwischen den benachbarten Tellern einstellbar sind und dass die in Umfangsrichtung voneinander beabstandeten Verdrehstellungen, in denen die Eingriffskontur und die Gegenkontur in Eingriff miteinander bringbar sind, in zwei einander überlagerten, in Umfangsrichtung gegeneinander um einen Versatzwinkel versetzten Winkelrastern liegen, wobei die beiden Winkelraster jeweils einen gleichmäßigen übereinstimmenden Rasterwinkelabstand aufweisen, wobei der Rasterwinkelabstand einem ganzzahligen Bruchteil von 360° entspricht und wobei der Versatzwinkel kleiner als die Hälfte des Rasterwinkelabstands ist.The solution to the first part of the task relating to the rotor is achieved according to the invention with a rotor of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is characterized in that the spacers of the plates are designed and arranged in such a way that with different rotational positions of adjacent plates relative to one another in the plate stack there are at least two different axial distances with different gap dimensions of the flow gap between the adjacent ones plates are adjustable and that the circumferentially spaced twisted positions, in which the engagement contour and the counter-contour can be brought into engagement with each other, are in two superimposed angular grids that are offset relative to one another in the circumferential direction by an offset angle, with the two angular grids each having a uniform matching grid angular spacing , where the screen angle spacing is an integer fraction of 360° and the offset angle is less than half the screen angle spacing.
Mit der Erfindung wird vorteilhaft das Erstellen von Tellerstapeln aus untereinander identischen Tellern mit dennoch wenigstens zwei unterschiedlichen Tellerabständen im Tellerstapel ermöglicht, wobei der jeweilige Tellerabstand dabei nur von der relativen Verdrehstellung der einander benachbarten Teller abhängt. Da nur eine Ausführung von Tellern benötigt wird, werden die Werkzeugkosten vorteilhaft niedrig gehalten, was eine gute Wirtschaftlichkeit bei der Fertigung von Tellerstapeln und Rotoren für Zentrifugalabscheider ergibt. Außerdem kann hier schon mit einem winkelmäßig kleinen Versatz um den vorgenannten Versatzwinkel zwischen zwei einander unmittelbar benachbarten Tellern deren axialer Abstand verändert werden.The invention advantageously enables stacks of plates to be created from mutually identical plates with at least two different plate spacings in the plate stack, with the respective plate spacing only depending on the relative twisted position of the adjacent plates. Since only one design of plates is required, the tooling costs are advantageously kept low, which results in good economics in the manufacture of plate stacks and rotors for centrifugal separators. In addition, the axial distance between two immediately adjacent plates can be changed here even with a small angular offset by the aforementioned offset angle.
Eine Ausgestaltung des Rotors sieht vor, dass jeder Teller erste und zweite Abstandshalter aufweist und dass sich die ersten und zweiten Abstandshalter durch ihre Höhe und/oder durch ihre radiale Position auf dem Teller unterscheiden. Diese Abstandshalter sind einfach herstellbar und der axiale Tellerabstand lässt sich einfach dadurch verändern, dass ein um den Rasterwinkelabstand oder um den Versatzwinkel relativ zueinander verdrehtes Aufsetzen zweier einander unmittelbar benachbarter Teller auf die zentrale Welle erfolgt.One embodiment of the rotor provides that each plate has first and second spacers and that the first and second spacers differ in terms of their height and/or their radial position on the plate. These spacers are easy to produce and the axial plate spacing can be changed simply by placing two directly adjacent plates on the central shaft, rotated relative to one another by the grid angle spacing or by the offset angle.
Weiter ist dabei bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die ersten und zweiten Abstandshalter durch zwei verschiedene in die Teller eingeformte oder eingeprägte, jeweils auf der einen Tellerseite eine Erhöhung und auf der anderen Tellerseite eine Eintiefung ausbildende Höcker oder Sicken gebildet sind. Solche Abstandshalter lassen sich vorteilhaft beispielsweise durch einfaches Drücken oder Prägen erzeugen.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the first and second spacers are formed by two different humps or beads formed or stamped into the plates, each forming an elevation on one side of the plate and a depression on the other side of the plate. Such spacers can advantageously be produced by simply pressing or embossing, for example.
Dabei ist es weiter möglich, dass die in Umfangsrichtung des Tellers voneinander beabstandeten Abstandhalter jeweils als Einzelhöcker oder als radial verlaufende Reihe aus jeweils mehreren Höckern ausgebildet sind.It is also possible that the spacers, which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the plate, are each designed as individual humps or as a radially running row of a plurality of humps.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltung des Rotors sieht vor, dass jeder Teller erste und zweite Abstandshalter aufweist und dass die ersten und zweiten Abstandshalter durch an den Tellern angebrachte oder angeformte, Erhöhungen ausbildende Stege oder Noppen gebildet sind.A further embodiment of the rotor provides that each plate has first and second spacers and that the first and second spacers are formed by webs or nubs that are attached to or formed on the plates and form elevations.
In diesbezüglicher weiterer Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die die ersten Abstandshalter bildenden Stege oder Noppen oberseitig an dem Teller angeordnet sind, dass die die zweiten Abstandshalter bildenden Stege oder Noppen unterseitig an dem Teller angeordnet sind und dass die die ersten Abstandshalter bildenden Stege oder Noppen relativ zu den die zweiten Abstandshalter bildenden Stegen oder Noppen in Umfangsrichtung des Tellers versetzt sind. Der axiale Tellerabstand lässt sich auch hier einfach dadurch verändern, dass ein um den Rasterwinkelabstand verdrehtes Aufsetzen zweier einander unmittelbar benachbarter Teller auf die zentrale Welle erfolgt, wobei oberseitige und unterseitige Abstandshalter zweier einander unmittelbar benachbarter Teller entweder aufeinandertreffen und einen größeren axialen Tellerabstand bewirken oder nicht aufeinandertreffen und einen kleineren axialen Tellerabstand bewirken.In a further embodiment in this regard, it is proposed that the webs or knobs forming the first spacers be arranged on the top side of the plate, that the webs or knobs forming the second spacers be arranged on the bottom side of the plate and that the webs or knobs forming the first spacers be arranged relative to the webs or nubs forming the second spacers are offset in the circumferential direction of the plate. Here, too, the axial plate spacing can be easily changed by placing two directly adjacent plates rotated by the screen angle spacing on the central shaft, with the upper and lower side spacers of two directly adjacent plates either meeting and causing a larger axial plate spacing or not meeting and bring about a smaller axial disc distance.
Eine weitere Rotorausgestaltung sieht vor, dass die die ersten Abstandshalter bildenden Stege oder Noppen oberseitig an dem Teller angeordnet sind, dass die die zweiten Abstandshalter bildenden Stege oder Noppen unterseitig an dem Teller angeordnet sind, dass die die ersten Abstandshalter bildenden Stege oder Noppen zu den die zweiten Abstandshalter bildenden Stegen oder Noppen deckungsgleich angeordnet sind und dass der Winkelabstand der in Umfangsrichtung der Teller voneinander beabstandeten Abstandshalter dem doppelten Rasterwinkelabstand entspricht. Auch bei dieser Rotorausführung lässt sich der axiale Tellerabstand einfach dadurch verändern, dass ein um den Rasterwinkelabstand oder den Versatzwinkel verdrehtes Aufsetzen zweier einander unmittelbar benachbarter Teller auf die zentrale Welle erfolgt.A further rotor configuration provides that the webs or knobs forming the first spacers are arranged on the top side of the plate, the webs or knobs forming the second spacers are arranged on the underside on the plate, the webs or knobs forming the first spacers on the the webs or knobs forming the second spacer are arranged congruently and that the angular spacing of the spacers spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the plates corresponds to twice the grid angle spacing. In this rotor design, too, the axial plate spacing can be easily changed by placing two directly adjacent plates on the central shaft, rotated by the grid angle spacing or the offset angle.
Um die Fertigung der Teller einfach zu halten, ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die die ersten Abstandshalter bildenden, oberseitig an dem Teller angeordneten Stege oder Noppen und die die zweiten Abstandshalter bildenden, unterseitig an dem Teller angeordneten Stege oder Noppen untereinander identisch sind.In order to keep the production of the plates simple, it is preferably provided that the webs or knobs forming the first spacers, arranged on the top side of the plate, and the webs or knobs forming the second spacers, arranged on the underside of the plate, are identical to one another.
Mit der Erfindung sind unterschiedliche Rotoren einfach herstellbar. Dabei ist es einerseits möglich, dass innerhalb des Tellerstapels einer ersten Rotorausführung alle Teller einen ersten, kleineren axialen Abstand voneinander mit einem kleineren Spaltmaß aufweisen und dass innerhalb des Tellerstapels einer zweiten Rotorausführung mit zu der ersten Rotorausführung identischen Tellern alle Teller einen zweiten, größeren axialen Abstand voneinander mit einem größeren Spaltmaß aufweisen.Different rotors are easy to produce with the invention. On the one hand, it is possible for all plates within the plate stack of a first rotor design to have a first, smaller axial distance from one another with a smaller gap, and for all plates within the plate stack of a second rotor design with plates that are identical to the first rotor design to have a second, larger axial distance from each other with a larger gap.
Alternativ dazu besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Teller innerhalb des Tellerstapels des Rotors unterschiedliche axiale Abstände aufweisen.As an alternative to this, there is the possibility that the plates within the plate stack of the rotor have different axial distances.
Dabei ist bevorzugt weiter vorgesehen, dass die Teller innerhalb des Tellerstapels des Rotors in einem zuströmungsnahen Bereich des Rotors einen kleineren axialen Abstand voneinander mit einem kleineren Spaltmaß und in einem zuströmungsfernen Bereich des Rotors einen größeren axialen Abstand voneinander mit einem größeren Spaltmaß aufweisen. Hiermit kann insbesondere eine gleichmäßigere Aufteilung eines Volumenstroms eines im Rotor zu behandelnden fluiden Mediums auf die Vielzahl der Strömungsspalte erreicht werden.It is preferably further provided that the plates within the plate stack of the rotor have a smaller axial distance from one another with a smaller gap in a region of the rotor close to the inflow and a greater axial distance from one another with a larger gap in a region of the rotor remote from the inflow. In this way, in particular, a more uniform distribution of a volume flow of a fluid medium to be treated in the rotor over the plurality of flow gaps can be achieved.
Um die Fertigung der einzelnen Teller und des Tellerstapels sowie der zentralen Welle des Rotors hinsichtlich deren Eingriffs- und Gegenkonturen praktikabel zu halten, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Eingriffskontur und die Gegenkontur in zwei bis sechzehn, vorzugsweise sechs bis zwölf, in Umfangsrichtung der zentralen Welle und der Teller voneinander beabstandeten Verdrehstellungen in Eingriff miteinander bringbar sind.In order to keep the production of the individual plates and the plate stack as well as the central shaft of the rotor practicable with regard to their engagement and counter-contours, it is proposed that the engagement contour and the counter-contour should be in two to sixteen, preferably six to twelve, in the circumferential direction of the central shaft and the plate can be brought into engagement with one another in twisted positions spaced apart from one another.
Bei Bedarf kann die Zahl der Verdrehstellungen, in denen die zentrale Welle und die Teller in Eingriff miteinander bringbar sind, auch größer als die vorgenannten Zahlen sein, wobei dann der Rasterwinkelabstand entsprechend kleiner wird. Dies kann beispielsweise dann zweckmäßig sein, wenn mehr als zwei unterschiedliche axiale Tellerabstände einstellbar sein sollen.If required, the number of twisted positions in which the central shaft and the plates can be brought into engagement with one another can also be greater than the aforementioned numbers, in which case the grid angle spacing then becomes correspondingly smaller. This can be expedient, for example, if more than two different axial disc distances are to be adjustable.
Die Teller des Rotors sind bevorzugt Drückstanzteile aus Metallblech oder Spritzgussteile aus Kunststoff. Beide genannten Arten von Tellern sind vergleichsweise einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar und mit den nötigen Abstandshaltern versehbar, wobei beides vorzugsweise in einem Arbeitsgang erfolgt.The disks of the rotor are preferably press-stamped parts made from sheet metal or injection-moulded parts made from plastic. Both types of plates mentioned can be produced comparatively easily and inexpensively and can be provided with the necessary spacers, both of which preferably take place in one operation.
Unabhängig von der Ausführung der Abstandshalter wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Eingriffskontur am Außenumfang der Welle durch eine Anzahl von n in Längsrichtung der Welle verlaufenden, nach radial außen vorragenden Zähnen gebildet ist und dass die Gegenkontur am Innenumfang der Teller durch eine Anzahl von n oder 2 x n zu den Zähnen passenden, radial nach außen hin weisenden Ausnehmungen gebildet ist.Regardless of the design of the spacers, it is proposed that the engagement contour on the outer circumference of the shaft be formed by a number of n teeth running in the longitudinal direction of the shaft and projecting radially outwards and that the counter-contour on the inner circumference of the plates be formed by a number of n or 2 xn to the teeth matching, radially outwardly facing recesses is formed.
Dabei beträgt vorzugsweise die Anzahl n zwischen 2 und 8, vorzugsweise 3 bis 6, um die Fertigung der Eingriffs- und Gegenkonturen nicht zu kompliziert werden zu lassen. Die Anzahl n richtet sich auch nach den im Betrieb des Rotors aufzunehmenden, in Umfangsrichtung des Rotors zwischen den Tellern und der zentralen Welle wirkenden Kräften.In this case, the number n is preferably between 2 and 8, preferably 3 to 6, in order not to make the production of the engaging and counter-contours too complicated. The number n also depends on the forces to be absorbed during operation of the rotor and acting in the circumferential direction of the rotor between the plates and the central shaft.
Die Lösung des zweiten, den Zentrifugalabscheider betreffenden Teils der Aufgabe gelingt erfindungsgemäß mit einem Zentrifugalabscheider, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass er einen Rotor nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 15 aufweist. Bei einem solchen Zentrifugalabscheider werden die vorstehend schon im Zusammenhang mit dem Rotor erläuterten Vorteile erreicht.The solution to the second part of the task relating to the centrifugal separator is achieved according to the invention with a centrifugal separator which is characterized in that it has a rotor according to one of
In einer bevorzugten Verwendung ist der erfindungsgemäße Zentrifugalabscheider ein Ölnebelabscheider für das Kurbelgehäuseentlüftungsgas einer Brennkraftmaschine und kann dabei vorteilhaft zum wirksamen Abscheiden von Ölnebel und Öltröpfchen aus dem Kurbelgehäuseentlüftungsgas der Brennkraftmaschine dienen. In einem Rotor eines solchen Zentrifugalabscheiders haben die Teller einen sehr geringen Abstand zueinander, in der Praxis beispielsweise zwischen etwa 0,3 und 0,5 mm. Für diese Anwendung können dann die Teller beispielsweise so ausgeführt sein, dass sie in einer ersten relativen Verdrehstellung zueinander zwischen sich einen ersten Abstand von 0,3 mm und in einer zweiten relativen Verdrehstellung zueinander zwischen sich einen zweiten Abstand von 0,5 mm ausbilden. Die Teller und deren Abstandshalter können auch so ausgeführt sein, dass sie in einer dritten relativen Verdrehstellung zueinander zwischen sich einen dritten Abstand, z.B. von 0,4 mm, ausbilden. Auf diese Weise lassen sich bei der Rotorfertigung bedarfsgerechte, unterschiedliche Spaltmaße zwischen den untereinander identischen Tellern des Rotors einfach einstellen.In a preferred application, the centrifugal separator according to the invention is an oil mist separator for the crankcase ventilation gas of an internal combustion engine and can advantageously serve to effectively separate oil mist and oil droplets from the crankcase ventilation gas of the internal combustion engine. In a rotor of such a centrifugal separator, the discs have a very small distance from one another, in practice, for example, between about 0.3 and 0.5 mm. For this application, the plates can then be designed, for example, so that they form a first distance of 0.3 mm between them in a first relative twisted position and a second distance of 0.5 mm between them in a second relative twisted position. The plates and their spacers can also be designed in such a way that, in a third rotational position relative to one another, they form a third distance between them, for example of 0.4 mm. In this way, needs-based, different gap dimensions between the mutually identical discs of the rotor can be easily adjusted during rotor production.

Die Welle 2 weist an ihrem Außenumfang eine Eingriffskontur 21 für einen verdrehfesten, axial verschieblichen Eingriff mit einer Gegenkontur 31 am Innenumfang der Teller 30 des Tellerstapels 3 auf, wobei die Eingriffskontur 21 hier die Form eines sechszackigen Sterns hat.

Die Besonderheit der Teller 30 des Tellerstapels 3 ist, dass jeder Teller 30 zwei derart unterschiedliche, in Umfangsrichtung der Teller 30 voneinander beabstandete erste und zweite Abstandshalter 4, 5 aufweist, dass mit unterschiedlichen Verdrehstellungen benachbarter Teller 30 relativ zueinander im Tellerstapel 3 zwei unterschiedliche Abstände mit unterschiedlichen Spaltmaßen h1, h2 des Strömungsspalts 34 zwischen den benachbarten Tellern 30 herstellbar sind, wie insbesondere in Figur 3 sichtbar ist.The special feature of the

Somit können die Abstandshalter 4, 5 zweier einander im Tellerstapel 3 benachbarter Teller 30 entweder zueinander deckungsgleich positioniert werden, um einen axialen Abstand der beiden Teller 30 mit einem größeren Spaltmaß h2 zwischen ihnen herzustellen, oder in zwei verschiedenen Abständen voneinander in Umfangsrichtung jeweils in Nicht-Deckung zueinander positioniert werden, um einen axialen Abstand der beiden Teller 30 mit einem kleineren Spaltmaß h1 zwischen ihnen herzustellen.Thus, the
Bei Wahl des kleinen Spaltmaßes h1 liegen die in Umfangsrichtung einander benachbarten Abstandshalter 4, 5 zweier einander im Tellerstapel 3 axial benachbarter Teller 30 nur um den Versatzwinkel δ, im gezeigten Beispiel also um 15°, auseinander. Alternativ können die in Umfangsrichtung benachbarten Abstandshalter 4, 5 zweier einander im Tellerstapel 3 axial benachbarter Teller 30 auch um den Rasterwinkelabstand a, hier 60°, oder um einen Winkel α - δ, also hier 45°, voneinander beabstandet positioniert werden.
