Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hohlrotor nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a hollow rotor according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 196 23 730 A1 ist ein gattungsgemäßer Hohlrotor bekannt, bei dem außen am Rotormantel Werkzeughalter angeordnet sind, in denen jeweils ein Schneidwerkzeug formschlüssig festlegbar ist. Die Ausgestaltung als Mehrkant-Hohlrotor kombiniert vorteilhaft das geringe Gewicht des Rotors mit der Möglichkeit, das Schneidwerkzeug einfach und präzise zu positionieren.From the DE 196 23 730 A1 a generic hollow rotor is known in which tool holders are arranged on the outside of the rotor jacket, in each of which a cutting tool can be positively fixed. The configuration as a polygonal hollow rotor advantageously combines the low weight of the rotor with the possibility of positioning the cutting tool simply and precisely.

Ein weiteres Beispiel des Mehrkant-Hohlrotors ist in GB 1258574 offenbart.Another example of the polygonal hollow rotor is in GB1258574 disclosed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Hohlrotor dahingehend zu verbessern, dass dieser mit einem möglichst hohen Maß an Präzision und dabei möglichst wirtschaftlich herstellbar ist.The invention is based on the object of improving a generic hollow rotor in such a way that it can be produced with the highest possible degree of precision and at the same time as economically as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Hohlrotor nach Anspruch eins gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a hollow rotor according to claim one. Advantageous developments are described in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung schlägt mit anderen Worten vor, die Komponenten des Hohlrotors in Art eines Stecksystems miteinander zu verbinden. Hierzu weist die Mantelfläche schmale Öffnungen auf, die als Montageschlitze bezeichnet werden, weil sie zur Montage des Hohlrotors dienen. Vorschlagsgemäß bestehen die Stützwände, ähnlich wie die Blechabschnitte der polygonalen Mantelfläche, ebenfalls aus Blechen, so dass die Breite der Montageschlitze beispielsweise eng toleriert an die Materialstärke der Stützwände angepasst sein kann. Die Stützwände tragen die Blechzuschnitte der Mantelfläche, so dass die Mantelfläche der äußeren umlaufenden schmalen Kante einer Stützwand anliegt.In other words, the invention proposes connecting the components of the hollow rotor to one another in the manner of a plug-in system. For this purpose, the lateral surface has narrow openings, which are referred to as assembly slots because they are used to assemble the hollow rotor. According to the proposal, the supporting walls, like the sheet metal sections of the polygonal lateral surface, are also made of sheet metal, so that the width of the assembly slots can be adapted to the material thickness of the supporting walls with narrow tolerances, for example. The retaining walls carry the Sheet metal blanks of the lateral surface so that the lateral surface is in contact with the outer peripheral narrow edge of a support wall.

Die Stützwand weist radial nach außen ragende Montagelaschen auf, die sich in die Montageschlitze der Mantelfläche erstrecken. Auf diese Weise ist eine festgelegte Ausrichtung der Stützwände in der Mantelfläche sichergestellt. Fehler durch z.B. eine leicht schräg stehende Positionierung der Stützwände sind ausgeschlossen. Die dauerhafte Festlegung der zunächst positionsgenau ineinander gesteckten Bauelemente des Hohlrotors erfolgt durch eine Verschweißung der Blechbauteile. Dabei ist vorteilhaft, dass die Stützwände, die sich im Inneren der Mantelfläche befinden, problemlos von außen zugänglich sind, so dass deren Montagelaschen, die in die Montageschlitze ragen, mit dem jeweiligen, den Montageschlitz aufweisenden Blechzuschnitt der Mantelfläche verschweißt werden können.The support wall has mounting lugs which protrude radially outwards and which extend into the mounting slots of the lateral surface. In this way, a fixed alignment of the support walls in the lateral surface is ensured. Errors caused by e.g. positioning the supporting walls at a slight angle are excluded. The permanent fixing of the components of the hollow rotor, which are initially precisely positioned one into the other, is achieved by welding the sheet metal components. It is advantageous that the support walls, which are located inside the lateral surface, are easily accessible from the outside, so that their assembly tabs, which protrude into the assembly slots, can be welded to the respective sheet metal blank of the lateral surface that has the assembly slot.

Aufgrund der präzise vorgegebenen und zwangsläufig genauso präzise eingehaltenen Zuordnung der einzelnen Bauteile zueinander wird ein hohes Maß an mechanischer Stabilität des Hohlzylinders gewährleistet. Einflüsse, die ansonsten möglicherweise aufgrund einer auftretenden Unwucht auf den Hohlrotor einwirken würden, werden minimiert und können praktisch ausgeschlossen werden. Aufgrund der hohen mechanischen Stabilität kann der Hohlzylinder aus Blechen mit vergleichsweise geringer Materialstärke gefertigt werden. Dies vereinfacht den Transport vom Herstellungsort zum Einsatzort, reduziert die Herstellungskosten sowie die erforderliche Antriebsleistung und damit den Energiebedarf einer den Hohlrotor aufweisenden Maschine.A high degree of mechanical stability of the hollow cylinder is ensured on account of the assignment of the individual components to one another, which is precisely specified and inevitably adhered to just as precisely. Influences that would otherwise possibly act on the hollow rotor due to an imbalance occurring are minimized and can be practically ruled out. Due to the high mechanical stability, the hollow cylinder can be made of sheet metal with a comparatively small material thickness. This simplifies transport from the place of manufacture to the place of use, reduces the manufacturing costs and the required drive power and thus the energy requirement of a machine having the hollow rotor.

Die Verschweißung der Stützwände mit der Mantelfläche erfolgt für innen liegende Stützwände ausschließlich im Bereich von deren Montagelaschen, so dass abgesehen von deren problemloser Zugänglichkeit auch die Länge der herzustellenden Schweißnähte im Vergleich zu einer Vollverschweißung reduziert werden kann, was die Wirtschaftlichkeit bei der Herstellung des vorschlagsgemäßen Hohlrotors positiv beeinflusst. Die beiden äußeren Stützwände hingegen, die als Stirnwände des Hohlrotors bezeichnet werden, können vorteilhaft entlang ihres gesamten äußeren Umfangs mit der Mantelfläche verschweißt werden, um dem Hohlrotor ein möglichst hohes Maß an mechanischer Stabilität zu vermitteln. Zudem sind diese Stirnwände problemlos von außen erreichbar, so dass die Erzeugung der Schweißnaht problemlos und in dementsprechend kurzer Zeit möglich ist.The welding of the retaining walls to the lateral surface takes place for internal retaining walls exclusively in the area of their mounting brackets, so that apart from their easy accessibility, the length of the weld seams to be produced is reduced in comparison to a full weld can be, which has a positive effect on the economy in the manufacture of the proposed hollow rotor. The two outer support walls, however, which are referred to as end walls of the hollow rotor, can advantageously be welded to the lateral surface along their entire outer circumference in order to give the hollow rotor the highest possible degree of mechanical stability. In addition, these end walls can be reached from the outside without any problems, so that the weld seam can be produced without any problems and in a correspondingly short time.

Das Steckprinzip unter Verwendung von Montageschlitzen und Montagelaschen kann auch verwendet werden, um die Stützwände auch bei geringer Blechstärke möglichst biegesteif auszugestalten. Zu diesem Zweck kann eine Stützwand mit Versteifungsrippen versehen sein. Die Stützwand weist dabei die Montageschlitze auf, und die Versteifungsrippe, die beispielsweise rechtwinklig zur Fläche der Stützwand verläuft, weist die dazu komplementären Montagelaschen auf. Die Verschweißung mit der Stützwand kann entweder auf den Bereich der Montagelaschen der Versteifungsrippe begrenzt sein, oder sie kann über die gesamte Länge der Versteifungsrippe erfolgen. Die Montage und Verschweißung der Versteifungsrippen an der Stützwand kann in Art einer Vorfertigung erfolgen, während die zur Verschweißung vorgesehenen Stellen problemlos zugänglich sind, bevor die Stützwand mit der Mantelfläche verbunden wird.The plug-in principle using assembly slots and assembly lugs can also be used to design the supporting walls as rigid as possible, even with a small sheet thickness. For this purpose, a supporting wall can be provided with stiffening ribs. The support wall has the assembly slots, and the stiffening rib, which runs, for example, at right angles to the surface of the support wall, has the assembly tabs complementary thereto. Welding to the bulkhead can either be limited to the area of the mounting tabs of the rib or it can be made along the entire length of the rib. The assembly and welding of the stiffening ribs on the supporting wall can take place in the form of prefabrication, while the locations intended for welding are easily accessible before the supporting wall is connected to the lateral surface.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, die einzelnen ebenen Blechabschnitte der polygonalen Mantelfläche durch jeweils eigene Bleche zu schaffen. Die Anzahl der erforderlichen Schweißnähte, die zum Verbinden der Blechabschnitte der Mantelfläche erforderlich sind, kann vorteilhaft reduziert und der Zeitaufwand für die Herstellung der Mantelfläche dementsprechend verringert werden, wenn jeweils zwei benachbarte ebene Blechabschnitte gemeinsam von einem einzigen Blech gebildet sind, wobei dieses Blech entsprechend der polygonalen Ausgestaltung der Mantelfläche gekantet ist, um zwei winklig zueinander stehende Blechabschnitte zu bilden.Provision can be made for the individual flat sheet metal sections of the polygonal lateral surface to be created using separate sheets. The number of weld seams required to connect the sheet metal sections of the lateral surface can advantageously be reduced and the time required for producing the lateral surface can be correspondingly reduced if two adjacent flat sheet metal sections are formed together by a single sheet, with this sheet corresponding to the polygonal design of the lateral surface folded to form two sheet metal sections angled relative to each other.

Dabei kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, einen Blechzuschnitt nur einfach und nicht etwa mehrfach zu kanten, so dass tatsächlich nur zwei winklig zueinander stehende Blechabschnitte geschaffen werden und nicht etwa drei oder vier. Auch wenn durch die Schaffung von mehr als zwei Blechabschnitten die Anzahl der erforderlichen Schweißnähte noch weiter reduziert werden könnte, ergibt sich durch die Beschränkung auf zwei Blechabschnitte in einem gemeinsamen Blech eine größere Fehlertoleranz bei der Montage der Bleche zur Schaffung der Mantelfläche, so dass letztlich die Herstellung des Hohlrotors dadurch vereinfacht wird.Advantageously, it can be provided that a sheet metal blank is bent only once and not several times, so that actually only two sheet metal sections standing at an angle to one another are created and not three or four. Even if the number of required weld seams could be further reduced by creating more than two sheet metal sections, the restriction to two sheet metal sections in a common sheet results in greater error tolerance when assembling the sheets to create the lateral surface, so that ultimately the Production of the hollow rotor is thereby simplified.

Der Hohlrotor wird zur Behandlung von Material verwendet. Beispielsweise ist aus der DE 20 2017 101 443 U1 ein Friktionswäscher bekannt, der im Inneren eines Gehäuses einen Hohlrotor aufweist. Zur mechanischen Beaufschlagung des zu behandelnden Materials ist der Hohlrotor außen mit einer Vielzahl von Werkzeugen bestückt, die als Paddel bezeichnet sind, und die einerseits zur Durchmischung eines Materialbetts dienen und andererseits auch mechanisch auf das Material einwirken, um es beispielsweise durch Reibung von anhaftenden Verunreinigungen zu befreien. Abgesehen von derartigen Paddeln bzw. Mischflügeln können die Werkzeuge auch zur Zerkleinerung des zu bearbeitenden Materials dienen und hierzu als Schneidmesser, Fräswerkzeuge ausgestaltet sein, oder sie können als Schlagkörper bzw. Brechkörper ausgestaltet sein, die entweder feststehend an der Mantelfläche des Hohlrotors befestigt sind, oder die als bewegliche Schlegel auf das Material einwirken. Die Werkzeuge ragen jeweils vom Umfang der Mantelfläche aus radial nach außen.The hollow rotor is used to treat material. For example, from the DE 20 2017 101 443 U1 a friction washer is known, which has a hollow rotor inside a housing. For the mechanical loading of the material to be treated, the hollow rotor is equipped on the outside with a large number of tools, which are referred to as paddles, and which on the one hand serve to mix a material bed and on the other hand also act mechanically on the material in order to remove adhering impurities, for example by friction to free. Apart from such paddles or mixing blades, the tools can also be used to comminute the material to be processed and for this purpose can be designed as cutting knives, milling tools, or they can be designed as impact bodies or crushing bodies, which are either permanently attached to the lateral surface of the hollow rotor, or which act as moving flails on the material. The tools each protrude radially outwards from the circumference of the lateral surface.

Eine vorteilhafte Art, die Werkzeuge an der Mantelfläche zu montieren, besteht darin, dass auch in diesem Fall das vorschlagsgemäß Anwendung findende Stecksystem zum Einsatz kommt. Die Mantelfläche kann daher Halteschlitze aufweisen, in welche sich Haltelaschen des jeweiligen Werkzeugs erstrecken. Auf diese Weise kann die Anordnung der Werkzeuge auf der Mantelfläche konstruktiv vorgegeben werden und es ist sichergestellt, dass bei der Fertigung des Hohlrotors diese Anordnung auch zuverlässig mit hoher Präzision eingehalten wird. Die Befestigung der Werkzeuge erfolgt dadurch, dass entlang der Kontaktlinien, wo das Werkzeug die Mantelfläche berührt, eine Verschweißung erfolgen kann.An advantageous way of mounting the tools on the lateral surface is that the plug-in system used according to the proposal is also used in this case comes. The lateral surface can therefore have holding slots into which the holding tabs of the respective tool extend. In this way, the arrangement of the tools on the lateral surface can be specified structurally and it is ensured that this arrangement is also reliably adhered to with high precision during manufacture of the hollow rotor. The tools are fastened by welding along the contact lines where the tool touches the lateral surface.

Da das Werkzeug über eine Verschweißung dauerhaft mit der Mantelfläche des Hohlrotors verbunden ist, kann ein Werkzeugverschleiß vorteilhaft auf ein auswechselbares Verschleißelement des Werkzeugs begrenzt werden. Ein solches Verschleißelement ist am Werkzeug in der Art befestigt, dass es zerstörungsfrei von dem Werkzeug gelöst werden kann. Hierzu sind dem Fachmann mehrere Möglichkeiten bekannt, beispielsweise eine Verschraubung, ein selbstsichernder Formschluss, eine Verrastung, ein selbstsichernder Klemmsitz oder dergleichen. Als selbstsichernd wird in diesem Zusammenhang eine Befestigung des Verschleißelements am Werkzeug bezeichnet, die ein Lösen des Verschleißelement aufgrund der im Betrieb auftretenden Fliehkräfte sowie aufgrund der im Kontakt mit dem zu bearbeitenden Material einwirkenden Kräfte verhindert.Since the tool is permanently connected to the lateral surface of the hollow rotor by welding, tool wear can advantageously be limited to a replaceable wear element of the tool. Such a wear element is attached to the tool in such a way that it can be detached from the tool in a non-destructive manner. To this end, a person skilled in the art is familiar with a number of options, for example a screw connection, a self-locking form fit, a catch, a self-locking press fit or the like. In this context, a fastening of the wear element on the tool is referred to as self-locking, which prevents the wear element from becoming detached due to the centrifugal forces occurring during operation and due to the forces acting in contact with the material to be machined.

Vorteilhaft können die Bleche, die als Blechabschnitt der Mantelfläche, als Stützwand bzw. deren Versteifungsrippe, und / oder als Werkzeug bzw. als dessen Verschleißelement verwendet werden, als lasergeschnittene Bleche ausgestaltet sein. Hierdurch wird wirtschaftlich vorteilhaft eine nachbearbeitungsfreie Ausgestaltung der jeweiligen Bleche ermöglicht, und konstruktiv vorteilhaft können die Bleche mit einer hervorragenden Maßgenauigkeit und Wiederholgenauigkeit hergestellt werden, so dass das erwähnte Stecksystem mit geringem Spiel der einzelnen Bauteile zueinander erzeugt werden kann. Hierdurch werden Fehlstellungen, beispielsweise leichte Verkantungen oder Schrägstellungen benachbarter Bauteile zueinander, minimiert und die mechanische Stabilität des Hohlrotors wird verbessert.The metal sheets that are used as a sheet metal section of the lateral surface, as a supporting wall or its stiffening rib, and/or as a tool or as its wearing element can advantageously be designed as laser-cut metal sheets. This enables the respective metal sheets to be configured without post-processing, which is economically advantageous, and the metal sheets can be produced with excellent dimensional accuracy and repeatability, which is advantageous in terms of construction, so that the plug-in system mentioned can be produced with little play between the individual components. As a result, misalignments, such as slight canting or Inclinations of adjacent components to one another are minimized and the mechanical stability of the hollow rotor is improved.

Vorteilhaft kann die Mantelfläche mehrere freie Durchtrittsöffnungen aufweisen. Im Unterschied zu den Montageschlitzen, die zur Aufnahme von Montagelaschen der Stützwände vorgesehen sind, und im Unterschied zu den Halteschlitzen, die zur Aufnahme von Haltelaschen der Werkzeuge vorgesehen sind, werden die freien Durchtrittsöffnungen nicht ausgefüllt, sondern dienen zur Durchströmung der Mantelfläche in radialer Richtung. Je nach Einsatzzweck des Hohlrotors kann daher eine Siebwirkung vorgesehen sein, so dass nur Partikel einer bestimmten Größe die Mantelfläche passieren können. Möglicherweise sind in einem solchen Anwendungsfall auf der Mantelfläche keine Werkzeuge angeordnet. Oder es kann ein Fluid vom Inneren des Hohlrotors durch die freien Durchtrittsöffnungen nach außen strömen, wo sich das zu behandelnde Material befindet, und wo ggf. auch Werkzeuge wie Mischflügel oder dergleichen angeordnet sind, um mittels des Fluids beispielsweise eine Reinigung des Materials zu unterstützen, oder um eine mechanische Traktion des Materials mittels der Werkzeuge durch einen chemischen Aufschluss des Materials mittels des fluide zu ergänzen.Advantageously, the lateral surface can have a plurality of free passage openings. In contrast to the assembly slots, which are intended to accommodate assembly lugs of the support walls, and in contrast to the retaining slots, which are intended to accommodate retaining lugs of the tools, the free through-openings are not filled, but are used for flow through the lateral surface in the radial direction. Depending on the intended use of the hollow rotor, a sieve effect can therefore be provided so that only particles of a certain size can pass through the lateral surface. In such an application, it is possible that no tools are arranged on the lateral surface. Or a fluid can flow from the interior of the hollow rotor through the free passage openings to the outside, where the material to be treated is located, and where tools such as mixing blades or the like are possibly also arranged in order to use the fluid, for example, to support cleaning of the material, or to supplement a mechanical traction of the material by means of the tools with a chemical breakdown of the material by means of the fluid.

In den Fig. 1 und 6 ist ein Hohlrotor 1 dargestellt, der eine polygonale Mantelfläche 2 aufweist, welche von insgesamt sechs Stützwänden 3 gestützt wird. Eine der Stützwände 3 ist als vordere Stirnwand in Fig. 1 ersichtlich. Weiterhin weist der Hohlrotor 1 eine Vielzahl von Werkzeugen 4 auf, die auf seiner Mantelfläche 2 angeordnet sind und sich von dieser radial nach außen erstrecken. Die Werkzeuge 4 weisen jeweils einen annähernd U-förmigen Querschnitt auf und tragen jeweils ein Verschleißelement 5 in Form einer rechteckigen Verschleißplatte, die mit dem Werkzeug 4 verschraubt ist. Versteifungsrippen 6 verlaufen vom mittleren Bereich der Stützwand 3 nach außen bis zur Mantelfläche 2.In the 1 and 6 a hollow rotor 1 is shown which has a polygonal lateral surface 2 which is supported by a total of six support walls 3 . One of the support walls 3 is designed as a front end wall in 1 evident. Furthermore, the hollow rotor 1 has a multiplicity of tools 4 which are arranged on its lateral surface 2 and extend radially outwards from this. The tools 4 each have an approximately U-shaped cross section and each carry a wear element 5 in the form of a rectangular wear plate which is screwed to the tool 4 . Stiffening ribs 6 run outwards from the central area of the support wall 3 to the lateral surface 2.

Dabei zeigen die Fig. 1 und 6, dass die Versteifungsrippen 6 nicht exakt radial von der Mittelachse des Hohlrotors 1 nach außen, sondern vielmehr schräg zur Mittelachse versetzt verlaufen. Sie dienen nicht nur zur mechanischen Stabilisierung der Stützwände 3, sondern auch als Räumleisten, die entsprechend der Drehrichtung des Hohlrotors 1 Material radial nach außen fördern, welches innerhalb eines Maschinengehäuses in einen Spalt geraten ist, der sich jeweils zwischen einem axialen Ende des Hohlrotors 1 und dem Maschinengehäuse befindet.The show 1 and 6 that the stiffening ribs 6 do not run exactly radially outwards from the central axis of the hollow rotor 1, but rather offset at an angle to the central axis. They serve not only to mechanically stabilize the support walls 3, but also as clearing strips which, in accordance with the direction of rotation of the hollow rotor 1, convey material radially outwards which has gotten into a gap within a machine housing, which is between an axial end of the hollow rotor 1 and located on the machine housing.

Fig. 2 zeigt den Hohlrotor 1 vor seiner Fertigstellung, noch ohne die Werkzeuge 4 und die Versteifungsrippen 6. Es ist ersichtlich, dass die Mantelfläche 2 mit einer Vielzahl von Löchern versehen ist, die als Montageschlitze 7 und als Halteschlitze 8 bezeichnet werden und unterschiedlich ausgestaltet sind. Jeweils mehrere Montageschlitze 7 erstrecken sich in einer ringförmigen Linie über den Umfang der Mantelfläche 2, während die Halteschlitze 8 jeweils achsparallel in Längsrichtung der Mantelfläche 2 auf einer geraden Linie angeordnet sind. Zudem sind die Montageschlitze 7 länger ausgestaltet als die Halteschlitze 8.in der vorderen Stirnwand, nämlich der einzigen in Fig. 2 ersichtlichen Stützwand 3, sind ebenfalls Montageschlitze 7 angeordnet, die zur Aufnahme von Montagelaschen der Versteifungsrippen 6 dienen, und die sich hinsichtlich Form und Anordnung von den Montageschlitzen 7 der Mantelfläche 2 unterscheiden. 2 shows the hollow rotor 1 before its completion, still without the tools 4 and the stiffening ribs 6. It can be seen that the lateral surface 2 is provided with a large number of holes, which are referred to as assembly slots 7 and holding slots 8 and are designed differently. Each several mounting slots 7 extend in an annular line over the circumference of the lateral surface 2, while the retaining slots 8 are each arranged axially parallel in the longitudinal direction of the lateral surface 2 on a straight line. In addition, the mounting slots 7 are designed longer than the retaining slots 8 in the front end wall, namely the only one in 2 Visible supporting wall 3, mounting slots 7 are also arranged, which serve to accommodate mounting tabs of the stiffening ribs 6, and which differ from the mounting slots 7 of the lateral surface 2 in terms of shape and arrangement.

Da in Fig. 2 der Hohlrotor 1 vor seiner endgültigen Fertigstellung dargestellt ist, ist an seinem hinteren, in Fig. 2 rechts dargestellten Ende, auch ein umlaufender Kragen nicht erkennbar, der in Fig. 1 als Kragen 9 erkennbar ist. Aus Fig. 6 ist erkennbar, dass der Kragen 9 als radial äußerer Bereich der Stützwand 3 ausgestaltet ist, die sich an diesem axialen Ende des Hohlrotors 1 befindet. Das Material, welches mithilfe des Hohlrotors 1 bearbeitet wird, strömt an dem Hohlrotor 1 in einer axialen Strömungsrichtung entlang, wobei es aufgrund der Drehbewegung des Hohlrotors auch in Umfangsrichtung des Hohlrotors mitgenommen wird und so insgesamt innerhalb des bereits erwähnten Maschinengehäuses einen wendelförmigen Weg zurückgelegt. Der Materialeinlass ist dabei nahe dem in Fig. 1 links dargestellten Ende des Hohlrotors 1 vorgesehen. Dementsprechend befindet sich der Materialauslass in dem Maschinengehäuse in der Nähe des in Fig. 1 rechts dargestellten Endes des Hohlrotors. Der Kragen 9 dient dazu, den Materialstrom von der Oberfläche des Hohlrotors 1 um etwa 90° radial nach außen umzulenken und zu dem Materialauslass des Maschinengehäuses zu führen.there in 2 the hollow rotor 1 is shown before its final completion is at its rear, in 2 end shown on the right, also a surrounding collar not recognizable, which in 1 as a collar 9 is recognizable. Out of 6 it can be seen that the collar 9 is designed as a radially outer area of the support wall 3 which is located at this axial end of the hollow rotor 1 . The material, which is processed with the help of the hollow rotor 1, flows along the hollow rotor 1 in an axial flow direction, whereby it is also carried along in the circumferential direction of the hollow rotor due to the rotary movement of the hollow rotor and thus covers a helical path overall within the already mentioned machine housing. The material inlet is close to the in 1 end of the hollow rotor 1 shown on the left is provided. Accordingly, the material outlet is located in the machine body near the in 1 end of the hollow rotor shown on the right. The collar 9 is used to deflect the material flow from the surface of the hollow rotor 1 by about 90° radially outwards and to lead it to the material outlet of the machine housing.

Fig. 3 zeigt einen rechteckigen Blechzuschnitt 10, der mittig in Längsrichtung gekantet ist, so dass er zwei Blechabschnitte 11 der polygonalen Mantelfläche 2 bildet. Der Blechzuschnitt 10 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge des Hohlrotors 1, so dass mit insgesamt sechs derartigen Blechzuschnitten 10 die zwölf Umfangsflächen der Mantelfläche 2 geschaffen werden können. 3 shows a rectangular sheet metal blank 10 which is bent in the middle in the longitudinal direction so that it forms two sheet metal sections 11 of the polygonal lateral surface 2 . The sheet metal blank 10 extends over the entire length of the hollow rotor 1, so that the twelve peripheral surfaces of the lateral surface 2 can be created with a total of six such sheet metal blanks 10.

Fig. 4 zeigt drei Bleche, die gemeinsam das Werkzeug 4 bilden, im auseinandergezogenen Zustand. Ein Halteblech 12 dient zur Halterung eines auswechselbaren Verschleißelements 5. Gegen die Krafteinwirkung durch das bearbeitete Material während des Betriebs des Hohlrotors 1 ist das Halteblech 12 durch zwei Stützbleche 14 abgestützt, so dass sich in der Draufsicht ein insgesamt U-förmiger Querschnitt des Werkzeugs 4 ergibt. An ihrer jeweiligen Unterkante weisen die beiden Stützbleche 14 jeweils eine Haltelasche 15 auf, mit welcher sie sich in 2 parallele Halteschlitze 8 der Mantelfläche 2 erstrecken. Die beiden Stützbleche 14 sind nicht gleich groß, so dass sich aufgrund ihrer unterschiedlichen Größe eine Schrägstellung des Halteblechs 12 ergibt, die auch in Fig. 1 erkennbar ist. 4 shows three sheets, which together form the tool 4, in the extended state. A retaining plate 12 is used to hold a replaceable wear element 5. The retaining plate 12 is supported by two support plates 14 against the force exerted by the machined material during operation of the hollow rotor 1, so that when viewed from above the tool 4 has an overall U-shaped cross section . On their respective lower edge, the two support plates 14 each have a holding tab 15 with which they extend into 2 parallel holding slots 8 of the lateral surface 2 . The two support plates 14 are not the same size, so that due to their different size, the retaining plate 12 is inclined, which also occurs in 1 is recognizable.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine Stützwand 3 vor ihrer Fertigstellung, also vor der Einbringung von Montageschlitzen für die Versteifungsrippen 6, und dementsprechend auch vor der Anbringung der Versteifungsrippen 6 an der Stützwand 3. Den zwölf Ecken der Stützwand 3 jeweils beiderseits benachbart und auch in der Mitte eines jeden der zwölf geradlinigen Umfangsabschnitte ragt jeweils eine Montagelasche 16 radial nach außen, die dazu vorgesehen ist, in einen der Montageschlitze 7 der Mantelfläche 2 einzutauchen. figure 5 shows a support wall 3 before its completion, i.e. before the installation slots for the stiffening ribs 6 are made, and accordingly also before the stiffening ribs 6 are attached to the support wall 3. The twelve corners of the support wall 3 are adjacent on both sides and also in the middle of each of the In each of twelve straight peripheral sections, a mounting bracket 16 protrudes radially outwards and is intended to dip into one of the mounting slots 7 of the lateral surface 2 .

In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist zudem jeweils ein vorderer Achszapfen 17 erkennbar, der zur Lagerung des Hohlrotors 1 dient.In the Figures 1 and 2 a front axle journal 17 can also be seen in each case, which is used to mount the hollow rotor 1 .
