Abstract
In a spread unit, a granular material, preferably anti-icing, arranged inside a hopper container, is fed towards a spread device by a feed assembly with a fixed support surface arranged in a position facing an outlet of the container and a belt dosing device arranged downstream of the fixed surface and on the outlet side for receiving the material from the fixed surface and dosing it before sending it to the spread device.
Description
- This application is the national stage application of International Patent Application No. PCT/IB2012/055699, filed Oct. 18, 2012, entitled “Spread Unit for Spreading Granular Material”, which claims the benefit of Italian Application No. TO2011A000937, filed Oct. 18, 2011, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
- The present invention relates to a spread unit for spreading granular material. In particular, the present invention relates to a spread unit for spreading anti-icing granular material to be distributed on extended surfaces such as, e.g., pavings in general, street surfaces, parking lots, harbour and airport areas, to which the following disclosure will explicitly refer without however being less general.
- The use of spread units is known for spreading anti-icing granular material, each comprising a hopper container accommodating a mass of such material and having a lower opening, a spread device and a feed conveyor adapted to receive the material flowing out from said opening and to move it towards the spread device.
- The known units of the above-described type are not very satisfactory, especially concerning the distribution uniformity of the anti-icing material.
- The above disclosure is essentially attributable to the particular embodiment of known feed conveyors, which discontinuously feed the material, in some cases, due to the friction that is generated between the material and the fixed parts of the conveyor and, in other cases, due to the inevitable deformation of components of the conveyor itself under the weight of the material in the container.
- Moreover, in both cases, many of the parts forming the conveyors wear out in relatively short time.
- Spread units for spreading granular material are known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,583,646A, U.S. Pat. No. 5,170,948A and GB650390A.
- The object of the present invention is to make a spread unit, which allows the above-mentioned problems to be solved in a simple and cost-effective manner.
- According to the present invention, a spread unit is made for spreading granular material as claimed in claim 1.
- The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a perspective view having parts removed for clarity of a preferred, non-limiting embodiment of a spread unit for spreading granular material made according to the dictates of the present invention.
- In the accompanying figure, numeral 1 indicates a spread unit for spreading granular material as a whole, such as for example an anti-icing saline substance, on an extended
surface 2 such as e.g. a paving in general, a street surface, a parking lot, a harbour or airport area, etc. - The unit comprises a frame 3 adapted to be connected, for example to a self-propelled unit 4 (partially shown), and a container 5 for the granular material and supported by frame 3.
- Container 5 comprises a front frontal wall 6, a rear frontal wall 7 and two side walls 8 (only one of which is seen in the accompanying drawing), which converge towards each other and downwards to define, with the frontal walls 6, 7, an outlet 9 which is elongated in a longitudinal direction A.
- Again with reference to the accompanying
FIG. 1 , unit also comprises adisk spreader 10, in itself known and not described in detail, for distributing the granular material over the above-mentioned extendedsurface 2, and a conveyor anddosing assembly 11 for feeding the material in the longitudinal direction A and generating a homogeneous and continuous flow of material towardsspreader 10. - The conveyor and
dosing assembly 11 comprises ablade conveyor 12, which extends in a facing position and basically for the entire length of opening 9, for supporting—without deforming it—the material housed in container 5 and gradually flowing out from opening 9, and abelt dosing device 13 arranged downstream ofconveyor 12 in the material feed direction A and on the side of opening 9, for receiving the material from theblade conveyor 12 and sending it to spreader 10. - The
blade conveyor 12 comprises a flatrigid wall 14 facing opening 9 and stably connected to frame 3 so as to close opening 9, and a blade catenary 15 for translating the granular material deposited onwall 14 in the longitudinal direction A. - Catenary 15 comprises two
drag chains 16, which are transversally distanced from each other and are wound ringwise on endroller deviating bodies respective drag chains 16. The pulleys are keyed onto end sections ofrespective shafts 16 a, 18 a, which are arranged at longitudinal parts opposite towall 14 and rotatably aboutrespective axes 16 b and 18 b, which are parallel to each other and towall 14 and are orthogonal to direction A. - In the particular embodiment described,
shaft 16 a is motorised and is arranged downstream of the frontal wall 7 in an inlet 10 a ofspreader 10. - Catenary 15 further comprises a plurality of
blades 19, which are orthogonal and integrally connected to thechains 16 to slidingly cooperate with theupper surface 14 a ofwall 14 and feed the material past the frontal wall 7 through an opening orpassageway 20 obtained in the frontal wall 7. - Again with reference to the accompanying figure, the
dosing device 13 comprises aflexible belt 21, which is conveniently made of polymeric or other similar material, which is wound ringwise about a longitudinal pair ofend deviating rollers 23 and 24, which are parallel to each other and to theaxes 16 b, 18 b of theshafts rollers 23 and 24,roller 23 is keyed onto the intermediate section ofshaft 16 a between the related toothed pulleys, while roller 24 is arranged below and substantially at the frontal wall 7 or atpassageway 20. Therollers 23 and 24divide belt 21 into adelivery branch 21 a and areturn branch 21 b; thedelivery branch 21 a is substantially coplanar to theupper surface 14 a ofwall 14, to which it is conveniently joined by a plate portion 26, and is arranged tangent toblade 19 to define, with theblades 19, somepockets 27 housing predefined masses of material. - Since catenary 15 and
belt 21 are coupled to thesame shaft 16 a in angularly fixed positions, thedelivery branch 21 a and theblades 19 translate in direction A at the same speed whereby the related speed is null between thedelivery branch 21 and theblades 19, and the volume ofpockets 27 is constant. - According to a variant not shown, catenary 15 is not coupled to
shaft 16 a but is wound about a motorised return shaft of it, again parallel toshaft 18 and arranged upstream of roller and independent from roller 24. Therefore, catenary 15 andbelt 21 of thedosing device 13 may be controlled independently from each other, so as to feed the material at different speeds in direction A, depending on the position of the material. - Again with reference to the accompanying figure, the
dosing device 13 also comprises a crushingassembly 29 arranged in a position facing thedelivery branch 21 a ofbelt 21, for crushing the material being fed in conjunction withbelt 21 and arranged between theblades 19. - It is apparent from the above that the particular embodiment of the described
conveyor assembly 12 allows the material contained in container 5 to be fed, but especially accurately dosed, whatever the level of the material inside container 5 and, therefore, a continuous and uniform flow to be sent towards inlet 10 a ofspreader 10. - The above is essentially subsequent to the fact that the weight of the material housed inside container 5 is basically only supported by the
rigid wall 14 arranged below outlet 9 of container 5, while thedosing device 13, which extends past the outlet opening 9 of container 5 supports definitely less weight with respect to the one supported by thefixed wall 14, and specifically, only the weight of the material fed by catenary 15. - It should also be noted that the weight supported by the
dosing device 13 does not vary as the quantity of material housed in container 5 varies, thus the material is always fed under the same load or stress conditions and this, associated with the lack of related motion with catenary 15, makes it possible to feed a constant flow of material. - In view of the above-mentioned reasons, it is then possible to make a
belt 21 and hence adosing device 13 having an extremely contained longitudinal length with respect to the blade conveyor and hence a unit having an overall longitudinal size which is comparable with the one of known embodiments and, therefore, usable on existing vehicles without the need for structural modifications to be made to the vehicles themselves. - From the above it is apparent that modifications or variants may be made to describe unit 1, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the independent claim.
- In particular, the blade conveyor or the
dosing device 13, of whichbelt 21 may be made with materials other than the one described, may be constructionally different from the ones described by way of example. -
Spreader 10 may also be different from the one described.
