Definitions
- This invention relates to the pneumatic transfer of particulate material from a bulk at one location to a second location. Such transfer has appplication in large size
- One object of the invention is to provide a pneumatic transfer system in which particulate material can be transferred even though it may contain a relatively high degree of dampness.
- I 5 pneumatically transferring particulate material from a bulk comprises disposing a tubular device in the bulk, the tubular device having a longitudinal opening for the ingress of the particulate material and a fluid particulate material outlet at or towards one end and a fluid inlet at or towards its other
- an apparatus for transferring particulate material from a bulk at a first location to a second location comprising a tubular device adapted to be disposed in the bulk and having a longitudinal opening for the ingress of particulate material, an outlet at or towards one end for particulate material, a fluid inlet at or towards the other end, means for applying suction to said outlet and a pressurised fluid source for applying a fluid pressure to said fluid inlet.
- the invention has been found to have particularly advantageous application in sand box and ejector equipment for railway locomotives. Such equipment must be capable of operating for short periods at a controlled rate and be reliable despite variations in the condition of the sand.
- the invention will now be further described in this context.
- a small quantity of sand or other grit is placed between the rail and the driving wheel of the locomotive.
- the sand is stored in boxes on the locomotive from which it is carried to a sand ejector and directed towards the wheel and rail.
- the aforesaid tubular device is disposed in the sand box for transferring sand from the sand box to the ejector.
- a new design of ejector which allows the sand to travel in a straight path.
- the reliability of the ejector and the useful life of the barrel are thereby increased.
- the sand passes along a straight duct to an inlet port on the axis of the barrel, the said duct and the barrel being co-axial.
- the barrel is of slightly larger diameter than the inlet port and high pressure air is arranged to enter the barrel around the outside of the sand inlet, to produce a partial vacuum that draws the sand into the high velocity air blast.
- Figure 2 illustrates the equipment with the sand box shown in section
- Figure 3 shows a preferred form of ejector in Q accordance with the invention
- Figure 4 shows a cross-section through a preferred form of tubular device for collecting sand from the sand box.
- the device 1 contains a sand collecting device 2 embedded in the sand 3.
- the device 2 comprises a horizontal sand collecting tube extending substantially horizontally and linearly between - opposite sides of the sand box adjacent the bottom of the sand box 1 and connecting with ports in these sides. At these ports inlet tube 5 and outlet tube 6 are sealed into the inlet and outlet ends 4a and 4b of the collecting tube 2.
- the tube is provided with a slit 7 through which the sand is drawn from the box 1 into the tube 2.
- the slit may, for example, extend over 120° of arc about the centre of the tube 2. However, this angle may vary to suit the desired characteristics of the material being delivered.
- the inlet tube 5 tees into a line 8 which leads from a source of air pressure.
- the outlet tube 6 leads to a sand
- ejector 9 which also connects via the line 8 to the source of air pressure.
- Chokes 11 and 12 are fitted in the inlet tube 5 and in the line 8 adjacent the ejector 9.
- the choke 11 controls the air flow to the device 2 via the inlet tube 5 and the choke 12 controls the air flow to the ejector 9 which ] _5 creates a suction pressure in outlet tube 6 to draw air and sand from the sand box 1 through the device 2.
- the pressure applied by the air source is between 50 and 100 p.s.i. (345 - 690 kN/m 2 ) .
- the range of the chokes 11 and 12 is 1 to 2 mm.
- the vacuum o produced by the ejector is 2"-6" of mercury.
- the flow of sand through the outlet tube 6 and out of the ejector is between 300 and 700 grams per minute.
- the ejector 9 comprises straight
- the duct 21 is of smaller diameter than the barrel 22 and connects with the barrel 22 via annular shoulder 23.
- Surrounding the duct 21 is an annular air duct 24 which , _ connects via supply duct 25 to the high pressure air supply line 8.
- Leading from the duct 24 are a series of ducts 27 which have orifices in the shoulder 23 opening into the barrel 22.
- the ducts 27 are regularly spaced about the axis of the duct 21 and are inclined towards the axis of the barrel 22 so
- Figure 4 shows a cross-section of a particular form of tubular device 2 for collecting sand from the sand box 1.
- the inlet for the sand instead of being a slit is a throat 31 formed by shaping the material of the device 2 and through which the sand must pass in order to enter the device 2.
- This throat 31 providing that its width is appropriately sized in relation to the particulate material can act as a valve to prevent back feed of the material. Thus if the pressures are removed, and the weight of the material tends to push the material back, the throat 31 becomes blocked with the material.

Abstract
Un procédé de transfert pneumatique de matière particulaire, à partir d'un volume, comprend l'emplacement d'un dispositif (2) tubulaire dans le volume (3), le dispositif tubulaire (2) ayant un orifice (7) longitudinal pour l'entrée de matière particulaire, une sortie (4b) d'air et de matière particulière à, ou vers une extrémité, et une arrivée (4a) d'air à, ou vers son autre extrémité, exerçant une aspiration à la sortie (4b) pour retirer l'air de l'entrée (4a) et ainsi entrainer de la matière particulaire du volume (3), et exerçant simultanément une pression de fluide, à partir d'une source pressurisé, sur l'arrivée (4a). On a découvert que le procédé présente des applications particulièrement avantageuses, dans des sablières et dans des équipements ejecteurs pour des locomotives ferroviaires, dans lesquelles le dispositif (2) tubulaire est disposé dans la sablière (1) afin de transférer du sable de la sablière (1) à l'éjecteur.
