Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for extracting a granular or even powdery material contained in a silo.
- Grainy materials include both sugar, clinker, fly ash and grain.
- silos having a shape generally either cylindrical of revolution of vertical axis, or hemispherical.
- silos are generally emptied by gravity and therefore have at their base an evacuation orifice.
- the bottom of the silo is inclined towards the evacuation orifice and generally takes the form of a frustoconical funnel.
- silos are known provided with a mechanical device which facilitates or regularizes the extraction of the material and, in this case, the bottom of the silo is no longer necessarily inclined but can be horizontal.
- an extraction device is known (EP-A-471,136) comprising, in a silo whose body is a hemispherical dome:
- This device includes:
- the assembly must include complementary endless screws arranged radially relative to the fixed support so that the material accumulated in this cavity is moved towards the inside of the fixed support which has a sort of funnel channeling said material towards a belt conveyor or other transfer means placed under the funnel.
- These complementary radial endless screws are associated with the support which, by its rotation about its vertical axis, can, with it, move said screws.
- the length of the arm cannot be increased, otherwise the anchoring of the support will be requested.
- the structure as described has various drawbacks such as an extraction flow rate reduced to around 100 m3 / h, difficult access to the drive motors. located both in the support and in the turret.
- the invention therefore proposes to remedy these various drawbacks.
- the subject of the invention is an extraction device of the aforementioned type comprising: a support anchored on the bottom of the silo,
- the turret has an upper face inclined at an angle to the horizontal
- the scraper arm is associated with this upper face by a base and with respect to the perpendicular axis of this base, the longitudinal axis of this arm is inclined by an angle P,
- the base includes guide means and drive means in rotation about said axis perpendicular to the upper face to modify the angular position of the base of the scraper arm relative to the inclined face of the turret and thus adjust the tilt of the arm in space, this device being characterized in that:
- the turret has at least two inclined faces on each of which is mounted a scraper arm provided with its inclined base, said inclined faces being angularly distributed so that the mass of the scraper arms is balanced and - on the other hand, at least two substantially vertical pipes whose input of each of them is located in a surrounding area to the support and through which the discharge pipes is by gravity. 4
- FIG. 1 enlarged detail of Figure 1. Referring to the drawing, we see a silo 1 containing a material 2 granular or even powdery.
- This silo has at least one mechanical device 3 for extracting the material.
- this extraction device comprises a scraper arm 4 that can be tilted relative to the vertical so that, gradually, this scraper arm tilts and forces the material to move towards a discharge orifice.
- the scraper arm 4 is associated with this upper face 7 by a base ⁇ and with respect to the perpendicular axis of this base, the longitudinal axis of this arm is inclined at an angle P - the base comprises means 9 guide and rotation drive means 10 about said axis perpendicular to the upper face 7 to modify the angular position of the base 8 of the scraper arm relative to the inclined face 7 of the turret and thus adjust the inclination of the arms in space.
- This scraper arm can be in various forms which, in the context of the invention, will not be detailed.
- the turret 6 and the scraper arm 4 are moved by motor means housed inside the turret or the support, so as to be protected from dust. According to the invention: 5
- the turret 6 has at least two inclined faces 7 on each of which is mounted a scraper arm 4 provided with its inclined base, said inclined faces being angularly distributed so that the mass of the scraper arms is balanced and - d ' on the other hand, at least two substantially vertical pipes 11, the entry of each of which is located in a zone peripheral to the support and by which pipes the evacuation is effected by gravity.
- the scraper arms are mounted opposite each other. When there are three scraper arms, these are 120 degrees out of phase, etc.
- the extraction flow can thus be easily increased, all the more so as the cross section of the evacuation pipes poses no technical problem in order to be adapted to the maximum flow desired.
- An advantage of a system with multiple evacuation pipes is that each pipe ends in a conveyor belt serving various points and if, unfortunately, one of its conveyors breaks down, unloading of the silo can continue.
- Evacuation pipes are, of course, equipped with shutter dampers (not shown).
- Draining without using the scraper arm is done by gravity, by fluidization or other usual means.
- the asymmetrical position of the vertical axis of the arms relative to the center of the silo makes it possible, with the help of the polar rotation movement, to avoid dropping any vault that can form after emptying without using the scraper arm.
