Definitions

  • the invention relates to an inverting filter centrifuge with a drum which is supported in a self-supporting, rotatable manner and has radial filtrate passages which can be pressurized with overpressure or underpressure, with a cover which closes the free end face of the drum, the drum and cover being axially displaceable relative to one another, with one on the cover provided filling opening for the suspension to be filtered and with a filling tube sealed and penetrating the filling opening.
  • a combined rotary and sliding seal is arranged between the stationary filling tube and the filling opening of the cover, which allows working in the drum with pressure or vacuum.
  • the combined rotary and sliding seal which is arranged directly in the filler opening of the lid, has the disadvantage that, due to the inevitable sliding sealing elements, there is strong abrasion in the area of the drum, which can easily lead to undesired contamination of the filtered product. Since the drum rotates at a very high number of revolutions in the filtering operation, considerable abrasion occurs which gives rise to considerable contamination.
  • the object is achieved in that the filling tube is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis and can be rotated together with the drum about this axis.
  • the filling pipe and drum rotate synchronously, all that is required is to provide a simple seal at the filling opening of the drum cover which is penetrated by the filling pipe, without abrasive sealing elements. In this way, abrasion which gives rise to impurities is completely avoided.
  • the inverting filter centrifuge shown schematically in FIG. 1 comprises the entire machine tightly enclosing housing 1, in which a hollow shaft 3 is rotatably mounted in bearings 4 on a stationary machine frame 2.
  • a shaft 5 is arranged axially displaceably, which is connected to the hollow shaft 3 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the shaft 5 thus rotates together with the hollow shaft 3, but is axially displaceable in the latter.
  • a pot-shaped centrifugal drum 7 is flanged with its bottom 8 in a self-supporting and rotationally fixed manner.
  • the drum 7 has radially extending passage openings 11 on its circular cylindrical side wall 9.
  • the drum 7 is open on its end face opposite the bottom 8.
  • On the flange-like opening edge 12 surrounding this open end face, the one edge 14 of an essentially tubular filter cloth 15 is tightly clamped by means of a retaining ring 13.
  • the other edge 16 of the filter cloth 15 is correspondingly tightly connected to a base piece 17, which is rigidly connected to the displaceable shaft 8 which penetrates freely.
  • the filter cloth 15 covers the filtrate passages formed by the passage openings 11.
  • the drum 7 can also be axially displaceable relative to the then stationary cover 19 for the same purpose.
  • a filling tube 21 is arranged on the left side of the inverting filter centrifuge in FIG. 1, which serves to feed a suspension to be broken down into its solid and liquid components into the centrifugal space of the drum 7.
  • the lid 19 of the drum 7 has a central filling opening 22, through which the free end of the filling tube 21 enters the interior of the drum, even when the lid 19 is closed.
  • the filling tube 21 is supported in a stationary bearing block 23 which is fixedly connected to the housing 1, but is located outside this housing, by means of rotary bearings 24 and is rotatable about its longitudinal axis.
  • the filling tube 21 can be set in rotation about its longitudinal axis, which is aligned with the axis of rotation of the drum 7, by means of a drive motor 25, preferably in the form of an electric motor, a belt 26 and a pulley 27 seated in a rotationally fixed manner on the filling tube 21.
  • Usual shaft seals 28 seal the outside of the filling tube 21 in the bearing block 23.
  • the bearing block 23 has an inlet opening 29 which can be connected to a pipeline and through which the suspension to be filtered can be introduced. The suspension passes directly from the filling opening 29 into the filling tube 21 and from there into the drum 7.
  • a bushing 31 which rotates together with the drum, is firmly inserted in the cover 19 of the drum 7 centrally and coaxially with the axis of rotation of the drum.
  • an annularly closed, elastic membrane 32 is arranged within a flat recess in the tube end.
  • a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure medium can be introduced via a line 33 running in the wall of the filling tube 21 between the membrane and the outer wall of the filling tube 21 located in the area of the membrane.
  • the membrane 32 turns radially outward and lies all around against the inner wall of the bush 31, so that a perfect pressure-tight seal is produced between the filling tube 21 and the cover 19 of the drum 8.
  • the line 33 opens into an annular recess 34 in the bearing block 23, into which the pressure medium mentioned for the membrane 32 can be introduced via a channel 35.
  • FIG. 1 the membrane 32 is in the upturned state shown in which it seals against the socket 31.
  • FIG. 2 shows the same state of the membrane 32 at the top.
  • the membrane In FIG. 2 below the membrane is shown in its relaxed, depressurized state, in which, due to its elasticity, it is pulled back smoothly into the above-mentioned recess at the end of the tube 21, so that between the sleeve 31 and the membrane 32 all around a distance that allows the lid 19 to move freely over the fill tube 21.
  • a further recess 36 with an outlet channel 37 is provided between the two shaft seals 28 in the bearing block 23. If necessary, suspension which has reached the shaft seal 28 on the left in FIG. 1 during the filling process can be discharged into the open via this recess 36 and this channel 37.
  • the filling pipe 21 is penetrated over its entire length by a pipeline 38 which is rigidly connected to the bearing block 23, that is to say remains stationary during the rotation of the filling pipe 21.
  • the pipeline 38 can be connected to the bearing block 23 with an overpressure or underpressure source, so that an overpressure or underpressure can be generated in the interior of the closed drum 7, against which, as already stated, that formed by the bushing 31 and the membrane 32 Seal seals.
  • the filling tube 21 can be put into circulation synchronously with the drum 7 because of its rotary bearing in the bearing block 23, there is no friction between the filling tube 21 and the drum 7 in the area of the filling opening 22.
  • the bushing 31 and the membrane 32 thus also rotate synchronously there no grinding abrasion, which could lead to contamination of the suspension in the drum 7. Abrasion could possibly occur to a small extent on the shaft seals 28, but it can be rinsed out there via the recess 36 and the channel 37 without getting into the drum 7.
  • the inverting filter centrifuge described first assumes the position shown in FIG. 1, in which a seal between the cover 19 and the filling tube 21 is produced via the membrane 32 to which pressure medium is applied.
  • the displaceable shaft 5 is retracted into the hollow shaft 3, as a result of which the shaft 5 connected bottom piece 17 is in the vicinity of the bottom of the centrifugal drum 7 and the filter cloth 15 is inserted into the drum such that it lies inside.
  • the centrifugal chamber cover 19 has placed itself tightly on the opening edge of the drum 7.
  • suspension to be filtered is introduced into the centrifugal space of the drum via the filler pipe 21.
  • the drum is rotated relatively quickly.
  • the liquid components of the suspension pass through the openings 11 of the drum 7 and are derived from a baffle plate 40.
  • the solid particles of the suspension are stopped by the filter cloth 15 in the form of the usual filter cake.
  • an overpressure or underpressure can be generated in the interior of the drum 7 via the pipeline 38, against which the seal formed by the bushing 31 and the membrane 32 seals.
  • the shaft 5 is turned to the left with the drum 7 rotating relatively slowly and after switching off the pressure or vacuum source connected to the line 38 and after opening the sealing closure formed by the bushing 31 and the membrane 32 (see FIG. 2 below) moved, whereby the filter cloth 15, as in Figure 1 shown in broken lines, turned inside out and the solid particles adhering to it are thrown outwards into the housing 1.
  • the filling tube 21 penetrates freely past the relaxed membrane 32 into the bore 39 of the shaft 5.
  • the inverting filter centrifuge is brought back into its closed operating position according to FIG. 1 by pulling back the shaft 5, the filter cloth 15 turning back in the opposite direction.
  • the centrifuge can be operated with a continuously rotating centrifugal drum 7, the pressure conditions in the drum 7 being able to be set as desired.
  • the filling tube 21 can be brought to the same speed as the drum before the sealing closure formed by the bushing 31 and the membrane 32 is closed, so that even during the closure of this closure, which leads to a rotationally fixed connection between filler tube 21 and drum 7, no undesirable abrasion can occur.
  • the drive of the filler pipe 21 shown via the motor 25 has only symbolic characters.
  • the synchronous drive of filler pipe 21 and drum 7 is realized with known electrical or mechanical means, for example using frequency-controlled motors with the same setpoint value.
  • the membrane forming an element of the sealing closure of the filling opening 22 is firmly connected to the filling tube 21.
  • a membrane to which a pressure medium can be applied could also be permanently connected to the cover 19 of the drum within the filling opening 22, so that it presses concentrically around the outer wall of the filling tube 21 when pressure medium is applied.
  • the pressure medium acting on the membrane must be supplied via the printing drum 7. This is indicated in FIG. 1 by a channel 41 shown in broken lines, which runs through the shaft 5, the base piece 17, the stud bolt 18 and the cover 19 towards the membrane.
  • the pipeline 38 serving to generate an overpressure or underpressure in the interior of the filling tube 21 can be replaced by a pipeline 42 which is formed in the shaft 5 and is also indicated by dashed lines in FIG.
  • FIG. 3 shows a bearing block 43 of a modified one Embodiment of an inverting filter centrifuge, wherein the bearing block 43 corresponds to the bearing block 23 in Figure 1. Parts that are identical to one another are identified by the same reference numerals in FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • the filling tube 44 has an end flange 45 on the rear.
  • An annular membrane seal 46 can be sealingly applied to the free end surface of the flange 45 if this membrane seal is acted upon on the rear side by a pressure medium formed in the bearing block 43 with a pressure medium.
  • the membrane seal 46 is in turn also arranged in a corresponding annular recess 48 of the bearing block 43 which is open towards the end flange 45.
  • the membrane seal 46 is in the opened state, that is to say detached from the end flange 45 of the filling tube, so that no undesired abrasion can occur between the membrane seal 46 and 44 filler tube.
  • the seals are designed as membrane seals. It is obvious that such membrane seals can also be replaced by other closure elements in the form of pneumatically or hydraulically actuated elastic pinch seals, for example also in the form of a tube.
