Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling and a method for emptying a liquid tank of a spreading device for winter maintenance vehicles and a suitably designed for carrying out these methods spreader for winter maintenance vehicles and equipped with such a spreader winter service vehicle as such.
  • a usable in the scattering tank tank bag can be provided.
  • the brine required for the pure brine dispersion is conveyed from the additional tanks in a conventional manner and the additional tanks are automatically refilled from time to time with brine from the scattering tank or the tank bag received therein.
  • a pump which pumps into the additional tanks via a hose projecting into the scattering container or tank bag.
  • a suction pump 51 as shown in Figures 17 and 18, or alternatively serve a submersible pump.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to overcome this disadvantage of the prior art.
  • the inventive method for filling a liquid tank which as a first tank container, for example, the scattering container or the tank bag received therein and as one or more second sees Tank container such as the aforementioned additional tanks, before, that the first tank container with the second tank or containers via a liquid line is connected such that initially the first tank container with liquid, for example with brine, is filled to a moment from which the in the first tank container filled liquid begins to flow through the liquid line into the at least one second tank container, wherein the filling of the second tank container with liquid from the first tank container through the liquid line therethrough following this moment.
  • a liquid tank which as a first tank container, for example, the scattering container or the tank bag received therein and as one or more second sees Tank container such as the aforementioned additional tanks
  • the liquid line has a highest point between the two conduit openings at the respective ends of the liquid line.
  • This highest point is preferably at or above an upper portion of the first tank (main tank), so that the step of filling the second tank (s) does not begin until the first tank is completely or at least almost completely filled.
  • the filling of the second tank container (s) starts only after the liquid in the liquid line has reached the highest point, and thereafter the filling of the second tank container with liquid from the first tank container through the liquid pipe automatically proceeds by utilizing hydrostatic forces , as long as the line opening of the end of the liquid line projecting into the second tank container (auxiliary tank) is below the liquid level of the first tank container (main tank).
  • This possibility is not limited to the use of a tank bag as the first tank container, but may be used in consideration of certain constraints which will be explained later, e.g. the scattering container itself is used as the first tank container (main tank).
  • the (first) conduit opening of the liquid conduit is close to the bottom of the first tank container, so that the first tank container during emptying emptied as completely as possible.
  • the (second) conduit opening of the liquid conduit connected to or projecting into the second tank container (auxiliary tank) is located at a position below the (first) conduit opening of the opposite end of the fluid conduit connected to or projecting into the first tank vessel (main tank). so that the first tank container are emptied as deeply as possible when emptying the liquid tank.
  • the (second) conduit opening is therefore preferably located below the bottom of the first tank container.
  • the liquid line can be guided over an upper edge of the scattering container.
  • the highest point of the liquid line then lies above the scattering container or a tank bag received therein.
  • this offers the advantage that the maximum filling volume of the first tank container (scattering container or tank bag received therein) can easily be completely filled with liquid before the filling of the second tank container through the liquid line begins.
  • the problem is that in this case when using a tank bag as the first tank container, an overpressure must be built in the tank bag to force the liquid out of the tank bag over the highest point of the liquid line out through the liquid line.
  • the liquid is pumped into the first tank container with such a volume flow that the liquid not only spills over the highest point but completely fills the liquid line. Because only with a closed column of liquid in the liquid line, the goal is achieved that the liquid is automatically retightened due to hydrostatic forces of the first tank into the second tank container.
  • the first tank container is not formed by a tank bag but, for example, by the scattering container itself, the generation of an overpressure in the first tank container is not possible.
  • a suction pump can be provided on the liquid line with which the liquid is sucked once beyond the highest point of the liquid line out. Subsequently, the suction pump can be switched off and the further filling automatically runs off solely due to hydrostatic forces.
  • the overpressure problem can be avoided if the liquid line is not guided around the upper edge of the scattering container but in an upper area through the wall of the scattering container. Then, the filling of the second tank container begins when the first tank container is almost completely filled and continues automatically, as long as it is ensured that forms a closed column of liquid in the liquid line at the start of the self-filling process, as explained above.
  • the wall of the scattering container is relatively easily accessible even in the presence of a tank bag, so that the liquid line at this point can be easily passed through the wall of the scattering container to the tank bag or the tank bag at the appropriate location to an opening in the scattering container can be connected, at the opposite side then leading to the additional tank hose is connected.
  • the filling of the first tank can be stopped as soon as the second tank automatically fills due to the acting hydrostatic forces.
  • the first tank then empties as the second tank container fills. Therefore, it is preferable to continue to fill the first tank container while the second tank container automatically fills with liquid from the first tank container until both tank containers are completely filled.
  • vents are provided on the first and second tank containers, so that the air therein can escape to the extent that fills the corresponding tank container with liquid.
  • a level limiter can be provided in the second tank container or in the first tank container, depending on the chosen filling principle, which sends a stop signal to the filling apparatus when a predetermined filling level has been reached.
  • FIG. 1 Shown in FIG. 1 is an attachment spreader 1 as a construction on a loading area of a truck, which is not explicitly shown here.
  • a scattering container 3 On a welded support frame 2, a scattering container 3 is constructed, which has a funnel-shaped cross-section, so that collected in the scattering container Taustoffe collect on the conically converging bottom of the scattering container 3.
  • a screw conveyor at the bottom of the scattering container transports solid scattering substances, in particular road salt, out of the scattering container 3 to an outlet 4, through which the scattering substances in turn are forced into the downpipe 5 due to gravity a spreader 6 and can fall through the downpipe 5 on a spreading plate 7 of the spreader 6.
  • Two additional tanks 10 for liquid, in particular for a salt solution (brine), are provided in order to admix the liquid which has fallen through the downpipe 5 in a suitably metered quantity of liquid. This is done in a conventional manner via a suction line 15 using a suitably controlled pump 16.
  • the place of admixing does not necessarily have to be in the downpipe itself, but can for example take place only at the lower end of the downpipe 5 on the spreading plate 7.
  • Additional tanks 10 may be provided, for example, in front of the scattering container 3.
  • the additional tanks 10 can be made significantly smaller in size in favor of an increase in the content of the scattering container 3 than it is in FIG FIG. 1 is shown. If several additional tanks 10 are provided for mixing liquid detergents, they are preferably connected to one another via lines.
  • the functions pure brine spreading, dry salt scattering or wet salt scattering can be achieved with the pump 16 and suitable valves 11.2.
  • the pump 16 By means of the designed as a three-way cock valve 11.2 (for example ball valve), the pump 16 can be connected to the spray 17 or the downpipe 5 to switch between the pure brine and the Feuchtsalzstreuung. If dry salt is to be scattered, that is, without admixing brine from the additional tanks 10, either the pump 16 can be switched off or the three-way cock 11.2 can be pivoted so that the conduction path from the pump 16 to both the spraying device 17 and the scattering device 6 is interrupted. On the other hand, it is with the in FIG.
  • a liquid tank 40 is inserted into the scattering tank 3 and connected via a liquid line 50 to the auxiliary tanks 10.
  • the liquid tank 40 can be filled with brine via a filler neck 42.
  • a feedthrough 43 is provided, through which the liquid line 50 is led into the liquid tank 20 with a hose extension 50A.
  • the tube extension 50A extends to the bottom of the liquid tank 40.
  • the liquid tank 40 is formed by a tank bag 40A which is inserted into the scattering tank 3 as described.
  • the tank bag 40A need not necessarily be made of a flexible, collapsible material, it may as well be a rigid insert tank. However, it is preferable if the tank bag, as in DE 10 2010 029 142 A1 described, is flexible and collapsible, so that it is better storable.
  • the tank bag 40A fills only half of the scattering container 3. In the remaining other half, a second tank bag 40A or dry spreading material can be picked up, which is then conveyed under the tank bag 40A to the spreader 6. If a second tank bag 40A is provided, an overflow between the tank bags can be provided, which is arranged as far as possible for ease of use. To the overflow of the second tank bag then in turn joins a hose extension, which extends to the bottom of the second tank bag.
  • FIGS. 2 to 9 the principle of filling and emptying of the liquid tank is described below, which is composed here of the first tank container formed by the tank bag 40A and by two additional tanks 10 as a second tank container.
  • the illustrations are to be understood purely schematically.
  • FIG. 2 shows a first phase of the filling process of the tank 40A.
  • the additional tanks 10 are still completely empty.
  • the check valve 18 is closed.
  • the closing of the suction pipe 15 connected to the two auxiliary tanks 10 may also be effected solely by the pump 16 (FIG. FIG. 1 ) be ensured.
  • the tank bag 40A is not completely filled.
  • the pressure acting on the liquid corresponds to the ambient pressure po.
  • the arrow indicates that the tank bag 40A is further filled with liquid through the filler neck 42.
  • FIG. 3 the liquid level has risen so far that the vent valve 44 (see also FIG. 1 ) closes.
  • a float 45 in the vent valve 44 ensures that no liquid can escape from the tank bag 40A.
  • the pressure acting on the liquid in the tank bag 40A at this time still corresponds to the ambient pressure po.
  • the liquid level in the liquid line 50 has already risen above the tank bag 40A.
  • the pressure p acting on the liquid in the tank bag 40A is raised above the ambient pressure po.
  • the tank bag 40A inflates (not shown) as indicated by the arrows shown in the tank bag, and the liquid in the tank bag 40A is conveyed through the liquid line 50 via the highest point 50B of the tank Fluid line 50 pushed out. This moment is in FIG. 4 shown.
  • the volume flow flowing through the filler neck 42 is sufficiently large so that the liquid not only spills over the highest point 50B of the liquid line 50, but also completely fills and flows down the liquid line 50 as a closed liquid column.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates this principle.
  • the liquid level in the auxiliary tanks 10 increases in parallel as the liquid level in the tank bag 40 decreases. It is not necessary at this moment to continue to supply liquid through the filler neck 42 (however, this is advisable to keep the total filling time as short as possible).
  • FIG. 6 Fig. 14 shows the state in which the liquid levels in all the tank containers 40A and 10 have reached the same level. There is no further liquid flows through the liquid line 50. The liquid level of the additional tanks 10 has risen to the leading up vent pipes 30. At least now, the filling process is continued by further supply of liquid through the filler neck 42 in the tank bag 40A. The level of liquid in the vent tubes 30 continues to increase until the maximum fill volume is reached, as in FIG. 7 shown. Accordingly, the vent tubes 30 end above the highest fill level of the tank bag 40A.
  • the check valve 18 is opened or the pump 16 is operated accordingly. Liquid is then withdrawn from the auxiliary tanks 10 through the suction line 15, and to the same extent, liquid from the tank bag 40A flows through the liquid line 50 into the auxiliary tanks 10, as in FIG FIG. 8 shown. The liquid level drops in all Tank containers 40A and 10 evenly until it is in FIG. 9 has reached the lowest level shown, wherein the conduit opening of the projecting into the tank bag 40A tube extension 50A emerges from the liquid level. From this moment, the further emptying of the liquid tank takes place solely from the additional tanks 10.
  • the auxiliary tanks 10 may also be equipped with vent valves 31, as in FIG FIG. 1 shown.
  • This vent valve 31 closes similar to the vent valve 44 of the tank bag 40A automatically when a correspondingly high level is reached. This moment can be detected by measurement and serve as a signal to adjust the further filling of the tank bag 40 A, which, however, only makes sense if the filling of the tank bag 40 A is continued, while the additional tanks 10 with liquid passed through the liquid line 50 from the Fill tank bag 40A.
  • FIG. 10 shows an equivalent circuit diagram for the in FIG. 1 illustrated spreader.
  • Liquid is introduced into the tank bag 40A via a filler neck 42.
  • the tank bag 40A vented via the vent valve 44 and the liquid is supplied via the liquid line 50 and hose extension 50A of the connecting line 14 between the two additional tanks 10, through which the liquid then flows into the auxiliary tanks 10.
  • the two auxiliary tanks 10 are connected via vent pipes 30 to a common vent 30A which ends above the auxiliary tank 40A (not shown in the replacement diagram).
  • a separate level limiter 32 is connected to one of the two additional tanks 10 and signals at a predetermined level the end of the filling process.
  • the additional tanks 10 are coupled to a manifold 20 which supplies the liquid from the additional tanks 10 either the scattering device 6 or another distributor 21, with which the liquid can be assigned to several spray heads 17A, 17B, 17C.
  • FIG. 10 represents at the same time a second embodiment as a deviation of the first embodiment, which in FIG. 11 is shown again schematically. Accordingly, here leads the liquid line 50 in a connecting line 14 between the two additional tanks 10, which is different from the manifold 20 leading to the suction lines 19, is withdrawn through the liquid from the additional tanks 10.
  • FIG. 12 shows as a third embodiment, a further modification, which also already in connection with the replacement diagram according to FIG. 10 was explained.
  • the vent tubes 30 of the auxiliary tank 10 terminate in a common vent 30A, which in turn is a self-closing valve that closes when the liquid level in the entire liquid tank has reached the vent 30A. This can, as mentioned, be detected by measurement and serve as a signal for switching off the filling process.
  • the filler neck 42 is above the vent 30A, so that the filler neck 42 can be safely closed without liquid exiting the liquid tank.
  • FIG. 13 shows as a further modification, a fourth embodiment.
  • the uppermost point 50B of the liquid line 50 is located in an upper portion of the tank bag 40A immediately below the maximum fill level of the tank bag 40A.
  • the liquid therefore flows from the tank bag 40A into the liquid line 50 when the maximum level in the tank bag 40A is approximately reached without having to generate an overpressure in the tank bag 40A.
  • the liquid line 50 then continues through in the upper region of the scattering container 3 through a wall 3A of the scattering container 3.
  • Couplings 61 and 62 on the container wall 3A are provided to externally connect the liquid conduit 50 and internally the tube extension 50A thereto. This is also on the inside of the Litter container 3 relatively unproblematic, because this point of the litter box 3 is still easily accessible even in the presence of the tank bag 40A.
  • FIG. 14 shows as a further modification, a fifth embodiment.
  • the first tank container (main tank) is not formed by a tank bag used in the scattering container but by the scattering container 3 itself.
  • a sealing plate inserted into the hopper 3 plate 28 forms the bottom of the first tank.
  • the conveying device for conveying solid scattering substances runs in the event that the spreading container 3 at other times does not serve as a liquid tank but in a conventional manner as a container for receiving, for example, road salt.
  • the liquid line 50 is guided into the scattering container 3 via a passage 63 in the wall 3A of the scattering container 3 and protrudes with its hose extension 50A to the bottom of the scattering container 3.
  • the principle of filling and emptying corresponds to the above-described principle, in particular similar to the fourth embodiment according to FIG. 13 , If the liquid pressure during filling of the tank container is not sufficient to produce a closed water column in the liquid line 50 in order to ensure an independent subsequent flow of liquid from the scattering tank 3 into the additional tank 10, in addition eg a suction pump 52 and a check valve 53 be provided. First, the check valve 53 is closed and then the suction pump 52 in operation taken. Once the suction pump 52 has sucked liquid, the suction pump 52 can be turned off and then the check valve 53 are opened. Then, the liquid automatically flows through the liquid line 50 from the scattering tank 3 into the auxiliary tank 10. Other ways to start flowing through the liquid line 50 are also possible.
  • another tank can serve as the main tank or "first tank".
  • the principles described above, in particular the use of a connecting line 50 passing through a highest point, are equally applicable thereto.
