Description

DESCRIPTION

Equipment for transporting and unloading powdery products.

Technical sector

The present invention refers to equipment for transporting and unloading powdery products, by means of which it is possible to carry out transport in standard maritime containers, which translates into a huge reduction in transport costs, as well as an acceleration of said process, allowing its transport by road, train and ship without having to change storage media.

The invention is applicable to products such as cement, lime, fly ash, and the like.

Background of the Invention

The transport of bulk cement, as well as other types of powdery products, is currently being carried out by means of special tanks for the transport of powdered materials. This type of tank transport limits distribution to a radius of action based on transport costs.

Thus, when it is intended to carry the transport of this type of materials on ships, it is necessary to empty the tanks in the holds of the ship in the port of origin, to be loaded again in the port of destination, all which makes the process more expensive and slows down considerably.

Explanation of the invention

The equipment for transporting and unloading powdery products that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the aforementioned problems, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, and more specifically, it has been foreseen that the powdery products are transported in standard maritime containers, whether through trucks, ships or trains, with the particularity that said products are arranged in a kind of bags, of dimensions according to the internal dimensions of the container, normally known as "liners", in which at least one upper loading mouth and one lower discharge mouth are established.

For the unloading process it is necessary to have a tilting platform, either the container transport platform itself, or a platform enabled for this capable of tilting the container around 45 °.

The product is extracted through an unloading equipment, in which a main support structure participates, which is fixed to the rear chassis and unloads the container, a structure on which a rotary lock is established whose entrance mouth is connected to a tray or hopper through which the outlet mouth of the bag or "liner" is guided, towards the gate, being duly stabilized between these elements.

The rotary lock connects to a honeycomb blower that injects air under pressure, causing the product to exit through the rotary lock to a flexible hose that will be connected to the silo or product discharge tank.

It only remains to point out lastly that the gate has a tube to eliminate the pressure inside that connects superiorly to the bosa.

As for the tilting means provided for the container, said container will be tilted as the unloading process progresses to facilitate the unloading process.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is included as an integral part of said description. where, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a schematic view of an equipment for transporting and unloading powdery products made according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective detail of the unloading means applied to a container, in the initial working situation, in which the container has not yet been tilted.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the equipment for transporting and unloading powdery products of the invention provides for the transport of said products in standard maritime containers (1), without ruling out other types of containers, with the particularity that the they are inserted in bags (2) or "liners" of dimensions according to the internal dimensions of the container, in which at least one upper loading mouth (3) and one lower discharge mouth (4) are established.

The container can be placed on a tilting platform, or be tilted in its unloading process through the tilting platform of the transport vehicle, in the event that it has mechanisms of this type.

In any case, the powder product is extracted by means of a discharge equipment that is attached to the back of the container (1).

For this, the unloading equipment includes a support structure (5), with means for fixing it to the mouth or the lower edge of the container (1), with upper guides through which it is possible to implant on said structure an exclusive rotary (6) whose inlet mouth is connected to a tray or hopper (7) through which the discharge mouth (4) of the bag or "liner" is guided, towards the rotary gate (6), being duly stabilized between these elements.

As can be seen in both figures, the rotating lock (6) is connected to a honeycomb blower (8) through a first line (9), which injects air under pressure, causing the product to exit through from the rotating lock to a flexible hose (10) that will be connected to the silo (11) or product discharge tank.

According to figure 2, the rotary lock (6) includes a tube (12) to eliminate the pressure inside it, which is connected superiorly to the bosa (2).

From this structure, the operation will be as follows:

First, once the doors of the container (1) have been opened, the support structure (5) is placed, coupling it to the container by means of the fixings provided therein.

Next, the hopper (7) or discharge tray is placed on said structure. Then the discharge mouth (4) is removed from the bag (2), opened and stretched to the end or circular mouth of the hopper (7), turning it over. The next step is to place the rotating lock (6) on the rails of the main structure and slide it until closing with the circular mouth of the hopper, trapping the discharge mouth (4) of the bag (2) between these.

Next, the tube (12) of the rotary lock (6) is connected to the inlet (1) of the bag (2) to eliminate the pressure inside the lock during its operation.

Finally, the outlet of the rotary lock (6) is connected to the flexible hose (10) for transporting the product to the place where it is collected.

Once everything is connected, the first thing to do is activate the honeycomb blower (8) for pneumatic transport, then the rotary lock (6) is connected as a dosing element and the container is gradually tilted slowly so that the material falls To the Exit.

In the tilting process, you must be careful not to tip more than necessary and the material comes out of the upper mouth of the bag.
