Claims priority, application Switzerland November 23, 1953 12 Claims. (Cl. 210r--67) This invention relates to a push-type centrifugal machine having at least two separator cages arranged coaxially.
In the known push-type centrifugal machines, the solid material to be centrifuged is continuously conveyed through and out of the separator cages by an axially reciprocating pusher member. The ejected material is intercepted by a housing which surrounds the end of the cage, and downwardly discharged through an open shaft.
The so-called multi-stage push-type centrifugal machines operate in accordance with the same principle, but in these the solid material centrifuged out of a first cage is projected into a second cagearranged coaxially therewith, and in which it is moved further towards the delivery side. Depending upon the object in view, this second cage is succeeded by one or more further cages.
In these multi-stage push-type centrifugal machines, therefore, the centrifuged material passes successively to a number of coaxially arranged forarninous separator cages partially surrounding one another, butv the centrifuged material is always moved axially forwards in the same direction. The layers of material to be centrifuged in the various cages succeed one another in the axial direction.
Each of the cages is equivalent to a continuation of the preceding cage, and the period during which the solid material to be centrifuged stays in the centrifugal machine can be increased as desired.
Multi-stage push-type centrifugal machines afford the advantage that the material to be centrifuged stays in the machine for a longer period of time. Moreover, the solid material is advantageously loosened in passing from one drum to the other and is thus rendered more capable of filtration. Since the stage diameters increase from stage to stage, the degree of dryness of the solid material is at the same time improved.
Asv heretofore constructed multi-stage centrifugal ma- Patented Jan. 24, 1956 The effect is to shorten the machine and improve its construction.
Four different constructional forms of a push-type centrifugal machine designed in accordance with the invention are illustrated by way of example in simplified form in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figures 1 and 2 each show in axial longitudinal section a constructional form having three separator cages arranged coaxially to one another, wherein the material to be centrifuged is moved axially alternately in different directions, and
Figures 3 and 4 are axial longitudinal sections through two different constructions having three separator cages, on which'the material to be centrifuged is moved unidirectionally.
In the push-type centrifugal machine illustrated in Figure 1, a rotor having three foraminous separator cages restrained against axial motion. -'In addition, it is rigidly connected to a push-bottom '10 arranged within the cage chines of the push type were unduly long, and necessairily included features objectionable from the design standpoint. To afford desirable access to the cages the latter must be mounted in overhung relation to their bearings, and this fact, and adherence to an axially olfset relation of the cages and to unidirectional feed through all cages, introduced problems in the design and location of the bearings.
. According to the invention, each cage (except the last) of a multi-cage unit, is encircled by the next, and transfer means are provided to guide the material from the 1, and to a distributor shell 11. Furthermore, that end of the cage-1 which is further from the disc 7 carries an annular portion 12 which is connected by stays 13 to the cage 1 and serves as a pusher member for the cage 2. The cage 2 furthermore has an annular projection 14 serving as a pusher member for the cage 3.
The material to be centrifuged is introduced into the distributor shell 11 through a feed pipe 15, and is distributed by the said shell in a layer on to the cage 1. For the forward movement of the material to be centrifuged on the saidcage and the further movement to the succeeding cages, the cages 1 and 3 are reciprocated in the axial direction by an actuating mechanism of known type (not shown), which engages with the left hand end of the rod 8. When the cage 1 is moved from the position shown to the left, the layer of material to be centrifuged which lies thereon is moved to the right relatively to the cage by the push-bottom 10. That part of the layer of material to be centrifuged which lies in the neighbourhood of the free end of the cage is expelled through the gaps between the stays 13 connecting the end of the drum to the annular portion 12 and guided on to thecagez; I E
- Simultaneously with-the movement of the cage 1 to the left, the annular portion 12 also "moves in the same direction and displaces to the left the layer of material to be centrifuged which is situated on the cage 2, which is fixed in the axial direction. The annular projection 14 is connected to the disc 5 only by individual supporting members 16 extending through the disc 7, and is connected to the cage 2 by stays 17. When the layer of material to be centrifuged'is moved to the left, a portion of the said m'aten'al escapes through the gaps between the stays 17 and on to the outermost cage 3. The layer of material to be centrifuged in the outermost cage is further moved to the right relatively to the said cage, which is moved to the left simultaneously with the cage 1, a corresponding quantity-of material being expelled at the end of the cage and thereafter being downwardly discharged through an opening'18 in the housing.
This method of"centrifuging the solid material is rendered possible by the fact that one of each two consecutive cages surrounds the other, an annular gap being left between the two. An annular gap 19 is left between the cage,2 and the cage 1, and an annular gap.20 is left 3 between the cage 3 and the cage 2. Moreover, material fed in a layer on to the inner of each two successive cages is moved forward in the axial direction by the means 10, 12 and 14, whereafter, it is conducted on to the outer cage surrounding the inner cage and is again moved forward axially thereon in a layer within the gap.
The material to be centrifuged is fed to the cage 1 through the distributor shell 11 on, the left-hand side, conveyed to the right by the push-bottom and fed by the annular portion 12 of the cage 2 on the right-hand side, that is to say, on the opposite side to the feed point of the cage 1, and axially moved forward on the cage 2 in the opposite direction to the feed point of the cage 1. The same applies to the cages 3 and 2. Thus, the constructional form illustrated comprises three coaxially arranged separator cages 1, 2, and 3, having between them annular gaps 19 and 20, to which cages the material to be centrifuged is successively fed, and in which in addition the pusher means 10, 12 and 14 are provided, by which the material to be centrifuged is alternately axially moved forward on the successive cages in one direction and in the other.
The cages to which the material is successively fed are furthermore alternately arranged so as to be shiftable and non-shiftable in the axial direction. The shiftable cages 1 and 3 co-operate with the pusher members 10 and 14 which cannot shift in the axial direction, while the non-shiftable cage 2 co-operates with the pusher member 12 which is shiftable in the axial direction and connected to the shiftable cages, for the forward movement of the material to be centrifuged.
In addition, two spray nozzles 21 and 22 are shown in the drawings, by which washing liquid can be fed to the material lying on the cages 1 and 3. The liquid centrifuged from the individual cages is discharged through ducts 23 and 24 into chambers 25 and 26 respectively in the housing. The centrifuged liquid flows directly from the outermost cage 3 into a chamber 27 in the housing.
Instead of the cages 1 and 3 being shiftably arranged and the cage 2 non-shiftable, the same purpose can be achieved by arranging the cages 1 and 3 so that they cannot shift axially, and the cage 2 so that it shifts in the axial direction.
The constructional form illustrated in Figure 2 differs from that according to Figure 1 in that all the cages are arranged to be shiftable in the axial direction and comprise pusher members which are fixed in the axial direction.
Disposed in a housing 28 is a rotor having three separator cages 29, 30 and 31. The said cages are rigidly connected through a disc 32 to the axially displaceable rod 8. For the innermost cage a push-bottom 33 is provided as the pusher member, for the second cage a pusher ring 34, and for the third cage a ring 35. A distributor shell 36 is again connected to the push-bottom 33, into which shell the material to be centrifuged is introduced through a feed pipe 37. All the pusher members are rigidly connected to the hollow driving shaft 6, which is non-displaceable in the axial direction.
When the cages move to the left, the material to be centrifuged passes through a gap 38 between the free end of the cage 29 and the pusher ring 34 on to the cage 30. As the cages return, the layer of material to be centrifuged on the cage 30 in pushed to the left relatively to this cage. The extreme lefthand part of the material is thereby projected through gaps 39 on to the outermost cage 31. When the cages are thereafter moved to the left again, the outermost layer of material is pushed to the right relatively to the cage, a corresponding part of the material being discharged.
The described arrangement has the advantage that the material to be centrifuged which is ejected from one cage on to the next cage always falls directly on to a space freed by the return movement of the pusher member of the next following cage. Temporary banking up of the material to be centrifuged is thus avoided.
Instead of the cages being shiftable and the pusher members fixed in the axial direction, as described, all the cages may be fixed in the axial direction, in which case they will co-operate with pusher members which are shiftable in the axial direction.
In the push-type centrifugal machine according to Figure 3, there are mounted on a disc 43 connected to the hollow driving shaft 6 three foraminous separator cages 44, 45, 46 coaxial in relation to one another, having between them annular gaps 47 and 48. In addition, the thrust rod 8 extending within the hollow shaft is connected to pusher members 49, 50, 51 co-operating with the various cages. The material to be centrifuged is fed through a feed pipe 52 into a flaring distributor shell 53, from which it passes to the first cage 44. All the cages are held against motion in the axial direction, while the pusher members are axially shiftable by the rod 8.
The material ejected to the right from the cage 44 is again conducted through a flaring shell 54 to the lefthand side of the cage and the material ejected to the right from the drum 45 is conducted through a flaring shell 55 to the left-hand side of the cage 46. The flaring shells 54 and 55 are rigidly connected to the separator cages 44, 45 respectively, and extend within the radial space between the consecutive separator cages toward their fixed end. By the movement of the ejecting members, the material to be centrifuged is simultaneously moved forward to the free end on all the cages, and is led back through the shells 54 and 55 in the axial direction in passing from one cage to the next.
Such an arrangement is advantageous in that all the cages are accessible from the delivery side. Means may be provided which, if necessary, feed washing liquid to all the cages. To this end, spray nozzles 56, 57, 58 are provided in the arrangement according to Figure 3. The liquid centrifuged from the cages 44 and 45 is discharged into associated chambers in the housing by corresponding ducts 60 and 59 respectively.
Figure 4 shows a fundamentally similar arrangement, which differs from that according to Figure 3 only in that it comprises three cages 61, 62, 63 which are shiftable in the axial direction and connected to the thrust rod 8. A push-bottom 64 and two pusher rings 65 and 66 are employed as pusher members. In contrast to the construction illustrated in Figure 3, these pusher members are rigidly connected to the hollow shaft 6 through a disc 67 and are therefore fixed in the axial direction. The material to be centrifuged is conducted through a feed pipe 68 to a distributor shell 69 rigidly connected to the push-bottom 64. Two flaring shells 70 and 71 rigidly connected to the pusher members 65 and 66 respectively serve to return the material ejected to the right from the free end of the cages 61 and 62 respectively to the lefthand fixed end of the following cage. Washing liquid is again fed to the material to be centrifuged through the spray nozzles 72, 73, 74.
