Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schleuse zum Zu und/oder Abführen gasförmiger oder flüssiger Medien in eine Tunnelwaschmaschine, bei der zwischen Dichtlippen eine ortsfeste Rinne zur Aufnahme von Aggregaten angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a lock for supplying and / or discharging gaseous or liquid media into a tunnel washing machine, in which a fixed channel for receiving units is arranged between sealing lips.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Tunnelwaschmaschinen.The present invention relates to tunnel washing machines.

Derartige Tunnelwaschmaschinen bestehen aus längeren liegend angeordneten Zylindern, in denen Wäsche in industriellem Maßstab gewaschen wird.Tunnel washing machines of this type consist of longer cylinders arranged horizontally, in which laundry is washed on an industrial scale.

Um diesen Maschinen gasförmige oder flüssige Medien zuzuführen, besitzen bekannte Tunnelwaschmaschinen auf aufgeschweißten Ringen angeordnete gegeneinander anliegende, nach innen weisende Dichtlippen.Zwischen diese Lippen werden lanzenförmige Injektoren eingeführt. Bei umlaufender Maschine reibt diese Dichtung an der stehenden Lanze.In order to supply gaseous or liquid media to these machines, known tunnel washing machines have sealing lips that lie against one another and face inwards and are arranged on welded rings. Lance-shaped injectors are inserted between these lips. When the machine is rotating, this seal rubs against the standing lance.

Diese Lösung hat Nachteile. Einmal ist der durch die Lippen gebildete Raum relativ klein. Zum anderen sind die Lippen sehr anfällig gegen gerade bei stark verschmutzter Wäsche hohen Sandanteil.This solution has disadvantages. For one thing, the space formed by the lips is relatively small. On the other hand, the lips are very susceptible to a high proportion of sand, especially in heavily soiled laundry.

Letztlich ist es erforderlich,bei Verschleiß die gesamte Lippe auszutauschen.Ultimately, it is necessary to replace the entire lip if it is worn.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich demgegenüber die Aufgabe gestellt, ein Dichtsystem zu schaffen, das Platz läßt. für die Unterbringung extern anzuordnender Aggregate (Heizung) und bei dem bei Verschleiß nicht die gesamten Lippen verworfen werden müssen.In contrast, the present invention has set itself the task of creating a sealing system that leaves space. For the accommodation of units to be arranged externally (heating) and where the entire lips do not have to be discarded when worn.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Schleuse zum Zu- oder Abführen gasförmiger oder flüssiger Medien in eine umlaufende Tunnelwaschmaschine mit Hilfe von am Tunnel angeordneten Dichtlippen zwischen denen der Tunnel Perforationen aufweist, bei der zwischen den Lippen eine den Tunnel mindestens bis zur Höhe des Wasserspiegels umgreifende Rinne angeordnet ist, gegen dessen vertikale Flanken die Lippen anliegen.This object is achieved by a lock for supplying or discharging gaseous or liquid media into a rotating tunnel washing machine with the aid of sealing lips arranged on the tunnel, between which the tunnel has perforations, in which between the lips a channel encompassing the tunnel at least up to the level of the water level is arranged, against whose vertical flanks the lips rest.

Die Rinne umgreift die Tunnelwaschmaschine mindestens bis zum Wasserspiegel, vorzugsweise, um Dämpfe nicht nach außen treten zu lassen,jedoch ganz. Die Rinne ist dabei zum Mantel des Tunnels hin offen.The channel surrounds the tunnel washing machine at least to the water level, preferably so that vapors do not escape, but completely. The channel is open to the shell of the tunnel.

Dadurch ist es erstmals möglich, die Abstände der Dichtlippen voneinander so zu vergrößern, daß die notwendigen Aggregate ohne konstruktiven Aufwand in den Wasserumlauf außerhalb des Tunnels eingebaut werden können.This makes it possible for the first time to increase the spacing of the sealing lips from one another so that the necessary units can be installed in the water circulation outside the tunnel without any design effort.

So kann nunmehr ein gesamtes Heizungssystem, z.B. in Form von Schlangen, eingebaut werden, wobei der Wärmetransport durch die Wandung der Schlange vor sich geht, wohingegen beim Stand der Technik Dampfinjektoren nur begrenzter Durchmesser benutzt werden mußten.An entire heating system, e.g. in the form of snakes, where the heat is transported through the wall of the snake, whereas in the prior art steam injectors only had to be used with a limited diameter.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, auf den Lippen Verschleißringe lösbar zu montieren. Diese reiben dichtend auf den vertikalen Flanken der Rinne und können bei Bedarf von den Lippen abgenommen und ausgetauscht werden.Furthermore, it is proposed to detachably mount wear rings on the lips. These rub against the vertical Flanks of the channel and can be removed from the lips and replaced if necessary.

In der Rinne kann erstmals ein Sandfang in Form eines Sumpfes angeordnet sein, mit dessen Hilfe grobe, nicht dispergierbare Substanzen ausgeschleust werden können.A sand trap in the form of a sump can be arranged in the channel for the first time, with the aid of which coarse, non-dispersible substances can be discharged.

Um diese groben Teile von den empfindlichen Dichtflächen fernzuhalten, wird letztlich vorgeschlagen, am Tunnel in die Rinne weisende Ableitbleche anzuordnen.In order to keep these coarse parts away from the sensitive sealing surfaces, it is ultimately proposed to arrange deflector plates pointing into the channel at the tunnel.

Anhand der nachfolgenden Figurenbeschreibung wird die vorliegende Erfindung näher erläutert.The present invention is explained in more detail with the aid of the following description of the figures.

Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 einen Längsschnitt durch die Schleuse;
  • Fig. 2 einen Querschnitt.
It shows:
  • 1 shows a longitudinal section through the lock.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross section.

Die Dichtlippen 1 sind befestigt auf den Tunnel 8 umgreifenden Ringen 12ian den vertikalen Flanken 3 der Rinne 2 liegen diese an. Bei Rotation des Tunnels gleiten sie auf den Flanken 3 und dichten den Naßraum nach außen ab. In den Ringen 12 kann ein (nicht dargestellter) Ablauf vorgesehen werden.The sealing lips 1 are fastened on the rings 8 encompassing the tunnel 8 and the vertical flanks 3 of the channel 2 rest against them. As the tunnel rotates, they slide on flanks 3 and seal the wet area from the outside. A drain (not shown) can be provided in the rings 12.

Die Waschlauge drückt dabei die Lippen 1 gegen die Flanken 3 und sorgt für Kühlung und Schmierung. Die Rinne selbst steht still und ist am Fundament des die Maschine aufnehmenden Gebäudes gelagert.The wash liquor presses the lips 1 against the flanks 3 and provides cooling and lubrication. The gutter itself stands quiet and is stored on the foundation of the building that houses the machine.

In der Rinne 2 kann eine großvolumige Dampfzuführung 13 oder ein Heizschlangensystem (4) angeordnet sein. über den Bodenablauf 14 kann Flüssigkeit oder bei Ausbildung und Verwendung der Rinne 1 als Sumpf, z.B. mit schrägem Boden 10 grober Schmutz abgezogen werden.A large-volume steam supply 13 or a heating coil system (4) can be arranged in the channel 2. Via the floor drain 14, liquid or, if the channel 1 is designed and used as a sump, e.g. 10 coarse dirt can be removed with a sloping bottom.

Auf den Lippen 1 sind Dichtringe 7 dargestellt, die nach Verschleiß ausgetauscht werden können.On the lips 1 sealing rings 7 are shown, which can be replaced after wear.

Der Rinne 2 zugewandt weist der Tunnel 8 Perforationen- 11 auf, an dessen Rändern Ableitbleche 9 befestigt sein können, um den auszuschleusenden Schmutz daran zu hindern, zwischen die dichtenden, sich relativ zueinander bewegenden Flächen zu gelangen.Facing the channel 2, the tunnel 8 has perforations 11, on the edges of which deflector plates 9 can be fastened in order to prevent the dirt to be discharged from getting between the sealing surfaces which move relative to one another.

Figur 2 zeigt im Querschnitt den Tunnel 8 im Schnitt A - A. Die Rinne 2 ist hier im Bodenbereich derart erweitert, daß eine liegende Heizschlange 4 darin Platz findet. Die Rinne umgreift den Tunnel 8 in dieser Darstellung nicht vollständig, sondern endet über dem Badspiegel 6.Figure 2 shows in cross section the tunnel 8 in section A - A. The channel 2 is expanded here in the bottom area so that a lying heating coil 4 can be accommodated therein. The channel does not completely surround the tunnel 8 in this illustration, but ends above the bathroom mirror 6.
