In Fig.1 ist eine Sandregeneriereinrichtung zum mechanischen Abreinigen von Sandkörnern, insbesondere von organisch und anorganisch gebundenen Formsanden dargestellt. An einem Gestell 1 ist ein Behälter in Form eines Zylinders 9 angeordnet. Der Zylinder 9 weist einen Deckel 13 auf, an welchem eine Sandzuführung 11 angeordnet ist. An der Innenwandung des Zylinders 9 sind Sandhalteelemente 19 angeordnet, welche ein Rotieren der Sandsäule im Zylinder verhindern. Am Gestell 1 ist ein Leitelement 8 im unteren Bereich des Zylinders 9 angeordnet. Unterhalb des Leitelementes 8 ist ein trichterförmiges Führungselement 6 angeordnet. Im unteren Bereich des Gestelles 1 ist eine Sandabführungseinrichtung 12 in Form eines Trichters ausgebildet, welche in ein Rohr 14 mündet. Durch den Zylinder 9 ist koaxial eine zentrale Antriebswelle 10 angeordnet, welche in einem Absaugungsstutzen 15 endet. Der Absaugungsstutzen 15 ist als kurzes Rohrstück mit einem Anschlussflansch an dessen Ende ausgebildet und dient gleichzeitig als Anschluss an eine Absaugungseinheit. Am unteren Ende der Antriebswelle 10 ist eine Lagerungseinheit 2 angebracht, welche über einen Riementrieb 3 von einem Motor 4 angetrieben wird. Die Antriebswelle 10 ist als Hohlwelle ausgebildet. An dieser Hohlwelle 10 ist ein Teller 7, welcher als Auffangbehälter ausgebildet ist, fest verbunden. Der Teller 7 ist unterhalb des Zylinders 9 angeordnet, wobei der Teller 7 einen bestimmten Abstand zum Zylinder 9 hin aufweist. Somit ergibt sich ein Spalt 16 zwischen Teller 7 und Zylinder 9. Die Spaltbreite ist mittels einer Verstellvorrichtung (24,25) stufenlos einstellbar, wobei die Verstellung vorzugsweise mechanisch betätigt wird. In Fig.1 is a sand regeneration device for mechanical Cleaning sand grains, especially organic and inorganic bound molded sands. On a frame 1 a container in the form of a cylinder 9 is arranged. The cylinder 9 has a lid 13 on which a sand feed 11 is arranged. On the inner wall of the cylinder 9 are arranged sand holding elements 19, which rotate the Prevent sand column in the cylinder. There is a guide element on frame 1 8 arranged in the lower region of the cylinder 9. Below of the guide element 8 is a funnel-shaped guide element 6 arranged. In the lower area of the frame 1 there is a sand removal device 12 in the form of a funnel, which opens into a tube 14. Through the cylinder 9 is coaxial a central drive shaft 10 is arranged, which in a suction nozzle 15 ends. The suction nozzle 15 is short Pipe piece formed with a connecting flange at the end and also serves as a connection to a suction unit. At the lower end of the drive shaft 10 is a bearing unit 2 attached, which via a belt drive 3 from a motor 4 is driven. The drive shaft 10 is as Hollow shaft trained. On this hollow shaft 10 is a plate 7, which is designed as a collecting container, firmly connected. The plate 7 is arranged below the cylinder 9, wherein the plate 7 is at a certain distance from the cylinder 9. This results in a gap 16 between plates 7 and Cylinder 9. The gap width is by means of an adjustment device (24,25) continuously adjustable, the adjustment preferably is operated mechanically.

In Fig. 2 ist der Bereich des Spaltes 16 zwischen dem Teller 7 und dem Zylinder 9 in vergrössertem Massstab dargestellt. Auf den sich zueinander zeigenden Flächen des Tellers 7 und des Zylinders 9 sind radial Reibelemente 20 angeordnet. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Reibelemente 20 einen balligen Querschnitt auf. Sie sind mit dem Teller 7 bzw. dem Zylinder 9 beispielsweise durch ein Gewindestück 21 und eine Mutter 22 austauschbar verbunden. Wegen erhöhter Verschleissgefährdung sind die Reibelemente 20 vorzugsweise aus einem verschleissfesten Werkstoff wie z.B. Keramik, Hartguss, Hartmetall, Metall mit Hartauftrag, usw. hergestellt. Durch verschiedene konstruktive Gestaltungen der Reibelemente 20 kann die Reibungsintensität verändert werden. Die durch Verschleiss gefährdeten Flächen werden mit einem Verschleissschutz 23 versehen.2, the area of the gap 16 between the plate 7 and the cylinder 9 shown on an enlarged scale. On the mutually facing surfaces of the plate 7 and the cylinder 9, radial friction elements 20 are arranged. In this In the exemplary embodiment, the friction elements 20 have a crowned shape Cross section on. You are with the plate 7 and the cylinder 9th for example by a threaded piece 21 and a nut 22 interchangeably connected. Because of increased risk of wear are the friction elements 20 preferably made of a wear-resistant Material such as Ceramics, chilled cast iron, hard metal, metal made with hard coating, etc. Through various constructive Designs of the friction elements 20 can reduce the friction intensity to be changed. The areas at risk from wear are provided with wear protection 23.

In Fig.3 und Fig.4 wird eine weitere Ausführungsvariante der Spaltgeometrie gezeigt. Die Reibelemente 20 weisen einen rechteckigen Querschnitt auf. Sie sind so angeordnet, dass sie nicht oder nur unwesentlich in den Spalt 16 hineinragen.3 and 4 show a further embodiment variant of the Gap geometry shown. The friction elements 20 have a rectangular Cross section on. They are arranged so that they are not or protrude only slightly into the gap 16.

Der zu behandelnde Sand wird vorzugsweise fortlaufend durch die Sandzuführung 11 in den Zylinder 9 geleitet und bildet in diesem eine stehende Sandsäule, die im Bereich des Spaltes durch die Drehbewegung des Tellers 7 aufgerissen wird. In der Trennungsebene zwischen der stehenden Sandsäule und dem sich drehenden Sandanteil auf dem Teller 7 entsteht eine intensive Korn an Korn Reibung. Die Zentrifugalkraft treibt den Sand in dieser Trennungsebene in Richtung Spalt 16. Der Sand wird so durch den Spalt 16 gedrückt, dass durch die geometrische Gestaltung des Spaltes 16 und durch die Drehbewegung des Tellers 7 eine nochmalige und intensivere Korn an Korn Reibung stattfindet. Der Sand fällt aus dem Spalt 16 auf das Leitelement 8 und auf das Führungselement 6. Das Führungselement 6 ist als Kathode ausgebildet. Der Sand, der durch die Reibung eine statisch aufgeladene Binderhülle aufweist, wird beim Auftreffen auf das Führungselement 6 elektrisch entladen. Dadurch kann der Sand wirksamer weiterbehandelt werden. Der so behandelte Sand fällt entweder in eine weitere Reinigungsstufe oder in die Sandabführungseinrichtung 12 und wird dem Sandkreislauf über das Rohr 14 wieder zugeführt. Der bei der Korn an Korn Reibung entstandene Staub und die abgeriebenen Binderanteile werden mit Hilfe der Absaugung durch Öffnungen 17, die in der Hohlwelle im Bereich der Teller 5,7 angebracht sind, fortlaufend durch die Hohlwelle 10 abgesaugt. Die Absaugung erfolgt durch einen schwachen Unterdruck. Im Bereich des Leitelementes 8 sind Einlassöffnungen 18 vorgesehen, durch welche eine Zufuhr von Luft für die Absaugung auch während des Regenerierungsprozesses ermöglicht wird.The sand to be treated is preferably continuously by the Sand feed 11 directed into the cylinder 9 and forms in this a standing sand column that passes through in the area of the gap the rotational movement of the plate 7 is torn open. In the division level between the standing sand column and the rotating one The proportion of sand on the plate 7 creates an intense grain on grain friction. The centrifugal force drives the sand in it Separation level in the direction of gap 16. The sand is thus through the Gap 16 pressed that by the geometric design of the Gap 16 and by the rotary movement of the plate 7 one more time and more intense grain to grain friction takes place. Of the Sand falls out of the gap 16 onto the guide element 8 and onto the Guide element 6. The guide element 6 is designed as a cathode. The sand, which is a statically charged by the friction Binder cover has, when hitting the guide element 6 electrically discharged. This can make the sand more effective be treated further. The sand treated in this way falls either in a further cleaning stage or in the sand removal device 12 and the sand cycle via the pipe 14th fed again. The result of the grain to grain friction Dust and the abraded binder are removed with the help of Suction through openings 17 in the hollow shaft in the area the plate 5,7 are attached, continuously through the hollow shaft 10 aspirated. The suction is done by a weak Vacuum. In the area of the guide element 8 there are inlet openings 18 provided through which a supply of air for extraction even during the regeneration process becomes.

Bei der vorgestellten Einrichtung besteht die Möglichkeit, weitere Reinigungsstufen in Form von Tellern 5 an der Hohlwelle 10 anzubringen. Zu jedem weiteren Teller 5 sind ein Spalt 16, ein Leitelemente 8, ein Führungselemente 6 und Öffnungen 17 in der Hohlwelle 10 angeordnet. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Sand bei jeder weiteren Reinigungsstufe erneut mechanisch gereinigt und elektrisch entladen wird. Die Anzahl der Reinigungsstufen ist beliebig wählbar und somit auf unterschiedliche Anforderungen an den zu regenerierenden Sand anpassbar.With the presented facility there is the possibility of further Cleaning stages in the form of plates 5 on the hollow shaft 10 to attach. There are a gap 16, for each further plate 5 Guide elements 8, a guide elements 6 and openings 17 in the Hollow shaft 10 arranged. This ensures that the sand mechanically cleaned at every further cleaning stage and is discharged electrically. The number of cleaning levels is freely selectable and therefore to meet different requirements adaptable to the sand to be regenerated.

Der Antrieb der Teller 5 ist so konzipiert, dass die Regenerierungseinheiten mit unterschiedlichen, stufenlos verstellbaren Drehzahlen betrieben werden können. Besonders günstig hat sich eine Drehzahl von 300-1500 U/min erwiesen.The drive of the plate 5 is designed so that the regeneration units with different, continuously adjustable Speeds can be operated. Has been particularly cheap proven a speed of 300-1500 U / min.

Ein Chargenbetrieb ist mit dieser Vorrichtung möglich. Dabei wird die Vorrichtung mit einer Reinigungsstufe ausgestattet und der Sand beliebig oft im Kreislauf durch die Reinigungsstufe geleitet.Batch operation is possible with this device. Here the device is equipped with a cleaning stage and the sand can be circulated through the cleaning stage as often as required headed.
