Abstract

The invention relates to a sealing arrangement for flat wall elements or similar, e.g. pasta dryers. The aim of the invention is to seal separation joints (4) against penetrating gases or steam. Said aim is achieved by placing level sealing elements on both sides of the separation joint (4), said sealing elements being braced against each other by means of connecting means.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dichtungsanordnung für flächige Elemente oder Wandelemente für Trockner von Teigwaren und dergleichen.The invention relates to a sealing arrangement for flat elements or wall elements for dryers of pasta and the like.

Es ist bekannt, flächige Elemente, zum Beispiel flächige Wandelemente gegen den Durchlass von gasförmigen oder flüssigen aber auch festen Stoffen abzudichten. Dies kann durch Dichtungsmassen oder Klebstoffe erfolgen, die aber zu einer Verschmutzung oder dauerhaften Verbindung der Wandelemente führen. Weiterhin ist es zum Beispiel aus der EP-A-685255 bekannt, die Auslassklappen eines Mischerbehälters mittels Andrückrolle und Dichtschlauch im Betriebszustand abzudichten. Hierbei drückt nach Einschwenken eines Riegels die Andrückrolle gegen die Überlappungsstelle der Klappen. Ein aufblasbarer Dichtschlauch dichtet die jeweils gegenüberliegende Klappenseite ab. Vor dem Öffnen der Klappen muss der Dichtschlauch entlüftet werden.It is known to seal flat elements, for example flat wall elements against the passage of gaseous or liquid but also solid substances. This can be done by sealants or adhesives, but lead to contamination or permanent connection of the wall elements. Furthermore, it is known, for example from EP-A-685255, to seal the outlet flaps of a mixer tank by means of a pressure roller and sealing hose in the operating state. After pressing in a bolt, the pressure roller presses against the overlapping point of the flaps. An inflatable sealing tube seals the respective opposite flap side. Before opening the flaps, the sealing hose must be vented.

Weitere Dichtungsanordnungen sind aus den Dokumenten DE-A-3734818, DE-A-1804043 und US-3175652 bekannt.Further sealing arrangements are known from the documents DE-A-3734818, DE-A-1804043 and US-3175652.

Bei der Anordnung der DE-A-3734818 ist aber kein Lageausgleich parallel zur Ebene der Trennfuge zwischen zwei benachbarten Wandelementen möglich, weil eine starre Verbindung zwischen den Spannelementen der Dichtungselemente und dem starren Rahmen des Trockners vorliegt.In the arrangement of DE-A-3734818 but no position compensation is possible parallel to the plane of the parting line between two adjacent wall elements, because there is a rigid connection between the clamping elements of the sealing elements and the rigid frame of the dryer.

Die Anordnung der DE-A-1804043 und der US-3175652 verwendet in der Trennfuge angeordnete Dichtungselemente, wobei die Stirnflächen aneinandergrenzender Wandelemente beiderseits der Trennfuge speziell geformte und zu den in der Trennfuge angeordneten Dichtungselementen komplementäre Formationen aufweisen müssen.The arrangement of DE-A-1804043 and US-3175652 uses sealing elements arranged in the parting line, wherein the end faces of adjoining wall elements on both sides of the parting line have to have specially shaped formations complementary to the sealing elements arranged in the parting line.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Dichtungsanordnung für flächige Elemente oder Wandelemente, von Teigwarentrocknem zu schaffen, die ein einfaches Verbinden von solchen Elementen bei gleichzeitiger Abdichtung der Verbindungsstelle ermöglichen. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den aufgezeigten Merkmalen des Anspruchs. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen offenbart.The invention is an object of the invention to provide a seal assembly for sheet elements or wall elements of Teigwarentrocknem, which is a simple Allow connection of such elements while sealing the joint. The solution of this task is carried out with the indicated features of the claim. Advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the subclaims.

Kennzeichnend ist hierbei, dass die Verbindung ohne Überlappung der Elemente erfolgt und somit auch die Montage bzw. Demontage mit einfachen Mitteln erfolgen kann. Zudem ist ein Ausgleich von, insbesondere temperaturbedingten Lage-bzw. Massabweichungen möglich.Characteristic here is that the connection without overlapping of the elements takes place and thus the assembly or disassembly can be done with simple means. In addition, a compensation of, in particular temperature-induced situation or. Mass deviations possible.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an zwei Beispielen an Hand einer Zeichnung näher beschrieben. In der Zeichnung zeigt die

Figur 1:
eine Dichtungsanordnung in Form einer Deckenplattendichtung
Figur 2:
eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Dichtungsstosses.
The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to two examples with reference to a drawing. In the drawing shows the
FIG. 1:
a seal assembly in the form of a ceiling plate seal
FIG. 2:
a further embodiment of a sealing joint.

Ein Etagentrockner für Teigwaren, wie er zum Beispiel in der WO 85/00090 oder der nicht vorveröffentlichten DE 10158446.6 der Anmelderin beschrieben ist, weist einzelne Trocknerabteile auf, die wiederum eine äussere Verschalung aufweisen. Die Verschalung besteht aus einzelnen, geformten Platten.A floor dryer for pasta, as described, for example, in WO 85/00090 or the applicant's unpublished DE 10158446.6, has individual dryer compartments, which in turn have an outer casing. The shuttering consists of individual, shaped plates.

Im Beispiel ist eine Deckenplatte 1 mit einer weiteren Deckenplatte 2 verbunden (Fig. 1). Die Verbindung erfolgt stumpf an den Stirnflächen 3 bzw. 3'. Dabei ist weder eine dichtende Anlage der Stirnflächen 3 und 3' gegeneinander erforderlich noch eine besondere Feinbearbeitung der Stirnflächen 3, 3', so dass an die Trennfuge 4 keine besonderen Anforderungen gestellt werden.In the example, a ceiling plate 1 is connected to a further ceiling plate 2 (FIG. 1). The connection is blunt at the end faces 3 and 3 '. In this case, neither a sealing contact of the end faces 3 and 3 'against each other required nor a special finishing of the end faces 3, 3', so that no special requirements are placed on the parting line 4.

Parallel zur Stirnfläche 3, 3' weisen die Platten 1 bzw. 2 jeweils Durchgangs- oder Sacklochbohrungen 5 auf. Auf der Innenseite der Trennfuge 4 ist eine Deckentraverse 6 mit einer ebenen Auflagefläche und Durchgangsbohrungen analog zu den Durchgangsbohrungen 5 der Platten 1, 2 aufgesetzt und auf der Aussenseite eine ebene Dichtleiste 7 mit analogen Durchgangsbohrungen. Auf das Dichtblech kann eine weitere Traverse 8 aufgesetzt sein. Die lagefixierte Befestigung der einzelnen Elemente erfolgt wie abgebildet mittels Verschraubungen 9.Parallel to the end face 3, 3 ', the plates 1 and 2 each have through holes or blind bores 5. On the inside of the parting line 4, a ceiling cross member 6 with a flat support surface and through holes analogous to the through holes 5 of the plates 1, 2 is placed and on the outside a flat sealing strip 7 with analog through holes. On the sealing plate, a further traverse 8 may be placed. The fixed position fixing of the individual elements takes place as shown by means of screw 9.

Die äusseren Bereiche der Dichtleiste 7 sind parallel zum Verlauf der Dichtfuge 4 L-förmig geformt, so dass zusätzlich zwischen Dichtleiste 7 und Platten 1, 2 ein flexibles Dichtelement, hier ein Silikonschlauch 10 eingelegt werden kann.The outer regions of the sealing strip 7 are parallel to the course of the sealing joint 4 L-shaped, so that in addition between the sealing strip 7 and plates 1, 2, a flexible sealing element, here a silicone tube 10 can be inserted.

Infolge der Verschraubungen 9 ist somit eine ausreichende Abdichtung der Trennfuge 4 gegen den Durchtritt von Dampf oder Gasen gegeben. Im Bedarfsfalls kann jedoch, wie abgebildet noch ein weiteres Dichtblech 11 zwischen der Trennfuge 4 und der Dichtleiste 7 bzw. der Deckentraverse 6 vorgesehen sein.As a result of the screw 9 is thus given a sufficient seal of the parting line 4 against the passage of steam or gases. If necessary, however, as shown, another sealing plate 11 may be provided between the parting line 4 and the sealing strip 7 or the top cross member 6.

Ein Lageausgleich senkrecht zur Ebene der Trennfuge 4 ist möglich.A position compensation perpendicular to the plane of the parting line 4 is possible.

Bei einem Dichtungsstoss gemäss Fig. 2 sind zwei Verschalungsteile 20, 21 eines Etagentrockners unter Bildung einer Trennfuge 4 dicht miteinander verbunden, wobei ein Lageausgleich parallel zur Trennfuge 4 möglich ist.In a sealing joint according to FIG. 2, two shuttering parts 20, 21 of a floor dryer are tightly connected to form a parting line 4, wherein a position compensation parallel to the parting line 4 is possible.

Sowohl auf der Innenseite als auch auf der Aussenseite der Trennfuge 4 ist wiederum über deren ganze Länge eine Dichtleiste 7 angeordnet, die je einen Silikonschlauch 10 rechts und links von der Trennfuge 4 enthält. Auf der Aussenseite des Dichtungsstosses befindet sich zusätzlich zwischen der Dichtleiste 7 und den Verschalungsteilen 20, 21 noch ein Deckblech 22 (analog zum Dichtblech 11). Beide Dichtleisten 7 werden wie im ersten Beispiel mittels einer Verschraubung 9 gegeneinander verspannt und dichten die Trennfuge zuverlässig ab.Both on the inside and on the outside of the parting line 4, a sealing strip 7 is in turn arranged over its entire length, each containing a silicone tube 10 to the right and left of the parting line 4. On the outside of the sealing joint is additionally between the sealing strip 7 and the shuttering parts 20, 21 nor a cover plate 22 (analogous to the sealing plate 11). Both sealing strips 7 are braced against each other as in the first example by means of a screw 9 and seal the parting line reliably.
