Definitions
- a screw conveyor with a cone-shaped end part is indeed off GB 666 686 A known, but there it is arranged horizontally and the screw tube has, in the flow direction over no conical taper.
- These augers are also consistently designed for much higher fire performance and they do not succeed with them to drive the fire power down to less than 1 kW, by simply shrinking these augers in their geometry or reduces the rotational speed of the screw conveyor.
- Conventional screw conveyors are usually arranged at an angle and work like an Archimedes screw.
- the known pellet screw conveyors are not suitable for a compact wood stove of small dimensions. Another observed problem is that with slow feed from the pellets from below into the fire, there is a risk that the fire will slowly migrate down into the auger.
- the object of the present invention to provide an improved kiln feed device for granular combustible material for a furnace for powers down to less than 1 kW.
- This furnace is to ensure the continuous supply and the continuous burning of the supplied granular combustible material, and also ensure the continuous ash removal, allowing a long unattended operation of the furnace, which is limited only by the size of the Brenngutreservoirs and the ash catcher, so far these reservoirs are not automatically filled or emptied.
- a kiln feed device for granular kiln for a furnace for performances down to less than 1 kW which has a conveyor arranged in a screw conveyor for the conveyance of the granular material, and which is characterized in that the central screw axis of the screw screw, on the outer wall of the screw winding is mounted and with which together the screw conveyor is rotatably mounted in the tube , fills at least a quarter of the pipe diameter, further that this screw axis pipe runs up as a cone in a tip, above the screw a circular grid with central round hole and air supply openings in the outer region of the grate is arranged horizontally, which hole is smaller than the diameter of the screw conveyor is and wherein from its edge a conically widening wall as a sliding wall for the fuel to be conveyed runs downwards, which runs approximately or exactly parallel to the cone of the upper end of the screw axis.
- the FIG. 1 shows such a conveyor for granular firing for a furnace, which is designed for benefits of down to less than 1 KW.
- the kiln can consist of wood pellets, but also of wood chips, small pieces of wood or dried corn or other grains.
- the grate 1 of the furnace cooperates with the feed device, and this is equipped with a screw conveyor 2.
- the screw conveyor 2 is arranged in the example shown perpendicular to the grate surface and the central screw axis tube 3, on the outer wall 4, the screw 5 is mounted and with which together the screw conveyor 2 is rotatably mounted in the conveyor tube 8, fills a handsome Part of the delivery pipe 8, which encloses the entire screw conveyor 2.
- the conveyor tube 8 with the screw conveyor 2 can also be arranged obliquely to the perpendicular. It is then achieved on the bottom of additional friction of the fuel with the delivery pipe 8, which is beneficial to the promotion.
- the tube diameter of the screw axis tube 3 measures one third of the screw diameter or the tube diameter, and measures, for example, 60 mm.
- the diameter of the screw axis tube 3 should be at least a quarter of the screw conveyor diameter, because thus also a sufficient torque on the actual screw 2 and on the helical to the screw axis tube 3 wound smoothest possible conveying surface 5 are transmitted.
- On the conveying surface 5 of the screw 2 here is a single wood pellet 18 drawn to give an approximate size comparison.
- This screw axis tube 3 runs up as a cone 10 in a tip, wherein above the screw 2, the grate 1 is arranged horizontally with a central circular hole 6. It fits exactly on the upper end of the auger axle tube 8 and is placed on this.
- the grate 1 is preferably circular as shown and penetrated in the outer region with air supply openings 7.
- the circular hole 6 in the grate 1 measures approximately half of the delivery pipe diameter. From this circular hole 6 includes a downwardly projecting, funnel-shaped edge 9, which opens as a funnel down.
- the funnel wall runs almost or exactly parallel to the cone 10 on the worm axis tube 3.
- the cone 10 encloses an acute angle with the running direction of the funnel inner wall, the angle tip being at the top. This angle may only be very small, otherwise a jamming of the fuel in the area between the cone 10 and the funnel inner wall is provoked.
- the actual screw 2 or its winding conveying surface 5 terminates with an approximately perpendicular to the grate surface extension 11.
- the inside of the tube 8 is equipped with a plurality of preferably axially extending plateaus or grooves 14, on which the auger turns past with a minimum distance, and between the plateaus or grooves a distance of the height of the plateaus or grooves to the inner wall of the tube 8 leaves open.
- the inner wall of the tube 8 may also be provided with a rough surface.
- the screw 2 rotates only very slowly, with a rotational speed of less than 1 U / min -1 .
- the kiln is captured by the extension 11 and pushed clockwise as seen from above.
- its absolute speed is only about 1.5-2.0 mm / s.
- FIG. 2 If one sees the screw conveyor and the delivery pipe 8 in a cross section. Here you can see the grooves or the elevations 14 on the inside of the conveying tube 8, and a segment of the actual screw, 2 with its outer edge just past these elevations 14. 1.
- the kiln parts find at these ridges or grooves a backing, which helps avoid that they rotate with the screw conveyor 2.
- the rotation of the screw conveyor 2, which slides under the kiln, yes causes a force component which points radially outwards. Accordingly, the firing material is pressed against the inner wall of the conveying tube 8 and finds a hold on the elevations.
- the FIG. 3 shows the screw conveyor 2 in its entire height. It measures between 200mm to 800mm in height and between 55mm and 85mm in diameter.
- the auger axle tube 3 measures one-quarter to a little over one-third of the diameter in diameter, and the pitch of the auger per revolution is about one-half auger diameter.
- Below the conveyor pipe 8 can be completely in a pile of kiln parts, or in a box 15, which can be fed from above or via, for example, an inclined surface 16 as a granulated material with kiln.
- the conveying tube 8 is open at the bottom on one side, and through this opening 17 in the conveying tube 8 trickle the kiln pieces, in the example shown cylindrical wood pellets, the screw 2 after.
- the kiln feed device for such wood stoves for powers of less than 1 kW is equipped with an electric motor which drives the screw 2 via a reduction gear.
- the rotational speed of the screw conveyor 2 can be adjusted from 0.5 to 2 revolutions per minute and thus the supply amount of firing material per time and thus the heating power can be regulated.

Description
Das Verbrennen von klein portioniertem und daher granulatförmigem Brenngut, etwa von Holzpellets, Holzschnitzeln, kleinen Holzstücken oder auch getrocknetem Mais erweist sich als energetisch günstig und praktisch in der Handhabung. Es müssen nicht grosse und unhandliche Holzstücke transportiert und zwischengelagert werden und auch keine grossen Holzscheite dem Feuer zugeführt werden. Aber das Dosieren der Feuerleistung nach unten zu einem tiefen Wert bereitet Schwierigkeiten. Soll nämlich ein geeigneter Ofen für solches granulatförmiges Brenngut, zum Beispiel ein Holzpellet-Ofen, mit nur einer geringen Leistung von weniger als 1 kW als betrieben werden, so gibt es hierzu bisher keine geeignete Brenngut-Zufuhreinrichtung, um ein solch schwaches Feuer kontinuierlich und sicher aufrechtzuerhalten. Bei solch geringen Leistungen besteht die Schwierigkeit nämlich erstens darin, das Feuer sicher am Brennen zu halten, zweitens die Asche laufend abzutransportieren, und drittens zu verhindern, dass sich das Feuer in den Zufuhrstrom des Brenngutes vorfrisst.The burning of small portioned and therefore granular firewood, such as wood pellets, wood chips, small pieces of wood or dried corn proves to be energetically favorable and convenient to use. It does not have large and unwieldy pieces of wood to be transported and stored and also no large logs to be fed to the fire. But dosing the firing power down to a low value is difficult. Namely, if a suitable furnace for such granular firing, for example, a wood pellet furnace, with only a small power of less than 1 kW as operated, there is so far no suitable combustor feed device to such a weak fire continuously and safely maintain. Namely, at such low powers, the difficulty is, first, to keep the fire burning safely, second, to continuously carry off the ashes, and, thirdly, to prevent the fire from feeding into the feed stream of the burning material.
Es gibt bereits Förderschnecken zu Holzpellet-Öfen, welche dem Feuer kontinuierlich oder nur bei Bedarf Holzpellets zuführen. Aus der
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine verbesserte Brenngut-Zufuhreinrichtung für granulatförmiges Brenngut für einen Ofen für Leistungen bis hinunter zu weniger als 1 kW zu schaffen. Dieser Ofen soll die kontinuierliche Zufuhr und das kontinuierliche Verbrennen des zugeführten granulatförmigen Brenngutes sicherstellen, und auch den kontinuierlichen Ascheabtransport sicherstellen, sodass ein langer unbeaufsichtigter Betrieb des Ofens ermöglicht wird, der nur durch die Grösse des Brenngut-Reservoirs sowie des Aschefängers zeitlich begrenzt ist, soweit diese Reservoirs nicht automatisch befüllt bzw. entleert werden.Starting from this prior art it is the object of the present invention to provide an improved kiln feed device for granular combustible material for a furnace for powers down to less than 1 kW. This furnace is to ensure the continuous supply and the continuous burning of the supplied granular combustible material, and also ensure the continuous ash removal, allowing a long unattended operation of the furnace, which is limited only by the size of the Brenngutreservoirs and the ash catcher, so far these reservoirs are not automatically filled or emptied.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst von einer Brenngut-Zufuhreinrichtung für granulatförmiges Brenngut für einen Ofen für Leistungen bis hinunter zu weniger als 1 kW, der eine in einem Rohr angeordnete Förderschnecke für die Zuförderung des granulatförmigen Brenngutes aufweist, und die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass das zentrale Schneckenachsenrohr der Förderschnecke, an dessen Aussenwand die Schneckenwindung angebracht ist und mit welcher zusammen die Förderschnecke im Rohr drehbar gelagert ist, mindestens einen Viertel des Rohrdurchmessers ausfüllt, weiter dass dieses Schneckenachsenrohr oben als Konus in eine Spitze ausläuft, wobei oberhalb der Schnecke ein kreisrunder Rost mit zentralem rundem Loch und Luftzufuhröffnungen im äusseren Bereich des Rostes horizontal angeordnet ist, welches Loch kleiner als der Durchmesser der Förderschnecke ist und wobei von seinem Rand aus eine sich konisch erweiternde Wand als Gleitwand für das zu fördernde Brenngut nach abwärts ausläuft, die annähernd oder genau parallel zum Konus des oberen Endes der Schneckenachse verläuft.This object is achieved by a kiln feed device for granular kiln for a furnace for performances down to less than 1 kW, which has a conveyor arranged in a screw conveyor for the conveyance of the granular material, and which is characterized in that the central screw axis of the screw screw, on the outer wall of the screw winding is mounted and with which together the screw conveyor is rotatably mounted in the tube , fills at least a quarter of the pipe diameter, further that this screw axis pipe runs up as a cone in a tip, above the screw a circular grid with central round hole and air supply openings in the outer region of the grate is arranged horizontally, which hole is smaller than the diameter of the screw conveyor is and wherein from its edge a conically widening wall as a sliding wall for the fuel to be conveyed runs downwards, which runs approximately or exactly parallel to the cone of the upper end of the screw axis.
Anhand der Zeichnungen wird die Zufuhreinrichtung für das granulatförmige Brenngut vorgestellt und nachfolgend beschrieben und ihre Funktion wird erklärt.
Es zeigt:

- Einen Querschnitt durch die Förderschnecke, von oben gesehen;

- The entire screw conveyor seen from the side, shown in a longitudinal section.
Das langsame Hochfördern von granulatförmigem Brenngut, welches in der Regel aus zylinderförmigen Holzpellets von etwa 6mm Dicke und bis zu 50mm Länge besteht, die jedoch im Zuge der Förderung zu kürzeren Teilchen gebrochen werden, erweist sich als schwieriger als man es erwarten würde. Mit einer gewöhnlichen Förderschnecke, die oben einfach in der Ebene eines Rostes mündet, beobachtet man folgende Probleme: Zunächst besteht eine grosse Gefahr, dass die Pellets in der Förderschnecke einander gegenseitig verkeilen und sozusagen verklumpen. Es wird dann eine gewissermassen monolithisch wirkende Masse gebildet, welche infolge von Verklemmungen wie ein Pfropfen wirkt und zur Blockierung der Förderschnecke führt, auch wenn diese mit grossen Drehmomenten angetrieben wird. Bei einer Förderschnecke ist es wichtig, dass die Schneckenwindung möglichst gut gleitend unter dem Fördergut wegdreht und das Fördergut muß, ohne im Förderrohr wesentlich gedreht zu werden, nach oben wandern. Mit sogenannten Pellets oder ähnlichem granulatförmigen Brenngut gelingt das über geringe Förderstrecken recht gut. Wenn aber die Förderschnecke zum Beispiel 400mm und länger ist, für eine entsprechende Förderhöhe, so wird aufgrund der Gewichtslast des Brenngutes eine Verkeilung und Verklumpung beobachtet. Das hängt unter anderem von der Drehgeschwindigkeit und Geometrie der Förderschnecke ab, von der Grösse und Holzart der granulatförmigen Brenngut-Stücke und nicht zuletzt auch von der Luftfeuchtigkeit. Will man einen Ofen mit einer geringen Heizleistung konstruieren, so muß eine sehr geringe Zufuhrleistung von Brenngut erreicht werden. Wenn nun Holzpellets von zum Beispiel 6mm Durchmesser und 10 bis 25mm Länge möglichst langsam über eine Förderhöhe von mehr als 400mm hochgefördert werden sollen, so treten die oben erwähnten Probleme besonders häufig auf. Es ist daher wichtig, eine Brenngut-Zufuhreinrichtung für granulatförmiges Brenngut zu schaffen, mit welcher diese Probleme zuverlässig vermieden werden.The slow upfeed of granular firing material, which usually consists of cylindrical wood pellets of about 6mm thickness and up to 50mm in length, but are broken in the course of promotion to shorter particles, proves to be more difficult than one would expect. With an ordinary auger, the top simply in the plane of a grate One observes the following problems: First, there is a great risk that the pellets in the auger each other wedge each other and clump together, so to speak. It is then formed to a certain extent monolithic mass, which acts as a plug due to jamming and blocking the screw conveyor, even if it is driven with high torques. In a screw conveyor, it is important that the auger turns as well as possible sliding under the conveyed material and the conveyed must, without being substantially rotated in the conveyor tube, move upwards. With so-called pellets or similar granular firing succeeds over small distances quite well. If, however, the auger is 400 mm or longer, for a corresponding delivery height, wedging and agglomeration is observed due to the weight load of the kiln. This depends, among other things, on the rotational speed and geometry of the screw conveyor, on the size and type of wood of the granular pieces of firewood and, last but not least, on the humidity of the air. If you want to construct a stove with a low heat output, a very low supply of fuel must be achieved. If wood pellets of, for example, 6 mm in diameter and 10 to 25 mm in length are to be conveyed as slowly as possible over a conveying height of more than 400 mm, then the above-mentioned problems occur particularly frequently. It is therefore important to provide a kiln feed device for granular fuel with which these problems are reliably avoided.
Die
Der Rost 1 ist vorzugsweise wie gezeigt kreisrund ausgeführt und im äusseren Bereich mit Luftzufuhröffnungen 7 durchsetzt. Das kreisrunde Loch 6 im Rost 1 mißt ungefähr die Hälfte des Förderrohr-Durchmessers. Von diesem kreisrunden Loch 6 schliesst ein nach unten auskragender, trichterförmiger Rand 9 an, wobei sich dieser als Trichter nach unten öffnet. Die Trichterwand verläuft nahezu oder genau parallel zum Konus 10 am Schneckenachsenrohr 3. Im gezeigten Beispiel schliesst der Konus 10 mit der Verlaufrichtung der Trichterinnenwand einen spitzen Winkel ein, wobei die Winkelspitze oben liegt. Dieser Winkel darf nur sehr klein sein, sonst wird ein Verklemmen des Brenngutes im Bereich zwischen dem Konus 10 und der Trichterinnenwand provoziert. Die eigentliche Schnecke 2 bzw. deren gewundene Förderfläche 5 schliesst mit einem etwa senkrecht zur Rostoberfläche verlaufenden Fortsatz 11 ab. Die in Bezug auf die Drehachse äussere Seite des Fortsatzes schliesst bündig an den Innenrand des Loches 6 an. Diese Förderschnecke 2 wie hier gezeigt dreht im Betrieb von oben gesehen im Uhrzeigersinn. Selbstverständlich könnte sie auch so konstruiert sein, dass im Gegenuhrzeigersinn fördert. Das zu fördernde Brenngut bleibt in Bezug auf seine Drehlage im Förderrohr 8 annähernd an der gleichen Stelle, und die Förderfläche 5 der Schnecke 2 gleitet unter dem Brenngut hindurch, wobei es im Förderrohr 8 nach oben gehoben wird, bis es schließlich auf der Höhe des Loches 6 ankommt. Wichtig für eine zuverlässige Förderung des Brenngutes durch die Förderschnecke erweist sich auch, daß die Innenseite des Rohrs 8 mit mehreren vorzugsweise axial verlaufenden Plateaus oder Rillen 14 ausgerüstet ist, an denen die Schneckenwindung mit minimalem Abstand vorbeidreht, und zwischen den Plateaus oder Rillen einen Abstand von der Höhe der Plateaus oder Rillen zur Innenwand des Rohrs 8 freilässt. Für den gleichen Zweck kann die Innenwand des Rohrs 8 auch mit einer rauen Oberfläche versehen sein.The
Die Förderschnecke 2 dreht allerdings nur sehr langsam, mit einer Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit von weniger als 1 U/min-1. Oben angekommen wird das Brenngut vom Fortsatz 11 erfasst und von oben gesehen im Uhrzeigersinn herum geschoben. Dort wo der Fortsatz den Rand des Loches 6 quasi berührt, beträgt seine absolute Geschwindigkeit bloss ca. 1.5-2.0 mm/s. Durch diese langsame Drehung des Fortsatzes 11 wird aber sichergestellt, daß die vorangeschobenen Teile des Brenngutes aufgrund der wirkenden Kräfte radial nach aussen wandern und schließlich auf den Bereich 12 der Rostfläche 1 geschoben werden. Dieser Bereich, ein konzentrischer Ring, der gleich an das Loch 6 im Rost 1 anschliesst, ist frei von Belüftungslöchern 7. Entsprechend brennen die Teile des Brenngutes dort schwer und müssen zunächst weiter radial nach aussen geschoben werden. Dieses erfolgt beim nächsten Durchgang des Fortsatzes 11, wenn von demselben wieder Teile von Brenngut ein kleines stückweit auf die Rostfläche nachgeschoben werden. In dieser Weise werden die Brenngut-Teile minütlich, Umgang um Umgang des Fortsatzes 11, ganz langsam auf den Rost und schließlich auf dessen Brandzone geschoben, welche durch jenen Bereich 13 gebildet ist, der mit Luftlöchern 7 ausgestattet ist. Der Durchmesser des ganzen Rostes 1 beträgt etwa das Doppelte des Durchmessers des Förderrohres 8. Wenn dieses also 60mm mißt, so mißt der Rost 1 im Durchmesser ca. 120mm. Durch die sachte und kontinuierliche Zuführung von frischem Brenngut wird eine schönes, hohes und regelmäßiges Flammenbild auf dem Rost 1 erzielt, und keine flackernden, technisch wirkenden Flammen.However, the

Die Brenngut-Zufuhreinrichtung für solche Holzöfen für Leistungen von weniger als 1 kW wird mit einem Elektromotor bestückt, der die Schnecke 2 über ein Untersetzungsgetriebe antreibt. Je nach spannungsabhängiger Ansteuerung des Elektromotors kann die Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit der Förderschnecke 2 von 0.5 bis 2 Umdrehungen pro Minute eingestellt werden und somit kann die Zufuhrmenge von Brenngut pro Zeit und somit die Heizleistung reguliert werden.The kiln feed device for such wood stoves for powers of less than 1 kW is equipped with an electric motor which drives the
