Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Strahlreinigung der Wandflächen von mittels Fördereinrichtungen herangebrachter, nacheinander auf ein Reibdrehlager aufgelegter Rohre mit vor beiden Mündungen der Rohre angeordneten Strahleinrichtungen mit auf den Innenraum der Rohre gerichteten Leitrohren, deren Mündungsabstand von den Mündungen der Rohre veränderbar ist, und mit einer Abhebe-und Weiterfördereinrichtung für die fertiggestrahlten Rohre.The invention relates to a device for jet cleaning the wall surfaces of pipes brought in by means of conveying devices and placed one after the other on a friction rotary bearing, with jet devices arranged in front of both mouths of the pipes, with guide pipes directed towards the interior of the pipes, the distance between the openings of the pipes and the openings of the pipes, and with one Lifting and conveying device for the finished blasted tubes.

Bei einer bekannten Vorrichtung dieser Art (DT-OS 2 533 952) sind die Strahleinrichtungen in verfahrbaren, eine Aufnahmeöffnung und Abdichtelemente für die Rohrender der Rohre aufweisenden Gehäusen angeordnet. Zur Anpassung der Vorrichtung an die jeweils zu bearbeitende Rohrlänge können diese Gehäuse in Richtung der Rohrlenkachse verfahren werden und die Anpassung der Vorrichtung an den Durchmesser der Rohre wurde durch Veränderung des Abstandes der Austrittsöffnung der Leitrohre der Strahleinrichtungen und gegebenenfalls durch Änderung der Neigung der Mittenachse des Leitrohres zur Mittenachse des zu reinigenden Rohres bewirkt. Die Verfahrbarkeit de die Strahleinrichtungen aufnehmenden Gehäuse bringt den Nachteil mit, sich, daß sowohl die Zufuhr als auch die Abführeinrichtungen für das Strahlmittel so ausgebildet werden müssen, daß insbesondere der Zufuhrstrom des Strahlmittels den .Standortveränderungen der Strahleinrichtung Rechnung trägt; dafür sind aufwendige Einrichtungen nötig. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß die Rohre, die in der Regel von der Seitte her in die Reinigungsposition auf Drehantriebsrollenpaare aufgelegt werden müssen, jedesmal das Auseinanderfahren der die Strahleinrichtungen aufnehmenden Gehäus notwendig machen und nachdem die Rohre in Bearbeitungslage gebracht worden sind, die entsprechende Rückbewegung der Gehäuse in die Arbeitsposition erfordern. Der gleiche Vorgang muß beim Abnehmen des fertig gestrahlten Rohres von den Drehantriebsrollenpaaren wiederholt werden. Ein weiterer Nachteil ergibt sich aus der Notwendigkeit, den maximalen Abstand der Drehantriebsrollenpaare parallel zur Achsrichtung des aufzulegenden Rohres auf die kleinste vorkommende Rohrlänge abzustimmen, so daß die grösseren Rohrlängen seitlich weit über die Auflager hinauskragen müssen. Ein weiteres, bisher praktisch nicht gelöstes Problem besteht in der Notwendigkeit, die in die Gehäuse hineinragenden beiden Endabschnitte des Rohres an ihrem Außenumfang zuverlässig gegen die Gehäusewände abzudichten, weil solche Dichtungen sich den unterschiedlichen Rohrdurchmessern anpassen müssen und mit ihren Dichtelementen auf der rotierenden Außenwand des Rohres aufliegen. Schließlich erlaubt die bekannte Ausbildungs form nicht das gleichzeitige Bestrahlen der Rohraußenwände, weil sich die Rohrenden in den Gehäusen befinden.In a known device of this type (DT-OS 2 533 952), the jet devices are arranged in movable housings which have a receiving opening and sealing elements for the pipe ends of the pipes. To adapt the device to the pipe length to be machined in each case, these housings can be moved in the direction of the pipe steering axis and the adaptation of the device to the diameter of the pipes was made by changing the distance between the outlet opening of the guide pipes of the jet devices and, if necessary, by changing the inclination of the center axis of the guide pipe caused to the center axis of the pipe to be cleaned. The movability of the housing accommodating the blasting devices has the disadvantage that both the feed and the discharge devices for the blasting agent must be designed such that in particular the feed stream of the blasting agent takes into account the changes in location of the blasting device; elaborate facilities are required for this. Another disadvantage is that the tubes, which generally have to be placed from the side into the cleaning position on pairs of rotary drive rollers, each time make it necessary to move apart the housing accommodating the blasting devices and, after the tubes have been brought into the processing position, the corresponding return movement the housing in the working position. The same process must be repeated when removing the finished blasted tube from the rotary drive roller pairs. Another disadvantage arises from the necessity to match the maximum distance of the rotary drive roller pairs parallel to the axial direction of the pipe to be placed on the smallest possible pipe length, so that the larger pipe lengths have to protrude laterally far beyond the supports. Another problem that has not yet been solved practically is the need to reliably seal the two end sections of the tube protruding into the housing on their outer circumference against the housing walls, because such seals have to adapt to the different tube diameters and with their sealing elements on the rotating outer wall of the tube lie on. Finally, the well-known training form does not allow the simultaneous irradiation of the outer tube walls, because the tube ends are in the housings.

Eine weitere bekannte Vorrichtung zur Strahlreinigung (US-PS 2692 458) weist Reibdrehlager und Auffang- sowie Abfüreinrichtungen für das Strahlmittel auf, die in einer geschlossenen Strahlkammer angeordnet sind. Die mittels Fördereinrichtungen herangebrachten Rohre werden nacheiander auf die Reibdrehlager aufgelegt und von zwei Düsen mit dem Strahlmittel beaufschlagt. Beide Düsen sind auf je einem, parallel zur Mittenachse des zu bestrahlenden Rohres verschiebbaren Trägern angeordnet. Die eine Düse kann dabei oberhalb des Rohres verschoben und die andere in das Rohrinnere hinein- und herausgefahren werden. Zusätzlich ist eine Abhebe- und Weiterfördereinrichtung für die fertig bestrahlten Rohre vorgesehen. Die Vorrichtung eignet sich nur für verhältnismäßig kurze Rohre, da der Träger, der in das Rohrinnere einzuführenden Düse frei kragend ausgebildet sein muß und schon bei kurzen Kraglängen infolge des durch das austretende Strahlmittel bewirkten Rückstoßes, Durchbiegungen und Flatterbewegungen des Trägers auftreten, die kaum zu beherrschen sind. Für die Bestrahlung der Innenwände des Rohres läßt sich auch nur das weniger wirksame und aufwendige Druckluftstrahlverfahren anwenden, da der innerhalb des Rohres zur Verfügung stehende Raum die Anwendung von Strahlvorrichtungen mit Schleuderrädern nicht zuläßt. Eine weitere Schwierigkeit besteht darin, das Strahlmittel schon wärend des Strahlens aus dem Rohrinnern herauszubringen. Außerdem benötigt eine solche Vorrichtung für die Führung der Träger der Düsen seitlich einen zusätzlichen Raum, der mindestens der Gesamtbreite der Stahlkammer entspricht.Another known device for blasting cleaning (US Pat. No. 2,692,458) has friction rotary bearings and collecting and removal devices for the blasting agent, which are arranged in a closed blasting chamber. The pipes brought in by means of conveying devices are placed one after the other on the friction rotary bearings and the blasting agent is applied by two nozzles. Both nozzles are each arranged on a carrier which can be displaced parallel to the center axis of the tube to be irradiated. One nozzle can be moved above the pipe and the other can be moved in and out of the pipe. In addition, a lifting and conveying device is provided for the tubes which have already been irradiated. The device is only suitable for relatively short tubes, since the carrier, the nozzle to be inserted into the interior of the tube must be designed so as to be freely cantilevered, and even with short cantilever lengths as a result of the recoil caused by the blasting agent escaping, deflections and fluttering movements of the carrier occur which are difficult to control are. For the irradiation of the inner walls of the tube, only the less effective and complex compressed air blasting method can be used, since the space available inside the tube does not permit the use of blasting devices with centrifugal wheels. Another difficulty is to get the abrasive out of the tube during blasting. In addition, such a device for guiding the carrier of the nozzles laterally requires an additional space which corresponds at least to the total width of the steel chamber.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die an erster Stelle genannte Vorrichtung unter Anwendung von konstruktiven Einzelheiten der an zweiter Stelle genannten Vorrichtung so zu verbessern, daß ohne in Kaufnahme der Nachteile dieser Vorrichtung die anfangs aufgeführten Schwiergkeiten und Nachteile vermieden bzw. beseitigt werden. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Strahleinrichtungen ortsfest an oder in einer geschlossenen, die Reibdrehlager für die Rohre und die Auffang- und Abführeinrichtungen für das Strahlmittel aufnehmenden Strahlkammer angeordnet und die Leitrohre längen- und querschnittsveränderbar ausgebildet sind. Dabei kann wie die Erfindung weiter vorsieht, eine in Reibdrehlager oder der Zuführ-Fördereinrichtung angeordnete Vorrichtung zur Längsmit- tenjustierung des Rohres zwischen beiden Mündungsöffnungen der Leitrohre der Strahleinrichtungen angeordnet sein und des weiteren eine zwischen den Mündungen der Rohre und den Mündungen der Leitrohre bewegbare Schildblende. Eine in der Abhebe- oder Weiterfördereinrichtung für die Rohre angeordnete Kippvorrichtung kann mit einer unter dem tiefer gelegenen Ende des gekippten Rohres angeordneten Strahlmittelauffangund Abführeinrichtung kombiniert sein. Die Verlängerungen für die Leitrohre bestehen zweckmässig aus Rohrstücken, die einzeln oder gemeinsam in und außer Wirklage schwenk-oder schiebbar sind. Der Querschnitt der Leitrohre oder der Verlängerungsrohrstücke kann sich in Strahlrichtung düsenartig verkleinern und die Rohrstücke können, auch vorprogrammiebar, in und außer Wirklage fahrbar sein. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit zwei oder mehr mit den Leitrohren auf die gleiche Rohrmündung gerichtete Strahleinrichtungen zu verwenden und diese so anzuordnen, daß alle Mittenachsen der Leitrohre der Strahleinrichtung außerhalb der Mittenachse des zu strahlenden Rohres parallel oder geneigt zu dieser verlaufen.The invention has for its object to improve the device mentioned in the first place using structural details of the device mentioned in the second place so that the difficulties and disadvantages mentioned at the outset are avoided or eliminated without accepting the disadvantages of this device. This object is achieved in that the blasting devices are arranged in a fixed position on or in a closed, the friction rotary bearing for the pipes and the collecting and discharging devices for the blasting medium receiving blasting chamber and the guide tubes are variable in length and cross-section. In this case, as the invention further provides, a device for adjusting the longitudinal center of the tube arranged in the friction rotary bearing or the feed conveyor device can be arranged between the two orifices of the guide tubes of the jet devices and furthermore one between the coins of the tubes and the mouths of the guide tubes movable shield. A tilting device arranged in the lifting or further conveying device for the pipes can be combined with a blasting agent collection and discharge device arranged under the lower end of the tilted pipe. The extensions for the guide tubes expediently consist of tube pieces which can be pivoted or pushed individually or together in and out of operative position. The cross section of the guide tubes or of the extension tube pieces can be reduced in a jet-like manner in the beam direction and the tube pieces can also be movable in and out of action, also preprogrammable. There is also the possibility of using two or more beam devices directed to the same pipe mouth with the guide pipes and to arrange them in such a way that all the center axes of the guide pipes of the beam device run parallel or inclined to the outside of the center axis of the pipe to be blasted.

Unter der De-cke des Gehäuses ist eine weitere Strahleinrichtung 12 in einem Gehäuses ist eine weitere Strahleinrichtung 12 in einem Gehäuse 11 auf Rollen 13 über eine Horizontalschiene 10 verfahrbar angeordnet. Im Gehäuse 11 dieser Strahleinrichtung 12 ist ein nicht dargestellter Zwischenbunker für des Strahlmittel vorgesehen, der in den beiden Endstellungen der Fahrbewegbarkeit des Gehäuses über Förderer 14, 15 mit frischem Strahlmittel aufgefüllt werden kann. Das in unterbrochenen Linien angedeutete zu strahlende Rohr R ist zwischen den Mündungen der beiden Leitrohre 1 a und 2a der Strahleinrichtungen 1 und 2 angeordnet; es liegt dabei, wie aus Fig. 2 zu ersehen, auf Reibrollenpaaren 16 auf. Die Zufuhr der Rohre erfolgt von der Seite her über eine Rollrutsche 17 auf die der Mittenjustierung dienenden konischen Rollen 18 eines Aufnahmerollgangs oder auch durch eine (nicht dargestellten) Rollgang, der in oder parallel zur Förderrichtung der Rollen 18 fördert. Das auf den konischen Rollen 18 liegende Rohr R' gelangt, nachdem es mittenausgerichtet worden ist, über die in Richtung des eingezeichneten Pfeiles geschwenkte Kipphebelanordnung 19 auf die Rollen 16 des Reibdrehlagers, wird dort zum Zwecke der Bearbeitung in Drehung versetzt und kann dann durch Schwenken einer der Rollen des Reibdrehlagers ebenfalls in Richtung des eingezeichneten Pfeiles auf eine Fanghebelanordnung 20 aufgebracht werden, die das fertige Rohr R" durch Schwenken in Richtung des eingezeichneten Pfeiles auf die Ablaufrutsche 21 bringt. Die Anordnung kann auch, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, so getroffen werden, daß das Reibdrehlager aus Rollen 22 und 23 besteht, von denen die Rollen 22 mit Hilfe eines Hubmotors 24 über eine Schwenklaschenverbindung 25 um die Drehachse 23a der anderen Rolle geschwenkt werden können, mit der Wikung, daß das Rohr R über die Rollen 23 auf die Ablaufrutsche 21 gelangt.1 and 2, the beam devices 1 and 2 are arranged in the side walls 3a and 3b of the housing 3; the jet devices protrude with their guide tubes 1 a - or 2a into the interior of the housing and the feed devices 4 and 5 are fixedly arranged outside the housing 3 in a known manner and via corresponding feed channels 6 and 7 with below the housing 3 in a collecting trough 3c arranged conveyor screws 8 and 9 connected. Under the cover of the housing, a further beam device 12 is arranged in a housing, a further beam device 12 is arranged in a housing 11 on rollers 13 so as to be movable over a horizontal rail 10. An intermediate bunker (not shown) for the blasting medium is provided in the housing 11 of this blasting device 12 and can be filled with fresh blasting medium in the two end positions of the travel mobility of the housing via conveyors 14, 15. The pipe R to be blasted, indicated by broken lines, is arranged between the mouths of the two guide pipes 1a and 2a of the jet devices 1 and 2; it lies, as can be seen from FIG. 2, on pairs of friction rollers 16. The tubes are supplied from the side via a roller chute 17 onto the conical rollers 18 of a receiving roller table which serve for the center adjustment or also through a roller table (not shown) which conveys in or parallel to the conveying direction of the rollers 18. The tube R 'lying on the conical rollers 18, after it has been aligned in the center, passes over the rocker arm arrangement 19 pivoted in the direction of the arrow onto the rollers 16 of the friction rotary bearing, is rotated there for the purpose of machining and can then be pivoted by one of the rollers of the friction rotary bearing are also applied in the direction of the arrow to a catch lever arrangement 20, which brings the finished pipe R "onto the discharge chute 21 by pivoting in the direction of the arrow. The arrangement can also be made as shown in FIG. 3 be that the friction rotary bearing consists of rollers 22 and 23, of which the rollers 22 can be pivoted by means of a lifting motor 24 via a swivel bracket connection 25 about the axis of rotation 23 a of the other roller, with the wung that the tube R on the rollers 23 on the drain slide 21 arrives.

Wie weiter aus Fig. 1 zu ersehen, sind in Bereich der Mündungen der Leitrohre 1a und 2a der Strahleinrichtungen 1 bzw. 2 hier strichpunktiert dargestellte Schildblenden 26 und 27 vorgesehen, die auf nicht dargestellte Weise vor die Mündungen der Leitrohre 1a, 2a gefahren werden können und so beim Betrieb der einen Strahleinrichtung die andere vor dem Strahleinfluß der anderen Einrichtung schützen. Die Rohre R können ferner mit Hilfe einer nicht dargestellten Kippvorrichtung in die strichpunktierte Lage R"' gekippt werden, um die im Rohrinneren befindlichen Strahlmittelreste zu entfernen und diese der Auffangwanne 3c zuzuführen.1, in the area of the mouths of the guide tubes 1a and 2a of the jet devices 1 and 2, here, shield shields 26 and 27 are provided, which can be moved in a manner not shown in front of the mouths of the guide tubes 1a, 2a and thus protect the other from the influence of the beam from the other device during operation of one beam device. The tubes R can also be tilted into the dot-dash position R "'with the aid of a tilting device, not shown, in order to remove the blasting agent residues located in the interior of the tube and to feed them to the collecting trough 3c.

Die Längen- und Querschnittsveränderungen der Leitrohre 1 und 2a können, wie aus Fig. 4 zu ersehen, in der Weise bewirkt werden, daß Leitrohre unterschiedlicher Querschnittsabmaße 29a, 29b, 29c in einem Träger 30 angeordnet werden, der aus einer strichpunktiert dargestellten Außerbetrieblage um eine Achse 31 vor die Mündung der Leitrohre 1 a und 2a schwenk- und einjustierbar ist.

Diese Rohrstücke können dabei einzeln oder gemeinsam in und außer Wrklage geschwenkt werden. Diese Rohre können auch parallel nebeneinander gruppenweise auf je einem Schwenkarm angeordnet werden. Wie zu ersehen, ist der Durchmesser der in Strahlrichtung hintereinander angeordneten Rohrstücke 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d jeweils grösser bemessen als der des vorhergehenden Rohres. Es empfiehlt sich, die Durchmesserabstufungen mindestans entsprechend der doppelten Wandstärke der verwendeten Rohre zu bemessen. Der Abstant der Mündungsstirnseiten der aufeinanderfolgenden Rohre soll mindestens 10 mm und mehr betragen. Die Rohrstücke können auch, wie nicht dargestellt, teleskopartig in- und übereinander schiebbar angeordnet sein.The changes in length and cross-section of the guide tubes 1 and 2a can, as can be seen from FIG. 4, be brought about in such a way that guide tubes of different cross-sectional dimensions 29a, 29b, 29c are arranged in a carrier 30 which is out of a non-operating position shown in broken lines by one Axis 31 in front of the mouth of the guide tubes 1 a and 2a is pivotable and adjustable.

These pieces of pipe can be pivoted individually or together in and out of work position. These tubes can also be arranged in parallel next to each other in groups on a swivel arm. As can be seen, the diameter of the pipe sections 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d arranged one behind the other in the beam direction is in each case larger than that of the preceding pipe. It is recommended that Dimension diameters at least in accordance with double the wall thickness of the pipes used. The distance between the end faces of the successive pipes should be at least 10 mm and more. The pipe sections can also, as not shown, be arranged telescopically in and on top of each other.

Soll sich der Querschnitt der Leitrohre und/ oder der Verlängerungsrohrstücke in Strahlrichtung düsenartig verkleinern, dann kann, wie in Fig. 5 angedeutet, im Leitrohr 1 oder auch in einem der Varlängerungsstücke 32a bis 32d eine Schwenkklappe 35 vorgesehen werden, die um eine im Rohr angeordnete Asche 36 schwenk- und mittels eines Ansatzes 35a einstell- und fest legbar ist. Zur Einjustierung der Mittenachse der auf den Rollen 16 des Reibdrehlagers liegenden Rohre R auf die Mitte der Leitrohre 1 bzw. 2 kann das Reibdrehlager in einem nicht dargestellten heb- und senkbaren Tragrahmen angeordnet werden.If the cross section of the guide tubes and / or the extension tube pieces is to be reduced in a jet-like manner in the jet direction, then, as indicated in FIG. 5, a pivoting flap 35 can be provided in the guide tube 1 or in one of the extension pieces 32a to 32d, which is arranged around a valve in the tube Ash 36 is pivotable and adjustable and fixed by means of an attachment 35a. In order to adjust the center axis of the tubes R lying on the rollers 16 of the friction rotary bearing to the center of the guide tubes 1 or 2, the friction rotary bearing can be arranged in a support frame (not shown) which can be raised and lowered.

Da das Rohr R während des gesamten Strahlvorgangs frei auf en Rollen 16 des Reibdrehlagers liegend rotiert, kann durch Hin- und Herfahren der Strahleinrichtung 12 über die Rohrlänge gleichzeitig der Außenumfang des Rohres R gestrahlt werden.Since the pipe R rotates freely on the rollers 16 of the friction rotary bearing during the entire blasting process, the outer circumference of the pipe R can be blasted simultaneously by moving the blasting device 12 back and forth over the pipe length.
