Definitions
- the invention relates to a screw hub, a centrifuge screw and a solid bowl screw centrifuge.
- a worm hub according to the preamble of claim 1 is known, for example, from WO 2016/019944 A1.
- Solid bowl screw centrifuges are characterized by a bowl with a closed or full bowl.
- the drum is rotated at high speed, as a result of which a multiphase mixture located in the drum can be separated into at least a heavy phase and a light phase.
- the heavy phase is usually a solid phase that is conveyed by means of a screw, i. H. a centrifuge screw, is conveyed out of the drum.
- the worm is rotatably mounted in the drum relative to the drum and has a worm helix.
- the worm helix is arranged around a worm hub.
- the screw helix brushes along the inside or inner jacket surface of the drum and thus conveys the material from the heavy phase to an axial end area of the drum. At the end of the drum, the material in the heavy phase is conveyed out of a discharge cone, for example.
- the multi-phase mixture to be clarified is therefore located between the inside of the bowl and the screw hub.
- a large pond depth is aimed for, especially for reasons of clarification technology.
- the pond depth is limited by the diameter of the screw hub and the buoyancy and sedimentation effects of the mixture to be clarified or the light phase.
- a solid bowl screw centrifuge with a screw hub is known from WO 2016/019944 A1 mentioned at the outset, which has a cylindrical section with a lattice structure.
- a worm helix is arranged on the outside of the worm hub.
- the lattice structure is essentially formed from longitudinal bars so that the medium to be clarified through Openings between the longitudinal bars can flow into the drum space or separation space.
- Such a lattice structure which is formed only from longitudinal bars, disadvantageously has insufficient torsional rigidity.
- high centrifugal forces act on the longitudinal rods during operation, so that the running behavior of the worm hub is negatively influenced.
- the longitudinal rods only provide a small area on their outside in order to weld the screw helix to the lattice structure.
- reinforcements in the form of inclined struts are used in the interior of the cylindrical section.
- the diagonal struts can only be installed with a high level of straightening and welding effort, which increases the overall costs in connection with the production of the worm hub. Since the oblique struts are arranged in the interior of the cylindrical section, the worm hub also has a deteriorated material utilization.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a screw hub for a centrifuge screw which, due to an improved structural design, has increased rigidity and improved flow properties and can be produced in a simplified manner. Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of specifying a centrifuge screw and a solid bowl screw centrifuge.
- this object is achieved with regard to the worm hub by the subject matter of claim 1 or 15.
- the centrifuge screw and the solid bowl screw centrifuge the above-mentioned object is achieved in each case by the subject matter of claim 17 (centrifuge screw) and claim 18 (solid bowl screw centrifuge).
- the subclaims include at least useful refinements and developments.
- a screw hub for a centrifuge screw which extends along a longitudinal axis and has at least one longitudinal section with an opening structure.
- the opening structure is formed by a multiplicity of web elements which delimit a multiplicity of openings for the passage of a medium.
- the Web elements are arranged radially on the outside in relation to the longitudinal axis on the longitudinal section and form a circumference of the longitudinal section.
- Two bar elements each form a bar pair that delimits at least one opening, with both bar elements of the bar pair extending in the longitudinal direction and transversely to the longitudinal direction, or a first bar element of the bar pair each extending in the longitudinal direction and a second bar element of the bar pair extending transversely to the longitudinal direction.
- the medium can be, for example, a two-phase mixture or a three-phase mixture.
- the opening structure can also be referred to as an open wall structure.
- the terms “opening structure” and / or “open wall structure” are intended to make it clear that the wall structure in the longitudinal section of the screw hub has a large number of openings and / or an overall large opening area.
- a bar element is to be understood as a solid that extends essentially along a body's own longitudinal axis or bar longitudinal axis.
- both web elements of the web pair extend in the longitudinal direction and transversely to the longitudinal direction.
- both web elements of the web pair extend obliquely, in particular at an angle, in relation to the longitudinal direction.
- the respective web element is thus arranged in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the web element runs at a defined angle to the longitudinal direction of the worm hub.
- the web elements in this variant do not run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the worm hub.
- a first of the two web elements extends in the longitudinal direction and a second of the two web elements extends transversely to the longitudinal direction.
- the first web element extends essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the worm hub and the second web element extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the worm hub.
- the second web element can in relation to Be arranged obliquely in the longitudinal direction, in particular at an angle.
- the second web element runs at a defined angle to the longitudinal direction of the worm hub.
- the second web element does not run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the worm hub. It is possible for the second web element to extend in the circumferential direction at right angles, in particular orthogonally, to the longitudinal axis of the worm hub.
- the longitudinal section can be essentially cylindrical.
- the two web elements of the web pair can be arranged converging or diverging in the longitudinal direction.
- the opening structure is formed from a multiplicity of web elements.
- the opening structure is formed from a multiplicity of web pairs.
- the web elements of the web pairs can form the circumference over the entire web length.
- the web elements preferably extend only in the circumferential area of the longitudinal section.
- the longitudinal direction corresponds to a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the worm hub.
- the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction is to be understood as a direction along the circumference of the longitudinal section transverse to the longitudinal axis of the worm hub.
- the invention has several advantages. Since the opening structure of the longitudinal section is formed according to the invention from a plurality of web elements and has a plurality of openings, a large pond depth can be formed in an associated solid bowl screw centrifuge.
- the longitudinal section and thus the worm hub have increased torsional and flexural rigidity. This is particularly advantageous when the screw hub is used in a full-bowl screw centrifuge with a large longitudinal extension, since the overall system has an increased rigidity as a result.
- the screw hub according to the invention can be implemented with an increased length / diameter ratio due to the high rigidity of the opening structure, since imbalances that arise, especially in a two-rotor system, have less effects on the running behavior and thus on machine vibrations due to the increased rigidity of the overall system.
- the screw hub according to the invention has a high level of stability during operation when forces occur due to the buoyancy and deposition effect of the medium to be clarified.
- the worm hub has a reduced weight, as a result of which the centrifugal force load is reduced during operation. Furthermore, the worm hub is simplified to manufacture, since there is no need for complex alignment and welding of the stiffening elements. This has the further advantage that distortion, for example due to welding, as well as internal material and component stresses in the manufacture of the worm hub are reduced. Manufacturing tolerances can thus be adhered to with little effort. Furthermore, the running behavior of the worm hub is advantageously improved.
