Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with a method of breaking up bundles of adherent hard fibers, especially steel fibers, and feeding said defibered or individualized fibers to a mixing device and a vibrating screen for performing said method.
  • Swedish laid open patent application No. 7508720-5 discloses a method and a device to break up the bundles of fibers by vibrating and/or tumbling on a screen and/or in a tumbler.
  • the feed rate of the fibers to the mixer is varied by an increase or decrease of the rate of motion of the screen or tumbler and/or the discharge opening of the tumbler.
  • the fibers are oriented in a plane by falling by gravity on a vibrating table and thereafter aligned by an airstream in a transport pipe.
  • DE-A-2 523 905 and DE-A-2 337 129 both disclose a method of breaking up bundles of adherent hard fibers, particularly steel fibers, and feeding said defibered or individualized fibers to a mixing device, the method comprising vibrating said bundles of adhering fibers on an oscillating screen to obtain separated fibers, passing said separated fibers through openings of said screen, and supplying by means of gravity and oscillating force said fibers to said mixing device.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to suggest a simple method of defibering fibers obtained as bundles and of supplying the individualized fibers by gravity over a large area, said area being larger than the area of the oscillating screen, and directly to a mixing device.
  • the invention also comprises a screen for performing said method.
  • the purpose of the invention is achieved by a method according to the preamble of claim 1 in that said openings being oblong and through which openings only one fiber at a time can pass, said fibers being spread over a large area, said area being larger than the area of said screen and being part of said mixing device, separated fibers are aligned in a plane parallel to the plane of said screen thus lying horizontally when passing through opening.
  • the screen for performing the method comprises an oscillating screen according to the preamble of claim 2 wherein, said openings being oblong and having a length corresponding mainly to the length of said fibers, the width of said openings being essentially less than the length of said fibers, the plane of each opening making an acute angle relative to the plane of the screening means and the line corresponding to the longest dimension of an opening being parallel to the plane of the screen.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross section through a concrete mixer station comprising a screen according to the invention and Figure 2 shows the concrete mixer station from above.
  • the concrete mixer station of Figure 1 comprises a mixing means 1 having mixing elements which are not shown, said elements being driven by a motor 2.
  • a screen 3 is arranged on the mixing means 1, said screen has a screening means 4.
  • the screening means is given an oscillating movement by a motor 5 via an eccentric member 6.
  • Said screening means 4 has oblong openings 8, e.g. rhombic openings as shown in Figure 2.
  • the screen 3 is provided with side walls 7 to retain the fibers supplied to the screen when the screening means is moving backwards and forwards.
  • the screening means 4 covers a large area of the mixing means 1.
  • the width of the screening means is about half the radius of the round mixing tank 1.
  • the screening means has such a length that all fibers fall within the mixing tank 1.
  • the screen can of course be placed nearer the center of the mixing tank and thus having both a greater length and width.
  • the openings of the screening means must be oblong and preferably have rhomboidic shape, i.e. the openings include both rectangular and rhombic shape.
  • the shape of the openings must have such a shape that only one fiber at a time can pass through one and the same opening.
  • the largest dimension of an opening must be of the same order of magnitude as the fiber and the dimension at right angle to the longest dimension must be small such that two or more fiber sticking together can not pass through the opening.
  • a practical least dimension of a rhomboidic opening is such a length that the sum of the length of two adjacent sides is slightly greater than the length of a fiber. In that case, only fibers having a longitudinal axis forming an angle against the plane of the screening means can pass.
  • a preferable practical greatest dimension of rhomboidic openings is such a length that the sum of the length of two adjacent sides is twice the length of the fiber.
  • the width of the openings must be such that in the vast majority of cases bundles of fibers of two or more cannot pass.
  • the surface of the screening means is not even but is provided with elevations and corresponding depressions (negative elevations), i.e. the level of the top surface is having regular or non-regular variations.
  • An example of a preferred screening means is a means made of expanded metal having rhombic openings.
  • the openings of an expanded metal make an acute angle with the plane of the screening means.
  • an expanded metal screen having rhombic openings is very suitable, the openings having a greatest diagonal of 25 mm and a second diagonal of 12 mm. It is understood that the size of the openings depends on the length of the fibers.
  • the fibers are supplied in the form of bundles of fibers and of course, there are single fibers.
  • Such bundles are fed to the screen 3 via an endless chain elevator 9, said screen is placed directly over said mixing tank 1.
  • Simultaneously or preferably in advance naturally moist sand is fed to the mixing means 1.
  • the sand must not be dry. Due to the fact that the fibers pass through said screening means only one fiber at a time passes through one and the same opening, over a large area, the supply of fibers comprises many fibers per unit of time over a large area. Thus many fibers can be supplied without clogging in the mixing tank. Thanks to the fact that the screen is oscillating the fibers obtain a component of movement parallel to the plane of the screening means.
  • the mixing device 1 will distribute the fibers in the concrete before they are able to clog together. Then, or possibly simultaneously with the sand other ballast material, e.g. silicon dioxide is added. Following the ballast materials cement and thereafter water is added forming the mixed concrete. This concrete can be sprayed. This spraying orients the fibers in one direction in the concrete.
  • the sand other ballast material e.g. silicon dioxide
  • the present invention is not limited to the production to reinforced concrete but can be used in the production of other masses containing fibers, e.g. asphalt, bitumen.
  • the method is not limited to the described open mixing device but can be used with other mixing devices, e.g. screw mixing devices.

Abstract

Procédé de séparation de faisceaux de fibres dures adhérentes, particulièrement des fibres en acier, et d'alimentation d'un dispositif mélangeur avec les fibres individuelles ainsi obtenues. Le procédé comprend la vibration desdits faisceaux de fibres dures adhérentes sur un écran d'oscillation, afin d'obtenir des fibres séparées, l'introduction de ces fibres, alignées sur un plan parallèle au plan dudit écran, à travers des ouvertures oblongues dudit écran, alors qu'en général, seule une fibre à la fois peut passer par chacune de ces ouvertures, la transmission par les forces de gravité et d'oscillation desdites fibres individuelles au dispositif mélangeur, et leur distribution sur une large surface, supérieure à la surface de l'écran. L'écran (4) comporte des ouvertures oblongues (8) dont la longueur correspond généralement à la longueur des fibres et dont la largeur est essentiellement inférieure à la longueur des fibres.
