Definitions

  • the invention relates to a silencer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the muffler is intended for use in screw compressors which are installed on silo vehicles for the transport of dusty or free flowing bulk materials to provide the required compressed air for loosening the bulk material in the silo and for the pneumatic discharge of the bulk material.
  • screw compressors which are installed on silo vehicles for the transport of dusty or free flowing bulk materials to provide the required compressed air for loosening the bulk material in the silo and for the pneumatic discharge of the bulk material.
  • a problem with this and other uses of screw compressors is their very high noise level. To limit this, it is necessary to pass at least the compressed air discharged at the pressure side of the compressor through a silencer.
  • mufflers are known according to the preamble of claim 1, which have at their inlet opening a mounting flange which can be connected to a corresponding flange at the pressure outlet of the compressor by fastening means, for example screws, so that the muffler directly, without interposition of lines, can be mounted on the compressor.
  • the invention has for its object to form a muffler, which is intended for mounting on a compressor, so that with simple means the angular position of the muffler can be changed continuously relative to the compressor unit.
  • the mounting flange of the muffler with which the muffler can be flanged to the pressure outlet of the compressor, not rigidly formed on the housing of the muffler, but relative to the housing continuously rotatable and fixable in any desired angular position, can during assembly of the muffler on the screw compressor the each most favorable orientation of the muffler, in adaptation to the respective existing installation conditions, be made easily with a few simple steps. This will make it possible in virtually all cases to position the muffler relative to the compressor so that installation on a truck chassis is possible without having to make these modifications.
  • the claims 2 to 4 relate to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the continuously rotatable mounting of the mounting flange and its attachment to the housing in any angular position.
  • Fig. 1 shows in side view a compressor 1, the z. B. may be formed as a two-stage screw compressor and a drive shaft 3, a suction inlet 5 and at its top a pressure outlet 7, which is surrounded by a flange 9.
  • the muffler 11 On the compressor 1, a generally denoted by 11 muffler for the emerging from the compressor 1 compressed air is placed.
  • the muffler 11 has a housing 13 which is generally box-shaped with a flat, mutually parallel top and bottom. At the bottom there is an inflow opening 15, which is surrounded by a mounting flange 17, which is suitable for the connection flange provided on the compressor 1 9 is formed and can be attached to this by screws in a known manner.
  • Fig. 2 On the underside of the housing 13 is a circular, recessed seat 21 and a housing opening 20 surrounded by this for receiving the mounting flange 17, which is attached or integrally formed with one at its rear hollow cylindrical flange core 23 forms a detachable from the housing 13 unit.
  • the mounting flange 17 surrounds the inflow opening 15.
  • an opening or a window 25 is provided, through which the inflowing compressed air from the tubular flange core 23 enters the housing 13 of the muffler.
  • the hollow cylindrical Flanschkern mainly for reasons of soundproofing, closed by a solid bottom wall 24.
  • a recessed, circular seat 27 for receiving a flange plate 29 serving as an abutment plate.
  • Mounting flange 17, flange core 23 and flange cover 29 have openings 31, 33 (see FIG Fig. 3 ), for receiving clamping screws (not shown), with which the mounting flange 17 and the flange 29 are connected to each other and against the housing 13, ie against the flat bottom surface of the seats 21, 27 can be tightened.
  • this expansion bolts are used, which are tightened with a predetermined torque to produce a defined surface pressure.
  • sealing rings 35 are arranged in the seats 21 and 20 .
  • the number of clamping screws can z. B. four.
  • clamping screws When tightening the clamping screws mounting flange 17 and flange 29 are in their seats 21, 27 preferably flush with the housing 13.
  • the length of the clamping screws is greater than the height of the muffler housing 13 so that the inserted into the openings 33, 31 clamping screws down protrude beyond the mounting flange 15 and in corresponding threaded holes (not shown) of the connecting flange 9 of the compressor 1 can be screwed.
  • the clamping screws thus have a dual function, namely to clamp the mounting flange 17 and the flange 29 against each other and against the seals 35 in the seats 21, 27 and to attach the entire muffler to the flange 7 of the compressor.
  • the housing 13 can be rotated relative to the mounting flange 17 about the axis AA of the inlet opening 15 and fixed by tightening the clamping screws in any angular position relative to the compressor 1.
  • FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show top views of the top of the compressor 1 with attached muffler 11, wherein the compressor is mounted on the chassis 37 of a transport vehicle.
  • Fig. 5 illustrated in comparison to Fig. 4 How the silencer 11 can be infinitely angularly adjusted relative to the compressor 1 after loosening of the mounting flange 17 against the housing 13 clamping screws and fixed by tightening the clamping screws in a desired angular position relative to the compressor 1.
  • the angular adjustment of the muffler takes place about an axis of rotation which is concentric with the central axis of the inlet opening 15 of the muffler or the central axis of the connecting flange 9 of the compressor ( Fig. 1 ).
  • the corners of the housing 13 of the muffler 11 are at least partially rounded, as indicated at 39.
  • This construction of the muffler 11 with removable and interchangeable mounting flange 17 and flange 29 allows in addition to the continuous angle adjustment about the axis AA in Fig. 2 an additional degree of freedom of adjustment of the muffler 11 relative to the compressor 1, namely by turning by 180 ° about an axis BB perpendicular to the axis AA (see. Fig. 2 ).
  • the horizontally cut representation of the muffler 11 in Fig. 4 also illustrates an inventive preferred design of the flow path of the compressed air in the muffler from the inlet port 15 to the outlet port 19.
  • the inserted into the housing 13 tubular flange core 23 is over more than half, preferably about three quarters of its circumference of a curved wall 41 and an adjoining part of the housing wall surrounded so that they have a substantially constant distance from the peripheral surface of the Flanschkerns 23, so that a ring channel 43 is formed of substantially constant width.
  • As flow obstacles lining with insulating material, metal membranes or the like. (Not shown) is provided.
  • the second advantage of the illustrated construction of the muffler is that by suitably dimensioning the width of the annular channel 43, and choosing a suitable material for the walls bounding it, the annular channel 43 can be acoustically tuned to the frequency spectrum to be attenuated, so that an additional sound reduction is achieved.
  • the compressed air After the compressed air has passed through the sound-absorbing flow path in the housing 13 of the muffler, it passes to the outlet opening 19, via a housing projection 47, in which a deflection of the compressed air by 90 ° upwards.
  • the deflection lug 47 is attached to the main part of the housing 13 of the muffler 11 by fastening screws 49 and can be removed after loosening the screws 49 and in at least one rotated by 180 ° position, possibly also in two rotated by 90 ° positions, again attached, so that the outflow direction of the silenced compressed air is directed downward or to the side.
