Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the features of the first claim.
  • the invention relates to a device for detecting potential sources of fire or ignition, in particular hot particles or sparks in transport units for combustible substances.
  • Such devices are used in particular for monitoring the interior of pipes and channels in which a flammable, consisting of dusts, liquids or solid particles transported in a fall distance or by means of a conveying air flow is transported.
  • the invention is suitable for use in delivery lines in which highly flammable or explosive, preferably dust-like particles are transported pneumatically.
  • sensors for fire detection are arranged either in or outside the wall of the delivery line or in a displacement body, which is located within the gas stream. These are used especially when the velocity of the gas stream and its loading with solid particles are high, so that monitoring from the pipe wall leads to erroneous results. The same applies to pipes with a relatively large diameter.
  • EP 1422 675 A1 describes a device for decoupling dust-laden systems with the risk of explosion, in which a sensor for detecting changes in the hazardous area outside a decoupling window is arranged, which is connected to an evaluation and Löoing pulp.

  • IR radiation In the leg entering IR radiation is deflected by means of radiation-guiding arcuately extending fibers and fed to a sensor which is located outside the pipeline. This sensor is coupled to a suitable transmitter, with the help of an alarm can be triggered.
  • To realize an entry of the radiation in the one leg of the device different solutions are proposed. As a field of application especially flow for woodworking machines are called.
  • the proposed solutions either have the disadvantage that they consist of a large number of individual parts, that the optical waveguide passes after coupling the transmissible radiation with strong losses to the electrical converter, that the displacer is directed against the air flow, but not aerodynamically shaped and thus the optics are dirty, or that the optical window is not monitored for contamination and the detector is not monitored for operability.
  • the arranged in the conveying line device consisting of an optical detection unit consists of a transparent cylindrical ring, optical reflection surfaces, adjustment units, static elements to give the optical detection unit stability, optical-electrical converter, electronic evaluation unit, an optical pollution monitoring, the may be located inside or outside the pipes and channels to be monitored, and an impact body, for. As a deflector to protect the transparent cylindrical ring from damage.
  • the solution according to the invention provides that the displacement body extending along the delivery line is arranged on a shaft which is fixedly connected to the pipe wall. At one end of the displacement body an aerodynamically shaped deflector is arranged, which is fluidically designed so that it has a low flow resistance.
  • deflectors at both ends of the displacement body. This has advantages if the material flow in the delivery line flows in different directions. The mirror is then to be arranged approximately in the middle of the displacement body so that it fulfills its deflection function.
  • a translucent ring is arranged, in the interior of which a reflector is located. If necessary, the ring may be coated with a special material that allows for wavelength-selected detection.
  • the attachment of the translucent ring can be done by means of thread, preferably a metric fine thread, press fit or gluing. A thread for rapid assembly and interchangeability is advantageous.
  • the reflector used is rotationally symmetrical and has a very high reflection efficiency.
  • an adjustable mirror is arranged in the displacement body. This is to be arranged so that it reflects the radiation into the interior of the shaft.
  • a spark or ignition source within the particle stream that is carried with the gas flow within the tube emits electromagnetic or optical radiation. This radiation passes through the translucent ring to the reflector in the interior of the displacement body and is reflected by the latter via the adjustable mirror along the shaft to an optical receiving and evaluating device at the end of the shaft.
  • the mirror which preferably has a concave surface, is part of a Justiermones that is easy to install and replaceable.
  • a spring and adjusting devices is adjustable so that the electromagnetic radiation of the spark or the ignition source can be precisely and concentrated directed to the optical receiving and evaluation unit at the end of the shaft.
  • the adjustment is interchangeable arranged in the displacement body.
  • a closure cap which can be screwed, on the displacement body.
  • the reflector is rotationally symmetrical and conical. Its design may be conical concave or conical convex, thereby increasing or decreasing the effective viewing angle. Due to the concave configuration of the mirror, it is possible to bundle the radiation concentrated and focused on the optical receiving and evaluating unit.
  • screws such as set screws or cylindrical pins are provided, which cooperate with a spring, such as a coil spring.

  • the adjusting device of the mirror can represent actuators which are arranged around the mirror. This can be piezo elements.
  • the arranged at the end of the shaft receiving unit passes the converted signal to an evaluation, such as a detector, on. It may be a circuit board for evaluating the signal.
  • the shaft means may be arranged with which the shaft is adjustable in the direction of the axis of the conveying pipe parallel to the pipe wall.
  • the shaft can be arranged on an adapter, which allows to connect the shaft firmly to the pipe wall or to insert into this.
  • test emitter such as a transmitting diode.
  • This can emit a signal in the direction of the transparent ring for the examination of the pollution and receive the reflected signal as a measure of pollution.
  • An examination from the inside does not lead to the fact that contamination by dark particles on the outside of the ring are recognized properly. Therefore, it is advantageous to carry out a contamination test by a test emitter from the outside, which is for example mounted on the pipe wall. Both options can be used individually or in combination.
  • the transmission of the signal can be continuous or in time, between one and ten seconds. The returned signal is evaluated.
  • the translucent ring is contaminated to a certain extent, can be made by the evaluation a relevant signal to clean or to change the translucent ring.
  • the signal falls to the top of the reflector, which monitors the surface of the ring all around, ie 360 degrees.
  • the monitoring is done with a single detector. This is particularly advantageous over tests from the outside, where a jet only partially enters the ring, whereby only the permeability at the entrance surface is tested.
  • the translucent ring made of glass, quartz, plastic or sapphire. Furthermore, it is advantageous to design the deflector with a smooth surface as a steel sleeve with a rubber, Teflon or Halarbe Anlagenung, wherein the reflector is arranged on the opposite side and both parts structurally form a unit. It is advantageous réellestecken reflector and deflector directly on the translucent ring in the form of a press fit.

  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that it consists of few parts and thus is inexpensive to produce, the received signals reliably reach a detector or an evaluation unit and at any time there is information on how transparent the optical window is, so that this quickly and easily can be replaced.
  • an angle of 360 degrees is monitored by means of a detector by a radiation receiver in connection with the device for reporting, so only one evaluation unit is required for an all-round monitoring.
