Definitions

  • the invention relates to an extruder for producing profiles of non-ferrous metal, wherein the extruder has at least one ram, which is driven by at least one hydraulic piston-cylinder system, wherein the at least one hydraulic piston-cylinder system supplied by at least one pump with hydraulic fluid and wherein the at least one pump is driven by an electric motor, which is in communication with a three-phase power supply and is provided with Mittein for soft start.
  • a generic extruder is from the EP 2 000 226 B1 known.
  • a three-phase asynchronous motor is used to drive the pump.
  • star-delta circuit For gently starting such high-performance motors, in particular three-phase motors, it is known that these are formed with a star-delta circuit.
  • the star-Dreteck circuit is used to limit the starting current of an asynchronous motor in delta connection. The motor is brought to speed in the star connection. When switching is then theoretically only the delta current needed, which corresponds to the current speed. Thus, the inrush current is reduced to 1/3 of the current in the case of delta direct turn-on.
  • the mains phases and motor field may be in opposition. This leads to compensation processes, which can disadvantageously lead to a very high switching current peak.
  • the invention is therefore the object of a generic extruder in such a way that on the one hand it is possible to achieve a problematic startup of the system, on the other hand in operation but then also to drive an energy-efficient operation and in particular the motors for driving the pump only in the To operate dimensions as required by the pressing process.
  • This object is achieved in that the means for soft start to perform a phase angle of the electric motor supplied AC separation are formed.
  • At least two thyristors or bidirectional thyristor triodes are provided to cut at least two of the three phases of the AC voltage.
  • the electric motor is in particular an asynchronous motor.
  • a pump can supply two or more hydraulic piston-cylinder systems with hydraulic fluid. But it is also possible that several pumps supply via communicating fluid lines at least one hydraulic piston-cylinder system with hydraulic fluid. In the latter case it can be provided that supply the number of pumps via the communicating fluid lines at least two hydraulic piston-cylinder systems with hydraulic fluid.
  • thyristors or triacs are preferably provided, which make the phase angle of the voltage and control.
  • the thyristors or triacs reduce the voltage when switched on by means of a phase control. Subsequently, the phase control can be reduced until the full mains voltage is reached.
  • the electronics can be bridged by means of a relay or a contactor to reduce the power loss. As a result, a start under nominal load is possible.
  • variable pump shut-off rules out that pumps only produce waste heat.
  • the related risk increases without the use of the invention to the extent the greater the number of unneeded pumps during pressing.
  • the embodiment of the invention is characterized by a simple technique that is mature available.
  • the pumps not required in the pressing process can be switched off in a simple manner. This can be done in particular from pressing times of more than 90 seconds, which - as stated - corresponds to a large part of the production. Even short cycles are energy-efficient mobile.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a press ram 1 of an extruder for producing profiles of non-ferrous metal, which is actuated by two hydraulic piston-cylinder systems 2 (see the direction of the double arrow in Fig. 1 ).
  • the hydraulic piston-cylinder systems 2 receive pressurized hydraulic fluid from a pump 3 via a fluid line 8.
  • the pump 3 in turn is driven by an electric motor 4.
  • the electric motor 4 is electrically connected to a three-phase network 5, which has the three phases L 1 , L 2 and L 3 . Between the three-phase network 5 and the Electric motor 4, a motor controller (electronic circuit) is arranged, which is referred to as means 6 for soft start.
  • a motor controller electronic circuit
  • the means 6 for soft start are in Fig. 2 shown in more detail.
  • the means 6 comprise for two phases - namely for the phases L1 and L3 - depending on a bidirectional thyristor triode 7.
  • the operation of the bidirectional thyristor triode 7 is in the FIGS. 3a to 3c played.
  • Fig. 3a the uninfluenced sinusoidal curve of the voltage U of a phase over time t is sketched. This voltage curve corresponds to the full network performance and is supplied to the electric motor 4 when the engine is running and should bring full power.
  • the phase of the voltage waveform U is cut. Accordingly, the power is transmitted from the mains to the electric motor 4 only when the bidirectional thyristor triode 7 is "ignited".
  • the times t, to which this takes place periodically, are indicated by the arrows 9 - symbolizing the ignition - in Fig. 3b and 3c specified. Only the solid areas of the voltage curve thus ensure that the electric motor 4 energy is supplied from the three-phase network 5.
  • the dashed curves indicate the time range over which - in the absence of ignition which has not yet occurred - no energy is supplied to the electric motor 4.
  • FIGS. 3b and 3c show that depending on the ignition timing more or less energy is passed from the three-phase system to the electric motor. In the situation, how they look Fig. 3b results, it is more energy than in the case of the later ignition according to Fig. 3c ,
  • Fig. 4 It can be seen that three electric motors 4 operate in parallel in order to supply two hydraulic piston-cylinder systems 2 connected in parallel with pressurized fluid via a fluid line 8.
  • FIG. 3 shows three pumps 3 associated with the piston-cylinder systems 2, each electric motor 4 of each pump 3 being provided with means 6 for soft starting and the two lower pumps being switched off as required.
  • Fig. 5 is shown - but only very schematically - that between an upper state (“pump X on”) and a lower state (“pump X off”) can also be acted upon by the means 6 for soft start to either start the electric motor or shut down.
  • the pumps can be operated as needed. For example, they only start to block change or depending on the press speed that is to be achieved.
  • the retrofitting of the proposed system according to the invention is simple, since the electric motor or frequency converter does not have to be FU-suitable. Power cables can be used without screen. Furthermore, there is only a small amount of space in the control cabinet.
