Definitions

  • This patent is directed to a vibratory apparatus and related methods, and, in particular, to a fluid-cooled vibratory apparatus and a method for cooling.
  • the trough of the vibratory apparatus may be water-cooled by joining a plate to the trough to define a space adjacent to a surface of the trough, and then passing water through the space.
  • this trough is made of copper.
  • the velocity of the water through the space is significantly lower.
  • a vibratory apparatus includes a trough assembly comprising first and second plates, the first and second plates joined together in close proximity so as to define a space through which a fluid may pass at a high velocity, a vibration generator coupled to the trough assembly, and a frame resiliently coupled to the trough assembly.
  • a system includes a vibratory apparatus, which includes a trough assembly comprising first and second plates, the first and second plates joined together in close proximity so as to define a space through which a fluid may pass at a high velocity, a vibration generator coupled to the trough assembly, and a frame resiliently coupled to the trough assembly.
  • the system also includes and a pump having an inlet in fluid communication with a fluid source and an outlet in fluid communication with the space.
  • a method for cooling a material uses a vibratory apparatus comprising a trough assembly comprising first and second plates, the first and second plates joined together in close proximity so as to define a space through which a fluid may pass at a high velocity.
  • the method includes feeding a material onto the trough assembly at a first point, vibrating the trough assembly to move the material along the trough assembly in a first direction to a second point, and passing a fluid through the space at a high velocity.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a vibratory apparatus according to the present disclosure
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the vibratory apparatus of FIG. 1 , with the load plate assembly removed;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the vibratory apparatus of FIG. 1 taken along line 3 - 3 in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of one of the header tanks taken along line 4 - 4 in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the load plate assembly
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the load plate assembly of FIG. 5 taken along line 6 - 6 in FIG. 5 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the vibratory apparatus and fluid transport subsystem, illustrating fluid flow through the vibratory apparatus of FIG. 1 .
  • the fluid-cooled vibratory apparatus 20 may be part of a system 22 , which may include, for example, equipment to circulate the fluid (water, for example) through the vibratory apparatus 20 .
  • the system 22 may also include equipment to move the vibratory apparatus 20 relative to the ground, so as to change the alignment of feed and discharge points of the apparatus 20 relative to other equipment, for example. Further discussion of the system 22 will be taken up below as appropriate.
  • the vibratory apparatus 20 may include a trough assembly 30 , one or more vibration generators 32 , and a support frame 34 . While the vibratory apparatus 20 may be assembled as a feeder, as illustrated, it will be recognized that the vibratory apparatus 20 could just as well be assembled as a conveyor.
  • the trough assembly 30 in turn may include first and second trough plates 40 , 42 having ends 44 , 46 that may be spaced in a longitudinal direction between a first (or feed) end 48 and a second (or discharge) end 50 of the trough assembly 30 .
  • the trough plates 40 , 42 may also have spaced side edges 52 , 54 that may extend between first and second sides 56 , 58 of the trough assembly 30 in a lateral direction.
  • the first plate 40 may be described as disposed “above” the second plate 42 , although this orientational convention is assumed simply for ease of discussion.
  • the first and second plates 40 , 42 may be catenary in shape.
  • the first plate 40 has opposing sides 70 , 72 and a curved floor 74 , and opposing surfaces 76 , 78 .
  • the second plate 42 has opposing sides 80 , 82 with a curved floor 84 , and opposing surfaces 86 , 88 .
  • surfaces 76 , 86 are the “top” surfaces of the plates 40 , 42 and that surfaces 78 , 88 are the “bottom” surfaces of plates 40 , 42 .
  • the first and second plates 40 , 42 may be joined together along their first and second side edges 52 , 54 to form a space 100 between opposing bottom and top surfaces 78 , 86 .
  • the dimension of the first plate 40 between the side edges 52 , 54 may be smaller than that of the second plate 42 , such that the first plate 40 nests within the second plate 42 , with the sides 70 , 72 abutting the sides 80 , 82 and the floor 74 spaced from the floor 84 .
  • the plates 40 , 42 could have been planar in nature, with the spacing between the opposing surfaces 78 , 86 maintained, for example, through the use of a spacer bar or bars disposed at the first and second side edges 52 , 54 .
  • the sides 70 , 72 may be joined directly to the sides 80 , 82 and the surfaces 78 , 86 are maintained in a spaced relation because of the shapes and relative dimensions of the plates 40 , 42 .
  • the plates 40 , 42 may be joined by welding the sides 70 , 72 , 80 , 82 of plates 40 , 42 together, or other methods of joining, such as through the use of fasteners (e.g., nut-and-bolt), may be used.
  • the catenary shape of the plates 40 , 42 may provide certain advantages. For example, it is believed that the shape of the plates 40 , 42 may help accommodate growth of the plates during heating. Also, because the shape of the floor 74 , it is believed that gaseous fluids, such as air or steam, may not be maintained along the center of the plate 40 , but instead pass along the floor 74 to either side.
  • a catenary plate also may have structural advantages relative to a planar plate when experiencing force loadings. Such advantages are not a necessary part of the disclosed vibratory apparatus 20 , but may be recognized all the same in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the plates 40 , 42 may be made of similar materials, or dissimilar materials.
  • the plate 40 may be made of copper, while the plate 42 may be made of mild steel.
  • both plate 40 and plate 42 may be made of mild steel because of the ability of the vibratory apparatus 20 to dissipate heat loads, even when molten slag is transported or moved along the trough assembly 30 .
  • the space 100 between the plates 40 , 42 may be unobstructed, as illustrated.
  • the space 100 includes a single plenum or passage that extends from the first end 44 of the plates 40 , 42 to the second end 46 .
  • one or more guides may be disposed into the space 100 to divide the space 100 into a plurality of passages, or to alter the shape of the passage.
  • a plurality of guides may be disposed longitudinally in the space 100 to define a plurality of passages, which passages may or may not be in fluid communication with each other laterally except at the ends 44 , 46 .
  • guides or dampers may be disposed in the space at an angle to the longitudinal (e.g., laterally) to increase the length of the passage between the ends 44 , 46 , for example, by providing a serpentine path.
  • fluid may flow in a first direction along a first pass, and then return in a second direction opposite the first direction along a second pass before exiting the assembly 30 .
  • it is believed that better performance may be achieved by keeping the space 100 free of obstructions.
  • header tank 110 , 112 At or near either end 44 , 46 of the plates 40 , 42 may be disposed a header tank 110 , 112 .
  • the header tanks 110 , 112 may have an aperture formed in a wall thereof which permits fluid communication between the tanks 110 , 112 and the space 100 defined between the plates 40 , 42 .
  • the header tanks 110 , 112 may be joined to the plates 40 , 42 by welding, for example, with the aperture in communication with the space 100 .
  • a phenomenon known as “water hammer” may occur. It will be recognized that motion of the vibratory apparatus 20 may cause surging of the fluid passing along the space 100 and in the tanks 110 , 112 . It is believed that collisions of the surges with the walls of the tanks 110 , 112 , as well as cavitation and suction occurring within the water column, can “hammer” tank walls and have a negative effect on part life.
  • the “water hammer” effect may be limited by disposing at least one flexible tube 114 , 116 (e.g., defined by a breather hose) in the tanks 110 , 112 , respectively.
  • a flexible tube 114 , 116 e.g., defined by a breather hose
  • two tubes 114 are disposed in the tank 110
  • two tubes 116 are disposed in tank 112 .
  • the tube 114 is connected to two fittings 118 that are joined to the walls of the tank 110 inside the tank 110 .
  • Mufflers 120 are connected to the fittings 118 outside the tank 110 . Similar assemblies would be present in tank 112 for the tubes 116 .
  • the tubes 114 , 116 thus have an inner space 122 that is not in fluid communication with the tanks 110 , 112 while being disposed physically interior to the tanks 110 , 112 .
  • This inner space 122 is, however, open to the space exterior to the tanks 110 , 112 .
  • the surge acts on the wall of the tubes 114 , 116 , causing an exhaust of air out of the space 122 through the mufflers 120 , thereby accommodating need for additional volume in the tank 110 , 112 .
  • the tube 114 , 116 may return to its normal shape.
  • the distance between opposing surfaces 78 , 86 of the plates 40 , 42 may be approximately 12.7 mm (0.5 inches), which distance may be at least an order smaller than the distance between the side edges 52 , 54 of the first and second plates 40 , 42 .
  • the header tanks 110 , 112 also may each include at least one port 124 , 126 .
  • the header tank 110 may be referred to as an inlet header tank, and the header tank 112 may be referred to as an outlet header tank. Consequently, the port 124 may be referred to as an inlet port, and the port 126 may be referred to as an outlet port. It will be recognized that if the flow were reversed, the tank 110 would become the outlet tank and the tank 112 would become the inlet tank, and the designation of the ports would also be reversed.
  • the ports 124 , 126 may be coupled to a fluid source or to a fluid exhaust.
  • the fluid used as a coolant in the apparatus 20 may be recirculated, such that the fluid that passes through the fluid exhaust passes again into the fluid source. While reference may be made to a fluid source and a fluid exhaust, such reference should not be interpreted to exclude recirculation from the exhaust to the source.
  • the outlet port 126 of the outlet header tank 112 is disposed beyond the end 44 of the plates 40 , 42 .
  • the port 124 of the inlet header tank is disposed between the ends 44 , 46 of the plates 40 , 42 . It is believed that certain advantages may be obtained by having the fluid traverse the length of the trough assembly 30 and exit beyond the first ends of the plates 40 , 42 , and thus beyond the feed point of the trough assembly 30 .
  • the load plate assembly 132 includes a first plate 134 and a second plate 136 .
  • Each of the plates 134 , 136 has opposing ends 138 , 140 , 142 , 144 and opposing side edges 146 , 148 , 150 , 152 .
  • the plates are joined together (by welding, for example) via a spacer 154 disposed between the nested plates 134 , 136 with opposing surfaces 156 , 158 facing each other to define a space 160 therebetween.
  • the plates 134 , 136 may be formed such that, when joined along the ends 138 , 140 , 142 , 144 and side edges 146 , 148 , 150 , 152 , the surfaces 156 , 158 of the plates 134 , 136 are spaced from each other to define the space 160 .
  • the plate 136 has two apertures formed therein. Port fittings 162 , 164 are joined to the plate 136 proximate and in fluid communication with the apertures to define a first port 166 and a second port 168 . The ports 166 , 168 are thus in fluid communication with the space 160 .
  • fluid flows into the first port 166 , through the space 160 , and then out of the second port 168 .
  • the first port 166 may be referred to as the inlet port
  • the second port 168 may be referred to as the outlet port. It will be recognized that if the flow were reversed, then the inlet and outlet nomenclature would also be reversed.
  • baffles or other obstructions addressed above relative to the space 100 may apply to the space 160 . That is, baffles or other obstructions may be placed within the space 160 to define parallel flow paths in the space (or passage or plenum) 160 , or to lengthen the flow path between the first and second ports 166 , 168 . While such embodiments may have their applications, the embodiment as illustrated is obstruction-free.
  • the ports 166 , 168 may be coupled to a fluid source or to a fluid exhaust.
  • the fluid used as a coolant in the load plate assembly 132 may be recirculated, such that the fluid that passes through the fluid exhaust passes again into the fluid source. While reference may be made to a fluid source and a fluid exhaust, such reference should not be interpreted to exclude recirculation from the exhaust to the source.
  • the combination of the trough plates 40 , 42 , the header tanks 110 , 112 and load plate assembly 132 may be supported at various points along the length of the plates 40 , 42 by support structures 180 and ribs 181 .
  • the support structures 180 and ribs 181 may extend laterally between the sides 56 , 58 of the trough assembly 30 .
  • the support structures 180 may have notches 182 formed in along a first edge 184 to accept the assembly of through plates 40 , 42 .
  • the support structures 180 may be joined at the notches 182 to the surface 88 of plate 42 .
  • the ribs 181 may have notches that are joined to the surface 88 of the plate 42 .
  • the support structures 180 may also have plate 186 joined to the first edge 184 on either side 56 , 58 of the trough assembly 30 , and the support structures 180 may have a second plate 188 disposed along a second edge 190 .
  • Attached to the first plate 186 are drive brackets 200 , 202 .
  • the plates 186 and drive brackets 200 , 202 may be joined using nut-and-bolt fasteners, although other joining methods may be used.
  • the drive brackets 200 , 202 are triangular in shape, other shapes may be used in the alternative.
  • each of the generators 32 may include an electric motor 210 .
  • the motors 210 may be operationally coupled to a controller 212 .
  • Each motor 210 has a shaft 214 , which may be disposed at an angle to the trough assembly 30 .
  • Attached to each of the shafts 214 is a pair of eccentric masses 216 . While vibration generators 32 utilizing eccentric masses 216 are illustrated, it will be recognized that other generators may be used in the alternative.
  • the attachment of the vibration generator 32 to the drive brackets 200 , 202 of the trough assembly 30 defines a single-mass or brute force arrangement. It will further be recognized that other arrangements are possible. For example, a resilient coupling may be established between the trough assembly 30 and the vibration generator 32 to define a two-mass arrangement.
  • the second plate 188 along the second edge 190 of the support structures 180 may be joined to pairs of resilient members 220 (see FIG. 3 ).
  • the resilient members 220 may, in turn, be joined to the frame 34 , which may include longitudinally-oriented members 222 joined by cross-members 224 .
  • the trough assembly 30 may be resiliently coupled to the frame 34 via the resilient members 220 .
  • the resilient members 220 may be coil springs, as illustrated, although it will be recognized that other alternative structures exist.
  • the system 22 includes a fluid transport subsystem 230 to move fluid through the space 100 and the tanks 110 , 112 to cool the trough plates 40 , 42 (particularly, plate 40 ).
  • the fluid transport subsystem 230 includes a tank 232 , in which a volume of fluid is contained.

  • the pump 234 also has an outlet coupled to the tank 110 to be in fluid communication with the tank 110 .
  • lines 236 , 238 , 240 couple the pump 234 to the tanks 110 , 232
  • lines 242 , 244 connect the tank 112 to an exhaust (which, as discussed above, may in certain embodiments be coupled to the tank 232 to recirculate the cooling fluid).
  • the lines 236 , 238 , 240 , 242 , 244 may include hoses, for example, the lines 236 , 238 , 240 , 242 , 244 may also include devices such as couplings, fittings, filters, etc.
  • fluid (which may be water, for example) is passed along the fluid transport subsystem 230 and through the vibratory apparatus 20 from right to left. That is, fluid is drawn from the tank 232 by the pump 234 via line 236 , and exhausted through lines 238 , 240 into tank 110 via the inlet port 124 . The fluid then flows from tank 110 through the space 100 to the tank 112 .
