摘要:
This invention relates to a method for easy installation and removal of a screen assembly for vibratory machinery and more particularly to shake table screening. The screen assembly comprises a screen frame, a screen cloth and a screen bed, whereby no clamping components are visible on top of the screen. Each assembly section can be controlled independently and clamping force is controlled by a pneumatic regulator located near an air line connection on the side of a shaker.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for the easy installation or removal of screen elements from a shaker table without the use of tools. Pneumatic cylinders are used to move hold down bars up and down to either allow for screen elements to be installed or removed from the screen bed section assembly, or to clamp them into the screen bed section assembly of a shaker so that the screen elements will not move during shaker operations.

A screen system employs a resiliently mounted housing, a vibration generator mounted to the housing, a mounting frame fixed to the resiliently mounted housing and a support surface. This system receives a screen including a screen frame and pre-tensioned screen cloth. The frame includes an inwardly extending mounting flange accessible from below the screen when placed in the housing. Clips pivotally mounted relative to the mounting frame include a first rounded lever extending upwardly to selectively engage the inwardly extending mounting flange. Second levers extend downwardly to cooperate with actuators. The actuators include inflatable bodies with contacts which, upon inflation, force the clips to engage the inwardly extending mounting flanges. This engagement retains the screen on a resiliently mounted housing and is able to further tension the screen in place.

Screen assemblies having a plurality of supports assembled with peripheral screen frames with screen cloth extending fully over the assemblies. The supports are assembled with each other and with the screen frame using dovetail mechanisms. Each support includes a cell structure having walls defining open cells. The walls have an elongate cross section to provide thickness to the structure. A thin support grid is integrally formed with the walls with the top of the support grid and the top of the walls lying in the same plane. The top of the surrounding frame also lies in this plane. The walls and the frame each have energy directors for ultrasonic bonding to the screen cloth laid over the assembly. The lower edge of the walls and of the screen frame also lie within a plane and have energy directors for receipt of a larger mesh closure screen to retain self-cleaning sliders or elements within the cells. The cells have no straight edges in plan. The support grid is defined by elongate elements each having a rounded upper surface to reduce stress on the screen cloth. The screen cloth may be lightly tensioned and can be of polymeric material as well as of metal such as stainless.

A screen assembly, the process for its manufacture, the apparatus used in the process and an adhesive presenting a system and the final product for accurately tensioned bonded screens. The screens include a screen frame and screen cloth bonded thereto by adhesive using bisphenol F epoxy resin, amine adduct hardener, a substantial percentage of amorphous silica and small amounts of glycerin and fumed or precipitated silicon dioxide. Titanium dioxide may also be employed for color. A screen assembly apparatus includes a screen cloth tensioning frame and a platform positionable adjacent a tensioned screen cloth. The platform includes heating elements about the periphery of a sheet heater on a lift table. The heating elements receive a screen frame which can be lifted into contact with a screen cloth in the tensioning frame. The sheet heater approaches the screen cloth itself. A thermal control cycle is presented which allows the screen frame to cool prior to the tensioned screen. Blowers enhance the cooling process of the screen frame. Resilient devices are provided to maintain tension in the screen cloth irrespective of heat expansion and to maintain a uniform pressure of the peripheral heating elements against the screen frame and in turn against the screen cloth.

A screen retention mechanism for use with vibratory separators is disclosed. The screen retention mechanism includes a structural frame mounted to a vibratory separator into which a plurality of lightweight and flexible screen elements are inserted into multiple tows of perforated screen supports. The perforated screen supports are bonded to the structural frame and are aligned parallel to the direction in which solids are conveyed by a vibratory motion. The invention further features an improved retention mechanism whereby screen elements are conveniently and selectively restrained.

Methods of manufacturing screen elements for use with vibratory separators are disclosed. The screen elements include a curved structural frame with perforations therein, the perforations designed to maximize both open area and process liquid throughput. At least one layer of screen cloth is attached to the curved structural frame by means of fluidized powdered epoxy resin.

A screening system including a vibratory screen separator having a resiliently mounted frame with a low frequency vibratory drive coupled to that frame. A taut screen is rigidly mounted in the frame and a vibration transmitter assembly is resiliently mounted to the frame and fixed to the taut screen. The vibration transmitter includes a planar ring compressed against the taut screen and vibration generators. The vibration generators are air turbines with eccentric weights. The frame includes support elements extending from the cylindrical outer housing sections of the separator to a concentrically mounted support ring. Compressed air is provided to the turbines through hollow structure within the frame. Valves control exhaust from the turbines. The low frequency vibratory drive operates in a range of about 8 Hz to 30 Hz while the vibration generators provided by the air turbines operate in a range of about 275 Hz to 600 Hz.

A vibratory screen system including a screen assembly having screen cloth on both the top and the bottom of the frame. The screen cloth on the bottom has openings larger than and up to five times the size of the openings on the upper screen cloth. A pattern of dividers divide the screen into compartments. The screens are bonded to the frame and to the pattern of dividers.

A counterweight assembly on a vertical, rotatably mounted shaft which is adjustable. First and second eccentric weight assemblies are fixed to the shaft. One of the eccentric weight assemblies includes a support fixed to the shaft to extend laterally of the shaft. The support has a ring of slots displaced laterally of the shaft. Two eccentric weights are rotatably mounted about the shaft and have pins extending to the ring of slots.
