Abstract
The module (19) for a conveyor system for bulk goods has at least one first tubular section (20). A second tubular section (23), which is provided with at least one coupling piece (21), branches away from said first tubular section. The second tubular section (23) adjoins a valve (13) which has three connections (25, 26). The first connection forms a flow-connection with the second tubular section (23). The second connection (26) of the valve (13) can be selectively connected to the first connection (25) by means of a first line and to the third connection (25) by means of a second line (48).
Claims19
A module for a conveyor system for bulk goods, the module comprising:
- a first tubular section;
- a second tubular section branching off the first tubular section and provided with a coupling piece;
- a valve connected by the coupling piece to the second tubular section, the valve comprising a first connector, a second connector, and a third connector;
- wherein the first connector is connected in flow communication to the second tubular section;
- wherein the second connector is selectively connectable via a first line with the first connector and via a second line with the third connector;
- wherein the valve comprises a parallelepipedal housing and a valve slider slidably supported in the parallelepipedal housing, wherein the first line and the second line are disposed in the valve slider;
- wherein the parallelepipedal housing of the valve comprises two sidewalls positioned opposite each other and a bottom connecting the two sidewalls, wherein the second and third connectors are arranged at the two sidewalls of the parallelepipedal housing, and wherein the first connector is arranged at the bottom of the parallelepipedal housing;
- wherein the valve slider comprises a parallelepipedal frame comprising two opposed sides, wherein the two opposed sides each comprise a through opening, and wherein the second line connects the through openings to each other.
A conveyor system for bulk goods, the conveyor system comprising:
- a matrix station comprised of modules, wherein the modules each comprise:
- a first tubular section;
- a second tubular section branching off the first tubular section and provided with a coupling piece;
- a valve connected by the coupling piece to the second tubular section, the valve comprising a first connector, a second connector, and a third connector;
- wherein the first connector is connected in flow communication to the second tubular section;
- wherein the second connector is selectively connectable via a first line with the first connector and via a second line with the third connector;
- wherein the valve comprises a parallelepipedal housing and a valve slider slidably supported in the parallelepipedal housing, wherein the first line and the second line are disposed in the valve slider;
- wherein the parallelepipedal housing of the valve comprises two sidewalls positioned opposite each other and a bottom connecting the two sidewalls, wherein the second and third connectors are arranged at the two sidewalls of the parallelepipedal housing, and wherein the first connector is arranged at the bottom of the parallelepipedal housing;
- wherein the valve slider comprises a parallelepipedal frame comprising two opposed sides, wherein the two opposed sides each comprise a through opening, and wherein the second line connects the through openings to each other;
- two or more senders;
- at least one consumer;
- wherein the two or more senders are connectable by a line connection via the matrix station to the at least one consumer.
