Rotary slide assembly, and method for monitoring the wear of a slide in a rotary slide assembly

A method for monitoring the wear of one or more slides (7) in a rotary slide assembly (1), comprising a rotary slide rotor (5) and one or more slide receiving areas (6) for the slide or slides (7) in the rotary slide rotor (5), comprising the step of detecting a wear state of the one or more slides (7), by generating an electric or electronic signal or by a request of an electric or electronic signal by the slide or slides (7) themselves or the one or more associated slide receiving areas (6) in their interaction with the slide or slides (7), wherein the signal is continuously generated and reflects a wear state of the slide (7) or slide(s), wherein a value (WACTUAL) for a relative position of the slide (7) in the slide receiving area (6) is detected and evaluated by a sensor (S) at a standstill of the rotary slide assembly or continuously during operation of the rotary slide assembly (1), wherein the detected value (WACTUAL) is a distance measure (c) detected at each revolution or at each xth revolution of the rotary slide rotor (5).

A rotary slide assembly (1) with a rotary slide device (2) comprising a housing (3), a rotary slide chamber (4) and a rotary slide rotor (5), wherein slides (7) are arranged radially movably in slide receiving areas (6) in the rotary slide rotor (5), wherein one or more of the slides (7) themselves or one or more of the slide receiving areas (6) in their interaction with the slide or slides (7) are configured to generate a requestable electric or electronic signal for detecting a wear state of the slide or slides (7), wherein detection of the wear state is performed when the rotary slide assembly (1) is at a standstill and/or during operation of the rotary slide assembly (1), wherein a sensor (S) is provided which allows the position of a slide (7) in the slide receiving area (6) to be detected in a certain angular position of the rotary slide rotor (5) or independently thereof, for comparison of the detected value (W) with a set value (WSET), Wherein the Sensor (S) is a Proximity Sensor (15), a Transponder or a Tactile sensor, the signals of which are evaluated electronically.

A rotary slide assembly (1) with a rotary slide device (2) comprising a housing (3), a rotary slide chamber (4) and a rotary slide rotor (5), wherein slides (7) are arranged radially movably in slide receiving areas (6) in the rotary slide rotor (5), wherein one or more of the slide receiving areas (6) in their interaction with the slide or slides (7) are configured to be used to generate a requestable electric or electronic signal for detecting a wear state of the slide or slides (7), wherein, the detection of the wear state is performed when the rotary slide assembly (1) is at a standstill and/or during operation of the rotary slide assembly (1), wherein the slides (7) are received in the slide receiving areas (6) which extend over an entire axial length of the rotor, and further comprising a light barrier having a light transmitter and a light receiver, wherein the light barrier is arranged in such a way that prior to reaching a wear limit, the light barrier is interrupted by the slide (7) located in the receiving area, and upon reaching the wear limit, the emitted light beam can reach the light receiver through the resulting free space in the slide receiving area (6).

A rotary slide assembly (1) with a rotary slide device (2) comprising a housing (3), a rotary slide chamber (4) and a rotary slide rotor (5), wherein slides (7) are arranged radially movably in slide receiving areas (6) in the rotary slide rotor (5), wherein one or more of the slides (7) themselves or the one or more receiving areas (6) in their interaction with the slide or slides (7) are used to generate a requestable electric or electronic signal for detecting a wear state of the slide or slides (7), wherein detection of the wear state is performed when the rotary slide assembly (1) is at a standstill and/or during operation of the rotary slide assembly (1), wherein a detected value (W) is determined by a current generated by a magnet and a coil during one revolution of the rotary slide rotor, wherein the assembly is configured to detect not only a state of reaching the wear limit but, also increasing wear of the slide (7) in the form of continuously detected values since the current generated by the magnet (23) and the coil (22) increases with increasing wear of the slide (7) and the related increasing proximity of the magnet (23) and coil (22), so that a detected current level indicates a current wear state of the slide (7).
