Definitions
- the field for this invention includes any type of industry which needs to transfer or transport bulk materials by means of conveyor belts or through chutes, on tables, inclined planes, vibratory transporters or any other form, such as the mining, metallurgical, agricultural, forestry, plastics, chemical, cellulose and paper industries among others.
- This non-continuous self cleaning system acts as a scraping device and cleaner of metals trapped by permanent magnets or electromagnets.
- the non-continuous, self cleaning system of magnets and electromagnets will displace and clean off the ferrous metals, avoiding their accumulation on the magnetic faces which would reduce their efficiency as separators, and will also avoid the trapped particles from falling or being brushed off again into the flow of materials due to the overload of particles on the magnetic separators.
- a manually operated sliding plate is used.
- the plate is made from a non-magnetic material, generally series 300 stainless steel, containing one or more metallic sections which move the trapped iron particles away from the coverage of the magnetic field. Some manufacturers call this mechanism a "stripper pan" .
- arm stripper which consists of a non-magnetic arm which is moved manually on a pivot from one corner of the magnetic face of the magnet, covering the whole surface.
- a self cleaning system consisting of an endless rubber band or belt which revolves round the magnet, driven by a four or two pulley mechanism with shafts and bearings, one of which is powered by a motor and reduction gear drive system.
- the belt is equipped with metal or rubber sweeper strips, which slide the trapped iron particles away from the area covered by the magnetic field until they fall or are displaced to one side or in line, depending on the position of the magnet in relation to the flow of material and depending on the direction of travel of the belt.
- the trapped iron particles can also be removed manually from the face of the separator. Generally, however, the electromagnet is switched off so that the iron particles fall by gravity or are easier to remove manually.
- the iron particles either fall directly onto the transporter over which the magnet is suspended and are then removed manually, or it becomes necessary to move the equipment from its working position to avoid the iron particles falling into the material or into undesirable places, and once the magnet is clean, the equipment is returned to its original position.
- Automatic cleaning A self cleaning system identical to the one described for permanent magnets and for which it is not necessary to switch off the electromagnet.
- the disadvantages of the foregoing methods, mechanisms and systems for cleaning are basically those of inefficiency and danger for the operator, especially in the case of manual methods, with or without mechanical assistance, as they depend entirely on the skill of the person in charge of cleaning the surface of the magnet .
- This person runs the risk of injury through being trapped by the magnetic field or by sudden release of the iron particles, which can also fall back into the material flow from which they should be separated.
- these manual methods, with or without mechanical assistance are slow, and therefore, relatively unproductive. Their speed will depend on the skill acquired by the operator to meticulously carry out the cleaning process in the minimum time.
- the systems of automatic cleaning using a cleaning belt have the disadvantage of taking up too much space, especially in the case of those with two pulleys whose diameters must be greater than the height of the magnet .
- the belts lose their alignment, especially when working on an inclined plane, and they stretch with use. This requires continual adjustment to regulate belt tension and subjects the shafts and bearings of the drive and driven pulleys to mechanical stress.
- the belts and their sweeper strips are subject to continuous wear and the drive system must function without stoppages. These are high cost mechanisms due to the number of moving parts involved in the consequent wear and maintenance and lubrication requirements, etc. Their direction of expulsion of the trapped metal particles and direction of rotation are closely linked to the design of the magnets, and once they have left the factory, these are difficult to change or modify.
- the obvious solution to the above problem is to have a cleaning mechanism which is not subject to the skill of the operator, which makes the best use of available space and which allows for the sweeping off, extraction and elimination of iron particles from permanent magnets or electromagnets once these particles have been attracted and trapped on their magnetic surfaces, using fewer components subject to wear and requiring maintenance.
- the mechanism should also be suitable for equipment suspended above conveyor belts or their head pulleys, over chutes or as the base of these, over tables, inclined planes, conveyors and vibratory feeders of any type.
- the non-continuous, self cleaning system for permanent magnets and electromagnets proposed by this invention is in itself a clear breakthrough in the field as it includes the attachment of a grooved sheet or plate of non-magnetic material to the magnetic or active surface of the magnet over which a non-magnetic toothed sweeper operates.
- the function of both these elements is to prove a meticulous cleaning of the magnetic surface as the sweeper's teeth fit perfectly into the grooves of the sheet .
- the sweeper slides across on guides located on each side of the grooved sheet and these guides ensure that the sweeper and the sheet are kept in close contact.
- the sweeper is connected at each end to a spring and these springs are stretched when the sweeper is moved to its trigger point by the driven nuts on each side.
- the nuts are driven by the threaded rods on screws which revolve by means of an electric motor connected to each of them. These screws are housed in two tubes which protect them and which guide the moveable nuts.
- the sweeper Once the sweeper is in place, it is held by a latch device which protrudes through the sheet or plate on one side of the mechanism. The moveable nuts are then returned to the opposite side by a counter clockwise rotation of the screws. On reaching the end of its travel, one of the nuts lifts a bar attached to the latch thus freeing the sweeper, which then sweeps across the face of the magnet being pulled by the force of the stretched springs in the same way as a stone is shot from a catapult.
- the sweeper slides between the sheet attached to the face of the magnet and the iron particles, which tend to stay in the same place and are then in position to be swept off when the sweeper is again triggered.
- the sweeper is stopped at the end of its run by means of shock absorbing springs placed on each side and is then ready to start a new cleaning cycle.
- the positioning of the moveable nuts which push the sweeper back to its trigger point and the subsequent activation of the latch are controlled by limit switches which make contact with them and which, together with an electric control panel, allow the non-continuous self cleaning system to be operated, either manually or automatically, by remote control or from a distance, by means of a sensor of the iron particles trapped by the magnet, with timers, computerized means or by an operator.
- a warning may be given of the start of the cleaning cycle or release of the wiper by a sound or visual alarm or both.
- the cleaning cycles may be recorded for operational control, maintenance or statistics.
- the parts that are subject to wear and tear are easier to change and cost less than the belts of the traditional systems .
- Sound or visual alarms can be inclined to warn of the cleaning operation and discharge of iron particles.

- FIGURE 7 is a left side overhead view of the non- continuous, self cleaning mechanism for magnets.
- the non-continuous, self cleaning system or automatic cleaning system of permanent magnets or electromagnets is formed by a non-magnetic, moveable, toothed sweeper arm 1 which slides across a non-magnetic grooved plate or sheet 2 which is attached to the face of the magnet 3.
- the sweeper arm 1 has at its ends perforated components 4 to which are connected one of the ends of the catapult springs 5 whose other ends are inserted in a perforation of the projecting plates 6, bolted to the forward edge of the non-magnetic grooved plate 2.
- Each of the springs 5 is located below the sides of the magnet 3 and above the grooved plate 2 , making a longitudinal movement from the front to the back of the mechanism and vice versa.
- the endless screws 8 return the moveable nuts 14 to the front of the mechanism by reverse rotation of the motors 9.
- the tubes 7 and the springs 5 are shielded by a protective covering 13.
