Description

Nov. 3, 1964 D. H. MCNEIL CLEANER FOR AIR SCREEN Filed Sept. 15, 1961 INVENTOR, DONALD H MCNEIL ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,155,473 CLEANER FOR AIR SEIREEN Donald Hector McNeil, Brantford, Ontario, Canada, assignor t0 Cockshutt Farm Equipment of (Ianada Limited, a corporation of Canada Filed Sept. 15, 1961, Ser. No. 138,505 7 Claims. (Cl. 55294) This invention relates to a device for cleaning an air screen of solid matter trapped by the screen, and is particularly concerned with cleaning radiator screens of combines and other travelling agricultural machines.
It is an object of the invention to provide a simple and effective screen cleaning device.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a side view of the front end of an internal combustion engine for a combine, with a radiator in front of the engine, showing in section an air screen mounted in front of the radiator and, partly in section and partly broken away, means for cleaning the air screen;
FIGURE 2 is a front view, partly broken away, of the apparatus of FIGURE 1; and
FIGURE 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 3-3 in FIGURE 1.
The drawings are not to scale, the size of parts of the screen cleaning means having been exaggerated for clarity of illustration.
In the drawings the numeral 1 indicates an internal combustion engine of a combine. The engine 1 has at its front end a fan 2 which draws primary air through a cooling radiator 3 in front of the fan.
The primary air intake for the radiator 3 is by a casing or housing 4 which fits closely around the radiator 3 and confines the air flowing to the radiator. The housing 4 has at its front end a flat screen 5 provided with numerous openings 6 on a circular area, as shown in FIG- URE 2. The screen filters from the primary air any chaff, straw or other debris which would otherwise lodge in the radiator and clog it. Rearwardly of the fan 2 and below the fan drive shaft 7 is a funnel-shaped air scoop 8. The air scoop 8 is supported from the engine 1 by means of a bracket 9. Some of the primary air is blown by the fan 2 into the air scoop 8 and flows as a secondary air stream through a tube or pipe 10 which passes below the radiator 3 and then upwards in front of the radiator to an elbow 11. The elbow 11 is supported by a strut 12 and directs the secondary air stream through a bearing 13 into a rotatable, tubular shaft 14. The shaft 14 is journalled in the bearing 13 of the strut and in a bearing 15 in the screen 5, the latter being formed of perforated sheet metal and therefore having ample stiffness to support the shaft and the devices assembled upon it.
Between the screen 5 and the strut 12 a propeller 16 is fixed on the shaft 14. Being in the stream of primary air, the propeller 16 rotates the shaft. Also fixed on the shaft 14 is a radial bafiie 17 which provides an elongated conduit 18 downstream of but adjacent to the screen, the conduit communicating through holes 19 with the interior of the shaft 14 and having along the length of the conduit a series of openings 20 facing and close to the screen. As seen in FIG. 3, the bafile also has a pair of wings 21 extending outwardly from the conduit near the screen to obstruct flow of primary air through the narrow strip of the screen in front of the baffle. The baffle 17 extends at its opposite ends to the periphery of the perforated area of the screen 5 but does not rub against the screen.
The shaft 14 includes a. solid stub 22 which protrudes through the bearing 15 to the outside of the screen 5, and a sweeper 23 is fixed to the stub 22 close to but not rubbing against the front or upstream side of the screen.
3,155,473 Patented Nov. 3, 1964 "ice As best seen in FIGURE 2, the sweeper consists of two radial vanes 24 near the baffle 17 and extending to the periphery of the perforated area of the screen. The vanes are inclined to the screen with their leading edges just clear of the screen. One sweeper vane is located in front of one wing 21 of the bafile 1'7 and the other sweeper vane is located in front of the other wing, so that the leading edges of the vanes slightly trail the bafiie openings 20 as the shaft 14. rotates.
The operation of the device will now be described. The primary air, after passing inwardly through the screen 5, impinges upon the propeller 16 and causes the shaft 14 to rotate. After passing through the radiator 3, a portion of the primary air is blown by the fan 2 into the air scoop 8 and becomes secondary air. The secondary air travels under the pressure created by the fan 2, through the pipe 1% and shaft 14 and into the conduit 18 of the baffle 17 where it is discharged through the openings 2t and thence through the screen 5, from rear to front, dislodging any solid matter that has been screened from the primary air. Since the bafile 17 is rotating, successive strips or segments of the screen are subjected to the stream of secondary air from the openings 20. The sweeper vanes 24, trailing the discharge of secondary air outwardly through the screen 5, hat or fling away from the screen the solid matter dislodged by the secondary air, and the vanes also create turbulence which seems to be helpful in dispelling chaff and the like. The baffle prevents inward flow of primary air in the region of secondary air flow through the screen, since primary air flow in this region would of course tend to hold the solid matter on the screen.
It will be seen that the screen cleaning device using the propeller 16 does not require a mechanical drive extending from the engine past the radiator, and that the arrangement of secondary air blowing bathe 17 and sweeper 23 requires no frictional rubbing or brushing of the screen.
The propeller 16 is shown in a location directly behind the bafl'le 17, but it can of course be fixed at a different angle on the shaft so as to be more in the main stream of primary air. The invention may also be used in an arrangement in which the bafile 1'7 and sweeper 23 are stationary and the screen 5 is rotated. The supply of secondary air can be taken from a scoop rearward of the propeller 16, near its periphery, so that the tube 10 need not extend from one side of the radiator to the other. If desired, secondary air can be provided by a special power driven blower fan.
