AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing coolers, the gaps between the conveyor beams cannot be completely sealed, causing bulk materials to fall out and affecting cooling efficiency.

Method used

A seal with a double U-shaped or multi-U-shaped profile is used, including at least two movable sealing elements, forming a complex sealing path to prevent material from falling out, and a chamber is set in the sealing gap to collect the material, and the material in the chamber is discharged by a compressed air generating device.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents bulk materials from falling through the gaps in the conveyor beams, ensures cooling efficiency, avoids material accumulation, and simplifies the replacement and maintenance of seals.

Abstract

The invention relates to a cooler for cooling bulk material, in particular cement clinker, having a gas-permeable floor (12) through which cooling gas can flow, the gas-permeable floor serving to receive the bulk material and to convey the bulk material in a conveying direction (F), wherein the gas-permeable floor (12) comprises a plurality of conveying beams (14) which are mounted so as to be movable in the conveying direction (F) and against the conveying direction (F), and wherein a seal (16) is mounted between two adjacent conveying beams (14), the seal having at least two sealing elements (34, 36) which are mounted so as to be movable relative to one another. Each sealing element (34, 36) has a sealing profile (46, 48) which interacts such that a sealing gap (50) is formed between the sealing profiles, the sealing gap having a double-U profile or a multiple-U profile.
