Abstract

A device for circulating wastewater is received in a tank, in which a conical or hyperboloid-like stirring body is mounted on a vertical stirring shaft, wherein the stirring body is composed from a plurality of segments produced from metal along radially extending joining zones.

Claims (28)

1. A stirring body for circulating wastewater received in a tank, wherein the stirring body has a conical or hyperboloid shape and a central connector piece for connection to a stirring shaft,

the stirring body is formed from a plurality of segments, which is produced from metal and which is assembled along joining zones extending from the stirring shaft to a peripheral edge of the stirring body, and

bent sheet metal portions of two adjacent segments form a transport rib in a connected state.

2. The stirring body according to claim 1 , wherein the joining zones extend at least in part parallel or in a slanting manner relative to a radial direction.

3. The stirring body according to claim 1 , wherein the joining zones are formed from a plurality of straight portions, each of the plurality of straight portions being interconnected to adjacent straight portion via an angled deflection.

4. The stirring body according to claim 3 , wherein an angle enclosed by the straight portions adjacent to each other is 130° to 165°.

5. The stirring body according to claim 1 , wherein the segments are produced from a sheet metal produced from high-grade steel having a thickness from 0.5 to 15 mm.

6. The stirring body according to claim 1 , wherein the segments have a form similar to a segment of a circle in a plan view.

7. The stirring body according to claim 1 , wherein the segments are structurally identical.

8. The stirring body according to claim 1 , further comprising shearing ribs mounted on a peripheral edge portion of the segments forming a portion of the peripheral edge.

9. The stirring body according to claim 1 , wherein the transport rib extends from an upper side of each segment, facing towards the stirring shaft.

10. The stirring body according to claim 1 , wherein a radially inner end of each segment has an angled connector portion provided with an aperture.

11. A device for circulating wastewater received in a tank, wherein the stirring body according to claim 1 is mounted on the stirring shaft extending from a drive arrangement.

12. A stirring body for circulating wastewater received in a tank,

wherein the stirring body has a conical or hyperboloid shape and a central connector piece for connection to a stirring shaft,

the stirring body is formed from a plurality of segments, which is produced from metal and which is assembled along joining zones extending from the stirring shaft to a peripheral edge of the stirring body, and

each segment has bending lines extending in the radial direction.

13. A stirring body for circulating wastewater received in a tank,

wherein the stirring body has a conical or hyperboloid shape and a central connector piece for connection to a stirring shaft,

the stirring body is formed from a plurality of segments, which is produced from metal and which is assembled along joining zones extending from the stirring shaft to a peripheral edge of the stirring body, and

the joining zones are formed by sheet metal portions bent towards an upper side of the segments.

14. A stirring body for circulating wastewater received in a tank, wherein the stirring body has a conical or hyperboloid shape and a central connector piece for connection to a stirring shaft,

the stirring body is formed from a plurality of segments, which is produced from metal and which is assembled along joining zones extending from the stirring shaft to a peripheral edge of the stirring body, and

shearing ribs and/or transport ribs are formed from a sheet metal produced from high-grade steel and are connected to the respective segments by at least one spot joint.

15. A stirring body for circulating wastewater received in a tank, wherein the stirring body has a conical or hyperboloid shape and a central connector piece for connection to a stirring shaft,

the stirring body is formed from a plurality of segments, which is produced from metal and which is assembled along joining zones extending from the stirring shaft to a peripheral edge of the stirring body, and

each segment is formed from a plurality of sub-segments, which is assembled along further joining zones extending approximately concentrically relative to the stirring shaft.

16. The stirring body according to claim 15 , wherein the segments or the sub-segments are interconnected by rivet or spot-welding joints.
