Abstract
Abstract A vibration bed (1) is assembled together of a plurality of rigidly connected frames (2) extending in the feed direction (A) of the material to be burned. The frames have projecting sides (10) extending downwardly and in the feed direction. Two effectively synchronously driven vibration generator arrays (12, 13) are located on the downwardly extending projection or extensions, each one of the arrays (12, 13) has a plurality of axially serially arranged vibrators (7); preferably, every other frame has a vibrator associated therewith, and the number of frames is odd, the vibrators of one group being connected by a continuous shaft, energized by a drive from the axial ends.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
Equipment for burning substances in solid, sludge, or liquid form having a vibrating combustion bed (1) mounted on springs, the combustion bed including a plurality of stepped profiled sections with air supply means (19), characterized in that the vibrating combustion bed comprises a plurality of mutually rigidly joined frames (2) which extend in the direction of feed (A) of the material being combusted; plate elements (10) extending downwardly from the frame; and at least two effectively synchronously driven vibration generator groups (12, 13) are provided, operatively connected to the plates of respectively different frames to vibrate the same, each including a plurality of axially series-connected vibrator elements (7).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
Equipment for burning substances in solid, sludge, or liquid form having a vibrating combustion bed (1) mounted on springs, the combustion bed including a plurality of stepped profiled sections with air supply means (19), characterized in that the vibrating combustion bed comprises a plurality of mutually rigidly joined frames (2) which extend in the direction of feed (A) of the material being combusted; plate elements (10) extending downwardly from the frame; and at least two effectively synchronously driven vibration generator groups (12, 13) are provided, operatively connected to the plates of respectively different frames to vibrate the same, each including a plurality of axially series-connected vibrator elements (7).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that an odd number of frames (2) is present and each second frame has a vibration generator group (12, 13) associated therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1 or 2, comprising a continuously extending shaft (21) connecting all vibrator elements (7) of a group; and motor drive means driving the shaft from both shaft ends.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein two vibration generator groups (12, 13) are provided; each vibration generator group including an electric driving motor driving individual groups, the motors driving said groups operating synchronously, and being controlled to achieve angular displacement between the groups, and hence varying vibration modes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1, wherein respectively two neighboring frames (2) have a common plate element (10); springs (14) are provided engaged on a support and on a base frame secured to the plate element; and the vibrator elements comprise unbalance-producing bodies (7) arranged close to the plate elements.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vibrator elements comprise respective unbalance-producing weights (7) located at respectively opposite sides of the plates elements.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vibrating combustion bed has regions of different inclination.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
43 words
Equipment as claimed in claim 1, further including struts (8) rigidly joining the frames; and wherein each vibration generator group (12, 13) includes a plurality of axially series connected vibrator elements, and shaft means serially connecting said vibrator elements extending across the bed.
