Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a wear indicator (display) in a compound system made of fireproof (refractory) ceramic bricks.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Wear indicator in a compound system made of fireproof ceramic bricks (A) with the following characteristics: a.) the wear indicator consists of a set of at least two ceramic components ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ), b.) each component ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ) features at least one surface segment with a three dimensional profile (P, N) from the group: bar, step, spike, bolt, pin, rib, pyramid, sawtooth, hole, channel, groove, prism, ellipse, pitch circle, wherein the profiles (P, N) of corresponding surface segments of adjacent components ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ) complement one another in a form fitted manner, and with at least one profile (P, N) which, in a direction of wear (Y), downsizes in a direction (X, Z) perpendicular to the direction of wear (Y), c.) in the direction of wear (Y) of the components ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ), the profiles (P, N) extend c1.) only over a partial length, or c2.) with a different geometry, or c3.) only over a partial length with a different geometry. 2. Wear indicator according to claim 1 with at least one profile (P, N) which, in the direct of wear (Y), enlarges in a direction (X, Z) perpendicular to the direction of wear (Y). 3. Wear indicator according to claim 1 wherein at least one component ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ) changes its width (B), perpendicular to the direction of wear (Y), in the direction of wear (Y). 4. Wear indicator according to claim 1 wherein at least one component changes its height, perpendicular to the direction of wear (Y), in the direction of wear (Y). 5. Wear indicator according to claim 1 with a set of three components ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ). 6. Industrial aggregate lined with fireproof ceramic bricks and comprising at least one wear indicator with the following characteristics: a) the wear indicator consists of a set of at least two ceramic components ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ), b) each component ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ) features at least one surface segment with a three dimensional profile (P, N) from the group: bar, step, spike, bolt, pin, rib, pyramid, sawtooth, hole, channel, groove, prism, ellipse, pitch circle, wherein the profiles (P, N) of corresponding surface segments of adjacent components ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ) complement one another in a form fitted manner, and with at least one profile (P, N) which, in a direction of wear (Y), downsizes in a direction (X, Z) perpendicular to the direction of wear (Y), c) in the direction of wear (Y) of the components ( 10 . 1 , 10 . 2 , 10 . 3 ), the profiles (P, N) extend c1.) only over a partial length, or c2.) with a different geometry, or c3.) only over a partial length with a different geometry. 7. Industrial aggregate according to claim 6 with multiple wear indicators of different shape.
