GRAINS-REMOVING DEVICE FOR A LAUTER TUN
First Claim
1. A grains-removing device for a lauter tun, comprising:
- at least one grains-removing member adjustable between a raised neutral position and a lowered grains-removing position, the grains removing member configured to convey the spent grains out of the lauter tun by rotationally driving the grains-removing member when arranged in the lowered grains-removing position;
at least one position sensor configured to detect the position of the grains-removing member in at least one position and to generate sensor data describing the position of the at least one grains-removing member;
a transmitter unit in communication with the position sensor, a control unit;
an electro-mechanical generator unit; and
a transmission device;
wherein the transmitter unit is configured to wirelessly transmit the sensor data describing the position of the grains-removing member to a stationary mounted receiver unit;
configured to transmit the sensor data to the control unit;
wherein the electromechanical generator unit supplies electrical energy to the transmitter unit, and wherein the transmission device is configured to transmit adjusting movements of the grains-removing device as drive movements directly or indirectly to the generator unit and the generator unit generates electrical energy from the drive movement.

Abstract
The invention relates to a grains-removing device for a lauter tun on which at least one grains-removing member is provided which can be adjusted between a raised neutral position and a lowered grains-removing position, wherein the spent grains can be conveyed out of the lauter tun by rotationally driving the grains-removing member arranged in the grains-removing position, and wherein on the grains-removing device, at least one position sensor (01) is provided, by means of which the position of the grains-removing member can be detected in at least one position, wherein the position sensor (01) interacts with a transmitter unit, wherein the sensor data of the position sensor (01) for the description of the position of the grains-removing member can be transmitted in a wireless manner from the transmitter unit to a stationary mounted receiver unit and transferred from the receiver unit to a control unit, and wherein for the supply of electrical energy to the transmitter unit, an electro-mechanical generator unit is provided, wherein with the generator unit, mechanical drive movements can be transformed into electrical supply power, and wherein by means of a transmission device, the adjusting movements of the grains-removing device can be transmitted as drive movements directly or indirectly to the generator unit.
