Abstract
An apparatus for collecting and removing solid particles from a flowing fluid (5) includes a grid unit (6) including a plurality of stationary bars (1) being arranged to form a stationary bar unit (3). Each of the stationary bars (1) includes a plurality of steps (8). A plurality of movable bars (2) is arranged to form a movable bar unit (4). Each of the movable bars (2) includes a plurality of steps (8). The stationary bars (1) and the movable bars (2) are arranged side by side to alternate. A first parallelogram unit (11, 12, 13, 14, 17) is connected to stationary bearings (11, 12) to be pivotable in a plane about the pivot axes of the stationary bearings (11, 12) with respect to the stationary first bar unit (3). A second parallelogram unit (15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21) is operatively connected to the first parallelogram unit and to the movable second bar unit (4). The first and second parallelogram unit (11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21) are designed and arranged to guide the movable second bar unit (4) in a plane with respect to the stationary first bar unit (3). A drive (23) is operatively connected to the movable second bar unit (4) to move the movable second bar unit (…
