Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrow.
- Fig. 4 is a detail 'View of a cover-looking lever and parts associated therewith.
designates a' reservoir for containing molten metal. As shown, this reservoir is substantially 'U-shaped, one ofthe legs of which provdes a' chamber leg comn unicates with a nozzle a' having a chamber a The reservoir is positioned within a furnace chamber B, as is usual in the art, said chamber being covered by a top b through which extends' the nozzle a' 'and that leg of the reservoir -having chamber a. Above the top b is a plate or bed C,
4 upon which rests a mold or die D, said mold being shown as having abasting chamber d of any suitable form, with which casting chamber communicates a metal inlet passage and a second chamber dfithe latter being positioned in the die exteriorly to the casting or die chamber d. The die is shown as consisting of separable parts adapted to be held or clamped together by any means known to the art, such as by aclamping plate e and suitable pressure mechanism e', but as this clamping mechanism does not constitute any part of the scribe or illustrate the same.
A salient feature of'this invention consists in the provision of means for exhausting air from the chambers a, a of'the reservoir in order in-`said reservoir abov the mass of molten metal contained therein, whereby the moltenmetal is restrained from fiowing toward the die by the presence of ane'qual Vacuum in chambers a, a thus enabling me to dispense `-with a valve usually employed for shutting ofi" the flow of metal from the reservoir to the mold or die. An eXhaust pipe E is connected in a suitable way, as by a flexible hose of the die, and this ex to produce a partial Vacuum.
a, and the other present invention, .it has not been consdered necessary to depressure to chamber a of the reservoir for the purpose of imparting to the mplten metal v with this branch pipe j is a pressure pipe 'of valve Operating means, ating means controlling the respective L, the latter being in communication with any suitable source or air or gas pressure for the purpose of supplying pressure to chamber a of the reservoir at a predeterminedtime, whereby the molten metal within said reservoir is caused to flow toward the die. It will' be understood that valve J is normally closed in order to preclude the flow of air or gas under pressure from pipe L through branch j and pipe K to reservoir chamber a, but at the proper time said valve J is opened by the operation of one form said valve operthe opening and closing ofthe series of Valves F, G, H, I, J, in a predetermined order.
M is a vacuum pipe connected with an exhauster or any other form of apparatus adapted to I produce a' partial vacuun through the pipe and within the die and chambers of the reservoir. Pipe E is provided with branch f which communicates directly with vacuum pipe M, and in this branch f between the pipes.
E, M is. positioned the valve F.
O designates a regulator operatively con` nected withchambers a, a? of the reservoir and 'with the vacuum pipe M- in such a manner as toautomatically and simultaneously establishan equal degree of vacuum 'in the 'respective chambers of the reservoir.
This regulator is of the form disclosed in `my No; 1,013,548 of January 2, 1912, for an invention 'appertaining to art of making castings. Said regulator embodies a diaphragm casing within which is positioned a fleXible diaphragm which divides said chamber nto two compartments, and
' to the' respective sides of this diaphragm are attached valve rods leading to valves P, Q. Said valve rods extend through suitable tubes o, o', attached to the shells of valves P, Q whereby the valves are controlled by the movement of the diaphragm within the regulator chamber. 'The valves are so positioned that both of them .are open when the diaphragm of regulator O is in a central position between the compartments of the regulator chamber. With valve P communicates a pipe'g containing valve Gr, one end portion of said pipe g being attached'directly to vacuum p? e' M, and the other end portion of the pipe being directly connected with the shell of valve P.
Valve H is positioned within a pipe h,
site end from the attachment of pipe g to' said valve P. It will thus be seen that valve P is connected at one side by pipe g with vacuum pipe M when valve G is opened, and said valve P is connected at its other side by pipes h h', h with pipe K leading to reservoir chamber a. The line of pipe between valve P and chamber a has a bypass connection with one chamber of'regu lator O by a fiexible tube R, one endof said tube being connected with branchpipe h' and the other end of said tube being attached to the casing of the regulator at one side of the diaphragm so as to communicate with one compartment of the diaphragm chamber. Valve Q at the opposite side of the diaphragm from valve P is connected at one end by a pipe q with the pipe g having valve G and'leading to vacuum pipe M. The other side of this valve Q is connected by a pipe g' directly with the pipe E, the latter having communication at one end with the die and reservoir chamber a whereas the other end of said pipe E has connection by branch pipe'f with vacuum pipe M. The pipe E is connected through a by-pass S with the other compartment of the diaphragm chamber, said by-pass being in the form of a fiexible hose similar to the hose R, one end of said hose S being attached directly to the diaphragm casing, and the other end of said hose being connected with exhaust pipe E by branch pipe q'.
The series of valves F, G, H, I, J, are positioned in any suitable order, but preferably in the same plane as shown in F igs. 1 and 2, inorder that a frame T may be brought into coperative relation to all the valves, whereby a valve-Operating mechanism is adapted to be supported by said frame YT so as to coperate with the series of valves. The frame T i provided with suitable bearings for an Operating shaft U,
e tion by suitable means,
rwaaao valves will be operated in a certain order. In Fig. 3 there is shown one form of the cam and lever mechanism. Each cam' is provided With a groove in which operates a pin or roller on a yoke-shaped member lU', one end of said member being connected by a pin v' to lever o. The member is positioned across the valve operatin shaft U, preferably below it, one end o "said lever being fulcrumed as at v on frame T. The other end of leveri is connected to the rod or stem w of the valve. When the cam is turned to a eertan position, the yoke member U' is v Elifted for the purpose of raising lever v 15 andvalve stem w, thus opening the particular valve, but the valve maybe held in a closed position by any suitable means, as for example, by arranging the groo've in the can to seat the valve at the proper time. Associated With the lever arm t of valve operating shaft U is a looking mechanism for restraining the shaft from movement when' all the valves except valve I are closed. This looking mechanism is embodied in a loc'king bar W- slidably supported in frame T, The looking bar is impelled in one direcsuch as spring w', and this looking bar is adapted to engage with a notch provided in a segment T', the latter being attached to or made integral with lever arm t or shaft U. The looking bar may be operated by suitable means, such as lever T pivoted on the frame, and engagng with a notch in the looking bar as shown in F ig. 2, 'so that the movement in' one direction will compress the spring w' portion of the looking and wtnuraw the end bar from engagement with the notch in the ,segment T', whereby shaft U is released in order that it may be turned lever arm t.
From the foregoing it will be noted that with valves I, J and F closed, valves Gr, H open, and both regulator valves P, Q, in their normal open positions, the vacuum pipe M and regulator O are in communicaby Operating tion with chambers a a of the reservoirand with the die, so that the operation of exhausting air will be carried 'on simultaneously in the two reservoir chambers a, a and in the die, whereby the same, or substantially the same, degree of vacuum will be obtained 'in the two reservoir chambers, the result of which is to restrain the flow of metal toward the die without the employment of a valve to cut off the flow of metal from the reservoir to said die, the use of such a valve being objectionable for the reason that the metal tends to solidify around the valve or freeze it. The two reservoir chambers a a and the die communicate with the vacuum pipe and the regulator, under the conditions just named, as
follows 2- Air is drawn from chamber a through a the die,`so as to part of pipe K, pipe branches IL, I', ?e? past valve H, through hose R, valve P, pipe g. and through valve G. From chamber a and the die air flows through pipe E, branch pipes q, g', through valve Q, hose S and pipe g through valve G, thereby exhausting air equally from the two reservoir 'chambers a, a and from the two compartments of the regulator 0. In practice, there is a slight variation in the degree of .vacuum within the two reservoir chambers and in the pipe lines, as a result of which a pulsating movement is given to the diaphragm of the regulator owing to the difi'erence in the degree of vacuum in the compartments of the regulator chamber, but the operation of exhausting air, as a whole, is carried on simultaneously in the two reservoir chambers 'and produce a relatively high degree of vacuum in said two reservoir' chambers and the die, whereby the molten metal is caused to remain quiescent in the reservoir during the said exhausting operations. 4
For impelling the molten metal with a quick movement toward the die, suitable means are provided for' exerting pressure upon the metal. As shown, the pressure is applied by air or gas admitted .to reservoir chamber a by pipes L, j, K upon opening valve J; but. prior to ths operation, valves G, H have been previously closed, and valve F opened.
The valve F operates to open communication between chamber a and the vacuum pipe M through the pipes E and f, and is so actuated as to be opened immediately after valves G and H are closed, to continue the exhaustion of air from the die. Thus, when the valve J is opened, to admit pressure to chamber a, the exhaustion of air from the die and chamber a continues,-whereby residual air aid gases are exhausted from the die during the passage of metal thereint'o." Thus, residual air and gases are exhausted' from the mold during the passage of metal thereinto.
It will be noted that pipes. h, -12? with valve H, and pipe y with valve G, operate, mainly, to introduce the regulator in the exhausting connections between the vacuum pipe M and the chamber a of the reservor, but prior to admitting pressure to 'the reservor through pipes L, j, K, valves G, are closed, thereby cutting oli the communication between the regulator and the vacuum pipe and pipe K so that the air or gas supplied to said reservoir cannot flow past said valve H and into the regulator, thus precluding injury thereto.
As shown in Fig. 1, a gate F' is adapted to operate across the passage through which the 'molten metal flows from the reservor into the die. This gate is shown in the form of a piston, the upper part of which s coninto the reservoir.
The operation may be described as followsz-Assuming that mold D is properly prepared for casting and that the reservoir A contains molten metal, the exha'usting apparatus is put -into operation so as to eX- haust air through vacuum pipe M. At this time no communication between the vacuim pipe M or the pressure pipe L with the' mold or die and the reservoir takes place, for the reason that valves F, G, H and J are closed, but as valve' I is open, the chamber a, of the reservo'ir *is vented. In carrying out the operation, the Workman manipulates lever T so as 'to WithdraW the locking bar W from the segment of lever arm t, and thereafter the lever arm is operated so as to turn shaft.
` U. As this shaft begins to turn, one of the lever and cam devices operates so as to first close valve I, all the valves being thus closed at this time, but as the shaft continues to turn, two of the valve Operating devices are so actuated as to simultaneously open the two valves G, H. The effect of this is to ,establish communication from vacuum pipe M with chambers a, a of the reservoir and with the die. The opening of valve H allows air'to pass from reservoir chamber a through a part of pipe K, branch pipes h, h', h valve P, pipe g, valve G and thence to the vacuum pipe, thus eXhausting air from chamber a of the reservoir, and at the same time air is drawn from reservoir chamber a the die, pipeiE, pipes q, g', valve Q, pipe g, valve G, and thence into the vacuum pipe. The opening of the valves H, G thus places vacuum pipe M in communication with both reservoir chambers a a?, and with the die so as to exhaust the air therefrom, but any diflerence in the pressure in the chambers a, a? of the reservoir brings into operation the regulator O so as to establish a substantially unform degree of vacuum in said chambers a, a of the reservoir and in the die. When the degree of partial vacuum desired. has been Secured in the die and in the two chambers of the reservoir, the operator moves-lever arm t in order to impart 'further movement to the shaft U, the efiect of which 's to 'clse valves G, H, and to open valve F,
G', H and I being closed and .is opposite to the looking bar W, the spring of which impels said looking bar into engagement With the segment so as to`lock the shaft in a fixed position after which it shall have completed the cycle of Operations for opening and closing the series of valves;
In Figs. 1 and 4: of the drawings there is shown one embodiment of means for locking member C in a fixed position. As there shown, lever arm X is fixed upon one end of a rock shaft X', said rock shaft having cams w provided with rollers 06' adapted to apply force to lugs X provided at the free edge of said member C. The rock shaft X' is supported in arms Z having loose connections with a rod .a supported in lugs z' of furnace B, and through these arms Z pass threaded stems Z'. The stems are attached to cover plate b, and their upper ends pass loosely through openings provided in arms Z, suitable nuts 2 being provided on the stems for holding the arms Z in fixed positions. By turning shaft X', the cams and rollers apply pressure to lugs X and the member C, but to release the member the shaft is turned in a direction to remove the rollers from the lugs, after which the upper nuts may be unscrewed from the stems so that the arms Z and the cam shaft may be swung upwardly and out of the way.
In the foregoing description, I have set forth one mode of operation of my invention wherein the valve arrangement is such that the suction mechanism operates to exhaust residual air or gas from the mold during the passage of molten metal thereinto, in accordance with the process described and claimed in my Patent #1,013,548, hereinbefore referred to. Manifestly, however, the valves may be so operated that the suction mechanism is precluded from operating on the mold during the passage of molten metal thereinto. complished by simply adjustihg the valve F so that said valve will be closed just prior to the opening of valve J. Thus, either method of casting may be carried out by the apparatus of the present invention. e
