Definitions
- the present invention relates to the means for opening an orifice formed in a container intended to contain a material capable of solidifying, such as a molten metal, in particular steel or cast iron.
- the wall of the container receives an internal nozzle and a fixed refractory plate pierced with facing ori ⁇ fices, and a movable external shutter.
- the metal freezes very quickly in the region of the drilling of the fixed refractory plate and in the pouring channel of the internal nozzle, that is to say when metal has stayed in the container, the metal does not flow when the shutter opens.
- the freezing of the molten metal comes from an excessive loss of heat which it undergoes in contact with the refractory materials constituting the internal nozzle of the fixed pliac and the movable plate of the obturator and the obligatory geometry of the pouring channel in this zone.
- the product can be ⁇ in the form of a solid plug, deformable or fuse ⁇ a liquid aggregate as for example lead or more hopefulmen as a sand, for example zircon, silica, chromium, pure graphite or mixed.
- a characteristic of these proposals is that the shutter product is always supposed to flow through the pouring orifice when the shutter is opened, which may have certain drawbacks elsewhere.
- a more recent invention described in particular by the patent applied for in Switzerland on July 12, 1968 under the number 10437/68, proposes to avoid or eliminate the above-mentioned freezing of the molten metal in the runner by gas blowing under pressure in the lower part of said runner.
- the introduction of the gas is obtained in particular by means of a gas supply opening into an additional bore at least formed in the movable obturating plate of the shutter, said piercing may or may not be closed by a fractional r material permeable to gas and metal tight at least when the gas is allowed to pass through said material.
- Such a method proves to use guarantee a pour— satisfactory opening centering, but nevertheless has certain drawbacks.
- the gas can indeed continue to pass through one or more channels within a metal plug during solidification.
- the present invention proposes to introduce a fluid (gas or liquid) discontinuously into the pouring channel so as to allow the transient constitution of the solidifying steel plug followed by its evacuation under the effect of the fluid pressure .
- This jerky introduction of the fluid produces a succession of shocks of variable amplitude and frequency under the action of an adequate propellant device, and this shock effect leads to the unclogging of the canalo
- the invention proposes to place inside the pouring channel an obturating cylinder and to eject it inside the container by sending pressurized fluid.
- the passage of the fluid (gas or liquid) inside the runner can be made through one or more holes or through a porous material.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of a first embodiment
- FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the pouring orifice of a container with a shut-off cylinder ⁇
- FIG. 1 we can see schematically shown a bottom wall of a container for cast metal equipped with a device for casting according to the invention.
- the wall 1 is provided with an internal nozzle 2 presenting a pouring channel 3. Under the bottom is located a fixed plate 4a having an orifice 5a and the movable shutter plate 4b having an orifice 5b which can be brought below the " channel 3o
- the orifice 5 opens a gas supply pipe 6 in communication by a rotary shutter 7 with a pressurized gas tank 8.
- the distributor 7 once rotated, according to an adjustable speed, allows to introduce into the orifice 5 gas under pressure by successive pulses which produces a succession of shocks of variable amplitude and frequency to act on the metal plug, which tends to solidify, propelling it to the inside the container where it liquefies again.
- the cylinder which emerges widely inside the container, is wedged in the vertical position using sand 11, which also provides; the seal between the cylinder and the wall of the pouring channel.
