Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering furnace for dispensing metered portions of a melt, in particular liquid metal, comprising an outer, fixed housing enclosing a housing interior, a refractory lining of the housing interior, which forms a trough for the molten material, a door, a Door opening in the housing covering, an opening for the passage of a material discharge tube, which dips with its lower end in the melt, and at least one pressure supply opening to introduce gas pressure into the housing interior and each issue a liquefied portion of material through the discharge pipe.
  • Such known metering furnaces have a box-like shape and are placed in foundries, un successive filling molds.
  • the dosage of each discharged amount of melt is determined by the amount and duration of a supplied into the interior of the metering gas pressure surge, which is about 0.2 to 0.5 bar.
  • the surge results in deformation of the housing, which is minimized by reinforcing the outer walls of the housing by welded-on ribs and flanges.
  • the invention is based, to reduce the effort in a metering furnace the task. Furthermore, the sealing of the metering furnace should also be improved. Finally, a low height of the filling opening of the metering furnace should be made possible.
  • the housing has curved side surfaces, which run towards a front end and to a rear end.
  • the housing of the metering furnace is formed by curved plates with curved edges, resulting in a shell shape that withstands the internal pressures occurring without reinforcing ribs.
  • an upper shell and a lower shell of the bent metal sheets are welded together and the two shells are placed on each other and sealed.
  • the free edges of the two shells are folded to form a respective tongue and groove engagement.
  • This represents an economic kind of connection which can be easily sealed by inserting sealing material between tongue and groove.
  • a flange edge is welded to the metal sheet, which has the spring fold, which serves to rest one end of staples whose other ends are supported on the top of Nutfalz.
  • the clamps can be pulled by screws and the like pulling means in the direction of the welded flange edge, whereby the inserted between tongue and groove sealing material is compressed and there is a secure seal the interior of the metering furnace.
  • the special shell shape of the metering furnace causes the door opening is inclined in the room, whereby this door opening can be used not only for cleaning purposes of the housing interior, but also for attachment of the filling.
  • this door opening can be used not only for cleaning purposes of the housing interior, but also for attachment of the filling.
  • the otherwise necessary additional filling can be saved in the upper part of the metering furnace. It is also advantageous that the drop height of the melt during filling, compared to dosing on the market, is lowered.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 show the metering in perspective views laterally from the back and front.
  • the outer housing comprises a lower shell 1 and an upper shell 2.
  • an opening 3 for the passage of a material dispensing tube, not shown, is provided, which leads into the interior of the metering into and immersed with its lower end in a trough, which by a refractory Lining of the lower shell 1 is formed.
  • a door mechanism 4 At the rear end of the metering furnace there is a door mechanism 4 to provide a door opening 40 (FIG. Fig. 6 ) or sealing release.
  • the upper shell 2 has on both sides each have a number of openings 5, which are shown here closed by a lid.
  • Fig. 1 an opening for supplying compressed air or gas is shown inside the metering furnace.
  • a filling opening 6 is further provided, which serves for refilling of liquid metal during the operation and which is shown here closed with a lid.
  • flange eyes 7 are still welded to the lower shell and the upper shell in order to transport the housing parts comfortably.
  • the lower shell 1 essentially comprises five welded together plates, namely two side plates 11 and 12, an outlet opening plate 13, a door opening plate 14 and a bottom plate 15.
  • the top shell 2 comprises side plates 21, 22 and a cover plate 23.
  • the basic shape of the housing can be described as a double-wedge-shaped, namely, starting from the central region of the metering furnace, the surfaces on the front end 16 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) or towards the rear end in the door opening plate 14 ( Fig. 1 ).
  • the blank of the plates 11, 12, 13 and 23 is thereby approximately trapezoidal, but partially with curved edges.
  • the plates 21, 22 have a gusset shape. After the sheet metal plates have been bent, they can easily be joined together and welded together at the edges.
  • the lower and upper shell have free edges which are intended to sealingly interlock.
  • the free edges of the upper shell 2 are designed as a groove fold 27.
  • On the door opening plate 14 is a metal strip 19 ( Fig. 6 ), to which the spring fold 17 is attached.
  • a flange 18 is welded, which serves to receive a bolt 24.
  • the bolt 24 can be used as stud bolts ( Fig. 3 ) or as a through bolt with head ( Fig. 4 ) be formed.
  • a two-legged bracket 25, which has a bore 26 for the bolt 24, used to press the spring fold 17 against the Nutfalz 27 with the interposition of a seal 29 to each other by the nut 28 of the bolt 24 is tightened.
  • Fig. 3 shows the engagement of the spring fold 17 in the Groove 27 without intermediate seal 29 and without the parts 25 and 28.
  • Fig. 4 Parts of the refractory lining 31, 32 of the metering furnace are shown. As can be seen, the thickness of the sheet metal plates is small compared to the thickness of the refractory lining.
  • the door mechanism 4 is based on the Fig. 5 and 6 explained.
  • the door opening plate 14 has a door opening 40 which is covered by a curved door 41.
  • an actuating shaft 42 which is mounted in bearing blocks 43 which are welded to the plate 14.

  • a pivot lever 47 is articulated, whose lower end is connected via a pivot bearing 48 with the door 41, see Fig. 6 ,
  • the levers 44, 47 form a parallelogram and thus a parallel guide for the door 41, the upper position 41 'in Fig. 6 is indicated. In this upper position 41 'of the door, the levers 44 and 47 occupy the positions 44' and 47 '. As can be seen, while the door opening 40 is fully released.
  • a motor drive 50 This includes a double-acting pneumatic cylinder 51 and a piston rod 52, the end of which is pivotally connected to an arm 53 of the shaft 42 for the actuation thereof.
  • the piston rod 52 By retracting and retracting the piston rod 52, the lever arm 53 is pivoted back and forth, and thus also the pivot lever pair 44, which leads to the on and off of the door 41.
  • a hand-closing device 55 For firmly closing the door 41, a hand-closing device 55 is still provided.
  • two bearing blocks 56 are welded to the curved ends of the door 41, which support a closing shaft 57 to which a handle 58 is attached.
  • the shaft 57 is formed at its ends as an eccentric 59, on each of which an eccentric lever or locking lever 60 is seated, which is provided with a closing hook 61 (FIG. Fig. 6 ) is trained.
  • On the plate 14 each counter-holder 62 are attached, each with two welded blocks and a parallel to the plate 41st have extending bolts, behind which the locking hook 61 engages.

  • a moon-shapedIförmiges bearing 64 is seated, which rests on the eccentric 59.
  • pins 65, 66 are pins 65, 66 (FIG. Fig. 5 ) in order to adjust the position of the eccentric or closing lever correctly and to form stops for the pivoting of the shaft 57.
  • the opening and closing operation of the door is as follows: By raising the handle 58, the shaft 57 is pivoted so that the eccentric 59 loosens the locking lever 60 and moves out of engagement with the counter-holder pin 62. Now, when the pneumatic cylinder 51 is actuated, this leads to the rotation of the shaft 42 and thus pivoting of the lever pair 44, whereby the door 41 in the position 41 '(FIG. Fig. 6 ) is raised. To close the door, the motor drive 50 is controlled in the opposite direction, whereby the lever pair 44 lowers the door 41 in its closed position.
  • the closing lever 60 By depressing the handle 58, the closing lever 60 is brought to engage behind the counter-holder 62, the closing lever 60 first pivots and then moves transversely to its pivotal movement, because in the last phase of motion, the eccentric 59 pulls the locking lever 60 along the longitudinal axis of the lever 60, so that the door 41 is pulled as a result of the reaction force against the plate 14 and against there mounted seals 67.
  • the shape of the metering furnace according to the second embodiment ( Fig. 7 to 13 ) largely corresponds to the first embodiment according to Fig. 1 and 2 , However, the plane of the door opening plate 14 is less steep at about 45 ° to the horizontal than in the first embodiment, and the side plates 11 and 12 are accordingly slightly elongated. Another difference is the absence of the filling opening in the upper shell 2.
  • the filling opening 6 is now mounted in the door 41, as will be explained.
