pplicationvled October "16, 1922. No. 594,831.
To allhomit'may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN L. llVxnnsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Farmington, county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Electric Furnaces, of which the following'is'a full, clear, and ex act specification.
My invention relates to furnaces and refers particularly to electrically heated furnaces.
The object of my device "is an internally electrically heated rotary' furnace ca able ofa continuous process of heating artic es autol matically at any desired temperature for any desired period of time either with. or without, the presence of air, carbonizing gases; ineit or other gases. Y 1
Considerable difficulty -has' been experi- "3 enced in obtaining .uniform temperature, hardness, bluing and other similar results upon a plurality of small articles. due tothe diiculty in obtaining an accurately uniform temperature and duration of treatment inthe heating process.
As the desired results depend upon the temperature and time of heat treatment and are affected by any variation thereof, it is evident that uniform results can be obtained only when each and every article has been subjected to the same heating temperature for the same length of time.
The difiieulty of thus treating a large` number of such small articles, as bearing balls,fchain links and other small parts, is evident and a device capable of accomplishing these results is-a. most valuable advance in the heat treatment of metal articles.
vThe device of my invention is capable of producing all of these desirable results in a most efficient and economical manner and comprises in a general way a rotary furnace, electrically heated internally, the interior heat of the furnace being autonnitically controlled and the process of treatment being pieferably continuons? The accompanying drawings, illustratingr modified forms of the device of my invention and are given for the purpose of more clearly defining my invention, similar parts being designated by similar numerals.
. Figure 1 is a cross-section through the line 1-,1 of Figure 2. the dot-and-dash lines illustrating the position of the driving mechanism.
Figure 2 is al cross-section through the line 2-2 of Figure 1-showing-a portional end view of Figure 1. v
Figure 3 is a cross-section throughl the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
4 is a cross-section through thc line 4-4"of Figure 1. .A Figure 5 is a vertical cross-section ofa modified form of the device of my invention.
The particular form of the device of my 05 invention, shownin Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings, comprises a bed 10 carrying' the supports Il, 11, within the bearings 12, 12 of which is the revoluble shaft 13.' .Fixedly attached to theshaft 13 70.
`is thc'toothed worm: wheel 14 and the fric-V tional flanged bearing wheel 15. The worm wheel 1.4 meshes'withi'the worm 16, carried by the bearings 17, 17, the shaft 18 of the worm 16 being connected with a source of 75 rerolnble power. not shown.
Each of Athe other three corner portions of the bed 10 carries brackets 19. 19 having bearings 20, 2O in. which is a shaft'Zl carrying a freely revoluble flanged idler 22.
The legs 23, 23 carry tlie pillow blocks 24, 24 which support the non-revolublc tubular member 25. A hopper 26 opens into thetubnlar member 25 and a pipe 27,'connected with a source of suitable gas supply, notfg shown, passes through a portion o'f the tubu-v hr member v2.5 and is then bent downwardly within the furnace. i
The een ra'l portion of the tubular member 25 passes t irough and carries a pluralit)- of 90 wirt` carriers '28. 28, composed preferably of heat refractory. electric insulating and heat insulating material, the carriers being maintained in position by a series of supporting rods 29, 29. The wire carriers 28, 95 2S have a plurality of extended arms 30` 30 to which a wire may be attached by any suitable means.
Revoluble around the .tubular member 25 is a container composed of the annular front end 31. Fixedly attached to the end 31 by means of bolts 32. 32 is the flat ring 33. 'ithin the interior opening of the ring member 33 is the cylindrical furnace side 34. The ,other end of the device comprises the annular members 50, 37 fixedly attached to tthe tubular member 25 which passes through the opening 38 by the member 37.
An arm of the annular member 39 is inserted within an annular recess within a re- 11 cess within'the member 35, the other right hfrled annular arm of the member 39 being bolted at 40 to the flat rino' member 41. The other extremity ofthe supported bythe opening within the'ring 'meinber 41.. 'A
fi"-- li`.ixedlv attached to the interior .face of the revo uble furnace side is a helixshaped member 42 having a central opening to allow of its being spaced from the wire carriers 28, 28. I
An opening 43 isformed within the lower portion of the end member 36 and the sides thereof extendedinto the tubular member 44, the lower extremity of which is-below the surface of the oil or other quenching material 45 in the container 46.
The electric heating,- or resistant, wire 47 is wound around the wire carrier arms 30, and extends outwardly through the tubular member 25 and is connected with any suitable means for the supply of electrical current, this end of the tube 25 being closed. A pyrometer 48 is introduced into the tube 44 and a pyrometer 49 is inserted within the working chamber and the latter. may be connected vto any suitable thermostatic device for the control of a uniform temperature.
The following method is employed` in order to prevent, or reduce, the loss by heat radiation f The chamber formed within the members` 35,- 50, 37 is packed with a non-conductor of heat. An annular chamber is l formed at the other end of the furnace by means of the plates 51, 52 and 53 and filled with a nou-'conductor of heat.
n annular plateV 57 is attached to the lates 41 and 39 and the chamber thus ormed is filled with a non-conductor `of heat.
The wire carrier nearest the forward end of the furnace and-through which the pipe 27 passes is somewhat different in construction from the others in that it has opening 58 (Figure 4) extending downwardly from the central opening in order to allow of the passage of the pipe 27 and for the introduction of articles to be heated.
The end members 33 and 41 of the furnace bndy'rest upon the frictional wheel -15 and the idlers 22. 22; 22 so that the revolution of the frctional wheel 15 will revolve the furnace hody with its atta hed parts.
The operation of the evice as described is as follows Revoluble movement is imparted to the furnace side' v25 is' l passa .under props;
shaft18,the worm 16, the gear wheel 14, the shaft 13 and the frictional wheel 15, which thus revolves the furnace with its non-conductin covering and attached helix 42, aroun the tubular member 25 and the wire carriers 28,'28. An electric current is then assed through the resistant wire 47 heatmg the interior of the furnace to any desired temperature. The objects to be heated, as, for instance, bearing balls 60, 60 are introduced through the ho per 26 and the tubular member 25 from which they drop into thefurnace, their passa-ge through the tubular member 25 beyond the point of introductionV into the furnacebeing prevented by the bale plate 59. The helix 42, during its revolution, carries the balls 60, 60 along the lower.portion of the furnace, heating them v to any desired temperature and time of treatment dependent upon the temperature of the furnace andthe time required for therethrough, the latter being control '.by the length of the furnace and the rate of revolution of the helix. The heated balls pass through the opening 43 and the exit ipe '44 into the oil 45, where they are caug t by the foraminous basket 61,
`which can be removed when desired.
It is. to be noted that during the heating operation the furnace space, its side wall andthe objects therein are subjected to the full effects of the-heated wire and any cooling effect, caused to the lower portion of the furnace wall due to heat absorption by the objects, will' becounteracted' during t e remainder-.of the revolution of the fur- Any heating effect, which will'he small l conditions, caused by the tu-l bular mem r 25 will act as a preheater for the introduced objects.
The air in the furnaceA may be partiallyt or completely, removed by the vapors arising from the oil 45,l due to the introduction of the heated objects, the fumes arising throughthe pipe 44 into the furnace, thus driving the air outwardly through the tubular member 25.
My device is also admir'ably adapted for carbonizing processes, in which case a suitablel carbonaceous gas may be introduced through the pipe 27, or a' suitable carbonizing compound may be introduced into the' furnace, the heat of which will cause an evolution of the carbonceous gas. A
VThe form of my device, described above,
is suitable for the heating of small objects moved within the furnace by means of the described helix, bui d modification is de.
4described.articles is shown in Figure 5 in similar to t which the eneral form of the furnace is at previously described, except that the helix .42,.is removed, a hinged door is -introduced'at one end .of the furnace for pur oses lof introducing the articles and a hinged door 71 is introduced at the other end of the furnace for purposes of withdrawal of the -articles after' the heating treatment and the end' 35, 36, 3f? 'is re vlaced by the annual end 72.I Pro r insu ating devices may be employed as esired, similar to those shown in the prior res.
It is evident that means ot er than the -disclosed helix may be emplo ed for producing a movement of the articles through the furnace. Y The degree of applied heat and the duration ofthe treatment naturally depend upon the objects treated and the results desired and my device is of such construction -that it can be readily adapted to any desiredl process of operation and maintained under uniform conditions during the treatment of any desired number of articles.
By electric wire as used in-my s ification and clamsI mean any wire, ri bon or other electrical construct'io' means, having electric resistance under 'the conditions of employment to produce? the desired heat.
My device, therefore,presents many novel and valuable features@ for the heat treatment of small metallic articles and parts.
