,With these and other objects not specifically referred to in view, the invention consists incertain novel parts, arrangements andcombinations which will be described in detail in connection withthe accompanying drawing and the novel features pointedgout in the claims hereunto 'ang} nexed 1 g .In the drawing,-
Figure 1 is a sectional view, partly broken away,
Ofgne end of a driercylinder'showing the imi proved construction; 7 g Figure 271s adetailsectional view; on an enlarged scale, of part oithe constructionshown inv Figure '1,and v Figure 3 is-a detail endview, showing: the improved means for supporting the siphon pipe. o RGfEIllDQ IIOWV to thedrawing, theconstruc tionis' elected to illustrate the invention comprises a cylinder ;having side walls 1, which are thickened at theends 'toform a flanged undercut to form a shoulder '3, Secured to the flange 2, by
bolts 4, is ahead 5, which is elongated to form an at '7, and centrally hollowed, as indicated at 8, this journal havingsecured thereto a driving gear-9 for driving it and the cylinder. 7 In order to effect the desired adjustment of the steam joint, more fullyuhereinafter referred to, with't-he cylinder journal, there is provided a hollow sleeve lo, which is secured to the end of the journal 6 v by means of bolts "11 which pass through a flange l2 formed on the end' of the sleeve 10 and in which the bolts have a slight play. This sleeve l0has an a.
extendedjournal 6, rotating in bearings indicated 5 inwardly "extending member orcollar 13, through which passes a suitable number of adjusting spherical facell, this construction-forming in effect a, ball and socket joint This sleeve 10 supports a. steam joint hereinafter referred to,
and by this construction -the steam joint as a i Whole may be made to run: concentric with the journal and may be lined up to a position concentric with the axis of rotation of the cylinder.
Steam is supplied to a chamber 18 of the main steam joint, indicated generally by the numeral 19, through a pipe 20, and the water of condensation is withdrawn from a chamber 21 through a pipe 22, these pipes being screw threaded, as indicated at 2 24,..into suitable flanges formed on the main steam joint 19.
The adjustment for lining up the steam joint and the end of the cylinder journal may readily be effected by unscrewing the pipes 20, 22, loosening the adjusting screws 14 and the tap bolts 11, so that these parts may be loosened by a light hammer blow and the entire steam joint may then be rotated and brought to a true running position, and when the parts are running true the adjusting screws 14 and the tap bolts 11 are tightened to retain the parts in this position.
The steam joint 19 includes a housing or casing, indicated at 25, which is elongated to provide the chambers 18, 21, before referred to, the casing being formed with an intermediate wall or partition 26 into which is threaded the end of a siphon pipe 27. This casing is recessed at 28 to receive a collar 29 shrunk on the sleeve 10. On each side of this collar is located a pair of bear ing rings 30, 31, these bearing rings being held together by pins 32 passing through the collar 29.
These bearing rings are of special self lubricating material and of liberal proportions so as to take care of the pressures to which they are subjected without the need of additional lubrication, bronze having been found very effective for this purpose.
On the inner or cylinder end of the casing or housing 25 is a packing box comprising a flanged member 33 secured to the housing 25 by bolts 34, packing medium 35 being located in this flange and held in position by a packing gland 36, adjustable while the machine is running to adjust the packing by means of screw bolts 37.
With this construction it will be observed that, when the machine is operating, the only revolving parts are the sleeve 10, the bronze rings 30, 31, which revolve together with the collar 29, as they are held together by the pins 32. The main steam joint 19, the packing box 33, and the packing gland 36, as well as the siphon pipe 2'1 and a steam tube 38, hereinafter referred to, are stationary. With this construction, the weight of the steam joint is carried by the sleeve and the two bearing rings 30, 31, which also take up any thrust of steam pressure or angular pressure due to'the weight or strains from the pipe connections. If desired, the pipe connections 21, 22 may be provided with flexible joints, indicated at 39, 40.
In accordance with the invention, an improved arrangement for the steam inlet pipe and for supporting the siphon pipe is provided.
The steam pipe is so arranged that the steam may be supplied to the cylinder with the effect of a jet action, so as to secure a good distribution of steam throughout the cylinder, and furthermore this steam inlet pipe is so arranged as to prevent the steam from coming in contact with the journal 6 through which it passes. In order to effect these results, the pipe, as shown, is arranged so that its entry end is closely adjacent the interior of the drier cylinder, the pipe being preferably arranged so that its end 41 extends slightly into the cylinder head. It will be seen therefore that by elongating the pipe in this manner live steam is kept away from the walls of the journal 6, so that these walls do not heat up and there is a more even temperature between the journals at each end of the cylinder.
Furthermore, any steam coming in contact with the journal wall must work back through the restricted space between the tube 38 and the inner wall of the journal. In thus working, the steam will condense so that water rather than steam works back into the body of the packing box, having to work around the bearing rings 30, 31 before reaching the packing in the box. Thus it is very easy to maintain a seal at this point, thus reducing to a minimum the chance of steam blowing through the steam joint, and this condensed steamalso serves as a water lubricant for the rings 30, 31.
As before stated, in the best constructions means are provided for supportingthe siphon tube at a point intermediate its length, so that it will not tend'to deflect to an undesired point in its relation to the inner wall of the cylinder. These means may be of various characters, but, as shown, the'siphon tube is supported fro-m the end of the steam pipe 38, where it enters the cylinder. These supporting means may, of course, be varied, but, as shown, there is provided a V-shaped member 43, see Figure 3, welded at 44 to the tube and at 45 to the inner surface of the pipe.
It will be seen from the construction described that a very effective and efficient steam joint has been provided for these driers, and one which permits the accurate lining up of the parts and which insures a satisfactory steam joint which can be adjusted while the machine is running.
While the mechanism has been shown and described in its preferred form, it will be understood that various changes and variations may be made in the particular construction and arrangement of the parts shown without departing from the invention as defined in the appended claims.
