Definitions

  • This invention relates to a new process and apparatus for treating rigid metal rod material, such as heavy Wire or strips, in various liquid treating baths. More specifically, the invention relates to an apparatus and process for coiling heavy metallic wire and similar strip material and continuously passing it in the form of a helix through a series of baths including an electroplating bath.
  • the coating of wire by the hot dipping method or by electroplating heretofore has always been done by the passing of wire through a series of tanks in straight line for treatment and coating. These tanks are arranged linearly and are of a length such as to provide for the necessary period of contact between the wire and the treating baths. The faster the'wire is to move or the heavier the coating, the longer each individual tank has to be. The wire itself has to be flexible enough to be bent over the walls of the tanks from one operation into the other.
  • the disclosed apparatus requires that the process be a batch or discontinuous one (at least the work always has to be stopped in order to allow time to weld the beginning of one wire coil to the end of another wire coil).
  • Patent No. 2,495,695 an apparatus has also been disclosed for continuously passing a heavy wire which has been formed into the shape of a helix through a number of baths by suspending and rotating the helix between a pair of horizontally arranged, positively driven rollers and dipping the suspendedportions of coils of the helix into a plurality of baths.
  • metalbodies such as relatively heavy wire or strip material continuously and in sucha way as to prevent excessive oxidation during the process and thereby produce a bond between the base material and the plating of such adhesiveness as .to permit redrawing without flaking, cracking or other deterioration of the coating.
  • the apparatus and process of the invention is applicable to any type of metal strip material which is bendable to coil form and at the same time of sufficient diameter and/or temper to retain the shape given it by a coil forming device.
  • strip materials are referred to generally as wire regardless of the cross sectional shape thereof.
  • the strip material should have a cross sectional area at least equal to that of 3" diameter round wire.
  • the sizes of the coils are maintained uniform in passing through the baths by pressing a top roller against the wire on the supporting roller. It has now been found possible to omit the top roller by providing properly tempered wire, by preventing frictional engagement between the wire and the bath walls and by forming the helix with a predetermined uniform pitch as well as with a uniform coil diameter. However, it is sometimes advantageous to add the top roller to improve the stability of the device. Whether the top roller is employed or not the main force which moves the helix through the baths according to the present invention appears to be the combination forces furnished by the bottom roller and the pulling or pushing force provided the two or more rotated gripping roller which grip and forward the wire back of the helix forming device.
  • a set of straightening rollers is located adjacent to the rotated gripping rollers and a helix forming device follows the said gripping rollers.
  • the helix forming device may consist of a single grooved roller which is ofiset from the common tangent of the gripping rollers and from the straightening rollers in such a manner as to impart both a definite curvature and a definite pitch to the wire which is forced to bend by the said roller.
  • the roller type of straightening device may be placed between the gripping rollers and the offset roller or may precede the offset roller.
  • At least one of the pair of gripping rollers is positively driven so as to impart a tan gential push which is not only sufficient to force the wire over the helix forming roller out is also sufficient, in cooperation with the rotating helix supporting roller, to cause the entire helix being passed through the apparatus to rotate.
  • one basic and essential feature of the invention consists in transforming the wire into a firm, rigid body.
  • This body can be visualized, for example, as a huge spiral having approximately 120 individual coils or contours 30" wide and a total 15 long. The pitch and the distances between any two adjacent coils are equal and predetermined.
  • This firm body has to be continuously formed as it is treated. This firm body moves, as such, through the treating tanks and there can be no friction to the individual coils or contours when leaving one treatment tank and entering the next. If friction were present, the firm body would lose its shape and rigidity and could not move through the apparatus any more.
  • the wire may have sufiicient temper already, but is is usually desirable to impart an additional temper to the wire or other strip material just before forming it into the helix.
  • This additional temper may be given to the wire by pulling it through a reducing die located adjacent the coil forming mechanism.
  • the reducing die in addition to adding temper to the wire serves to remove small kinks, scale and rust and in general, provides a smooth, stifi wire.
  • the wire may be pulled away from the original commercial coil in an axial direction so that the original co l may be held in a stationary position and so that the free end of the coil may be welded to the end of the next coil to be treated. In this way it is never necessary to stop the operation of the machine because the end of a coil of wire is reached.
  • the wire starting into the baths may be cut at any time without wasting either time or wire.
  • the wire in the machine may be passed through the remainder of the machine with the aid oi a top roller and the pushing mechanism is shut down. Previously it was economically necessary to complete the plating of any coil of wire which had been partially introduced into the apparatus, and consequently, when the apparatus was started again, it was necessary to thread up the entire machine.

  • the upper part of the wall is sloped in one direction (the axial direction of the approaching wire) at one side thereof and is sloped in the opposite directions on the other side.
  • the sloping portions start from a horizontal line which is located approximately at the center portion or axis of the helix It.
  • a very satisfactory structure is shown at the end wall 89 of the bath 16. Below the horizontal line 85 the end 89 is substantially straight and is attached at right an les to the sidewalls and bottom of the bath structure.
  • the right side 82 of the end 80 slopes inwardly with respect to the bath i and from the line So upwardly the left hand side 83 slopes outwardly so that that portion of the helix designated as A which is just passing into the bath it does not contact any part of the bath end wall it even though the wire passes over the roller 60 at an angle of approximately 90.
  • the sloping portions 52 and 33 are connected by the triangular portion 8% which extends down from the central portion of the partition. So that the edges of the end wall or the partitions can be connected rectilinearly to the tank, the sloping areas 82 and 33 are shown as ending adjacent to but slightly spaced from the sides of the tank.
  • the sloping areas extend beyond the space which is traversed by the helix and the side edge 85 of the wall 88, for example, lies in the same plane as that portion of the wall below the line 8!.
  • This side edge 85 is connected to the slope portion 83 by a triangular portion 86 (only partly shown) which is approximately equal to a bisected portion of the triangular section 84.
  • the drawing shows sharp right angle turns or bends connecting the sloping portions 82 and 83 to the center connecting portion 84 and the side triangular portion s6 but it is obvious that these bends may be considerably rounded off, if desired, since the helix does not approach closely to the extreme side portions or the center part of the partitions or walls 85.
  • the side parts 85 and 86 can be omitted altogether since the only disadvantage of such omission is to make it slightly more difficult to align the partitions when building the apparatus.
  • the side walls SB, ill of the tank ii may be united to the side walls 92, 93 of an adjacent tank 72 by means of the laterally extending flanges 9Q, 95, 9E and 9'5.

  • Some of the partitions may be attached to the edges of the side walls as shown at 85.
  • the end walls 89 as shown extend above the level of the roller 65 ⁇ and have a slot 88 (see Figures l, 3 and 4) which extends further away from one side of the roller Bil than from the other.
  • the remaining partitions or end walls are constructed similarly with the two sloping sides 82 and 83, etc., so that in its complete path of travel through the baths, the wire never comes into When operating at high speeds of over 58 feet per minute, for example, this freedom from frictional engagement with the bath walls is of tremendous importance since at such speeds merely momentary contact with the bath walls frictionally holds back the particular coil which makes the contact sufiiciently to change its diameter and once the diameter of a coil at a particular part of the apparatus is changed every subsequent portion of the wire which passes that part will be given approximately the same reduced or increased diameter. The condition is likely to be aggravated more than alleviated by continuing the operation of the apparatus after one portion of the helix has been distorted.
  • a top roller it! may be pressed against that portion of each coil which contacts the top of the forwarding roller 66.
  • the roller EOE! is rotatably supported in the bearing plates l0! and H32 which in turn are held by the overhanging frame structures m3 and E54 located at the ends of the apparatus.
  • Suitable adjusting means I05 and H36 are provided to adjust the distance between the top roller wt and the roller 60 so that wires of difierent diameters can be processed.
  • This top roller Hit may be omitted in the apparatus or" this invention especially when the wire is tempered and when there is no frictional engagement with the walls of the tank.
