Brown, Downers Grove, 1 11., assignor to Western Electric Company, Incorporated, New York, N. Y., a cor oration or New York Application August 7, 1951, Serial No. 240,694 '10 Claims. (31. 18- 13 This invention relates to e'Xtruder's, and more particularly to tool holders for extruding head's.
In the extrusion of insulating ahd jacke't'ing compounds in the form of coverings on filaments, such as, to'r example, conductors and cable cores, thecore usually is advanced through a core tube removably mounted in an extruding head of an extruder, and a die also removably mounted in the extruding head and the compound 'is forced between the die and the core tube to form the covering. Core tubes and dies of difie'reht sizes are used with the same extruder to cover cores of different sizes. With the apparatus of the prior art, it has been difficult to change or clean dies and core tubes in an extrude'r without considerable loss of time.
An object of the invention is to provide new and-improved extruders.
A further object of the invention is to provide new and improved tool holders for extruders.
Another object of the invention is to provide quickdetachable core tubes and dies and holding 'elemehts therefor.
An extruder illustrating certain features of the invention may include an extruding head having aligned sockets therein, a die designed to fit into one of the sockets, a die designed to fit into the other socket, quick-detachable means for locking the die in the socket into which it fits and quick-detachable means for locking thecore tube in the other socket.
A complete understanding obtained from the following apparatus forming a specific read in conjunction with which Fig. 1 is a fragmentary, horizontal section of an appar atus forming one embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken along line 2 -2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken along line 3 3 of Fig. 1; 1
Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken along line 44 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 5 is an explodedperspective view of a portion of the apparatus shown in Fig. l.
Referring now in detail to the drawings, there is shown therein an extruding head 8 fitting on an extruding cylinder 9 and having a quick-detachable tapered die 10 and a quick-detachable core tube '12. has a tapered flow passage and a tapered socket 16, fits loosely in a socket 17 in'the head, and may be adjusted by adjustment screws 18 and adjustment screws 19 carryi-ng dial gauges 20. Heating elements 21 are inou'nted in the die holder with conductors 22 leading from the heating elements along an annular groove 24. An outer locking ring 26, threaded into a tapped portion 28 of the socket 17 in the extruding head, hasspaced cam lugs 29. Cam lugs 30, formed on-an inner lo'cking'rihg 3'1, engage the cam lugs 29 to hold the tapered 'die 10 firmly in the tapered socket 16, the two rings forming a breech-type of the invention may be detailed description of an embodiment thereof, when the appended drawings, in
A die holder 14, which 2 look. The ring 31 may be turned to move the lugs 30 out of engagement with the lugs 9, and the ring 31 removed, the lugs '30 moving freely between the lugs 29 as the die '10 is pulled out of the extruding head.
A core tube holder 34 is mounted rigidly in a passage 32 in the extrusion head 8 by a splining pin 33 fitting in a slot 27 and a cap 35 threaded on a boss 36 of the head to hold a collar 37 threaded on the holder 34 against the end of the boss. To remove the core tube 12 from the holder 34, a cam "sleeve, 38, having end flanges 39 and 40 and cam slots 43, is turned in a stationary tube 41 to push a draw tube 45 to the right by meansof followers 46, splining the core tube holder 34 to the tube 41. The followers 46 are slidable along longitudinal slots 47 in the tube 41. This pushes a tapered shoulder '54 on the tube 12 away from a tapered socket 52 formed in the core tube holder 34 by means of an annular shoulder 55 on a locking sleeve 56 pushing against arcuate lugs 58 formed on a shank 59 of the core tube. The core tube may then be turned to move the lugs 58 away from lugs 60 on the locking sleeve 5'6 to openings '61 therebetween and withdrawn from the locking ring and the extruding head. A pin '62.projectin"g radially from the tip 12 engages one of the lugs 60 to align the lugs 58 with the lugs 60 when the core tube is assembled with the core tube holder 34 prior to the actuation of the draw tube 45 to pull the core tube tight against the tube holder. The core tube may be released by the operator and held solely by the draw tube as the draw tube is pulled to the left to seat the core holder tube. The juncture of the core tube and the core tube holder is positioned at the small end of the tapered passage 1-5 rather than farther into the extrusion head to facilitate cleaning plastic material off the end of the core tube holder and the core tube, in preparing to remove the core tube from the extruding head.
A pipe leading to exhaust means (not shown) fits into a socket 71 in a fitting 72 rigidly connected to the core tube holder 34, and exhausts the core tube to draw a covering extruded between the die '10 and the core tube tightly onto a core advanced through the core tube and die. Holes 73 in the draw tube 45 form a passageway from the interior of the core tube to the interior of the core tube holder 34 for such exhausting.
The die holder 14 may be adjusted laterally of its-longitudinal axis by loosening the outer locking ring 26, me.- nipulating the adjustment screws 18 and 19, and retighttiming the outer locking ring. The dial gauges 20 show thepo'sition of the die, and their readings for the optimum position of each of various dies to be used in the extruder may be recorded to greatly facilitate setting-up operations. The taper of the die and the taper of the socket 1 6 in the die holder insure concentricity of the die and die holder. Similarly, the taper of the shoulder 52 of the core tube 12 and the taper of the socket 52 in the core tube holder precisely and uniformly locate the core tube in the extruding head 8 each time the core tube is seated in the socket. I
The core tube 12 and the die 10 may be removed and replaced with another core tube and die in a very short time even though the core 'tube and die may be so hot as they are removed that they can be held and manipulated by a gloved operator only a few seconds at a time. Thus, for such substitutions, the extruder need be shut down only a few minutes.
Certain features of the above-described extruder are disclosed and claimed in co-p'ending application Serial No. 240,643, filed August 7, 1951, by H. A. Myers for Extruders. I
