Claims. (Cl. 2S-103) This invention relates to brick presses for manufacturing refractory bricks, and more particularly to the feeding of batch material to the presses.
The well-known Boyd toggle press is an example of the kind of press to which this invention applies, but the invention is not limited thereto but is applicable also to other presses which form bricks from a granular batch. Many of the important properties of bricks made in such presses are governed by their bulk density, the control of which will depend on the success in feeding the same weight of uniformly mixed material to each mold box at each pressing. Refractory bricks are made of refractory grains of graded sizes, to-gether with water for tempering or lubrication. No other bond may be needed in order to give the bricks enough strength to be handled through drying and firing. In other cases, such bonds as starch, lime, or sulphite waste liquor may be used. In any case, however, the batch is diiicult to handle in ordinary equipment, because it is moist enough to be resistant to easy owing.
Present brick press charging devices require the semidry granular batch to flow laterally from the feed pipes into the charging box because the pipes have to be placed near the opposite sides of the charger, due to the central location of the pitman arm that operates the toggle. During this lateral ow of the batch, segregation of the various particles occurs and causes trouble. Thus, frequently the largest particles flow toward the side walls of the charging box, so that the finished brick will be different in composition or structure from onev end or side to the other. Such brick often have to be scrapped. Furthermore, this dependence on material flow of gravity often results in bricks which are poorly filled out. In a multiple mold set up, the several bricks may have different weights, dueto unequal charging. The lighter bricks will be unsatisfactory because high density is almost universally sought for in such products. Moreover, in refractory batches of certain types; for example, a tire clay batch made of flint clay and plastic clay, the rolling of particles leads to unwanted segregation. The plastic clay fines tend to roll up into small balls that are objectionable in the product and that prevent uniform distribution of the plastic clay which is relied upon for developing strong bonding.
It is among the objects of this invention to provide brick press feeding apparatus which prevents objectionable segregation of the batch from occurring, which is automatically controlled, which is variable for different operations, and which can be used with a conventional brick press.
In accordance with this invention, a charging box having an open top and bottom is movable forward from a rear batch-receiving position to a discharge position over the molding cavity of a brick press. A transfer hopper directly above the charging box empties into it in its rear position. The batch is delivered to this hopper by a conveyor belt, the rear end of which receives the batch from a feed hopper. The lower end of the front of the feed hopper is provided with an outlet slot, through which the N ice batch is drawn in a layer of predetermined size by the belt. For best results,` the widths of the charging box, transfer hopper and slot are substantially the same in order to minimize agitation of the batch material after it leaves the feed hopper. The conveyor is driven only while the charging box is in batch-receiving position and means may be provided for automatically stopping the conveyor before the transfer hopper is overilled at any time. The automatic stopping of the conveyor also assures an almost identical weight of batch for every charge.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l is a fragmentary vertical section through the upper part of a brick press;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of my feeding apparatus alone;
Figs. 3 and 4 are vertical sections taken on the lines lII--III and IV--IV, respectively, of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 5 is an electric wiring diagram.
Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, a brick press frame 1 is provided near its front with a molding cavity 2 in which bricks 3 are pressed between upper and lower dies 4 and 5. The upper die is reciprocated vertically by a cross head 7 slidably mounted in guides 8 at opposite sides of the frame. The cross head is moved up and down by toggle links 9 and 10 pivotally connected to the front end of a pitman arm 12 that extends back through the center of the machine to a crank pin 13 carried by a large gear 14. Synchronized with the movements of the dies is a charger that is slidably mounted on a table 16 directly behind the mold cavity. The front half of the charger is in the form of a box 17 that has an open top and bottom. The rear half of the charger includes a horizontal plate 18 on a level with thetop of the box. Secured to the rear end of this plate is the front end of a piston rod 19 which extends back into a iluid pressure cylinder 20.
The charging box 17 receives a charge of brick-making material or batch in its rear position, and then it is moved forward when the upper die 7 is raised. In its forward position the box registers with the mold cavity, and the material in the charger drops into the cavity. When a plurality of bricks are being made at the same time, the charging box and molding cavity are provided with partitions as is well known.
It is a feature of this invention that every time the charging box is retracted from its forward mold-filling position, it is filled with the same weight of a uniform mixture of granular material in which there is no objectionable segregation of coarse and fine particles. Accordingly, a small transfer hopper 22 is rigidly supported by the press frame in any suitable manner in a location directly above the charging box 17 when the latter is in its rear or retracted position. The hopper has an open bottom the same size as the top of the box and engages it lightly, but the bottom of the hopper is closed by the charger plate 1S when the charger is moved forward. The hopper preferably has upwardly flaring side walls, as shown in Fig. 3, and they and the rear wall of the hopper may be cut down for receiving the front end of a conveyor.
The conveyor, which extends under pitman arm 12 of the press, includes an endless belt 23 that is supported at its front end by a small roller 24 and at its rear end by a large roller 25. The two rollers are journaled in the opposite ends of a pai-r of horizontal angle bars 26. Near their rear ends the bars are supported by legs 27. Near their front ends they are supported by brackets 28 secured to the press frame. |The rear roller is driven by a chain and sprocket drive 29 from an electric motor 30 beneath it.
Directly above the conveyor belt, behind the press frame, there is a feed hopper 32 which has an open bottom engaged by the belt traveling forward beneath it. The belt thus forms the bottom of the hopper; The lower end of the frontwall of the feedhopper does not touch the belt, but is spaced from it a predetermined distauce, for example about one inch. As shown in Figi. 4, this forms a slot 33, the width of which is controlled by vertical plates 34-that overlap the front of the hopper and extend laterally in opposite directions away from it. Each plate is provided with a horizontal slot 35, through which a bolt 36' extends which connects the plate toa leg 37 of a frarne 38 that surrounds and supports the hopper. The frame is supported by the angle bars 26ofgthe conveyor. B y loosening bolts 3,6, plates 34 can be moved toward andaway from each otherto adjust the width of the slot.
The semi-dry brick making material may be delivered to` feed hopper 32- indifferent ways. A preferred manner of doing this is -to extend a conduit 40 upward from the; topY of the feed hopper to a point where it can receive the material from another conveyor 4lv of any suitable construction. This material, which is delivered to the upper end of the conduit well mixed, will stayfmixed as itl-.falls down through the conduit and into the feed hopper below. There is no chance for segregation of line and coarse particles at this point.
Assuming that the feed hopper, transfer hopper and charging box are all full of the desired batch, the charger is moved forward to lill the mold cavity and then is retracted. As soon as the empty charging box is pulled back beneath the transferhopper, the batch in that hopper refills the box, and the conveyor bel-t moves ahead to carry forward a layer of batch material corresponding in width and thickness tothe size of the outlet slot in feed hopper 32. The widthV of such a layer is indicated by broken lines 42 in Fig. 2. Segregation of the material does not occur on thebelt because there is no agitation ofthe material by the conveyor. TheV layer of material pours off the front endl` of the belt in a wide stream into the transfer hopper. The fall is not great, so there is notmuch chance of segregation occurring at this point, especially since the charging box will already be full of'material that it just received from the transfer hopper when the charger moved back under` it. The conveyor merely'has to replenish the material in the shallow trans- :fer` hopper.
It is highly desirable, however, in order to even further minimize the chance of segregation, to make the charging box` substantially as -wide as the mold cavity 2, to make the transfer hopper substantially as wide as the charging box and to adjust the width of the feed hopper slot to the width of the bottom of the transfer hopper. With this arrangement, the stream of material pouring off the front end of the conveyor belt will be substantially as wide as the transfer hopper and therefore will build up a mound of material in that hopper having the same thickness from end to end instead of forming a conical pile of material in the center of the hopper. There will therefore be no occasion for the particles of material to segregate by rolling toward the opposite sides of the transfer hopper. Although there will be some movement of the material toward the front and back of the hopper, this movement will be small and unobjectionable. After the charging box has discharged a load of material into the mold and has moved back under the transfer hopper for a, refill, the material in the hopper will pour straight down into the box and will have no occasion to move laterally in any direction therein. It will thus be seen that once the well-mixed batch of material leaves the feed hopper 32, it is agitated but very little before it reaches the, mold, so segregation will not occur.
AIt is desirable thatthebatch conveyor 23 should operate only while the charging box is in batch-reeivingposition. Therefore, a normally open electric switch 45 is secured to the rear end of table 16 and is closed only when it is struck by a lug 46, extending down from charger plate 18, when the charging box is retracted. This switch is in the electric circuit 47 to the conveyor motor 30, as shown in the wiring diagram in Fig. 5. The moment the box starts to move forward, the switch opens and the motor is shut off, thereby stopping the K conveyor.
g may be a .tilting one, such as a mercury switch, provided with a sail or vane 49 that extends down into the front part of the hopper for opening the switch when the vane is pushed forward bythe pressure of a predetermined quantity of batch material piling up against it. Whenrthe switch is opened in this manner, the conveyor is shut olf. To insure that the charging box will be in its fully retracted position and that switch 4S willV have to come to rest in closed position before motor 30V starts to operate, a delayed action relay isincorporated in the motor circuit. Thus, a wire Slis shunted across the motor circuit as shown in, Fig. 5, and contains a normally open switch 52 whichV is operated by vane 49 and which may be included in the housing of switch 48, The delayed action relay'of any well-known construction has a solenoid coil 53,` connected in wire 51 and a normally open switch 54 in circuit; 4 7, so that the circuit is not closed until the relay hasbeen closed. Delay in the closing of the relay after; switch 52 has closed is such that the relay switch 54 will be the last switch in the circuit to close. Fig. 5 shows the system just after switch 48 has closed` but beforeswitch 45 and the relay have been closed.
To keep feed hopper 32 full of batch mate-rial, it likewise may be fed automatically. Thus, a normally closed diaphragm type switch 55 is mounted in the wall of feed chuteV 40 near the upper end of the hopper. When the hopper is full. andthe material starts to pile up in the lower part of the conduit, its pressure against the switch diaphragm 56 will open the switch which is connected in the motor circuit that drives the upper conveyor 41v delivering material to the upper end of the chute. When the material falls away from the diaphragm, the switch will close again and additional material will be delivered to the upper end of the conduit to replenish the supply to the feed hopper.
