Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for vibrating liquids, in which vibrations are transmitted to the liquid through the whole or a part of the walls themselves of the vessel containing the liquid.
  • the vibrations of the walls are obtained by the fact that those walls, or the elements of which they are made, are traversed by lines of force of magnetic or electric fields having periodically variable intensities.
  • frequencies are used, for example, 50 to 100 cycles per second, that is to say, frequencies which are generally used by vibrators supplied with alternating current of a frequency of 50 cycles per second, a practically stationary vibratory system is obtained.
  • the walls and the liquid form a complete vibratory system having several degrees of freedom, that is to say, several resonance frequencies.
  • the system formed by the receptacle and the liquid on the one hand, and the emitters of the said fields on the other are preferably given such characteristics that their frequencies are in resonance.
  • the frequency of variation of the fields is 100 cycles. If the vibratory system is to be tuned to that frequency, the vessel must be given relatively small dimensions (-20 litres for example) with the usual sheet In order to make the vessel larger while preserving resonance, the thickness of the walls would have to be increased which would make the apparatus less sensitive.
  • the walls form one of the elements of the magnetic circuit, they must be of a term-magnetic material, That in some cases can be a disadvantage. In that case, one can make the non-ferro-magnctic wall integral with a part of ferro-magnetic material closing the magnetic circuit of the electro-magnet or subjected to the action of a coil traversed by an electric current the intensity of which is subject to periodic variations.
  • the applications of the present invention are very numerous. Among those applications one can mention in particular washing machines, emulsifiers, baths for cleaning metals, galvano-plastic devices, vibrators for use in the manufacture of foodstufls, etc.
  • FIG. l a vertical section through a washing machine in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 6 a side view of the vessel of a third washing machine in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 7 a section taken on the line VII-VII of a part of Figure 6;
  • FIG 8 a perspective view partially in section through a fourth washing machine in accordance with the present invention.
  • the washing machine shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises an iron vessel 2 of square horizontal section, the upper edge 1 of which rests on a frame 3 mounted on a support 4 having four feet.
  • a gas burner 8 provides the necessary heat.
  • a octagonal frame 5 is fixed on the corners of the vessel 2 and carries four electro-magnets 7.
  • One of the elements of the magnetic circuit of those electro-magnets is constituted by the vertical wall itself of the vessel 2. If those four electro-magnets 7 are fed with the same alternating current, the walls oscillate at a frequency twice that of the alternating current. The vibrations of the walls are in phase and the walls are drawn in at the same time.
  • the end 11 is fixed at the height of the liquid level in the vessel 2. Numerous spurts of water then occur from the free surface of the liquid particularly near the walls of the vessel 2. For washing clothes, the latter have only to be immersed in the suitably prepared liquid.
  • the liquid level in the vessel 2 remains constant, the pipe 10 acting as an overflow.
  • the present invention is not limited to the washing machine described above.
  • the walls of the vessel 2 are of ferromagnetic material as in Figures 1 and 2, that can be a disadvantage.
  • the wall 2 could be used as one element of a condenser the other element of which is shown at 17 and the charge on which is subject to periodic variations.
  • fix to the wall 2 a sleeve 18 on which is wound a conductor 19 supplied with alternating current and disposed in a magnetic field.
  • the Washing machine shown in Figures 6 and 7 comprises a vessel 2 the edge 1 of which has lugs 11a while the lower edge has lugs 12a.
  • Those supports form screens Set for protecting the electromagnets 7 against the hot gases of the burner 8.
  • the supports are provided with openings 5b substantially at the centre.
  • the electromagnets are formed by a packet of plates 7 and a coil 7a; each of these electromagnets is carried by a stirrup 20 which is fixed to the base of the support by screws 21 the heads of which are welded to the support 5. On these screwthreaded rods are provided knurled nuts and locking nuts 23. The ends of the stirrup 20 are held between knurled nuts 22 and locking nuts 23.
  • the air gap of the magnetic circuit defined by the plates 7 and the wall 2 can be adjusted and the force of attraction thus modified.
  • washing machine is otherwise identical to that of the washing machine shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the vessel need not be of square cross section as in the examples described above. It can be round or rectangular as shown in Figure 8.
  • the vessel or container shown in Fig. 8 is formed with double walls 2a and 2b and the inner wall portions of the walls 2a are not strictly plane but formed with depressions at 24, here shown to be circular and coaxial with the electromagnets 7, only one of which is shown in Fig. 8.
  • the depressions 24 allow not only the period of the vibration of the unit formed by the vessel and its contents to be varied but also allow the elimination of certain internal stresses in the plates forming the vibratory wall 2a.
  • washing machine is analogous to that of the washing machines described above.
  • Vibration apparatus comprising, in combination, support means; container means mounted on said support means and adapted to contain liquid to be vibrated and having at least one wall portion including ferro-magnetic material, said container means with liquid therein being adapted to vibrate within a certain frequency range,
  • Vibration apparatus comprising, in combination, support means; container means mounted on said support means and adapted to contain liquid to be vibrated and having at least one wall portion including ferro-magnetic material, said container means with the liquid therein being adapted to vibrate within a certain frequency range, the actual frequency within said range depending upon the amount of liquid in said container means; electrical vibration producing means mounted on said support and comprising electromagnetic means supplied with alternating current of a frequency of 50-60 cycles per sec., said vibration producing means cooperating with said wall portion including ferro-magnetic material for vibrating said container means together with the liquid contained therein at an actual frequency within said frequency range; and means operable for varying the level of the liquid adapted to be contained in said container means for adjusting the frequency of vibration of said container means with said liquid therein to a frequency resonant with said actual frequency within said frequency range, whereby resonance can be established between the frequency of said vibration producing means and the adjusted frequency of said container means with the liquid therein.
