Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved device for regulating powder nozzles used for introducing a powdered auxiliary agent such as iron powder into the stream of cutting oxygen employed in the flame scarfing of ingots and like metal workpieces. More particularly, it concerns such a device whereby the width of the powder stream projected from the nozzle exit is conveniently regulated in accordance with the size of the workpiece to be scarfed.
  • An improved powder nozzle for use in flame scarfing is disclosed in the copending application Serial No. 130,- 131 filed August 8, 1961, by Giinter Biiddenhagen from which the powder is blown by means of a conveyor gas, preferably compressed air. Means are disposed within the powder nozzle for distributing the powder uniformly over the width of the powder nozzle exit. A feature of the device there disclosed is that the powder is supplied to a location close to the nozzle exit solely by means of gravity before mingling with the stream of conveyor gas.
  • the powder nozzle with a regulating device for controlling the width of the powder stream projected from the nozzle.
  • Such regulation is achieved by correspondingly changing the width of the stream of conveyor gas flowing through the nozzle, preferably by means of a sliding valve disposed in the channel through which the conveyor gas is supplied to the nozzle exit. It is obviously desirable for reasons of economy to project a stream of powder no wider than the workpiece to be scarfed.
  • the width of the powder stream is to be regulated as disclosed in the copending application by means of a single sliding valve arranged within the powder nozzles, this means that the gas channels across which the valve slides must be lined up precisely and that no air spaces or gaps are permitted between the individual powder nozzles.
  • the steering rod of the sliding valve in such case must have a length which corresponds at least to the maximum scarfing width and will extend in the case of a scarfing width of about 2 meters out of side of the powder nozzle for some 2 meters when the valve is wide open. It is also not possible to provide a remote control when thus arranging the regulating device within the gas channel of the powder nozzle.
  • the regulating device and the supply channel for the conveyor gas are arranged outside of the powder nozzle and that the supply channel is connected to a plurality of channels in the nozzle by means of hoses, tubes, or the like.
  • each powder nozzle may be provided with a separate regulating device and-that the precise arrangement of the channels, the sealing of the nozzles with respect to each other, and the very long steering rod of the sliding valve can be avoided.
  • the regulating devices in such cases may be arranged at a single or several desired locations either side by side, above and below, or before and behind each other.
  • a movable sliding valve preferably a cylindrical piston. It is however also possible to employ closing valves in the hoses, tubes, or the like, whereby the steering rod which projects sideways can be avoided, or other suitable regulating devices for the flow of a conveyor gas.
  • the length of the gas supply channel is made less than one-half the width of the powder nozzle.
  • several channels are provided in the nozzle for each connecting hose.
  • the regulating device can be made substantially smaller, and the steering rod of the piston valve, when wide open, will not project so far from the side of the scarfing machine.
  • This is also the case if a single sliding valve is employed for a plurality of powder nozzles.
  • the smallness of the regulating device is of advantage, quite aside from the lessening of the amount of materials required.
  • valve means connected in parallel to adjust the streams of scarfing oxygen and/or heating gas for the scarfing heads to any desired width.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional elevational view of a. powder nozzle and its associated regulating device
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view along the line II--II in FIG. 1.
  • the powder nozzle 1 is provided with a plurality of channels 3 out of which the powder is blown by a conveyor gas which in this case is compressed air introduced through a pipe 8 into the channel 4 and from there through a plurality of flexible hoses 2 to the nozzle channels 3.
  • a conveyor gas which in this case is compressed air introduced through a pipe 8 into the channel 4 and from there through a plurality of flexible hoses 2 to the nozzle channels 3.
  • three nozzle channels 3 are connected to each hose 2.
  • the powder is conveyed into the nozzle channel 3 through a bore 7, as may be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the regulation of the width of the powder stream projected out of nozzle channels 3 is accomplished by closing one or more of the hoses 2 from the supply channel 4, i.e. by sliding the piston valve 5. Since there is no compressed air available in the closed-off nozzle channels 3, no powder can blow out of them.
  • An apparatus for flame scarfing metallic workpieces comprising in combination a powder nozzle having a plu-v rality of sets of outlet channels spaced over a pre-determined width dimension, each set including at least two outlet channels and a common inlet channel, powder feed means connected to each outlet channel in said sets for feeding powder thereto,.
  • pressure means connected to each of said inlet channels to accelerate the flow of powder through said outlet channels, :said pressure means including pressure medium supply connecting means, a manifold communicating with said pressure medium supply connecting means, said manifold being spaced from said nozzle and having a width substantially smaller than said predetermined nozzle Width dimension, a plurality of conduits connected to said manifold, each of said conduits communicating with a respective inlet channel of said sets of said outlet channels, and sliding valve means in said manifold for closing a selected number of said conduits and their respective sets of outlet channels in accordance with the extent to which said valve means is inserted-into and extended out of said manifold.
  • valve means is a piston valve having an elongated rod connected thereto extending from one end of said manifold, the other end of said manifold communicating with said pressure medium supply means and the overall Width of said manifold and said piston rod in its fully extended position being no greater than said pre-determined nozzle width.
  • each of said sets of outlet channels includes three outlet channels.
