Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for casting metal in vacuum and, more particularly, to valve mechanism for controlling the connection between a vacuum line and the casting chamber.
  • the valve mechanism for this purpose is constructed in the form of a cartridge to facilitate its removal and replacement as a unit in the vacuum line for cleaning or repair.
  • Vacuum pumps for withdrawing air and gas from casting chambers in vacuum casting systems have load-pressure operating characteristics that require careful regulation of their connection to the casting chamber to prevent overloading which may result in the pumps pulling out and being rendered inoperative. Since the volume of the casting chambers is large, overloading of the pumps will result if the connection with the casting chamber is made too rapidly, particularly during starting when the system is being conditioned for a casting operation.
  • One of the objects of the invention accordingly, is to provide a valve of improved construction which will enable the required throttling regulation of the connection between the vacuum line and the casting chamber.
  • a further object of the invention accordingly is to provide a valve having a cartridge construction that facilitates, as stated above, its removal and replacement in the vacuum line.
  • the cartridge comprises a cylindrical housing that carries all of the valve operating parts and is adapted to have telescopic engagement in one of the pipe sections of the vacuum line to mount it in operative position.
  • FIGURE 1 is a vertical sectional view which shows the manner in which the valve is mounted in a pipe line;
  • FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the valve shown in FIG- URE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along the line III-III of FIGURE 2;
  • FIGURE 4 is a fragmentary sectional view drawn to an enlarged scale showing the construction of the valve seat
  • FIGURE 5 is a plan view which shows the arrangement of the pilot valves in the main valve throttle plate
  • FIGURE 6 is an enlarged plan view of a portion of the main valve plate shown in FIGURE 5 that contains one of the pilot valves therein;
  • FIGURE 7 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line VIIVII of FIGURE 6;
  • FIGURES 8 and 9 are respectively plan and elevational views of a valve liner that forms part of the pilot valve shown in FIGURE 7;
  • FIGURE 10 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to FIGURES 2 and 3, but showing a modified embodiment of the invention which omits the pilot valves of the preferred embodiment shown in FIGURES 2 and 3.
  • the valve of this invention is in the form of a cartridge that comprises a cylinder 1 on which all of the essential operating parts of the valve are mounted. At its upper end the cylinder 1 has an outturned flange 2 by which it is supported on a coupling 3,313,318 Patented Apr. 1 r, 1967 flange 3 at one end of a pipe section 4 that forms part of a vacuum line for withdrawing air and gas from the casting chamber of a vacuum casting apparatus.
  • the pipe section 4 forms the terminal end of the vacuum line within the casting chamber, in which case the valve flange 2 is loosely supported on the pipe coupling flange 3 so that the valve may be easily removed between casting operations.
  • the valve may be located in a portion of the vacuum line outside the casting chamber, in which case the flange 2 is bolted between the coupling flange 3 and a similar coupling flange 5 on the end of an adjacent pipe section 6.
  • the valve is preferably located between pipe sections 4 and 6 at a point where the vacuum line is normally separated between routine casting operations to provide for its ready removal from the section 4 when necessary.
  • the cylinder 1 has a telescopic or slide fit in the pipe section 4 so that its internal surface 7 in effect forms a part of the pipe-line through which air and gas flows from the casting chamber to the vacuum pumps in the direction indicated by the arrows in FIGURE 1.
  • the valve comprises a circular throttle plate 8 and a valve seat 9 in the form of an annular flange that extends circumferentially about the lower end of the cylinder 1 and furnishes a support for an O-ring seal 10.
  • the O-ring seal 11 ⁇ provides a valve seating surface 11 that faces in an upward axial direction relative to the cylinder 1 and engages a peripheral edge portion of the throttle plate 8 when it is lowered to its closed position as shown in solid lines in the drawings. From its closed position, the throttle plate 8 travels axially upwardly with a tilting motion to an open position in a manner to be described.
  • Upward movement of the valve plate 8 in the cylinder 1 is effected by a pair of cables 12 that have their lower ends connected with the plate 3 in a manner to be described and their upper ends connected to winding spools 13.
  • the spools 13 are keyed to an operating shaft 14 which has opposite ends 15 thereof rotatably supported in openings in the flange 2 at the upper end of the cylinder 1.
  • One of the shaft ends 15 has an extension 16 for connection with a crank (not shown) for manual operation or a motor driven pulley (not shown) for effecting rotation thereof.
  • the spools 13 may be omitted and the cables attached to and wound directly on the shaft 14.
  • Initial upward movement of the throttle plate 8 in this manner operates to move it out of seating engagement with the valve seating surface 11.
  • Disengagement of the throttle plate 8 with respect to the seating surface 11 in this manner provides for limited flow of air and gas through the annular space or clearance about the peripheral edge of the throttle plate 8.
  • the operating cables 12 are connected at their lower ends with the throttle plate 8 through pilot valves 21 in a manner to be described.
  • the lower ends of the cables 12 are connected by eyelets 22 directly to the throttle plate 8 so that initial upward movement of the cables 12 by winding rotation of the spools 13 is effective to elevate the throttle plate 8.
  • each of the pilot valves 21 are located in spaced positions along a diameter of the plate 8 that is parallel to the tilting rod 17.
  • each of the pilot valves 21 operates to provide an adjustable throttling connection for gradual reduction of the pressure on the upper or casting chamber side of the main valve plate 8 before axial upward movement is imparted thereto by the cables 12.
  • each of the pilot valves 21 comprises a cylinder 2? that is secured at its upper end to the throttle plate 8 in a depending position arranged concentrically about an opening 24 therein.
  • An annular valve seat 25 is secured to the lower end of the cylinder 23 for engagement with a circular valve plate 26 that is movable axially upwardly from its closed position engaged with the valve seat 25 as shown in solid lines in FIGURE 6.
  • the cable 12 extends through an opening 27 in the valve plate 26 and has a lead weight 28 in the form of a ball at its lower end.
  • the weights 28 engage and raise the valve plate 26 in the cylinder 23 out of seating engagement with the valve seat 25.
  • a valve liner 29 is arranged about the inner surface of the cylinder 23 and has a plurality of V-shaped slots 30 therein.
  • the slots 39 have their points 31 arranged adjacent the valve seat 25 so that they are gradually uncovered during upward movement of the valve plate 26 in the cylinder 23 to provide gradually increasing openings through which the pressure above the main valve plate 8 is gradually reduced.
  • the valve In operation, the valve is closed and the vacuum ejector pump connected with the ejector piping 4 is turned on when the casting chamber is ready for a metal casting operation as customary in vacuum casting apparatus of this kind. After this has been done, the valve is operated to connect the casting chamber piping 6 with the vacuum piping 4 and this is accomplished as explained above by rotating the winding spools 13 to draw the cables 12 upwardly in the cylindrical casing 1. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, upward movement of the cables 12 in this manner operates initially to engage the Weights 23 at the lower ends of the cables 12 with the pilot valve plate 26 and move it upwardly over the inner surface of the valve liner 29.
  • valve of this invention enables the operator to carefully control the vacuum connection for the casting chamber in a manner that prevents withdrawal of air or gas from the casting chamber at a rate that will overload the vacuum pumps. Since all of the essential valve operating parts are carried by the cylinder 1, which is readily assembled with a telescopic movement in an existing pipe section 4, it will be further apparent that the valve of this invention facilitates its removal for cleaning or repair. Although a cartridge construction using the removable cylinder 1 is preferred for this reason, it will be understood that the valve may be formed in a separate housing such as the pipe section 4.
