Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for hydraulically deescaling ingots and more particularly hollow ingots by means of pressure fluid issuing from nozzles, with suitable nozzle sets or batteries being associated with the surfaces to be de-scaled.
  • the Work-piece to be de-scaled is arranged in a closed housing and the surfaces to be de-scaled are successively sprayed by means of suitable nozzles so that the scale is removed.
  • the advantages oiered by de-scaling by means of pressure iluid can, however, with this prior known arrangement only be fully utilized with simple workpiece shapes, while, in the case of workpieces having surfaces to be de-scaled which are difficult to approach, such as, for example hollow ingots, disadvantages arise which can unfavorably iniluence not only the economy of the process, but also the quality of the material.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the above disadvantages, While retaining all the advantages of hydraulic de-scaling and to provide an apparatus, which ensures the greatest possible economy with a most advantageous treatment of the workpiece with a smaller technical expenditure.
  • the individual cylinders vertically on their common support so that the individual nozzle sets or batteries are moved in opposite directions. If necessary, the movement of the individual nozzle sets or batteries can also be effected in the same direction. In this case, the couplings for the supply of the pressure fluid or the arrangement, of the individual cylinders must be chosen accordingly.
  • a connecting conduit In order to ensure a more certain or reliable charging of the individual nozzle sets or batteries with a pressure fluid, it is preferable to connect the pistons and/or the cylinders of the individual nozzle sets rigidly together at their ends by means 'of a connecting conduit.
  • the corresponding nozzle set or battery can then also be arranged in this connecting conduit and be formed, for example as a transverse stay, bridge piece or the like.
  • a control member may be associated with at least one of the nozzle sets or batteries, with such control member arresting the supply of pressure fluid to the nozzle sets, in a predetermined end position of the two sets and causing their return to their initial position.
  • control device only one control device is necessary for controlling the above apparatus and is provided with a control valve connected to the cylinders of one nozzle set or battery, with the valve effecting the supply -of the pressure duid which is switchable through a second control circuit thereby affording a disturbancefree operation and a simple servicing.
  • the use of a second control circuit for regulating the control valve per se is efficacious in that the highest pressures can easily be controlled and a supervision of the operation of the whole apparatus can be effected in a simple manner.
  • the nozzle sets or batteries together with their cylinders and pistons can be arranged in a common housing provided with an inlet opening, such as a swingable door for the ingot to be de-scaled, the inlet opening being preferably provided with a closing device, which, in the closed position, releases the supply of pressure fluid to the individual nozzle sets.
  • the closing device is connected to the second c-ontrol circuit, the apparatus can be automatically activated on the closing of the inlet opening and inactivated and returned to the rest position through the cont-rol member, operating at a predetermined end position of the two sets of nozzles and preferably also connected to the second control circuit.

  • the pistons are provided with extensions 4, 5", 6 and '7" respectively, which extend downwardly through suitably packed openings in the plate 3, and on the sides of which extensions are carried sets or batteries of nozzles 8 and 9 respectively.
  • the nozzle set or battery 8 is secured to a transverse stay 10 connecting the extensions 4 and 5" and the set is essentially a cylindrical member provided at its side facing the plate 3 with outlet openings 11 for the pressure fluid.
  • the nozzle set or battery 9 is, Ion the other hand, an annular member provided with outlet openings for the pressure fluid distributed over the periphery thereof and the member is carried at the lower ends of the extensions 6 and 7" .ofthe pistons 6, 7. i
  • a workpiece such as a hollow ingot 13 shown in dotdash lines in FIGURE 1 of the drawing, is de-scaled simultaneously externally and internally by the nozzle sets or batteries 8, 9, respectively while the pistons 4', 5', 6' and 7' are displaced from the position shown in FIG- URE 1 into the opposite position.
  • a piston 15, displaceable in a cylinder 14 connected to the plate 3 is moved downwardly and presses the hollow ingot on to the plate 12.
  • the supply of pressureizid to the individual cylinders 4, 5, 6, and 7 and the pistons 4', 5', 6 and '7' is effected through a control device 17 carried by a transverse member 16 connecting the cylinders 6 and 7 at their upper ends.
  • the device 17 includes a movable piston 18 and a valve 19, the ⁇ operation 'of which will be referred to hereafter.
  • the transverse member 16 has a bore 16" connecte-d with the nozzle set 9 through longitudinal bores in the pistons 6 and 7' and the bore 16 is connected through a branch 16' with the space containing the piston 18.
  • a control member 20 is arranged on one yof the stanchions 2 and cooperates with a valve 21 also carried by the same stanchion 2.

  • the ⁇ outlet is arranged in a stationary sump 24.
  • a pneumatic valve 25 is actuated so that air flows through a conduit 26 connected to the pneumatic valve 25 into the cylinder ⁇ 14 and forces the piston 15 with an end pressure member on to the workpiece 13, and holds the workpiece in position.
  • the housing is of circular cross section and provided with a door 22' in the form of an arcuate flap in its lower part.
  • the Valve 25 is fixed to the housing adjacent the edge of the opening therein and is provided with a spring-loaded plunger 25' which is engaged when the flap is in the closed position by a projection 22" on the free edge of the flap.
  • the valve is spring-loaded so that the valve is normally closed and hence is closed except when the flap is closed.
  • the projection 22" engages the valve plunger and -depresses the same to open the valve.
  • the valve 25 is fed with pressure air through a further conduit 27, with an interconnected pressure gauge 28, and the valve 21 as well as conduit 21 leading from the valve 21 to the valve 25.
  • the conduit 26 is connected through a branch 30 with a valve 32 connected through a conduit 31 with a pressure container or the like for the pressure fluid.

  • the cylinders 4 and 5 are connected at their ends remote from the extensions 4" and 5" by conduit portions 36a and 36b to a common conduit 36 connected to a throttle by-pass return valve 37 through which the speed of movement of the nozzle set 8 can be regulated continuously or in stages in depending on the instant pressure of the pressure fluid.
  • the cylinder spaces 6 and 7 are connected through branch conduit portions 38a and 3Sb to a common conduit 38, which, leads to a second throttle by-pass return valve 39 for controlling continuously, or in stages, the speed of movement of the nozzle set 9.
  • both conduits 36 and 38 can also lead to a common throttle by-pass return valve, or the two valves can be suitably coupled so that the movement of the nozzle sets 8 and 9 can also be controlled together.
  • the arrangement of separate throttle by-pass return valves 37, 39 enables a varied adjustment of the prevailing operating conditions.
  • control member 21 is moved through means (not shown) back into its initial position, s0 that the described sequence of operations can be initiated anew by the closing of the inlet opening.
