Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for supplying descaling installations and the like with a flow of low or high pressure fluid issuing from spray nozzles arranged on platforms.
  • the installations includes platforms having nozzles which during the descaling processes are supplied with a flow of high pressure liquid which issues from the separate nozzles and impinges at high pressure on the work-piece to be descaled.
  • the nozzle platforms are supplied, during the intervals of spraying, with a low pressure liquid to avoid air inclusions inside the nozzles or the nozzle platforms and the associated fluid circuit, as otherwise, on subsequent actuation of the flow of high pressure fluid, damage could occur inside the installation.
  • the low pressure side is shut off from the high pressure side by a non-return valve which is kept closed by the actuated flow of high pressure liquid.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the abovementioned disadvantages and to provide an apparatus which ensures a positive and sure separation of the high and low pressure flow circuits and at the same time avoid the sources of breakdown resulting from the use of non-return valves acting adversely as regards the high pressure flow.
  • the invention provides that the bearing-surface areas of the piston are arranged to act in opposition to each other, with the sum of the forces acting on the surfaces arranged in the same pressure direction being greater than the sum of the forces acting on the surfaces of the piston arranged in the opposite pressure direction.
  • the inlet opening for the low and high pressure fluids can be arranged in each case at an end of the control valve housing and the piston at both ends provided with sealing sections of different size so as to make it possible for the one liquid flow circuit to open only after the other circuit has closed.
  • This can be effected simply such as by covering the two end sealing sections of the piston, which at the same time can be provided with conical seatings for cooperation with corresponding seatings in the housing and by the dampening effect thereof on actuation of the control valve prevent the occurrence of hydraulic impacts and other disadvantages, such asv increased wear and tear.
  • the piston of the control valve is formed longitudinal channels, one of which channels, when the low pressure connecting pipe is opened, effects a connection to a pipe connected to the housing and leading to the platforms, while another channel thereof connects the high pressure side of the housing continuously with a pressure chamber provided in the housing, with the pressure chamber enclosing one of the bearing surfaces of the piston.
  • the displacement of the piston is effected by an area of the piston admitting pressure fluid, with the pressure fluid being supplied via an externally controlled valve and the corresponding bearing surface area remaining pressureless or admitting high pressure fluid in accordance with the position of the valve at the time.
  • the pressure fluid can be tapped either from the high pressure stream flowing into the housing or supplied via an independent control pipe for the high pressure fluid flow.
  • the position of the valve concerned is determined by an externally controlled pressureoperated valve, which may be connected with a safety device inserted in the low pressure flow circuit, with the result that on any interruption of the flow of low pressure fluid, the actual control valve is not actuated to activate the high pressure flow circuit.
  • FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic view in elevation of the descaling apparatus, with two nozzle platforms and control members.
  • FIGURE 2 is a view in longitudinal section through a control valve of the descaling apparatus of FIGURE 1, shown in working position, and
  • FIGURE 3 is a view in longitudinal section through the control valve of FIGURE 2, showing a different position of the piston.
  • a workpiece for instance a rolled or forged piece 4, shown in dotted lines in the drawing, is inserted between an upper platform 2 and a lower platform 3 each of which is equipped with nozzles 1, and is descaled by means of high pressure jets of fluid issuing from the nozzles 1.
  • the platforms 2, 3 are supplied with high pressure fluid via guide pipes 5, 5', which are fed from a high pressure pipe 7 attached to a control valve 6, shown diagrammatically.
  • the control valve 6 is supplied with a flow of high pressure fluid via a supply pipe 8 with interposed slide valves or some other shut-off member 9 and with a flow of low pressure fluid via a supply line 10 with an inserted shutoff member 11.
  • a further pipe 12 is attached to the control valve 6.
  • the said pipe 12 acts as an actual control pipe and is fed via a valve 13 from a pipe 14 conveying a flow of high pressure fluid.
  • the pipe 14 also is provided with a shut-off member 15'.
  • the valve 13 is constructed as a 3/2-way valve and is controlled by a preliminary valve 16, which is preferably pressure-actuated and fed via a pressure air pipe 17, shown in dotted lines, with the pressure air pipe having an interposed shut-off member 18.
  • FIGURE 2 the control valve 6 is shown in section, with the supply pipes 7, 5, 5' and the nozzle platforms 2, 3 being in elevation.
  • the valve housing including two parts 6, 6" has end flanges 18a and 19 for the connection of the control valve 6 with the high pressure pipe 8 and the low pressure pipe 10 respectively.
  • the fixing of the flanges 18a and 19 can be effected in any desired manner, for instance by means of screws or the like, and the flanges per se can also be of multi-part construction, as can be seen in FIGURE 2, by the arrangement of an additional bushing 18 on the high pressure side.
  • Bores 7' and 12', respectively are provided inside the housing part 6 for the pipe 7 and the high pressure pipe 12 leading to the nozzle platforms 2, 3, and the bores open into corresponding pressure chambers 7" and 25.
  • a movable piston 20 is accommodated within the valve housing and is provided with substantially cylindrical end sealing sections 21, 22 having conical seating surfaces 21', 22' respectively cooperating with corresponding sealing surfaces of bushings 23, 24 inserted in the housing parts 6', 6". Hence, position of the piston 20 inside the control valve 6, determines whether the high pressure side 8 or the low pressure side 10 is blocked.
  • the piston 20 assumes the position shown in FIGURE 2, so that the pressure fluid can pass from the high pressure pipe 8 leading to the interior of the control valve 6 into the pressure chamber 7", through the bore 7 into the pipe 7, and via the guide pipes 5, 5 to the nozzle platforms 2, 3 and the nozzles 1.
  • the position of the piston 20 inside the housing parts 6', 6" is necessarily determined by a flow of high pressure fluid conveyed from the pipe 14 via the valve 13, the pipe 12 and the bore 12' into pressure chamber 25.
  • This is due to the fact that the pressure acting in the direction of the arrow a on a corresponding pressure surface 25' of the piston 20, located within the pressure chamber 25, together with the pressure acting in the direction of the arrow b on the end face of the piston 20 and its sealing section 21, is greater than the flow of high pressure fluid conveyed via longitudinal bores 27 in the piston 20 and corresponding trans-verse bores 28 into a corresponding pressure chamber 26 acting in the direction of the arrow 0 on opposite pressure surface 26' and the pressure of the low pressure flow acting in the direction of the arrow d on the other end of the piston 20 and its sealing section 22.
  • the extent of the forces acting on the concerned pressure surfaces of the piston 20 can be determined in a simple way by the size of the individual pressure surfaces as a function of the extent of the flow of high or low pressure concerned.
  • the valve 13 is opened via the pressure-actuated preliminary valve 16 and the pressure chamber 25 is vented via the pipe 12 and pipe 13" connected to the valve 13.
  • the surface 25' of the piston 20 is relieved of pressure so that the pressure in direction of the arrow a drops to zero.
  • the forces acting in the direction of the arrows c and d thus become greater than the force acting in the direction of the arrow b, and the piston 20 is moved from the position shown in FIGURE 2 into the position illustrated in FIGURE 3 and simultaneously the supply of high pressure fluid through the pipe 8 is positively blocked. Since, on the displacement of the piston 20" fluid is expelled from the sealing sections 21 and 22, a dampening effect is present which ensures a smooth opening and closing of the valve 6.
  • the low pressure pipe 10 is freed from the sealing section 22 so that the flow of low pressure fluid, acting as feed flow, is conveyed to the pipes 7, 5, 5' and accordingly to the nozzle platforms 2, 3, via a transverse bore 29 in the sealing section 22 facing the low pressure side 10, a further longitudinal bore 30 inside the piston 20 and a transverse bore 31 facing the sealing section 31.
  • the bore 31 opens into the pressure chamber 7", and the pressure chamber is in communication with the bore 7' previously mentioned.
  • the position of the piston 20 is here ensured by the flow of high pressure fluid, acting in the direction of the arrow c via the bores 27, 28, into the pressure chamber 26, as well as by the flow of low pressure fluid, acting in the direction of the arrow d, in the same direction.
  • valve 13 When, after the insertion of a fresh work-piece 4, pressure fluid is again to be supplied to the nozzles 1, the valve 13 is actuated via the preliminary valve 16 which is pressure-actuated and supplied via the pressure air pipe 17, so that high pressure fluid flows, via the high pressure pipe 14 and the pipe 12 opening into the control valve, into the pressure chamber 25 and against the pressure surface 25 of the piston 20, whereby the forces directed according to the arrows a and b again become effective, with such forces being greater than the forces acting in the opposite direction as indicated by arrows c and d, so assumes the piston 20 again takes position shown in FIGURE 2.
  • the pipe 14 leading to the valve 13, is, as can be seen in FIGURES 2 and 3, branched from the flow of high pressure fluid in the pipe 8. It can, however, be fed from another pressure source having a pressure different from the pressure existing in the pipe 8.
  • the pressure air pipe 17 for controlling the preliminary valve 16 or the shut-off member 18 or the like inserted in the pipe 17 can also be connected with a safety member, installed for instance in the low pressure pipe (not shown) in such a way that on drop-out of the flow of low pressure fluid, the valve 13 freeing the flow of high pressure fluid does not respond.
  • An apparatus for descaling installations for selectively supplying high pressure fluid or low pressure fluid to platforms equipped with spray nozzles comprising a housing, conduit means for providing communication between the interior of the housings and the platform, a control valve having a movable piston positioned in said housing, said housing being provided with means constitutng inlets for high and low pressure fluids and an outlet to said conduit means, said piston being movable between a first position permitting fluid flow from the high pressure inlet to the outlet while preventing low pressure fluid flow, and a second position permitting fluid flow from the low pressure inlet to the outlet while preventing high pressure flow, said piston having a first pressure surface exposed to the high pressure fluid at the high pressure inlet whereby the pressure of the fluid tends to move the piston towards its first position, a second pressure surface exposed to the low pressure fluid at the low pressure inlet whereby the pressure of the fluid tends to move the piston towards its second position, and a third pressure surface, means for controllably applying pressure fluid to the third pressure surface for displacing the piston between its first and second positions
