Definitions

  • the dirty underflow from the hydroclone is collected by a trough and fed into an auxiliary pool in the drag tank separated from the main pool by a notched dam over which accompanying fluid flows, through a baffled passage, after settling out of the bulk of the returned solids.
  • a conventional drag conveyor removes solids from the main pool and an extension thereof drags solids out of the auxiliary pool.
  • This invention relates to the separation of solid particles from liquid and, more particularly, to an apparatus and method for cleaning liquid such as machine tool coolant in a system serving one or more machines having tools which remove metal chips and swarf from workpieces and may release particles of abrasive grit and bonding material as the tools themselves are worn away, for example, in honing and grinding machines.
  • hydroclone One type of separator that has been used to some extent is the so-called hydroclone in which a stream of dirty liquid is introduced under pressure into a conical chamber to swirl around the chamber from the larger end toward the smaller end and separate the heavier substances by progressively increasing centrifugal action, the heavier particles being discharged at the smaller end as the underflow of the separator and the lighter substance, the clean liquid, being withdrawn along the axis of the cone at the larger end.
  • the primary problems with such separators are the disposition of the dirty underfiow mixture, wear and plugging of the pump for feeding the hydroclone, and the effect on hydroclone operation of variations in the needs of the using system and the resulting changes in hydroclone pressure if variable restrictions are imposed upon its output.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a more effective separating apparatus and method which utilize a hydroclone separator and improve the overall performance of the separator by eliminating material changes in the system pressure, minimizing the amount of entrained solids that are pumped to the hydroclone, effectively handling the dirty underflow, and recirculating a substantial portion of the clean liquid for optimum cleaning when the using system requires less than the full output of the hydroclone. Moreover, these important advantages are achieved with a competitively priced apparatus that is high in operating efficiency and low in operating cost.
  • the hydroclone is combined with a settling tank to which the dirty liquid is delivered from the using system and from which the liquid is pumped into the hydroclone, and the clean output of the latter is delivered .to a transfer tank from which the system is served according to its needs. Excess clean liquid is returned to the pumping system, without being released in the settling pool, and is recycled through the hydroclone with only that additional dirty liquid needed to make up for the liquid used, while the dirty underflow is returned to a part of the settling tank where the bulk of the solids are se gregated from the accompanying liquid by settling out before the latter flows back to the main settling pool and the pump,
  • FIG. I is a side elevational view of a separating apparatus embodying the novel features of the present invention and for practicing the method, parts of the apparatus being broken away and shown in cross section for clarity of illustration.
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view taken in a vertical plane through the apparatus shown in FIG. I substantially along the line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view taken substan-- tially along the line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective yiew of the basic parts of a drag conveyor incorporated in the settling tank for removal of accumulated solids therefrom.
  • the invention is embodied in an apparatus for separating metal chips, swarf, grit and the like, from a flow of machine tool coolant delivered to the apparatus through a conduit 10 (FIGS. I and 2) from the machine or machines served by the system, and returning to the system a supply of clean coolantthrough a pipe 11.
  • the apparatus comprises a settling tank 12 to which the dirty liquid is delivered, a hydroclone separator 13 to which liquid from the tank is delivered by a pumping apparatus 14, a transfer tank 15 receiving clean liquid from the hydroclone for return to the using system, and means for returning the underflow from the hydroclone to the settling tank and segregating the solids in the discharge from the liquid entering the pumping apparatus.
  • the settling tank 12 is basically conventional drag tank of sheet metal construction illustrated most clearly in FIGS. 2 and 3 as having upright sidewalls 17, a right end wall I8, (FIGS. I and 2) and a bottom wall which has a horizontal portion 19 forming the bottom of the settling pool 20 and an upwardly inclined portion 21 closing the left end of the tank and terminating in a lip 22 over which accumulated solids are discharged into a receptacle 23 by a drag conveyor 24.
  • the conveyor is supported on front and rear sprocket wheels 25 and 27 mounted on two horizontal shafts 28 and 29 disposed above the normal level 30 of liquid in the pool and journaled at their ends in bearings 31 on the tank sidewalls, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • Endless drag chains 32 trained loosely around the sprockets hang down into the pool as shown in FIG. 2 and carry two elongated drag bars 33 spanning the chains and spaced apart by half the length of the latter so as to move alternately into the pool adjacent the right end wall l8, then horizontally along the bottom 19 to pick up a quantity of settled-out solids, then up the incline 21 to carry the solids over the discharge lip 22, and then back across the top of the spool to the downward run of the chains.
  • a motor 34 (FIG. 1) drives the conveyor at slow speed through a reducer 35 and a belt drive 37 to the shaft 29, and a pivotally supported wiper 38 (FIG. 2) is positioned to clean each bar as it moves slowly over the receptacle 23.
  • the hydroclone 13 is mounted on the outside of the end wall 18 (FIG. 2) and also may be of known basic construction, the same general type of separator being shown in US. Pat. No. 3,235,090 to which reference is made for details of construction and operation.
  • an inlet section 13 defining a cylindrical portion of the treating chamber into which the dirty liquid is directed, tangent to the chamber wall and with a slight downward inclination.
  • an intermediate section 13 which defines the conical portion of the chamber and the discharge outlet of the chamber.
  • the pot section 13 At the lowerend is the pot section 13 from which the underflow is discharged.
  • the liquid swirls around the conical wall in moving toward the apex outlet, creating an inner vortex of clean liquid which flows out through a vortex finder leading to an outlet pipe 39 which dumps the liquid into the transfer'tank 15.
  • the specific design specifications including cone angle and length, outlet size and operating pressure of the hydroclone vary with the nature of the liquid being treated, and are within the capabilities of those skilled in the art.
  • the pump 14 withdraws dirty liquid from the tank 12 through an outlet opening 40 in the right end wall 18 near a lower corner thereof, and the pump output is fed to the hydroclone 13 through a pipe 41 leading to the upper section 13 and the tangential inlet therein.
  • This pump is of the centrifugal type and is driven by a motor 42 on a pedestal 43 extending above the pump.
  • the pressure used will vary with the type of liquid being cleaned, and also with the requirements of the particular hydroclone, which preferably is of a relatively low-pressure type with which a pressure head on the order of 20 feet is adequate, although the present invention is not limited to low-pressure hydroclones.
  • the total volume of liquid pumped to the hydroclone also is variable, depending upon the volume required by the using system, so different pumps are provided for different situations, and are selected to produce a hydroclone output at least as great as, and preferably somewhat greater than, the maximum requirements of the system when all machines are in operation and taking their maximum volume of coolant.
  • the dirty mixture of liquid and solid particles discharged from the underflow pot 13 herein is caught by a trough 44 on the end wall 18 of the tank 12 and returned to the tank through an opening 45 (FIG. 3).
  • a partition or baffle 47 is fitted into the tank, herein adjacent the left side wall 17 in FIG. 3, to form an auxiliary settling pool 20 along one side of the tank beneath the return opening 45.
  • This partition extends well above the liquid level 30 in the main pool and thus forms a dam confining both the liquid and the solids of the underflow momentarily in the auxiliary pool to insure that the bulk of the returned solids will be segregated from the returned liquid, by settling out, before the liquid flows back over the dam to the main pool.
  • a notch 48 in the upper edge portion of the partition forms a spillway for this liquid, the spillway being spaced from the return opening.
  • an open-ended, channel shaped baffle 49 surrounds the spillway notch and projects both above and below the level 30" of liquid in the auxiliary pool 20".
  • liquid must flow down to the level of the lower, inlet end 50 of the channel and then rise within the channel before spilling through the notch 48. This insures that no liquid can flow directly to the notch from the return opening, and also serves to skim any floating contamination off the liquid before it returns to the main pool.
  • the drag conveyor 24 includes an auxiliary portion 24 comprising an endless chain 51 trained around sprockets 52 and 53 on the shafts 28 and 29 above the auxiliary pool 20", this chain following a path identical to the path of the main chains and carrying two short drag bars which, in effect, are separated extensions of the bars 33.
  • the extension bars drag accumulated swarf from the auxiliary pool and dump this into the receptacle 23 for disposal. It will be evident that a second partition could be installed between the opening 54 and the pump inlet 40, if desired.
  • the dirty coolant from the using machines enters the tank 12 through another opening 54 in the end wall 18 near the liquid level 30 and close to the partition 47 to flow alongthe latter toward the opposite end of the tank. This minimizes the disturbance of the main pool and provides optimum settling while the liquid reverses its direction and flows back toward the outlet 40.
  • the inlet conduit is a generally horizontal U-shaped trough (see FIG. 1) opening into the opening 54.
  • An important aspect of the present invention is the handling of the excess output of the hydroclone 13 over the requirements of the using machines. Instead of returning this clean liquid to the settling pool 20,, the apparatus recycles it through the hydroclone with only that amount of dirty liquid from the tank 12 necessary to make up for what has been used, thereby avoiding stirring up of the settling pool by the excess clean liquid and recirculating the once-cleaned liquid for even more effective cleaning. In addition, by reducing the amount of dirty liquid that is fed into the pump 14, wear on the pump is kept to a minimum.
  • the transfer tank is provided with an outlet 55 at a preselected level 57 and the overflow from the tank at this level is returned through a pipe 58 to the inlet 59 of the hydroclone pump 14, herein through a compartment 60 defined along the end wall 18 by a baffle plate 61 extending upwardly from the bottom 19 to above the level 30 of the pool 20 and having side flanges 62 abutting against the end wall.
  • a baffle plate 61 extending upwardly from the bottom 19 to above the level 30 of the pool 20 and having side flanges 62 abutting against the end wall.
  • the overflow outlet 55 of the transfer tank 15 is simply the open upper end of the pipe 58 which herein extends vertically up through the bottom 63 of the transfer tank from the return compartment 60, and terminates well above the level of a transfer pump 64, herein a sealed centrifugal pump unit with its intake port adjacent the bottom of the tank and with the pipe 11 connected to its output port.
  • a transfer pump 64 herein a sealed centrifugal pump unit with its intake port adjacent the bottom of the tank and with the pipe 11 connected to its output port.
  • the transfer tank is a reservoir for clean liquid and is continually fed by the hydroclone while the transfer pump 64 feeds the using system, according to its needs.
  • the rate of flow through the overflow pipe 58 also will vary, from a low rate when the machines are operating at full capacity to a much higher rate when only a small portion of the hydroclone output is needed. Accordingly, the excess clean liquid is baffled against return to the settling pool 20, and the amount of dirty liquid drawn from the pool by the pump 14 increases and decreases as the overflow rate varies.
  • a hood 65 covers the top of the apparatus and encloses the transfer tank 15, the drag motor 34 and the upper end portion of the hydroclone 13 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the sidewalls 17 extend beyond the inclined wall 21 with the receptacle 23 fitted in notches in the walls to give a neat, attractive and integrated appearance to the apparatus.
  • the motor 34 driving the drag conveyor 24, and a flow of dirty liquid entering the tank 12 through the conduit 10 and the opening 54
  • dirty liquid is drawn into the pump 14 from the tank through the right portion (FIG. 3) of the opening 40 and the pump inlet 59, and is pumped through the pipe 41 to the upper section 13" of the hydroclone. Clean liquid flows out through the vortex finder pipe 39 to the transfer tank 15 and a concentrated mixture of dirty liquid and solids is discharged to the trough 44 from the underflow section 13 of the hydroclone.
  • the transfer pump 64 delivers a flow of clean liquid from the transfer tank 15 to the pipe 11 and thus to the using machines, from which the liquid returns, after use, through the conduit 10 to the settling pool 20, entering in a flow along the partition 47 directed away from the outlet 40 to the hydroclone pump.
  • the excess clean liquid from the hydroclone overflows through the pipe 58 to the return compartment 60 to be drawn into the pump 14 through the left section (FIG. 3) of the inlet 40, as an additional amount of dirty liquid, generally equal in volume to the volume used by the machines,. plus the volume discharged from the hydroclone as the underflow, is drawn from the settling pool 20 and mixed with the clean overflow for recycling through the hydroclone. Accordingly, the clean overflow does not stir up the settling pool, and the benefit of precleaning is retained to the fullest possible extent.
  • the concentrated underflow mixture collected by the trough 44 spills into the auxiliary pool 20 through the opening 45, and the bulk of the solids settle in this pool for removal by the chain 51 and drag bars 54.
  • the accompanying liquid is forced upwardly within the channel 49 to spill over the partition 47 at the notch 48 and return to the main pool 20. In this manner, the underflow is effectively handled by the settling tank and the drag conveyor without subjecting the pump 14 to exposure to the bulk of the solids discharged by the hydroclone.

  • said means for returning excess clean liquid comprise a return compartment defined in said drag tank, and an overflow pipe opening into said transfer tank at a preselected maximum level therein, said outlet opening communicating both with said settling pool and with said return compartment to feed dirty and clean liquid to said pump.
  • said compartment is defined by a baffle arranged along one wall of said drag tank and extending from the bottom thereof to above the level of liquid in said settling pool, said baffle having side portions abutting against said wall with one of said side portions overlying said outlet opening to divide the latter into first section communicating with said compartment and a second section communicating with said settling pool.
