OWENS ATTORNEYS M,WJWMWM BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of Invention The present invention relates to improvements in methods and apparatus for filling tires with liquid. The present invention is particularly directed to an improved method and device for continuously mixing water with a chemical adapted to lower the freezing point of the water and injecting the resultant solution into tires.
2. Description of the Prior Art It is well known to fill pneumatic tires of tractors or any earth moving equipment with water. The addition of water to pneumatic tires adds weight at the most effective point to increase traction. Furthermore, the added weight serves to lower the center of gravity of the equipment thereby increasing stability.
In climates where there is a danger that the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, it is necessary to add chemicals to the water to lower the freezing point of the water. Typical anti-freeze materials, such as alcohols and ethylene glycol suffer from several disadvantages. Such materials are expensive and tend to deleteriously affect tires. Often tires which have been filled with liquid containing alcohol or ethylene glycol are extremely difficult to remove from the rim.
For these reasons, it has become common practice to fill tires with a solution of water and calcium chloride. Before such solutions can be used, it is necessary to dissolve solid calcium chloride in water.
Typical techniques for filling tires with water-calcium chloride solution involve merely mixing, using an. impellor type mixer, water and calcium chloride, in a vessel such as a 50 gallon drum, and pumping the mixture into the tires. Since the tires on typical earth moving equipment have a capacity of 560 gallons or more, it is readily apparent that such a technique is extremely time consuming.
It is obviously desirable to transport heavy equipment to the site of use with air in the tires. For this reason, it is often necessary to fill tires at remote locations, such as construction sites or strip mines. It is apparent therefore, that it is desirable that tire filling devices be portable. It is equally apparent that the use of very large capacity mixing vessels is not practical because such vessels are not sufficiently portable.
Other techniques have been developed which also suffer from severe shortcomings. The calcium chloride-water solution is very corrosive. This has lead to the development of apparatus in which it is not necessary to transmit the water-calcium chloride solution through a pump. Such apparatus involves the use thereof of a pressure tank in which the water and calcium chloride are mixed and into which air can be injected to force the solution from the pressure tank into a tire. Such a device as shown in US. Pat. No. 3,043,348 to Wellsch. Such devices have not gained wide spread acceptance for filling tires of large earth moving equipment. By their very nature, such devices can only be operated on a batch basis. After one batch has been injected into a tire, the tank must be opened, and additional water and calcium chloride added. before a second batch can be injected into a tire. It is generally not practical to make such devices both portable and of sufficient capacity so that one batch is adequate to fill even one tire on a piece of heavy earth moving equipment.
Another problem with many of the prior art devices for filling tires with liquid is they do not provide for accurate control of the water-calcium chloride ratio. If the water-calcium chloride ratio is properly controlled, the freezing point of the solution can be regulated down to very low temperatures such as -24 F. However, if too little calcium chloride is introduced into solution the freezing point would not be adequately lowered. On the other hand, if too much calcium chloride is put into solution, the water-calcium chloride solution will freeze at relatively high temperatures, even as high as 70 F.
SUMMARY or INVENTION The present invention is directed to an apparatus adapted for filling tires with liquid comprising a vessel having a liquid inlet means adapted to continuously introduce liquid into the vessel, liquid outlet means adapted to continuously remove liquid from the vessel, and conduit means adapted to transmit liquid from the outlet means to a tire. The liquid inlet means is disposed in proximity to the top of the vessel while the liquid outlet means is disposed in proximity to the bottom of the vessel. The vessel contains a mesh hopper disposed within the vessel under the liquid inlet means. The mesh hopper is readily pervious to liquid but capable of retaining solid particulate material. The mesh hopper is further adapted to receive particulate material while liquid is being introduced through the liquid inlet means.
The present invention is also directed to a process of filling tires with a solution of calcium chloride and water which comprises continuously injecting water into a container containing particulate calcium chloride, collecting the solution resulting from the dissolution of particulate calcium chloride in water, mixing the solution, periodically adding additional particulate calcium chloride to the container without ceasing to inject water into the container, and injecting the solution into a tire. The container which contains particulate calcium chloride is readily pervious to water but capable of retaining particulate calcium chloride.

FIG. 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of a tire showing a valve adapted for filling tires with liquid.
Similar reference numerals indicate corresponding parts through the several views shown in the drawings.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring specifically to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1-3, the apparatus of the present invention comprises a vessel 6 adapted to contain a liquid such as water, as designated by numeral 32. Vessel 6 is preferably a substantially cylindrically horizontally disposed tank which may be adapted to be mounted on a truck or trailer (not shown in the drawing), to render the tire filling apparatus readily portable.
Liquid inlet means 7 is disposed in proximity to the top, and preferably in proximity to one end, of vessel 6. The liquid inlet means is preferably operatively connected to liquid metering means 8. Such devices are well known to the art and are capable of measuring the amounts of liquids introduced through the liquid inlet means. The liquid inlet means preferably con tain a plurality of liquid passages 9, through which liquid may pass into the vessel 6.
Disposed beneath the liquid inlet means is a mesh hopper 10 adapted to retain particulate material, such as calcium chloride as designated by numeral 33. Mesh hopper 10 is open at the top, as shown at 11. Particulate material may be introduced into mesh hopper 10 through opening 11 at the same time that the liquid is being introduced into vessel 6 through liquid inlet means 7. Mesh hopper 10 preferably has a solid bottom 12.
Liquid outlet means 13 is disposed in proximity to the bottom of vessel 6. Preferably, the liquid outlet means is located in proximity to the opposite end of vessel 6 from liquid inlet means 7. Liquid outlet means 13 is connected by conduit means 14 to a tire. As may be seen from. the drawings, conduit means 14 may comprise a plurality of sections. Conduit means 14 contains a pump 19 operatively connected to a motor 27,
and may contain a valve 28 adapted to regulate flow. Conduit means 14 may also contain an outlet 29 regulated by a valve 30 through which vessel 6 may be drained.
Preferably, the conduit means contains a manifold 16 having a plurality of outlets 17, each of which is connected to a gate valve 18. Through such an arrangement, it is possible to fill a plurality of tires simultaneously. A pressure gauge 31 is operatively connected to manifold 16, so that flow of liquid to tires can be terminated when the desired pressure level in the tires is reached.
Vessel 6 contains means adapted to inject air into the vessel thereby agitating liquid in the vessel. The air injection means comprises a conduit 34 extending into vessel 6 and disposed near the bottom of the vessel. Conduit 34 contains a plurality of outlets 35 and a valve 36 adapted to regulate the flow of air into the vessel. The air injection means is connected to a source of compressed air, not shown in the drawing.
FIG. 4 shows a tire 15 mounted on a rim 37 and connected to conduit means 14 through valve 24. As may be seen from FIG. 4 the valve assembly 24 is especially adapted for filling tires with liquid and provides for the entry of liquid through passage 25 and the exit of air through passage 26. Valve assemblies especially adapted for filling tires with liquid are well known in the art. Valve assembly 24 may include a safety device, such as a pop off" valve (not shown in the drawing) to insure that the pressure in the tire does not exceed a predetermined value. As is obvious, if pressure in a tire gets too high there is a danger of bursting the tire. Such safety devices are also well known in the art.
Because of the extremely corrosive nature of calcium chloride-water solutions it is essential that pump 19, as well as all parts of the tire filling device which come in contact with the solution, be constructed of corrosion resistant material. Suitable materials include high grade stainless steel and other corrosion resistant alloys. Conduit sections 14 may also be constructed of corrosion resistant synthetic rubber, etc.
In operation, water is continuously injected through liquid inlet means 7 into mesh hopper l and thus into vessel 6. Mesh hopper contains particulate calcium chloride 33; the mesh hopper retains the particulate calcium chloride, but allows the water to pass readily. The readily soluble calcium chloride is dissolved in water and the resultant solution is collected in vessel 6. As calcium chloride is dissolved, additional calcium chloride may be added to mesh hopper 10 through openings 11 without interrupting the flow of water through liquid inlet means 7.
Air is injected into vessel 6 through conduit 34 and outlets 35. The air serves to agitate the liquid in the vessel, insuring that the calcium chloride-water solution is thoroughly mixed.
The water-calcium chloride solution leaves vessel 6 through liquid outlet means 13, and by means of pump 19, passes through the conduit means to one or more tires. As may be seen, the device may be operated continuously until the desired number of tires are filled.
The water-calcium chloride ratio employed depends on the grade or degree of purity of the calcium chloride (the higher the purity, the less required). Typically, a ratio of 80-100 pounds of calcium chloride to 25 gallons of water is employed. Such a ratio yields a solution freezing at about -24 F. By regulating the amount of water introduced into vessel 1, and regulating the amount of calcium chloride introduced into mesh hopper 10, it is possible to accurately control the calcium chloride water ratio.
