  • PATENTEnJux 20 1912 3. 670,5 1 6 sum 1 or a /N I/E N 7095 PA UL R DURON By HARO 0 .R/CH
  • the invention relates to the production of high density carbon dioxide (CO ice, especially to production of the ice in small sticks or pellets for convenient and efficient flowhandling, ice packing for refrigerating food containers, etc., and general packaging and distribution.
  • a known method of making CO ice in moderate size pieces, as distinguished from block ice comprises feeding CO liquid to a cylinder where it is flashed to form CO snow. The snow is then compressed by a piston or ram into a disc-like dry ice cake against a releasing gate or the like at the compression end of the cylinder.
  • a practical disadvantage moreover, of most of the prior art ice machines is that the production process is cyclic, i.e. there is a periodic pause for recharging, etc., during which the output of the machine is either nil or greatly reduced.
  • the present invention is directed to overcoming the problems involved in the continuous production of high density CO ice pellets by extruding press equipment and thereby increasing the rate of pellet production.
  • CO- in liquid form is flashed by conventional snow-horn means or the like, into snow, and the snow is deposited in a rotary-type extruder that consists of a fixed ring die and a centrally pivoted carrier with coacting rotary extruder elements.
  • the extruder elements may take the form of either cylinder-like rolls or gear pinions that are caused suc cessively to traverse draw-hole openings around the inner periphery of the ring die.
  • the ring die constitutes an internal ring gear with draw holes in and between the teeth extending from the inner periphery radially through the ring.
  • the gear pinions are mounted at diametrically opposite positions on the carrier within the ring gear for continuous meshing therewith in planetary motion so that the draw holes around the ring periphery come into successive alignment with the rotating pinions.
  • the flashed snow as it collects in the extruding region of the ring die is entrained by the pinions, compressed between the meshing gear teeth and extruded through the draw holes as CO: or dry ice" pellets in a continuous extrusion process.
  • the ring die surface at the inner periphery is circular and includes openings for the radial draw holes.
  • a principal object of the invention therefore is to provide an improved extruding machine of the rotary type that is capable of quantity production of dry ice pellets in a continuous noncyclic operation.
  • Another and related object of the invention is to provide improved extruding apparatus having a ring die with internal planetary type rotating extruder elements, that is efficient and positive in its operation, readily adaptable for receiving the output of conventional CO, snow-making equipment for continuous production of dry ice pellets, and that is simple, rugged and inexpensive in construction and economical in operation.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view, mainly in section, of a rotary extruder embodying the invention for making CO ice pellets;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view, partly in section, of rotary extruding equipment shown generally in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is an elevational view, partly in section, of a modified form of the rotary extruder
  • FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the coacting extruder elements of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 4, illustrating a variation thereof.
  • the essential combination of the CO, ice pellet making machine of the invention consists of a suitable source of liquid CO generally indicated by a supply line manifold 10, a snow horn 12 or equivalent, within which liquid CO is flashed in conventional manner into snow, a rotary extruder with ring die at 14 for receiving the snow and converting it into high density ice pellets, the extruder having an exhaust chute 16 for directing the ice pellets into a container, storage bin or the like, a main drive shaft 18 for the rotating unit of the extruder, and an operating motor M connected through a suitable transmission system to the drive shaft.
  • a suitable source of liquid CO generally indicated by a supply line manifold 10, a snow horn 12 or equivalent, within which liquid CO is flashed in conventional manner into snow, a rotary extruder with ring die at 14 for receiving the snow and converting it into high density ice pellets, the extruder having an exhaust chute 16 for directing the ice pellets into a container, storage bin or the like, a main drive shaft
  • the pressurized liquid CO from the supply at 10 is continuously fed through conventional snow horn precooling coils 35 to the throat of the snow horn 12 that has a standard orifice-controlled discharge nozzle 22.
  • the liquid C0 is fed from the cooling coils to the discharge nozzle through a liquid receiving manifold 19, feed line 20 and noule coupling 21.
  • the CO liquid is for the most part flashed as indicated at 23 into snow, the remainder being cold CO gas.
  • a cylindrical metal housing 26 made of stainless steel for example, encloses the snow horn and forms a so-called snow chamber 28 for collecting both the snow and excess gas.
  • This housing has a cover 24 in which the coupling 21 is mounted for conveniently supporting the throat or inlet end of the horn 12.
  • the divergent or exhaust end of the horn is supported by peripherally spaced resilient struts 13 that are connected to the lower inner wall of the cylinder 26.
  • the cylindrical housing 26 itself is mounted above the extruder 14 that in turn, is supported by a centrally positioned tube-like bearing housing 27 for the drive shaft 18, and also at its outer periphery by the main base housing H as further described below.
  • the function of the snow chamber 28 also includes the collection of excess CO, gas apart from the snow, for removal by venting for precooling purposes.
  • the gas in chamber 28 (which is under positive gauge pressure in the normal operation of the snow horn) flows into a venting line 30 at the top of the chamber, and into a gas manifold 32. From the manifold the cold gas is suitably directed to heat-transfer coils 34 that encircle the cylinder 26 for cooling the snow chamber and for subcooling the incoming liquid, thereby improving subsequent flashing efiiciency of the snow horn. Afier passage through the cooling coils 34, the gas is vented at 36 to an exterior recovery line for ultimate recycling in known manner as liquid CO
  • the cylindrical housing for the snow chamber is provided with an outer insulating jacket or housing indicated at 38.
  • the extruder consists essentially of rotary extruder elements mounted on a central rotating carrier 40, FIG. 2, and a complementary fixed extruding die 44.
  • the die in the form of the invention shown by FIG. 1 constitutes an internal ring gear within which the carrier is concentrically pivoted.
  • the carrier is keyed at 42 to the drive shaft 18 for rotation therewith, and has mounted thereon at opposite ends two gear pinions 46 and 48 that have planetary motion within the ring gear.
  • the diametrically positioned pinions continually mesh with the internal teeth 50 of the ring gear as the carrier is rotated.
  • the ring gear in turn has at least two extruding die passages or draw-holes 52 and 54 per tooth pitch throughout the circumference of the ring die depending on the transverse width of the teeth and draw-hole diameters, i.e., there is a minimum of twice as many draw-holes as teeth in the extruding die.
  • the number of draw-holes can be increased according to the transverse length of the extruding teeth as shown in FIG. 3. Specifically the draw-holes extend along radial lines transversely through the ring of the die, a draw-hole 52 extending from the top of a respective tooth 50, and the adjacent draw'hole 54 extending from the foot line between the tooth and a following tooth, FIG. 2.
  • each such pair of draw-holes is within a span corresponding in length to a tooth pitch.
  • the entrance end of each draw-hole is counter-bored as shown at 52 for the draw-holes 52, and at 54 for the draw-holes 54.
  • the gear pinions 46 and 48 have the same tooth pitch as the ring gear, and are symmetrically positioned at opposite ends of the pivoted carrier 40 for continuous and precise meshing with the die teeth 50. Assuming clockwise rotation of the carrier as viewed in FIG. 2, the respective pinion teeth 56 and 58 engage the fixed die teeth 50 to cause counterclockwise rotation of the pinion gears.
  • the mating tolerance or limit of backlash of the engaging gear teeth is approximately 0.0l to 0.015 in. so that positive and continuous rolling contact is for practical purposes, established between the coacting gear teeth surfaces.
  • the collected CO tends to settle within the ring, FIG. I, where it is first entrained by the gear pinions as the rotating carrier sweeps the circular area.
  • the snow is tightly compressed as it is progressively forced into the respective valleys" between the pinion teeth and the die teeth.
  • the snow is further compressed into ice and finally forced into a respective draw-hole, as for example a draw-hole 52, during coincidence of the radial axis of the draw hole and the line of centers of the ring die and the corresponding pinion respectively.
  • the cylindrical extrusions consist of high-density CO ice that can readily be broken into short pellets for convenient handline.
  • the ice exhaust chute 16, FIG. 1 can be formed as an annular baffle plate that is inclined at a suitable angle with respect to the draw hole outlets for causing the extruded ice cylinders to break up into small lengths as they meet the baffle, as indicated at 60.
  • the draw holes were made for onefourth in. diameter pellets, and the ring die was sufficiently wide (transverse direction) for accommodating transverse rows of six draw-holes, FIGS. 1 and 3, thereby providing a total of 12 draw-holes per tooth pitch of the ring die.
  • the number of draw-holes for increasing the production of pellets can be increased by increasing the transverse dimensions of the ring die and pinion gears respectively; also, it will be apparent that the tooth height and the ratios of tooth pitch circumference indicated in the drawings are for purposes of illustration only. According to extrusion stresses, depending on rate of production and other mechanical factors, the gear teeth can be strengthened as required by increasing the tooth base width (and hence the tooth pitch) for a given tooth height, or, simply by reducing the tooth height.
  • the extruder 14 as described above, is suitably mounted in a generally vertical arrangement between the snow chamber 28 and the main base housing H.
  • the ring die 44 is bolted at 62 between an annular retaining ring 64 (on which is mounted the upper cylindrical housing 26 for the snow chamber) and a fixed die supporting plate 66.
  • This plate is in turn centrally positioned by and bolted at 68 to the upper part of the cylindrical bearing housing 27 for the drive shaft.
  • the housing 27 has secured thereto at its upper end an annular bearing support 70 to which the die plate 66 is bolted in centered relationship.
  • a main bearing 72 of standard type for the shaft journal is mounted within the support 70.
  • the carrier 40 consists of a central hub 74 (that is keyed as mentioned above to the upper end of the drive shaft at 42) and a pair of parallel spaced arms 76 and 78 that are integrally secured to the hub and extend equal distances therefrom for diametrically positioning the gear pinions 46 and 48 with respect to the ring die 44.
  • the corresponding ends of the arms at diametrically spaced points on the pinion carrier are provided with aligned holes at 80, 81 and at 82, 83, in which are mounted tightly fitted bushings 84 and 85 for positioning the pinions 46 and 48 respectively.
  • Suitable heavy duty bearings 86 and 88 respectively, FIG. 3, are positioned between the bushings and the bearing surfaces of the corresponding pinions.
  • the dry ice pellets are extruded at the ring die generally as described above, except that extrusion is achieved by relatively movable portions of substantially cylindrical surfaces, rather than by meshing gears.
  • the inner periphery of the ring die 44a has a generally circular or cylinder-like contour with closely spaced draw holes 45 throughout.
  • the hole openings each have a counter-sink 45a which overlap, so that the die entrance 50a has a hexagonal or honey-comb appearance as indicated in FIG. 5.
  • the coacting rotary extruder elements constitute cylinders or rolls 46a and 48a that can be mounted within the carrier 40 in the same manner as the pinions 46 and 48.
  • each roll has at its upper edge gear teeth 47 for meshing with aligned corresponding teeth 49 on thering die, thereby obtaining uniform rotation in relation to carrier rotation.
  • the coacting roll and die surfaces are preferably spaced for slight tolerance, rather than in metal-to-metal contact. The snow as it settles into the die is entrained by the advancing rolls, compressed, and forced into the draw holes for extrusion, generally as described above.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a rugged and simple form of roll-type extruder wherein the rolls 46b and 48b are idler-mounted on the carrier for free rotation with respect to the ring die 44b.
  • snow or ice may tend to accumulate or ball" on the upper side flat surfaces of the rolls or pinions near the periphery. This is readily prevented by extending at 90 the inner edge of the upper die retaining ring 64 in overhanging relation to the roll or pinion as indicated in FIGS. 1 and 3 for scraping clear such accumulations as the carrier rotates beneath. Also, the tendency of snow from the horn 12 to settle in the hub areas of the pinion carrier rather than outwardly toward the ring die can be at least partly offset by deflecting slightly the longitudinal axis or center line 12 of the horn with respect to the carrier axis of rotation 14.
  • a mechanical horn vibrator operable by the drive shaft may consist of a star-wheel, or as shown, a disc 92 having peripherally spaced pegs 94, secured to the end of the drive shaft.
  • a spring steel strip 96, FIG. 1, secured at 98 to the snow chamber housing 26 extends laterally over the pinion carrier so that the free end of the strip tends to position itself a short distance within the peg circle.
  • the spring strip has a transverse vertical extension 100 with a notched portion 102 at its upper end that is positioned next to the lower edge of the horn.
  • the snow from the symmetrically positioned horn is deflected and distributed generally in a radial direction toward the ring die by a cone 104 that is centered beneath the horn and seated on the carrier.
  • a leveler strip 106 is connected to the cylinder 26 at 107 so as to extend above and across the dished inner edge of the retaining ring 64, FIGS. 2 and 3, and the annular region at the die entrance. This region which is open (except for the carrier) therefore receives uniform snow feed as leveling proceeds.
  • the entire upper assembly unit including the horn and cylinder 26 can be vibrated by mounting an electric vibrator of conventional type on the side wall of housing 38 for example, as indicated at 105, FIGS. 1 and 4, thereby freeing the horn of sticking snow, as well as causing piled-up low mass snow at the bottom of the snow chamber to settle evenly around the base of the cone. This insures more uniform feed by the leveler 106 into the extruder.
  • the unit vibrator 105 may if desired also be used along with the horn vibrator arrangement of FIG. 1.
  • the motive means for rotating the drive shaft 18 is not limited to any specific arrangement.
  • an electric motor M vertically mounted at the base of the machine is connected through its shaft pulley 108 and belt-drive transmission 110 to a large diameter drive pulley 112 operatively connected to the lower end of the drive shah.
  • the hub 114 of the drive pulley has a free fit on a centering bushing 116 that in turn is keyed to the lower end of the drive shaft at 1 18.
  • the drive connection between the power pulley 112 and the drive shaft 18 (at the keyed bushing 116) includes a springloaded clutch 120 of conventional type having a clutch disc 122 splined to the bushing 116 for engagement with the mating clutch surface 123 of the pulley l 12.
  • the drive shaft has a second main bearing 124 that is suitably mounted within the cylindrical bearing housing 27 at its lower end.
  • the lower end of the drive shaft may be supported if desired by a vertical thrust bearing (not shown) suitably mounted in a structural steel base on which the main base enclosing housing H is fastened.
