SHEET 3 OF 3 ATT RNEYS,
METALLURGICAL FURNACE WITH CARTRIDGE CLAY GUN MEANS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to clay or mud guns particularly a adapted for plugging the tap holes of metallurgical furnaces.
It is well known to employ clay or mud guns for plugging tap holes in metallurgical furnaces to arrest the flow of molten metal or slag therefrom. These guns are generally provided with cylinders having a piston therein for forcing clay through a nozzle into the hole against the hot flowing metal which bakes the clay, thereby forming a solid plug in the fumace wall. The clay gun is generally swung from a crane or other suitable means for positioning the gun in the tap hole when in use and for moving it out of the way when not in use to permit other operations in connection with the furnace. The clay gun is commonly charged with bulk clay inserted in an opening in the top of the cylinder and the opening can be closed by a hinged closure plate. Known clay guns were designed to handle the relatively wet, plastic, readily extrudable materials previously used. They possess certain disadvantages when used with todays clay materials which have a dryer, stiffer consistency requiring greater force to discharge the clay material through the nozzle. Also, the clay tends to bake in the gun requiring frequent and laborious cleaning operations. Sometimes, portions of the clay material leak past the piston into the piston drive mechanism causing considerable strain and wear on such drive mechanism thereby reducing the useful life of the gun.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved clay gun and a clay containing cartridge arrangement obviating the above-noted disadvantages.
It is another object of this invention to provide a gun with a cylinder of a construction facilitating the loading of cartridges therein, and also facilitating cleaning of the gun.
In one aspect thereof, a clay gun of the present invention is characterized by the provision of a gun barrel or cylinder comprised of a pair of complementary half sections, one of which is pivotable for opening and closing the cylinder. A clay containing cartridge is fed into the opened cylinder and is coaxially aligned with the cylinder piston so that in operation with the cylinder closed, the piston extrudes the clay from the cartridge without contacting the cylinder wall. After use, the spent cartridge is removed leaving the cylinder free of any baked, accumulated clay therein.
The foregoing and other objects, advantages and characterizing features of the present invention will become clearly apparent from the ensuing detailed description of an illustrative embodiment thereof, taken together with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters denote like parts throughout the various views.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now in detail to the drawings, there is shown in FIG. 1 a clay gun, generally designated 10 and constructed in accordance with this invention, mounted on a carrier 12 for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis by trunnion l4. Carrier 12 is rotatably mounted on a carriage 16 for rotation in a generally horizontal plane about a generally vertical shaft 18 (FIG. 3). Carriage 16 is provided with rollers 20 at the upper end thereof which ride on guide tracks 22 suspended from structural beams 23 by means of girders 24. Thus, gun 10 can be moved along tracks 22 between an operative position of use as shown in full lines in FIG. 1 and a remote out of the way position at a loading station as shown in phantom in FIG. 1.
A tapered nozzle 54 is secured, by any suitable means, to the forward end of cylinder 30. The bore of nozzle 54 is provided with an abutment shoulder 56 for a reason which will become apparent. The rearward end of cylinder 30 terminates in an annular flange 58 secured to the forward end of a housing 60 by suitable fasteners 62.
A significant feature of the present invention is the utilization of clay materials confined in cartridges, generally designated 70, which are individually fed into cylinder 30 at a loading station 72. Cartridge 70 comprises a hollow cylindrical container body 74 having an outside diameter of slightly less than the inside diameter of cylinder 30 to facilitate gravity feed of the cartridge into the gun barrel. Container body 74 is closed at its forward end by an end wall 76 having an outturned, curved peripheral flange rolled into sealing relation with an annular head 78 forming a continuation of container body 74 and disposed at the forward end thereof. The other end of container body 74 is closed by a cup-shaped piston plug 80 having a circular end wall 82 and a hollow cylindrical side wall 84. The outside diameter of side wall 84 is of a dimension to snugly fit within container body 74 in sealing engagement therewith while the inside diameter of side wall 84 is slightly larger than the outside diameter of piston 64 to accommodate the same therein.
Means are provided at loading station 72 for feeding successive cartridges 70 individually into cylinder 60. As shown in FIG. 4, such means comprise a magazine having a pair of laterally spaced, inclined guide rails 86 for supporting cartridges 70 in a stacked relation. A pair of spaced stop mechanisms, generally designated 88, are disposed on rail 86 for restraining the two lowermost cartridges 70 and are operable to independently release the same as hereinafter described. The other stored cartridges 70 merely rest against the adjacent lower cartridge and are gravity fed along rails 86. Each rail 86 is provided with a lip 87 at its lower end adapted to engage and overlie the beveled edge 51 of section 34 when gun 10 is disposed at the loading station 72.
Each stop mechanism 88 comprises a latch member 90 having an arcuate depression 92 generally conforming to the peripheral shape of cartridge and pivotally mounted on rail 86 by means of a pivot shaft 94. An actuating lever 96 having a cam surface 98 engageable with the underside of latch is rigidly secured to a rotatable shaft 100 for swinging movement into and out of a latch engaging position. A gear segment 102 is mounted on shaft 100 and is engageable with a drive gear 104 mounted on shaft 106 journalled for rotation in a bracket 108 depending from rail 86. Shafts 106 are rotated by suitable drive means such as electric motors (not shown) connected to a control console 110 by means of lines 112. Each stop mechanism is provided with three control buttons 114, 116 and 118 for selectively releasing the associated latch, holding it in the released position, and for activating the associated latch into closed, latched position, respectively.
As schematically shown in FIG. 2, console 110 is connected to gun 10 by means of a control cable 115, 117 and junction 119 and also includes actuating buttons 120, 122, 124, and 126 for operating motors 68, 128, 130 and 132 for controlling movement of piston 64, the angular adjustment of gun 10 about trunnion 14, the swiveling movement of carrier 12 relative to carriage 16, and the movement of carriage 16 on tracks 22, respectively. Motors 128, 130 and 132 are schematically shown in FIG. 1. Since the specific motors and gearing arrangements for effecting the above movements can be conventional, and per se form no part of this invention, no further amplification or description thereof is believed necessary.
In the operation of the present invention, a cartridge 70 is fed into the open cylinder 30 of gun 10 at loading station 72 by depressing button 114 for rotating the right, lower actuating lever 96 (FIG. 4) in a clockwise direction allowing latch 90 to be released by the weight of the lowermost cartridge 70. After the lowermost cartridge 70 is released, lever 96 is actuated by depressing button 118 to move latch 90 into its original restraining position. The left end stop mechanism 88 is then actuated to release its cartridge 70 onto the lower stop mechanism in readiness for a subsequent loading operation and receives another cartridge 70 from the stacked supply. An attendant located at the loading station, checks to insure that cartridge 70 is properly positioned within section 34 with bead 78 against abutment shoulder 56 and then closes section 32 about the cartridge and secures sections 32 and 34 together by means of bolts 50. To facilitate the discharge of the clay material through end wall 76, the attendant can cut a cross slit in end wall 76 as shown at 77 in FIG. 8 prior to releasing the lowermost latch 90. Alternatively, the slits 77 can be cut into end wall 76 prior to loading cartridges 70 on rails 86. Carriage 16 is then moved along tracks 22 from loading station 72 toward opening 25 in furnace 26. Gun 10 is then manipulated about shaft 18 and trunnion 14 to insert nozzle 54 into opening 25.
Actuating button is then depressed to energize motor 68 and the drive mechanism in housing 60 to impart movement to piston 64. As shown in FIG. 7, piston 64 engages plug 80 and drives the same toward nozzle 54 to force the clay material through cartridge 70. The pressure exerted by the clay material ruptures end wall 76 (FIG. 7) portions of which are urged against the inner wall of nozzle 54. Container body 74 of cartridge 70 fits closely within the gun barrel and is restrained against rupture by the thick wall of cylinder 30 and thereby kept intact. The clay material issuing from nozzle 54 into opening 25 engages the hot flowing metal and is baked thereby to form a solid plug in the furnace wall for arresting the flow of the molten metal. It should be understood that tracks 22 can be arranged about furnace 26 in such a manner that a plurality of tapped openings in furnace 26 can be successively plugged by gun 10, as required.
After the plugging operation, gun 10 is moved along tracks 22 to the unloading position shown in phantom in FIG. 1 and at the left end in FIG. 2. Bolts 50 are removed and section 32 is swung to the open position for removing the spent cartridge 70 and cleaning gun 10. By utilizing pre-packaged cartridges, the barrel or cylinder 30 of gun 10 is kept clean and it is only necessary to clean nozzle 54 and remove any residual baked clay clinging to the inner surface thereof. Also, access to the inner bore of nozzle 54 can be made through the opening in cylinder 30 provided by hinged section 32, thereby facilitating the cleaning operation.
After gun 10 is cleaned, it is swung about vertical shaft 18 to the loading position shown in full lines in FIG. 2 whereby the loading operations can be repeated. It should be appreciated that cartridges 70 are bulky and difficult to handle manually. By way of illustration, a typical cartridge encloses a space of approximately 9 cubic feed and the preferred clay material weighs approximately 200 lb. per cubic feet thereby causing the loaded cartridge to weigh approximately 1,800 lb. This specific weight and volume is illustrative only and various sized cartridges having difierent densities can be utilized, as desired, dependent on the particular application. Of course, the size of cylinder 30 and piston 64 would vary accordingly. Cartridges 70 are delivered to guide rails 86 by any suitable loading mechanism.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that the objects of the present invention have been fully accomplished. As a result of this invention, an improved clay gun utilizing clay containing cartridges is provided for plugging tapped openings in furnace walls in an improved and more efiicient manner. By utilizing cartridges, the loading and cleaning of the clay gun can be quickly and efficiently performed. Also, the clay material can be prepared at an off-site location to obtain a uniform and better consistency and the cartridge provides an accurately measured quantity of clay. By the provision of a piston type plug seal in the cartridge, leakage of clay material into the cylinder and past the cylinder piston is precluded thereby avoiding damage to the drive mechanism for the piston.
A preferred embodiment of this invention having been disclosed in detail, it is to be understood that this has been done by way of illustration only.
