Definitions
- FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of a portion of a container, hub and platen of an extrusion press incorporating a container cooling system of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an outside view of the cooling systems for the containers of the press shown in FIG. 1.
- the portions of the elements shown are part of an horizontal extrusion press adapted to extrude hot solid billets into rods and shaped extruded products.
- the construction of the press follows well-known designs having three equally spaced apart tension columns, one being shown at 10, that extend between the cylinder crosshead of the press, not shown, and the stationary platen, the inner face of which is shown at 12.
- a die assembly while not being shown, is arranged on the center extrusion axis of the press, which axis is legend in FIG. 2, against which a container in the extrusion station of the press is brought into a sealing relationship by heavy duty piston cylinder assemblies, the outer end of one of which is shown in FIG. 1 at 14 where it is connected to a crosshead 16 by nuts 18.
- a hub 20 Concentric with the tension column 10 there is mounted a hub 20, which is so mounted as to both rotate and move axially of the tension column 10 by virtue of bearings 22 carried by an intermediately supported sleeve 24 arranged around the column 10.
- the hub 20 has a central portion 26 to which are rigidly secured at radial outward and equally spaced locations three billet containers, one being shown in phantom at 28 in FIG. 1 and all three at 28, 30 and 32 in FIG. 2.
- the container 28 is shown in an extrusion station, the container 30 in a container cooling station, and the container 32 in a billet loading station.
- Each container in the usual fashion, will have a central opening into which is mounted a replaceable liner, not shown. It is desired in order to prolong their usefulness to cool these liners after they have been used to carry and support a heated billet during the extrusion.
- the hub 20 at its end opposite the crosshead 16 is provided with a rotating driving means generally designated at 34 which can take several well-known forms such as a gear-motor driven unit.
- the hub 20 at its right side is extended axially by a portion 36.
- This portion is provided with six sets of horizontal passageways 38, two sets being related to each container, one set serving as coolant inlets to the containers, and the other set as coolant outlets from the containers.
- the inlets are designated by 40 and the outlets at 42.
- the jacket 44 is held against rotation by being connected to the crosshead 16 by a series of bolts 50, the bolts passing into a non-rotating ring 52 which is engaged by opposed wearing rings 54. It will be appreciated that while held against rotational movement, the jacket will move axially relative to the column 10. Additional seals 56 are provided between the outer surface of the portion 36 of the hub and the horizontal inner surface of the cooling jacket 44.
- the inlet opening 46 and return opening 48 communicate with passageways 58 and 60, respectively, which by virtue of short passageways 62 and 64 allow the coolant, such as water, to run into the passageway 38, and hence, to and from the containers 28, 30 and 32.
- thisdrawing shows a portion of the three containers, in which it will be further appreciated that the container 30 is in the cooling station of the press.
- the inlets 40 formed in the portion 36 of the hub 20 are each connected to separate valves 66 by hoses 68.
- These valves are of a well-known quick-opening, self-closing type, the discharge ends of which are connected to their respective containers by hoses 70.
- the fitting 72 associated with the container ends of the hoses 70 communicate with passageways formed in the containers that allow the coolant to be delivered to the liners of the containers when the containers are in the cooling station.
- a projecting stem 78 of the valve portion of the valve 66 is brought into a vertical downward extending position with the outer end of the stem 78 being located adjacent to a plunger block 80 connected to the rod end of a stationary mounted piston cylinder assembly 82, the arrangement being such that on operation of the piston cylinder assembly 82, the valve 66, normally forced closed by a spring, will be opened to allow the pressurized fluid to pass to the container 30.
- the hub 20 is shown in outline form at 84 which is the position the illustrated elements assume when the hub is being moved axially, the particular axial position of the container during this movement being legended in FIG. 1 as container rotating position.
- the piston cylinder we consider to represent the best embodiment thereof.
- said second systems each including coolant flow control means
- said first system includes a coolant jacket arranged concentric with said hub in a coolant sealing fashion
- each of said second systems include delivery and return hoses for connecting said second systems to said first systems assembly 82 offers no interference to the rotation of and wherein said flow control means comprises valve the hub, and hence, the containers since as shown in FIG. 2, the cylinder assembly 82 is located at this time to one side of the hub.
- the operation of the piston cylinder assembly 82 may means arranged in said delivery hoses.
- valve means is characterized as being self-closing and wherein said valve operating means includes a reciprocating means arranged to open a valve of a container when in said cooling station.
- said reciprocating means comprises a piston cylinder assembly and wherein said valve means includes projecting stems be controlled by a heat sensitive device, such as a radiawhich are engageable by said piston cylinder assembly tion pyrometer 84, shown schematically in FIG. 2, which will be trained to measure the temperature of the liner and initiate the opening of the valve 66 if the temperature level of the liner so requires it and maintain the valve opened until the desired cooling of the container liner is accomplished.
- a heat sensitive device such as a radiawhich are engageable by said piston cylinder assembly tion pyrometer 84, shown schematically in FIG. 2, which will be trained to measure the temperature of the liner and initiate the opening of the valve 66 if the temperature level of the liner so requires it and maintain the valve opened until the desired cooling of the container liner is accomplished.
- each container is given individual coolant treatment, in which the size of the passageways in the hub and jacket and the size of the hoses, as well as the quantity of the coolant needed, are kept to a very minimum.
