  • ABSTRACT The apparatus comprises a device for generating arotating magnetic field, small magnetic particles capable of being moved by the rotating magnetic field, and a surface or container to confine the moving particles to a predetermined area.
  • cleaning methods Prior to our invention, cleaning methods utilized cleaning baths agitated by mechanical or ultrasonic stirring devices, soaking in chemical solutions, vapor degreasing, and other less efficient or more hazardous methods. While all of these methods have some merit, each has one or more drawbacks. Solutions containing cleaning compositions are generally corrosive. Solvents used in vapor degreasing produce toxic vapors.

  • Simjian U.S. Pat. No. 2,735,232 wherein an alternating magnetic field is applied to magnetizable particles to magnetize them and cause them to move in small circular or spiral paths to polish objects placed in their such paths.
  • Simjian alleges he utilizes a rotating magnetic field his disclosure fails to teach the use of his device, as will hereinafter be shown. Rather, Simjians device generates a magnetic field which sets up a complex magnetic flux pattern causing the magnetizable particles to move as described above.'See also Hershler, U.S. Pat. No.
  • the invention cleans (to the same degree of cleanliness) in half the time required for such prior art devices, as will be shown, providing a considerable savings in time and expense. Additionally, the apparatus of the invention can clean to a degree of cleanliness heretofore unattainable by use of prior art devices and clean a number of articles in a single cleaning operation with an unusually high degree of cleaning uniformity from article to article.
  • the apparatus comprises a means for generating a rotating magnetic field, magnetic particles which are capable of being rotated by the magnetic field and a surface or container for confining the magnetic particles to a predetermined area or volume. It has been discovered that magnetic particles acted upon by a rotating magnetic field will rotate on their axes and the rotating particles will revolve in an orbital path about an axis established by the center of rotation of the rotating magnetic field, Such rotation and revolution produces aggressive movement of the particles, providing unexpectedly superior surface treatment of objects placed in their path.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention, with some parts being shown in section to facilitate understanding.
  • FIG. 2 is a vertical section view, taken at line 22 of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, but reduced in scale.
  • FIG. 3 is a graphic illustration depicting two-phase alternating current.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of a slotted annulus which may provide one component for the apparatus of the invention.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show a preferred wiring arrangement for the device depicted in FIG. 1 and its relationship to the annulus shown in FIG. 4, the annulus being shown in an expanded view revealing its entire inner edge.
  • the preferred device for generating a rotating magnetic field is characterized by having at least four overlapping coils or windings of insulated wire that are arranged in a generally circular pattern of opposed pairs and that are energized with two or more out-of-phase sources of alternating current, so that opposed coils are in phase but of opposite magnetic polarity.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 Such a device is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 wherein opposed coil pair 30a and 30b is arranged about a cylindrical container 32 and encircled by opposed coil pair 31a and 31b such that the abutting ends of the outermost coil pair 31a and 31b lie intermediate the ends of the inner coil pair 30a and 30b, producing an over lapping arrangement.
  • Coils 30a and 3012 are energized from the same alternating current supply in such a way as to provide opposite magnetic polarity in each.
  • coil pair 310 and 31b are operated from the same alternating current supply so that they, too, are of opposite polarity.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates two alternating currents I, and I whose amplitudes are the same but whose phase relationship is If current I I were used to energize coil pair 30a, and 30b, e.g., and current I used to energize coil pair 310 and 31b, a north and south pole would be produced opposite one another in the annulus defined by the coils, which poles would rotate as the current alternates. Hence a rotating magnetic field is produced.
  • the speed at which the magnetic field rotates depends upon the frequency of alternating current. For a typical 60 Hz power supply, 60 revolutions will be made in 1 second, or 3,600 revolutions in 1 minute.
  • the presently most preferred rotating field generating device has four or more coils, which may be wound on a slotted annulus 26 such as that shown in FIG. 4.
  • the wires forming each coil pass through slots 1-24 of annulus 26 and form overlapping coil groups A, B, C and D, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the annulus upon which the wires are wound may be formed of laminae of high permeability steel containing from 0.25 percent to about 3.50 percent silicon, individual laminae being generally from 0.005 to 0.100 inch thick.
  • the laminae may be coated with an insulating varnish to reduce eddy-current losses.
  • a simple embodiment of the rotating field generating device described above may be provided by the stator ofa conventional AC electric motor, with some modification thereof.
  • the rotating field generating device can be disposed within a cylindrical container and used to rotate magnetic particles about its exterior surface. Such a generating device would resemble the rotating part of two pole wound rotor-type electric motor.
  • a rotating field generating device for moving the magnetic particles on a flat surface may be prepared by formingcoil slots circumferentially about one end of a suitable cylinder, inserting the coils and energizingthe coils, thus producing arotating field adjacent the end. Magnetic particles on a flat or otherwise shaped surface adjacent the end will be revolved about the axis of rotation of such a device. It is also possible to generate a rotating magnetic field by mechanically revolving permanent magnets either around or within the container.
  • the apparatus utilizes magnetic particles, each of which is an individual permanent magnet and hence susceptible to the influence of an electro-magnetic field.
  • Such particles include gamma iron oxide (Fe o hard barium ferrite, (BaO 6Fe O particulate aluminum-nickel-cobalt alloys, or mixtures thereof.
  • Suitable magnetic particles have been found to have a magnetization (M) in excess of 10 gauss per gram, magnetization being a measure of the magnetic field intensity of the material from which the particles are prepared.
  • Hard BaO 6Fe O has a magnetization of about 70 gauss/gm.
  • gamma Fe O has a magnetization of about 50 gauss/gm.
  • suitable magnetic particles should have a magnetic coercivity (defined as the opposite sign field necessary to reduce the magnetization to zero) greater than the electro-magnetic field (H) applied to cause physical movement of the particle.
  • Electro-magnetic fields of about 100 to about 1000 oersteds and higher have been used to move the particles.
  • Hard BaO 6Fe 0; has a magnetic coercivity of about 3000 oersteds and gamma Fe O has a magnetic coercivity of about 300 oersteds.
  • Magnetic particles having a magnetic coercivity less than about 100 oersteds have been found not to be particularly suited for use in the invention be-- cause application of external electro-magnetic fields sufficiently strong to move the particles causes demagnetization.
  • the size of the magnetic particles will vary over a considerable range depending upon the particular use.
  • the particles may be between 0.01 -20 microns in diameter, or larger.
  • Other applications e.g., grinding, polishing, burnishing, ball-milling, etc., may utilize particles from 0.1 micron to 2 inches in diameter, or larger.
  • the magnetic particles may be advantageous to pro vide the magnetic particles with an inert coating to protect them from chemical attack by the media in which they are used.
  • the magnetic particles may be used in a gaseous atmosphere such as air or in a carrier liquid such as water, kerosene, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, benzene, toluene, perchloroethylene, etc.
  • a carrier liquid such as water, kerosene, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, benzene, toluene, perchloroethylene, etc.
  • the carrier liquid should be chosen so that it will not react with the magnetic particles or the articles being cleaned or polished.
  • the carrier liquid may contain additional components such as abrasive particles, bactericides, pH regulators, alkaline builders, buffing agents, softeners, surfactants,
  • the specific cleaner composition preferably utilized is one which would normally be used to clean the articles and which is compatible with the carrier liquid.
  • Oil-based cleaners are generally used with organic solvent carrier liquids, and surfactants are generally used with aqueous carrier liquids.
  • the pH of the carrier solution should not be excessively high or low because strongly acidic or strongly alkaline solutions may attack the particles or the articles being cleaned.
