The forwardly curved vane provides abrasive particles with increased velocity or permits slower than conventional wheel rotation without a corresponding decrease in particle velocity.

2 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures PATENTED MAR 2 51975 sum 1 BF 2 CURVED VANE FOR THROWING WHEELS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Present methods of blast cleaning utilize a centrifugal throwing wheel for projecting abrasive particles. The wheel assembly is comprised of a runnerhead with blades or vanes attached, and an impeller case for feeding abrasive particles to the heel of the vane which propels and discharges the particles centrifugally in any desired direction. Even though the conventional wheel with radial or straight blades or vanes satisfies the needs commercially in blast cleaning, the excessive wear and noise of these wheels warrant a new profile of the vanes to give minimum wear and minimum noise while keeping the final abrasive velocity the same as with straight radial vanes.
US. Pat. No. 2,205,414 to Keefer discloses a throwing wheel having vanes with a curved surface which re sults in the elimination of an impeller and impeller cage for feeding abrasive particles to the vanes. The vanes described in this patent have the innermost extremity curved sharply back with respect to the direction of rotation and merging with a curved gathering surface or pocket which in turn merges with a substantially straight abrasive particle propelling surface.
Hcretofore, centrifugal throwing wheels in general use have not utilized a curved vane to significantly reduce the wear and the noise level of conventional throwing wheels.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an abrasive particle throwing wheel of the type having an axis of rotation includes a plurality of vanes extending generally perpendicular to one face of the wheel with their innermost ends spaced from the axis of rotation, an impeller cage on said wheel disposed between the innermost ends of said vanes, the improvement comprising curved vanes wherein the curve of each vane is such that the angle between a radius through the outermost edge and a tangent is from about to about the optimum angle being 31 and minutes.
Tests indicate that a conventional centrifugal wheel having radially extending vanes of 19 /2 inches diameter, and running at 2,250 rpm has a noise level of 91 decibels in A scale, measured at 3 feet from the wheel. It has been discovered that the substitution of curved vanes on a centrifugal wheel having a diameter of 22 inches but running at a reduced speed of 1,750 rpm results in a noise reduction of 6 decibels while the velocity and the amount of abrasive particles projected per period of time remains the same.
Furthermore, because of the uniquely curved vanes of the present invention, it has been found that the life of the blades are increased. Abrasive wear of the type encountered in a blast cleaning wheel occurs because of sliding or rolling contact of abrasive particles as well as impact of loose particles being batted by the vanes or blades. Tests for abrasive wear indicate that the kinetic energy related to the impact is the prime factor for this phenomena. The tangential velocity with which the vane hits or bats the abrasive particles is the major factor for wear evaluation. This has been proved by testing three different configurations of vanes that have the same abrasive flow and final abrasive velocity but have different tangential velocities. A backward curved vane having a tangential velocity of 1.29 times the velocity ofa radial bladed wheel wore an average of 1.69 times faster than a radial bladed wheel whereas the forward curve blade having a tangential velocity of 0.877 times that of the radial vane wore only an average of 0.73 times that of the radial vane. Since the impact energy imparted is /2 MV, where V, is the tangential velocity of any wheel and keeping the final velocity of the particle the same and hence the flow constant in all three cases the following conclusions are drawn:
If V,,- is the tangential velocity of the tip of a radial vane, V is the tangential velocity of the tip of a backward curved vane and V,, is the tangential velocity of the tip of a forward curved vane, all producing the same final abrasive velocity, the impact on the backward curve blade is (1.29) or 1.66 of a radial vane whereas the impact on the forward curve vane is (0.877) or 0.77 of a radial vane wheel. These values are at the tip of the vane; however, the wear relationship would be the same at any radial point along the face of the vane. The above theoretical values of 1.66 and 0.77 closely compare with experimental values of 1.69 and 0.73 regarding wear.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a fragmentary view of the face of a throwing wheel and shows one throwing vane which is forwardly curved in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view of the throwing wheel shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an end view of a curved vane as mounted on a throwing wheel taken on line 33 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a pictorial analysis of the velocity vectors and physical characteristics of the curved vane.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As illustrated in the drawings, a throwing wheel assembly, generally indicated by the numeral 10, includes a throwing wheel 12 mounted for rotation about an axis 14 and having a plurality of curved vanes 16 extending generally perpendicular to one face of the wheel. The vanes 16 extend generally radially from the axis ofrotation 14 and have an innermost end 18 spaced a given distance r (FIG. 4) from the axis of rotation 14 and an outermost end 20 spaced a given distance R (FIG. 4) from the axis of rotation 14. A conventional impeller cage (not shown) is disposed on the wheel 12 between the innermost ends of the vanes for feeding abrasive particles to the vanes through at least one feed slot in the cage. As illustrated in FIG. 4, a tangent T through the vane surface at the outermost tip defines an angle 0 about 25 to about 35 with respect to a radius R extending from the axis of rotation 14 through the outermost tip 20. Assuming that an abrasive particle starts from the center of rotation, the values for a radial velocity V, and a tangential velocity V, are found from the equations:
V,, V, cos 6 V, cos 6 with V, tangential velocity V, radial velocity V,, a component of V, V, cos 6 V absolute velocity of a thrown particle Solving the triangle ABC in FIG. 4 by the law of cosines:

d/d6 (l N2 cos 26/2 sin 26) 0 1/2 (2) sin 26+ 2 cos 26=O tan 26 2 26 63 degrees minutes 6 31 degrees 40 minutes For all practical purposes, the variation of (KW is found to be small between to For a conventional wheel, the radius r is generally less than 1/2 R and, preferably, r is less than about l/3 R. As indicated in FIG. 4, the curve of the vane 16 substantially describes an arc of a circle which passes through the innermost end 18 and outermost end 20 of the vane 16.
The radius through the innermost end 18 and the radius through the outermost end 20 of the vane 16 form an angle phi (1b) with respect to the axis of rotation 14 of the wheel 10. The are of the vane is described by a radius having an included angle theta (6) plus phi (4)) degrees.
Assuming the values of 6, r and R are known for a particular size of wheel which produces a required velocity of abrasive particles and using the following relations:
s R r (approximately) s/Z ((1) sin (6 dJ/2) (r s) sin 4) =d [l cos (6 (6)] Values of d and (I) can be found with trial and error.
For example, for one conventional size wheel having 1' 3 1/16 inches, R 11 inches and desiring 6 30, a preferred vane 16 will have d 10.47 inches and d) l5.88.
As shown in FIGS. l-3, the blades or vanes 16 are equally spaced around the wheel 12 and locked in place by providing an enlarged dove-tailed edge on a base member 30 on one side of the vane 16 snugly engaged within a corresponding dove-tailed slot 32 in the wheel 12.
To mount the vanes, the vane 16 is introduced at the wheel periphery into the slot 32 and moved therealong until the innermost end 18 of the vane approaches a center stud 34. At this point, a wedge type locking pin 36 is inserted into a bored hole in the wheel 12 after which the vane 16 is moved outwardly toward the wheel periphery so that the outer end of the bottom of the vane 16 rides over the pin 36. A locking ring 38 is then installed in place and forces the vane 16 against the locking pin 36 to form a tight fit.
A similar type of vane locking means is more particularly disclosed in FIGS. 23-30 of US. Pat. No. 3,241,266 granted to Joseph E. Bowling, Jr., on Mar. 22, 1966.
While the invention has been described herewith with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claimed subject matter.
