  • Lid 4] is retained in place by a clamp 43.
  • Clamps 42 and 43 are supported by a bar 44 which is, in turn, mounted to the bottom portion of the burner to allow the entire mechanism to rotate together.
  • platform 10 may be tilted to a position of, for example, about 30 from the horizontal by an air cylinder coupled to platform 10 at 52.
  • Platform 10 is pivoted at 12 to permit the tilting of the platform via movement of air cylinder 50.
  • Ignition of burner 20 is provided by an ignition mech anism 60 which provides an electrode 62 which terminates at a point adjacent the outlet of the burner.
  • the burner is grounded to provide, together with electrode 62. the terminals of a spark gap through which a spark passes to ensure ignition of the gas.
  • the electrical connection of the ignition control 60 with electrode 62 is accomplished via a wiper ring 64 electrically isolated. but mechanically mounted to the burner which permits the electrode 62 to rotate with burner 20.
  • Compressed air for air cylinder tilting mechanism 50 is provided from a pressure regulated source adjusted to provide a sufficiently low pressure to permit a damped or gradual movement of the piston within the air cylinder.
  • Control of the air flow to the air cylinder tilting mechanism is provided by a solenoid valve 70.
  • control of the flow of air and gas to burner 20 is provided respectively by control devices 72 and 74.
  • Air control device 72 and gas control device 74 each have two separate solenoid valves 72a. 72b and 74a and 74b controlling parallel paths and which are separately controlled to permit a low or high rate of flow through the device depending upon whether only one or both of the solenoid valves are energized.
  • the temperature of the burner during either the low heat or fusion heat cycles is determined by the respective volumes of gas and air passed through the respective valves by varying either the pressures at gas pressure regulator 79 and air pressure regulator 78 or the needle valves (not shown) associated with the respective solenoid valves.

  • FIGS. 3 and 4. the apparatus is shown with platform positioned horizontally in FIG. 3 to place burner in a vertical position and in a tilted position in FIG. 4.
  • Initial rotation of burner 21) and crucible in the tilted position permits the fusible material therein to lap the wall of crucible 40 thus picking up or incorporating any powdered granular or globules of sample material which may stick to the sidewalls ofthc crucible.
  • the rotation of burner 20 can be accomplished in the vertical position as well as the tilted position and. furthermore. that the rotation may be maintained while imparting a rocking motion to burner 20 and platform It) by alternatively tilting platform It) to the tilted position shown in FIG.
  • the rotation and tilting provide a means for automatically mixing the fused materials as they are fused. This type of mixing, as discussed above. was previously accomplished manually. by removing a crucible. for example. from a furnace using tongs and then manually swirling the crucible. In accordance with the invention, however. it is possible to maintain this mixing and swirling during the actual application of heat. Thus, the fused material does not cool during the swirling action.
  • the heat optionally is shut off and the platform 10 is returned to a horizontal position.
  • a short additional heating period is available after swirling action has ceased to ensure that the melt settles in the bottom of the crucible to avert any solidification on the wall and to obtain the desired solidified bead.
  • the rotation of the crucible preferably continues until a predetermined position is reached.
  • both solenoid valves of air control device 72 are permitted to reopen to provide cooling air through burner 20 to crucible 40. This greatly assists in obtaining more rapid cooling of the sample to permit removal of the sample from the apparatus in a shorter period of time. thus allowing one to commence preparation of subsequent samples. Alternatively only one of the solenoid valves could be opened if desired.

  • the combined circuitry of FIGS. 5 and 6 as shown in FIG. 2 comprises an independent or master unit as will be described further below.
  • Power holding relay I02 includes an electrical holding circuit through terminals 102a in the drawing.
  • Heating relay 106 has a mechanical latch mechanism which is latched by energization of coil 106a and unlatched by coil 10611.
  • Latching of relay I06 provides energizing signals to gas solenoid valve 74a and air solenoid valve 720 causing the solenoid valves to open.
  • the ignition circuit is also completed and the low heat cycle therefore commences. In addition to the expulsion of low temperature volatiles. or occluded gases. this low heat capabil ity of the apparatus is of particular interest when a low heat roasting is desired, for example. when a sample is mixed with an oxidizing agent.
  • adjustable timer relay H0 is energized to control the time period for provision of low heat through burner to crucible 40.
  • the timer relay 110 and other such relays which will be referred to below each comprise an electronic timer which is energized and then, subsequent to the expiration ofa preselected time period, an associated relay coil is energized to move the relay contacts from their illustrated rest positions.

  • timer relay 114 After the expiration of the premix cycle the closing of relay contacts on timer relay 114 completes a circuit through timer relay 116 and terminals 214a and 2141) to tilting circuit [90 to energize a compressed air solenoid valve 70 allowing air to flow to air cylinder to tilt platform 10 to a tilted position.
  • the closing of the relay contacts on timer relay 114 commences the timing function oftimer relays 116 and 118 as well as energizing motor 30 to commence rotation of the crucible while platform 10 remains in the tilted position.
  • Timer 118 is a preset timer providing preliminary mixing for a predetermined period. In the preferred embodiment illustrated. rotation of the crucible for about 90 seconds while in a tilted position. as determined by timer relay 118, allows the fused material to lap the walls of the crucible to prevent adherence thereto of any particle which may not have been incorporated into the main mass.
  • relay 118 After the expiration of time on relay 118, its relay coil is energized to provide an interconnection via terminals 216a and 216/) to tilt circuit [90 allowing the signal previously transmitted to valve to be passed to microswitch 184 via line 182 to initiate the cyclic tilting.

While the contact with niicroswitch 184 is only momentary, the energization of relay 192 completes a holding circuit through the relay coil of relay 192 via the normally closed contacts of microswitch 180 and line 181.
  • heating may be continued if desired by activation of switch 150 to the position shown in the drawing to provide an additional 30 seconds of heating until timer times out energizing coil 106! to break the heating cycle by unlatching relay 106 and at the same time latching cooling relay 170 by cnergization of coil 170:1 and energizing a preset timer which provides a predetermined cooling period of ambient conditions of about three minutes Following expiration of this fixed time period, timer relay 132 is energized to control the amount of time that cooling air will be permitted to pass through the burner via activation of the valves of air control device 72.
