5 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures US. Patent Nov. 25, 1975 CHAIN GUIDE FOR USE IN A HEAT TREATING OVEN OR THE LIKE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE BACKGROUND or THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention pertains to an improved chain guide for use in a high temperature environment such as a heat treating oven, and a method of manufacture of the chain guide.
2. Description of the PriorArt For many years work pieces have been moved in heat treating furnaces by a chain drive which, in many cases, has been mounted in the furnace floor and which carries a driving member, such as a pusher rod, which extends above the level of the furnace floor and contacts the work piece container, such as a basket, for moving the container internally of the furnace. Furnace floors are frequently of a refractory material which is brittle in nature, and which would tend to fragment upon constant wear due to contact with a moving chain. This would not only require replacement of the refractory material but would also cause accelerated chain wear due to the refractory particles becoming lodged between the moving parts of the chain. Hence, a chain guide would ordinarily be placed in the oven floor substantially enclosing the chain except for a longitudinal slot through which the driving member extended. conventionally, the chain guide has been a cast unitary tubular member of oblong cross section with a narrow longitudinal slot formed in the upper surface thereof through which the driving member extended. These chain guides required relatively frequent replacement due to distortion and/or breakage of the guide. The teaching of this invention recognizes the cause of such distortion and breakage and provides an improved structure made in an improved manner.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention recognizes that a major cause of the previous frequent distortion and breakage of the chain guides was due to the pores, voids, and lack of homoge neity in the cast material, such as cast iron. The distortion and breakage resulted from the very hostile environment of a furnace, the extreme temperature cycling in such a furnace, and the constant abrasion and wear of the chain on the chain guide as well as the shock imparted by virtue of the driving member driving the work piece container.
In the improved structure of this invention, a base plate of nonporous material with a longitudinal dimension corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of the furnace through which the work container is moved and having a lateral dimension corresponding to the chain width, is attached to two guide walls of nonporous homogeneous material having similar longitudinal dimensions and having a height corresponding to the chain height, with each guide wall having an integral flange overlying the base plate. The longitudinal edges of the flanges are separated a predetermined distance to form a guide slot through which the driving member, which is attached to the driving chain, extends. By making the flanges integral with their respective guide walls, assembly operations are simplified and minimized since welding of a flange to a guide wall is made pairs.
This invention further teaches the asembly of a chain A guide by fabrication techniques, as opposed to the conventional casting techniques, whereby a nonporous homogeneousmaterial such as stainless steel may be utilized as the chain guide material greatly'increasing chain guide life.
In the improved method of this invention, the chain guide is fabricated from three stainless steel pieces to form a semi-enclosed housing for the chain which is nonporous, homogeneous, and has a relatively long service life.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide, in an oven environment for heat treating metal articles, a chain guide which houses and encloses a chain for supplying a driving force to a pusher member or the like to move a work piece container in the oven, which guide has a relatively long life and requires less frequent repair and replacement, decreasing down time of the oven and minimizing repair costs.
Another object of this invention is to provide such a chain guide made of an unporous material that has a longitudinal base plate with longitudinal guide walls attached, as by welding, to either side of the base plate, with each guide wall being formed to have a portion upstanding from the base plate and having an integral flange overlying the base plate, with the longitudinal edges of the flanges being laterally spaced a predetermined amount to provide a guide slot for the driving member.
It is a further object of this invention to provide'a method of manufacture for a chain guide which comprises the steps of forming a longitudinal base plate, forming a guide wall of unporous material with an integral flange, fixing, as by welding, a guide wall to each longitudinal edge of the base plate so that each flange overlies the base plate and the longitudinal edges of the flanges are spaced apart a predetermined distance from.
one another to form a guide slot.
The above-mentioned and other features and objects of this invention and the manner of attaining them will become more apparent and the invention itself will be best understood by reference to the following description of an embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a broken away view in perspective of a heat treating oven having a chain guide of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a side view of a chain guide of this invention;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the embodiment of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is an end view.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In FIG. 1 is shown an oven 20 having an oven floor 22 with an elongated trough 24 formed therein and an oven door 26 at one end in longitudinal alignment with trough 24. A work carrier 28, such as a basket, is shown positioned in oven 20 and normally contains articles for heat treatment in oven 20. The heating means for oven 20 is not shown but may be any of those well known to 3 the art.
In trough 24 is chain guide 30 which houses and encloses chain 32 which carries driving member 34 in fixed relation to a link thereof so that as the chain is moved, as by sprockets 35, driving member 34 is caused to move longitudinally along guide 30 and when in contact with basket 28 will move basket 28 towards door 26. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the basket 28, at the beginning of the heat treating process, is placed in door 26 and then is pushed, with a rod or other member, to the desired position in furnace 20. After the heat treating operation has been completed, the chain motor is energized moving chain 32 and pusher member 34 towards door 26 positioning carrier 28 to be removed from the furnace 20.
The method of fabricating guide 30 comprises the steps of forming base plate 36 to the desired longitudinal and lateral dimensions; forming guide walls 48, 50
and bending these walls along a longitudinal line, as by forging, rolling, swaging or other comparable metal forming operations, to form flanges 52, 54, respectively; and attaching guide walls 48, 50, to base plate 36, as by welding, along longitudinal edges 44, 46, respectively. This method of fabrication is to be contrasted with the conventional unitary casting process which has been practiced for many years. The method of this invention has a combination of steps which provide for the use of a nonporous, homogeneous material which has greatly increased life over the prior art chain guides.
This invention recognizes the cause for the relatively frequent failures of prior art cast iron devices and provides for a method of manufacture and an apparatus which overcomes the causes of these failures. Further, due to forming of the orthogonal flanges from the guide walls and the exterior welding of the guide walls to the base plate, the amount of weld material interiorly of the guide is minimized thereby making possible a substantially enclosed structure. Cleaning of weld material from a substantially enclosed structure is a difficult, often prohibitive, process.
While there have been described above the principles of this invention in connection with specific apparatus, it is to be clearly understood that this description is made only by way of example and not as a limitation to the scope of the invention.
