Definitions
- This invention relates to apparatus for effecting removal of contaminants from the surface of continuous elongate products such as wire.
- EP-A-0 050 036 discloses apparatus for effecting removal of contaminants from the surface of continuous elongate products in which there is provided a first liquid treatment zone, an intermediate zone arranged to receive elongate product from the first liquid treatment zone and a second treatment zone arranged to receive the elongate product from the intermediate zone.
- means are provided to induce a vibrating motion in the elongate product in the intermediate zone of sufficient amplitude as to effect detachment of any liquid adhering to the elongate product from the elongate product prior to transfer of the elongate product to the second treatment zone.
- Figure 1 is a partly sectioned side elevation of the apparatus for effecting removal of contaminants from wire
- Figure 2 shows a portion of Figure 1 to an enlarged scale and in greater detail
- Figure 3 shows a portion of Figure 2 to an enlarged scale and in greater detail
- Figure 4 shows another portion of Figure 2 to an enlarged scale and in greater detail
- Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line V - V of Figure 4.
- the apparatus includes a first treatment zone 2 having a first cleaning head 4 mounted on top of a first tank or reservoir 6 for a first treatment liquid 8; a first intermediate zone formed in a first closed duct 10 draining to the first tank or reservoir 6; a second treatment zone 12 having a second cleaning head 14 mounted on top of a second tank or reservoir 16 for a second treatment liquid 18 and positioned in a second closed duct 20 draining to the second tank or reservoir 16; the first cleaning head 4, the first closed duct 10, the second cleaning head 14 and the second closed duct 20 being axially aligned.
- a further treatment zone or zones may be arranged downstream of the second closed duct 20 and may include apparatus in which further processes or treatments are applied to cleaned wire discharged from the second closed duct 20.
- the first and second cleaning heads 4 and 14 include respective blocks 22, 24 provided with axial through bores. Mounted at each end of each block 22, 24 are annular cross-section liquid jet nozzles 26 arranged to direct continuous streams of liquid in an inward direction.
- each nozzle 26 includes a sleeve 28 formed with two pairs of four, equi-angularly spaced, passages 30 extending through the sleeve 28 at an acute angle toward each other in the respective one of the pair and directed inwardly of the cleaning head 4 or 14.
- the sleeve 28 is positioned in a bore 36 in a boss 38 formed with a pair of circumferential grooves 40 registering with the passages 30 and each connected through a passageway 42 to a convergent insert 44 in an inlet port 46 connected to a supply line 48.
- each hydro-converter assembly 50 includes a case 52 formed with a bore 54 provided with end rings or walls 56.
- a tangential inlet 58 is provided centrally of the case 52 registering with a convergent insert 60 connected to the supply line 48.
- the first and second closed ducts 10 and 20 are approximately 300 millimetres in length.
- the downstream end of the second closed duct 20 is provided with a simple bushing (not shown) .
- an air jet nozzle 64 of the general form of the hereinbefore described liquid jet nozzles 26 but arranged to be connected to an air supply source may be provided at the downstream end of the second closed duct 20.
- a wire 62 In operation, a wire 62, the surface of which is required to be cleaned, is threaded through a capstan pulley drive (not shown) at delivery and exit ends, through the first and second cleaning heads 4 and 14 and through the first and second closed ducts 10 and 20. Pumps (not shown) are then energised to supply the first and second treatment liquids 8, 18 through the respective supply lines 48 to the first and second cleaning heads 4 and 14. Treatment liquid discharged through the tangential inlet 58 of the hydro-converter assembly 50 moves in a cyclonic manner to discharge axially through the end rings 56 and generates a vibrating motion in the wire 62, with the wire moving around a circular envelope arising from the vibration, whilst at the same time scouring the wire.
- the liquid jet nozzles 26 are also supplied with treatment liquid from the supply line 48 and discharge the treatment liquid substantially axially along the wire 62 in a direction toward the centre of the respective cleaning head 4, 14, thereby limiting leakage of the treatment liquid from the ends of the cleaning heads.
- any treatment liquid so carried over is removed from the wire 62 in the first and second closed ducts 10 and 20 by virtue of the vibratory motion induced in the wire by the hydro-convertor assemblies 50 being permitted to persist in the wire passing through the closed ducts and thereby shaking any treatment liquid from the wire.
- Liquid shaken from the wire 62 drains back along the respective closed duct to the associated first and second cleaning heads 4, 14 and the first and second ducts discharge to the associated tanks or reservoirs 6, 16, so that a substantially enclosed assembly results.
- a baffle 66 is provided in the second closed duct 20, adjacent the exit, to restrict dispersion of vapour in the closed duct into the air flow arising from the air jet nozzle.
- vibratory motion in the wire 62 passing through the closed ducts 10, 20 may be induced or enhanced by mechanical or electro-mechanical means independent of any vibratory motion arising in the cleaning heads 4, 14 and also that treatment baths may be substituted for the cleaning heads with carry-over liquid from a bath being shaken from the wire by inducing a vibratory motion in the wire following exit from the bath.
