Abstract
Description
しかしながら、特許文献3に記載の濾過装置は、支持板の浮きを効果的に防止する観点から、改善の余地があった。
前記缶体部内の貯留部に着脱可能に装着される濾過ユニットと、を有する金属溶湯濾過装置であって、
前記濾過ユニットは、支持板と、該支持板の厚み方向に沿って該支持板に固定された1本又は複数本の有底筒状の多孔質セラミックス製濾過チューブとを有し、
前記濾過ユニットは、該濾過ユニットが前記缶体部内に装着されたときに、前記濾過チューブの長手方向が前記缶体部の水平方向と交差し、且つ該濾過チューブの開口部が上方を向くように構成されており、
前記支持板を前記缶体部内に装着するための係止部が、該缶体部の壁面部から水平方向内方に向けて突出するように該缶体部の壁面部に設けられており、
前記係止部に係止した状態の前記支持板における、前記濾過チューブの固定位置よりも周縁部側の部分を、該支持板の上面側から下方に押圧するための押圧部材を設け、
前記係止部と前記押圧部材によって前記支持板を挟圧固定可能とした、金属溶湯濾過装置を提供するものである。
支持板42は、上記の嵌め込み可能な形状をしている場合に、前記の嵌め込み可能な形状を有している一方向とは異なる一方向から側面視したときに、開口部43側から底部41b側に向けて前記の水平方向幅が小さくなっていない形状を有していてもよい。そのような形状とは、支持板42を側面視したときの両側端縁部が、開口部43側から底部41b側に向けて(支持板42の板面に対して)鉛直状になっている等、平面視したときに支持板42の上面42bから外側に膨らんでいない形状が挙げられる。
なお、テーパや段差といった「嵌め込み可能な形状」の部分は支持板42の側面の一部のみに形成されていてもよい。例えば、支持板42が平面視略多角形の場合、全ての側面にテーパや段差が形成されている必要はなく、テーパや段差のない側面を有していてもよい。また一つの側面をみたときに該側面の全体にテーパや段差が形成されている必要はなく、下側の一部又は上側の一部など該側面の一部のみに形成されていてもよい。
図3及び図7に示すように、凹部39は、缶体部20の水平面に沿う面である下面39aを有しているところ、この下面39aは、濾過ユニット40の支持板42が係止部30に係止された状態における支持板42の上面42bより低い位置に設けられていることが好ましい。この理由としては凹部39の下面39aに溶融金属が付着することがあり、その場合に下面39aが支持板42の上面42bと面一となる位置にあると、上面42bより高い位置にアルミの凝固物が残留し、上述の係止機構が利かなくなる可能性があるからである。
図3、図7(a)及び(b)等に示す例では、凹部39は、水平面と略平行な下面39aと、水平方向外方に向かって下側に傾斜するテーパ面を有する上面39bとを有し、後述する楔体70が嵌入可能な形状を有している。凹部39は、壁面部22に2個以上設けられていることが後述する支持板42の浮きの防止の観点から好ましく、3個以上が最も好ましい。図4に示すように、本実施形態では凹部39は3個である。また少なくとも一つの凹部39が、缶体部20を平面視したときに入湯口5と出湯口6とが相対する方向と略直交する方向に向けて凹設されていることが同様の観点から好ましい。支持板42を平面視略多角形状に形成する場合、凹部39は、支持板42の多角形の角部に対向する位置に設けられていても良いが、角部と角部の間に対向する位置に設けられることが好ましく、角部と角部の間における辺の略中央部分に対向する位置に設けられていることがより好ましい。
上述したように、凹部39の下面39aは、係止部30に係止した支持板42の下方に位置している。このため、図3及び図7(c)に示すように、楔体70は凹部39に嵌入した状態において、その下面70aが、凹部39の下面39aと当接しない。これにより、下面39aに溶融金属が付着しても楔体70による支持板42の係止機構を有効に維持できる。
すなわち、濾過装置10は、濾過ユニット40に着脱可能に装着される加熱ユニット50を備え、加熱ユニット50は、支持体52と、該支持体52に固定された1本以上の加熱体51とを有し、加熱体51は、濾過チューブ41内に挿入可能に支持体52に固定されている。これにより、濾過チューブに挿入した加熱体により濾過チューブを内側から加熱できるので、加熱の効率がよく、濾過チューブを予熱するための時間を短縮できる。
支持体52は、缶開口部9に係合して該開口部9を閉塞し得る形状を有する第1の蓋体52を有する。第1の蓋体52には、1本以上の加熱体51が固定されている。本実施形態では、この第1の蓋体52と加熱体51とが、濾過ユニット40に着脱可能に装着される加熱ユニット50を構成している。支持体52が缶開口部9に係合することにより、濾過ユニット40に対して加熱ユニット50が固定される。本実施形態では、支持体52である第1の蓋体52により缶開口部9を閉塞したときに、加熱体51が濾過チューブ41に挿入されることにより、加熱ユニット50が濾過ユニット40に装着される。
まず、図12~17に基づいて、本発明の第2の実施形態である濾過装置110について説明する。
本実施形態では、押圧部材として、楔体70及び凹部39の代わりに、押圧部材として棒状材77と付勢部材75を用いている。
図22に示す例では、ファスナー部材(止め具63)は、壁面部22外面に周方向に沿って複数配置されている。ファスナー部材は、複数個、好ましくは3個以上が、該周方向において略均等な間隔で配置されていることが好ましい。
