9 Claims.
This invention relates to washing machines of the type adapted for industrial usage, forinstance, in washing small castings or metal parts, to clean them of dirt, oil and grease or chips.
The invention is directed particularly to a washing machine of the type embodying a tumbler drum which rotates about a substantially horizontal axis. The washing operation is conducted in one portion of the drum, for instance in an alkaline solution, while in another portion of it the parts are rinsed and permitted to drain. The principal object of the present invention is to provide a simple means for effecting conveyance of the parts from the washing zone to the draining zone of the drum while preventing access of the main bulk of washing solution into the latter part of the apparatus. It is intended that the parts to be cleaned be conveyed-automatically through the machine so that manual handling of the pieces between the washing and rinsing operations be unnecessary.
In substance, therefore, the main object of the invention is to provide a tumbling drum equipped or constructed to transport parts from the washing zone to the rinsing zone but confine the detergent liquid in the washing area and prevent it from contaminating the parts being rinsed.
Briefly, the improvement which provides these functions is comprised of a spiral vane extending inwardly from the interior periphery of. the
tumbler, preferably at substantially right angles to it and intermediate the washing zone and the rinsing zone. This vane extends through one or more convolutions; 111' most instances substantially one and one-half convolutions are adequate. The vane is disposed spirally to advance from the first zone to the second as the drum or tumbler is rotated and constitutes a screw conveyor. Parts which are caught in this conveyor are urged progressively by it and thus advanced from the washing zone to the draining zone.
For the purpose of preventing the passage of detergent solution along with the conveyance of parts, a baffle or dam is installed across the conveyor passageway. This dam extends inwardly fromthe interior surface of the drum between two adjacent'portions of the spiral vane, preferably at some point inwardly .of its forward terminus. This arrangement enables the forepart of the screw to collect a part within the conveyor, then cause it to move over the dam as the tumbler rotates.
As the dam is moved, through rotation of the drum, to a level above that of the detergent solution, the liquid is held back in the first zone of the tumbler and therefore prevented from gaining access to the second zone.
The highest point of the dam is located preferably at a point somewhat below that of the vane. This arrangement is employed so that the parts are kept within the conveyor way when they drop over the dam at the time the dam reaches an elevated position.
While the dam may be an ordinary baffle plate, better still, it may be of levee formation, that is, a member extending chordally across the periphery of the drum and curved inwardly so as to facilitate the travel of the parts across it. The curvature avoids the formation of pockets within which detergent otherwise might be collected at the one side of the dam and discharged to the other side of the dam as it is elevated in its course of travel.
A preferred embodiment of the improvement is shown in the accompanying drawings. From the foregoing description of the principles upon which the invention is based and the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art readily will comprehend the various modified forms in which the invention may be utilized.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a cross sectional elevation through a drum or tumbler provided with a dam in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 2--2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the dam and conveyor.
Figure 5 is a cross sectional view similar to Figure 1, illustrating a modification of the spiral screw in the washing chamber.
Figure 6 is a cross sectional view taken on line 6--6 of Figure 5, further illustrating the modificaabout its axis.
the zone in which the parts are rinsed and permitted to drain. For the purpose of permitting the solution to escape the parts being cleansed, the shell member may be comprised of a metal screen, perforated sheet metal, or otherwise provided with drain apertures.
A spiral conveyor 8, similar to the conveyor 5, is installed within the rinsing chamber likewise, for the purpose of advancing the parts through it. Thus, the course of travel of the articles is indicated by the arrow shown on Figure 1. A spray pipe 9 may extend within the rinsing chamber for providing a spray of rinsing solution or rinse water over the parts from which the worst of the dirt has been removed in the preceding section.
Intermediate the washing zone and the rinsing zone, the spiral conveyor and dam assembly of the present invention is installed. This is comprised of the conveyor section III which conveniently may be carried within the shell I as a continuation of the conveyor 5. The width of inner edge extends substantially above the liquid level maintained within the drum.
The dam member I! extends across adjacent portions of the vane ill, for instance, in a direction substantially parallel with the axis of rotation of the drum, or, in other words, lateral to thesurfaces of the vane. In the preferred embodiment, the dam is a plate extending chordally across the interior periphery of the drum with the edges of the plate being fastened as at l3l3, to the drum, and to the vane as at lll4, for instance, by welding. Plate I2 is curved inwardly toward the axis of the drum and, in respect to the parts or articles being cleaned, constitutes an up and down ramp over which the parts may travel.
The dam l2 preferably is spaced intermediate the terminals of the spiral section III, and it is recommended that-the leading edge I 3 of the and advanced, by the conveyor 5, through the cleansing solution, emerging at the end of the washing chamber in position to be collected within the conveyor ID, as the leading edge of the conveyor moves by. Caught in this conveyor section, the parts are advanced toward the dam and elevated by it as the drum rotates. At some point during the course of revolution, the parts slide over the dam, as illustrated by the dotted lines shown in Figure 3, but substantially all of the cleansing solution has by this time been held back in the main washing chamber by the dam since it extends across the passageway to obstruct the flow of cleaning solution. At the other side of this obstruction, the parts pass through the conveyor l0 and are advanced through the rinsing and draining chamber by the conveyor 8.
The conveyors 5 and 8 are desirable to use in tumblers which rotate at a substantially horizontal axis. If the axis of rotation is inclined, the parts advance by gravity and these conveyor sections are therefore unnecessary. The structure of the conveyor and dam operates with or without the use of them.
In Figures 5 and 6, a modified spiral conveyor [5 is utilized in the wash chamber. The spiral is made preferably from a strip of metal which is generally cycloidal in cross section. The strip is secured to the wall of the drum to provide a long spiral of steep pitch over the length of the wash chamber. The rounded face of the strip is presented to the inside of the chamber. This type of spiral may be utilized for work which requires a comparatively long soaking wash. As the drum rotates, the work is tumbled over the spiral, being urged gradually with each revolution of the drum toward the dam l2.
