17、p><p>　　Description:</p><p>　　This invention relates to the field of mixers and more particularly to the field of foundry sand mixers for mixing silica or green sand and their additives. </p>

18、<p>　　BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION </p><p>　　While the art of mixing foundry sand per se through a mechanical process is generally known, there are attendant problems in attempting to use the same equi

19、pment for mixing green sand and its additives as generally might be used in a mixer using silica sand and its additives. Because of the inherent differences in the materials to be mixed and passed through the machine, th

20、e practice has generally been to use separate machines for each of the different foundry sand materials and processes. </p><p>　　SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION </p><p>　　The embodiments of this improv

21、ement invention makes it possible to combine the necessary equipment into a single machine to mix either green sand or silica sand and their additives. </p><p>　　Various means have been attempted to mix gree

22、n sand which requires the addition of such other granular and dry ingredients as fire clay, bentonite, sea coal, pitch, wood flour and the like, along with an appropriate mixture of water. On the other hand, silica sand,

23、 which may also be known as a "no-bake" sand, is generally mixed with dry granular materials such as chromite and ferric oxide and several liquid ingredients which may include certain chemicals. Because certain

24、 green sand molds may be </p><p>　　Various means have been devised in the past to make a slurry of the additives and add them to the green sand but the mechanism does not prove to be useful in working with b

25、oth types of molding sand. One such mechanism is that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,070,858 issued to J. S. Beacon. </p><p>　　It is also known that certain silica sand or "no-bake" sand mixers have

26、been available but are not operable to run green sand through them and mix the green sand in the manner generally attributable to silica sand. One such disclosure of a mechanism of this type is found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,6

27、82,448 isued to Kedzior et al. </p><p>　　The present invention is an improvement upon the mechanism disclosed in my earlier U.S. Pat. No. 4,140,246 entitled PROPORTIONAL CONTROL SYSTEM FOR FOUNDRY SAND MIXIN

28、G DEVICE. </p><p>　　It is therefore a general object of the present invention to provide an improvement in foundry sand mixing equipment. </p><p>　　It is a more specific object of this invention

29、 to provide a foundry sand mixer that will mix either silica sand or foundry green sand and their additives. </p><p>　　It is yet another object of this invention to provide a foundry sand mixer in which eith

30、er silica sand or foundry green sand is controlled by a valve mechanism selectively depositing one or the other on a belt conveyor for proper mixing. </p><p>　　These and other objects and advantages of the i

31、nvention will more fully appear from the following description, made in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference characters refer to the same or similar parts throughout the several views, and in

32、 which: </p><p>　　FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention; </p><p>　　FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the mixer control circuit; </p><p>　　FIGS. 3A and 3B are schematic diagra

33、ms of the drive circuits for all of the variable speed motors driving feeders and pumps in the invention; </p><p>　　FIG. 4 is a diagram of the control panel on the end of the mixer; and </p><p>

34、　　FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the selective sand valve. </p><p>　　PREFERRED EMBODIMENT </p><p>　　Reference is now made to FIG. 1 wherein the foundry sand mixer 10 is disclosed. The mixer is

35、 secured to a base 11 that has a vertical axis about which a housing 12 pivots, housing 12 having a cantilever beam 13 extending radially therefrom. At the upstream end of the mechanism, a bracket 14 supports one end of

36、an enclosed conveyor mechanism 15 and the other end of conveyor mechanism 15 is supported by a chute 16 that acts as a support bracket that is indirectly secured to beam 13. </p><p>　　A belt conveyor 17 is d

37、isposed within the housing 15 and is supported for movement by a plurality of horizontal transversely oriented rollers 20. A direct current drive motor 21 is connected to the downstream end roller to drive the belt conve

38、yor mechanism 17. </p><p>　　Disposed above the enclosed conveyor 15 is a first feeder 22 which is elevated slightly above the conveyor enclosure 15. Feeder 22 is in the nature of a container having sloping s

39、ides converging at the bottom with an auger-type conveyor 23 driven by a variable speed motor 24. Feeder 22 has its sides extending upwardly at an angle of approximately 30 degrees with a vertical and it has been found t

40、hat if the sides extend outwardly so that the angle with the vertical is approximately 45 degrees, fl</p><p>　　Silica sand hopper 26 is disclosed as being generally rectangular in shape having a common side

41、32 which acts as a separator with another hopper 33 that is used to contain green sand. The sides of the hoppers slope downwardly in a converging manner and are terminated in a pair of chutes 34 and 35. </p><p

42、>　　A selective valve 36 is disposed across the openings of chutes 34 and 35 so that upon movement to the right (as seen in FIG. 1) sand will flow from hopper 26 through chute 34 into first feeder 22 but block flow of

43、sand through chute 35 and upon movement to the left, valve means will permit flow of green sand from hopper 33 through chute 35 but block the movement of silica sand. In other words, either silica sand or green sand is a

44、dmitted during the two extreme movements and while the valve is in</p><p>　　A solenoid actuated valve 41 is connected to a source of pressurized air 42 through a pneumatic line 43. The source of air under pr

45、essure is generally 100 psi for good operating conditions. </p><p>　　A pair of pneumatic lines 44 and 45 connect solenoid valve 41 with air cylinder 37 and the solenoid coils are controlled through an electr

46、ical circuit connected to the solenoid valve 41. A 110 volt source is connected through a common lead 46 to solenoid valve 41 and one coil has its return current path through a conductor 47 and one terminal of a single p

47、ole double throw switch 50. The switch blade is connected to the other terminal of the 110 volt source through a conductor 51. Another coil in</p><p>　　A second feeder 53 is disposed above the conveyor enclo

48、sure 15 downstream from first feeder 22. Second feeder 53 has the same general shape and configuration as that of first feeder 22 and includes a conveyor auger 54 driven by a variable speed motor 55 through a pair of spr

49、ockets 56 and 57 and a chain 58. Second feeder 53 has an opening in its bottom near the downstream end of auger conveyor 54 which is coupled to the housing 15 through a tubular member 60. </p><p>　　Disposed

50、above the auger conveyor 54 is a stirrer 61 that is in the form of shaft extending parallel to the shaft of the auger conveyor 54 and having a plurality of branches or arms extending therefrom, which when the assembly is

51、 turned tends to break up any bridges or lumping of materials such as bentonite or sea coal. A pair of sprockets and a chain drive stirrer 61 form the shaft of auger conveyor 54. </p><p>　　A third feeder 62

52、is disposed downstream from second feeder 53 and is generally identical for the most part to that of second feeder 53. Feeder 62 also contains an augur-type conveyor 63 driven by variable speed motor 64 with a tubular se

53、ction 65 connecting the opening in the bottom of the feeder through an opening in the top of conveyor housing 15. </p><p>　　Disposed at the bottom of the housing or compartment 12 is a pair of liquid contain

54、ers 70 and 71 which may contain chemicals or may contain water, depending upon the type of additive to be made to the particular sand which is being mixed. Container 70 is connected to a pump 72 through a pipe 73 communi

55、cating with container 70 and an outlet line 74 is connected to pump 72. In a similar manner, a pump 75 is connected to fluid in container 71 through a pipe 76 and the outlet of pump 75 is dispensed</p><p>　　

56、The variable speed motors described are conventional variable speed direct current motors and are generally 3/4 H.P. in size. Air cylinder 37 is approximately one and one-half inches in diameter and has a six inch stroke

57、 and is manufactured by Lynair under Model No. AB102-6 whereas the solenoid valve 14 is of the type manufactured by Novi, Model 25C4E. </p><p>　　A cylindrical mixer 90 is secured to beam 13 by suitable means

58、 and has a plurality of paddles 91 carried by a shaft 92 that does the actual mixing. Shaft 92 is connected to a constant speed motor 93 by suitable means such as a coupling or clutch. Chute 16 receives materials from co

59、nveyor 17 through an opening formed in the downstream end beyond the end of conveyor 17. The lower end of chute 16 opens into a segment of mixer 90 at the upstream side thereof. Fluid-carrying pipes 74 and 77 are also &l

60、t;/p><p>　　In FIG. 2, the mixer motor drive circuit is disclosed in which a three phase 220 volt power line applies power through lines L1, L2 and L3 to mixer motor 93 through three relay contacts, all designat

61、ed mixer starter contacts M1. The 220 volt line is connected to a transformer TR1 where a voltage reduction takes place in the secondary and 110 volt single phase alternating current is obtained and is applied to one lin

62、e as a common or neutral line 100. A mixer motor relay M1 has its coil connected </p><p>　　Electrical line 101 is extended in a parallel path through another set of relay contacts M1 which are closed upon de

63、pressing start switch 103 and upon depressing another normally open pushbutton switch 104 current is applied to a pump motor start relay CR1 that is also connected to neutral line 100. Upon pulling the switch button for

64、switch 104, the circuit is opened. In parallel with switch 104 and control relay CR1 is another normally open double pole pushbutton switch identified as a SAND A</p><p>　　At the bottom of the circuit is s

65、hown the sand selector switch 50 that is connected to the solenoid coil of solenoid valve 41, causing the valve to be actuated and apply fluid under pressure to the cylinder to cause the movement of valve 36. </p>

66、<p>　　Turning now to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the electrical schematic of the variable speed drive motors will now be described. Alternating current of 230 volts single phase is applied through a switch 106 to each of the

67、different mechanisms that may be in addition to the belt conveyor, feeders or pumps. A discussion of a portion of the circuit will be germain to the remainder where the various circuits and variable speed drive mechanism

68、s are substantially identical to each other. Power is applied to channel</p><p>　　Another circuit board 110 is connected in a similar manner to motor 24 except that the fixed resistor connected between termi

69、nals 1 and 8 is changed and in its place, a 1,000 ohm variable resistor 111 is substituted in its place so that the speed relationship of motor 24 may be varied independently of the operation of motor 21. Thus the feed a

70、uger conveyor 23 may be operated at different speeds by comparison to the speed of motor 21. </p><p>　　It will of course be evident that the other circuit boards 110 are similar to that described previously,

71、 along with the attendant speed sensors through the use of the toothed wheel 107 and magnetic sensor 108. It will also be understood that motors 80 and 81 could be replaced by motors 55 or 64, depending upon whether a dr

72、y additive was to be used or a chemical. Therefore, the drive motors have been identified in an alternate manner in FIGS. 3A and 3B. It is also desirable in some instances to h</p><p>　　It will also be desir

73、able on certain occasions to change the speed of all of the mechanisms without losing the speed relationship established through the use of the speed adjust potentiometers such as 111 and 112. Therefore, a speed control

74、arm 114 is secured to another 1,000 ohm speed control potentiometer 115 that is connected to an oscillator circuit 116 that is shown in a simplified form and identified further as part No. RC271-357 manufactured by Detec

75、tion Sciences, Inc. at 2165 Cheshire La</p><p>　　It must be noted that it is not possible to simply interchange the silica sand and green sand in hoppers 26 and 33 because the green sand, as stated previousl

76、y, quite often is mixed with the materials which were formed into a mold and broken into parts and dumped back in the hopper. Because the silica sand flows much like water, weir 15 is needed to make an even layer or spre

78、urther in the bottom of the first feeder 22, it has been found that a successful operation will take place in dispensing the green sand into the enclosed conveyor 15. It will, of course, be understood that various change

79、s may be made in the form, details, arrangement and proportions of the parts without departing from the scope of the invention which consists of the matter shown and described herein and set forth in the a</p><
