Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Beschicken von Gießmaschinen mit Nichteisenmetallschmelzen, nach dem Schmelze aus einer eine Gasatmosphäre aufweisenden Entnahmekammer eines Schmelzenofens chargenweise der Befüllöffnung einer Gießmaschine zugefördert wird, sowie auf eine Vorrichtung zum Durchführen dieses Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for loading of casting machines with non-ferrous metal melts, according to the Melt from a removal chamber having a gas atmosphere of a melting furnace in batches of the filling opening is fed to a casting machine, and on a device to perform this procedure.

Bisher wird zum chargenweisen Beschicken von Gießmaschinen Schmelze aus einem Schmelzenofen mittels Gas-Druckförderung (EP-A-0 252 318) oder mit Hilfe von Kolbenpumpen bzw. Schneckenpumpen (DE-B- 1 134 183) durch über die Abdeckung des Schmelzenofens hinausführende Pumpenteile ausgetragen, womit lange Förderwege samt den Schwierigkeiten einer unerwünschten vorzeitigen Schlackenbildung und Erstarrung in Kauf zu nehmen und aufwendige Warmhalte- und Fördereinrichtungen erforderlich sind. Die Schmelzenbeschickung vor allem bei leicht oxydierbaren Nichteisenmetallen ist damit sehr bedienungs- und wartungsintensiv, beeinträchtigt die Maschinenverfügbarkeit und es kommt auch nur zu einer geringen Dosiergenauigkeit.So far, it has been used for batch feeding of casting machines Melt from a smelting furnace by means of gas pressure delivery (EP-A-0 252 318) or with the aid of piston pumps or screw pumps (DE-B-1 134 183) by covering the cover of the Pump parts leading out of the melting furnace are discharged, with what long funding routes including the difficulties of an undesirable accept premature slag formation and solidification and complex warming and conveying devices required are. The melt feed especially for easily oxidizable Non-ferrous metals is very easy to use and maintenance-intensive, affects machine availability and there is only a low dosing accuracy.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs geschilderten Art anzugeben, das eine rationelle Schmelzenbeschickung mit hoher Dosiergenauigkeit und -konstanz erlaubt. Außerdem soll eine vergleichsweise aufwandsarme Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens geschaffen werden. The invention is therefore based on the object of a method of the type described at the beginning, which is a rational Melt loading with high dosing accuracy and consistency allowed. In addition, a device that is comparatively inexpensive should be used be created to carry out the process.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß die Schmelze innerhalb der Entnahmekammer dosiert hochgepumpt und über ein durch die Ofenwandung hindurchführendes Auslaufrohr zur Befüllöffnung abfließen gelassen wird, wobei zur Unterstützung des Schmelzenflusses eine impulsartige Gasbeaufschlagung der Entnahmekammer erfolgt. Damit ist der Schmelzenfließweg zumindest teilweise in den Ofenraum der Entnahmekammer integriert und der Schmelzenaustrag erfolgt auf vergleichsweise kurzem Wege durch einfaches Abfließen entlang dem Auslaufrohr, so daß aufwandsarme Pumpeinrichtungen und Heizeinrichtungen für einen einwandfreien Schmelzenaustrag genügen. Dabei wird durch die Impulsbegasung der Entnahmekammer die Dosiergenauigkeit im gewünschten Sinne verbessert, da die Gasimpulse das vollständige und klar begrenzte Auslaufen der Schmelze durch das Auslaufrohr sichern und zusätzlich auch bei Verwendung von Schutzgas im Auslaufbereich eine Schutzatmosphäre für die Schmelze ergeben können. Durch die Impulsbegasung der Entnahmekammer wird die Ausströmgeschwindigkeit des Gases durch das Auslaufrohr erhöht und es entsteht für den Schmelzenfluß ein austreibender Gaskolben. Dieser verhindert, daß nach dem Pumpenstopp beim dosierten Austragen der Schmelze die wandnahen Grenzschichten der auslaufenden Schmelze innerhalb des Auslaufrohres hinter den wandferneren Schmelzenpartikeln zurückbleiben, wodurch das endgültige Leerlaufen länger dauern würde und mit einem Nachtropfen verbunden wäre. Durch die Erhöhung der Gasgeschwindigkeit innerhalb des Auslaufrohres können hingegen die wandnahen Schichten der Auslaufschmelzen beschleunigt und damit der Dosiervorgang schneller zum Abschluß gebracht werden, es kommt zu keinem Nachtropfen und die Dosiergenauigkeit wird gesteigert. Trotz der einfachen Schmelzenaustragsmaßnahmen ist daher ein störunanfälliges und exakt dosierbares Fördern der Schmelze sichergestellt. The invention solves this problem in that the melt within the removal chamber is pumped up and metered over outlet pipe leading through the furnace wall to the filling opening is drained, in support of the melt flow a pulsed gas application of the Removal chamber takes place. This is the melt flow path at least partially integrated in the furnace chamber of the extraction chamber and the melt is discharged to comparatively short distances by simply draining along the outlet pipe, so that low-cost pumping devices and heating devices are sufficient for a perfect melt discharge. Doing so due to the impulse gassing of the removal chamber the dosing accuracy improved in the desired sense, since the gas impulses that complete and clearly limited leakage of the melt through secure the outlet pipe and also when in use of protective gas in the outlet area a protective atmosphere for the Melt can result. Through the gassing of the sampling chamber is the outflow velocity of the gas the outlet pipe increases and it arises for the melt flow an expelling gas piston. This prevents that after the Pump stop when dispensing the melt near the wall Boundary layers of the emerging melt within the Outlet pipe remain behind the melt particles away from the wall, making the final idle take longer and would be associated with dripping. Through the Increase in the gas velocity within the outlet pipe on the other hand, the layers of the outlet melts close to the wall accelerated and thus the dosing process faster at the end brought, there is no dripping and the dosing accuracy is increased. Despite the simple Melt discharge measures are therefore prone to failure and precisely metered conveying of the melt ensured.

Die Entnahmekammer ließe sich bei Aluminium od. dgl. sogar mit Luft od. dgl. beaufschlagen, doch wird die Entnahmekammer mit sauerstofffreiem Schutzgas, vorzugsweise einem Gemisch aus Stickstoff oder Argon und Schwefelhexafluorid, beaufschlagt, können Schmelzoxydationen auch im Austragsbereich und bei heiklen Metallen, wie Magnesium od. dgl., sicher unterbunden werden. Da es sich beim dosierten Schmelzenaustrag um einen turbulenten Schmelzenstrom handelt, der nicht den gesamten Auslaufrohrquerschnitt erfaßt, und die Schmelzenoberfläche dauernd aufgerissen und neu gebildet wird, kann sich nicht wie bei üblichen Schmelzenbädern eine abdichtende Schutzschicht bilden, so daß auf eine sauerstofffreie Schutzgasatmosphäre besonders zu achten ist und übliche Schutzgaszusammensetzungen, die aus Gasgemischen mit Luft und Kohlendioxid od. dgl. bestehen, ungeeignet sind.The removal chamber could even be used for aluminum or the like with air or the like, but the removal chamber with oxygen-free protective gas, preferably a mixture nitrogen or argon and sulfur hexafluoride, can cause melt oxidation in the discharge area and safe with sensitive metals such as magnesium or the like be prevented. Since it is the metered melt discharge is a turbulent melt flow that is not the entire outlet pipe cross-section, and the melt surface continuously torn open and newly formed, can does not become a sealing as in conventional melt baths Form protective layer so that on an oxygen-free protective gas atmosphere special attention is to be paid to the usual protective gas compositions, that from gas mixtures with air and carbon dioxide or the like. Are unsuitable.

Zur Schmelzenbeschickung von Gießmaschinen werden Zwei- oder Mehrkammerofen eingesetzt, die eine gasbefüllbare Entnahmekammer mit einer Schmelzenfördereinrichtung umfassen. Ein rationeller Schmelzenaustrag wird dabei dadurch erreicht, daß die Schmelzenfördereinrichtung aus einer nach außen abgedichteten Dosierpumpe, vorzugsweise einer Schneckenpumpe, mit oberhalb des Schmelzenspiegels angeordnetem Ausguß sowie aus einem schräggeneigten, durch die Ofenseitenwandung nach außen führenden Auslaufrohr besteht, das eine im Ausgußbereich der Dosierpumpe liegende Zuflußöffnung und eine auf die Befüllöffnung der Gießmaschine ausgerichtete Abflußöffnung aufweist, und daß in die Entnahmekammer Einströmdüsen zur impulsartigen Gasbeaufschlagung münden. Mit Hilfe einer einfachen und robusten Dosierpumpe läßt sich hier eine problemlose Schmelzenbeschickung erreichen, wobei als Dosierpumpe vorzugsweise eine Schneckenpumpe nach dem AT-B-399.205 eingesetzt werden kann. Diese Schneckenpumpe fördert mit hoher Dosiergenauigkeit Schmelze in das Auslaufrohr, durch das diese unter Mithilfe des über die Einströmdüsen in die Entnahmekammer eingeblasenen Gases als Gaskolben frei ausfließt und auf kürzestem Weg zur Befüllöffnung der Gießmaschine gelangt, so daß Schwierigkeiten durch Schlackenbildung und Temperaturschwankungen in der Schmelze mit geringem Bauaufwand und auf wartungs- und bedienungsfreundliche Art und Weise unterbunden werden.Two or two are used for the melt loading of casting machines Multi-chamber furnace used, which is a gas-fillable removal chamber with a melt conveyor. A rational one Melt discharge is achieved in that the Melt conveyor from an outside sealed Dosing pump, preferably a screw pump, with above the spout arranged spout and from a sloping, leading through the furnace side wall to the outside There is a discharge pipe, one in the pouring area of the metering pump lying inflow opening and one on the filling opening the casting machine has aligned drain opening, and that in the removal chamber inflow nozzles to pulse Gas supply discharge. With the help of a simple and robust metering pump can be used to feed the melt without any problems achieve, preferably as a metering pump a worm pump according to AT-B-399.205 can be used can. This screw pump delivers with high dosing accuracy Melt in the outlet pipe, through which this with the help the one blown into the removal chamber via the inflow nozzles Gases flows freely as a gas piston and on the shortest Way to the filling opening of the casting machine, so that Difficulties due to slag formation and temperature fluctuations in the melt with little construction and maintenance and user-friendly way prevented will.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Abflußöffnung des Auslaufrohres mit einem Verschluß versehen, womit ein größerer Gasverbrauch durch ausströmendes Gas zwischen den Dosiervorgängen vermieden werden kann.The outlet opening of the outlet pipe is expediently provided with provided a closure, with which a greater gas consumption avoided by escaping gas between dosing processes can be.

Ist das Auslaufrohr außerhalb der Entnahmekammer mit einer Heizeinrichtung ausgestattet, lassen sich auf einfache Weise die Auslaufbedingungen für die Schmelze über die gesamte Auslaufrohrlänge gleichhalten, womit die Funktionssicherheit und Dosiergenauigkeit erhöht werden.If the outlet pipe is outside the extraction chamber with a Heating device equipped, can be easily the discharge conditions for the melt over the entire length of the discharge pipe keep the same, with which the functional safety and Dosing accuracy can be increased.

Um vor allem bei größeren Anlagen eine Abkühlung der Schmelze durch die Impulsbegasung zu vermeiden, kann den Einströmdüsen eine Gasvorwärmeinrichtung zu- und/oder vorgeordnet sein, womit die Gastemperatur an die Schmelzentemperatur anpaßbar ist.In order to cool the melt, especially in larger systems Avoiding the impulse gassing can reduce the inflow nozzles a gas preheater can be assigned and / or upstream, with what the gas temperature is adaptable to the melt temperature.

In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand beispielsweise an Hand eines teilgeschnittenen Anlageschemas näher veranschaulicht.In the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is, for example illustrated with the help of a partially cut investment scheme.

Die Kammern 5, 6 sind mit einer Abdeckung 9 gasdicht abgeschlossen und über Gasleitungen 10 und Einströmdüsen 11 mit Gas beaufschlagbar.A melting furnace 1 consists of an insulating housing 2 with suitable heaters 3 and an oven insert 4. The Furnace insert 4 forms one or more melt storage or Cleaning chambers 5 and a removal chamber 6, the Melting chamber 5 with a material feed device 7 and the removal chamber 6 with a melt conveyor 8 are equipped. The chambers 5, 6 are covered 9 sealed gastight and via gas lines 10 and inlet nozzles 11 can be charged with gas.

Die Schmelzenfördereinrichtung 8 umfaßt eine nach außen abgedichtete Dosierpumpe 12 mit oberhalb des Schmelzenspiegels SP innerhalb der Entnahmekammer 6 angeordnetem Ausguß 13 sowie ein schräggeneigtes, durch die Ofenseitenwandung 14 nach außen führendes Auslaufrohr 15, das eine in der Entnahmekammer 6 im Ausgußbereich der Dosierpumpe 12 liegende Zuflußöffnung 16 und eine Abflußöffnung 17 im Einfüllbereich einer Befüllöffnung 18 für eine nicht weiter dargestellte Gießmaschine aufweist. Das Auslaufrohr 15 ist über eine eigene Heizeinrichtung 19 temperaturgeregelt und kann an seiner Abflußöffnung 17 einen automatischen Verschluß 20 aufweisen.The melt conveyor 8 comprises an externally sealed Dosing pump 12 with above the melt level SP spout 13 arranged inside the removal chamber 6 and an inclined, through the furnace side wall 14 after outside leading outlet pipe 15, which is in the removal chamber 6 in the pouring area of the metering pump 12 inlet opening 16 and a drain opening 17 in the filling area of a filling opening 18 for a casting machine not shown having.

Zur Unterstützung des Schmelzenflusses wird nach dem Pumpenstopp über die Einströmdüsen 11 die Entnahmekammer 6 impulsartig mit Gas beaufschlagt, wobei zur Gasvorwärmung den Einströmdüsen 11 eine Gasvorwärmeinrichtung 21 zugeordnet sein kann. Dieses Gas wirkt wie ein Gaskolben auf die Schmelze im Ablaufrohr 15, der den Schmelzenfluß beschleunigt und ohne Nachtropfen klar begrenzt, wobei ein sauerstofffreies Schutzgas außerdem eine Schmelzenoxydation verhindert. Das aus der Abflußöffnung 17 ausströmende Schutzgas übt außerdem seine Schutzwirkung auch im Bereich der Befüllöffnung 18 aus, was die Schmelzenbeschickung verbessert. Der Verschluß 20 wird nach jedem Schmelzenaustrag geschlossen, um einen unnötigen Schutzgasverbrauch zu vermeiden.Melt is used for charging the filling opening 18 in batches S dosed from the removal chamber 6 by the metering pump 12 pumped up and through the inflow opening 16 into the drain pipe 15 poured through which it freely outwards into the filling opening 18 flows off.
