(54) METHOD & APPARATUS FOR LOCATING A
Hn3 ON A SHAFT
(71) We, METAL BOX LIMITED, of
Queens House, Forbury Road, Reading RG1 3JH, Berkshire, a British Company, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to hubs for mounting a rotary element on a shaft, to the combination of such shaft with such hubs, and to methods of adjusting the location of a hub on a shaft. In one typical but nonlimiting application the invention relates to the location of a hub which carries a cutter on the shaft of a rotary slitting machine for slitting thin metal sheets.
Various expedients for fixing hubs on shafts are known, such as the provision of split hubs having clamping bolts and hubs having grub screws which move inwardly to engage with the shaft. However, the asymmetrical reaction forces arising from such arrangements tend to distort the hub.
This invention provides a hub for holding a cutting ring on the shaft of a slitting machine, said hub being of a kind having an axial bore which includes a radial inlet hole, an annular groove extending from the inlet hole around the bore and a helical groove extending along the bore from the annular groove, to terminate before the end of the axial bore, characterised in that, the hub has a ground face extending perpendicular to the axis of the axial bore and a cylindrical portion extending outwardly and axially from the ground face, said cylindrical portion having an inner surface continuous with the axial bore of the hub and an outer surface adapted to guide a cutting ring to engage with the ground face, said axial bore being of a diameter such that introduction of fluid under pressure between the hub and shaft expands the hub radially to permit movement of the hub along the shaft. In one embodiment, the helical groove terminates before reaching the inner surface of the cylindrical portion and the inner surface of the cylindrical portion is adapted to be an interference fit on the shaft of the slitting machine.
In another embodiment of the hub a cutting ring surrounds the cylindrical portion and is attached to the ground face of the hub. The cutting ring may be of a carbide material.
The invention further provides the hub when mounted on the shaft of the slitting machine.
One embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a hub according to the invention, in section on line
A-A' of Fig. 2;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the hub of
Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of part of a pair of shafts in a rotary slitting machine; and
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic sketch of a shaft and hubs according to the invention, together with apparatus for setting the hubs on the shaft.
In a typical can making operation a sheet of tinplate of the order of 1 metre long by 1 metre wide is passed between the rotating shafts 1, 2 of a slitting machine or slitter (part of which is indicated at 37 in Fig. 3), so that each pair of cutters progressively cuts a strip from a sheet. The slitter itself may be of any known type and need not be described here since the remainder of the machine will be such as is well known to those familiar with the art.
The pair of cutters 3, 4 are used to trim the edge of the sheet (not shown) and further pairs of cutters, such as those denoted at 5, 6, are located along the shaft at a distance equal to the width of the strips to be cut from the sheet. The sheet is pulled between the shafts 1 and 2, by rubber rollers such as those denoted 7 and 8.
In order that the cut edges of the strips produced shall be straight and burr free the, carbide cutting edges 9 and 10 of the cutters 3 and 4 respectively must in a plane perpendicular to the rotational axis of the shaft and axially located correctly with respect to each other. This is achieved by grinding the engaging faces of the cutters and the hubs flat before assembling them; the hub and cutter assemblies are then located on each shaft. The axial distance "D" between the cutting edges 9, 10 of the first pair of cutters 3, 4 and the cutting edges of the next pair of cutters 5, 6 represents the strip width to be produced, and this distance is adjusted by sliding the hub and cutter assemblies along the shaft. Successful adjustment of the location of the cutters on the shaft therefore depends on the hub not being detrimentally distorted.
In Figs. 1 and 2, the hub 11 comprises a substantially cylindrical body 13 having an axial bore 14 extending through it. The axis of the hole 14 is perpendicular to the ground face 15 of the right hand end of the body 13 as shown in Fig. 1. A cutter 3 (drawn dotted) has a ground face 16, which is held in engagement with the ground face 15 of the body 13, by means of studs (not shown) which screw into threaded holes in the body 13, one of which is denoted 17. Fitting of the cutter 3 to the body 13 is aided by a cylindrical portion 18 extending outwardly and axially from the ground face 15 of the body 13, which serves to centre the cutter 3 on the hub 11 before fixing. The edge of the cutter 3 is therefore made perpendicular to the axis of the hub and ready for fitting to a shaft, such as 1 in Fig. 3.
In the hub 11 of Figs. 1 and 2, a radial hole 19 located equidistant from the end faces 20, 21 of the body 13, pierces the cylindrical wall and leads into an annular groove 121 cut in the wall of the cylindrical bore 14. The radial hole 19 and groove 121 serve to lead oil under pressure into the hub when it is fitted on a shaft. Shallow helical grooves 22, 23 are adapted to lead such oil from the annular groove 121 in the axial direction away from the groove through the interface between the shaft 1 and hub 11. The shallow helical grooves terminate before reaching the ends of the axial bore to leave smooth portions 24, 25.
An outer portion of the radial hole 19 is provided with a screw thread 26 to receive the terminal union of a high pressure oil pipe used to deliver fluid to the hub under high pressure by suitable means and from a suitable source (shown in Fig. 4).
The bore 14 of the hub 11 in an interference fit on the shaft 1 and the hub is therefore fitted to the shaft in any known manner, such as by heating to expand it.
Thereafter, fluid under high pressure is introduced through the radial hole 19 into the annular groove 121 and shallow helical grooves 22, 23 to expand hub 11 so to lose the inteference and to create clearance between hub 11 and shaft 1 and permit adjustment of the axial location of the hub on the shaft. It will be appreciated that the fluid pressure acts evenly all round the hub and shaft interface so that asymmetric distortion of the hub is avoided and the entire periphery of the cutting edge of the cutter 16 remains substantially in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. Not only does the pressurised fluid control the fit between hub and shaft to permit movement of the hub on the shaft but also it acts as a lubricant further aiding precision of location.
In Fig. 4, the apparatus for carrying out the setting of the hub 11 on the shaft 1 comprises an air line 27, controlled by means 28, at about 80 p.s.i., a foot operated pressure intensifier 29 acting upon a supply of oil 30, and a high pressure oil pipe 31 having a terminal union to fit the radial bore 19 on the hub 11. Any known measuring means, such as the dial gauge and jig 32, may be used to measure the spacing of the cutters and adjustments may be made either with the shafts in situ on the slitting machine or outside it.
