application filed August 6, 1923. Serial No. 656,047.
To calla-120m it may concern:
Be it known that CLIFTON HOLMES and Fibre BRINGLE, citizens of the United States, residing at Cushing, in the county of 5 Payne and State of Oklahoma, have invent-- ed new and useful Improvements in Separating Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a separating: ma-
chine for liquids, the general object of the invention being to provide a centrifugal drum with means for feeding thereinto the liquid to be separated and exhausting therefrom the heavier liquid or liquid containing 35 sediment and other means. for exhausting therefrom the lighter liquids.
A further obiect of the invention is to arrange the inlet. and exhaust means in the shaft which supports the drum.
20 A still further object of the invent-ion is to provide valve means for controlling the discharge of the heavier liquids.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for dividing the drum into chambers with means for feedingthe liquid to be separated into the chambers and for discharging the heavier liquids from the outer parts of said chambers. i
This invention also consists in certain 39 other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be-hereinafterfully described, illus-' like or corresponding parts throughout the- 49 several views, and in which Figure 1 is a side view of the invention. Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.
Figure 3 is an end view. Figure at is a section on line H of Figure '1.
Figure 5 is a section on line 5-.-5 of Fig v are 1.
Figure 6 is a section on line 6-6 of Figure 1.
T remaining figures are detail views. In these views 1 indicates a base which supports the journals 2 for the hollow shaft A drum 4: is supported by the shaft between the upright parts of the base. Brackets 5 are located at the sides' of the base, these brackets supporting the stufing boxes '16 is closed by a plug 21.
. holes 24 in said shaft.
6, 7 and 8 through which the shaft and its associated parts pass. Each box comprises a cylinder 9 having-an internal annular groove 10 from which leads a passage 11 which may be formed in a part of the sup porting bracket. Plates 12 are connected with the ends of the cylinder and caps 13 fit in the ends of the cylinder and are pro vided with heads 14 which are bolted to the plates 12 so that these caps will compress the packing material 15 and thus make a tight joint between the grooved partnf the cylinder and the shaft. The hollow shaft. is provided with a small bore 16 which ex- "a'ends from one end of the shaft to a point adjacent its center and with a large bore 17 which extends from the opposite end of the shaft to a point adjacent the center. Thus a solid part is located bet-ween the inner ends of-the bores. Transverse holes 18 connect the inner end of bore 16 with the interiou of the drum and transverse holes 19 connect the bore 16 with a groove 20 formed in the shaft and which is arranged to coincide with the groove 10 in the packing box 8. The outer end of the bore A spirally grooved shaft 22 is arranged in the bore 17 of'the hollow shaft. and is heldtherein by the set screw 22, the ends of the spiral grooves 23 communicating with annular grooves 24 and 25 formed in the shaft 22. The groove 2%,commu'nicates with a groove 24' formed in the shaft 3 by means of the The groove 2st is located in the stufiinr box 6 and coincides with the groove 10 in such box and the groove 25 registers with holes 26 formed in the shaft 3, these holes 26 being screw threaded to receive the screw threaded ends of pipes 27 which are arranged in the drum. and have their outer ends connected with a hollow ring 28 which is perforated, as shown at 29, and which passes through holes in partition plates 30 in the drum. The inner ends of these plates-terminatean appreciable distance from the center of the drum. These plates divide the drum into a plurality of chambers. The spiral shaft 22 is provided with a bore 31, the inner end of which communicates w'th the transverse holes 32 made in the spiral shaft and these holes 32 register with holes 33 formed in the shaft 3 and to which the inner ends of pipes 110 34 are connected. These pipes are connected v to the ring 28, as shown at 2. 5, in anyde against the end ofthe shaft sired mannen'so that they will he strengthened by said ring and their outer ends ters minate short of the outer ends of 'theehanr bers in the drum which are formed by the partition plate. This-arrangement of parts guide 40 carried byisaid shaft. This stuh s? rift has transverse holes all formed therein which communicate with the bore of the shaft and with an annular groove elf 3 formed in the shaft, this roove 42 being locates in the stufling box 4 and co incic es with the groove of said box. A packing gland i3 is placed at the end of the stub shaft to prevent leakage around the valve stem and said valve stem is connected by the'yolre and the 'fOllQWGF'lfl witha two-part lever 46 which is pivotallv-supportcd on a standard 47 and is provided with the usual means for holding it in adjusted position, A spring 48 tends to hold the valve in closed position and the packing gland tightly A pulley 49 is connected with the shaft 3 and the passages 11 are controlled by valves 50. 4 V I The liquid 'to be treated is forced into the passage 11 of box 6 in any suitable n'ianner. Thisliquid will pass from the-ho through the groove 24 and the holes 24 of shaft 3-into the groove 24 ofthe spiral. shaft 28 and will pass through the spiral grooves in said shaft to the groove 25 and will pass from said groove 25. through the holes 26 in shaft 3 into thepipes 27 o the ring and through the perforations 29 therein into the drum; The rotary movement of the drum will cause thelheavier liquids or llqtllflS-COIII HJHIH -S( (l]mnt to occupy the outer parts of the chambers in the drum, the ligl'iter liquids being located ad1ac'ent the center of the drum. These lighter liquids will therefore pass through the holes 18 into I as the bore 16 of the shaft 3 and will pass from said bore through the holes 19 into the groove 20 and will thus fiow out of the passage 11 of the box 8; This passage 11 may be connected with any suitable container for holding the lighter liquids. The heavierr 8d liquids-will pass through the pipes 34efrom the chambers into the bore 31 of the spiral shaft 22 through the holes-33 and 32 and such liquids will pass. from said hole 31; provided the valve is open, into the bore of the shaft 4 and willpass' from said bore throughthe holes l1 and groove 42 into the hex Tend thus escape through. the passage 11 in said box. Thus the liquid to be treated is ted through the hollow shaft and its assooiatcd'parts into the drum, the lighter liquids escaping through another portion of the hollow shaft the heavier liquids passing through the spiral shaft which is carried by the hollow shalt and through the stub shaft to the box: '7. .tiy manipulz-iting the lever 46 the escape; the heavier liquids can be controlled and the valvesrT-O also provide means for controlling the lieu; of liquid into and out of the device. "the parts can be provided with any form of lubricating means'and the apparatus can be driven from any suitable source of power.
This machine can be used for treating liquids of all kinds and it may'also be used for removing sediment and the like from lubricating oil which has been used for lubricating purposes and contains grit and the lihewhich will make it useless for further lubric tion unless cleaned. fitter running such oil through the apparatus it may be used again. I it can also be used for cleaning crude oil from foreign matter though we do not wish to be'limited to the use to which the invention is pnt.'. It is thought from'the foregoing descrip-' tion that the advantages and novel features of the invention willbe readily apparent.
