- the high pressure feed line extends directly from the pipe 28, which is connected to the pump, through the check valve 22' to the presses.
- the left hand ball valve of valve 14 being partially opened, even though the accumulator 4 is not in its upper position, part of the fluid pumped by pump 2 extends through check valves 23 and 24 "to the low pressure line 22, and through the leaky check valve 27 to the accumulator 5 to supply liquid to the accumulator 5.
- valve 14 is caused to again force the liquid into accumulator 4.
- this accumulator is raised to a osition Where it opens its valve 19 to permit the by-passing of the liquid through check valve 25 to the surge tank, but valve 19 is not opened a sufficient amount to permit the lowering of the pressure between the valve 19 and 14 below the predetermined desired pressure.

HENRY J. GBIGOLEIT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO KELLOGG SWITCHBOARD AND SUPPLY COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS PRESSURE- CONTROL SYSTEM.
Application filed July 2,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY J. Gmeonnrr, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Pressure- Control Systems, 0 which the following 18 as ecification.
y invention relates to pressure feed systems and has more particularly to do wlth systems in which fluid under a plurality of dilferent pressures is fed to one or more presses or hydraulic devices for forming moulded ob'ects.
In moul ing systems, a moulding compound is placed in moulds or dies whlch are glaced in presses and then subjected to hyraulic pressure of difi'erent values to form the moulding compound into the desired shapes and objects. In hot moulding, it is customary to apply a relatively low pressure to closethe halves of the mould and then, at a pre-determined time, a higher pressure is applied to further press or form the compound into the desired shape. sired time steam is up 7 lied to the mould to heat the compound, t en subsequentl the steam is disconnected from the moul and in some instances, a cooling fluid, such as water, is applied to the mould to cool the moulded compound. In cold moulding, the mould is not eated by steam.
.In the prior art system, it was customary to ifovide one pump to force the fluid into a big prasure accumulator, and a second pump to force the fluid into the low pressure accumulator or tank. Thepumps were of the necessary capacity to maintain the accumulators substantially filled when all of the presses in the s stem were in use. It is at once apparent t at with such systems it was necessary to automatically connect the pumps to the accumulators when the pressure in the accumulators dropped and to automatically disconnect the pumps from the accumulators when the pressure in the same raised to the desired valves. Disconnecting the high pressure pum from the high ressure accumulator an reconnecting t e pump to the accumulator caused eat strains to be thrown upon the hig pressure pump which necessitated the continuous replacing and repairing of parts of the high tpressure pump due to these sudden strains at were placed upon At the de-' 1923. Serial No. 649,185.
the same by the automatic mechanism which connected and disconnected thepump from the accumulator.
One object of my invention is to arrange mechanism so that one ump will not only supply the fluid to the igh pressure accumulator, but also to thelow pressure accumulator. With this arrangement, I maintain a constant pressure in the high pressure accumulator and then instead of dlsconnecting the pump from the high pressure accumulator, it is automatically connected to the low pressure accumulator. The back pressure on the pump, is maintained at substantially a constant pressure soflthat the'pump at all times is operating against substantially a constant pressure, thus obviating the sudden strains thrown upon the pump in the prior systems. 7
A further feature'of my invention is the means by which the .pumping pressure applied to both, the high pressure and the low pressure accumulators is maintained sub stantially constant whether these accumulators are completely filled, in which event the fluid is by-passed to a supply or surge tank or whether the accumulators are receiving a supply from the pump. By the use of only one pump, it is readily apparent that I greatly reduce the horsepower required to maintain the fluid in the accumulators up to the desired pro-determined pressures.
A further feature resides in the novel valve construction which I employed to maintain the accumulators at the desired pressures while by-passin the fluid from one accumulator to the ot er and from the other accumulator to the reservoir tank, when the accumulators are filled. Now with pressures that run. up to three or four thousand pounds per uare inch, the force of the fluid very quic 1y cuts into the valve and valve seats of the prior valves'so that the valves become leaky. I have devised'a valve which has substantially number of valve seats so that the extremely high pressures do not cut into my valve meichanism as was the case with the prior art va ves.
A further feature of my invention resides ms an infinite ythe'ue high pressure accumulator, I adjust the smaller valve so that it is artly open at all times, by-passin part of t e fluid to the low pressure tank. liven with this valve partly open and the fluidcontinuously surging t rough this opening, I am unable to find any noticeable wear or cutting on this valve after long usage. This may be due to the fact that the valve wall is kept continuously rotating as the fluid passes through.
A further feature of my. invention is the provision of a plurality of cooperating control arms for my valve mechanism which permits a minute movement of the valve controlling plungers for large movements of the valve controlling rods, which rods are connected to the accumulator tanks.
The above features of my invention as well as others will be more fully pointed out and described in the ensuing specification and in the appended claims.
For a more complete understanding of my invention, reference may be had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters in the different views denote like parts and in which:
Figure 1, diagrammatically represents my pressure feed system,
Figure 2, is a, side elevation showing one of my valves and its control arts and,
Figure 3, is a sectional view along line 3-3 of Figure 2. a
. Referring first to Figure 1 which diagrammatically represents my pressure feed system, 2, represents the pressure pump which pum s the pressure from the supply tank 3 to t e high pressure accumulator 4 and to the low pressure accumulator 5. The pulley wheel 6 of the pump 2 is driven by a motor not shown.
At 7, I diagrammatically represent one of the moulding presses. While I have only shown the high and low pressure supply pipes connected to this press, it is to be understood that the necessary steam, air and other connections ai'e connected to the devices,'so that they may perform their proper unctions Referring to the accumulator 4, this comprises a pipe or reservoir 8 into which the fluid is pumped against the Weights 9 which rise as the amount of fluid in the pi e 8 is increased.- Guide rods 11 are provi ed for the accumulator 4 to direct its. upward and downward movement. The accumulator is substantially the same as the accumulator 4 and has a pipe tank 12, which after it is filled causes the weighted'body portion 13 to rise. I
At 14, I represent one of my double valve mechanisms which is more fully illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. The valve mechanism is controlled by a.rod 15 which loosely fits through an orifice 16 in a plate 17 attached to the top of the a cumulator 4.
A nut or blocking device 18 is attached to the rod 15 so that when the accumulator reaches a pre-determined height, the valve rod 15 is operated to operate the mechanism of the valve 14. The valve 19 and its control rod 20 is substantially the same as valve 14 and its control rod.
Pipe 21 is the high pressure supply lead to difierent presses, only one of which is shown.
The ipe 22 is the low pressure supply line to the ifi'erent presses.
22', 23, 24 and 25 represent ordinary check valves which permit the flow of fluid in one direction only.
26 and 27 represent leaky check valves which permit a. free flow of fluid in one direction and a slow flow of fluid in the opposite direction. These check valves may be the re lar check valves with a small hole drille through the ball check.
The outlet pipe 28 from the pump 2 is connected through the leaky check valve 26 to the accumulator 4, to the valve 14, and through the check valve 22 to the supply line 21. The by-pass outlet of the valve 14 is connected through check valve 23 to the valve 19, also through a check valve 24 to the supply line 22, and also through the leaky check valve 27 to the accumulator 5.
, The by-pass outlet of the valve 19 is connected back through a check valve 25 to the surge tank 3. Surge tank 3 is connected through pipe 30' to the pump 2.
Referring now more particularly to the valve mechanism as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, it comprises a block 31 through which extends laterally an orifice 32. In one end of the orifice is a plug 34, while the other end of the orifice is threaded to receive a pipe connection. Extending vertically into the block are the orifices 35 and 36. A second longitudinal orifice 37 is provided which intersects orifices 35 and 36. A plug 38 fits into one end of orifice 37. At right angles to orifice 37 is an orifice 39 which intersects orifice 37 and forms a by-pass for the fluid when the valves are open. It will be noted that the opening 40 extending from the orifice 35 into orifice 32 is smaller than the opening 41 which connects orifice 36 with orifice 32. Fittin into orifice 35 is a valve seat member 43 w ich is provided with an orifice that has a slightly chamfered opening for the valve, ball To hold the valve seat 43 in position a plug 45 is provided which has screw-threaded enga ement with threads inthe orifice 35. A pac 'ng ring 46 is provided which holds the packing 47 in position to prevent leakage between the plug 45 and the block 31. Extending vertically in the plug 45 is an orifice 48 through which extends the valve control rod 49. A packing rin 50 is provided to hold the packing 51 m p t p t leak ge bet een the rod 49 and the plug 45. The rod 49 contacts against the valve ball 44 and depresses the same when the valve is to be opened to permit a flow from orifice 32 through orifice into by-pass opening 39. The plu is provided with several radially exten ing orifices 52 that open into the orifice 37.
The construction of the larger valve mechanism at the right of F ig. 3 is substantially the same as the construction of the smaller valve mechanism at the left of Fig. 3.
Attached to the side of the block 31 is an arm 56. Pivotally secured to the arm 56 is a valve controlling yoke 57 and pivotally secured to the valve controlling yoke 57 is a pair of U-shaped dependent members 58, the one member connecting to valve rod 49, and the other member to valve rod 55. Valve rods 49 and are threaded and have screw threaded engagement with U-shaped members 58. Lock nuts 59 are provided for maintaining the valve rods 49 and 55 in their adjusted positions.
From the drawings it Will be noted that the smaller valve at the left of Fig. 3 is adjusted to be opened before the larger valve is opened at the right of Figure 3. The smaller valve of valve 14 is adjusted so that it is always partially opened to permit a flow from the pump 2 to the accumulator 5, even though the main flow is into the accumulator 4. Pivotallv secured to the arm 56 is a pair of rearwardly extending arms 60. Pivotally secured to the arms 60 at 61 is a rear- \vardly extending yoke 62. An arm 64 is provided that is pivotally secured to arm 62 at 65, and to the base 66 at 67. Extending cross-wise of 62 is a pin 68 which is adapted to receive the forked end of the yoke 57. When the left end of the arms 60 (which are connected together at this point) are raised they turn about their pivot pin 70 and raise the right end of yoke 62 which is pivoted at 61 to the lever 60 and at to the lever 64. The raising of the right end of the lever 62 naturally raises its pivot pin 68 which causes the free end of the yoke 57, to be raised, thereby causing it to be turned about its pivot point 70, causing the right end of the yoke 57 to be lowered, thus forcing the U- shaped members 58 downwardly, to which are attached the valve rods 49 and 55. The lowering of the valve rods 49 and 55 depresses the valve balls 4% and 75, the valve hall 44 first. to open the passageway from orifice 32 through to by-pass opening 39. \Vhen the right hand end lever 60 is lowered, it causes the yoke 62 to be lowered which lowers the right end of yoke 57. causing the raising of U-shaped pieces 58, thereby permitting the valve halls 44 and 75 to seat in their valve seats. cutting off the flow of liquid to the by-pass 39.
From the foregoing it is apparent that the valve balls 44 and 75 may be adjusted to operate in any desired sequence, and they may be made to open at any desired position of the lever arms 60, or they may be adjusted to remain partly open when the lever 60 is in its upper-most position.
Returning now to Figure 1 of the drawings, when the pump 2 is started in operation, it pumps fluid through the pipe 28 and the leaky check valve 26 into the water column 8 which causes the accumulator to be raised until the valve control rod 15, which is attached to the lever 60, is raised a suilicient amount to open the ball valves of valve 14. As above mentioned, the high pressure feed line extends directly from the pipe 28, which is connected to the pump, through the check valve 22' to the presses. The left hand ball valve of valve 14 being partially opened, even though the accumulator 4 is not in its upper position, part of the fluid pumped by pump 2 extends through check valves 23 and 24 "to the low pressure line 22, and through the leaky check valve 27 to the accumulator 5 to supply liquid to the accumulator 5. Although this valve is slightly opened, the back pressure in the high pressure feed line and into the accumulator 4 is maintained at the desired amount. When the accumulator 4 has been raised to a certain position, the valve balls are opened an amount suflicient to permit a flow of the liquid through check valve 23 to the low pressure feed line 22 and to the accumulator 5, but these openings are such as to maintain a back pressure of the desired amount in the accumulator 4. As liquid is used from accumulator 4, it is lowered and valve 14 is caused to again force the liquid into accumulator 4. Assuming that liquid is not being taken from accumulator 4, and the liquid is being by-passed through valve 14 into accumulator 5, this accumulator is raised to a osition Where it opens its valve 19 to permit the by-passing of the liquid through check valve 25 to the surge tank, but valve 19 is not opened a sufficient amount to permit the lowering of the pressure between the valve 19 and 14 below the predetermined desired pressure.
From the above it is obvious that the pressure between the pump 2 and valve 14 is maintained at the predetermined high pressure point, and the pressure between valves 14 and 19 is maintained at the desired low pressure. The check valve 22' prevents a surge back from the pipe line 21 into the pipe line 28, and the check valve 24 prevents a sur e back from pipe line 22 into the pi e 80. he leaky check valve 26 prevents tlie sudden dropplng of accumulator 4 if a great number of presses are operatively connected to the pipe line 21 at the same time, while the leaky check valve 27 prevents the sudden dropping of accumulator 5 if a great number of presses are simultaneously operatively connected to pipe line 22.
From the foregoing it is thus obvious that as liquid is taken from pipe line 21, the pump and valve 14 will maintain the pressure 1n the pi e line 21 at substantially the predetermined value. The pump will also, in conjunction with the accumulator 5 and valve 19, maintain the pressure in pipe 22 at substantially the predetermined value. These valves will operate to automatically prevent the accumulators from dropping to their lowermost positions, when the resses are in use, and will by-pass the liqui from the pump 2 to the sur e tank 3 if the normal use of the liquid t rough pipes 21 and 22 falls below the output 0 the'pump 2.
While I have only shown the accumulators 4 and 5, press 7, and pump 2 in diagrammatic form, these pieces of apparatus are well known in the art and their functions are well understood. The pressures maintained by accumulators 4 and 5 may be set at any desired points by the weights attached to these accumulators. By adjusting the length of the rods 15 and 20, the positions at which these rods will operate valves 14 and 19, may be controlled;
My system is entirely automatic and no matter how many resses may he suddenly turned on or ofl, t e valves will cause the accumulators to substantially maintain the pressures at the desired values. A sudden usage of a number of presses will cause the accumulators to drop a slight amount, still the pressures will be maintained at the desired values, and the pump will again restore the accumulators to their upper posi-v tions before the ressures drop elow the desired predetermined amounts in the pipes 21 and 22.
While I have illustrated only one form of my invention, I do not wish to be limited to the exact arrangement as shown, as various other arrangements may readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art, and I, therefore, aim to cover all such changes and modifications as come within the spirit and scotpee of the appended claims.
