CGOLING APPARATUS Application filed February 27,. 1931. Serial No. 518,735..-
Among the objects of the invention are to provide an improved cooling apparatus for this purpose; to provide improved means whereby the liquid circulation may be bypassed and controlled; and to provide improved means whereby the circulation, by-
pass of liquid and heat radiation may be regulated from a single control and in desired order Other objects, advantages and capabilities of the invention will appear from the following description of a preferred embodiment, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view, partly in section, of an automobile engine and associated parts, embodying the invention;
Fig; 2 is a sectional detail view on the line 2-2 0f Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a sectional plan detail view taken on the line H of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, the reference numeral 10 designates an internal combustion engine, the water jacket of which is connected by upper conduit 11 and by lower conduit 12 to the radiator 13. A pump 14 is provided in the lower conduit 12 in order to circulate the liquid cooling medium through the engine block and radiator.
In front of the radiator 13 is mounted a shutter '15 which controls the flow of .air through the radiator and the degree of cooling of the liquid therein. The shutter may be of any suitable type and 'may be actuated by a link 16 which is secured to a bell crank lever 17 pivotally mounted on the top of the shutter frame. The lever 17 is actuated by a rod 18 which passes through a tube 19 in the top water box 20 of the radiator 13.
In the drawings I have shown a shutter 15 comprising a series of vertical shutter elements 21, pivotally mounted in the shutter frame. Each shutter element is provided with a lug 22, and said lugs are pivotally connected to an actuating bar' 23 which is located ,below the top frame member of the shutter frame. A stud 24 mounted on the actuating bar 23 pro ects through an arcuate slot 25 in the top frame member, and the link 16 is pivotally connected thereto. A tension spring 26 connects the stud 24 to a lug 27 on the top frame member so that the shutter elements 21 automatically close except when the link 16 is actuated by the rod'18 to move them so to their open position.
Adjacent the tube 19 the rear wall of the upper water box 20 is provided with a relatively large opening 31 and an inwardl directed flange 32, to which is welded, sold; or otherwise secured a collar 33. The collar 33 projects rearwardly from-the water box 30 and is provided at its rear end with a flange 34. On one side the collar 33 is provided with an inlet port 35 and a shoulder 36 3o pipe 39, which is arranged in parallel with the radiator 13 so that the circulation of the cooling medium may be diverted therethrough in whole or in part as will hereinafter appear. The by-pass pipe 39 may suitably be connected tothe lower conduit 12 at a suitable .point. The collar 33 provides a support for a casing 40 which is provided at its open end with a flange 41 adapted to overhe with the flange 34. A cover plate e2 issecured to the flange 34 by screws 43, suitable gaskets 44 being provided. on either side of the flange 41 so as to prevent leakage from the casing 40. While it is preferred to locate the casing 40 in the upper water box of the radiator, it will readily be understood that it may be mounted in any other desired position in the circulatory system, for example, in the lower Water box or on the engine block.
The inner end of the casing 40 is provided with a relatively large opening which is adapted to be closed by a valve 46. The valve 46 is mounted on a stem 47 which is supported by a spider 48 and is secured to one side of a thermostat 49 which may suitably be constituted by an expansible metal bellows oonred 65 taining volatile liquid of appropriate boiling point. The outer end of the thermostat 49 upon the interior of the casing 40, said strip being provided with an opening 56 register ing with the o enin 38 and 54. A. valve "member 57 is a apte to close the opening 56,
" said valve member being of the same curvature as the stripand adapted to slide thereon. The valve member 57 is supported from the rearward part of the thermostat A9, for example, by means of a vertical web: 58
' which is engaged between the coupling? 51 and the rear face of the thermostat, said web bein provided with an opening through whidh the stud 50 passes.
The rearwardly projecting ends of the 18 and spindle 50 are pivotally connected to a link 59 which is fulcrumed at an intermediate point so that the rod 18 and spindle 50 move in opposite directions. Preferably the connections between the link 59 and the rod 18 and spindle 50 are adjustable so that the device may be readily adapted for the best operation. The link 59 may suitably be formed of two straps welded or otherwise secured together, the ends of which are displaced to provide thelink withbifurcations at both ends. The bifurcated ends are provided with openings 60 which receive pintles 61 of collars 62 and 63 mounted on the threaded ends of the rod 18 and spindle 5O respectively. The collar 63 may have a threaded enement upon the spindle 50 and may be loc ed in position by a lock nut. The collar 62 may be freely movable on the rod 18 and may be located in desired position by lock 1 nuts on either side.
The link 59 is pivotally connected at an intermediate point to. a link 64 of similar construction. Theother end of thejlink 64 is pivotally connected to a web 65 formed on the cover plate 42. As will readily be understood from Fig. 4, this system of linkage provides a silght lateral movement of the rod 18 during its longitudinal movement,
whilethe spindle 50 is constrained to' axial movement only.
The operation of the cooling apparatus is as follows: Assuming the engine to be cold,
the'shutter 15 is closed and the thermostat and associated-elements are in the condition shown in Fig. 3. The valve 46 closes the opening 45 and the by-pass port 56 is open.
engine water jacket, casing 49 and by-pas's pipe 39. Since there is practically no radiation of heat, the engine warms up rapidly. When the temperature of the circulating liquid attains a certain degree, depending upon the adjustment of the device, the thermostat 49 expands sufiiciently to open the valve 46,
the spring 26 preventing the movement of the spindle 50 until the forward end of the thermostat 49 abuts against the spider 48. The opening of the Valve 46, gradually at first, permits circulation throu h the radiator 13 as well as through the by-pass pipe 39 until-all the cooling medium is warmed up. Further rise of temperature is accompanied by a further expansion of the thermostat 49 which moves the spindle 50 outwardly so as to open the shutter 15. At the same time the valve member 57 progressive- 1y closes ofi circulation through the by-pass 39. When the coupling 51 abuts against the cover plate 42, the shutter 15 is completely open and the by-pass 39 is completely closed. When the cooling liquid temperature falls, the thermostat 49 will collapse to close or partly close the shutter 15 and open or partly open the by-pass 39 .so as tomaintain the temperature of the engine block at the desired level.
Although the invention has been disclosed in connection with the specific details of a preferred embodiment, it must'be understood that such details are not intended to be limitative of the invention, except insofar as set forth inthe accompanying claims.
