claims. (el. zama This invention relates to apparatus for separating and recovering metal values.'
The invention is particularly directed to structure and 'methods suitable for the continuous 5 separation of lower melting metals and alloys from higher melting materials. Apparatus constructed according to the invention may accordinglybe adapted to the reclamation of tin, lead,
solder 'and other low melting coatings or binders from associated higher melting metals and alloys in scrap materials. It may be utilized, for example, for effecting the recovery of solder fromv scrappedl radiators of internal vcombustion engines or the removal'of lead coverings from wire cables and the like. 'Ihe furnace' may be arranged to. heat the materials under controlled conditions to melt the low melting'ymetals and alloys without excessive oxidation or the formation of dross.
vIn accordance with the invention, a continuous process sweating [furnace is preferably pro.
vided with a sloping chute or hearthmade up "of .a plurality of hearth pans, associated driving mechanism being arranged to cause motion or Vagitation of the hearth pans in a predetermined manner. lThis mechanism may lpreferably im part to the hearth pans a longitudinal reciprocating motion together with a jarring or'thumping'action to work"the material being treated' through the heated' furnace and simultaneously 'dislodge and separate-the low melting metals and alloys from the higher melting materials.- Devices may likewise be provided, if desired, to impart an individual rocking or. bouncing action ,to each hearth pan. l I
The invention also consists in certain-new and original features of construction andcombinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.
Although the novel 'features which are believed to be characteristic of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims appendedA hereto, the invention itself; as to 'its objects and advantages, and the manner in which it may be carried out, may be better understood by-referl nection with the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, in which' l .i Fig.-1 is a sectional plan view of a. furnace' and associated apparatus taken on the line` I-l of me. s: 1 e
Fig 2 is a 4 line 2-2 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 3 is an end section taken on the line 3- ring to the following description taken in con sectional elevation Itaken on the Fig.V 4 an enlarged sectional elevation of part of the hearth structure;
Fig. 5 is an end section of the hearth structure taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4; and
Fig. 6 is an end section taken on the line 6--6 5 of Fig. 4.
Like reference characters denote like parts in the several figures of the drawings. Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the furnace is constructed to effect an ef- 10 i flcient utilizationof heat due to control 4of the rate vof heating, the method of circulating the hot furnace gases and the insulated character of the furnace walls.` The walls may be of fire brick which is covered on the outside with a 15 y heat insulating material such as magnesia brick or cement 2.. T he floor/3 may be bulltup of several layers of brick. The roof Lmay be formed of successive layers of fire brick, magnesia and insulating cement. 20 One end-wall of the furnace is provided withay pair of feed or intake openings 5 and the opposite endwith a pair of dischargel openings 6 ata lower level than the feed' openings. A pair of hearth structures il and l2, placed side by side, 2s extend between the intake anddischarge open- Vings and serve to convey'the materials to be treated through thefurnace. The feed and discharge 'openings are provided with swinging inlet and outlet doors 5a and 6a respectively. These 30 doors are hinged along the .upper edges of the l openings whereby material passing down the hearth will temporarily raise them while entering .or leaving the furnace but the openings will y be' closed the remainder of the time.
Extending lengthwise of the furnace chamber I are two combustion chambers 1 and 8 resting on the floor thereof'.l These are equipped with suitable burners la and 8a, respectively, which are adapted'to burn oil, gas, pulverized coal or the 40 like. The chambers may, however, be constructed' to burn other formsof fuel if desired. Thel lburners are preferably located at the ends of the combustion chambers nearest the discharge end of the furnace. Several vents or openings 9 arev distributed along the side walls of the combustion chambers to permit the hot combustion gases to escape into the 'furnace chamber. A` stack in rises from the roof tl of the furnace near the feed end for carrying away the usedcombustion gases. Standard automatic control devices are preferably associated withthe furnace to regulate the X combustion to maintain the required degree of' heat and to regulate the chemical composition of ings.
the combustion gases to prevent oxidation and dross formation.
As hearths II and I2 are identical in construction, hearth I2, only, Iwill be described in detail. This hearth comprises a pair of I-beams 22 with the lower flangesl cut away at the feed and discharge ends to provide narrower portions which extend through the feed and discharge open- Angle irons 23 are clamped to the web portions of the beams where they are cut away to strengthen the projecting ends thereof. The ends 'of the beams projecting from the furnace at the feed and discharge ends rest on rollers I3 and I4, respectively, which are journalled on supporting frames 35 and 36, respectively, outside the furnace. I-beams 22 are provided with suitable lwater` jackets 24 through which cooling water may be circulated for cooling these beams'.
` to the hearth frame structure.
Mounted at the upper end of the hearth structure is a channel shapedA feeder pan 25 extending through the feed or input opening '5 and mounted at the lower end is a channel shaped .discharge panl 26 extending Jthrough the discharge opening 6, A plurality of channel shaped hearth pans 21, having-bottom perforations 21a, are individually mounted to' rock on rocker shaft A mountings 28 extending between I-beams 22. The pans 21 are mounted in cascade and are so disposed with relation to each other as to provide a substantial drop between successive pans. The feed and discharge pans, "and the perforated hearth pans thereby form a channel or chute sloping downwardly from the feed to the discharge opening of the'furnace.
Means for rocking the hearth pans 21 on their rocker shaft mountings 28 are provided and comprise a pair of rods 29 attached to supporting `framework 36 at the discharge end of the furmace and extending up through the furnace along the sides of the hearth pans. Near the lower end of. each f said pans are a pair of bell lcrank levers 30 connected to rods 29 and mounted to rotate in mount-ings secured to I-beams 22. Each pair of bell crank levers carries a roller 3| which passes under the lower end of its respective hearth pan whereby rotation ofthe bell crank .lever will lift the lower end if Iits respective pan a small amount'to cause the pan to rock a small distance on its rocker mounting 28.
Collecting pans 4I and 42 for receiving the molten metals and alloys are suitably positioned below hearth structures II and I2 and aresupported by piers or extensions on 1Combustion chambers 1 and 8, respectively. These pans slopetoward one side of the furnace whereby any solder collected in pan 4I will drain into pan 42. 'Ihe moltenmetalsywill Abe drained therefrom by suitable spouts 43 mounted at intervals along the lower edge of pan 42 and feeding into suitable collecting receptacles 44 outside the furnace. i
In the operation of the furnace, the burners 1a and 8a in the combustion chambers 1 and 8 'are yleaving the furnace through stack I0. The driving motor I5 is started whereby the drive shaft I8 is caused to rotate imparting a reciprocating motion to connecting rod 2I by means of the eccentric 20.l A similar motion is imparted to another connecting rod associated with hearth II. 'Ihis motion is transmitted to the hearth structures II and I2 causing them to vibrate or reciprocate longitudinally throughout their length. At each rotation of the drive shaft, rubber bumpy ers 33 strike bumper plate 34 at the end of the 15 downward stroke of the hearths giving a sudden impact tothe hearths when they' .are in their. lowermost position. As the hearth structures are drawn 'to their highest position by connecting rods 2l, the bell crank levers 30 are rotated slightly by bell crank rods 29 causing rollers 3I to lift the lower ends of the hearth pans slightly. On the return stroke these pans are suddenly dropped by the bellcrank mechanism giving a vertical jarring or bouncing action in addition to the previously described: lateral motion and impacts.
Material to be treated, such as scrap internal combustion engine radiators,is placed on feeder vin the hearth pans and onto the solder collecting pans 4I and 42. At the same time the jarring action works the material down thehearth to the discharge end of the furnace.
The molten solder and low melting metals fall- 45 ing on collecting pans 4I and 42 are drained through discharge spout 43 and collected in collecting receptacles 44 outside the furnace.
Thus, by this invention a continuous and substantially complete separation ,and recovery of the low melting materials and alloys is obtained. The low melting materials are collected in a suitable form for reuse and the higher melting materials are continuously removed from the furnace after the separation. 1
