9 Claims. (Cl. 158-274) This invention relates to novel blowpipes embodying this mixing principle, including particularly blowpipes made for use with glass working heads.
Heretofore, the mixing of the combustible and combustion-supporting gases in blowpipes has been accomplished either by the well known positive pressure or injector methods. In the case of both of these methods a long mixing chamber is required before intimate mixing is achieved. In addition, these blowpipes employ mixers which are fitted into a removable tip thereby necessitating the removal of the tip for mixer replacement.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved apparatus for gas mixing in a blowpipe so that an intimate mixture of gases may be attained without the need for a long mixing chamber required by blowpipes of the prior art.
Another object is to provide for a novel blowpipe wherein the mixer is readily accessible for the purposes of cleaning or changing mixer size, and wherein the flashback resistance is improved.
A further object is to provide for a novel blowpipe wherein the mixer can be inserted by hand without the need for wrenches, and wherein metal-to-metal seats are eliminated.
A still further object is to provide for sealing means to prevent leakage either between the gas passages or between either gas passage and the atmosphere.
Other advantages and aims of the invention will be apparent from the following description.
Briefly, the invention comprises introducing a combustible and a combustion-supporting gas into opposite sides of a confined shallow chamber, deflecting said gas streams radially inward within the chamber so that the gases meet head-on within the chamber thereby producing turbulence, impingement and an intimate mixture.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a blowpipe embodying the invention taken along the line 1--1 of Fig. 2, parts being in elevation; and
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 22 of Fig. 1, part being broken away to show sealing ring construction.
One form of apparatus, as shown in the drawing, comprises a blowpipe body B having an inlet 0 for oxygen and an inlet F for fuel gas. The body B has a cavity of axially aligned stepped borings comprising the cylindrical cavity C of relatively large diameter extending in from the rear end of the body into which the mixer M is inserted, the throat T of relatively small diameter extending forward from the center of cavity C, and a divergent passage D extending forward from throat T.
The mixer M is a cylindrical member with two longitudinally spaced annular gas cavities 3 and 8 separated from each other and each end of the mixer by sealing means 12 fitted in similar annular cavities 13. The mixer has parallel-spaced longitudinal borings 5 and severally communicating between the annular gas cavities 3 and 8 Patented Aug. 21, 1956 and opposite sides of a shallow circular counterboring 6 which has a flat surface axially positioned at the base (insert end) of the mixer. The non-insert end of the mixer is provided with a knurled plug P and thread 1 for hand inserting the mixer in the body with a tight fit until the annular lip 15 surrounding counterboring 6 abuts against the base surface 14 of cavity C to form the mixing chamber between the counterboring and the front surface of cavity C.
The diameter of the mixer M is less than that of the cavity into which it is inserted by a very small clearance, thereby allowing easy hand insertion and tightening and use of the sealing rings.
In operation, the fuel gas, for example natural gas or coke-oven gas, from the inlet F passes through the radial boring 2 in the body to the cavity formed between the annulus 3 and the side walls of the body cavity C, enters the radial metering port 4 in the mixer, the longitudinal boring 5, and is discharged into the mixing chamber formed between the shallow counterboring 6 and the base surface 14 of the mixer-holding cavity of the body.
Concurrently, the combustion-supporting gas, for example oxygen, from inlet 0 passes through radial boring 7 in the body to the cavity formed between annulus S and the internal side Walls of the body cavity, enters the radial metering port 9 in the mixer, the longitudinal boring 10, and is discharged into the mixing chamber formed between the shallow counterboring 6 and the base surface 14 of the mixer-holding cavity of the body.
The streams of oxygen and fuel gas entering at opposite sides of the mixing chamber are deflected by the base and walls of the chamber so that they are directed radially inward at each other within the confines of the chamber producing turbulence and an intimate mixture of the gases. The mixture so formed passes through the throat T and the divergent passage D to an appropriate heating head or tip, such as a conventional annular glass cut-off head (not shown), which may be connected to the body of the blowpipe by means of threads 11.
The diameter of throat boring T should be sufliciently large that it will allow the mixed gases to freely pass from the mixing chamber as mixing progresses, but not so large that it will not leave a surface 14 at the base of the body cavity sufiicient to provide inward deflection of the gases entering from borings 5 and 10.
Prior to mixing, sealing means is provided to prevent leakage between the combustion-supporting and fuel gas passages and between either of these passages and the atmosphere.
In the specific embodiment shown in the drawing sealing is accomplished by the use of resilient 0 rings 12 (made of rubber or an equivalent material) which are fitted into annuli 13 at the previously disclosed location in the mixer. This arrangement allows for a tight sealing as well as a mixer that is easily removable in a hand operation. However, the sealing between gases my be accomplished under the present invention by use of equivalent sealing means fitted either on the mixer or the internal walls of the body cavity.
In the blowpipe of the present invention the flashback resistance is improved by designing the blowpipe so as to accomplish what is called wire drawing effect. This is brought about by providing for small diameter mixer metering ports 4 and 9 as well as long, small diameter longitudinal borings 5 and 10 (relative to the dimensions of the mixing chamber).
When using the apparatus described above, a satisfactory flame has been produced by directing oxygen and coke-oven gas at about 5.0 pounds per square inch through longitudinal bores 5 and 10 of 0.052 inch diameter spaced 0.2 inch apart center-to-center into a cylindrical-mixing chamber having a depth of 0.015 inch and a diameter of 0.325 inch, and then discharging the resultant mixture through an axial throat of 0.07 inch diameter and 0.25 inch length into a divergent nozzle passage having a maximum diameter of 0.172 inch and a length of 1.625 inches, and thence into a heating head (in this example a glass working head). The oxygen metering port diameter was 0.0156 inch and the combustible gas metering port diameter was 0.0135 inch. For this mixer the gas flow would be 15 cubic feet per hour for the coke-oven gas and 17.8 cubic feet per hour for the oxygen. In contrast with this the best blowpipes used heretofore have required a length of about 6 inches between the mixing chamber and the heating head to assure adequate mixing.
