    BACKGROUND
    [0001] The present exemplary embodiment relates to a pump assembly for pumping molten metal. It finds specific application in conjunction with a shaft and impeller assembly for variable pressure pumps for filling molds with deep metal, and will be described with specific reference thereto. However, it will be appreciated that the present exemplary embodiment is also accessible to other similar applications.
    [0002] Sometimes it is necessary to move metals in their liquid or molten form. Molten metal pumps are used to transfer or recirculate molten metal through a pipe system or into a storage vessel. These pumps generally include a motor supported by a base member having an elongated rotating shaft that extends into a cast metal body to rotate an impeller. The base member is submerged in the molten metal and includes a housing or a pump chamber having the impeller located therein. The engine is supported by a platform that is rigidly connected to a plurality of structural columns or by a central support tube that is connected to the base member. The plurality of structural columns and the elongated rotary shaft extend from the motor to the pump chamber submerged in the molten metal within which the impeller is rotated. Rotating the impeller in it causes a direct flow of molten metal.
    [0003] The impeller is mounted inside the chamber on the base member and is supported by bearing rings to act as a wear resistant surface and allow smooth rotation there. Additionally, a radial bearing surface can be provided on the elongated shaft or impeller to prevent excessive vibration of the pump assembly that could lead to inefficiency or even failure of pump components. These pumps were traditionally referred to as centrifugal pumps.
    [0004] Although centrifugal pumps operate satisfactorily for pumping molten metal, they have never found acceptance as a means of filling molten metal molds. Rather, this task was left to electromagnetic pumps, pressurized ovens and shells. Known centrifugal pumps generally control the flow and pressure of molten metal by modulating the impeller rotation speed. However, this control mechanism will experience uneven control of the flow and pressure of molten metal when attempting to transfer molten metal into a mold, such as a shape mold. Irregular control of the flow of molten metal into the shape mold will be especially prevalent when attempting to fill a shape mold for a complicated or complexly formed tool or part. BRIEF DESCRIPTION
    [0005] In one embodiment, the present description relates to a molten metal pump assembly for filling molds with molten metal. The pump assembly comprises an elongated shaft that connects a motor to an impeller. The impeller is housed within a pump chamber of a base member such that rotation of the impeller drags molten metal into the chamber at an inlet and forces molten metal through an outlet of the chamber. The impeller includes a first radial edge spaced from a second radial edge such that the first radial edge is adjacent the elongated shaft. A bearing assembly surrounds the impeller within the chamber, the bearing assembly includes a first bearing adapted to support rotation of the impeller on the first radial edge and a second bearing adapted to support rotation of the impeller on the second radial edge. At least one bypass opening is interposed between one of the first and second bearings and one of the associated first and second radial edges. The bypass opening is operative to manipulate the flow and inlet pressure of molten metal. Molten metal leaks from the chamber through the bypass opening at a predetermined speed as the impeller is rotated such that precise flow control is obtained.
    [0006] In another embodiment of the present description, a method of filling a mold with molten metal is provided. The method comprises rotating an impeller within a chamber. Molten metal is transferred through the impeller to the chamber. A predetermined portion of molten metal leaks through at least one bypass opening from the chamber to the outside of the base. The pour speed allows for precise adjustment of the inlet pressure in relation to an impeller rotation speed. An associated mold is filled with molten metal and is controlled by a programmable control profile.
    [0007] According to yet another embodiment of the present description, a molten metal pump assembly for filling molds with molten metal is provided. The pump assembly comprises an elongated shaft that connects a motor to an impeller. The impeller is housed within a chamber of a base member such that rotation of the impeller drags molten metal into the chamber at an inlet and forces molten metal through an outlet of the chamber. The impeller includes a first radial edge adjacent a first peripheral circumference spaced from a second radial edge adjacent a second peripheral circumference such that the elongated shaft is rigidly connected to the first peripheral circumference.
    [0008] A bearing assembly surrounds the impeller within the chamber and includes a first bearing adapted to support rotation of the impeller on the first radial edge and a second bearing adapted to support rotation of the impeller on the second radial edge. At least one bypass opening is provided in the second peripheral circumference to provide fluid communication between the chamber and a surrounding environment. The bypass opening is operative to allow a predetermined amount of molten metal to leak from the chamber such that precise control of the molten metal inlet flow and pressure is provided at the outlet.
    [0009] One aspect of the present description is an assembly and method of use for a molten metal pump to fill complex molds such that the bypass opening allows for more accurate flow control. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    [00020] It will be understood that the detailed figures are presented for the purpose of illustrating the exemplary embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, it will be appreciated that the drawings are not shown to scale and that portions of certain elements may be exaggerated for clarity and ease of illustration.
    [00021] Referring to Figure 1, an example of a molten metal pump assembly 10 submerged in a bath of molten metal 12 is shown. The molten metal 12, such as aluminum, may be located within a furnace or tank ( not shown). The cast metal pump assembly 10 includes a motor 14 connected to an elongated shaft 16 via a coupling 17. The motor is adapted to run at variable speed by a programmable controller 19, such as a computer or other processor. The elongated shaft 16 is connected to an impeller 22 located in the chamber 18 of a base member 20. The base member 20 is suspended by a plurality of refractory columns 24 connected to a motor support 26. An alternative form of column could be employed where a steel rod surrounded by a refractory lining extends between the motor support and the base member 20.
    [00022] The elongated shaft 16 is rotated by the motor 14 and extends from the motor 14 to the pump chamber 18 submerged in the molten metal 12 within which the impeller 22 is rotated. Rotation of impeller 22 therein causes a directed flow of molten metal 12 through an associated metal dispensing conduit (not shown), such as a riser, adapted for fluid metal flow. The riser for the metal dispensing conduit system is connected to the outlet of the pump chamber 18 which is typically adjacent to a side wall or top wall of the base member. These types of pumps are often referred to as transfer pumps. An example of a suitable transfer pump is shown in U.S. Patent 5,947,705, the description of which is incorporated herein by reference.
    [00023] With reference to Figures 2-6, elements of the molten metal pump assembly 10 of the present description are illustrated. More particularly, the elongated shaft 16 is cylindrical in shape having a rotatable shaft that is generally perpendicular to the base member 20. The elongated shaft has a proximal end 28 which is adapted to be connected to motor 14 by coupling 17 and a distal end 30 which is connected to impeller 22. Impeller 22 is rotatably positioned within pump chamber 18 such that operation of motor 14 rotates the elongated shaft that rotates impeller 22 within pump chamber 18.
    [00024] The base member 20 defines the pump chamber 18 that receives the impeller 22. The base member 20 is configured to structurally receive the refractory columns 24 (optionally comprised of an elongated metal rod within a protective refractory lining) within passages 31. Each passage 31 is adapted to receive the metal rod component of the refractory column 24 to be rigidly connected to a motor support 26. The motor support 26 supports the motor 14 above the molten metal 12.
    [00025] In one embodiment, the impeller 22 is configured with a first radial edge 32 that is axially spaced apart from a second radial edge 34. The first and second radial edges 32, 34 are located peripherally around the circumference of the impeller 2. pump chamber 18 includes a bearing assembly 35 having a first bearing ring 36 axially spaced from a second bearing ring 38. The first radial edge 32 is flush-aligned with the first bearing ring 36 and the second radial edge 34 is flush. aligned with second bearing ring 38. The bearing rings are formed of a material, such as silicon carbide, exhibiting friction bearing properties at high temperatures to prevent cyclical failure due to high frictional forces. The bearings are adapted to support the rotation of the impeller 22 within the base member such that the pump assembly 10 is at least substantially prevented from vibrating. The radial edges of the impeller can be similarly comprised of a material such as silicon carbide. For example, the radial edges of the impeller 22 can be comprised of a silicon carbide bearing ring.
    [00026] In one embodiment, the impeller 22 includes a first peripheral circumference 42 axially spaced from a second peripheral circumference 44. The elongated shaft 16 is connected to the impeller 22 at the first peripheral circumference 42. The second peripheral circumference 44 is oppositely spaced of the first peripheral circumference 44 and aligns with a lower portion 46 of the base member 20. The first radial edge 32 is adjacent the first peripheral circumference 42 and the second radial edge 34 is adjacent the second peripheral circumference 44.
    [00027] In one embodiment, a lower inlet 48 is provided on the second peripheral circumference 44. More particularly, the inlet comprises the annular space of a bird cage style impeller 22. Of course, the inlet may be formed from fans , perforations, annular spaces ("bird cage") or other assemblies known in the art. It will be appreciated that a feed pump assembly or a combination top and bottom feed pump assembly may also be used.
    [00028] As will be evident from the following discussion, a bird cage or perforated impeller can be advantageous in that it includes a defined radial edge that allows an intentional tolerance (or offset opening) to be created with the bird chamber. pump 18. An example of a perforated impeller is provided by U.S. Patent 6,464,458, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
    [00029] Figure 7 illustrates the impeller 22 located within the base member 20. A precise tolerance is maintained between the radial edge 32 of the impeller 22 and the first bearing ring 36 to provide rotational and structural support to the impeller 22 within the chamber 18. The base ring bearing adapter 52 is generally circular and is configured to receive the second bearing ring 38. The base ring bearing adapter 52 and bearing rings of different sizes can be provided on the base member to interact with the impeller 22 such that a deflection opening 60 of a desired size is provided between the bearing ring 38 and the radial edge 34 of the impeller 22. Optionally, it is contemplated that the deflection opening 60 may be provided between the first radial edge 32 and the first bearing ring 36.
    [00030] In one embodiment, the bypass opening 60 is interposed between a portion of the second bearing ring 38 and the second radial edge 34. For example, the bypass opening 60 is a radial space interposed between at least a portion of the second bearing 38 and the second radial edge 34 of impeller 22. The radial clearance is of an intentional tolerance that can be varied to allow for a predetermined casting speed of the molten metal 12.
    [00031] In this regard, it is noted that there is a lubrication opening 62 between the radial edge 32 of the impeller 22 and the bearing ring 36 disposed within the base 20. The lubrication opening is a space provided within which the molten metal is retained to provide a low friction boundary. Lube opening may vary based on relevant alloy components. It is contemplated that the bypass opening will have a width (i.e., a distance between the impeller and the base) of at least about 1.25x the lube opening, or between about 1.5 and 6x the lubrication opening, or between about 2 and 4x the lube opening, or any combination of such ranges.
    [00032] It is also noted that discontinuous aperture width can be employed where relatively fine tolerance regions are interspersed with relatively large offset aperture width regions.
    [00033] For example, the offset opening 60 can be a plurality of removable segmented columns or teeth that are radially positioned around the perimeter of the impeller 22 such that a plurality of teeth maintain contact with the bearing ring 38 during the rotation of impeller 22 while radial spaces interposed between the teeth are configured to allow casting of molten metal 12 at a predetermined rate. In another embodiment, the bypass opening 60 may be provided by a plurality of openings located across the first peripheral circumference 42 of the impeller 22 to allow fluid communication with the chamber 18 and an environment outside the base member. Furthermore, it is contemplated that at least one bypass opening could also be provided downstream of the impeller 22 within the pump chamber 18 adjacent the outlet 50 or could even be located within the riser. This type of bypass opening can be comprised of a perforation(s) made in a pump mounting component. In summary, it is possible to provide a cast metal pump that is functional in filling complex molds and providing a designed leakage path at any point in the pump assembly.
    [00034] Bypass opening 60 is operative to manipulate the flow and inlet pressure of molten metal 12. Bypass opening 60 allows molten metal to leak from pump chamber 18 to an environment outside of base member 20 at a predetermined speed. The leakage of molten metal 12 from pump chamber 18 during operation of pump assembly 10 allows an associated user to precisely adjust the flow rate or volumetric amount of molten metal 12 provided to an associated mold. The rate of pouring molten metal 12 through the bypass opening 60 improves the controllability of molten metal transport 12 and is at least in part due to a coefficient of viscosity of the molten metal 12. That is, in one embodiment, as the viscosity of the molten metal 12 decreases, a size of the bypass opening 60 would also be decreased to obtain the optimum molten metal pouring speed 12.
    [00035] In one embodiment, the offset opening 60 is provided by the second bearing ring 38 such that the second bearing ring 38 includes a larger inner diameter than the first bearing ring 36 in the bearing assembly 35. Under In this aspect, there is a greater space between said radial edge 34 and the second bearing ring 38. In another embodiment, the deflection opening 60 is provided by the impeller 22 such that the second radial edge 34 of the impeller 22 has a diameter. smaller than the first radial edge 32. Here, the first radial edge 32 is contiguously positioned and rotatably supported on the first bearing ring 36 within the pump chamber 18 to form the relatively narrower lubrication opening while there is a bypass opening between the second bearing ring 38 and the second radial edge 34. Of course, an opening in the upper side can be created by reversing the dimensions described above.
    [00036] In one embodiment, the pump assembly includes the ability to statically position molten metal 12 pumped through outlet 50 and into a riser at approximately 457.2 mm (1.5 feet) of inlet pressure above a cast metal body 12. In one embodiment, the impeller rotates approximately at 850-1000 revolutions per minute such that the molten metal is statically held at approximately 457.2 mm (1.5 feet) above the cast metal body 12 The bypass opening 60 manipulates the volumetric flow - inlet pressure ratio of the pump 10 such that a greater amount of revolutions per minute of the impeller 22 would allow the inlet pressure to be reduced as the flow of molten metal 12 is increased. This relationship is schematically illustrated by the graph in Figure 8.
    [00037] Precise control for the amount of molten metal 12 provided to an associated mold is obtained by positioning the bypass opening 60 between the bearing assembly 35 and the impeller 22. More particularly, in one embodiment, the motor 14 is operated by a programmable drive rpm profile, as illustrated in Figure 9. A drive rpm profile is programmed into a controller to electrically communicate with the motor to rotate the impeller and force molten metal through outlet 50 and into the conduit. dispensing metal such that the outlet of the metal dispensing conduit is fitted to an associated mold. The programmable drive RPM profile varies a signal to the motor in relation to the volumetric fill speed and associated mold geometry.
    [00038] Referring to Figure 10, in one embodiment, an associated mold (not shown) includes a riser or a generally complex geometric area to be filled by molten metal 12, such as aluminum. The riser or metal dispensing conduit (not shown) is adapted to fill the associated mold with aluminum from the pump assembly 10. The pump assembly 10 is programmed with a drive RPM profile, as illustrated in Figure 10, which is associated with the internal geometric volume of the associated mold. This profile controls a drive voltage in motor 14 to rotate impeller 12 at a predetermined rotational speed to fill the associated mold in accordance with shape mold limits 1-5 at predetermined times. More particularly, the bypass opening 60 allows for an increase in the magnitude of command RPM required to provide the necessary inlet pressure of molten metal 12 to the associated mold. This assembly and this method will be advantageous when filling associated molds to form complex parts within molds with a complicated geometric arrangement is achieved as more precise adjustment of an amount of molten metal 12 provided by the pump assembly 10. Examples of molded parts Suitable for casting using the pump assembly described here include engine blocks, wheels and cylinder heads, but are not limited to these.
    [00039] The exemplary embodiment has been described with reference to preferred embodiments. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to one skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the foregoing detailed description. It is intended that the exemplary embodiment be construed as including all such modifications and alterations to the extent that they are within the scope of the appended claims or equivalents thereto.
