摘要:
Apparatus for removing charging hole covers and for cleaning sealing surfaces is carried by a charging car that is movable along an oven roof of a battery of horizontal coke oven chambers. The apparatus includes a support member carried by guides for vertical movement on the charging car. A pivot head is carried by a shaft to pivot about a first axis on the support member. The first axis is inclined at an angle of 45.degree. to vertical. A magnetic gripper is carried by a shaft to rotate about a second axis on the pivot head. A charging hole frame cleaner includes a cleaning tool carried by a shaft to rotate about a third axis on the pivot head. The second and third axes are disposed in a plane at an angle to one another on opposite sides of the first axis and coplanar with the first axis. The parts are arranged such that the pivot head simultaneously positions a charging hole cover while carried by the gripper in alignment with a cleaner for sealing surfaces on the cover while a cleaner for the charging hole frame and charging hole is aligned for cleaning the sealing surfaces and the charging hole.
摘要:
A furnace has a filling inlet normally closed by a removable cover. An arrangement is disclosed which opens the filling inlet, then fills the interior of the furnace, and then recloses the inlet all in gas-tight and dust-tight manner in order to prevent the free escape of dust and gases to the ambient atmosphere when the cover is removed from the filling inlet. The arrangement includes a housing surrounding the filling inlet and having a discharging port and a first opening separate from the discharging port, and a filling arrangement which is operative for conveying a charge from the discharging port through the interior of the housing and into the filling inlet when the latter is opened. A cover-extracting arrangement is operative for removing and subsequently repositioning the cover. The cover-extracting arrangement includes a hood which has a second opening and which is movable relative to the housing to and from a position in which both of said openings are juxtaposed in sealing relationship so that the interior of the hood can communicate with the interior of the housing. The cover-extracting arrangement also includes an electromagnet which is movable from the interior of the hood through the juxtaposed openings to the interior of the housing at a location adjacent the cover for engaging the latter. The electromagnet is operative for opening and subsequently reclosing the filling inlet. Thus, in accordance with the invention, any dust and gas escaping from the filling inlet towards the ambient atmosphere when the cover is removed from the filling inlet are confined within the respective interiors of the housing and the hood. Advantageously, the arrangement is used in conjunction with a battery of furnaces having respective filling inlets arranged in a row, and the cover-extracting arrangement, as a whole, is movable into sealing engagement with successive ones of the filling inlets for filling successive ones of the furnaces.

Lifting apparatus which enables the lid of, for example a coke oven, to be removed during charging and then replaced has engagement means for the lid carried at the end of an arm. The arm is able to be raised and lowered and to be swung through an arc. The engagement means hook onto the lid or other object to be removed or replaced and the engagement means can oscillate at the end of the arm.

A coal charging hole lid for a coke oven chamber has a plurality of radially arranged grooves in its top surface. A magnet for lifting and seating the lid has a plurality of resiliently biased pins around its periphery that coact with respective grooves in the lid and effect positive rotative action of the lid when it has been reseated in the charging hole.
