Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Verschließen oder Öffnen einer Öffnung, insbesondere Bodenöffnung (10) eines oberhalb der Gicht eines Hochofens angeordneten Materialbunkers (11) mit einem antreibbaren Klappenteller (12), der in eine die Öffnung freigebende Offenstellung und in eine die Öffnung versperrende Schließstellung und umgekehrt bewegbar ist.The invention relates to a device for closing or opening an opening, in particular bottom opening (10) of a material bunker (11) arranged above the gout of a blast furnace with a drivable flap plate (12), in an open position releasing the opening and in an opening obstructing closed position and vice versa is movable.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Klappenteller (12) im Bereich der Öffnung eine lineare Bewegung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Öffnungsebene und distal von der Öffnung eine Schwenkbewegung durchführt.

Figure imgaf001
The invention is characterized in that the flap plate (12) in the region of the opening performs a linear movement substantially perpendicular to the opening plane and distally of the opening a pivoting movement.
