Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fuel charging apparatus for large furnaces, particularly for furnaces burning rubbish and refuse.
  • vIt is known to provide superimposed relatively movable rams for receiving fuel from a chute and pushing it into a furnace. It is also known to drive the grate bars of step .grates so that one grate bar is moved by another grate bar after the latter has moved through a predetermined distance.
  • the charging apparatus according to the invention can be used for burning extremely bulky matter as well as for burning matter consisting of small individual pieces.
  • the chargingV apparatus comprises superimposed relatively movable rams and drive means for continuously reciprocating one ram and including adjustable lost motion means for reciprocating the ,second ram either continuously with tlhe first ram or intermittently and at shorter and adjustable strokes than the rst ram, depending on the setting of the adjustable lost motion means.
  • one ram is continuously reciprocated and the second ram is driven by a catch fast on the first ram and engaging an abutment adjustably mounted on the second ram.
  • the catch will engage the abutment sooner or later during the movement of the rst ram in one direction and, upon engagement with the abutment, will take the second 11am along for the rest of the movement ⁇ of the rst ram in said direction.
  • a stationary abutment may be provided against which the adjustable abutment abuts after moving in one direction and against which an abutment fast on the second ram abuts after the second ram has moved through a predetermined distance in the opposite direction.
  • the feeding eiect of the apparatus can be controlled according to the character of the refuse. It has been found that with conventional arrangements of superimposed relatively movable rains cavities are formed by the material to be Mice charged in front of the lower ram which cavities are not immediately filled by matter pushed forward by the upper ram.
  • the invention makes it possible to so adjust the movement of the upper ram relative to the lower ram that these cavities are iilled from above and not by compressing the matter in front of the lower ram. In this way the refuse reaches the furnace in a loose condition, permitting passage of air without forming large cavities. Compacting of the refuse as experienced with conventional charging apparatus and wthich hinders passage of combustion air is avoided by the apparatus according to the invention.
  • FIG. l is a schematic sectional view of an apparatus according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 2 to 6 are schematic sectional views of a modified apparatus according to the invention in live different operating positions.
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic top View of the apparatus shown lin FIGS. 2 to 6.
  • numeral 1 designates a lower ram having two steps and numeral 2 designates an upper ram also having two steps.
  • the refuse to be burnt arrives in a chute 16 and is consecutively pushed by the rams 2 and 1 over a step 22 into a combustion chamber 18.
  • the lower ram 1 is reciprocated by means of a connecting rod 3 having an end pivotally connected thereto and having a second end pivotally connected to la guide or rocker arm 5 which is rocked by a crank drive.
  • the upper ram 2 is connected to the guide 5 by a connecting rod 4 having an end pivotally connected to the ram 2 and having a second end guided in an o'blong hole 19 in the guide 5. In this way the upper ram is moved only during a fraction of the time the lower ram is moved and the extent of movement of the upper ram is smaller than that of the lower ram.
  • the angle of this slope is designated by the letter a in FIG. 1.
  • the lower ram 1 preferably operates out- .side ofthe slope formed by the rubbish. With this 4arrangement only the upper ram on which rests the weight of the rubbish in the chute moves rubbish outside of the natural slope whereas the lower ram spreads the rubbish supplied by the upper ram and merely transports it but does not pull rubbish out of the chute.
  • the slot 19 By making the slot 19 of different length, for example, by providing an adjustable abutment 19 therein, the distance along which the upper ram pulls rubbish from the chute can be changed.
  • the lower ram 1 forms only one step and is reciprocated by means of a connecting rod 3 which is actuated by a rocker arm 5.
  • the upper ram 2 is not directly driven by the rocker arm S but is reciprocated by the lower ram to which it is operatively connected by means of suitable abutments.
  • a catch 6 is rigidly connected to the ram 1.
  • Abutments 7 and 8 are rigidly connected to the ram 2.
  • At least one threaded spindle 12 is rotatably supported by the upper ram 2.
  • the spindle can be rotated by manipulating a handwheel 13 (FIGURES 6 and 7) which is operatively connected to the spindle 12 by a suitable conventional drive mechanism. Axial movement of the spindle 12 is prevented by collars 14 placed on the spindle on either side of a bearing 15.
  • a nut element 9 is screwed on the threaded portion of the spindle 12. Rotation of the element 9 is Lprevented. by providing the element with a surface slidably engaging a surface ofthe ram 2.
  • a stationary abutment 10 adapted to be abutted by the abutment S and by the nut element 9 limits the extent of reciprocating movement of the ram 2.
  • the rear portions of the rams 1 and 2 are supported by rollers 20 and 21, respectively, which may be mounted on the rail forming the abutment 10.
  • FIG. 2 shows the apparatus in position for stroke length Zero of the upper ram.
  • the nut element 9 is in its rearmost position'and abuts against one side of the abutment itl. The other side of the latter is abutted by the abutment 3.
  • the lower ram 1 is free to move through the distance a.
  • FG. 3 shows the lower ram 1 in its foremost position to which it has been moved while the upper ram 2 remained in the position shown in FIG. 2.
  • the catch 6 moves between its end positions shown in FIGURES 2 and 3 without" ⁇ moving the upper ram 2.
  • FIG. shows the apparatus in position when, during,
  • the catch 6 abuts against the abutment 7 withfunchanged position of the element 9 relative to the abutment 7.
  • the catch 6 may bekmade fast on the upper ram 2 and an element 9 may be adjustably mounted on the lower ram l.
  • the stationary abutment may not be in the form of a rail extending over the entire width of the rams, but may be formed by short elements 10 as schematically shown in FIG. 7.
  • Charging apparatus for large furnaces, particularly for burning refuse comprising at least two relatively movable superimposed rams, drive means for reciprocatingly moving one of said rams, a catch rigidly connected to one Vof said rams, an abutment connected to the second of said 6 rams, and means connected to the second ram and to said abutment for adjusting the position of said abutment relative to the second ram, said catch being adapted to abut against said abutment for moving, by said ram moved by said drive means, vthe other ram through a distance defined by the position of said abutment.
  • Charging apparatus for large furnaces, particularly 5 for burning refuse comprising two superimposed rams individually movable inparallel directions, drive means for reciprocatingly moving one of said rams, a catch rigidly connected tov one of said rams, a spindle having a threaded portion and being rotatably supported by the 10 second ram parallel to the direction of movability of said rams, a nut element screwed on said threaded portion and slidably abutting said second ram for preventing rotation of said element and affording movement of said element longitudinally of said spindle upon rotation of the latter, said catch and said element each having a portion movable on a common path and adapted to abut each other for moving, by said ram moved by said drive means, the other ram through a distance' defined by the position of said nut element.
  • Charging apparatus as defined in claim 2 including aV stationary abutment, said nut element lbeing placedbetween said catch and'said stationary abutment.
  • Charging apparatus including an abutment fast on the ram supporting said spindle, said catch being interposed between said last mentioned abutment and said nut element.
