CAR FOR QUENCHI'NG COKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented oct. 17., 1r 1.

Application tiled February 13, i909. Serial No. 477,550.

To all whom-it may concern:

`lic it lcnown that I, Hass Rius, a subject of the lhupcror of Germany, and resident of Munich, Bavaria, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cars for Quenching- Coke, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a car adapted for use in conjunction with retorts or gasifying Vchambers in which coke is produced.

My improved car comprises a quenching trough adapted to receive the coke as it is discharged from the retort or furnace and a quenching and conveying channel to whichthe partly quenched coke is transferred from said quenching trough and in which such coke is quenched completclyto be finally' discharged into a pit or the like.

The Invention also co11teniplntes-the division or spreading of theolte' as it passes into the quenching trough to facilitate the quenching action and also devices for regu` lating the amount' of partly quenched coke :losing from the trough to the conveyor. he traveling motion of the car, the operation of the conveyor and the actuation ,of the doors closing the outlets of the ret `ts or furnace, are preferably accomplished ,by means of motors located upon the car. 1

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate an embodiment of lny`1nventio'n, Figuresl and 1 together represent a front elevation of the car with parts in section; Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof with parts in section illustrating the eo eration of certaindevices on`the car With Coors of the furnace, and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the car partly in section.

The frame 1 of the Acaris supported by suitable trucks having wheels 2 arranged to travel on rails 3 between which is located the pit 4, so that the car travels over the pit.4

Upon the car is located the quenching trough 5 in which the coke receives a partial quenching, and a channel 6 in which the quenching of the coke is completed as de/ scribed hereinafter.

A suitable shell f is provided on the sides and on the top of the car. The steam which is formed in the trough 5 upon the uenching of the coke, escapes through a c iimney or funnel 8. v 4

The width of the quenching trough 5 eorresponds to that of the furnace chamber or 'chamber 9 theguenchingtrough 5 Vis pmvided retort 9, saidtrough being of rectangular shape, open at thc top, and having hollow side wal s 10 and 11 respectively adapted to contain-water. The bottom of thequench ing trough 5 is closed partly hy a pivoted plate 12 and partly hy a` slide 13. This slide is provided with a rack 14 engaged by a pinion l5 which may he. operated by turn. ing a hand-Wheel 16 thus moving the slide 13 up or down and regulating the size of the opening left hetween the plate 12 and the lower edge of the slide 1-3. By swinging the plate 12 to the right? as'indicated by dotted lues in Fig. 1, the tzolreinstead of passing out from the uench-ingt'roug-h to the channel 6, ma be 4ischarged into a chute 1T and thus renc i the pit 4 without further quenching. As a rule, however, the plate 12 isiin the position indicated bA full hues in Fi 1; and the coke passes -rom the q'uench ng trough 5to a roller 18, which extends the" 75 full width of the channel 6 and is provided with bars 19 to engage and feed the colto. 4From this roller` the coke passes to the conf" veyer 2O which carries the coke u Ward along the inclined channel 6 and nally drops the ycoke into the pit 4 through thaV outlet or spout 21. The frame 1 is provided with supports 22 cnrryin a reservoir 23 adapted to receive water rom a stationary main 24 (see Fig.' 2) with which said reservoir may be brought into registry.` The rescrvoir 23 is connected byA a pipe 25 with a larger reservoir 26 located u on the plat' form 27 of the car. AFrom tlie bottom of the reservoir 26 a pipe 28 leadsdownward,

passing through the side -wall 29 ofthe car' and then communicating with two pipes 30 located at aright angle to the pipe 28 and connected with spraying pipes 31 exten ing above the channel 6 andarrangedx' spray water on the coke traveling in said: c annel. The pipes-30 are also connecte# with the hollow wall 11 'of ther mienchfltl"-Qf.,V trough, which like the wall 10 is providedla y 10Q- its up er rtion with openirtgsl `for di f. 'chargiirig gils @fwn-ter. The two bollo t walls l'and lffare connected b s. pipew.4

On the side which is toward t le retort; or

with an incline 34 adapted to register with a chute 35 secui'cdjc thefurnace. Onthou incline 34 is provideda wedgefshaped ,-H right. blade or ridge 36, which serves telg-E 'atA videand distribute the coke as it passes from thefurnaoe to the quenching trough, therebyincreaslng the efficiency of the quenching jets discharged through the openings 32.` The partially quenched coke then passes out through the o ening at the bottom o the trough 5, either irect to the chute 17, or in the general operation, to the roller 18 and 35 and the incline 34.

the conveyer 20; in the latter case the coke is further quenched by the jets discharged from the pipes 3l, as indicated in Fig. 1.

The door 37 of the retort 9 is opened and closed by means of the motor 38 carried by the platform 27. The said door swings about the axis 39 located at its upper end and is held in the 'closed position by a toothed wheel 40 enga ring a vrack bar 41 at the lower end of the oor. When it is dcsired to open the door, the rack bar 41is first released from the'pinion 40 by turnin this pinion by means of the worm 42 in a direction contrary to that used in closing the door. The worm 42 is carried by a shaft 43, which may be rotated by means of the clutch 44-45 from a shaft 46 carried by the car and driven from the motor 38 by means of gearing 47 and suitable connections.

The door 37 carries a bracket 83 pivoted at 82, the downward movement of said bracket being limited by a stop 84, so that normally the bracket extends in a horizontal direction, or approximately so, as shown in Fig. 2. The forwardend of the bracket 83 is adapted to be engaged by a hook 85 sccured to the chain 48 so that the hook may be raised or lowered, being preferably guided in a channel 86. The chain 48 passes over a s rocket 49 and has its free end se -ired to the rame of the car in such a manner that it may follow thev movement of the door in opening and closing it. The sprocket 49 is carried by a horizontal shaft .30 journaled in the supports 22. At one end of this shaft is secured a sprocket 51 driven oy a chain 52 from a sprocket 53 on the shaft 54. rthis shaft is driven from the motor 38 by means of a reversing clutch of any suitable character, that is to say, the shaft 54 can be driven in one direction or the other. It will he understood that by driving the shaft 54 in the-proper direction the hook 85 will be raised thus ulling the door 37 into the open lpsition in icatetl by dotted lines in Fig. 2.

he coke will then pass from the chamber 9 to the quenching trough 5 over the chute The lnotor 38,.'is also used to propel `the car. For this purpose a sprocket 55, which may be driven by the motor, is connected by a chain 56 with a sprocket 57 mounted on a shaft 58 in the lower art of thecar. This shaft also carries pmions 59 engaging gear wheels 60 mounted on the axle 61 of one pair of wheels 2. Ins-this manner fthe car may be caused .4 E V i l x to travel in one direction or the other, such movement being under the control of the motor 38, which may be operated by an attendant seated or standing on the car. T he car may thus be brought into registry with the several retorts of a bench.

The conveyor chain 20 is preferably driven by a separate motor 63 located on the lower platform 62 of the car. This motor drives a train of gearing i4-G5, the latter wheel being mounted ori a shaft 66 which also carries two pairs of sprockets 67-68. The sprockets 67 are connected b chains 69 with sprockets 70 on the shait 71; th" sprockets 68 are connected by chains 72 with sprockets 73 at the ends of the roller 18. The convever 20 consists of several chains connected by cross bars (this being a Well known construction) 'and is guided by sprockets 74 (see Fig. 3) and 75 at the upper and lower portions respectively of the inclined channel 6. It will thus be seen that the roller 18 and the convcyer 20 are driven in unison and at a constant ratio relatively to each other. These parts should be operated at a relatively low speed. Above thc quenching trough 5 is arranged a folding door 76, made of two pivoted sections, which may be swung upward as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1 so as to clear the opening above the quenching trough and thus to allow 4the coke to pass from the chamber' 9 to'thc quenching trough. Tothe shaft 50 is also secured a roller 77 on which is wound a rope 78, the lower end of which has secured to it a number of removable weights 79 moving up and down in a cylinder 80. At the bottom of the cylinder is located a spring bu'er 81. These weights 79 serve as a countcrbalance for the door 37 so that its opening and closinr may be effected easily. By the remova or addition of weights the proper amount of count/erbalance is secured.

I claim as my invention:

1. A car 'for quenching coke, provided 4nel and a discharge chute each in receiving relation to said trough, and means for directin4 the coke from the ltrough either to' said c, ute or to the quenching channel.

2. In a coke quenching trough of the class described in combination, a quenching trough, oppostely arranged means for supplying a quenching medium, and an incline for feeding coke into said trough, said ineline being provided with a V shaped ridge directed oppositcly to the direction of feed for dividing the coke supply and causing it to mov'e toward said means -for supplying quenching mediumsubstantially as and for the purpose described.

3. In a. coke quenching trough of the class described in combination, a quenching with a quenching trough, a quenching chanlow Walls, and an inc ine at an end of said trough for feedingr coke thereto said incline being provided wlth a V shaped ride dif rected (gJpositely to the direction o feed for divi ing the coke supply and causing it to move toward said lateral perforations,

substantially as and for the purpose de: v10 scribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing wltnesses.
