Definitions

  • a Shaft furnace P u r y a blast furnace which is operated at high pressures includes a furnacghead having a top pan with a distributor bell therein which is movable upwardly to close the: top pan to permit an accumulation of charging material 'thereover and which may be moved downwardly to provide an annular charging opening for the material to drop off the bell into. the furnace.
  • the construction includes a charging hopper which may be arranged above the furnace and located to receive a charge of material, for example, by delivery on a carriage which moves over the skip-type conveyor.
  • the charging hopper includes a lowermost portion with a rotatable distributor pipe which has an eccentric opening to permit the rotatable distribution of charging material downwardly into a locking chamber which is arranged between the hopper and the chamber defined by the top pan of the .furnacehead which is closed by the distributor bell.
  • the lock chamber includes openable and closeable flaps at its lower end which when closed permit the accumulation of ;a material in the, chamber and it is also sealed in a gas tight manner by a displaceable valve member which is mounted on a pivot shaft so that it can be moved to a position offset from the locking chamber to permit the unhindered downward flow of the material from the lock chamber into the furnace above the distributor lbell during charging periods.
  • the top of the lock chamber is closed by a valve member which may be opened by displacing it into an offset chamber portion out of the way of the flowing material to open the passage between the ho er d thel k chamb h 'nlet valve to the IOCRC Cha IbEI, at fie top the r eoi, is opened when the pressure in the lock chamber returns substantially to atmospheric pressure.

  • This invention relates in general to the construction of metallurgical "furnaces, and in particular, to a new and useful shaft furnace, particularly a blast furnace which is operated by the high pressure method and which-includes a hopper arranged above the furnace top and which discharges intoa lock chamber arranged between the hopper and the furnace top and which includes valve means for sealing the top and bottomof the lock chamber and which maybe selectively opened to permit a charge of material to enter into the chamber from the hopper through a rotatable distributmg pipe.
  • Such a lock chamber includes sealing flaps or valves which are characterized by an arrangement inwhich the sealing edge of the flaps as well as the sealing flap are arranged in an opened position outside the path of the charging material. The wear otherwise occuring in the bells can be avoided and a lock chamber which isequipped with sealing flaps is superior to the system of two bells cooperating with top pans.
  • the conical form of the top pan of the furnace enhances the distribution of the charging material. But even the double cone form of the top pan and the top of the distributing bell is not sufficient to distribute the material uniformly over the bell without considerable separation into fine and coarse grains.
  • a rotatable discharge hopper is associated with the upper bell. The material conveyed over the skip gear is delivered to the hopper which provides some distribution of the material. It is known also to obtain a better distribution by a distributor with eccentric discharge ports arranged above the discharge hopper. The separation of the charging material which is to be avoided however, is generally achieved by reducing the number of impact surfaces to a minimum.
  • a discharge hopper, a revolving chute and the like, the upper bell and the lowerbell produce impact surfaces of different angles so that the separation of the material is very pronounced.
  • a uniform surface operation is enhanced by controlled separation.
  • the controlled separation should take place first on the distributing gear in the furnace chamber. An earlier separation into fine and coarse grain material is therefore a disadvantage.
  • the two bell system of the known bell and hopper arrangement provides a sealing effect which suffices only at the start of the furnace operation, and the top bells wear out so that they must be replaced after some time and this has an additional disadvantage.
  • the fitted socket stands for supporting rods which are arranged centrally and concentrically of the charging bells are located in the path of the charging material.
  • the passage of thesocket stem to the lower bell acts as a distributor and requires a suspension rod arrangement which is streamlined to permit an even flow of material and which must be designedsufficientlylarge enough to support the great weight of the bell and the charged material.
  • the suspension arrangement however, provides an unfavorable influence on the flow of the material at several points around the distributor head and thus separations of the material are unavoidable.
  • the known blast furnaces include a hopper arranged above the top including two superposed top bellswhich act together adjacent the top pans to form a lock chamber from which the charging material can be fed to a lower bell which acts as a distributing gear in the furnace chamber.
  • These furnaces have two main disad vantages: First the sealing effect of the bell is insufficient and second the introduction of the charging material produces undesirable effects on the furnace operation. v
  • a shaft furnace which is suitable for charging material at the necessary higher pressures for meeting furnace operation requirements.
  • the invention provides an additional distributing gear arranged in front of the inlet port of a lock chamber which is located between the charging hopper and the furnace head.
  • the free interior of the lock chamber is provided with a lower end which tapers inwardly or includes a constriction toward the discharge port to permit the accumulation of the charging material above this location.
  • the distributing gear for the charged material is not arranged above the discharge hopper but directly in front of the inlet port of the lock chamber underneath the charging hopper. Since no bars and the like are provided for securing the distributor bell in the lock chamber, there is no discharge edge for the charged material.
  • the material from the skip elevator which arrives in the discharge hopper is collected in the hopper and periodically discharged therefrom through the rotatable distributor gear into the lock chamber.
  • the material may be collected in the lock chamber over the constriction thereof and, depending on the state of filling, avoids major slope angles of movement of the material.
  • the material is subsequently directed over the distributor bell in the top pan of the furnace head and only after this does the separation of the material take place on the charging surface of the distributor bell when the latter is lowered to permit the falling of the charge into the furnace.
  • the arrangement of the distributing gear between the hopper and the locking can thus travel through the lock chamber vertically partly in free fall and partly in a type of movement characteristic of this material. No separation takes place during the free fall. Separations are also generally avoided during the vertical travel with minor transverse movements.
  • the lock chamber is provided with a lateral passage to accommodate the rotatable drive for a valve member which seals the upper inlet opening of the chamber in a closed position but which may be rotated with the gear into the offset chamber in an opened position at which all of the operating mechanism is out of the path of downward movement of the material.
  • a similar lateral chamber arrangement is arranged in the furnace head above the top pan in order to accommodate a valving mechanism for closing the lower end of the lock chamber.
  • the height of the total bell and the hopper arrangement may be reduced, and
  • the adjacent parts of the distributing gear can be attached closer to the inlet port of the lock chamber.
  • the lateral compartment affords room for bringing the sealing valve member outside the path of the dropping charging material to avoid damage of the valve mechanism.
  • the distributing gear for rotating the eccentric pipe is advantageously contained outside the hopper and above the lock chamber.
  • the diameter of the inlet port of the lock chamber is made large enough to accommodate the rotatable path of movement of the outlet opening of the distributor pipe which is mounted for eccentric rotation.
  • a slanted furnace column can already be influenced by the distributing gear. For example, a position of the rotatable pipe corresponding to the slanted burden column can be temporarily maintained.
  • the charging material drops then on one side of the lock chamber to a higher amount than flows correspondingly unilaterally to the distributor bell in the furnace chamber.
  • the invention arrangement also provides a storage possibility and the charged material can be filled into the hopper above the rotatable distributor gear.
  • the hopper can be suitably constructed to form a wide bin for storage of the charged material at such location.
  • the rotary drive for the distributor gear is secured on the hopper and encased by a housing in a dust proof fashion.
  • the dust containing top gas which issues from the port of the lock chamber can therefore not get into the driving case for the distributing gear. Stress by radiant heat is likewise avoided and dlffiCIllt sealing points need not be sealed such as by scavenging gas.
  • an improved charging apparatus for a shaft furnace particularly blast fumaces which includes a hopper for the charging material which discharges through a distributing gear into a lock chamber which is arranged above a furnace head and which terminates in a discharge opening at its lower end which may be sealed against the furnace by suitable valving means, the hopper including a distributing gear for distributing the material uniformly into the lock chamber and the lock chamber having means for facilitating the accumulation of the charged material therein prior to its delivery into the furnace head.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a lock chamber construction having valve means at each end with rotatable parts which may be moved between opened and closed positions and which in an open position are contained in an offset chamber out of the way of the flowing charge material and which is advantageously oriented in a position between a supply hopper having a distributor gear and the charging head of the furnace.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a furnace charging apparatus construction which is simple in design, rugged in construction, and economical to manufacture.
  • the invention embodied therein comprises a material charging apparatus for a furnace, generally designated 50, which includes a hopper 3 which is located above a furnace head 25 and which is supplied with material, for example, from a carriage or car 52-which is movable along the skip type conveyor 1 on wheels 2.
  • the charging material moves downwardly into a sloping hopper portion 4 and is delivered into a rotatable pipe 5 of a distributing gear generally designated 6.
  • the rotatable pipe 5 has an eccentric outlet portion 44.
  • the pipe 5 is mounted in a drive case 45 which is sealed at its top against the hopper portion 4 and is sealed at its bottom with the gear chamber proper 47 by means of a sealing ring 46.
  • a flanged-housing motor 48 is mounted on the.
  • the distributing gear 6 is advantageously fastened on the rear side of the hopper 4 so that if any repair is necessary the entire distributing gear can be removed from the hopper and exchanged very rapidly.
  • a lock chamber 8 is provided, between the discharge opening 44 from the hopper 3 and the inlet to the furnace head which connects into a top pan 56 which is closed at a lower conical portion 15 by a distributor bell of conical configuration.
  • the lock chamber 8 includes an inlet opening or port 9 at its top end and an outlet opening or port 12 at its lowermost end and these two openings are advantageously aligned vertically.
  • Closing and sealing valve means are associated with each of the openings 9 and 12 and include an upper sealing valve
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken along the line 22 of FIG.
  • the upper sealing valve mechanism 10 includes a valve cover plate or closure member 7 which is carried on a lever arm 33 which is affixed to a shaft 32 for rotatable movement therewith.
  • the shaft 32 is rotated by means of a fluid drive in the form of a fluid piston and cylinder combination 35 which is connected to a lever 34a at a pivot connection 34; and which may swing the arm 33 between the solid line and dotted line positions indicated, i.e., from a closed position to an opened position. ln the open position the arm 33 and theclosure plate 7 are in the dotted line position at which they are contained within an offset chamber 30 defined at the top end of the lock chamber 8.
  • the opening of the sealing flap 7 is affected in a known manner by pressure equalization.
  • the pressure building up in the lock chamber 8 during the charging proper of the furnace chamber is released so thatatmospheric pressure prevails in the lock chamber 8 at the time that the valve member 7 is moved away from its seat. This permits the easy opening of the valve member 7 to permit the downwardflow of the material from the hopper portion 4 and the accumulation of the material into a charge supply 11 above a constriction or narrowed portion 27 of the lock chamber 8.
  • valve member 13 of the valve mechanism 40 At the time of charging the outlet port 12 is closed by a valve member 13 of the valve mechanism 40.
  • the valve member 36 engages with its sealing edge 13 on an annular sealing face 54 defined at the upper end of the top pan 56.
  • a shaft 42 carries a cranked arm 37 which carries the valve member 13 and which is rotatable on the shaft 42 between the solid line position and the dotted line position indicated. In the dotted line opened position, the valve crank arm 37 and the valve member 13 together with the shaft 42 are all contained within an offset chamber 43 so that none of these parts will interfere with the easy downward flow of the charged material from the lock chamber 8 into the top pan 56 for accumulation in an annular form above the distributor bell 14.
  • the sealing flap 7 When the sealing flap 7 is closed, and repair is necessary to the distributing gear, there will be no annoyance by'the exiting of any gas during the repair work.
  • the sealing flap 7 seals the lock chamber 8 in a gas tight manner so that operating personnel can readily make any necessary repairs in this location.
  • the shaft furnace charging device is therefore particularly safe and can be readily manipulated in case of trouble.
  • the volume of material which the lock chamber 8 can hold will depend on the size of the shaft furnace. For medium and large furnaces, the lock chamber can be designed to hold 12 cubic meters or more. This supply suffices to be discharged to the conical heap over the distributor bell l4.'The top pan 56 defines a chamber which is much larger than the lock chamber 8 so that two or more fillings of the lock chamber 8 can be discharged onto the top of the distributor bell 14 al is achieved which is adapted to the furnace operation. Only after this correct charging amount is accumulated above the distributor bell 14, is the distributor bell lowered.
  • the distributor bell 14 is supported on suspension rod assemblies 38 and 39 which connect at their lower ends .to respective ends of a bridge member 14a which is retained within the hollow bell and which provides a universal joint support 58 for the bell.
  • the suspension. rods 38 and 39 advantageously enter into the bell-from diametrically opposite sides adjacent the apex of the bell and protective coverings 60 for the suspension rods cooperate with projecting portions 62 of the bell to define smooth flowing surfaces over which the material may be directed.
  • the suspension rods 38 and 39. are connected to driving mechanism for raising and lowering them which includes a fluid motorin the form of a piston cylinder combination 16 which is connected to a lever 18 having an opposite end connected to a shaft 22 which is journaled on a bearing 23 on a platform 17.
  • the shaft 22 carries a rocker 19 having an arcuate outer surface over which a chain 21 is directed and fastened as at 20.
  • a rocker 19 is arranged on each side of the lock chamber 8 as can-be seen from FIG. 2 and each is provided with a respective chain. 21 for engagement with an associated suspension rod 38 and 39.
  • a feature of the inventive construction is that the bin 3, the charging hopper 4, and the distributing gear 6 forms a structural unit which is arranged separate from the lock chamber 8.
  • the lock chamber 8 itselfis connected with .the upper part of the top pan 56for vertical movement through a connecting expansion bellows 24.
  • the top pan 56 rests tightly on the furnace head 25.
  • a characteristic of the invention is that the lock chamber 8 has a free interior 26 which has a lower part with a constriction 27 in which the charged 28 can accumulate.
  • the inlet and outlet ports 9 and 12 are aligned vertically but these ports can be staggered if desired.
  • the sealing edge 29 of the valve member 7 can be turned easily out of the path of the charging material when the valve member 7 is moved form the closed to the opened position at which it is located within the offset chamber 30.
  • the wall 31 of this chamber makes a gas tight seal with the shaft 32 and the shaft 32 can be driven through the lever 34 and the hydraulic piston drive 35 which may be arranged outside of the lock chamber 8.
  • a similar arrangement is provided for the valvemechanism 40.
  • the shaft 42 for this mechanism is packed and sealed with the wall 43 of the chamber 41.
  • closure flaps 50 and 51 as shown in FIG. 2, which may be closed as indicated and which provides means for the accumulation of material within the lock chamber.
