Application filed March 22, 1906. Serial N o. 307 A76.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE 'W. GARDNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Furnace Fuel-Feeders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to automatic furnace feeders in which refuse, such as shavings, dust, etc., from a planing mill, is collected I and finally fed to the furnace and consumed.
In devices of this character means must be provided for cOllecting the material from the different parts, preferably by means of the ordinary fan mechanism, and depositing it directly in the furnace through suitable mechanism, or depositing it in a bin or receptacle, and from there passing it through said mechanism into the furnace. The means for accom lishing this is preferably automatic and a ditional means are provided for controlling it as desired.
The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which;
Figure 1 is a front elevation, partly broken, showing my automatic feeder in connection with two furnaces. Fig. 2 is a partly broken side elevation of the same: Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 33 of Fig. 2, showing the feeders in plan view. Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the shaving bin. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the conveyer shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a vertical section through the charging chambers. Fig. 7 is a vertical section of the same at right angles to the section of Fig. 6. Fig. S'is amodified form of closure for the. charging chamber. Fig. 9 is a lan view of the timing device or regulator. Fig.- 10 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 11 is a detail view of the latch. Fig. 12 is a side elevation, partly in section, showing a conveyer for feeding a number of furnaces. Fig. 18 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 14 is aperspectiveviewof the segmental shutter.
Referring more particularly to the drawings 1, 1,, indicate two furnaces of any description, each supplied with fuel through a chute 2, which in turnreceives the fuel from the source of su ply, as the machinery of planing mill. T ie fuel, as the shavings and other refuse in such places, is usually collected from the different machines by means of an ordinary suction fan or blower 3, and after being passed through a separator 4, is
delivered directly to the furnace through the chute 2, or, when there is a surplus, deposited in a loin or receptacle 5.
Located below the separator are two feeders or charge chambers 6, which receive and retain the fuel until it is required for the furnace when each chamber is emptied independently of the other, and the fuel passes down its respective chute into the furnace where it is'consumed and furnishes power for running the plant. As the feeders or chambersare duplicates of each other, as also are the chutes, boilers etc., a description of one will be applicable to both.
.lournaled across the chute at the bottom of the charge chamber is a shaft 7 which is provided upon its inner end with a gate 8, preferably in the form of a vane or wing,
which is adapted to be moved toward and from the bottom to close or open it, and the outer end of the shaft is provided with an arm 9 upon which is secured a receptacle, as a cup or bucket 10, which is preferably conical or funnel shaped and adapted to be filled with water, from any suitable source of supply throu h a pipe 11. A counterweight 12 1s adjusta ly secured to the arm 9, and controls the time of discharge of the cup, and thereby, of the opening of the charge chamber. The free end of the arm 9 is normally held against swinging downward to empty the cup by means of a yielding tri which comprises a pivoted arm 13 whic1 has a counterbalance 14 on one end and a spring pressed latch 15 at the other. As the cup is gradually filled with water, the supply of which can be controlled by the engineer, or automatically',.or both, it gradually over balances its own counterweight 12 and the counterweight 14.- of the trip until finally the trip is tilted. and the free end of the arm 9 is released which ermits the cup to swing downward and discharge its contents, preferably into a box 16 from whence it is discharged and' preferably used as feed-water for the boiler. The counterweights immediately return the two arms to their normal I osition, the free end of the arm 12 pressing acl: the latch 15 as it passes the end of arm 13, and being locked thereby after it has passed, until the parts are again tripped by the weight of water. Stops 17 may be arranged under the rear ends of the arms to stop them after their adjacent ends have passed each other, the one for the arm 9 chamber.
being shorter than the other to permit the arm to pass. a short distance above the arm 13 to insure the projection of the latch 15 before the arm 9 reverses its movement.
As there is a constant stream of material being delivered from the separator there is a liabi ity of some of it being caught between the gate 8 and the bottom of the charge It is necessary to provide means whereby such an occurrence will not prevent the movement of the gate into its normal plane which would prevent the return and locking of the cup for the reception of water. This is accomplished by providing yielding mechanism in the closing of the charge chamber, preferably by introducing a movable memoer between the main portion of the chamber and the gate proper. This is preferably done by making the chamber as a twopart or divided chamber, with the lower member 18 telescopically connected with the main portion and adapted to be held in its projected or lowest position by coil springs 19 which encircle rods 20 and engage with the lower portion at one end and bear against cross pieces 21 at the other. The cross pieces extend from the sides of the charge chamber to the sides of the upper end of the chute, which is flared at that oint, and hold the latter at such a distance om the chain her as to form a housing for the sari: "s, which housing is closed by a hinged id 2,
In the other form of closure, the gate is formed double with parts 23 and 24 yield-- ingly separated by springs .25. The lower part or gate roper, as 23, is secured to the shaft 7 and t. c part 24 is adapted to enga e with the bottom. of the chargechamber. n either form if a block or knot should happen to be caught between the gate and the extension or the lower end of the chamber and the gate, as shown at 25 in Fig. 8, the springs will yield and thereby permit the gate proper to assume its normal position, although a space would be temporarily formed at the bottom of the charging chamber. But when the gate would be swung down the next time, the obstruction would be carried out with the charge and the parts would then return to their normal positions when the gate was again closed.
When two charge chambers are used, as in the present instance, a gate or deflector 26 is mounted above them and preferably nor mally held as far to one side as-it will go by a spring 27 which on ages with an arm 28 secured to one end 0 the gate shaft. A cord 29 extends from the arm down to the engine room where it is fastened uon retainers, as pins or hooks 30,-for holding the gate in any desired position. When the cor is drawn down the arm will be moved against the ten sion of the s ring and when it is released the s ring will raw the arm and gate back into their former positions, thereby rnabling the sauces engineer at all times to control the supply of I may be used which is controlled by the steam from the boiler, but I prefento use the form shown in my application, Serial No. 30747 7,
filed Mar. 22, 1906. J
To revent the possibility of back firing througn the chutes, as by an explosion of gas in the furnace after the mill has been closed down for the night, a valve 32 is preferably located in the chute at a suitable distance above its entry into'the furnace. A double rocker arm 33 is secured to the valve shaft for opening and closing the valve and a look, as a spring 34, is arranged to engage with the free edge of the valve and hold it in its closed position, or when it is standing across the chute. A lever 35 is connected with the spring whereby the valve can be released ready to be swung up, as shown in full lines in Fig. 2 from across the-chute.
When there is an excess'of fuel .over what is required to liGG up the necessary power the surplus is discharged from the separator through a chute 36 into the bin or other receptacle 5, where it is stored until needed, as when there is less shavings and other refuse? being made by the mill than is required to lice up the )ower. A. pipe or conduit 38 lean s from the bottom of the bin to the blower 3 through which the fuel is returned to the separator and from there passed.
each other so as not to fall, and es ecially when damp. To overcome this difficulty I prefer to provide the bin'with a conveyer, as a chain carrier 39, which is pivotally mounted at one end near the mouth of the conduit 38, while its free end is adapted to be moved vertically within the bin by means ofa cord 40 and a curved track 41. The chain runs over sprocket wheels, one of which, as 42, is driven from any suitable source of pdwer, not shown,
and the other one 43, is mounted in "a trams 4-4 that is guided u on the track by wheels er rollers 45. The ower end of the frame is preferably pointed as shown at 46' to more readily pass through the mass of shavin s when the conveyor is being lowered by sliml ing up on the cord 40. 4
The chain is preferably provided with spiked slats t? which en age with the shavings on top and break them loose from the mass when it is being raised and which drags them to the mouth of the conduit when the conveyer is being lowered, or rests upon a mass of shavings. A slide or cut off 48 is provided for closing the entrance to the conduit and preventing the entrance of air or shatdngs to the blower from the bin when the fugl1 is being taken from the machines in the nu Instead of feeding the fuel to the charge chambers as above described it can be first fed directly to a bin or chamber and then removed from there, as by a bucket conveyer 49, and discharged into a tr0ugh'50, from whence it is carried into a lower trough 51 by a slatted belt or conveyer 52. The lower trough connects directly with charge chambers through openings 54, from whence the fuel is discharged into the respective chutes 55 and passes into the furnaces as heretofore described. To revent too much of the fuel passing throng 1 the opening 54 nearest the farther end of the belt 52, an opening is formed in the upper tro'u'gh, preferably substantially midway its length, through which the fuel may be permitted to pass into the lower trough, andthen be carried by the lower. turn or portion of the belt to the openings 54 that are farthest from the outer end of said trough. The opening.
56 is adapted to be controlled by any suitable mechanism, a segmental shutter 57 being preferably operated by the fireman or attendant through a shaft 58 and bevel gearing 59.- The slats 60 of the chain areof such a width as to engage with the bottom of the up or trough with one edge and car the fuel in one direction and to engage wit the bottom of the lower trough with the otheredge and carry it in the other direction. In case there is a surplus of fuel it is discharged from the,-
inner end of the lower trough through a chute 61 back into the loinv from whence it is subsequently carried by the elevator 49, and fed to the furnaces.
When using my improved feeder, the
' operation. substantially automatic and uniform, varying only as the demand for steam varies with the work bein done, and, only requiring occasional attention from the one in charge, as when changing the adjustment if the variation in power becomes excessive or abnormal, or when fiche shavings must be loosercd up in the bin or controlled in their iassage through the troughs. The space in front of the furnaces can be kept perfectly clean, thereby avoiding the liability of fire f 'om that source, and one person can easily attend to a few or to a greater number of furn was with equally satisfactory results in ither case.
