Device for filling oven chambers of a coke oven

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for charging chambers of a coke oven. The basic structure of the apparatus includes a horizontal screw conveyor (1) mounted underneath a coal-charging larry cart, a telescopic charging chute (2) provided below an outlet (3) of the horizontal screw conveyor and having an intake funnel (4) and a telescopic lower part (6) that can be lowered vertically onto charging ports (5) in the top wall of the coke oven, and a lifter (7) for vertically displacing the telescopic lower part (6). The telescopic charging chute (2) is adjustable horizontally in two directions (X, Y) orthogonal to one another relative to the coal-charging larry cart for alignment with the particular position of the charging ports (5). According to the invention, the intake funnel (4) of the telescopic charging chute (2) and the lifter (7) connected to the telescopic lower part are mounted on a support frame (8) that is movable in a straight line inside a traveling frame (9) in a first direction (X). The traveling frame (9) is provided so it is horizontally movable in a second direction (Y) on rails (10) mounted on the lower side of the coal-charging larry cart. A seal (11) is provided on the top side of the support frame (8) that surrounds the intake funnel (4) of the telescopic charging chute (2), that works together with a horizontal flange surface (12) on the surface of the outlet (3) of the horizontal screw conveyor (1), and that permits horizontal adjustment movement of the intake funnel (4) relative to the outlet (3) of the horizontal screw conveyor.
