Abstract
A coke oven battery servicing apparatus includes a coke catching and collecting bucket movable from a first position adjacent the oven to a second position clear of the oven and a coke guide cage having an opening therein which is complementary to the bucket. When in the first position the bucket collects coke spillage during oven door extraction and door jamb cleaning. When the coke guide is positioned for pushing, the bucket is moved into a third position in which the bucket is removably inserted into the aforementioned opening to become integral with the coke guide cage. The collected coke spillage is then pushed together with the coke from the oven through the guide means for disposal in a quenching receptacle or car.
Claims13
A coke oven battery servicing apparatus for catching and collecting coke discharged from the oven during door removal and conveying the collected discharged coke together with the coke pushed from the oven, from the face of the oven to a quenching receptacle, across a coke side servicing car disposed therebetween, comprising:
- coke guide cage means having a first end and a second end and a generally horizontally disposed planar floor member extending therebetween, said planar floor member having an opening therein proximate said first end, said coke guide means being mounted on said servicing car for selective movement at least from a position in which said first end is spaced from the oven face for door removal to a position in which said first end is adjacent a selected oven;
- and
- coke catching means having a generally planar bottom member which is complementary to the opening in said coke guide floor member, said coke catching means being mounted on said servicing car for selective movement from at least a first position in which said coke catching means is disposed below and adjacent the selected oven during door removal to catch and collect discharged coke, to a second position in which said planar bottom member is removably inserted into the opening in said coke guide floor member and together with said floor member defines a generally continuous planar surface on which the discharged coke together with the coke remaining in the oven is conveyed to the quenching receptacle when said first end of said coke guide is adjacent the selected oven.
An apparatus for servicing a coke oven battery comprising:
- a servicing car mounted on wheels for movement parallel to one face of the coke oven battery;
- coke oven door remover means mounted on said servicing car for reciprocal movement along its own longitudinal axis toward and away from a selected oven of the coke oven battery at least when in alignment therewith, and for reciprocal movement relative to the longitudinal axis of said servicing car which movement displaces said door remover means from its alignment with said selected oven;
- coke guide means mounted on said servicing car for extension along its own longitudinal axis toward the selected oven to guide coke pushed from the selected oven across the servicing car and for reciprocal movement relative to the longitudinal axis of the servicing car when retracted from the selected oven;
- means for sequentially aligning the door remover means and the coke guide means with the selected oven and for extending the selected means toward the oven;
- and,
- coke catching means mounted on said servicing car for selective movement between a first position in which said coke catching means is disposed below and adjacent said selected oven while both the door remover means and the coke guide means are aligned with and extended toward the selected oven and in which position the coke catching means catches coke spilled during door removal, a second position in which the coke catching means places the coke spilled during door removal into the coke guide means for removal with coke pushed from the selected oven and a third position in which the coke catching means is clear of the coke oven battery for movement of the servicing car parallel to the face of the coke oven battery.
