Abstract
An apparatus for moving from position to position along coke ovens during the production of coke which is capable of stopping at its target stop position with high accuracy and without deteriorating its operating efficiency. In the mobile apparatus, a travel pattern is stored in a computer for controlling the apparatus depending on a target stop position of the apparatus and its travel direction immediately before its stop. As a result, any stop error due to the particular conditions inherent in each target stop position can be eliminated. The computer may include a program for correcting the travel pattern depending on the stop error if any.
Claims5
An apparatus for accurately moving between exact positions along coke ovens during the production of coke, the apparatus comprising:
- an absolute position detecting cable means, arranged along rails on which the apparatus is moved, for detecting an absolute position of the apparatus while traveling along the coke ovens;
- storing means for storing data representative of a travel pattern of the apparatus between a plurality of a different target stop positions including means for storing each travel pattern depending upon a desired target stop position D of the apparatus and a travel direction of the apparatus to the desired target stop position D;
- correcting means for correcting the travel pattern based on a stop error, if any, between and actual stop position of the apparatus and each target stop position as determined by the absolute position detecting cable means;
- and
- means for permitting the apparatus to run and stop according to a stop command generated by said storing means.
