APPARATUS FOR RECOVERING FALLEN COKE FROM COKE OVEN

PURPOSE:To eliminate the use of a carrying conveyor and to make the use of a quencher, etc., unnecessary by inverting a fallen coke receiving basket, receiving the fallen coke in a carrying basket and returning the coke receiving basket to the initial position. CONSTITUTION:Fallen coke produced during the opening of the cover of a coke oven and during the leading of the pushed coke is received in a fallen coke receiving basket 1 at the bottom of the inlet of a kiln of the oven 2, a holding arm 4 is inserted into each pocket of the basket 1 and held by engaging by operating a forward and backward drive 5 for holding the inversion mechanism 3, the basket 1 is inverted by operating a rotary drive 6 for inversion to throw the fallen coke into the basket 7 for receiving. Immediately thereafter, the inversion mechanism 3 is reversed to return the basket 1 to the initial position. On the other hand, the basket 7 is moved to guide rails 12 through a carrying wire 15, a guide roller 8, etc., by hoisting up a drive 14 for hoisting up and down a carrying mechanism 11, and when reached the top of a discharge mechanism 16, the fallen coke is recovered in a recovery hopper 17.
