Patented Aug. 15, 1933 MACHINE FOR REMOVING AND SIFTING ASHE$ George Jack Strcib, Mount Vernon, N. Y.
Application June 26, 1931. Serial No. 547,012 6 Claims. (01. 209-247) This invention relates to means for automatically removing the residue of burning coal (known as ashes) from coal burning furnaces, elevatihg said ashes torequired height and siftingto reclaim coal. By varying the size of the removing element of this machine hereinafter fully described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, said machine will be adaptable for all coal burning furnaces, and more par- 19 ticularly a machine of this general nature is especially adapted for use with furnaces of household and domestic type.
This invention comprising the elements here inafter fully described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, alsorelates to removing, elevating and sifting like materials, for example sand; gravel, powdered and the like coarse or finely divided substances.
Anexample of the use of this invention is to eliminate objectionable labor and unsanitary methods of handlingashes usually performed in a closed cellar. It is well known that in the operation of burning coal in a coal burning furnacean enormous amount of material a mixture of finely divided ashes; clinkers; stones and coal are shaken down intoash pit in order to keep fire burning. In the residue thereis usually a percentage of coal that is seldom reclaimed due to the hand shoveling into hand operated ash sifters.
Therefore a general object of this invention is to eliminate objectionable andunsanitary hand shoveling and sifting of coal furnace ashes and toprovide a device which will operate automatically to remove; elevate; discharge into sifter and separate todischarge the finely divided unburnable substance into a suitable receptacle for convenient handling and disposal.
As ash remover designed to fulfill the required object automatically as described in foregoing paragraph should include means for conveying asheshorizontally from the ash pit beneath furnace grate to outside the wall of furnace; means for elevating the ashes'for discharge into sifting pan, and means forrocking said pan for sifting into ash can. 1
While the finely divided asheswill readily pass through the machine as hereinafter described, this invention includes means for breaking up the rough and irregularly shaped clinkers; stones erence is to be had to the accompanying sheets of explanatory drawings constituting a part of thisspecification and in which like characters of reference designate the same or similar parts in all the views, also in which:
Figure l is a plan view of an ash removing and sifting device embodying the invention.
Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section through the ash remover proper taken substantially on the line 2-2 in Figure 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows, and is also a transverse section through the upper part of sifting member taken on line 4-4 marked in Figure 1 and also looking in direction of arrows. Figure 2 therefore shows all the working parts necessary for accomplishing the object of the invention.
Figure 3 is a similar enlarged vertical section taken on line 3-3 shownin both Figures 1 and 2 cutting spiral conveyor and looking toward the right hand thereof.
Figure 4 is a similar vertical section taken 7 on line 4--4 marked in Figure .1 cutting sifting member for arrangement of details.
Referring to the drawings in order to give a more detailed written description of the machine embodying the combination and arrangement of parts and their functions as hereinafter described, this invention is applied to a household furnacefor the objectof removing ashes and reclaiming coal. [Reference being had to the fact that this invention can be applied 35 to other like materials as aforesaid defined, and occupying a confined space or an enclosed chamber similar to a furnace ash pit chamber. In Figure 2 the outline of a household furnace is recognizable. In Figure 1 a cross-sectionis shown cutting through ash pit; ash clean-out door and draft door. r
In Figure l the numeral 10 is a shield preventing ashes from blocking the passage of the draft door and need only extend half-way up to allow draft toenter combustion chamber. Numeral 11 is a base-plate upon which the assembled circular disc, made up of parts l l, 15, 16,
17 and 18, revolves. The collar 14 has a bearing on base plate 11 and into this collar 14rods 15 are screwed. Upon these rods lathe segments 16 are mounted and are held in place by holding plate 17 with the aid of cotter pin 18. This revolving disc of parts 14, 15, 16, 1'7 and 18 is prevented from moving up bylock plate 13. I
The inner conveyor casing 19 is cylindrical in shape extending half-way into ash pit chamber or approximately equal to the radius of the circular revolving disc. At these central extremities it has a closed end with a boss beneath to fit into hollow of base plate 11 and secured to said base plate 11 with screw 12. Referring to Figure 3 which shows view looking toward outlet end of conveyor casing 19, a rectangular opening the full length of the side as at 19-A is shown and has ribs as at 19B. Materials as ashes enter through 19--A and are continuously fed by revolving disc, previously described.
This disc is driven by a drive collar 21 mounted' in a chamber as shown also in Figure 3. The driving of the collar 21 is performed by engaging a pin 22 with the conveyor spiral 20. Since drive collar 21 is not securely fastened to conveyor spiral 20 guide rollers 23 are provided which in turn bear upon pin shafts 24. At ribs 19-13 any large obstacle that cannot pass through conveyor will be broken up.
The elevating conveyor spiral 29 is similar to conveyor spiral 20, but mounted on a large hub and symmetrical in proportion so as also to act as a worm for driving worm gear 31. The two conveyor spirals are coupled together bya square end on shaft of removing conveyor 20 into a square pocket on elevating conveyor 29. Both parts are tensioned by a stiff spring 30.
The action of this elevating conveyor 29 isas follows. Materials such as ashes enter the chamber at 28-A. This chamber is designed large enough to take any large particle, although -if any particle is too large for said chamber it will be broken up by tooth projection shown at 29-A. The action of elevating conveyor 29 is very slow, hence tooth shown at 29A will not act as a grinder. When the beginning of the spiral thread (since the elevating conveyor 29 is the form of a single threaded worm) rotates around, it scoops up the material gathered in the chamber 28-A and forces it against worm gear 31. This worm gear 31 blocks the materials from turning with the conveyor 29, forcing it ahead, thereby clearing the path in back of said worm gear 31 allowing the scooping operation to continue. The driven materials are forced up through tube 38 into sifting member.
To obtain the rocking movement for sifting pan 34 a groove is cast in worm gear 31 at 31-A which with the mounting of a pin on slide rod 32 and inserted into groove 31-A produces a back and forth movement of said slide rod 32. Through the lever 33 an angular or reciprocating movement is produced and transmitted to its shaft. This said shaft projects through wall of sifting member frame 37 and terminates in a square end thereby allowing sifting pan pan 34 to be removed from machine by aid of handles 35.
A cover to sitting member is shown by numeral 39 having a handle 40. Tube 38 terminates in the center of said sitter cover 39. Both members are loosely fitted thereby allowing cover 39 to move up on tube 38, also swing on its axis. By this construction, cover 39 with tube 38 can be swung clear of sifting frame 37 for the object of removing sifter pan 34.
Referring to Figure 4, a shutter 48 with handle 49 is shown. It is easily seen that this shutter merely closes or opens, at the will of the operator, an outlet into can or receptacle 47.
For the automatic driving of this invention, conveyor spiral 29 has shaft extending beyond casing 28 and supported by bearing 41. Said bearing 41 is provided with a recess for grease and fitted with felt washers to keep out dirt and dust. Beyond bearing 41 and keyed to said shaft of elevating conveyor spiral is worm gear 42. This worm gear 42 has a worm 43 as driver, which has its source of power from electric motor 45. Substantial bearings, one at each end,
In conclusion, although I have described one,
practical embodiment of the invention, it isreadily understood that the various combination and arrangement of parts aforesaid; described and shown may be changed and altered in proportion to accommodate different service requirements and different materials without'departing from the spirit and scope of the said invention and as defined by the appended claims.
