1 Claim. (Cl. 110-45) This invention relates to improvements in to improvements in burner structures for stokers of the domestic type, wherein provision is made for collecting and returning to the fuel bed in the burner, all particles or riddlings offuel and fine material which may pass through the combustion air openings or tuyre's in the burner grate, and
fall into the air supply chamber about the grate.
Accordingly, the object of the invention is to provide in combination in a burner assembly for domestic stokers and the like, material collecting and conveying mechanism serving to return to the fuel'bed in the burner, such' fine particles of fuel and material as may drop through the grate tuyeres, into the combustion air supply chamber about the grate. The mechanism for accomplishing this purpose, includes rotatable means for collecting and localizing the fuel particles in a manner to facilitate positive return thereof to the burner fuel bed.
Other objects and advantages will appear readily from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig, 1 is an assembly elevation of a domestic stoker to which the present invention is applied, certain parts of the assembly being illustrated in diagrammatic manner and others thereof having portions broken away to disclose operating elements of the assembly; Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional elevation of the burner apparatus of the stoker, illustrating details of the. invention; Fig. 3 is a similar sectional elevation of the burner, but taken at a right angle to the view of Fig. 2, as
viewed from line 3-3 in Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a greatly enlarged view in perspective, of the burner, shown with the grate structure thereof removed and placed to one side; Fig. 5 is a view in plan, of a material sweeper member forming an element of the invention, and Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional elevation of the burner and sweeper member, the sectional view relative to the sweeper member being taken along line 66 in Fig. 5.
Referring to the drawings by suitable characters of reference, the stoker assembly illustrated generally, in Fig. 1, includes a burner l8 and a housing It spaced from the burner and containing, as shown in broken lines, a stoker operating motor l2 connected as by a suitable belt or chain M, to a reduction-gear unit [5. Although not shown, the housing may enclose a fuel bin or hopper, providing a supply of fuel for the burner, and connecting the hopper with the burner is a fuel conduit l6 through which extends a rotary stokers of underfeed type, and more particularly conveyor l8 which may be comprised of a shaft I9 having a helical conveyor flight thereon. The conveyor is by preference, driven from the hopper end 22 of its shaft l9, as by the chain or belt 23 between the shaft end 22 and the motor driven gear unit l5. As indicated in Fig. 1, the fuel conduit l6 may be located within a larger .conduit 24, the latter conduit providing for the delivery of combustion air to the burner, as from a suitable blower (not shown) which may be arranged within the housing II for driven connection with the motor [2 therein.
Ash removing facilities for the burner, may be provided by an ash conveyor'of helical or screw .flight type, comprised ofa shaft 26 and a helical flight 21 thereon, operating in a conduit structure 28 extending from the ash-pit zone 29 which extends about the burner, to the housing If. The burner end 30 of the ash conduit is of open,trough-like form, to expose the corresponding end portion 3| of the ash'eonveyor flight, to the ashes piling up within the ash-pit zone, for removal of the ashes therefrom. The ash eonveyor and its conduit preferably extend into the housing for operative association with an ash elevator 32 therein, providing for the discharge of the ashes into suitable containers (not shown). Then end 33 of shaft 28 is projected beyond the end of the conduit 28 which is within the housing H, for operative connection to the gear unit l5,
as by the chain or belt drive connection 34. Thus may be operated by the motor l2 in any suitable manner.
As appears in the sectional elevations of the burner, Figs. 2 and 3, the structure thereof includes a burnerbase 35 of hollow construction, having a conduit-neck portion 36 projected laterally from one side, for connection with the burner end 38 of the conduit 24, as by the flanged-bolted joint 39. The upper open end 40 of the base is substantially circular (Fig. 4) and is formed to provide inwardly and outwardly directed flanges 42 and 43 respectively, and a top, horizontal surface 44 of annular extent, providing a bearing seat for a rotatable grate assembly 46 later to be described. Suitably spaced, inwardly of the hollow burner base 35, is a retort base or burner pot 41 opening upwardly, and outwardly bly 46, as will hereinafter more fully appear. Projected laterally of the burner pot is a conduitneck 5| which, in the stoker assembly, registers and joins with the burner end 52 of the fuel conduit I6 (Fig. 2). Located diametrically opposite the conduit-neck 5| is a conduit section 54 preferably of lesser diameter and closed at its outer end 55, providing a pocket or recess 56 therein. As shown in Fig. 2, the burner end 58 of the fuel conveyor shaft I9, extends through the conduitneck BI and the burner pot, and terminates within the recess 56, while the conveyor flight 20 thereon, terminates at a point on the shaft below the upwardly opening end 48 of the pct 41. Ar-
ranged on the terminal portion of the shaft end' 58 located within the recess 56, is a helical conveyor section 69 having its flight pitched oppositely to the fuel conveying flight 20, so that it may operate to prevent entrance into the recess 66, of fuel delivered to the burner pot by conveyor 20, and will serve also, to convey to the burner pot, material delivered to the recess 56 as will hereinafter appear. The diameter of the flight 59 is determined by the diameter of the recess 56, and is preferably such as to provide for an appreciable operating clearance relative to the walls of the conduit section 54 defining the recess 56.
The burner grate structure is comprised of an upwardly opening, circular casing 60 having a horizontal, annular wall 62 directed inwardly thereof, at the lower end of the casing. Supported by and suitably secured to the casing, are a plurality of plate-segments 63 which cooperate to form a grate surface for the fuel in the burner, the plates extending in an upward and outwardly flaring manner, between the inner edge 64 of the casing wall 62 and the rim 66 of the casing. The plates and casing in this arrangement, are relatively spaced to provide a combustion air supply chamber 61 extending annularly about the grate-plates, from which air for combustion is delivered to the fuel bed through tuyere-forming passages 68 in the plates 63. Air is supplied to chamber 61 from the blower, in a manner later appearing.
In the assembly position of the grate structure on the burner base, the casing wall 62 engages and rotatively journals upon the bearing surface 44 of the burner base and the flangeseat 50 of the burner pot (Figs. 2 and 3), thereby spanning the annular opening 10 between the upper ends of the burner base and pot. In order to prevent displacement of the grate assembly. laterally of the burner base, rollers II are carried by the casing wall 62, in circumferentially spaced relation therebelow and in position to engage the internal flange 42 at the upper end of the burner base (Fig. 2).
Rotation of the grate structure may be effected in any well known manner, or as preferred and illustrated herein, by a suitable drive connection with the ash conveyor. Accordingly, a ring member 12 surrounds the upper end 40 of the burner base and is removably secured to the grate casing 60 by upstanding, slotted lugs 14, on the ring engaging pins projecting radially from the grate casing. The ring 12 is provided with a plurality of equally spaced, radially projecting arms or teeth elements 16, which in the operative assembly of the burner, are engaged sucsuccessively, by the exposed flights 3| of the ash conveyor (Figs. 3 and 4). The relative arrangement of the ring lugs 14 and casing pins 15 is such that through rotation of the ring in one direction (clockwise, as shown in Fig. 4) as determined by the direction of ash conveyor rotation, these elements will cooperate to drive the grate structure, but upon a reverse rotation of the ring, the slotted lugs thereon will become disengaged from the pins, thereby to permit ready removal of the ring.
As appears particularly in Figs. 3 and 4, the wall 62 of the grate casing 60 is provided with a number of openings 18 each of arcuate extent and providing for the passage of combustion air from the air-receiving chamber 19 in the burner base 35, to the air chamber 61 formed in the grate assembly.
During operation of the burner, some of the finer particles of fuel and other foreign matter which may be contained in the fuel as delivered to the fuel bed in the grate structure, may drop or pass through the tuyre openings 68 in the grate plates 63, into the air chamber 61. From this chamber, the greater portion of such fine material or riddlings will ultimately, fall through the epenings l8, and unless provision be made for collecting the material as its falls therethrough, will accumulate in the air chamber 19 in the burner base 35, The flne siftings of fuel and other material, if permitted to accumulate in the chamber 19 over an extended period of burner operation, may offer increasing resistance to the flow of combustion air therethrough, and it is conceivable that after so long a time, the chamber may become so clogged as to preclude delivery of combustion air to the fuel bed, in the volume or at the rate necessary to effect efficient combustion of the fuel therein. Accordingly, provision is made by the present invention, to collect and localize all such siftings or riddlings of fuel material, and to convey the same from the zone of localization to the burner pot for return to the fuel bed and ultimate consumption therein.
Spaced inwardly from the wall of the burner base 35, near its upper end 40, is a horizontal plate or deck element which surrounds the upwardly directed portion of the burner pot 41, and preferably, is so disposed as to lie in a plane through the uppermost wall portion of the conduit neck 5| projecting from the pot. The outer edge of the plate is provided with an upturned rim or flange 82 which cooperates with the plate and the burner pot surrounded thereby, to form an annular channel 83 which underlies the air openings 18 in the casing wall 62 of the grate structure (Fig. 3). The flanged rim of the plate 80 is supported from the wall of the burner base, as by a plurality of connecting elements or webs 84 which bridge the annular space 86 between the plate flange 82 and the wall of the burner base near the upper end 40 thereof. The space 86 is effected necessarily, to provide for the passage of combustion air from the burner base chamber 19, upwardly about the channelforming plate 80 and through the openings 18 into the grate air chamber 61. But at the same time, the channel-plate 80 below the openings 18, serves to receive all siftings of fuel and other matter dropping through such openings, whereby to preclude accumulation of the material in the base chamber 19. It is to be noted here that the burner base assembly, including the burner pot and its conduit-neck elements, the flanged plate 8|! and the plate-supporting elements 84, may be a unitary structure, formed by a single casting, In this manner the plate 80 integrally united with the burner pot and also,
with the wall of the burner base through the elements 84, serves through the latter elements, to support in part, the burner pot in spaced position within the burner base.
A channel discharge opening 91 is provided in that portion 88 of the plate 80 which overlies the pocket-forming conduit 54 projecting from the burner pct 41. Communication between the opening 81 and the recess 56 formed by conduit 59, is effected by a passage 9|), defined by wall elements 9! extending between'the opening 81 and a similar opening 92 in the upper wall portion of the conduit 56. Thus fuel siftings collecting in the channel 83, may be. discharged through opening 81 into the recess 56, and the conveyor 59 operating therein, may then convey the material outwardly of the recess and into the lower portion of the burner pot, for re-delivery to the fuel bed.
Operating in the channel 83 are a plurality of conveying or material sweeper elements 94, which serve to collect the material siftings in the channel and to convey them to the channel-opening 81, for discharge therethrough as above described. The sweeper or scraper elements 94 which preferably, are of plate-like form, are carried by a ring member 95, each element having a bent portion 96 engaging the ring and secured I thereto, as by welding.
Engaging the bent portion 96 of certain of the scrapers, are ring securing lugs 98 preferably welded thereto and projecting radially, relative to the ring, to provide means for mounting'the ring to the wall 62 of the grate casing 60. The projecting portion of each lug is provided with an aperture, to receive a mounting element, as a screw or threaded stud I which threadedly engages the wall 82 (Fig. 4). Thus, during rotation of the burner grate structure, the ring and its sweepers will be rotated thereby, in the channel 93. The elements 94 riding over the surface of the plate 89, although pr ferably out of actual sliding contact therewith, ill efiectively sweep the material in the channel, to the channel opening- 81 for discharge therethrough.
It is to be noted as a preference in the present exemplary embodiment of the invention, that the sweeper elements are directed forwardly at an acute angle to the ring (Fig. 5), in the direction of ring rotation. The purpose for this arrangement is to eflect thereby and as the sweepers operate in the channel, a diversion of the fuel siftings from the zone of the channel flange 82,
to and into the wedge-shape area I02 (Fig. 5) between each sweeper and the ring. It is quite probable that if during sweeper conveyance of the material in the channel, a portion thereof were allowed to collect and pile up in the zone of the channel flange, some of the siftings would spill over the flange and drop into the air chamber 19 in the burner base. Hence, by so directioning the sweeper orscraper elements, as described, any tendency for the fuel siftings to pile up at the channel flange, is thereby effectively reduced or precluded.
The presently preferred embodiment of the invention as now described and as illustrated in the drawings, fully attains the purpose therefor, while'materially improving the function of the burner apparatus. It is to be understood, however, that the form and arrangement of the exemplary embodiment herein detailed, may be altered or modified without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention, as de fined by the appended claim.
