DEVICE FOR DISMANTLING PILE OF SLABS AND TRANSFERRING THEM ONTO ROLLER BED Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: heating furnaces. SUBSTANCE: device comprises stationary rack 1 and transport means in the form of walking beams 2 whose working surface under loaded pile 3 has shaped cutout. Arranged above rack 1 is stationary stop 4 with U-shaped opening whose height is larger than the thickest slab δ_max but smaller than two thinnest slabs δ_min. Walking beams have mechanisms for vertical and horizontal displacement. Shaped cutout is a continuation of their working surface and is formed by lower horizontal surface located under rack 1 in any position, merging into vertical surface raised above the rack with the walking beams lifted by the thickness of the thinnest slab δ_min by inclined surface whose height is determined by the difference of thicknesses between the thickest δ_max and thinnest δ_min slabs and the upper horizontal surface. EFFECT: improved design. 3 dwg
