SHAFT FURNACE CHARGE MATERIAL DISTRIBUTOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C21B7/20 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to metallurgy, particularly, to shaft furnace charge distributor. Proposed distributor comprises main housing, distributor trough, suspended rotor and adjusting rotor that can turn about vertical rotational axis. Distributor is hinged to suspended rotor to be adjusted by adjusting rotor in direction. Differential gearing engages both rotors for differential rotation of adjusting rotor relative to hinged rotor. Said gearing imparts such rpm to adjusting rotor that is transferred to hinged rotor by the main drive. Distributor comprises gearbox first housing made at the main housing to accommodate gearing engaging the main drive with the first output shaft. The latter extends into the main housing to engage with gear wheel engaged with hinged rotor first ring gear. Gearbox second housing is arranged at the main housing to accommodate differential gear to engage adjusting drive with the second output shaft. The latter extends into the main housing to engage with gear wheel engaged with adjusting rotor second ring gear. It comprises train of shafts equipped with compensating coupling to engage gearbox second housing differential gearing with gearbox first housing gearing.

EFFECT: decreased risks of premature wear of drive system components.
