CHARGE INTO THE GLASS MELTING FURNACE LOADING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC C03B3/00 

FIELD: furnace technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: technical solution relates to the charge into the glass melting furnace loading devices. Charge into the glass melting furnace loading device contains a support frame with a heat-shielding screen, the charge receiving hopper, which two outputs are connected to the two screw feeders inputs, angled to each other. Device also contains associated with the eccentric mechanism and charge pusher system of levers, consisting of the water-cooled console, to which one end a convex shaped pushing gate is attached. In the charge pushing process the gate moves along the elliptical path, and contains the central rectangular section attached perpendicular to the console so, that when the console moves forward, its lower edge is located parallel to the glass melt surface, and contacts the charge heaps, pushing them along the loading pocket center, and also contains connected to the gate central section the left and right side sections, located at an angle of 70–80° to the console movement direction. Left and right side sections lower edges have trapezoidal shape and are made with a bevel, directed upwards at an angle of 40–60° to the glass melt surface. They are not in contact with the charge heaps with the console initial angular position during its forward movement. Console other end is made with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis, is connected to the reversible rotational drive. With the charge pushing into the loading pocket, the pushing gate moves along the elliptical path. Ability of the console and pushing gate rotation clockwise and counterclockwise at 40–60° allows to separately use the gate central and two side sections during the charge pushing. With the console turning for 20–30° clockwise or counterclockwise from the initial angular position, the gate turns and enters the intermediate position so, that with the console movement forward with the charge heaps, the gate central and one of the side sections adjacent parts begin to contact, performing the charge partial pushing forward and sideways.

EFFECT: technical result is the charge multidirectional front optimization and expansion while maintaining the glass melting furnace loading pocket sealing.
