Slag remover for discharging combustion residues of an incineration plant
A slag remover for discharging combustion residues of an incineration plant comprises a trough, which has a trough housing having two side walls, which define the trough width, and having a trough bottom, and which is intended to collect the combustion residues evacuated from a combustion chamber of the incineration plant. The trough further comprises at least two push rams for pushing the combustion residues out of the trough, and a shaft rotatably mounted in two shaft bearings and on which at least one drive lever cooperating with a cylinder-piston unit and at least two output levers connected to respectively one of the push rams are disposed in a rotationally secure manner. The cylinder-piston unit is here designed such that the push rams move back and forth between a retracted position and an extended position. The drive lever is disposed between two output levers.
1. A slag remover for discharging combustion residues of an incineration plant, comprising:
a trough having a trough housing comprising two side walls, which define a trough width, and a trough bottom, the trough being configured: (i) to collect the combustion residues evacuated from a combustion chamber of the incineration plant, and (ii) in the form of two mutually separate trough channels at least in some areas,
at least two push rams for pushing the combustion residues out of the trough, and
a shaft rotatably mounted in two shaft bearings and on which at least one drive lever cooperating with a cylinder-piston unit and at least two output levers connected to respectively one of the push rams are disposed in a rotationally secure manner, the cylinder-piston unit being designed such that the push rams move back and forth between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein:
the at least one drive lever is disposed between the two output levers, and
at least one of the cylinder-piston unit and the drive lever are disposed, at least in some areas, in an interspace between the trough channels.
2. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slag remover comprises a single drive lever and a single cylinder-piston unit.
3. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drive lever is disposed symmetrically between the output levers.
4. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shaft extends at least over the trough width and the shaft bearings are disposed on the side walls.
5. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drive lever is disposed substantially midway between the shaft bearings.
6. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, during operation, the cylinder-piston unit is oriented at an angle of less than 20° with respect to the horizontal.
7. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the trough channels open out into a trough basin and are fluidically connected to one another by this.
8. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shaft bearings are configured as a bearing pedestal detachably fitted to the trough housing.
9. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drive lever is welded to the shaft.
10. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the output levers are welded to the shaft.
11. The slag remover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cylinder of the cylinder-piston unit is disposed outside the trough channels.
12. A waste incineration plant, comprising:
a combustion chamber; and
a slag remover for discharging combustion residues of an incineration plant, the slag remover including:
a trough having a trough housing comprising two side walls, which define a trough width, and a trough bottom, the trough being configured: (i) to collect the combustion residues evacuated from a combustion chamber of the incineration plant, and (ii) in the form of two mutually separate trough channels at least in some areas,
at least two push rams for pushing the combustion residues out of the trough, and
a shaft rotatably mounted in two shaft bearings and on which at least one drive lever cooperating with a cylinder-piston unit and at least two output levers connected to respectively one of the push rams are disposed in a rotationally secure manner, the cylinder-piston unit being designed such that the push rams move back and forth between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein:
the at least one drive lever is disposed between the two output levers, and
at least one of the cylinder-piston unit and the drive lever are disposed, at least in some areas, in an interspace between the trough channels.
13. A slag remover for discharging combustion residues of an incineration plant having a combustion chamber, comprising:
a trough having a trough housing including: (1) two side walls defining a trough width, and (2) a trough bottom, the trough being configured in the form of two mutually separate trough channels at least in some areas and to collect the combustion residues evacuated from the combustion chamber of the incineration plant;
at least two push rams configured to push the combustion residues out of the trough;
a shaft rotatably mounted on two shaft bearings;
a cylinder-piston unit configured to move the push rams back and forth between a retracted position and an extended position;
at least one drive lever where one end of the drive lever is configured to connect to the cylinder-piston unit and the other end of the drive lever is configured to connect to the shaft; and
at least two output levers where one end of the output lever is configured to connect to one of the push rams and the other end of the output lever is configured to connect to the shaft, respectively, wherein:
the at least one drive lever is disposed between the two output levers, and
at least one of the cylinder-piston unit and the drive lever are disposed, at least in some areas, in an interspace between the trough channels.
