Source text - French 1. Dispositif de répartition de matières en vrac pour un four (12) comprenant: une carcasse extérieure (14) munie d'un manchon d'alimentation fixe (16) et équipée à son extrémité inférieure d'un écran (72) définissant une ouverture circulaire (84);
un premier rotor (20) à axe de rotation sensiblement vertical (18), ledit premier rotor (20) comprenant un manchon de suspension vertical (24) qui est muni, à son extrémité inférieure d'un collet horizontal (26) agencé avec un faible jeu fonctionnel dans ladite ouverture (84) dudit écran inférieur (72);
deux paliers de suspension (44, 46), qui sont agencés sur ledit collet horizontal (26) de part et d'autre dudit manchon de suspension (24);
une goulotte (42) suspendue dans ces deux paliers de suspension (44, 46) de façon à ce qu'elle puisse pivoter autour d'un axe de pivotement sensiblement horizontal;
un deuxième rotor (30) à axe de rotation coaxial audit premier rotor (20) ce deuxième rotor (30) étant équipé d'une couronne dentée (58);
une transmission par engrenages (52) portée par ledit premier rotor (20) ladite transmission par engrenages (52) comprenant:
un arbre d'entrée (54), qui est muni d'un pignon (56) qui s'engrène avec la couronne dentée (58) dudit deuxième rotor (30);
un arbre de sortie (60), qui est parallèle à l'axe de pivotement de la goulotte (42) et comprend deux manivelles (64, 66); et
deux bielles (68, 70) connectant les deux manivelles (64, 66) à ladite goulotte (42) de façon à constituer un système bielle-manivelle produisant un pivotement de la goulotte (42), lorsque ledit arbre d'entré (54) est entraîné par la couronne dentée (58) dudit deuxième rotor (30);
caractérisé en ce que
au niveau de chacun desdits paliers de suspension (44, 46), ladite goulotte(42) est équipée d'un levier de pivotement (48, 50) faisant saillie vers le haut par rapport au palier de suspension (44, 46), et
chacune desdites bielles (68, 70) connecte une des deux manivelles (64,66) a un des deux leviers de pivotement (48, 50) de façon à ce que les deux bielles (68, 70) soient agencées au-dessus dudit collet horizontal (26) symétriquement de part et d'autre dudit manchon de suspension vertical (24).
Translation - English 1. A bulk material distribution apparatus for a furnace (12) comprising: an outer housing (14) provided with a fixed charging sleeve (16) and equipped at its bottom end with a screen (72) defining a circular orifice (84);
a first rotor (20) with an approximately vertical rotational axis (18), said first rotor (20) comprising a vertical suspension sleeve (24) which is provided, at its bottom end with a horizontal collar (26) arranged with little operational clearance in said orifice (84) of said bottom screen (72);
two suspension bearings (44, 46), which are arranged on said horizontal collar (26) on either side of said suspension sleeve (24);
a chute (42) suspended in these two suspension bearings (44, 46) so that it can pivot around an approximately horizontal pivoting axis;
a second rotor (30) with rotational axis coaxial with said first rotor (20) this second rotor (30) being equipped with a crown gear (58);
a gear drive (52) carried by said first rotor (20) said gear drive (52) comprising:
an input shaft (54), which is provided with a pinion (56) that meshes with the crown gear (58) of said second rotor (30);
an output shaft (60), which is parallel to the pivoting axis of the chute (42) and comprises two cranks (64, 66); and
two link rods (68, 70) connecting the two cranks (64, 66) to said chute (42) so as to make a link rod-crank system producing a pivoting of the chute (42), when said input shaft (54) is driven by the crown gear (58) of said second rotor (30);
characterized in that
at the level of each of said suspension bearings (44, 46), said chute (42) is equipped with a pivoting lever (48, 50) projecting upwards in relation to the suspension bearing (44, 46), and
each of said link rods (68, 70) connects one of the two cranks (64,66) to one of the two pivoting levers (48, 50) so that the two link rods (68, 70) are arranged above the said horizontal collar (26) symmetrically on either side of said vertical suspension sleeve (24).
