Definitions

  • the image is captured by a camera from a direction slanted with respect to the oven walls.
  • a video camera housed in a heat insulated container is oriented vertical to the wall surface to capture an image.
  • the data recorder 22 is sent the capture current position data 35 found based on the current position data of the pusher ram 44, so this data is also sent to the processor 30 and image display 31.
  • the center beam vertical plane when making the spot beam at the center of the width direction of the beam in the light beam 63 generating the line of light 65 the center beam 69, the plane including the center beam 69 vertical to the oven wall surface 66 will be referred to here as the "center beam vertical plane".
  • intersecting line 70 The line where the plane formed by the oven wall and the plane formed by the mirror surface intersect will be referred to here as the "intersecting line 70".
  • the intersecting line 70 becomes a line in the vertical direction.
  • the camera apparatus 8 it is possible to adjust the aperture of the optical system or adjust the exposure time in accordance with the luminance of the oven wall surface and thereby obtain an optimal image of the oven wall surface. Normally, it is possible to automatically obtain the optimal image by the exposure control function of the camera apparatus 8.
  • the measurement apparatus of the present invention moves inside the oven, it is preferable to use a radiation thermometer as a temperature measuring means. Further, in measuring the intensity of the thermal radiation light, it is also possible to measure the average intensity of light of the total wavelength of the visible light, but it is also possible to take out and measure only the light intensity of the wavelength region centered on the wavelength of the light beam emitted.
  • the total damage of the left and right sides can be calculated based on this measured value.'At the very least, if the viewed portions at the left and right are sound portions where no local damage is viewed, since it may be considered that the damage will proceed evenly at the left and right, half of the total damage measured can be evaluated as the damage of the oven wall at each sound portion.
  • the heat insulated container returned from the 1000°C oven is high in temperature at the outside, so the inside data cannot be taken out until after the elapse of a certain time.
  • the trouble of taking out the oven wall shape measurement apparatus 61 from the oven, then waiting until the apparatus cools before taking out the image data is not required, so it is possible to quickly confirm the state of the oven walls. Further, it is possible to immediately use the oven wall shape measurement apparatus 61 taken out from the coking chamber for viewing of the next coking chamber.
  • an opening or a safety valve is provided at the top of the heat insulated container 3.
  • the car 40 of the pusher 43 continuously successively repeats the work of pushing out the coke of the coking chamber finished being carbonized while moving on rails at 5 to 10 minute intervals and simultaneously measures the shapes of the oven walls of a large number of coking chambers.
  • the camera apparatus 8 is moved in the depth direction of the oven by for example as shown in Fig. 3 mounting the heat insulated container 3 housing the camera apparatus 8 etc. on the coke pusher 43 and inserting the coke pusher 43 into the oven or extracting it from the oven at a constant speed by operation of a ram driver 46. It is possible to move the camera apparatus 8 while continuously capturing images and view the results of capture as a moving image.
  • the light beam emitters 62a and 62b were arranged at positions of the same height as the camera apparatus 8 in the first embodiment as shown in FIG. 12(a) and emitted light beams 63 generating lines of light 65.
  • the direction of emission of the center beam 69 was the horizontal direction.
  • the beam was emitted in a slanted direction at an angle ⁇ with the oven wall surface 66 of 30°.
  • the line of light 65 was oriented in the height direction in the oven wall surface 66.
  • the length of the line of light 65 at the oven wall surface 66 was 200 mm.
