PURPOSE: To provide a method and apparatus which enable automatic recognition of the posture of a coke oven door from the side of a moving machine of a coke oven instead of the conventional manned judgement and also enable automatic attaching and detaching of the door. ;CONSTITUTION: The apparatus and method are based on the measurement of deviation of a door 21 of a coke oven in the directions of X, Y, and Z axes using a range finder such as an optical range finder 2 and a turning-angle detection section. The apparatus comprises the range finder 2 for measuring the distance between the door 21 and the point to be detected, a turning mechanism 4 capable of turning the finder 2 relatively to the door 21, the turning-angle detection section combined with the turning mechanism, and a computing unit 5 which computes and judges values of the detected posture of the door 21 based on a detected turning angle and a detected distance. The result of computing at the unit 5 is regarded as the deviation from the standard posture, and thus the posture of the door 21 distorted in the front-rear, right-left, and diagonal directions relative to the oven is recognized.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO&Japio
