One end of the walking beam 611 has an installation opening, and the installation opening has a limit block 6110. The limit block 6110 is installed with the left side wall of the walking beam 611 through a spring. One end of the wire rope 6181 is connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 618, and the other end of the wire rope 6181 passes through the walking beam 611 and is connected to the limit block 6110.

[0067] The supporting seat 6251 includes an upper U-shaped frame 62511 and a lower U-shaped frame 62512, and an annular cylinder 62513 is installed in the upper U-shaped frame 62511 and the lower U-shaped frame 6251. The supporting tray 624 is fixedly installed on the annular cylinder 62513, and the annular cylinder 62513 is used to realize the installation of the supporting tray 624. In addition, the annular cylinder 62513 is installed in the U-shaped frame 6251 to play a supporting and tightening role. Under the action of the annular cylinder 62513, the supporting seat 6251 can walk stably in the rotating walking space formed by the inner plate 621, the outer plate 622 and the base 623, thereby reducing the vibration generated by the single supporting seat 6251 in the walking space, which affects the transportation of the eye-blocking material.

[0068] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 6 is used to deliver the plugging material to the furnace eye, and cooperate with the tamping rod grasped by the telescopic arm 4 to tamp the material so as to seal the furnace eye. The specific working method is as follows: Fig.15 As shown in the figure, the "eye-blocking material" is placed on the support tray 624, and the rotary drive reducer 626 drives the driving turntable 627 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the first groove 628 and the first pin 6252, the driving turntable 627 drives the rotary walking mechanism 625 to transmit in the rotary walking space formed by the inner enclosure plate 621, the outer enclosure plate 622 and the base 623. When the "eye-blocking material" is transported to the support tray 624, the driving turntable 627 drives the rotary walking mechanism 625 to rotate. Fig.11 1 station on the support tray 624, at this time, the push cylinder 629 pushes the "eye-blocking material" into the feeding hopper 618, and then, as shown in Figure 11-Figure 14 As shown, the transmission reducer 614 drives the active transmission sprocket 616 to rotate, and the active transmission sprocket 616 drives the transmission chain 617, and the transmission chain 617 drives the walking beam 611 to slide in the guide groove 6121 of the guide mechanism 612. When the feeding hopper 618 is pushed to the furnace eye of the furnace body by the walking beam 611, under the dragging action of the wire rope 6181 at the bottom of the feeding hopper 618 (because one end of the wire rope 6181 is connected to the feeding hopper 618, and the other end is connected to the limit block 6110, when the walking beam 611 drives the feeding hopper 618 to move, the wire rope 6181 is stretched, and finally the feeding hopper 618 is flipped relative to the feeding hopper hinge seat 619), the "eye-blocking material" in the feeding hopper 618 is dumped into the furnace eye.

[0069] When the "eye-blocking material" is poured into the furnace eye, the clamping mechanism 46 installed on the telescopic arm 4 carries a tamping rod, and under the longitudinal movement of the longitudinal movement mechanism 2, the "eye-blocking material" at the furnace eye is tamped to seal the furnace eye.

[0070] A furnace unloading robot realizes the process of opening the furnace eye, including picking up the opening tool and poking the furnace eye:

[0071] Pick up the eye-opening tool: first, the ring rail mechanism 1 is driven by the ring rail driving assembly 12 to slide on the track, adjust the robot to the vicinity of the tool rack 7, and rotate the telescopic arm 4 through the rotary reducer 31 on the rotary mechanism 3, so that the clamping mechanism 46 installed on the telescopic arm 4 is aligned with the eye-opening tool 8 on the tool rack 7, and then start the driving motor 41. The driving motor 41 drives the moving cover 45 to move linearly under the action of the driving sprocket 47, the driven sprocket 48 and the chain 49 until the clamping mechanism 46 installed on the moving cover 45 grabs the eye-opening tool 8;

[0072] Poking the furnace eye: After picking up the eye-opening tool 8, the rotary reducer 31 rotates in the opposite direction, and the ring track mechanism 1 runs on the track, so that the entire robot is adjusted to the position of the furnace body to be opened, and the pitch mechanism 5 is adjusted to make the eye-opening tool 8 grasped by the clamping mechanism 46 align with the furnace eye, and then the longitudinal moving mechanism 2 and the telescopic small arm 4 adjust the position of the entire eye-opening tool 8 forward and backward, so that the eye-opening tool 8 intermittently / reciprocatingly moves to poke the furnace eye;

[0073] A furnace-out robot realizes the process of plugging the eye:

[0074] After the furnace robot picks up the eye-blocking tamping rod, the "eye-blocking material" is placed on the support tray 624, and the rotary drive reducer 626 drives the drive turntable 627 to rotate, and cooperates with the pushing cylinder 629 to push the "eye-blocking material" into the feeding hopper 618. Subsequently, the transmission reducer 614 drives the walking beam 611 to slide in the guide groove 6121 of the guide mechanism 612 through the active transmission sprocket 616 and the transmission chain 617, and pours the "eye-blocking material" in the feeding hopper 618 into the furnace eye, and then the longitudinal moving mechanism 2 and the telescopic arm 4 adjust the position of the entire eye-blocking tamping rod forward and backward, and use the tamping rod to tamp the "eye-blocking material" at the furnace eye to seal the furnace eye.
