Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of roasting processing equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a trolley lifting system. Background Art

[0002] The traveling grate is a thermal equipment for producing pellet materials for blast furnaces. For the roasting system, ensuring the operation rate means ensuring economic benefits. The key component of this equipment - the trolley needs to be replaced irregularly, that is, the machine needs to be stopped. Stopping for replacement is time-consuming and laborious. It takes at least 20 minutes to replace one trolley; during the replacement process, manual operations such as "opening the door" (opening the track) and "closing the door" (closing the track) are required, and manual operation of the crane is needed to position the trolley; in addition, the production system needs to perform complex thermal operations such as reducing the machine speed, stopping the machine, and adjusting the hot air system.

[0003] Among them, during the manual operation of lifting the trolley, it is necessary to manually clamp the lifting tool on the old trolley and manually lift it to the ground; then manually lift the new trolley above the head track and manually align it with the vacant position left by the old trolley; manually place the new trolley. Due to the narrow placement area, the trolley often tilts due to eccentricity and is not placed stably, so repeated alignment or repeated adjustment of the vacant position is required, which takes a lot of time; after placing the trolley, it is also necessary to manually disassemble the lifting tool, and then slowly start the traveling grate and adjust the process thermal system to make the traveling grate reach the normal production state. During this process, the quality of the produced pellets is unstable, wasting the energy of the operators, and increasing costs such as fuel, water, electricity, gas, and oil, and reducing the output. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One object of the present invention is to solve at least the above problems and provide at least the advantages described later.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a trolley lifting system, which can realize the automatic lifting of old and new trolleys, solve the problems of deceleration, shutdown, and production reduction caused by trolley replacement during the production of the traveling grate, and at the same time solve the labor cost of maintenance.

The controller controls the lifting appliance to clamp the wheels of the old trolley. After clamping, the first weighing sensor weighs to confirm successful clamping, and controls the robotic arm to drive the lifting appliance to lift.

Multiple laser rangefinders II measure the distance between the lifting device and the new trolley storage track, and control the robotic arm to drive the lifting device to lower a certain distance and stop. The controller controls the lifting device to release the new trolley. After release, the weighing sensor II weighs it to confirm successful release. The controller controls the robotic arm to drive the lifting device to lift, completing the action of replenishing the new trolley in place. At the same time, the controller reminds to replenish the new trolley on the new trolley placement rack;
