[0002] In the steelmaking and continuous casting processes in the steelmaking process, it is necessary to extract a metal solution sample body from the metal solution and analyze the chemical composition and other parameters based on the sample. When extracting the metal solution sample body, a rod-shaped temperature-measuring sampling probe with temperature-measuring sampling function is usually sleeved on a vertically moving temperature-measuring sampling gun (hereinafter referred to as a temperature-measuring gun), the temperature-measuring gun is inserted into a ladle loaded with liquid molten metal through a transmission mechanism, the probe has a thermocouple to complete the temperature detection of the molten metal, and the molten metal enters a steel mold through the sampling port of the probe. When the probe leaves the ladle, the metal solidifies in the steel mold and forms a solid sample, which is taken out and sent to the analysis room for detection of its chemical composition and other parameters.

[0003] Usually, such a temperature-measuring sampling probe is mainly composed of two paper long circular tubes, which are divided into a clamping section and a sampling section. In order to analyze the metal composition in the ladle in real time, the solidified metal sample body must be separated from the sampling section of the temperature-measuring sampling probe. At present, the temperature-measuring sampling probe is manually sleeved on the temperature-measuring gun, the temperature-measuring gun with the temperature-measuring sampling probe enters the ladle loaded with molten metal to complete the temperature-measuring sampling operation, and then is lifted up. The operator removes the probe from the temperature-measuring gun and knocks the paper tube of the sampling section, thereby taking out the metal sample body. Since the sampling probe body is mostly in a burning state during manual operation, and the thick smoke and dust generated by steelmaking and the high temperature of the ladle cause damage to the health of the operator.

[0004] The existing temperature-measuring sampling probe replacement method, such as Chinese Patent Application No. CN201922259240.4, discloses "a robot temperature-measuring sampling automatic plug device", which includes a sampling device, an automatic grabbing device, a sampling rod storage device, and a measured product storage device. In view of the high operation rate and harsh environmental conditions of steelmaking temperature sampling, combined with the running accuracy and programmability of the robot, the process of automatic sampling and storage is realized. The specific structure and technical details of the grabbing device are not introduced in this scheme.

[0005] Chinese patent application number CN201811613127.5 discloses "a temperature measuring probe and automatic docking device of temperature measuring gun", the automatic docking device includes a mechanical hand with an opening angle, a translational mechanical hand, both of which are fixed on a frame, the frame is arranged on the mechanical hand, two half-cone plates are respectively fixed on the two clamping fingers of the mechanical hand with an opening angle, when the clamping fingers of the mechanical hand with an opening angle are in a clamping closed state, the two half-cone plates are docked together to form a conical cylinder, the axis of the conical cylinder is perpendicular to the positioning plate, and a position sensor is installed on the positioning plate. The position sensor installed in this patent cannot detect the position of the probe in the clamping jaw, nor can it detect the axis of the temperature measuring gun, which may affect the docking operation.

[0020] 2) The six-axis manipulator drives the temperature measuring sampling probe to approach the head of the temperature measuring gun, the left and right positioning fingers of the positioning claw cross and close to surround the head of the temperature measuring gun in the positioning space formed by the two, then the clamping jaw clamps the temperature measuring sampling probe to be sleeved into the head of the temperature measuring gun, when the head of the temperature measuring gun is at least 30 mm inside the clamping section of the temperature measuring sampling probe, the left and right positioning fingers of the positioning claw release the temperature measuring gun, then the six-axis manipulator drives the temperature measuring sampling probe to complete the sleeving on the temperature measuring gun, then the six-axis manipulator is separated from the temperature measuring gun, and the temperature measuring gun drives the temperature measuring sampling probe to descend into the molten metal package to detect the temperature of the molten metal and obtain the molten metal sample.
