Both sides of the rotary platform 2 are U-shaped fork structures, the number of the card seat 3 is four, and they are respectively located at the upper ends of both sides of the two U-shaped forks, and are symmetrically arranged. The number of telescopic gas rods 7 inside a single card seat 3 is two, and The outer circumference thereof is sleeved with a joint buffer spring 8. The inside of the telescopic gas rod 7 is communicated with the airway 51 through a connecting pipe 52. The airway 51 in the support rod 5 is communicated with the air outlet 54. The large steel ladle is placed on the fork seat 3 of the rotary platform 2 through a steel plant special gantry crane. At this time, the blocks arranged on both sides of the steel ladle will be stuck in the inside of the seat 3 and interact with each other. As the steel ladle moves downward, the blocks will squeeze the fixed plate 4 located inside the seat 3. The fixed plate 4 is subjected to pressure and begins to squeeze the telescopic gas rod 7 and the buffer spring 8. As the telescopic gas rod 7 contracts, the gas inside it The gas will enter the air channel 51 on the support rod 5 through the connecting pipe 52. As the ladle continues to move downward, the gas inside the telescopic gas rod 7 is pressurized to enter the air cavity 64 of the first protective rod 61 through the air outlet 54, and then enter the ventilation groove 65 of the second protective rod 62. Under the action of the gas, the second protective rod 62 will begin to slide in the air cavity 64 on the first protective rod 61, so that the telescopic rod 6 is extended, and the steel-making furnace is slowly lowered by the interception of the fixed block, thereby ensuring the stability of the descent of the steel-making furnace.

[0021] Embodiment 2, as Figure 1-4As shown, the telescopic rod 6 includes a first protective rod 61 and a second protective rod 62.

The interiors of the two support rods 632 are both hollow structures. The inner surface of the inner cavity 631 on the first support rod 63 is slidably connected to the second support rod 632, and it is connected to the interior of the second support rod 632. During the extension of the telescopic rod 6, the gas inside it will begin to inflate the first support rod 63 under the pressure of the telescopic gas rod 7, so that the first support rod 63 and the second support rod 632 are completely extended, so that the second support rod 632 slides in the inner cavity 631 on the first support rod 63 until the sliding rod inside the second support rod 632 conflicts with the ladle. At this point, the telescopic rod 6 is completely extended, and the fixed plate 4 is pressed to the bottom of the holder 3, thereby completing the protection of the ladle, improving the stability of the ladle placed on the rotary platform 2, and facilitating the stability of the subsequent steelmaking furnace during use.

[0022] Working principle: During operation, a large steel ladle is placed on the fork seat 3 of the rotary platform 2 through a steel plant's special gantry crane. At this time, the blocks arranged on both sides of the steel ladle will be stuck in the seat 3 and interact with each other. As the steel ladle moves downward, the blocks will squeeze the fixed plate 4 inside the seat 3. The fixed plate 4 is subjected to pressure and begins to squeeze the telescopic gas rod 7 and the buffer spring 8. As the telescopic gas rod 7 contracts, the gas inside it will enter the air channel 51 on the support rod 5 through the connecting pipe 52. As the steel ladle continues to move downward, the gas inside the telescopic gas rod 7 is subjected to pressure and enters the air cavity 64 of the first protective rod 61 through the air outlet 54, and then enters the ventilation groove 65 of the second protective rod 62. Under the action of the gas, the second protective rod 62 will begin to move on the first protective rod 61 The telescopic rod 6 slides in the air cavity 64, so that the telescopic rod 6 is extended. At this time, the two support rods 5 on the support block 53 and the telescopic rods 6 thereon begin to extend, and the steel-making furnace located at the fork on the rotating platform 2 is frame-intercepted. During the extension of the telescopic rod 6, the gas inside it will begin to inflate the first support rod 63 under the pressure of the telescopic gas rod 7, so that the first support rod 63 and the second support rod 632 are extended, so that the second support rod 632 slides in the inner cavity 631 on the first support rod 63 until the sliding rod inside the second support rod 632 conflicts with the ladle. At this point, the telescopic rod 6 is extended, and the fixed plate 4 is pressed to the bottom of the holder 3, so as to complete the protection of the ladle and improve the stability of the ladle placed on the rotating platform 2.
