Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of refractory spraying technology, specifically to an online automatic spraying machine for electric furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] A spraying machine is a construction tool that sprays unshaped refractory materials onto the lining of thermal equipment. It is used for spraying or repairing the lining of thermal equipment and has advantages such as simple construction, reduced labor intensity, and extended equipment service life.
[0003] Spraying machines can generally be divided into three types: wet spraying machines, dry spraying machines, and flame spraying machines. Wet spraying machines are suitable for wet spraying. They use compressed air to propel refractory powder of a certain consistency from a hopper onto the lining of thermal equipment through a spray gun. Because the refractory powder has a high moisture content, the temperature of the masonry drops sharply during repair, easily causing further damage to the original masonry, resulting in poor spraying effects. Dry spraying machines, on the other hand, are suitable for dry spraying. They use compressed air to blow dry refractory powder from a hopper to the front of the spray gun, where it mixes with water to become moist before being sprayed onto the lining. Because the refractory powder has a suitable moisture content, the spraying effect is better.
[0004] Traditional spraying machines, whether wet or dry, mostly rely on manual spraying operations, which are difficult to operate, inefficient, and have limited and flexible control methods.
[0005] Therefore, we propose an online automatic spraying machine for electric furnaces to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an online automatic spraying machine for electric furnaces, which solves the problems of traditional spraying machines, whether wet or dry spraying, which mostly rely on manual spraying operations, resulting in difficulties in operation, low efficiency, and limited and inflexible application control methods.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0041] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, in some embodiments, the four-bar cantilever 203 is fixedly mounted on the support 201 via a robotic arm rotation mechanism 202. The four-bar cantilever 203 consists of a first cantilever, a second cantilever, a third cantilever, and a fourth cantilever. One end of the first cantilever is fixed to the robotic arm rotation mechanism 202. The second cantilever is rotatably connected to the other end of the first cantilever. The lifting cylinder 204 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the first cantilever. The piston rod end of the lifting cylinder 204 is rotatably connected to the second cantilever. The third cantilever is rotatably connected to the second cantilever away from the first cantilever.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding pipeline 212 is connected to the conveying pipeline of the automatic feeder 1. The feeding pipeline 212 includes a front section pipeline, a middle section pipeline, and a rear section pipeline. The hydraulic power unit 211 is connected in series to the front section pipeline. The front section pipeline is also equipped with a mixing connector 213, which is connected to an external water source. The water source is filtered industrial water from the factory. The hydraulic power unit 211 is connected in series to the water source pipeline for conveying filtered industrial water to the feeding pipeline 212. The front section pipeline and the middle section pipeline are rotatably connected by a refractory swivel joint 209. The front section pipeline is fixed on the support 201, and the middle section pipeline is fixed on the second cantilever. The rotary joint 209 is linked with the robotic arm rotary mechanism 202, so that the front section of the four-bar cantilever 203 remains fixed during rotation, while the middle and rear sections of the pipe rotate around the centerline of the support 201 with the four-bar cantilever 203. The middle and rear sections of the pipe are rotatably connected by the composite rotary joint 210. The composite rotary joint 210 is linked with the rotary drive mechanism 205, so that the middle section of the pipe remains fixed during rotation, while the rear section of the pipe rotates with the fourth cantilever. The end of the rear section of the pipe away from the middle section of the pipe is connected to the feed port of the spray gun 208.
[0043] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the refractory rotary joint 209 includes a first fixed joint 2091, a first sleeve joint 2092, a first pipeline connection joint 2093, and a first connecting sleeve 2094. The first fixed joint 2091 is fixed at the centerline position of the support 201. The feed end of the first fixed joint 2091 is connected to the discharge end of the front pipeline. The first sleeve joint 2092 is fixedly installed on the first cantilever by bolt assembly. The first pipeline connection joint 2093 is sealed and connected to the first moving joint 2092. When the first cantilever rotates under the drive of the robot arm rotary mechanism 202, the first pipeline connection joint 2093 rotates synchronously with the first cantilever. The first pipeline connection joint 2093 is connected to the middle pipeline through the first connecting sleeve 2094.
[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the composite rotary joint 210 includes a second connecting sleeve 2101, a second fixed joint 2102, a second sleeve connector 2103, and a third connecting sleeve 2104. The middle section of the pipeline is connected to the second fixed joint 2102 via the second connecting sleeve 2101. The second sleeve connector 2103 is sleeved outside the second fixed joint 2102 and is rotatably connected to the second fixed joint 2102. The second sleeve connector 2103 is fixed on the fourth cantilever. The downstream pipeline is connected via the third connecting sleeve 2104. The sleeve 2104 is connected to the second fixed connector 2102. The bottom end of the fourth cantilever is provided with a two-way connector. The end of the rear pipeline away from the third connecting sleeve 2104 is rotatably connected to the two-way connector. The other interface of the two-way connector is connected to the support rotary connector 214. The support rotary connector 214 includes a fixed connector and a moving connector. The fixed connector is fixedly connected to the fourth cantilever. The moving connector is rotatably connected to the fixed connector. The positioning column 207 is fixed on the moving connector. The refractory outlet of the moving connector is connected to the refractory inlet of the spray gun 208.
[0045] Both the robotic arm rotation mechanism 202 and the rotation drive mechanism 205 use a combination of motor and gear set to achieve load rotation. Specifically, taking the robotic arm rotation mechanism 202 as an example, the robotic arm rotation mechanism 202 includes a rotation motor, a drive gear and a fixed gear. The drive gear is connected to the output shaft end of the rotation motor, and the fixed gear is installed at the top middle position of the support 201. The rotation motor is installed on the chassis of the first cantilever. The chassis is rotatably connected to the fixed gear, and the chassis is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first sleeve joint 2092. The drive gear meshes with the fixed gear. When the rotation motor drives the drive gear to rotate, it drives the first cantilever and the rotation motor to move around the fixed gear, thereby driving the spray gun 208 to rotate around the fixed gear.
[0046] like Figure 5As shown, the rotary drive mechanism 205 and the robotic arm rotary mechanism 202 have roughly the same structure. The difference is that in the rotary drive mechanism 205, the fixed gear is replaced with the driven gear. The rotary motor drives the active gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear meshing with the active gear to rotate, thereby driving the fourth cantilever fixed at the bottom of the driven gear to rotate.
[0047] In this embodiment, the pitch drive mechanism 206 is also driven by a hydraulic cylinder. The extension end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the moving joint of the support rotary joint 214. The positioning column 207 is fixed on the moving joint. During operation, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder rod drives the support rotary joint 214 to rotate around the fixed joint of the support rotary joint 214.
[0048] Feeding operation: Press the feeding button on the electrical control cabinet 3. The automatic feeder 1 first opens the discharge valve 111 (also known as the exhaust valve), and then opens the feed valve 108 on the hopper 102. The bag breaker 107 on the hopper 102 punctures the refractory bag, and the refractory is added into the pressure tank 101 through the screen 106. Turn on the pneumatic vibrator 103 on the hopper 102 to accelerate the feeding by vibration. After feeding is completed, the weighing display instrument on the electrical control cabinet 3 will display the weight of the refractory. Pressing the end button will automatically close the feed valve 108 and the discharge valve 111.
[0049] Spraying operation: 1) Open the main air inlet valve and check whether the pressure in the pressure tank 101, the auxiliary spraying pressure, and the spraying chamber 112 on the automatic feeder 1 are normal; at this time, compressed air will be blown out from the nozzle of the spray gun 208, and the remaining refractory material in the spraying tube will also be blown out and cleaned.
[0050] 2) Select automatic or manual operation mode on the electrical control cabinet 3 or the wireless remote control, and press the start button. The lifting cylinder 204 extends and retracts, the spray gun 208 is raised and tilted upward under the drive of the pitch drive mechanism 206; the robotic arm rotation mechanism 202 rotates to the center of the electric furnace 4. At this time, the solenoid valve on the water supply pipeline opens, and the spray gun sprays water mist. After confirming the area to be sprayed, press the discharge button. The spraying machine will automatically spray the refractory onto the refractory melting area in the electric furnace 4 and sinter it at high temperature in the furnace. If manual spraying is selected, the spraying robotic arm 2 will be operated by the dual joysticks on the remote control to complete the spraying operation. When the spraying is finished, press the end button. The electrical control system will automatically close the discharge valve, raise the spray gun 208, rotate it to the standby position, close the solenoid valve on the water supply pipeline, and then close the main blow solenoid valve.
