[0002] Currently, refractoriness refers to the Celsius temperature at which a conical refractory material specimen resists high temperatures without softening or melting under no load. The refractory material manufacturing industry is a traditional and labor-intensive industry. The clay production process has basically achieved automated production, but clay distribution is still mostly done manually. The level of automation is not high, and the production efficiency cannot keep up with the needs of automated pressing and stable product quality. Generally, after distribution, the clay is sent to the designated press, where the clay type is manually confirmed, added to the hopper, and then manually weighed, distributed, and shaped.

[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1 A slurry distribution device for a refractory material production line includes a conveyor line 1, a slurry receiving bracket 2, a mixing mill 3, an AGV stacker 4, a slurry 5, a control cabinet 6, and a material placing machine 14. The slurry receiving bracket 2 is fixedly installed at the discharge port of the mixing mill 3, and the slurry 5 is installed on the AGV stacker 4. The AGV stacker 4 and the material placing machine 14 are both located on the conveyor line 1.
[0033] A full-filling cup feeding position 12 is provided on conveyor line 1 and behind the material receiving bracket 2. After the material cup 5 is filled with mud, it can move along conveyor line 1 to the full-filling cup feeding position 12. A slack-filling position 13 is provided on conveyor line 1 and behind the full-filling cup feeding position 12. The filled material cup 5 can move along conveyor line to the slack-filling position 13 for slack-filling work. There are two sets of slack-filling positions 13. The material cup spreading machine 14 is installed on conveyor line 1 behind the slack-filling position 13. After slack-filling, the material cup 5 can move along conveyor line 1 to the material cup spreading machine 1. Material is unloaded from above. An empty material cup storage position 15 is provided on the conveyor line 1 behind the material placing machine 14. After unloading, the empty material cup 5 can move along the conveyor line 1 to the empty material cup storage position 15 for storage. An empty material cup exit position 11 is provided on the conveyor line 1 behind the empty material cup storage position 15. The empty material cup 5 can move from the empty material cup storage position 15 along the conveyor line 1 to the empty material cup exit position 11 for preparation. The conveyor line 1 behind the empty material cup exit position 11 is connected to the material cup receiving bracket 2 to form a loop, so the above operation can be repeated.
[0034] The control cabinet 6 is equipped with a control system, which can send control commands, record mud transfer, query the operation record of AGV stacker 4, and handle emergency operation failures. The control system can use intelligent logistics system software, and manual operation of the intelligent logistics system can realize the automatic distribution of refractory mud throughout the entire process.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Please see Figure 2 A weighing platform 21 is embedded in the material receiving bracket 2. A weighing sensor is provided at the bottom of the weighing platform 21. When the material cup 5 moves to the top to receive material, the weighing work can be carried out. A bracket 22 is fixedly installed on the top side of the material receiving bracket 2.
[0037] The bracket 22 is fixedly installed with a scanning dock 23. The AGV stacker 4 has a code printed on its body. The scanning dock 23 can scan the code on the body of the AGV stacker 4 to complete the recording of material output. The code height corresponds to the height of the scanning dock 23, ensuring that the scanning dock 23 can complete the scanning operation smoothly.
[0038] In addition, weighing data and data recorded after scanning can be uploaded to the control system.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] Please see Figure 2 The top of the material container 5 is equipped with a sealing cover 51. The material container 5 can be filled by closing the sealing cover 51. The bottom of the material container 5 is equipped with a bottom plate 52. The outer boxes 53 are symmetrically installed on the outer walls of both sides of the material container 5. The upper and lower sides of the outer box 53 are respectively equipped with a three-section electric push rod A54 and a three-section electric push rod B57. The front ends of the three-section electric push rod A54 and the three-section electric push rod B57 are respectively equipped with a movable rod A55 and a movable rod B58.
[0041] The sealing cover 51 and the bottom plate 52 are respectively fixedly welded to the front end of the bracket A56 and the bracket B59. The movable rod A55 is fixedly welded to the bracket A56, and the movable rod B58 is fixedly welded to the bracket B59. Therefore, when the three-section electric push rod A54 extends, it can drive the movable rod A55 and the bracket A56 to move forward, which can open the sealing cover 51. When it retracts, it can control the sealing cover 51 to close. When the three-section electric push rod B57 extends, it can drive the movable rod B58 and the bracket B59 to move forward, thereby opening the bottom plate 52 to discharge the material. When it retracts, it can close the bottom plate 52 to ensure that the mud is stored smoothly in the material container 5.
[0042] In an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 1There are two sets of conveyor lines 1. The two sets of conveyor lines 1 share the same set of full material cup inlet position 12 and empty material cup outlet position 11. By having the two sets of conveyor lines 1 share the same set of full material cup inlet position 12 and empty material cup outlet position 11, the space occupied can be effectively saved and the distribution efficiency can be improved.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A battery 511 is fixedly installed in the center of the inner side of the outer casing 53, and a wireless module 510 is fixedly installed on the front wall of the material container 5. The wireless module 510 is connected to the control cabinet 6, the three-section electric push rod A54 and the three-section electric push rod B57 via signal connection; the battery 511 can provide power for operation.
[0044] The battery 511 is electrically connected to the three-section electric actuator A54, the three-section electric actuator B57 and the wireless module 510; the three-section electric actuator A54 and the three-section electric actuator B57 can be controlled remotely by receiving control commands issued by the control cabinet 6 through the wireless module 510.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The material receiving bracket 2 has a sloping structure on both the front and rear sides, and anti-slip grooves are provided on the sloping surface; the sloping surface and anti-slip grooves allow the material cup 5 to smoothly enter and exit the material receiving bracket 2, and prevent slippage to ensure stability.
[0046] The working principle is as follows: First, the material is received by the material container 5 below the mixer 3. According to instructions from the upper-level information system, the material container 5 is transported along the conveyor line 1 to the full material container feeding position 12 via the AGV stacker 4. Then, according to process requirements, it is moved to the emptying position 13 for emptying. During emptying, the three-section electric push rod A54 can be remotely and automatically retracted, which drives the sealing cover 51 to seal the material container 5. Since there are two sets of emptying positions 13, two sets of AGV stackers 4 can be parked simultaneously. Following the principle of first-in, first-out, the AGV stacker 4 transports the full material cup 5 along the conveyor line 1 to the corresponding material placing machine 14. Then, the three-section electric push rod B57 can be remotely controlled to extend, driving the base plate 52 forward to achieve automatic material discharge. After discharge, the AGV stacker 4 can carry the empty material cup 5 to the empty material cup storage position 15. Finally, after entering the empty material cup exit position 11, the AGV stacker 4 can transport the empty material cup 5 to the material receiving position of the mixing mill again. This cycle is repeated to achieve mud distribution.
[0047] It should be noted that the present invention is a mud distribution device for a refractory material production line. Its components are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Its structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
