[0052] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0053] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the automatic slag removal robot provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of an automatic slag removal robot provided by one embodiment of the present invention;

[0054] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A in the enlarged view; Figure 4The figure is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the image acquisition component in the automatic slag removal robot provided by one embodiment of the present invention. The automatic slag removal robot 1 is used to clamp the pneumatic pick 6 to clean the slag on the bottom blowing furnace 7. The automatic slag removal robot 1 includes a robot body 11, an image acquisition component 12 and a clamp component 13. The clamp component 13 includes a connecting disk, one side of the connecting disk is connected to the end of the robot body 11, and the other side is provided with a connecting sleeve 1321 for fixing the pneumatic pick 6. The image acquisition component 12 is installed on the connecting disk to dynamically collect the image data of the bottom blowing furnace under the movement of the robot body 11.

[0055] The robot body 11 is arranged in the bottom blowing furnace workshop, and connected to the end of the robot body 11 by using a connecting disk, and a connecting sleeve 1321 for fixing the pneumatic pick 6 is set on the other side of the connecting disk, so that the connecting sleeve 1321 can be fixed on the robot body 11 through the connecting disk, so that the robot body 11 can drive the pneumatic pick 6 to move in the bottom blowing furnace workshop, and the image acquisition component 12 is installed on the connecting disk, so that the image acquisition component 12 can collect image data of the bottom blowing furnace, so that the operator can view the slagging situation in the bottom blowing furnace through a remote image display device, and when the slagging situation in the bottom blowing furnace reaches a level that requires cleaning, the robot body 11 is controlled to drive the pneumatic pick 6 to extend into the bottom blowing furnace for slagging operations, and at the same time, the image acquisition component 12 obtains image data during slagging in real time, so that the operator can view the slagging effect of the bottom blowing furnace through a remote image display device, and after the cleaning is completed, the robot body 11 is controlled to end the slagging, that is, the robot body 11 is controlled to drive the pneumatic pick 6 to move out of the bottom blowing furnace.

[0056] It can be understood that the image display device is connected with the image acquisition component 12 by signal, and the signal connection method includes any one of wired signal connection and wireless signal connection. The method of controlling the robot body 11 to drive the pneumatic pick 6 to remove slag can be to use the robot controller to perform real-time control on the robot body 11, such as controlling the robot body 11 to drive the pneumatic pick 6 to turn left or right through the robot controller. It can also be to use a programming language to perform complex and repetitive control on the robot body 11, such as controlling the robot body 11 to drive the pneumatic pick 6 to move to the top of the bottom blowing furnace through the programming language, and then adjusting the angle of the pneumatic pick 6 and extending the pneumatic pick 6 into the bottom blowing furnace.

[0057] Among them, the image acquisition component 12 dynamically acquires the bottom blowing furnace image data, that is, the image data acquired by the image acquisition component 12 moves with the movement of the robot body 11, thereby forming the first-perspective image data of the robot body 11, which improves the slag cleaning sense of the operator when remotely viewing the image data.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, the connection method between the connecting disk and the end of the robot body 11 includes any one of a pneumatic expansion connection and a bolt connection, and the pneumatic pick 6 and the connecting sleeve 1321 are fixed by a plug-in connection and a bolt is used to support the pneumatic pick 6 from the side of the connecting sleeve 1321 for fixing.

[0059] The automatic slag removal robot 1 of the present invention can replace manual labor to perform slag removal operations in harsh bottom blowing furnace workshops, effectively avoiding noise pollution, air pollution, heat radiation and other pollution factors that workers suffer in the bottom blowing furnace workshop. The workers can remotely view the slag removal status of the automatic slag removal robot 1 and the slag status of the bottom blowing furnace, which is more beneficial to the health of the workers and realizes automated cleaning of the slag of the bottom blowing furnace. Compared with manual cleaning methods, using the automatic slag removal robot 1 for slag cleaning is more efficient.

[0060] In another embodiment of the present invention, the image acquisition component 12 is installed on the top of the bottom blowing furnace workshop to statically acquire the image data of the bottom blowing furnace.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the image acquisition component 12 statically acquires the image data of the bottom blowing furnace, that is, the image data acquired by the image acquisition component 12 has a constant viewing angle, thereby forming a bird's-eye view image data, so that the operator can control the overall situation in the bottom blowing furnace workshop when viewing the image data remotely.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the connecting plate includes a first connecting plate 131 and a second connecting plate 132, and the clamp assembly 13 also includes a buffer 133. The first connecting plate 131 is connected to the end of the robot body 11, and the second connecting plate 132 is connected to the end of the robot body 11 through the first connecting plate 131 and forms a buffer space between the second connecting plate 132 and the first connecting plate 131, and the buffer 133 is installed in the buffer space.

[0063] By connecting the first connecting disk 131 to the end of the robot body 11, connecting the second connecting piece to the first connecting disk 131, and forming a buffer space between the first connecting disk 131 and the second connecting disk 132, the pneumatic pick 6 is fixed in the connecting sleeve 1321 on the second connecting disk 132. When the robot body 11 drives the pneumatic pick 6 to perform slag removal operations, the vibration generated by the pneumatic pick 6 is reduced through the buffer space, thereby avoiding long-term high-intensity vibration from affecting the accuracy and service life of the robot body 11.

[0064] By arranging the buffer member 133 in the buffer space, the vibration of the pneumatic pick 6 can be further decomposed and absorbed, thereby preventing the high-intensity vibration from affecting the accuracy and service life of the robot body 11.

[0065] It can be understood that the buffer member 133 includes any one or more of a buffer rubber pad, a buffer leather pad, and a buffer cotton pad, and the buffer member 133 is installed in the buffer space in a manner including any one of a bolt connection, an adhesive connection, and a bare rod connection.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the clamp assembly 13 further includes a force control sensor 134 , which is installed between the buffer 133 and the first connecting plate 131 to sense the force of the pneumatic pick 6 when impacting the slag.

[0067] By installing a force control sensor 134 between the buffer room and the first connecting plate 131, when the robot body 11 drives the pneumatic pick 6 to perform slag removal operations, the force control sensor 134 can sense the slag removal force of the pneumatic pick 6, so that the operator can adjust the slag removal angle of the robot body 11 according to the force sensed by the force control sensor 134, so as to remove stubborn slag and improve the slag removal efficiency.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the pneumatic pick 6 is mainly powered by compressed air provided by an air compressor, causing the hammer inside it to reciprocate and hit the shovel. The force control sensor 134 uses a six-dimensional force sensor to monitor in real time the size of the six-dimensional force applied to the end of the robot body 11 of the pneumatic pick 6 during the slag removal process, and adjusts the robot body 11 to perform the slag removal action accordingly, searches for the best slag removal position and angle, and improves the stability and reliability of the slag removal operation.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, the clamp assembly 13 further includes a transition flange 135 disposed in the buffer space. The transition flange 135 is connected to the second connecting plate 132 and the two sides thereof are respectively in contact with the buffer member 133 and the force control sensor 134 .

[0070] By connecting the transition flange 135 with the second connecting plate 132, and arranging a buffer room and a force control sensor 134 on both sides of the transition flange, the robot body 11 can drive the pneumatic pick 6 to transfer the reaction force received by the pneumatic pick 6 to the buffer 133 when removing slag, so as to reduce the reaction force received by the robot body 11. Subsequently, the reaction force absorbed by the buffer 133 is directly sensed by the force control sensor 134, so that the robot body 11 can adjust the slag removal position and slag removal angle according to the reaction force sensed by the force control sensor 134, thereby improving the slag removal efficiency.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the connection method between the transition flange 135 and the second connecting plate 132 is any one of bolt connection and bare rod connection. The transition flange 135 divides the buffer space into left and right sides. The two sides of the transition flange 135 are respectively fitted with the buffer room and the force control sensor 134 to provide buffering and transition effects for the force perception of the force control sensor 134, thereby reducing the impact of the high-intensity vibration of the pneumatic pick 6 on the force control sensor 134.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first connection disk 131 has a mounting area 1311 extending in a direction perpendicular to the jackhammer 6 , and the image acquisition component 12 is fixed on the mounting area 1311 .

[0073] By setting an installation area 1311 on the first connecting disk 131 and extending the installation area 1311 in a direction perpendicular to the pneumatic pick 6, the image acquisition component 12 can be installed on the installation area 1311, so that the image acquisition component 12 can collect image data containing the pneumatic pick 6 in real time from a first-person perspective, making it convenient for remote operators to know the cleaning progress of the bottom blowing furnace slag through image data.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, the image acquisition component 12 includes a shell 121 and an image acquisition device 122 disposed in the shell 121. The image acquisition device 122 includes any one or more of a camera, a laser radar and a thermal imager.

[0075] By arranging any one or more of the camera, laser radar, and thermal imager in the shell 121, the image acquisition component 12 can collect the plane image data of the bottom blowing furnace through the camera, collect the point cloud image data of the bottom blowing furnace through the laser radar, and collect the thermal image data of the bottom blowing furnace through the thermal imager when collecting the image data of the bottom blowing furnace. Then, by analyzing the above image data, the slag information such as the slag shape, slag position, and slag temperature in the bottom blowing furnace can be obtained, which makes it convenient for the robot body 11 to automatically clean the slag in the bottom blowing furnace according to the above slag information, thereby improving the slag removal efficiency and slag removal effect of the automatic slag removal robot 1.

[0076] In the above embodiment, after the laser radar scans the inside of the bottom blowing furnace to obtain point cloud image data, the point cloud image data is filtered and calculated to obtain the slag position and distribution in the bottom blowing furnace, so that the robot body 11 can drive the pneumatic pick 6 to clean the slag according to the coordinate data of the slag position.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, the shell 121 is fixed on the installation area 1311, so that the image collector 122 can collect image data of the pneumatic pick 6 from a first-person perspective. When performing slag removal operations, image data of the pneumatic pick 6 during slag removal is collected from a first-person perspective, thereby improving the automatic slag removal accuracy of the automatic slag removal robot 1.

[0078] In other embodiments, the shell 121 is fixed directly above the inlet of the bottom blowing furnace so that the image collector 122 can collect image data of the automatic slag removal robot 1 from a bird's eye view, thereby improving the safety of the automatic slag removal robot 1 during slag removal.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic slag removal robot 1 further includes a protective shell 14 , which is mounted on the end of the robot body 11 , and the clamp assembly 13 passes through the protective shell 14 and is connected to the end of the robot body 11 .

[0080] By installing the protective shell 14 at the end of the robot body 11, when the automatic slag removal robot 1 performs slag removal operations, the protective shell 14 can prevent the liquid metal in the bottom blowing furnace from splashing onto the robot body 11 from the feed port, thereby avoiding damage to the robot body 11 by the high-temperature liquid metal and improving the durability and service life of the automatic slag removal robot 1.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic slag removal robot 1 further includes a protective suit wrapped around the robot body 11 , and the protective suit includes any one of aramid fiber protective suit, acrylic fiber protective suit and alloy protective suit.

[0082] By wrapping the protective clothing over the robot body 11, the dust and high temperature in the bottom blowing furnace workshop can be isolated under the protection of the protective clothing, preventing dust from entering the robot body 11 and causing an increase in the failure rate of the robot body 11 or even damaging the robot body 11. At the same time, it can also prevent the high temperature in the bottom blowing furnace from being transmitted to the robot body 11 and causing a high temperature alarm in the robot body 11.

[0088] The image acquisition module 21 is used to collect image data of at least two bottom blowing furnaces in the bottom blowing furnace workshop in real time, and the recognition module 22 recognizes the slag information in the furnace from the image data, so that the analysis module 23 can calculate the slag area of ​​each bottom blowing furnace according to the slag information, and then the decision module 24 can compare the calculated slag area with the preset value, so that the decision module 24 can judge whether it is necessary to clean the slag in each bottom blowing furnace at the current moment according to the comparison result. Specifically, when the slag area is larger than the preset value, a slag removal signal is triggered to control the automatic slag removal robot to automatically clean the slag in each bottom blowing furnace according to the slag information. Otherwise, the recognition module continues to collect image data in the bottom blowing furnace and recognize the slag information, and the analysis module continues to calculate the slag area according to the slag information, until the decision module compares that the slag area is larger than the preset value and triggers the slag removal signal, and the slag in the bottom blowing furnace is automatically cleaned in this cycle.
