Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of environmental protection technology, and in particular to a manipulator for steel slag treatment, and a steel slag treatment system and method based on image processing. Background Art
[0002] The slag discharged during the steelmaking process is extremely hot and fluid, posing a high risk. Therefore, special treatment is required to reduce this risk. Through trial and error, a treatment method has been developed, encompassing spray cooling, granulation, and landfilling. This treatment transforms the molten slag into smaller, solid lumps. Because slag contains a high concentration of iron in addition to impurities, this high-iron slag is generally referred to as high-iron slag, commonly known as scrap steel. Directly landfilling the scrap steel with other impurities would waste resources. However, the treated slag remains hot, making it difficult to manually sort it. Furthermore, the slag contains a high concentration of dust. Manual sorting in an open environment would cause the dust to spread into the air, contributing to air pollution.

[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] This application fully considers the changing form of high-iron scrap steel during the slag treatment process. Based on the fact that high-iron scrap steel tends to aggregate into lumps in cooled and granulated slag, and that the resulting scrap steel is generally larger in volume than particles containing more impurities, a robotic arm for slag treatment has been designed. This robotic arm can screen and scoop out scrap steel from the granulated slag, and can also grasp scrap steel by adjusting the angle between the first and second moving arms. This effectively achieves scrap steel sorting, avoids resource waste, and reduces pollution emissions.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a manipulator for slag processing includes: a base, a first moving hand 2, a second moving hand 3 and a motion control mechanism arranged on the base;
[0041] The first moving hand 2 includes a first base frame 21, a plurality of first fingers 22 uniformly distributed along the length of the first base frame, each of the first fingers is disposed below the first base frame, the length direction of each first finger is angled with the first base frame, and each of the first fingers is bent toward the second moving hand; the second moving hand 3 includes a second base frame 31, a plurality of second fingers 32 uniformly distributed along the length of the second base frame, each of the second fingers is disposed below the second base frame, the length direction of each second finger is angled with the first base frame, and each of the second fingers is bent toward the first moving hand; the first fingers and the second fingers are disposed opposite each other;
[0042] The motion control mechanism controls the first moving hand 2 and the second moving hand 3 to move between a first state and a second state, and when in the first state, the angle between the first base and the second base is greater than the angle between the first base and the second base when in the second state.
[0043] In the present application, the first moving hand and the second moving hand open and close under the drive of the motion control mechanism, and scrap steel is picked up during the opening and closing process; at the same time, when the first moving hand and the second moving hand are in the open state, especially when they are in the first state, other power mechanisms can be used to move the manipulator to screen scrap steel in the slag; and when the first moving hand and the second moving hand are relatively closed, especially when they are in the second state, the scrap steel can be relatively fixedly grasped so as to transport the scrap steel to a designated location. Effective selection of scrap steel is achieved and waste of resources is avoided. The present application adopts a design in which two adjacent first fingers are spaced apart and two adjacent second fingers are spaced apart. When picking up scrap steel, ordinary steel slag with a smaller volume can leak out at the gap between them, ensuring that the scrap steel can be picked up and screened, and that ordinary steel slag can be taken out as little as possible to reduce environmental pollution.
[0044] To ensure the strength of the first and second fingers, this embodiment adopts a design with an internal tungsten steel alloy core, an external alumina ceramic layer, and a carbon fiber outer layer. The carbon fiber layer is resistant to high temperatures and provides a buffer for the alumina ceramic layer, preventing direct contact between the steel slag and the alumina ceramic layer, which would wear the alumina ceramic layer. The tungsten steel alloy core has strong plasticity, making it easier to form the required shape and securely connect to the first and second base frames. The alumina ceramic layer increases the strength of the internal tungsten steel alloy core, and the carbon fiber layer solves the problem of poor brittleness of the alumina ceramic layer. The combination of these three materials ensures that the first and second fingers can be smoothly inserted into the steel slag and can be used to smoothly scoop, sieve, and grab scrap steel from the steel slag. Of course, the materials listed here are only the materials that can be selected for the first and second fingers, and their material structure is not limited. Those skilled in the art can select other materials or other structures as needed, and will not be elaborated on here.
[0045] In the present application, the first finger and the second finger are arranged opposite to each other, and the first finger and the second finger are bent toward the second moving hand and the first moving hand respectively, so as to form a form in which the distance between the lower ends of the fingers is smaller than the distance between the ends of the base frame, so that when larger scrap steel is scooped or screened, the screened scrap steel is kept within the range of the fingers to prevent the scrap steel from sinking deeper into the slag due to factors such as its density being greater than that of ordinary slag and the smaller particles of the slag, resulting in the problem of time-consuming and low efficiency in scrap steel scooping, or even failure in scooping.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the base in this embodiment includes a fixed plate 11 and a limit plate 12 arranged at intervals; the fixed end of the first base frame 21 and the fixed end of the second base frame 31 are both hinged to the fixed plate, and the free end of the first base frame and the free end of the second base frame both slide accordingly on the limit plate through a sliding limit mechanism.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed ends of the first base frame 21 and the second base frame 31 are hinged to the fixed plate via hinge shafts 111, whose bottom ends are fixed to the fixed plate. The first and second base frames can open and close correspondingly around the hinge shafts. Of course, the opening and closing angles can be adjusted as needed by those skilled in the art, and this will not be discussed in detail here. The corresponding opening and closing arrangement of the first and second base frames 21, 31 ensures structural symmetry and stability during grasping.
[0048] In order to ensure that the first moving hand and the second moving hand open and close smoothly and the first moving hand and the second moving hand are controllable when opening and closing.
[0049] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the sliding limit mechanism includes a first slide groove 211 arranged along the length of the first base frame 21, and a second slide groove 311 arranged along the length of the second base frame 31. The limit plate 12 is provided with a corresponding insertion of the first slide groove 211 and the second slide groove 311. The left and right ends of the limit plate are respectively inserted through the first slide groove 211 and the second slide groove 311; when in the first state, the first slide groove and the second slide groove are respectively located at the ends of the limit plate; when in the second state, the first slide groove and the second slide groove are located in the middle of the limit plate.
[0050] In order to ensure that the first moving hand and the second moving hand open and close smoothly and the degree of opening and closing is controllable.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the motion control mechanism in this embodiment includes a threaded fixing seat 41 fixed above the base, a spiral rod 42 threadedly installed with the threaded fixing seat 41 and with the lower end passing through the threaded fixing seat, a first bearing seat 43 and a second bearing seat 44 arranged at the bottom end of the spiral rod, the first bearing seat 43 is connected to the first base 21 through a first control rod 431, and the second bearing seat 44 is connected to the second base 31 through a second control rod 441; the angle between the first base and the second base changes with the change of the length of the lower end of the spiral rod passing through the threaded fixing seat.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, a first hinge seat 432 is provided on the side of the first base frame opposite to the second base frame, the lower end of the first control rod is correspondingly connected to the first hinge seat, and the upper end of the first control rod is correspondingly connected to the first bearing seat; a second hinge seat 442 is provided on the side of the second base frame opposite to the first base frame, the lower end of the second control rod is correspondingly connected to the second hinge seat, and the upper end of the second control rod is correspondingly connected to the second bearing seat.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first control rod, the second control rod, and the lines connecting the connection points between the first control rod and the first base frame and the second control rod and the second base frame form a triangle. Furthermore, the first spiral rod is perpendicular to the plane of the first and second base frames. This triangle is formed to apply the principle of triangular stability, maintaining stable movement and gripping.
[0054] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base in this embodiment further includes at least two side support plates 13 connecting the fixed plate 11 and the limiting plate 12. Each of the side support plates is connected to an inclined support plate 14, each supporting the threaded fixing seat 41 above. In this embodiment, to maintain the overall stability of the manipulator and accommodate the movement directions of the first and second moving arms, the fixed plate and the limiting plate are arranged parallel to each other, with the extended lines of the two side support plates intersecting behind the fixed plate. The fixed plate, the limiting plate, and the two side support plates form an isosceles trapezoid. The trapezoidal stability ensures the strength of the manipulator during processes such as grasping, scooping, and screening.
[0055] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, this embodiment further provides a steel slag processing system based on image processing, comprising the manipulator 8 for steel slag processing as described above, and further comprising:
[0056] The suspension mechanism 5 arranged in the unloading platform 7 is used to drive the manipulator to move in the unloading platform;
[0057] Multiple cameras 6 are provided at different positions in the unloading platform, for obtaining real-time images in the unloading platform;
[0058] An image recognition processor, configured to identify the scrap steel based on the real-time image and determine the location of the scrap steel;
[0059] The motion processor is used to plan the motion route of the manipulator according to the identified location of the scrap steel and control the manipulator to move according to the motion route.
[0060] In the steel slag processing system based on image processing provided by this embodiment, the image recognition processor is further configured to recognize the current position of the manipulator based on the real-time image;
[0061] The system further includes a grabbing control processor for controlling the manipulator to scoop or grab the scrap steel according to the position of the scrap steel in the recognition result of the real-time image and the current position of the manipulator.
[0062] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the steel slag processing system based on image processing provided in this embodiment, the unloading platform 7 is two-layer, the first layer is used to accommodate the scrap receiving vehicle, and the second layer platform is provided with a flip receiving hopper 721 that can be flipped toward the first layer. When the flip receiving hopper is flipped downward, the second layer platform is connected to the first layer, and the steel slag in the flip receiving hopper can be dumped into the scrap receiving vehicle; the second layer platform is provided with a box cover 71, one side of the box cover is provided with a flip door 711, and the other side is provided with a scrap steel discharge port; the suspension mechanism is arranged on the upper part of the box cover, and the camera is fixed in the box cover.
[0063] To ensure that scrap metal grabbed by the robot can be smoothly ejected from the scrap metal outlet, an inner receiving plate 713 is installed at the scrap metal outlet. Furthermore, to reduce the speed of the scrap metal as it falls out and prevent dust from being generated by the falling scrap metal, an outer receiving plate 714, with a smaller inclination than the inner receiving plate 713, is installed on the outside of the box lid. To further ensure the outer receiving plate's ability to be replaced, it is designed to be curved. Furthermore, to further reduce the impact of the scrap metal sliding out, a buffer chain plate 715, composed of interconnected metal rings, is hung at the scrap metal outlet.
[0064] In order to facilitate the planning of the movement route of the manipulator.
[0065] See also Figures 6 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the flip door and the scrap steel discharge port are arranged on opposite sides of the box cover; in order to allow the manipulator to screen, scoop up the waste slag, and smoothly dump the waste slag after scooping up the scrap steel into the scrap receiving vehicle, a fixed receiving hopper 722 is also provided in the second-layer platform. The flip receiving hopper can be matched with the fixed receiving hopper. After matching, the flip receiving hopper and the fixed receiving hopper are bowl-shaped. The matching part of the flip receiving hopper and the fixed receiving hopper is located at the bottom of the bowl to ensure that the flip receiving hopper can be smoothly flipped downward and the waste slag can be accurately poured into the scrap receiving vehicle. In this embodiment, a pull-out isolation plate 73 is provided between the second-layer platform and the first layer. When the isolation plate is pulled out, the flip receiving hopper flips downward under the action of gravity. When the isolation plate is inserted back, the flip receiving hopper is pushed from the bottom of the flip receiving hopper back to the fixed receiving hopper.
[0066] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed receiving hopper 722 is fixedly set on the side of the second-level platform near the flip door 711. When the waste slag of the scrap steel to be screened is dumped into the receiving hopper, the flip door is placed on the waste tank to block the dust and slag raised when the scrap steel is dumped from above. The waste slag of the scrap steel to be screened is poured into the fixed receiving hopper. After the waste slag in the fixed receiving hopper reaches a certain height, it flows into the flip receiving hopper to reduce the impact of the waste slag of the scrap steel to be screened on the flip receiving hopper and the impact force on the isolation plate, thereby ensuring the stability and service life of the system. The isolation plate 73 is inserted into the unloading platform from the socket 75 on the box cover wall on the side of the scrap steel discharge port of the box cover 71, and is aligned with the plug-in card 76 on the box cover wall on the side of the flip door. The upper part of the outer wall of the flip receiving hopper is hinged to the box cover, and the flip receiving hopper is located on the side of the box cover with the scrap steel discharge port.
[0067] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the suspension mechanism 5 includes a vertical frame 51 fixed to the top of the box cover, and a horizontal frame 52 slidably connected to the vertical frame. The horizontal frame and the vertical frame are both arranged parallel to the second-layer platform, and the manipulator is slidably connected to the horizontal frame. In this embodiment, the horizontal frame 52 is moved on the vertical frame by a chain and a horizontal frame motion motor (not shown in the figure). The horizontal frame motion motor and chain drive one frame to move along another frame. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. Of course, those skilled in the art can also use other structures to drive the horizontal frame to move on the vertical frame, such as the overhead crane horizontal frame of the DR. This will not be described in detail here.
[0068] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the horizontal frame is equipped with a gear transmission structure 53 and a first motor (not shown) that drives the gear. The first motor drives the gear transmission structure 53 to move on the horizontal frame. A transmission gear set and a second motor 542 are fixed to the first mounting frame 531 of the gear transmission mechanism. The second motor engages with a rack lift rod 802 mounted on a second mounting frame 801 through the gear transmission set, and drives the manipulator 8 to rise and fall through the second motor 542. The manipulator 8 is mounted on the second mounting frame 801, and the rack lift rod 802 is mounted on the second mounting frame.
[0069] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, a control and grasping motor 803 is provided on the second mounting frame 801, and the control and grasping motor 803 is engaged with the screw rod of the manipulator through a gear transmission mechanism, and the angle between the first moving hand and the second moving hand of the manipulator is driven by the control and grasping motor.
[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, each of the cameras is electrically connected to the image recognition processor, and the motion processor and the grasping control processor are electrically connected to the image recognition processor; the motion processor is electrically connected to the cross-frame motion motor and the first motor of the suspension mechanism respectively; the second motor and the grasping control motor are electrically connected to the grasping control processor respectively.
[0071] like Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment also provides a steel slag treatment method, comprising the following steps:
[0072] S1: Use a camera to obtain real-time images at multiple locations in the unloading platform;
[0073] S2: using an image recognition processor to identify scrap steel based on the real-time images at multiple locations and determine the locations of the scrap steel;
[0074] S3: using a motion processor to plan a motion path of the manipulator according to the identified location of the scrap steel;
[0075] S4: Using a motion processor, controlling the manipulator to move according to the planned motion path;
[0076] S5: During the movement, the manipulator is used to grab or seize the scrap steel and transport the scrap steel to a designated location.
[0077] In this embodiment, the robot arm is the one used for slag handling as described above. In step S2, the image recognition processor also identifies the current position of the robot arm based on the real-time image. In step S5, the gripping control processor controls the robot arm to scoop or grip the scrap steel based on the scrap steel position identified in the real-time image and the current position of the robot arm.
[0078] In this embodiment, the camera is an infrared thermal imaging camera. In this embodiment, at least four cameras are respectively arranged on the top of the box cover, and the four cameras are respectively close to one side of the box cover.
