The second embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the independent implementation of the first embodiment.
[0060] Specifically, the difference of the process method for casting steel castings provided in the second embodiment of the present application is that, in a process method for casting steel castings, a detection device is required to be used for melting the steel castings in S41, and the detection device includes a portable spectrometer body 1, and a movable component 2 is provided on the surface of the portable spectrometer body 1, and a recovery component 3 is provided on one side of the movable component 2.
[0061] The movable assembly 2 includes two fixed plates 21 . The surfaces of the two fixed plates 21 are provided with sliding grooves 22 . The interiors of the two sliding grooves 22 are slidably connected with sliders 23 .
[0062] The two sliders 23 are connected to opposite sides thereof with circular blocks 24 , and a fixing frame 25 is connected between the two circular blocks 24 . The fixing frame 25 is connected to one side of the surface of the main body 1 of the portable spectrum analyzer.
[0063] The use of the spring 33 can release the squeezing force of the portable spectrometer body 1, and the portable spectrometer body 1 can be restored to its original position. The use of the slide groove 22 and the slider 23 facilitates the operation of driving the portable spectrometer body 1 to move up and down.
[0064] The recovery assembly 3 includes a fixed rod 31 , a movable sleeve 32 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed rod 31 , one side of the movable sleeve 32 is connected to one side of the slider 23 , and a spring 33 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed rod 31 and below the movable sleeve 32 .
