[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0033] For reference Figures 1-2As shown, the slag salvaging device according to the embodiment of the present application is arranged on the cyclone 1, and comprises:
[0034] a support frame 2 arranged on the cyclone 1;
[0035] a driving assembly arranged on the support frame 2;

[0037] a detector 5 arranged on the support frame 2 and above the cyclone 1, and used for detecting the height of the slag heap in the cyclone 1;
[0038] a controller, when the detector 5 detects that the height of the slag heap in the cyclone 1 exceeds a preset height, the controller controls the driving assembly to drive the transmission assembly 3 to rotate, so that the slag buckets 4 salvage the slag in the slag heap.
[0039] Specifically, the existing cyclone 1 is driven by a motor to rotate the impeller, the blades of the impeller are located at the edge of the cyclone 1, the blades agitate the liquid surface to accelerate the rotation of the water inside, and the protective slag accumulated inside is stacked into a slag heap in the middle of the cyclone. The slag salvaging device provided by the present application can automatically salvage the slag in the cyclone 1 without manual operation, which improves the slag salvaging efficiency and ensures the safety of the operation.
[0040] The slag salvaging device comprises a support frame 2, a driving assembly, a transmission assembly 3, slag buckets 4, a detector 5 and a controller. The support frame 2 is installed on the cyclone 1 and can bear the weight of the driving assembly, the transmission assembly 3 and other components and the acting force generated during the slag salvaging process, so as to ensure that the entire device does not shake or displace during the working process and the slag salvaging operation is smoothly performed. The driving assembly is arranged on the support frame 2 and can drive the transmission assembly 3 to operate, so that the slag buckets 4 can cyclically and reciprocally salvage the slag in the cyclone 1. The output power and the rotation speed of the driving assembly can be adjusted according to the actual slag salvaging requirement. When the slag heap is large and the slag is much, the rotation speed can be increased to speed up the slag salvaging speed; when the slag heap is small, the rotation speed can be reduced to save energy. Thus, the slag salvaging device can adapt to different slag working conditions, and the applicability and energy saving of the device are improved. The detector 5 is arranged on the support frame 2 and above the cyclone 1, and is used for detecting the height of the slag heap in the cyclone 1. It can accurately and timely monitor the change of the height of the slag heap and timely transmit the detected data to the controller.
[0041] The controller is electrically connected with the driving assembly and the detector 5, receives the slag heap height data transmitted by the detector 5, and immediately issues an instruction to control the driving assembly to start when the detector 5 detects that the slag heap height in the cyclone 1 exceeds the preset height, so as to drive the transmission assembly 3 to rotate and make the slag bucket 4 start to pick up the slag material of the slag heap. When the detector 5 detects that the slag heap height decreases to below the preset height, the controller controls the driving assembly to stop running, and completes a slag picking-up operation.
[0042] The transmission assembly 3 can adopt a chain or belt 12 transmission mode, has the characteristics of high transmission efficiency and stable operation, and can ensure that the slag bucket 4 moves according to the predetermined track and improves the slag picking-up efficiency. Meanwhile, the slag bucket 4 is made of wear-resistant material and can withstand the friction and impact of the slag material, prolonging the service life.
[0043] The detector 5 is an acoustic wave detector 5, which can detect the height of the slag heap accumulated at the bottom of the cyclone 1 and input the detected slag heap height data to the controller. The detection time of the detector 5 can be set according to the use requirement.

Secondly, without the aid of other equipment such as a crown block, the occupation of the crown block is avoided, the continuity and efficiency of the whole production process are improved. Thirdly, the advanced detection and control technology can accurately grasp the slag picking-up opportunity, avoid invalid slag picking-up operation, and save energy and cost. Finally, the whole slag picking-up process does not need personnel to approach the cyclone 1, eliminates the safety hidden danger caused by operation error or unknown situation in the cyclone 1, and protects the personal safety of the operator.

In the hydraulic system of the hydraulic cylinder, the electromagnetic reversing valve 16 realizes the lifting action of the lifting driver 10 by controlling the direction of the oil; the throttle valve 14 is used to adjust the lifting speed; and the shunt valve 13 precisely controls the lifting synchronization of the two lifting drivers 10. When the support frame 2 is in a suspended state, the hydraulic control one-way valve 15 locks the hydraulic cylinder oil way to maintain the internal pressure, so as to ensure the stability of the position of the support frame 2; at this time, the electromagnetic reversing valve 16 guides the oil output by the hydraulic pump back to the oil tank, so that the hydraulic system is in an unloading state (pump empty running), thereby saving energy.
