Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ladle covers, in particular to a ladle cover self-inductive opening and closing structure for a ladle. Background Art

[0002] The ladle is a container for molten steel. In order to maintain the temperature inside the ladle, a ladle cover is required to reduce heat loss.

[0003] Publication (Announcement) No.: CN220144750U, a new type of ladle cover, which is fixed by manually controlling the clamping plate to move and contact the outer wall of the ladle after the ladle cover is set, thereby preventing the set ladle cover from moving. The fixing of the above-mentioned ladle cover requires manual operation one by one, which is inefficient.

[0004] Publication (Announcement) No.: CN217192544U, a ladle cover, when the ladle cover body is covering the boiler, the contact ball first contacts the boiler, and then the ladle cover body is lowered, at this time the T-shaped rod pushes the right angle frame to move towards the boiler, the spring is compressed, and the spring can make the right angle frame fall naturally, and then in the process of the ladle cover body approaching the boiler, the right angle can continue to approach the boiler until the boiler is stuck. In the above scheme, since each group of adjustment structures is independent of each other, if a certain misalignment occurs with the top of the ladle when the ladle cover is lowered, part of the bottom end of the T-shaped rod will be located on the outside of the ladle, and part of the bottom end of the T-shaped rod will be located on the inside of the ladle. At this time, it is impossible to move the ladle cover by direct lateral movement. The ladle cover needs to be lifted up and then aligned with the ladle before being lowered.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention proposes a self-sensing opening and closing structure of a ladle cover for a ladle, in which multiple groups of closing structures on the periphery of the cover body are linked to each other, and the opening and closing of the closing structures can also be linked by the placement state of the ladle cover. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims at at least solving the problem in the prior art that the closing structure on the ladle cover cannot realize linkage or has certain requirements on the initial closing accuracy of the ladle cover.

[0007] The present invention provides a self-sensing opening and closing structure of a ladle cover for a ladle, which is achieved by the following specific technical means: it comprises a cover body and a plurality of groups of bosses arranged on the circumference of the cover body, a group of positioning members being hingedly mounted on each group of the bosses, the positioning members being located on the outside of the cover body, and being located above the center of the cover body and fixedly connected to the cover body with a top seat via a rope, when in use, the top seat is connected to a lifting device, and the cover body is lifted by the lifting device, the top seat and the plurality of groups of positioning members are connected via a linkage mechanism, when the top seat is lifted, the rope is in a taut state, the bottom end of the positioning member is in an outwardly inclined state away from the cover body, after the cover body is closed, the falling top seat pushes the linkage mechanism, so that the plurality of groups of positioning members move toward the outer wall of the ladle and contact the outer wall of the ladle.

[0008] Preferred technical solution one: the linkage mechanism includes a vertical cylinder fixed at the top center of the cover body, a slide plate is provided in the vertical cylinder for lifting and sliding, a vertical rod fixed on the top of the slide plate slides through the top wall of the vertical cylinder and the top end is fixedly connected to the top seat, a linkage rod is hingedly connected between the slide plate and each group of positioning parts, and the linkage rod is used to synchronously control the bottom ends of multiple groups of positioning parts to move closer or farther away from each other.

[0009] Preferred technical solution 2: A return spring is connected between the slide plate and the bottom wall of the vertical cylinder, and when the top seat is lifted, the slide plate moves upward so that the return spring is stretched.

[0010] Optimal technical solution three: the middle part of the positioning member is hingedly connected to the convex seat, and the top end of the positioning member is hingedly connected to the end of the linkage rod.

[0011] Optimal technical solution four: when the top seat is in the lifted state, the linkage rod is in the inclined state.

[0012] The above structure enables this solution to have the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. Multiple groups of positioning parts arranged around the cover can complete the positioning, closing or opening of the cover and the ladle by sensing the hanging state of the top seat;

[0014] 2. The linkage mechanism can realize linkage control between multiple groups of positioning parts. Before the top seat is lowered and the rope is relaxed, the positioning parts will not be completely closed, so that if there is an error in the lowering of the cover body, it can be adjusted directly by lateral movement;

[0015] 3. The setting of vertical rods and vertical tubes, combined with multiple sets of ropes, can not only stably lift the cover body, but also disperse the lifting force to prevent a single part from being subjected to large pulling force. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
