[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the utility model provides a novel sampling device for rare earth metals, comprising a bracket 1, a sampling structure 10 arranged on the bracket 1, an X-direction module, a Y-direction module and a Z-direction lifting structure, the Y-direction module is arranged on the bracket 1, the X-direction module is connected to the Y-direction module, the Z-direction lifting structure is connected to the X-direction module, the sampling structure 10 comprises a sampling rod 102 and a sampling assembly 101, the sampling rod 102 is detachably connected to the Z-direction lifting structure, and the number of the sampling assemblies 101 is multiple and evenly arranged on the sampling rod 102.
[0025] The bracket 1 can be set on one side of one or more smelting furnaces according to the use requirements to increase the sampling range. The Y-direction module drives the X-direction module, driving the Z-direction lifting structure and the sampling structure 10 to move along the Y direction, so that the sampling structure 10 moves to the side of the smelting furnace to be sampled, and then the X-direction module drives the Z-direction lifting structure to drive the sampling structure 10 to move along the X direction, so that the sampling structure 10 moves to the top of the opening of the smelting furnace to be sampled, and the Z-direction lifting structure drives the sampling structure 10 to move downward, so that the sampling component 101 enters the liquid rare earth metal for sampling. After the sampling is completed, each mechanism returns to its original position. After the liquid rare earth metal in the sampling component 101 is cooled, the staff separates the sampling rod 102 from the Z-direction lifting structure, and demolds and detects the rare earth metal. When the test result is qualified, the liquid rare earth metal is poured into the mold to cool and solidify to form a semi-finished product, which saves time and effort and greatly improves the smelting efficiency.
[0026] As an optional implementation, Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the sampling components 101 are staggered on the sampling rod 102 along the axial direction of the sampling rod 102, and the projections of each sampling component 101 on the horizontal plane along the vertical direction do not overlap. This arrangement can ensure that the liquid rare earth metal effectively flows into the sampling cavity 1011 of the sampling component 101, and will not affect the normal sampling of the liquid rare earth metal. At the same time, it is possible to sample the liquid rare earth metal at multiple depths at one time, and the sampling operation is efficient. The number of sampling components 101 can be set to two, three or more according to the use requirements.
[0027] As an optional implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the sampling cavity 1011 of the sampling component 101 is a hollow inverted truncated cone structure with an open large end and a closed small end, which is conducive to smooth demolding of rare earth metals and improves sampling and detection efficiency.
[0028] As an optional implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the large end extends obliquely upward to form a guide slope 1012.
[0029] When the sampling assembly 101 enters the liquid rare earth metal, the liquid rare earth metal can smoothly flow into the sampling cavity 1011 through the guide slope 1012, thereby improving the sampling efficiency.
[0030] As an optional implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the bottom corners of the sampling cavity 1011 of the sampling component 101 are rounded to avoid sharp edges, making it easier for rare earth metals to separate from the sampling component 101, thereby improving sampling and detection efficiency.
[0031] As an optional embodiment, the sampling rod 102 is a hollow structure to reduce weight and increase the sampling rate.
[0032] As an optional implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the Y-direction module includes a Y-direction fixing frame 2, a Y-direction motor 3 and a Y-direction lead screw nut assembly arranged on the Y-direction fixing frame 2, the Y-direction fixing frame 2 is arranged on the bracket 1, the lead screw of the Y-direction lead screw nut assembly is transmission-connected with the Y-direction motor 3, and the nut slider of the Y-direction lead screw nut assembly is connected with the X-direction module through the Y-direction connecting piece 4.
[0033] The Y-direction motor 3 drives the lead screw of the Y-direction lead screw nut assembly to rotate, driving the nut slider of the Y-direction lead screw nut assembly to make a linear motion along the Y direction, thereby driving the sampling structure 10 to move along the Y-axis direction.
[0034] As an optional implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the X-direction module includes an X-direction fixing frame 5, an X-direction motor 6 and an X-direction lead screw nut assembly arranged on the X-direction fixing frame 5, the X-direction fixing frame 5 is connected to the Y-direction connecting member 4, the lead screw of the X-direction lead screw nut assembly is transmission-connected to the X-direction motor 6, and the nut slider of the X-direction lead screw nut assembly is connected to the Z-direction lifting structure through the X-direction connecting member 7.
[0035] The X-direction motor 6 drives the lead screw of the X-direction lead screw nut assembly to rotate, drives the nut slider of the X-direction lead screw nut assembly to make a linear motion along the X-direction, and then drives the sampling structure 10 to move along the X-axis direction.
[0036] As an optional implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the Z-direction lifting structure includes a lifting cylinder 8 , a fixed end of the lifting cylinder 8 is connected to an X-direction connecting member 7 , and a telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 8 is detachably connected to the sampling rod 102 via a lifting connecting member 9 .
[0037] The telescopic movement of the lifting cylinder 8 drives the sampling structure 10 to move along the Z-axis direction, so that the sampling component 101 enters or moves away from the smelting furnace.
[0038] Furthermore, the sampling rod 102 has a cavity for the lifting connection member 9 to enter, and is detachably connected to the lifting connection member 9 via bolts.
