[0019] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation examples:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 The electric arc furnace sand filling device shown in the figure comprises an electric furnace platform 10, the electric furnace platform 10 is rotatably connected to a main supporting arm 2 through a slewing bearing, the electric furnace platform 10 is connected to a main driving device 1, the main driving device 1 is connected to the main supporting arm 2, the main supporting arm 2 is rotatably connected to a column 3 through a slewing bearing, the main trailing arm is connected to an auxiliary driving device 4, the auxiliary driving device 4 is connected to the column 3, the inner side of the column 3 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 5, the output shaft of the cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary trailing arm, the auxiliary trailing arm can be driven to move upward or downward by the cylinder 5, and the auxiliary supporting arm 7 is connected to a sand adding mechanism 9; the main driving device 1 and the auxiliary driving device 4 are both equipped with servo motors

[0021] An electromagnetic valve 8 is provided inside the sand adding mechanism 9; the cylinder 5 is connected to the auxiliary supporting arm 7 by a pin shaft; a guide roller 6 is provided on the inner side of the column 3; the auxiliary supporting arm 7 is fixed and guided by the guide roller 6; the sand adding mechanism 9 includes a feeding hopper and a feeding pipe, the feeding pipe is connected to the feeding hopper, the feeding pipe is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the feeding hopper and is connected to the feeding hopper, the electromagnetic valve 8 is located in the feeding pipe, and the sand adding mechanism 9 is opened and closed by the electromagnetic valve 8 to fill sand.

[0022] The following describes the rotation of the column 3 relative to the main supporting arm 2 by taking the rotation connection between the column 3 and the main supporting arm 2 as an example. The column 3 is rotationally connected to the main trailing arm through a slewing bearing. The slewing bearing is a bearing that can withstand large radial loads and axial loads. The slewing bearing is generally divided into an inner ring and an outer ring, and the inner ring and the outer ring are rotatably connected. This application uses a slewing bearing with an inner gear on the inner ring, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer ring of the slewing bearing is fixedly connected to the main trailing arm, and the inner ring of the slewing bearing is fixedly connected to the column 3, thereby realizing the rotation connection between the column 3 and the main trailing arm. The auxiliary drive rotation is composed of a servo motor, and a gear is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. The connecting gear is meshed with the inner gear ring on the inner ring of the slewing bearing. The servo motor drives the connecting gear to rotate and then drives the inner ring to rotate relative to the outer ring, thereby realizing the rotation of the column 3 and the main trailing arm.

[0023] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0024] The operating principle of the utility model is now described as follows: the entire sand adding process is fully automated, and the specific process is: crane (or cantilever crane) → sand hopper receives sand at the sand receiving position (away from the electric furnace) → main drive device 1 drives main support arm 2 to rotate → auxiliary drive device 4 drives auxiliary support arm 7 to rotate to the sand adding waiting position → auxiliary drive device 4 drives auxiliary support arm 7 to rotate to the sand adding position → cylinder 5 drives auxiliary support arm 7 to descend and add sand → cylinder 5 drives auxiliary support arm 7 to rise → main support arm 2 and auxiliary support arm 7 rotate to the sand receiving position, and the sand adding process ends. When the sand filling is completed, the sand adding mechanism rotates to the sand receiving position to add sand.
