[0027] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will elaborate on the above technical solutions in combination with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limitations of the technical solutions of the present application. Without conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Figure 1 is a structural block diagram of a safety system provided by an embodiment of the present application for preventing the backflow and spilling of molten iron in a torpedo ladle, as Figure 1 shown, the system includes: an operation handle 1, a controller 2, a direction selection switch 3, and a torpedo ladle drive mechanism 4.

[0029] The direction selection switch 3 includes at least two gears. The operating handle 1 and the direction selection switch 3 are both connected to the input end of the controller 2, and the output end of the controller 2 is connected to the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4.

[0030] Among them, the direction selection switch 3 is used to select the dumping direction of the torpedo ladle, the operating handle 1 is used to select the dumping and reset actions of the torpedo ladle, and the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the torpedo ladle to dump and reset.

[0031] In this embodiment, the direction selection switch 3 may include a knob and at least two pairs of open contacts, and each pair of open contacts corresponds to one gear. If the direction selection switch 3 includes two gears, namely the first gear and the second gear, then when the knob rotates to the first gear, the first pair of open contacts closes, and when the knob rotates to the second gear, the second pair of open contacts closes, so as to realize the switching between the two gears. The two gears respectively correspond to the forward dumping and reverse dumping of the torpedo ladle. For example, the first gear corresponds to the forward dumping of the torpedo ladle, and the second gear corresponds to the reverse dumping of the torpedo ladle. When the user rotates the knob to the first gear, it means that the user hopes the torpedo ladle to dump forward, the first pair of open contacts closes, and a forward dumping signal is sent to the controller 2; when the user rotates the knob to the second gear, it means that the user hopes the torpedo ladle to dump backward, the second pair of open contacts closes, and a reverse dumping signal is sent to the controller 2.

[0032] The operating handle 1 can also be called a master controller. The operating handle 1 can be pushed forward and pulled backward to select the torpedo ladle to perform the dumping and reset actions. Specifically, the forward push operation and the pull backward operation can be defined. For example, when the operating handle 1 performs a forward push operation, a forward push signal will be sent to the controller 2, and then after the controller 2 receives the forward push signal, it controls the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 to drive the torpedo ladle to dump; when the operating handle 1 performs a pull backward operation, a pull backward signal will be sent to the controller 2, and then after the controller 2 receives the pull backward signal, it controls the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 to drive the torpedo ladle to reset; when the operating handle 1 is in the zero position, it means that the operating handle 1 has not been operated, and at this time it is a vacant position and does not send any signal to the controller 2.

[0033] The controller 2 can be a PLC controller (programmable logic controller). The PLC controller is mainly composed of functional units such as a CPU, an instruction and data memory module, an input / output module, and a power supply module. By writing a logic control program, according to external input signals (forward dumping signal, reverse dumping signal, forward push signal, and pull backward signal) to control the output signal, and controlling the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 to act through the output signal to realize an automated task.

[0034] The torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 includes a tilting motor, and the torpedo ladle is driven to tilt by the tilting motor.

[0035] In this embodiment, a 24V power supply can be connected to the PLC power supply module, the PLC output module is connected to the terminal block, the terminal block is connected to the direction selection switch 3 through a cable, and the direction selection switch 3 is connected back to the PLC input module through a cable; the operating handle 1 is connected to the PLC digital input module and the analog input module through a cable to implement the selection function of dumping and resetting.

[0036] In this embodiment, the direction selection switch 3 and the operating handle 1 are used in combination to control the tilting direction of the torpedo ladle. Specifically, when the direction selection switch 3 is selected to the forward tilting gear position, a forward tilting signal will be sent to the controller 2; at this time, when the operating handle 1 performs a forward pushing action, a forward push signal will also be sent to the controller 2; then the controller 2 controls the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 to drive the torpedo ladle to tilt forward according to the received forward tilting signal and forward push signal. When the direction selection switch 3 is selected to the reverse tilting gear position, a reverse tilting signal will be sent to the controller 2; at this time, when the operating handle 1 performs a forward pushing action, a forward push signal will also be sent to the controller 2; then the controller 2 controls the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 to drive the torpedo ladle to tilt backward according to the received reverse tilting signal and forward push signal. When the operating handle 1 performs a backward pulling action, a backward pull signal will be sent to the controller 2; then the controller 2 controls the torpedo ladle driving mechanism 4 to drive the torpedo ladle to reset according to the received backward pull signal.

[0037] In this embodiment, the tapping direction test can also be carried out through the system, that is, the correct tapping operation direction is selected to facilitate the on-site personnel to judge the forward or reverse tapping and prevent misoperation of spilling iron. Specifically, after the hot metal trolley (ladle) arrives, the tilting permission signal of the torpedo ladle is valid. Operate the operating handle 1 to perform the tapping direction test. The single-direction test needs to be completed within 10s (to prevent the torpedo ladle from rotating too large an angle and spilling iron). At this time, the "forward pushing action" of the operating handle 1 corresponds to the tilting action of the torpedo ladle, and the "backward pulling action" corresponds to the reset action of the torpedo ladle.

[0038] First, select the selection switch to the first gear position (forward tilting gear position). After the operating handle 1 performs the "forward push" operation, if the rotating direction of the torpedo ladle faces the ladle, the gear position of the direction selection switch 3 remains unchanged, and the torpedo ladle is controlled to tilt forward for tapping; after the operating handle 1 performs the "forward push" operation, if the rotating direction of the torpedo ladle does not face the ladle but faces the opposite direction, reselect the gear position of the direction selection switch 3, that is, switch the gear position of the direction selection switch 3 to the second gear position (reverse tilting gear position), and control the torpedo ladle to tilt backward for tapping.

[0039] Optionally, the operating handle 1 includes a screw, a rotating shaft, a cam and a contact; the screw is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the cam.

[0040] In this embodiment, the screw can be integrally connected to the rotating shaft. When the screw is pushed forward or pulled backward, the rotating shaft can be driven to rotate. The rotating shaft meshes with the cam through a gear, so that the cam can be driven to rotate when the rotating shaft rotates. When the cam rotates, it presses the contact, and the circuit is connected after the contact is pressed by the cam. After the circuit is connected, a forward push or pull signal is sent to the controller 2.

[0041] Optionally, there are multiple contacts arranged in two columns.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the first column of contacts is pressed, a fast tilting signal is sent to the controller 2, and when the second column of contacts is pressed, a slow tilting signal is sent to the controller 2. The screw is pushed in one direction in sequence to realize the separation and combination of the contacts, so as to achieve the fast and slow speed control of the tilting and resetting actions of the torpedo ladle motor on site. When the screw is not pushed, that is, when the screw does not move, the master controller is in the zero position, all contacts are not pressed, and the circuit is in a completely disconnected state. Therefore, the operating handle 1 can send forward push signals, pull signals, zero position signals and speed signals (slow tilting signal and fast tilting signal). The forward push signal, pull signal and zero position signal are connected to the PLC digital input module through a cable, and the speed signal is connected to the analog input module. After the PLC receives the signal, logical operations and relational interlocks are performed internally.

[0043] Optionally, the system further includes a frequency converter, which is connected between the controller 2 and the torpedo ladle drive mechanism 4.

[0044] Figure 2 It is the structural block diagram of another safety system for preventing the backflow and iron spillage of the torpedo ladle provided by the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the system further includes a frequency converter 5. The controller 2 controls the frequency converter 5 through DP (short for Decentralized Periphery, a profibus communication protocol running on a 485 serial port) network communication. The output end of the frequency converter 5 is connected to the drive motor in the torpedo ladle drive mechanism 4. By changing the working power frequency of the drive motor through the frequency converter 5, the speed of the motor is changed, so as to adjust the tilting speed and reset speed of the torpedo ladle.

[0045] Optionally, the system further includes an alarm, which is connected to the output end of the controller 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, the voice broadcast prompt function can be realized by controlling the external alarm through the program timing module in the PLC.

[0047] Specifically, when the tapping direction of the torpedo ladle is correct, the PLC controls the alarm not to sound; when the tapping direction is incorrect, the PLC controls the alarm to sound. Add a timer in the PLC program. After the tapping direction is correct, the timer is triggered to start timing. When the timing reaches 10 s, if the tapping direction is still correct, the tapping continues normally without an alarm prompt, and the timer is cleared; if the tapping direction is incorrect and the tipping permission signal of the torpedo ladle is valid, the torpedo ladle starts to tip and tap, the timer starts to time, and the operating handle 1 is monitored. When the timer reaches 10 s and the tapping direction is still incorrect, an alarm reminder is given to automatically prompt an operation error.

[0048] Optionally, the alarm is a computer speaker.

[0049] In this application, the computer speaker can be arranged on the operation console in the main control room. When an alarm occurs, voice alarm can be carried out through the computer speaker to prompt that the tapping direction is incorrect. Through voice alarm, users can quickly know that the tapping direction is incorrect.

[0050] As Figure 2 shown, the system further includes an electronic scale 6, and the electronic scale 6 is connected to the input end of the controller 2.

[0051] Among them, the electronic scale 6 can be arranged on the ladle car to measure the weight of the ladle. The electronic scale 6 includes a power supply, a weight sensor and a transmitter. After the weight sensor detects the weight signal of the ladle, it sends it to the transmitter, and the transmitter converts the weight signal into a 4-20 mA current signal and sends it to the controller 2. The controller 2 converts the received current signal into the weight of the ladle, and controls whether the alarm sounds according to the weight of the ladle. The electronic scale 6 can also include an instrument to display the weight of the ladle through the instrument.

[0052] In this embodiment, it is possible to judge whether to give an alarm according to the forward push signal and the backward pull signal of the operating handle 1 and the weight of the ladle measured by the electronic scale 6. Specifically, if the operating handle 1 performs a "forward push" operation and the torpedo ladle tilts, and the unit weight increase of the ladle is greater than 5 t, it is judged that the tapping direction is correct and there is no alarm, and the system automatically taps; if the operating handle 1 performs a "backward pull" action and the torpedo ladle performs a reset action, and at this time the unit weight increase of the ladle is greater than 5 t (the test calibration value), it is judged that the tapping direction is incorrect, and an alarm prompt is given to prompt the post that the tapping direction is incorrect. At this time, the post personnel confirm the gear of the reverse selection switch and then make corresponding adjustments.

[0053] In this embodiment, the electronic scale 6 can also be interlocked with the tipping action of the torpedo ladle to prevent iron spilling when tapping without a ladle on the trolley, and at the same time prevent the occurrence of iron spilling accidents caused by excessive tapping.

[0054] The specific interlock control is as follows: when the controller 2 detects that the weight measured by the electronic scale 6 is less than 90 tons (indicating that there is no ladle on the trolley), the controller 2 controls the torpedo ladle to prevent tipping, preventing the ladle from discharging molten iron directly without sitting on the trolley, resulting in molten iron spillage; when the controller 2 detects that the weight measured by the electronic scale 6 is greater than 335 tons (indicating that the ladle is full of molten iron), the controller 2 controls the torpedo ladle to reset, preventing excessive molten iron discharge and resulting in molten iron spillage.

[0055] In this embodiment, the contact can include three columns, corresponding to the fast, medium, and slow tilting speeds of the torpedo ladle respectively. During the iron discharge process, if the contact corresponding to the fast tilting is pressed, the torpedo ladle will tilt to the maximum angle, and at this time, the iron discharge speed is relatively fast. Using this speed for a long time will cause the iron discharge speed to be too fast and the molten iron cannot stop flowing immediately, easily resulting in excessive iron discharge or overflow and spillage of the molten iron ladle; in addition, when switching from slow to fast, it may cause the tilting angle of the torpedo ladle to suddenly increase, and the molten iron flows out too fast, resulting in the molten iron splashing outside the molten iron ladle. Therefore, based on the weight data of the electronic scale and the time data of weight detection, the controller 2 can calculate the molten iron flow rate. When the molten iron flow rate calculated by the controller 2 is too large, the controller 2 will control the alarm to sound, reminding the operator to control the iron discharge flow rate, facilitating the workers to adjust the operating handle 1 according to the flow rate during the iron discharge process, and realizing reasonable iron discharge.

[0056] Optionally, the system further includes a display.

[0057] In this embodiment, the detected various signals and data can be displayed through the display. The display can be arranged on the console in the main control room. A one-key operation screen can be made on the display, and the operation screen can intuitively and clearly reflect the operation prompts for the iron discharge direction gear selection, the error iron discharge alarm screen, the electronic scale screen of the molten iron trolley, and the flow rate screen during the iron discharge process. Each step of the on-site operation can see the corresponding prompts, making the on-site iron discharge operation more convenient and reducing errors. At the same time, all the operation screen steps are added to the equipment trend software, which is convenient for diagnosing problem points in case of faults, recording the non-standard operation behaviors of the on-site, and providing management means. For example, by displaying an image screen on the display, the operator can intuitively see the iron discharge flow rate.

[0058] Optionally, the system further includes a liquid level sensor, and the liquid level sensor is connected to the input end of the controller 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, the liquid level of the molten iron in the ladle can be monitored through the liquid level sensor, and the liquid level signal is sent to the controller 2. When the controller 2 calculates through operation that the liquid level is too high, it controls the alarm to sound, reminding the operator that the liquid level is too high and stop the iron discharge.

In actual applications, the above functions can be assigned to different functional modules according to needs, that is, the internal structure of the device is divided into different functional modules to complete all or part of the functions described above.
