[0003] However, the performance of gas is greatly affected by temperature, and the driving execution force of gas is reduced under low temperature conditions. Due to the negative impact of the cold environment on the driving gas in the gas supply system, the pneumatic control frequently fails, thereby affecting the working efficiency of the automatic loading and unloading device of the sub-gun probe.

[0033] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] The automatic loading and unloading device for the auxiliary lance probe of a steelmaking converter is a crucial component of automatic steelmaking. Cold environments significantly impact the pneumatic control of the automatic loading and unloading device, causing it to frequently fail.

[0035] In view of this, the present application provides an air supply mechanism, which is applied to the automatic assembly and disassembly device of the auxiliary gun probe. The automatic assembly and disassembly device 106 of the auxiliary gun probe includes a pneumatic component 106. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a framework diagram of the air supply mechanism in an embodiment of the present application. The air supply mechanism 100 includes:

[0036] The gas source 101 is connected to the gas connection port of the pneumatic component 107 through the gas pipe 105. The gas source 101 stores gas and supplies gas to the pneumatic component 107 through the gas pipe 105 to drive the pneumatic component 107 to work.

[0037] The temperature detection mechanism 102 is provided on the gas pipe 105 and is used to detect the temperature of the gas passing through the gas pipe 105 .

[0038] The temperature control mechanism 103 is connected to the gas pipe 105 and is used to control the temperature of the gas passing through the gas pipe 105 .

[0039] The controller 104 is connected to the temperature detection mechanism 102 and the temperature control mechanism 103 respectively.

[0040] Controller 104 receives the signal from temperature detection mechanism 102 and, based on the signal, determines the temperature of the gas delivered to pneumatic assembly 107 via gas pipe 105. When this temperature falls below the minimum value of a set threshold range, controller 104 controls temperature control mechanism 103 to adjust the temperature of gas pipe 105 so that the temperature of the gas in gas pipe 105 reaches the set threshold, ensuring the normal operation of automatic sub-lance probe assembly 106 and thus reducing the failure rate of the pneumatic control of automatic sub-lance probe assembly 106. When the signal from temperature detection mechanism 102 indicates that the temperature of the gas in gas pipe 105 exceeds the maximum value of the set threshold range, controller 104 controls temperature control mechanism 103 to stop heating, so that the gas temperature remains within the normal operating range.

[0041] It is understandable that Figure 1 The arrow pointing from the temperature detection mechanism 102 to the gas pipe 105 indicates that the temperature detection mechanism 102 detects the temperature of the gas passing through the gas pipe 105. The arrow pointing from the temperature control mechanism 103 to the gas pipe 105 indicates that the temperature control mechanism 103 heats the gas in the gas pipe 105.

[0042] The following specific embodiments are used to describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be implemented independently or in combination with each other. For the same or similar concepts or processes, some embodiments may not be described in detail.

[0043] Next, combine Figure 2 The gas supply mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described, and this example does not constitute a limitation on the embodiment of the present application. The following embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes will not be repeated.

[0044] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 2As shown, the air supply mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a pneumatic triplet 201, which is disposed in the air pipe 105. The pneumatic triplet 201 filters, reduces pressure, and lubricates the passing gas. For example, the pneumatic triplet 201 is located between the temperature control mechanism 103 and the temperature detection mechanism 102.

[0045] In some possible implementations, Figure 2 As shown, the gas supply mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a human-machine interaction mechanism 202, which is electrically connected to the controller 104. The human-machine interaction mechanism 202 can be a touch screen, which displays the real-time temperature of the gas detected by the temperature detection mechanism 102 and allows the operator to input control instructions.

[0046] In some possible implementations, Figure 2 As shown, the gas supply mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a storage mechanism 203, which is electrically connected to the controller 104. The storage mechanism 203 stores the temperature change of the gas so that the operator can review the operation of the entire gas supply mechanism 100.

[0047] In a possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control mechanism 103 includes: a heating tank 204 and a heater 205 . The heating tank 204 is disposed in the air pipe 105 . The heater 205 is disposed in the heating tank 204 . The controller 104 is electrically connected to the heater 205 .

[0048] The gas from the gas source 101 first passes through the heating tank 204, and then enters the automatic loading and unloading device 106 of the secondary gun probe to drive the pneumatic component 107. When the gas temperature in the gas pipe 105 drops to a set threshold, making the gas temperature too low to drive the pneumatic component 107 to work normally, the controller 104 controls the heater 205 to work to heat the gas gathered in the heating tank 204, thereby ensuring that the pneumatic component 107 works normally in a cold environment.

[0049] It is understandable that Figure 2 Only one example of the connection between a pneumatic component 107 and an air pipe 105 is given. In fact, an automatic loading and unloading device 106 for a secondary gun probe has multiple pneumatic components 107, and the air pipe 105 needs to be provided with multiple branches to connect with the multiple pneumatic components 107 one by one, which will not be described here.

[0050] The heater 205 can be an electric heating rod, such as Figure 2As shown, the electric heating rod is arranged in the heating tank 204. When the electric heating rod is energized, it generates heat to heat the gas in the heating tank 204. It is understandable that the heater 205 can also adopt other devices with heating function, which will not be described here.

[0051] It is understandable that Figure 2 The connection between the controller 104 and the heater 205 indicates that the controller 104 has a control function for the heater 205. In fact, the controller 104 controls the heater 205 to start or stop by controlling the on and off of the power line of the heater 205.

[0052] In some possible implementations, the distance between the heating tank 204 and the pneumatic assembly 107 is less than one meter. The gas in the heating tank 204 loses heat as it passes through the air pipe 105. When the external ambient temperature is very low, the heat loss of the gas is accelerated. If the distance between the heating tank 204 and the pneumatic assembly 107 is too large, the gas will lose too much heat when entering the pneumatic assembly 107, making it difficult to maintain a normal operating temperature.

[0053] In some possible embodiments, in order to reduce the heat loss of the gas in the gas pipe 105, the gas supply mechanism 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes an insulation layer, which covers the wall of the gas pipe 105 to further ensure the temperature of the gas in the gas pipe 105.

[0054] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application also provides an automatic assembly and disassembly device for a secondary gun probe, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the automatic assembly and disassembly device for the auxiliary gun probe in an embodiment of the present application. The automatic assembly and disassembly device for the auxiliary gun probe includes a pneumatic component 300 and the air supply mechanism 100 provided in the above embodiment. The pneumatic component 300 includes:

[0055] The probe feeding mechanism 301 comprises a first air cylinder 3011 and a flip block 3012. The cylinder body of the first air cylinder 3011 is connected to the air supply mechanism 100, and the piston rod of the first air cylinder 3011 is connected to the flip block 3012. The probes are stored in a storage box, with the probe feeding mechanism 301 located at the bottom of the box. The air source 101 of the air supply mechanism 100 supplies air to the first air cylinder 3011 through the air pipe 105, driving the flip block 3012 to rotate and select the required probe from the storage box.

[0056] The probe conveying mechanism 302 comprises an air motor 3021 and a chain conveyor 3022. The air source 101 interface of the air motor 3021 is connected to the air supply mechanism 100, and the output end of the air motor 3021 is in driving connection with the chain conveyor 3022. A probe selected by the probe feeding mechanism 301 slides onto a bracket on the chain conveyor 3022. The air source 101 supplies air to the air motor 3021 through the air pipe 105, driving the chain conveyor 3022 and delivering the probe to the probe clamping mechanism 303.

[0057] The probe clamping mechanism 303 comprises a second air cylinder 3031 and a clamping sleeve 3032. The cylinder body of the second air cylinder 3031 is connected to the air supply mechanism 100, and the piston rod of the second air cylinder 3031 is connected to the clamping sleeve 3032. The air source 101 supplies air to the second air cylinder 3031 through the air pipe 105, driving the clamping sleeve 3032 to clamp the probe delivered by the probe conveying mechanism 302. This facilitates the probe's rotation from horizontal to vertical. During the steelmaking process, the auxiliary gun drives the vertical probe into the steelmaking furnace for testing.

[0058] The probe removal mechanism 304 comprises a third air cylinder 3041 and a rotating clamping plate 3042. The cylinder body of the third air cylinder 3041 is connected to the air supply mechanism 100, and the piston rod of the third air cylinder 3041 is connected to the rotating clamping plate 3042. After the probe is inspected within the steelmaking furnace, the secondary gun moves the probe to the probe removal mechanism 304. The air source 101 supplies air to the third air cylinder 3041 through the air pipe 105, driving the rotating clamping plate 3042 to clamp the probe. The secondary gun moves upward, separating the probe from the secondary gun. The removed probe containing the sample falls through the probe collection chute into a collection chamber. The operator then removes the sample from the probe and transports it to the chemical analysis room.

[0059] The pneumatic component 300 of the automatic loading and unloading device for the auxiliary gun probe, the probe feeding mechanism 301, the probe conveying mechanism 302, the probe clamping mechanism 303, and the probe disassembly mechanism 304 all need to be supplied with gas through the gas supply mechanism 100. When the automatic loading and unloading device for the auxiliary gun probe works in a cold environment, the gas temperature output by the gas source 101 is too low, which will cause these components that require gas drive to fail, thereby affecting the production process.

[0060] The automatic sub-lance probe assembly and removal device provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises a temperature detection mechanism 102 and a temperature control mechanism 103 provided in a gas supply mechanism 100. A controller 104 receives a signal from the temperature detection mechanism 102 and, based on the signal, determines the temperature of the gas delivered to the pneumatic assembly 300 via the gas pipe 105. When the temperature falls below the minimum value of a predetermined threshold range, the controller 104 controls the temperature control mechanism 103 to adjust the temperature of the gas pipe 105 so that the temperature of the gas in the gas pipe 105 reaches the predetermined threshold, ensuring the normal operation of the automatic sub-lance probe assembly and removal device, thereby reducing the failure rate of the pneumatic control of the automatic sub-lance probe assembly and removal device. When the signal from the temperature detection mechanism 102 indicates that the temperature of the gas in the gas pipe 105 exceeds the maximum value of the predetermined threshold range, the controller 104 controls the temperature control mechanism 103 to stop heating, so that the gas temperature remains within the normal operating range. This improves the operational stability of the automatic sub-lance probe assembly and removal device in cold environments, increases the sub-lance test yield, and optimizes smart sub-lance steelmaking.

[0061] Still Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the pneumatic component 300 of the automatic loading and unloading device of the auxiliary gun probe also includes a purge mechanism 305, including a purge tube 3051 and a purge head 3052. One end of the purge tube 3051 is connected to the air supply mechanism 100, and the other end is connected to the purge head 3052. The air source 101 of the air supply mechanism 100 supplies air to the purge tube 3051 through the air pipe 105, so that the purge head 3052 can purge the components of the automatic loading and unloading device of the auxiliary gun probe, especially the sensor components, to prevent dirt and dust from affecting the performance of the sensor.

[0062] It can be understood that the automatic loading and unloading device for the secondary gun probe provided in the embodiment of the present application, its probe feeding mechanism 301, probe conveying mechanism 302, probe clamping mechanism 303, probe disassembly mechanism 304, and purge mechanism 305, each mechanism cooperates with each other, but their gas use works independently, so the air pipe 105 of its air supply mechanism 100 includes a main pipe and multiple branches, one end of the main pipe is connected to the gas source 101, and the other end is connected to multiple branches, which is used to distribute the gas of the gas source 101 to each branch, and the first cylinder 3011, pneumatic motor 3021, second cylinder 3031, third cylinder 3041 and purge pipe 3051 are respectively connected to the branch pipes one by one. How each branch pipe transports the gas sent out from the main pipe to each mechanism will not be repeated here.
