[0029] The water-cooled cover plate 1 and the water-cooled bottom plate 2 are respectively selected from any water-cooled plate in the prior art and used in this solution to reduce the temperature. The details will not be described here.

[0030] The buffer mechanism includes a support rod 5, a water-cooled base plate connecting seat 6 and a water-cooled cover plate connecting seat 7; the water-cooled base plate 2 mounting seat is hinged to the first connecting end of the support rod 5, the water-cooled cover plate connecting seat 7 is hinged to the second connecting end of the support rod 5, the axis of the hinged water-cooled base plate 2 mounting seat is parallel to the axis of the hinged water-cooled cover plate connecting seat 7, the water-cooled base plate 2 mounting seat is fixed on the top surface of the water-cooled base plate 2, and the water-cooled cover plate connecting seat 7 is fixed on the bottom surface of the water-cooled cover plate 1, so that the buffer mechanism forms a connection between the water-cooled cover plate 1 and the water-cooled base plate 2;

[0031] As shown in the figure, the main body of the support rod 5 is in the shape of a rod, and the two ends of the support rod 5 correspond to threaded connection sleeves respectively, and are hinged to the water-cooled base plate connecting seat 6 and the water-cooled cover plate connecting seat 7 through the sleeves. In this scheme, the buffer mechanism is two groups arranged vertically between the water-cooled cover plate 1 and the water-cooled base plate 2, and the support rods 5 in the two groups of the buffer mechanisms are "L"-shaped; the setting of the buffer mechanism can effectively horizontally position and connect the water-cooled cover plate 1 and the water-cooled base plate 2 to avoid generating large horizontal shear forces to damage the furnace scale, and has a certain degree of freedom in the vertical direction to avoid affecting the weighing accuracy.

[0032] The weighing sensor 3 is arranged between the water-cooled base plate 2 and the water-cooled cover plate 1, with the contact 31 of the weighing sensor 3 facing upward. The pressure head 4 is driven to move up and down and is arranged in the middle of the water-cooled cover plate 1. The bottom end of the pressure head 4 contacts the contact 31 so that the gravity signal is received through the up and down movement of the pressure head 4. The weighing sensor 3 has at least two signal output terminals 32. The weighing sensor 3 in this scheme selects any one of the weighing sensors 3 with dual output signals in the existing technology and is used in this scheme, which will not be described in detail here; the working environment of the weighing sensor 3 is improved by peripheral water cooling protection, and the output of its two weighing signals can ensure normal use even if one signal has problems, the other can also be used normally. During operation, the two signals can be collected for comparison, and the more accurate weighing signal is used to provide important reference data for precise smelting control; a temperature sensor 8 is also provided on the side wall of the weighing sensor 3, and an external water-cooling protective cover 9 is provided on the periphery of the weighing sensor 3, and the external water-cooling protective cover 9 covers the temperature sensor inside, wherein the temperature sensor and the external water-cooling protective cover 9 respectively select any one of the existing technologies according to actual conditions to achieve the established purpose, which will not be described in detail here, the setting of the temperature sensor and the external water-cooling protective cover 9 can detect the temperature of the weighing sensor 3 body in real time, effectively feedback the signal and control the cooling in real time, thereby achieving the purpose of multiple cooling protection, reducing the occurrence of danger, and improving the reliability and safety of the structure.

[0033] In this embodiment, the water-cooled base plate 2 is provided with a positioning groove 21 for installing the weighing sensor 3, and the positioning groove is matched with a positioning cover plate 22. The two are adapted to limit the bottom of the weighing sensor to prevent the weighing sensor 3 from shifting and ensure the weighing accuracy; the water-cooled cover plate 1 and the water-cooled base plate 2 are connected by a protective plate; the protective plate circumferentially closes the water-cooled base plate 2 and the water-cooled cover plate 1 and reserves an unclosed grounding bar installation position on one side.

The top of the contact 31 has a load-bearing spherical surface, and the bottom of the column has a recess of the same size as the load-bearing spherical surface, so that the pressure head 4 and the contact 31 of the load cell 3 are adapted to contact and connect. The structural design of the pressure head 4 effectively protects the contact 31 and improves the detection accuracy.

[0035] This solution improves the working environment of weighing sensor 3 through peripheral water cooling protection. Its two weighing signal outputs ensure normal operation even if one signal fails. Both signals can be collected and compared during operation, using the more accurate signal to provide important reference data for precise smelting control. Two sets of buffer mechanisms are installed perpendicular to each other, effectively horizontally positioning and connecting the water-cooled cover plate 1 and water-cooled base plate 2 to prevent damage to the furnace scale caused by large horizontal shear forces, while also allowing a certain degree of vertical freedom to avoid affecting weighing accuracy. The symmetrical, multi-layer water cooling protection, the output of two weighing signals, the grounding system to eliminate induced currents, and the buffer mechanism to eliminate horizontal shear forces ensure reliable and accurate furnace weighing. This allows operators to accurately determine the amount of molten steel in the furnace, the amount of scrap added, the amount of steel tapped, and the amount of steel remaining in the furnace, thereby ensuring smooth smelting.
