Visualized intelligent monitoring of molten steel ladles includes infrared thermal imagers. These imagers capture infrared radiation from the surface and interior of the molten steel ladle to generate visual thermal maps, displaying the temperature distribution in different areas of the ladle in real time.

[0003] For example, patent publication number CN215178163U discloses a detection device for converter steel ladles based on an infrared thermal imager, including: an infrared thermal imager body, which is set inside the protective cover, and its light source end passes through the light aperture and illuminates the outer wall of the steelmaking electric arc furnace to monitor the real-time temperature generated during steelmaking in the steelmaking electric arc furnace; a rotating component, which is partially connected to the outer wall of the protective cover and is used to drive the protective cover and the infrared thermal imager body to rotate 360° in both directions in the horizontal direction; a connecting piece is provided at its bottom to fix the protective cover on the rotating component; through the rotational cooperation between the upper rotating plate and the lower rotating plate, the protective cover and the infrared thermal imager body can be effectively driven to rotate in the horizontal direction, so that the staff can easily move the device to a preset position according to the actual situation, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned device solves the problem of poor flexibility in the rotation of thermal imagers, it still has the following drawbacks: due to the poor production environment in steel plants, and the fact that molten steel ladles also produce fumes during actual production, dust will adhere to the lens of the thermal imager, resulting in blurred vision. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a visual intelligent monitoring device for molten steel ladles, which enables the lens of the thermal imager to have a protective structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a visual intelligent monitoring device for molten steel ladles, comprising a thermal imager body and a lens connected to the front end of the thermal imager body. The outer wall of the thermal imager body is connected to a bottom shell, and the outer wall of the bottom shell is connected to an outer shell. A mounting column is rotatably connected between the bottom shell and the outer shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the outer shell is fixedly connected with a surrounding edge, which is sleeved on the outside of the bottom shell and threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the mounting column is provided with symmetrically arranged slots, and inserts that are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring are fixedly connected in the slots.

[0011] Furthermore, a frame is fitted over the outer wall of the thermal imager body, and two connecting ribs are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame. The two connecting ribs are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom shell. A fastening bolt is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the frame, and the fastening bolt passes through one end of the frame and is threadedly connected to the thermal imager body.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-section of the insert and slot is rectangular.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a steel ladle visualization intelligent monitoring device includes a thermal imager body 1 and a lens connected to the front end of the thermal imager body 1. The outer wall of the thermal imager body 1 is connected to a bottom shell 6, and the outer wall of the bottom shell 6 is connected to an outer shell 2. A mounting column 13 is rotatably connected between the bottom shell 6 and the outer shell 2. A fixing ring 12 is connected to the outer side of the mounting column 13, and multiple dual-viewing rings 5 ​​are fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing ring 12. Both the bottom shell 6 and the outer shell 2 have through-holes 3. The dual-viewing rings 5 ​​are located between the 3 on the bottom shell 6 and the outer shell 2.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the steel ladle visualization intelligent monitoring device of this utility model is structurally similar to the existing detection device for converter steel ladles based on infrared thermal imagers. For example, patent publication number CN215178163U discloses a detection device for converter steel ladles based on infrared thermal imagers. The main improvement of this utility model is that the lens of the thermal imager has a protective structure, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, when the steel ladle visualization intelligent monitoring device of this utility model is in use, when the thermal imager body 1 is in use, its lens can work through the viewing hole 3 on the bottom shell 6 and the outer shell 2. A double viewing ring 5 is provided between the two viewing holes 3. The double viewing ring 5 is a high temperature resistant transparent sheet to ensure the normal viewing function of the lens. After the double viewing ring 5 has been working for a period of time, dirt will also be attached to its outer side. The mounting column 13 can be rotated to drive the multiple double viewing rings 5 ​​on the outer side of the fixing ring 12 to rotate and replace the double viewing ring 5. In this way, a clean double viewing ring 5 can be ensured.

[0024] The base shell 6, outer shell 2, and multiple rotating dual-view rings 5 ​​ensure lens protection. The base shell 6 and outer shell 2 also provide additional protection. When a dual-view ring 5 becomes dusty, the mounting post 13, fixing ring 12, and dual-view ring 5 can be rotated to replace it. This ensures the lens of the thermal imager body 1 remains clean, and the multiple dual-view rings 5 ​​extend the protective effect and reduce replacement frequency.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a motor 11 is connected to the outer wall of the bottom shell 6. A second pulley 17 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the mounting column 13 through the bottom shell 6. A first pulley 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 11. A transmission belt 16 is sleeved between the first pulley 15 and the second pulley 17.

[0026] Specifically, when the mounting post 13 needs to be rotated, the motor 11 can be started to drive the first pulley 15 to rotate. Under the setting of the transmission belt 16, the second pulley 17 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting post 13 to rotate, and then drives the fixing ring 12 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple double-view rings 5 ​​to rotate and replace.

[0027] The motor 11 here can be connected to the control center of the thermal imager body 1, and the rotation angle of the motor 11 can be set to fix the rotation angle of the dual-view ring 5.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the bottom shell 6 is connected to the mounting shell 10, the motor 11 is located on the inner wall of the mounting shell 10, and mounting ears 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the mounting shell 10. The mounting ears 14 are internally threaded with mounting bolts.

[0029] Specifically, the mounting ear 14 and mounting bolts can be used to fix the mounting shell 10 to the bottom shell 6 and protect the motor 11.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the outer shell 2 is fixedly connected with a rim 9, which is sleeved on the outside of the bottom shell 6 and threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom shell 6.

[0031] Specifically, when multiple dual-view rings 5 ​​need to be replaced, the outer shell 2 can be rotated, causing the surrounding edge 9 to rotate outside the bottom shell 6, thereby separating the surrounding edge 9 from the bottom shell 6. This allows the outer shell 2 to be separated from the bottom shell 6, making it easier to replace the dual-view rings 5.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the outer wall of the mounting post 13 has symmetrically arranged slots 18, and the slots 18 are slidably connected to the inserts 19 which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring 12.

[0033] Specifically, when the dual-view ring 5 needs to be replaced, the fixing ring 12 can be detached from the mounting post 13, thereby causing the insert 19 to detach from the slot 18.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a frame 4 is fitted on the outer wall of the thermal imager body 1. Two connecting ribs 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 4. The two connecting ribs 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom shell 6. A fastening bolt 8 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 4. The fastening bolt 8 passes through one end of the frame 4 and is threadedly connected to the thermal imager body 1.

[0035] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation of the bottom shell 6 and the outer shell 2, the sleeve frame 4 can be fitted onto the outside of the thermal imager body 1 and connected by fastening bolts 8 to ensure the stability of the sleeve frame 4. The two connecting ribs 7 can facilitate the stable pulling of the bottom shell 6.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the cross-sections of the insert 19 and the slot 18 are rectangular. The rectangular shape of the insert 19 and the slot 18 ensures the stability of the two after they are inserted.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
