[0020] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the embodiments and the drawings thereof. Embodiment 1

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The working principle of the hydraulic system of the unmanned steel casting long nozzle manipulator of this utility model is as follows: High-pressure oil is filtered through high-pressure ball valve 1 and filter 3, and then passes through solenoid directional valve 4. When solenoid directional valve 4 is energized, the high-pressure oil will reach hydraulic control check valve 5 and its control port, thereby opening the main oil circuit to proportional directional valve 7 and the rodless chamber of hydraulic cylinder 2. Pressure reducing valve 6 is used to adjust the pressure and stability of the hydraulic source. The pressure reducing valve 6 can adjust the high-pressure oil pressure at the inlet of proportional directional valve 7. After the high-pressure oil enters proportional directional valve 7, the proportional directional valve 7 is regulated by current or voltage control, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder rod, and the speed of the hydraulic cylinder rod movement can be controlled. When proportional directional valve 7 is in the neutral position and the inlet and outlet ports are closed, hydraulic cylinder 2 will be in a static working state. In special circumstances, hydraulic cylinder 2 may be subjected to a force opposite to the target movement of hydraulic cylinder 2, which will cause the hydraulic cylinder rod to extend or retract slightly. The hydraulic oil will then flow from the T-pipe through check valve 8 ( Figure 3 (As shown in the diagram) Oil enters the rodless chamber of hydraulic cylinder 2, or enters the rod chamber of hydraulic cylinder 2 via check valve 8, to achieve the oil replenishment function of both chambers of hydraulic cylinder 2 without causing hydraulic cylinder 2 to suck in air. To ensure good contact between the long nozzle 12 of the robotic arm and the ladle nozzle 13 when hydraulic cylinder 2 is in a fixed working position, it is necessary to ensure that when the ladle nozzle 13 presses down on the long nozzle 12 of the robotic arm, the long nozzle 12 of the robotic arm can move downwards accordingly, while maintaining a constant upward supporting force to ensure that the long nozzle 12 does not tend to detach from the ladle nozzle. In the hydraulic circuits of the rodless and rod chambers of hydraulic cylinder 2, corresponding relief valves 9 are installed, with their relief pressure values ​​set. Thus, when the ladle nozzle is pressed downwards, hydraulic cylinder 2 is forced to retract. When the pressure reaches the set value, excess hydraulic oil can overflow from the relief valve back to the T-pipe, ensuring that the working pressure of hydraulic cylinder 2 is always maintained at the set pressure of the relief valve. This ensures that the long nozzle 12 always supports the ladle nozzle 13 upwards, maintaining a tight fit, ultimately achieving the work of fitting the nozzle. Example 2

[0022] Please see now Figure 2 and Figure 3 The structure and working principle of the hydraulic system of the unmanned steel pouring long nozzle manipulator of this utility model are the same as those of Embodiment 1, and a pressure relay 10 and a pressure gauge 11 are added on the basis of this embodiment. Figure 3 (Not shown in the image), wherein the pressure relay 10 and the pressure gauge 11 are respectively connected to the hydraulic cylinder 2 and the relief valve 9. When the system pressure reaches the set value of the pressure relay, an electrical signal is sent to depressurize and reverse the oil circuit, shut down the motor, and stop the system from working, thus providing further safety protection.

[0023] The use method of the unmanned steel pouring long nozzle manipulator hydraulic system: the manipulator is given coordinates through the controller, the target position of the long nozzle 12 of the manipulator is positioned through displacement sensors and other elements, so that the manipulator automatically travels to the position directly below the ladle nozzle 13, and then the rising function is realized through the hydraulic cylinder 2, the long nozzle 12 of the manipulator and the ladle nozzle 13 are tightly matched, and the nozzle sleeve is tightened. The hydraulic system mainly controls the vertical positioning (i.e. the lifting function) and the follow-up function of the long nozzle of the manipulator, and the rotating function of the manipulator is realized by a common motor. The hydraulic system of the unmanned steel pouring long nozzle manipulator has the advantages that the hydraulic system realizes the functions of grabbing the long nozzle and accurately sleeving the long nozzle by using the hydraulic proportional control circuit, controlling the lifting of the manipulator, combining the functions of the manipulator rotating motor and the displacement sensor, etc. The operator does not need to operate near the furnace, and only needs to press the keys on the control console, so that the manipulator can automatically grab the nozzle and sleeve the nozzle on the ladle nozzle. In this way, the operator can be away from the harsh working environment and transferred to the operation room, and the nozzle can be automatically and accurately sleeved, without the need for a dedicated operator to operate the manipulator, thereby improving the working environment of the operator and reducing the labor cost.

[0024] The above examples are only used to illustrate the utility model, and are not limited to the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various transformations or changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should belong to the scope of the utility model, and should be limited by the claims.
