Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment maintenance technology, specifically to a metallurgical equipment testing and maintenance platform. Background Technology

[0002] Metallurgy is the process and technology of extracting metals or metal compounds from minerals and processing them into metallic materials with certain properties using various methods. Generally, metallurgy is a metallurgical process carried out under high temperature conditions. Some or all of the minerals in the ore or concentrate undergo a series of physicochemical changes at high temperatures to generate another form of compound or element, which is enriched in gaseous, liquid or solid products, ultimately achieving the purpose of separating the metal to be extracted from gangue and other impurities.

[0003] The existing maintenance platform is not easy to move and adjust flexibly, and cannot safely move personnel to the required maintenance position or height on the metallurgical equipment, which brings great inconvenience to the maintenance work. Moreover, the current testing and maintenance platform has a small testing range, which is not conducive to testing work.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a testing and maintenance platform suitable for metallurgical equipment, which can provide effective solutions to the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Due to the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, this utility model provides a testing and maintenance platform for metallurgical equipment to solve the problem that some locations of existing maintenance equipment are inaccessible to personnel.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A testing and maintenance platform for metallurgical equipment includes a movable base, a telescopic mechanism on top of the movable base, a worktable at the top of the telescopic mechanism, a fixed frame on top of the worktable, a connecting frame that can move up and down on the fixed frame, a robotic arm that can move left and right along the movable frame on the connecting frame, and a detection probe at the end of the robotic arm. The worktable is adjusted to a specified height by the telescopic mechanism, and then the connecting frame is controlled to move up and down along the metallurgical equipment. The movement of the robotic arm drives the detection probe to test the metallurgical equipment within its stroke range.

[0008] The mobile base is equipped with a first telescopic cylinder and a first motor for controlling the telescopic mechanism, and a protective plate is provided on the outside of the first motor.

[0009] A first movable block is movably installed inside the fixed frame. One end of the first movable block passes through the inner wall of the fixed frame and is fixedly installed with a connecting plate. A first sliding through hole matching the connecting plate is opened through the inner wall of the fixed frame. A connecting frame is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting plate. A second movable block is movably installed inside the connecting frame. A second sliding through hole matching the second movable block is opened through the bottom inner wall of the connecting frame. A mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. A six-axis robotic arm is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the mounting plate. A detection probe is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the other end of the six-axis robotic arm.

[0010] The base plate has a first rotating column movably installed inside it. The output shaft end of the first motor is fixedly installed with a first driving gear. The outer side of the first rotating column is fixedly installed with a first driven gear. The first driving gear and the first driven gear are meshed and connected. Both ends of the first rotating column are fixedly installed with first threaded columns.

[0011] The telescopic mechanism includes a first movable hinge seat, a first fixed hinge seat, a second movable hinge seat, and a second fixed hinge seat. The first movable hinge seat is threaded to the outside of a first threaded post. The first fixed hinge seat is fixedly installed on the top side of the base plate. The second fixed hinge seat is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the worktable. A first fixed post is fixedly installed in the inner cavity at the bottom of the worktable. The second movable hinge seat is movably installed on the outside of the first fixed post.

[0012] A first connecting post is movably installed inside the top of the first movable hinge seat, and a second connecting post is movably installed in the first fixed hinge seat. The second movable hinge seat is movably connected to the second connecting post, and the second fixed hinge seat is movably connected to the first connecting post.

[0013] A first connecting pin is movably installed through the center of the first connecting pin and the center of the second connecting pin, and a second connecting pin is movably installed through the connection between the ends of the first connecting pin and the ends of the second connecting pin.

[0014] A second motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench, and a second threaded column is movably installed in the fixed frame. The output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the second threaded column, and the second threaded column is threadedly connected to the first moving block.

[0015] A third motor is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting frame, and a third threaded column is movably installed inside the connecting frame. The output shaft end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the third threaded column, and the second moving block is threadedly connected to the outside of the third threaded column.

[0016] The base plate is equipped with casters at all four corners of its bottom.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the above invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This testing and maintenance platform for metallurgical equipment features a first motor that drives a first threaded column to rotate via a first driving gear, a first driven gear, and a first rotating column. The rotation of the first threaded column causes a first movable hinge seat to move, while a second movable hinge seat slides on a first fixed column. The first and second fixed hinge seats are respectively fixed to a base plate and a worktable. Thus, the first and second movable hinge seats, through the first and second connecting pins respectively, change the angle between the first and second connecting columns, thereby adjusting the height of the worktable. This allows for adjustable worktable height according to actual conditions, facilitating the testing and maintenance of metallurgical equipment.

[0019] 2. This testing and maintenance platform for metallurgical equipment uses a second motor to drive a second threaded column to rotate. The rotation of the second threaded column causes a first moving block to move within a fixed frame. This movement of the first moving block, via a connecting plate, changes the height of the connecting frame relative to the worktable. A third motor drives a third threaded column to rotate. This rotation, along with the second moving block, mounting plate, and six-axis robotic arm, causes a testing probe to inspect the equipment on the worktable. Furthermore, the testing probe can be parallel to the worktable, increasing the testing range. Attached Figure Description
