[0002] Currently used industrial silicon tapping furnaces include those powered by pure electric motors and those with external hydraulic oil supply. Pure electric furnaces use servo motors to drive movement and various actions; however, servo motors cannot withstand excessive loads, are too expensive, and are prone to damage at high temperatures. External hydraulic oil supply involves an external hydraulic station supplying hydraulic oil to the furnace via long-distance oil pipes, driving the hydraulic motors and cylinders on the furnace. External oil supply requires long pipelines, which need to be routed within a cable chain and dragged back and forth. These long pipelines require multiple pipe joints, posing a risk of oil leakage over time. The working environment of industrial silicon tapping furnaces is harsh; they are exposed to the heat of the submerged arc furnace used to produce industrial silicon. High temperatures can cause malfunctions in various working components, severely impacting equipment safety, significantly reducing work efficiency, and resulting in a high equipment failure rate.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model discloses an industrial silicon furnace unloading robot for unloading operations from an industrial silicon submerged arc furnace. It includes a track, a boom 100, a slewing mechanism, and a chassis mechanism 200. The chassis mechanism 200 can move on a track 300 arranged around the submerged arc furnace. The chassis mechanism includes a chassis 3, a hydraulic power source 10, a valve assembly 8, and an oil tank 11. The chassis 3 moves on the track 300. The track 300 includes an arc-shaped section, which includes an inner guide rail with a relatively small diameter and an outer guide rail with a relatively large diameter. The chassis 3 has a box-type structure. The hydraulic power source 10 is located inside the chassis 3 and away from the industrial silicon submerged arc furnace. It includes components such as a motor and a hydraulic pump. The motor drives the hydraulic pump to pump oil into the hydraulic lines. The valve assembly 8 and the oil tank are located inside the chassis 3 at both ends. The hydraulic power source 10 provides power to the boom 100, the slewing mechanism, and the chassis mechanism 200 to perform actions.

[0029] This utility model discloses an industrial silicon furnace unloading robot. A hydraulic power source 10 is mounted on a chassis 3. The oil tank 11 and valve assembly 8 of this hydraulic power source are respectively located at both ends of the chassis 3. The hydraulic power source 10 is positioned between the oil tank 11 and the valve assembly 8. This allows the hydraulic power source 10 to be integrated into the chassis 3, saving space and facilitating maintenance. When the hydraulic power source directly supplies oil, the oil supply distance is shorter, pressure drop is smaller, and the oil supply volume is smaller, allowing for the use of smaller motors, smaller capacity radiators, and smaller capacity oil tanks. The box-type structure of the chassis 3 protects the internal components such as the hydraulic power source, valve assembly, and oil tank, preventing damage from the heat of the submerged arc furnace.

[0030] In one embodiment, the chassis mechanism 200 further includes a radiator assembly disposed within the chassis 3 and on the same side as the hydraulic power source 10. The radiator assembly is connected in series between the valve group 8 and the oil tank 11 to cool the hydraulic oil before it is introduced into the oil tank 11.

[0031] Specifically, the radiator assembly includes two radiators, namely a first radiator 12 and a second radiator 9. The two radiators are located at both ends of the chassis 3, and the chassis 3 has an air inlet and an air outlet at each end. The two radiators are positioned corresponding to the air inlet and air outlet positions, respectively, for cooling the hydraulic power source 10.

[0032] In one embodiment, the industrial silicon unloading robot also includes a baffle assembly disposed within the chassis 3. This baffle assembly, in conjunction with the side and end plates of the chassis 3, forms a heat dissipation channel. The heat sink assembly and the hydraulic power source 10 are both located within this heat dissipation channel, with both ends connected to an air inlet and an air outlet, respectively. This heat dissipation channel improves heat dissipation efficiency, preventing the heat emitted by the submerged arc furnace from potentially failing to dissipate within the chassis 3, and efficiently cooling the components within the chassis 3.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the chassis 3 is further provided with a slewing bearing 2, which is arranged in parallel with the hydraulic power source 10, and located respectively at... Figure 4 The upper and lower sides of the central region of the chassis 3 are shown. The baffle assembly includes a second baffle 14, a first baffle 15, and a third baffle 16. The first baffle 15 is located between the slewing bearing 2 and the hydraulic power source 10. The second baffle 14 and the third baffle 16 are respectively located near the two ends of the chassis 3. The second baffle 14 is located between the valve group 8 and the second radiator 9, and the third baffle 16 is located between the oil tank 11 and the first radiator 12.

[0034] In one embodiment, the chassis 3 has a recessed structure at its lower part to accommodate the hydraulic power source 10. Specifically, a recessed groove is formed on the lower surface of the chassis 3, and the hydraulic power source 10 is installed within this groove to prevent the top of the hydraulic power source 10 from protruding beyond the top of the chassis 3. This increases the internal space of the chassis 3 for accommodating the hydraulic power source 10, allowing the use of a larger motor.

[0035] In one embodiment, the chassis mechanism 200 further includes heat-insulating plates and heat-insulating baffles 4. The heat-insulating plates include a first heat-insulating plate 5, a second heat-insulating plate 6, and a third heat-insulating plate 7. These heat-insulating plates cover the chassis 3, exposing the slewing support 2. The heat-insulating plates can also cooperate with baffle assemblies to seal heat dissipation channels. Multiple heat-insulating baffles 4 are arranged side-by-side on one side of the chassis 3, close to the slewing support 2, to insulate against heat from the submerged arc furnace. The slewing support 2 can be rotatably connected to the slewing mechanism. In other embodiments, the slewing support 2 may be omitted, and a separate rotary table assembly may be bolted to the chassis 3.

[0036] In one embodiment, the heat insulation panel is a plate-like structure made of silicate material, such as aluminum silicate, which is lightweight, has better heat resistance, and is flame retardant. The heat insulation baffle is a plate-like structure made of mica material, such as mica board, which is hard and easy to install.

[0037] In one embodiment, the chassis mechanism 200 further includes an electrical control component 1, which is disposed on one side of the chassis 3, closer to the hydraulic power source, i.e., on the side away from the electric arc furnace to avoid being damaged by the furnace. In one embodiment, the chassis mechanism 200 includes a plurality of wheels, at least one of which is a hydraulic motor direct-drive wheel or a hub motor wheel. When the wheels are hydraulic motor direct-drive wheels, they can be directly driven by the hydraulic power source.

[0038] When the chassis 3 is a box-type structure, the hydraulic power source can be positioned as low as possible to minimize the high-temperature baking of the blast furnace. This is because the hot air near the blast furnace rises, and the lower the hydraulic station is positioned, the less chance it has to come into contact with the hot air, which helps to extend its service life.

[0039] In some embodiments, the chassis 3 has an externally integrated sprocket sensor 13, which is an existing product. The sprocket sensor 13 has a sprocket that engages with a chain set on the arc track. An encoder connected to the sprocket measures the rotation angle of the sprocket on the chain to collect position data of the chassis on the arc track.

[0040] In some embodiments, the track may also include a straight section that smoothly transitions to an arc section, allowing the industrial silicon furnace robot to move between the straight and arc sections. The straight section may extend to other industrial silicon submerged arc furnaces, thus enabling the industrial silicon furnace robot to move between different industrial silicon submerged arc furnaces via the track with the straight section.

[0041] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
