[0001] This application belongs to the field of slag sample transfer and receiving technology, and in particular relates to a slag sample receiving device. Background Technology
[0002] During the blast furnace and converter smelting process, high-temperature slag samples need to be tested. These slag samples need to be transferred to a sample receiving cup by equipment such as robotic arms for subsequent sample preparation and testing. However, if the robotic arms or other equipment malfunction, manual assistance is often required for the transfer and transport of the slag samples.
[0003] Currently, the slag sample can be transferred from the slag sample box to the sample receiving cup by the operator. However, during the process of manually transferring the slag sample to the sample receiving cup, the slag sample may spill and burn the operator. The safety of the manual transfer of slag sample is difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application aims to at least partially solve the technical problem of the difficulty in ensuring safety during the manual transfer of slag samples. To this end, this application provides a slag sample receiving device.
[0005] This application provides a slag sample receiving device for receiving slag samples, including:
[0006] Support component, equipped with a support platform;
[0007] A funnel, connected to the support and used to receive the slag sample, has one end being a smaller diameter end than the other end, and the smaller diameter end faces the support platform.
[0008] A sample receiving cup is supported on the support platform, and the opening of the cup is used to receive the slag sample flowing out from the small-diameter end;
[0009] A temperature sensor is connected to the support member and is used to measure the temperature of the sample cup.
[0010] In some or more embodiments, the diameter of the mouth of the sample receiving cup is larger than the diameter of the smaller diameter end.
[0011] In some or more embodiments, the other end of the funnel is a large-diameter end, and the ratio of the diameter of the large-diameter end to the diameter of the small-diameter end is 3:1 to 5:1.
[0012] In some or more embodiments, the funnel is a stainless steel funnel or a silicon carbide ceramic funnel, and the outer peripheral wall of the funnel is covered with a heat insulation layer.
[0013] In some or more embodiments, the temperature sensor is a digital temperature sensor.
[0014] In some or more embodiments, the support platform is a ferromagnetic support platform.
[0015] In some or more embodiments, the support platform is provided with at least two positioning protrusions, which are distributed circumferentially around the sample receiving cup.
[0016] In some or more embodiments, the support platform is provided with an annular groove, the small-diameter end faces the annular groove, and the slag sample receiving device includes at least two sample receiving cups, which are supported in the annular groove.
[0017] In some or more embodiments, the support includes:
[0018] The main body is connected to the temperature sensor;
[0019] The mounting part is connected to the main body and has a mounting hole. The funnel is connected to the mounting part and passes through the mounting hole.
[0020] A support portion, connected to the main body and configured as the support platform.

[0022] The beneficial effects provided by one or more embodiments of this application are as follows:
[0023] When manual transfer of slag samples to a receiving cup is required, a slag sample receiving device can be used to assist in the transfer. The receiving cup is supported on a support platform. A funnel connected to the support platform receives the slag sample, with the smaller diameter end of the funnel facing the support platform. The opening of the receiving cup on the support platform can then be moved to align with the smaller diameter end of the funnel. Slag samples from the slag sample box or retention cup can be poured into the funnel from the larger diameter end and collected. The opening of the receiving cup receives the slag sample flowing out from the smaller diameter end of the funnel. The larger diameter end of the funnel effectively collects the slag sample, reducing the possibility of spillage during transfer from the slag sample box to the receiving cup. This reduced risk of spillage and potential burns to operators from spilled slag improves safety during manual slag sample transfer. Furthermore, the slag sample receiving device is equipped with a temperature sensor connected to the support component. The temperature sensor can measure the temperature of the sample cup, which can reduce the risk of operators coming into contact with the high-temperature sample cup and also help reduce the risk of operators being burned by the sample cup. This improves the safety of the manual transfer of slag samples and, to a certain extent, solves the technical problem that the safety of the manual transfer of slag samples is difficult to guarantee.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0032] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

[0033] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0034] In related technologies, during the blast furnace and converter smelting process, high-temperature slag samples requiring testing need to be transferred to slag sample boxes or retention cups via an automated conveyor line. After entering the slag sample box or retention cup, they need to be transferred to a receiving cup via a conveyor belt and a robotic arm. A certain amount of slag sample in the receiving cup is then transferred to relevant equipment for processing, such as grinding, before testing. However, when equipment such as the robotic arm malfunctions, the transfer and testing of slag samples must be performed manually. Operators need to transfer the slag sample from the slag sample box or retention cup to the receiving cup. However, during the manual transfer of slag samples to the receiving cup, slag spillage is likely to occur. Spilled samples may splash onto the operator's body, potentially causing burns or other risks. There is a technical problem that the safety of manually transferring slag samples cannot be guaranteed. This application provides a slag sample receiving device, which can at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0035] The present application will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0036] Figure 1 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the usage state of a slag sample receiving device according to some embodiments or certain embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This application shows a top view of a slag sample receiving device according to some or all embodiments thereof, with reference to... Figure 1 , 2 This application provides a slag sample receiving device, including:
[0037] Support component 1 is provided with a support platform 11;
[0038] Funnel 2 is connected to support 1 and is used to receive slag sample. One end of funnel 2 is a small diameter end 21 with a smaller diameter than the other end. The small diameter end 21 faces the support platform 11.
[0039] The sample receiving cup 3 is supported on the support platform 11, and the cup mouth 31 is used to receive the slag sample flowing out from the small diameter end 21;
[0040] Temperature sensor 4 is connected to support 1 and is used to measure the temperature of sample cup 3.
[0041] When manual transfer of slag samples to the receiving cup 3 is required, a slag sample receiving device can be used to assist in the transfer. The receiving cup 3 is supported on the support platform 11 of the support member 1. The funnel 2 is connected to the support member 1 and is used to receive the slag sample. The smaller diameter end of the funnel 2 is the small diameter end 21, which faces the support platform 11. The cup mouth 31 of the receiving cup 3 on the support platform 11 can be moved to be opposite to the small diameter end 21 of the funnel 2. The slag sample in the slag sample box or the retention cup 100 can be poured in from the larger diameter end of the funnel 2 and collected by the funnel 2. The cup mouth 31 of the receiving cup 3 is used to receive the slag sample flowing out from the small diameter end 21. The slag sample flowing out from the small diameter end 21 of the funnel 2 enters the receiving cup 3. The larger diameter end of funnel 2 effectively collects the slag sample, reducing the possibility of spillage during transfer from the slag sample box to the sample receiving cup 3. This reduced spillage lowers the risk of burns to operators, improving safety during manual slag sample transfer. Furthermore, the slag sample receiving device is equipped with a temperature sensor 4 connected to the support component 1. This sensor measures the temperature of the sample receiving cup 3, further reducing the risk of operators coming into contact with the high-temperature cup and minimizing the risk of burns. This enhances safety during manual slag sample transfer and, to some extent, addresses the technical challenge of ensuring safety during this process.
[0042] Furthermore, the possibility of slag spillage is reduced, and the amount of slag entering the sample cup 3 is kept relatively stable, which facilitates the processing and testing of a fixed amount of slag.
[0043] It should be noted that the amount of slag sample retained in the slag sample box or sample cup 100 is usually greater than the amount of slag sample required for processing and testing. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the slag sample into the smaller sample cup 3. The sample cup 3 accepts an appropriate amount of slag sample before proceeding with subsequent processing and testing.
[0044] In some or more embodiments, the diameter of the mouth 31 of the sample receiving cup 3 may be larger than the diameter of the small-diameter end 21.
[0045] The diameter of the mouth 31 of the sample receiving cup 3 is larger than the diameter of the small diameter end 21. The sample receiving cup 3 can be moved so that the mouth 31 of the sample receiving cup 3 is opposite to the small diameter end 21 of the funnel 2, which effectively reduces the possibility of spillage of the slag sample during the transfer into the sample receiving cup 3, reduces the possibility of burns, and improves the safety of manual transfer of slag sample.
[0046] In some or more embodiments, the mouth 31 of the sample receiving cup 3 can be opposite to the small-diameter end 21 of the funnel 2, or the mouth 31 of the sample receiving cup 3 can be equal to the diameter of the small-diameter end 21, or the small-diameter end 21 of the funnel 2 can also extend into the mouth 31 of the sample receiving cup 3. All of these methods can achieve stable reception of the slag sample by the sample receiving cup 3 and reduce the possibility of slag sample spillage.
[0047] In some or more embodiments, the other end of the funnel 2 is a large-diameter end 22, and the ratio of the diameter of the large-diameter end 22 to the diameter of the small-diameter end 21 is 3:1 to 5:1. When the ratio of the diameter of the large-diameter end 22 to the small-diameter end 21 of the funnel 2 is within the above range, the collection effect of the slag sample is better, and the transfer of the slag sample is also more stable.
[0048] In some or more embodiments, the funnel 2 may be a stainless steel funnel or a silicon carbide ceramic funnel, and the outer peripheral wall of the funnel 2 is covered with a heat insulation layer (not shown in the figure).
[0049] Stainless steel or silicon carbide ceramic funnels have a longer service life. The heat insulation layer covering the outer peripheral wall of funnel 2 can increase the heat between funnel 2 and the slag sample inside, reduce the risk of burns, and improve the safety of manual slag sample transfer. The outer peripheral wall of funnel 2 is the surface opposite to the surface corresponding to the channel of funnel 2.
[0050] In some or more embodiments, the funnel 2 can be a high-temperature resistant steel funnel 2, and the insulation layer can be a high-temperature resistant polymer material insulation layer. This is easy to implement and also offers high safety.
[0051] In some or more embodiments, the temperature sensor 4 is a digital temperature sensor 4. This allows for a more intuitive determination of the temperature of the sample cup 3, and operators can use the temperature value displayed by the digital temperature sensor 4 to determine whether the sample cup 3 is safe.
[0052] It should be noted that the digital temperature sensor 4 can be either a contact type or a non-contact type. The contact type digital temperature sensor 4 will have a probe, which is used to contact the sample cup 3.
[0053] In some or more embodiments, the support platform 11 may be a ferromagnetic support platform 11. The support platform 11 is a ferromagnetic support platform 11, which can be adsorbed onto iron equipment or structures, making it easy to fix and stably support the support platform 11. When the sample cup 3 is an iron sample cup 3, the support platform 11 can also adsorb the sample cup 3, and the sample cup 3 can receive the slag sample in a relatively stable state.
[0054] In some or all embodiments, the support platform 11 is provided with at least two positioning protrusions 111, which are distributed circumferentially around the sample receiving cup 3.
[0055] The positioning protrusion 111 can support and position the sample cup 3, so that the sample cup 3 can stably receive the slag sample, which is beneficial to improving the stability of slag sample transfer and also prevents the sample cup 3 from tipping over, thus improving the safety of sample reception.
[0056] Figure 3 This application shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a support platform according to some embodiments or certain embodiments. (Refer to...) Figure 3 In some or all embodiments, the support platform 11 may also be provided with an annular groove 112, with the small diameter end 21 facing the annular groove 112. The slag sample receiving device includes at least two sample cups 3, which are supported in the annular groove 112.
[0057] When an annular groove 112 is provided on the support platform 11 opposite to the small-diameter end 21, and at least two sample cups 3 are supported in the annular groove 112, the annular groove 112 can play a certain positioning role for the sample cups 3. At least two sample cups 3 can also move sequentially in the annular groove 112 until the cup mouth 31 is opposite to the small-diameter end 21, so that at least two sample cups 3 can receive the slag sample in sequence, which is beneficial to improving the transfer efficiency of the slag sample.
[0058] It should be noted that, Figure 3 The structure of the support platform 11 can be one implementation of the support platform 11, and the structure of the support platform 11 can also be... Figure 1 , 2 With the following text Figure 4 The structure shown in the diagram can play a certain positioning role for both the docking sample cup 3 and the other sample cup 3.
[0059] Figure 4 This application shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a slag sample receiving device according to some embodiments or certain embodiments. (Refer to...) Figure 4 In some or more embodiments, the support member 1 may include:
[0060] Body 12 is connected to temperature sensor 4;
[0061] Mounting part 13 is connected to main body 12 and has mounting hole. Funnel 2 is connected to mounting part 13 and passes through mounting hole (not shown in figure).
[0062] The support section is connected to the main body 12 and is configured as a support platform 11.
[0063] The main body 12 of the support member 1 can provide installation space for the temperature sensor 4, the mounting part 13 and the support part. The mounting part 13 can be used to install the funnel 2, provide support for the funnel 2, and improve the positional stability of the funnel 2. The support part is configured as a support platform 11, which can be used to support the sample cup 3.
[0064] It should be noted that, Figure 4 The structure of sample cup 3 is omitted in the text.
[0065] In some or more embodiments, the temperature sensor 4 is a digital temperature sensor 4, and the funnel 2 is located between the temperature display screen 41 of the digital temperature sensor 4 and the support platform 11. This orientation allows the slag sample receiving device to be positioned in use, such as when the main body 12 or the sample receiving platform is supported or connected to the equipment or the ground, and the small-diameter end 21 of the funnel 2 is below the large-diameter end 22 of the funnel 2, while the temperature display screen 41 of the digital temperature sensor 4 is positioned above the funnel 2, making it convenient for the operator to observe the temperature of the sample cup 3.
[0066] In some or more embodiments, the main body 12 may be a grid or a block, and the mounting part 13 and the support part may both be plate-shaped or block-shaped, and are relatively spaced apart from the main body 12. This facilitates fabrication and implementation.
