Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clay clamping technology, and in particular to a clamping tool for clay. Background Technology

[0002] Taphole clay is a refractory material used to seal the taphole. It can be divided into two main categories: water-based taphole clay and waterless taphole clay. The former is used in small and medium-sized blast furnaces with low top pressure and low degree of intensification, while the latter is used in large and medium-sized blast furnaces with high top pressure and high degree of intensification. In the process of using taphole clay, it is usually necessary to use a robotic arm in conjunction with a clamp to place the taphole clay in the designated position.

[0003] When using a clamp, the cone is usually inserted into the inner wall of the clay to hold it and place it in the designated position. However, after holding the clay with the cone, when it is necessary to place the clay, the clay easily adheres to the surface of the cone, making it difficult for the clay to fall off and affecting the use of the clamp. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a clamp for gunning clay, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A clamp for taphole clay includes a support rod with a through hole on one side. An installation block is mounted on the inner wall of the hole via a lifting mechanism. A clamping mechanism is provided on one side of the installation block. A conical spike is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support rod. A limit mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the hole. A connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the top of the support rod, and an installation mechanism is provided at one end of the connecting rod.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a first motor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hole, a lead screw fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor, and the surface of the mounting block is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a second motor fixedly installed on one side of the mounting block, a bidirectional threaded rod fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor, a movable plate threaded onto the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod, and a clamping plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable plate.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove formed in the inner wall of the hole, and a limiting block is slidably installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove. One side of the limiting block and one side of the mounting block are fixedly installed.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting mechanism includes a flange fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting rod, and bolts are threaded onto the surface of the flange.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting block is provided with a sliding groove, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is in contact with the surface of the moving plate.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the hole is in contact with the surface of the mounting block, and the number of the movable plate and the clamping plate is two sets and they are arranged symmetrically.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This gunning clay clamp can fix the gunning clay by inserting the conical spike into the inner wall of the gunning clay. The clamping mechanism can further hold the gunning clay, making the gunning clay more stable. When the gunning clay needs to be placed, the lifting mechanism drives the mounting block to descend, the mounting block drives the clamping mechanism to descend, and the clamping mechanism drives the gunning clay to descend, so that the gunning clay leaves the surface of the conical spike, preventing the gunning clay from adhering to the surface of the conical spike. The clamping mechanism releases the gunning clay, which can then be placed. This achieves the purpose of facilitating the clamping and placement of the gunning clay. The structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example: Refer to Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a clamp for taphole clay, including a support rod 1. A hole 2 is formed through one side of the support rod 1. An installation block 5 is mounted on the inner wall of the hole 2 via a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a first motor 3 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the hole 2. A lead screw 4 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 3. The surface of the installation block 5 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 4, facilitating the lifting and lowering of the installation block 5, allowing for height adjustment. A clamping mechanism is provided on one side of the installation block 5, including a second motor 6 fixedly mounted on one side of the installation block 5. A bidirectional threaded rod 7 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor 6. The surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 7 is threaded with a movable plate 8. The bottom of the movable plate 8 is fixedly installed with a clamping plate 9, which facilitates the movement of the clamping plate 9. The bottom of the mounting block 5 is provided with a sliding groove 16. The inner wall of the sliding groove 16 is in contact with the surface of the movable plate 8, which limits the movement of the movable plate 8 and makes the movement of the movable plate 8 more stable. The inner wall of the hole 2 is in contact with the surface of the mounting block 5, which limits the movement of the mounting block 5 and makes the movement of the mounting block 5 more stable. There are two sets of movable plates 8 and clamping plates 9, which are symmetrically arranged. By driving the clamping plates 9 to move in opposite directions, the clay can be clamped or loosened, which facilitates the fixing or unfixing of the clay.

[0021] Specifically, a conical spike 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 1. A limiting mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the hole 2. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove 11 formed in the inner wall of the hole 2. A limiting block 12 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 11. One side of the limiting block 12 and one side of the mounting block 5 are fixedly installed to limit the movement of the mounting block 5, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the mounting block 5. A connecting rod 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the support rod 1. An installation mechanism is provided at one end of the connecting rod 13. The installation mechanism includes a flange 14 fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 13. Bolts 15 are threaded on the surface of the flange 14 to facilitate the overall installation onto the machinery through the flange 14 and the bolts 15. The design incorporates a robotic arm for easy adjustment of the overall position. By inserting the cone 10 into the inner wall of the clay, the clay can be fixed in place. The clamping mechanism further holds the clay, improving its stability. When the clay needs to be placed, the lifting mechanism lowers the mounting block 5, which in turn lowers the clamping mechanism, causing the clay to move away from the surface of the cone 10. This prevents the clay from adhering to the cone 10. The clamping mechanism then releases the clay, allowing it to be placed. This design facilitates both holding and placing the clay, resulting in a simple and easy-to-use structure.

[0022] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that provides control.

[0023] In use: When using this gunning clay clamp, it is connected to the robotic arm via flange 14 and bolts 15. The overall position can be adjusted via the robotic arm. By inserting the conical spike 10 into the inner wall of the gunning clay, the gunning clay can be fixed. At the same time, the second motor 6 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 7 to rotate. The bidirectional threaded rod 7 drives the two sets of moving plates 8 to move in opposite directions. The moving plates 8 drive the two sets of clamping plates 9 to move in opposite directions, which further clamps the gunning clay, making the gunning clay more stable. When it is necessary to place the gunning clay, the first motor 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate. The lead screw 4 drives the mounting block 5 to descend. The mounting block 5 drives the two sets of clamping plates 9 to descend. The clamping plates 9 drive the gunning clay to descend, so that the gunning clay leaves the surface of the conical spike 10, preventing the gunning clay from adhering to the surface of the conical spike 10. The second motor 6 drives the two sets of clamping plates 9 to move in opposite directions, which releases the gunning clay, allowing it to be placed. This achieves the purpose of facilitating the clamping and placement of the gunning clay. The structure is simple and easy to use.
