Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of temperature measurement and sampling devices, and more specifically, it relates to an automatic temperature measurement and sampling device for use in ferroalloy furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] In the metallurgical industry, the temperature and composition of molten metal need to be detected during the metal smelting process. In recent years, domestic and foreign companies and research institutions have developed intelligent temperature measurement and sampling robot systems to automate the temperature measurement and sampling of molten metal.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: most current temperature sampling robot systems are too expensive, have poor market adaptability, and occupy a large area. At the same time, the sampled samples are not laser-coded, making it inconvenient for traceability and management.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided an automatic temperature measurement and sampling device for ferroalloy furnaces, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model, an automatic temperature measurement and sampling device for ferroalloy furnaces, are achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0006] An automatic temperature measurement and sampling device for ferroalloy furnaces includes a rotating hopper body. A set of support rods is installed on the top of one side of the rotating hopper body. A mounting base is installed on the top of the support rods. A sliding groove is opened on the top of the mounting base. A moving component is installed inside the sliding groove. A first cylinder is connected to the top of the moving component. A second cylinder is connected to the output end of the first cylinder. A gripping arm is connected to the output end of the second cylinder. A laser marking device is installed on one side of one of the support rods.
[0007] Furthermore, the moving component includes a threaded rod installed inside the slide groove, a slider threadedly mounted on the threaded rod, a support plate connected to the top of the slider, and the first cylinder mounted on the top of the support plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a motor is mounted on one side of the mounting base, and the output shaft of the motor passes through the mounting base and is connected to the threaded rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a through slot is provided on one side of the rotating hopper body, and a cooling fan is installed inside the through slot via a bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, a mounting frame is provided on one side of the rotating hopper body, and a filter screen is installed inside the mounting frame.
[0011] Furthermore, fixing bolts are installed at the four corners of the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is installed on one side of the rotating hopper body by fixing bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, a control panel is installed on one side of the support rod, and the control panel is electrically connected to each electrical appliance.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. By using a laser marking device, after temperature measurement and sampling are completed, the temperature sampler is moved to the side of the laser marking device to mark the sampled sample with laser, which facilitates traceability and management.
[0015] 2. By using the rotating hopper body, motor, threaded rod, first cylinder, second cylinder, and gripping arm in coordination, the temperature sampler is placed on the turntable position of the rotating hopper body. Then, the gripping arm picks up the temperature sampler, the motor is started, the motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, and the threaded rod drives the slider to move. After moving to the appropriate position, the first cylinder and the second cylinder are started, so that the temperature sampler is inserted into the ferroalloy furnace for temperature measurement and sampling. This can achieve automatic and accurate positioning, reduce manual operation, and improve sampling efficiency.
[0016] 3. By using the cooling fan, the heat accumulated inside the device is dissipated, preventing overheating and component failure, ensuring normal operation, and extending the device's lifespan. The filter effectively removes external dust and impurities, preventing them from entering the device and causing malfunctions, thus improving the stability of the device during operation. When the filter needs cleaning or replacement, the fixing bolts can be removed to facilitate removal and cleaning, avoiding the problem of the filter being clogged by a large amount of dust and impurities.

[0025] Example:
[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown:
[0027] This utility model provides an automatic temperature measurement and sampling device for ferroalloy furnaces, including a rotating hopper body 1. A set of support rods 2 are installed on the top of one side of the rotating hopper body 1. A mounting base 3 is installed on the top of the support rods 2. A sliding groove 4 is opened on the top of the mounting base 3. A moving component is installed inside the sliding groove 4. A first cylinder 5 is connected to the top of the moving component. A second cylinder 6 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 5. A gripping arm 7 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 6. A laser marking device 8 is installed on one side of one of the support rods 2. After temperature measurement and sampling are completed, the temperature measurement sampler is moved to the side of the laser marking device 8 to laser mark the sample, which facilitates traceability and management.
[0028] The moving component includes a threaded rod 13 installed inside the slide 4. A slider 14 is threaded onto the threaded rod 13, and a support plate 15 is connected to the top of the slider 14. A first cylinder 5 is installed on the top of the support plate 15. Through the coordinated use of the rotating hopper body 1, motor 12, threaded rod 13, first cylinder 5, second cylinder 6, and gripping arm 7, the temperature sampler is placed on the turntable position of the rotating hopper body 1. Then, the gripping arm 7 picks up the temperature sampler, and the motor 12 is started. The motor 12 drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, and the threaded rod 13 drives the slider 14 to move. After moving to the appropriate position, the first cylinder 5 and the second cylinder 6 are started, so that the temperature sampler is inserted into the ferroalloy furnace for temperature measurement and sampling. This enables automatic and accurate positioning, reduces manual operation, and improves sampling efficiency.
[0029] The mounting base 3 has a motor 12 mounted on one side, and the output shaft of the motor 12 passes through the mounting base 3 and is connected to the threaded rod 13.
[0030] The rotating hopper body 1 has a through groove 16 on one side. A cooling fan 17 is installed inside the through groove 16 by means of a bracket. By using the cooling fan 17, the heat accumulated inside the device is discharged, which prevents the device from overheating and causing component failure, ensures the normal operation of the device, and extends the service life of the device.
[0031] The rotating hopper body 1 has a mounting frame 10 on one side, and a filter screen 11 is installed inside the mounting frame 10.
[0032] The mounting frame 10 is equipped with fixing bolts 18 at each of its four corners. The mounting frame 10 is mounted to one side of the rotating hopper body 1 by the fixing bolts 18. With the cooperation of the filter screen 11 and the fixing bolts 18, the filter screen 11 can effectively filter out external dust and impurities, prevent dust and impurities from entering the device and causing equipment failure, and improve the stability of the device during operation. When the filter screen 11 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the fixing bolts 18 can be removed, making it easy to remove the filter screen 11 for cleaning and replacement, thus avoiding the problem of the filter screen 11 being blocked by a large amount of dust and impurities.
[0033] The support rod 2 has a control panel 9 installed on one side, and the control panel 9 is electrically connected to each electrical appliance.
[0034] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

When temperature sampling is required, place the temperature sampler on the turntable position of the rotating hopper body 1. Then, use the gripping arm 7 to pick up the temperature sampler. Start the motor 12, which drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate. The threaded rod 13 then moves the slider 14. After moving to the appropriate position, start the first cylinder 5 and the second cylinder 6 to insert the temperature sampler into the ferroalloy furnace for temperature sampling. This achieves automatic and precise positioning, reduces manual operation, and improves sampling efficiency. After temperature sampling is completed, move the temperature sampler to the laser marking device 8 for sampling. The samples are laser-coded for easy traceability and management. After prolonged use, the cooling fan 17 can be turned on to dissipate the heat accumulated inside the device, preventing overheating and component failure, ensuring normal operation, and extending the device's lifespan. The filter 11 effectively filters out external dust and impurities, preventing them from entering the device and causing malfunctions, thus improving the stability of the device during operation. When the filter 11 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the fixing bolts 18 can be removed to facilitate its removal and cleaning, avoiding the problem of the filter 11 being clogged by a large amount of dust and impurities.
