Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ladle transfer technology, specifically a real-time temperature measurement device for ladle transfer. Background Technology
[0002] The temperature of molten aluminum in the ladle is uncontrolled during the transfer process, and the temperature of the molten aluminum in the ladle drops rapidly. After being added to different holding furnaces, the temperature of the last part of the molten aluminum may decrease, which may not meet the temperature requirements for casting molten aluminum. Secondly, since different ladles have different lifespans and conditions, the temperature changes of different ladles during the transfer process are also different. Measuring the temperature change of a single ladle before and after transfer cannot represent all ladles. However, the real-time temperature measurement device for ladle transfer is set on the top of the mast in front of the transfer forklift, which can monitor the temperature of molten aluminum in the ladle in real time.
[0003] The temperature measuring device uses a colorimetric infrared thermometer to measure the temperature. The sides of the molten aluminum ladle are typically supported by side brackets from a forklift, while the top of the ladle has a transparent glass panel for the temperature measuring device to monitor its interior. This transparent glass is circular and located on one side of the top of the ladle. When the forklift supports the ladle from one side, the transparent glass is close to the forklift, allowing the temperature measuring device to detect the temperature of the molten aluminum through the glass. However, during transport, the ladle may be lifted from the side furthest from the transparent glass. In this case, the temperature measuring device cannot be aligned with the glass for temperature detection. The forklift must then lower the ladle and lift it from the other side to align the temperature measuring device with the glass. Because the real-time temperature measuring device cannot be adjusted for specific measurement positions, the forklift must readjust its lifting direction after lifting the ladle, significantly reducing the transport efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a real-time temperature measurement device for ladle transfer, so as to solve the problem in the background art that the real-time temperature measurement device for ladle transfer cannot adjust the specific temperature measurement position, which causes the transfer forklift to need to readjust the lifting direction after lifting the aluminum liquid ladle, greatly reducing the transfer efficiency of the aluminum liquid ladle.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a real-time temperature measurement device for ladle transfer, comprising a mounting plate, a guide block fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate, a movable plate slidably connected to the surface of the guide block, a multi-stage telescopic rod fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate, a colorimetric infrared thermometer fixedly mounted at the telescopic end of the multi-stage telescopic rod, a power supply fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting plate, and an adjustment mechanism provided on the surface of the mounting plate, the adjustment mechanism comprising a fixed block fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate, a first motor fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate, an adjusting screw fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor, and the adjusting screw rotatably connected to the fixed block. On the surface, a square nut is threaded onto the surface of the adjusting screw, and an adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the square nut. A first connecting block is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate, and the end of the first connecting block away from the square nut is rotatably connected to the surface of the first connecting block. A lifting mechanism is provided on the surface of the movable plate, and the lifting mechanism includes a support plate. The support plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate, and a second motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate. A winch is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor, and a steel wire rope is fixedly connected to the surface of the winch. The end of the steel wire rope away from the winch is fixedly connected to a second connecting block, and the second connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the colorimetric infrared thermometer.
[0006] Preferably, the mounting plate and the movable plate are perpendicular to each other, the movable plate slides horizontally on the surface of the mounting plate via a guide block, and the colorimetric infrared thermometer moves horizontally and linearly at one end of the movable plate via a multi-stage telescopic rod.
[0007] Preferably, the first motor drives the adjusting screw to rotate on the fixed block via the output shaft, and the adjusting screw drives the square nut to slide on the surface of the mounting plate during the rotation.
[0008] Preferably, during the movement of the square nut, one end of the adjusting rod moves synchronously, and the adjusting rod rotates on the square nut. During the rotation, the adjusting rod drives the movable plate to slide on the guide block through the first connecting block, and the end of the adjusting rod away from the square nut also rotates on the first connecting block.
[0009] Preferably, the second motor drives the winch to rotate on one side of the support plate via its output shaft, and the winch winds the wire rope around its surface by rotating.
[0010] Preferably, the winch supports the second connecting block via a steel wire rope, and the second connecting block supports the colorimetric infrared thermometer at the same horizontal level.
[0011] Preferably, during the rotation of the winch, the height of the second connecting block is changed in conjunction with the wire rope, and the second connecting block pulls the colorimetric infrared thermometer to move horizontally up and down at the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This temperature measuring device drives the adjusting screw to rotate via the output shaft of the first motor. During the rotation of the adjusting screw, the square nut slides on the surface of the mounting plate. As the square nut moves, one end of the adjusting rod moves synchronously, and the adjusting rod rotates on the square nut. During the rotation of the adjusting rod, the movable plate is driven to slide on the guide block via the first connecting block, and the end of the adjusting rod away from the square nut also rotates on the first connecting block. During the sliding of the movable plate, the colorimetric infrared thermometer is moved via the multi-stage telescopic rod, so that the colorimetric infrared thermometer is moved directly above the transparent glass on top of the aluminum molten ladle. This avoids the need for the transfer forklift to readjust the lifting direction after lifting the aluminum molten ladle, thus improving the transfer efficiency of the aluminum molten ladle.
[0014] 2. This temperature measuring device uses the output of the second motor to drive a winch to rotate on one side of the support plate. The winch rotates and winds the wire rope around its surface, thereby shortening the support height of the wire rope on the second connecting block. The wire rope raises the height of the colorimetric infrared thermometer through the second connecting block. Furthermore, the colorimetric infrared thermometer, in conjunction with the multi-stage telescopic rod, raises the instrument horizontally, ensuring a suitable distance between the instrument and the surface of the molten aluminum. This improves the adaptability of the instrument's detection capabilities. At the same time, raising the height of the instrument ensures that the molten aluminum ladle is not interfered with during the addition of substances. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0023] A real-time temperature measurement device for ladle transfer includes a mounting plate 1, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the front mast of a transfer forklift using bolts. A guide block 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 1, and a movable plate 12 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide block 11. A multi-stage telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 12, and a colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 is fixedly mounted at the telescopic end of the multi-stage telescopic rod 13. The lens surface of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 is coated with an anti-reflective film. A power supply 15 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting plate 1, providing power to the entire device. Power is supplied, and an adjustment mechanism is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 1. The adjustment mechanism includes a fixed block 2, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 1. A first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 1. An adjusting screw 22 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 21. The adjusting screw 22 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed block 2. A square nut 23 is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjusting screw 22. An adjusting rod 24 is rotatably connected to the surface of the square nut 23. A first connecting block 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 12. The first connecting block 25 is located away from the surface of the movable plate 12. One end of the square nut 23 is rotatably connected to the surface of the first connecting block 25. A lifting mechanism is provided on the surface of the movable plate 12. The lifting mechanism includes a support plate 3, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 12. A second motor 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 3. A winch 32 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 31. A wire rope 33 is fixedly connected to the surface of the winch 32. A second connecting block 34 is fixedly connected to the end of the wire rope 33 away from the winch 32. The second connecting block 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14, which is powered by it. Power supply 15 simultaneously powers the first motor 21 of the adjustment mechanism, the second motor 31 of the lifting mechanism, and the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 on the surface of the mounting plate 1. The colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 has a built-in signal transmission module that can transmit the detected temperature to the temperature display on the transfer forklift for real-time viewing by the transfer personnel. At the same time, the first motor 21 and the second motor 31 are operated through a remote control device, which is installed on the transfer forklift for unified handling by the transfer personnel. The remote control device is a handheld remote controller.
[0024] Furthermore, the mounting plate 1 and the movable plate 12 are perpendicular to each other. The movable plate 12 slides horizontally on the surface of the mounting plate 1 via the guide block 11. During the sliding process, the movable plate 12 drives the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 to slide via the multi-stage telescopic rod 13. As the transparent glass moves away from the transfer forklift, the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 can be pushed above the transparent glass for monitoring. The colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 moves horizontally and linearly at one end of the movable plate 12 via the multi-stage telescopic rod 13, ensuring that the aluminum liquid ladle is not interfered with during the addition of substances.
[0025] Furthermore, the first motor 21 drives the adjusting screw 22 to rotate on the fixed block 2 via the output shaft. During the rotation, the adjusting screw 22 drives the square nut 23 to slide on the surface of the mounting plate 1. After the adjusting screw 22 stops rotating, it locks the position of the square nut 23 on the surface of the mounting plate 1.
[0026] Furthermore, during the movement of the square nut 23, one end of the adjusting rod 24 moves synchronously, and the adjusting rod 24 rotates on the square nut 23. During the rotation of the adjusting rod 24, the movable plate 12 is driven to slide on the guide block 11 through the first connecting block 25, and the end of the adjusting rod 24 away from the square nut 23 also rotates on the first connecting block 25, thereby realizing the adjustment of the sliding of the movable plate 12 on the guide block 11. Through the sliding of the movable plate 12 on the guide block 11, the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 can be aligned with the transparent glass on the top of the aluminum liquid ladle.
[0027] Furthermore, the second motor 31 drives the winch 32 to rotate on one side of the support plate 3 via the output shaft. The winch 32 rotates and winds the wire rope 33 around its surface. By winding the wire rope 33, the support length of the wire rope 33 on the adjusting rod 24 is changed, thereby increasing the height of the second connecting block 34. When the second connecting block 34 is released, the support length of the wire rope 33 increases, and the height of the second connecting block 34 decreases.
[0028] Furthermore, the winch 32 supports the second connecting block 34 via the wire rope 33. The second connecting block 34 supports the horizontal height of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14. In conjunction with the telescopic end of the multi-stage telescopic rod 13, the support position of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 can always be kept on the same vertical straight line.
[0029] Furthermore, during the rotation of the winch 32, the height of the second connecting block 34 is changed in conjunction with the wire rope 33. The second connecting block 34 pulls the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 horizontally up and down at the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic rod 13, thereby increasing the horizontal height of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14. By changing the horizontal height of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14, the distance between the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 and the surface of the molten aluminum is ensured to be appropriate, improving the adaptability of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 in detection. At the same time, raising the height of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 ensures that the molten aluminum ladle will not be interfered with during the addition of substances.
[0030] Working principle: When the transparent glass on the aluminum ladle moves away from the transfer forklift, the output shaft of the first motor 21 drives the adjusting screw 22 to rotate. During the rotation of the adjusting screw 22, the square nut 23 slides on the surface of the mounting plate 1. During the movement of the square nut 23, one end of the adjusting rod 24 moves synchronously, and the adjusting rod 24 rotates on the square nut 23. During the rotation of the adjusting rod 24, the movable plate 12 is driven to slide on the guide block 11 through the first connecting block 25, and the end of the adjusting rod 24 away from the square nut 23 also rotates on the first connecting block 25. During the sliding of the movable plate 12, the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 is moved through the multi-stage telescopic rod 13, so that the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 is moved directly above the transparent glass on the top of the aluminum ladle. This avoids the need for the transfer forklift to readjust the lifting direction after lifting the aluminum ladle, thus improving the transfer efficiency of the aluminum ladle.
[0031] The output of the second motor 31 drives the winch 32 to rotate on one side of the support plate 3. The winch 32 rotates and winds the wire rope 33 around its surface, thereby shortening the support height of the wire rope 33 on the second connecting block 34. The wire rope 33 raises the height of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 through the second connecting block 34. The colorimetric infrared thermometer 14, together with the multi-stage telescopic rod 13, raises the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 horizontally, ensuring that the distance between the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 and the surface of the molten aluminum is appropriate, improving the adaptability of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 detection. At the same time, raising the height of the colorimetric infrared thermometer 14 ensures that the molten aluminum ladle will not be interfered with during the addition of substances.
