Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical accessories technology, specifically to an iron sampler. Background Technology
[0002] In steelmaking, vacuum refining plays a crucial role in improving steel product quality, expanding product variety, reducing costs, and optimizing steelmaking processes. Directly sampling and measuring the temperature of the smelting metal is an important means of understanding the metallurgical process and the quality of the molten iron.
[0003] Existing molten iron samplers typically consist of an outer paper tube, a sampling bottle, and a sampling holder. The sampling bottle is composed of two half-bottles that are joined together. During installation, the heads of the two joined half-bottles are inserted into the inlet of the sampling holder. Then, a large amount of cement is used to seal the joint between the two half-bottles. Next, the sampling holder is inserted into the outer paper tube, aligning its inlet with the inlet of the outer paper tube. Finally, a large amount of cement is applied to the end of the outer paper tube facing the sampling bottle to seal it. This structure requires a large amount of cement for connection, and using large quantities of cement... The drying speed of cement will be slower, affecting efficiency. Moreover, the cement must be applied evenly and in the right amount, which is difficult to control. Too little or uneven application will lead to unstable connection or even loosening. Applying too much may prevent the outer paper tube from being inserted, which is very troublesome. Furthermore, the outer paper tube and the sampling seat cannot be set too tightly. Otherwise, if too much force is applied during the insertion of the sampling seat into the outer paper tube, the sampling bottle may become loose or even fall off. During the loosening process, the cement may also crack, and molten iron will flow out from the cracks in the cement, preventing it from fully entering the sampling bottle. Utility Model Content
[0004] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a molten iron sampler that is easy to install and has a more stable structure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a molten iron sampler, comprising an outer paper tube, a sampling bottle, and a sampling base. The outer paper tube is provided with a sampling port, and the sampling base is provided with a sampling inlet and a socket. The socket communicates with the sampling inlet. The mouth of the sampling bottle is adapted to the socket. The sampler also includes a top cover. The top cover is provided with a connecting platform adapted to the inner wall of the outer paper tube. The sampling base is provided with clamping walls on both sides of the end with the socket, and the position between the two clamping walls is adapted to the sampling bottle.
[0006] With this setup, during installation, the two half-bottles are first glued together to form a sampling bottle. Then, cement is applied to both sides of the bottle or the inner surfaces of the two clamping walls. After that, the bottle mouth is inserted into the sampling base's socket. Once the cement has hardened, the sampling bottle will be fixed to the sampling base. Unlike the original design, this application's structure only requires applying cement to the gap between the sampling bottle and the clamping walls. It uses less cement, dries quickly, and has two clamping walls plus a socket for double positioning. Not much cement is needed, nor does it need to be evenly distributed, to complete the fixation. Once fixed, it is stable and will not loosen. Even if the sampling base and the outer paper tube are forced together during installation due to an interference fit, the sampling bottle will not loosen. The structure is stable, and after insertion, the connecting platform of the top cover is inserted into the outer paper tube, and then cement is applied to the interface. There is no need to use a large amount of cement to seal the opening, making installation convenient. During use, an aluminum sheet can be placed at the sampling port of the outer paper tube as a deoxidizer.
[0007] Furthermore, the sampling holder includes a connecting block and a sampling block, with the socket located on the connecting block and the sampling inlet located on the sampling block.
[0008] With this setup, after inserting the inlet into the sampling bottle, cement can be applied to the gap between the bottle mouth and the inlet on the other side of the inlet to prevent molten steel from flowing into the gap during sampling. Then, the sampling block is placed on top and cement is applied to connect the two. The separate setup makes it easier to apply cement around the bottle mouth.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes an extension tube, which is adapted to the inner wall of the mouth of the sampling bottle.
[0010] With this design, the extension tube can be lengthened to extend the mouth of the sampling bottle, making it easier to extend it outside the inlet and facilitate the application of cement.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sampling bottle opening is provided with a connecting groove that is adapted to the extension tube.
[0012] With this setup, the extension tube will be inserted into the connecting slot without being over-inserted, resulting in greater stability.
[0013] Furthermore, the sampling block has an installation groove at one end facing the connecting block, the sampling inlet is connected to the installation groove, and the connecting block has a connecting ring platform adapted to the installation groove at one end facing the sampling block.
[0014] With this setup, the connecting ring platform will be inserted into the connecting slot, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the two, making the connection between the sampling block and the connecting block more stable.
[0015] Furthermore, the sampling holder has a connecting groove at one end with an insertion port that is compatible with the sampling bottle.
[0016] With this setup, the sampling bottle will fit snugly into the connecting groove, resulting in a tighter and more stable connection.
[0017] Furthermore, the clamping wall has several supporting ribs on the side facing the insertion port.
[0018] This design allows the support ribs to reduce the contact area between the sampling bottle and the bottle while making insertion easier. It also increases the distance between the clamping wall and the sampling bottle, making it easier to add sufficient cement and enhance connection stability.
[0019] Furthermore, the cross-section of the support rib is arc-shaped, and the side of the support rib facing away from the insertion port is rounded.
[0020] This design makes the curved shape easier to insert and the insertion process smoother.
[0021] Furthermore, the top cover has an installation groove at the end facing the sampling bottle.
[0022] This design allows the mounting groove to fit the sampling bottle more closely, resulting in a more secure connection. Attached Figure Description

[0030] With this setup, during installation, the two half-bottles are first glued together to form a sampling bottle 2. Then, cement is applied to both sides of the bottle or the inner surfaces of the two clamping walls 303. The bottle opening is then inserted into the slot 302 of the sampling base 3. After the cement hardens, the sampling bottle 2 is fixed to the sampling base 3. Unlike the original design, this structure only requires applying cement to the gap between the sampling bottle 2 and the clamping wall 303. It uses less cement, dries quickly, and utilizes two clamping walls 303 plus the slot 302. 02 Dual positioning: Cement is not required in large quantities or evenly applied to achieve fixation, and the fixation is stable and will not loosen. Even if the sampling seat 3 and the outer paper tube 1 are forced together during the interference fit installation, the sampling bottle 2 will not loosen. The structure is stable. After insertion, the connecting platform 401 of the top cover 4 is inserted into the outer paper tube 1, and then cement is applied to the interface. There is no need to use a large amount of cement to seal the opening, making installation convenient. When in use, an aluminum sheet can be set at the sampling port 101 of the outer paper tube 1 as a deoxidizer for deoxidation.

[0032] With this setup, after inserting the inlet 302 into the mouth of the sampling bottle 2, cement can be applied to the gap between the bottle mouth and the inlet 302 on the other side of the inlet 302 to prevent molten steel from flowing into the gap during sampling. Then, the sampling block 305 is covered and cement is applied to connect the two. After the separate setup, it is easier to apply cement to the edge of the bottle mouth.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the sample bottle 2 is further provided with an extension tube 5, which is adapted to the inner wall of the bottle opening.
[0034] With this configuration, the extension tube 5 can lengthen the mouth of the sampling bottle 2, making it easier to extend it beyond the insertion port 302 and facilitate the application of cement.

[0039] In this preferred embodiment, the sampling base 3 has a connecting groove 306 at one end with an insertion port 302 that is compatible with the sampling bottle 2.

[0041] In this preferred embodiment, the clamping wall 303 is provided with a plurality of supporting ribs 3031 on the side facing the insertion port 302.
[0042] With this configuration, the support rib 3031 can reduce the contact area between the two while contacting the sampling bottle 2, making it easier to insert. It also increases the distance between the clamping wall 303 and the sampling bottle 2, making it easier to add sufficient cement and enhance the connection stability.
[0043] In this preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the support rib 3031 is arc-shaped, and the side of the support rib 3031 facing away from the insertion port 302 is rounded.
[0044] This design makes the curved shape easier to insert and the insertion process smoother.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the top cover 4 has an installation groove 402 at the end facing the sampling bottle 2.
[0046] With this design, the mounting groove 402 can fit the sampling bottle 2 more closely, resulting in a more secure connection.
