[0027] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows: In the rod sampling process, the worker does not need to hold an oxygen-acetylene gas cutting gun by hand above the cooling bed to cut and separate the rod, thereby reducing the strenuous work on the worker during rod cutting and ensuring the worker's safety during the work.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the sample preparation apparatus 4 includes a base 401, a shear hydraulic cylinder 402, a shear cutter 403, an elastic guide assembly 404, and a material support assembly 405.

[0043] As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the storage device 9 includes a storage holder 901, a storage bucket 902, and a storage groove 903, wherein the storage bucket 902 is positioned at an angle above the storage holder 901, and several storage grooves 903 are provided within the storage bucket 902. The storage holder 901 is used to connect to the mounting base 1, the storage bucket 902 is used to store the rod material, and the storage grooves 903 are used to place the rod material.

[0044] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows: the device has a simple structure, a simple logic for storing the rods, and facilitates mechanized operation.

[0045] As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the storage device 9 further includes long-reach bottom wheels 904, short-reach bottom wheels 905, a movable bottom plate 906, a guide groove 907, a position limiting plate 908, and an insertion plate 909. The long-reach bottom wheels 904 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the storage holder 901 near the opening of the storage groove 903, the short-reach bottom wheels 905 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the storage holder 901 away from the opening of the storage groove 903, the movable bottom plate 906 is provided with a guide groove 907 that engages with the long-reach bottom wheels 904, the movable bottom plate 906 is provided with a position limiting plate 908 near the opening of the storage groove 903, and the storage holder 901 is provided with insertion plates 909 that engage with the guide groove 907 on both sides.

[0046] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows: Long-reach bottom wheels 904 and short-reach bottom wheels 905 are added below the storage device 9, enabling the storage holder 901 to move and facilitating the transport of rod materials.

[0047] Example 1 Before use, the movable transport device 2 should be attached to the middle of the mounting base 1, the pickup / flame cutting device 3 should be attached to the front of the movable transport device 2, and the sample preparation device 4 and weighing device 5 should be attached around the movable transport device 2 at positions where the movable transport device 2 can make contact with them.

[0048] During use, the movable transport device 2 uses the pickup mechanism 305 of the pickup / flame cutting device 3 at its tip to clamp the rod material located on the cooling bed, and then uses the cutting torch 304 to perform a preliminary cut on the rod material. After the cutting is complete, the preliminary cut rod material is transported to the sample preparation device 4, which prepares the preliminary cut rod material into inspection rod material of a predetermined length. Subsequently, the transport device 2 uses the pickup / flame cutting device 3 to place the inspection rod material on the shelf 505 of the weighing device 5 and performs a weighing inspection. After the weighing is complete, the weighing controller 503 of the weighing device 5 records the weighing data and uploads it to the backend. Finally, the movable transport device 2 uses the pickup mechanism 305 of the pickup / flame cutting device 3 to transport the inspected inspection rod material to the designated position and store it.

[0049] Example 2 The pickup and flame cutting device 3 picks up multiple rods at once and cuts them all at once, causing the ends of the cut rods to become hot and prone to sticking together. In this case, the high temperature of the rod ends reduces the effectiveness of sample preparation if the samples are directly placed in the sample preparation device 4. Furthermore, since the sample preparation device 4 can only prepare samples from one rod at a time, it is necessary to separate the rods further. Therefore, based on the above embodiment, the present invention provides a second technical solution.

[0050] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is as follows: after the pickup / flame cutting device 3 cuts the rod material, the rod material is sent to the sorting device for processing, and then sent to the sample preparation device 4 for sample preparation.

[0051] The work steps in the sorting device are as follows: After the pickup and flame cutting device 3 cuts the rod material, the movable transport device 2 sends the partially cut rod material into the groove of the distribution guide plate 602 in the distribution assembly 6. In this case, the partially cut rod material slides downward along the distribution guide plate 602 into the groove of the spring hinge baffle 603 due to the action of gravity, and finally collides with the support frame 601. Due to the action of the collision force, any rod material that may be bonded is dispersed. The movable transport device 2 then uses the pickup mechanism 305 of the pickup and flame cutting device 3 to pull the rod material out of the groove of the spring hinge baffle 603. During the pulling process, the spring hinge of the spring hinge baffle 603 opens outwards. Subsequently, the movable transport device 2 sends the rod material to the cooling assembly 7 for cooling and de-temperatureing. After the cooling is complete, the movable transport device 2 uses the pickup mechanism 305 of the pickup / flame cutting device 3 to feed the rods in the cooling assembly 7 into the V-shaped grooves of the V-shaped vertical plate 802 of the distribution assembly 8. The drive cylinder 803 then drives the push rod 804 upward, using the gap between the V-shaped vertical plate 802 and the push plate 805 to push out one pre-cut rod. The movable transport device 2 then uses the pickup mechanism 305 of the pickup / flame cutting device 3 to feed this rod to the sample preparation device 4. Finally, all the rods in the V-shaped grooves of the V-shaped vertical plate 802 are pushed out one by one, completing the above operation.

[0052] Example 3 Since the inspection rod material needs to be temporarily stored after weighing, and therefore, based on the above embodiment, this disclosure provides a third technical solution.

[0053] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is as follows: after the weighing device 5 completes the weighing inspection of the inspection rod, the movable transport device 2 uses the pickup mechanism 305 of the pickup / flame cutting device 3 to place the rod into the storage groove 903 of the storage bucket 902 in the storage device 9. After the storage groove 903 is filled, the storage device 9 is transported using the long-reach bottom wheels 904 and the short-reach bottom wheels 905 to reduce the transport pressure on the rod after the inspection is complete.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention.
