Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a system for the maintenance of a sliding closure arranged on the spout of a molten metal container, in particular a steel ladle, which has a pan stand with at least one ladle tilting chair and at least one industrial robot assigned thereto and arranged in the heat range, wherein the industrial robot is arranged and constructed in such a way that the sliding closure can be reached by this, removed from the molten metal container and can be deposited in the region of the ladle level.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a solution that makes it possible to move the inspection activity for reviewing the sliding closure of the hot area of the pan stand out.
  • this object is achieved in that a workshop area is located on the cup level outside the heat range of the pan stand and assigned in the pan and the work area of the robot associated with a conveyor track is arranged with the heat range of the pan state and the workshop area is in functional operative connection and leads to the workshop area, wherein the sliding closure of the industrial robot on the conveyor track can be stored.
  • the pan level associated workshop area Due to the inventive design of the pan level associated workshop area, but is located outside the heat range of the pan level and with this on a conveyor track, in particular a roller conveyor, in functional (active) connection, it is possible all in connection with the change of the sliding closure , ie the change of a tapping slide of a steel ladle, standing, manually performed maintenance and / or inspection activities from the To move the hot area of the ladle level into the valve workshop.
  • the slide closure or sealing slide or slide valve can first cool there before it then approaches operating or maintenance personnel for maintenance or inspection purposes and work.
  • the operating or maintenance personnel can carry out the necessary activities on the cooled sliding closure in the workshop area equipped with conventional lifting devices and other equipment.
  • Working in the heat or under direct heat is no longer necessary. This also significantly reduces the accident severity of manual activities.
  • an industrial robot in the immediate hot area and let perform activities there.
  • the industrial robot can remove the sliding closure from the bottom of the molten metal container, in particular the steel ladle, without having to provide manual operation or manual assistance by operating personnel.
  • the industrial robot can also carry out all other activities to be performed on the bottom of the pan, such as burn-out of the pouring channel, or removal of the pouring sleeve or the like.
  • the invention provides that the conveyor track is arranged centrally between eleven Pfannenklppstühlen the pan stand.
  • the invention provides in an embodiment of the system further, that the industrial robot arranged movably on the pan stand is. Finally, the invention is also distinguished by the fact that the industrial robot can be moved on a linear unit along the socket position into various work stations.
  • the plant generally designated 1, comprises a ladle stand 2 with two ladle tilting chairs 3, into which steel ladles 4 are inserted and then pivoted or tilted into the horizontal position shown in the figures.
  • An industrial robot 6 equipped with a special tool 5 removes the slide closure 7 attached to the respective pan base 4a, a so-called pan slide in the steel ladle, from the respective steel ladle 4 and carries or conveys it to a work area of the industrial robot 6 and thus the pan stand 2 Conveyor track 8, which is formed in the embodiment as a roller table.
  • the conveyor track 8 leads to a workshop area 9 assigned to the socket stand 2 and / or arranged thereon, a so-called slider workshop.
  • the sliding closure 7 can cool down before it is then handled and / or processed by the operating or maintenance personnel in the workshop area 9 with the aid of workshop customary tools and / or lifting devices 10.
  • the sliding shutter 7 is opened by the staff and inspected and checked the state of the closure plates 11 or the slide gate plates, as well as the sliding closure 7 and this in application and actuation case moving sliding unit or the sliding device to be maintained.
  • the pan stand 2 is arranged between supporting rows of a steel structure 12 arranged on both sides and comprises two pan tilting chairs 3.
  • the industrial robot 6 is arranged on a linear axis or linear unit 13 along which it can be moved in different working positions 14a, 14b, 14c, wherein it preferably automatically carries out and / or execute work tasks assigned to it at each of the working positions.
  • the mounted on the bottom of the pan sliding closure 7 is securely fixed there, for example by means of a type of a bayonet closure such that the complete pan slide assembly is securely held.
  • the slide assembly can be released from the sliding closure 7 and inserted into it. This activity can be performed by the industrial robot 6. But it is also possible to set the slide closure 7 or the slide valve for attachment to one or more centering pins and to fix there.
