Ein Vermessen des Mauerwerkes wird vielfach noch vom geschulten Auge eines Bedienungsmannes vorgenommen, wonach gezielt eine Feuerfestmasse durch Arbeitsmittel, insbesondere Spritzdüsen, auf Verschleißbereiche der Ofenwand aufgebracht werden kann.A measurement of the masonry is often made by the trained eye of an operator, after which a specific refractory material by means of work, in particular spray nozzles, can be applied to wear areas of the furnace wall.

Es ist beispielsweise aus der DE 363 90 83 A1 bekannt, einen Roboter für das Ausbessern der Auskleidung von Schmelzöfen durch Aufbringen von Auskleidungsmaterial unter Hitzeeinwirkung des Schmelzofens einzusetzen.It is for example from the DE 363 90 83 A1 known to use a robot for repairing the lining of furnaces by applying lining material under the influence of heat of the melting furnace.

Derartige Vorrichtungen können mit ihrer Tragkonstruktion im Ofenbereich fest verankert oder auf einem Wagen auf der Ofenbühne oder Arbeitsbühne verfahrbar ausgeführt sein ( GB 1 592 360 ), wobei ein bewegbarer Ausleger das Arbeitsmittel führt.Such devices can be firmly anchored with their support structure in the oven area or be carried on a carriage on the oven platform or platform movable ( GB 1 592 360 ), wherein a movable boom performs the work equipment.

Aus der UA 19 881 U ist beispielsweise eine auf der Ofenbühne verfahrbare Einrichtung für ein Einbringen eines Abstichlochverschlusses in ein Konvertergefäß mittels eines Teleskoparmes bekannt geworden.From the UA 19 881 U For example, a movable on the oven platform means for introducing a tap hole in a converter vessel by means of a telescopic arm has become known.

Die US 4 478 392 beschreibt ebenso ein Verschließmittel für das Abstichloch eines Konverters, wobei die Teleskopeinrichtung an der Hallenkonstruktion befestigt ist.The US 4,478,392 also describes a locking means for the tap hole of a converter, wherein the telescopic device is attached to the hall structure.

Arbeitstechnisch ist es von wesentlichem Vorteil, nach Möglichkeit eine freie Arbeitsbühne für das Bedienungspersonal bereitzustellen und die Trageeinrichtungen der jeweiligen Vorrichtungen für die speziellen mechanisierten Arbeiten im metallurgischen Gefäß möglichst peripher zu positionieren.Technically, it is of considerable advantage, if possible to provide a free platform for the operator and to position the support means of the respective devices for the specific mechanized work in the metallurgical vessel as peripherally as possible.

Auch bei höchstmöglicher Ausnutzung der gegebenen Platzverhältnisse im Arbeitsbühnenbereich und einer raumsparenden Bauweise sind mit einer Mehrzahl von Vorrichtungen für eine Durchführung von spezifischen Arbeiten unter Hitzeeinwirkung in einem metallurgischen Gefäß arbeitstechnische und wirtschaftliche Nachteile verbunden.Even with the highest possible utilization of the available space in the working platform area and a space-saving design are associated with a plurality of devices for carrying out specific work under heat in a metallurgical vessel operational and economic disadvantages.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe geben und setzt sich zum Ziel, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche bei geringem Platzbedarf in vielen Ausführungsformen der Trageeinrichtung eine Vielzahl von Arbeiten gesteuert in einem metallurgischen Gefäß ausführen kann.Here, the invention seeks to remedy the situation and aims to provide a device of the type mentioned above, which can run in a small footprint in many embodiments of the support means controlled a variety of work in a metallurgical vessel.

Dieses Ziel wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dadurch erreicht, dass das Arbeitsmittel am Ausleger bezogen auf dessen Längsachse gesteuert drehbar und/oder schwenkbar gehalten ist und am Arbeitsmittel eine Mehrzahl von aktivierbaren Funktionsmitteln positioniert und/oder positionierbar sind.This object is achieved in a generic device, characterized in that the working means on the boom based on the longitudinal axis controlled rotatably and / or pivotally held and the working means a plurality of activatable functional means are positioned and / or positionable.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im Wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass mit einer einzigen Trageeinrichtung eine Vielzahl an erforderlichen mechanisierten Funktionen in einem metallurgischen Gefäß durchführbar sind.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that a large number of required mechanized functions in a metallurgical vessel can be carried out with a single carrying device.

Der Wärmestrahlung wegen können Teile der Trageeinrichtung des Teleskoparmes und/oder des Arbeitsmittels abgeschirmt oder gekühlt, insbesondere mit Wasser oder Luft gekühlt sein.Due to the heat radiation, parts of the carrying device of the telescopic arm and / or of the working medium can be shielded or cooled, in particular cooled with water or air.

Wird beispielsweise im Ofen- oder Konverterbetrieb durch eine Messung, wobei die Messeinrichtung am Arbeitsmittel im Gefäß verfahren werden kann, festgestellt, dass an Stellen der Innenwand Vertiefungen durch Verschleiß gegeben sind, kann auf einfache Weise gemäß der Erfindung das Arbeitsmittel mit einer Spritzdüse für Feuerfestmaterial versehen und in den Gefäßinnenraum eingebracht werden, wonach gesteuert die Funktion eines Aufspritzens bzw. Ausbesserns der Wandung zielgerichtet durch Drehen oder Schwenken der Spritzdüse erfolgt. Nach einem darauffolgenden Chargieren des metallurgischen Gefäßes kann die metallurgische Arbeit in diesem mit erfindungsgemäß am Arbeitsmittel befestigbarem Funktionsmittel für Temperaturmessungen der Schmelze und/oder Schlacke für Probeaufnahmen und dgl. überprüft werden.If, for example, in oven or converter operation by a measurement, wherein the measuring device can be moved on the working fluid in the vessel, it is found that At locations of the inner wall recesses are given by wear, can easily be provided according to the invention, the working fluid with a spray nozzle for refractory material and introduced into the vessel interior, after which controlled the function of spraying or repairing the wall targeted by turning or pivoting the spray nozzle he follows. After a subsequent charging of the metallurgical vessel, the metallurgical work can be checked in this with functional means for measuring the temperature of the melt and / or slag for test recordings and the like, which can be attached to the working medium according to the invention.
