PURPOSE:To mount and demount a probe automatically by providing a mechanism which moves the probe from a rest base to a tip by a probe pressing-in mechanism and mounts a sublance at a lower end, and further demounts a used probe from the sublance. CONSTITUTION:Plural probes 1 are placed on the rest base 2 and thepressing-in machine 3 is moved to the tip part of the device by a sliding mechanism 8. Then, a sublance insertion guide 5 is put in operation to insert a probe 1 into the tip of the sublance 4. Then, the sublance 4 is elevated and rotated, and the probe 1 is lowered into a converter, etc., to sample molten steel and measure its temperature.The sublance 14 is elevated and the probe is moved from the temperature measurement position to a mounting/demounting position. The probe 1 is demounted from the sublance 4 by a probe clamping mechanism 6 and recovered. Thus, the probe is mounted and demounted automatically, and the facilities are compact and applicable to existent facilities. |
