[0025] Example 1

[0026] See also Figure 1The embodiment of the utility model provides a crystallizer heating device, including a heater 20; the crystallizer 10 includes a crystallizer 11, and a cavity is provided between the crystallizer 11 and the inner wall of the crystallizer 10; the heater 20 is connected to the cavity between the crystallizer 11 and the inner wall of the crystallizer 10 through a heating pipe 21; the heater 20 generates a large amount of steam after the external condensed water 263 contacts the internal heated part, and then transports the steam to the outside of the crystallizer 10 of the crystallizer, and wraps the crystallizer 11 to heat it. The molten steel will be cooled in the crystallizer 11 of the crystallizer 10, and protective slag will be formed on the outer surface 23 of the molten steel during cooling. However, the cooling speed cannot be too fast, otherwise it will adhere to the inner wall of the crystallizer 11, and leakage will occur when the molten steel flows out after adhesion. The heat preservation and thermal insulation are increased by the heater 20. The protective slag can cover the surface of the molten steel to form a layer of liquid slag, which can effectively isolate the contact between the molten steel and the air to prevent the secondary oxidation of the molten steel. At the same time, the heat-insulating and heat-preserving properties of the protective slag reduce the heat loss of the molten steel, which helps to maintain the temperature of the crystallizer 10, thereby reducing the formation of bridges and crusts. The effective formation of protective slag can form a slag film between the wall of the crystallizer 10 and the billet shell. This slag film has a lubricating effect, which can reduce the resistance to billet drawing and prevent adhesion between the billet shell and the copper plate. The protective slag can also absorb and dissolve non-metallic inclusions that float from the molten steel to the slag interface, thereby purifying the molten steel. The protective slag fills the air gap between the billet shell and the crystallizer 10, improves the heat transfer effect of the crystallizer 10, and makes the billet shell grow more uniformly. It is very necessary to form protective slag in the crystallization tank 11, and the design factors of the heater 20 are considered to ensure the smooth progress of the crystallization process and improve the quality of the ingot.

[0027] See also Figure 3The heater 20 is provided with an insulating cavity 24 between the inner surface 22 and the outer surface 23. The insulating cavity 24 is used to prevent the heat in the heater 20 from being lost through heat conduction between the shell and the heater 20, and also to prevent accidents caused by excessive internal pressure of the heater 20 after the shell is heated. The cavity inside the inner wall of the heater 20 is a heating cavity 25. A plurality of heating pipes 251 are arranged in the heating cavity 25.

The two ends of the interior of the heater 20 are respectively provided with a steam outlet 27 and a protective cavity 26. The protective cavity 26 is used to protect the heating pipe 251 and the condensed water 263 from generating excessive steam, which causes the internal pressure of the heater 20 to increase. It can also protect the power cord of the heating pipe 251 from continuous power supply and normal operation, and is not easy to be damaged. The protection chamber 26 is provided with a condensation port 261; a connecting pipe 262 is provided in the protection chamber 26; the connecting pipe 262 connects the heating chamber 25 of the heater 20 with the protection chamber 26; the plurality of heating tubes 251 pass through the connecting pipe 262 and enter the protection chamber 26; each of the connecting pipes 262 is provided with only one heating tube 251; condensed water 263 is introduced into or led out of the protection chamber 26 through the condensation port 261. The condensed water 263 in the protection chamber 26 is used to release the condensed water 263 in the heating chamber 25 in an emergency, reduce the temperature of the heating tube 251, and avoid the condensed water 263 from continuously contacting the heating tube 251, causing the pressure inside the condensed water 263 to be too high. The temperature of the protection chamber 26 can be suppressed below the required temperature, thereby ensuring that the insulated wire of the power supply is not damaged by high temperature, and at the same time significantly reducing heat loss, with obvious energy-saving effect, simple structure, and low manufacturing cost.

[0028] See also Figure 3 The heating tube 251 is an electric heating tube; the power line of the electric heating tube is electrically connected to the heating tube through the protection cavity 26.

The connecting tube 262 is used to isolate the temperature of the heating tube 251 so that the temperature inside the protection cavity 26 is normal and will not be heated to generate a large amount of steam, causing the internal temperature to rise. The power line of the heating tube 251 can be protected from damage by the constant internal temperature.

[0029] Preferably, the protection chamber 26 is arranged at the bottom of the heater 20; the heating chamber 25 is arranged above the protection chamber 26; at least one group of protection plates 29 is arranged at the connection between the protection chamber 26 and the heating chamber 25; a group of the protection plates 29 is arranged at intervals on the connecting pipe 262; the protection plates 29 are used to fix the connecting pipe 262 and divide the protection chamber 26 into a plurality of chambers, and the condensed water 263 protects the power line of the heating tube 251 through the plurality of chambers. The heating chamber 25 is provided with fixed plates 30 at uniform intervals, and the fixed plates 30 are staggered on the inner wall of the heating chamber 25; a plurality of the heating tubes 251 are reciprocated and their positions are limited by the fixed plates 30. If the heating tubes 251 are in contact with each other, dry burning will occur between the two, which will damage the heating tubes 251. The fixed plates 30 are used to fix the plurality of heating tubes 251 at intervals, so that they cannot contact with other heating tubes 251, and the heating work is maintained normally.

[0030] Preferably, the outer surface 23 of the heating chamber 25 of the heater 20 is provided with a steam outlet flange 31 that penetrates the interior of the heating chamber 25; the heater 20 is connected to the external steam component and connected to the heating chamber 25 through the steam outlet flange 31. The steam outlet flange 31 can be used to add steam to the interior of the heater 20, or to discharge steam, to help the interior of the heater 20 maintain a stable pressure state and work safely. A steam outlet flange 32 is provided at the top of the heating chamber 25; the heater 20 is connected to the steam outlet flange 32 through the heating pipe 21 to transport steam to the cavity between the crystallizer 11 and the inner wall of the crystallizer 10, and wrap the crystallizer 11.

The hanging fasteners 40 are used to install and fix the heater 20.

[0031] Furthermore, there is a cavity between the heating tubes 251, and the cavity is used for the condensed water 263 to circulate and generate steam, so that the steam also floats up and is output in the cavity; the cavity can also be used for cleaning when the heater 20 stops working, and the cleaning liquid circulates from the cavity to cover each pipe of the heater 20.
