[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a steelmaking tundish structure, including a shell 1, a filter assembly, and an adjustment assembly. A stopper rod 2 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1. Two sets of ramps 3 are fixedly connected inside the shell 1 and arranged opposite each other. This arrangement helps to elevate the interior of both ends of the shell 1, reducing dead corners and facilitating the flow of molten steel. The filter assembly is located on the shell 1 and includes a connecting plate 4, a filter plate 5, and a clamping plate 6. The connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected inside the shell 1, and the filter plate 5 is mounted on the connecting plate 4. Openings are provided on the front and rear sides of the connecting plate 4, and an insertion port is provided on the top of the connecting plate 4. The filter plate 5 is inserted... The filter plate 5 is installed on the connecting plate 4, and a clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate 5. Both ends of the clamping plate 6 are snapped onto the housing 1. When the filter plate 5 needs to be removed, the operator manually pulls out the clamping plate 6, which causes the filter plate 5 to detach from the connecting plate 4, facilitating the removal of slag from the filter plate 5. Through the combined use of the connecting plate 4, the filter plate 5, and the clamping plate 6, molten steel can be filtered, effectively removing impurities and inclusions, improving the purity of the molten steel, and thus improving the quality of the final steel product. Furthermore, the filter plate 5 is designed for easy disassembly, allowing for convenient disassembly during use. The system allows for easy cleaning and replacement, reducing production downtime caused by filter plate clogging or damage, thus extending the service life of the tundish. The adjustment assembly is located inside the housing 1 and includes a baffle 7, a flow-slowing hole 8, a mounting plate 9, a square rod 10, an auxiliary hole 11, a rectangular hole 12, and a rectangular block 13. The baffle 7 has the flow-slowing hole 8 and the auxiliary hole 11, with the auxiliary hole 11 located above the flow-slowing hole 8. The diameter of the auxiliary hole 11 is smaller than that of the flow-slowing hole 8. During use, molten steel flows into the impact space of the housing 1 and is filtered through the filter plate 5. The filtered molten steel flows out through the flow-slowing hole 8 on the baffle 7 and passes through the stopper rod. 2. When molten steel needs to flow at a higher speed, the operator pulls out the square rod 10, causing it to detach from the mounting plate 9 and the baffle 7. Then, the mounting plate 9 is removed, exposing the slow-flow hole 8 and the auxiliary hole 11. Next, the stopper rod is adjusted to assist the flow of molten steel. Through the combined use of the baffle 7, the slow-flow hole 8, the mounting plate 9, the square rod 10, the auxiliary hole 11, the rectangular hole 12, and the rectangular block 13, the flow rate of molten steel can be adjusted as needed. By adjusting the flow rate of molten steel, the flow of molten steel in the tundish is ensured to be more uniform and stable, which helps to avoid the molten steel flowing too fast or too slow, and ensures the uniformity of the molten steel flow and the quality of the pouring.

[0023] Furthermore, the mounting plate 9 is snapped onto the top of the baffle 7, and the bottom of the mounting plate 9 is located below the auxiliary hole 11. Its setting facilitates the covering of the auxiliary hole 11. A rectangular block 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 9. Both the mounting plate 9 and the baffle 7 are provided with rectangular holes 12. A square rod 10 is inserted into the rectangular hole 12, and an impact space is formed between the housing 1 and the filter assembly.

[0024] Working principle: During use, molten steel flows into the impact space of the shell 1. The molten steel is filtered through the filter plate 5. The filtered molten steel flows out through the slow flow hole 8 on the baffle 7 and through the stopper rod 2. When the molten steel needs to move at a higher flow rate, the operator pulls out the square rod 10, so that the square rod 10 is separated from the mounting plate 9 and the baffle 7. Then the mounting plate 9 is taken out, exposing the slow flow hole 8 and the auxiliary hole 11. Then the stopper rod is adjusted to assist the flow of molten steel. When it is necessary to pull out the filter plate 5, the operator manually pulls out the clamping plate 6. The clamping plate 6 drives the filter plate 5 to separate from the connecting plate 4, which makes it easier for the operator to handle the slag on the filter plate 5.

[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
