For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1The embodiment provides a hydraulic cooling device 010 of a continuous casting machine, which comprises a support 100 and a spraying mechanism 200, the spraying mechanism 200 comprises a water pipe 210 and a spray head 220, the spray head 220 is arranged on the water pipe 210, and the water pipe 210 is arranged on the support 100, wherein the water pipe 210 is arranged around the outer circumferential side of a hydraulic cylinder 400 of the continuous casting machine, and the spray head 220 is used for spraying cooling water to the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0037] The water pipe 210 is arranged around the outer circumferential side of the continuous casting machine, so that the spray head 220 arranged on the water pipe 210 can reliably spray the cooling water on the outer surface of the hydraulic cylinder 400, and good cooling effect is achieved; moreover, the water pipe 210 and the spray head 220 are arranged outside the hydraulic cylinder 400 through the support 100, so that the structure is simple, and even if the water pipe 210 or the spray head 220 is damaged or fails, maintenance such as repair or replacement can be conveniently carried out.

[0038] The inner diameter and the outer diameter of the water pipe 210 can be selected according to requirements; in order to ensure that the water pipe 210 can provide sufficient cooling water to cool the hydraulic cylinder 400 and the cooling water is not wasted, the outer diameter of the water pipe 210 is 20 mm, and the inner diameter of the water pipe 210 is 15 mm.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the outer diameter of the water pipe 210 can also be 18 mm, 19 mm or the like, and the inner diameter of the water pipe 210 can also be 13 mm, 14 mm or the like, which is not limited here.

[0040] In order to uniformly spray the cooling water on the outer surface of the hydraulic cylinder 400, the water pipe 210 is arranged in a circular ring shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the water pipe 210 can also be in a rectangular ring shape or the like, which is not limited here.

[0041] In order to improve the effect of spraying cooling and reduce the loss of cooling water, the spacing between the water pipe 210 and the outer surface of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is 70 mm-90 mm, for example, 70 mm, 75 mm, 80 mm, 85 mm, 90 mm or the like.

[0042] If the spacing between the water pipe 210 and the surface of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is less than 70 mm, the spraying angle of the cooling water is too low, the spraying distance is short, the spraying range is small, the atomization is poor, and the cooling effect is poor.

[0043] If the spacing between the water pipe 210 and the surface of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is greater than 90 mm, although the spraying range is large and the atomization is good, the water is easy to lose, the flow is insufficient, and the cooling effect is not ideal.

[0044] In order to ensure that the cooling water sprayed from the spray head 220 can meet the pressure requirement of the hydraulic cylinder 400, please refer to Figure 2The spray head 220 of the embodiment is a variable-diameter spray head. The spray head 220 has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the water pipe 210, and the second end is provided with water spray holes 222. The diameter of the first end is greater than the diameter of the second end. The first end is provided with a water inlet 221, and the caliber of the water inlet 221 is greater than the diameter of the second end. In this way, the spray head 220 is roughly in the shape of a circular truncated cone, and the caliber of the water inlet 221 is greater than the diameter of the second end of the spray head 220, so that the pressure of the water entering the spray head 220 can be increased, thereby ensuring that the pressure of the cooling water sprayed from the spray head 220 is large enough to meet the requirements of the cooling hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0045] Further, the second end of the spray head 220 is provided with a plurality of water spray holes 222, and the plurality of water spray holes 222 are arranged in at least two concentric circles. The diameter of the first end is 15 mm, and the caliber of the water inlet 221 can be slightly smaller than 15 mm, for example, 14 mm, 14.5 mm, etc. The diameter of the second end is 10 mm, and the caliber of the water spray hole 222 is 1.2 mm. In this way, the pressure of the cooling water sprayed from the spray head 220 is strong, the flow is uniform, the spraying effect is good, and the cooling effect is good.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the caliber of the water inlet 221 is 15 mm, and the diameter of the first end can not be limited, for example, it can be 16 mm, 20 mm, etc. As long as the caliber of the water inlet 221 is greater than the diameter of the second end of the spray head 220, the water pressure from the first end to the second end of the spray head 220 can be increased to ensure that the sprayed cooling water has a large enough pressure.

[0047] The number of water spray holes 222 can be selected as needed. Please refer to Figure 3 The number of water spray holes 222 provided in the second end of the spray head 220 of the embodiment is 11. There are 6 water spray holes 222 uniformly distributed in the outermost circle, 4 water spray holes 222 uniformly distributed in the middle circle, and 1 water spray hole 222 distributed at the center of the innermost circle. The 11 water spray holes 222 are roughly in the shape of H. In this way, the uniformity of the cooling water spraying can be ensured, and good spraying cooling effect can be ensured.

[0048] In other embodiments, the number of water spray holes 222 can also be 6, 8, 10, 15, etc., which is not limited here.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 From the first end to the second end of the spray head 220, the inner wall 223 of the spray head 220 is in the shape of a ladder. In the case that the water inlet 221 is large, the water spray hole 222 is small, and the plurality of water spray holes 222 are roughly in the shape of H, the inner wall 223 of the spray head 220 is set to be in the shape of a ladder, which can ensure that enough cooling water is sprayed, and the pressure of the water flow sprayed from the water spray hole 222 is large enough to achieve good cooling effect.

[0050] Further, at the first end, the inner wall 223 of the spray head 220 has an angle of 60°-65°, for example, 60°, 63° or 65°, with the preset plane a perpendicular to the direction from the first end to the second end. In the case that the distance between the water pipe 210 and the outer surface of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is 70mm-90mm, the angle of the inner wall 223 of the spray head 220 at the first end with the preset plane a is 60°-65°, which can meet the requirements of the flow and pressure of the cooling water, so that the spray water range is far enough, the atomization cooling effect is good, the cooling is uniform, and the water loss is small.

[0051] In order to ensure the efficiency of spraying and cooling, the continuous casting machine hydraulic cooling device includes at least two spray heads 220, which are arranged at intervals on the water pipe 210. In this way, at least two spray heads 220 can be used to spray cooling water at the same time, effectively improving the efficiency of cooling.

[0052] The number of spray heads 220 can be selected as needed. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the spraying mechanism 200 includes eight spray heads 220, and four spray heads 220 are uniformly and spacedly connected on each side of the water pipe 210 along the direction of the axis b of the annular water pipe 210, and the spray heads 220 on the two sides are correspondingly distributed. Of course, in other embodiments, the spray heads 220 on the two sides of the water pipe 210 can also be staggered. In this way, the cooling water can be sprayed more efficiently and uniformly to improve the efficiency and effect of cooling.

[0053] In other embodiments, the number of spray heads 220 can also be one, two, three, four, ten, etc., which is not limited here.

[0054] In other embodiments, the spray head 220 can be arranged on only one side of the water pipe 210.

[0055] It should be noted that the connection mode of the spray head 220 and the water pipe 210 can be threaded connection. In this way, the spray head 220 is easy to assemble and disassemble, thereby facilitating assembly and maintenance. Of course, in other embodiments, the connection mode of the spray head 220 and the water pipe 210 can also be clamping, welding, etc., which is not limited here.

[0056] In order to be able to reuse the cooling water sprayed out, reduce the cooling cost; please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The continuous casting machine hydraulic cooling device 010 further includes a cooling water recovery chassis device 300, and the support 100 is arranged on the cooling water recovery chassis device 300, and the cooling water recovery chassis device 300 is arranged below the hydraulic cylinder 400 and is used for recovering cooling water.

[0057] The cooling water recovery chassis device 300 includes, but is not limited to, a water receiving tray, a water receiving tank, etc. arranged below the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0058] It should be noted that the recovered cooling water can be treated by oil removal, filtration, etc. and then recycled for cooling the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0059] Optionally, the continuous casting machine hydraulic cooling device 010 further comprises a water return pipe 310 in communication with the cooling water recovery chassis device 300 and connectable to a recovery treatment device (not shown in the figure) for guiding the cooling water collected by the cooling water recovery chassis device 300 to the recovery treatment device for filtration, oil removal, etc.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The continuous casting machine hydraulic cooling device 010 of the embodiment further comprises a temperature sensor 230 arranged on the hydraulic cylinder 400, a controller (not shown in the figure) and a dynamic regulating valve (not shown in the figure) arranged between the spray head 220 and the water pipe 210, and the temperature sensor 230 and the dynamic regulating valve are both connected to the controller. In this way, the temperature sensor 230 can be used to detect the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 in real time, and send the corresponding detection signal to the controller, and the controller can control the dynamic regulating valve to make the spray head 220 spray different amounts of water, so as to facilitate cooling of the hydraulic cylinder 400 according to the real-time temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400, on the one hand to ensure the cooling effect and efficiency, and on the other hand to reduce the waste of cooling water.

[0061] The controller includes, but is not limited to, a PLC control system.

[0062] Optionally, the water pipe 210 is connected to the dynamic regulating valve through a high-temperature-resistant metal hose, and the dynamic regulating valve is connected to the spray head 220; the regulating power of the dynamic regulating valve is 4-20 mA, that is, the opening of the dynamic regulating valve can be adjusted by using a current of 4-20 mA, so as to adjust the amount of cooling water sprayed by the spray head 220, for example: when a current of 4 mA is delivered to the dynamic regulating valve, the dynamic regulating valve is in the minimum opening state, and the spray head 220 sprays the minimum amount of water; when a current of 20 mA is delivered to the dynamic regulating valve, the dynamic regulating valve is in the fully open state, and the spray head 220 sprays the maximum amount of water.

[0063] The embodiment also provides a cooling method for the continuous casting machine hydraulic cooling device 010 described above, and the cooling method comprises the following steps:

[0064] S1: When the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 reaches a first preset temperature, the spray head 220 sprays cooling water to the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0065] Optionally, when the temperature sensor 230 detects that the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is greater than or equal to 55℃, a detection signal is sent to the controller, and the controller controls the dynamic adjusting valve to open the spray head 220 to spray cooling water to spray the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0066] In this way, the hydraulic cylinder 400 can be cooled by the spray head 220 when cooling is needed, so as to reduce the waste of cooling water and cool the hydraulic cylinder 400 in time, thereby prolonging the service life of the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0067] S2: If the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is reduced to the second preset temperature within the first preset time, the spray head 220 is controlled to stop spraying cooling water; otherwise, the amount of cooling water sprayed by the spray head 220 is increased, and the spray head 220 is sprayed for the second preset time.

[0068] Optionally, within 1 minute after the step S1 starts to spray cooling water, the temperature sensor 230 detects that the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is reduced to 40℃, so that the controller controls the dynamic adjusting valve to be closed, and the spray head 220 stops spraying cooling water to the hydraulic cylinder 400, so as to save the cooling water. If the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is not reduced to 40℃ within 1 minute to 2 minutes after the step S1 starts, the controller increases the amount of water sprayed by the spray head 220, so as to strengthen the cooling of the hydraulic cylinder 400, so that the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 can be reliably reduced, and the problem that the sealing ring of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is easily damaged at high temperature is improved.

[0069] It should be noted that when the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is not reduced to 40℃ within 1 minute to 2 minutes after the step S1 starts, the controller increases the amount of water sprayed by the spray head 220, and the specific amount of increase can be obtained by looking up a table.

[0070] S3: If the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is reduced to the second preset temperature within the second preset time, the spray head 220 is controlled to stop spraying cooling water; otherwise, the amount of cooling water sprayed by the spray head 220 is increased again, and the casting speed of the continuous casting machine is reduced, and when the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is reduced to the second preset temperature and maintained for a set time, the casting speed of the continuous casting machine is restored.

[0071] Optionally, 1-2 minutes after the amount of cooling water sprayed in step S2 is increased, i.e. 2-3 minutes after the spraying starts, if the temperature sensor 230 detects that the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 decreases to 40℃, the dynamic adjusting valve is controlled by the controller to be closed, and the spray head 220 no longer sprays cooling water on the hydraulic cylinder 400, so as to save the cooling water. If the temperature sensor 230 detects that the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is still greater than 40℃, the dynamic adjusting valve is controlled by the controller to be opened to the maximum water flow, so that the spray head 220 sprays a large amount of cooling water, and the casting speed of the continuous casting machine can be reduced by 0.5 m / min, so as to avoid that the temperature of the cast slab is too high, and the hydraulic cylinder 400 is kept at a high temperature for a long time, i.e. it is beneficial to the cooling of the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0072] When the temperature sensor 230 detects that the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 decreases to less than or equal to 40℃ and is maintained for 2 minutes, the casting speed of the continuous casting machine can be restored, and the cooling is stopped.

[0073] The cooling method of the embodiment can reduce the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 to 40℃ within 3 minutes, and further prolong the service life of the hydraulic cylinder 400.

[0074] It should be noted that, in order to make the cooling water sprayed by the spray head 220 more meet the cooling demand and not waste the cooling water, in the production process, different levels of metal heat conduction coefficients can be introduced into the controller according to the steel grade, so as to control different amounts of sprayed water according to different steel grades.

[0075] Optionally, for plain carbon steel such as threaded steel (30%), the faster the temperature heat transfer, the metal heat conduction coefficient is 1; for medium carbon steel such as wire drawing steel, the alloy composition is moderate (45%-65%), the density of the cast slab is high, the heat storage is large, and the heat loss is small, and the metal heat conduction coefficient is 1.3; for high-grade building steel, the alloy composition is moderate (≧70%), the density of the cast slab is higher, the heat storage is larger, and the metal heat conduction coefficient is 1.5; the greater the metal heat conduction coefficient, the more cooling water is needed, i.e. the spray head 220 sprays more cooling water by controlling the dynamic adjusting valve by the controller.

[0076] In the production process, the water flow coefficient can also be determined according to the actual temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400, and the dynamic adjusting valve is controlled by the controller to make the spray head 220 spray different amounts of water; wherein the hydraulic cylinder 400 starts to spray water when the temperature is higher than 55℃ and above, and the water flow coefficient is 1; when the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is higher than 75℃ and above, the water flow coefficient increases to 1.7. When the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 is higher than 95℃ and above, the water flow coefficient increases to 2.1; the higher the temperature of the hydraulic cylinder 400 when the cooling starts, the more water the spray head 220 sprays.

[0077] In the production process, the casting blank temperature coefficient can also be determined according to different casting speeds of the continuous casting machine, and the dynamic adjusting valve is controlled according to the casting blank temperature coefficient to make the nozzle 220 spray different amounts of water; wherein, the position 30 meters away from the cooling bed is defined as a standard position, the standard temperature is 1000 DEG C, the casting speed is 1.8 m / min-2.2 m / min, the temperature reaching the cooling bed is about 500 DEG C, and the casting blank temperature coefficient is 1; when the casting speed is 2.2 m / min-2.5 m / min, the temperature reaching the cooling bed is about 650 DEG C, and the casting blank temperature coefficient is 1.2; when the casting speed is 2.5 m / min-2.9 m / min, the temperature reaching the cooling bed is about 750 DEG C, and the casting blank temperature coefficient is 1.5; when the casting speed is 2.9 m / min-3.3 m / min, the temperature reaching the cooling bed is about 830 DEG C, and the casting blank temperature coefficient is 1.7; the greater the casting speed, the greater the casting blank temperature coefficient, and the controller controls the dynamic adjusting valve to make the nozzle 220 spray more cooling water.

[0078] In the production process, the heavier the weight of a single casting blank, the slower the temperature dissipation, and the greater the cooling strength is needed, so the controller controls the dynamic adjusting valve to make the nozzle 220 spray more cooling water to cool in time.

[0079] It should be noted that the spraying amount of the cooling water can be calculated according to the metal heat conduction coefficient, the water flow coefficient, and the casting blank temperature coefficient through a table or a formula stored in the controller, and is not specifically limited here.

[0080] The continuous casting machine hydraulic cooling device 010 of the embodiment can control the nozzle 220 to spray a corresponding amount of cooling water according to the temperature of the surface of the hydraulic cylinder 400 and the like, so as to cool the hydraulic cylinder 400 in time and efficiently, and is beneficial to reducing the waste of cooling water.

[0081] In summary, the continuous casting machine hydraulic cooling device 010 and the cooling method of the application can improve the cooling effect, and the structure of the cooling device is simple and convenient to maintain when faults or damages occur.

[0082] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the application and is not used to limit the application. For those skilled in the art, the application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
