Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of large-scale continuous casting machine ladle turret bearing replacement, and particularly relates to a device for quickly replacing the bearing of a large-scale continuous casting machine ladle turret, which can use a hydraulic lifting device of the upper structure of the ladle turret arranged on a steel structure overhead traveling beam above the ladle turret, and use a method of arranging a bearing sliding beam of the continuous casting machine ladle turret under the upper structure of the ladle turret hoisted by using a track of a trolley of a continuous casting machine intermediate ladle. The device is suitable for the bearing maintenance and replacement construction of a large-scale continuous casting machine ladle turret whose process position is directly below the overhead traveling beam. BACKGROUND

[0002] The general structure of the ladle turret is as shown in Figure 1 .

[0003] The bearing of the large-scale continuous casting machine ladle turret is located inside the rotating gear of the ladle turret at position A in the figure, and the form is as shown in Figure 2 .

[0004] In order to replace the bearing of the continuous casting machine ladle turret, all the components of the upper structure of the ladle turret need to be removed. In the process design of the steel smelting plant of the steel smelting enterprise, the continuous casting machine ladle turret is entirely located directly below the column line steel structure overhead traveling beam between the molten steel span and the molten steel pouring span of the main plant of the steelmaking plant, so the removal and hoisting of all the components of the upper structure of the ladle turret cannot be directly performed by using the main plant bridge crane, and the components of the upper structure of the ladle turret are numerous, and have large size and mass. The common methods in the existing bearing replacement work of the large-scale continuous casting machine ladle turret are as follows: 1. using two bridge cranes of the molten steel span and the molten steel pouring span of the main plant of the steelmaking plant to hoist a hoisting beam, and using the hoisting beam to remove and hoist all the components of the upper structure of the ladle turret, and then using the hoisting beam to remove and hoist the bearing of the continuous casting machine ladle turret; 2. setting a jack under the upper structure of the continuous casting machine ladle turret, lifting the upper structure of the continuous casting machine ladle turret upward, then setting a sliding beam between the upper structure of the continuous casting machine ladle turret and the lower base of the continuous casting machine ladle turret by using the bridge crane of the molten steel pouring span, and then sliding the bearing of the continuous casting machine ladle turret along the sliding beam to the molten steel pouring span of the main plant of the steelmaking plant. The method 1 occupies more main plant bridge cranes for the maintenance and replacement construction of the already put-into-production ladle turret, and has a long impact on the traveling time, and has a large impact on the production. The method 2 has the following problems: since the bearing of the continuous casting machine ladle turret is circular, the jack setting positions are relatively average with the included angle of the line connecting the center point of the bearing of the continuous casting machine ladle turret, so the jack hinders the sliding of the bearing of the continuous casting machine ladle turret; if the jack setting positions are relatively small with the included angle of the line connecting the center point of the bearing of the continuous casting machine ladle turret, and the center of gravity of the upper structure of the ladle turret is higher than the support positions, the stability of the upper structure of the ladle turret after being lifted and supported is poor, which may cause the safety accident of the overturning of the whole equipment and the damage to the safety of the construction personnel.

[0005] In summary, in order to find a large package of large-scale continuous casting machine rotary table bearing replacement construction method, the technical personnel carefully study the steel smelting enterprise smelting plant equipment process layout, and the tooling facility for large package of large-scale continuous casting machine rotary table bearing replacement is invented. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a device for large package of large-scale continuous casting machine rotary table bearing replacement, which overcomes the safety hazards and other problems of the prior art.

The flange-equipped hydraulic jack 2 is bolted to the bottom of the lifting frame 1, the safety support 4 is bolted to the bottom of the lifting frame 1, and the lifting sling 5 is connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 1 using the lifting buckle 3. The continuous casting machine ladle rotary table bearing sliding beam transverse moving trolley 7 is placed on the continuous casting machine ladle trolley track, and the continuous casting machine ladle rotary table bearing sliding beam 6 is welded and fixed to the continuous casting machine ladle rotary table bearing sliding beam transverse moving trolley 7.

[0008] One lifting frame 1 is placed on the main plant steel structure head beam, several safety supports 4 are made, two continuous casting machine ladle rotary table bearing sliding beams 6 are made, and one continuous casting machine ladle rotary table bearing sliding beam transverse moving trolley 7 is made. Four flange-equipped hydraulic jacks 2, eight lifting buckles 3, and four lifting slings 5 are prepared.

[0009] The advantages and positive effects of the present application are:

[0010] (1) simple to use;

[0011] (2) relatively large-scale removal of ladle rotary table upper structure parts is economical, time-saving, and low in mechanical cost; that is, it can save the economic, time, and mechanical costs required for the work of the continuous casting machine ladle rotary table bearing;

The replacement construction steps are as follows:

[0029] (1) The base flange hydraulic jack 2 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting frame 1 by bolts, the safety support 4 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting frame 1 by bolts, and the lifting sling 5 is connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 1 by the lifting buckle 3.

[0030] (2) After the lifting sling 5 is lowered to pass through the brake plate between the steel structure crown block beam 8, the upper structure 9 of the tundish rotary table is hung.

[0031] (3) After removing the connecting bolts between the tundish rotary table bearing 10 and the lower base of the tundish rotary table, the base flange hydraulic jack 2 is started to lift the lifting frame 1 upward, driving the upper structure 9 of the tundish rotary table and the tundish rotary table bearing 10 upward. After the upper structure 9 of the tundish rotary table is lifted to a certain height, the safety support 4 is arranged below the original safety support 4 installed below the lifting frame 1, and the safety support 4 is connected with the original safety support 4 installed below the lifting frame 1 by bolts.
