DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0030] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or is the orientation or position relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed when in use. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0033] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0035] The steel mill's billet continuous casting machine's dummy ingot storage device consists of a clamp and several sets of rollers. The clamp is installed in the middle of the dummy ingot device. Before production begins, the head of the dummy ingot is fed into the casting machine's mold. After the dummy ingot is tied, production begins. The dummy ingot then pulls the billet to the casting machine's straightening machine, where the straightening machine's dummy ingot removal device separates the dummy ingot from the billet, completing a crucial production step. During dummy delivery, the clamp failed, causing the dummy ingot to fall uncontrollably and rapidly, damaging the equipment. Furthermore, as the dummy ingot pulled the billet, the single clamp failed to accurately position the dummy ingot, causing it to deviate and fail to properly enter the clamp. This caused the dummy ingot to press against the billet, resulting in production interruption.

[0036] Based on the above problems, the present invention provides an ingot guide device for a continuous casting machine, which can eliminate equipment accidents caused by the uncontrolled rapid falling of the ingot, can accurately feed the ingot into the clamper, ensure smooth production, and enhance the safety performance of the ingot guide device.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 5 The continuous casting machine ingot dummy device 10 includes a base (not shown), a dummy rod 100, a driving mechanism 200, an anti-falling mechanism 300 and a locking mechanism 400.

[0038] The base is provided with a moving path (not shown), the dummy bar 100 can move along the moving path, and the driving mechanism 200 , the anti-fall mechanism 300 and the locking mechanism 400 are all provided on the base.

[0039] In this embodiment, the moving path and the dummy bar 100 are both arc-shaped. The driving mechanism 200 drives the dummy bar 100 to move along the moving path, and the driving mechanism 200 can also fix the dummy bar 100 relative to the base, thereby improving the fixation performance of the dummy bar 100. In addition, the anti-fall mechanism 300 abuts against the dummy bar 100 to fix the dummy bar 100 in the event of the dummy bar 100 falling, thereby preventing the dummy bar 100 from falling and damaging equipment or causing personal injury. In addition, the locking mechanism 400 engages with the dummy bar 100 when the dummy bar 100 is in a preset position to lock the dummy bar 100, thereby further preventing the dummy bar 100 from falling. Therefore, the safety performance of the continuous casting machine dummy device 10 is effectively improved, ensuring smooth production.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that the dummy bar 100 is driven upward along the moving path by the driving mechanism 200. When it moves to the preset position, the dummy bar 100 is locked by the locking mechanism 400 to fix the dummy bar 100 for the corresponding operation process. After the operation process is completed, the dummy bar 100 is driven downward by the driving mechanism 200. During the upward or downward movement of the dummy bar 100, the anti-fall mechanism 300 acts on the dummy bar 100 to prevent the dummy bar 100 from suddenly falling and locking the dummy bar 100.

[0041] It should also be noted that the number of driving mechanisms 200 and anti-falling mechanisms 300 can be multiple, and multiple driving mechanisms 200 and multiple anti-falling mechanisms 300 are staggered to improve the driving or fixing effect of the continuous casting machine ingot guide device 10 on the ingot guide rod 100, and effectively prevent the ingot guide rod 100 from falling, thereby improving the safety performance of the continuous casting machine ingot guide device 10. It is worth mentioning that the number of driving mechanisms 200 is usually not less than two, and the number of driving mechanisms 200 and anti-falling mechanisms 300 can be adjusted according to the length of the ingot guide rod 100, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0042] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of the driving mechanisms 200 may be three, and the number of the anti-falling mechanisms 300 may be two.

[0043] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 200 includes a first driving roller 210 , a second driving roller 220 , a first driving member 230 , a second driving member 240 and a first sensor 250 .

[0044] The first driving roller 210 and the second driving roller 220 are both disposed on the moving path and are used to clamp the dummy bar 100 on two opposite sides to drive the dummy bar 100 to move along the moving path.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first drive roller 210 and the second drive roller 220 are respectively clamped at the upper and lower ends of the dummy bar 100, and the area between the first drive rollers 210 and the second drive rollers 220 on the multiple drive mechanisms 200 forms a moving path of the dummy bar 100, thereby driving the dummy bar 100 to move along the moving path through the multiple first drive rollers 210 and the multiple second drive rollers 220.

[0046] Specifically, both ends of the first driving roller 210 are provided with inclined first wheel edges 211, and the two first wheel edges 211 restrict the dummy bar 100 between the two first wheel edges 211 to prevent the dummy bar 100 from deviating from the moving path during movement; similarly, both ends of the second driving roller 220 are also provided with inclined second wheel edges 221, so as to jointly restrict the dummy bar 100 to the area between the two first wheel edges 211, the outer wall of the first driving roller 210, the two second wheel edges 221 and the outer wall of the second driving roller 220 to ensure stable and correct movement of the dummy bar 100.

[0047] Furthermore, the first driving member 230 is connected to the first driving roller 210 for driving the first driving roller 210 to rotate, the second driving member 240 is connected to the second driving roller 220 for driving the second driving roller 220 to move toward the first driving roller 210, and the first sensor 250 is arranged on the first driving roller 210 for obtaining displacement information of the dart rod 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first drive member 230 can be a synchronous motor that is synchronized with the caster straightening machine drive motor. The first drive member 230 can drive the first drive roller 210 to rotate in two opposite directions, thereby moving the dummy bar 100 along the movement path in two opposite directions. The second drive member 240 can be a hydraulic cylinder. The first drive roller 210 can be movably mounted on the base.

[0049] Optionally, the first sensor 250 may be an encoder, and the first sensor 250 is disposed on the first driving roller 210 of one of the driving mechanisms 200. By acquiring the displacement information of the dummy bar 100 through the first sensor 250, the specific position of the dummy bar 100 in the moving path can be known.

[0050] Specifically, the driving mechanism 200 also includes a first mounting member 260 and a second mounting member 270, the rotating shaft of the first driving roller 210 is movably connected to the first mounting member 260, and the second driving member 240 is arranged on the first mounting member 260; the rotating shaft of the second driving roller 220 is movably connected to the second mounting member 270, and the output end of the second driving member 240 is connected to the second mounting member 270, so as to drive the second driving roller 220 toward the first driving roller 210 through the second driving member 240, that is, to drive the second driving roller 220 to move vertically upward or downward.

[0051] It should be noted that, when the second driving member 240 is a hydraulic cylinder, the lifting and lowering of the second driving roller 220 is achieved by the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the second driving member 240. The working states of the second driving member 240 include two states: the ingot moving and the ingot stationary. The second driving roller 220 is driven by high pressure and low pressure respectively to clamp the ingot rod 100, so that the first driving roller 210 and the second driving roller 220 are jointly used to drive the ingot rod 100 to move or fix the ingot rod 100.

[0052] Furthermore, the anti-fall mechanism 300 includes a fixing member 310, a slider 320, a first elastic member 330, a second elastic member 340 and an abutment member 350, and the number of the fixing member 310, the slider 320, the first elastic member 330, the second elastic member 340 and the abutment member 350 is usually two.

[0053] The fixing member 310 is provided on the base, the slider 320 is suspended on the fixing member 310 via the first elastic member 330 , and the slider 320 and the fixing member 310 are slidably matched. The slider 320 is used to abut against the dummy bar 100 under the action of the fixing member 310 .

[0054] In this embodiment, two fixing members 310 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the movement path of the dummy bar 100, and abut against the dummy bar 100 via a slider 320 provided on the dummy bar 100. Therefore, during the downward movement of the dummy bar 100, the dummy bar 100 drives the slider 320 downward, and the friction generated between the slider 320 and the dummy bar 100 acts as a speed limiter for the dummy bar 100, thereby preventing the dummy bar 100 from rapidly falling and causing damage to equipment or personal injury.

[0055] Furthermore, the fixing member 310 is provided with a first inclined surface 311, and the slider 320 is provided with a second inclined surface 321 and an abutting surface 322, and the second inclined surface 321 is used to slide vertically downward along the first inclined surface 311 so that the abutting surface 322 abuts against the ingot rod 100 and has a tendency to move toward the ingot rod 100.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first inclined surface 311 is in contact with the second inclined surface 321, and in the vertical downward direction, the first inclined surface 311 gradually extends toward the moving path of the dummy bar 100, so that when the second inclined surface 321 slides relative to the first inclined surface 311, the slider 320 also moves toward the moving path of the dummy bar 100 while moving vertically downward. Therefore, when the slider 320 abuts against the dummy bar 100, the force exerted by the abutting surface 322 on the slider 320 on the dummy bar 100 gradually increases, thereby gradually increasing the friction between the abutting surface 322 and the dummy bar 100.

[0057] Specifically, the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 321 are spaced apart from each other.

[0058] It should be noted that, since the slider 320 is connected to the fixing member 310 through the first elastic member 330, when the dummy rod 100 moves at a relatively low speed or acceleration, the contact between the dummy rod 100 and the slider 320 only drives the slider 320 to move slightly downward. In this case, the force on the slider 320 is balanced; and when the dummy rod 100 moves at a relatively high speed or acceleration, the dummy rod 100 drives the slider 320 to move downward so that the slider 320 increases the pressure between the abutting surface 322 and the dummy rod 100 under the action of the first inclined surface 311, thereby limiting the dummy rod and locking the dummy rod 100.

[0059] In this case, the first elastic member 330 is in a stretched state. At this time, the first driving member 230 of the driving mechanism 200 needs to be started to drive the dummy rod 100 to move upward. The slider 320 is pulled back to its original position under the action of the elastic restoring force of the dummy rod 100 and the first elastic member 330 to ensure that the dummy rod 100 can descend normally.

[0060] Furthermore, one end of the second elastic member 340 is connected to the fixing member 310 , and the other end is movably connected to the abutting member 350 , and the abutting member 350 is disposed on the abutting surface 322 .

[0061] In this embodiment, when the abutment member 350 abuts against the dummy bar 100, the second elastic member 340 is in a compressed state. Therefore, by providing the second elastic member 340 with different elastic properties, the contact pressure between the abutment member 350 and the dummy bar 100 can be different, thereby enabling the dummy bar 100 to move at different downward speeds.

[0062] Optionally, the abutting member 350 may be a speed limiting wheel, and the number of the second elastic member 340 and the abutting member 350 may be multiple.

[0063] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 400 includes a latch member 410 , a latch seat 420 , a second sensor 430 , a third sensor 440 and a third driving member 450 .

[0064] The dummy bar 100 defines a first through hole 110 . The latch seat 420 is disposed on the base and defines a second through hole 421 . The latch member 410 is used to sequentially penetrate the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 421 .

[0065] In this embodiment, when the dummy rod 100 is completely moved to the moving path on the base, the first through hole 110 corresponds to and is connected to the second through hole 421, and the latch member 410 passes through the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 421 in sequence, thereby effectively fixing the dummy rod 100 on the latch member 410.

[0066] Specifically, the output end of the third driving member 450 is connected to the latch member 410 , so that the latch member 410 is driven by the third driving member 450 to perform a latching action.

[0067] Alternatively, the third driving member 450 may be a hydraulic cylinder.

[0068] Furthermore, there are two second sensors 430 and two latch seats 420 , which are respectively arranged on both sides of the moving path. The second sensors 430 are used to detect whether the latch member 410 passes through the second through hole 421 .

[0069] In this embodiment, two latch seats 420 are provided on both sides of the moving path to effectively improve the stability of the latch member 410. Second sensors 430 are provided on the two second sensors 430 to ensure that the latch member 410 is successfully latched through the signals obtained by the second sensors 430, thereby avoiding accidents.

[0070] Furthermore, the dart rod 100 is provided with a third through hole 120 , and the third sensor 440 includes a transmitting end 441 and a receiving end 442 , which are arranged on opposite sides of the moving path, and the receiving end 442 is used to receive the signal transmitted by the transmitting end 441 through the third through hole 120 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the third sensor 440 begins operating when the dummy bar 100 moves between the transmitting end 441 and the receiving end 442. When a signal emitted by the transmitting end 441 passes through the third through-hole 120 and is received by the receiving end 442, it indicates that the dummy bar 100 has moved to a predetermined position. Therefore, the dummy bar 100 can be positioned by the third sensor 440, and the latching operation can be performed.

[0072] Optionally, the third sensor 440 may be an infrared locator.

[0073] Furthermore, the continuous casting machine ingot guiding device 10 also includes a control processor (not shown in the figure), and the first sensor 250, the third sensor 440, the first drive member 230, the second drive member 240 and the third drive member 450 are all electrically connected to the control processor. The control processor is used to receive electrical signals from the first sensor 250 and the third sensor 440 and control the start-up of the third drive member 450.

[0074] In this embodiment, the control processor controls the third driver 450 to drive the latching member 410 to perform the latching operation only when the control processor simultaneously receives signals from the first sensor 250 and the third sensor 440. In other words, the control processor controls the third driver 450 to perform the latching operation only when the first sensor 250 detects that the dummy bar 100 has moved to a preset position and sends an electrical signal to the control processor, and the receiving end 442 of the third sensor 440 receives a signal from the transmitting end 441 via the third through hole 120 and sends an electrical signal to the control processor. During the latching process, successful latching is confirmed only when the two second sensors 430 send latching signals to the control processor.

[0075] When the dummy bar 100 needs to move downward, the control processor can control the first driving member 230 to start only after the two second sensors 430 send a signal indicating that the dummy bar 100 has been successfully removed to the control processor.

[0076] It should also be noted that the continuous casting machine dummy device 10 includes a maintenance state and a production state. In the maintenance state, the first driving member 230 is controlled to be in a power-off state, the second driving member is controlled to be in a state of low-pressure pressing the dummy bar 100, the latch member 410 is controlled to be in a latched state, and the third driving member 450 is controlled to be in a power-off state.

[0077] In the production state and when the dummy bar 100 is in the downward state, the second driving member 240 is controlled to switch from the low-pressure state to the high-pressure pressing state, and the third driving member 450 is controlled to drive the latch member 410 to unpin. When the second sensor 430 detects that the latch member 410 is in the unpinning state, the first driving member 230 is controlled to start.

[0078] In the production state and when the guide rod 100 is in the upward state, the first driving member 230 is controlled to start to drive the guide rod 100 upward, and the second driving member 240 is controlled to press the guide member in a high-pressure state. When the first sensor 250 and the third sensor 440 both detect that the guide rod 100 moves to the preset position, the first driving member 230 is controlled to stop running, and the third driving member 450 is controlled to latch. When the third sensor 440 detects that the latch is in place, the second driving member 240 is controlled to switch to a low-pressure state to compress the guide member.

[0079] In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides a continuous casting machine ingot guide device 10, in which the ingot guide rod 100 is driven to move along a moving path by a driving mechanism 200, and the ingot guide rod 100 can also be fixed relative to a base by the driving mechanism 200, thereby improving the fixing performance of the ingot guide rod 100; and the anti-fall mechanism 300 abuts against the ingot guide rod 100 to fix the ingot guide rod 100 when the ingot guide rod 100 falls, which can prevent the ingot guide rod 100 from falling and damaging equipment or causing personal injury; in addition, the locking mechanism 400 engages with the ingot guide rod 100 when the ingot guide rod 100 is in a preset position to lock the ingot guide rod 100, thereby further preventing the ingot guide rod 100 from falling, thereby effectively improving the safety performance of the continuous casting machine ingot guide device 10 and ensuring smooth production.
