Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal casting technology, specifically to a secondary cooling water heat flow control device for continuous casting. Background Technology

[0002] Secondary cooling in continuous casting refers to the forced and uniform cooling of the billet within the length range from the outlet of the crystallizer to the straightening machine during the continuous casting steelmaking process. This range is called the secondary cooling zone. The secondary cooling device is located within a quarter of the arc. Since the billet pulled out from the crystallizer outlet has not yet fully solidified when it enters the upper section of the secondary cooling zone, the billet shell is thin, the thermal resistance is small, and the stress generated by the solidification shrinkage of the billet shell is also small, so strong cooling can be applied. As the thickness of the billet shell increases, the thermal resistance increases, and the cooling intensity should be gradually reduced after the billet enters the lower section of the secondary cooling zone.

[0003] However, during the secondary cooling process in continuous casting, a large amount of water vapor is generated. The water vapor quickly turns into water mist in the air, obscuring the view and making it difficult to observe the surface of the steel. Furthermore, when water is supplied, the upper and lower sections of the arc are cooled by strong cooling and weak cooling respectively. Even with careful control of the water flow, the temperature difference between the water on the outside of the steel and the surface of the steel in the lower section is too large, leading to cracking and a poor forming effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a secondary cooling water heat flow control device for continuous casting, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the generation of a large amount of water vapor during secondary cooling of continuous casting, the rapid transformation of water vapor into water mist in the air, which obstructs vision and makes it difficult to observe the surface of the steel. Furthermore, the use of strong cooling and weak cooling in the upper and lower sections of the arc during water supply, even with strict control of the water flow, still leads to excessive temperature difference between the water temperature on the outer side of the steel in the lower section and the surface temperature of the steel, resulting in cracking and poor forming effect.

[0017] According to the above technical solution, the guide roller is equipped with a steam cleaning component, which includes an arc-shaped baffle.

[0018] An arc-shaped baffle is installed on one side of the guide roller. Outer scrapers are welded to both ends of the arc-shaped baffle near the guide roller. Partitions are uniformly welded between the arc-shaped baffle and the outer scrapers. Inner scrapers are welded to the side of the partitions near the guide roller.

[0019] The side plate has a pull hole corresponding to the water vapor pipe. The water vapor pipe is connected to one end of the half pipe.

[0022] According to the above technical solution, one end of the outer scraper is closely attached to the guide roller, and the side of the inner scraper near the guide roller is a smooth curved surface that fits the guide roller.

[0023] According to the above technical solution, the arc-shaped baffle contacts the side plate at both ends, and the guide hole is an elongated hole with a width equal to the outer diameter of the water vapor pipe and chamfered at both ends.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] 1. Equipped with a water flow regulating component, the incoming red-hot steel bar is cooled. The water quickly evaporates into steam. The hot air pump is activated, and air is drawn from the negative pressure box through the negative pressure hole. The high-temperature steam passes through the air filter and enters the steam pipe, and is then transported to the heat exchange pipe by the hot air pump. At this time, the water between the water supply pipe and the baffle plate exchanges heat through the condensation branch pipe. The water vapor in the condensation pipe condenses into water droplets, and the water in the heat exchange pipe between the water supply pipe and the baffle plate is heated. The water sprayed from the water spray pipe above the baffle plate has a lower temperature, while the water sprayed from the water spray pipe below the baffle plate has a higher temperature. This ensures that the upper guide roller cools down more and the lower guide roller cools down less, avoiding the problem of cracking on the outside of the red-hot steel due to excessive temperature difference in the lower guide roller. The water volume and water temperature are controlled by an electric flow limiting valve, resulting in better cooling effect and reduced steam overflow. It is also convenient to check the condition of the outside of the continuously cast iron. The steam is condensed and recovered for later use, saving water resources.

[0026] When the electromagnet is activated, it attracts the baffle plate inside the heat exchange tube. The bottom and top sliding plates slide along the inside of the heat exchange tube, and the rolling rod rolls along the top surface of the top sliding plate to adjust the position of the baffle plate. This changes the ratio of water entering the heat exchange tube and the arc-shaped water distribution pipe, and thus the ratio of high and low temperature water sprayed onto the outside of the red-hot steel. This allows for adjustments based on different needs to achieve better cooling and improve the forming effect of the steel.

[0027] 2. Equipped with a steam cleaning component, the condensed water flows along the condenser pipe and enters the condensate pipe. The water in the condensate pipe is filtered through the water filter screen and enters the bottom of the water tank. Then, the ultrasonic atomizing plate is activated, followed by the cold air pump. The water mist is guided by the cold air pump and enters the space formed by the arc-shaped baffle, the outer scraper, and the side plate through the air supply pipe. It is sprayed onto the outside of the guide roller and flows along the partition to the guide hole, then to the lower partition, flowing in a curved path and contacting the outside of the guide roller to wet and cool it down. This also facilitates the outer and inner scrapers to remove debris attached to the outside of the guide roller. The cooling process is simultaneous with the cleaning. The heated water vapor continues to flow along the connecting pipe into the lower half-pipe to clean and cool the lower guide roller. This process continues until the bottom guide roller is cleaned. The remaining water vapor then enters the water tank through the residual water pipe. Some water vapor overflows from the top of the water tank, while some water vapor continues to mix with the condensate flowing down the condensate pipe for the next cleaning and cooling operation.

[0028] In summary, the water flow regulating component collects water vapor, reducing water vapor for easier observation while conserving water resources. It also regulates water temperature, changing the temperature difference between the water and the outside of the cast iron, thus improving the molding effect. The condensed water is then reused in the steam cleaning component, saving water resources while cleaning and cooling the guide rollers, further improving the molding effect of the cast iron.

[0049] An arc-shaped baffle 301 is installed on one side of the guide roller 1. Outer scrapers 302 are welded to both ends of the arc-shaped baffle 301 near the guide roller 1.

[0050] A pull hole 307 is provided on the side plate 201 corresponding to the water vapor pipe 306. The water vapor pipe 306 is connected to one end of the half-pipe 308. Two half-pipes 308 located on the same straight line are respectively connected to the two ends of the spring 309. A flexible connecting pipe 310 is sleeved on the outside of the spring 309. The ends of several half-pipes 308 located in the middle are connected by connecting pipes 311. The bottom end of the bottom half-pipe 308 is connected to the drain pipe 312.

A water filter screen 315 is installed in the middle of the inside of the water tank 313. The bottom of the inside of the water tank 313 is connected to the drain pipe 312. The water tank 313 is equipped with an ultrasonic atomizing plate 316. A cold air pump 317 is symmetrically installed on the top side of one side of the water tank 313. The input terminals of the ultrasonic atomizing plate 316 and the cold air pump 317 are electrically connected to the output terminals of an external power supply. The ultrasonic atomizing plate 316 and the cold air pump 317 are located on both sides of the water filter screen 315 to ensure the normal operation of the ultrasonic atomizing plate 316 and the cold air pump 317. The air outlet of the cold air pump 317 is connected to an air supply pipe 318, which is connected to one end of the top half-pipe 308. A condensate pipe 319 is symmetrically installed on the top of the water tank 313, and the condensate pipe 319 is connected to the condenser pipe 214.

[0051] The working principle and usage process of this invention: The red-hot steel strip flowing out from the bottom of the crystallizer enters between the guide rollers 1. One end of the water supply pipe 216 is connected to the cold water pipe, and cold water is sent to the heat exchange pipe 205. Due to the obstruction of the baffle plate 222, part of the water passes through the one-way valve 208 and then enters the spray pipe 206 along the one-way hose 207. The other part of the water passes through the arc-shaped water distribution pipe 217 and enters the spray pipe 206 through the electric flow limiting valve 219 and is sprayed to the outside of the red-hot steel strip to cool the red-hot steel strip. The water quickly evaporates into water vapor.

[0052] Then, the heat pump 213 is started, drawing air from the negative pressure box 209 through the negative pressure hole 211. High-temperature water vapor enters the steam pipe 204 through the air filter 210 and is then transported to the heat exchange tube 205 by the heat pump 213. At this time, the water between the water supply pipe 216 and the baffle plate 222 exchanges heat through the condenser branch pipe 215. The water vapor in the condenser tube 214 condenses into water droplets, and the water in the heat exchange tube 205 between the water supply pipe 216 and the baffle plate 222 is heated. The water sprayed from the water pipe 206 above the baffle plate 222 is at a lower temperature, while the water sprayed from the water pipe 206 below the baffle plate 222 is at a higher temperature. This ensures that the upper guide roller 1 cools down more and the lower guide roller 1 cools down less, thus avoiding the problem of cracking on the outside of the red-hot steel due to excessive temperature difference. This results in better cooling effect and reduces steam overflow, making it easier to check the condition of the outside of the continuously cast iron. The steam can be condensed and recovered for continued use, saving water resources.

[0053] Next, the electromagnet 221 is activated. The electromagnet 221 attracts the baffle plate 222 inside the heat exchange tube 205. The bottom slide plate 224 and the top slide plate 225 slide along the inside of the heat exchange tube 205. The rolling rod 227 rolls along the top surface of the top slide plate 225 to adjust the position of the baffle plate 222, thereby changing the ratio of water entering the heat exchange tube 205 and the arc-shaped water distribution pipe 217, and changing the ratio of high and low temperature water sprayed to the outside of the red-hot steel. This allows for adjustment according to different needs to achieve a better cooling effect.

[0054] During the water spraying process, the electric actuator 230 is activated, which pulls the slider 228 to slide along the guide hole 229, thereby adjusting the distance between the water spray pipe 206 and the outside of the steel, adjusting the area of ​​water spraying, and further improving the effect of steel cooling and forming.

[0055] During normal operation, the spring 309 inside the flexible connecting pipe 310 automatically pulls the half-pipes 308 closer together, thereby bringing the outer scraper 302 and the inner scraper 304 closer to the guide roller 1. The condensed water flows along the condenser pipe 214 and enters the condensate pipe 319. The water in the condensate pipe 319 enters the bottom of the water tank 313 after being filtered by the filter screen 315. The heat insulation film 314 reduces the impact of high external temperatures on the water tank 313, making the water temperature in the water tank 313 lower. Then, the ultrasonic atomizing plate 316 is activated, followed by the cold air pump 317. The water mist is guided by the cold air pump 317 and enters the space formed by the arc-shaped baffle 301, the outer scraper 302, and the side plate 201 through the air supply pipe 318. The water vapor is sprayed onto the outside of the guide roller 1 and flows along the partition 303 to the guide hole 305, then to the lower partition 303. It flows in a curved path and contacts the outside of the guide roller 1, wetting the guide roller 1 to cool it down. This also facilitates the outer scraper 302 and inner scraper 304 to scrape off the debris attached to the outside of the guide roller 1. The water vapor is cleaned while cooling down. The heated water vapor continues to enter the lower half pipe 308 along the connecting pipe 311 to clean and cool down the lower guide roller 1. After cleaning the bottom guide roller 1, the water vapor enters the water tank 313 along the residual water pipe 312. Some water vapor overflows from the top of the water tank 313, while some water vapor continues to mix with the condensate flowing down the condensate pipe 319 for the next cleaning and cooling operation.

[0056] In the overall operation, the water flow regulating component 2 collects water vapor, reducing water vapor for easier observation while saving water resources, and regulates the water temperature to change the temperature difference between the water temperature and the outside of the cast iron, thereby improving the molding effect. The condensed water is then used for the steam cleaning component 3, saving water resources while cleaning and cooling the guide roller 1, further improving the molding effect of the cast iron.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
