Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel plate production and casting, and in particular to a dry continuous casting roller for continuous casting of wide and thick slabs and an assembly method thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] With the continuous development of my country's shipbuilding, wind power manufacturing and other industries, the demand for high-performance steel is growing, especially the demand for wide and thick slabs. As an important category of steel products, the production technology of wide and thick slabs is particularly critical, and continuous casting technology plays a vital role in the production process of wide and thick slabs. Wide and thick slab continuous casting technology can not only improve the adaptability of steel production, especially to meet the high requirements for steel in special fields, but also effectively improve production efficiency. The continuous development of continuous casting technology is of great significance to improving the automation level and product quality of steel production.

[0003] However, as the thickness of the slab increases, the technical challenges faced in the continuous casting process of wide and thick slabs are also intensifying. Traditional continuous casting technology cannot simply increase the width of the continuous casting roller to solve the problem. Slab thickening brings many technical difficulties:

[0004] 1. Straightening becomes more difficult: As the thickness of the slab increases, its deformation, strength and hardness increase accordingly, and the difficulty of the straightening process increases significantly. Especially in the later cooling stage, thicker slabs may cause higher stress and hardness, increasing the mechanical burden during the straightening process.

[0005] 2. Increased difficulty in controlling cooling speed: The cooling speed of thick slabs directly affects the microstructure and final performance of the steel plate. Too fast a cooling speed may cause excessive stress inside the slab, thus causing cracks or affecting its strength and toughness. Therefore, how to effectively control the cooling speed and ensure product quality becomes a major challenge.

[0006] 3. Increased roller wear: Thick slabs cause more severe wear on the continuous casting rollers, especially in the area where the roller surface contacts the billet. Roller surface wear not only directly affects the service life of the roller, but may also lead to a decrease in the surface quality of the billet, increasing the maintenance frequency and cost during the production process.

[0007] Based on these technical challenges, the use of spray water in the straightening and leveling stages of wide and thick slab production needs to be reduced or eliminated to improve slab quality and heat transfer rolling efficiency. Using dry continuous casting rolls as one of the solutions can effectively reduce stress problems caused by excessive cooling speed, avoid cracks that may be caused by traditional water cooling methods, and reduce environmental pollution during the production process.

[0008] The dry continuous casting rollers do not rely on external water sources for cooling, but achieve roller surface cooling through the internal cooling structure design. This technological innovation can effectively reduce the adverse effects of excessive cooling on the ingot. Furthermore, the dry continuous casting rollers can apply a large amount of pressure reduction to the high-temperature ingot in the secondary cooling zone, which is crucial for solving the internal defects of the ingot and improving the mechanical properties of the steel plate. In addition, through simulation research, the cooling method of the dry continuous casting rollers can keep the rollers working at a lower temperature, thereby increasing the service life of the rollers and reducing the occurrence of cracks on the surface of the ingot.

[0009] Although dry continuous casting rollers are generally considered to have significant advantages in the production of wide and thick slabs, their practical application still faces some technical difficulties:

[0010] 1. Poor cooling effect of the internal cooling water system: At present, many dry continuous casting rollers still rely on complex internal cooling water systems, but the cooling effect is often not ideal, and the production process is relatively complex and the cost is high. The traditional internal cooling water system usually uses a spiral groove machined on the mandrel to form an internal cooling system with the roller sleeve. However, this design has a small heat exchange area and is far away from the roller surface, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency, making it difficult to effectively meet the production needs of large-size, high-performance steel.

[0011] 2. Inadequate design of the sealing system: The sealing system of the dry continuous casting roller has obvious deficiencies. In actual use, the assembly gap between the roller sleeve and the mandrel may cause periodic shaking during operation, causing the sealing ring on the guide ring to fail prematurely, resulting in serious water leakage. This not only reduces the sealing effect, but also may cause uneven cooling, affecting the working performance and service life of the roller.

[0012] 3. Problems with the fit between the mandrel and the roller sleeve: The fit between the mandrel and the roller sleeve requires high precision. The traditional interference fit (0.694-0.786mm) is difficult to assemble and cannot be disassembled after assembly. During the use of the roller, once it is damaged or needs repair, it is extremely difficult to repair. The mandrel often needs to be sawed off and disassembled using special equipment, resulting in high repair costs, and the mandrel is often not reusable.

[0013] 4. The "dry" effect is not fully realized: Although the dry continuous casting roller is designed without external cooling water, in the actual production process, due to insufficient heat dissipation, it is still necessary to spray water on the roller surface for cooling. This not only increases energy consumption, but also fails to give full play to the advantages of dry continuous casting rollers in energy saving and improving production efficiency.

[0014] For example, the patent with the patent publication number CN113560512B adopts the design of internal cooling water circuit. Although this design attempts to solve the above problems, it still has the following shortcomings: the heat exchange area of ​​the cooling system design of the spiral groove and the roller sleeve is small and far away from the roller surface, resulting in poor heat exchange efficiency and unable to meet the efficient cooling requirements of thick slabs. The assembly structure of this patent is complex, and the interference fit between the roller sleeve and the mandrel is difficult. Once the assembly is completed, it is difficult to disassemble, which affects the subsequent maintenance and repair. Due to the imperfect design of the water cooling system, the selection of the interference fit amount is very critical. If the interference fit amount is too large, it will be impossible to disassemble and scale will accumulate; if the interference fit amount is too small, it may cause water leakage in the water cooling system.

[0015] Therefore, how to improve cooling efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and improve product quality while ensuring the efficient operation of dry continuous casting rollers has become a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in the current wide and thick slab production field. [Summary of the invention]

[0038] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0039] 1. The present invention improves the design of the cooling system. The present invention arranges heat dissipation cooling grooves on the roller sleeve so that the coolant can be more evenly distributed on the roller surface, significantly improving the cooling effect and effectively meeting the production needs of wide and thick slab steel. The dry continuous casting roller of the present invention has significantly enhanced high temperature resistance, which slows down the wear rate of the roller during high-temperature continuous casting, thereby extending the service life of the continuous casting roller, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and significantly reducing the maintenance cost in production; there is no need to spray water on the surface for cooling, which reduces the generation of surface cracks on the casting billet and makes production more environmentally friendly.

[0041] The present invention optimizes the matching mode between the mandrel and the roller sleeve, adopts a unique semicircular keyway and a small interference fit, avoids the complexity and precision problems of the mandrel segment assembly in the prior art, and reduces the difficulty of the mandrel in the processing process. Compared with the traditional segmented assembly mandrel, the mandrel structure of the present invention is more stable, can withstand high loads under harsh working conditions, and avoids the risk of deformation and breakage caused by multi-segment assembly.

[0042] 3. In the matching of the roller sleeve and the core shaft, the present invention combines a small interference fit with an innovative key assembly component design to ensure efficient and stable power transmission between the roller core and the roller sleeve, and effectively prevent leakage of cooling liquid. In addition, this optimized design also makes the power transmission of the roller more stable and reliable, reduces mechanical wear, and increases the service life of the equipment. A semicircular keyway is set at the matching position of the roller sleeve and the core shaft, and each roller sleeve is equipped with a concentric keyway design. Such a design not only ensures a tight fit between the roller core and the roller sleeve, but also makes the disassembly process easier. Especially in the repair process after the continuous casting roller is retired, the small interference fit achieves easier disassembly and reinstallation than the large interference fit of the prior art. The present invention sets the heat dissipation cooling groove on the roller sleeve, which is very easy to clean scale after disassembly, and the maintenance is simple and efficient.

[0043] 4. The assembly and disassembly process of the dry continuous casting rollers is simplified, avoiding the high maintenance costs and long downtime caused by the difficulty of assembly in traditional technologies. The maintenance and replacement of the rollers become more convenient through the detachable structural design, further improving the operating efficiency of the production equipment and the overall efficiency of the production line.
