Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical cooling, in particular to a cooling device for continuous casting. Background Art

[0002] In continuous casting production, the cooling bed mainly relies on natural cooling, that is, placing the high-temperature ingot on the cooling bed and reducing the ingot temperature through natural convection and heat radiation of the air. This method has low cooling efficiency and the ingot stays on the cooling bed for a long time, which limits production efficiency and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency continuous casting production.

[0003] Some existing cooling measures for continuous casting cooling beds have their own disadvantages. For example, in spray cooling, the nozzles are easily clogged by impurities and scale in the water, resulting in uneven spraying, which affects the quality of the ingots. Frequent maintenance is required, which has high manpower and material costs. Poor water quality will also cause scaling on the surface of the ingots, interfering with the cooling of the ingots. Water-cooled pipe cooling has the risk of water leakage. Once leaked, it will damage the equipment and affect the ingots. In addition, the supporting equipment is complicated and requires a large investment. The operation of the water pump will also increase energy consumption. Air cooling technology is affected by the external temperature and the temperature control is unstable. Uneven airflow can easily cause local hot spots in the ingots, damaging the ingot products. In addition, the fan has a loud operating noise, which interferes with the working environment.

The heat absorbing plate in the high thermal conductivity plate is placed in close contact with the cooling bed to absorb heat from the cooling bed, and then the heat is conducted to the phase change layer arranged in the phase change box through the heat transfer plate, so that the phase change layer composed of the phase change material stores and absorbs heat, thereby transferring the heat from the cooling bed, and then cooling the cast embryo on the continuous casting cooling bed.

[0020] 4.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The phase change layer 5 is evenly distributed around the heat transfer plate 12, and the heat spreader 12 is tightly abutted against the phase change layer 5, ensuring that the heat transfer plate 12 can transfer heat to each phase change layer 5 at a height level in the phase change box 3.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, the phase change layer 5 includes a first phase change layer 51, a second phase change layer 52 and a third phase change layer 53; the first phase change layer 51 is arranged below the second phase change layer 52, and the first phase change layer 51 is closely abutted against the second phase change layer 52; the second phase change layer 52 is arranged below the third phase change layer 53; and the second phase change layer 52 is closely abutted against the third phase change layer 53, the first phase change layer 51 is closely abutted against the bottom end of the heat transfer plate 12, the second phase change layer 52 is closely abutted against the middle section of the heat transfer plate 12, and the third phase change layer 53 is closely abutted against the bottom end of the heat transfer plate 12, the second phase change layer 52 is closely abutted against the middle section of the heat transfer plate 12, and the third phase change layer 53 is closely abutted against the bottom end of the heat transfer plate 12.

[0044] The third phase change layer 53 will gradually melt when the temperature reaches 100°C to 150°C, and while absorbing and storing heat, it can better conduct heat to the second phase change layer 52. In this embodiment, the ceramic layer used as the second phase change layer 52 has a heat storage density that is usually much higher than that of traditional sensible heat storage materials, which can reach more than 100 kJ / kg, so that the second phase change layer 52 can efficiently absorb and store heat, and the risk of collision damage to the ceramic layer can be reduced by the first phase change layer 51 composed of a high-temperature resistant silicone layer, thereby maximizing the benefit of the overall phase change layer 5. The high-temperature resistant silicone in this embodiment has good flexibility and processability, and is easy to be made into products of various shapes and sizes, such as blocks, which can better adapt to the application in this scenario, facilitate close fitting with the second phase change layer, and improve heat transfer efficiency.

[0046] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, a baffle plate 32 is disposed at the top of the phase change box 3, the number of baffle plates 32 is 2, and two baffle plates 32 are disposed on both sides of the phase change box 3, and the baffle plates 32 fit with the sealing mechanism 2 to ensure the stability of the connection between the sealing mechanism 2 and the phase change box 3.

[0047] like Figure 6As shown, the sealing mechanism 2 includes a strip elastic body 21, a first cavity 22, a second cavity 23 and a high temperature resistant magnetic strip 24; the upper surface of the strip elastic body 21 is tightly abutted against the heat absorbing plate 11, the first cavity 22 is arranged at the center of the strip elastic body 21, and the first cavity 22 is engaged with the top end port of the phase change box 3, the number of the second cavities 23 is 2, the two second cavities 23 are arranged on both sides of the first cavity 22, and the second cavity 23 is engaged with the baffle plate 32, the number of the high temperature resistant magnetic strips 24 is 2, and the two high temperature resistant magnetic strips 24 are respectively arranged at both ends of the strip elastic body 21 in the horizontal direction, the high temperature resistant magnetic strip 24 is connected to the strip elastic body 21, and the high temperature resistant magnetic strip 24 is adsorbed on the inner and outer sides of the top end port of the phase change box 3, so that when the high thermal conductivity plate 1 is pressed on the sealing structure 2, the sealing structure 2 plays a sealing role on the phase change box 3.

[0049] (I) Working principle and usage:

[0050] 1. Working Principle

[0051] Heat conduction: The heat of the continuous casting cooling bed is transferred to the top of the high heat conductivity plate 1, absorbed by the heat absorbing plate 11, and then efficiently and evenly conducted to the phase change layer 5 in the phase change box 3 by means of a plurality of spaced thin plate-shaped heat transfer plates 12;

[0052] Phase change heat storage: The phase change layer 5 includes the first, second and third phase change layers. Different phase change layers are made of different materials, namely, a high temperature resistant silica gel layer, a ceramic layer and a sodium nitrate-urea eutectic mixture layer. When the third phase change layer (sodium nitrate-urea eutectic mixture layer) is heated to 100°C to 150°C, it absorbs heat and gradually melts from a solid state to a liquid state, transferring the heat to the ceramic layer more fully. The ceramic layer can directly absorb the heat from the cooling bed from the heat transfer plate 12, or absorb the heat through the third phase change layer 53. While the ceramic layer absorbs heat, the high temperature resistant silica gel absorbs the heat from the heat transfer plate 12. Since both ceramic and high temperature resistant silica gel are solid-solid phase change materials, they are still stored in the phase change box 3 in a solid state after the phase change, and will not mix with the third phase change layer. The heat is stored and transferred in stages through different phase change layers to achieve the purpose of cooling. In addition, the high temperature resistant silica gel layer can also buffer the collision between the second phase change material and the bottom of the phase change box.

[0053] Heat dissipation assistance: a ventilation net 31 is provided at the bottom of the first phase change layer 51, which is connected to the atmosphere and is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the high-temperature resistant silicone; an alloy net is provided at the bottom of the movable vehicle plate 4 for ventilation, and the ventilation net helps the overall heat dissipation. In addition, the phase change box 3 made of aluminum alloy is also beneficial to the heat dissipation of the phase change box 3.

[0054] 2. Usage:

[0055] Place the phase change box 3 on the mobile vehicle plate 4, use the enclosure 43 of the mobile vehicle plate 4 to stabilize the phase change box 3, and use the universal wheels 44 and the push-pull handle 45 to conveniently transfer the entire device; when in use, place the upper surface of the heat absorbing plate 11 close to the lower surface of the continuous casting cooling bed, and the phase change layer 5 can spontaneously start the cooling process.

[0056] It should be noted that before the cooling device of the present invention is placed on the lower surface of the cooling bed, some space height needs to be reserved so that the cooling device of the present invention can move freely under the cooling bed. After reaching the preset position, the cooling device of the present invention can be raised again by any method, such as by using a hydraulic device to raise it, by using objects to raise it, etc. This is not a technical difficulty that needs to be overcome in the present invention.

[0057] (II) Comparison of trial experimental data:

[0058] 1. Cooling batch statistics:

[0059] Test 1. In this test, a flat cooling bed was used, and the cooling bed area was divided into three groups: A, B, and C. Carbon steel ingots with a size of 200 mm were cooled. Three days was a statistical node, and statistics were conducted three times. The cooling bed worked continuously, and the cooling batches of each group of cooling beds were counted. The test data are shown in Table 1:

[0060] Table 1

[0061]

[0062] Experiment 2. On the basis of Experiment 1, a continuous casting cooling device in Example 1 was installed to cool down the three groups of regional cooling beds A, B, and C under the same conditions. The experimental data are shown in Table 2:

[0063] Table 2

[0064]

[0065] It can be seen that the installation of a continuous casting cooling device in the present invention effectively improves the cooling efficiency of the cooling bed, and the cooling batches increased by 180% year-on-year.

[0066] 2. Casting embryo cooling temperature-time statistics

[0067] In the first node, three batches of cast embryos from Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 of Group A were randomly selected for timed temperature measurement. The cast embryos from Experiment 1 were selected, and their temperature-time data are shown in Table 3:

[0068] Table 3

[0069]

[0070] The temperature-time data of the casting embryo in Experiment 2 are shown in Table 4:

[0071] Table 4

[0072]

[0073] It can be seen that, especially in the first two hours, the cooling rate of the casting embryo after adopting the cooling device of the present invention is significantly higher than the cooling rate of the casting embryo by natural cooling. Subsequently, because the phase change layer has stored a certain amount of heat, the cooling rate slows down, but gradually stabilizes.

[0074] In summary, the present invention can achieve effective cooling of the continuous casting cooling bed in an energy-saving, environmentally friendly and low-cost manner. Phase change material is a new type of material at the current research and development level, and is currently blank in the field of continuous casting cooling devices. The present invention cleverly uses the high thermal conductivity plate 1 to transfer the heat of the cooling bed to the phase change layer 5 composed of phase change material through the combination of structure, phase change material and high thermal conductivity material, which has great industrial significance and market prospects.

[0075] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention, and any reference numerals in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.

[0076] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
