Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical machinery, and specifically relates to a guide column type hanging plate type fan-shaped section for a small cross section billet continuous casting machine. Background Technology

[0002] The roll gap control precision of the sector section of a slab continuous casting machine is one of the core elements to ensure the final high-quality continuously cast slab. Center segregation and porosity defects formed during the solidification process of the slab are key issues affecting the internal quality of the steel. These internal defects significantly impair the final performance of the steel, leading to a series of serious quality problems. For example, center segregation disrupts the uniformity of the steel composition, thereby weakening its ductility and increasing the risk of brittle fracture during processing or under stress. Simultaneously, it negatively impacts the weldability of the steel, reducing the strength and toughness of welded joints. More seriously, segregated regions often accumulate harmful elements, which significantly reduces the steel's resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), easily inducing catastrophic failure in harsh service environments such as those containing sulfur-containing oil and gas. Therefore, effectively suppressing or eliminating center segregation and porosity in the slab is crucial for improving the overall performance and reliability of the final steel product.

[0003] However, when using existing sector-shaped sections for light reduction technology, its effectiveness in improving center segregation and porosity defects in the cast billet is often unsatisfactory. This is mainly because conventional sector-shaped sections have inherent limitations in terms of roll gap setting accuracy, dynamic adjustment capability, and equipment rigidity. The roll gap value often fluctuates or fails to meet extremely high precision requirements, and it is difficult to achieve truly "gap-free" support during the casting flow propagation process, resulting in insufficient and unstable compaction at the solidification end of the cast billet. The reduction amount in light reduction is usually small, which is insufficient to compensate for the large voids generated in the center of the cast billet during solidification shrinkage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a guide column type hanging plate fan-shaped section for a small cross-section slab continuous casting machine. This device measures the extension and retraction of the inlet and outlet clamping cylinders at the first and last rolls using displacement sensors, and achieves precise control of the roll gap through a roll gap adjuster. Then, for different steel grades, a large reduction is applied at the end of the slab solidification process, which significantly reduces center segregation and porosity defects in the slab, improves the internal quality of the slab and the flaw detection pass rate of the rolled plate, and effectively reduces the rolling compression ratio.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: a guide column type hanging plate fan-shaped section for a small cross-section slab continuous casting machine, comprising an upper frame, a lower frame, a movable beam, a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, a pressing mechanism, guide wheels, and a hanging plate. The movable beam is located in the middle of the upper frame. Pressing mechanisms are respectively provided at both ends of the upper part of the upper frame. The pressing mechanisms are connected to the upper frame and the movable beam respectively by bolts. A first clamping mechanism and a second clamping mechanism are respectively provided on both sides of the pressing mechanism.

The bearing seat of the lower free roller is provided with a set of gaskets and a lower free roller water receiving plate. The set of gaskets and the lower free roller water receiving plate are respectively connected to the lower frame body by bolts.

[0008] The movable beam includes a movable beam body, a drive roller, a first sliding plate, a second sliding plate, a third sliding plate, and a drive roller water receiving plate. The bottom of the bearing seat of the drive roller is provided with a set of gaskets and a drive roller water receiving plate. The set of gaskets and the drive roller water receiving plate are respectively connected to the movable beam body by bolts.

[0009] The first clamping mechanism includes a sensor upper cover, a displacement sensor, a sensor lower cover, a locking nut, a pull rod, a clamping hydraulic cylinder, a clamping mechanism long slide plate, a guide post, a magnetic ring, and auxiliary components. The clamping mechanism long slide plate and the guide post are arranged sequentially on the outer side of the middle part of the pull rod, and the displacement sensor is arranged on the upper end of the pull rod.
