Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of measurement technology, and in particular to a method for offline arc alignment of a support frame for continuous casting of irregularly shaped billets. Background Technology

[0002] The centering device for the sector section of a special-shaped billet continuous casting machine of Baogang adopts the patent number 202320409455.3 "A Centering Device for the Sector Section of a Composite Continuous Casting Machine" developed by China Metallurgical Jingcheng Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. This centering device adjusts the elevation of the first and last rolls of the sector section by placing the first and last roll measuring frames on the support seats of the first and last roll measuring frames. The main drawback is that the height of the first and last roll measuring frames is relatively high, and even a slight tilt of the support seats of the first and last roll measuring frames will cause the measurement error to be amplified. This method cannot meet the standard adjustment accuracy requirements for the arc sector section.

[0003] Comparative Data 1: A Multifunctional Fan-Shaped Segment Alignment Platform

[0004] This utility model relates to a multifunctional fan-shaped segment centering platform. The centering platform includes a centering platform pit, a centering platform reference frame, and an arc-shaped ruler reference frame. The centering platform reference frame is provided with an arc-shaped centering reference support and a flat centering reference support. A water distribution plate is symmetrically arranged on the outer sides of the two centering platform reference frames, with a water inlet on the water distribution plate and an inlet pipe connected to the outside of the water distribution plate. A water collection pit is provided inside the centering platform pit, and a submersible pump is installed in the water collection pit. The drain pipe of the submersible pump leads to a trench. This utility model combines the fan-shaped segment centering platform and the test platform into one, reducing the workload of workers and improving work efficiency. However, it is not suitable for the adjustment and measurement of the fan-shaped segment of our continuous casting machine.

[0005] Comparative Data 2: A centering device for the sector section of a composite continuous casting machine

[0006] This utility model discloses a centering device for the sector section of a composite continuous casting machine, belonging to the field of continuous casting machine technology. To solve the problem of low roller centering adjustment efficiency in the middle sector section of existing composite continuous casting machines, the centering device for the sector section includes: a sector section support (1), a measuring frame support (2), and an arc template assembly (3). The measuring frame support (2) includes a final roll measuring frame support (21) and a first roll measuring frame support (22). A final roll measuring frame (23) is installed on the final roll measuring frame support (21), and a first roll measuring frame (24) is installed on the first roll measuring frame support (22). This device saves the clamping time required for various tooling and measuring instruments in the prior art for centering adjustment. The main drawback is that the height of the first and final roll measuring frames is relatively high, and even a slight tilt of the first and final roll measuring frame support will amplify the measurement error. This method cannot meet the standard adjustment accuracy requirements for the arc sector section.

[0007] Comparative Data 3: A centering device for the sector section of a non-standard billet continuous casting machine

[0008] This utility model discloses a centering device for the sector section of a shaped billet continuous casting machine, belonging to the field of continuous casting machine technology. To solve the problem of low roller centering adjustment efficiency in the existing sector section of shaped billet continuous casting machines, the centering device for the sector section includes: a sector section support (1), an arc template assembly (2), and a template support seat (3). When the arc template assembly (2) passes through the billet channel (51) of the sector section (5), both the front and rear ends of the arc template assembly (2) are located outside the sector section (5), and there is a gap between the arc template assembly (2) and the support roller (52) of the sector section (5), which can be measured. The centering device for the sector section of the shaped billet continuous casting machine can simultaneously center the eight rollers of the sector section, is simple to operate, and can improve centering efficiency. However, it is not suitable for the adjustment and measurement of the sector section of our continuous casting machine. Summary of the Invention
