DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the utility model discloses a steel flow control device, including a closed housing. The structure of the closed housing is required for all steel flow control devices, specifically: the closed housing includes an upper cover plate 1, a middle plate 2 and a lower cover plate 3, the end of the middle plate 2 is provided with a hinge 10, the hinge 10 is respectively connected to the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 3, the upper cover plate 1 can be covered on the middle plate 2 through the hinge 10, the middle plate 2 is a hollow structure, and a sealing ring 11 is provided on the middle plate 2 and between the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 3, the upper cover plate 1, the middle plate 2 and The lower cover plate 3 is evenly arranged with locking nails around it. There may be 4 locking nails distributed on the four corners. The locking nails penetrate the upper cover plate 1, the middle plate 2 and the lower cover plate 3 to achieve locking and fixing. The three can be compressed by locking with the locking nails. At the same time, a sealing ring 11 is provided. When the third party is compressed, the internal sealing state can be guaranteed. The upper cover plate 1 is embedded with an air intake pipeline, which is used to flush argon into the sealed cavity during operation to ensure that the molten steel entering the interior is more stable and prevent internal oxidation. The above structure is a general structure and will not be further described in this application.

[0023] In the present invention, a sliding plate 4 is provided in the closed shell, and the sliding plate 4 is pressed on the lower cover plate 3 at the bottom. Since the parts in contact with the molten steel in the cavity are consumables, fixed blocks (not shown in the drawings) are provided at the top and bottom of the closed shell. Both the fixed block and the sliding block are made of refractory materials, and their fixing methods are consistent, and are consistent with the positioning structure of the middle block 7, and can be replaced, that is: Figure 6As shown, a positioning groove 6 is provided at the center of the sliding plate 4, and an intermediate block 7 is provided in the positioning groove 6. Corresponding through holes 8 are provided on the fixed block and the intermediate block 7, and the through holes 8 are used for the passage of molten steel. The end of the intermediate block 7 is pressed on the end of the positioning groove 6, and the shape of the end of the positioning groove 6 is consistent with the end of the intermediate block 7 and is pressed tightly, and a U-shaped clamping block 9 is provided between the other end of the intermediate block 7 and the positioning groove 6. The positioning rod 5 is threadedly connected and passes through the sliding plate 4 and is pressed on the U-shaped clamping block 9, so that the U-shaped clamping block and the intermediate block 7 are pressed and positioned, and the opening of the U-shaped clamping block 9 is pressed on the intermediate block 7 to achieve positioning, so as to ensure that the molten steel passes through with a large pressure to prevent deviation, and it is also easy to replace. In order to ensure the stability of the push of the U-shaped clamping block 9, a positioning strip 18 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 6, and the two sides of the U-shaped clamping block 9 are clamped on the positioning strip 18.

[0024] The end of the sliding plate 4 is provided with a positioning rod 5 extending from the side wall of the closed shell and is connected to a power device, which can be a hydraulic cylinder. When the hydraulic cylinder pushes the positioning rod 5, the positioning rod 5 presses the U-shaped block 9, and further pushes the middle block 7 to achieve positioning. When it is necessary to replace the middle block 7 or the upper and lower fixed blocks, it is only necessary to loosen the U-shaped block 9, and the replacement is extremely convenient.

[0025] Its working method is: the molten steel is introduced through the upper cover, passes through the upper fixed block, the middle block 7 and the lower fixed block, and finally discharged from the outlet of the lower cover plate 3, and the sliding plate 4 is pushed by the hydraulic tool. The side wall of the sliding plate 4 is connected with a positioning bolt 16, and the middle plate 2 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 17. The positioning bolt 16 is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 17. The sliding path of the sliding plate 4 is determined by the positioning bolt 16. The flow rate of the molten steel is adjusted by adjusting the overlap of the middle block 7 and the through hole 8 on the fixed block. A sealing plug can be set on the waist-shaped hole 17 to seal it, or the waist-shaped hole 17 can be set to a non-perforated design.

[0026] When the device is working, it is extremely important to increase the pressure between the upper and lower cover plates 3 and the middle block 7 and the fixed block to prevent the molten steel from flowing out from between the sliding block and the fixed block. Therefore, a clamping mechanism is provided on both sides of the middle plate 2. The clamping mechanism includes a pull ear hole 12. The lower part of the pull ear hole 12 protrudes from the middle plate 2. A spring 13 is provided in the pull ear hole 12. A clamping bolt 14 passes through the center of the spring 13. The clamping bolt 14 is locked with the pull ear hole 12 by a nut 19. Figure 4As shown, turning the middle plate 2 over can be seen that the ear hole 12 protrudes from the middle plate 2 and is provided with a notch 15, and the edge of the lower cover plate 3 is provided with a protruding block 20, and the protruding block 20 passes through the notch 15 and is pressed on the clamping bolt 14. After the upper and lower cover plates 3 are locked by the locking nails, the protruding block 20 of the lower cover plate 3 is pressed on the clamping bolt 14, and the clamping bolt 14 has the effect of the spring 13. When the clamping bolt 14 is locked, the spring 13 can feedback whether it is tightened to ensure a stable assembly.

[0027] When disassembling and assembling the equipment, when the four locking nails are pulled out, the lower cover plate 3 at the bottom will fall off. In order to prevent convenient operation during the disassembly and assembly process, the outer side of the middle plate 2 is provided with an anti-drop hook 21 movably connected by screws, and the lower cover plate 3 is provided with corresponding anti-drop nails 22. The anti-drop hook 21 is hooked on the anti-drop nail 22. Even if the locking nails are removed, the lower cover plate 3 will be hooked by the anti-drop hook 21 to prevent injuries caused by misoperation.
