In a static state, the top of the crystallizer shell 1 is at the same level as the installation port 31. A water inlet is provided on the side wall of the crystallizer shell 1. The water inlet is connected to the crystallizer shell 1 through a flexible water pipe to supply water. By setting the housing 3 and the servo motor 32, the crystallizer shell 1 can vibrate up and down as a whole to achieve the demoulding effect. By setting an elastic fixing device, the copper tube 2 can be quickly disassembled and installed, shortening the time for replacing the copper tube 2 and improving work efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the first spring 33 is welded to the top of the bottom wall of the shell 3, and the other end of the first spring 33 is welded to the bottom of the crystallizer shell 1; a contact portion 12 is welded to the outer wall of the crystallizer shell 1, and a toggle portion 34 for applying pressure to the contact portion 12 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 32; in this embodiment, the number of the contact portion 12 and the servo motor 32 is two, and the contact portion 12 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the crystallizer shell 1. When the servo motor 32 is started, the toggle portion 34 starts to rotate and toggle the contact portion 12 downward, and the contact portion 12 will drive the crystallizer shell 1 to move downward as a whole. The crystallizer shell 1 will rebound upward under the action of the first spring 33. When the crystallizer shell 1 rebounds to the normal position, the toggle portion 34 will continue to toggle the contact portion 12 downward. At this time, the crystallizer shell 1 will continue to vibrate in the longitudinal direction.

[0027] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting opening 31 extends downward to form a limiting channel 35, and the crystallizer shell 1 can slide in the limiting channel 35; in this embodiment, the limiting channel 35 is a cylindrical channel with upper and lower openings and an inner diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the crystallizer shell 1. By setting the limiting channel 35, support is provided for the crystallizer shell 1 during vibration, so that the crystallizer shell 1 will not be offset during the vibration process.

[0028] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the elastic fixing device includes a second cover body 41, a second spring 42 and a limit plate 43; an annular flange larger than the inner diameter of the top opening is formed on the top of the crystallizer shell 1, and the second cover body 41 is covered inside the annular flange, and a mounting hole 44 is provided on the top of the second cover body 41, and a receiving groove 45 communicating with the mounting hole 44 is provided inside the second cover body 41, and a limit plate 43 is arranged in the receiving groove 45, and one end of the second spring 42 is welded on the side wall of the limit plate 43, and the other end of the second spring 42 is welded on the inner wall of the receiving groove 45; a through groove 46 is provided on the top of the receiving groove 45, and the top of the limit plate 43 extends into the through groove 46 and forms a slider 431; a fixing hole 21 matched with the limit plate 43 is provided on the side wall of the copper tube 2; in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the annular flange is larger than the inner diameter of the crystallizer shell 1, and the second cover body 41 is covered in the annular flange and pressed on the top of the side wall of the crystallizer shell 1. By setting the limiting plate 43 and the second spring 42, the copper tube 2 can be fixed by the limiting plate 43 in the mounting hole 44. When in use, the slider 431 in the through groove 46 is slid to make the limiting plate 43 return to the receiving groove 45 and compress the second spring 42, and the copper tube 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 44. When the copper tube 2 reaches the predetermined position, the limiting plate 43 will extend from the receiving groove 45 under the push of the second spring 42 and be inserted into the fixing hole 21 on the side wall of the copper tube 2.

[0032] First, install the second cover 41 to the opening at the top of the crystallizer shell 1, slide the slider 431 in the through groove 46, return the limit plate 43 to the receiving groove 45 and compress the second spring 42, insert the copper tube 2 into the installation hole 44, and when the copper tube 2 reaches the predetermined position, the limit plate 43 will extend from the receiving groove 45 under the push of the second spring 42 and be inserted into the fixing hole 21 on the side wall of the copper tube 2;

[0033] Secondly, the first cover 5 is fastened to the second cover 41 and the top of the copper tube 2 by bolts;

[0034] Finally, the servo motor 32 is started, and the shifting part 34 starts to rotate and shifts the contact part 12 downward, and the contact part 12 will drive the crystallizer shell 1 to move downward as a whole, and the crystallizer shell 1 will rebound upward under the action of the first spring 33. When the crystallizer shell 1 rebounds to the normal position, the shifting part 34 will continue to shift the contact part 12 downward, and the crystallizer shell 1 will continue to vibrate in the longitudinal direction; when the crystallizer shell 1 is upward, the bonding part and the crystallizer shell 1 rise together, the slab is pulled apart, and the unsolidified molten steel immediately fills the fracture and begins to form a new solidification layer; when the crystallizer shell 1 vibrates downward and the vibration speed is greater than the billet drawing speed, the slab is under pressure, the cracks are healed and reconnected, and the slab is forced to eliminate bonding.
