Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of continuous casting stopper rods, in particular to an anti-explosion stopper rod without argon blowing holes. Background Art

[0002] Continuous casting of three major parts, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a long nozzle for continuous casting, an integral stopper rod and an immersed nozzle, which are used to connect the ladle, the tundish and the crystallizer in a trinity, play a role in controlling and guiding the molten steel, preventing the secondary oxidation of the molten steel, and realizing continuous casting.

[0003] At present, the integral stopper rod is mainly composed of the stopper rod and the cavity inside it, and is divided into argon-blown hole type stopper rod and non-argon-blown hole type stopper rod according to whether there is an argon-blown hole on the head of the stopper rod; the argon-blown hole type stopper rod or the non-argon-blown hole type stopper rod is located in the tundish and its head is immersed in the molten steel, mainly to control and adjust the flow rate of molten steel; among them, the gas in the cavity of the non-argon-blown hole type stopper rod cannot be discharged, and the stopper rod may crack or even explode due to the expansion of the gas (the stopper rod itself has an extremely low temperature due to the ambient temperature, and the inside of the stopper rod is hollow, which will store cold air. The stored cold air is the same as the room temperature. During the high-temperature baking of the steel plant and normal use, there will be a large temperature difference between extremely cold and extremely hot in an instant. The stopper rod will crack or even explode due to the instantaneous expansion of the gas). The explosion of the stopper rod immersed in the molten steel will cause molten steel splashing, serious personal safety accidents and serious production quality accidents. The temperature in northern steel mills can even drop below minus 30 degrees Celsius in winter, while the baking temperature and operating temperature of the stopper rod are above 1200 degrees Celsius and 1500 degrees Celsius respectively, making explosion accidents more likely to occur.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the market usually improves the strength and thermal stability of the clay to avoid the cracking problem caused by temperature difference. However, when the baking temperature is too high, the plug rod is still at risk of cracking or even exploding.

[0005] Therefore, how to design an anti-explosion plug rod without an argon blowing hole is a problem that those skilled in the art need to solve urgently. Utility Model Content

[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0009] 1. By providing an exhaust hole connected to the empty groove on the outer side wall of the stopper rod body, when the air in the empty groove expands, the expanded gas can be quickly discharged to avoid the danger of cracks or even explosion of the stopper rod body caused by the expanded air, thereby improving the safety of the stopper rod body;

[0010] 2.
