Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of continuous casting equipment, and in particular relates to a continuous casting ingot starter head and an ingot starter structure. Background Art
[0002] Continuous casting is a casting process in which molten steel continuously passes through the continuous casting machine crystallizer, solidifies into a hard shell, and is continuously pulled out from the crystallizer outlet, and is cut into billets after being cooled and solidified. The full-arc billet continuous casting machine is equipped with a rigid dummy bar system. Figure 1 The ingot dummy structure shown in the figure comprises an ingot dummy head 1 and an ingot dummy rod 2. The ingot dummy head 1 is provided with a groove 3 and a pin hole 4. The groove 3 is open to the bottom and front end of the ingot dummy head 1. The pin hole 4 can pass through the groove 3 when horizontally penetrating the ingot dummy head 1. The ingot dummy rod 2 is provided with a baffle 6. After the ingot dummy rod 2 is placed in the groove 3 through the lower opening, the tail 202 of the ingot dummy rod can be limited by the step in the groove 3 to limit the forward and backward movement of the ingot dummy rod 2. The head 201 of the ingot dummy rod can pass through the groove 3 and extend out of the ingot dummy head 1. The baffle 6 can block the groove 3. The front end opening is provided with a straight metal pin 5 which passes through the pin hole 4 and is placed under the dummy rod 2 to limit the downward movement of the dummy rod 2. The dummy rod 2 can be assembled on the dummy head 1. When the dummy structure is used, the dummy rod 2 and the dummy head 1 are sent into the crystallizer and the lower mouth of the crystallizer is sealed. The tail end of the dummy head 1 is connected with a traction device. After pouring, as the molten steel injected into the crystallizer solidifies and solidifies into one with the dummy structure, the ingot can be continuously pulled out of the lower mouth of the crystallizer by traction of the dummy structure, and the pin 5 can be automatically pressed off when the dummy is removed.
[0003] Its main defects are: the two ends of the pin hole 4 are open structures. If the pin 5 is short, it is easy to pull off and increase the frequency of steel leakage. If the pin 5 is long, the two ends of the pin 5 are exposed on both sides of the ingot guide head 1. During the process of the ingot guide structure being sent into or pulled out of the crystallizer, the working layer of the copper tube of the crystallizer may be scratched and damaged, affecting the life of the copper tube and the surface quality of the ingot, and even causing steel leakage. The pin 5 needs to be manually knocked to reduce the wear on the end of the pin 5, which makes the labor intensity of workers greater during the removal or installation of the pin 5, and the risk factor of injury is easily increased due to improper operation of employees.

[0035] Embodiment 1:
[0036] In view of the risk of pull-out, steel leakage, mold damage and misoperation caused by the unreasonable structure of the latch hole 4 and the latch 5 in the prior art, it is considered to solve this problem by adding and hiding the structural design of the bent portion 901 of the latch member 9, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a continuous casting ingot starter head described in the utility model is shown, the continuous casting ingot starter head comprises an ingot starter head body 7, the ingot starter head body 7 is provided with a groove 3 and a latch hole 4, the groove 3 is open to the bottom and front end of the ingot starter head body 7, the latch hole 4 penetrates the ingot starter head 1 and passes through the groove 3, and latch grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the ingot starter head body 7, the latch grooves 8 are open to the outside of the ingot starter head 1, the latch grooves 8 are intersected and connected with the latch holes 4, so that the latch member 9 can be limited to the left and right movement of the latch member 9 by the added latch grooves 8, so as to prevent pull-off and steel leakage accidents, and the problem of the latch member 9 scratching the copper tube of the crystallizer during the process of feeding the ingot starter structure into or pulling it out of the crystallizer can be solved by hiding the end of the latch member 9 in the latch groove 8, thereby improving the service life of the copper tube.
[0037] Furthermore, the latch groove 8 is perpendicular to the latch hole 4, which is more convenient for limiting the movement of the latch member 9. The latch groove 8 is connected to one end of the latch hole 4 to simplify the structure of the latch member 9.
[0038] Furthermore, a rounded corner 10 is provided on the edge of the starter head body 7 to further avoid wear on the copper tube.
[0039] Embodiment 2:
[0040] Based on the same concept, Figure 5 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a continuous casting ingot starter structure described in the utility model is shown, and the continuous casting ingot starter structure includes an ingot starter rod 2, a latch member 9 and an ingot starter head body 7 as described in Example 1, and the tail portion 202 of the ingot starter rod can be limitedly matched with the groove 3, and the head portion 201 of the ingot starter rod extends out of the ingot starter head body 7, and the ingot starter rod 2 is provided with a baffle 6 covering the front end opening of the groove 3, and the latch member 9 is placed in the latch hole 4 and located below the ingot starter rod 2, so the ingot starter rod 2 can be restricted from escaping from the opening below the groove 3 by the latch member 9, and the two ends of the latch member 9 are provided with bent portions 901 hidden in the latch groove 8, so the left and right movement of the latch member 9 can be restricted by the bent portion 901.
[0041] When in use, the ingot guide structure is sent into the crystallizer and the lower mouth of the crystallizer is sealed, and the tail end of the ingot guide head body 7 is connected to the traction device. After pouring, as the molten steel injected into the crystallizer solidifies and solidifies into one with the ingot guide structure, the ingot guide structure can be continuously pulled out from the lower mouth of the crystallizer. Since the bend 901 is hidden in the pin groove 8, the surface quality problems of the ingot and production accidents such as steel leakage caused by surface defects of the working layer of the copper tube can be reduced. There is no need for excessive manual knocking, which effectively reduces the risk of injury caused by improper operation of employees during the removal or installation of the pin part 9 of the ingot guide head body 7. The pin part 9 can be automatically pressed off when the ingot is removed.
[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, further, the latch member 9 is a U-shaped member, the middle of the U-shaped member is placed in the latch hole 4, and the two sides of the U-shaped member serve as bent portions 901 placed in the latch groove 8. During installation, the latch member 9 can be inserted into the latch hole 4, and then the two ends are bent to form a U shape. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0044] Embodiment 3:
[0045] Based on the same concept, the continuous casting ingot structure is different from that of Example 2 in that: Figure 7 As shown, the latch member 9 includes a plurality of stacked ones, and the cross section of the latch hole 4 can adopt a waist-shaped hole 904 structure to further increase the anti-slip strength and ensure that the starter head 1 will not be pulled off before the starter is released.
[0046] Embodiment 4:
[0047] Based on the same concept, the continuous casting ingot structure is different from that of Example 2 in that: Figure 8 As shown, the latch member 9 includes two oppositely connected L-shaped members, one section of the L-shaped member is placed in the latch hole 4, and the other section of the L-shaped member serves as a bending portion 901 and is placed in the latch groove 8. The L-shaped member can be bent into shape before being inserted into the latch hole 4, which makes it easier to hide the latch member 9.
[0048] Furthermore, the L-shaped piece is an L-shaped tube 903 , which is easier to bend, and when the dummy ingot is removed, it is easier for the dummy rod 2 to break the middle of the U-shaped tube 902 and disengage from the groove 3 .
[0049] Furthermore, one of the L-shaped pieces is provided with a hole 904, and the other L-shaped piece can be interference-fitted with the hole 904, and can be quickly installed and connected through the interference fit.
[0050] Embodiment 5: The difference between the continuous casting ingot structure and the embodiment 4 is that: Fig. 9 As shown, another L-shaped member is provided with a protrusion 905 that cooperates with the hole 904. Furthermore, the protrusion 905 can avoid the middle part of the pin hole 4, making it easier for the dummy rod 2 to break the middle part of the U-shaped tube 902 and disengage from the groove 3.
