Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot-dip galvanized strip steel processing, in particular to a device which can reduce the zinc flow pattern occurrence rate of thick-gauge hot-dip galvanized plates. Background Art

[0002] Ensuring that the temperature of the strip steel can be reduced to below 419°C when it leaves the zinc pot can avoid the formation of zinc flow lines, mainly based on the following reasons:

[0003] First, during the hot-dip galvanizing process, liquid zinc will adhere to the surface of the strip. When the strip leaves the zinc pot, the liquid zinc needs to undergo a cooling and solidification process. The solidification point of zinc is approximately 419°C. Therefore, when the temperature of the strip drops below this solidification point, the liquid zinc on its surface will begin to solidify and form a uniform zinc layer. Secondly, if the temperature of the strip is still high after leaving the zinc pot, exceeding 419°C, the liquid zinc on its surface will remain in a flowing state and will be easily affected by external factors (such as airflow), forming wavy zinc flow lines. This zinc flow line not only affects the appearance quality of the strip, but may also affect its subsequent processing and performance.

[0004] Existing methods for reducing zinc streaks mainly include adjusting galvanizing process parameters, improving the structure of galvanizing equipment, etc. For example, the flow of zinc liquid is controlled by adjusting the spray angle and pressure of the air knife. However, these methods have certain limitations in practical applications. For example, it is difficult to achieve precise control of the adjustment of the air knife spray angle and pressure, and hot-dip galvanized sheets of different thicknesses have different requirements for spray parameters, making it difficult for traditional methods to cope with diverse production needs in actual operations.

[0005] In addition, the existing air knife has a complex structure, is difficult to adjust, and cannot adapt to the rapidly changing production environment. Especially for thick hot-dip galvanized sheets, due to their large thickness, the problem of uneven zinc liquid flow is more prominent. The existing air knife cannot effectively control the distribution of zinc liquid, resulting in a high incidence of zinc flow lines.

[0006] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content
