The device can make the molten steel remaining in the flow-guiding holes after use flow to the outside of the flow stabilizer body along the inclined direction by providing the inclined flow-guiding holes, thereby avoiding the problem of decreased flow efficiency in the flow-guiding holes caused by cooling and accumulation of molten steel in the flow-guiding holes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 In an embodiment of the utility model, a flow stabilizer for a continuous casting tundish includes a flow stabilizer body 2, a base 1 integrally formed with the flow stabilizer body 2 is arranged on the bottom surface of the flow stabilizer body 2, a second flow stabilization cavity 13 is arranged inside the flow stabilizer body 2, and the side wall of the second flow stabilization cavity 13 is arc-shaped, and a plurality of overflow grooves 3 are opened on the top surface of the flow stabilizer body 2, and the plurality of overflow grooves 3 are distributed in a circumferential array about the axis of the flow stabilizer body 2;

[0029] A filling groove 7 is formed on the bottom surface of the base 1, and two filling holes 8 are formed on the top surface of the base 1 and are connected to the filling groove 7;

[0030] A flow stabilizing component coaxial with the flow stabilizer body 2 is arranged in the flow stabilizer body 2 .

[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of evenly distributed reinforcement rods 10 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the filling groove 7 , and a disc is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the reinforcement rods 10 .

[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes 9 penetrating the filling grooves 7 are formed on the periphery of the base 1 .

[0033] Furthermore, two hanging rings 4 symmetrically arranged about the axis of the flow stabilizer body 2 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the flow stabilizer body 2 .

[0034] When installing the current stabilizer provided by the utility model:

[0035] The base 1 is inserted into the reserved installation position of the impact area of ​​the tundish, and then concrete is filled into the filling groove 7 through the filling hole 8. During the process, whether the filling groove 7 is completely filled is judged by observing whether the concrete is removed from another filling hole 8. After the filling groove 7 is completely filled, the concrete in the filling groove 7 supports and fixes the flow stabilizer after solidification. The contact area between the base 1 and the concrete is increased by the provision of the reinforcement rod 10, thereby improving the installation stability of the flow stabilizer. At the same time, the concrete in the filling groove 7 is fixedly connected with the tundish through the through hole 9 through the through hole 9, thereby improving the connection stability between the concrete and the tundish, thereby further improving the installation stability of the flow stabilizer. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the flow stabilizer and the dry material working lining from being not integrally formed, resulting in low strength of the contact surface between the flow stabilizer and the dry material at the bottom of the ladle, which may cause the drill steel at the bottom of the flow stabilizer to float due to the erosion of molten steel during the steel pouring process, thereby improving the use stability of the flow stabilizer.

[0036] When the molten steel enters the flow stabilizer:

[0037] Move the ladle to the top of the flow stabilizing assembly. Then inject molten steel into the flow stabilizing assembly, and the molten steel in the flow stabilizing assembly enters the second flow stabilizing chamber 13 after being stabilized, and flows into the tundish through the overflow groove 3 at the bottom of the flow stabilizer body 2 after being further stabilized in the second flow stabilizing chamber 13.

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 On the basis of Example 1, the flow stabilizing assembly includes a flow stabilizing tube 6 disposed in the flow stabilizer body 2, the flow stabilizing tube 6 is coaxial with the flow stabilizer body 2, a feeding funnel 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the flow stabilizer body 2, the top of the feeding funnel 5 is located outside the flow stabilizer body 2, and the diameter of the top of the feeding funnel 5 is larger than the diameter of the top opening of the flow stabilizer body 2, and smaller than the outer diameter of the flow stabilizer body 2;

[0040] The lower part of the stabilizing tube 6 is the first stabilizing chamber 11, the side wall of the first stabilizing chamber 11 is arc-shaped, and an inclined through groove 14 is opened in the upper middle part of the side wall of the first stabilizing chamber 11, the through groove 14 connects the second stabilizing chamber 13 with the first stabilizing chamber 11, and the upper part of the stabilizing tube 6 is a conical guide groove 15 connected to the first stabilizing chamber 11, and the conical guide groove 15 is connected to the bottom end of the feeding funnel 5.

[0041] An anti-impact block 12 is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the first flow stabilization chamber 11 , and the anti-impact block 12 is a cone structure.

[0042] The molten steel poured from the ladle enters the conical guide groove 15 through the feeding funnel 5, and then enters the first steady flow chamber 11 along the conical guide groove 15. When entering the first steady flow chamber 11, it first contacts the anti-impact block 12, and is guided to the side wall direction of the first steady flow chamber 11 under the inclined guiding action of the anti-impact block 12, and then enters the second steady flow chamber 13 along the through groove 14 in the first steady flow chamber 11; the molten steel is guided and buffered by the setting of the anti-impact block 12, thereby enhancing the anti-impact ability of the bottom 6 and improving the service life of the flow stabilizer;

[0043] The inclined arrangement of the through groove 14 can prevent the molten steel from condensing in the through groove 14 and causing blockage of the through groove 14;

[0044] The top of the feeding funnel 5 blocks the gap between the flow stabilizer 6 and the top opening of the flow stabilizer body 2, thereby preventing the molten steel from entering the second flow stabilizer cavity 13 directly between the flow stabilizer 6 and the second flow stabilizer cavity 13 due to the molten steel not being completely above the flow stabilizer 6 at the beginning of pouring. Therefore, the setting of the feeding funnel 5 can improve the stability of the molten steel entering the flow stabilizer, ensuring that the molten steel can enter the second flow stabilizer cavity 13 for secondary flow stabilization after the initial flow stabilization of the flow stabilizer component, thereby improving the flow stabilization effect of the flow stabilizer, reducing the turbulence and eddy current of the molten steel, making the molten steel flow more smoothly in the ladle, helping to avoid gas inclusions and slag inclusions, and improving the quality of the molten steel.

[0045] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
