Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of continuous casting, in particular to a continuous casting submerged nozzle aligner. Background Art
[0002] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, in the continuous casting process, it is necessary to transfer the molten steel in the tundish 3 into the mold 4. The molten steel in the tundish 3 enters the mold 4 through the submerged nozzle 1.

The alignment of the submerged nozzle and the mold will directly affect the internal quality of the slab. The skew of the nozzle will cause uneven growth of the shell thickness in the mold, and even cause a breakout accident.

[0018] To further understand the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0019] Figure 2 The figure shows a structural schematic diagram of a continuous casting submerged nozzle aligner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The figure shows a usage schematic diagram of a continuous casting submerged nozzle aligner according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The figure shows a usage schematic diagram of a continuous casting submerged nozzle aligner according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0020] As Figures 2 - 4As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a continuous casting submerged nozzle centering device 5, which includes: an arc section 53, the curvature radius of the arc section 53 is the same as that of the submerged nozzle 1, so that the arc section 53 can coincide with the arc line of the cross-section of the submerged nozzle 1. Considering that the curvature radii of the cross-sections at different positions of the submerged nozzle may be different, specifically, the curvature radius of the arc section 53 is the same as the curvature radius of the docking position when the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold are normally centered; a first side branch 51 and a second side branch 52, the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 are respectively connected to both ends of the arc section 53, the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 are of equal length and are respectively engraved with the same scale, and the positions where the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 are engraved with the scale are the same, and the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 are axisymmetric with respect to the symmetry axis of the arc section 53; a handle 54, the handle 54 connects the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52, and the arc section 53, the first side branch 51, the second side branch 52 and the handle 54 form a closed figure.
[0021] Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the use of the continuous casting submerged nozzle centering device according to the first embodiment of the present utility model. Refer to Figure 3 , when in use, the arc section 53 is fitted to the docking part of the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold. In Figure 3 , the shape of the upper opening 2 of the mold is circular. If the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold are normally centered, the scales at the intersections of the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 with the circular contour line of the upper opening of the mold should be the same. If the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold are not normally centered, the arc section 53 cannot be normally fitted to the docking part of the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold, resulting in different scales at the intersections of the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 with the circular contour line of the upper opening of the mold. In this way, measure at each position around the submerged nozzle 1. If the scales at the intersections of the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 53 with the circular contour line of the upper opening of the mold are all the same, it proves that the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold are normally centered; otherwise, they are not centered and need to be adjusted. The adjustment can be made according to the deviation degree of the scales at the intersections of the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 53 with the circular contour line of the upper opening of the mold. Further, the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 can extend radially along the arc section for easy observation. The central angle of the arc section 53 can be 60° to 90°, preferably 60°, which is convenient for operation and observation.
[0022] Figure 4 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the use of the continuous casting submerged nozzle centering device according to the second embodiment of the present utility model. As Figure 4 shown, further, the continuous casting submerged nozzle centering device 5 may further include a central axis section 55, the central axis section 55 is connected to the arc section 53, and the central axis section 55 extends along the symmetry axis of the arc section 53. As Figure 4As shown, sometimes the upper opening 2 of the mold is square or rectangular. At this time, during measurement, not only should the arc section 53 be fitted to the joint between the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold as before, but also it is necessary to ensure that the central axis section is perpendicular to the sides of the square of the upper opening 2 of the mold before measurement can be carried out. If, after measuring the four sides of the square or rectangular contour line, the scales at the intersections of the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 with the square contour line of the upper opening of the mold are the same, it proves that the submerged nozzle 1 and the upper opening 2 of the mold are properly centered. Otherwise, they are not centered and need to be adjusted, and the corresponding adjustment can be made according to the deviation degree of the scales at the intersections of the first side branch 51 and the second side branch 52 with the square contour line of the upper opening of the mold.
[0023] The continuous casting submerged nozzle centering device provided by the present utility model is convenient to use and easy to operate, and can quickly judge whether the submerged nozzle and the mold are centered.
