[0035] As mentioned in the above background art, the coupling connection bolts of the tension leveller system often become deformed, loose, or broken, and it is necessary to regularly tighten and replace the loose and damaged connection bolts of the tension leveller system through a fastening device. However, when tightening or replacing the coupling connection bolts of the tension leveller system, due to the limited and narrow space position and the varying depths of the narrow space, it is not easy to use conventional tools to replace and tighten the bolts. Therefore, the inventors of the present application provide a special device for tightening the coupling connection bolts of a continuous casting machine tension leveller in one or more embodiments. The fastening head can be extended into the narrow space through a connecting rod, and the connection bolt clamped in the fastening head is rotated by the drive of a fastening rocker arm, thereby realizing the replacement or tightening of the connection bolt. At the same time, by adjusting the length of the inner tube extending into the outer tube, the length of the connecting rod can be adjusted to meet the replacement and tightening of the connection bolts at different depths in the narrow space. Thus, one or more problems in the prior art are solved.

[0036] In response to the above-mentioned technical problems, the present utility model provides a special device for tightening the coupling connection bolts of a continuous casting machine tension leveller, as Figures 1 - 3As shown in the figure, it includes: a connecting rod 1, the connecting rod 1 includes an inner tube 5 and an outer tube 7.

[0037] Specifically, according to the position of the connecting bolt at different depths in the narrow space, the length of the inner tube 5 extending into the outer tube 7 is adjusted, so as to adjust the length of the connecting rod 1, so that the nut of the connecting bolt can be snapped in the fastening head 4 (the bolt fastening head 4 is a prior art, and its structural form will not be described in detail here). After the length adjustment of the connecting rod 1 is completed, the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 7 are locked by the locking mechanism to prevent relative movement between the two. Then the staff drives the fastening rocker arm 2 to rotate, so as to drive the connecting rod 1 and the fastening head 4 to rotate, so as to realize the replacement or tightening of the connecting bolt. Further, both the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 7 can be made of steel pipes, and the length direction of the fastening rocker arm 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting rod 1.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, for a special device for tightening the coupling connecting bolt of the straightener of a continuous casting machine in the present application, the fastening head 4 can be extended into the narrow space through the connecting rod 1, and the connecting bolt snapped in the fastening head 4 is rotated by the drive of the fastening rocker arm 2, so as to realize the replacement or tightening of the connecting bolt.

The locking function of the locking mechanism is realized through the locking bolt 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 2 shown, there are multiple locking bolts 11. The multiple locking bolts 11 respectively pass through threaded holes 12 formed at different positions on the side wall of the outer tube 7 and abut against the outer wall of the inner tube 5. Specifically, the multiple threaded holes 12 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential and axial directions of the outer tube 7. The inner tube 5 and the outer tube 7 can be firmly locked together through the multiple locking bolts 11.

[0046] In some embodiments, the fastening head 4 is detachably connected to the other end of the inner tube 5. Through the detachable connection method, fastening heads 4 of different specifications can be connected to the end of the inner tube 5, so that the replacement and fastening of different connecting bolts can be realized, and the application range of the special fastening device is improved.

The fastening head 4 is connected to the end of the inner tube 5 by inserting a high-strength bolt 15 into the through holes. Further, the second connecting plates 14 of the fastening heads 4 of different specifications have the same specifications, and the sizes and positions of the through holes formed therein are the same, so as to be capable of being connected in a matching manner with the first connecting plate 13.

[0047] In some embodiments, a rubber sleeve (not shown in the figure) is covered on the plug 8. The rubber sleeve protects the staff and avoids the problem that the hands of the staff are scratched or abraded by the plug 8.

[0048] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present disclosure provides a special device for fastening the coupling connecting bolts of a straightening machine of a continuous casting machine. The fastening head 4 can be extended into a narrow space through the connecting rod 1, and the connecting bolt clamped in the fastening head 4 is rotated by the drive of the fastening rocker arm 2, so as to realize the replacement or fastening of the connecting bolt.
