Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to an aerosol cooling device for continuous casting billets. Background Art

[0002] A continuous casting billet is a plate-shaped, rectangular or circular billet formed after molten steel is processed through components such as a tundish and a mold during the steelmaking process. After the continuous casting billet is obtained, it needs to be transported, cooled, and sampled for inspection. Unqualified continuous casting billets need to be remelted and processed.

[0003] During the transportation of continuous casting billets, due to their high surface temperature, directly transporting them to the aerosol cooling section will cause their surface to cool rapidly, while the core temperature cannot be transferred quickly, resulting in local stress concentration and surface cracks. To address this problem, aerosol cooling is usually used for cooling. For example, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN204711141U provides a structure for cooling continuous casting billets by water nozzle spraying. It uses an open cooling structure, and during cooling, the open scenario is prone to rapid temperature changes, resulting in uneven cooling effects. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims at the above problems and provides an aerosol cooling device for continuous casting billets.

[0005] The technical solution adopted is that the aerosol cooling device for continuous casting billets includes a tank body. The tank body is arranged on one side of a horizontal conveyor, and a continuous casting billet is transported on the horizontal conveyor. A cooling cavity is arranged in the tank body, and the cooling cavity is filled with cooling water. An aerosol cooling mechanism and a water pumping mechanism are arranged in the cooling cavity;

[0006] The water pumping mechanism can pump the cooling water in the cooling cavity into the aerosol cooling mechanism;

[0007] The position of the aerosol cooling mechanism is adapted to the position of the continuous casting billet on the horizontal conveyor, and the continuous casting billet can enter the aerosol cooling mechanism.

[0008] Optionally, the feeding end of the aerosol cooling mechanism faces the horizontal conveyor, and the discharging end of the aerosol cooling mechanism faces the rolling mill conveying roller.

[0009] Optionally, the water pumping mechanism includes a first fixing platform, a water pump, a liquid inlet pipe, and a first liquid delivery pipe;

[0010] The first fixing platform is arranged in the cooling cavity, and the top of the first fixing platform is above the liquid level of the cooling water;

[0011] The water pump is arranged on the top of the first fixing platform. The liquid inlet end of the water pump is connected to one end of the liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid delivery end of the water pump is communicated with the aerosol cooling mechanism through the first liquid delivery pipe;

[0012] The other end of the liquid inlet pipe is inserted into the cooling water.

[0013] Optionally, the aerosol cooling mechanism includes a second fixing table, an aerosol cooling pipe, and a second liquid delivery pipe;

[0014] The second fixing table is arranged in the cooling cavity, arranged side by side with the first fixing table, and the top of the second fixing table is above the liquid level of the cooling water;

[0015] The second liquid delivery pipe is connected to the first liquid delivery pipe, and the second liquid delivery pipe is arranged on the top of the aerosol cooling pipe;

[0016] The aerosol cooling pipe is arranged on the second fixing table, a liquid discharge port is arranged at the bottom of the aerosol cooling pipe, and the continuous casting billet can enter the aerosol cooling pipe.

[0020] The advantages of the present utility model include:

[0021] 1. By adopting the aerosol cooling mechanism, the continuous casting billet can be quickly cooled in a relatively sealed scenario. Since the heat exchange between the entire scenario and the external air is less, the cooling becomes more uniform.

[0022] 2. It solves the problem that the existing cooling device uses an open cooling structure, and the open scenario is prone to rapid temperature changes during cooling, resulting in uneven cooling effect distribution. Description of the Drawings

An aerosol cooling mechanism and a water pumping mechanism are arranged in the cooling chamber 21;

[0030] The water pumping mechanism can pump the cooling water in the cooling chamber 21 into the aerosol cooling mechanism;

[0031] The position of the aerosol cooling mechanism is adapted to the position of the continuous casting billet 4 on the horizontal conveyor 3, and the continuous casting billet 4 can enter the aerosol cooling mechanism.

[0032] The purpose of such a design is that by adopting the aerosol cooling mechanism, the continuous casting billet can be quickly cooled in a relatively sealed scenario. Since the heat exchange between the whole scenario and the external air is less, the cooling becomes more uniform. It solves the problem that the existing cooling device uses an open cooling structure, and the temperature of the open scenario is likely to change rapidly during cooling, resulting in uneven cooling effect distribution.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding end of the aerosol cooling mechanism faces the horizontal conveyor 3, and the discharging end of the aerosol cooling mechanism faces the steel rolling conveyor roller 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, a specific composition of a pumping mechanism is provided. The pumping mechanism includes a first fixing table 26, a water pump 30, a liquid inlet pipe 27, and a first liquid delivery pipe 28;

[0035] The first fixing table 26 is arranged in the cooling cavity 21, and the top of the first fixing table 26 is above the liquid level of the cooling water;

[0036] The water pump 30 is arranged on the top of the first fixing table 26. The liquid inlet end of the water pump 30 is connected to one end of the liquid inlet pipe 27, and the liquid delivery end of the water pump 30 is communicated with the aerosol cooling mechanism through the first liquid delivery pipe 28;

[0037] The other end of the liquid inlet pipe 27 is inserted into the cooling water.

[0038] The purpose of such a design is to be able to send the cooling water in the cooling cavity into the aerosol cooling mechanism through the liquid inlet pipe via the water pump. The specific working process is as follows: after the water pump is started, the cooling water enters the liquid inlet pipe, then enters the water pump, then flows into the first liquid delivery pipe, and enters the aerosol cooling mechanism.

[0039] In this embodiment, a specific structure of an aerosol cooling mechanism is provided. The aerosol cooling mechanism includes a second fixing table 24, an aerosol cooling pipe 23, and a second liquid delivery pipe 29;

[0040] The second fixing table 24 is arranged in the cooling cavity 21, is arranged side by side with the first fixing table 26, and the top of the second fixing table 24 is above the liquid level of the cooling water;

[0041] The second liquid delivery pipe 29 is connected to the first liquid delivery pipe 28, and the second liquid delivery pipe 29 is arranged on the top of the aerosol cooling pipe 23;

[0042] The aerosol cooling pipe 23 is arranged on the second fixing table 24. A liquid discharge port 31 is arranged at the bottom of the aerosol cooling pipe 23, and the continuous casting billet 4 can enter the aerosol cooling pipe 23.

[0043] Meanwhile, an aerosol cooling cavity 34 is arranged in the aerosol cooling pipe 23. An aerosol spray head 33 is arranged in the aerosol cooling cavity 34.

[0045] It should be noted that in actual use, the aerosol cooling mechanism and the water pumping mechanism are usually used in combination. At the same time, in order to improve the overall production efficiency, usually multiple sets of aerosol cooling mechanisms and water pumping mechanisms used in combination are arranged in the cooling cavity, so that the continuous casting billets produced by multiple continuous casting billet production lines can be processed.

[0046] In specific work, the cooling water comes to the second infusion pipe through the first infusion pipe, and then sprays out from the aerosol nozzle to cool the continuous casting billet below, while the excess liquid is discharged from the drain port at the bottom and flows back to the cooling cavity.

[0047] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 25 is also arranged on the second fixed table 24, and the reinforcing plate 25 is located on both sides of the aerosol cooling pipe 23.

[0048] The purpose of such a design is that the mechanical strength of the aerosol cooling pipe can be increased by the arranged reinforcing plate.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
