[0002] As is well known, a zirconia nozzle is a key component for controlling the flow during the continuous casting process of steel. Due to the extremely harsh service environment, the zirconia nozzle is required to have very good thermal shock stability. Usually, the method for testing the thermal shock stability of zirconia nozzles is the conventional water-cooling test method in the refractory industry, that is, heating the zirconia nozzle to a specified high temperature in a heating furnace, and then directly taking out the nozzle from the heating furnace and putting it into cold water, and repeating this operation until the nozzle is damaged. For zirconia nozzles, this test method has many disadvantages: 1. Since the shapes of zirconia nozzles are diverse, a thermal shock stability test device standardized in the refractory industry cannot be used, and only an ordinary heating furnace can be used for manual operation. Therefore, this test method is not very standardized; 2. It is labor-intensive, time-consuming, has high energy consumption, and the operation process is complex. Therefore, it has become a basic requirement for those skilled in the art to propose a device that can test the thermal shock stability of zirconia nozzles with various shapes.

A moving assembly corresponding to the nozzle 4 is arranged on the other side above the base 1. The moving assembly includes a horizontal slider 9, a support rod 7, an oxy-acetylene torch 6 and a handwheel type screw B13. The horizontal slider 9 is a dovetail groove metal block and slides in the dovetail groove of the base 1. The lower end of the support rod 7 is connected to the threaded hole on the upper surface of the horizontal slider 9 through threads. A sleeve-type vertical slider 8 is connected to the middle of the support rod 7. An oxy-acetylene torch 6 is fixed on one side of the vertical slider 8, and the extension block on the other side is connected to the threaded end of the handwheel type screw B13. The flame 5 of the oxy-acetylene torch 6 corresponds to the nozzle 4; the clamping assembly includes a nozzle support rod 2 and a nozzle clamp 3. The nozzle support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the threaded hole on one side above the base 1 through the threaded section at the lower end. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the nozzle support rod 2. The nozzle clamp 3 is provided with two pieces, both of which are "convex"-shaped metal sheets. Through holes are provided on the convex parts of the two metal sheets. The screw in the through hole is passed through the circular hole of the nozzle support rod 2, and the two metal sheets are fixed on both sides of the nozzle support rod 2 through nuts, and the nozzle 4 between the two metal sheets is clamped.
[0015] Specifically, the base 1 is set as a rectangular plate. A double-hole plate A10 is fixed on the right end surface of the base 1. The double-hole plate A10 has a screw hole and a through hole arranged at intervals up and down on a vertical plate. A bolt hole is opened on the right end surface of the base 1. The screw hole at the lower part of the double-hole plate A10 corresponds to the bolt hole on the right end surface of the base 1 and is fixedly connected through a bolt. The inner end of the handwheel type screw A11 passes through the through hole at the upper part of the double-hole plate A10 and is fixedly connected to the outer end surface of the horizontal slider 9. Two nuts are arranged at intervals on the bolt of the handwheel type screw A11, and the two are located on both sides of the double-hole plate A10.
[0016] Specifically, a double-hole plate B12 is fixed on the upper end surface of the support rod 7. The double-hole plate B12 is a horizontal plate with two screw holes spaced apart on the left and right sides. The bolt in the screw hole on the left side of the double-hole plate B12 is fixed in the connecting hole on the upper end surface of the support rod 7.

The surface of the nozzle 4 moves slowly from the upper end to the lower end to form a melting line, extinguishing the flame 5 and ending the test; if the nozzle 4 explodes or cracks during the melting process of the flame 5, the test is terminated immediately, indicating that the thermal shock stability of the nozzle 4 is very poor; if the melting line is flat, smooth, without cracks or peeling, it proves that the thermal shock stability of the nozzle 4 is very good and can be used with confidence; if the melting line has cracks or peeling, it proves that the thermal shock stability of the nozzle 4 is poor and there are risks in using it; the support rod 7, nozzle support rod 2 and base 1 are all made of metal materials. If a straight line cannot be found on the outer shape of the nozzle 4, when facing a curve, the position of the oxygen-acetylene gun 6 can be adjusted by the hand-wheel screw A11 to make the high temperature area of the flame 5 on the surface of the nozzle 4.
