Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to steel billet cutting equipment in a continuous casting operation area of ​​a steelmaking plant, in particular to a cutting tumor removing device for a continuous casting cutting trolley. Background Art

[0002] The continuous casting cutting trolley is an important component of the continuous casting production line. It is used to cut the continuously cast ingot (usually slab or billet) into standard lengths of steel according to predetermined lengths during the continuous casting process.

[0003] When flame cutting is used to cut the continuous casting billet to length, the liquid steel may adhere to the lower edge of the cut of the continuous casting billet and form a cut nodule on the lower edge of the two cut sections. After cooling, these cut nodules will firmly adhere to the lower edge and lower surface of the end of the billet. When entering the subsequent steel rolling process, the cut nodules become harder because their cooling speed is much faster than that of the billet matrix. This will cause the cut nodules to damage the surface of the rolling groove when the rolling mill bites, or fall off and stick to the rolling groove. As the rollers rotate, the cut nodules may be pressed into the surface of the continuous casting billet again, and after multiple rolling and extension, long strip defects will eventually form on the surface of the finished steel product, causing the product to fail to meet quality standards.

[0004] In addition, even if the cut edge does not directly damage the rolling groove or adhere to it, it may be pressed into the head of the steel and form a scar. In order to remove this defective part, the length of the cut head must be increased, which will reduce the yield rate. Therefore, in order to ensure the production of high-quality products, the cut edge on the continuous casting billet must be thoroughly removed before rolling. Summary of the invention

SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0030] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1-7 shown, the structural description of the device for removing cutting tumors from the continuous casting cutting trolley:

[0031] At both ends corresponding to the cutting gun 4 on the lower end surface of the traveling trolley body 11 for cutting the steel billet 5, a slag blowing unit 2 is fixedly arranged at one end, and a water cooling unit 3 is fixedly arranged at the other end; the slag blowing unit 2, the water cooling unit 3, and the cutting gun 4 on the traveling trolley are arranged on the same straight line, and the slag blowing unit 2 and the water cooling unit 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cutting gun 4; during the cutting of the steel billet 5 by the cutting gun 4, the slag blowing unit 2 can blow air at the cutting tumor, blowing the cutting tumor towards the opposite slag baffle 302 to realize the water cooling process.

[0032] The slag blowing unit 2 is composed of two support and guiding columns 201 fixedly arranged on the lower end surface of one side of the traveling trolley and a floating plate 206 installed on the support and guiding columns 201. A guiding hole cooperating with the guiding column is arranged on the floating plate 206.

[0033] An end stop 205 is arranged on the lower end surface of the support and guiding column 201. A compression spring 204 is sleeved on the guiding column above the end stop 205. The compression spring 204 is arranged between the floating plate 206 and the end stop 205.

[0034] A push rod 203 is fixedly connected between the two support and guiding columns 201 on the upper end surface of the floating plate 206. A pneumatic jack 202 (installed downward) is installed on the lower end of the traveling trolley corresponding to the vertical direction of the push rod 203. When the rod of the pneumatic jack 202 extends, it can contact the upper surface of the push rod 203 and push the push rod 203 downward by a certain distance.

[0035] The floating plate 206 is of a U-shaped structure. Block 207 structures are fixedly arranged on the upper surfaces of the two ends of the U-shaped structure of the U-shaped structure, which is convenient for contacting the cut steel billet 5.

[0036] A V-shaped main jet pipe 208 is installed in the middle of the floating plate 206. Jet branch pipes 209 arranged in sequence from short to long are arranged on the main pipe (two groups are arranged in mirror image and the nozzles of the jet branch pipes 209 are inclined upward at a certain angle). An air inlet channel 210 is arranged in the middle of the floating plate 206 to facilitate supplying air to the V-shaped main jet pipe 208.

[0037] Before the billet is discharged from the crystallizer, the pneumatic push cylinder 202 moves the push rod 203 downward and compresses the compression spring 204, thereby making room for the billet to pass smoothly and avoid collision with the cushion block 207. When the billet is clamped and begins to be transported, the traveling carriage moves forward at the same speed as the billet; then the pneumatic push cylinder 202 is retracted, and the push rod 203 and the floating plate 206 are reset upward under the action of the compression spring 204, so that the cushion block 207 is close to the lower surface of the billet, maintaining a predetermined distance between the water spray branch pipe 209 and the bottom surface of the billet.

[0038] The water cooling unit 3 is composed of a connecting rod 301 fixedly arranged on the lower end surface of the other side of the traveling trolley and a slag blocking plate 302 fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the connecting rod 301 . The slag blocking plate 302 is provided with densely distributed circular air holes 303 .

[0039] The slag retaining plate 302 is arranged as a trapezoidal structure, which is narrow at the upper end and wide at the lower end; a transverse water inlet pipe 304 is arranged at the upper end of the slag retaining plate 302 and on the side corresponding to the steel billet 5 and is fixedly connected to the slag retaining plate 302, and a plurality of water outlets 305 are arranged below the water inlet pipe 304, and the water flowing out of the water outlets 305 can cover the corresponding surface of the slag retaining plate 302.

[0040] Working principle and working process description of the continuous casting cutting car cutting tumor removal device:

[0041] S1. Before the billet 5 is conveyed out of the crystallizer, the pneumatic push cylinder 202 is actuated, and the extension rod of the pneumatic push cylinder 202 extends out to support the upper end of the push rod 203, so that the push rod 203 moves downward a certain distance under the action of the push force. The push rod 203 moves downward under the action of the pneumatic push cylinder 202, and the push rod 203 drives the floating plate 206 to move downward along the support guide column 201. The floating plate 206 presses the compression spring 204 to facilitate the smooth passage of the billet 5 and avoid the collision of the billet 5 with the cushion block 207 mechanism during the output process.

[0042] S2. When the billet 5 is conveyed out from the crystallizer outlet, the billet 5 is clamped by a clamp on a cutting trolley (i.e., a traveling trolley) (not shown in the figure), and the traction force of the billet 5 conveyed drives the cutting trolley to move forward at the same speed as the billet 5.

[0043] S3. At this time, the pneumatic push rod 203 moves to retract the rod and detach it from the upper end surface of the push rod 203, so that the push rod 203 and the floating plate 206 move upward under the spring force of the compression spring 204 to restore the original shape, so that the cushion block 207 is close to the lower surface of the billet 5 (the purpose is to ensure the distance between the water spray pipe and the bottom surface of the billet 5).

[0044] S4. Start the cutting torch 4 carried on the traveling trolley. The cutting torch 4 starts to perform following cutting on the billet 5. During the cutting process, the molten steel forms a cutting tumor at the lower end of the cutting opening. At this time, high-pressure gas is ejected from the nozzle of the gas injection pipe. Since the outlet of the gas injection pipe is directly facing the lower end position of the cutting opening, under the blowing action of the high-pressure gas, the liquid cutting tumor is blown off from the lower end of the cutting opening and laterally flies towards the slag baffle 302 on the opposite side.

[0045] S5. The slag baffle 302 is provided with dense air holes to facilitate the passage of the high-pressure gas from the outlet of the gas injection pipe.

[0046] S6. An inlet main pipe 304 is arranged above the slag baffle 302, and a plurality of outlet ports 305 are arranged below the inlet main pipe 304. The water flowing out from the outlet ports 305 forms a waterfall flow on the inclined surface on the slag blocking side of the slag baffle 302 (the slag baffle 302 is set to be a trapezoidal structure in cross-section, with a wide bottom and a narrow top, which is convenient for the water to flow down to form a sloped waterfall).

[0047] S7. When the liquid cutting tumor is blown onto the slag baffle 302 and encounters the water flow, it will immediately cool down and then fall from the slag baffle 302 to the ground.

[0048] S8. After the cutting torch 4 completes the cutting, the pneumatic ejector rod 203 operates, repeating the first step, and then the cutting trolley returns to its original position for the next cutting cycle.

[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that; it is still possible to modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; therefore, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
