[0025] The following further illustrates this solution through embodiments in combination with the usage process as follows.
[0026] Embodiment: An automatic separation device for continuous casting billets and dummy bars, which is mainly applied to the process of guiding the continuous casting billets during the initial transportation of continuous casting billets by the dummy bar, and can realize the automatic separation of the dummy bar and the continuous casting billet. It includes a rotating arm 1, a support 2, a pin shaft 3, a roller track support beam 4, a hydraulic cylinder 5, a hydraulic cylinder base 6, a hydraulic cylinder head seat 7, a baffle 8, a switch trigger 9, a proximity switch A 10, a proximity switch B 11, a bearing seat 12, a free roller track 13, a protective cover 14, a grid plate 15, a buffer device 16, a photoelectric switch 17, a column 18, a continuous casting billet 19, a dummy bar 20, and a motor 21. The support 2 fixed on the roller track support beam 4 is connected to the rotating arm 1 through the pin shaft 3. The bearing seat 12 equipped with the free roller track 13 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating arm 1 by bolts. A protective cover 14 is arranged outside the bearing seat 12 to prevent the bearing seat 12 from being polluted by the working environment. The lower end of the rotating arm 1 is fixed with a hydraulic cylinder head seat 7. The hydraulic cylinder head seat 7 is connected to the top end of the hydraulic cylinder 5. The other end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder base 6 fixed on the roller track support beam 4 through a pin shaft. Baffles 8 are arranged on the outer sides of the pin shaft connection points at both ends of the hydraulic cylinder to prevent the pin shaft connection points from being polluted by substances such as dust. To accurately and automatically position the stroke of the rotating arm 1 and the hydraulic cylinder 5, a proximity switch A 10 and a proximity switch B 11 are arranged on the roller track support beam 4. At the same time, a switch trigger 9 cooperating with the proximity switch is arranged on the rotating arm 1. When the switch trigger 9 is within the sensing range of the proximity switch A 10 and the proximity switch B 11, the hydraulic cylinder 5 will immediately stop operating. To prevent the rotating arm 1 from damaging itself or devices such as the roller track support beam 4 due to gravity during the falling process, a buffer device 16 is installed on the roller track support beam 4. The buffer device is a spring or a damper, etc. To prevent the dummy bar 20 from falling into the pit after being separated from the continuous casting billet 19, a grid plate 15 welded to the roller track support beam 4 is arranged behind the free roller track 13 (in the advancing direction of the slab) to receive the separated dummy bar. Photoelectric switches 17 fixed to the ground through columns 18 are arranged on both sides of the roller track. The photoelectric switches cooperate with the dummy bar (or a position indicating baffle corresponding to the photoelectric switch on the dummy bar, etc.) to detect and determine the movement position of the dummy bar 20. The roller track is connected to the motor 21 to control the speed of the roller track in the rear area.
[0027] When the continuous casting machine starts production, the dummy bar 20 guides the continuous casting slab 19 to be conveyed on the roller table. When the dummy bar 20 runs into the detection range of the photoelectric switch 17, at this time, the connection between the dummy bar 20 and the continuous casting slab 19 is at a certain distance in front of the free roller table 13 (in the incoming material direction). At this time, the motor 21 drives the roller table to decelerate, and at the same time, the control hydraulic cylinder 5 is started. The swing arm 1, the bearing seat 12, the free roller table 13, and the switch trigger 9 will rotate counterclockwise upward around the pin connection of the support 2 as the center point with the elongation of the rod end of the hydraulic cylinder 5. When the switch trigger 9 rotates into the induction range of the proximity switch B 11, the hydraulic cylinder 5 stops working. At this time, the connection between the dummy bar 20 and the continuous casting slab 19 is separated due to the rising of the free roller table 13, realizing the automatic separation action of the dummy bar. After a short stay, the hydraulic cylinder 5 retracts. When the switch trigger 9 rotates into the induction range of the proximity switch A 10, the hydraulic cylinder 5 stops working again, and the automatic separation dummy bar device returns to the initial state.
[0028] The structure of the utility model can not only realize the automatic separation of the continuous casting slab and the dummy bar, reduce manual intervention in the process, improve production efficiency and continuity, but also realize the automatic and accurate positioning of the separation device through the photoelectric switch and the proximity switch, avoiding equipment damage accidents or production accidents caused by improper operation of traditional manual or mechanical auxiliary separation methods, and ensuring production safety.
