Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nozzle quick-change devices, and more specifically to a nozzle quick-change device for a continuous casting tundish. Background Art

[0002] At present, the tundish nozzle quick change technology has been widely used in my country's metallurgical continuous casting system. It has the advantages of greatly increasing the number of single-ladle continuous casting furnaces, improving the molten steel recovery rate and casting machine operation rate, and reducing the comparative cost per ton of steel.

[0003] At present, the technology used in the tundish nozzle quick-change device is: the blind plate is taken and placed manually. If steel slips out during the nozzle quick-change process, the blind plate cannot be manually placed, posing a safety hazard; or a separate blind plate drive mechanism is used, which makes the nozzle quick-change device structure complex and the nozzle quick-change operation inconvenient. At the same time, the blind plate drive and the nozzle quick-change are not reliably interlocked, and the two actions will interfere with each other. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved by the utility model

[0005] In response to the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a quick-changing device for the water nozzle of a continuous casting intermediate tank. During the normal casting operation, the blind plate is always hung on the main body of the mechanism to achieve automatic standby, and there is no need for manual removal and placement of the blind plate. When the water nozzle is quickly changed, the pushing device drives the pushing arm to push the new water nozzle to be replaced into the working position, and then automatically returns to the initial blind plate standby state. During this process, if an emergency situation such as steel leakage between plates or loss of control of the stopper rod occurs, the pushing device can be started again to push the blind plate in to cut off the steel flow, thereby ensuring safety during the quick-changing process of the water nozzle. Therefore, this device can ensure that the steel flow can be cut off under any circumstances, thereby ensuring production safety.

[0050] from Figure 1-2It can be seen that a pushing device 4 is provided on one side of the mechanism body 1, the output end of the pushing device 4 is connected to a pushing arm 5, the rear end of the pushing arm 5 is provided with a guide plate 6, the front end of the pushing arm 5 is provided with a U-shaped opening groove 501, and a pin 7 is provided in the U-shaped opening groove 501;

[0051] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the guide plate 6 is provided with a straight line guide groove 1 601, an oblique line guide groove 2 602 and a straight line guide groove 3 603;

[0052] from Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 12-15 It can be seen that a blind plate 8 is provided on the inlet side of the mechanism body 1, a blind plate hook 801 is provided at the rear end of the blind plate 8, and groove 1 802, an upwardly inclined opening groove 803, groove 2 804 and groove 3 805 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the front end of the blind plate 8.

[0053] The inlet side of the mechanism body 1 is also provided with a front pin 1001 and a rear pin 1002. The front pin 1001 and the rear pin 1002 are arranged in two groups at intervals and are respectively located on both sides of the blind plate 8;

[0054] A groove is provided in the center of the mechanism body 1 , in which an upper water port 14 is placed. A lower water port 13 is provided at the bottom of the mechanism body 1 , and the lower water port 13 includes an original lower water port 13b and a new lower water port 13a.

[0055] A cover plate 2 is provided at the upper end of the mechanism body 1 , and an inclined groove is provided on the bottom side of the cover plate 2 , in which an inclined wedge 3 is inserted. The inclined wedge 3 is inserted into the inclined groove on the bottom side of the cover plate 2 to fix the water inlet 14 .

[0056] A tightening device 9 is provided on the inlet side of the mechanism body 1 , and the tightening device 9 includes a tightening spring 901 and a push rod 902 .

[0057] Example 2

[0058] from Figure 5-8 It can be seen that a method for quick-changing nozzles of continuous casting tundishes is Figure 5 It can be seen that: in the initial state;

[0059] The push arm 5 is located at the straight section guide groove 1 601 of the guide plate 6. One end of the blind plate 8 is hung on the pin 7 at the front end of the push arm 5 through the blind plate hook 801. The other end of the blind plate 8 is hung on the front pin 1001 through the groove 2 804 on both sides. Under the action of the tightening spring 901, the push rod 902 tightens the blind plate 8 to maintain stability; the original water outlet 13b is in the working position and the casting operation is normal.

[0060] from Figure 6-7 It can be seen that during the nozzle quick change process:

[0061] The new drain port 13a is placed at the entrance preparation position of the mechanism body 1, and its upper surface contacts the bottom of the blind plate 8, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown;

[0062] The push arm 5 first moves forward along the straight section guide groove 601 of the guide plate 6, and the pin 7 on the push arm 5 pushes the blind plate hook 801 to drive the blind plate 8 to move forward;

[0063] Since the upper surface of the new drain port 13a supports the bottom of the blind plate 8, the blind plate 8 will continue to move forward linearly until the groove 3 805 is hung on the rear pin 1002 and the groove 1 802 is hung on the front pin 1001; at this time, the push arm 5 moves downward along the oblique guide groove 2 602, and the pin 7 is separated from the blind plate hook 801;

[0064] Subsequently, the push arm 5 moves forward linearly along the straight segment guide groove 3 603, pushing the new drain port 13a at the preparation position out of the original drain port 13b and into the working position. Figure 7 As shown;

[0065] After the nozzle is replaced, the push arm 5 moves backward along the straight section guide groove 3 603, then moves upward along the guide groove 2 602, and the blind plate hook 801 is re-hung on the pin 7. Finally, the push arm 5 moves backward along the straight section guide groove 1 601, and the pin 7 pulls the blind plate hook 801 to drive the blind plate 8 back to the initial state during normal casting operation.

[0066] from Figure 8 It can be seen that when the device is in normal casting operation, if an emergency occurs and the nozzle needs to be closed, or when the casting operation is completed, the process of closing the nozzle with the blind plate 8 is as follows:

[0067] The push arm 5 first moves forward linearly along the straight section guide groove 1 601 of the guide plate 6. The pin 7 on the push arm 5 pushes the blind plate hook 801 to drive the blind plate 8 to move forward. When the support point of the front pin 1001 and the blind plate 8 changes from the groove 1 802 to the intersection of the obliquely upward open groove 803, since the bottom of the blind plate 8 is not supported by the water outlet to be replaced, under the action of the blind plate 8's own gravity, the front end of the blind plate 8 slides obliquely downward along the open groove 803 along the front pin 1001, and finally separates from the front pin 1001 and slides into the entrance preparation position of the mechanism body 1.

[0068] During the downward oblique movement of the push arm 5 along the oblique guide groove 2 602, the blind plate hook 801 at the rear end of the blind plate 8 also slides into the entrance preparation position of the mechanism body 1 along with the pin 7; at this point, the blind plate 8 slides into the entrance preparation position of the mechanism body 1 as a whole, and then the push arm 5 moves forward linearly along the straight guide groove 3 603, pushing the blind plate 8 at the preparation position out of the original water outlet 13b into the working position to close the water outlet and cut off the steel flow. Figure 8 As shown;

[0069] In this position, the pin 7 is located in the gap at the lower end of the blind plate hook 801 and is disengaged from the blind plate hook 801;

[0070] The push arm 5 is retracted backwards, along the straight segment guide groove 3 603 , the oblique segment guide groove 2 602 and finally enters the straight segment guide groove 1 601 to return to the initial position.

[0071] To sum up, during the normal casting operation, the device always hangs the blind plate 8 on the mechanism body 1 to achieve automatic standby, and there is no need to manually take and place the blind plate 8. When the sprue is quickly changed, the pushing device 4 drives the pushing arm 5 to push the new downspout 13a to be replaced into the working position, and then automatically returns to the initial standby state of the blind plate 8. During this process, if an emergency situation such as steel leakage between plates or loss of control of the stopper rod occurs, the pushing device 4 can be started again to push the blind plate 8 in to cut off the steel flow, thereby ensuring safety during the sprue quick change process. Therefore, the device can ensure that the steel flow can be cut off under any circumstances, thereby ensuring production safety.

[0072] Example 3

[0073] from Figure 2 、 Figure 16-17 It can be seen that the continuous casting tundish nozzle quick-change device of this embodiment includes a mechanism body 1;

[0074] Pressure adjusting devices are provided on both sides of the lower part of the mechanism body 1, and the pressure adjusting devices include a spring box 11 and a pressure adjusting seat 12;

[0075] A spring 19 is provided inside the spring box 11. A transition block 20 is provided at one end of the spring 19. A pressure sensor 21 is provided on one side of the transition block 20. The transition block 20 transmits the pressure of the spring 19 to the pressure sensor 21 for reading.

[0076] The other end of the spring 19 is provided with a guide rod 18, and the front end of the guide rod 18 is provided with an L-shaped push rod 17;

[0077] A shaft 16 is provided in the spring box 11, and an L-shaped ejector rod 17 rotates relative to the shaft 16;

[0078] from Figure 9 It can be seen that the front end of the L-shaped push rod 17 is provided with a push block 171, which supports the lower sliding surface of the drain port 13;

[0079] The pressure of the spring 19 is transmitted to the drain port 13 through the guide rod 18 , the L-shaped ejector rod 17 , and the ejector block 171 , so that the upper surface of the drain port 13 and the lower surface of the upper port 14 are kept in close contact.

[0080] A heat insulation board 15 is provided at the bottom of the spring box 11; a plurality of sets of L-shaped push rods 17 are provided at one end of the spring box 11 near the drain 13;

[0081] from Figure 9 It can be seen that the upper surface of the ejector block 171 is designed with a straight middle portion and arc-shaped bevel transitions on both sides. In this way, the water outlet 13 slides smoothly and reliably from the working position of the mechanism body 1 to the working position of normal casting, or is ejected from the working position of normal casting.

[0082] A pressure adjustment seat 12 is provided on the side of the spring box 11 away from the drain port 13. A worm gear 23 is provided in the pressure adjustment seat 12. The outer ring of the worm gear 23 is meshed with the worm 22. The outer ring of the worm gear 23 is threadedly matched with the adjustment rod 24. An anti-rotation pin 25 is inserted into the rod of the adjustment rod 24.

[0083] The adjustment method is as follows: the worm 22 rotates to drive the worm wheel 23 to rotate, and the anti-rotation pin 25 prevents the adjustment rod 24, which is threadedly engaged with the worm wheel 23, from rotating with the worm wheel 23, but moves linearly toward the center of the mechanism body 1;

[0084] The tightening force of the adjusting rod 24 is transmitted to the spring 19 through the pressure sensor 21 and the transition block 20, causing the compression of the spring 19 to gradually increase, and the pressure also gradually increases. When the pressure value transmitted by the pressure sensor 21 reaches the designed working pressure of the spring 19, the adjustment stops;

[0085] The worm gear drive adjustment method is adopted to make the compression amount of the spring 19 change slightly and controllable, and the pressure adjustment accuracy is higher.

[0086] During normal casting operations, this device can set a pressure alarm safety value. When the pressure sensor 21 detects that the pressure value of the spring 19 drops below the pressure alarm safety value, it provides an alarm indication to remind the operator to take corresponding measures in time to prevent air absorption between plates and oxidation penetration of steel during casting operations under low spring pressure.

[0087] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
