Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of continuous casting ladles, in particular to a more durable tundish refractory masonry structure. Background Art

[0002] The tundish is a refractory container used in short-process steelmaking. It first receives the molten steel poured from the ladle and then distributes it to each crystallizer. The tundish is the middle link in the steelmaking production process and the connection point from intermittent operation to continuous operation. As a metallurgical reactor, the tundish is an important link in improving steel production and quality. Whether it is for the smooth progress of continuous casting operations or for ensuring the quality of molten steel, the role of the tundish cannot be ignored. The main functions of the tundish are as follows:

[0003] (1) Diversion effect: For multi-strand continuous casting machines, the tundish with multiple nozzles diverts the molten steel;

[0004] (2) Continuous pouring: when multiple furnaces are poured continuously, the molten steel stored in the tundish plays a connecting role when the ladle is changed;

[0005] (3) Decompression effect. The liquid level in the ladle is 5-6m, which has a great impact and varies greatly during the casting process. The liquid level in the tundish is lower than that in the ladle and varies less. It can be used to stabilize the steel casting process and reduce the erosion of the steel flow on the solidified shell of the crystallizer.

[0006] (4) Protective effect: through the covering agent on the liquid surface of the tundish, the long nozzle and other protective devices, the contamination of the molten steel in the tundish by the outside world is reduced;

[0007] (5) The function of removing impurities: the tundish is the last refractory container that the molten steel passes through before solidification, which has an important impact on the quality of the steel. The particles of non-metallic impurities in the steel should be removed as much as possible while it is in a liquid state.

[0008] It can be seen that the tundish is the key thermal equipment in the continuous steel casting system, and it is also the main part of the continuous steel casting system that consumes refractory materials. Doing a good job in the research of refractory materials for the tundish is the key link to improve the continuous casting ratio. The refractory materials for the tundish can be divided into three categories based on their functions:

[0009] The first category is lining materials, which are mainly composed of insulation layer, permanent layer and working layer;

[0010] The second category is flow stabilizing components, including slag dams, retaining walls, ceramic filters, flow stabilizers, etc.

[0011] The third category is the flow control system, which includes stoppers, sliding nozzles, sizing nozzles, and submerged nozzles. Among these, the key functional refractory materials used in continuous casting, such as submerged nozzles, long nozzles, integral stoppers, sizing nozzles, and sliding nozzles, are the primary factor limiting the lifespan of continuous casting systems. Long nozzles and submerged nozzles are used to transport molten steel from the ladle to the tundish and vice versa, ensuring that the steel does not undergo secondary oxidation and preventing slag from entering the mold. Integral stoppers offer excellent sealing properties, and automated stopper-controlled steel flow technology has led to rapid development of sliding nozzles and integral stopper-controlled tundish steel flow technology.

[0012] To save costs, the ideal state for tundish refractory material usage is for the three different functional types of material to deteriorate synchronously. Similarly, to maximize the lifespan of the tundish, efforts should be made to extend the lifespan of each functional refractory material. Furthermore, tundishes currently experience refractory material shedding over time. This shedding easily becomes entangled in the molten steel, forming inclusions and affecting the surface quality of the billet. To address this issue, we have developed a more durable tundish refractory masonry structure. Utility Model Content

Diagonal steel bars are arranged between the multiple groups of vertical steel plates. A fixing mechanism is arranged inside the vertical steel plate, and the movable plate and the connecting rod are driven to move by the screw of the fixing mechanism, so that the connecting rod fixes the diagonal steel bar.

[0016] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a positioning cavity opened inside the vertical steel plate, the positioning cavity and the vertical steel plate are integrally formed, a plug-in block is provided on one side of the bottom of the oblique steel bar, the plug-in block and the oblique steel bar are welded, and the plug-in block is plugged into the inside of the vertical steel plate, and the movable plate is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning cavity.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the short steel bars of the present invention are composed of two Y-shaped steel bars welded into the interior of the layer plate, and the two short steel bars can form a plane in the vertical direction to provide better support. The horizontal steel bars and the vertical steel plates in the horizontal and vertical directions are connected to the short steel bars welded into the layer plate to form a horizontal and vertical mesh groove.

[0020] By planning and fixing the middle-wrapped masonry structure to form a mesh structure, the refractory material can be more evenly and stably stressed in all directions during masonry, and can be better combined with the refractory material in each steel bar grid, reducing or even preventing the refractory material from falling off during use;

[0021] The turntable drives the screw to rotate, and the screw drives the movable plate to move inside the positioning cavity. The movable plate drives the plug-in rod to penetrate the plug-in block, thereby fixing the plug-in block and the oblique steel bars, making it easier for the oblique steel bars to be fixed on the surface of the vertical steel plate, completing the fixation and making it more convenient to use.
