[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. Figures 1 to 2 As shown:

[0016] Example 1: A constant temperature casting device for a tundish for reducing slag inclusions comprises a casting chamber 1 and a steel receiving chamber 2. A steel inlet 3 is provided at the upper end of the steel receiving chamber 2. The steel receiving chamber 2 is provided with two molten steel flow channels 4. Molten steel poured out of the refining furnace enters the steel receiving chamber 2 from the steel inlet 3 and flows from the steel receiving chamber 2 into the two molten steel flow channels 4. The molten steel flows from the molten steel flow channels 4 into the casting chamber 1.

[0017] A heating mechanism 5 is provided between the steel receiving chamber 2 and the pouring chamber 1. The heating mechanism 5 is sleeved on the outside of the molten steel flow channel 4. The heating mechanism 5 heats the molten steel flowing in the molten steel flow channel 4 to compensate for the heat loss of the molten steel entering the tundish, so that the temperature of the molten steel remains constant. A temperature measuring mechanism 6 is inserted into the pouring chamber 1 to monitor the temperature of the molten steel entering the pouring chamber 1, thereby providing a reference for the upper steel temperature.

[0018] Both ends of the casting cavity 1 are provided with a stopper rod mechanism 7, and the casting cavity 1 at the lower end of the stopper rod mechanism 7 is correspondingly provided with a water nozzle. The stopper rod mechanism 7 controls the opening and closing of the water nozzle and is used to discharge the molten steel in the casting cavity 1. After the molten steel is poured out of the refining furnace, it enters the steel receiving cavity 2 along the steel inlet 3. During the time when the molten steel stays in the steel receiving cavity 2, large particles of slag inclusions float up, reducing the slag inclusions in the molten steel. The molten steel enters the casting cavity 1 along the molten steel flow channel 4. After entering the casting cavity 1, the molten steel flows upward, and the floating of slag inclusions is utilized to improve the purity of the molten steel, thereby improving the quality of the casting.

[0019] Example 2: A constant temperature casting device for a tundish for reducing slag inclusions comprises a casting chamber 1 and a receiving chamber 2. A steel inlet 3 is provided at the upper end of the receiving chamber 2. The receiving chamber 2 is provided with two molten steel flow channels 4. Molten steel poured out of the refining furnace enters the receiving chamber 2 from the steel inlet 3 and flows from the receiving chamber 2 into the two molten steel flow channels 4. The molten steel flows from the molten steel flow channels 4 into the casting chamber 1.

[0020] A heating mechanism 5 is provided between the steel receiving cavity 2 and the pouring cavity 1. The heating mechanism 5 is sleeved on the outside of the molten steel flow channel 4. The heating mechanism 5 is an electromagnetic induction heating coil. The heating mechanism 5 heats the molten steel flowing in the molten steel flow channel 4 to compensate for the heat loss of the molten steel entering the tundish, so that the temperature of the molten steel remains constant. The induced current generated by the electromagnetic induction heating coil produces a pinching force on the molten steel in the molten steel flow channel 4 to remove small inclusions. The electromagnetic induction heating coil is provided with a circulating water cooling mechanism to avoid damage to the electromagnetic induction heating coil due to high temperature.

[0021] A temperature measuring mechanism 6 is inserted into the pouring cavity 1 to monitor the temperature of the molten steel entering the pouring cavity 1, thereby providing a reference for the upper steel temperature. The temperature measuring mechanism 6 has two continuous temperature measuring rods, which are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] Both ends of the casting cavity 1 are provided with stopper rod mechanisms 7, and the casting cavity 1 at the lower end of the stopper rod mechanism 7 is correspondingly provided with a water outlet. The stopper rod mechanism 7 controls the opening and closing of the water outlet and is used to discharge the molten steel in the casting cavity 1. A slag dam 8 is provided in the casting cavity 1. The slag dam 8 is provided on the outside of the water outlet, and a diversion hole 9 is provided on the slag dam 8.

[0023] The specific working process is as follows: after the molten steel is poured out from the refining furnace, it enters the steel receiving chamber 2 along the steel inlet 3. During the time when the molten steel stays in the steel receiving chamber 2, large particles of slag inclusions float up, reducing the slag inclusions in the molten steel. The molten steel enters the casting chamber 1 along the molten steel flow channel 4. During the flow in the molten steel flow channel 4, the electromagnetic induction heating coil uses electromagnetic induction to heat the molten steel in the molten steel flow channel 4 to compensate for the temperature loss of the molten steel. After entering the casting chamber 1, the molten steel flows upward, and the floating of slag inclusions is used to improve the purity of the molten steel, thereby improving the quality of the casting.
