[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The continuous casting segment is one of the key large-scale equipment in the continuous casting production line. After the liquid steel comes out of the crystallizer, it moves forward and cools in the roller table formed by the upper and lower frames of the segment until it forms a qualified steel billet. The continuous casting rollers are assembled on the continuous casting segment. Each continuous casting production line consists of 13-15 sets of segments according to the different specifications of the steel billets produced. A single set of segments consists of inner and outer arcs, and is equipped with a total of 14 sets of continuous casting rollers ( Figure 1 ).

[0025] The fan-shaped segment structure is complex, and the key is that the cooling water pipeline of nearly 100 meters is welded to the main body to provide circulating water cooling for the continuous casting roller bearings. It is necessary to ensure that the water channel welds are leak-proof.

[0026] During the pressure test, the pressure test plugs are often not universal because of the different structures of the fan-shaped segments, the different seat plate groove widths, and the different center distances of the water holes on the 5 seat plates. Figure 2 Each type of seat plate requires a corresponding pressure test cover plate to match, which results in a large workload for storing and keeping the tooling plates and high cost for making the tooling plates.

[0027] The utility model provides Figures 1 to 3 The shown embodiment is a universal pressure testing fixture suitable for waterway pressure testing of various continuous casting sector segments, comprising an inner arc frame 1 and an outer arc frame 4, wherein frame supports 6 are provided at opposite ends of the inner arc frame 1 and the outer arc frame 4, and connecting bolts 7 are provided between the frame supports 6 and the inner arc frame 1 and the outer arc frame 4.

[0028] When in use, the continuous casting segment is one of the key large-scale equipment in the continuous casting production line. After the liquid steel comes out of the crystallizer, it moves forward and cools in the roller table formed by the upper and lower frames of the segment until it forms a qualified steel billet. The continuous casting rollers 3 are assembled on the continuous casting segment. Each continuous casting production line consists of 13-15 sets of segments according to the specifications of the steel billets produced. A single set of segments consists of an inner arc frame 1 and an outer arc frame 4, and is equipped with a total of 14 sets of continuous casting rollers 3. Figure 1 The fan-shaped segment has a complex structure. The key is that a cooling water pipe 5 of nearly 100 meters is welded on its body to provide circulating water cooling for the bearings of the continuous casting roller 3. It is necessary to ensure that there is no leakage at the water channel welds.

[0029] Therefore, the present application fixes the frame support 6 on the opposite surfaces of the inner arc frame 1 and the outer arc frame 4 by connecting bolts 7 to perform a closed pressure test on the sector segment.

[0030] A first pressure test cover plate 10 is provided on both sides of the top of the frame support 6 . A through hole is provided at the top of the first pressure test cover plate 10 . The interior of the through hole is connected to the connecting bolt 7 .

[0031] The plug 11 is located at the bottom end of one side of the frame support 6 .

[0032] When in use, it is necessary to prepare for the pressure test. Often, due to the different structures of the fan-shaped segments, the different widths of the seat plate grooves, and the different center distances of the water holes on the 5 seat plates, the second pressure test cover plate 12 cannot be universal. Figure 2 Each type of seat plate requires a corresponding pressure test cover plate to match, which results in a large workload for storing and keeping the tooling plates and high cost for making the tooling plates.

[0033] Therefore, the present application divides the first pressure test cover plate 10 into two sections, which are fixed on the frame support 6 by connecting bolts 7 respectively. The first pressure test cover plate 10 is a horizontal bar and a vertical bar. One side of the horizontal bar is connected to the connecting bolt 7, and the bottom end of the horizontal bar on the other side is used to press the plug 11, and the vertical bar is used to support the horizontal bar, so that the height of the horizontal bar and the two ends of the frame support 6 are at the same horizontal plane, which is convenient for connection with the connecting bolts 7.

[0034] A channel 9 is symmetrically formed on the end surface of the frame support 6 , and a plug 11 is connected to one end of the channel 9 .

[0035] When in use, the channel 9 of the frame support 6 is opened below the first pressure test cover plate 10, and the inside of the channel 9 is connected to a plug 11, which is used to seal the channel 9 to prevent water from flowing out of the channel 9 during the pressure test, causing errors in the pressure test.

[0036] A groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the plug 11 , and a sealing ring 8 is clamped inside the groove.

[0037] The sealing ring 8 is located between the plug 11 and the channel 9 .

[0038] When in use, the sealing ring 8 on the outer cylindrical surface of the plug 11 is used to seal the channel 9 to prevent leakage in the seal between the plug 11 and the channel 9, which would cause the cooling water to flow out.

[0039] The inner arc frame 1 and the outer arc frame 4 are connected with a pipe 5 , and the pipe 5 is communicated with a channel 9 .

[0040] When in use, the pipe 5 provides cooling water to the inner arc frame 1 and the outer arc frame 4, and the cooling water is connected to the channel 9. Then the plug 11 blocks the channel 9 so that the cooling water is inside the channel 9 to detect whether the channel 9 is leaking.

[0041] How it works

[0042] When preparing for the pressure test, the fixed plate 2 and the continuous casting roller 3 are removed from one end of the inner arc frame 1 and the outer arc frame 4, and the frame support 6 is connected to the inner arc frame 1 and the outer arc frame 4 by connecting bolts 7. Then the first pressure test cover plate 10 is fixed to the frame support 6 by connecting bolts 7 respectively. The first pressure test cover plate 10 is a horizontal bar and a vertical bar. One side of the horizontal bar is connected to the connecting bolt 7, and the bottom end of the horizontal bar on the other side is used to press the plug 11, and the vertical bar is used to support the horizontal bar so that the height of the horizontal bar and the two ends of the frame support 6 are in the same horizontal plane, which is convenient for connection with the connecting bolts 7. The channel 9 of the frame support 6 is opened below the first pressure test cover plate 10, and the inside of the channel 9 is connected to the plug 11. The plug 11 is used to seal the channel 9 to prevent water from flowing out of the channel 9 during the pressure test, causing errors in the pressure test.

[0043] The first pressure test cover plate 10 can be applied to universal pressure test structures with various groove widths and water hole center distances, which reduces costs and reduces the types of tooling. The pressure test cover plate is changed to a half-piece type, which can be adjusted according to different groove widths. A plug 11 for sealing the water hole is added, and the plug 11 is used as a handle for easy disassembly and assembly. The plug 11 of the first pressure test cover plate 10 is machined at a hole position platform, which can be used to observe whether there is water leakage.

[0044] The sealing ring 8 on the outer cylindrical surface of the plug 11 is used to seal the channel 9 to prevent leakage between the plug 11 and the channel 9, which would cause the cooling water to flow out.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
