Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of refractory bricks, and more particularly to a cast tube brick. Background Art
[0002] In the continuous steel casting process, cast pipe bricks play a vital role in the shaping of molten steel. The flow state of molten steel in the cast pipe bricks directly affects the quality of the ingot and the stability of the entire casting process.
[0003] Currently, traditional cast pipe bricks typically utilize a single inner diameter structure. Once molten steel enters the brick, its flow rate changes relatively uniformly, making it difficult to regulate the flow. For example, when a large flow of molten steel enters, the subsequent flow rate cannot be effectively moderated. While attempts have been made to improve the inner diameter structure of cast pipe bricks in the related art, the complexity of these improved structures hinders the smooth manufacturing and forming of these improved cast steel bricks. Therefore, we have proposed a cast pipe brick to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0034] An upper opening 201 and a lower opening 202 are respectively provided at the center of the raised edge 5 and the concave edge 6 on the flow distribution section 2. The diameters of the inner walls of the upper opening 201, the lower opening 202 and the casting channel 101 are all equal. An open chamber 203 is provided inside the flow distribution section 2. The top and bottom of the open chamber 203 are respectively connected to the upper opening 201 and the lower opening 202. The inner wall diameter of the open chamber 203 is larger than the inner wall diameter of the upper opening 201. A conical flow distribution cover 204 is provided inside the open chamber 203. The cone tip at the top and the edge at the bottom of the conical flow distribution cover 204 are respectively parallel to the opening surfaces of the upper opening 201 and the lower opening 202, and the outer edge wall of the bottom of the conical flow distribution cover 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower opening 202 via a group of connecting rod sections 205.
[0035] An upper opening 2 301 is provided at the center of the raised edge 5 on the overflow section 3.

[0036] The use principle of this kind of cast pipe brick:
[0037] First, the upper docking section 1, the flow section 2, the overflow section 3 and the lower docking section 4 are modularly spliced through the corresponding concave edges 6 and convex edges 5 to form a complete cast tube brick structure. When the molten steel is poured through the pouring channel 101 of the upper docking section 1, the molten steel enters the open chamber 203 of the flow section 2 through the upper opening 1 201, and contacts the outer wall of the conical flow cover 204 for flow distribution. Then, the molten steel enters the upper opening 2 301 along the outer edge of the bottom of the conical flow cover 204 and the lower opening 202, and flows into the overflow chamber 302 for initial accumulation. At this time, as the liquid level continues to rise, when the liquid level is higher than the top of the overflow column 303, the molten steel flows downward through the overflow channel 3031, and then flows out along the pouring channel 101 of the lower docking section 4. At this time, the slow pouring process of the molten steel is completed.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] In view of the above embodiment 1, for further description, refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The upper docking section 1, the flow distribution section 2, the overflow section 3 and the lower docking section 4 are all cylindrical structures formed by high-temperature integral calcination, and the surfaces of the upper docking section 1, the flow distribution section 2, the overflow section 3 and the lower docking section 4 are smooth and free of burrs.
[0040] The upper docking section 1, the flow distribution section 2, the overflow section 3, and the lower docking section 4 are all cylindrical structures formed by high-temperature integral calcination, which can make the integrity of each section stronger. At the same time, the separate molding structure of each section facilitates the molding of the internal structure of each section, reduces the molding difficulty, and is conducive to production and manufacturing.
[0041] The upper butt joint section 1, the flow distribution section 2, the overflow section 3 and the lower butt joint section 4 have smooth and burr-free surfaces, making the surface of the cast pipe brick smoother and reducing the phenomenon of molten steel hanging on the wall;
[0042] By making the diameters of the inner walls of the upper opening 201, the lower opening 202 and the casting channel 101 equal, and the inner diameter of the upper opening 2 301 being equal to the inner diameter of the upper opening 201, the sizes of the docking openings can be made more consistent, reducing the phenomenon of stepped cross-section interference and avoiding interference with the flow of molten steel.

Any person skilled in the art who, within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or modifications based on the technical solutions and improved concepts of the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
