[0025] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 The auxiliary cooling device for the continuous casting roller table of the utility model, which is suitable for high-performance vanadium-containing molten steel, is now described. The auxiliary cooling device for the continuous casting roller table of the utility model, which is suitable for high-performance vanadium-containing molten steel, comprises a water supply ring 1, a spray pipe 2, and a nozzle 3. The water supply ring 1 is arranged between the flame cutting machine 6 and the conveying roller 7. The water supply ring 1 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying roller 7 and is used to be connected to the water supply pipe 8. The water supply ring 1 is used to surround the outer periphery of the ingot. The spray pipe 2 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying roller 7. Several spray pipes 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the water supply ring 1. Several nozzles 3 are provided on the circumferential wall of each spray pipe 2. The nozzles 3 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the spray pipe 2 to spray cooling water onto the outer peripheral wall of the ingot to cool the ingot sent from the flame cutting machine 6 to the conveying roller 7.

[0026] The present embodiment provides an auxiliary cooling device for the roller of a continuous casting machine suitable for high-performance vanadium-containing molten steel. Compared with the prior art, the auxiliary cooling device for the roller of a continuous casting machine suitable for high-performance vanadium-containing molten steel provided by the present embodiment is arranged between the fire cutting machine 6 and the conveying pipeline, and uses the water supply ring 1 to supply cooling water to the spray pipe 2, and uses the nozzle 3 to spray the cooling water onto the ingot. There are multiple nozzles 3, which spray cooling water on the ingot from multiple directions such as up, down, left and right to achieve uniform cooling of the ingot, effectively cool the ingot, make the ingot meet the temperature requirements in the subsequent rolling process, and ensure the rolling quality of the ingot.

[0027] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1 to 4 The water supply ring 1 is a polygonal ring, and the spray pipe 2 includes a main nozzle 21 and a side nozzle 22. The main nozzle 21 is located on the top and bottom edges of the water supply ring 1, and the side nozzle 22 is located on both sides of the water supply ring 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the water supply ring 1 employs a polygonal ring structure, which can be a quadrilateral, pentagonal, or hexagonal structure. The number of sides of the water supply ring 1 is preferably an even number to facilitate the layout of the nozzles. Taking the quadrilateral water supply ring 1 as an example, the main nozzles 21 are installed at the top and bottom edges of the water supply ring 1, and the side nozzles 22 are installed at the sides of the water supply ring 1, enabling spray cooling of the ingot in multiple directions, including top, bottom, left, and right.

[0029] By providing multiple spray pipes 2 in the circumferential direction of the water supply ring 1, water can be supplied to different positions of the billet. Specifically, the spray pipes 2 include a front nozzle 21 and a side nozzle 22. The front nozzle 21 is used to spray cooling water onto the top or bottom surface of the billet to effectively cool the horizontal plane of the billet. The side nozzle 22 is used to spray cooling water onto the sides of the billet to effectively cool the vertical plane of the billet, so that the peripheral wall of the billet is evenly cooled, ensuring the uniformity of the subsequent billet temperature.

[0030] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 4 Two positive nozzles 21 are arranged in parallel on the same side of the water supply ring 1, and the nozzle 3 includes a positive nozzle 31 arranged at the bottom or top of the positive nozzle 21, and the positive nozzle 31 is used to spray cooling water onto the top wall or bottom wall of the casting.

[0031] In this embodiment, a plurality of positive nozzles 31 are provided on the positive nozzle 21. The plurality of positive nozzles 31 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the positive nozzle 21 and are arranged toward one side of the ingot. They can realize cooling effect on different areas corresponding to different positions in the length direction of the ingot, which helps to improve the cooling efficiency.

[0032] Similarly, a plurality of side nozzles 32 are provided on the side nozzle pipe 22. The plurality of side nozzles 32 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the main nozzle pipe 21 and are arranged toward one side of the ingot. They can realize cooling effect on different areas corresponding to different positions in the length direction of the ingot, which helps to improve the cooling efficiency.

[0033] Specifically, since the size of the ingot in the width direction is larger than that in the height direction, two main nozzles 21 are arranged in parallel on the same side of the water supply ring 1, and one side nozzle 22 is provided on the same side of the water supply ring 1, so that different positions of the outer peripheral wall of the ingot can be effectively covered by cooling water, which helps to improve the uniformity of cooling and at the same time increases the total amount of cooling water sprayed on the ingot per unit time, which helps to improve the cooling effect.

[0034] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1 to 4The spray pipe 2 is connected to the water supply ring 1 and extends horizontally toward the side near the conveyor roller 7. As the billet is fed backward from the flame cutter 6, it first passes through the water supply ring 1 and is then cooled by the front nozzle 31 and side nozzle 32. To ensure effective cooling, the billet can be passed through the water supply ring 1 and the spray pipe 2 at a low and uniform speed, allowing the cooling water to fully act on the billet surface. Furthermore, by briefly allowing the billet to remain at the water supply ring 1 for a short period of time after the start of production, effective cooling can be achieved at the corresponding position of the billet.

[0035] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1 to 4 The inner circumference of the water supply ring 1 is also provided with auxiliary nozzles 33. Two auxiliary nozzles 33 are spaced apart at the upper portion of the inner circumference of the water supply ring 1, and two auxiliary nozzles 33 are also spaced apart at the lower portion of the inner circumference of the water supply ring 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, auxiliary nozzles 33 provided on the inner periphery of the water supply ring 1 can provide auxiliary spraying for the cast billet, further improving the spraying efficiency. Two auxiliary nozzles 33 are provided, arranged in a row with the main nozzles 31 on the two main nozzle pipes 21, meeting the spray cooling requirements of the cast billet.

[0037] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1 to 4 The continuous casting machine roller auxiliary cooling device suitable for high-performance vanadium-containing molten steel also includes a mounting frame 4 arranged at the inlet end of the conveyor roller 7, the mounting frame 4 includes a supporting plate 41 and a connecting vertical plate 42, the supporting plate 41 is supported under the water supply ring 1 and the lower spray pipe 2, the connecting vertical plate 42 is connected to the supporting plate 41 and is arranged away from the conveyor roller 7, and the side of the water supply ring 1 is provided with a connecting ear 43 corresponding to the connecting vertical plate 42, and the connecting ear 43 is connected to the connecting vertical plate 42 through a connecting piece.

[0038] In this embodiment, a mounting bracket 4 is provided for ease of installation and fixation. Mounting bracket 4 is fixedly positioned between the flame cutter 6 and the conveyor roller 7. The water supply ring 1 and spray pipe 2 are removable as a whole. When the ingots on the flame cutter 6 are not made of low-alloy steel, there are no special requirements for the ingot's hot entry temperature. In this case, the water supply ring 1 and spray pipe 2 can be disassembled and set aside, simplifying the structure and facilitating orderly conveyance of the ingots.

[0039] Specifically, the feed end of the water supply ring 1 is also equipped with a support arm 5. This support arm 5 is arranged parallel to the spray pipe 2 and is located between the top and side edges of the water supply ring 1 or between the bottom and side edges of the water supply ring 1. The length of the support arm 5 is greater than the length of the spray pipe 2. After the water supply ring 1 and the spray pipe 2 are completely disassembled, the support arm 5 can be used for support. At this time, the water supply ring 1 needs to be rotated 90° so that its main axis is in the vertical direction. The support of the support arm 5 can prevent the spray pipe 2 from being squeezed and damaged, facilitating subsequent installation and use.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the continuous casting machine roller auxiliary cooling device suitable for high-performance vanadium-containing molten steel also includes a controller, which is used to send start and stop signals to the flame cutter 6 and the conveyor roller 7 to drive the cast billet to stop or move.

[0041] In this embodiment, a controller is used to control the operation of the conveyor rollers 7 and the flame cutter 6. After the billet is conveyed into the water supply ring 1, the controller sends a stop command to the conveyor rollers 7 and the flame cutter 6, causing them to remain stopped. At this time, the billet can be stably positioned in this position and is fully cooled by the front nozzles 31 and side nozzles 32 until it meets the subsequent rolling requirements. The controller then sends a start command to the conveyor rollers 7 and the flame cutter 6, causing the billet to be conveyed backward in an orderly manner.

[0042] On the basis of the above structure, the controller is also electrically connected to a proximity switch and a timer. The proximity switch is used to monitor the billet on the conveyor roller 7 and send a monitoring signal to the controller. The timer is used to receive the timing instruction of the controller and send the timing parameters to the controller. By setting the proximity switch, it is possible to detect whether the billet has reached the water supply pipe position. When the billet reaches this position, the proximity switch sends a monitoring signal to the controller. The controller analyzes according to the preset program and sends a stop instruction to the fire cutter 6 and the conveyor roller 7, and sends a timing instruction to the timer. At this time, the billet stops running, and the front nozzle 31 and the side nozzle 32 spray cooling water on the billet. After the timer counts to the preset time, it sends timing information to the controller. The controller determines that the cooling time has been met according to the preset program. After that, the controller sends a start instruction to the fire cutter 6 and the conveyor roller 7. The billet continues to be transported backward, meeting the cooling needs of the billet.

[0043] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
