[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0035] As mentioned in the background, during continuous casting, narrow copper plates on the chamfered mold surface are typically used to cool the billet. However, due to the existing water slot structure, the cooling water velocity in the chamfered sections on either side is significantly lower than that in the central flat section, preventing uniform cooling. This makes continuous casting prone to longitudinal cracking and steel leaks in the chamfered billet, hindering smooth production and reducing billet surface quality.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The chamfered narrow-surface copper plate 100 for achieving uniform cooling provided in the embodiment of the present invention can solve the above-mentioned problem, which will be described in detail below.

[0037] The chamfered crystallizer narrow copper plate 100 for achieving uniform cooling includes a flat plate portion 110 and a chamfered portion 120 connected to each other; wherein, the flat plate portion 110 is provided with a first water gap 111, and the chamfered portion 120 is provided with a second water gap 121 and a third water gap 122. A connecting water channel 140 is provided at the connection between the chamfered portion 120 and the flat plate portion 110, and the second water gap 121 and the third water gap 122 are simultaneously connected to the connecting water channel 140, and the connecting water channel 140 and the first water gap 111 are both used to connect the water supply channel.

[0038] During operation, the second water gap 121 and the third water gap 122 are connected to the connecting water channel 140, thereby fully ensuring the water speed of the second water gap 121 and the third water gap 122 located in the chamfered portion 120, providing a uniform cooling effect, significantly improving the uniformity of solidification and heat transfer of the chamfered billet, and helping to solve the problems of longitudinal cracks and crack leakage of the chamfered billet that are prone to occur in high-speed continuous casting production, ensuring smooth production and improving the surface quality of the billet.

[0039] It is worth noting that in order to ensure that the second water gap 121 has a sufficient water speed as much as possible, the water entry area of ​​the second water gap 121 can be made no less than the water entry area of ​​the first water gap 111 and the third water gap 122, thereby facilitating the entry of water into the second water gap 121.

[0040] In this embodiment, the axial cross-section of the first water gap 111 is rectangular, with a curved bottom surface. The axial cross-section of the second water gap 121 is circular, and the axial cross-section of the third water gap 122 is also rectangular. That is, the first water gap 111 and the third water gap 122 can be considered rectangular water gaps, while the second water gap 121 can be considered a circular water gap. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional shapes of the first water gap 111, the second water gap 121, and the third water gap 122 can also be fan-shaped, triangular, prismatic, or other shapes, and the specific cross-sectional shapes of the three are not limited.

[0041] In this embodiment, the narrow copper plate 100 of the chamfered crystallizer for achieving uniform cooling has two chamfered portions 120, which are respectively located on both sides of the flat plate portion 110, and the bottom surface of the chamfered portion 120 is flush with the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 110, and the top surface of the chamfered portion 120 protrudes from the end surface of the flat plate portion 110, and the height of the top surface of the chamfered portion 120 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the other chamfered portion 120 until it is connected to the top surface of the flat plate portion 110. The narrow copper plate 100 of the chamfered crystallizer for achieving uniform cooling can be regarded as a U-shaped structure.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The cross-section of the connecting water channel 140 is rectangular; the width of the connecting water channel 140 can be W, wherein 3mm≤W≤10mm, and the length of the connecting water channel 140 can be L, wherein 30mm≤L≤100mm.

[0043] Specifically, the size of W can be 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, etc., preferably W = 5mm, and there is no limitation on the specific size of W; similarly, the size of L can be 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, preferably L = 50mm, and there is no limitation on the specific size of L.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the cross-section of the connecting water channel 140 may also be a trapezoid, a triangle, a fan, or other shapes, and the specific cross-sectional shape of the connecting water channel 140 is not limited.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In order to improve the overall cooling effect of the flat plate portion 110 , the number of the first water slots 111 may be at least three, and the at least three first water slots 111 may be arranged at equal intervals.

[0046] In this embodiment, the number of first water slits 111 is eight, and the eight first water slits 111 are equidistantly spaced and of equal length. Furthermore, the depth of the first water slits 111 on both sides is greater than the depth of the first water slit 111 in the middle. The first water slits 111 on both sides can be understood as first water slits 111 relatively close to the second water slit 121 or the third water slit 122, that is, the depth of the two first water slits 111 on both sides is greater than the depth of the six first water slits 111 in the middle, and the depths of the six first water slits 111 in the middle are equal. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the number of first water slits 111 can also be three, six, nine, twelve, etc., and there is no limitation on the specific number of first water slits 111. Similarly, under the condition of basically satisfying cooling uniformity, the depth of all the first water gaps 111 can be made consistent, or the depth of the first water gap 111 located in the middle can be made greater than the depth of the first water gaps 111 located on both sides. There is no limitation on the relative depth relationship of the first water gaps 111 at different positions.

[0047] It's worth noting that to ensure effective cooling of the chamfered portion 120, the number of second water slots 121 defined within a single chamfered portion 120 can be set to K, where 1 ≤ K ≤ 2. In this embodiment, a single chamfered portion 120 defines one second water slot 121; however, in other embodiments of the present invention, a single chamfered portion 120 can also define two second water slots 121. For relatively large chamfered portions 120, to ensure uniform cooling of the large chamfered portion 120, K = 2, with the two second water slots 121 spaced apart and connected to the connecting water channel 140.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The extension length of the second water gap 121 and the extension length of the third water gap 122 are not less than the extension length of the first water gap 111. Preferably, the extension length of the second water gap 121 can be equal to the extension length of the third water gap 122 and the extension length of the first water gap 111.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 In actual use, the chamfered narrow copper plate 100 for achieving uniform cooling should also include a back plate 170, a water supply pipe 180 and a drainage pipe 190. The back plates 170 are two and are respectively provided with a water supply channel and a drainage channel.

[0050] One end of the water supply channel is connected to the connecting water channel 140 and one end of the first water gap 111, and the other end of the water supply channel is connected to the water supply pipe 180. One end of the drainage channel is connected to the connecting water channel 140 and the other end of the first water gap 111, and the other end of the drainage channel is connected to the drainage pipe 190.

[0051] That is, it can be understood that the water supply channel is located at the lower side of one chamfered portion 120 , and the drainage channel is located at the lower side of the other chamfered portion 120 . The water supply pipe 180 is used to supply water through the water supply channel, and the drainage channel is used to drain water through the drainage pipe 190 .

[0052] In addition, the back panel 170 includes a first section 171 and a second section 172 that are vertically connected. The first section 171 is parallel to the flat plate portion 110. The ends of the two first sections 171 that are close to each other are respectively connected to the water supply pipe 180 and the drainage pipe 190. The ends of the two first sections 171 that are away from each other are respectively connected to the two second sections 172. The top ends of the two second sections 172 are simultaneously connected to the flat plate portion 110 and the chamfered portion 120.

[0053] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second section 172 is smaller than that of the first section 171. Therefore, although the first water slot 111 is directly connected to the water supply channel on the back plate 170, due to the limited cross-sectional area of ​​the second section 172, only a small section at the end of the first water slot 111 is accessible for water entry.

[0054] It is worth noting that in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the back panel 170, a mounting hole 160 can be opened on the side of the flat panel part 110 close to the back panel 170, and a through hole or a blind hole corresponding to the mounting hole 160 can be opened on the back panel 170, and then a pin or bolt can be inserted into the mounting hole 160 and the through hole (or blind hole) to achieve a detachable connection between the flat panel part 110 and the back panel 170.

[0055] In summary, the chamfered mold narrow copper plate 100 for achieving uniform cooling provided by the embodiments of the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0056] (1) By making the second water gap 121 and the third water gap 122 connected to the connecting water channel 140, it is fully ensured that the second water gap 121 and the third water gap 122 located in the chamfered portion 120 have a sufficiently high water speed, providing a uniform cooling effect, significantly improving the uniformity of solidification and heat transfer of the chamfered billet, and helping to solve the problems of longitudinal cracks and crack leakage of the chamfered billet that are prone to occur in high-speed continuous casting production, ensuring smooth production and improving the surface quality of the billet.

[0057] (2) By significantly increasing the water inlet area of ​​the second water gap 121, it is ensured that the cooling water speed of the second water gap 121 is not lower than the cooling water speed of the first water gap 111 and the cooling water speed of the third water gap 122, thereby providing a uniform cooling effect and reducing the negative impact on the growth of the shell.

[0058] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
