AI Technical Summary
The small hole designed at the bottom of the submerged nozzle increases the flow velocity of the steel outlet, which easily causes molten steel splashing and eddy currents, affecting the flow field of the crystallizer, which may cause inclusions in the steel billet and reduce the quality of the casting.
The combined design of nozzle body, inclined guide outlet, fixed inner boss, cross rectifier and conical tapping port is adopted to form stable horizontal flow and multiple streams by controlling the flow velocity and direction of molten steel, thus reducing the turbulent state of swirl and preventing slag entrapment in eddy currents.
Effectively control the outflow speed of molten steel, reduce molten steel splashing, stabilize the flow field, improve the quality of castings, avoid eddy current slag, and improve the purity of cast billets.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of refractory materials for steel and relates to an immersion nozzle for preventing eddy currents. Background Art
[0002] A submerged nozzle is a device used in the steelmaking and casting process, primarily for transferring molten metal from the tundish to the crystallizer. The design and use of submerged nozzles play an important role in controlling metal flow, reducing inclusions, and improving casting quality. Submerged nozzles generally adopt a multi-hole design at the bottom, meaning multiple small holes are designed at the end of the nozzle to disperse the metal flow. This design can reduce the impact force of the flow and lower the turbulence within the crystallizer. However, due to the small aperture of the small holes designed at the bottom of the submerged nozzle, the flow velocity of the steel flow at the bottom of the submerged nozzle increases, making it more likely to cause steel splashing. Furthermore, the impact strength of the steel flow increases with the increase in the outlet flow velocity, leading to vortices in the crystallizer flow field. The vortices will stir the protective slag, potentially causing vortex slag entanglement, which can lead to inclusion hazards in the billet and affect the quality of the cast billet. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention uses a new type of eddy current-preventing submerged nozzle, which mainly consists of a nozzle body (1), an inclined diversion outlet (2), a fixed inner boss (3), a cross-rectifier (4), and a conical steel outlet (5). The nozzle body (1) is 1000mm-2000mm long, and an inclined diversion outlet (2) is set 200mm-500mm away from the bottom end of the nozzle body (1). The number of inclined diversion outlets (2) is 2-4, and the cross section of the inclined diversion outlet (2) is an inverted arc rectangle. The length of the rectangle ranges from 200mm to 600mm, the arc chamfer angle is 5°-15°, and the angle between the cross section plane of the inclined diversion outlet (2) and the cross section of the nozzle body (1) is 5°-10°. 3-4 fixed inner bosses (3) are arranged on the inner bottom surface of the nozzle body (1), the fixed inner bosses (3) have a height of 50mm-200mm and a width of 50mm-150mm, the upper end surface of the fixed inner bosses (3) forms an angle of 10-15° with the horizontal, a cross-rectifier (4) is arranged on the lower end surface of the nozzle body (1), a conical steel outlet (5) is arranged at the center of the cross-rectifier (4), the conical steel outlet (5) passes through the fixed inner bosses (3), and the taper of the conical steel outlet (5) is 3°-8°.
[0004] When the molten steel passes through the fixed inner boss, due to the effect of gravity, a stable flat flow is formed in the bottom area of the nozzle, which can effectively control the outflow speed of the molten steel. The molten steel with a consistent speed flows out through the inclined guide outlet and forms multiple stable streams, quickly dispersing the molten steel in the crystallizer flow field. The cross rectifier and the conical outlet (5) can ensure the reduction and stabilization of the stream speed. The function of the conical outlet is to effectively reduce the outlet steel flow speed by changing the outlet radius of the steel flow; the cross rectifier can effectively change the vortex turbulence state of the steel flow outlet, reduce the outlet flow speed of the steel flow, and avoid vortex slag.
