Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steel pouring safety technology, especially to a vacuum induction furnace steel pouring tundish. BACKGROUND
[0002] The vacuum induction furnace has very strict control requirements on the quality of finished steel ingot, the internal forming texture uniformity of the finished steel ingot after steel pouring, etc. The tundish is a bridge for realizing the transition of finished molten steel from a vacuum melting crucible to a vacuum pouring steel ingot mold forming steel ingot, and plays a very important role in the whole vacuum induction furnace smelting procedure. After the finished molten steel sampling is qualified, the steel pouring tundish that is baked, heated and kept at a temperature (950℃-1050℃) needs to be hoisted into the tundish room, and after the vacuum is extracted and qualified, the vacuum melting steel molten steel is poured into the steel ingot mold through the tundish. After the steel molten steel in the steel ingot mold is cooled, the emptying and demolding operation is performed to complete the finished steel ingot. The tundish needs to be kept at a high temperature of 950℃ or above during the hoisting and inserting into the tundish room, and the operation frequency is high, which leads to the difficulty of high-temperature hot operation of the smelting workers. How to safely, quickly and efficiently complete the tundish hoisting operation has become a pain point and difficulty of the vacuum induction furnace steel pouring.
[0003] Therefore, the tundish needs to be hoisted and covered with a heat preservation cover plate before it comes out of the baking furnace to reduce the temperature loss of the steel pouring tundish and isolate the high temperature from the hoisting operators to some extent. This process is complicated, and in order to ensure the balance of the tundish during hoisting, the special lifting tool needs to be frequently replaced. The hoisting point of the tundish is arranged in the two side niches, and the operators need to position it before hoisting, which leads to the difficulty of fixing the hoisting and the difficulty of dismounting the lifting tool, and there is a safety hazard. At the same time, the difficulty of fixing the hoisting also leads to the fact that the steel pouring tundish cannot be transported in time, or the temperature of the tundish cannot meet the steel pouring baking temperature due to the long transportation time, which directly affects the steel tapping and the quality of the steel ingot.

[0028] The vacuum induction furnace steel pouring tundish comprises a bearing bottom box 1, which is provided at the outermost side and is used to provide a mounting position. The bearing bottom box 1 comprises a bottom plate 101, two short side enclosing plates 103 and two long side enclosing plates 102, the two long side enclosing plates 102 are oppositely arranged, and the two short side enclosing plates 103 are oppositely arranged; the two long side enclosing plates 102 and the two short side enclosing plates 103 are both vertically fixed to the edges of the bottom plate 101, that is, the two short side enclosing plates 103 are vertically arranged with the two short sides of the bottom plate 101, the two long side enclosing plates 102 are vertically arranged with the two long sides of the bottom plate 101, and the two long side enclosing plates 102, the two short side enclosing plates 103 and the bottom plate 101 jointly enclose a rectangular parallelepiped structure with an open top.
[0029] In order to facilitate the entry and exit of molten steel into the tundish, a molten steel inlet 4 and a molten steel outlet 5 are arranged on the bottom plate 101. Preferably, the molten steel inlet 4 is arranged at one end of the bottom plate 101, and two molten steel inlets 4 are arranged to improve the efficiency of pouring molten steel into the tundish and minimize the loss of molten steel temperature. The molten steel outlet 5 is arranged at the end of the bottom plate 101 opposite to the molten steel inlet 4, the molten steel outlet 5 is provided with one, and the diameter of the molten steel outlet 5 is greater than that of the molten steel inlet 4.
[0030] Further, the hollow heat insulation cavities 2 are formed inside the two long side plates 102, and the trunnion 3 assemblies are arranged on the two long side plates 102 and used for connecting with the chain hangers. Specifically, each trunnion 3 assembly includes at least two trunnions 3 arranged along the length direction of the cuboid structure, and the first end of each trunnion 3 is fixed to the long side plate 102, and the second end of each trunnion 3 protrudes from the long side plate 102 and is arranged in a direction away from the surface of the long side plate 102 facing the other long side plate 102.
[0031] Further, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the second end of the trunnion 3 is provided with a blocking mechanism for preventing the chain hanger connected with the trunnion 3 from falling off the trunnion 3. The blocking mechanism cooperates with the trunnion 3 to form a limiting mechanism for limiting the chain hanger in a direction perpendicular to the long side plate 102. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the second end of the trunnion 3 is provided with a blocking mechanism for preventing the chain hanger connected with the trunnion 3 from falling off the trunnion 3.
