[0003] Each kind of steel material is designed with special components, steelmaking process, continuous casting process, slab constant temperature dehydrogenation denitrogenation, low-temperature preheating, high-temperature rapid heating process, large compression ratio rolling process and heat treatment process according to special use position, environment and purpose to meet the use requirements of users, especially the wear-resistant steel plate with high strength grade requirement, good impact performance, high surface and core hardness and high flaw detection level, the rare earth and alloy addition amount in molten steel composition is relatively more, the internal and external cracks of continuous casting billet are relatively high in temperature and gas sensitivity, in order to discharge the hydrogen and nitrogen in the internal casting billet, avoid the post-rolling crack on the surface of steel plate, especially the thick steel plate, cannot be directly loaded or hot-loaded for production, needs to be concentrated after offline stacking heat preservation and exhaust, slowly release the internal gas of slab while reducing the surface crack defect caused by large temperature difference between internal and external slab during heating in heating furnace, the initial low-temperature small-gradient slow preheating is required when the casting billet is heated in heating furnace, and then the casting billet can be rapidly heated to target discharge temperature when the internal temperature of the casting billet reaches the plastic interval above 450 DEG C, the preheating process of the casting billet is very important, and will directly affect the internal flaw detection result of finished product;
[0004] According to the search patent number CN209456513U "a preheating type heat preservation pit", a simple fuel pipe nozzle and oxygen pipe nozzle are used to mix and burn two kinds of gas before the forged steel material enters the heat preservation pit, which preheats the heat preservation pit, the fuel combustion efficiency of this technology is low, the heating capacity is small, and the temperature control is not flexible;

[0006] According to the search patent number CN2858121Y "A Hot Steel Billet Insulation Pit", a conventional hot slab insulation pit is provided. This technology does not involve heating inside the insulation pit.
[0007] For some temperature-sensitive steel grades, slow cooling by stacking in extremely cold winter temperatures is difficult to achieve, let alone slow heat preservation and exhaust. Typically, slabs are stacked in underground slow-cooling pits to minimize the rate of temperature drop. However, this method, lacking an external heat source, cannot control the constant temperature and time at a specific temperature according to different process requirements. It can only minimize heat loss and slow the rate of temperature drop, reducing internal and surface shrinkage stress as much as possible. For rare earth wear-resistant steel and rare earth bridge steel, excessively rapid cooling can still lead to quality problems such as steel plate cracks, non-compliance in flaw detection, and low impact resistance. In severe cases, the slab may break during heating within the furnace, causing major production accidents. For some slabs with long preheating times, this significantly impacts the production efficiency of the heating furnace. Therefore, we propose a continuous casting slab constant-temperature preheating device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
