Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ladle sliding gate, specifically an argon-blown sliding plate ladle sliding gate mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the continuous casting process of steel plants, a ladle sliding gate mechanism is required. This mechanism uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive the sliding frame component in a reciprocating motion to control the molten steel flow. The existing ladle sliding gate mechanism lacks a dispersion block and ventilation function in its lower slide plate, making it impossible to guarantee the self-opening of the VC vacuum casting ladle sliding gate mechanism, thus hindering continuous casting without slag runoff and preventing secondary oxygen burning, which disrupts the steel plant's production rhythm. Secondly, most existing slide plate installations employ a clamping structure design within the slide plate cavity. When the slide plate needs to be replaced, and to expedite the replacement process without affecting converter operation, a hot replacement is required. However, the clamping structure design reduces replacement efficiency and can easily lead to "false" installation at high temperatures. Utility Model Content
