Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steel smelting technology, especially relates to a device for preventing steel sticking to continuous casting square billet nozzle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The square billet continuous casting production process is as follows: qualified molten steel after smelting treatment is transported to the ladle tundish turntable of the continuous casting machine through a ladle. The turntable accurately aims the ladle at the tundish, and then opens the ladle slide nozzle to allow the molten steel to flow smoothly into the tundish. The molten steel in the tundish enters the crystallizer through the submerged nozzle, and the molten steel rapidly cools and solidifies in the crystallizer to form a certain thickness of a shell, and at the same time, the cooling water device provided around the crystallizer sprays and cools the shell to ensure that the shell can uniformly and rapidly solidify. After the shell gradually thickens in the secondary cooling zone, the strand straightening device is started to smoothly pull out the casting billet from the crystallizer. During the pulling out process of the casting billet, the casting billet passes through the secondary cooling section for secondary cooling, further promoting the internal solidification of the casting billet. After the straightening treatment, the casting billet enters the cutting area and is accurately cut by the cutting equipment according to the pre-set length. The cut square billet is transported to the subsequent cooling link, storage area or directly hot sent to the rolling workshop for subsequent rolling processing. In the entire square billet continuous casting production process, the temperature, chemical composition, strand pulling speed, cooling water volume and many other key process parameters of the molten steel need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the finally produced square billet has excellent quality and the entire production process can maintain high efficiency.

[0003] As shown in Figures 1-2 In the square billet continuous casting production process, the continuous casting square billet nozzle 1 of the secondary cooling section is located directly below the crystallizer 4, the main body of the continuous casting square billet nozzle is in the shape of a cuboid, and the rear side thereof is connected to the spraying pipe 3 through two spaced apart connecting pipes 2. In the continuous casting square billet production process, the crystallizer leakage accident is difficult to avoid. When the crystallizer leaks, the molten steel will flow down the secondary cooling chamber and stick to the continuous casting square billet nozzle distributed in the secondary cooling section. The stuck nozzle needs to be manually cleaned online, which has safety hazards and affects the time for restarting the flow. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a device for preventing steel sticking to the nozzle of a continuous casting billet includes an inverted V-shaped top cover and two vertically arranged side plates 6. The two side plates 6 are symmetrical and spaced apart.

[0032] The tops of both side plates 6 are connected to the top cover, forming a protective structure that covers the top of the continuous casting billet nozzle 1. Specifically, the top cover includes two inclined plates 5, with the higher side of the two inclined plates 5 welded together and the lower side welded to the two side plates 6 respectively. Both the inclined plates 5 and the side plates 6 are steel plates.

[0033] A limiting post 7 is vertically installed on the inner center of the top cover for insertion between the two connecting pipes 2 on the rear side of the continuous casting billet nozzle 1. The limiting post 7 is located on the rear side of the inner center of the top cover. Specifically, the top of the limiting post 7 is provided with an inverted V-shaped mating end, which is welded to the inner side of the top cover. The length of the limiting post 7 is 55-65mm. In this embodiment, the length of the limiting post 7 is 60mm.

[0034] In use, the limiting post 7 is inserted between the two connecting pipes 2 on the rear side of the continuous casting billet nozzle 1, thereby restricting the forward movement of the device. In addition, the two side plates 6 are respectively attached to the left and right sides of the continuous casting billet nozzle 1, so that the device can only be disassembled and assembled from directly above the nozzle. Therefore, the device has good stability on the continuous casting billet nozzle 1.

[0035] This invention utilizes two side plates 6 and a top cover to form a protective structure that covers the top of the continuous casting billet nozzle 1. This structure effectively encloses the nozzle 1 without affecting its water outlet angle. When molten steel leaks, the protective structure blocks it, preventing it from falling onto the nozzle 1 and thus preventing steel adhesion. Furthermore, the top cover is inverted V-shaped. In the event of a leak, the molten steel flows away through the V-shaped cover, making it less prone to condensation and agglomeration on the cover. Compared to a flat structure, this design reduces the likelihood of steel adhesion. Therefore, this device generally does not require replacement during use, except in cases of severe steel adhesion.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figures 6-7 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the lower side of the two inclined plates 5 of the top cover protrudes outward relative to the two side plates 6. Both side plates 6 are equipped with clamping structures located within the shielding area of ​​the top cover to prevent steel from sticking to the clamping structure. The clamping structure includes a screw 8, a knob 9, a clamping plate 10, and a limiting rod 11.

[0038] A side plate 6 is vertically inserted through the middle of the screw 8 and threadedly connected to the side plate 6. A knob 9 is fixedly installed on the outward end of the screw 8, and a clamping plate 10 is rotatably installed on the inward end of the screw 8. One end of a limiting rod 11 is vertically connected to the clamping plate 10, and the other end is movably inserted through the side plate 6. The limiting rod 11 is used to restrict the rotation of the clamping plate 10, so that the clamping plate 10 can only move horizontally.

[0039] In addition, a buffer block 12 can be provided on one side of the clamping plate 10 used to clamp the continuous casting billet nozzle 1. The size of the buffer block 12 is the same as that of the clamping plate 10. The material of the buffer block 12 is silicone or rubber. The buffer block 12 is elastic, which can increase the contact friction, improve the clamping effect, and protect the continuous casting billet nozzle 1.

[0040] This invention also incorporates a clamping structure on the two side plates 6. This clamping structure secures the left and right sides of the continuous casting billet nozzle 1, further improving the stability of the device on the nozzle. For some continuous casting billet nozzles 1, due to residual steel residue on the surface, it is difficult to install the device onto the nozzle 1 when the distance between the two side plates 6 is the same as the length of the nozzle 1. This invention solves this problem effectively by setting a clamping structure. The distance between the two side plates 6 is greater than the length of the nozzle 1. By rotating the screw 8 through the knob 9, the screw 8 moves the clamping plate 10. By adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 10, the device can be clamped and fixed onto the nozzle 1. Furthermore, the clamping structure allows the device to be installed on continuous casting billet nozzles 1 of different sizes, providing good versatility.

[0041] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred and feasible embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the patent application scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modified changes completed under the technical spirit of the present application should belong to the patent scope covered by the present application.
