Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a continuous casting production control system, specifically a hydraulic control system suitable for the lifting and lowering of the ladle arm of a continuous casting machine. Background Technology
[0002] The continuous casting machine's ladle turret has two turret arms, A and B, positioned 180 degrees apart, each capable of independent lifting and lowering. While the empty ladle rotates from the casting position to the waiting position, the turret rotates the loaded ladle from the load position to the casting position, handling the receiving of molten steel from the LF furnace and supplying it to the tundish. To reduce the impact of lowering the loaded ladle to the ladle, when the loaded ladle is lifted by the gantry crane and lowered to a certain distance on the waiting ladle arm, the ladle operator signals the crane operator to stop the descent and operates the ladle arm lifting handheld button to raise the ladle arm to a certain height to catch the loaded ladle containing molten steel. Only after the loaded ladle is seated on the ladle arm can the gantry crane hook be removed. Currently, due to the advantages of hydraulic transmission, such as high output torque, ability to handle large tonnage loads, smooth transmission, no impact, and convenient adjustment and control, the lifting and lowering of the ladle arm on the ladle turret is almost always driven by hydraulic cylinders.
