[0002] The steel industry is a fundamental industry in my country. The tundish metallurgy process is a crucial link in steel production. Currently, with the extended lifespan of sizing nozzles (around 70 hours) and the improved lifespan of refractory linings in the tundish, continuous pouring time in the tundish is becoming increasingly longer, even reaching tens of hours.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model has achieved the following beneficial technical effects:
[0022] 1. When molten steel flows into the stabilizer from a higher position, its gravitational potential energy is almost completely converted into kinetic energy, causing it to impact the bottom of the ladle at a high speed. Conventional stabilizers are typically reinforced by assembling a dense, thickened layer at the bottom. This design rapidly reduces the high-speed flow velocity of the steel to a standstill, and the thickened layer must withstand extremely high impact forces. Even with a thickness of hundreds of millimeters, it is still difficult to resist the impact of the molten steel. This invention, by incorporating cooperating diversion blocks within the stabilizer to form diversion channels extending in various directions, disperses the steel flow into several smaller streams flowing in different directions when subjected to molten steel impact. This slows down the impact velocity and reduces the impact force, allowing the molten steel to slowly reach the bottom of the stabilizer through the diversion channels. This minimizes the impact force of the molten steel on the bottom of the stabilizer, reducing damage to the stabilizer or the ladle bottom and increasing its service life. Furthermore, the diversion channel, composed of multiple diversion blocks, has a good energy storage function, which can unload the impact energy of the steel flow, reduce the force of the molten steel splashing against the protective pipe, and thus improve the service life of the protective pipe accordingly.
[0023] 2. By setting an outward protrusion on the diversion block and inserting the outward protrusion into the diversion channel, the molten steel is further refined when it passes through the diversion channel, which helps to further reduce the impact force of the molten steel.
[0024] 3. The protective tube has multiple outlets, which disperses the impact points on the tundish (impact barrel, flow stabilizer / impact plate), thus reducing the destructive effect and improving the service life of the impact barrel, flow stabilizer / impact plate.
[0025] 4. The vertical side wall of the stabilizer is equipped with protrusions. When the impact plate reaches its limit, it can be tilted to protect the impact sleeve from the side wall, thereby reducing and extending the life of the stabilizer and even the tundish.
[0026] 5. The use of inorganic sol impregnation / organic impregnation diversion blocks and impact plates, with inorganic sol particles / organic matter filling the internal voids, makes the material structure more compact and significantly improves its impact resistance.
[0027] 6. When preparing the flow divider and impact plate, nanoparticles are introduced to fill the pores of the material and improve the microstructure. Among them, the introduction of non-agglomerated 0-30 nanometer α-alumina can increase the toughness by more than 40%.
[0028] 7. The floating worktable pressure method is used to form the impact plate, which solves the problem of forming large-area refractory materials and improves the density of large-area refractory materials in the impact plate.
[0029] 8. The double U-shaped inner and outer vertical frame reverse sleeve structure flow stabilizer allows the steel flow to exit through the inner wall hole and the channel between the second end of the inner wall and the third outer wall, and then enter the flow channel between the inner and outer walls. This flow field is not only conducive to slag-steel separation, but more importantly, it makes the liquid smoother, thus reducing the impact on the ladle and extending the life of the tundish.
[0030] The double U-shaped inner and outer vertical frame reverse sleeve structure flow stabilizer of this utility model breaks through the conventional closed flow stabilizer design. It adopts a double-wall structure, which is designed as two stacked wall surfaces. This design not only opens up two parallel first flow field improvement channels, but also effectively promotes the floating of inclusions in molten steel and improves the quality of billet by optimizing fluid dynamics and reducing the dead zone volume inside the flow stabilizer. The flow field is gentle and has little impact on the flow stabilizer and tundish, thus improving the service life of the flow stabilizer and tundish. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0047] Example 1
[0048] The long-life molten metal transport system in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a flow stabilizer 1 and a protective tube 2. The outlet end of the protective tube 2 faces the flow stabilizer 1. The protective tube 2 has at least one outlet 9 on its side or bottom. In this embodiment, the protective tube 2 has 2-4 outlets 9 on its side, and the bottom of the protective tube 2 is closed. In other embodiments, the protective tube 2 may also have an outlet 9 at its bottom; the total number of outlets 9 on the side and at the bottom is greater than or equal to 2, and the equivalent circle diameter of the total area of the outlets 9 on the side and at the bottom is 20-400 mm.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, molten steel flows into the flow stabilizer 1 through the protective pipe 2. The flow stabilizer 1 is provided with a flow divider layer 3, and a flow divider channel 4 is opened in the flow divider layer 3. One end of the flow divider channel 4 is set facing the impact direction of the molten steel, and the other end of the flow divider channel 4 extends out from the flow divider layer 3 and is in fluid communication with the internal space of the flow stabilizer 1. After the steel flow impacts the flow divider layer 3, it enters the flow divider channel 4 and is dispersed into multiple steel flows.
[0050] The shunt channel 4 includes a vertical channel 5 arranged along the height direction of the shunt layer 3. One end of the vertical channel 5 faces the direction of the molten steel impact, and the other end of the vertical channel 5 extends towards the bottom of the flow stabilizer 1 and is in fluid communication with the flow stabilizer 1. The vertical channel 5 can be arranged parallel to the height direction of the shunt layer 3 or can have a certain angle relative to the height direction of the shunt layer 3.
[0051] The shunt channel 4 further includes a horizontal channel 6 arranged along the length and / or width direction of the shunt layer 3. The horizontal channel 6 is arranged inside the shunt layer 3 and / or between the shunt layer 3 and the flow stabilizer 1; the horizontal channel 6 is in fluid communication with the vertical channel 5, and at least one end of the horizontal channel 6 penetrates out of the shunt layer 3 and is in fluid communication with the flow stabilizer 1. The horizontal channel 6 is arranged in the horizontal direction or has a certain included angle with the horizontal direction.
[0052] As Figure 2-3 shown, the shunt layer 3 includes two or more cooperating shunt blocks 10. The shunt blocks 10 are arranged on the inner bottom wall of the flow stabilizer 1; the surface of the shunt block 10 has an outwardly extending convex portion 101. Adjacent two shunt blocks 10 are connected to each other through the convex portion 101, and the gap formed by the support of adjacent two shunt blocks 10 through the convex portion 101 is the shunt channel 4. In this embodiment, the shape of the shunt block 10 is as Figure 2 shown, a twisted king-shaped shunt block (the twisted king-shaped shunt block is formed by rotating the middle horizontal line of the king character 90 degrees around one vertical line of the king character). Outer convex portions 101 are provided at both ends of the shunt block 10 and are parallel to each other. An outer convex portion 101 is also provided in the middle of the shunt block 10. The outer convex portions 101 at both ends of the shunt block 10 and the outer convex portion 101 in the middle of the shunt block 10 are arranged perpendicular to each other. As Figure 3 shown, a plurality of prismatic shunt blocks 10 are combined and arranged to form an integral shunt layer 3, and have shunt channels 4 with different directions, which can play a role in shunting and reducing the impact force. Specifically, when arranged, two or more layers of shunt blocks 10 can play a better shunting role. Of course, in this embodiment, a king-shaped shunt block as Figure 10 shown can also be used.
[0053] As Figure 1 shown, a reinforcing impact plate 7 is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the flow stabilizer 1, and the shunt blocks 10 are arranged on the surface of the reinforcing impact plate 7.
[0054] The reinforced impact plate 7 can be selected as an impregnated reinforced impact plate, a vacuum impregnated reinforced impact plate, a reinforced impact plate that is vacuum impregnated and then pressure-strengthened, or a reinforced impact plate that is first heat-treated, then vacuum impregnated, and then pressure-strengthened. It can be impregnated with inorganic or organic substances. For inorganic impregnation, alumina sol, chromium oxide sol, zirconium oxide sol, spinel sol, silica sol, or a composite inorganic sol of two or more of the above is used. Preferably, the composite inorganic sol is an alumina-chromium oxide composite sol, or a chromium oxide-oxygen... Zirconia composite sol or magnesium aluminum spinel sol, wherein the mass ratio of chromium oxide to zirconium oxide in the chromium oxide-zirconia composite sol is (1-2):(2-4); the reinforced impact plate is impregnated with alumina-chromium oxide composite sol and then subjected to infinite solid solution of chromium oxide and alumina at high temperature to form spinel chromium corundum; organic impregnation uses one or more of asphalt, tar, anthracite or resin, wherein the resin is epoxy resin or phenolic resin; the reinforced impact plate 7 described in this embodiment is manufactured using a floating worktable.
[0055] During the preparation of the reinforced impact plate 7 and / or the diverter block 10, toughening nanoparticles are added to strengthen their microstructure. The amount of toughening nanoparticles used is 0-3% of the mass of the reinforced impact plate 7 and / or the diverter block 10. The particle size of the toughening nanoparticles is less than or equal to 100 nanometers. The toughening nanoparticles are selected from magnesium oxide powder, α-alumina powder, zirconium dioxide powder, or silicon dioxide powder. The particle size of α-alumina powder is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 30 nanometers, which improves the toughness of the reinforced impact plate 7 and the diverter block 10 by more than 40%.
[0056] The reinforced impact plate 7 is manufactured by introducing ultrafine powder to fill the pores and adding nanoparticles to strengthen its microstructure. The amount of nanoparticles added is 0-3 wt.%, and the particle size of the nanoparticles is greater than 0 nanometers and less than or equal to 100 nanometers. The nanoparticles are chromium oxide powder, aluminum oxide powder, magnesium oxide powder, zirconium dioxide powder, or silicon dioxide powder. After being formed by the manufacturing equipment, the reinforced impact plate 7 undergoes impregnation strengthening. This can be achieved by placing the reinforced impact plate 7 in a vacuum environment for impregnation strengthening, placing the reinforced impact plate in a vacuum environment for impregnation followed by pressure strengthening, or heating the reinforced impact plate and then placing it in a vacuum environment for impregnation followed by pressure strengthening. The reinforced impact plate 7 is formed using a floating worktable for pressure forming. Impregnation strengthening can be achieved using inorganic materials such as alumina sol, chromium oxide sol, zirconium oxide sol, or silicon dioxide sol; or it can be achieved using organic materials such as asphalt impregnation, tar impregnation, anthracite impregnation, resin impregnation, epoxy resin impregnation, or phenolic resin impregnation. It can reduce the porosity of the impact plate 7, improve its strength and thermal shock resistance, and increase its service life.
[0057] The diverting blocks 10 are distributed diffusely towards the inner bottom wall of the stabilizer 1 with the reinforced impact plate 7 as the center; there is a gap between the outermost diverting block 10 and the inner vertical wall of the stabilizer 1, and a protrusion 11 is provided on the inner vertical wall of the stabilizer 1.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, an edge diversion layer 8 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the flow stabilizer 1 near the inner vertical wall. The thickness of the edge diversion layer 8 gradually decreases in the direction from the outside of the flow stabilizer 1 to the center of the flow stabilizer 1, and the slope ratio of the edge diversion layer 8 is less than 1:1.25.
[0059] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the edge diversion layer 8 includes two or more central fixing plates 81 and support columns 82. Support columns 82 are vertically fixed to the four corners of each central fixing plate 81. A through hole 83 is formed in the center of each central fixing plate 81. A groove 84 is formed on the side wall of each central fixing plate 81 between two adjacent support columns 82. The support columns 82 on adjacent central fixing plates 81 are connected to each other in close contact. The direction of the support columns 82 intersects the bottom wall of the flow stabilizer 1. The support columns 82 are in contact with the inner bottom wall of the flow stabilizer 1. Multiple central fixing plates 81 are arranged and gradually extend towards the inner vertical wall of the flow stabilizer 1 until they connect with the inner vertical wall. In actual use, two or more layers of central fixing plates 81 can be stacked. By setting an inclined edge diversion layer 8, the molten steel flows towards the edge diversion layer 8 after impacting the diversion layer 3. The protruding support column 82 can disperse the steel flow. At the same time, the inclined state can increase the contact area with the steel flow and facilitate the passage of molten steel through the through hole 83 and groove 84, reducing the impact force on the edge of the stabilizer.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 9As shown, the flow stabilizer 1 includes a base plate 12, a U-shaped inner frame 13, and a U-shaped outer frame 17.

[0073] Example 7
[0074] The long-life tundish molten metal transfer system in this embodiment is different from that in Embodiment 1 in that the flow splitting blocks are combined by a twisted I-shaped flow splitting block, a twisted king-shaped flow splitting block, a four-column radial flow splitting block and a chamfered and beveled pyramid hole cubic flow splitting block according to a number ratio of 3:5:2:1. Specifically: the chamfered and beveled pyramid hole cubic flow splitting block is arranged in the bottom layer, and the twisted I-shaped flow splitting block, the twisted king-shaped flow splitting block and the four-column radial flow splitting block are mixed and placed in the upper layer; the twisted I-shaped flow splitting block is formed by rotating one horizontal bar of the I-shaped by 90 degrees with one vertical bar of the I-shaped as the rotation axis; the twisted king-shaped flow splitting block is formed by rotating the middle horizontal bar of the king-shaped by 90 degrees with one vertical bar of the king-shaped as the rotation axis; the four-column radial flow splitting block includes a central connecting block and four frustum cones, and the large head end of each frustum cone is fixedly connected to the central connecting block, and the small head end deviates from the central connecting block and extends in different directions; the chamfered and beveled pyramid hole cubic flow splitting block is a cube with four corners cut off, each edge cut off parallel to each edge, and a frustum cone hole is opened on each surface, and the frustum cone holes on the opposite surfaces are fluid-conducted through the small head ends. The combination method of the flow splitting blocks in this embodiment can not only achieve the purpose of "large impact and large flow splitting, small impact and fine flow splitting" of molten steel, but also prevent molten steel from splashing and effectively promote the floating of small-particle inclusions; this is because: the twisted I-shaped flow splitting block, the twisted king-shaped flow splitting block and the four-column radial flow splitting block are mixed and placed in the upper layer, and the flow splitting channels formed between the flow splitting blocks have the characteristics of large cross-sectional area and high connectivity in all directions, so that the molten steel with a large impact force entering the flow stabilizer can quickly "release the force" and become molten steel with a smaller impact force. These molten steel with a smaller impact force flow downward to the chamfered and beveled pyramid hole cubic flow splitting block, the large head end of the frustum cone hole is located on the surface, and the frustum cone holes on the opposite surfaces are fluid-conducted through the small head ends, so that the diversion and throttling of molten steel can be realized, and the molten steel with a smaller impact force can be dispersed into trickles.
