[0025] Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings below is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The technical means not described in detail in the present application and not used to solve the technical problems of the present application are set according to common knowledge in the art, and various common knowledge setting methods can be implemented.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The continuous casting machine crystallizer provided by the present application comprises a crystallization cavity 14 and a cover. The cover is arranged on an opening at the top of the crystallization cavity 14. The crystallization cavity 14 comprises a copper pipe 15 and a partition layer 144. The copper pipe 15 is arranged in the crystallization cavity 14 along the central axis of the crystallization cavity 14. The partition layer 144 is arranged between the outer wall of the copper pipe 15 and the crystallization cavity 14. A cooling layer 143 is arranged in the outer wall of the copper pipe 15. The cooling layer 143 is used for circulating cooling water to cool the high-temperature molten iron poured in the copper pipe 15. The cooling layer 143 is in communication with a circulating cooling water storage tank pipeline. The circulating water can be introduced and discharged on one side. The specific structure is arranged according to the existing crystallizer structure, which will not be described here. An opening is arranged at the top of the crystallization cavity 14. After a sealing flange 132 is arranged on the opening, the cover is arranged to seal the crystallization cavity 14.

[0028] The cover body comprises a top plate 131, a key plate 13, and a flange body. The flange body is arranged on the periphery of the cover body and detachably connected with the flange body on the periphery of the top of the crystallization cavity. The top plate is arranged on the top surface of the upper sealing flange 132. The upper sealing flange 132 is arranged on the key plate 13. The key plate 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the copper pipe 15 and abuts against the top opening of the cooling layer 143. The heat exchange pipe structure is arranged in the cooling layer 143. A plurality of through holes 111 are arranged on the key plate 13 in a circumferential direction. The through holes 111 are connected with the heat exchange pipe structure and the upper sealing flange 132, so that part of the cooling water enters the gap 111 between the key plate 13, the cooling layer 143 and the upper sealing flange 132 through the through holes 111, and the upper sealing flange 132 near the pouring port 141 of the top of the copper pipe 15 is cooled, so as to avoid the damage of the upper sealing flange 132 caused by the unstable pouring flow and the leakage caused by the damage of the upper sealing flange 132. The pouring port 141 is arranged on the cover body and opposite to the opening of the copper pipe 15, so as to pour the hot molten steel.

[0029] The device is arranged on the key plate step area 1 of the crystallizer in a circumferential direction, so as to strengthen the sealing cooling water of the flange, prevent the damage of the sealing structure of the crystallizer caused by the fluctuation of the pulling speed, and prevent the leakage caused by the damage of the sealing structure.

[0030] In an embodiment, a recess is arranged on the outer side wall of the top of the cooling layer 143. The key plate 13 is clamped on the recess. The cooling liquid pipe structure in the cooling layer 143 is arranged with an opening on the recess, so that the cooling liquid can partially enter the gap 111. The bottom surface of the central area of the upper sealing flange 132 abuts against the top surface and the outer side wall of the key plate 13, so as to fix the installation position of the key plate 13.

[0031] In an embodiment, the key plate 13 comprises a plate body, a step area 1, a clamping hole 21, and an installation area. The clamping hole 21 is arranged in the center of the plate body and clamped on the top periphery of the copper pipe 15. The step area 1 is arranged on the periphery of the clamping hole 21. The installation area is arranged on the periphery of the step area 1.

[0032] In an embodiment, a plurality of installation holes 12 are arranged on the installation area in a circumferential direction, so as to realize the detachable connection of the key plate 13.

[0033] In an embodiment, a flange sealing ring 121 is arranged in the groove on the bottom surface of the upper sealing flange 132 and abuts against the cooling layer 143. The flange sealing ring 121 can prevent the cooling liquid in the cooling layer 143 from entering the copper pipe 15.

[0034] In an embodiment, the gap 111 is surrounded by the flange sealing ring 121, the upper sealing flange 132, the key plate 13 and the cooling layer 143.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the pressing plate 142 is arranged on the outer side wall of the upper part of the crystallization cavity 14 and extends outwardly beyond the crystallization cavity 14. The pressing plate 142 can be used to fix the position of the crystallizer according to the use requirement.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the stepped area 1 is equally divided into four units, and two through holes are arranged in each unit. Diagonal lines are arranged near the two through holes 11, and the two through holes 11 are symmetrically arranged along the diagonal lines. The uniform distribution of the through holes can achieve a better leakage prevention effect.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the angle between the extension line of the through hole 11 and the diagonal line is 15-30°.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the aperture of the through hole 11 is 5-6 mm. According to this arrangement, the amount of cooling liquid passing through the through hole 11 can meet the cooling requirement, and the opening can also avoid affecting the stress reliability of the key plate 13.

[0039] The device can effectively reduce the flow blocking accidents caused by sealing leakage in the production of Xianfu Steel, and ensure the production yield. It is beneficial to reduce the cost of steelmaking production and improve the economic benefit.

[0040] Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
