Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Medium plate as important industrial material, is widely used in architecture, shipbuilding, mechanical manufacturing and other fields. Its efficiency and quality in production process directly affect the performance and cost of terminal product. As one of the key processes in modern steel production, continuous casting technology can effectively improve the production efficiency of steel plate and reduce resource waste through continuous casting. However, in the continuous casting process, since the slab cutting speed is less than the continuous casting speed, it becomes an important factor limiting the production speed, so the continuous casting process often produces multiple-length billets of target slab length, and then cuts twice to obtain target-length slabs for subsequent processing.

[0003] In the secondary cutting process, the roller bed is stationary, and the continuous casting multiple-length billet is parked on the cutting roller bed and cut by a flame cutting machine. However, due to the high temperature of the continuous casting multiple-length billet, a large amount of heat energy is transferred to the cutting roller bed. The cooling capacity of the cooling water in the traditional cutting roller bed structure is insufficient, the temperature of the roller bed contact surface continuously rises, and softening easily occurs at the contact position, thereby reducing the supporting performance. In severe cases, the slab bends due to the loss of support, reduces the cutting precision, and affects the production quality. SUMMARY
