DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In the drawing, 1 is a water inlet, 2 is a flow channel, 3 is a ingot mould, 4 is a vertical lifting rotating mechanism, 401 is a lifting platform, 402 is a vertical driving screw, 403 is a first step motor, 404 is a second step motor, 405 is a rotating rod, 5 is a horizontal swinging mechanism, 501 is a horizontal swinging platform, 502 is a horizontal driving screw, 503 is a third step motor, 504 is a swinging rod, 6 is a heater, 7 is a temperature position sensor, and a is a molten steel inlet. Figure 1 As shown in the drawing, the molten steel enters the ingot mould 3 from the water inlet 1 through the flow channel 2 and the molten steel inlet a, spreads around the mould cavity in the ingot mould 3, and gradually solidifies. In the process of solidification, the uneven temperature drop causes uneven internal resistance during the flow of the molten steel. Therefore, the vertical lifting rotating mechanism 4 and the horizontal swinging mechanism 5 are added in this embodiment. During the solidification of the molten steel, the molten steel surface is heated to increase the flowability of the local molten steel, thereby realizing the uniform rising of the molten steel surface. The temperature position sensor 7 transmits the height and temperature information of the molten steel surface to the PLC (not shown in the drawing). The PLC instructs the first step motor 403, the second step motor 404 and the third step motor 503 to operate according to the set and measured temperature and height values, so that the heater 6 heats the molten steel to the appropriate temperature at the appropriate position. As shown in the drawing, the temperature position sensor 7 transmits the height information of the molten steel surface to the PLC, and the PLC instructs the first step motor 403 to drive the lifting platform 401 through the vertical driving screw 402, the second step motor 404 and the rotating rod 405 to move downward to the appropriate height. The PLC instructs the second step motor 403 to drive the horizontal swinging platform 501, the horizontal driving screw 502, the third step motor 503, the swinging rod 504 and the heater 6 to rotate horizontally, and at the same time, the PLC instructs the third step motor 503 to drive the heater 6 to move along the radial direction through the horizontal driving screw 502. After the heater 6 is sent to the position of the liquid surface to be heated through the vertical driving screw 402, the horizontal driving screw 502 and the rotating rod 405, the PLC instructs the heater 6 to heat the molten steel on the liquid surface according to the temperature information of the liquid surface measured by the temperature position sensor 7, so that the flowability of the molten steel at this position is increased, the molten steel surface rises uniformly, and a high-quality casting blank is obtained. Figure 1 As shown in the drawing, the temperature position sensor 7 transmits the height information of the molten steel surface to the PLC, and the PLC instructs the first step motor 403 to drive the lifting platform 401 through the vertical driving screw 402, the second step motor 404 and the rotating rod 405 to move downward to the appropriate height. The PLC instructs the second step motor 403 to drive the horizontal swinging platform 501, the horizontal driving screw 502, the third step motor 503, the swinging rod 504 and the heater 6 to rotate horizontally, and at the same time, the PLC instructs the third step motor 503 to drive the heater 6 to move along the radial direction through the horizontal driving screw 502. After the heater 6 is sent to the position of the liquid surface to be heated through the vertical driving screw 402, the horizontal driving screw 502 and the rotating rod 405, the PLC instructs the heater 6 to heat the molten steel on the liquid surface according to the temperature information of the liquid surface measured by the temperature position sensor 7, so that the flowability of the molten steel at this position is increased, the molten steel surface rises uniformly, and a high-quality casting blank is obtained.
