Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel rolling process technology, specifically to a rapid centering base for an electric furnace induction body. Background Technology

[0002] Medium-frequency induction heating furnaces play a crucial role in the steel production process, particularly in the heating process before specialized steel billet rolling. Through the principle of electromagnetic induction, these furnaces efficiently and rapidly heat steel billets to suitable rolling temperatures using electromagnetic induction coils within the inductor. This heating process is essential to ensuring that the steel billets possess good plasticity and ductility during rolling.

[0003] However, the unique characteristic of induction heating technology lies in the need to use different specifications of induction heaters when heating billets of different sizes, materials, and specifications. These induction heaters are typically arranged in groups of six, and must be aligned on the same centerline and elevation to ensure uniform heating and efficiency. During the heating process, the billet is rapidly heated through the heating holes on the induction heater, and then transported to the rolling mill for rolling, ultimately becoming finished steel. In practice, due to changes in production needs, induction heaters of different specifications need to be frequently replaced. The traditional method of replacing induction heaters is to lock them in place with bolts and nuts with clips. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the workload of operators, but also prone to deviations during the positioning of the induction heater. If the induction heater is not accurately positioned, it will not only lead to difficulties in hoisting, but more importantly, during the transport of the billet, it may collide with the inner lining of the induction heater, causing damage to the induction heater, affecting production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, we propose a rapid centering base for electric furnace induction heaters to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A quick-alignment base for an electric furnace induction element includes two support plates and two connecting plates fixedly connected between them. Two cross-shaped positioning grooves are formed on the top of each support plate, and a first cross-shaped positioning pin is fitted into each groove. Two U-shaped blocks are welded to the top of each support plate, and locking bolts are threaded onto each U-shaped block. The tops of the two support plates movably contact the same electric furnace induction element. The first cross-shaped positioning pin movably contacts the electric furnace induction element, and the electric furnace induction element movably contacts the locking bolt. A placement groove is formed on the front side of one of the support plates, and a storage box with an open top movably contacts the placement groove. Four second cross-shaped positioning pins are provided inside the storage box, and a handle is welded to the front side of the storage box.

[0009] Furthermore, the second cross locating pin is longer than the first cross locating pin.

[0010] Furthermore, two U-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the front side of one of the two support plates, and guide rods are welded between the inner walls of the two sides of the U-shaped plates.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a quick-alignment base for an electric furnace induction element, comprising two support plates 1, with two connecting plates 2 fixedly connected between the two support plates 1. Two cross-shaped positioning grooves 3 are formed on the top of each support plate 1, and first cross-shaped positioning pins 4 are fitted into the cross-shaped positioning grooves 3. Two U-shaped blocks 5 are welded to the top of each support plate 1, and locking bolts 6 are threaded onto the U-shaped blocks 5. The tops of the two support plates 1 are in movable contact with the same electric furnace induction element 7. The first cross-shaped positioning pins 4 are in movable contact with the electric furnace induction element 7, and the electric furnace induction element 7 is in movable contact with the locking bolts 6. A placement groove 8 is formed on the front side of one of the support plates 1, and a storage box 9 with an open top is in movable contact with the placement groove 8. Four second cross-shaped positioning pins 10 are provided inside the storage box 9, and a handle 11 is welded to the front side of the storage box 9. The first cross-shaped positioning pins 4 are used for positioning the large induction element. When it is necessary to install the large electric furnace induction element 7... The first cross-shaped locating pin 4 is inserted into the cross-shaped locating groove 3. These cross-shaped locating grooves 3 not only provide positioning but also ensure the limiting of the inductor in the direction perpendicular to the steel wire, preventing it from shifting during use. For the small electric furnace inductor 7, the second cross-shaped locating pin 10 also plays a key role. They are not only used to position the small inductor and ensure its accuracy in the direction perpendicular to the steel wire, but also, when replacing the small electric furnace inductor 7, the first cross-shaped locating pin 4 can be used as a lifting pad to raise the center elevation of the small electric furnace inductor 7 to meet different production needs. The cross-shaped locating groove 3 not only provides precise guidance for the first cross-shaped locating pin 4 and the second cross-shaped locating pin 10, thereby improving the replacement speed of the electric furnace inductor 7 and enabling quick centering and positioning, improving tooling operation efficiency, but also reducing the number of locking bolts 6 to 4 sets, saving manpower. The first cross-shaped locating pin 4 and the second cross-shaped locating pin 10 achieve two functions, saving on spare parts investment.

[0025] In some embodiments, the second cross locating pin 10 is longer than the first cross locating pin 4.

[0026] In some embodiments, two U-shaped plates 12 are fixedly connected to the front side of one of the two support plates 1, and guide rods 13 are welded between the inner walls of the two sides of the U-shaped plates 12. The U-shaped plates 12 serve as supports.

[0027] In some embodiments, a slider 14 is slidably connected to the guide rod 13, and the same baffle 16 is fixedly connected between the two sliders 14. The guide rod 13 serves a guiding function.

[0028] In some embodiments, a spring 15 is fixedly connected between the top of the slider 14 and the top inner wall of the corresponding U-shaped plate 12, and the spring 15 is movably sleeved on the corresponding guide rod 13.

[0029] In some embodiments, a pull ring 17 is welded to the top of the baffle 16, and the baffle 16 is in active contact with the storage box 9. The baffle 16 serves as a limiting device.

[0030] In terms of working principle or structural principle, during use, the first cross-shaped positioning pin 4 is used for positioning the large inductor. When installing the large electric furnace inductor 7, the first cross-shaped positioning pin 4 is inserted into the cross-shaped positioning groove 3. These cross-shaped positioning grooves 3 not only provide positioning but also ensure the inductor's position in the direction perpendicular to the steel wire, preventing it from shifting during use. For the small electric furnace inductor 7, the second cross-shaped positioning pin 10 also plays a crucial role. They are not only used to position the small inductor, ensuring its accuracy in the direction perpendicular to the steel wire, but also, when replacing the small electric furnace inductor 7, the first cross-shaped positioning pin 4 can be used as a lifting pad to raise the center elevation of the small electric furnace inductor 7 to meet different production needs. The cross-shaped positioning groove 3 not only provides precise guidance for the first cross-shaped positioning pin 4 and the second cross-shaped positioning pin 10 but also, through its cross-shaped design, achieves a limiting and anti-rotation function, ensuring the stability of the inductor during installation and use. After the furnace induction element 7 is positioned, the locking bolt 6 is used to finally lock the position of the furnace induction element 7, realizing the rapid and accurate centering of the furnace induction element and ensuring the precise positioning of the induction element in the direction perpendicular to the steel wire. This provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the furnace. At the same time, when the second cross positioning pin 10 is taken out, the pull ring 17 is pulled. The pull ring 17 drives the baffle 16 to move. The baffle 16 drives the slider 14 to slide on the corresponding guide rod 13 and compress the spring 15, so that the baffle 16 no longer blocks the storage box 9. The second cross positioning pin 10 can be taken out for use by pulling the storage box 9 through the handle 11. The storage box 9 prevents the first cross positioning pin 4 and the second cross positioning pin 10 from being lost and is easy to use, improving the replacement speed of the furnace induction element 7 and enabling rapid centering and positioning, improving the tooling operation rate. The locking bolt 6 is reduced to 4 sets, saving manpower. The first cross positioning pin 4 and the second cross positioning pin 10 achieve two functions, saving spare parts investment.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. 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 described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
