Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of continuous casting technology, specifically a high-efficiency continuous casting spray cooling mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Continuous casting is short for continuous steel casting. The main function of spraying during continuous casting is to cool the billet and ensure that the billet solidifies in a short time, thereby improving production efficiency and billet quality.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218361980U discloses a continuous casting secondary cooling spray device. This device has multiple nozzles installed above the conveyor plate to achieve spray cooling of the billet on the conveyor plate. Although this method can cool the billet, the position of the nozzles is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the width of the billet. When the billet is wide, the two ends of the billet are prone to not being sprayed and cooled. When the billet is narrow, the nozzles on both sides cannot spray the surface of the billet, which is wasteful. At the same time, the spraying method in the above device can only spray one side of the billet, and cannot spray both sides of the billet at the same time, which can easily cause uneven cooling. To address this problem, an efficient continuous casting spray cooling mechanism is now provided. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency continuous casting spray cooling mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The spray assembly includes a conveying component, two U-shaped frames, two mounting components, and several nozzles. Each U-shaped frame is fixed to the top of a mounting plate. One mounting component is located between the two U-shaped frames, and the other mounting component is located between the two mounting plates. Several nozzles are respectively installed on the side of the two mounting components that are close to each other. The conveying component is located on one side of one of the mounting plates.
[0008] The adjustment assembly includes two lifting plates, a lifting component, and two moving components.

[0026] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0027] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments:
[0028] Example 1, as Figures 1-6 As shown, a high-efficiency continuous casting spray cooling mechanism includes a conveyor 12 and two mounting plates 11. The conveyor 12 is mounted above the two mounting plates 11. It also includes a spray assembly and an adjustment assembly. The conveyor 12 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] The spray assembly includes a conveying component, two U-shaped frames 13, two mounting components, and several nozzles 17. Each U-shaped frame 13 is fixed to the top of a mounting plate 11. One mounting component is located between the two U-shaped frames 13, and the other mounting component is located between the two mounting plates 11. Several nozzles 17 are respectively installed on the side of the two mounting components that are close to each other. The conveying component is located on one side of one of the mounting plates 11.
[0030] The conveying component can deliver coolant to several nozzles 17. By providing multiple nozzles 17 above the conveyor 12, when the billet moves on the conveyor 12, the nozzles 17 on the upper and lower sides can spray and cool both sides of the billet, ensuring that the billet can be cooled evenly and improving the cooling effect.
[0031] The adjustment assembly includes two lifting plates 24, a lifting component, and two moving components. Each lifting plate 24 is installed on one side of a mounting component. The lifting component is installed on the top of the upper lifting plate 24. The two moving components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor 12, and each moving component is located between the two lifting plates 24.
[0032] When the lifting component is working, it can move the upper lifting plate 24, making the position of the multiple nozzles 17 on the upper part adjustable. At the same time, under the action of the moving component, the nozzles 17 on the lower part are also adjusted synchronously.
[0033] By setting the adjustment component, the position of the nozzle 17 can be adjusted. If the width of the billet is narrow, the distance between two adjacent nozzles 17 can be shortened so that the coolant sprayed from each nozzle 17 can contact the billet and achieve spraying of the billet. When the width of the billet is wide, the distance between two adjacent nozzles 17 can be increased to ensure that both sides of the billet can also be sprayed. It is suitable for billets of different widths and is more flexible in use.
[0034] like Figures 1-6As shown, each mounting component includes multiple crossbars 14, several sliders 15, and several connecting rods 31. The multiple crossbars 14 are equidistantly arranged, and the several sliders 15 are slidably arranged on the multiple crossbars 14 respectively. Each slider 15 has a mounting bracket 16 fixed on the side near the conveyor 12. Each nozzle 17 is mounted on a mounting bracket 16. The several connecting rods 31 are respectively arranged between two adjacent crossbars 14, and both ends of each connecting rod 31 are fixedly connected to two sliders 15 respectively.
[0035] Specifically, the two ends of the crossbar 14 located above the conveyor 12 are fixedly connected to two U-shaped frames 13 respectively, and the two ends of the crossbar 14 located below the conveyor 12 are fixedly connected to two mounting plates 11 respectively. Each slider 15 can slide on the crossbar 14, which can provide guidance for the subsequent movement of the nozzle 17. At the same time, the connecting rod 31 enables two adjacent sliders 15 to be connected, that is, when a slider 15 on one of the crossbars 14 slides, the other sliders 15 can slide synchronously.
[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, each crossbar 14 has multiple first hoses 18 on one side. The two ends of each first hose 18 are connected to two adjacent nozzles 17, so that the two adjacent nozzles 17 can communicate with each other, which facilitates the flow of coolant.
[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the delivery component includes a main pipe 21, two branch pipes 20, and several second hoses 19. The main pipe 21 is installed on one side of one of the mounting plates 11. Specifically, one end of the main pipe 21 is connected to the output end of the pump body used to deliver coolant. One branch pipe 20 is installed on one side of a U-shaped frame 13, and the other branch pipe 20 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 11. Each branch pipe 20 is connected to the main pipe 21. Several second hoses 19 are respectively installed on one side of the two branch pipes 20. The other end of each second hose 19 is connected to the end of a nozzle 17 away from the first hose 18.
[0038] When the coolant enters the main pipe 21 under the action of the pump, the coolant inside the main pipe 21 enters the two branch pipes 20 respectively, and together with several second hoses 19 and first hoses 18, so that the coolant can be sprayed out through multiple nozzles 17.
[0039] like Figures 1-6As shown, each lifting plate 24 has multiple strip grooves 25 on its surface. A rod 26 is inserted into the middle of each strip groove 25. The other end of each rod 26 is connected to a slider 15. Two guide rods 23 are fixed at the end of each lifting plate 24 away from the conveyor 12. A limiting plate 22 slides on each guide rod 23. The two limiting plates 22 located above the conveyor 12 are fixed on two U-shaped frames 13, and the two limiting plates 22 located below the conveyor 12 are fixed on two mounting plates 11.
[0040] When the lifting component is working, it can drive the lifting plate 24 to rise and fall. When the lifting plate 24 is rising and falling, the multiple strip grooves 25 on the lifting plate 24 also rise and fall synchronously. Thus, under the action of the insert rod 26, the slider 15 can be driven to slide on the crossbar 14, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the nozzle 17.
[0041] Meanwhile, the sliding connection between the limiting plate 22 and the guide rod 23 can guide the lifting plate 24 and ensure the stability of the lifting plate 24 during movement.
[0042] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the lifting component includes a horizontal plate 27 and a cylinder 34. The horizontal plate 27 is fixed between two limit plates 22 located above the conveyor 12. The cylinder 34 is fixedly installed on the horizontal plate 27. The output end of the cylinder 34 passes through the horizontal plate 27 and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 24. By controlling the operation of the cylinder 34, the cylinder 34 can drive the lifting plate 24 to move along the length direction of the guide rod 23, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the subsequent nozzle 17.
[0043] like Figures 1-6 As shown, each moving component includes a fixed plate 32, a rotating rod 28, two hinge rods 29, and two side rods 30. The fixed plate 32 is fixed to one side of the U-shaped frame 13. The middle part of the rotating rod 28 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 32. Specifically, the middle part of the rotating rod 28 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 32 via a rotating shaft. The two side rods 30 are respectively fixed to one side of the two lifting plates 24. One end of each hinge rod 29 is hinged to a side rod 30, and the other end of each hinge rod 29 is hinged to the rotating rod 28. A groove 33 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 11 for the side rods 30 to pass through.
[0044] When the upper lifting plate 24 moves up and down under the action of the lifting component, the lifting plate 24 can drive the side rod 30 connected to it to move. Under the action of the rotating rod 28 and the two hinge rods 29, it can drive the lower side rod 30 to move in the opposite direction, thereby driving the lower lifting plate 24 to move, so that the positions of the upper and lower nozzles 17 can be adjusted synchronously.
[0045] The beneficial effects of this utility model are specifically reflected in the fact that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. 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.
