Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of continuous casting machine technology, specifically to a billet buffer for the tail of a continuous casting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of continuous casting machines, the billet needs to go through a series of processing steps after it is removed from the crystallizer.

[0003] Traditional buffer devices typically use a single spring or rubber pad to absorb impact force. While this provides some cushioning, it is prone to insufficient cushioning and rebound when dealing with heavy castings, leading to damage to the casting and equipment. Furthermore, traditional buffer devices have weak control over lateral displacement and cannot effectively prevent the casting from sliding horizontally. Therefore, a casting buffer for the tail of a continuous casting machine is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is poor buffering effect, and a billet buffer for the tail of a continuous casting machine is provided.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a billet buffer for the tail of a continuous casting machine, comprising a base, a buffer plate, a sliding plate, a transverse buffer mechanism, a longitudinal buffer mechanism, and a guide rail;

[0006] After the base has a groove on the top surface, the slide plate is placed in the groove. The buffer plate is an L-shaped plate, and the horizontal part is connected to the top surface of the slide plate. After the billet falls onto the buffer plate, the vertical impact energy of the billet is effectively dispersed and absorbed by the longitudinal buffer mechanism between the buffer plate and the slide plate.

[0007] The inner wall of the bottom of the groove is provided with guide rails, and there is a pair of mirror images. After the slide plate is slidably set on the two guide rails, the buffer plate is connected to the transverse buffer mechanism on the top surface of the base, thereby buffering the transverse impact on the billet.

[0008] As an improvement, the longitudinal buffer mechanism includes a buffer spring and a pneumatic damper; the pneumatic damper is fixed on the top surface of the slide plate and multiple dampers are evenly arranged, and the extension and retraction parts of each pneumatic damper are sleeved with a buffer spring connected to the bottom surface of the buffer plate.

[0009] As an improvement, the lateral buffer mechanism includes a fixed block and a lateral buffer member; the fixed block is fixed to one side of the top surface of the base, and the lateral buffer member is disposed between the fixed block and the buffer plate, and there is a pair of them in mirror image;

[0010] The lateral buffer includes a fixed sleeve and a telescopic rod; the fixed sleeve is connected to the fixed block, one end of the telescopic rod is slidably set inside the fixed sleeve, and the other end is detachably connected to the buffer plate; a return spring connected to the telescopic rod is provided inside the fixed sleeve.

[0011] As an improvement, it also includes T-shaped mounting blocks and T-slots;

[0012] Both ends of the transverse buffer are equipped with T-shaped mounting blocks that are fixed to the fixed sleeve and the telescopic rod. Both the fixed block and the buffer plate are provided with T-shaped grooves that match the T-shaped mounting blocks. After the T-shaped mounting blocks of the transverse buffer are inserted into the two T-shaped grooves, the mounting bolts pass through the T-shaped mounting blocks and are threaded into the mounting screw holes in the T-shaped grooves.

[0013] As an improvement, a baffle is also included, which is set between the buffer plate and the fixed block through an adjustment mechanism to limit the sliding displacement of the buffer plate.

[0014] As an improvement, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment groove, an adjustment plate, an adjustment bolt, and an adjustment screw hole;

[0015] The adjustment slots are located on the base and there is a pair of mirror images. After the baffle slides between the two adjustment slots, it is connected to the adjustment plate that is close to the outer wall of the base. The adjustment bolts pass through the adjustment plate and are threadedly connected to the adjustment screw holes on the outer wall of the base. Multiple adjustment screw holes are evenly arranged along the sliding direction of the buffer plate.

[0016] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0017] 1. A longitudinal buffer mechanism is installed below the buffer plate, which can effectively disperse and absorb the vertical impact energy of the billet;

[0018] 2. The guide rails and baffles can guide and limit horizontal displacement;

[0019] 3. A lateral buffer mechanism is set up, which can automatically adjust the resistance when the billet undergoes lateral displacement, slow down its movement speed, and prevent violent collisions. Attached Figure Description

The longitudinal buffer mechanism includes a buffer spring 5 and a pneumatic damper 6. The pneumatic damper 6 is fixed on the top surface of the slide plate 3 and multiple pneumatic dampers are evenly arranged. The telescopic part of each pneumatic damper 6 is sleeved with a buffer spring 5 connected to the bottom surface of the buffer plate 2. The buffer spring 5 and the pneumatic damper 6 work together to buffer the vertical impact of the billet.

[0033] Based on Example 1, combined with Appendix Figure 3-6 As shown, a transverse buffer mechanism and guide rail 4 are provided; a pair of guide rails 4 are provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the groove. After the slide plate 3 is slidably set on the two guide rails 4, the buffer plate 2 is connected to the transverse buffer mechanism on the top surface of the base 1, thereby buffering the transverse impact on the billet. The transverse buffer mechanism includes a fixed block 7 and a transverse buffer component; the fixed block 7 is fixed on one side of the top surface of the base 1, and the transverse buffer component is set between the fixed block 7 and the buffer plate 2, and a pair of them are mirror images; the transverse buffer component includes a fixed sleeve 8 and a telescopic rod 9; the fixed sleeve 8 is connected to the fixed block 7, and one end of the telescopic rod 9 is slidably set in the fixed sleeve 8, and the other end is detachably connected to the buffer plate 2. A return spring 10 connected to the telescopic rod 9 is provided in the fixed sleeve 8.

[0034] It also includes a T-shaped mounting block 11 and a T-shaped groove 12; both ends of the transverse buffer are provided with T-shaped mounting blocks 11 fixed on the fixed sleeve 8 and the telescopic rod 9, and the fixed block 7 and the buffer plate 2 are provided with T-shaped grooves 12 that cooperate with the T-shaped mounting blocks 11.
