[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 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a continuous casting crystallizer liquid level calibration and verification device, including a transmission screw 1, a scale 2, a transmission handle 3, a support frame 4, a mounting block 5, and a clamping plate. The support frame 4 is U-shaped, with its U-shaped end resting on the top of the crystallizer inlet. The support frame 4 supports the entire structure of the device, and the U-shaped end is stably resting on the top of the crystallizer inlet, providing solid support. Simultaneously, a through hole on the support frame 1 accommodates the transmission screw 1, ensuring the screw's guidance. The support frame 4 has a through hole, within which the transmission screw 1 is located. By rotating the transmission screw 1, the mounting block 5 can rise or fall along the screw direction, thereby achieving liquid level calibration adjustment. The bottom threaded end of the transmission screw 1 is connected to the mounting block 5. By connecting with the transmission screw 1, the rotation of the screw can be converted into linear movement of the configuration block 5, used to adjust the position of the calibration liquid level. Under the weight of the configuration block 5, the top of the support frame 4 contacts the lower surface of the head of the transmission handle 3. When the handle is turned counterclockwise, the configuration block rises under the transmission of the screw, and falls clockwise. The top is connected to a limit plate, and the top of the through hole is provided with a cylindrical cap. The cylindrical cap is used to support the transmission cap 3 and limit the position of the transmission cap 3. The cylindrical cap is sleeved on the outside of the transmission screw 1 and fixedly connected to the support frame 4. The top of the cylindrical cap is provided with the transmission cap 3. The contact ends of the transmission cap 3 and the cylindrical cap are polished. The internal thread groove of the transmission cap 3 and the external thread of the transmission screw 1 are used to cooperate with each other, and the transmission... An adjusting handle is connected to the outer circumference of the cap 3 to drive the transmission cap 3 to rotate. The contact end between the transmission cap 3 and the cylindrical cap is polished to reduce friction during rotation. The transmission cap 3 is fitted onto the outer circumference of the transmission screw 1, and its inner wall has an internal thread groove. The bottom end of the transmission cap 3 abuts against the top end of the cylindrical cap. A vertically oriented groove is formed on one side of the transmission screw 1, and a scale 2 is attached to the groove. The scale 2, through its cooperation with the transmission screw 1, directly reads the calibrated value, thereby improving accuracy. When the configuration block 5 is at the top, the reading is 0; when it is at the bottom, the reading is 350mm. The U-shaped end of the support frame 4 has symmetrically formed sliding grooves on both the front and rear sides. Two sliders 6 are installed in the sliding grooves. The sliders 6 are used to adjust the external... The side circumference is used for clamping and positioning, while the threaded rod abuts against the bottom end of the support frame 4 for limiting movement, preventing the support frame 4 from shaking during the calibration process and thus causing inaccurate calibration results. The bottom end of the slider 6 extends away from the support frame 4, and the bottom end of the slider 6 exceeds the bottom end of the support frame 4, so as to firmly clamp the top of the crystallizer inlet, and securely connect the support frame 4 to the top of the crystallizer inlet. The contact end between the slider 6 and the top of the crystallizer inlet is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped end abuts against the outer circumference of the top of the crystallizer inlet. The arc-shaped end cooperates with the outer circumference of the top of the crystallizer inlet, and the arc-shaped end can better fit and stably position the device. The contact end between the slider 6 and the outer circumference of the top of the crystallizer inlet is equipped with an anti-slip pad.The anti-slip pad further increases the friction with the contact end at the top of the crystallizer inlet, preventing the device from sliding. It also slides onto the support frame 4. The slider 6 abuts against the outer circumference of the top of the crystallizer inlet. The sliders 6 are located on the left and right sides of the transmission screw 1, respectively. The two sliders 6 are connected by springs 10, which provide a certain pulling force to ensure that the slider 6 is always in close contact with the outer circumference of the top of the crystallizer inlet, avoiding errors or loosening. The springs 10 are located on the front and rear sides of the transmission screw 1, respectively. A threaded through hole is provided on the slider 6, and a threaded rod is installed inside the threaded through hole. The threaded rod passes through the slider 6, and its top end abuts against the bottom end of the support frame 4.
[0024] In use, place the calibration device at the top of the crystallizer and slide the slider 6 until its arc-shaped end contacts the outer circumference of the top of the crystallizer inlet. Then rotate the threaded rod until its top end contacts the bottom of the support frame 4, limiting the slider 6. Next, lower the configuration block 5 into the crystallizer inlet and turn the handle to rotate the transmission cap 3, which in turn rotates the transmission screw 1. Then, position the configuration block 5 at its highest point. When the configuration block is at its highest point, due to the rotation of the screw, it has risen to its maximum height, so the reading at this time is "0". This means that the starting point of the rise and fall of the configuration block 5 is the calibration reference point. At this time, the reading on the scale is "0", providing the initial reference position for the system.
[0025] When configuration block 5 descends: As configuration block 5 descends, the handle rotates, and the transmission screw 1 drives configuration block 5 to descend. The reading on scale 2 increases accordingly. The calibration process at this time can be achieved by observing the value on scale 2, ensuring that configuration block 5 is precisely adjusted according to actual needs and equipment standard parameters during its descent. Each rotation of the handle increases the reading accordingly, and different calibration parameters are adjusted based on actual requirements.
[0026] After use, apply lubricant to the transmission screw 1 promptly for maintenance, and have two people lift it away from the crystallizer area and store it in a place away from dust.
[0027] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 2-3 Based on Example 1, it also has the following structure:
[0028] Support legs 9 are connected to the contact ends of the support frame 4 and the top of the crystallizer inlet. The support legs 9 support the contact ends of the crystallizer inlet. The relative position of the support frame 9 and the crystallizer is precisely controlled by rotating the adjusting screws 8 to adjust the height between the support legs 9 and the support frame 4, thus leveling the support frame 4. The top of each support leg 9 has an adjusting screw 8 that passes through the support frame 4 and engages with threaded through holes on the support frame 4. An adjusting wheel is connected to the top of each screw 8, providing fine-tuning capability so that the height of the support legs 9 can be adjusted within a small range, ensuring that the support frame 4 is level during calibration. Anti-slip pads are provided at the contact ends of the support legs 9 and the top of the crystallizer inlet to increase friction and prevent slippage.
[0029] It also includes a level, which is set on the support frame 4. Observe the bubble of the level to see if the support frame 4 is level. If it is not level, rotate the adjusting screw 8 to fine-tune the height of the support foot 9 and adjust the support frame 4 so that the support frame 4 is perpendicular to the inner and outer arcs of the crystallizer and the whole is level. Then, perform the calibration work.
