Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold casting technology, and in particular to a mold casting protective casting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the steel smelting industry, ingot casting protection devices are important equipment to ensure that molten steel is protected from external contamination and maintains high quality during the casting process.

[0003] In traditional mold casting protective casting devices, during the casting process, the 200mm-250mm distance between the high-temperature molten steel exiting the ladle nozzle and the gate makes it easy for the molten steel to come into contact with air. This contact leads to nitrogen accumulation in the molten steel, ultimately affecting the mechanical properties and service life of the steel. Currently, some mold casting processes lack protective devices, while others have simple protective casting devices, but these are merely shells with poor protective casting effects. Furthermore, due to the large amount of heat released during the casting process, the protective devices suffer from insufficient cooling speed and uneven cooling, making them prone to deformation and resulting in a short lifespan. Therefore, we propose a new mold casting protective casting device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a mold casting protective casting device that can effectively reduce contact with air, reduce nitrogen accumulation in molten steel, and thus improve the mechanical properties and service life of the steel. It can also solve problems such as insufficient cooling rate and uneven cooling in mold casting protective devices, thereby improving the service life of the protective casting device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mold casting protective casting device, comprising:

[0006] A molten steel tank and a fixed base plate, with the molten steel tank located above the fixed base plate;

[0007] The die-casting cooling structure is located on a fixed base plate.

[0008] The in-mold cooling structure includes a lower protective cover, an upper protective cover, two cooling pipes, two water inlet pipes, two drain pipes, and two arc-shaped fixing plates.

[0014] 1. This molded protective casting device, through the cooperation of cooling pipes, water inlet pipes, drain pipes, arc-shaped fixing plates, mounting plates and bolts, facilitates the installation of two cooling pipes using bolts.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mold casting protective casting device, comprising:

[0027] A steel pool 1 and a fixed base plate 2, with the steel pool 1 located above the fixed base plate 2;

[0028] The die-casting cooling structure is located on the fixed base plate 2;

[0029] The in-mold cooling structure includes a lower protective cover 3, an upper protective cover 9, two cooling pipes 4, two water inlet pipes 7, two drain pipes 6, and two arc-shaped fixing plates 14. The lower protective cover 3 is installed on the top of the fixed base plate 2, the upper protective cover 9 is installed inside the lower protective cover 3, the two arc-shaped fixing plates 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base plate 2, the two cooling pipes 4 are fixedly connected to the corresponding arc-shaped fixing plates 14, and the two water inlet pipes 7 and the two drain pipes 6 are fixedly connected to the corresponding cooling pipes 4.

[0030] Two mounting plates 5 are fixedly connected to the top of each of the two arc-shaped fixing plates 14. Two bolts 15 are threaded onto the four mounting plates 5. The two arc-shaped fixing plates 14 are installed by the two bolts 15. A water inlet 8 is opened on the inner bottom wall of the steel pool 1. The water inlet 8 is connected to the interior of the lower protective cover 3. An argon blowing ring pipe 10 is fixedly sleeved on the upper protective cover 9. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the argon blowing ring pipe 10. A connector 11, a pressure gauge 12 and a pressure regulating valve 13 are fixedly installed on the connecting pipe.

[0031] The upper protective cover 9 is a cylindrical steel cover with a taper of 18-22°, a height of 145-155 mm, and a top diameter of 195-205 mm. An argon gas distribution channel is provided inside the cover, with an inlet pipe installed within the channel. Several vertically downward gas vents are opened on the channel. The lower inner and outer layers of the cover are wrapped with refractory material. The lower protective cover 3 consists of two semi-cylindrical covers with the same taper as the upper protective cover 9, a height of 145-155 mm, and a bottom diameter of 395-405 mm. Both the inner and outer layers of the cover are wrapped with refractory material. The argon gas distribution channel is an annular channel located at the top of the cover, and the refractory material is asbestos felt.

[0032] Furthermore, when using the device, two arc-shaped fixing plates 14 are installed by personnel using two bolts 15, so that two cooling pipes 4 can be wrapped and attached to the outside of the lower protective cover 3. By connecting the external pipes to the water inlet pipe 7 and the drain pipe 6, the coolant can flow in the cooling pipes 4, thereby facilitating the cooling of the molded parts inside the lower protective cover 3. With the cooling pipes 4 wrapped and attached, the cooling pipes 4 can uniformly and quickly cool the molded parts inside the lower protective cover 3.

[0033] Hoist the ladle to the casting car platform and adjust it until the center of the ladle nozzle 8 is aligned with the center of the inlet pipe; 1. Place a layer of high-temperature refractory asbestos felt along the upper edge of the inlet pipe; 2. After the argon gas test is normal, place a bowl-shaped zirconium fiber sealing ring above the tapered cylindrical protective steel cover, then place the protective steel cover below the ladle nozzle 8, close to the bottom of the ladle, start the casting car to the pouring position and start pouring. After the guide sand has flowed out completely and the casting is round, close the slide plate and start the casting car until the center of the ladle nozzle 8 is aligned with the center of the inlet pipe; 3. Open the argon gas valve and adjust the argon gas pressure to 0.1~0. 3MPa; 4. Casting: After adjusting the steel flow to a suitable level, place two tapered semi-cylindrical lower protective covers from both sides of the casting car onto the refractory asbestos felt of the extended section of the middle injection pipe. The upper edge of the lower protective cover should be close to the lower edge of the upper protective cover. Ensure that one end of the two semi-cylindrical protective steel covers is tightly attached. If there is a gap at the other end, high-temperature resistant asbestos felt can be inserted to maintain the argon pressure inside the protective cover greater than the external gas pressure, thus achieving full protection of the steel flow during casting. This invention isolates air by implementing full argon protection for the cast flow exposed to air, reducing the contact between molten steel and air. Nitrogen addition during the casting process is ≤8ppm.

[0034] The protective casting device consists of two layers of protective steel covers. The upper protective cover is a cylindrical steel cover with a 20° taper, 151 mm high and 200 mm in diameter at the top.

The argon gas distribution channel is an annular channel located at the top of the cover. The refractory material is high-temperature refractory asbestos felt. The casting steel grade is 12Cr2Mo1VR. Samples were taken from the beginning and end of the rolled steel for comparison with ladle samples, with nitrogen additions of 6 ppm and 5 ppm respectively during the process.

[0035] The protective casting device consists of two layers of protective steel covers. The upper protective cover is a cylindrical steel cover with a 20° taper, 150mm high and 201mm in diameter at the top. An argon gas distribution channel with an inlet pipe is located within the cover; several vertically downward gas vents are located along the channel. The lower inner and outer layers of the cover are lined with refractory material. The lower protective cover consists of two semi-cylindrical covers with the same taper as the upper cover, 148mm high and 404mm in diameter at the bottom. Both the inner and outer layers of these covers are lined with refractory material. The bottom of the sprue is 220mm from the extension platform of the central injection pipe. The argon gas distribution channel is an annular channel located at the top of the cover. The refractory material is high-temperature refractory asbestos felt. The casting steel grade is 12Cr2Mo1VR. Samples were taken from the beginning and end of the rolled steel for comparison with ladle samples, with nitrogen additions of 4ppm and 3ppm respectively during the process.
