[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 A movable insulation box for a continuous casting machine includes an insulation box body 1, and the left and right side walls of the insulation box body 1 are provided with a moving mechanism and a locking mechanism.

[0023] The moving mechanism includes multiple wheel axles 2 that are fixedly connected to the left and right side walls of the insulated box body 1 and distributed in the front and back. The outer walls of the multiple wheel axles 2 are rotatably connected to wheels 3. The multiple wheels 3 are arranged in groups of two, one in front and one behind, and each group of two wheels 3 is provided with a track 4 below it.

[0024] The locking mechanism includes multiple slots 5 evenly distributed on the upper surface of the two tracks 4. The left and right side walls of the insulated box body 1 are fixedly connected to mounting boxes 6 located above the wheels 3. Two screws 7 distributed on the front and back are provided above the two mounting boxes 6. The lower ends of the multiple screws 7 are respectively matched with the multiple slots 5. The lower ends of the multiple screws 7 pass through the two mounting boxes 6 and extend into the corresponding slots 5. The multiple screws 7 are slidably connected to the mounting boxes 6.

[0025] In this embodiment: when moving the insulation box body 1, the locking mechanism first releases the locking state of the insulation box body 1. Specifically, multiple screws 7 move upward, causing multiple screws 7 to move out of their corresponding slots 5, thereby releasing the locking state of the insulation box body 1. Then, the insulation box body 1 is pushed to move through two sets of wheels 3. During the movement of the insulation box body 1, the two sets of wheels 3 roll on two tracks 4 respectively. When the insulation box body 1 moves to a suitable position, the locking mechanism locks the insulation box body 1. Specifically, multiple screws 7 move downward, causing multiple screws 7 to enter their corresponding slots 5, thereby locking the insulation box body 1 and preventing it from moving arbitrarily. Thus, through the cooperation between the two sets of wheels 3 and the two tracks 4, the position movement of the insulation box body 1 can be achieved by a single person's manual operation, without the need for hoisting equipment or multiple people's intervention, reducing manpower requirements, improving work efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and reducing safety risks caused by equipment failure or operational errors.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer walls of multiple screws 7 are threadedly connected with worm gears 8 located inside two mounting boxes 6 respectively. The multiple worm gears 8 are grouped in pairs, and the interiors of the two mounting boxes 6 are rotatably connected with worms 9 that mesh with the two groups of worm gears 8 respectively.

[0027] In this embodiment: the two worm gears 9 rotate, and the two worm gears 9 drive the two sets of worm wheels 8 to rotate. The two sets of worm wheels 8 are connected by threads to drive multiple screws 7 to move synchronously upward or downward.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer walls of multiple wheel axles 2 are threaded with axle end retaining rings 10, and the axle end retaining rings 10 are matched with the wheels 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer walls of multiple wheel axles 2 are threaded with axle end retaining rings 10 that are respectively matched with multiple wheels 3. The axle end retaining rings 10 can limit and fix the wheels 3, so that the wheels 3 can rotate smoothly on the outer wall of the wheel axle 2.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper ends of multiple screws 7 are all fixedly connected with stop blocks 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper ends of multiple screws 7 are all fixedly connected to a stop 11, which can limit the movement of the screws 7.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the front ends of the two worm gears 9 extend to the front of the two mounting boxes 6 respectively, and are fixedly connected with torsion blocks 12.

[0033] In this embodiment, the front ends of the two worm gears 9 extend to the front of the two mounting boxes 6 respectively, and are fixedly connected with torsion blocks 12, which facilitate the rotation of the worm gears 9.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the lower end faces of the two tracks 4 are fixedly connected with brackets 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lower end faces of both tracks 4 are fixedly connected to brackets 13, which can support and place the tracks 4.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the screw 7 and the mounting box 6 are slidably connected by a limiting groove and a limiting slider.

[0037] In this embodiment, the screw 7 can be limited by the limiting groove and the limiting slider to prevent the screw 7 from rotating with the worm gear 8.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When moving the insulation box body 1, two torsion blocks 12 drive two worm gears 9 to rotate. The two worm gears 9 drive two sets of worm wheels 8 to rotate. The two sets of worm wheels 8 drive multiple screws 7 to move upward synchronously through a threaded connection, so that the multiple screws 7 move out of their corresponding slots 5, thereby releasing the locking state of the insulation box body 1. Then, the insulation box body 1 is pushed to move through two sets of wheels 3. During the movement of the insulation box body 1, the two sets of wheels 3 roll on two tracks 4 respectively. When the insulation box body 1 moves to the appropriate position, the two worm gears 9 are rotated in the opposite direction, so that the multiple screws 7 move downward and enter their corresponding slots 5, thereby locking the insulation box body 1. Thus, through the cooperation between the two sets of wheels 3 and the two tracks 4, the position movement of the insulation box body 1 can be achieved by a single person's manual operation.
