Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of continuous casting technology, and in particular to an offline billet marking device. Background Technology

[0002] The steelmaking process in steel enterprises is a continuous, long-term, and multi-stage production process, and the quality of its products and intermediate products depends on every step of the production process. Therefore, throughout the entire production process, the quality of raw materials, the values ​​of process parameters, the operation of equipment, and the work performance of operators and inspectors all have a significant impact on the final product quality. In related technologies, billets are manually marked offline by the finishing unit. However, due to the limited content of the markings and significant differences in handwriting between individuals, this does not meet the principle of neat and uniform marking. Furthermore, manual marking in this technology is slow, increasing labor and time costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an offline billet marking device to solve the problems of high manpower and time costs, and inconsistent and untidy marking in the prior art for offline billet marking.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This application provides an offline billet marking device, comprising:

[0006] Movable type, wherein the movable type has a marking area for marking holes, and at least one corner of the movable type has a triangular groove in the thickness direction;

[0007] The base plate of the mold has a type groove to accommodate the type plate, and the type groove has a limiting angle that matches the triangular groove.

[0008] A cover plate having a paint spray nozzle is used to press and connect with the base plate to press and fix the movable type in the movable type groove and to fully expose the marking area in the paint spray nozzle.

[0009] In this solution, the marking area of ​​the type plate is used for marking holes. By spraying paint through these holes, neat and uniform markings can be obtained. The type plate is inserted into the type slot, and a triangular groove is provided at at least one corner of the type plate in the thickness direction. A limiting angle is correspondingly provided on the type slot. Through the cooperation of the triangular groove and the limiting angle, the type plate will not detach from the type slot from the insertion direction. After the type plate is inserted into the type slot, it can be fixed by pressing a cover plate onto the base plate. The cover plate has a paint spray nozzle. When the cover plate is pressed onto the base plate, the marking area can be fully exposed in the paint spray nozzle, thus providing space for subsequent painting.

[0010] In use, the finishing process begins by inspecting the cut surfaces of the incoming casting billet. Billets with uneven cut surfaces are treated separately to ensure a smooth cut surface for easy marking. Next, the selected type plates with the desired marking holes are placed in the type slots, and the cover plate is used to secure the type plates. Finally, the type plates are placed on the end face of the billet and painted to obtain neat and uniform markings.

[0011] Optionally, the type slots have multiple slots.

[0012] The furnace number for billet identification includes the continuous casting machine number, year code, furnace base number, furnace service number, and furnace order number. Identifying billets with different furnace numbers requires creating corresponding type plates. Since there are various combinations of furnace number content, this necessitates the production of a large number of type plates, making searching and replacement inconvenient. Furthermore, furnace number information, such as the year code, is only valid for a limited time; after the expiration date, the entire type plate becomes invalid, resulting in significant resource waste. This solution addresses the issue of some furnace number content being identical across different furnace numbers. By distributing the furnace number information across multiple type plates, each type plate can identify a portion of the furnace number. When encountering billet identification with identical furnace number content, only the type plate corresponding to the furnace number needs to be replaced. In managing the type plates, those with corresponding furnace number content can be placed together in an orderly manner. When replacing the corresponding content, it is simply a matter of searching within the corresponding type plate's placement area, greatly facilitating the search and replacement of type plates.

[0013] Optionally, the plurality of movable type slots are of the same size and arranged vertically at equal intervals, and there is one paint spray nozzle. When the cover plate and the base plate are pressed together, the cover plate is pressed together on both sides of each movable type slot in the length direction.

[0014] In this design, the cover plate has a simple structure with a single paint spray nozzle, resulting in a lightweight overall device. Multiple type slots are of the same size and arranged vertically at equal intervals. When the cover plate is pressed against the base plate, opposite sides of the cover plate can be pressed against both sides of each type slot along its length, thereby fixing multiple type plates within the type slots.

[0015] Optionally, one end of the cover plate is hinged to the base plate via a hinge, and the other end is connected to the base plate via a latch.

[0016] Optionally, the latch includes a buckle disposed on the cover plate and a corresponding slot disposed on the base plate.

[0017] In this design, the cover and base plate are connected by hinges and latches. This hinged connection makes it easier to remove and store the cover and base plate as a single unit. The hinges and latches are located at opposite ends of the cover plate; rotating the cover plate inserts the latches into their slots, enabling a quick connection between the cover and base plate.

[0018] Optionally, the triangular groove and the limiting angle each have three.

[0019] In this design, there are three triangular grooves and three limiting angles. When the movable type is inserted into the groove, the three triangular grooves press against the three limiting angles to ensure correct installation and effectively prevent the movable type from being installed backwards.

[0020] Optionally, a handle is provided on the base plate, and the handle is tilted toward one side of the cover plate.

[0021] When in use, the operator can hold the handle with one hand, align the movable type area with the end face of the blank, and perform the painting operation with the other hand.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows: In this application, the marking area of ​​the movable type is used for marking holes. By spraying paint through the marking holes, neat and uniform markings can be obtained. The movable type is inserted into the type slot, and a triangular groove is provided at at least one corner of the movable type in the thickness direction. A limiting angle is correspondingly provided on the type slot. Through the cooperation of the triangular groove and the limiting angle, the movable type will not detach from the type slot from the insertion direction. After the movable type is inserted into the type slot, it can be fixed by pressing a cover plate onto the base plate. The cover plate has a paint spray nozzle. When the cover plate is pressed onto the base plate, the marking area can be fully exposed in the paint spray nozzle, thereby providing spraying space for subsequent painting. This application enables quick and accurate marking of the blank by hand, saving labor and time costs. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure / application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] This embodiment describes an offline billet marking device, referencing... Figures 1 to 5 The offline blank marking device in this embodiment includes: a movable type plate 1, a base plate 2, and a cover plate 3. The movable type plate 1 has a marking area 11 for marking holes. By spraying paint onto the marking holes, neat and uniform markings can be obtained. The movable type plate 1 is disposed on the base plate 2. Specifically, the base plate 2 has a corresponding movable type groove 21 to accommodate the movable type plate 1. At least one corner of the movable type plate 1 has a triangular groove 12 in the thickness direction, and the movable type groove 21 has a limiting angle 22 that matches the triangular groove 12. Through the cooperation of the triangular groove 12 and the limiting angle 22, the movable type plate 1 will not detach from the movable type groove 21 from the insertion direction. Further, the cover plate 3 is used to press and connect with the base plate 2 to press and fix the movable type plate within the movable type groove 21. The cover plate 3 has a paint spray nozzle 31. When the cover plate 3 is pressed together with the base plate 2, the marking area 11 is fully exposed in the paint spray nozzle 31, thereby providing spraying space for subsequent painting.

[0033] In use, the finishing process first inspects the cut surfaces of the incoming casting billet. Billets with uneven cut surfaces are treated separately to ensure a smooth cut surface for easy marking. Next, the selected type plate 1 with the desired marking holes is placed in the type slot 21, and the cover plate 3 is used to secure the type plate 1. Finally, it is placed on the end face of the billet and painted to obtain neat and uniform markings.

[0034] In this embodiment, a handle 6 is also provided on the base plate 2, and the handle 6 is tilted towards the cover plate 3. In use, the operator can hold the handle 6 with one hand, align the movable type area with the end face of the blank, and perform the painting operation with the other hand.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Based on the same inventive concept as Embodiment 1, the billet identification heat number includes the continuous casting machine number, year code, furnace base number, furnace service number, and furnace order number. Identifying billets with different heat numbers requires the production of corresponding movable type plates 1. Since there are various combinations of heat number content, this means a large number of movable type plates 1 need to be produced, which is inconvenient for searching and changing. Furthermore, heat number content such as the year code can only be used within a certain period; if the period expires, the entire movable type plate 1 becomes invalid, resulting in a significant waste of resources.

[0037] In this embodiment, multiple movable type slots 21 are provided, meaning multiple movable type plates 1 can be placed. By setting the furnace number information on multiple movable type plates 1, each movable type plate 1 can identify a portion of the furnace number. When encountering furnace number markings with identical furnace number information on some cast billets, only the movable type plate 1 corresponding to the furnace number needs to be replaced. In managing the movable type plates 1, those with corresponding furnace number information can be placed together in an orderly manner. When it is necessary to replace the corresponding information, it is only necessary to search in the corresponding movable type plate 1 placement area, greatly facilitating the search and replacement of the movable type plates 1.

[0038] Typically, the furnace number for billet identification includes five types: continuous casting machine number, year code, furnace base number, furnace service number, and furnace order number. In some embodiments, the five furnace number contents can be combined on three movable type plates 1 and installed through three movable type slots 21.

[0039] refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, for the sake of lightweighting, in this embodiment, the multiple type slots 21 are of the same size and arranged vertically at equal intervals. Furthermore, the cover plate 3 has one paint spray nozzle 31, which is pressed onto both sides of each type slot 21 along its length when the cover plate 3 is pressed together with the base plate 2. By providing a paint spray nozzle 31 on the cover plate 3, the structure of the cover plate 3 is simplified, and the overall weight of the device is reduced. The multiple type slots 21 are of the same size and arranged vertically at equal intervals. When the cover plate 3 is pressed together with the base plate 2, one opposite side of the cover plate 3 can be pressed onto both sides of each type slot 21 along its length, thereby fixing the multiple type plates 1 in the type slots 21.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] Based on the same inventive concept as Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, one end of the cover plate 3 is hinged to the base plate 2 via a hinge 4, and the other end is connected to the base plate 2 via a latch 5. The latch 5 includes a snap-fit ​​51 on the cover plate 3 and a corresponding slot 52 on the base plate 2. Inserting the snap-fit ​​into the slot 52 connects the cover plate 3 to the base plate 2, and pressing the end of the snap-fit ​​51 releases it. The hinged connection via the hinge 4 makes it easier to handle and store the cover plate 3 and base plate 2 as a single unit. The hinge 4 and latch 5 are located at opposite ends of the cover plate 3; rotating the cover plate 3 inserts the snap-fit ​​51 into the slot 52, enabling a quick connection between the cover plate 3 and the base plate 2.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 To prevent the movable type 1 from being installed backwards into the movable type slot 21, this embodiment has three triangular slots 12 and three limiting angles 22. When the movable type 1 is inserted into the movable type slot 21, the three triangular slots 12 are pressed against the three limiting angles 22 to ensure correct installation and effectively prevent the movable type 1 from being installed backwards.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this disclosure / application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this disclosure / application.
