Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of continuous casting related technology, specifically, it relates to an integrated quick-change device for long nozzles and submersible nozzles. Background Technology

[0002] Both the long nozzle and the submerged entry nozzle are core components of the three major casting equipment. The long nozzle is installed between the ladle and the tundish to prevent secondary oxidation of molten steel when it is poured into the tundish, avoid splashing of the steel flow, and ensure the stability of the casting process. The submerged entry nozzle is used to prevent secondary oxidation and splashing of molten steel during the pouring from the tundish, prevent protective slag from being entrained in the molten steel, promote uniform growth of the billet shell, and remove inclusions. During the use of the long nozzle and the submerged entry nozzle, the service life of the long nozzle and the submerged entry nozzle is relatively short due to the long-term high-temperature corrosion of the steel slag, and they need to be replaced. Application No. CN202122487562.1 discloses a quick-change device for long nozzles. Through the quick disassembly and assembly of a fixing sleeve and a fork-shaped component, it achieves the purpose of rapid replacement of long nozzles. It eliminates the need to remove the long nozzle from the support ring; only the insert-shaped component on the long nozzle to be replaced needs to be removed, and then the fork-shaped component with the new long nozzle is inserted into the fixing sleeve to complete the replacement. This greatly improves the efficiency of long nozzle replacement and reduces the labor intensity of workers. The support ring 7 of the device is set on a U-shaped frame 6, and the long nozzle is set on the support ring 7, making the operation of placing and removing the long nozzle from the U-shaped frame somewhat inconvenient. Activating the hydraulic cylinder causes the U-shaped fork 10 to push the U-shaped frame 6, thereby causing the entire fork-shaped component to detach from the fixing sleeve 2. At this time, the old long nozzle is pushed down by the U-shaped fork 10 along with the fork-shaped component. Since the removed old long nozzle is in a high-temperature state and is directly pushed down by the U-shaped fork, it poses a certain safety hazard.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

The end of the connecting end plate 9 away from the plug-in claw 6 is fixedly connected to the intermediate connecting plate 10. The other end of the intermediate connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed connecting seat 11. A limit plug-in hole 8 is provided on the upper surface of the end of the plug-in claw 6 away from the connecting end plate 9. A limit stop 16 is inserted and installed in the limit plug-in hole 8. Rotary support plates 14 with rotation adjustment are provided on both sides of the intermediate connecting plate 10 to effectively support the removal structure 5 when it is placed on the support platform frame 1.

[0020] The limiting insertion hole 8 is a rectangular hole structure, the limiting stop 16 is a U-shaped structure, and the lower end of the limiting stop 16 is provided with a plug rod 22. The shape and specifications of the plug rod 22 are adapted to the shape and specifications of the limiting insertion hole 8, so that the installation of the limiting stop 16 has good stability.

[0021] The lower end of the plug rod 22 is provided with a plug guide slope 23, and the upper part of the plug rod 22 is provided with a limit support ring 24. The limit stop 16 is made of high temperature resistant material and has a high temperature resistant and anti-corrosion coating on the outer layer to improve the service life of the limit stop 16.

[0022] The middle connecting plate 10 has symmetrical storage slots 21 on both sides. One end of the supporting rotating plate 14 is rotatably connected to the middle connecting plate 10. The rotatable connection end has a semi-circular arc structure. The bottom surface of the other end of the supporting rotating plate 14 is provided with a support block 15. The bottom surface of the support block 15 is flush with the bottom surface of the plug claw 6.

[0023] The inner side of the opening end of the plug claw 6 is provided with an installation guide slope 7, and the outer side of the fixed connecting seat 11 is fixedly provided with a mating plug plate 12. The installation placement slot 2 and the removal placement slot 3 are both open slot structures to facilitate the accommodation of the water inlet structure.

[0024] The end of the robotic arm 17 is connected to a movable connecting seat 18. The movable connecting seat 18 is provided with a mating insertion groove 20.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Referring to the robotic arm 17 used in application number CN202122487562.1, when replacing a long water nozzle, the operator controls the movement of the robotic arm 17. A removal structure 5 is provided on the moving connecting seat 18 of the robotic arm 17. The insertion claw 6 on the removal structure 5 is inserted and positioned at the outer step of the long water nozzle, effectively supporting it. The insertion claw 6 is provided with a stable support slope 25. As the long water nozzle is removed and falls completely onto the insertion claw 6, it tends to slide along the stable support slope 25. A limiting stop 16 is inserted and installed in the limiting insertion hole 8, effectively limiting the outer end position of the insertion claw 6 and enhancing stability during movement. To ensure the safety of the water inlet, the removal structure 5 with the long water inlet is placed in the removal and placement slot 3 under the action of the robotic arm 17. The support rotating plate 14 on the removal structure 5 is rotated outward and supported on the support platform frame 1, which effectively improves the stability of the removal structure 5 placed on the support platform frame 1. The fixing screws 19 on the fixed connecting seat 11 on the removal structure 5 and the moving connecting seat 18 on the robotic arm 17 are removed, so that the robotic arm 17 and the moving connecting seat 18 are separated and moved to the position of the installation slot 2. The installation structure 4 at the installation slot 2 is fixedly connected to the moving connecting seat 18. After the support rotating plate 14 on the installation structure 4 is rotated and stored, the robotic arm 17 drives the installation structure 4 to move to the installation position for the replacement of the new long water inlet. The device can also be used to replace the submersible water inlet. The specifications of the plug claw 6 are compatible with the specifications of the long water inlet and the submersible water inlet. The installation structure 4 and the removal structure 5 are made of high temperature resistant materials and coated with a high temperature resistant and anti-corrosion coating to improve the high temperature resistance. The mating position between the support rotating plate 14 and the storage groove 21 can be set with an iron plate, a magnetic adsorption structure or a damping structure to prevent the support rotating plate 14 from rotating out without reason. The specific structure is not limited. This utility model is provided with an installation structure 4 and a removal structure 5. Both the installation structure 4 and the removal structure 5 are provided with plug-in claws 6 and limit brackets 16, which are used to effectively plug in and support the sprue structure and limit its movement. The removal and installation processes can be carried out quickly and effectively, and the mechanical arm 17 can be used to quickly change the sprue structure. The support platform frame 1 is provided with a placement slot 2 for installation and a placement slot 3 for removal to place the support installation structure 4 and the removal structure 5 respectively. Rotating storage support rotating plates 14 are provided on both sides of the installation structure 4 and the removal structure 5 to improve the stability of the structure placement state. The mating structure of the fixed connecting seat 11 and the movable connecting seat 18 is open, and the mating state can be seen intuitively, which makes the connection operation easier.
