Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for shaping the arc-shaped billet of a roller conveyor, belonging to the technical field of continuous casting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In continuous casting production, the fan-shaped section is an essential piece of equipment. The cooling water within the fan-shaped section cools the billet. Uneven cooling can lead to uneven shrinkage of the billet. After exiting the fan-shaped section, the unevenly shrunk billet may form an arc-shaped billet that remains on the conveyor rollers. If this occurs at the end of a casting cycle, the arc-shaped billet may remain on the conveyor rollers. For continuous casting machines with downward-passing ingots, the arc-shaped billet cannot be drawn onto the conveyor rollers, directly resulting in longer casting intervals and impacting production. Currently, the method for dealing with arc-shaped billets remaining on the conveyor rollers is as follows: the contact area between the billet and the conveyor rollers is cut at an angle using a flame cutter. Then, the rollers are started to transport the billet to a position where it can be lifted by an overhead crane, which then removes it. In cases of severe arcing, the billet is cut into several segments using a flame cutter, the rollers are started, and the smaller segments are sent to a position where the overhead crane can lift them. The current processing method results in excessively long cutting time for the billet on the roller conveyor, which seriously affects production and easily leads to the scrapping of the billet. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the method. Utility Model Content

[0015] This utility model consists of a base 1, a support frame 2, a cooling water pipe 3, a combustion gas pipe 4, a cooling water nozzle 5, a gas nozzle 6, a water spray pipe 10, a cooling water valve 11, a jet pipe 12, a cooling water valve 13, a gas valve 14, and an oxygen valve 14.

[0016] Figure 1 , 2 The base 1 is a rectangular plate with a traveling roller 9 installed on its bottom surface. The base 1 is placed on one side of the roller conveyor and can move along the running direction of the roller conveyor to shape the arc-shaped billet 16 on the roller conveyor.

[0017] Figure 1 , 2As shown, the support frame 2 is an upright column, which is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the base 1. The lower end of the support frame 2 is fixed in the middle of the width of the base 1 to keep the support frame 2 stable and prevent it from tilting back and forth.

[0018] Figure 1 , 2 The cooling water pipe 3 and the combustion gas pipe 4 are both long pipes, placed horizontally, with their rear portions fixed to the upper part of the support frame 2. The cooling water pipe 3 and the combustion gas pipe 4 are parallel and in the same vertical plane, with their bodies perpendicular to the running direction of the roller conveyor. Their front ends are located above and below the arc-shaped billet 16 of the roller conveyor, respectively. The cooling water pipe 3 and the combustion gas pipe 4 can respectively transport cooling water and combustion gas to shape the arc-shaped billet 16.

[0019] Figure 1 The display shows that the cooling water pipe 3 and the combustion gas pipe 4 installed on the support frame 2 are located between the two conveying rollers 15 of the roller conveyor. When the base 1 and the support frame 2 move along the running direction of the roller conveyor, the conveying rollers 15 of the roller conveyor will not affect the baking heating and water spraying cooling of the arc-shaped billet 16 by the cooling water pipe 3 and the combustion gas pipe 4.

[0020] Figure 1 The display shows that there is a water spray pipe 10 below the front of the cooling water pipe 3. The water spray pipe 10 is placed horizontally and is perpendicular to the running direction of the roller conveyor. Multiple cooling water nozzles 5 are evenly distributed along the length of the bottom surface of the water spray pipe 10. The cooling water nozzles 5 are opposite to the top of the arc-shaped billet 16 on the roller conveyor and are used to spray water to cool the arc-shaped billet 16.

[0021] Figure 1 The display shows that the rear end of the cooling water pipe 3 is connected to the water supply pipe, and a cooling water valve 11 is installed at the connection between the rear end of the cooling water pipe 3 and the water supply pipe. The cooling water valve 11 can control the flow rate of cooling water in the cooling water pipe 3.

[0022] Figure 1 The display shows that there is a jet pipe 12 above the front of the combustion gas pipe 4. The jet pipe 12 is placed horizontally and is perpendicular to the running direction of the roller conveyor. Multiple gas nozzles 6 are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the jet pipe 12 along the length direction. The gas nozzles 6 are opposite to the lower surface of the arc-shaped casting billet 16 on the roller conveyor and are used to burn and bake the arc-shaped casting billet 16.

[0023] Figure 1The display shows that the rear end of the combustion pipe 4 is connected to the gas pipe 7 and the oxygen pipe 8, respectively. The gas pipe 7 and the oxygen pipe 8 are connected to the gas delivery pipeline and the oxygen delivery pipeline, respectively. Gas valve 13 and oxygen valve 14 are installed on the gas pipe 7 and oxygen pipe 8 connected to the rear end of the combustion pipe 4, respectively. Gas valve 13 and oxygen valve 14 can regulate the flow rate of gas and oxygen input, so that the input gas and oxygen flow rates reach the optimal ratio, improving the combustion and baking effect on the bow-shaped casting 16.

[0024] Figure 1 As shown, there are reinforcing ribs at the connections between the support frame 2 and the cooling water pipe 3 and the combustion gas pipe 4, respectively, to strengthen the connection between the support frame 2 and the cooling water pipe 3 and the combustion gas pipe 4. Similarly, there are also reinforcing ribs between the cooling water pipe 3 and the water spray pipe 10, and between the combustion gas pipe 4 and the jet pipe 12, to increase their connection strength.

[0025] Figure 2 The working process of this utility model is shown as follows:

[0026] Push the base 1 between the two conveying rollers 15 on the side of the arc-shaped billet 16, so that the combustion gas pipe 4 and the jet pipe 12 are located below the arc-shaped billet 16 on the roller table, ensuring that the jet direction of the gas nozzle 6 on the jet pipe 12 is opposite to the lower surface of the arc-shaped billet 16 on the roller table, and at the same time, place the cooling water pipe 3 and the water spray pipe 10 above the arc-shaped billet 16 on the roller table, ensuring that the water spray direction of the cooling water nozzle 5 on the water spray pipe 10 is opposite to the upper surface of the arc-shaped billet 16 on the roller table.

[0027] Place the electronic lighter above the nozzle 6 of the gas nozzle 12 below the bow-shaped billet 16, open the gas valve 13, press the button of the electronic lighter, ignite the gas sprayed from the nozzle 6 of the electronic lighter, then open the oxygen valve 14, adjust the size of the flame, and start baking the lower surface of the bow-shaped billet 16. After the temperature of the lower surface of the bow-shaped billet 16 rises, close the oxygen valve 14 and at the same time reduce the gas valve 13.

[0028] When the gas valve 13 is reduced, the cooling water valve 11 of the cooling water pipe 3 is opened. The cooling water is sprayed onto the upper surface of the bow-shaped billet 16 through the cooling water nozzle 5 of the spray pipe 10. While cooling the bow-shaped billet 16, the bending state of the bow-shaped billet 16 is observed. If the bow shape of the bow-shaped billet 16 is relieved, the bow-shaped billet 16 can be sent away along the roller conveyor 3 through the roller conveyor. Then the bow shape treatment of the billet is completed.

[0029] If the arc-shaped billet 16 still cannot be sent away by the roller conveyor, close the cooling water valve 11 of the cooling water pipe 3, stop the cooling water from the cooling water nozzle 5 to cool the arc-shaped billet 16, open the gas valve 13, open the oxygen valve 14, and bake the lower surface of the arc-shaped billet 16 again.

[0030] After baking for a period of time, close the oxygen valve 14, reduce the gas valve 13, and then open the cooling water valve 11 of the cooling water pipe 3. Use the cooling water nozzle 5 to spray water to cool the upper surface of the bow-shaped billet 16 again until the bow shape of the bow-shaped billet 16 can be conveyed away by the conveyor roller, thus completing the shaping process of the bow-shaped billet 16.
