Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of semi-continuous casting crystallizers, specifically a semi-continuous casting crystallizer with an adjustable cooling system. Background Technology

[0002] In the semi-continuous casting production process, the crystallizer is one of the key pieces of equipment. Its cooling effect directly affects the quality of the cast billet and the production efficiency. Traditional semi-continuous casting crystallizer cooling systems often use circulating water to carry away the high temperature inside the crystallizer to achieve cooling. In this way, the cooling effect of the incoming water is fixed, and it is difficult to make precise control and adjustment according to the cooling requirements of different cast billets, resulting in unstable billet quality and affecting production efficiency. In view of this, a semi-continuous casting crystallizer with an adjustable cooling system is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a semi-continuous casting crystallizer with an adjustable cooling system, which can adjust the flow rate and temperature of water to adapt to different billet cooling requirements, thereby improving billet quality and production efficiency.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a semi-continuous casting crystallizer with an adjustable cooling system, the main body including an outer shell and an inner mold, a cooling system provided between the inner mold and the outer shell, the cooling system being connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, characterized in that: a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the inlet pipe, a limiting member is provided inside the connecting pipe, the limiting member including a ring, an arc-shaped baffle rotatably connected to each side of the ring, a connecting buckle provided on the side of each arc-shaped baffle, a pull rod rotatably connected to each connecting buckle, the pull rod being screwed to the connecting pipe, the diameters of the two ends of each arc-shaped baffle being different, an auxiliary member provided inside the connecting pipe between the limiting member and the inlet pipe, the auxiliary member including a storage box, a rotating rod being provided on the storage box.

[0005] In some embodiments, a gear is provided on the rotating rod, and an adjusting member is provided between the water inlet pipe and the connecting pipe. The adjusting member includes a connecting plate, and a rack is slidably connected to the connecting plate. The gear meshes with the rack.

[0006] In some embodiments, pull rings are provided at both ends of the rack.

[0007] In some embodiments, there is a gap between the two arc-shaped baffles. In some embodiments, the storage box has multiple holes and is hollow inside, and the rotating rod is hollow inside and communicates with the storage box.

[0008] In some embodiments, a screw cap is attached to the end of the rotating rod.

[0009] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model is equipped with a limiting component. By controlling the opening and closing degree of the two arc-shaped baffles in the limiting component, the amount of water entering can be controlled. The large amount of water flow increases the efficiency of heat removal, thereby enhancing the cooling effect. At the same time, the cooling substance inside the storage box in the auxiliary component can reduce the temperature of the storage box, thereby reducing the temperature of the water flow in contact with it, thus improving the cooling effect of the water flow. The water flow can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of different casting billets, thereby improving the quality of casting billets and production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0015] See Figure 1-2 A semi-continuous casting crystallizer with an adjustable cooling system includes an outer shell and an inner mold. A cooling system is provided between the inner mold and the outer shell. The cooling system is connected to an inlet pipe 1 and an outlet pipe. The key feature is that a connecting pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the inlet pipe 1. A limiting member 3 is provided inside the connecting pipe 2. The limiting member 3 includes a ring 31. An arc-shaped baffle 32 is rotatably connected to each side of the ring 31. A connecting buckle 33 is provided on the side of each arc-shaped baffle 32. A pull rod 34 is rotatably connected to each connecting buckle 33. The pull rod 34 is screwed to the connecting pipe 2. The diameters at both ends of each arc-shaped baffle 32 are different. An auxiliary member 5 is provided inside the connecting pipe 2 between the limiting member 3 and the inlet pipe 1. The auxiliary member 5 includes a storage box 51. A rotating rod 52 is provided on the storage box 51.

[0016] Working Principle: When cooling the billet inside the crystallizer, the operator rotates the rotating rod 52, causing the storage box 51 to rotate 90 degrees and become perpendicular to the cross-section of the water inlet pipe 1. This allows water to quickly enter the cooling system inside the crystallizer and then flow out through the outlet pipe, carrying away the heat. This cycle repeats. This is the principle of existing crystallizer technology and will not be elaborated further here. During the entire process, the water flow first passes through the hollow frustum formed by the two arc-shaped baffles 32 in the limiting component 3. Since the diameters at both ends of each arc-shaped baffle 32 are different, by rotating the pull rod 34, the pull rod 34 moves the arc-shaped baffles 32 through the connecting buckle 33 under the constraint of the connecting pipe 2. This changes the opening size of the hollow frustum formed by the two arc-shaped baffles 32, thereby adjusting the water flow rate into the crystallizer cooling system. When it is necessary to increase the cooling water flow rate, the operator rotates the two pull rods 34, causing the arc-shaped baffles 32 to deflect about the axis of connection with the ring 31 until they contact the inner wall of the connecting pipe 2, thereby increasing the opening of the hollow frustum. The opening area of ​​the hollow frustum allows more cooling water to flow in. When the cooling water flow needs to be reduced, the operator rotates the two levers 34 to reset the two arc-shaped baffles 32, reducing the opening area of ​​the hollow frustum and limiting the amount of cooling water flowing in. After the water flows through the limiting component 3, it comes into contact with the storage box 51 of the auxiliary component 5. The storage box 51 contains refrigerant such as ice, which cools the water flow upon contact, thereby improving the cooling effect. If rapid cooling is required, the operator can reset the storage box 51 to initially contact the water flow with the largest contact area, and then slowly rotate the storage box 51 to allow the water flow to fully contact the storage box 51 containing ice, achieving rapid cooling and improving the cooling efficiency of the crystallizer. The operator can adjust the opening and closing of the two arc-shaped baffles 32 and the rotation of the storage box 51 according to the cooling effect requirements of the billet, thereby changing the flow rate and temperature of the cooling water, improving the flexibility of adjustment, accelerating the cooling rate of the billet, and improving production efficiency.

[0017] In some embodiments, a gear 53 is provided on the rotating rod 52, and an adjusting member 4 is provided between the water inlet pipe 1 and the connecting pipe 2. The adjusting member 4 includes a connecting plate 41, on which a rack 42 is slidably connected. The gear 53 meshes with the rack 42. When the operator needs to rotate the rotating rod 52, he only needs to pull the rack 42. Then the rack 42 drives the gear 53 to rotate, thereby causing the gear 53 to drive the rotating rod 52 to rotate, which in turn causes the storage box 51 to rotate as well. This allows for precise control of the rotation angle of the storage box 51, thereby adjusting the contact area between the storage box 51 and the water flow, and achieving flexible control of the water flow temperature.

[0018] In some embodiments, pull rings 43 are provided at both ends of the rack 42. This allows the operator to slide the rack 42 from different directions, improving ease of use and preventing the rack 42 from being pulled out of the connecting plate 41.

[0019] In some embodiments, there is a gap between the two arc-shaped baffles 32. The gap between the two arc-shaped baffles 32 ensures that the two arc-shaped baffles 32 will not interfere with each other when deflecting, thus improving the smoothness of operation. In some embodiments, the storage box 51 has multiple holes and is hollow inside. The rotating rod 52 is hollow inside and communicates with the storage box 51. This allows operators to easily replace or add cooling substances into the storage box 51, and the holes on the storage box 51 can increase the contact area between the water flow and the cooling substances inside the storage box 51, such as ice, thereby quickly cooling the water flow.

[0020] In some embodiments, a cap is connected to the end of the rotating rod 52. The cap prevents impurities from entering the water flow and affecting the cooling effect.

[0021] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
