Abstract
Abstract A horizontal continuous casting device for the continuous casting of metal, more particularly steel, is provided with a storage vessel and one or more horizontal continuous casting moulds, the storage vessel being separable from the horizontal casting moulds and closed off. In the case of any deviation from the casting axis, due to the continuous casting mould or storage vessels being incorrectly aligned with the continuous casting lines, easy and rapid inter-changeability of one or more of the continuous casting moulds is ensured by providing connections, adjustable in relation to the casting axis, between the storage vessel and the mould. The storage vessel comprises a perforated brick with an inserted nozzle brick; the connection is adjustable in relation to the casting axis and bears sealingly against the end face of the nozzle brick.
Description
42~67 This invention relates to a horizontal continuous casting device for one or more casting lines for metal, more particularly steel, the device comprising a storage vessel which is connected to one or more horizontal continuous casting moulds in such a manner as to be separable and closed ofE from the moulds and an extracting machine for each of the moulds, the storage vessel, continuous casting moulds, and extracting machines being aligned with the respective casting lines Horizontal continuous casting devices of this kind make continuous casting possible without breakdowns. Maximal utilization and service life are sought for the device.
It is known from German OS 23 55 015 to provide, between the container accommodating the molten metal and the horizontal continuous casting mould, a detachable connection which eliminates heat loss and which makes it possible to halt the flow of metal from the container in case of need.
Interruptions in the casting operation are usually caused by an interruption in the flow of molten metal in the line, leaving the metal remaining in the mould to be removed after it has solidified. In the case of the storage vessel, an interruption in the casting operation usually also means removing the metal remaining in it. However, after it has been separated from the horizontal continuous casting mould, the storage vessel may be tilted, cleaned and inspected (German Registered Design 82 01 246.6). However, the prior art gives no indication of how the storage vessel and the mould can and must be reunited after this maintenance has been carried out.
It has hitherto never been taken into account that the intermediate container, the horizontal continuous casting mould, and the extracting machine are no longer in alignment
It is known from German OS 23 55 015 to provide, between the container accommodating the molten metal and the horizontal continuous casting mould, a detachable connection which eliminates heat loss and which makes it possible to halt the flow of metal from the container in case of need.
Interruptions in the casting operation are usually caused by an interruption in the flow of molten metal in the line, leaving the metal remaining in the mould to be removed after it has solidified. In the case of the storage vessel, an interruption in the casting operation usually also means removing the metal remaining in it. However, after it has been separated from the horizontal continuous casting mould, the storage vessel may be tilted, cleaned and inspected (German Registered Design 82 01 246.6). However, the prior art gives no indication of how the storage vessel and the mould can and must be reunited after this maintenance has been carried out.
It has hitherto never been taken into account that the intermediate container, the horizontal continuous casting mould, and the extracting machine are no longer in alignment
- 2 - 2~67 after a certain number of charges, or even after they have been heated up for the initial pouring. The horizontal continuous casting moulds, once released from the storage vessel, are no longer aligned with the outlets of the storage vessel. This deviation increases sharply, depending upon whether the continuous casting device has one or more lines, and may reach values of lO mm, for example.
It is an object of the present invention to provide suitable means to pick up the deviations and alignment errors between the storage vessel and the mould.
According to the invention, in the case of a horizontal continuous casting device of the kind referred to above, this object is achieved in the following way. To achieve easy and rapid interchangeability of one or more of the continuous casting moulds, a connection is provided between each storage vessel and mould, the connection being adjust-able in relation to the casting axis, the storage vessel comprising a perforated brick with an inserted nozzle brick, the said connection, which is adjustable in relation to the casting axis, bearing sealingly against the end face of the nozzle brick. Thus the invention picks up the above mentioned deviations between the storage vessel and the horizontal continuous casting mould by means of the adjust-able connection, thus compensating for them. Since the adjustable connection also performs a sealing function, deviations between the axes of the storage vessel and the mould may be picked up in the interior of the adjustable connection in such a manner that a slight deflection of the flow of liquid metal takes place, but this has no detrimental consequences.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the connection, which is adjustable in relation to the casting axis, is located on the side of the storage vessel facing the line-extracting machine. In this case, easy and rapid changing ~2~)6~
of the mould and/or the storage vessel is effected laterally or upwardly in a horizontal continuous casting device.
According to another embodiment of the invention, however, the adjustable connection is located on the underside of the storage vessel, within an angular castina metal auide which is connected directly to the horizontal continuous casting mould. In this case, therefore, removal and reinstal-lation of the mould, for example if the storage vessel is to remain in place, is effected downwardly and to one side, the work being unaffected by the casting ladle, which is located above the storage vessel during the casting operation.
According to a further development of the invention, the connection comprises a concentrically arranged sealing surface adjacent to the end face of the nozzle brick. This increases the sealing action at~the end face of the nozzle brick and is therefore particularly capable of meeting the requirements of increased sealing action in the event of major axial deviations between the storage vessel and the horizontal continuous casting mould.
The desired sealing action, in the event of axial deviations between the storage vessel and the mould, is furthermore improved by arranging that either the end face of the nozzle brick, or an adjusting element completing the concentrically arranged sealing surface, is formed, as a spatial oval or sphere, for example, on the relevant sealing surface, and by having the said adjusting element adapted to be secured to the nozzle brick.
Desirable increased mobility during removal of the horizon-tal continuous casting mould, which is not to be released separately from the remaining components, is achieved in the following way. A universally mounted pouring gate, which is adapted to be fitted to the storage vessel in such a manner as to exclude air is provided in the vertical leg _ 4 _ ~4~6~
of the angular casting metal guide. This subdivision into different assemblies makes it possible for the mould, together with the other components, to be dismantled, e.g.
moved out, at the rear of the horizontal continuous casting device.
A further development of the invention takes into account metallurgical requirements during the casting operation.
Thus additional features ensure that the pouring gate in the angular casting metal guide is arranged in such a manner as to be sealed from the outside atmosphere.
Still another development of the invention takes account of additional operating requirements, in that the height of the vertical part of the angular casting metal guide is governed by the necessary ferrostatic pressure.
In the event of an emergency, i.e. an interruption in the flow of metal in one or more moulds of a horizontal contin-uous casting device, it is also desirable for a bottom tap hole, adapted to be closed by a closure element, to be provided in the storage vessel and/or in the angular casting metal guide.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a four-line horizontal continuous casting device;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line II-II in Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a vertical part-section through the storage vessel and the horizontal continuous casting mould, on an enlarged scale;
~.24;~67 Fig. 4 is a vertical part-section through the storage vessel and the mould of a modified device; and Fig. 5 is a vertical part-section through the storage vessel and the mould of yet another modified device.
The horizontal continuous casting device shown in Fig. 1 is designed for four casting lines 1 and 2, two of which are located below the axis of symmetry 3 (as shown) and two are located above the said axis of symmetry (not shown). The molten metal, more particularly steel, passes from a casting ladle 4 into a storage vessel 5, although the casting ladle may be used as the storage vessel under certain circumstances, for example in the case of a single line device. Connected to the storage vessel 5 are four horizontal continuous casting mou]ds 6. The storage vessel may be moved in and out of its operative position on a track 7. These movements may also be effected by means of a crane. Extracting machines 8 are located after the moulds 6, as seen in the direction of travel of the line or strand. The molten metal flows from the casting ladle 4 into the ladle gate 9. The location of the bottom tap hole lO is staggered in relation to ladlegate 9.
During the assembly of the continuous casting device, the horizontal continuous casting moulds 6 are aligned with the casting axis 11, for example using laser optics. At this time, the storage vessel 5 is also aligned with the axis 12 of a perforated brick 13 and with an inserted nozzle brick 14 on the casting axis ll. After several charges, or even after the first heat, the storage vessel 5 expands and distorts, resulting in the above-mentioned deviation between axes ll and 12. An adjustable connection 15, to be described in greater detail hereinafter, compensates for these deviations and also provides a seal at the end face 14a of the nozzle brick 14. Located in the vicinity of nozzle brick 14 is a closure element 16 wiiich, if need arises, halts the flow of molten metal in the horizontal continuous casting mould 6.
- 6 - ~2~2~fi7 As shown in Fig. 3, the adjustable connection 15 is arranged on the side 8a of the storage vessel 5 facing the extracting machine 8. In contrast to this, in Figs. 4 and 5 the connection 15 is located on the underside 5a of the storage vessel.
While the device is in operation, the molten metal passes from the casting ladle 4, through an open sliding closure 17, and through a pipe 18, for example, into the storage vessel 5, the sliding closure 17 acting as a control device. Upon completion of pouring, or in the event of an emergency, the molten metal may be removed from the storage vessel through the bottom tap hole 10 into the emergency ladle 19, when closure lOa is open.
The connection 15, adjustable in relation to casting axis 11, is also provided with a concentric sealing surface 20, 21 for a seal on the end face 14a of the nozzle brick 14. The end face 14a is in the form of a separate sealing ring element 22 made of a refractory material. An adjusting element 23 is inserted. The seal, namely the sealing surfaces 21, of sealing ring element 22, and adjusting element 23, are held together by means of screws 24. The mould is secured to the storage vessel 5, to the nozzle brick 14, the sealing surface 21 and the seating surface 26, forming a seal, by means of a clamping ring 25 (Fig. 3).
Each of the examples shown in Figs. 4 and 5 comprises an angular casting metal guide 27 having a vertical leg 27a built up as follows from top to bottom: located at the storage vessel 5 is a concave dish 28 made of appropriate metals. A convex matching plate 29 containing an insert 30 adjustable in height which, in the operative position, co-operates sealingly with telescopic tube 31 for protection against oxidation. The telescopic tube 31 is guided by a cover 32 and also constitutes a bearing. The cover 32 closes off an intermediate contrainer 33. A pouring gate 34 ~242~6~
is suspended universally in the telescopic tube. A
protective gas may, if necessary, be introduced into the casting chamber 35. Venting (not shown) for the chamber 35 is provided for starting up. In Figs. 4 and 5, the adjustable connection 15 is constructed as described for Fig. 3.
The height 36 is governed by the ferrostatic pressure required for the cast product.
In Fig. 5, the casting ladle 4 acts as the storage vessel, which is thus dispensed with. The pipe 18 is fitted sealingly to the bottom 37. The level of the bath 38 (Figs.
4 and 5) may be subject to automatic control.
