Problems to be solved by the invention
However, if the casting rolls are misaligned, molten steel leaks or the quality of the strip is degraded, and therefore, in the twin roll continuous casting apparatus, it is required to firmly support the casting rolls at the correct positions.
Patent document 1 describes a case where an index device for accurately positioning a frame to which a casting roll is attached is provided, but the specific configuration of the index device is not described, and it is considered that even a person of ordinary skill in the art cannot firmly support the casting roll at an accurate position.
Patent document 2 describes a case where a pair of positioning pins are fitted into pin holes provided in a lower surface of a frame, but since a change in the distance dimension between the positioning pins and a gap for fitting the pins are required according to the temperature of the surrounding environment, there is a problem that the diameter of the pin holes needs to be enlarged for the positioning pins, and it is difficult to firmly support the casting rolls at the correct positions by this amount.
In view of the above, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a twin-roll continuous casting apparatus capable of easily replacing a pair of casting rolls and firmly supporting the pair of casting rolls at an accurate position.
Means for solving the problems
A twin-roll continuous casting apparatus according to the present invention for solving the above-described problems includes a pair of casting rolls having a cooling function and rotating in a mutual direction, and a carriage on which the pair of casting rolls are mounted and which is provided so as to be movable on a guide rail extending from a casting position to a casting roll replacement position, the twin-roll continuous casting apparatus including: a first fixing device that fixes the carriage in a horizontal direction at right angles to the axes of the casting rolls by pressing the carriage in the horizontal direction at right angles to the axes of the casting rolls at the casting position; a second fixing device that presses the carriage in the axial direction of the casting roll at the casting position to fix the carriage in the axial direction of the casting roll.
Effects of the invention
According to the present invention, since the pair of casting rolls can be moved from the casting position to the casting roll replacement position in a state where the pair of casting rolls are mounted on the carriage, the pair of casting rolls can be easily replaced. Since the carriage can be fixed in the casting position in the vertical horizontal direction and the axial direction of the casting rolls with respect to the axes of the casting rolls, the pair of casting rolls can be firmly supported at the correct position. With the first fixing device and the second fixing device, even if the size of the carriage changes due to temperature changes during operation, the carriage can be firmly fixed without a gap.

A claw portion 11e having a shape capable of being engaged with a hook 84 of a carriage moving device 80, which will be described later in detail, is provided at the center in the left-right direction on the front end portion 11a side of the middle portion of the upper surface of the carriage main body 11. The carriage body 11 is provided with a through hole 11f penetrating the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion at the center in the left-right direction and the center in the front-rear direction.
In the casting position P1, the drive shafts 105a, 105b are supported on the frame 101 by the support 112. Drive shaft couplings 104a and 104b are provided at the distal ends of the drive shafts 105a and 105 b. When the casting roll carriage 10 is disposed at the casting position P1, the pair of left and right casting rolls 1a and 1b are coupled to the drive shafts 105a and 105b via the drive shaft couplings 104a and 104 b. The casting rolls 1a, 1b are relatively rotated by drive shafts 105a, 105 b.
The twin-roll continuous casting apparatus 100 includes a first (casting roll shaft perpendicular horizontal direction) fixing device 20 for fixing the casting roll carriage 10 in a perpendicular horizontal direction (hereinafter, referred to as casting roll shaft perpendicular horizontal direction) to the axes of the casting rolls 1a and 1b at the casting position P1. The first fixing device 20 includes a first pressing device body 20A and a second pressing device body 20B provided on a first frame body 102a of the casting device frame 102. The first pressing device body 20A and the second pressing device body 20B each include a hydraulic cylinder 21.
The cylinder 21 of the first pressing device body 20A is disposed such that when the carriage body 11 is disposed at the casting position P1 by advancing and retracting the piston rod 21a in the casting roller axis perpendicular horizontal direction by supplying and discharging the hydraulic oil (working fluid) to and from the cylinder 21, the piston rod 21a presses the portions facing the bearing seats 2aa and 2ba in the casting roller axis perpendicular horizontal direction.
The first pressing device body 20A includes a hydraulic oil supply and discharge device 30 that supplies and discharges hydraulic oil to and from the inside of the hydraulic cylinder 21. The hydraulic oil supply and discharge device 30 includes a hydraulic oil supply and discharge passage 31, a solenoid valve 32, and a relief valve 34. The base end portion side and the tip end portion side of the hydraulic cylinder 21 of the first pressing device body 20A are connected to one end portion side of the first and second passages 31a, 31b in the hydraulic oil supply and discharge passage 31, respectively. An electromagnetic valve 32 is provided on the other end side of the first and second passages 31a, 31 b. The solenoid valve 32 is connected to a working oil supply source (not shown). The forward and backward movement of the piston rod 21a is switched by alternately supplying and discharging the hydraulic oil to and from the hydraulic cylinder 21 by the electromagnetic valve 32. One end side of the third passage 31c of the hydraulic oil supply and discharge passage 31 is connected to the first passage 31 a. On the third passage 31c, a relief valve 34 is provided.
The hydraulic cylinder 21 of the second pressing device body 20B is disposed such that the piston rod 21a presses the portions facing the bearing seats 2ab and 2bb in the casting roller axis direction when the piston rod 21a is advanced and retreated in the casting roller axis direction at right angles in the horizontal direction by the supply and discharge of the hydraulic fluid (working fluid) into and from the hydraulic cylinder 21 and the carriage body 11 is disposed at the casting position P1. The second pressing device body 20B includes the same hydraulic oil supply and discharge device as the first pressing device body 20A.
Therefore, the pressing force F1A of the piston rod 21a of the first pressing device body 20A and the pressing force F1B of the piston rod 21a of the second pressing device body 20B are respectively adjusted to predetermined magnitudes. When the pressing force is excessive, the hydraulic oil is discharged through the relief valve 34, and presses the carriage body 11 with an appropriate magnitude (predetermined magnitude). When the excessive pressure of the hydraulic oil is suppressed, another device such as an accumulator may be used.
Side protruding portions 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b protruding laterally outward are provided at the right end portion 11c and the left end portion 11d of the carriage body 11, respectively. The side projections 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b are made of, for example, the same material as the casting roll carriage 10, and are preferably made of steel. When the casting roll carriage 10 is disposed at the casting position P1, the side projections 15a and 16a are disposed at positions facing the piston rod 21a of the first presser main body 20A in the casting roll axis direction at right angles. When the casting roll carriage 10 is disposed at the casting position P1, the side projections 15B and 16B are disposed at positions facing the piston rod 21a of the second presser main body 20B in the casting roll axis direction at right angles. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of advance and retreat of the piston rod 21a of the first pressing device body 20A and the amount of advance and retreat of the piston rod 21a of the second pressing device body 20B.
In addition, the second frame body 102b is provided with pads (first stoppers) 121a and 121 b. The pad 121a is disposed so as to face the side protruding portion 16 a. The pad 121b is disposed so as to face the side protruding portion 16 b. Accordingly, when the casting roll carriage 10 is pressed by the piston rod 21a of the first pressing device body 20A and the piston rod 21a of the second pressing device body 20B, the casting roll carriage 10 can be more accurately disposed at the casting position P1.
The twin-roll continuous casting apparatus 100 includes a second fixing device 40 that fixes the casting roll carriage 10 in the casting roll axial direction at the casting position P1. The second fixing device 40 includes a hydraulic cylinder 41, a connecting member 44, and a second stopper 47. The connection member 44 is fixed to the frame 101 via the shaft body 43 and the bracket 46, and is fixed to the distal end portion of the piston rod 41a of the hydraulic cylinder 41 via the shaft body 42. The hydraulic cylinder 41 is fixed to the frame 101 by a bracket 45. The hydraulic cylinder 41 is connected to a hydraulic oil supply and discharge device (not shown), and the hydraulic oil (hydraulic fluid) is supplied and discharged into the hydraulic cylinder 41 by the hydraulic oil supply and discharge device, whereby the distal end portion of the piston rod 41a is advanced and retreated in the vertical direction. The second fixing device 40 includes the same hydraulic oil supply and discharge device as the first pressing device body 20A. The distal end portion of the piston rod 41a extends upward through the shaft body 43, whereby the connection member 44 rotates with the shaft body 43 as the origin, and the distal end portion 44a provided in the connection member 44 presses the connection member receiving member 17 of the distal end portion 11a of the carriage body 44 disposed at the casting position P1 in the axial direction of the casting roller. When the connecting member 44 rotates, the piston rod 41a and the connecting member 44 are disposed such that the distal end portion 44a contacts the connecting member receiving member 17 of the distal end portion 11a of the carriage body 11.
The second stopper 47 is provided on the frame 101. The second stopper 47 is disposed such that the distal end portion 47a contacts the second stopper receiving member 18 provided in the recessed portion 11ba of the carriage body 11 when the casting roll carriage 10 is disposed at the casting position P1 and pressed by the connecting member 44. Thus, by pressing the carriage body 11 with the connecting member 44, the casting roll carriage 10 is fixed at the casting position P1 and in the casting roll axial direction by the connecting member 44 and the second stopper 47.
Then, the pressing force F2 of the connecting member 44 of the piston rod 41a of the second fixing device 40 is adjusted to a predetermined magnitude. When the pressing force is excessive, the hydraulic oil is discharged through the safety valve of the hydraulic oil supply and discharge device provided in the second fixing device 40, and the carriage body 11 is pressed with an appropriate magnitude (predetermined magnitude).
The casting roll carriage changer 50 includes a support table 52, and the support table 52 includes carriage mounting portions 52a and 52b on which two casting roll carriages can be mounted in parallel. The support table 52 is provided so as to be movable along the guide rails 51a and 51b on the table 51 provided at the carriage 101C of the casting roll replacement position P3. The table 51 is formed in a shape extending in a perpendicular horizontal direction with respect to the extending direction of the guide rails 103 and 104. Wheels 53a, 53b, and 53c that run on the guide rails 51a and 51b are provided on the lower portion of the support table 52. A base end side of the actuator 54 for moving the side shifter is fixed to an upper projecting member 57 fixed to an end of the table 51 via a bracket 56. The tip end portion of the shaft body 54a, which advances and retracts by the side shifter operation actuator 54, is fixed to the support base 52 via a bracket 55. That is, the support table 52 of the casting roll carriage changer 50 is movable in the direction a2, and is moved at a position where one carriage-mounted part 52a is positioned at the casting roll carriage change position P3B and the casting roll carriage 10 is movable between the one carriage-mounted part 52a and the casting position P1 via the intermediate position P2, and at a position where the other carriage-mounted part 52b is positioned at the casting roll carriage change position P3B and the casting roll carriage 10 is movable between the other carriage-mounted part 52b and the casting position P1 via the intermediate position P2. When the other carriage-mounted part 52b is positioned at the casting roll carriage replacement position P3B, the one carriage-mounted part 52a is positioned at the new casting roll carriage mounting position P3A. When one carriage-mounted part 52a is positioned at the casting roll carriage replacement position P3B, the other carriage-mounted part 52b is positioned at the casting roll carriage retreat position P3C. That is, in the casting roll replacement position P3, the new casting roll carriage mounting position P3A, the casting roll carriage replacement position P3B, and the casting roll carriage retreat position P3C are adjacent in the stated order.
The table 51, the guide rails 51a, 51b, the wheels 53a, 53b, 53c, the upward protruding member 57, the bracket 56, the side shifter operating actuator 54, the shaft body 54a, the bracket 55, and the like constitute a support table moving device.
The carriage moving device 80 has a carriage moving device main body 81, four wheels 82a, 82b, 83a, 83b, and a hook 84. The four wheels 82a, 82b, 83a, 83b are provided on the carriage moving device main body 81 so as to be capable of running on the guide rails 103, 104. The hook 84 is provided on the carriage moving device main body 81 and is shaped to be engageable with the claw portion 11e of the casting roll carriage 10. The wheels 82a, 82b, 83a, and 83b of the carriage moving device 80 are rotationally driven by a driving device (not shown) such as a motor.
The carriage moving device 80 can move on the guide rails 103 and 104 by striding over the intermediate position P2, the casting roll replacement position P3, and the carriage moving device retreat position P4. Therefore, when the claw portion 11e of the casting roll carriage 10 is caught by the hook 84 of the carriage moving device 80, the casting roll carriage 10 can move in the direction a1, and move to the casting position P1, the intermediate position P2, and the casting roll replacement position P3.
Here, the procedure of replacing the casting rolls in the twin roll continuous casting apparatus 100 will be described below. In the casting roll carriage changer 50, the support carriage 52 is disposed at the casting roll carriage changing position P3B at which the other carriage carrying portion 52b is adjacent to the casting position P1 via the intermediate position P2, the casting roll carriage (new casting roll carriage) 10C1 is mounted on the one carriage carrying portion 52a, and the casting rolls 1a and 1b of new products are mounted on the casting roll carriage (new casting roll carriage) 10C 1.
First, the fixing of the casting roll carriage 10 by the first fixing device 20 is released, and the fixing of the casting roll carriage 10 by the second fixing device 40 is released. The hydraulic fluid is supplied to and discharged from the first pressing device body 20A to the hydraulic cylinder 21 and from the second pressing device body 20B to the hydraulic cylinder 21, and the piston rods 21a, 21a of the respective device bodies 20A, 20B are contracted. Thereby, the fixing of the casting roll carriage 10 in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the casting roll axis is released. Further, the hydraulic oil is supplied to and discharged from the hydraulic cylinder 41 of the second fixing device 40, so that the piston rod 41a is contracted, and the connecting member 44 is rotated. Thereby, the fixing of the casting roll carriage 10 in the axial direction of the casting roll is released.
Next, the casting roll carriage (casting roll carriage to be replaced) 10 on which the casting rolls 1a and 1b to be replaced are mounted is moved from the casting position P1 to the casting roll replacement position P3 by the carriage moving device 80. Thus, the replacement-target casting roll carriage 10 is disposed on the other carriage-mounting portion 52b of the support carriages 52 of the casting roll carriage replacement device 50. At this time, the connection between the drive shafts 105a and 105b and the cooling water pipe 107 is automatically released.
Next, the new casting roll carriage 10C1 mounted on one carriage mounting portion 52a moves on the support table 52 so as to be disposed at the casting roll carriage replacement position P3B. That is, the guide rails 103C1, 104C1 on one carriage mounting portion 52a of the support base 52 move on the support base 52 so as to be linear with the second guide rail bodies 103B, 104B at the intermediate position P2 and the fourth guide rail bodies 103D, 104D at the transfer device retreat position P4. At this time, the casting roll carriage 10 to be replaced mounted on the other carriage mounting portion 52b of the support table 52 is positioned at the casting roll carriage retreat position P3C.
