Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for heating by magnetic induction of flat rectangular metal products running in the direction of their length, of the type comprising at least one inductor capable of producing a magnetic field of constant intensity, but adjustable, oriented substantially perpendicular to a large face of the metal product to be heated, said inductor being rotatably mounted about an axis perpendicular to said large face of the metal product and comprising at least two magnetic poles having polar surfaces oriented towards said large face are parallel to these, and scanning an annular area when the inductor rotates.
- the magnetic poles can be formed by permanent magnets, electromagnets or a combination of permanent magnets and electromagnets.
- the inductor (s) can be placed outside a tunnel made of refractory material and permeable to the magnetic field, inside which pass the metallic products to be heated.
- the present invention therefore aims to solve this problem by providing an improved device for magnetic induction heating to improve the uniformity of the heating in the transverse direction of the metal products running in the direction of their length, and this whatever the width of metal products within a given width range.
- the magnetic induction heating device is characterized in that the pole surface of each pole has the shape of a curvilinear triangle having a vertex directed towards the axis of rotation of the inductor, two concave sides which are symmetrical with respect to a straight line passing through said vertex and perpendicular to said axis, and a convex side in an arc centered on said axis and whose radius of curvature is substantially equal to the outside radius of the annular zone swept by polar surfaces of the poles.
- the conventional magnetic induction heating device which is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 and to which the present invention can be applied comprises, for example, two inductors 1 and 2 arranged respectively above and below the metal product 3 to be heated, for example a slab, facing the large faces of the slab 3, the latter being driven by a continuous movement in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the figure, that is to say in the direction of its length.
- each of the two inductors comprises several magnetic poles, for example two magnetic poles 4.
- the poles 4 can be constituted by permanent magnets, by wound poles whose windings are supplied with direct current (electromagnet), or by permanent magnets surrounded by windings which can be supplied with direct current.
- the intensity of the direct current can be adjusted in a known manner in order to adjust the intensity of the magnetic field produced by the magnets and, consequently, the intensity of the heating produced by the eddy currents induced in the metallic product 3 to be heated.
- the poles 4 have a circular section (this shape corresponds to a maximum magnetic flux for a given length of conductor and therefore for given Joule losses in the case of wound poles).
- At least one of the inductors 1 and 2 is rotated about the vertical axis z by known means not shown in Figure 1, the other inductor can be rotated synchronously either by the same means of drive, or by the magnetic field produced by the first inductor.
- the speed of rotation of the inductors 1 and 2 is usually significantly greater than the speed of advance of the metal product 3.
- the pole surfaces of the poles 4 which are located opposite the large faces of the metal product 3 scan an annular zone 5 as shown in FIG. 2. This zone 5 roughly corresponds to the zone of action of the inductors on the metal product 3 to be heated.
- the width of the metal product 3 to be heated does not allow homogeneous heating to be obtained over the entire width of the product 3 while it is advancing.
- a heating device the dimensions of which are such that the outside diameter of its annular action zone 5 is significantly greater than the maximum width of the metallic products. 3 to be heated, so as to operate in the middle part of the heating profile C. It is therefore necessary to use heating devices which are large in relation to the width of the metal products 3 to be heated. Under these conditions, it will be noted that the magnetic flux produced by the inductors is not fully used for heating, since it does not act on the metal product 3 to be heated when, during their rotation, the magnetic poles are found beyond the longitudinal sides of product 3, hence a lower yield.
- the present invention makes it possible to remedy this by providing a heating device having dimensions such that the diameter of its area of action is only very slightly greater than the maximum width of the moving metal products to be heated, and making it possible to heat the said areas. substantially homogeneously produced over their entire width with good yield.
- this result can be obtained by using one or two inductors arranged like those of FIG. 1, but whose magnetic poles, constituted for example by electromagnets, have polar surfaces in the shape of a curvilinear triangle.
- FIG. 3 shows by way of example, in front view, an inductor according to the present invention comprising four magnetic poles 4 of identical shapes and of alternating polarities.
- Each magnetic pole 4 may comprise a magnetic core 6, for example of circular cross section, around which is arranged an excitation winding (not shown) supplied with direct current.
- Each core 6 is provided with a pole shoe or pole piece 7 which is an integral part of the core 6 or which is fixed to the end of the core which is adjacent to the metal product to be heated.
- Each pole shoe 7 has a flat pole surface parallel to one of the large faces of the metal product to be heated.
- each bloom 7 has the shape of a curvilinear triangle which has a vertex 8 directed towards the axis of rotation z of the inductor, two concave sides 9 and 10, which are symmetrical with respect to a straight line passing through the apex 8 and perpendicular to the z axis, and a convex side 11 in an arc of a circle centered on the z axis and whose radius of curvature is substantially equal to the outside radius R of the annular zone 6 swept by the polar surfaces.
- equation (1) The solution of equations (5) and (6) is provided by equation (1). Indeed, taking into account equations (1) and (3), equation (5) can be written: from where: from where: which gives E m independent of d.
- the variation in the time of the magnetic field B seen by the point P, of polar coordinates r, a (figures 3 and 5) during the rotation of the inductor can be represented by a succession of slots alternately positive and negative as shown in the figure 6.
- Each slot corresponds to the passage of a pole 4 in front of the point P and has a width which corresponds to the length of the polar arc 8 (figure 3) of each pole 4 at the distance r at which the point P is located
- This waveform of the magnetic field B seen by the point P can be decompensated in Fournier series and expressed by the relation:
- Equation (11) Equation (11) then becomes: which can still be written: with:
- each of the pole shoes 7 the shape of a curvilinear triangle whose concave sides 9 and 10 are arcs of a circle having a profile which approaches the determined ideal profile. as described above, and the convex side 11 of which is an arc of a circle having a radius of curvature substantially equal to the outside radius of the annular zone swept by the poles 4, this outside radius itself being slightly larger than the half the maximum width of metal products to be heated.
- each polar surface in the shape of a curvilinear triangle is preferably symmetrical with respect to the straight line passing through its apex 8 and through the center O of the rotating inductor, in order to obtain better balancing of the rotating masses.
- the apex 8 of each curvilinear triangle is preferably truncated to avoid the leakage of magnetic flux between the poles 4 of opposite polarities.
