Definitions
- the invention relates to a CSP continuous casting machine for the continuous production of thin slabs of steel, with a funnel-shaped CSP mold designed for stress-free solidification of the cast strand, the outlet opening of which is assigned a pair of pinch rollers, the pinch rollers having bearings that can be adjusted in a horizontal plane by means of hydraulic adjusting devices, and squeeze the frozen shells of the cast strand together.
- a CSP casting machine for continuous hot strip production is described in a public publication by the applicant entitled "Nucor Steel CSP Plant in Crawfordsville", No: 2500/1/92 LD.
- thin slabs with a thickness of 40 or 50 mm and a width of 900 to 1350 mm are continuously cast and rolled into hot strip in the subsequent rolling mill.
- the basic structure of the CSP casting machine corresponds to that of a conventional continuous casting plant. Due to the reduced casting thickness, the strand guide is shorter and much smaller.
- Liquid steel is poured into the mold via a shadow pipe, an intermediate container and an immersion pipe.
- the upper part of the mold is funnel-shaped to accommodate the dip tube and to guide the liquid steel into the intended cross section of the thin slab.
- the level in the mold is automatically regulated during the casting process. Thanks to the precise guidance and adapted stroke frequency of the mold lifting table, thin slabs with a high surface quality are produced with the addition of casting powders.
- a pair of squeeze rollers are arranged immediately downstream of the mold outlet. These have bearings that can be adjusted in a horizontal plane by means of hydraulic adjusting devices and squeeze the solidified shells of the cast strand onto one another. In this way, they prevent the intended cross-section of the thin slab from being deformed and liquid steel from breaking out of the not yet solidified core of the resulting thin slab.
- Both the width of the mold and the pinch gap between the pinch rollers can be variably adjusted from the control panel during the casting process. It is extremely important that the exit gap of the mold and the pinch gap of the pinch rollers coincide with one another without offset.
- this exact setting required a high degree of control technology devices because the pinch rollers with their bearings were guided in horizontal slide guides and were delivered by hydraulic actuating devices that act from the outside.
- this design required a comparatively high quality of the mechanical guide elements in order to set the pinch roller gap extremely precisely in a congruent position to the outlet gap of the mold.
- these guides were prone to failure and required maintenance due to the accumulation of contamination by casting powder, dust and steel deposits due to occasional outbreaks.
- the invention has for its object to provide an improved and simplified design of the pinch roller assembly including its bearings and hydraulic actuators, through which the existing difficulties are overcome and a problem-free congruent assignment of pinch roller gap and outlet opening of the mold can be realized with simple means.
- Figure 1 shows the essential elements of a CSP continuous casting machine.
- Liquid steel is poured from a ladle (not shown) through a spout (43) into an intermediate container (44) up to a predetermined bath level and from there via a level (see Fig. 2, number 5) regulating the mold (1)
- Closure system (45) and the dip tube (46) in constant flow into the mold (1).
- the hot strand (2) is formed in a known manner and emerges from the mouthpiece (see FIG. 2, number 6) of the mold (1) with a solidified but still plastically deformable shell and a liquid core.
- the hot strand is passed through the nip of the nip rollers (10, 11).
- the strand (2) Due to the simultaneous intensive cooling, a comparatively rapid solidification of the cast strand (2) is brought about due to the small thickness.
- the strand (2) is guided through the press rollers (47) arranged below the pinch rollers (10, 11) and the cross-sectional shape of these is made more uniform at temperatures just below the solidification point.
- the strand guide (48) underneath is deflected from the vertical casting direction into the horizontal rolling plane.
- FIGS. The arrangement of the pinch rollers (10, 11) and their bearings (14, 15) in the bearing housings (17, 18) is shown in FIGS. From this it can be seen that the bearings (14) and (15) of the pinch rollers (10) and (11) on cross members (25) and (26) two with lateral legs (23) and (24) U-shaped trained frame parts (20) or (21) are arranged.
- the legs (23) and (24) are suspended on both sides of the mold (1) in self-aligning bearings (40/40) and (41/41; 42/42), the hydraulic adjusting devices (30) and (31 ) are arranged between the cross members (25) and (26) and are connected to them in an articulated manner, as can be clearly seen from the top view in FIG. 3.
- FIG. 2 shows a hint of the liquid steel level (5) in the mold (1) and the arrangement of the dip tube (4) and the warm strand (2) emerging from the outlet opening (6).
- FIG. 4 it is shown that a pair of legs (23) or (24) of a U-shaped frame part (20) or (21) each have two self-aligning bearings (41/41) or (42 / 42) are assigned. These Due to the number of four self-aligning bearings (41/41; 42/42), arrangement requires a little more effort, but on the other hand the crossbeams (25, 26) can each be shortened by the size of the width of one leg (23, 24).
- An equivalent alternative design provides that two pairs of legs (23/23) and (24/24) of the two cross members (25) and (26) are assigned a pair of self-aligning bearings (40/40) which accommodate these is. Such an assignment is shown in Figures 2 and 3 in side view and top view. Both alternative arrangements are indicated purely schematically in FIG. FIG. 2 also shows that the self-aligning bearings (40) are arranged at the level (5) laterally next to the mold (1) on the mold lifting table (3).
- FIG. 4 A very useful embodiment of the crossbeams (25) or (26) is shown in section in FIG. They are horizontal beams designed as thick-walled tubes. This design advantageously combines a maximum level of resistance to deflection with a comparatively low construction weight.
- Fig. 4 it is also shown that the bearing housings (17) or (18) of the pinch roller bearings with the pinch rollers (10) or (11) set in the operating position are arranged on the cross members (25) or (26) in such a way that span them with these horizontal planes (xx).
- the arrangement of the pinch roller bearings (14) and (15) can be clearly seen from the top view in FIG. 3.
