Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pouring tube comprising a tubular element having at an upper end, a perfectly flat upper face intended to slide in a device for feeding and changing the tube or a regulating device along the fixed lower face of a reference or movable refractory plate of a drawer plate, the edge of the upper face and its junction with the upper end of the tubular element being reinforced by a collar and by a metal protective casing .
- Document WO 89/02800 discloses a pouring tube for a sliding closure device formed from two separate parts generally made of different refractory ceramic materials.
- the first part is a sliding tube plate made of alumina or magnesia, having a perfectly flat upper face intended to slide along a sliding plane ent
- the second part is a cylindrical tubular element. provided with a flange integral with the tubular element intended to be immersed in a mold.
- the plate is attached to the tubular element by juxtaposition.
- the clamping face of the seal between the insert plate and the flange is flat or interlocking. It is generally a simple nesting.
- the flange and an upper part of the tubular element are covered with a metal protective casing, while the attached plate and the flank of the flange are enclosed in a hoop ring.
- This embodiment in two separate parts, one of which is a plate, makes it possible to machine the sliding surface by grinding. A perfectly smooth sliding surface minimizes metal infiltration into the sliding plane.
- This composite tube lies in the fact that the production of two flat surfaces is easier than that of an annular projection and a complementary groove.
- Document FR-A-2241359 also discloses a submerged pouring tube having a channel of elliptical section, the wall of which has an increased thickness at the level of the major axis. This additional thickness is constant over the entire length of the pouring tube.
- the vulnerable part of the known pouring tubes is located at the level of the collar. This is where the mechanical reaction torque is exerted when changing the tube.
- the plunging part of the tube moved parallel to itself from the standby position to the service position is in fact held back by the viscosity of the molten metal bath in the mold.
- the present invention aims to solve this problem and provides a tube as described in the first paragraph of this specification.
- the solution according to the invention consists in reinforcing the thickness of the tube not over the entire periphery and the entire length of the tubular element, but only in the most stressed places.
- the tube has at the collar and more particularly in the wall portions directed in the direction of movement of the tube, an excess thickness of ceramic material relative to the thickness of material at another cross section of the tubular element.
- the collar is conical and of oblong cross section.
- the collar is flush with the front and rear edges of the upper face, while it is set back from the lateral edges of said upper face. Therefore, the side flanges are free and can bear on the mechanical tube changing device.
- the oblong shape of the collar in the direction of movement contributes to strengthening its mechanical resistance to the thrust exerted by the rod when changing the pouring tube.
- the oblong section is used to increase the moment of inertia and thereby decrease the risk of rupture.
- the tubular element comprises, integral with it, an anchoring flange intended to fix an added plate, made of a refractory material different from the tubular element and subjected to a rectification in order to be better adapted to slide against the plate reference
- the reinforcing collar is integral with said anchoring flange.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section view of a pouring tube according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a plan view of a refractory plate attached to the tube
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the pouring tube shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 4 is a bottom view of the pouring tube shown in Figures 1 and 3;
- Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of a second embodiment of a pouring tube according to the invention.
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the tube shown in FIG. 5.
- a pouring tube 1 is formed of a tubular element 2 having an internal central channel 3 of constant section and of an attached plate 4 of rectangular section.
- the tubular element 2 is generally made of a refractory material resistant to erosion.
- the body of the tubular element 2 may include an insert 5 of zirconium oxide intended to protect at least part of the external wall of the tube from the combined erosive action of steel and air at the location of the steel level in the mold.
- the lower end of the tubular element 2 has lateral orifices 6, 7 which open in the direction of movement of the tube in a diametrically opposite manner. These orifices are intended to deflect the pouring jet and attenuate the erosive action of the eddies. (Fig.l)
- the upper end of the tubular element 2 carries a perfectly flat upper face forming an integral part of the tubular element 2.
- the edge of the upper face and its junction with the upper end of the tubular element 2 of the tube are reinforced. by a collar 9 having on the side of the portions of walls directed in the direction of movement of the tube 1, an excess thickness of ceramic material, so as to have an oblong section. (Fig. 4)
- the upper end of the tubular element has the same composition as the tubular element 2 and forms therewith the same single piece or entity. It can have either a simple interlocking surface (Fig.l and 3), or a flat surface (Fig.5 and 6).
- the first form is suitable for receiving an added plate 4.
- the upper face of the plate is strictly flat to ensure the tightness of the tube 1 against the sliding plane of the plate. reference not shown, so as to avoid any aspiration of ambient atmospheric air. This helps to prevent the formation of various oxides and bubbles in the metal mass, significantly affecting the quality of the final product.
- the present invention proposes to reinforce the thickness of the pouring tube only in the most stressed places, in the front and rear wall portions of the collar 9.
- the collar 9 is preferably conical and has an oblong section.
- the collar 9 and at least the upper part of the tubular element 2 are optionally covered by a metal protective casing 10.
- This metal casing 10 follows the shape of the collar 9. It advantageously covers the relatively hard free lateral edges of the upper part of the tube. These lateral edges serve as a sliding shoe for the pouring tube in the feeding and tube changing device. Without the presence of the envelope, the side edges, due to the hardness of the ceramic material, would scratch the guide rails and cause early wear.
- the method of assembling the added plate 4 on the fixing flange 8 does not involve any anchoring part.
- the fixing flange 8 and the attached plate 4 are simply enclosed in a protective metal housing 11.
- the collar 9 preferably has a conical shape. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 6, the collar 9 is flush with the front and rear edges of the upper face diametrically opposed by relative to the direction of movement of the pouring tube, when changing the tube.
- the lateral edges of the added plate are not affected by these extra thicknesses and can bear on the feeding and tube changing device, in particular on guide rails arranged in the vicinity of a pouring tube and intended to bring a tube from a vertical standby position next to a tube in the pouring position, towards said casting position.
