Abstract

A device for continuously casting metals, especially steel, consists of multipleconsecutive segments ( 1 ) which each form the strand guide for casting strands of different widths ( 4 ), with roller pairs ( 2 ). The rollers are rotationally mounted on segment frames ( 5; 6 ), these segment frames ( 5; 6 ) each being braced with strand guide frames ( 10 ) on both sides. The aim of the invention is to reduce profile increases in the cross-section of the casting strand ( 4 d) in the residual solidification area ( 4 b), by providing a power mechanism ( 13 ) at least on the fixed side of the segment frame ( 5 ) of a segment ( 1 ), between the segment frame ( 5 ) and a transversal member ( 11 ) connecting the strand guide frames ( 10 ) on the two sides. Said power mechanism is situated approximately on the middle strand axis. The power transmission element ( 13 a) of the power mechanism acts upon the segment frame ( 5 ), while its base ( 13 b) is supported on the transversal member ( 11 ).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Stranggießen von Metallen, insbesondere von Stahl, mit mehreren, aufeinanderfolgenden Segmenten, die jeweils mittels Rollenpaaren aus oberen und unteren Rollen die Strangführung für unterschiedlich breite Gießstränge bilden.The invention relates to an apparatus for the continuous casting of metals, in particular of steel, with a plurality of successive segments, each of which form the strand guide for different width casting strands by means of roller pairs of upper and lower rollers.

Ein gegossenes Brammenprofil ist im wesentlichen ein Abbild der Rollenspaltgeometrie im Bereich der Resterstarrung des Gießstranges. Unterschiedliche Strangbreiten und Gießgeschwindigkeiten führen zu unterschiedlichen Rollendurchbiegungen und zu unterschiedlichen Durchbiegungen der Traversen des Segmentrahmens und damit zu einer veränderlichen Profilüberhöhung.A cast slab profile is essentially an image of the roll gap geometry in the region of the Resterstarrung the cast strand. Different strand widths and casting speeds lead to different roll deflections and to different deflections of the trusses of the segment frame and thus to a variable profile cant.

Im Bereich der Soft-Reduktions-Strecke werden die Rollendurchbiegung und die Traversendurchbiegung durch die Lage der Sumpfspitze, durch die eingestellte Dickenreduzierung und durch die Stahlgüte bestimmt. Hinzu kommt der Fall, dass bei Brammenanlagen mit Längsteileinrichtung (einfache oder mehrfache Längsteilung) dem Walzwerk bedingt durch die Profilüberhöhung Brammen mit wechselnden Keilformen zugeführt werden, was wiederum dort zu Problemen bei geringen Endwalzdicken führt.In the area of the soft reduction section, the roll deflection and the traverse deflection are determined by the position of the sump tip, by the set thickness reduction and by the steel grade. In addition, there is the case that in slabs with slitting device (single or multiple longitudinal division) are supplied to the rolling mill due to the profile elevation slabs with alternating wedge shapes, which in turn leads to problems at low Endwalzdicken there.

Die europäische Patentanmeldung EP 1 043 095 A1 offenbart eine Vorrichtung zum Stranggießen von Metallen mit einer Strangführung. Diese umfasst mehrere aufeinander folgende Segmente, die jeweils Rollenpaare aus oberen und unteren Rollen für unterschiedlich breite Gießstränge aufweisen. Die Strangführung umfasst beidseitige Strangführungsrahmen, die über Segmenttraversen und zusätzlich eine Quertraverse miteinander verbunden sind. Die Segmentrollen sind an den Segmenttraversen drehgelagert. Zumindest auf der Festseite des Segmentrahmens ist zwischen dem Segmentrahmen und der Quertraverse ein etwa auf der Strangmittenachse liegendes Kraftglied vorgesehen, dessen Kraftübertragungselement an dem Segmentrahmen angreift und dessen Aufnahme an der Quertraverse abgestützt ist.European patent application EP 1 043 095 A1 discloses an apparatus for continuously casting metals with a strand guide. This comprises a plurality of successive segments, each having roller pairs of upper and lower rollers for different width casting strands. The strand guide comprises double-sided strand guide frames, which are connected to each other via segment cross members and a cross-beam. The segment rollers are rotatably mounted on the segment cross members. At least on the fixed side of the segment frame is between the segment frame and the crossbeam an approximately lying on the strand center axis force member provided, the force transmission element engages the segment frame and the receptacle is supported on the crosspiece.

Die europäische Patentanmeldung EP 0 941 787 A1 offenbart eine Stranggießanlage, bei der die oberen und die unteren Rollen der Strangführung von einem an einer Quertraverse abgestützten hydraulischen Zylinder beeinflussbar sind. Mit Hilfe des hydraulischen Zylinders kann die Bombierung dieser Rollen eingestellt werden. Allerdings wird dort einem Paar Führungsrollen, die einen Rollenspalt bilden, eine Einstelleinrichtung zum Einstellen einer Bombierung des Rollenspaltes zugeordnet.European Patent Application EP 0 941 787 A1 discloses a continuous casting plant in which the upper and lower rolls of the strand guide can be influenced by a hydraulic cylinder supported on a crossbeam. With the help of the hydraulic cylinder, the crowning of these rollers can be adjusted. However, there is assigned to a pair of guide rollers forming a roller gap, an adjustment for setting a crowning of the roller gap.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine alternative Vorrichtung zum Stranggießen von Metallen bereitzustellen, welche ebenfalls die Einstellung der Bombierung ermöglicht, und eine derartige veränderliche Profilüberhöhungen im Bereich der Enderstarrung vermindern, so dass die geschilderten Folgen beim späteren Walzen nicht auftreten können.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide an alternative device for continuous casting of metals, which also allows the adjustment of the crowning, and reduce such variable profile increases in the field of Enderstarrung, so that the described consequences in subsequent rolling not may occur.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des neuen Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the subject matter of the new patent claim 1.

Den Segmenten ist eine Längsteileinrichtung nachgeordnet. Die Einstellung der Profilüberhöhung gerade vor der Längsteileinrichtung gestattet eine formgenaue Beeinflussung, so dass die für das Walzen erforderliche Profilüberhöhung gerade an dieser Stelle fixiert wird.The segments are followed by a slitting device. The setting of the profile cant just before the slitting device allows a dimensionally accurate influence, so that the required for rolling profile cant is just fixed at this point.

Dabei kann das Kraftglied aus einem einseitig beaufschlagbaren Plunger bestehen.In this case, the force member may consist of a plunger which can be acted upon on one side.

Eine andere Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass das Kraftglied aus einer zweiseitig beaufschlagbaren, hydraulischen Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit besteht.Another embodiment provides that the force member consists of a two-sided acted upon, hydraulic piston-cylinder unit.

Nach weiteren Merkmalen wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kraft des Kraftgliedes in Abhängigkeit der Segmentbelastung durch den Gießstrang regelbar ist. Dadurch kann eine Überlastung des Segmentrahmens vermieden werden.According to further features, it is proposed that the force of the force member can be regulated as a function of the segment loading by the cast strand. As a result, an overload of the segment frame can be avoided.

Diese Regelung kann auch dergestalt erfolgen, dass die Kraft des Kraftgliedes in Abhängigkeit von der Segmentbelastung entgegen einer zu erwartenden Profilüberhöhung des Gießstrangquerschnitts auf die Stützrollen- und Traversendurchbiegung übertragbar ist.This regulation can also take place in such a way that the force of the force member can be transferred to the support roll and traverse deflection as a function of the segment load, contrary to an expected profile cant of the cast strand cross section.

Gegebenenfalls kann auch vorteilhaft sein, dass die Kraft des Kraftgliedes auf der Losseite des Segmentes einstellbar ist. Dadurch werden die gleichen oder ähnliche Vorteile erreicht, die zu der Anordnung des Kraftgliedes auf der Festseite des Segmentes beschrieben sind.Optionally, it may also be advantageous for the force of the force member to be adjustable on the loose side of the segment. Thereby, the same or similar advantages are achieved, which are described to the arrangement of the force member on the fixed side of the segment.

Eine andere Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Grundgedankens besteht darin, dass die Kraft des Kraftgliedes zugleich auf der Festseite und auf der Losseite von zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Segmentrahmen einstellbar ist.Another application of the basic idea according to the invention is that the force of the force member is adjustable at the same time on the fixed side and on the loose side of two opposing segment frames.

Weiterhin kann es vorteilhaft sein, dass jedem Segmentrahmen mehrere Kraftglieder zugeordnet sind. Dadurch kann der Verlauf der Biegelinie für eine Traverse eingestellt werden.Furthermore, it may be advantageous for each segment frame to have a plurality of force elements associated therewith. As a result, the course of the bending line can be set for a traverse.

Eine besondere Ausgestaltung besteht femer darin, dass die Verformungs-Kennlinien eines Segmentes in Tabellen in einem Rechner hinterlegt sind und dass die Kraft des Kraftgliedes aus den hinterlegten Werten entsprechend der Segmentbelastung abrufbar sind. Dadurch können leicht die aus der Erfahrung und aufgrund der Konstruktions-Abmessungen gesammelten Werte für die zweckmäßige Biegelinie eingesetzt werden.A special embodiment further consists in the fact that the deformation characteristics of a segment are stored in tables in a computer and that the force of the force member from the stored values corresponding to the segment load can be retrieved. This makes it easy to use the values collected from experience and construction dimensions for the proper bendline.

In der einzigen Figur der Zeichnung ist ein Stützrollensegment in Vorderansicht, d.h. senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung des Gießstranges, dargestellt, die nachfolgend näher erläutert wird.In the single figure of the drawing, a support roller segment in front view, that is shown perpendicular to the direction of movement of the cast strand, which will be explained in more detail below.

Die Vorrichtung zum Stranggießen von Metallen, insbesondere von Stahl, besteht aus mehreren, in der Strangader aufeinanderfolgenden Segmenten 1, in denen jeweils mittels Rollenpaaren 2, die aus geteilten Rollen 3 bestehen können und aus oberen und unteren Rollen, die Strangführung für den Gießstrang 4 darstellen. Der Gießstrang 4 kann eine unterschiedliche Breite 4a aufweisen. Der Gießstrang 4 weist, um den Ort der Lage des Segmentes 1 anzugeben, im Bereich der Resterstarrung 4b eine Strangschale 4c auf.. Die Rollenpaare 2 sind an Segmentrahmen 5, 6 drehgelagert, wobei ein Segmentrahmen 5 als Festseite und ein Segmentrahmen 6 als Losseite wirken. Beide Segmentrahmen 5 und 6 sind mittels Zugzylindern 7 gegeneinander anstellbar, wodurch der Dicke 8 des Gießstranges 4 entsprochen wird. Das aus den Segmentrahmen 5 und 6 und aus den Zugzylindern 7 bestehende Segment 1 ist mittels näher nicht dargestellten Spannzylindern 9 auf einem beidseitigen Strangführungsrahmen 10 eingespannt.The apparatus for continuous casting of metals, in particular of steel, consists of a plurality of successive segments in the strand 1, in each of which by means of pairs of rollers 2, which may consist of divided rollers 3 and upper and lower rollers, represent the strand guide for the casting strand 4 , The casting strand 4 may have a different width 4a. The cast strand 4 has, to indicate the location of the position of the segment 1, in the region of Resterstarrung 4b a strand shell 4c on .. The pairs of rollers 2 are rotatably mounted on segment frame 5, 6, wherein a segment frame 5 act as a fixed side and a segment frame 6 as the lot side , Both segment frames 5 and 6 are adjustable by means of pull cylinders 7 against each other, whereby the thickness 8 of the cast strand 4 is met. The consisting of the segment frame 5 and 6 and the pull cylinders 7 segment 1 is clamped by means not shown clamping cylinders 9 on a double-sided strand guide frame 10.

Zumindest auf der Festseite des Segmentrahmens 5 des Segmentes 1 ist zwischen dem Segmentrahmen 5 und einer ggfs. zusätzlichen Quertraverse 11, die die beidseitigen Strangführungsrahmen 10 verbindet, zumindest ein etwa auf der Strangmittenachse 12 liegendes Kraftglied 13 vorgesehen, dessen Kraftübertragungs-Element 13a an dem Segmentrahmen 5 angreift und dessen Aufnahme 13b an der Quertraverse 11 abgestützt ist. Das Segment 1 mit der Quertraverse 11 ist zumindest im Bereich der Resterstarrung 4b vorgesehen. Dabei kann das Kraftglied 13 aus einem einseitig beaufschlagbaren Plunger 14 bestehen oder aus einem zweiseitig beaufschlagbaren, hydraulischen Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 15.At least on the fixed side of the segment frame 5 of the segment 1 is between the segment frame 5 and a possibly. Additional crossbar 11 which connects the two-sided strand guide frame 10, at least one approximately on the strand center axis 12 lying force member 13 is provided, the force transmission element 13a on the segment frame 5 engages and the receptacle 13b is supported on the cross-beam 11. The segment 1 with the crossbeam 11 is provided at least in the region of the Resterstarrung 4b. In this case, the force member 13 may consist of a plunger 14 which can be acted upon on one side or of a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit 15 which can be acted upon on both sides.

Die Kraft des Kraftgliedes 13 ist in Abhängigkeit der Segmentbelastung durch den Gießstrang 4 regelbar. Die Kraft des Kraftgliedes 13 kann auch auf der Losseite 6 des Segmentes 1 einstellbar gemacht werden. In besonderen Fällen kann es vorteilhaft sein, dass die Kraft des Kraftgliedes 13 zugleich auf der Festseite 5 und auf der Losseite 6 von zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Segmentrahmen 5; 6 eingestellt wird.The force of the force member 13 is adjustable in dependence of the segment load by the casting strand 4. The force of the force member 13 can also be made adjustable on the loose side 6 of the segment 1. In special cases, it may be advantageous that the force of the force member 13 at the same time on the Fixed side 5 and on the lot side 6 of two opposite segment frame 5; 6 is set.

Jedem Segmentrahmen 5, 6 können jeweils mehrere Kraftglieder 13 zugeordnet werden.Each segment frame 5, 6 can each be assigned a plurality of force members 13.

Auf das Segment 1 mit der Quertraverse 11 und dem Kraftglied 13 folgt eine Längsteileinrichtung üblicher Bauart.On the segment 1 with the cross-beam 11 and the force member 13 is followed by a longitudinal sub-device of conventional design.

Die Verformungskennlinie 19 eines Segmentes 1 ist in Tabellen in einem Rechner hinterlegt und die Kraft des Kraftgliedes 13 kann aus den hinterlegten Werten entsprechend der Segmentbelastung abgerufen werden.The deformation characteristic 19 of a segment 1 is stored in tables in a computer and the force of the force member 13 can be retrieved from the stored values corresponding to the segment load.

Der Traversenquerschnitt 20 eines Segmentes 1 ist zur Minimierung der Kraft des Kraftgliedes 13 in Abhängigkeit der Segmentbelastung wählbar.The truss cross-section 20 of a segment 1 can be selected to minimize the force of the force member 13 as a function of the segment load.
