Description of the Related Art The continuous casting method, which is widely practiced as a method for obtaining a slab as a material for sheet rolling and a billet as a material for a seamless pipe, aims to improve product quality in a stable manner and In order to avoid the occurrence of breakouts that are forced to stop, the amount of molten metal poured into the mold has been adjusted so that the surface level (melt level) of the molten metal that has stagnated inside the mold has hitherto matched a predetermined target level. Level control is performed. The level of the molten metal in the mold is detected by a permeation type or swirl type molten metal level meter, the detected value is compared with a predetermined target value, and the nozzle opening is adjusted to eliminate the deviation. The amount of hot water supplied is adjusted to control the volume of the molten metal in the mold to be constant.

ら湯面レベルを得るようになっている。In controlling the molten metal level, it is required to measure the molten metal level fluctuating inside the mold with high responsiveness with high accuracy. As a measuring means capable of satisfying this requirement, a swirl type molten metal level gauge is used. Widely used. FIG. 6 is a schematic side view showing a mode in which the level of molten metal in the mold is detected using a vortex flow level meter, in which 1 is a mold and 2 is molten metal supplied into the mold 1. , 6 are level gauges. The level meter 6 is composed of a transmitter coil 6a and a receiver coil 6b, which are set side by side and housed in a case 6c having an air-cooling structure. The coils 6a and 6b are arranged so that the arrangement direction of the coils 6a and 6b is parallel to the long side direction of the mold 1.
When a high frequency current is applied to the transmitter coil 6a, an eddy current having a strength corresponding to the relative distance between the transmitter coil 6a and the transmitter coil 6a is generated, and the strength of the magnetic field formed by this eddy current is changed to the receiver coil 6b. It is taken out as a change of the terminal voltage of and the molten metal level is obtained from this result.

Since the fluctuation is also detected as the fluctuation of the molten metal level, the vibration of the molten metal level becomes a disturbance when performing the molten metal level control, which may cause an oscillation state.

性が低下するという難点があった。As a countermeasure against this, vibration of the molten metal caused by a traveling wave, a standing wave, etc. in the mold is reduced by operating an electromagnetic brake to suppress the discharge flow velocity from the nozzle, and feedback from the molten metal level gauge is used. The signal is filtered by a low-pass filter so that the vibration of the molten metal is not regarded as fluctuation of the molten metal level. However, if the discharge flow velocity is controlled by an electromagnetic brake, the surface flow velocity will decrease and problems such as skinning will occur, so it is not possible to control the level of the molten metal due to volume fluctuation.
Normally, the electromagnetic brake is controlled at a constant level, and the cascade control is activated. Further, filtering the feedback signal from the molten metal level meter with a low-pass filter has a drawback that the measuring accuracy and the responsiveness of the molten metal level are deteriorated due to the fluctuation of the molten metal volume.

を奏するものである。As described above, in the apparatus and method of the present invention, two sets of vortex flow are arranged so that the arrangement directions of the transmitting coil and the receiving coil are in two directions intersecting with each other on the molten metal surface in the mold. Type molten metal level meter, the molten metal position changed due to the molten metal volume fluctuation in the mold based on the detected value and the difference between both molten metal level meters, and the molten metal position changed due to the molten metal vibration Therefore, the present invention has excellent effects such that individual control can be performed for each of them and accurate level control of the molten metal surface without disturbance caused by vibration of the molten metal can be performed.
