Abstract

PURPOSE: To sustain a stabilized accurate measurement of molten metal level automatically by previously storing a calibration function at each y position of short side such that a switching can be made to a new calibration function immediately upon alteration of the y position of short side. CONSTITUTION: Calibration functions corresponding to previously classified set y positions of short side are stored in files W1 -Wn . When the width of a casting piece is altered according to the purpose of operation, a signal representative of altered y position of short side is delivered, in place of the signal prevailing prior to alteration, to an operating unit 15. In response to the alteration signal, the operating unit 15 switches the calibration function, being employed for converting the output voltage from a sensor pair 4 into a molten metal level signal, to that (stored in one of W1 -Wn ) corresponding to the altered y position of short side. Subsequently, output voltage from the sensor pair 4 is converted into the molten level signal based on the switched calibration function and delivered until another alteration signal arrives.

By changing the position of the short side y, the magnetic field to be measured formed by the short side made of copper which is the conductor, the metal belt and the molten steel in the casting space surrounded by them changes, Since the molten metal level sensor is fixedly installed near the short side, the output voltage of the molten metal level sensor changes even though the molten metal level does not change, and stable molten metal level measurement is impossible. Therefore, the casting was interrupted, the level sensor of the molten metal was changed to a calibration function suitable for the casting width, and the casting was restarted. The interruption of casting lowers the equipment operation efficiency of the twin-belt continuous casting machine and deteriorates the product yield.

Function: The twin-belt continuous casting machine that continuously casts thin steel plates is used to measure the level of the molten metal surface by placing a plurality of transmitting coils and receiving coils in pairs in the vertical direction with the metal belt sandwiched near the short side. The level sensor detects and measures the molten steel level inside the mold. More specifically, when the transmitter supplies a current having a constant amplitude and a constant amplitude to the transmitter coil, the transmitter coil generates a magnetic flux having a constant frequency according to the current value. This magnetic flux is one of a pair of metal belts facing each other,
It penetrates the molten steel and the other metal belt to reach the receiving coil with a strength corresponding to the molten steel level. Then, the receiving coil generates an induced voltage corresponding to the strength of this magnetic flux. Further, this induced voltage corresponds to the molten steel level, and changes according to the change in the molten steel level. When the molten steel level inside the mold rises, the magnetic flux generated from the transmitting coil is blocked by the molten steel and weakens, and the induced voltage in the receiving coil becomes smaller.

The induced voltage in the receiving coil is sent to the phase detector as a signal only in the vicinity of the measurement frequency after removing the noise generated from the site environment by a bandpass filter. The phase detector synchronizes with the current from the oscillator whose phase is shifted by a predetermined angle by the phase shifter, converts the signal from the bandpass filter into a DC voltage corresponding to the molten metal level, and uses an AC noise with the lowpass filter. Is removed and sent to the level conversion computer, that is, the level calculator as the molten metal level sensor output voltage. The level conversion computer converts the molten metal level sensor output voltage into a molten metal level signal by using a predetermined calibration function and outputs it.

1. A pair of metal belts arranged to face each other in the x direction, which circulate while maintaining a gap for holding a molten metal, and a pair of metal belts located on both side edges between the metal belts.
In a twin-belt continuous casting machine including a pair of short sides arranged to face each other in the y direction and a pouring nozzle for injecting molten steel into a casting space surrounded by these, the metal belt is provided in the vicinity of the short side. A twin-belt for measuring the level of the molten metal in the casting space with a molten metal level sensor that applies electromagnetic induction in which a plurality of pairs of transmitting coils and receiving coils are installed in the casting space and a plurality of pairs are installed in the vertical direction z. In the method for measuring the molten metal level of a continuous casting machine, a calibration function for converting the output voltage of the molten metal level sensor into a molten metal level signal is created in advance for each y position of the above-mentioned short side, When it is changed during casting due to the purpose of operation, it receives the change signal of the short side y position and switches the calibration function of the melt level sensor to the calibration function corresponding to the y position of the short side to output the melt level sensor. Converts the voltage into a level signal A method for measuring a molten metal level of a twin-belt continuous casting machine, which is characterized in that
