Definitions
- Refractory pouring tube unit for the arrangement on the pouring of a vessel containing molten metal, in particular an intermediate container of a strip casting installation
- the invention relates to a refractory pouring tube unit for the arrangement on the spout of a vessel containing molten metal, in particular on the spout of an intermediate container of a strip casting installation.
- a distributor vessel is arranged above the casting rollers and a pan is arranged above it.
- a pouring tube on the spout of the pan protrudes into the distribution vessel, which in turn has a spout and a nozzle leading between the pouring rollers.
- a stopper closure is provided in the pan for a controlled pouring of the melt.
- the present invention was based on the object of designing a casting tube unit in such a way that the melt flowing in between the casting rollers takes place with the smallest possible kinetic energy with a laminar, uniform flow and the bath level that forms between these casting rollers remains as flat as possible.
- the aim of the casting tube unit is to ensure that the melt is distributed as evenly as possible over the entire length of the casting roll, and that the band skin of the steel is formed on the two rolls over their entire width with a constant course of thickness.
- the object is achieved in that the pouring tube unit has at least one vertical refractory pouring tube part which can be connected to the intermediate container and a horizontally extending refractory pouring tube part which extends therefrom and is provided with one or more openings distributed over the length.
- FIG. 3 shows a side view of the pouring tube unit according to FIG. 2,
- FIG. 5 shows a side view of the pouring tube unit according to FIG. 4,
- Fig.6 and Fig.7 each another variant of a pouring tube unit in
- Cut, 8 shows a partial section of a variant of an embodiment
- FIG. 9 shows a section of the pouring tube unit according to FIG. 8 with a hint of the cast rollers and the side seals
- FIG. 11 shows a section of the pouring tube unit according to FIG. 10 along the
- FIG. 1 shows an intermediate container 10 lined with refractory for pouring molten metal into a strip casting machine 30 known per se, by means of which thin steel strips of a few millimeters in thickness and a width of up to 2 meters are produced in particular.
- the casting rolls 31 and a housing box 32 enclosing them are indicated by the strip casting machine 30, which is only partially illustrated.
- the intermediate container 10 has a lid 15 ', an interior receiving the melt 13 and a spout 14 arranged on its bottom.
- the melt 13 is filled through an immersion tube 16 which extends into the container 10 and which is located on the spout of a pan (not shown in more detail) connected.
- a pouring tube 25 forming the spout 14 projects into the melt bath 33 between the rotating casting rollers 31.
- the interior of the container 10 is advantageously filled with inert gas.
- a bellows 36 enclosing the pouring tube 25 is also provided between the container 10 and the housing cover 32.
- the interior of the container is divided into at least two chambers 11, 12 connected to one another by a through-opening 17, of which the melt 13 can be filled into one chamber 11, while the other chamber 12 is provided with the spout 14, the one from the first amount of melt flowing into the second chamber 11, 12 can be adjusted by means of a control valve 19 at the passage opening 17.
- a vertical partition 18 is expediently provided in the interior of the container, which is advantageously arranged off-center, so that the filling chamber 11 is two to thirty times larger in volume than the chamber 12 with the spout.
- This control valve 19 which is designed as a plug closure, is expediently actuated in such a way that a constant bath height of the melt is maintained in the chamber 12 with the spout 14 during casting, which bath bath can advantageously be adjusted by a control element and a measuring device.
- a rotary closure, a slide closure or the like could also be provided for the control valve.
- the inlet 17 'at the nozzle 26 forming the through-opening 17 is arranged offset to the top of the container in the filling chamber 11. This has the advantage of moving from the pan to this chamber Any possible inclusions settle on the floor and do not get into the subsequent chamber 12.
- the invention is characterized by the refractory pouring tube unit 25, 25 ', to which some design variants are explained below.
- This pouring tube unit consists at least of a vertical pouring tube part 25 embedded on the bottom of the container and of a separate, elongated pouring tube part 25 'extending from it and provided with a horizontal extent.
- This tubular casting tube part 25 "is provided with a plurality of openings 27 distributed over the length and is arranged at a distance from the casting rollers 31 and extends approximately over their length.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate a refractory pouring tube unit which has a vertical pouring tube part 21 projecting downward from the container bottom with an inner metering nozzle 23 and a box-shaped pouring tube part 22 fastened to it.
- the latter is advantageously provided with a sufficient length so that the melt bath 33 is supplied with so-called hot melt approximately to the outside of the side seals, and parasitic solidifications are prevented.
- This pouring tube part 22 is made in two parts for manufacturing reasons, of which the upper cover-shaped part 24 is provided with a flange 24 'for attachment to the pouring tube part 21 and to which the lower shell-shaped part 29 is fastened by means of indicated pins 28, in particular refractory bolts.
- This pouring tube part 22 forms an elongated channel 38 connected to the central inlet opening 39 and groove-shaped openings 34, 37 leading away from it on both sides and on the front side.
- these several openings 34 which are evenly spaced over the length, are spaced upwards from the lower end arranged so that on the one hand the out of these openings 34 emerging melt has a flow direction obliquely upwards and on the other hand the channel 38 forms a kind of sump bath, from which any solid particles in the melt are deposited.
- the further advantage arises that the melt flowing into this channel 38 is initially distributed in this channel over its entire length and then emerges from these openings 34 in approximately equal amounts.
- Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show a similar pouring tube unit as that according to Fig. Therefore, only the differences are explained below.
- part 40 is assigned an upper and a lower longitudinal channel 44, 45, which are connected to one another by vertical bores 46 distributed over the length, the bores 46 becoming larger in diameter on the outside.
- first longitudinal channel 44 the melt flow is throttled before the melt flows out through the second channel 45 and the outlet openings 42, which are in turn displaced upward.
- the outlet openings 61, 62 are oriented in a V-shaped pouring tube part 60 as obliquely upwards at an angle of up to 60 ° to the horizontal, a lower and an upper row of these openings 61, 62 being provided , This results in an outflow direction of the melt obliquely upward in an approximately tangential direction to the respective casting roller 31.
- end openings 63, 66 are also contained in this casting tube part 60. With this arrangement, the part 60 can be positioned deep in the bath and the openings 61, 62 result in an optimal distribution of the melt without the bath surface 33 'becoming unsteady.
- the two-part 70 is again provided with a semicircular cross section.
- the openings 71 are laterally offset upwards, so that the same advantageous effects as already explained above occur.
- the openings 71 can only be arranged vertically downwards or in addition to the lateral ones. It is essential that the newly flowing material does not cause any local abrasion on the band skin.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show a variant of a pouring tube unit in which, in contrast to the examples above, the elongated pouring tube part 80 is not held on the vertical pouring tube part 81 but on a separate suspension 85.
- This suspension 85 is attached to the bottom of the intermediate container 10.
- two conventionally designed, vertically arranged pouring pipes 81 are provided, which are embedded in the intermediate container 10 at a certain distance from one another and extend into the 80. For smaller widths, only one pouring tube can be used.
- the tubular casting tube part 80 has a plurality of lateral openings 83 and on the end side an elongated end cover 86, in which perforations 86 'are contained, in which the suspension 85 engages.
- the pouring tube part 80 has approximately the same length as the pouring rollers 31, of which the side seals 91 are illustrated in FIG. This makes it possible to manufacture this pouring tube unit very easily, without having to accept technical disadvantages.
- FIGS. 10 and 11 show a further very advantageous variant of a pouring tube unit, in which the elongate pouring tube part 90 consists of a horizontally extending refractory tube 91, a closing element 92 on each side and a partition 95.
- the partition 95 arranged approximately in the center of the tube 91 divides the same into an upper and a lower chamber 93, 94, which are connected to one another by openings 97, such as bores, slots or the like, which are arranged in rows over the entire length of the partition.
- openings 97 such as bores, slots or the like
- this pouring tube unit consists in that the melt flows from the intermediate container through the passage opening 14 of the pouring tube part 21 into the lower chamber 94 until this chamber 94 has filled with melt. As a result, the melt rises through the openings 97 into the upper chamber 93 and from there through openings 96 in the wall delimiting the upper chamber, so that this melt can flow out in a targeted manner between the two casting rolls.
- One or more openings are advantageously provided on the underside of the tube 91 so that the sump of the melt to be poured off, which forms in the chamber 94, can be emptied again at the pouring end.
- the closure elements 92 can also be provided with corresponding openings.
- the pouring tube parts could also have two or more parts in the sense that the tube parts could be composed of corresponding tube pieces.
