JPS5686660A - Casting ring cooler - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the degradation in working environment during supplying of cooling fluid and improve working efficiency by preventing the cooling fluid fed into a slit for cooling the casting ring from scattering by the guide part for preventing fluid scattering, at the time of releasing said cooling fluid from the inside of the spindle of the casting ring to the outside circumference. CONSTITUTION:A casting ring 3 is rotated by the rotative driving means provided to one end part of a spindle 1, following to which cooling fluid A is fed into the rotary joint 8 provided to the other end part of the sindle 1. Next, the fluid A fed into the joint 8 is sent into a slit 7 through a supply hole 9 and a flexible hose 10, whereby the ingot passing the inside of a recess 6 is cooled. Following to this, the fluid A having finished cooling is sent from the required place of the slit 7 to a discharge hole 22 via a flexible hose 21 and is released 23 into the atmosphere through its left end part. This released fluid A is then gathered in the lower part of a guide part 24 without being scattered to the surroundings by the action of the guide part 24, and exhausted to the direction arrowed with C, and is recovered in a recovery tank. The scattering of the fluid A in a lateral direction from the clearance between the guide part 24 and the spindle 1 is prevented by a drain board 26.
