Abstract

According to the invention, in an electric current lead divided into at least two sections (4, 27) said sections (4, 27) are joined to an electric connection. To ensure the desired cooling in the different operating states, the one section (4) and/or the one connecting element (10) are air-cooled and the other section (27) and/or the other connecting element (22) are water-cooled.

Description

OCT-31-2888 15:37 WENDEROTH LIND & PONRCK 282 721 8250 P.03~14 Fluid-cooled electric current line Specificarion The invention relates to a fluid-cooled electric current line divided into at least two sections; wherein the sections are connected with an electric coupling.
Such current line is used, for example, in metallurgical technology. In metal casting a distributor vcsscl (tundish), still cmpty and prchcatcd to approximately casting temperature, is moved to a chill mold. After coupling the distributor vessel with the chill mold, melt is let into the distributor vessel, which emerges through casting openings into the chill mold. The casting openings are each heated with a cooled electric inductor, which must be electrically connected with a rnrrPnt line tn a frequency changer or generator. This connection takes place by means of an electric coupling after the distributor vessel has been connected with the chill mold.
Since high curremt5 are IlvwW g, il is uselul to euul mut uWy ll~e ioc:luclor bul also We current line and the coupling.
It is the task of the invention to ensure the desired cooling during different operating stages.
According to the invention the above task is solved in said fluid-coolPrl current lmP
thereby that the one section and/or the one coupling part is air-cooled and the other section and/or the other coupling part is water-cooled.
In the aforementioned application example the one section of the current line and the one coupling part are disposed fixedly on the distributor vessel and connected to the Received Oct-31-00 03:3Tpm From-202 T21 8250 To-Smart & BIQQar Pale 003 OCT-31-2000 15 37 ~.IENDEROTH LIND & PONRCK 282 721 8258 P.f~4i14 inductor. This section and/or this coupling part as well as the inductor are air-cooled via an air connection. This section and the inductor arc already air-cooled during the preheating of the distributor vessel and also during the casting operation.
Cooling the inductor with air is used since there are safety reservations against cooling it with water.
The other section of the current line and/or the other coupling part are water-cooled since this cooling [method] is more effective and since there are no safety reservations in this area.
Overall, if is thus ensured that the current line, the coupling and the inductor do not assume impermissibly high temperatures during different operating stages (preheating, casting), which could lead to damage of the structural parts.
Advantageous implementations of the invention are evident in the dependent claims and the following description of an embodiment example. In the drawing depict:

On each casting opening 2 is di~posed an inductor 3. For the sake of simplicity, in the following only the current line, its connection, coupling and cooling of one of the inductors is described. As is evident in Figures 1 and 2 the current lines of the other inductors are likewise structured.
The inductor 3, specifically its coil, is connected with hollow electric conductors 4,. 5, each of which forms a first section of the current line. As will be described later, in the electric c~nduct~rs compressed air is conducted for the puzpuse ~f CUUling them and for cooling the inductor 3. To the inductor 3 is connected an air discharge 6 for the cooling, which is connected with a collector 7. Prom the collector 7 the compressed air is released into the atmosphere through an outlet 8, wherein a sound absorber can be provided. The inductor 3 i~ therein air-cooled with eeparate air feed lines via two cooling branches, namely through the conductors 4, 5 and common air discharge. If necessary, the cooling branches can be controlled separately.
C7n the distributor vessel 1 is fastened a junction box 9. In it the conductors 4, 5 terminate at one coupling part 10 each. In Figure 3 only one of the coupling part:; x0 is shown; the other is likewise structured and is located behind the plane of draw:;ng.
The coupling part 10 comprises a current-conducting pin 11, far example comprised of copper or a copper alloy, which is screwed into an electrically insulating block 12, for example of hard tissue. The block 12 is disposed fixedly at an angle [form] 13 of the junction box 9 (cf. Figure 3).
The pin 11 ~omPrisPS an axial rocket bore 14, in which the hnllnw c~nductrrr 4 is seated so as to carry current. From the pocket bore 14 several radial bores 15 lead to an annular channel 16 between the pin 11 and the block I2. For the purpose of sealW g, D-iilzgs 17 are provided between the pin 11 and the block 12 as well as the conductor 4.

The annular channel 16 is connected via a channel 18 of block 12 and an elbow 19 to a plug corrector 20 for a compressed air hose 21.
The compressed air hose 21 or the compressed air hosts is/are already connected during the preheating of the distributor vessel 1 to approximately casting temperature and, due to flexibility, accomznodate(s) the movement of the distribmtor vessel 1 to the chill mold. The compressed air hose 2'1 or the compressed air hoses remain r_nnnP~tPd PvPn during the casting opPraHon. In all of these operating stages cooling air is conducted through the block 12, the pin 11, the conductor 4 and the inductor 3.
For the electric connection of the conductors 4, 5 a coupling part 22 is provided (cf.
rigures 3, 4). It compriaca two electrically conducting recePtacle~ 23, 2d, which are fixed jointly in an electrically insulating block 25 (cf. Figure 4). By means of threaded connectors 26 the receptacles ~.3, 24 arc connected with water-carrying and water-cooled electric cables 27, 2S, which in each instance form the other section of the current line and are connected to a remote frequency changer over water-cooled 'hms bars not further shown.
Each of the receptacles 23, 24 has an axial pocket bore 29, which via radial t~ures 30 terminate in an annular channel 31 disposed between the particular receptacles 23, 24 and the block 25- O-rungs 32 ara piovided for the purpose of sealing. The annular channels 31 of receptacles 23, 24 are connected with one another via a channel 33~ in block 25.
If through the one electric cable 27 cooling water is supplied, it PntPr:~
intro the packet bore 2y of the one receptacle hi, flows in its annular channel 31 and through the channel 33 into the annular channel 31 of the other receptacle 24 and through its pocket bore 29 into the other electric cable 28. Thereby via tl~e couplWg part 22 ithe water circulation is closed even if the coupling part 22 is not yet connected with the Reveived Oel-91-00 09:9Ppm From-202 P21 8250 Tu-Srnarl & Bi~~ar Pale, 008 OCT-31-2008 15:38 ~JENDEROTH LIND & PONRCK 282 721 8258 P.07i14.
associated coupling parts 10. Simultaneously, the coupling part 22 is water-cooled.
When the distributor vessel 1 is coupled to the chill mold, the conductors 4, 5 are electrically connected with the electric cables 27, 2f3. For this purpose the coupling part 22 is plugged with its receptacles 23, 24 onto the pins 11 of the adjacent coupling parts 10 of the conductors 4, 5. Into the contact sites 34 can be placed elements improving current transfer.

To press tight and block the closure flap 35, slotted bolt/wedge connections 38, 39 are provided (cf.
Figure 2). The closed closure flap 35 presses the coupling part 2Z on the coupling parts 10 and offers contact protection against the electrically conducting parts.
The transverse connection described in connection with receptacles 23, 24 via the channel 33 of bludc, 25 can al5u tie pruvided with puu~ 11 ili smh a way lhal the block 12 receives several pins 11 and in it connecting transverse channels are developed between lliei.~' amular ehalumls 16. In this case a separate compressed air cormeclion or separate compressed air hose is not required for each air cooling branch.
With a single compressed air connection in this case two or several of the conductors 4, 5 can be supplied. The receptacles and pins can also be interchanged.
