Definitions
- the present invention relates to ladles for molten metal, for example steel, and more particularly to an improvement for cooling the pocket bottom brick of these ladles during their use.
- the pocket bottom bricks are refractory bricks which line the wall of the pouring channel with the ladles.
- the contact of steel with the refractory brick during casting somewhat erodes the brick.
- the pouring channel is still filled with steel which is largely solidified.
- This steel core must then be burnt using an oxygen lance so as to clean the wall of the pocket bottom brick.
- the brick is damaged the most because the dart of the burner causes, at the point of contact, a very significant rise in temperature and hence a deterioration of the interior surface.
- the invention relates to an improvement aimed at allowing the continuous cooling of the pocket bottom brick during the metal casting and during the maintenance operations so as to protect the wall of this brick against too high a temperature and thus avoid its slow but regular erosion during metal casting and the deterioration of the wall of the pouring channel during maintenance operations.
- a ladle characterized by an annular cooling chamber extending around the periphery of the pocket bottom brick, a hollow ring being arranged in the annular chamber so as to be extend substantially coaxially to the casting channel, the wall of this ring being pierced with holes distributed along 'the ring, the inner volume of 1'anneau being in communication with a cooling fluid feed line, the wall of the annular chamber having an opening for the evacuation of the cooling fluid distributed by the distributor ring.
- the annular cooling chamber can be formed in the pocket bottom brick or be formed by an external box surrounding at least part of the pocket bottom brick.
- the pocket bottom brick have a longer service life thanks to the significant reduction in the temperature of the wall of the pouring channel, as explained above, but also the plate fixed casting system which adjoins the bottom of the ladle is effectively cooled and thus has a significantly increased service life.
- Figure 1 is a partial perspective view of the bottom of a steel ladle,.
- Figure 2 shows in section a first embodiment of a pocket bottom brick according to the invention.
- Figure 3 shows, with partial section, a second embodiment of a pocket bottom brick according
- the pocket bottom brick 2 is produced with a cooling box.
- a first embodiment is illustrated in Figure 2. Over a part of its length, the brick 2 has an annular chamber 3 advantageously lined internally with a metal box 4. In the upper part of the chamber 3 is arranged a ring hollow 5 which extends in a plane transverse to the axis I of the pouring channel 1, practically coaxial with said pouring channel. The wall of the hollow ring 5 is pierced with holes 6 distributed over the entire length of the ring. This serves as a distributor for a cooling fluid introduced into the ring 5 by a metal conduit 7 connected to a fluid supply pipe 8.
- the cooling fluid for example pressurized air, is thus found distributed by the distributor ring 5 around the entire periphery of the brick 2 in the upper part of the annular chamber 3, then after having bypassed the distributor ring, this cooling fluid circulates throughout the annular chamber 3 in down to an outlet 9 located in the vicinity of the transverse plane in which is
- the cooling device according to the invention also cools the upper part of the fixed plate 20 of the casting system, which adjoins the bottom of the ladle and the lower mouth of the casting channel 1.
- the temperature reached by this plate can thus be reduced significantly, which makes it possible to avoid excessive and rapid wear of the wall of the taphole 21 of this plate.
- FIG. 3 represents another embodiment of the device for cooling the pocket bottom brick.
- the annular chamber 3 in which the distributor ring 5 for the cooling fluid is located is formed by an external metal casing 4 which surrounds at least part of the pocket bottom brick 2 and abuts the fixed plate 20 of the casting system.
- the reference numbers which are the same as in FIG. 2 denote similar or equivalent elements.
- the cooling fluid introduced into the box 4 through the supply line 8 is directed towards the distributor ring 5 through the pipe 7 formed inside the box 4 by an internal metal box 11.
- the cooling fluid is then distributed in the upper part of the annular chamber 3 through the holes 6 of the distributor ring 5 and descends towards the bottom of the box 4 as shown by the arrows. Part of the cooling fluid is evacuated through the evacuation orifice 9.
- the inner wall of the box 4 is pierced with several spaced orifices .12, distributed over the entire perimeter so as to let part of the cooling fluid pass to the upper part of the fixed plate 20 of the casting system.
- An annular channel 13 is advantageously provided prati ⁇ cally coaxially with the tap hole 21 of the fixed plate 20 of the pouring system to let the coolant flow through the orifices 12 and thus form a cooling sheath at the top of the aforementioned fixed plate 20.
