Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Strangführung, insbesondere für eine Stahlbrammenstranggießanlage, mit einer Mehrzahl von Rollen tragenden Stützsegmenten, wobei mehrere Stützsegmente an einem in Längsrichtung einstückigen Längsträger, insbesondere einem bogenförmig gestalteten Längsträger, befestigt sind und jeweils zwei benachbarte Stützsegmente mittels an ihren Enden angeordneter Tragelemente gemeinsam an einer am Längsträger abgestützten Traglasche gelagert sind.The invention relates to a strand guide, in particular for a steel slab caster, with a plurality of support segments supporting rollers, wherein a plurality of support segments are attached to a longitudinally integral longitudinal member, in particular an arcuate longitudinal member, and two adjacent support segments are jointly attached to each other by means of support elements arranged at their ends a support bracket supported on the side member.

Für Bogenstranggießanlagen mit einer Mehrzahl von Rollen tragenden Stützsegmenten ist es bekannt (Iron and Steel International, December 1978, Vol. 51, No. 6, Seiten 373 bis 380, AT-B - 360.690), mehrere Stützsegmente an einem bogenförmig gestalteten einteiligen Längsträger bzw. Fundamentrahmen zu lagern, wobei die Stützsegmente mit speziell gestalteten Stützflächen direkt an Gegenstützflächen der Fundamentrahmen abgestützt sind.For continuous sheet caster systems with a plurality of support segments supporting rollers (Iron and Steel International, December 1978, Vol. 51, No. 6, pages 373 to 380, AT-B - 360.690), it is known to have several support segments on an arc-shaped one-piece longitudinal member or To store the foundation frame, the support segments being supported directly on counter-support surfaces of the foundation frame with specially designed support surfaces.

Um einen Rollenversatz zwischen benachbarten Stützsegmenten zu vermeiden, ist eine äüßerst genaue Bearbeitung der Stütz- und Gegenstützflächen erforderlich. Dies stellt für den Fundamentrahmen infolge seiner Sperrigkeit einen enormen fertigungstechnischen und meßtechnischen Aufwand dar. Weiters ist eine Generalüberholung solcher Strangführungen sehr aufwendig, da man gezwungen ist, zur Nacharbeitung der Gegenstützflächen die sperrigen Fundamentrahmen aus der Anlage zu entfernen.In order to avoid roll misalignment between adjacent support segments, extremely precise machining of the support and counter support surfaces is required. Because of its bulkiness, this represents an enormous manufacturing and measuring effort for the foundation frame. Furthermore, a general overhaul of such strand guides is very complex, since one is forced to remove the bulky foundation frame from the system for reworking the counter support surfaces.

Zur Vermeidung dieser Schwierigkeiten ist es bei einer Strangführung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beschriebenen Art bekannt (FR-PS 2.447.764), die Traglaschen nach der Art eines Balanciers am einstückigen Längsträger schwenkbar zu lagern und einen Schwenkantrieb, der über einen Schwenkhebel an der Traglasche angreift, zum Ausgleich von Rollenversetzungen zwischen benachbarten Stützsegmenten vorzusehen. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß auf eine genaue Positionierung der Traglaschen am einstückigen Längsträger nicht geachtet werden muß, jedoch ist es sehr schwierig bzw. fast unmöglich, durch Schwenken der Traglaschen eine kreisbogenförmige Rollenbahn der Rollen sämtlicher Stützsegmente sicherzustellen und gleichzeitig einen Rollenversatz zu vermeiden. Durch das Verschwenken der Traglaschen wird nämlich ein Stützsegment abgesenkt und das zweite, an dieser Traglasche gelagerte Stützsegment gehoben, wodurch in der Rollenbahn Knicke entstehen.To avoid these difficulties, it is known in a strand guide of the type described in the preamble of claim 1 (FR-PS 2,447,764) to pivotally support the support straps in the manner of a balancer on the one-piece longitudinal member and a pivot drive which is connected to the pivot lever at the Carrier tab attacks, to compensate for roll dislocations between adjacent support segments. This has the advantage that it is not necessary to pay attention to an exact positioning of the support straps on the one-piece side member, but it is very difficult or almost impossible to ensure an arcuate roller track of the rollers of all the support segments by pivoting the support straps and at the same time to avoid a roller offset. By pivoting the support tabs, a support segment is namely lowered and the second support segment mounted on this support tab is raised, causing kinks in the roller conveyor.

Weiters ist die schwenkbare Lagerung der Traglaschen konstruktiv sehr aufwendig, insbesondere ist es schwierig, die Funktion der Schwenkantriebe nach längerem Betrieb der Stranggießanlage zu gewährleisten, da die bogenförmige Strangführung zu dem durch Hitze, Kühlwasser, Zunder und Rost am höchsten beanspruchten Teil der Stranggießanlage gehört. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist darin zu sehen, daß Längsdehnungen der Stützsegmente von den Traglaschen nicht berücksichtigt werden können, zumal die Lagen der Traglaschen von vornherein nicht genau definiert sind, sondern sich erst nach Betätigung der Schwenkantriebe, die so lange betätigt werden, bis ein eventueller Rollenversatz verschwunden ist, mehr oder weniger zufällig ergeben.Furthermore, the pivotable mounting of the support brackets is very complex in terms of design, in particular it is difficult to ensure the function of the pivot drives after the continuous casting installation has been in operation for a long time, since the curved strand guide belongs to the part of the continuous casting installation which is most stressed by heat, cooling water, scale and rust. Another disadvantage is the fact that longitudinal strains of the support segments cannot be taken into account by the support straps, especially since the positions of the support straps are not precisely defined from the outset, but only after actuation of the swivel drives, which are actuated until a possible roller offset disappeared, more or less randomly.

Die Erfindung bezweckt die Vermeidung dieser Nachteile und Schwierigkeiten und stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Strangführung der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, bei der ein Rollenversatz zwischen benachbarten Stützsegmenten mit Sicherheit und insbesondere eine Abweichung der Rollenbahn von der idealen Kreisbogenbahn vermieden werden, wobei jedoch eine einfache Fertigung der einstückigen, die Stützsegmente tragenden Längsträger sichergestellt ist, Vermessungsarbeiten auf ein Minimum reduziert werden können und ein schneller, einfacher Ein-und Ausbau der Stützsegmente möglich ist.The invention aims at avoiding these disadvantages and difficulties and has as its object to provide a strand guide of the type described in the introduction, in which a roller offset between adjacent support segments is avoided with certainty and in particular a deviation of the roller conveyor from the ideal circular arc path, but a simple one Production of the one-piece, longitudinal members carrying the supporting segments is ensured, measurement work can be reduced to a minimum and the supporting segments can be installed and removed quickly and easily.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß jede Traglasche mittels zweier zueinander paralleler Paßbolzen am Längsträger starr befestigt ist, wobei die Paßbolzen sämtlicher Traglaschen etwa in der neutralen Faser des Längsträgers liegen und jedes Stützsegment gegen den Längsträger mittels einer Spanneinrichtung spannbar ist.This object is achieved in that each support bracket is rigidly attached to the side member by means of two parallel fitting bolts, the fitting bolts of all the support straps are approximately in the neutral fiber of the side member and each support segment against the side member can be tensioned by means of a clamping device.

Die Fertigung der Längsträger gestaltet sich äu- ßerst einfach, da die in den Längsträgern vorgesehenen Bohrungen für die Paßbolzen mit hoher Genauigkeit und ohne großen Aufwand auf einem Koordinatenbohrwerk hergestellt werden können. Desgleichen gestaltet sich die Fertigung der Traglaschen besonders einfach. Bei einer Generalüberholung der Anlage müssen die einstückigen Längsträger nicht ausgebaut werden. Es genügt vielmehr, die Stützsegmente und die Traglaschen zu entfernen und zu überholen.The manufacture of the longitudinal beams is extremely simple, since the holes provided in the longitudinal beams for the locating bolts can be produced with great accuracy and without great effort on a coordinate boring machine. Likewise, the manufacture of the carrier straps is particularly simple. In the event of a general overhaul of the system, the one-piece side members do not have to be removed. Rather, it is sufficient to remove and overhaul the support segments and the support straps.

Zur Aufnahme von Wärmedehnungen weist zweckmäßig jede Tragtasche eine das Tragelement eines Stützsegmentes unbeweglich aufnehmende Ausnehmung und eine das Tragelement des benachbarten Stützsegmentes, welches vorzugsweise als Gleitstein ausgebildet ist, mit Spiel aufnehmende Ausnehmung auf, wobei das Spiel parallel zur Strangführungsbahn an der Übergangsstelle von dem einen Stützsegment zum benachbarten Stützsegment gerichtet ist.To absorb thermal expansion, each carrying bag expediently has a recess which immovably receives the support element of a support segment and a recess which receives the support element of the adjacent support segment, which is preferably designed as a sliding block, with play, the play being parallel to the strand guideway at the transition point from the one support segment is directed to the adjacent support segment.

Um einen versatzfreien Anschluß der bogenförmigen Strangführung zu den benachbarten Strangführungsteilen der Stranggießanlage sicherzustellen, greift vorteilhaft in die an einem Ende des bogenförmigen Längsträgers vorgesehenen Traglaschen ein dem bogenförmigen Strangführungsteil benachbartes Stützsegment, wie ein Stützsegment der Biegezone und/oder der Richtzone, ein.In order to ensure an offset-free connection of the arcuate strand guide to the adjacent strand guide parts of the continuous casting installation, a support segment adjacent to the arcuate strand guide part, such as a support segment of the bending zone and / or the straightening zone, advantageously engages in the support tabs provided at one end of the arcuate longitudinal member.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand der schematischen Zeichnung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert, wobei Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Strangführung zeigt und die Fig. 2 und 3 jeweils Schnitte gemäß den Linien II-11 bzw. 111-111 der Fig. 1 darstellen.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the schematic drawing using an exemplary embodiment, with FIG. 1 showing a side view of a strand guide according to the invention and FIGS. 2 and 3 each showing sections according to lines II-11 and 111-111 of FIG. 1.

Eine Strangführung 1 einer Bogenstranggießanlage weist zur Aufnahme mehrerer Stützsegmente 2 durchgehende, bogenförmig gestaltete und zueinander parallel liegende Längsträger 3, 4 auf, die jeweils mittels Lager 5 und Laschen 6 am Fundament 7 abgestützt sind, u.zw. am unteren Ende direkt am Lager 5 und am oberen Ende sowie mittig über Gelenklaschen 6. Jeder Längsträger 3, 4 ist aus zwei parallelen Wangen 8 gebildet, zwischen denen jeweils Traglaschen 9 zur Abstützung der Stützsegmente 2 angeordnet sind, wobei die Traglaschen 9 an jedem Längsträger 3, 4 in Längsrichtung im Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind, der der Längserstreckung der Stützsegmente 2 plus dem Abstand benachbarter Stützsegmente 2 entspricht.A strand guide 1 of a continuous sheet casting installation has continuous, arc-shaped and parallel longitudinal beams 3, 4 for receiving a plurality of support segments 2, each of which is supported on the foundation 7 by means of bearings 5 and brackets 6, etc. at the bottom right on Bearing 5 and at the upper end and in the center via hinge plates 6. Each side member 3, 4 is formed from two parallel cheeks 8, between each of which support plates 9 are arranged to support the support segments 2, the support plates 9 on each side member 3, 4 in the longitudinal direction are arranged at a distance from each other which corresponds to the longitudinal extent of the support segments 2 plus the distance between adjacent support segments 2.

Jede Traglasche 9 ist mittels zweier etwa in der neutralen Faser 10 der Längsträger 3, 4 angeordneter Paßbolzen 11 starr am Längsträger 3, 4 befestigt. Zur Lagerung der Rollen 12 tragenden Stützsegmente 2 weist jede Traglasche 9 zwei U-förmige, in Längsrichtung der Längsträger hintereinanderliegende Ausnehmungen 13, 14 auf, die als Bolzen ausgebildete Tragelemente 15, 16, die jeweils seitlich an beiden Enden der Stützsegmente 2 angeordnet sind, aufnehmen.Each support bracket 9 is rigidly fastened to the longitudinal beams 3, 4 by means of two fitting bolts 11 arranged approximately in the neutral fiber 10 of the longitudinal beams 3, 4. To support the rollers 12 supporting support segments 2, each support bracket 9 has two U-shaped recesses 13, 14 which are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal supports and which receive support elements 15, 16 which are designed as bolts and are arranged laterally at both ends of the support segments 2 .

Jeweils zwei benachbarte Stützsegmente 2 sind gemeinsam an einer Traglasche 9 jedes Längsträgers 3 bzw. 4 abgestützt. Die Ausnehmungen 13, 14 sind etwa in radialer Richtung zum Mittelpunkt der Strangführungsbahn 17 offen, so daß die Stützsegmente 2 in Richtung zum Mittelpunkt aus den Längsträgem entfembar sind, wobei die Tragelemente 15, 16 aus den Ausnehmungen 13, 14 herausgleiten. Die Seitenwände der Ausnehmungen 13, 14 sind in Ausbaurichtung des jeweiligen Stützsegmentes 2 gerichtet, so daß die Seitenwände der ein Stützsegment 2 aufnehmenden Ausnehmungen 13, 14 jeweils benachbarter Traglaschen 9 parallel gerichtet sind, wogegen die Seitenwände der Ausnehmungen 13, 14 einer Traglasche 9 im Winkel zueinander gerichtet sind.Two adjacent support segments 2 are jointly supported on a support bracket 9 of each side member 3 and 4, respectively. The recesses 13, 14 are open approximately in the radial direction to the center of the strand guide track 17, so that the support segments 2 can be removed in the direction of the center from the longitudinal members, the support elements 15, 16 sliding out of the recesses 13, 14. The side walls of the recesses 13, 14 are directed in the direction of removal of the respective support segment 2, so that the side walls of the recesses 13, 14 receiving a support segment 2 are directed parallel to each of the support brackets 9, whereas the side walls of the recesses 13, 14 of a support bracket 9 are at an angle are directed towards each other.

Jeweils eine U-förmige Ausnehmung 13 jeder Traglasche 9 nimmt ein Tragelement 15 jedes Stützsegmentes 2 unbeweglich auf, wogegen die benachbarte U-förmige Ausnehmung 14 derselben Traglasche 9 ein Tragelement 16 des benachbarten Stützsegmentes 2 zur Ermöglichung von Wärmedehnungen mit Spiel 18 aufnimmt.In each case a U-shaped recess 13 of each support bracket 9 receives a support element 15 of each support segment 2 immovably, whereas the adjacent U-shaped recess 14 of the same support bracket 9 receives a support element 16 of the adjacent support segment 2 to enable thermal expansion with play 18.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, liegen die Tragelemente 16, welche in diesem Fall als Gleitsteine ausgebildet sind, etwa mittig in der Ausnehmung 14, so daß jeweils ein Spiel 18 in Längsrichtung eines Stützsegmentes 2 vor und hinter dem Tragelement 16 vorhanden ist.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the support elements 16, which in this case are designed as sliding blocks, lie approximately centrally in the recess 14, so that there is play 18 in the longitudinal direction of a support segment 2 in front of and behind the support element 16.

Um einen Rollenversatz zwischen benachbarten Stützsegmenten 2 bei Auftreten von Wärmedehnungen zu verhindern, ist das Spiel 18 und somit der Grund der Ausnehmung 14 parallel zur Strangführungsbahn 17 an der Übergangsstelle 19 von einem Stützsegment 2 zum benachbarten Stützsegment 2 gerichtet.In order to prevent roll misalignment between adjacent support segments 2 when thermal expansions occur, the play 18 and thus the bottom of the recess 14 is directed parallel to the strand guide track 17 at the transition point 19 from a support segment 2 to the adjacent support segment 2.

Zum Fixieren der Stützsegmente 2 an den Längsträgem 3, 4 dienen Spanneinrichtungen 20. Diese Spanneinrichtungen werden von Spannschrauben gebildet, die einerseits die Längsträger 3, 4 verbindende und die Wangen 8 sowie die Längsträger 3, 4 gegeneinander spannende Bolzen 21 und andererseits an den Stützsegmenten 2 angeschweißte Laschen 22 durchsetzen.Clamping devices 20 are used to fix the support segments 2 to the longitudinal beams 3, 4. These clamping devices are formed by clamping screws, which on the one hand connect the longitudinal beams 3, 4 and the cheeks 8 and the longitudinal beams 3, 4 against one another and on the other hand on the support segments 2 Push through welded tabs 22.

Die der bogenförmigen Strangführung 1 benachbarten Stützsegmente der Biegezone 23 bzw. der Richtzone 24 weisen ebenfalls Tragelemente 15, 16 auf, die in die Ausnehmungen 13, 14 der an den Enden der bogenförmigen Längsträger 3, 4 angeordneten Traglaschen 9 eingreifen, wobei wiederum das untere Tragelement 16 der Biegezone 23 als Gleitstein ausgebildet ist und in der Ausnehmung 14 in Richtung der Strangführungsbahn 17 verschiebbar ist. Die Ausnehmung 14 ist in diesem Fall parallel zur Strangführungsbahn 17 gerichtet und zur Kokille hin offen.The support segments of the bending zone 23 and the straightening zone 24 adjacent to the arcuate strand guide 1 likewise have support elements 15, 16 which engage in the recesses 13, 14 of the support tabs 9 arranged at the ends of the arcuate longitudinal supports 3, 4, again the lower support element 16 of the bending zone 23 is designed as a sliding block and is displaceable in the recess 14 in the direction of the strand guide track 17. In this case, the recess 14 is directed parallel to the strand guide track 17 and is open towards the mold.

Die oben beschriebene Strangführung 1 läßt sich mit hoher Genauigkeit ohne großen Aufwand fertigen, indem die Bohrungen für die Paßbolzen 11 in den Längsträgem 3, 4 auf einem Koordinatenbohrwerk hergestellt werden. Die Fertigung der Traglaschen 9 gestaltet sich ebenso einfach.The above-described strand guide 1 can be manufactured with great accuracy without great effort by making the holes for the fitting bolts 11 in the longitudinal members 3, 4 on a coordinate boring machine. The production of the support straps 9 is just as easy.

Bei einer Generalüberholung der Anlage können nach Lösen der Spannschrauben 20 die Stützsegmente 2 und nach Entfernen der Paßbolzen 11 die Traglaschen 9 ausgebaut werden, welche Teile somit in der Werkstatt in einfacher Weise nachbearbeitet werden können. Die sperrigen Längsträger 3, 4 können in der Anlage verbleiben und müssen nicht nachbearbeitet werden.In a general overhaul of the system, after loosening the clamping screws 20, the support segments 2 and after removing the dowel pins 11, the support brackets 9 can be removed, which parts can thus be easily reworked in the workshop. The bulky side members 3, 4 can remain in the system and do not have to be reworked.

Beim Wiedereinbau der Traglaschen 9 und der Stützsegmente 2 können aufwendige Ausrichtarbeiten auf ein Minimum reduziert werden, da die Traglaschen 9 durch die Paßbolzen 11 automatisch wieder die ursprüngliche Position einnehmen.When reinstalling the support brackets 9 and the support segments 2, complex alignment work can be reduced to a minimum, since the support brackets 9 automatically assume the original position again through the fitting bolts 11.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, lassen sich die Traglaschen auch mit Vorteil im horizontalen geradlinigen Teil der Strangführung 1 vorsehen, wobei die eine geradlinige Rollenbahn bildenden benachbarten Stützsegmente 2' über die als Bolzen ausgebildeten Tragelemente 15', 16' über Traglaschen 9' an einem geradlinigen Längsträger 3' befestigt sind. Die Montage der Traglaschen 9' ist hier ebenfalls über Paßbolzen 11, die mit ihrer Achse in der neutralen Faser 10' des Längsträgers 3' liegen, bewerkstelligt.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the support straps can also advantageously be provided in the horizontal straight part of the strand guide 1, the adjacent support segments 2 'forming a rectilinear roller track via the support elements 15', 16 'formed as bolts via support straps 9' on one rectilinear side members 3 'are attached. The mounting of the support brackets 9 'is also accomplished here using dowel pins 11, which lie with their axes in the neutral fiber 10' of the side member 3 '.

Die Erfindung beschränkt sich nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel, sondern sie kann in verschiedener Hinsicht modifiziert werden. So kann z.B. anstelle der Spannschrauben 20 eine Keilverbindung vorgesehen werden. Ebenso ist es möglich, die beiden Längsträger 3, 4 durch Querträger zu einem einteiligen starren rahmenartigen Längsträger zu verbinden.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown, but can be modified in various ways. For example, a wedge connection can be provided instead of the clamping screws 20. It is also possible to connect the two side members 3, 4 to a one-piece rigid frame-like side member by cross members.
