Definitions
- Said coupling station comprises a first pneumatic translation cylinder, from which a second pneumatic coupling cylinder is suspended in a pendulum.
- the latter axially supports a female connection element which is connected to said gas distribution network.
- This female element can be engaged under the action of the two pneumatic cylinders on a male connection element which is arranged on the metallurgical ladle and connected to a gas pipe installed thereon.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device for automatically connecting a metallurgical ladle to a gas network, which comprises a male connection element which can be axially engaged in a female connection element, and which can also be used when the side access to the pocket is difficult, if not impossible.
- the proposed device therefore allows automatic coupling of the bag to the gas network, without manual intervention and without any other operation than the simple introduction of the bag into the structure receiving the bag.
- the proposed device uses the movement of the pocket to achieve the junction of the male and female connecting element.
- the proposed device comprises a base which is carried by the receiving structure so as to be able to slide in two mutually perpendicular directions against the action of springs.
- the female element is preferably mounted in the foot so as to be able to slide vertically against the action of a spring provided inside the foot.
- the male connection element has the shape of a cone with a rounded top
- the female connection element has the shape of a conical cup open in the coupling direction.
- the bottom of the bowl is rounded to match the curvature of the top of the connection head.
- the rounded top of the male element is advantageously provided with an O-ring sealing the connection.
- the male connection element comprises a passage communicating with said gas distribution network and opening axially from the male element at its rounded apex, a valve mounted in this passage so as to cut communication with the gas network under the action of a spring, and a plunger axially slidable in this passage so as to open, by axial penetration in the male element, said valve against the action of its spring.
- Said plunger opens advantageously with one end of the rounded top, so that its penetration into the male element occurs automatically during the axial engagement of the female element on the male element. In other words, the engagement of the female element on the connection head opens the valve against the action of its spring.
- the base supporting the male element is provided on the side opposite to the male element with a cavity having the shape of a parallelepiped.
- the bottom of this cavity defines a sliding plane perpendicular to the connecting axis, which is supported and can slide on a support block secured to the structure receiving the pocket.
- This block is crossed by two sets of rods superimposed on a cross and sliding in the block. The ends of these rods are provided with pads which are in sliding support along opposite walls of said cavity. The self-centering of the male element in the female element, during the coupling action, is done accordingly by sliding the base on the support block.
- At least one rod of each set of rods is surrounded by two springs mounted between the outer pads and the support block, to ensure a central position of the base relative to the support block.
- the base is mounted in a housing in which it can be slid in a first direction defined by guide rods which pass through it and which are fixed in the housing.
- This housing is slidable in a second direction in a frame secured to the structure receiving the pocket. Said second direction is perpendicular to said first direction and is defined by guide rods fixed in the chassis.
- the base and its housing are preferably maintained in a central position relative to the chassis under the action of springs mounted between the base and its housing on the one hand, and between the housing and the chassis on the other hand.
- Figure 1 shows a female connection element telescopically mounted in a foot 12, which is in turn fixed to the lower part of the outer wall of a metallurgical ladle 14 as shown in Figure 2.
- Element 10 can be pressed a certain distance into the foot 12 against the action of a helical spring 16 disposed around the body 18 of the element 10 and bearing respectively on an internal shoulder of the foot 12 and an external shoulder of the body 18.
- the element 10 is traversed axially by a passage 20 which communicates with an external pipe 22, connecting the foot 12 to the hollow part of the bottom of the pocket 14.
- the lower part of the connection element 10 comprises a bowl 24 of shape generally conical, open at the bottom and with a rounded bottom.
- This bowl 24 is used to receive a male connection head 26 also of conical shape, but at a greater inclination than the conicity of the bowl 24.
- This connection head 26 has a rounded top conforming to the curvature of the bottom of the bowl 24 of so as to follow the shape of it.
- An O-ring 28 provided on the top 26a of the head 26 seals when the elements are coupled as shown in FIG. 1.
- the head 26 is mounted on a base 30 which is carried by the bottom 32 of the support for the bag 14. According to one of the features of the device proposed, the base 30 has two horizontal degrees of freedom relative to the support 32.
- the base 30 comprises, for this purpose, a lower cavity 34 with an open bottom, of rectangular or square section and with vertical internal walls.
- the base 30 is engaged by this cavity 34 on a support block 36, integral with the bottom 32 of the support.
- the upper surface of this block 36 is preferably provided with an upper sliding layer 38 which carries the base 30 while allowing relatively easy sliding thereof on the block 36.
- a guide system which maintains it relative to the support block 36.
- a first set of rods 40 is slidably housed in the block 36 and comprises at its opposite ends two pads 42, 44 sliding on the opposite vertical walls of the base 30.
- the studs 46 and 48 act as a stop, preventing the inadvertent lifting of the base 30.
- This base can slide in the direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 1 by relative movements between the pads 42, 44 and guide surfaces 46, 48 of the base.
- a second set of rods 50 is arranged perpendicular to the set of rods 40 in the block 36 and also includes, like these, pads not shown, bearing on the vertical walls not visible in the figure of the base 30.
- the pads of these rods allow a displacement of the base 30 to the left and the right in the figure 1 by sliding the rods 40 in the support block 36.
- each rod of each set of rods 40 and 50 is surrounded by two helical springs 52, 54 bearing respectively on the block 36 and each of the two outer pads 42, 44.
- the sliding of the base 30 in the plane of Figure 1 is made against the action of one of the springs 52, 54 while the sliding in the direction perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1 is made against the action of the springs of the set of rods 50.
- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates these degrees of freedom by arrows defining a rectangle of freedom of movement whose sides are 50 by 100 mm.
- the base 30 further comprises an internal pipe 56 for the admission of the gases for processing the liquid metal contained in the pocket 14 and which is connected to an articulated or flexible pipe 59 of the gas distribution network.
- this pipe 59 has rotary connectors 61 to allow the base 30 to move on the bottom 32 of the bag support.
- the channel 56 opens into a chamber 58 provided in the upper part of the base 30 and in the interior of the connection head 26 and which is extended by an axial passage 60 towards the top 26a of this head.
- this chamber 58 there is an automatic valve for automatically cutting or establishing communication with the pipe 59 of the gas network.
- This valve consists of a piston 62 sliding axially in a guide sleeve 64 which is surrounded by a spring 66.
- This spring 66 applies the piston 62, which is provided with an O-ring 68, against a shoulder defined between the chamber 58 and passage 60 to close the valve.
- the opening of the valve, against the action of the spring 66 is carried out using a plunger 70 disposed in the passage 60 and resting freely on the piston 62.
- the plunger 70 has an appropriate section so as not to block. the passage of gas, for example a cross-shaped section as shown in a medallion.
- the length of the plunger 70 is slightly greater than that of the passage 60 so that its upper end exceeds the top of the head 26 when the valve is closed and that it can be depressed by the installation of the female connection element 10 to open this valve as shown in Figure 1.
- the proposed device uses the movement of the bag to automatically connect to the gas network.
- the descent of the foot 12 in the direction of the base 30 ensures, from the penetration of the head 26 in the bowl 24, a self-centering of these connection elements by sliding of the base 30 on its support.
- the complementary curvatures of the top 26a of the head 26 and of the bottom of the bowl 24 also make it possible to compensate for small misalignments.
- the automatic valve is opened by depressing the plunger 70 as soon as the latter is actuated by the bottom of the bowl 24.
- the connection finally ends with a slight penetration of the female connection element 10 in the foot 12 against the action of the spring 16.
- the coupling elements are the same as those in the embodiment of Figure 1, except that the coil spring 16 has been replaced by a spring discs 80 and that the flat-head piston 62 of the automatic valve has been replaced by a conical piston 82.
- the mounting of the base 84 of the male connection element 26 to ensure two degrees of freedom from the support is carried by two rods 86, 88 which pass through it and which are integral with a housing 92 surrounding the base 84. This base can slide axially on these rods 86, 88 thanks to the presence of sockets balls 90 around each of these rods 86, 88.
- the central position of the base 84 in the housing 92 is ensured by springs 94, 96 arranged on either side of the base 84 and bearing on the housing 92.
- the assembly formed by the base 84 and the housing 92 is carried, in turn, by two superimposed rods 98, 100 passing through this assembly and which are integral with a frame 102 fixed on the floor of the pocket support.
- This sliding of the base 84 and of the housing 92 to the left and to the right in FIG. 3 is facilitated by ball bushings 104, provided around the rods 98 and 100 at the level of the passage through the housing 92.
- the central position of the housing 92 compared to chassis 102 is provided by springs 106 provided at least on one of the rods 98 or 100 on either side of the housing 92 and bearing on the chassis 102.
