Das Mittel zur Feststellung der Banddicke ist insbesondere ein radiometrisch arbeitendes Meßgerät. In einer Abwandlung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann das radiometrisch arbeitende Meßgerät mit einem weiteren Regler verbunden sein, der mit Stellantrieben von einem unterhalb des Kühlbandes angeordneten, höhenverstellbaren Stützelement verbunden ist. Dieses Stützelement liegt insbesondere unterhalb der Gießdüse und kann mit zur Steuerung der Banddicke herangezogen werden.The means for determining the strip thickness is in particular a radiometric measuring device.

Das vorbeschriebene Verfahren zum Betrieb einer Gießeinrichtung kann in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, ausgehend von der zuvor beschriebenen gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gekennzeichnet sein, daß der Abstand der Gießdüse mittels Staudruckmessung eines aus einer Meßöffnung in der Ebene in der Austrittsöffnung austretenden Gasstrahles erfaßt, ein dem Meßwert des Staudruckes entsprechendes Signal einem Regler zugeführt wird und nach Vergleich mit einem Sollwert, der den Abstand der Düse vom Kühlband charakterisiert, an den Verteiler angreifende Stellmittel in Sinne einer Konstanthaltung des Meßwertes bzw. des Abstandes Gießdüse zur Kühlbandoberfläche betätigt wird.The above-described method for operating a pouring device can be characterized in a further embodiment of the invention, starting from the previously described generic type, in that the distance of the pouring nozzle is measured by means of a dynamic pressure measurement of a gas jet emerging from a measuring opening in the plane in the outlet opening, a the measured value of Signal corresponding to the dynamic pressure is fed to a controller and, after comparison with a target value which characterizes the distance of the nozzle from the cooling belt, actuating means acting on the distributor are actuated in the sense of keeping the measured value constant or the distance between the casting nozzle and the cooling belt surface.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Gießeinrichtung zum kontinuierlichen Herstellen von Metallband 19, bestehend aus dem endlosen Kühlband 9, das über Transportrollen 20, 21 geführt und umlaufend angetrieben wird. Oberhalb des Kühlbandes 9 ist eine Kühl- bzw. Glättrolle 1 angeordnet, die durch Stellzylinder 22 in ihrer Lage zum Kühlband 9 veränderbar ist. Das Kühlband 9 einschließlich der Transportrollen 20, 21 ist auf einem Rahmen 2 gelagert, der in der Neigung zur Horizontalen verstellbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Rahmen 2 an einer Seite gelenkig gelagert, mit einer Gelenkachse 4, die sich quer zur Bandabzugsrichtung erstreckt und an der gegenüberliegenden Seite auf vertikal angeordneten hydraulisch betriebenen Stellzylindern 16 ruht. Mit 24 ist eine Gasquelle bezeichnet, die an die Auslaufkammer 3˝ angeschlossen ist.Fig. 1 shows a casting device for the continuous production of metal strip 19, consisting of the endless cooling belt 9, which is guided over transport rollers 20, 21 and driven in rotation. A cooling or smoothing roller 1 is arranged above the cooling belt 9 and its position relative to the cooling belt 9 can be changed by actuating cylinders 22. The cooling belt 9 including the transport rollers 20, 21 is mounted on a frame 2 which is adjustable in the inclination to the horizontal. For this purpose, the frame 2 is articulated on one side, with an articulated axis 4, which extends transversely to the tape take-off direction and rests on the opposite side on vertically arranged hydraulically operated actuating cylinders 16. With 24 a gas source is designated, which is connected to the outlet chamber 3˝.

Innerhalb des Rahmens 2 ist das Verteilergefäß 3 ebenfalls in der Lage verstellbar gelagert. Das Verteilergefäß 3 besteht aus einer Einlaufkammer 3′ und aus einer Auslaufkammer 3˝. An der Auslaufkammer 3˝ ist die Gießdüse 7 angeordnet. Die Ausgießkammer 3 ist oberhalb des Schmelze gasdicht verschlossen. Der als Doppelkammergefäß ausgebildete Verteiler 3 wird in die Bereiche Eingießkammer 3′ und Ausgießkammer 3˝ durch eine Mittenwand 23 getrennt, die von oben in den Verteiler bis in die Schmelze hineinragt.Within the frame 2, the distribution vessel 3 is also adjustable in position. The distributor vessel 3 consists of an inlet chamber 3 'and an outlet chamber 3˝. At the outlet chamber 3˝, the pouring nozzle 7 is arranged. The pouring chamber 3 is sealed gas-tight above the melt. The distributor 3, which is designed as a double-chamber vessel, is separated into the areas of the pouring chamber 3 'and the pouring chamber 3' by a central wall 23 which projects from above into the distributor and into the melt.

Gemäß Fig. 2 ist der den Verteiler 3 tragende, verfahrbare Wagen 6 auf dem Rahmen 2 gelagert. Der Verteiler 3 ist mittels Hydraulikzylinder 13 höhenverstellbar. Der Hydraulikzylinder 13 ist in einen Regelkreis einbezogen, der den Regler R1 und eine Staudruckmessung eines an der Gießdüse 7 austretenden Gasstrahles umfaßt, wie in Fig. 3 näher dargestellt. Hier ist in der Ebene der Düsenaustrittsöffnung 8, die einen Neigungswinkel 10 zum Kühlband 9 einschließt, das Abstandsmeßgerät 11 mit der Meßöffnung 11′ an bzw. in der der Bandeinlaufseite zugeordneten Wand der Gießdüse 7 angeordnet. Der Staudruck des bei 11′ austretenden Gases als Maß für den Abstand der Gießdüse 7 vom Kühlband 9 wird dem Regler R1 zugeführt. Der Regler R1 steuert den Hydraulikzylinder 13 im Sinne einer Konstanthaltung des Abstandes der Gießdüse 7 von der Oberfläche des Kühlbandes 9.2, the movable carriage 6 carrying the distributor 3 is mounted on the frame 2. The distributor 3 can be adjusted in height by means of a hydraulic cylinder 13. The hydraulic cylinder 13 is included in a control circuit which includes the regulator R1 and a dynamic pressure measurement of a gas jet emerging at the casting nozzle 7, as shown in more detail in FIG. 3. Here, in the plane of the nozzle outlet opening 8, which includes an angle of inclination 10 to the cooling belt 9, the distance measuring device 11 with the measuring opening 11 'is arranged on or in the wall of the casting nozzle 7 assigned to the belt inlet side. The dynamic pressure of the gas emerging at 11 'as a measure of the distance of the pouring nozzle 7 from the cooling belt 9 is fed to the controller R1. The controller R1 controls the hydraulic cylinder 13 in the sense of keeping the distance of the pouring nozzle 7 from the surface of the cooling belt 9 constant.

Weiter ist in Fig. 2 der Gießdüse 7 in Bandlaufrichtung unmittelbar nachgeordnet ein Dickenmeßgerät 14 zur Feststellung der Dicke des erzeugten Metallbandes 19. Das Dickenmaßgerät arbeitet nach der Durchstrahlungsmethode und weist demgemäß Sender und Empfänger auf, die über bzw. unter dem Band angeordnet sind. Das Meßgerät 14 ist über den Regler R2 mit der drucksteuerbaren Gasquelle 24 verbunden. Über den Gasdruck in der Ausgießkammer 3˝ kann der Badspiegelstand der Schmelze 25 geregelt werden und damit die Ausflußmenge des aus der Gießdüse 7 austretenden Metalles. In Abhängigkeit von der Geometrie des Verteilers 3, also der Ausbildung als Doppelkammer der Lage der Gießdüse 7 und der Lage der Unterkante der Mittenwand 23, wird die "Gasquelle" als Anschluß an eine Unterdruckkammer betrieben. Dadurch ist es möglich, in Abstimmung mit der in die Eingießkammer fließenden Schmelzenmenge den Höhenstand der Schmelze so zu regulieren, daß für den Schmelzenfluß in der Gießdüse nur der in der Eingießkammer vorhandene ferrostatische Druck maßgeblich wirkt. Das Meßgerät 14 steht ferner mit einem weiteren Regler R4 in Verbindung, der Stellmittel zur Beeinflussung des Abstandes von unterhalb des Kühlbandes 9 angeordneten Stützelementen 18 trägt. Die Stützelemente 18 in Form einer durchgehenden oder auch aus einzelnen Abschnitten bestehenden Rolle sind im Bereich der Austrittsöffnung der Gießdüse 7 angeordnet. Durch die steuerbare Lage der Stützelemente 18 ist ebenfalls eine Beeinflussung der Dicke des zu erzeugenden Bandes 19 möglich. Für den Fall, daß das Stützelement 18 aus mehreren Einzelrollen besteht, sind natürlich eine entsprechende Anzahl von Stellelementen 15 erforderlich. Diese Einzelheit ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Fig. 4 zeigt die Gießdüse 7 mit unterhalb des Bandes 9 angeordneten Einzelrollen 181, 182, 183. Dabei ist jeder Rolle ein entsprechendes Stellmittel 171, 172, 173 zugeordnet, die jeweils mit einem eigenen Regler R41, R42, R43 verbunden sind. Eine derartige Aufgliederung der Stützelemente macht es natürlich erforderlich, daß auch eine entsprechende Anzahl von Dickenmeßgeräten 14 vorhanden ist, so daß jedem Dickenmeßgerät 14 eine entsprechende Stützrolle zugeordnet ist. Durch diese Aufteilung ist es möglich, eine feinere Einstellung und Beeinflussung der Banddicke über die Bandbreite zu erzielen.Furthermore, in FIG. 2, the pouring nozzle 7 is immediately downstream of a thickness measuring device 14 in the direction of strip travel for determining the thickness of the metal strip 19 produced. The thickness measuring device works according to the radiographic method and accordingly has transmitters and receivers which are arranged above or below the strip. The measuring device 14 is connected to the pressure-controllable gas source 24 via the regulator R2. The bath level of the melt 25 can be regulated via the gas pressure in the pouring chamber 3˝ and thus the amount of outflow from the pouring nozzle 7 leaking metal. Depending on the geometry of the distributor 3, ie the design as a double chamber, the position of the pouring nozzle 7 and the position of the lower edge of the middle wall 23, the “gas source” is operated as a connection to a vacuum chamber. This makes it possible to regulate the level of the melt in coordination with the amount of melt flowing into the pouring chamber so that only the ferrostatic pressure present in the pouring chamber has a decisive effect on the melt flow in the pouring nozzle. The measuring device 14 is also connected to a further controller R4, which carries adjusting means for influencing the distance from the support elements 18 arranged below the cooling belt 9. The support elements 18 in the form of a continuous roll or a roll consisting of individual sections are arranged in the region of the outlet opening of the pouring nozzle 7. The controllable position of the support elements 18 also makes it possible to influence the thickness of the band 19 to be produced. In the event that the support element 18 consists of several individual rollers, a corresponding number of adjusting elements 15 are of course required. This detail is shown in Fig. 4. 4 shows the pouring nozzle 7 with individual rollers 181, 182, 183 arranged below the belt 9. Each roller is assigned a corresponding actuating means 171, 172, 173, each of which is connected to its own controller R41, R42, R43. Such a breakdown of the support elements naturally makes it necessary for a corresponding number of thickness measuring devices 14 to also be present, so that each thickness measuring device 14 is assigned a corresponding supporting roller. This division makes it possible to achieve a finer adjustment and influencing of the strip thickness over the strip width.

Desweiteren ist in Fig. 2 ein zusätzlicher Regelkreis dargestellt, der die Bandgeschwindigkeit des Kühlbandes 9 erfaßt, die Bandgeschwindigkeit einem Regler R3 zuführt und auf einen Stellzylinder 16 wirkt, mit dessen Hilfe die Neigung des Gießbandes in Abhängigkeit von der Bandgeschwindigkeit geregelt werden kann.Furthermore, an additional control circuit is shown in FIG. 2, which detects the belt speed of the cooling belt 9, feeds the belt speed to a controller R3 and acts on an actuating cylinder 16, with the aid of which the inclination of the casting belt can be regulated as a function of the belt speed.
