  • the drive axis of the engine and the Lift rod together with its guide parallel to each other to be arranged in the module box and the rotary movement the motor directly onto a ball screw drive and from this in turn directly to the lifting rod transfer.
  • the control accuracy can be further increased when the vertical guide of the lifting rod consists of a ball bearing longitudinal guide and their length is 50 - 80% of the intermediate vessel height (bottom cover layer) is.
  • a handwheel on the spindle of the ball screw drive can be coupled.
  • the Pouring nozzle an emergency slide with a cap assigned.
  • a pouring vessel 1 and 2 is a pouring vessel as an intermediate vessel 2 within a continuous steel caster shown.
  • a continuous casting mold 3 provides a casting mold
  • a pouring nozzle 4 acts with a lifting and lowerable plug 5 together and regulates the steel flow from the intermediate vessel 2 into the continuous casting mold 3.
  • the inflow of steel into the mold 3 is after a predetermined program, e.g. an entertainment program, and / or after a bath level measuring device 7 controlled.
  • the refractory stopper 5 encases the stopper rod 8, which has an arm 9 with a lifting rod 10 is connected.
  • the lifting rod 10 is in one Vertical guide 12 arranged in this example consists of a ball bearing longitudinal guide.
  • On computer controlled electromechanical drive in the Form of a servo motor 13 is together with the lifting rod 10 and its vertical guide 12 in a module box 15 arranged.
  • the module box 15 is on Intermediate vessel 2 with clamping elements 16 interchangeable attached. To ensure easy replacement, are on the module box 15 Suspension devices 17 are provided.
  • the clamping elements 16 are as quick release and centering elements educated. Between the wall 19 of the tundish 2 and the module box 15 is an open air gap 20 arranged.
  • the module box 15 is through a cover 21 sealed dust-proof and via a compressed air connection 22 an air overpressure can be built up.
  • the air pressure is part of an air circulation system 23, which is represented by arrow.
  • the air circulation system 23 in the module box serves as Coolant for the motor 13, a ball screw 27, 28, the lifting rod 10 and the plug support arm 9.
  • a drive axis 25 of the motor 13 is over a flexible, angularly rigid coupling 26 with the ball screw 27 connected.
  • the spindle 27 forms together with a nut 28 a ball screw drive, the nut 28 and the lifting rod 10 over a bridge 29 are rigidly connected. About the bridge 29 becomes the path of the mother 28 directly onto the Transfer lifting rod 10.
  • the drive shaft 25 with the Spindle 27 are parallel and at a short distance from Lift rod 10 arranged in the module box 15.
  • a Handwheel 30 arranged, which can be coupled to the spindle 27 and a height adjustment of the lifting rod 10 allowed if the electrical connection cable to the Engine is unplugged.
  • a signal generator 33 connected to a power failure detected and a computer in the control cabinet 34 reports are further in the electrical Drive supply capacitors arranged whose Capacity for a program-controlled emergency closing movement of the plug is sufficient in the event of a power failure.
  • a plug control device is also a malfunction subjected that come from the refractory side, such as breaking refractory parts on the stopper, breaking or wash out the pouring nozzle etc. order a Leakage of the intermediate vessel in an emergency situation regardless of the stopper control, is an emergency slide controlled by a piston-cylinder unit 36 attached to the intermediate vessel bottom. With a locking block of the emergency slide 36 can Outflow nozzle 4 closed and, if necessary, a pouring tube can be separated at the same time. The Medium for the actuation of the emergency slide is from delivered an accumulator.
  • Intermediate vessels for continuous casting plants are provided with up to eight plugs, each plug its own module box and its own control assigned. If the intermediate vessel from the preheating position in the pouring position over the molds or brought into a filling position near the pouring position, see above the plug drive motor is started by means of electrical connectors 37 to the control cabinet 34 connected. After this connection the Stopper movement from the start of pouring only controlled by electrical signals.
  • Transmission means such as wire, light guide, radio, infrared etc., find application.
