Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing and / or regulating element for the outflow of a metallurgical vessel, in particular for casting steel close to the final dimensions, with a stator and a rotor which can be rotated relative to this, the stator and rotor being provided with interacting sealing surfaces and in the region of the sealing surfaces in have an outflow channel opening through openings which can be made more or less overlapping by rotating the rotor.
  • Inert gas can be supplied to a gas distribution chamber through a gas channel formed in the stator or in the rotor. This is intended to reduce wear on the sealing surfaces and through openings.
  • DE 38 10 302 C2 describes a casting device for the continuous production of metal strip.
  • a controlled gas pressure acts on the surface of the melt in a pouring chamber in order to regulate the bath level.
  • Such a regulation is sluggish because it must act on the entire volume of the melt. No further control option is provided on the pouring nozzle itself.
  • a closing and / or regulating member in which a rotor is rotatably mounted in a stator transversely to the flow direction of the melt.
  • This structure is particularly suitable for strip casting or thin slab casting.
  • an immersion spout is designed as a closing and / or regulating element with a stator and a rotor.
  • a sump-forming chamber is designed in the outflow channel, which widens and smoothes the melt flow for thin slab casting or strip casting.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a closing and / or regulating member of the aforementioned, which, in addition to the mechanical possibility of influencing the melt flow, also gives another possibility of this in order to be able to regulate the melt flow sensitively close to the outflow.
  • a vacuum chamber is provided in the stator and / or in the rotor, which can be connected on the one hand to a vacuum generation unit via a duct line arranged in the stator and / or in the rotor and on the other hand lies above the through-openings and connects to the outflow duct stands.
  • a negative pressure is brought into effect directly in the closing and / or regulating element.
  • the negative pressure can act directly on the outflow channel. However, it is also possible to additionally apply the negative pressure at the sealing gap. It then also has a flow-controlling effect in the area of the through-openings and also sucks any melt that has entered the sealing gap upward into the vacuum chamber, so that such melt cannot escape to the outside. A melt film can then form in the sealing gap under the effect of the negative pressure and form a lubrication film for the rotation of the rotor in the stator.
