Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen und der folgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels.Advantageous refinements of the invention result from the further subclaims and the following description of an embodiment.

Die Figur zeigt ein feuerfestes Formteil als Zufuhrkanal für einen Twin-Roll-Caster mit einem eingesetzten Inneninduktor.The figure shows a fireproof molded part as a feed channel for a twin roll caster with an inserted internal inductor.

Ein in seiner Form an sich bekannter Zufuhrkanal ist ein feuerfestes Formteil (1) aus einem keramischen, kohlenstoffhaltigen Material, das induktiv an ein elektrisches Wechselfeld mit der Folge einer Aufheizung ankoppelbar ist. Der Zufuhrkanal weist einen kanalförmigen Innenraum (2) mit rechteckigem Querschnitt auf. Der Zufuhrkanal ist in einem äußeren Teilbereich mit einem metallischen Außenmantel (3) versehen, wie man ihn häufig beim Einsatz von sogenannten ETA-Wechslern verwendet. Der metallische Außenmantel (3) schirmt also elektromagnetische Felder gegenüber dem Zufuhrkanal ab, so dass der Zufuhrkanal mit einer äußeren Induktionsspule nicht gleichmäßig aufheizbar wäre.A feed channel known in its form is a Refractory molded part (1) made of a ceramic, carbon-containing Material that is inductive to an alternating electrical field can be coupled with the consequence of heating. The Feed channel has a channel-shaped interior (2) rectangular cross section. The feed channel is in one outer part with a metallic outer jacket (3) provided, as is often the case when using so-called ETA changers used. The metallic outer jacket (3) shields electromagnetic fields from the supply channel, so the feed channel with an outer induction coil would not be heated evenly.

In dem in der Figur dargestellten Zustand ist in den Innenraum (2) mit rechteckigem Querschnitt ein Inneninduktor (4) eingeschoben. Der Inneninduktor (4) ist dabei in seinen Abmessungen, insbesondere in seiner Länge dem Innenraum (2) so angepasst, dass er sich möglichst über die gesamte Länge des Innenraums (2) erstreckt. Außerdem ist seine Außengeometrie den Abmessungen des Innenraumes (2) angepasst. In the state shown in the figure is in the interior (2) with an rectangular cross section an internal inductor (4) inserted. The inner inductor (4) is in its Dimensions, in particular the length of the interior (2) adjusted so that it extends over the entire length if possible of the interior (2) extends. In addition, its outer geometry adapted to the dimensions of the interior (2).

Der Inneninduktor (4) weist mehrere gekühlte Induktionsspulen (5) auf, die an einen Generator (6) angeschlossen sind. Der Innenraum (2) ist gegenüber dem Inneninduktor (4) mit einer Schicht (12), beispielsweise einer keramischen Glasur, elektrisch und/oder thermisch isoliert, damit das feuerfeste Formteil (1) nicht mit elektrische Spannung führenden Teilen in Berührung kommt und/oder keine zonale Überhitzung erfolgt.The inner inductor (4) has a number of cooled induction coils (5) a generator (6) are connected. The interior (2) is opposite Internal inductor (4) with a layer (12), for example a ceramic glaze, electrically and / or thermally insulated so that the refractory molded part (1) does not electrical parts come into contact and / or no zonal Overheating occurs.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Außenfläche des Inneninduktors (4) mittels eines Isolationsformteils (7) gegenüber den Oberflächen des Innenraumes (2) elektrisch und/oder thermisch isoliert.In a further embodiment of the invention, the outer surface of the Internal inductor (4) by means of an insulation molding (7) against the surfaces of the interior (2) electrically and / or thermally insulated.

Vorteilhaft ist auch, den Inneninduktor (4) unterschiedlichen Geometrien oder Wandstärken anzupassen, dergestalt, daß verschiedene Abstände zwischen dem Inneninduktor (4) und den Oberflächen der aufzuheizenden Bereiche bestehen. Mit dieser Maßnahme werden unterschiedliche Energiedichten im Formteil (1) erzeugt, was die Gleichmäßigkeit der Aufheizung bei unterschiedlichen Wandstärken verbessert. Das Isolationsformteil (7) ist entsprechend zu gestalten.It is also advantageous that the internal inductor (4) has different geometries or Adjust wall thicknesses in such a way that different distances between the Internal inductor (4) and the surfaces of the areas to be heated exist. With This measure produces different energy densities in the molded part (1), what the uniformity of heating with different wall thicknesses improved. The molded insulation part (7) is to be designed accordingly.

Das Isolationsformteil (7) dient auch der Zentrierung des Inneninduktors (4) im Innenraum (2). Das Isolationsformteil (7) ist auf die Induktionsspule (5) reibschlüssig aufgeschoben, so daß es im Bedarfsfall auswechselbar ist. Die Außengeometrie des Isolationsformteils (7) ist so an den Innenraum (2) angepaßt, daß es mit dem Inneninduktor (4) leicht in den Innenraum (2) einschiebbar und aus dem Innenraum (2) herausziehbar ist. Die Gestaltung kann jedoch auch so getroffen sein, daß zunächst das Isolationsformteil (7) in den Innenraum (2) und dann der Inneninduktor (4) in das Isolationsformteil (7) einzuschieben ist. The molded insulation part (7) also serves to center the inner inductor (4) in the Interior (2). The molded insulation part (7) is on the induction coil (5) slid in place so that it can be replaced if necessary. The The outer geometry of the molded insulation part (7) is adapted to the interior (2), that it can be easily inserted and removed with the inner inductor (4) into the interior (2) the interior (2) can be pulled out. However, the design can also be so be taken that first the molded insulation part (7) in the interior (2) and then the inner inductor (4) is to be inserted into the molded insulation part (7).

Das Isolationsformteil (7) weist oben zur Begrenzung des Einschiebens einen Flansch (8) auf. Unten ist es offen. Bei anderen Anwendungen, z.B. bei Zufuhrkanälen mit seitlichen Ausströmöffnungen kann das Isolationsformteil (7) mittels eines Bodens verschlossen sein.The molded insulation part (7) has a top to limit insertion Flange (8). It's open below. In other applications, e.g. at The insulation molding (7) can be provided with supply channels with lateral outflow openings. be closed by means of a base.

Um den Zufuhrkanal auch in seinem erweiterten Kopfbereich (9) aufzuheizen, ist der Inneninduktor (4) oberhalb des Flansches (8) mit einer zusätzlichen Windung (10) versehen.In order to heat up the supply channel also in its enlarged head area (9) the inner inductor (4) above the flange (8) with an additional turn (10).

Das Isolationsformteil (7) besteht aus einem hochhitzebeständigen, keramischen Fasermaterial oder keramischen Schaummaterial .The molded insulation part (7) consists of a highly heat-resistant, ceramic Fiber material or ceramic foam material.

Es ist nicht notwendig, daß sich das Isolationsformteil (7) über die gesamte Länge des Inneninduktors (4) erstreckt. Es können auch zwei oder mehrere Isolationsformteile verteilt vorgesehen sein.It is not necessary for the insulation molding (7) to extend over the entire length of the inner inductor (4) extends. You can also use two or more Insulated molded parts can be provided distributed.

Das Isolationsformteil (7) bzw. die Isolationsformteile müssen nicht aus dem Innenraum (2) herausziehbar sein. Es ist auch möglich, das Isolationsformteil (7) bzw. die Isolationsformteile als Auskleidung des Innenraums (2) zu gestalten.The molded insulation part (7) or the molded insulation parts do not have to be removed from the Interior (2) can be pulled out. It is also possible to isolate the molded part (7) or to design the molded insulation parts as the lining of the interior (2).

Um zu vermeiden, daß der Zufuhrkanal beim Aufheizen Wärme nach außen abstrahlt, d.h. verliert, kann er mit einer Außenisolierung (11), vorzugsweise aus keramischem Fasermaterial oder keramischem Schaummaterial versehen sein. Diese verbessert die rasche und gleichmäßige Aufheizung des Zufuhrkanals. To prevent the supply duct from heat to the outside when heating emits, i.e. loses, it can, preferably with an external insulation (11) ceramic fiber material or ceramic foam material. This improves the rapid and even heating of the feed channel.

Soll der Zufuhrkanal aufgeheizt werden, dann wird der Inneninduktor (4) mit dem Isolationsformteil (7) in den Innenraum (2) eingeschoben und der Generator (6) wird eingeschaltet. Dadurch wird der Zufuhrkanal im wesentlichen über seinen gesamten Querschnitt rasch und gleichmäßig induktiv aufgeheizt. Nach Erreichen der Solltemperatur wird der Inneninduktor (4) aus dem Zufuhrkanal herausgezogen. Dieser steht dann vorgeheizt für den Gießbetrieb bereit. Der Inneninduktor (4) läßt sich für viele Aufheizvorgänge an vielen Zufuhrkanälen verwenden. Seine Einsatzmöglichkeit ist dadurch vom Verschleiß des Zufuhrkanals unabhängig. Das Isolationsformteil (7) läßt sich, wenn es verschlissen ist, von dem Inneninduktor (4) abziehen und durch ein neues Isolationsformteil ersetzen. Bei unterschiedlichen Querschnitten von Zufuhrkanälen können Isolationsformteile (7) mit entsprechend unterschiedlichen Abmessungen bereitgehalten werden. Es ist dadurch möglich, den Inneninduktor (4) auch bei unterschiedlichen Innenraumgeometrien jeweils zentriert einzuschieben.If the supply duct is to be heated, then the inner inductor (4) is connected to the Insulation molded part (7) inserted into the interior (2) and the generator (6) is switched on. As a result, the feed channel is essentially above its entire cross section heated quickly and evenly inductively. After reaching The target temperature is the internal inductor (4) from the supply channel pulled out. This is then pre-heated and ready for the casting operation. The Internal inductor (4) can be used for many heating processes on many supply channels use. Its use is therefore due to the wear of the feed channel independently. The molded insulation part (7) can, if it is worn, by the Pull off the inner inductor (4) and replace it with a new molded insulation part. at different cross-sections of supply channels can be used to form insulation parts (7) with different dimensions. It is This makes it possible to use the inner inductor (4) even with different Insert interior geometries centered.
