Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding closure for a metal melt containing Container with a housing frame which can be attached to a spout of the container, in which a refractory base plate and one on the latter by means of spring elements sealingly compressible refractory arranged in a slide unit Slider plate is included, the slider unit by means of a drive member can be moved back and forth.
  • a known sliding closure according to DE-C2 25 23 928 which contains itself as a molten metal especially for a converter Suitable container, has a slide lock assembly that with known refractory wear parts, namely a slide, one Base plate and an outlet sleeve, is pre-assembled. This pre-assembled The unit is attached to an am using eyebolts and guide bolts Tapping the converter attached frame attached.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a To create a sliding closure according to the type described at the outset, which is essentially simple in an automated operation and can be removed from the container or mounted on it can, and in which the tightness between the plates on the one hand or between the bottom plate and the head part adjoining this, on the other hand is fully guaranteed.

  • This sliding closure 20 has a housing frame 22 in which one stationary refractory base plate 25 with a lower sliding surface 28, a slide plate 26 which can be pressed against the latter and one of these holding slide unit 23 is provided. The latter will pass one to this couplable push rod 29 moved back and forth by a drive element, whereby the slide lock 10 in the open position - as shown - or is displaceable in the closed position.
  • To the slide plate 26 also connects to a refractory pouring sleeve 32 through which the flowing metal melt is passed into the pan or the like. It should also be noted here that the slide closure in the case of converter racking only either the opening or the closing position takes place and therefore no regular pouring of the outflow takes place.
  • the bottom plate 25 has on the top one to its lower sliding surface 28 parallel sliding plane 27 and it is in the direction of this sliding surface 28 stationary, but vertically adjustable in the frame 22 arranged. This enables it to be attached to a container spout 12 Refractory head part 42 can be pressed and forms together with the latter a tight separation point.
  • the base plate 25 is from a cassette 25 'edged, which in the housing frame 22 transversely to the longitudinal extent the plates are adjustable. This arrangement enables this Take away or assemble the housing frame 22 together with the plates 26, 28 and the slide unit 23 from or to the container 10.
  • the housing frame 22 including the slide 26 and the bottom plate 25 below the spout 12 across to the spout extending, attached to the container 10 guide rails 52 longitudinally held. After moving by a defined stroke this housing frame is detached from the container 10. Furthermore, the Housing frame 22 at least one connecting means for releasable coupling with a manipulator, by means of which it is on the guide rails 52 moved and removed from the front of the container 10 or on this can be assembled.
  • the connecting means on the housing frame 22 is formed as a coupling pin 62 3us, which with a on the extension arm of a manipulator attached sleeve in the sense of a bayonet lock can be coupled, which in the coupled state is a rigid connection form.
  • the disk-shaped refractory head part 42 is at the bottom with a flat end face 43, meanwhile on the top with an end face Circular groove 44 provided in which there is an annular extension of the pouring sleeve 11 extends and in between advantageously a hardening mortar is inserted.
  • This head part 42 is covered with a flange 42 ', which in an annular recess 41 in the adapter plate 40 of Fastening means 45 is fixed from below. If something is taken away Sliding lock 20, this head part 42 can also be released and replaced become.
  • the lower flat end surface is 43 of the head part 42 to that of the adapter plate 40 and allowed in that they are with the sliding plane 27 on the top of the bottom plate 25, which also extends beyond the slide frame 22, in contact stands.
  • the refractory base plate 25 as well as the slide plate 26 and the Spout sleeve 32 are otherwise in the conventional manner with one high quality fireproof, e.g. insert made of zircon, which each in a refractory base material and in the latter comprehensive metal bandage is embedded.
  • an actuatable coupling device 30 attached on the adapter plate 40 .
  • This coupling device expediently has 30 a flange part 33 fastened to the adapter plate 40 and one in the latter Swivel-mounted coupling sleeve 34, in which an opening 35 is provided for receiving the push rod 29.
  • On the inside the coupling sleeve 34 a plurality of cams 36 are formed, which in the assembled Condition with one connected to the housing frame 22 Flange 22 'are engaged and for releasably fixing the housing frame serve as a container.
  • Fig.2 and Fig.3 has the container 10 by means of screws or The like attached adapter plate 40 two arranged parallel to each other L-shaped guide rails 52, each with an inner guide track 53, on each of the two long sides of the housing frame 22 a protruding support arm 55 rests.
  • these two support arms 55 are each contain a plurality of spring assemblies 56 arranged side by side.
  • the latter are each a plurality of disc springs 56 and one on the guideway 53 associated guide pin 56 'assigned.
  • the disc springs 56 generate an axial pressure force on a respective guide pin 56 '.
  • the housing frame 22 can by means of a manipulator explained below 80, which can be connected to the coupling pin 62, in Longitudinal direction of the guide rails 52 are removed from the container.
  • the coupling sleeve 34 must initially by means of a manually operated lever 34 'are rotated by 90 ° so that the Push rod 29 is released from the slide unit 23.
  • the Housing frame 22 are shifted to the left along the image plane and once its support arms 55 disengage from the guide rails 52 stand, it can be removed from the container and turned into one of the hot one Converter can be brought to remote assembly site. There you can then the refractory plates in it are replaced.
  • spring packs 56 of the same dimensions are provided. These are gradual staggered, such that the guide pin 56 'of Spring packs 56 form a line with their lower contact surfaces parallel to the bearing surface 53 "of the guideway 53, which oblique or wedge-shaped to the direction of displacement of the housing frame in is arranged at an angle of approximately 1 to 2 degrees.
  • the spring assemblies due to the oblique arrangement of the contact surfaces 56 only shortly before the end position of the inserted housing frame shown 22, i.e. roughly the distance between two spring assemblies.
  • the guideway 53 is also on the entrance side with an additional ramp-shaped bevel 53 'provided that the housing frame is inserted correctly 22 allows in these guide rails.
