Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a continuous casting mold with two opposite one another Narrow sides and two opposite sides, the narrow sides overlapping long sides, at least one of the narrow sides movable to or away from the other side of the Schmais by an adjusting member is and wherein the adjusting member as two independently operable Hydraulic cylinder units with one cylinder and one relative to the cylinder piston is formed in an adjustment direction.
  • Such a mold is e.g. known from EP 0 613 743 A1. With this mold the narrow side is driven by an electromotive spindle and a Gear adjusted, the inclination angle of the Narrow side can be adjusted.
  • the continuous casting mold of the prior art is not quite optimal in this respect, than several between the electric motor drive and the narrow side mechanical elements are arranged. On the one hand, this causes higher costs, on the other hand, increased maintenance requirements. In addition, the setting accuracy the mold narrow side by the sum of the games of the intermediate one Units (couplings, gears, etc.) limited.
  • a casting device is known from JP-A-59 174 251, in which a Narrow side of the mold via hydraulic cylinder units with one cylinder each is adjustable relative to this adjustable piston.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a continuous casting mold to be available in which a higher setting accuracy can be achieved is.
  • the hydraulic cylinder units have pressure sensors for detecting the hydraulic pressures prevailing in the hydraulic cylinder units are assigned to the hydraulic cylinder units linear displacement are assigned to detect the position of the pistons relative to the cylinders, that signals from linear position sensors, signals from pressure sensors and signals from a higher-level controller is fed to a position control loop, which a hydraulic pump an adjustment signal for actuating the hydraulic cylinder units supplies.
  • the couplings preferably have a coupling clearance below 0.3 mm, e.g. only 0.1 mm.
  • a small clutch play can be achieved that the couplings consist of two coupling halves each, that the hydraulic cylinder units and one coupling half is assigned to the narrow side, that the coupling halves are screwed together along a coupling surface are and that the dome surface of the adjusting device in a different from 90 ° Angle cuts.
  • the position of the narrow side cannot change automatically. If the sprags are also spring-loaded, the adjustment is Piston - or correspondingly the narrow side - only possible if the Clamping bodies are loosened by the hydraulic pressure. If the electrical fails The narrow side is therefore automatically supplied with energy or hydraulic fluid locked in their current position.
  • a continuous casting mold has two opposite one another Narrow sides 1 and two opposite one another Long sides 2 on.
  • the long sides 2 overlap the narrow sides 1.
  • both narrow sides 1 are through Adjustment elements 3 movable towards or away from each other. In principle, however, it is also sufficient if only one of the narrow sides is adjustable.
  • the adjusting member 3 is one Narrow side 1 of two independently operable two Hydraulic cylinder units 4.
  • Each hydraulic cylinder unit 4 has a cylinder 5 and a piston 6, which in the casting direction x seen are arranged one above the other.
  • the hydraulic cylinder units 4 are with the narrow side 1 over separable couplings 7 connected.
  • Each of the clutches 7 consists of two coupling halves 8, 9, one of which is on the narrow side 1 and the associated hydraulic cylinder unit 4 is assigned.
  • the coupling halves can be seen along a dome surface connected to each other, which is the adjustment direction y of the hydraulic cylinder unit 4 intersects at an angle ⁇ different from 90 °.
  • Dome surfaces 10 are preferably designed as screw connections.
  • the hydraulic cylinder units 4 are also spring-loaded clamping bodies 11 assigned. By means of this clamping body 11, the Pistons 6 are locked relative to the cylinders 5. The narrow side 1 can therefore not of when the clamp body 11 is actuated adjust yourself. Due to the spring loading of the clamp body 11 lock the clamp body 11 automatically when the electrical Power supply to the hydraulic cylinder units 4 fails or if e.g. due to a defective hose the hydraulic pressure suddenly falls off.
  • On the Hydraulic pressure can be determined, for example, as deformable is just cast strand, which is in the continuous casting mold located.
  • the pressures detected by the pressure sensors 12 are Position control loops 13 supplied as correction variables. As actual sizes these control loops 13 are the signals from linear position sensors 14 supplied, by means of which the position of the piston 6 relative to the cylinders 5 is detected. Linear position encoder for hydraulic cylinders are known per se, so that a detailed description of this Point is unnecessary.
  • the position control loops 13 are furthermore a setpoint is supplied to the higher-level controller. From the The position control loops determine the difference between the target size and the actual size 13 then taking into account the corresponding Hydraulic cylinder 4 prevailing pressure as a correction quantity Adjustment signal.
  • the adjustment signal is a hydraulic pump 15 supplied, by means of which the corresponding hydraulic cylinder unit 4 can be actuated.
  • the positions of the pistons 6 are relative by the linear displacement sensors 14 to their corresponding cylinders 5 detectable.
  • the relative Adjustment path of the piston 6 can thus directly through the linear position sensor 14 are detected.
  • To make this relative adjustment in an absolute To be able to convert the adjustment of the narrow side 1 is still a Reference point required.
  • To calibrate the position control for the narrow side becomes the narrow side 1 before continuous casting moved away from the other narrow side 1 until it stops at stops 16 abuts. These stops 16 represent the continuous casting mold fixed reference points. Taking into account the on reaching of the stops 16 pending signals of the linear encoder 14 can the signals subsequently transmitted by the linear position sensors 14 converted into an absolute adjustment path for the narrow side 1 become. The position control of the narrow side 1 can therefore on this Way be calibrated.
  • the position control loops 13 on the narrow side 1 also the detected pressures of the other position control circuit 13 of the Narrow side 1 fed. From the difference or the ratio of the Pressures to each other can then be detected whether the narrow side adjustment correct is. For example, if the ratio of the one in Fig. 2 upper pressure sensor 12 detected pressure by the in Fig. 1 lower pressure sensor 12 detected pressure between 1: 1 and 3: 1 there is no change in the angle of attack ⁇ . However, will If the ratio exceeds 3: 1, the angle of attack ⁇ is increased, until the ratio of pressures reaches 2: 1. Becomes conversely, the value falls below 1: 1, the angle of attack ⁇ reduced until the pressure ratio is 2: 1.
