Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Strangführung, insbesondere für eine Brammen-Stranggießanlage für Stahl, mit Stützsegmenten, in denen Rahmen angeordnet sind, die gegenüberliegende Reihen von Führungs- und Treibrollen aufweisen und die gegeneinander über Anker gehalten werden.The invention relates to a strand guide, in particular for a slab caster for steel, with support segments in which frames are arranged, which have opposite rows of guide and drive rollers and the are held against each other via anchors.

Aus EP 0 222 732 B1 ist eine Strangführung bekannt mit einer Mehrzahl von Rollen tragenden Stützsegmenten. Die Stützsegmente sind an einem einstückigen Längsträger, insbesondere einem bogenförmig gestalteten Längsträger befestigt. Zur Vermeidung des Rollenversatzes zwischen zwei benachbarten Stützsegmenten sind Traglaschen und Passbolzen vorgesehen, die in einer Weise gefertigt und angeordnet werden, daß dieser Rollenversatz auch beim Ein- und Ausbau vermieden wird. Die Rollensegmente selber sind als geschlossene Einheit fest montiert.EP 0 222 732 B1 discloses a strand guide with a plurality of rollers load-bearing support segments. The support segments are in one piece Side member, in particular an arcuate side member attached. For Avoiding the roll misalignment between two adjacent support segments Support straps and fitting bolts are provided, which are manufactured and arranged in a manner be that this roll misalignment is also avoided during installation and removal. The Roller segments themselves are permanently installed as a closed unit.

Aus EP 0 117 404 B1 ist eine Stützführung in einer Stranggießanlage für Stahl mit zwei gegenüberliegenden Reihen von Führungs- und Treibrollen bekannt, die abschnittsweise an Traversen gelagert sind. Die Kopftraverse ist dabei an Stützen einer an einem Grundrahmen angeordneten Festtraverse durch Zuganker gehalten. Eine weitere Führung der Festtraverse (Unterrahmen) oder der Kopftraverse (Oberrahmen) ist nicht vorgesehen.EP 0 117 404 B1 also includes a support guide in a continuous casting plant for steel two opposite rows of guide and drive rollers are known which are stored in sections on trusses. The head traverse is on supports a fixed crossbar arranged on a base frame is held by tie rods. Another guide for the fixed crossbar (subframe) or the head crossbar (Top frame) is not provided.

Während des Betriebes einer solchen Strangführung, insbesondere von Brammen- und Stranggießanlagen für Stahl, kommt es im wesentlichen durch Rollenschieflauf zu Querkräften im Oberrahmen. Die Folge hiervon ist nicht nur ein erhöhter Verschleiß von Rollen und Rollenlagerungen, die Übertragung der hohen Querkräfte zwischen Ober- und Unterrahmen erfordern entsprechend stark dimensionierte Seitenrahmen. Darüber hinaus kann es zu Formfehlern am Strang kommen, insbesondere zum Schiefstellen der Schmalseiten infolge der Scherkräfte. During the operation of such a strand guide, in particular of slab and Continuous caster for steel, it comes mainly through roller skew Lateral forces in the upper frame. The consequence of this is not just increased wear of rollers and roller bearings, the transfer of high lateral forces between Upper and lower frames require correspondingly dimensioned side frames. In addition, there may be shape errors on the strand, especially the Skewing of the narrow sides due to the shear forces.

Die Erfindung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, die o.g. Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine Strangführung, insbesondere für eine Brammen-Stranggießanlage für Stahl, zu schaffen, die bei einfachem konstruktiven Aufbau spielfrei eine Selbstzentrierung mindestens eines der sich gegenüberliegenden Rahmen der einzelnen Stützsegmente zum Strang sicherstellt.The invention has set itself the goal, the above. Avoid disadvantages and a Strand guidance, especially for a slab caster for steel create a self-centering without play with a simple construction at least one of the opposing frames of the individual support segments to the strand.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Die sich anschließenden Ansprüche beinhalten vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung.The invention achieves this goal by the features of Claim 1. The following claims contain advantageous Developments of the invention.

Erfindungsgemäß werden Lenker vorgesehen, die zueinander konisch unter einem Öffnungswinkel angeordnet sind, und die einenends über Halteelemente am Ende eines Rahmens und anderenends an mindestens einem Fixpunkt befestigt sind.According to the invention, links are provided which are conical to one another under one Opening angles are arranged, and the ends via holding elements at the end a frame and the other end are attached to at least one fixed point.

Bei einer Bogenstranggießanlage sind die Lenker am Oberrahmen befestigt, während das andere Ende am bogenförmigen Längsträger der Stranggießanlage oder vorzugsweise am Unterrahmen befestigt werden. Der Öffnungswinkel der beiden Lenker kann zu bis 60° betragen. Die konische Öffnung wird vorzugsweise in Strangführungsrichtung angeordnet. Hierzu können am Oberrahmen konsolförmige Erweiterungen vorgesehen werden.In a continuous caster, the handlebars are attached to the upper frame while the other end on the arc-shaped longitudinal member of the continuous caster or preferably be attached to the subframe. The opening angle of the two Handlebars can be up to 60 °. The conical opening is preferably in Strand guidance direction arranged. For this purpose, console-shaped on the upper frame Extensions are planned.

Die Verbindung zwischen Lenker und Halterung am Rahmen sind als Gelenke oder als drehfeste Halterungen ausgebildet.The connection between the handlebar and bracket on the frame are as joints or as non-rotatable brackets.

Insbesondere beim Einsatz der drehfesten Halterung werden Lenker verwendet, die als Stangen ausgebildet sind, welche aus einem Zug und Druckkräfte sowie eine seitliche Verformung ertragenden Material aufgebaut sind. Hierzu werden Bündel von stangen- oder leistenförmigen Material benutzt, die einen viereckigen, polygonalen oder auch runden Querschnitt besitzen. Zur Vermeidung von Reibkorrosion zwischen den einzelnen Lenkerelementen werden Zwischenlagen vorgesehen.In particular when using the non-rotatable bracket handlebars are used are designed as rods, which consist of a train and compressive forces and a lateral deformation-bearing material are built up. For this purpose, bundles of rod-shaped or strip-shaped material is used, which has a square, polygonal or also have a round cross-section. To avoid fretting corrosion between intermediate layers are provided for the individual handlebar elements.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung treten keine Querkräfte zwischen Ober- und Unterrahmen auf, so daß auf einen Seitenrahmen verzichtet werden kann. Due to the design according to the invention, no transverse forces occur between upper and subframe so that a side frame can be dispensed with.

Die Eliminierung der Querkräfte erhöht die Betriebssicherheit der Stützsegmente, weil trotz großer Bewegungsfreiheit des gelenken Rahmens ein Verklemmen nicht auftreten kann.The elimination of the transverse forces increases the operational safety of the support segments because not jamming despite great freedom of movement of the articulated frame can occur.

Da voluminöse und steife Seitenrahmen nicht erforderlich sind, wird die seitliche Zugänglichkeit der einzelnen Segmente deutlich verbessert.Since voluminous and rigid side frames are not required, the side Accessibility of the individual segments significantly improved.

Weiterhin werden durch Wegfall aufwendiger Übertragungs- und Linearführungselemente die Herstellkosten gesenkt.Furthermore, elaborate transmission and Linear guide elements reduced manufacturing costs.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung erleichtert auch die Realisierung der dynamischen Maulweitenanpassung während des Gießbetriebes. Dies ist insbesondere bei der sogenannten Softreduktion von Vorteil. Durch den Einsatz von Lenkern wird bei einer Bogenstranggießanlage die Bewegungsfreiheit des Oberrahmens zum Unterrahmen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Freiheitsgrade des Kippens um die horizontalen Achsen, wesentlich erhöht.The configuration according to the invention also facilitates the implementation of the dynamic width adjustment during the casting operation. This is This is particularly advantageous for soft reduction. Through the use of Handlebars is the freedom of movement of a continuous caster Upper frame to the lower frame, especially with regard to the degrees of freedom of the Tilting around the horizontal axes, significantly increased.
