Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Die Erfindung betrifft einen kippbaren Lichtbogenofen, bei dem ein Ofengefäß und ein Portal für eine Elektrodenhub- und Schwenkvorrichtung auf einer Plattform einer mittels einer Kippvorrichtung kippbaren Ofenwiege angeordnet sind, die drei im Abstand voneinander angeordnete, jeweils auf einer Ablaufbahn ablaufende parallele Wiegenkufen enthält, wobei das Ofengefäß auf einem zwischen zwei Wiegenkufen liegenden ersten Plattformteil (Gefäßplattformteil) und das Portal auf einem separaten außerhalb dieser Wiegenkufen liegenden zweiten Plattformteil (Portalplattformteil) angeordnet ist, der durch die Kippvorrichtung synchron mit dem das Ofengefäß tragenden Gefäßplattformteil kippbar ist.The invention relates to a tiltable arc furnace, in which a furnace vessel and a Portal for an electrode lifting and swiveling device on a platform of a a tilting furnace cradle are arranged, the three at a distance from each other arranged, parallel weighing runners each running on a runway contains, the furnace vessel on a first lying between two cradle runners Platform part (vascular platform part) and the portal on a separate outside of this Cradle skid lying second platform part (portal platform part) is arranged, the by the tilting device in synchronism with the vessel platform part carrying the furnace vessel is tiltable.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Von den verschiedensten Bauarten für Lichtbogenöfen hat sich bei modernen Öfen die Variante mit gemeinsamer Ofenbühne bzw. Ofenplattform für Gefäß und Portal weitgehend durchgesetzt. Die Ofenplattform trägt also auch das Portal mit den Elektrodenführungssäulen. dem Deckelhubwerk und den dazugehörenden Schwenk- und Antriebsmechanismen. Der gesamte Ofen ist mittels einer Kippvorrichtung, z. B. Zylinder über eine Wiege, kippbar..Dabei werden die Wiegenkufen auf einer Ablaufbahn geführt. Der Ofen hat üblicherweise zwei Wiegenkufen und somit zwei Ablaufbahnen, die parallel zur Kipprichtung auf stabilen Fundamenten stehen. Die Geometrie von Wiege und Ablaufbahn bestimmt die Kippbewegung des Ofengefäßes. Die zwischen Gefäß und Portal liegende Hauptablaufbahn hat wegen des überhängenden Portalteils ca. 60 % bis 70 % der gesamten Vertikallast zu tragen.Modern furnaces have a wide variety of designs for arc furnaces Variant with a common furnace platform or furnace platform for the vessel and portal largely enforced. The furnace platform also carries the portal with the electrode guide columns. the lid lifting mechanism and the associated swivel and drive mechanisms. The entire furnace is by means of a tilting device, e.g. B. cylinder over a Cradle, tiltable .. The cradle runners are guided on a runway. The oven usually has two cradle runners and thus two runways that are parallel to the tilt direction stand on stable foundations. The geometry of the cradle and runway determines the tilting movement of the furnace vessel. The one between the vessel and the portal Main runway has about 60% to 70% of the total because of the overhanging portal part Bear vertical load.

Durch die FR-855 303 A ist ein kippbarer Lichtbogenofen bekannt geworden, bei dem der überhängende. das Portal tragende Teil der Plattform an der Außenseite durch einen dritten Wiegesektor unterstützt ist, so daß sich die durchgehende Wiegenplattform auf drei parallelen Wiegesektoren abstützt. Dies führt zu einer statisch unbestimmten Lasteinleitung.FR-855 303 A has disclosed a tilting arc furnace in which the overhanging. part of the platform supporting the portal on the outside by a third weighing sector is supported, so that the continuous weighing platform on three parallel weighing sectors. This leads to a statically indefinite load transfer.

Um den Lagersitz für das Portal zu bearbeiten sind Spezialmaschinen erforderlich, denn diese Bearbeitung kann wegen möglichen Verzugs erst nach dem Schweißen vorgenommen werden.Special machines are required to machine the bearing seat for the portal, because this processing can only be carried out after welding because of possible delay become.

Während des Ofenbetriebes kann es wegen unterschiedlicher Wärmebeaufschlagung und Spannungen innerhalb der Plattform zu Verzug kommen. Das hat beispielsweise einen negativen Einfluß auf die Korrektheit der Elektrodenfahrwege und deren Regelung. Eine Korrektur des Verzugs ist ohne kostspielige und zeitraubende Montage von Gefäß, Portal und Bühne nicht möglich.During operation of the furnace, it can be due to different heat loads and Tensions within the platform are delayed. For example, that has one negative influence on the correctness of the electrode travel paths and their regulation. A Correction of the warp is without costly and time-consuming assembly of the vessel or portal and stage not possible.

Bei der Modernisierung bestehender Öfen wird es nötig, ein neues Portal für eine bessere und schnellere Elektrodenregelung zu installieren. Das Richten und Anpassen der Plattform ist dann sehr aufwendig.When modernizing existing furnaces, it becomes necessary to create a new portal for a better one and to install faster electrode control. Aligning and adjusting the platform is then very expensive.

Durch die DE-AS 11 08 830 ist ein kippbarer Lichtbogenofen bekannt geworden, bei dem das Elektrodenportal auf einer zur Ofenwiege separaten Wiege angeordnet ist. die entweder durch einen ersten Bolzen mit der Ofenwiege gekoppelt werden kann - dies ist vorgesehen für die kleinen Kippbewegungen beim Abschlacken - oder die mittels eines zweiten Bolzens an einem ortsfesten Lager fixiert werden kann. Die letztgenannte Möglichkeit ist vorgesehen, um zu verhindern, daß bei starken Kippbewegungen des Ofengefäßes beim Abstechen die Elektroden mitgekippt werden müssen, was zu Elektrodenbrüchen führt. Zum Abstechen werden also vorher die Elektroden aus dem Gefäß gezogen und die separate Wiege am ortsfesten Lager mittels des zweiten Bolzens fixiert.From DE-AS 11 08 830 a tilting arc furnace is known in which the electrode portal is arranged on a cradle separate from the furnace cradle. the either can be coupled to the furnace cradle by a first bolt - this is intended for the small tilting movements when deslagging - or that by means of a second bolt can be fixed to a fixed bearing. The latter possibility is provided in order to prevent the furnace vessel from being strongly tilted when tapping the electrodes must be tilted, which leads to electrode breaks leads. For tapping, the electrodes are pulled out of the vessel beforehand and the separate cradle fixed to the fixed bearing by means of the second bolt.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Gemäß der Erfindung wird ein kippbarer Lichtbogenofen der einleitend genannten Art so ausgestaltet, daß die beiden Plattformteile durch wenigstens ein Scharniergelenk miteinander verbunden sind, dessen Drehachse parallel zur Schnittlinie zwischen einer Plattformebene und der Ebene, in der eine Wiegenkufe liegt, verläuft.According to the invention, a tiltable arc furnace of the type mentioned in the introduction configured that the two platform parts by at least one hinge joint are connected, the axis of rotation parallel to the cutting line between a Platform level and the level in which a cradle skid lies, runs.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung kann bei bestehenden Öfen realisiert werden, wenn beispielsweise das Portal erneuert werden muß. Die Stillstandszeiten können dann wesentlich verringert werden. Es ist auch ohne Probleme möglich, zunächst die Plattform mit dem Portal und später, zeitlich verschoben, die Plattform mit dem Ofengefäß umzubauen. Wird die erfindungsgemäße Lösung bei einer Neuinstallation verwirklicht, ist das spätere Auswechseln von Portal und/oder Gefäß wesentlich einfacher.The solution according to the invention can be implemented in existing furnaces if, for example the portal must be renewed. The downtimes can then be significant be reduced. It is also possible to start with the platform without any problems Portal and later, postponed, to rebuild the platform with the furnace vessel. Becomes the solution according to the invention implemented in a new installation is the later one Replacing the portal and / or vessel is much easier.

An der Portalplattform kann eine zusätzliche Kippvorrichtung angebracht werden, die mit der Hauptkippvorrichtung synchron arbeitet.An additional tilting device can be attached to the portal platform the main tilting device works synchronously.

Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays of Carrying Out the Invention

In den Fig. ist mit 1 ist der Gefäßplattformteil bezeichnet, auf dem das Ofengefäß 2 angeordnet ist, mit 3 der Portalplattformteil, auf dem das Portal 4 angeordnet ist. Die Drehachse 5 des Portals 4 ist exzentrisch zu den Elektrodentragarmen 6 angeordnet, die die Elektroden 7 tragen. 8 stellt einen separaten Zapfen zum Anheben und Ausschwenken des Gefäßdeckels 9 dar. 10 ist die Arbeitstür und 11 ein exzentrischer Bodenabstich. Die Plattformteile 1 und 3 sind durch eine Fuge 12 getrennt und durch Scharniergelenke 13 verbunden. Mit 14 ist ein Anschlag bezeichnet.In the figures, 1 denotes the vessel platform part on which the furnace vessel 2 is arranged with 3 the portal platform part on which the portal 4 is arranged. The The axis of rotation 5 of the portal 4 is arranged eccentrically to the electrode support arms 6 which wear the electrodes 7. 8 provides a separate pin for lifting and swiveling of the vessel lid 9. 10 is the work door and 11 is an eccentric floor cut. The Platform parts 1 and 3 are separated by a joint 12 and by hinge joints 13 connected. 14 is a stop.

In der Frontansicht nach Fig. 2 ist zusätzlich das Lager 15 für das Portal erkennbar, ebenso die beiden Wiegenkufen 16 mit den zugehörigen Ablaufbahnen 17 für den Gefäßplattformteil 1, die auf Fundamenten 18 befestigt sind. Der Portalplattformteil 3 stützt sich auf einer der Wiegenkufen 16 und einer weiteren Wiegenkufe 20 mit einer Ablaufbahn 21 ab. Die Ablaufbahn 21 steht auf einem Fundament 22. Mit 23 sind flexible Kabel für die Stromzufuhr bezeichnet.2, the bearing 15 for the portal can also be seen, likewise the two cradle runners 16 with the associated run-off tracks 17 for the vascular platform part 1, which are attached to foundations 18. The portal platform part 3 is supported on one of the cradle runners 16 and a further cradle runners 20 with a run-off track 21 from. The runway 21 is on a foundation 22. With 23 are flexible cables for the Power supply designated.

Die perspektivische Darstellung nach Fig. 3 läßt die Ausbildung und Anordnung der Scharniergelenke 13 sowie die Lage des Anschlages 14 erkennen.3 shows the design and arrangement of the Recognize hinge joints 13 and the position of the stop 14.

Die Drehachse 19 der Scharniergelenke 13 verläuft parallel zur Schnittlinie zwischen einer Plattformebene, also beispielsweise der durch die Oberseite der Gefäßplattform 1 gebildete Ebene und der Ebene, in der eine Wiegenkufe 16 bzw. 20 liegt. Bei linearen Ablaufbahnen 17 bzw. 21 verläuft damit die Drehachse 19 parallel zu diesen Ablaufbahnen, wenn sich die Plattform in der Horizontallage befindet.The axis of rotation 19 of the hinge joints 13 runs parallel to the line of intersection between one Platform level, for example that formed by the top of the vascular platform 1 Level and the level in which a cradle skid 16 or 20 lies. With linear runways 17 and 21 thus the axis of rotation 19 runs parallel to these run-off tracks, when the platform is in the horizontal position.

Die Fig. 3 bis 5 zeigen, daß die Scharniergelenke 13 benachbart zu den Unterkanten 24 bzw. 25 der einander zugewandten Randseiten 26 bzw. 27 der Plattformteile 1 bzw. 3 angeordnet sind. Die Scharniergelenke 13 sind durch ineinandergreifende, mit Ösen 28 bzw. 29 versehene laschenförmige Vorsprünge 30 bzw. 31 gebildet, die an den einander zugewandten Randseiten 26 bzw. 27 der Plattformteile 1 bzw. 3 angebracht und durch Drehbolzen 32 drehbar miteinander verbunden sind.3 to 5 show that the hinge joints 13 adjacent to the lower edges 24th and 25 of the mutually facing edge sides 26 and 27 of the platform parts 1 and 3 are arranged. The hinge joints 13 are through interlocking, with eyelets 28th and 29 provided tab-shaped projections 30 and 31 formed on the each other facing edge sides 26 and 27 of the platform parts 1 and 3 attached and by Pivot bolts 32 are rotatably connected to one another.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die beiden Scharniergelenke 13 in den äußeren Bereichen der Randseite 26 bzw. 27, d. h. in der Nähe der Seitenkanten 33 und 34 der Randseiten vorgesehen, während sich der Anschlag 14 im mittleren Bereich befindet. Der Anschlag 14 wird, wie die Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen, durch gegenüberliegende Anschlagstücke 35 und 36 gebildet, deren Anschlagflächen im Ofenbetrieb, d. h. wenn der Gefäßdeckel 9 auf dem Ofengefäß 2 aufliegt, einen Abstand von 1 bis 2 mm aufweisen. Durch diesen Spalt ist eine statisch definierte Lastaufteilung auf die drei Fundamente über die drei Wiegenkufen 16 und 20 gewährleistet. Um die bei Anheben des Gefäßdeckels 9 durch die Lastverlagerung auf den Portalplattformteil 3 verursachte Durchbiegung zu begrenzen, ist der Anschlag 14 vorgesehen. Er befindet sich benachbart zu den Oberkanten 37 bzw. 38 der einander zugewandten Randseiten 26 bzw. 27 der Plattformteile 1 bzw. 3 etwa im mittleren Bereich der Randseiten 26 bzw. 27.In the exemplary embodiment, the two hinge joints 13 are in the outer regions the edge side 26 or 27, d. H. near the side edges 33 and 34 of the edge sides provided while the stop 14 is in the central region. The Stop 14 is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, by opposite stop pieces 35 and 36 formed, the abutment surfaces in furnace operation, d. H. if the vessel lid 9 rests on the furnace vessel 2, have a distance of 1 to 2 mm. Through this Gap is a statically defined load distribution over the three foundations over the three Weighing skids 16 and 20 guaranteed. In order to lift the vessel lid 9 through the Limit the load shift to the portal platform part 3 caused deflection the stop 14 is provided. It is located adjacent to the top edges 37 and 38, respectively the mutually facing edge sides 26 and 27 of the platform parts 1 and 3 approximately in middle area of the edge pages 26 and 27.

Mittels einer in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellten Kippvorrichtung. die am Gefäßportalteil 1 angreift, läßt sich die gesamte Plattform kippen. In diesem Fall müssen die Drehbolzen 32 der Scharniergelenke 13 die zum Mitkippen des Portalplattformteils 3 erforderlichen Kräfte übertragen. Hierbei und auch im gekippten Zustand werden im Scharniergelenk Kräfte in Achsrichtung der Drehbolzen wirksam. Die Scharniergelenke 13 sind deshalb so ausgebildet, daß die laschenförmigen Vorsprünge 31 in paarweise angeordnete laschenförmige Vorsprünge 30 eingreifen. Hierbei muß allerdings wegen der unterschiedlichen Wärmeausdehnungen von Gefäßplattformteil 1 und Portalplariformteil 3 ein entsprechendes Spiel in Achsrichtung der Drehbolzen 32 berücksichtigt werden. Vorzugsweise wird nur eines der beiden Scharniergelenke als sogenanntes Festlager ausgebildet, d. h. als Lager, bei dem die Verschiebbarkeit in Achsrichtung des Drehbolzens 32 verhindert ist, während das andere Scharniergelenk als Gleitlager ausgebildet ist, bei dem die Bewegung in Achsrichtung des Drehbolzens 32 nicht begrenzt ist. By means of a tilting device, not shown in the drawings. that on the vascular portal part 1 attacks, the entire platform can be tilted. In this case the pivot pins 32 of the hinge joints 13, which are required to tilt the portal platform part 3 Transfer forces. Here and also in the tilted state are in the hinge joint Forces acting in the axial direction of the pivot pins. The hinge joints 13 are therefore formed so that the tab-shaped projections 31 arranged in pairs engage tab-shaped projections 30. However, because of the different Thermal expansion of the vascular platform part 1 and portal platform part 3 is a corresponding one Game in the axial direction of the pivot pin 32 are taken into account. Preferably if only one of the two hinge joints is designed as a so-called fixed bearing, d. H. as a bearing in which the displaceability in the axial direction of the pivot pin 32nd is prevented, while the other hinge joint is designed as a plain bearing, in which the movement in the axial direction of the pivot pin 32 is not limited.

Bei dem beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel wird die relative Lage der beiden Plattformteile in Achsrichtung der Drehbolzen 32 durch Seitenanschläge 39 und 40 festgelegt, zwischen die das Anschlagstück 36 eingreift. Da sich die durch die Seitenanschläge 39 und 40 sowie das Anschlagstück 36 bewirkte Führung zwischen den Plattformteilen 1 und 3 in der Mitte zwischen den Plattformteilen befindet, wirken sich hier unterschiedliche Längenänderungen bei unterschiedlicher thermischer Belastung der beiden Plattformteile minimal aus. Die Führung kann somit mit einem sehr kleinen Spiel von einigen Zehntel Millimetern eingestellt werden. Zur Einstellung dieses Spiels, wie auch des Abstandes zwischen den Anschlagstücken 35 und 36 dienen Justierbleche 41.In the described embodiment, the relative position of the two platform parts fixed in the axial direction of the pivot pins 32 by side stops 39 and 40, between which the stop piece 36 engages. Since the side stops 39 and 40 and the stop piece 36 caused guidance between the platform parts 1 and 3 located in the middle between the platform parts, different appear here Changes in length with different thermal loads of the two platform parts minimal. The lead can therefore be achieved with a very small game of a few tenths Millimeters can be set. To set this game, as well as the distance adjusting plates 41 serve between the stop pieces 35 and 36.

Bei dem beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist nur eine Kippvorrichtung im Bereich der Gefäßplattform 1 vorgesehen, so daß die Portalplattform 3 über die Scharniergelenke 13 und die Führung durch die Seitenanschläge 39 und 40 mitgekippt werden muß.
