Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum Verhindern einer unerwünschten Abkühlung insbesondere der Bandkantenbereiche eines Gußstranges durch mit diesem aus der Bodenöffnung einer Sekundärkühlkammer austretendes Laufwasser.The invention relates to a method and a device for preventing undesired cooling, in particular of the strip edge areas of a cast strand through with this from the bottom opening of a secondary cooling chamber escaping running water.

Aus dem Betrieb von Stranggießanlagen für Dünnbrammen ist es bekannt, daß beim Austritt des Gußstranges aus der Sekundärkühlkammer seitlich neben dem Strang Laufwasser austritt und dabei eine unerwünscht intensive Unterkühlung der Strangkanten verursacht. Dieser Effekt wird um so stärker, je breiter das Gießformat und je größer die Gießgeschwindigkeit ist.From the operation of continuous casting plants for thin slabs, it is known that when the cast strand emerges from the secondary cooling chamber to the side of the Strand running water emerges and an undesirably intense hypothermia Strand edges caused. The wider the casting format, the stronger this effect becomes and the higher the casting speed.

Bei einer Stranggießanlage für Brammen entsprechend der DE-OS 2 208 928, bei welcher der Strang kontinuierlich aus einer wassergekühlten Kokille nach unten ausgezogen wird und durch eine Stütz- und Führungseinrichtung mit Rollen geführt wird, ist vorgesehen, daß ein Teil der Kühlvorrichtung von Flachstrahldüsen gebildet ist, die parallel zur Oberfläche des Stranges, das heißt zur Breitseite der Bramme im Abstand von dieser angeordnet sind, wobei ihre Längsachse parallel zu den Achsen der Rollen verlaufen. Weiterhin sieht die bekannte Strangießanlage vor, daß die Flachstrahldüsen im Bereich des Brammenrandes angeordnet sind und vorzugsweise an beiden Brammenrändern einander versetzt gegenüber liegen.In a continuous caster for slabs according to DE-OS 2 208 928, at which the strand continuously from a water-cooled mold down is pulled out and guided by a support and guide device with rollers is provided that part of the cooling device of flat jet nozzles is formed, which is parallel to the surface of the strand, that is to the broad side of the Slabs are spaced from this, with their longitudinal axis parallel to the axes of the rollers. Furthermore, the well-known continuous caster before that the flat jet nozzles are arranged in the area of the slab edge and preferably on both slab edges offset from each other.

Bei dieser Stranggießanlage mit einer bogenförmigen Stütz- und Führungseinrichtung zur Umlenkung des Stranges aus im wesentlichen vertikaler Richtung in im wesentlichen horizontale Richtung ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die Kühlvorrichtung im Bereich der Umlenkung, das heißt auf etwa 1/3 bis 2/3 der Längserstreckung der Stütz- und Führungseinrichtung aus Flachstrahldüsen besteht. Insbesondere soll die Kühleinrichtung auch an der Unterseite der Bramme aus Flachstrahldüsen bestehen.In this continuous caster with an arcuate support and guide device for deflecting the strand from a substantially vertical direction in essentially horizontal direction is further provided that the cooling device in the area of the deflection, that is to say about 1/3 to 2/3 of the longitudinal extent the support and guide device consists of flat jet nozzles. In particular the cooling device should also be on the underside of the slab made of flat jet nozzles consist.

Die DE-AS 1 558 194 beschreibt ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Kühlen eines Gußstranges in einer Sekundärkühlzone. Der Gußstrang wird in Zonen gekühlt, die quer zur Strangachse zueinander versetzt sind, mit der Maßgabe, daß die Kühlwirkung in den Zonen benachbarter Ebenen sich zu einer über die Strangoberfläche quer zur Strangachse annähernd gleichmäßig verlaufenden Kühlwirkung ergänzen.DE-AS 1 558 194 describes a method and a device for cooling of a cast strand in a secondary cooling zone. The cast strand is cooled in zones, which are offset from one another transversely to the strand axis, with the proviso that the cooling effect in the zones of neighboring levels becomes one over the strand surface The cooling effect runs almost uniformly across the strand axis complete.

Die DE-AS 1 289 956 offenbart eine Sekundärkühlvorrichtung für gradflächige Stranggußerzeugnisse. Diese besteht aus mehreren quer zur Strangachse angeordneten Zerstäuberdüsen. Die Zerstäuberdüsen weisen eine flache Charakteristik der auftreffenden Kühlmittelmenge auf und sind mit einem solchen Abstand von jeder benachbarten Düse angeordnet, bei welchen die Düsenflanken sich so weit überschneiden, daß die Kühlung im Überschneidungsbereich nur geringfügig von der Kühlung der außerhalb der Überschneidungen liegenden Oberflächenteile abweicht. DE-AS 1 289 956 discloses a secondary cooling device for straight surfaces Continuous castings. This consists of several arranged transversely to the strand axis Atomizer nozzles. The atomizer nozzles have a flat characteristic of the incident coolant quantity and are at such a distance of each adjacent nozzle, where the nozzle flanks are so far overlap that the cooling in the overlap area is only slightly the cooling of the surface parts lying outside the overlap deviates.

Bei keiner der bekannten Vorrichtungen sind wirksame Mittel vorhanden, welche einen Austritt von Laufwasser seitlich neben dem Strang und eine damit einhergehende unerwünscht intensive Abkühlung der Bandkantenbereiche verhindert.No effective means are available in any of the known devices, which an outlet of running water to the side of the strand and an accompanying one prevents undesirable intensive cooling of the band edge areas.

Ausgehend vom vorgenannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine zu deren Durchführung geeignete Vorrichtung anzugeben, durch welche der Austritt von Laufwasser aus der Sekundärkühlkammer einer Stranggießanlage seitlich neben dem Strang und eine damit einhergehende unerwünscht intensive Unterkühlung der Strangkanten verhindert werden kann.Starting from the aforementioned prior art, the object of the invention is based on a method and a device suitable for carrying it out specify the way in which running water escapes from the secondary cooling chamber a continuous caster next to the strand and an accompanying one undesirable intensive hypothermia of the strand edges can be prevented can.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird bei einem im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Verfahren mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß energiereiche Sprühstrahlen eines Ablenkmediums erzeugt und bevorzugt quer zu den Bandkantenbereichen gegen den Laufwasseraustritt gerichtet werden, derart, daß das Laufwasser von den Bandkantenbereichen abgelenkt und in beiderseitig vom Gußstrang vorhandene Ablauföffnungen der Sekundärkühlkammer abgeleitet wird.To solve the problem is mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 Method with the invention proposed that high-energy spray jets Deflection medium generated and preferably across the band edge areas be directed against the running water outlet in such a way that the running water of deflected the band edge areas and in existing on both sides of the cast strand Drain openings of the secondary cooling chamber is derived.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung der Aufgabe wird mit großem Vorteil erreicht, daß eine unerwünscht intensive Abkühlung der Bandkantenbereiche durch Laufwasser unterdrückt wird.With the solution of the object according to the invention, it is achieved with great advantage that that an undesirably intensive cooling of the band edge areas by running water is suppressed.

Durch Anpassung der Verfahrensparameter, beispielsweise Einstellen von Richtung, Energiegehalt sowie Anzahl und Durchsatzmenge der einzelnen Düsen wird die Wirksamkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens in erforderlichem Maße optimiert und es werden die jeweiligen Verhältnisse der Strangproduktion einer Dünnbrammen-Gießanlage optimal berücksichtigt.By adapting the process parameters, for example setting the direction, Energy content as well as number and throughput of the individual nozzles the effectiveness of the method according to the invention is optimized to the extent necessary and the respective ratios of the strand production of a thin slab caster optimally considered.

Eine Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens nach der Erfindung sieht vor, daß als Ablenkmedium Wasser oder Luft oder ein Wasser-/Luftgemisch verwendet wird. Damit wird eine noch bessere Anpassung der Verfahrensparameter an die jeweiligen Produktionsbedingungen einer Stranggießanlage erreicht.An embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that as a deflection medium Water or air or a water / air mixture is used. In order to is an even better adaptation of the process parameters to the respective Production conditions of a continuous caster reached.

Weiterhin sieht das Verfahren nach der Erfindung vor, daß Sprühstrahlen mit flachen Sprühkegeln erzeugt werden. Ein Sprühstrahl dieser Form entzieht dem Strang ein Minimum an Wärme, obwohl es sich nicht vermeiden läßt, daß auch der Strang durch das Ablenkmedium teilweise besprüht wird.Furthermore, the method according to the invention provides that spray jets with flat Spray cones are generated. A spray jet of this form withdraws this Strand a minimum of heat, although it can't be avoided that too the strand is partially sprayed by the deflecting medium.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens nach der Erfindung sieht vor, daß quer zu jeder Seite einer Kante des Gußstranges sich teilweise überschneidende Reihen von Sprühkegeln erzeugt werden. Damit wird eine vollständige Abdeckung jeder Seite einer Kante des Gußstranges mit Sprühstrahlen des Ablenkmediums erreicht.Another embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that across rows partially overlapping on each side of an edge of the cast strand are generated by spray cones. This will provide complete coverage each side of an edge of the cast strand with sprays of the deflecting medium reached.

Mit einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens nach der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß Sprühstrahlen bevorzugt in einem Winkel α gegen die Laufrichtung des Laufwassers gesprüht werden. Dadurch, daß die Düsen nach oben, entgegen der Richtung des Laufwassers sprühen, wird die Ablenkung des Laufwassers optimiert.Another embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that spray jets preferably at an angle α against the direction of the Run water are sprayed. The fact that the nozzles up, against the Spray towards the running water, the deflection of the running water is optimized.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens sieht weiterhin vor, daß die Kantenbereiche des Gußstranges in vergleichsweise geringem Abstand stromaufwärts der Bodenöffnung der Sekundärkühlkammer besprüht werden. Damit werden besonders günstige Verfahrensparameter für die Ablenkung des Laufwasser aus den Bandkantenbereichen erzielt.An advantageous embodiment of the method further provides that the edge areas of the cast strand at a comparatively short distance upstream sprayed into the bottom opening of the secondary cooling chamber. This makes it special favorable process parameters for the deflection of the running water from the Band edge areas achieved.

Und weiter sieht das Verfahren nach der Erfindung vor, daß bei einer die Breite des Stranges überbrückenden Anordnung jeweils mehrerer Düsen in Reihe, an den Schmalseiten eines Stranges nach Maßgabe wechselnder Strangbreite einzelne Düsenpaare der Düsenreihen zu- oder abgeschaltet werden. Damit ergeben sich in unkomplizierter und vorteilhafter Weise veränderbare Zonen zu besprühender Bandkantenbereiche quer zur Strangachse, und zwar nach Maßgabe der jeweiligen Breite des Stranges.And further the method according to the invention provides that the width of the line bridging arrangement of several nozzles in a row the narrow sides of a strand in accordance with changing strand width Nozzle pairs of the nozzle rows can be switched on or off. With it result spraying changeable zones in an uncomplicated and advantageous manner Band edge areas transverse to the strand axis, in accordance with the respective width of the strand.

Und schließlich sieht die Erfindung vor, daß Sprühstrahlen annähernd senkrecht zur Oberfläche gegen Bandkantenbereiche gesprüht werden. Damit wird ein optimaler Sperreffekt gegen austretendes Laufwasser erzeugt, ohne daß die Breitseiten des Stranges in unerwünschter Weise von den Sprühstrahlen getroffen werden und die Strangkanten einer unerwünschten Kühlwirkung ausgesetzt werden.And finally, the invention provides that spray jets are approximately perpendicular be sprayed to the surface against band edge areas. This will be an optimal one Barrier effect against escaping running water generated without the broadsides of the strand hit in an undesirable manner by the spray jets and the strand edges are exposed to an undesirable cooling effect.

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Anlagenbereich einer Stranggießanlage mit Mitteln zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist in Seitenansicht so dargestellt, daß der Betrachter auf die Schmalseite des Gußstranges 6 sieht.The plant area shown in Fig. 1 of a continuous casting plant with means for Implementation of the method according to the invention is shown in a side view, that the viewer looks at the narrow side of the cast strand 6.

Die rein schematische Darstellung dieses Anlagenbereiches zeigt oben die Kokille 22, aus welcher ein Gußstrang 6 entsprechend dem Pfeil 21 nach unten ausgezogen wird. Dabei durchläuft er eine lediglich als Black-Box angedeutete Strangführung 23 innerhalb einer ebenfalls als Black-Box dargestellten Sekundärkühlkammer 8. Die rein schematische Darstellung von Strangführung 23 und Kühlkammer 8 ohne Angabe von konstruktiven Details wurde aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit gewählt, weil davon auszugehen ist, daß ein Fachmann mit der Ausgestaltung konstruktiver Details dieser Elemente vertraut ist. Im unteren Bereich der Sekundärkühlkammer 8 befindet sich deren Boden 20 mit der Bodenöffnung 7, durch welche der Strang 6 zusammen mit einem Strom von Laufwasser 9 nach unten zu austritt. Im Bereich dieses Austritts befindet sich eine Zufuhrleitung 24 für ein aus der Sprühdüse 17 in Form von Sprühstrahlen 10 emitiertes Ablenkmedium. Bei diesem kann es sich um Wasser oder Luft oder ein Wasser-/Luftgemisch handeln.The purely schematic representation of this plant area shows the mold above 22, from which a cast strand 6 is drawn down according to arrow 21 becomes. In doing so, it runs through a strand guide that is only indicated as a black box 23 within a secondary cooling chamber, also shown as a black box 8. The purely schematic representation of strand guide 23 and cooling chamber 8 without specifying constructive details was for reasons of clarity chosen because it can be assumed that a specialist with the design constructive details of these elements is familiar. In the lower area of the secondary cooling chamber 8 is the bottom 20 with the bottom opening 7, through which the strand 6 along with a stream of running water 9 down to exit. In the area of this outlet there is a supply line 24 for an out the spray nozzle 17 in the form of spray 10 emitted deflection medium. At this can be water or air or a water / air mixture.

Wie hierzu aus der Figur 2 hervorgeht, gliedert sich - in der Draufsicht auf den Kühlkammerboden 20 betrachtet - die neben der Bodenöffnung 7 der Kühlkammer 8 zur sehende Anordnung von Sprühdüsen 17 in eine obere Düsenreihe 25 und eine untere Düsenreihe 26. Die von diesen erzeugten Sprühstrahlen 10 aus einzelnen sich teilweise überlappenden Sprühkegeln 13 sind schräg zur Laufrichtung 21 des Gußstranges 6 im Bereich dicht oberhalb des Kühlkammerbodens 20 ausgerichtet.As can be seen from this in FIG. 2, the following is structured - in the top view of the Cooling chamber floor 20 considered - the next to the bottom opening 7 of the cooling chamber 8 for the sighted arrangement of spray nozzles 17 in an upper row of nozzles 25 and a lower row of nozzles 26. The spray jets 10 generated thereby individual partially overlapping spray cones 13 are oblique to the direction of travel 21 of the cast strand 6 in the area just above the cooling chamber floor 20 aligned.

In Folge der Ausrichtung in Reihen 15 findet eine wenigstens teilweise Überlappung der Sprühstrahlen 10 der oberen und unteren Düsenreihen 25, 26 statt.As a result of the alignment in rows 15, there is an at least partial overlap the spray jets 10 of the upper and lower rows of nozzles 25, 26 instead.

Wie weiterhin die Figur 3 in einer Seitenansicht mit Blick auf die Schmalseite 16 eines Gußstranges 6 zeigt, sind die Sprühstrahlen 10 der oberen bzw. unteren Düsenreihe 25, 26 in einem Winkel α gegen die Richtung des Laufwassers 9 gerichtet. Dadurch wird die Ablenkung des Laufwassers 9 optimiert.Like FIG. 3 in a side view with a view of the narrow side 16 of a cast strand 6 shows the spray jets 10 of the upper and lower Row of nozzles 25, 26 directed at an angle α against the direction of the running water 9. The deflection of the running water 9 is thereby optimized.

Die Darstellung zeigt weiter den zum Gußstrang 6 und zur Bodenöffnung 7 hin schräg nach oben ansteigenden Kühlkammerboden 20, welcher neben dem Strang 6 die Bodenöffnung 7 offen hält, wobei insbesondere in deren Bereich ein Durchströmen von Laufwasser 9 mit Hilfe der Erfindung vermieden werden soll. Dies wird erreicht durch die Wirkung der energiereichen Sprühstrahlen 10, und durch deren Auftreffen auf den Laufwasserstrom 9, wobei das Laufwasser in die beiderseitig vom Gußstrang 6 vorhandenen Ablauföffnungen 12 der Sekundärkühlkammer 8 abgeleitet wird.The illustration further shows that towards the cast strand 6 and towards the bottom opening 7 sloping upward rising cooling chamber floor 20, which next to the Strand 6 keeps the bottom opening 7 open, particularly in the area thereof Flow of running water 9 is to be avoided with the help of the invention. This is achieved by the action of the high-energy spray jets 10, and by hitting the run water stream 9, the run water in the Drain openings 12 of the secondary cooling chamber on both sides of the cast strand 6 8 is derived.

Figur 4 zeigt eine weitere Schnittdarstellung der Kühlkammer 8 in den Schnittebenen II. - II. von Fig. 1 und zwar eine Anordnung von Sprühdüsen 17 in Reihen 15 zur Ausbildung energiereicher Sprühstrahlen 10 an den Bandkantenbereichen 11 des Gußstranges 6.Figure 4 shows a further sectional view of the cooling chamber 8 in the sectional planes II. - II. Of Fig. 1, namely an arrangement of spray nozzles 17 in rows 15th for the formation of high-energy spray jets 10 at the belt edge regions 11 of the cast strand 6.

Die Verrohrung der Sprühdüsen 17 ist durch Zufuhrleitungen 24 ausgebildet, welche seitwärts der Düsenreihen 15 je einzeln an Drosselvorrichtungen 1 bis 5 angeschlossen sind und diese wiederum von einer gemeinsamen Speiseleitung 18 ausgehen.The piping of the spray nozzles 17 is formed by supply lines 24, which sideways of the nozzle rows 15 each individually connected to throttling devices 1 to 5 are and in turn from a common feed line 18th going out.
