Einzelne Rollen innerhalb dieser Strangführungsstrecke oder hinter ihr werden zur Überwindung der Ausziehwiderstände, welchen der Strang auf seinem Weg durch die Rollenführung unterworfen ist, angetrieben. Die Leistung dieser Antriebe wird im allgemeinen so bemessen, dass einerseits bei jeder denkbaren Betriebssituation ein sicheres Ausfördern des Stranges gewährleistet ist, andererseits aber die Herstellkosten möglichst niedrig gehalten und die Antriebe nicht unnötig überdimensioniert werden.In continuous casting plants, in particular for casting slabs, thin slabs, Preblocks or beam blanks, the strands produced are from the mold to supported and guided at least for solidification in a roller corset.

Unterhalb der Kokille werden am ersten Segment der Strangführung die durch mechanische Widerstände verursachten Kraftänderungen der Ausziehkräfte gemessen und für eine Veränderung des Gießprozesses oder dessen Beendigung herangezogen. Die Kraftänderungen werden mittels Druckmeßdosen oder Dehnungsmeßstreifen gemessen.DE 29 23 900 C2 describes a method for preventing breakthroughs of the strand in continuous casting plants known, with changes in the strand and the operating parameters of the continuous caster and measured with a limit value be compared, whereupon a signal for a countermeasure is exceeded is produced.

Dabei wird unter der höchstzulässigen Antriebskraft der maximal zulässige Strangwiderstand und unter der Einzel-Antriebskraft der Einzelwiderstand verstanden.The problem is solved with a method for controlling the driving forces of strand guide segments when a cast strand is conveyed out of a Continuous caster with the invention proposed that a maximum allowable Driving force for conveying the strand is specified, and that single driving forces measured a number of segments, the sum of the individual forces are calculated, compared with the maximum permissible driving force, and if they are exceeded, the system is shut down or switched off becomes.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Erläuterung eines in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles. Es zeigen:

in Ansicht ein Strangführungssegment der vertikalen Strangführung unterhalb der Kokille;
Figur 2
das Strangführungssegment gemäß Fig. 1 im Schnitt einer zum Gußstrang senkrechten Ebene.
Further details, features and advantages of the invention result from the following explanation of an exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the drawings. Show it:
Figure 1
in view a strand guide segment of the vertical strand guide below the mold;
Figure 2
1 in section on a plane perpendicular to the cast strand.

Die Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 und 2 zeigt den Gußstrang 1, welcher durch die Rollen 2 mit ihren Lagern 3 gemäß Fig. 1 in einer vertikalen Ebene, und gemäß Fig. 2 in einer horizontalen Ebene geführt wird. The overview of Figures 1 and 2 shows the cast strand 1, which by the rollers 2 with their bearings 3 according to FIG. 1 in a vertical plane, and according to Fig. 2 is performed in a horizontal plane.

Die Lager 3 der Rollen 2 sind auf Rahmen 4 und 5 befestigt, welche sich ihrerseits mit Konsolen 6 auf den äußeren Tragkonstruktionen 8 des Stützgerüstes abstützen. Zwischen den Auflagern 6 und 8 sind Kraftmeßdosen 7 angeordnet, welche die Auflagekraft der Segmente unmittelbar und exakt erfassen.The bearings 3 of the rollers 2 are attached to frames 4 and 5, which in turn are support with brackets 6 on the outer supporting structures 8 of the scaffolding. Load cells 7 are arranged between the supports 6 and 8, which record the contact force of the segments directly and precisely.

Alternativ kann die Auflagekraft der Segmente über eine Verformung der Auflagerkonsolen 6, 8 bspw. mittels Neigungsmessern 9, erfaßt werden.Alternatively, the contact force of the segments can be caused by deformation of the support brackets 6, 8, for example by means of inclinometers 9.

Bei dem Meßverfahren wird die Ausziehkraft des Stranges 1 in Gießrichtung von den Strangführungssegmenten auf eine Anzahl von Auflagepunkte der Vorrichtung direkt übertragen. Hierbei bildet sich eine Summenkraft entsprechend den Teilstrecken der Strangführungssegmente, wobei im Bereich der Senkrechtführung die Ausziehkraft eines Strangführungselementes in Gießrichtung gemäß Fig. 1 wirkt, wogegen bei Bogen-Stranggießanlagen ein entsprechender Winkel in der weiteren Auswertung und Anordnung der Meßtechnik zu berücksichtigen ist.In the measuring process, the pull-out force of the strand 1 in the casting direction is the strand guide segments on a number of support points of the device broadcast directly.

Bei der zur Anwendung gelangenden Meßmethode wird unter den Auflagen der Strangführungssegmente eine Kraftmessung oder eine Neigungsmessung installiert. Die Kraftmessung mit den Druckmeßdosen wird an den entsprechenden Konstruktionseinheiten unmittelbar vorgenommen. Sie wird ohne Kraftnebenschlüsse zwischen den Auflageflächen installiert.The measurement method used is subject to the requirements of Strand guide segments installed a force measurement or an inclination measurement. The force measurement with the pressure load cells is on the corresponding Construction units made immediately. It is without force shunts installed between the contact surfaces.

Bei einer Vier-Punkt-Auflage eines Segmentes kann die Messung an allen vier Punkten durchgeführt werden, sie kann sich aber auch auf zwei oder sogar einen Punkt beschränken. Dabei kann die Umrechnung der erfaßten Meßgröße entsprechend den geometrischen Bedingungen bzw. entsprechend der Lage der Hauptkraftachse entsprechend umgerechnet werden.With a four-point support of one segment, the measurement can be taken on all four Points can be done, but it can also be on two or even one Limit point. The conversion of the measured variable can be done accordingly the geometric conditions or the position of the main force axis be converted accordingly.

Die Messungen werden zunächst ohne Last, d.h. ohne Gießstrang in der Gießanlage durchgeführt. Während des Gießbetriebes werden entsprechend weitere Messungen vorgenommen. Die Differenz der Kraftmessungen geben dann die anstehenden Ausziehkräfte an.The measurements are initially carried out without load, i.e. without casting strand in the casting plant carried out. During the casting operation there will be more Measurements made. The difference in the force measurements then give the upcoming pull-out forces.

Bei einer zweiten Meßmethode wird eine Neigungsmessung bspw. über Inklinometer an den Unterbaukonstruktionen der Auflagepunkte der Strangführungssegmente vorgenommen. Die Neigungsmessung gibt die Verformung der Unterbaukonstruktion in Abhängigkeit der anstehenden Ausförderkraft an. Die Messung der Normalneigung erfolgt in der Gießpause, d.h. ohne Warmstrang in der Stranggießanlage. Messungen im Gießbetrieb werden für die Ermittlung der Ausziehkraft verwendet. Die Umrechnung der Neigungswerte in einer Ausziehkraft erfolgt mit entsprechenden konstruktionsabhängigen Umrechnungsfaktoren.In a second measurement method, an inclination measurement is made, for example, using an inclinometer on the substructure of the support points of the strand guide segments performed. The inclination measurement gives the deformation of the substructure depending on the forthcoming discharge force. The measurement of Normal inclination takes place during the casting break, i.e. without hot strand in the continuous caster. Measurements in the casting shop are used to determine the pull-out force used. The inclination values are converted into a pull-out force with corresponding design-dependent conversion factors.

Die Erfindung eignet sich besonders zur Überwachung der Ausziehkräfte im Gießbetrieb. Die Erfindung ermöglicht einen aktiven Maschinenschutz bei Überlastfällen, z.B. bei einem Durchbruch der Strangschale. Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Überwachung der Ausziehkräfte wird die Anlage vor Zerstörung geschützt. Die Strangantriebe können in ihrer Leistung begrenzt werden. Eine festgelegte Maximalkraft der Strangführungselemente wird überwacht und schaltet in der weiteren Steuerungslogik die Strangantriebe bei dem Anfahrvorgang automatisch ab. Insgesamt kann mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Überwachungsmethode die Auslegungskriterien der Stranggußanlage während des Betriebes und jederzeit überprüft werden.The invention is particularly suitable for monitoring the pull-out forces in the casting operation. The invention enables active machine protection in the event of overload, e.g. if the strand shell breaks. With the help of the invention Monitoring the pull-out forces protects the system from destruction. The String drives can be limited in their performance. A specified maximum force the strand guide elements are monitored and switches in the further Control logic automatically switches off the line drives during the start-up process.
