Abstract

The invention relates to a strand guide element for use in a continuous slab caster or continuous thin-slab caster. Said strand guide element comprises at least two strand guide rolls (5a, 5b) that form a cooperating pair of rolls and that are received by opposite roll supports (4, 7). At least one roll support (7) is mounted in a common guide element frame (2) so as to be displaceable relative to the opposite roll support (4). Said displaceable roll support is linked with the guide element frame via an adjustment device (10) and at least one roll (5a, 5b) of the pair of rolls is coupled to a rotational drive (9a, 9b). The aim of the invention is to ensure, with little constructive modifications, the symmetrical application of the contact pressure to the cast strand and the alignment of the interacting strand guide rolls, while reducing investment and operating costs. To this end, only one adjustment device (10) is provided that centrally acts upon both the displaceable roll support (7) and the guide element frame (2), and the guides (15a, 16) on the displaceable roll support (7) engage with counter-guides (15b, 16b) on the guide element frame (2).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Strangführungselement in einer Brammen- oder Dünnbrammenstranggießanlage gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a strand guiding element in a slab or thin slab caster according to the preamble of claim 1.

In einer Stranggießanlage sind im Bereich der Strangführung zwischen Kokille und dem horizontal angeordneten Auslaufrollgang in Abständen voneinander an den Gießstrang und bei Gießbeginn an den Anfahrstrang anstellbare und antreibbare Strangführungsrollen angeordnet. Durch die von diesen Strangführungsrollen aufgebrachten Anpresskräfte wird der kontrollierte Transport des Gießstranges bzw. des Anfahrstranges durch die Stranggießanlage mit einer vorbestimmten Fördergeschwindigkeit sichergestellt.In a continuous casting in the strand guide between mold and the horizontally arranged outfeed roller table at intervals from each other to the casting strand and at casting start to the Anfahrstrang engageable and drivable strand guide rollers are arranged. By the contact forces applied by these strand guide rollers, the controlled transport of the cast strand or the Anfahrstranges is ensured by the continuous casting at a predetermined conveying speed.

Bei Knüppelstranggießanlagen zum Gießen von Strängen mit nur geringer Querschnittsfläche bis etwa 200mm x 200mm ist es bekannt, einige Treibwalzengerüste in der Strangführung im Abstand voneinander anzuordnen, bei denen die anstellbare und antreibbare Strangführungsrolle des zusammenwirkenden Rollenpaares an einem Schwenkarm gelagert ist, der einerseits mit einer Anstelleinrichtung zum Anpressen der Strangführungsrolle an den Strang gekoppelt und andererseits im Treibwalzengerüstrahmen schwenkbar abgestützt ist ( DE-A-30 29 990 , DE-A-29 23108 ). Eine Anstellvorrichtung für den Schwenkarm ist mit Schwenkgelenken am Schwenkarm und am Treibwalzengerüstrahmen angelenkt.In billet caster for casting strands with only small cross-sectional area to about 200mm x 200mm, it is known to arrange some drive roller stands in the strand guide at a distance from each other, in which the engagable and drivable strand guide roller of the cooperating pair of rollers is mounted on a pivot arm, on the one hand with a Anstelleinrichtung coupled to press on the strand guide roller to the strand and on the other hand pivotally supported in Treibwalzengerüstrahmen ( DE-A-30 29 990 . DE-A-29 23108 ). An adjusting device for the swivel arm is articulated with swivel joints on the swivel arm and the Treibwalzengerüstrahmen.

Ein Treibrollengerüst, welches für Brammen- und Dünnbrammenstranggießanlagen geeignet ist, ist aus der AT-B-332 986 bereits bekannt. Die Strangführungsrollen sind mit ihren Rollenzapfen in Lagereinbaustücken abgestützt, welche vertikale Führungen aufweisen, die mit entsprechenden Gegenführungen am Treibrollengerüstrahmen zusammenwirken und an denen Druckmittelzylinder als Verstelleinrichtungen angreifen. Da die beiden Lagereinbaustücke unabhängig voneinander durch die Druckmittelzylinder belastet werden, besteht die Gefahr ungleicher Belastung des Stranges und des Verkantens der Strangführungsrolle in den Führungen.A Treibrollengerüst, which is suitable for slab and Dünnbrammenstranggießanlagen is from the AT-B-332 986 already known. The strand guide rollers are supported with their roller pins in bearing chocks, which have vertical guides which cooperate with corresponding counter-guides on Treibrollegerüstrahmen and attack on which pressure medium cylinder as adjusting. Since the two bearing chocks are loaded independently by the pressure cylinder, there is a risk of uneven loading of the strand and the tilting of the strand guide roller in the guides.

Für die Anwendung in Brammenstranggießanlagen sind aus der AT-B-335 650 und der DE-A-1 97 45 056 bereits aus einzelnen Strangführungssegmenten gebildete Strangführungen bekannt, bei denen mehrere hintereinander angeordnete Rollensätze zu einer Baueinheit (Segment) zusammmengefasst sind, die von einem Außenbogensegmentrahmen und einem lnnenbogensegmentrahmen gebildet ist. Der Innenbogensegmentrahmen ist mit allen seinen Strangführungsrollen in seinem Abstand relativ zum Außenbogensegmentrahmen verschiebbar ausgebildet. Zusätzlich ist mindestens eine Strangführungsrolle - nach der AT-B-335 650 eine randseitige Rolle, nach der DE-A-197 45 056 eine innen liegende Rolle - als angetriebene und unabhängig von den anderen Rollen anstellbare Treiberrolle ausgestaltet. Die Anstellung der Treiberrollen erfolgt bei der Ausführungsform nach der AT-B-335 650 durch zwei schräg zueinander angestellte Druckmittelzylinder, die an Randbereichen eines die Treiberrollen tragenden Querträgers angreifen, der über ein Parallellenkersystem mit den Rollenträgern der übrigen Strangführungsrollen am Innenbogensegmentrahmen gekoppelt ist. Diese Lösung ist mechanisch aufwendig und kostenintensiv.For use in slab casters are from the AT-B-335 650 and the DE-A-1 97 45 056 Strand guides already formed from individual strand guide segments are known in which a plurality of roller sets arranged one behind the other are combined to form a structural unit (segment) which is formed by an outer-arc segment frame and an inner-arc segment frame. The inner arc segment frame is formed with all its strand guide rollers in its distance relative to the outer arc segment frame displaced. In addition, at least one strand guide roller - after the AT-B-335 650 a peripheral role, after the DE-A-197 45 056 an internal roller - designed as driven and independently of the other roles engagable driver role. The employment of the driver rollers is carried out in the embodiment according to the AT-B-335 650 by two inclined to each other employed pressure cylinder, which engage at the edge regions of the driver rollers supporting cross member which is coupled via a parallel link system with the roller carriers of the other strand guide rollers on the inner arc segment frame. This solution is mechanically complex and costly.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein Strangführungselement der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, welches mit konstruktiv geringem Aufwand die symmetrische Aufbringung eines Anpressdruckes auf den Gießstrang ermöglicht und das Fluchten zusammenwirkender Strangführungsrollen sicher gewährleistet. Weiters wird eine Reduktion der Investitions- und Betriebskosten angestrebt.The object of the invention is therefore to avoid these disadvantages and to propose a strand guide element of the type mentioned above, which enables the symmetrical application of a contact pressure on the cast strand with constructively little effort and safely ensures the alignment of co-operating strand guide rolls. Furthermore, a reduction of investment and operating costs is sought.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass Führungen am verlagerbaren Rollenträger mit Gegenführungen am Führungselementrahmen in Eingriff sind und die Verbindungslinie der beiden Schwenkgelenke der Verstelleinrichtung, die der Wirkungslinie der Kraftaufbringung entspricht, normal auf der Mittenachse der verlagerbaren Strangführungsrolle steht.The stated object is achieved according to the invention in that guides on the displaceable roller carrier are engaged with counter guides on the guide element frame and the connecting line of the two pivot joints of the adjusting device, which corresponds to the line of action of the force application, is normal to the center axis of the displaceable strand guide roller.

Um die symmetrische Verteilung des Anpressdruckes entlang der Berührungslinie von Gießstrang und Strangfühungsrolle zu gewährleisten, ist die Verstelleinrichtung mit Schwenkgelenken am Rollenträger und am Führungselementrahmen befestigt. Dieser Effekt wird weiter verbessert, wenn die Verbindungslinie der beiden Schwenkgelenke die Mittelachsen der ein Rollenpaar bildenden Strangführungsrollen schneidet. Die Verstelleinrichtung wird vorzugsweise von einem regelbaren Hydraulikzylinder gebildet.In order to ensure the symmetrical distribution of the contact pressure along the contact line of cast strand and strand guide roller, the adjusting device is attached to the roller carrier and the guide element frame with pivot joints. This effect is further improved if the connecting line of the two pivot joints the Center axes of a pair of rollers forming strand guide rollers cuts. The adjusting device is preferably formed by a controllable hydraulic cylinder.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Führungen am Rollenträger und die Gegenführungen am Führungselementrahmen Berührungsflächen bilden, die parallel zur Verbindungslinie der beiden Schwenkgelenke der Verstelleinrichtung orientiert sind. Damit wird erreicht, dass die Wirkungslinie der Kraftaufbringung gesichert mit der Bewegungsrichtung des Rollenträgers übereinstimmt. Durch eine entsprechende Länge der Führungen und Gegenführungen wird ein Verkanten des Rollenträgers im Führungselementrahmen vermieden.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the guides on the roller carrier and the counter guides on the guide element frame form contact surfaces, which are oriented parallel to the connecting line of the two pivot joints of the adjustment. This ensures that the line of action of the force application is consistent with the direction of movement of the roller carrier. By a corresponding length of the guides and counter guides tilting of the roller carrier in the guide element frame is avoided.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand eines nicht einschränkenden Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert, wobei Fig. 1 eine axonometrische Darstellung eines Strangführungssegmentes mit einem integrierten Treibrollenpaar zeigt und Fig. 2 in einem Teilschnitt der Fig. 1 den im Innenbogensegmentrahmen angeordneten verlagerbaren Rollenträger.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a non-limiting exemplary embodiment, wherein FIG. 1 shows an axonometric representation of a strand guide segment with an integrated pair of driving rollers and FIG. 2 shows in a partial section of FIG. 1 the displaceable roller carrier arranged in the inner arc segment frame.

In einer Stranggießanlage zur Herstellung von Strängen im Brammenformat wird in einer oszillierenden gekühlten Stranggießkokille kontinuierlich ein Gießstrang mit noch flüssigem Kern und einer dünnen Strangschale gebildet. In einer der Stranggießkokille in Gießrichtung nachgeordneten Strangführung mit mehreren Metern Krümmungsradius wird der Gießstrang unter ständiger Kühlung von im wesentlichen vertikalen Richtung in die Horizontale umgelenkt und dort gerade gerichtet. Eine Vielzahl von Strangführungsrollen, die in zwei Reihen angeordnet sind, bilden einen Transportkanal für den Gießstrang, in dem er gestützt und geführt wird. Einige der Strangführungsrollen sind als Treiberrollen ausgebildet und mit einem motorischen Antrieb versehen, um eine kontrollierte Fördergeschwindigkeit für den Gießstrang und bei Gießbeginn für den Anfahrstrang zu gewährleisten. Eine derartige Stranggießanlage ist beispielsweise aus der DE-A-197 45 056 bekannt.In a continuous casting plant for producing strands in the slab format, a cast strand with a still liquid core and a thin strand shell is formed continuously in an oscillating cooled continuous casting mold. In one of the continuous casting mold downstream in the casting direction strand guide with several meters radius of curvature of the casting strand is deflected under constant cooling of substantially vertical direction in the horizontal and directed straight there. A plurality of strand guide rollers, which are arranged in two rows, form a transport channel for the cast strand, in which it is supported and guided. Some of the strand guide rollers are designed as driver rollers and provided with a motor drive to ensure a controlled conveying speed for the casting strand and at the start of casting for the starter strand. Such a continuous casting plant is for example from the DE-A-197 45 056 known.

Die Strangführung ist aus einzelnen Strangführungssegmenten zusammengesetzt, wie eines in Fig. 1 in axonometrischer Darstellung schematisch dargestellt ist. Es ist von je einem Außenbogensegmentrahmen 1 und einem lnnenbogensegmentrahmen 2 gebildet, welche durch vier in den Eckbereichen der Segmentrahmen angeordnete, hydraulisch betätigbare Verspanneinrichtungen 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d miteinander verbunden sind, die eine vorgegebene Positionierung des Innenbogensegmentrahmen 2 zum Außenbogensegmentrahmen 1 zulassen. Damit können die in hintereinander angeordneten Rollenträger 4 gelagerten Strangführungsrollen 5 auf das Maß der Strangdicke oder bei Gießbeginn auf die Dicke des Anfahrstranges eingestellt werden. Jede Strangführungsrolle 5 ist als durchgehende, mehrfach gelagerte Rolle oder von mehreren fluchtenden Rollen gebildet. Einander gegenüberliegende Strangführungsrollen 5 bilden ein zusammenwirkendes Rollenpaar. Die Rollenträger 4 sind fest am Innenbogen- 2 bzw. Außenbogensegmentrahmen 1 befestigt. Die Rollenträger 4 können jedoch auch nur von den Lagergehäusen 6 gebildet sein, die direkt am jeweiligen Segmentrahmen befestigt sind.The strand guide is composed of individual strand guide segments, as one is shown schematically in Fig. 1 in axonometric representation. It is formed by an outer arch segment frame 1 and an inner arch segment frame 2, which are interconnected by four hydraulically actuable bracing devices 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d arranged in the corner regions of the segment frame, which allow a predetermined positioning of the inner arch segment frame 2 to the outer arch segment frame 1. Thus, the roller guide 4 mounted in succession strand guide rollers 5 can be adjusted to the degree of strand thickness or casting start on the thickness of the Anfahrstranges. Each strand guide roller 5 is formed as a continuous, multi-bearing roller or a plurality of aligned rollers. Opposite strand guide rollers 5 form a cooperating pair of rollers. The roller carriers 4 are firmly attached to the inner arch 2 or outer arch segment frame 1. However, the roller carriers 4 may also be formed only by the bearing housings 6, which are attached directly to the respective segment frame.

Fig. 2 zeigt in einem Teilschnitt der Fig. 1 einen im lnnenbogensegmentrahmen 2 angeordneten Rollenträger 7, der Lagerstellen 8 trägt, die eine mehrfach gelagerte, mit einem Antrieb 9a verbundene Strangführungsrolle 5a drehbeweglich aufnehmen. Eine gleichartige angetriebene Strangführungsrolle 5b ist im Außenbogensegmentrahmen 1 gegenüberliegend angeordnet und in Fig. 1 durch den Antrieb 9b, der dem Antrieb 9a gegenüberliegt, angedeutet. Die angetriebene Strangführungsrolle 5b ist gleichermaßen wie die benachbarten im Außenbogensegmentrahmen 1 befestigten Strangführungsrollen 5 in stationären Rollenträgern 4 abgestützt. Der für die gegenüberliegende angetriebene Strangführungsrolle 5a vorgesehene verlagerbare Rollenträger 7 ist einerseits über ein Schwenkgelenk 11 mit einem ansteuerbaren Druckmittelzylinder 10 verbunden und andererseits über ein Schwenkgelenk 12 am lnnenbogensegmentrahmen 2 abgestützt. Die beiden Schwenkgelenke 11, 12 bestimmen eine Verbindungslinie 13, die der Wirkungslinie der Kraftaufbringung auf dem Gießstrang entspricht und in Fig. 2 mit der Mittelachse des Druckmittelzylinders 10 zusammenfällt. Damit schneidet diese Verbindungslinie 13 die Mittelachse 14 der angetriebenen Strangführungsrolle 5a in der Mitte ihrer Längserstreckung. Damit ist eine gleichmäßige Druckverteilung auf den Gießstrang entlang der Berührungslinie von Strangführungsrolle und Gießstrang gewährleistet.FIG. 2 shows in a partial section of FIG. 1 a roller carrier 7 which is arranged in the inner-arc segmental frame 2 and carries bearings 8 which receive a multi-bearing strand guide roller 5a, which is connected to a drive 9a in a rotatable manner. A similar driven strand guide roller 5b is arranged opposite in the outer arch segment frame 1 and in Fig. 1 by the drive 9b, which is opposite to the drive 9a, indicated. The driven strand guide roller 5 b is supported in stationary roller carriers 4 in the same way as the adjacent strand guide rollers 5 fastened in the outer arch segment frame 1. The provided for the opposite driven strand guide roller 5a displaceable roller carrier 7 is connected on the one hand via a pivot joint 11 with a controllable pressure medium cylinder 10 and on the other hand via a pivot joint 12 on the inner arc segment frame 2 supported. The two pivot joints 11, 12 define a connecting line 13, which corresponds to the line of action of the force application on the cast strand and coincides in Fig. 2 with the central axis of the pressure medium cylinder 10. Thus, this connection line 13 intersects the central axis 14 of the driven strand guide roller 5a in the middle of its longitudinal extent. This ensures a uniform pressure distribution on the cast strand along the contact line of strand guide roll and cast strand.

Parallel zu den Verbindungslinien 13 sind Führungen 15a, 16a beidseitig am verlagerbaren Rollenträger 7 befestigt, die mit entsprechenden Gegenführungen 15b, 16b am lnnenbogensegmentrahmen 2 zusammenwirken. Die Führungen 15a sind an den Breitseiten des Rollenträgers 7, etwa im Abstand einer halben Strangführungsrolle 5a von seinen Seitenrändern angeordnet. Die Führungen 16a liegen an den Stirnseiten des Rollenträgers an. Die Führungen 15a und Gegenführungen 15b stabilisieren den Rollenträger 7 in Gießrichtung G, die Führungen 16a und Gegenführungen 16b in Querrichtung dazu.Guides 15a, 16a are fastened on both sides to the displaceable roller carrier 7 in parallel with the connecting lines 13, which interact with corresponding counter-guides 15b, 16b on the inner arc segment frame 2. The guides 15a are arranged on the broad sides of the roller carrier 7, approximately at a distance of half a strand guide roller 5a of its side edges. The guides 16a bear against the end faces of the roller carrier. The guides 15a and counter-guides 15b stabilize the roller carrier 7 in the casting direction G, the guides 16a and counter-guides 16b in the transverse direction thereto.

Das anhand der Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte, in ein Strangführungssegment integrierte, von einem verlagerbaren Rollenträger 7, einem stationären Rollenträger 4, den angetriebenen Strangführungsrollen 5a, 5b, dem Druckmittelzylinder 10 und den zugeordneten Führungen 15a, 16a gebildete Strangführungselement kann auch ohne die benachbarten stationären Strangführungsrollen 5 als schmal gebautes eigenständiges Strangführungselement in der Strangführung einer Stranggießanlage angeordnet sein. Der Außenbogensegmentrahmen 1 und der Innenbogensegmentrahmen 2 reduzieren sich dadurch auf einen Führungselementrahmen 17 für den verlagerbaren Rollenträger 7 mit Druckmittelzylinder 10 und den zugeordneten Führungen 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b.The illustrated with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, integrated in a strand guide segment, by a movable roller carrier 7, a stationary roller carrier 4, the driven Strand guide rollers 5a, 5b, the pressure medium cylinder 10 and the associated guides 15a, 16a formed strand guide element can be arranged without the adjacent stationary strand guide rollers 5 as narrow self-contained strand guide element in the strand guide a continuous casting. The outer arc segment frame 1 and the inner arc segment frame 2 are thereby reduced to a guide element frame 17 for the displaceable roller carrier 7 with pressure medium cylinder 10 and the associated guides 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b.
