Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for hot dip coating of metal strands, in particular of steel strip, in which the metal strand can be passed vertically through a molten coating metal receiving container and through an upstream guide channel, wherein in the region of the guide channel an electromagnetic inductor is arranged, which is for retaining the coating metal can induce induction currents in the container by means of an electromagnetic barrier field in the coating metal, which exert an electromagnetic force in interaction with the electromagnetic blocking field.
- the belts are introduced from above into the dip-coating bath in a plunger. Since the coating metal in liquid Form present and you want to use the gravity together with blowers for adjusting the coating thickness, the subsequent processes, however, prohibit band contact until complete solidification of the coating metal, the tape must be deflected in the coating vessel in the vertical direction. This happens with a roller that runs in liquid metal. Due to the liquid coating metal, this roller is subject to heavy wear and is the cause of downtimes and thus failures in production.
- the known dip coating systems also have limit values in the coating speed. These are the limit values for the operation of the wiping nozzle, the cooling processes of the continuous metal strip and the heating process for setting alloy layers in the coating metal. This leads to the case that on the one hand, the maximum speed is generally limited and on the other certain metal bands can not be driven at the maximum speed possible for the system.
- non-ferromagnetic metal bands are thus possible, but occur in substantially ferromagnetic steel strips so that they are drawn in the electromagnetic seals by the ferromagnetism to the channel walls, whereby the tape surface is damaged. Furthermore, it is problematic that the coating metal is heated by the inductive fields inadmissible.
- the position of the passing ferromagnetic steel strip through the guide channel between two traveling field inductors is an unstable equilibrium. Only in the middle of the guide channel is the sum of the magnetic forces of attraction acting on the tape zero. As soon as the steel strip is deflected out of its center position, it gets closer to one of the both inductors as it moves away from the other inductor. Causes of such a deflection may be simple flatness errors of the tape.
- any kind of tape waves in running direction, seen across the width of the tape Centerbuckles, Quarterbuckles, Randwellen, Flattem, twisting, Crossbow, S-shape, etc.
- the magnetic induction which is responsible for the magnetic attraction decreases according to an exponential function with the distance from the inductor in their field strength.
- the attraction force decreases with the square of the induction field strength with increasing distance from the inductor. For the deflected band, this means that with the deflection in one direction, the attractive force to one inductor expands exponentially, while the restoring force from the other inductor exponentially decreases. Both effects are self-reinforcing, so the balance is unstable.
- DE 195 35 854 A1 and DE 100 14 867 A1 give hints.
- additional correction coils are provided in addition to the coils for generating the electromagnetic traveling field, which are in communication with a control system and ensure that the metal strip is retrieved when departing from the central position in this.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, a device for hot dip coating of metal strands of the type mentioned in such a way that the mentioned disadvantages are overcome. It should therefore be designed in particular an electromagnetic inductor, which has a low overall height and still does not cause strong heating of the metal strand
- the inductor is connected to electrical supply means which supply it with an alternating current whose frequency is less than 500 Hz, the supply means supplying the inductor with single-phase alternating current and wherein the
- Device comprises guide means for guiding the metal strand in the guide channel, which consist of at least two correction coils for position control of the metal strand in the guide channel in the direction normal to the surface of the metal strand; It is preferably provided that the frequency is less than 100 Hz, in particular 50 Hz (mains frequency).
- the inductor on each an induction coil on both sides of the guide channel is provided.
- the guide means for guiding the metal strand in the guide channel may further be at least one pair of guide rollers. These are preferably arranged in the lower region of the guide channel or below the guide channel.
- the correction coils can, viewed in the direction of movement of the metal strand. At the same height as the induction coils are arranged.
- a good efficiency of the inductor results when the electromagnetic inductor for receiving the induction coil and the correction coil has two grooves which are parallel to each other, perpendicular to the direction of movement of the metal strand and perpendicular to the normal direction.
- the regulation of the metal strand in the Guide channel facilitates when the correction coil arranged in the grooves is arranged closer to the metal strand than the induction coil. The regulation can be carried out more accurately if the inductor has on both sides of the metal strand at least two correction coils arranged next to one another in a row.
- means may be provided for supplying the correction coils with an alternating current which has the same phase as the current with which the induction coils are operated.
- the position of the continuous steel strip can be detected by inductive field sensors which are operated with a weak measuring field of high frequency.
- inductive field sensors which are operated with a weak measuring field of high frequency.
- a higher-frequency voltage with low power is superimposed on the induction coils.
- the higher frequency voltage has no influence on the seal; In the same catfish, this does not result in any heating of the coating metal or steel strip.
- the higher-frequency induction can be filtered out of the strong signal of the normal seal and then provides a signal proportional to the distance from the sensor. With this, the position of the belt in the guide channel can be detected and regulated.
- FIG. 1 shows the principle of hot-dip coating of a metal strand 1, in particular a steel strip.
- the metal strand to be coated 1 enters vertically from below into the guide channel 4 of the coating system.
- the guide channel 4 forms the lower end of a container 3, which is filled with liquid coating metal 2.
- the metal strand 1 is guided vertically upward in the direction of movement X. So that the liquid coating metal 2 can not leak from the container 3, an electromagnetic inductor 5 is arranged in the region of the guide channel 4. This consists of two halves 5a and 5b, one of which is arranged laterally of the metal strand 1. In the electromagnetic inductor 5, an electromagnetic blocking field is generated which retains the liquid coating metal 2 in the container 3 and thus prevents it from leaking.
- the inductor 5 is supplied by an electrical supply means 6 with single-phase alternating current.
- the frequency f of the alternating current is less than 500 Hz.
- mains frequency ie 50 or 60 Hz, is used.
- the more detailed structure of the region of the guide channel 4 can be seen in FIG.
- the inductor 5 (or its two halves 5a and 5b) has grooves 9, in which an induction coil 7 is inserted, which is supplied with the alternating current and thus generates the electromagnetic blocking field. Care should be taken in particular to ensure that the metal strand 1 is guided in the direction N normally on the strand 1 as centrally as possible in the guide channel 4.
- guide means 8 are provided, which are formed in FIG. 2 as guide rollers 8a. These are arranged under the guide channel 4 and ensure that a central insertion of the metal strand 1 takes place in the guide channel 4.
- the guide means 8 it is also possible to form the guide means 8 in other ways.
- electrical correction coils 8 b are provided which generate a regulated magnetic field and thus the metal strand 1 in the middle of the guide channel 4.
- both the induction coils 7 and the correction coils 8b are positioned in the grooves 9 of the inductor 5a, 5b at the same height, as viewed in the direction of movement X.
- Fig. 4 the side view is sketched on one of the two Induktorhdonn 5b.
- both the induction coil 7 and the correction coil 8b are accommodated in the grooves 9 of the inductor 5b.
- three correction coils 8b ', 8b "and 8b" arranged side by side are provided, which act on the width of the metal rod 1 and can thus hold it centrally in the guide channel 4.
- the correction spurs 8b ', 8b “and 8b”' are driven with the same current phase present in the induction coil 7, in front of which the correction coils 8b ', 8b ", 8b”' are arranged.
