Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine der am freien Ende eines Bestandteil eines Elektroofens bildenden Elektrodentragarms befindlichen Kontaktplatte auswechselbar zuzuordnende Kontaktbacke für die mittels eines sich am Elektrodentragarm führenden Spannbügels kontaktbewirkend dagegen zur Anlage bringbare auswechselbare Elektrode.
Während des laufenden Schmelzbetriebes kommt es hervorgerufen durch von den aufsteigenden Gasen mitgerissenen Abbrand zu Ablagerungen zwischen der Bestandteil des Elektrodentragarms bildenden Kontaktplatte und der daran lösbar angesetzten Kontaktbacke, was zu einer fortschreitenden Beeinträchtigung des Stromüberganges von der Kontaktplatte auf die Kontaktbacke führt. Der Effekt wird dann auch noch dadurch verstärkt, dass ein satter Sitz der Kontaktbacke an der Kontaktplatte sich über die Kontaktbacke mit der Kontaktplatte lösbar zusammenfassenden Schraubverbindungen nicht herbeiführen lässt, woraus die Möglichkeit einer begrenzten Verlagerung der Kontaktbacke gegenüber der Kontaktplatte während des laufenden Betriebes resultiert, was nicht etwa zum Abtragen von Ablagerungen zwischen Kontaktbacke und Kontaktplatte führt, sondern zu sich verstärkenden Ablagerungen durch Elektrodenabrieb mit der Folge der fortschreitenden Beeinträchtigung des Stromüberganges von der Kontaktplatte auf die Kontaktbacke.During the current melting operation, it is caused by deposits entrained by the rising gases to deposits between the component of the electrode support arm forming contact plate and the contact jaw detachably attached thereto, resulting in a progressive deterioration of the current transition from the contact plate to the contact jaw. The effect is then also reinforced by the fact that a snug fit of the contact jaw on the contact plate on the contact jaw with the contact plate releasably summarizing screw connections not which gives rise to the possibility of a limited displacement of the contact jaw against the contact plate during operation, which does not lead to the removal of deposits between the contact jaw and contact plate, but to reinforcing deposits by electrode abrasion with the result of progressive impairment of the current transition of the Contact plate on the contact jaw.
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Lösung zu entwickeln, die basierend auf einer einerseits großflächig gegen die Bestandteil des Elektrodentragarms bildende Kontaktplatte und andererseits großflächig gegen die mit ihr in Wechselwirkung tretende Elektrode zur Anlage kommend die Beeinträchtigung des Stromüberganges von der Kontaktplatte auf die daran angesetzte, mit der Elektrode in Wechselwirkung tretende Kontaktbacke behebt, zumindest mindert.Against this background, the invention has the object to develop a solution based on a on the one hand large area against the component of the electrode support arm forming contact plate and on the other hand over a large area against the coming into contact with the electrode coming to the plant the impairment of the current transition from the contact plate on the attached thereto, interacting with the electrode contact jaw fixes, at least reduces.
Die Aufgabe wird mit einer am freien Ende eines Bestandteil eines Elektroofens bildenden Elektrodentragarms auswechselbar angeordnete Kontaktbacke für die mittels eines sich am Elektrodentragarm führenden Spannbügels kontaktbewirkend dagegen zur Anlage bringbare auswechselbare Elektrode gelöst, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass
- die gegen einen Teilbereich der Elektrode flächig zur Anlage bringbare Kontaktbacke mittig von einem zum Tragarm hin auslaufenden Durchgang versehen ist, der im Tragarm seine Fortsetzung findet.
- the contact jaw, which can be brought into abutment against a partial region of the electrode, is provided centrally by a passage which leads to the support arm and which continuation takes place in the support arm.
Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 9.Embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims 2 to 9.
Während des laufenden Betriebs anfallender Abbrand wird durch den in der Kontaktbacke ausgebildeten, zum Tragarm hin auslaufenden Durchgang kontinuierlich ausgetragen. Zu einer merklichen Beeinträchtigung des Stromübergangs von den Bestandteil des Elektrodentragarms bildenden Kontaktplatten auf die mit der Elektrode in Wechselwirkung tretende Kontaktbacke kommt es nicht mehr.Burning occurring during operation is continuously carried out by the passage formed in the contact jaw and leaving the support arm. To a noticeable impairment of the current transfer from the component the electrode support arm forming contact plates on the interacting with the electrode contact jaw it is no longer.
Zur Unterbindung, zumindest zur Einschränkung der Ausbildung von auf Elektrodenabrieb zurückzuführenden Ablagerungen zwischen Kontaktplatte und Kontaktbacke trägt bei, wenn den bislang in Kauf zunehmenden Relativbewegungen zwischen der mit der Kontaktplatte über Schraubverbindungen lösbar zusammengefassten Kontaktbacke während der sich einstellenden Relativbewegungen zwischen Kontaktbacke und Kontaktplatte entgegengewirkt wird. Das lässt sich in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung in der Weise realisieren, dass die Kontaktbacke an der Rückseite beidseits mit sich vorzugsweise in der Vertikalen erstreckenden Rücksprüngen versehen wird, die Federn aufnehmen, deren Überstände sich in entsprechender, in der Kontaktplatte befindliche Rücksprünge diese Rücksprünge ausfüllend einfügen.To prevent, at least to limit the formation of attributable to electrode abrasion deposits between the contact plate and contact jaw contributes when counteracting the hitherto buying relative movements between the contact plate with screw detachably combined contact jaw counteracting during the adjusting relative movements between the contact jaw and contact plate. This can be realized in an embodiment of the invention in such a way that the contact jaw is provided on the back on both sides with preferably extending in the vertical recesses, record the springs whose supernatants insert in corresponding, located in the contact plate recesses filling these recesses.
In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand eines in ganz schematischer Weise wiedergegebenen Ausführungsbeispiels weitergehend erläutert. Dargestellt ist in
- Figur 1
- ein Horizontal-Schnitt durch das Ensemble im Bereich der Einspannung der Elektrode, abgebrochen,
- Figur 2
- eine Ansicht der Bestandteil des Ensembles bildenden Kontaktbacke von ihrer tragarmseitigen Anlageseite her (Pfeil II in Figur 1).

- a horizontal section through the ensemble in the region of the clamping of the electrode, aborted,
- FIG. 2
- a view of the component of the ensemble forming contact jaw forth from their Tragarmseitigen system side (arrow II in Figure 1).
In der Darstellung ist mit 11 der Stirnseitenbereich des Elektrodentragarms bezeichnet. Der Elektrodentragarm besteht aus einem Kastenprofil, das mittig durchgängig ist (111). Vor Kopf des Elektrodentragarms 11 ist die Kontaktbacke 12 angesetzt, und zwar über Schraubverbindungen 121 zwischen Kontaktbacke 12 und den Bestandteil des Elektrodentragarms bildenden Kontaktplatten 112. Die auswechselbare Elektrode 21 wird über einen nicht dargestellten, sich am Tragarm 11 führenden Spannbügel kontaktgebend gegen die Kontaktbacke 12 zur Anlage gebracht. Die kontaktgebenden Flächen der Kontaktbacke 12 sind mit 122 bezeichnet. Mit 123 sind die Kontaktbacke 12 durchsetzende Kühlkanäle bezeichnet. Die Kontaktbacke 12 ist mittig durchgängig (124) zum im Tragarm 11 ausgebildeten Durchgang 111.In the illustration, 11 denotes the front side region of the electrode support arm. The electrode support arm consists of a box profile which is continuous in the middle (111). Before the head of the
Zwecks Vermeidung von Ablagerungen zwischen den Anlageflächen 126 der Kontaktbacke 12 gegenüber dem Tragarmkontakten (112) anfallenden Abbrandes ist erfindungsgemäß eine Abschrägung der vertikalen Anlageflächen 126 der Kontaktbacke 12 gegenüber den Tragarmkontakten 112 im Bereich des Durchgangs 124 in der Kontaktbacke 12 vorgesehen, im dargestellten Fall einerseits (126') einfallend zum Durchgang
124 und andererseits abfallend (126") zum Umfang 127 der Kontaktbacke 12. Eine Alternative wäre eine vom Umfang der Kontaktbacke zum Durchgang in der Kontaktbacke hin einfallende Abschrägung.In order to avoid deposits between the
124 and on the other hand, sloping (126 ") to the
Dank dieser Abschrägungen kommt es nicht mehr zu den beeinträchtigenden Ablagerungen zwischen Kontaktbacke und Tragarmkontakten, da anfallender Abbrand vollständig durch den Tragarm (Pfeil A in Figur 1) abgeführt wird, gegebenenfalls dann auch nach außen hin (Pfeil A' in Figur 1). Dazu trägt der sich im Kontaktbackendurchgang ausbildende, sich in den Tragarmdurchgang fortsetzende Sog während des Schmelzbetriebes bei.Thanks to these chamfers, it no longer comes to the impairing deposits between the contact jaw and Tragarmkontakten because accumulating burn is completely dissipated by the support arm (arrow A in Figure 1), if necessary then also outwardly (arrow A 'in Figure 1). Contributes to the training in contact jaw passage, continuing in the Tragarmdurchgang suction during the melting operation at.
In Ausgestaltung kann ergänzend zur Schraubverbindung 121 zwischen Kontaktbacke 12 und Elektrodentragarm 11 eine Nut-Feder-Verbindung vorgesehen sein, die Relativbewegungen zwischen Kontaktbacke 12 und Tragarm 11, d.h. dessen Kontaktplatten 112, unterbindet. Diese Möglichkeit ist in Figur 2 angedeutet. Danach sind tragarmseitig in der Anlagefläche 126 der Kontaktbacke 12 Nuten 128 ausgebildet, in die sich mit Überstand Federn 129 einfügen, deren Überstand sich bei am Tragarm 11 angesetzter Kontaktbacke 12 in den vor Kopf des Tragarms 11 befindlichen Kontaktplatten 112 ausgebildete, korrespondierende Nuten einfügen.In a refinement, in addition to the
