Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ladle flow control system installed on the outer side of a base plate at the liquid steel outlet of a ladle, which belongs to the technical field of machine manufacturing.
  • the rail wheel is generally set on the slider, and the rail is fixed on the carrier frame.
  • the relative motion between the slider and the carrier frame in this type of flow control system is achieved through rolling of the rail wheel on the rail. Since the pressure transmission in this structure is achieved by means of the rail wheel, its force transmission point is constantly changing, which results in rather obvious fluctuation in pressure. In this way, potential safety hazards may exist, so that the safety factor of the machine is greatly reduced and untimely maintenance may cause accident.
  • the technical object of the present invention is to provide a ladle flow control system aiming at overcoming the deficiency of the prior art.
  • the fluctuation of system pressure is obviously reduced, so that the overall stability of the system is improved.
  • a ladle flow control system includes a base plate fixed on the ladle, wherein a housing is fixed on this base plate. The top of the housing is connected with the driving mechanism of the ladle sliding nozzle.
  • a carrier frame is provided on this housing, an elastic used for generating pressure is set on the carrier frame, and a slider is provided on the carrier frame. Notches are set on the corresponding surfaces of housing and slider. The bottom plate and the slide plate are respectively embedded in the notch.
  • a rolling mechanism is provided on said carrier frame, and a guide mechanism is set on the slider correspondingly. The guide mechanism correspondingly set on the slider makes reciprocating motion relative to the rolling mechanism set on the carrier frame, so as to control the opening or closing of the ladle sliding nozzle.
  • the rolling mechanism may be composed of the rollers symmetrically set on the carrier frame, and the guide mechanism may be the guide rail set on the edge of the slider.
  • the orientation pin-jointed part is correspondingly set on the inner side at one end of the carrier frame and on the outer side at one end of the slider, so that the slider may rotate around the carrier frame in a definite mode with the orientation pin-jointed part as its rotating shaft, without the risk of detachment by itself.
  • the orientation pin-jointed part is composed of an arc notch set on the inner side at one end of the carrier frame and a convex pin correspondingly set on the outer side at one end of the slider, or it is composed of a convex pin set on the inner side at one end of the carrier frame and an arc notch correspondingly set on the outer side at one end of the slider, with this convex pin being embedded in the arc notch.
  • This arc notch is in the shape of a sleeve with an opening being set on its side wall. The width of this opening is corresponding to the diameter of the convex pin set on the outer side at the bottom of the slider.
  • the convex pin is embedded along the opening of the arc notch.
  • the elastic is a spring box with built-in spring nest. The upper and lower ends of this spring box constitute a carrier frame through two mutually connected beams, and this carrier frame is hinged on the housing.
  • the rolling mechanism is symmetrically set on the carrier frame, and the guide mechanism is correspondingly set on the slider.
  • the fluctuation of its pressure is obviously reduced, so that the overall stability of the system is improved.
  • Figure 1 is the No. 1 overall structure scheme of the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the present invention provides a ladle flow control system, which includes the base plate 1 fixed on the ladle.
  • a housing 2 is fixed on this base plate 1, and one end of the housing 2 is connected with the driving mechanism 3 of the sliding nozzle.
  • a carrier frame 4 is provided on this housing 2, and an elastic used for generating pressure is provided on the carrier frame 4.
  • a slider 5 is also set through a pivot on the carrier frame 4.
  • the notch 21 and notch 51 (Not shown in the Figure) are set on the corresponding surfaces of the housing 2 and the slider 5.
  • the bottom plate 22 and the slide plate 52 are respectively embedded in the notch 21 and the notch 51.
  • a rolling mechanism is set on the carrier frame 4, and a guide mechanism is correspondingly set on the slider 5.
  • the guide mechanism correspondingly set on the slider makes reciprocating motion relative to the rolling mechanism set on the carrier frame, so as to control the opening or closing of the ladle sliding nozzle.
  • the rolling mechanism is the roller 41 set on the carrier frame.
  • Figure 2 is the partial structure scheme of the half-axle roller, which constitutes the rolling mechanism of the present invention. As may be known from Figure 2 , said roller 41 may be set as half-axle rollers according to need, and the structure of the half-axle 42 is as shown in Figure 2 .
  • the roller 41 is set on the half-axle 42 and may rotate with the half-axle 42 as its shaft.
  • FIG. 3 is the No.1 structure scheme of the slider of the present invention.
  • the guide mechanism is the rail 51 set at the edge of slider 5.
  • This rail 51 is fixed on the slider 5. Since this rail 51 is an easily worn part, it is required to separately set the rail 51 and the slider 5, so as to facilitate the replacement of rail 51.
  • Figure 4 is the No.2 overall structure scheme of the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the orientation pin-jointed part is correspondingly set on the inner side at the bottom of one end of carrier frame 4 and set on the outer side at the bottom of one end of slider 5, so that the slider 5 rotates around the carrier frame 4 with the orientation pin-jointed part as its rotating shaft, which may facilitate the orientation of slider 5 in the process when it is installed on the carrier frame 4.
  • Figure 5 is the No.2 structure scheme of the slider of the present invention.
  • the orientation pin-jointed part is composed of the arc notch 44 set on the inner side at the bottom of one end of the carrier frame and the convex pin 52 set on the outer side at the bottom of one end of slider 5, with this convex pin 52 being embedded in the arc notch 44.
  • the arc notch 44 is in the shape of a sleeve with an opening being set on its sidewall.
  • the width of this opening 441 (As shown in Figure 1 ) corresponds to the diameter of the convex pin 52 set on the outer side at the bottom of slider 5.
  • the convex pin 52 will be embedded along the opening 441 of the arc notch 44.
  • said elastic is the spring nest 6.
  • a room 45 is provided on the carrier frame 4 to accommodate this spring nest 6.
  • the orientation pin-jointed part correspondingly set on the inner side at the bottom of carrier frame 4 and on the outer side at the bottom of slider 5 may also be composed of a convex pin (not shown in the figure) set on the inner side at the bottom of carrier frame 4 and the notch 53 set on the outer side at the bottom of slider 5. This convex pin 52 is embedded in the notch 53.
  • a cylinder bracket 31 for the driving mechanism of the sliding nozzle is set on the top of the housing 2, and three sets of driving mechanisms for sliding nozzle are set in this cylinder bracket 31, which are designed to drive the motion of slider 5.
  • a heat shield panel 7 used for heat insulation is also provided on the external of carrier frame 4.
