Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding closure for metallurgical vessels according to the preamble of claim 1 and a spout for a sliding closure according to claim 6.
  • Sliding shutters of this type are known in various embodiments. They contain at least two mutually bracing refractory closure plates, one of which is arranged in a slide unit and is used to open and close a spout opening. By longitudinal displacement of the slide unit, the outlet can be brought into a throttle or closed position and thus a controlled pouring of the melt quantity from the vessel.
  • the EP 1 119 428 B1 discloses a sliding closure with a fixed refractory closure plate and a slide plate which is displaceable relative thereto. With the slide plate is a replaceable refractory Spout sleeve clamped, which is pressed by means of a tensioning element to this slide plate and forms a part of the slide unit together with this.
  • mortar is introduced between the end faces of the pouring spout and the closure plate which can be braced with it (slide plate or the lower fixed closure plate). It is disadvantageous that the mortar can escape in places when pressing the spout to the closure plate, which leads to the formation of leaks.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a sliding closure, in which leaks between the spout and the brace with this closure plate are largely avoided.
  • a spout for a sliding closure is to be created.
  • the pouring sleeve and / or the closure plate which can be braced with the latter have an annular peripheral collar projecting on the front side, which encloses a recess surrounding the pouring opening for receiving sealing material.
  • the spout is pressed with the peripheral collar to the closure plate.
  • the sealing material remains in the recess, so that a perfect seal without leakage between the spout and the closure plate is guaranteed.
  • Fig.1 shows a sliding closure 1 of a metallurgical vessel, which is for example a pan used in a continuous casting plant, is filled into the molten steel. From the vessel itself are in Fig. 1 only the outer steel shell 2 and a refractory inlet sleeve 4 illustrates. The inlet sleeve 4 forms the first part of a spout opening 5.
  • the sliding closure 1 has a housing part 7 which is mounted on the vessel and in which a fixed refractory closure plate 10 which bears sealingly against the sleeve 4 is fastened.
  • a slide unit 9 of the sliding closure 1 a refractory slide plate 11 is held, which serves to open and close the spout opening 5.
  • the ladle outlet can be brought from the illustrated in the drawing open position in a throttle or closed position.
  • the manner in which the slide unit 9 is guided on corresponding guideways of the housing part 7 and thereby the slide plate 11 is pressed by means provided therefor spring members to the fixed closure plate 10 is known per se and is therefore not described in detail.
  • a replaceable refractory spout 16 To the slide plate 11 includes a replaceable refractory spout 16. This is pressed by means of a tensioning member 17 to the slide plate 11.
  • the tensioning sleeve 17 acting on the spout 16 is in a bayonet-type connection with the spool unit 9.
  • the spout 16 has a frontally projecting, annular peripheral collar 20, which encloses a front-side recess 21 of the spout 16 surrounding the spout opening 5.
  • the recess 21 is provided for receiving sealing material. This can be entered directly into the depression 21 or else in one Slide or disc-shaped cassette, which melts when heated, are inserted.
  • sealing material is usually mortar, but it could also be used other combinations of materials or felt-like deposits.
  • the spout 16 is pressed with the peripheral collar 20 to the slide plate 11. In this case, the sealing material remains in the recess 21, so that a perfect seal without leaks between the spout 16 and the slide plate 11 is ensured.
  • Fig. 2 shows a variant in which the slide plate 11 'has a front projection 23 which projects into the recess 21' of the spout 16 ', wherein its peripheral surface 24 abuts against the inner surface 25 and its end face 26 at a distance from the bottom 27 of the recess 21st ' lies.
  • the circumferential surface 24 of the projection 23 and the inner surface 25 of the circumferential collar 20 'and the recess 21' is conical, tapering in the direction of the bottom 27 of the recess 21 'out.
  • both the slide plate and the spout sleeve could have a circumferential collar and a recess. However, it is the most advantageous in terms of production engineering when the spout is provided with the recess and with the peripheral collar.
  • Fig. 1 has been shown and described above, only a fixed closure plate comprehensive sliding closure, in which the spout sleeve is clamped to the slide plate and forms together with this part of the slide unit.
  • the inventive provided with the frontally projecting annular peripheral collar and the frontal, surrounded by the peripheral collar and the spout surrounding recess Ausgusshülse could of course also in a sliding closure comprising two fixed closure plates and a valve plate arranged therebetween, find use and in this case then instead be clamped with the slide plate with the lower fixed closure plate.
