Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bandgießmaschine, bei der eine Metallschmelze von einem Schmelzenaufgabesystem mit einer bestimmten Dicke auf ein horizontal angeordnetes, umlaufendes Gießband aufgegeben und darauf bis zur weitgehenden Durcherstarrung abgekühlt wird, wobei beidseitig des Gießbandes seitliche Begrenzungen bildende Stützflächen vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a strip casting machine, in which a molten metal from a melt delivery system with a certain thickness is applied to a horizontally arranged, circumferential casting belt and cooled to substantial solidification, wherein on both sides of the casting belt lateral boundaries forming support surfaces are provided.

Bei derartigen Bandgießmaschinen erfolgt eine seitliche Begrenzung der die Metallschmelze aufnehmenden Fläche des Gießbandes durch ortsfeste Stützflächen oder durch mit der Schmelze mitlaufende Dammblockketten.In strip casting machines of this type, a lateral boundary of the surface of the casting belt receiving the molten metal is carried by stationary support surfaces or by dam block chains running along with the melt.

Ortsfeste Stützflächen beeinflussen den Gießprozess negativ und unterliegen einem hohen Verschleiß, während Dammblockketten einerseits auch dem Verschleiß unterliegen, und erfordern andererseits einen hohen Fertigungsaufwand, abgesehen von dem relativ hohen Gewicht der Bauteile.Stationary support surfaces affect the casting process negatively and are subject to high wear, while dam block chains on the one hand also subject to wear, and on the other hand require a high manufacturing cost, apart from the relatively high weight of the components.

Die Schrift DE 10 2008 031 476 A1 offenbart eine Bandgießmaschine, bei welcher flüssiges Metall von der Gießpfanne über eine Verteilvorrichtung auf ein horizontales Band gegeben wird, wobei für das flüssiges Metall als seitliche Begrenzungen bildenden Stützflächen 13,14 vorgesehen sind.The font DE 10 2008 031 476 A1 discloses a strip casting machine in which molten metal is added from the ladle via a distributor to a horizontal belt, with the liquid metal forming lateral support surfaces 13, 14.

Aus WO 2004/033129 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Verbundmaterialbändem mit umlaufenden Seitenbegrenzungen bekannt (s. Fig.2.2 und 2.4), wobei je ein als Endlosband ausgestaltetes Schmelzbegrenzungsband 11, 12 an jeder Seite am durchlaufenden Stahlband 3 mitgeführt und angepresst ist. Die Abstützung erfolgt hier an der ortsfesten Seitenführungsmechanik 7.Out WO 2004/033129 A1 is a device for the production of Verbundbändem with circumferential side boundaries known (s. Fig.2.2 and 2.4 ), each one designed as an endless belt melt limiting band 11, 12 carried on each side of the continuous steel strip 3 and is pressed. The support takes place here on the stationary side guide mechanism. 7

Eine Kühlung der Seitenführung ist in der Schrift US 2002/0079084 A1 im Absatz 13 erwähnt.A cooling of the side guide is in the Scriptures US 2002/0079084 A1 mentioned in paragraph 13.

Mittel wie Magnete, die das Band stabilisieren bzw. gegen die Kühleinrichtung ziehen, sind zwar aus den Schriften JP 59 220258 A und US 4 506 725 A bekannt; diese Dokumente betreffen jedoch die Bandführung des Gießbandes und nicht des Seitenbandes.Means such as magnets that stabilize the belt or pull against the cooling device, although from the writings JP 59 220258 A and US 4 506 725 A known; However, these documents relate to the tape guide of the casting belt and not the sideband.

Beim vertikalen Stranggießen ist es schon aus der US 594583 bekannt, eine ortsfeste Kokille in Form von Kühlkammern vorzusehen an deren Vorderseite umlaufende Metallbänder entlang geführt werden, die die eigentlichen Berührungsflächen für die flüssige und langsam erstarrende Metallschmelze bilden.When vertical continuous casting, it is already out of the US 594583 known to provide a stationary mold in the form of cooling chambers are guided along the front circumferential metal bands along, which form the actual contact surfaces for the liquid and slowly solidifying molten metal.

Wesentlich für die Primärkühlung innerhalb der Kokille ist der Wärmeübergang von der Schmelze bzw. dem erstarrenden Block auf die Kühlkammern.Essential for the primary cooling within the mold is the heat transfer from the melt or the solidifying block to the cooling chambers.

Beim vertikalen Stranggießen wird sich dieser Kontakt zumindest in Grenzen durch den ferrostatischen Druck der Schmelze einstellen, d. h. die Schmelze drückt die umlaufenden Metallbänder gegen die Vorderseite der Kühlkammern.In vertical continuous casting, this contact will be at least limited by the ferrostatic pressure of the melt, d. H. the melt presses the circulating metal bands against the front of the cooling chambers.

Da beim Bandgießen der ferrostatische Druck zu vernachlässigen ist, kann bei einer vergleichsweisen Anordnung von umlaufenden Metallbändern der ausreichende Kontakt zu den die Metallbänder abstützenden Kühlkammern nicht sichergestellt werden.Since the ferritic pressure is negligible in strip casting, sufficient contact with the cooling chambers supporting the metal strips can not be ensured in a comparative arrangement of circumferential metal bands.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher eine Bandgießmaschine bereitzustellen, die im Bereich der Primärkühlung sich durch eine sehr effektive Kühlwirkung auszeichnet und einen vergleichsweise einfachen Aufbau aufweist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a strip casting machine, which is characterized in the primary cooling by a very effective cooling effect and has a relatively simple structure.

Wesentlich für die Kühlwirkung bzw. des Wärmeübergange, ist der Kontakt des umlaufenden Metallbandes mit der Vorderseite der Kühlkammern.Essential for the cooling effect or the heat transfer, the contact of the rotating metal strip with the front of the cooling chambers.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit einer Bandgießmaschine, bei der eine Metallschmelze von einem Schmelzenaufgabesystem mit einer bestimmten Dicke auf ein horizontal angeordnetes, umlaufendes Gießband aufgegeben und darauf bis zur weitgehenden Durcherstarrung abgekühlt wird, wobei beidseitig des Gießbandes seitliche Begrenzungen bildende Stützflächen vorgesehen sind, dadurch,
dass die Stützflächen aus jeweils mit dem Gießband mitlaufenden, vertikal angeordneten, umlaufenden, Metallbändern bestehen, die sich mit ihren von der Schmelze und dem erstarrenden Band abgekehrten Rückseite an der Vorderseite von ortsfest angeordneten Kühlkammern abstützen, und dass innerhalb der Kühlkammern (2) Magnete (6) angeordnet sind, die das Metallband (1) gegen die Vorderseite der Kühlkammern (2) ziehen.This object is achieved with a strip casting machine, in which a molten metal from a melt delivery system with a certain thickness is applied to a horizontally arranged, continuous casting belt and cooled to substantial solidification, with both sides of the casting belt lateral boundaries forming support surfaces are provided, characterized
in that the support surfaces consist in each case of vertically arranged, circulating, metal bands running along with the casting belt, which are supported at the front side by stationary cooling chambers with their melt and the solidifying belt, and in that inside the cooling chambers (2) magnets ( 6) are arranged, which pull the metal strip (1) against the front of the cooling chambers (2).

Bei einer alternativen Lösung ist eine Bandgießmaschine, bei der eine Metallschmelze von einem Schmelzenaufgabesystem mit einer bestimmten Dicke auf ein horizontal angeordnetes, umlaufendes Gießband (1) aufgegeben und darauf bis zur weitgehenden Durcherstarrung abgekühlt wird, wobei beidseitig des Gießbandes seitliche Begrenzungen bildende Stützflächen vorgesehen sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet,
dass die Stützflächen aus jeweils mit dem Gießband mitlaufenden, vertikal angeordneten, umlaufenden, Metallbändern (3) bestehen, die sich mit ihren von der Schmelze und dem erstarrenden Band abgekehrten Rückseite an der Vorderseite von ortsfest angeordneten Kühlkammern (2) abstützen,
und dass in der Vorderseite der Kühlkammern (2) - der Rückseite des Metallbandes (3) zugewandte - Öffnungen oder Nuten (5) vorgesehen sind und dass in den Kühlkammern (2) durch das Kühlmittel ein Unterdruck erzeugbar ist, durch den das Metallband (3) gegen die Vorderseite der Kühlkammer (2) gezogen oder gedrückt wird.In an alternative solution is a strip casting machine, in which a molten metal from a melt delivery system with a certain thickness on a horizontally disposed, circumferential casting belt (1) is abandoned and cooled to substantially solidification, wherein on both sides of the casting belt lateral boundaries forming support surfaces are provided characterized,
that the support surfaces consist of vertically arranged, circulating, metal bands (3), each of which runs along with the casting belt, and which, with their rear side facing away from the melt and the solidifying belt, are supported at the front by stationary cooling chambers (2);
and that in the front side of the cooling chambers (2) - the back of the metal strip (3) facing - openings or grooves (5) are provided and that in the cooling chambers (2) by the coolant, a negative pressure can be generated through which the metal strip (3 ) is pulled or pushed against the front of the cooling chamber (2).

Selbstverständlich können die beiden Alternativen, d. h. Magnete und Unterdruck auch kombiniert werden.Of course, the two alternatives, d. H. Magnets and negative pressure can also be combined.

Die Kühlkammern sind durch ein Fluid kühlbar, wobei der Unterdruck durch das Fluid erzeugbar ist. Das Fluid kann beispielsweise Wasser oder Luft oder Öl sein.The cooling chambers can be cooled by a fluid, wherein the negative pressure can be generated by the fluid. The fluid may be, for example, water or air or oil.

Ein besonderer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht darin, dass die Kraft, mit der die mitlaufenden seitlichen Metallbänder an die Vorderseite der Kühlkammer gedrückt oder besser gesagt, an diese heran gezogen werden, variabel ist.A particular advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the force with which the moving lateral metal strips are pressed against the front side of the cooling chamber or, better said, pulled close to it, is variable.

So kann beispielsweise durch eine Veränderung der magnetischen Feldstärke und / oder des Unterdruckes die anziehende Kraft verändert, also verringert oder erhöht werden, was jeweils direkten Einfluss auf die über die Metallbänder erreichbare Kühlwirkung hat.For example, by changing the magnetic field strength and / or the negative pressure, the attractive force can be changed, ie reduced or increased, which in each case has a direct influence on the cooling effect achievable via the metal bands.

Alternativ kann der Unterdruck bei Fluidkühlsystemen reguliert werden.Alternatively, the negative pressure can be regulated in fluid cooling systems.

Bei einem Verfahren zur Anwendung der Bandgießmaschine nach Anspruch 4 wird als Fluid Wasser oder Luft oder Öl eingesetzt.In a method of using the strip casting machine according to claim 4 is used as the fluid water or air or oil.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung für die seitliche Abdichtung der Bandgießmaschine zeichnet sich insbesondere durch den geringen Fertigungsaufwand, den geringen mechanischen Verschleiß und die vergleichsweise geringen Bauteilgewichte aus.The inventive solution for the lateral sealing of the strip casting is characterized in particular by the low production costs, the low mechanical wear and the comparatively low component weights.

Hinzu kommt natürlich die einfache Montage und Justiermöglichkeit.In addition, of course, comes with easy installation and adjustment.

Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend mit Bezug auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 schematisch die Bandgießmaschine,
  • Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 die Anordnung von Magneten und einer Fluidkühlung und
  • Fig. 4 schematisch eine Fluidkühlung
Showing:
  • Fig. 1 schematically the strip casting machine,
  • Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 the arrangement of magnets and a fluid cooling and
  • Fig. 4 schematically a fluid cooling

In der Figur 1 ist das Schmelzenaufgabesystem nicht dargestellt, das die Schmelze dosiert auf das horizontal umlaufende Gießband 1 aufgibt.In the FIG. 1 the melt delivery system is not shown, which doses the melt on the horizontally encircling casting belt 1 gives up.

Zur seitlichen Abstützung sind beidseitig des Gießbandes vertikal angeordnete Metallbänder 3 vorgesehen, die sich mit dem Gießband mitbewegen und durch Umlenkräder 4 umlaufend geführt werden.For lateral support vertically arranged metal bands 3 are provided on both sides of the casting belt, which move with the casting belt and are guided by deflection wheels 4 circumferentially.

Im Bereich der Schmelzenaufgabe und den sich anschließenden Erstarrungsbereich gleiten die Metallbänder an Kühlkammern 2 entlang, die im Einzelnen mit Bezug auf die Figuren 2 bis 4 erläutert werden.In the area of the melt application and the subsequent solidification area, the metal strips slide along cooling chambers 2, which are described in detail with reference to FIGS FIGS. 2 to 4 be explained.

Die Kühlkammern 2 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kupfer um einen hohen Wärmeübergang zu erreichten.The cooling chambers 2 are preferably made of copper to achieve a high heat transfer.

Aus der Figur 2 ist ersichtlich, dass die Kühlkammern 2 an ein - durch Pfeile angedeutetes Kühlwassersystem 8,9 angeschlossen sind, um die für die Erstarrung der Schmelze notwendige Kühlung zu erreichen.From the FIG. 2 It can be seen that the cooling chambers 2 are connected to a cooling water system 8, 9 indicated by arrows in order to achieve the cooling necessary for the solidification of the melt.

Um ein Anziehen oder Andrücken des umlaufenden Metallbandes 3 an die Kühlkammer 2 zu erreichen, kann beispielsweise in der Kühlkammer 2 ein Unterdruck erzeugt werden.In order to achieve a tightening or pressing of the circulating metal strip 3 to the cooling chamber 2, for example, in the cooling chamber 2, a negative pressure can be generated.

Hierzu können in der der Rückseite des Metallbandes 3 zugewandten Vorderseite der Kühlkammer Nuten 5 eingearbeitet sein, die mit einem Unterdruckanschluss 10 verbunden sind.For this purpose, in the back of the metal strip 3 facing the front of the cooling chamber grooves 5 may be incorporated, which are connected to a vacuum port 10.

Dieser Unterdruck bewirkt eine sichere Anlage, also ein Anziehen, des Metallbandes gegen die Vorderseite der Kühlkammer, so dass damit nicht nur die seitliche Abdichtung gesichert wird, sondern auch der notwendige Kontakt für den Wärmeübergang.This negative pressure causes a secure system, so tightening the metal strip against the front of the cooling chamber, so that not only the lateral seal is secured, but also the necessary contact for the heat transfer.

Unterstützt wird diese Anziehungskraft durch die in den Kühlkammern angeordneten Magneten 6.This attraction is supported by the magnets 6 arranged in the cooling chambers.

Die Figur 3 zeigt schematisch eine Ausführung, bei der lediglich mit einem durch das Kühlmittelsystem 7,8,9 erzeugten Unterdruck gearbeitet wirdThe FIG. 3 schematically shows an embodiment in which one works only with a negative pressure generated by the coolant system 7,8,9

Entsprechend kann, wie in der Figur 4 dargestellt, die das Metallband gegen die Vorderseite der Kühlkammer ziehende Kraft auch allein durch Magnete 6 aufgebracht werden.Accordingly, as in the FIG. 4 illustrated that the metal strip against the front of the cooling chamber pulling force are applied by magnets 6 alone.

Das Kühlmittelsystem 8,9 übernimmt hierbei nur die Kühlfunktion.The coolant system 8,9 assumes only the cooling function.
