Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a strand guiding element for guiding a round strand in a continuous casting machine.
  • the strand guide rollers of the strand guide element can be made manually to different strand diameter.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is that the strand guide element can not be automatically adapted to different strand diameter, and that when adjusting two strand guide rollers must be made separately.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to present a structurally simple strand guide element for guiding a strand in a continuous casting machine, which can be automatically adapted to different strand sizes.
  • a strand guide element is formed with only a single formed as a linear motor Anstellelement, the strand guide rollers of the strand guide element can be easily and easily automated by the linear motor to the strand (for example, to different strand diameter) can be employed.
  • the contact force of the strand guide rollers to the strand can be easily adjusted by the extension or retraction of the linear motor, so that, for example, the holding force of the strand guide element, which acts on a strand in a vertical or oblique strand guide, easily adjusted can be.
  • the traverse with the two wings, and the two wings with the linear motor are each hinged together, whereby stresses in the strand guide element can be effectively avoided.
  • an intermediate region of the traverse, the first rocker and the second rocker is disposed between each of the first end portion and the first end portion.
  • each first strand guide roller is rotatably mounted, so that each two adjacent strand guide rollers have an angle of 120 ° to each other.
  • the three strand guide rollers at an angle of 120 ° to each other.
  • the strand is guided centrally; In addition, this results in only low tensile stresses in the strand, which has a positive effect on the internal quality.
  • a rectangular, in particular square, or octagonal strand it is advantageous for a rectangular, in particular square, or octagonal strand, if two first strand guide rollers are rotatably mounted in the intermediate region of the traverse, so that each two adjacent strand guide rollers have an angle of 90 ° to each other.
  • the four strand guide rollers at an angle of 90 ° to each other.
  • the strand is guided centrally;
  • this in turn result in only low tensile stresses in the strand, which has a positive effect on the internal quality.
  • a strand guide roll is a concave, i. has inwardly curved side surface.
  • At least one strand guide roll preferably all strand guide rolls of the strand Strand guide element, is connected to a rotary drive for driving the strand guide roller.
  • the linear motor is designed as a fluidbeaufschlagter cylinder, such as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
  • the linear motor as an electric motor, e.g. as a Hubspindelantrieb is formed.
  • the linear motor has a displacement measuring device for measuring the displacement of the linear motor and / or a force measuring device for measuring the contact force of the linear motor.
  • the force-measuring device is designed as a pressure measuring device for measuring the pressure in the fluid-loaded cylinder.
  • the force measuring device is designed as a current measuring device for measuring the current in the electric motor.
  • a self-centering strand guide with a fixed support structure and a strand guide element, the strand guide rollers are arranged in a plane can be formed when the strand guide element relative to the support structure in at least one direction, preferably in both directions, the plane is floating.
  • the strand guiding element can center itself relative to the strand in at least one direction, preferably in both directions, of the plane.
  • each strand guiding element is mounted in a floating manner relative to the stationary supporting structure.
  • the Fig 1a ... 1c show a first embodiment of the strand guide element 1 with three strand guide rollers 6,7,8, which is used for guiding and supporting a steel strand 2.
  • the strand guide element 1 a fixed cross member 3, a first rocker 4 and a second rocker 5; Traverse 3 as well as first and second rocker arms 4,5 each comprise a first end portion 3a, 4a, 5a, a second end portion 3c, 4c, 5c and an intermediate portion 3b, 4b, 5b therebetween.
  • the end portions 3a, 3c of the traverse 3 are each connected via a joint with a first rocker 4 and a second rocker 5 movably connected.
  • the first rocker 4 and the second rocker 5 are each a first, second and third strand guide roller 6, 8 and 9 rotatably mounted.
  • two adjacent strand guide rollers eg 6 and 8, 8 and 9, or 6 and 9, each have an angle of 120 ° to each other.
  • the strand guide rollers are 6,8,9 as non-driven rollers, engl. idle rolls, executed. Nevertheless, it would be possible, one or preferably all three strand guide rollers driven as so-called. Design drive rollers.
  • each end region 3a, 3c of the cross member 3 has a through hole for receiving an axle 13.
  • each end region 3a, 3c of the traverse 3 has a recess for receiving an end region 4a, 5a of a rocker 4, 5.
  • the forces are centrally introduced from the cross member 3 in the wings 4, 5 and vice versa.
  • Also designed as a hydraulic cylinder linear motor 10 is hingedly connected to the end portions 4c, 5c of the two wings.
  • the strand guide rollers 6,8,9 have a concave, ie inwardly curved, curvature of the lateral surface, so that it comes between a strand guide roller and the strand 2 to a line contact.
  • the Hertzian pressure is reduced at the same load or the transferable forces can be substantially increased by a strand guide roller on the strand 2.
  • FIGS. 1b and 1c show the use of the strand guide element 1 after Fig. 1a to support a triangular or hexagonal strand 2.
  • the Fig. 1d shows a schematic representation of a strand guide element 1 with four strand guide rollers 6,7,8,9.
  • the difference to the strand guide element with three strand guide rollers according to Fig 1a ... 1c consists in that in the intermediate region 3b of the traverse 3, two first strand guide rollers 6.7 are arranged.
  • two adjacent strand guide rollers 6 ... 9 at an angle of 90 ° to each other.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for round, rectangular (in particular square) and octagonal strand cross-sections.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show two perspective views of the strand guide element Fig. 1a ,
  • Fig. 8 is one too Fig. 7 alternative construction of a self-centering strand guide shown.
  • the strand guide element 1 is disposed within the fixed support structure 11, but with the strand guide element 1 as it were in a through the fixed support structure 11 formed link guide is performed.
  • the degrees of freedom of the possible displacements are again represented by arrows.
  • the Fig. 4 . 5 and 6 show different views of a strand guide with five strand guiding elements 1.
  • the strand guiding elements 1 are arranged one above the other in the casting direction 12. Via the linear motors 10, each strand guiding element 1 can exert a defined clamping force on the strand 2, so that the cross section of the strand 2 can be reduced by the strand guiding elements 1 following in the casting direction 12 (for example by a so-called soft core or liquid core reduction).
