Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding closure for a container containing molten metal, with a fastened to this housing part and a longitudinally slidable relative to him slide unit, in each of which a refractory slide plate is used, said slide unit held by a plurality of perpendicular to her attached to the housing part holding means longitudinally displaceable is.
  • Sliding closures of this type are known in continuous casting drums for opening and closing the spout opening of a metal!
  • the steel melt causes high temperatures, which also spread to the valve body in the vicinity of the refractory slide plates.
  • much lower temperatures prevail, for example near room temperature in the environment.
  • the slider housing must still be stable in this area for the attachment of the holding means for the slide unit.
  • a sliding closure of the type mentioned is disclosed in EP-A-1 1 19 428, in which the housing part extends in the direction of displacement over the entire length and laterally to outside the holding saddles, so that these holding means in the area between the slide plates and the Longitudinal walls of the housing part are placed.
  • the holding means mounted in the housing part are connected to each other on both sides of the closure plates by a connecting rod.
  • This has the effect that the slide unit can only be released from the housing part if it can be displaced into this position lying outside the open position and the sliding position, in which case the spring elements are relaxed.
  • the invention has for its object to avoid these disadvantages and to provide a sliding closure of the type mentioned, which can be opened in a fault, especially if the slide unit is no longer movable.
  • the housing part should not be designed to be susceptible to cracking and, as it were, strong enough in terms of strength, so that the holding means, which hold the slide unit to it, are stored properly.
  • the housing part of the sliding closure in the longitudinal direction relatively close to the slide plates extending walls with lateral projections, which are provided with bearings for the individual holding means of the slide unit.
  • the stresses which otherwise arise in the housing part can be largely eliminated, since during operation the eye-shaped bearings can adapt to the heating independently of one another, even if considerable temperature differences are present there.
  • the required rigidity of the housing is nevertheless sufficient for the secure storage of the holding means for the slide unit in gengenous camps of the housing gegergellt and it is thus achieved an improved straight-lasting disc support.
  • the invention also provides that the housing part has on both sides two lateral projections each whose bearings are arranged in the housing part symmetrically to the spout opening of the sliding closure. This symmetrical arrangement allows optimal transmission of force of the holding means on the slide unit un d thus to the against each other to be pressed slide plates of the closure.
  • the invention further provides that the holding means are provided with slide rollers sliding on guideways of the slide unit parallel to the working plane of the sliding slide, which are acted upon against the guide tracks by spring members arranged in the bearings. In this way, any deformations of the eye-shaped bearings are compensated for without adversely affecting the guidance of the slider unit along its guideways.
  • the invention also provides that the slide unit is articulated on the housing part by means of a hinge connection, the hinge wings are attached on the one hand to the slide unit and on the other hand directly to the one longitudinal wall of the housing part. As a result, the hinge fins are securely fastened to the housing part.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sliding closure according to the invention, in the unfolded position and in perspective
  • Fig. 2 shows the slide closure of Figure 1 in section and in the closed position.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the sliding closure after
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view of an approach at Gepatiuseteii of the sliding closure of Figure 1 with a fixed holding means
  • Fig. 5 is a plan view of the approach with dissolved holding means.
  • the sliding closure 10 according to FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 is suitable as a closure member in a casting ladle not shown in detail or a container containing a similar molten metal, as these are used in particular in continuous casting of steel. Of course It is also suitable as a closure member for example for foundries in the non-ferrous metal sector.
  • This sliding closure 10 consists essentially of a housing part 1 and a slide unit 2, which can be displaced longitudinally with respect to it, and which is longitudinally on the housing part! 1 is articulated with a hinge connection 3.
  • an upper refractory bottom plate 4 is fixed, to which in the closed state, a lower refractory slide plate 5 of the slide unit 2 is pressed, the latter of several perpendicular to her on Gescousetei! 1 fixed holding means 6a, 6b and 7a, 7b is held longitudinally displaceable.
  • the normally cast housing part 1 has in the longitudinal direction relatively close to the plates 4, 5 extending outer walls 8, 9 with lateral lugs 10a, 10b and a, 1 1 b, which preferably with gengenförmigen bearings 12 for the individual holding means 6a, 6b and 7a, 7b of the slider unit 2 are provided.
  • These lateral walls 8, 9 of the housing part 1 are each dimensioned at a distance of approximately one to several centimeters to the outer sides of the plates 4, 5, so that this housing part has an approximately uniform temperature distribution in the operating state during the glazing.
  • the holding means 6a, 6b and 7a, 7b are in turn provided parallel to the working plane of the sliding closure 10 with guide rails 13a, 13b of the slide unit 2 sliding sliding rails 14, soft against the guideways 13a, 13b mounted in the bearings 12 Federor- gane 15 are acted upon.
  • the bearings 12 of the holding means 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b are formed as bearing bushes, wherein they are receiving lugs 10a, 10b; 11 a, 11 b are provided with a bushing diameter adapted semi-circular end portion in the form of a front end of the final half-shell.
  • the housing part 1 has on both sides two lateral projections 10a, 10b or 11a, 11b whose bearings 12 are placed symmetrically in the housing part 1 to the spout opening 16 of the sliding closure 10.
  • This arrangement allows optimum power transmission from the retaining means in 6a, 6b; 7a, 7b on the slide unit 2 and thus on the pressed against each other in the closed state plates 4, 5th
  • the individual holding means 6a, 6b; 7a, 7b consist of a guided in the bearings 12 bolt-shaped connecting member 17 and a releasably connected thereto for ease of assembly support 18 for the mounted thereon roller.
  • the carrier 18 may be provided on both sides with sliding along their own guideways casters. Instead of sliding rollers and sliding blocks and similar sliding elements are used.
  • these holding means 6a, 6b; 7a, 7b so individually on the housing part 1 releasably secured, that they can be solved in the clamped state of the sliding closure 10 approximately in each position of the slide unit 2 of the housing part. This is particularly important in a fault, if the slide unit can not be moved primarily in a breakthrough because of welded molten steel.
  • Fig. 3 shows the dissolved according to the invention of the housing part 1 slider unit 2.
  • the bearings 12 of the holding means 6a, 6b; 7a, 7b each bayonet-like by twisting away from the housing part 1 perpendicular to this.
  • the bearings 12 and with them the holding means 6a, 6b; 7a, 7b are each rotated by a certain angle, thereby also the associated with these rollers 14 are pivoted, which bear against the guideways 13a, 13b of the slide unit 2.
  • the holding means 6a, 6b; 7a, 7b with the bearings 12 can then be taken away from the slide unit 2 and, depending on which, are fastened again in the housing part 1.
  • the bearings 12 of the holding means 6a, 6b; 7a, 7b each having on its outer side uniformly over the circumference axially parallel extending longitudinal guides 12 ', which each like a bayonet in corresponding grooves 10 ", 11" an opening 10', 11 'in the neck 10a, 10b and 11a, 11th b of the housing part 1 inserted and then secured by twisting and fixing by means of a locking means 26 therein.
  • These openings 10 ', 11' are in this case with a a cylindrical part provided in which a respective bearing 12 can be rotated and positioned.
  • FIG. 4 shows the one projection 10a of the housing part 1 and the bearing 12 of a holding means fixed therein by the locking means 26.
  • the bearing 12 is in the respective opening 10 ', 11' so twisted until its longitudinal guides 12 'over those of the openings 10', 11 'rest.
  • FIG. 5 the position of the bearing 12 with remote locking means 26 and rotated position in the opening 10 ', 1 1' illustrates, in which the bearing 12 with its longitudinal guides 12 'through the grooves 10 "moved and removed from the housing part 1
  • the inner wall of the opening 10 ', 11' are each associated with corresponding longitudinal guides 27 to those of the bearing 12, between which see the grooves 10 "run.
  • the actuation of the slide unit 2 takes place in turn by a likewise not illustrated drive member in the form of a hydraulic cylinder, the push rod with a coupling claw 20 of the slide unit is connectable.
