Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for hot-dip coating a metal strip.
- Conventional coil coating systems such as systems for continuous hot-dip galvanizing of steel strip, have a continuous furnace, a molten bath (zinc bath), a device for adjusting the (zinc) coating thickness and a subsequent cooling device in the direction of travel of the strip.
- the steel strip is heat-treated in a continuous process, wherein the continuous furnace can be divided into several chambers in which different treatments, in particular in connection with different temperatures, can be carried out. These treatments can preferably include setting the desired mechanical properties in the steel strip base material by, for example, recrystallization of the steel structure.
- An area (chamber) in the continuous furnace can define a zone for reducing the iron oxides formed on the surface of the steel strip.
- Another area (chamber) can define a cooling zone in the continuous furnace, in which the steel strip is cooled, preferably under protective gas (HNX), to a temperature close to the temperature of the molten bath.
- the protective gas is intended to prevent the annealed strip from oxidizing before coating (galvanizing), which means that wetting and thus adhesion of the coating or coating (zinc layer) to the surface of the steel strip would not be possible or only poorly and thus the required quality standards cannot be met.
- different gas atmospheres are sometimes required in the areas (chambers) in the continuous furnace.
- the steel strip is passed through a sluice flooded with protective gas, with the exclusion of the ambient atmosphere, which is also known as a trunk among experts.
- devices are used within the trunk which cause the atmosphere to circulate within the trunk by targeted blowing in at one or more points, combined with suction at one or more points to discharge or remove the dusty atmosphere.
- the blow-suction unit -Unit has a plurality of injection openings for applying protective gas to the steel strip, wherein a plurality of injection openings are arranged or can be arranged on a first side of the steel strip and a plurality of injection openings on a second side of the steel strip, the blow-suction unit being a plurality of suction openings for suctioning off protective gas laden with zinc vapor and / or zinc dust, wherein a plurality of suction openings are arranged or can be arranged on the first side of the steel strip and a plurality of suction openings on the second side of the steel strip, wherein the blower -Suction unit has a
- blow-and-suction unit within the trunk, however, leads to a reduction in the cross-section of the steel belt, so that if vibrations and / or fluctuating operating conditions occur in the galvanizing line during operation, the belt does not swing out of the plane of the direction of belt travel, and thus does not prevent it Contact with the blow-suction unit cannot be ruled out, which can damage the belt and the system. There is a need for further optimization in relation to the state of the art.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a device for hot-dip coating a metal strip, with which an operationally reliable coating process can be ensured under fluctuating operating conditions.
- a device for hot-dip coating a metal strip with a continuous furnace for guiding and heating the metal strip, with a vessel arranged in the running direction of the metal strip behind the continuous furnace and filled with melt, with a trunk arranged between the continuous furnace and the vessel for passing through and Introducing the metal strip into the melt in the vessel, the trunk comprising a blow-suction unit with at least one injection unit and at least one suction unit, which are arranged on at least one wall, in particular on two opposing walls of the trunk, the at least one suction unit is arranged in the running direction of the metal strip behind the at least one injection unit, wherein the at least one injection unit has at least one slot opening for blowing gas into the trunk and the at least one suction unit has at least one slot opening for sucking off Ga s from the trunk, wherein the at least one slot opening extends transversely to the direction of travel of the metal strip.

- An injection unit with a suction unit adjacent in the running direction of the metal strip are preferably located opposite one another on two opposite walls of the trunk. The two opposing walls run essentially parallel to the surface of the metal strip.
- Two further (opposite) walls complete or define the trunk, which essentially runs with a longitudinally rectangular cross section, and are oriented essentially perpendicular to the edge of the metal strip.
- the melt in the vessel is a metallic melt, which preferably consists of zinc or a zinc alloy or alternatively can consist of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- the metal band is preferably a steel band.

- the slot openings should not be too far apart from one another.
- the suction unit has a plurality of slot openings with interruptions in between. If several slot openings arranged with interruptions in the transverse direction or transversely to the running direction of the metal strip are provided, effective suction can be promoted so that the metal vapor rising from the melt can be suctioned off in a targeted manner.
- the suction unit preferably has at least two rows, with exactly two rows or more than two rows being provided, consisting of a plurality of slot openings with interruptions in between, the slot openings of the rows being offset from one another and, in particular, overlapping at least in sections adjacent to one another.

- the smaller dimension of the slot opening of the injection unit is intended to cause a certain impulse in connection with a circulation of the atmosphere within the trunk, whereby the larger dimension of the slot opening of the suction unit is intended to ensure that the metal vapor and / or metal dust can be discharged without clogging or clogging the slot opening (s) avoided and thereby the maintenance intervals can be extended, especially for cleaning purposes.
- the at least one injection unit and the at least one suction unit each comprise at least one central opening arranged opposite the slot opening for supplying or removing gas. In this way, the flow conditions can be kept largely the same over the width of the injection and extraction unit.
- the at least one blow-in unit and / or the at least one suction unit are divided into several sections, in particular in their longitudinal extension or transversely to the running direction of the metal strip, the sections being separated from one another in a gastight manner and each section being provided with its own central opening is, in particular, is or can be connected to a line for supplying or removing gas.
- this division into sections that are preferably of equal width / length, the flow conditions can be further improved over the width of the trunk and, in particular, the required power per line can be reduced.

- Such a design has a positive influence on the flow conditions and can improve the suction effect.
