Definitions
- the invention relates to a mold device with a line section for the passage of a fluid, in particular water.
- the invention relates to a method for converting a mold device from a previous to a different casting width.
- Line sections for the passage of a fluid also with several degrees of freedom are in the prior art, for. B. from the DE 10 2006 057 242 B4 and the US 6164570 basically known. These patents disclose in particular a ball joint for a sanitary outlet fitting.
- EP2321075 A1 describes a continuous casting mold for the continuous casting of a metal strand, in particular a steel strand, with broad side walls and narrow side walls lying opposite one another, at least the broad side walls being equipped with cooling channels.
- the invention relates to the field of continuous casting technology and in particular to a continuous casting mold for casting liquid metal to form a cast strand, as is shown, for example, in FIG Figure 3 is shown.
- Figure 3 a mold device 400 known from the prior art with two opposite mold broadside plates 410 and two opposite broadside water tanks 420, each for supporting the mold broadside plates 410.
- At least one of the broadside water tanks is connected via a line section 100 to a water supply device (not shown).
- the other broadside water tank is either also connected to the water supply device via an analog line section or it is fluidly connected to the one broadside water tank.
- the mold device shown can be set to different casting formats, ie to different cross-sections of the casting cavity 440 formed by the mold broad side plates 410 and the mold narrow side plates.
- the latitudinal water tanks are traditionally first in the casting thickness direction D spread apart.
- the narrow side support devices 432 preferably with the mold narrow side plates 410 mounted thereon, are exchanged for other narrow side support devices with a mold narrow side plate defining a different casting thickness d2.
- the broad-side water tanks 420 are then moved towards the narrow-side support devices 432 with the now changed casting thickness d2; In this way, a new casting cavity 440 is created with a changed casting thickness.
- the aforementioned opening and closing process of the broadside water tanks in the casting thickness direction D when converting the mold device 400 to a different casting thickness is accompanied by a lateral offset (lateral offset) of the inlet-side and the consumer-side end of the line section for supplying the broadside water tanks with water from the water supply device.
- the invention is based on the object of developing a known mold device with a line section and a known method for converting the mold device from a previous to a different casting width in such a way that the line section of the mold device is designed to compensate for larger lateral offsets and thereby the conversion of the mold device to a different casting width to be significantly simplified and made more cost-effective.
- the line section for the passage of a fluid has a line element with an inlet-side end and a consumer-side end and an inlet device for the fluid.
- the line section has an inlet-side ball joint arranged at the inlet-side end of the line element with a through-channel for the articulated and fluid-conducting connection of the inlet-side end of the line element with the inlet device for the fluid, with a consumer-side ball joint arranged at the consumer-side end of the line element with a through-channel for articulating and fluid-conducting connection of the consumer-side end of the line element is formed with a consumer.
- the inlet device corresponds to a pipe section which leads to the water supply device and the consumer corresponds to at least one of the broadside water tanks.
- corresponding ball joints each with a passage channel, are thus arranged at both ends of the line element of the mold device.
- These two ball joints basically allow the fluid to be deflected within the line section in almost any direction, even if the consumer is laterally offset relative to an inlet device. This applies at least when the inlet device and the distance between the consumers can be varied in the event of a lateral offset.
- the line section of the mold device is characterized by an inlet-side sliding pipe which fluidly connects the inlet-side end of the line element to the inlet device and in which the inlet-side ball bearing is axially displaceable.
- a sliding tube on the consumer side can also be provided which connects the consumer-side end of the line element to the consumer in a fluid-conducting manner and in which the consumer-side ball bearing is axially displaceable.
- a protective device for example in the form of a cuff or in the form of a rubber bar, can be slipped over the ball joints to protect them from external influences, in particular dust or dirt, in order to maintain their functionality.
- the above-mentioned object is also achieved by the method according to claim 13.
- This method is characterized in that the mold device is designed with a line section according to one of claims 1 to 12 and that the line section, which connects at least one of the broad-side water tanks to the water supply device, during all process steps according to claim 13, in a fluid-conducting manner with the at least one broad-side water tank and preferably also remains connected to the water supply system.
- the claimed configuration of the mold device with the line section according to the invention can advantageously significantly shorten the assembly and set-up times when converting the mold device to a different casting format. In particular, line connections no longer have to be rebuilt or relocated with the aid of compensators; the assembly work previously associated with this can be saved.
- a ball joint 140 also referred to as a consumer-side ball joint, is arranged at the consumer-side end 114 of the line element 110. It is also equipped with a through channel for the articulated and fluid-conducting connection of the consumer-side end of the fluid line element 110 to a consumer 200 (in Figure 1 Not shown).
- Both the inlet-side and the consumer-side ball joint 120, 140 each have an annular dome 122 with a spherical outer contour.
- the spherical cap is rotatably embedded in a spherical cavity which is spanned by two annular bearing half-shells 126, 126 'that can be braced against one another.
- the outside of the spherical cap 122 is sealed with the aid of (further) sealing elements 128, preferably with respect to each of the two bearing half-shells 126, 126 '.
- the domes 122 are pushed onto the inlet-side end 112 and onto the consumer-side end 114 of the line element 110 and are preferably firmly connected to the line element.
- the calottes therefore perform a rotary or pivoting movement of the line element relative to the cavities in which they are mounted.
- the bearing half-shells 126, 126 'spanning the cavities are on the other hand non-rotatable - but not necessarily fixed in a translatory manner - on the bend or on the consumer or a pipe or on a displacement element which is in a Sliding tube is slidably mounted, attached.
- the bearing half-shells can also be designed as the sliding element themselves.
- the domes 122 could also be arranged on the elbow or on the displacement element within the displacement tube; however, the associated bearing half-shells would then have to be connected to the line element.
- the inlet-side bearing shell 126 is non-rotatably screwed to the inlet device 130, here designed with the 90 ° elbow only as an example.
- a first half of the bearing half-shell 126 of the entire bearing shell is screwed to the manifold, while the associated second bearing half-shell 126 'is or is displaced from the line element 110 outwards against the first bearing half-shell 126 and is braced or screwed to it.
- a first bearing half-shell 126 for the spherical cap 122 is designed and arranged on the consumer side of the line element 110 as a displacement element for displacement within the displacement tube.
- a second bearing half-shell 126 ′ of the entire bearing shell is pushed from the side of the line element against the first bearing half-shell 126 and braced or screwed to it in order to span a cavity for the rotatable, articulated accommodation of the consumer-side dome 122.
- the said Ball joints are preferably each protected against contamination by a protective device 170.
- the protective device 170 can be, for example, a cuff or a rubber bar, which is slipped over the ball joints and is fastened on both sides of these joints, for example with clamps.
- the line element 110 is typically a piece of pipe.
- the line section 100 according to the invention is used in particular to transfer a fluid, for example water, from a water supply device (not shown) to a consumer 200.
- the Figures 2a and 2b show a particular application in which the line section 100 according to the invention is used for supplying water to a mold device 400 in a continuous casting plant for casting liquid metal into a cast strand.
- the one inlet device 130 which is arranged on the inlet side of the line section 100, can be designed in the form of a pipe section which, for example, leads to a water supply device.
- the consumer 200 connected to the consumer-side end 114 of the line section 100 is then at least one broad-side water tank 420 for cooling the mold.
- the configuration of the line section according to the invention makes it possible to convert the mold device to a different casting width while performing the steps a) to d) mentioned the water tanks 420 can advantageously remain connected to the water supply device in a fluid-conducting manner. This saves the operator of the mold device both a lot of time and a lot of money in contrast to traditional retrofitting of the mold device, because many otherwise necessary work steps and pipe components can be saved with the design of the line section according to the invention.
- the displacement tube 150 enables compensation for the lateral displacement increasing direct distance between the at least one broadside water tank 420 and the supply device 130 by allowing an axial displacement of the consumer-side end of the line element by a distance x in the displacement pipe 150; please refer Figure 1b .
- the broadside water tanks 420 initially opened in accordance with method step a) are again moved or pushed together in the opposite casting thickness direction D to the now changed casting width. Because the casting thickness d2 is now different, ie it can be greater or smaller than the previous casting thickness d1, the broadside water tanks 420 are in any case no longer brought together to the original casting thickness d1 in step d). Rather, the line element 110 is now pivoted back in the direction of the starting direction by an angle deviating from the angle ⁇ with the aid of the ball joints 120, 140 during method step d) and pushed back again in the displacement tube by a path deviating from the path x.
- the deviating angle is smaller than the angle ⁇ and the deviating path is smaller than the path x according to method step a).
- the deviating angle is greater than the angle ⁇ and the deviating path x in the sliding tube 150 is greater than the path x.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kokilleneinrichtung mit einem Leitungsabschnitt zum Durchleiten von einem Fluid, insbesondere von Wasser.

Das besagte Auf- und Zuverfahren der Breitseitenwasserkästen in Gießdickenrichtung D beim Umrüsten der Kokilleneinrichtung 400 auf eine andere Gießdicke geht mit einem Lateralversatz (seitlichen Versatz) des zulaufseitigen und des verbraucherseitigen Endes des Leitungsabschnittes zur Versorgung der Breitseitenwasserkästen mit Wasser aus der Wasserversorgungseinrichtung einher.The aforementioned opening and closing process of the broadside water tanks in the casting thickness direction D when converting the
Traditionelle Leitungsabschnitte und insbesondere traditionelle Anschlüsse zwischen dem Leitungsabschnitt und den Breitseitenwasserkästen konnten diese auftretenden Lateralversätze nicht bzw. zumindest nicht in ausreichendem Maße kompensieren. Traditionell handelte es sich bei diesen Leitungsabschnitten um starre Rohrverbindungen mit O-Ringen, welche zwar kleinere Winkelauslenkungen aufnehmen und auch kleinere Verschiebungen in Axialrichtungen bei auftretendem Lateralversatz kompensieren konnten, aber zum Kompensieren der in der Realität tatsächlich auftretenden größeren Lateralversätze sind die traditionell verwendeten Rohrverbindungen und Kompensatoren nicht geeignet bzw. nicht ausreichend. Es müssen deshalb traditionell Adapterstücke montiert oder mehrere formatabhängige Teile eingebaut werden. Das gesamte Verfahren der Gießdickenumrüstung kostet traditionell viel Geld und Zeit (Rüstzeit) für den Betreiber, denn er muss entsprechend viel Werkstattpersonal und eine entsprechende Ausrüstung bereitstellen.Traditional pipe sections and in particular traditional connections between the pipe section and the broadside water tanks could not compensate for these lateral offsets, or at least not to a sufficient extent. Traditionally, these pipe sections have been rigid pipe connections with O-rings, which can accommodate smaller angular deflections and also compensate for smaller displacements in axial directions in the event of lateral misalignments, but the pipe connections and compensators traditionally used to compensate for the larger lateral misalignments that actually occur in reality not suitable or not sufficient. It is therefore traditionally necessary to mount adapter pieces or to install several format-dependent parts. The entire process of changing the casting thickness traditionally costs a lot of money and time (set-up time) for the operator, because he has to provide a correspondingly large number of workshop personnel and the corresponding equipment.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine bekannte Kokilleneinrichtung mit einem Leitungsabschnitt sowie ein bekanntes Verfahren zum Umbauen der Kokilleneinrichtung von einer bisherigen auf eine andere Gießbreite dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass der Leitungsabschnitt der Kokilleneinrichtung ausgebildet ist, auch größere Lateralversätze zu kompensieren und dadurch das Umrüsten der Kokilleneinrichtung auf eine andere Gießbreite deutlich zu vereinfachen und kostengünstiger zu gestalten.Based on this prior art, the invention is based on the object of developing a known mold device with a line section and a known method for converting the mold device from a previous to a different casting width in such a way that the line section of the mold device is designed to compensate for larger lateral offsets and thereby the conversion of the mold device to a different casting width to be significantly simplified and made more cost-effective.
Diese Aufgabe wird bezüglich der erfindungsgemäßen Kokilleneinrichtung mit einem Leitungsabschnitt durch den Gegenstand des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Dieser ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Leitungsabschnitt zum Durchleiten von einem Fluid ein Leitungselement mit einem zulaufseitigen Ende und einem verbraucherseitigen Ende und eine Zulaufeinrichtung für das Fluid aufweist. Der Leitungsabschnitt weist ein an dem zulaufseitigen Ende des Leitungselementes angeordnetes zulaufseitiges Kugelgelenk mit einem Durchgangskanal zum gelenkigen und fluidleitenden Verbinden des zulaufseitigen Endes des Leitungselementes mit der Zulaufeinrichtung für das Fluid auf, wobei ein an dem verbraucherseitigen Ende des Leitungselementes angeordnetes verbraucherseitiges Kugelgelenk mit einem Durchgangskanal zum gelenkigen und fluidleitenden Verbinden des verbraucherseitigen Endes des Leitungselementes mit einem Verbraucher ausgebildet ist. Die Zulaufeinrichtung entspricht einem Rohrstück, welches zu der Wasserversorgungseinrichtung führt und der Verbraucher entspricht mindestens einem der Breitseitenwasserkästen.With regard to the mold device according to the invention with a line section, this object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. This is characterized in that the line section for the passage of a fluid has a line element with an inlet-side end and a consumer-side end and an inlet device for the fluid. The line section has an inlet-side ball joint arranged at the inlet-side end of the line element with a through-channel for the articulated and fluid-conducting connection of the inlet-side end of the line element with the inlet device for the fluid, with a consumer-side ball joint arranged at the consumer-side end of the line element with a through-channel for articulating and fluid-conducting connection of the consumer-side end of the line element is formed with a consumer. The inlet device corresponds to a pipe section which leads to the water supply device and the consumer corresponds to at least one of the broadside water tanks.
Gemäß dem Anspruch 1 sind damit an beiden Enden des Leitungselementes der Kokilleneinrichtung entsprechende Kugelgelenke mit jeweils einem Durchgangskanal angeordnet. Diese beiden Kugelgelenke ermöglichen grundsätzlich ein Umlenken des Fluids innerhalb des Leitungsabschnittes in eine nahezu beliebige Richtung, auch bei einem Lateralversatz des Verbrauchers relativ zu einer Zulaufeinrichtung. Dies gilt zumindest dann, wenn die Zulaufeinrichtung und der Verbraucher bei einem Lateralversatz in ihrem Abstand zueinander variabel sind.According to claim 1, corresponding ball joints, each with a passage channel, are thus arranged at both ends of the line element of the mold device. These two ball joints basically allow the fluid to be deflected within the line section in almost any direction, even if the consumer is laterally offset relative to an inlet device. This applies at least when the inlet device and the distance between the consumers can be varied in the event of a lateral offset.
Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der erfindungsgemäße Leitungsabschnitt der Kokilleneinrichtung gekennzeichnet durch ein das zulaufseitige Ende des Leitungselementes mit der Zulaufeinrichtung fluidleitend verbindendes zulaufseitiges Verschieberohr, in welchem das zulaufseitige Kugellager axial verschiebbar gelagert ist. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann auch ein verbraucherseitiges Verschieberohr vorgesehen sein, welches das verbraucherseitige Ende des Leitungselementes mit dem Verbraucher fluidleitend verbindet und in welchem das verbraucherseitige Kugellager axial verschiebbar gelagert ist. Das Vorsehen eines solchen Verschieberohres an dem zulaufseitigen oder dem verbraucherseitigen Ende des Leitungsabschnittes ermöglicht vorteilhafterweise eine hinreichende Kompensationsfähigkeit des Leitungsabschnittes auch dann, wenn sich in Folge eines Lateralversatzes zwischen der Zulaufeinrichtung und dem Verbraucher der direkte Abstand zwischen der Zulaufeinrichtung und dem Verbraucher verändert.According to a first exemplary embodiment, the line section of the mold device according to the invention is characterized by an inlet-side sliding pipe which fluidly connects the inlet-side end of the line element to the inlet device and in which the inlet-side ball bearing is axially displaceable. Additionally or alternatively, a sliding tube on the consumer side can also be provided which connects the consumer-side end of the line element to the consumer in a fluid-conducting manner and in which the consumer-side ball bearing is axially displaceable. The provision of such a sliding pipe at the inlet-side or the consumer-side end of the line section advantageously enables sufficient compensation capability of the line section even if the direct distance between the inlet device and the consumer changes as a result of a lateral offset between the inlet device and the consumer.
Zur Erläuterung: Bei einer reinen Schwenkbewegung des Leitungselementes gegenüber der Zulaufeinrichtung mit Hilfe des dazwischen befindlichen Kugelelementes bewegt sich das gegenüberliegende verbraucherseitige Ende des Leitungselementes mit dem daran angeordneten verbraucherseitigen Kugelgelenk auf einer Kreisbahn. Dabei bewegt sich das verbraucherseitige Ende immer weiter von dem Verbraucher fort. Die dadurch zu dem Verbraucher entstehende sich ändernde Distanz wird durch das zusätzlich beanspruchte Verschieberohr kompensiert.Explanation: With a pure pivoting movement of the line element relative to the inlet device with the aid of the ball element located in between, the opposite consumer-side end of the line element moves on a circular path with the consumer-side ball joint arranged thereon. The consumer-side end moves further and further away from the consumer. The resulting changing distance to the consumer is compensated for by the sliding tube, which is additionally stressed.
Für die besagte Kompensation genügt es typischerweise, wenn ein solches Verschieberohr entweder an dem zulaufseitigen oder dem verbraucherseitigen Ende des Leitungselementes vorgesehen ist. Lediglich in besonderen Einzelfällen, beispielsweise, wenn besonders große Abstände zu überbrücken sind, kann es sinnvoll sein, ein solches Verschieberohr an beiden Enden des Leitungselementes vorzusehen.For said compensation, it is typically sufficient if such a displacement pipe is provided either at the inlet-side or the consumer-side end of the line element. It can only be done in special individual cases, for example when particularly large distances have to be bridged be useful to provide such a sliding tube at both ends of the line element.
Zum Abdichten der Kugellager gegenüber den Verschieberohren sind vorteilhafterweise ringförmige Dichtelemente vorzusehen.To seal the ball bearings against the sliding tubes, it is advantageous to provide annular sealing elements.
Eine Schutzvorrichtung beispielsweise in Form einer Manschette oder in Form eines Gummibalks kann über die Kugelgelenke gestülpt sein zum Schutz derselben vor äußeren Einflüssen, insbesondere Staub oder Schmutz, um deren Funktionsfähigkeit zu erhalten.A protective device, for example in the form of a cuff or in the form of a rubber bar, can be slipped over the ball joints to protect them from external influences, in particular dust or dirt, in order to maintain their functionality.
Die oben genannte Aufgabe wird weiterhin durch das Verfahren gemäß Patentanspruch 13 gelöst. Dieses Verfahren ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kokilleneinrichtung mit einem Leitungsabschnitt ausgebildet ist nach einem der Ansprüch 1 bis 12 und dass der Leitungsabschnitt, welcher mindestens einen der Breitseitenwasserkästen mit der Wasserversorgungseinrichtung verbindet, während aller Verfahrensschritte nach Anspruch 13 fluidleitend mit dem mindestens einen Breitenseitenwasserkasten und vorzugsweise auch mit der Wasserversorgungseinrichtung verbunden bleibt. Durch die beanspruchte Ausgestaltung der Kokilleneinrichtung mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Leitungsabschnitt können vorteilhafterweise die Montage- und Rüstzeiten bei der Umrüstung der Kokilleneinrichtung auf ein anderes Gießformat deutlich verkürzt werden. Insbesondere müssen deshalb nicht mehr Leitungsanschlüsse umgebaut oder mit Hilfe von Kompensatoren versetzt werden; die damit bisher verbundenen Montagearbeiten können eingespart werden. Außerdem können vorteilhafterweise unerwünschte Rückstellkräfte bzw. aus elastischen Verformungen, wie sie z. B. bei Edelstahllateralkompensatoren auftreten, vorteilhafterweise vermieden werden. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung der Kokilleneinrichtung kann deren Umrüstung auf neue Gießdicken stufenlos erfolgen, ohne dass dafür die Fluidverbindung zwischen dem Wasserkasten und dem Leitungsabschnitt bzw. dem Leitungsabschnitt und dem Verbraucher geöffnet werden müsste und ohne dass eventuelle Schraubverbindungen gelöst werden müssten. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Leitungsabschnitt und dessen Einbau zwischen eine Wasserversorgungseinrichtung und eine Kokilleneinrichtung können laterale Versätze von beispielsweise bis zu 450 mm in kurzer Zeit überbrückt werden.The above-mentioned object is also achieved by the method according to claim 13. This method is characterized in that the mold device is designed with a line section according to one of claims 1 to 12 and that the line section, which connects at least one of the broad-side water tanks to the water supply device, during all process steps according to claim 13, in a fluid-conducting manner with the at least one broad-side water tank and preferably also remains connected to the water supply system. The claimed configuration of the mold device with the line section according to the invention can advantageously significantly shorten the assembly and set-up times when converting the mold device to a different casting format. In particular, line connections no longer have to be rebuilt or relocated with the aid of compensators; the assembly work previously associated with this can be saved. In addition, undesirable restoring forces or from elastic deformations, as they occur, for. B. occur with stainless steel lateral expansion joints, advantageously avoided. With the embodiment of the mold device according to the invention, it can be converted to new casting thicknesses without the fluid connection between the water tank and the line section or the Line section and the consumer would have to be opened and without any screw connections having to be loosened. With the line section according to the invention and its installation between a water supply device and a mold device, lateral offsets of, for example, up to 450 mm can be bridged in a short time.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Kokilleneinrichtung mit einem Leitungsabschnitt, insbesondere der Kugelgelenke, sowie des beanspruchten erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.Further advantageous configurations of the mold device according to the invention with a line section, in particular the ball joints, as well as the claimed method according to the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

Auffahren der Breitseitenwasserkästen 420 in Gießdickenrichtung D; - b) Ausbauen der bisherigen Schmalseitenträgereinrichtung 432 mit den die bisherige Gießdicke d1 definierenden bisherigen Kokillenschmalseitenplatten 430;
- c)
Einbauen von Schmalseitenträgereinrichtungen 432 mit einer die andere Gießdicked2 definierenden Kokillenschmalseitenplatten 430; und - d)
Zufahren der Breitseitenwasserkästen 420 in entgegengesetzter Gießdickenrichtung D auf die andere Gießbreite d2.
Accordingly, the conversion of the mold equipment from a previous d1 to a different casting width d2 requires the following steps:
- a) opening the
broadside water tanks 420 in the casting thickness direction D; - b) removing the previous narrow
side support device 432 with the previous moldnarrow side plates 430 defining the previous casting thickness d1; - c) installation of narrow
side support devices 432 with a moldnarrow side plate 430 defining the other casting thickness d2; and - d) Approaching the
broadside water tanks 420 in the opposite casting thickness direction D to the other casting width d2.
Wenn die Breitseitenwasserkästen 420 der Kokilleneinrichtung 400 über den erfindungsgemäßen Leitungsabschnitt 100 mit der Wasserversorgungseinrichtung (nicht gezeigt) verbunden sind, dann ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Leitungsabschnittes, dass während der Durchführung der genannten Schritte a) bis d) zum Umbauen der Kokilleneinrichtung auf eine andere Gießbreite die Wasserkästen 420 vorteilhafterweise fluidleitend mit der Wasserversorgungseinrichtung verbunden bleiben können. Das erspart dem Betreiber der Kokilleneinrichtung sowohl viel Zeit wie auch viel Geld im Unterschied zu einer traditionellen Umrüstung der Kokilleneinrichtung, weil mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung des Leitungsabschnittes viele ansonsten notwendige Arbeitsschritte und Rohrkomponenten eingespart werden können.If the
Bei der Durchführung des Verfahrensschrittes a) zur Umrüstung der Kokille kommt es zu einer seitlichen bzw. lateralen Verschiebung der Breitseitenwasserkästen 420 in Bezug auf die Zuleitungseinrichtung 130 unter Beibehaltung von deren lotrechtem Abstand zueinander. Der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Leitungsabschnitt ermöglicht eine Kompensation dieser besagten Lateralverschiebung, so dass eine Demontage des Leitungsabschnittes 100 von den Breitseitenwasserkästen 420 und/oder von der Zulaufeinrichtung 130 entbehrlich wird. Ermöglicht wird dies einerseits dadurch, dass die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Kugelgelenke 120, 140 eine Schwenkung des Leitungselementes 110 um einen Winkel β gegenüber einer Ausgangsrichtung R zulassen bzw. ermöglichen. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht das Verschieberohr 150 eine Kompensation des durch die Lateralverschiebung größer werdenden direkten Abstandes zwischen dem mindestens einen Breitseitenwasserkasten 420 und der Zuleitungseinrichtung 130, indem eine axiale Verschiebung des verbraucherseitigen Endes des Leitungselementes um einen Weg x in dem Verschieberohr 150 zugelassen wird; siehe
In dem Verfahrensschritt d) werden die gemäß Verfahrensschritt a) zunächst aufgefahrenen Breitseitenwasserkästen 420 wieder in entgegengesetzter Gießdickenrichtung D auf die jetzt geänderte Gießbreite zugefahren bzw. zusammengeschoben. Weil die Gießdicke d2 nun anders ist, d. h. sie kann größer oder auch kleiner sein als die vorherige Gießdicke d1, werden die Breitseitenwasserkästen 420 in Schritt d) jedenfalls nicht mehr auf die ursprüngliche Gießdicke d1 zusammengefahren. Vielmehr wird das Leitungselement 110 nunmehr während des Verfahrensschritte d) mit Hilfe der Kugelgelenke 120, 140 um einen von dem Winkel β abweichenden Winkel wieder in Richtung der Ausgangsrichtung zurückgeschwenkt und um einen von dem Weg x abweichenden Weg in dem Verschieberohr wieder zurückgeschoben. In dem Fall, dass die bisherige Gießdicke d1 kleiner war als die neue geänderte Gießdicke d2, ist der abweichende Winkel kleiner als der Winkel β und der abweichende Weg kleiner als der Weg x gemäß Verfahrensschritt a). Für den Fall, dass die neue Gießdicke d2 größer sein sollte als die bisherige Dicke d1, ist der abweichende Winkel größer als der Winkel β und der abweichende Weg x in dem Verschieberohr 150 größer als der Weg x.In method step d), the
