Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sliding closure for a container containing molten metal, the sliding closure having a slide housing, a slide unit guided longitudinally therein with a push rod, a holder on the slide housing and a linear drive which can be fastened in this holder and has a drive rod which can be coupled to the push rod, the linear drive preferably being transverse to his Adjustment direction can be inserted into the holder on the slide housing and removed from it and locked in the holder.
  • a known sliding closure for a vessel containing molten metal has a slide housing, a slide unit guided longitudinally therein with a push rod, a holder on the slide housing and a linear drive that can be inserted into this holder with a drive rod, which can be connected to the push rod of the slide unit by a coupling.
  • This coupling is designed in such a way that it couples with the flange of the linear drive inserted into a side recess of the holder by moving the drive rod against the slide unit, the coupling having a coupling part at the end of the push rod and a coupling part at the front end of the drive rod of the linear drive which couple against the push rod when the drive rod is moved.
  • a locking device that can be actuated by the linear drive and interacts with the holder is provided, through which the linear drive can be fixed in the holder after it has been pushed into it or can be unlocked again before it is removed.
  • the linear drive has a hydraulic cylinder, a main piston that drives the drive rod and an additional piston that can be moved independently of this for actuating the locking device.
  • This additional piston is provided with a locking head guided on the drive rod, which can be moved out of the interior of the hydraulic cylinder on the front side when the additional piston is acted upon in the locking direction and is preferably inserted in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner a correspondingly shaped recess can be inserted into the holder of the hydraulic cylinder, while it can be removed from the recess in the unlocking direction when the additional piston of the locking device is acted upon.
  • This lateral recess is formed in the holder and in the recess formed in it, with the coupling being able to be uncoupled automatically when the linear drive is removed from the holder transversely to the direction of displacement of the drive rod.
  • This locking device enables automated coupling of the linear drive in the holder, but by using a main piston and an additional additional piston in the linear drive that can be moved independently of this, a relatively complex design solution is proposed.
  • the invention is based on the object of improving the known sliding closure in such a way that its repair on the container for casting is automated and made possible with structurally simple means, and the operational reliability of the sliding closure during casting is increased.
  • At least one locking means is attached to the linear drive and to the holder, which are designed to interact in such a way that the linear drive is automatically locked after insertion or during insertion, preferably at the end of the insertion process, into the holder .
  • the linear drive is automatically locked into the holder after insertion or during insertion, preferably at the end of the insertion process, the linear drive is permanently securely fastened in the holder.
  • the automatic locking can prevent movement of the linear drive against the insertion direction and, depending on the design, also prevent (further) movement of the linear drive in the insertion direction, whereby the insertion process can be ended by the automatic locking.
  • the linear drive can be unlocked in the holder, with an adjusting element that can be operated manually or by a manipulator being provided for unlocking in one locking means.
  • This makes it possible for the linear drive to be released using a simple means, but which ensures this secure locking without any problems. This means that locking is guaranteed at all times, even in the event of operational vibrations or shocks during the sliding lock, and it can be permanently prevented that the linear drive comes loose from the holder.
  • the one locking means has a displaceable locking element with a front part, in which this front part engages in a recess in the other locking means during locking in such a way that this locking takes place, the locking element preferably being adjustable transversely to the insertion direction of the linear drive.
  • the locking means of the linear drive expediently comprises a capsule housing, a locking element which can be moved therein and a spring element, the locking element with its front part being displaceable by the spring element into a position protruding from the capsule housing.
  • the locking means of the holder has a sliding shoe provided with the recess, which is in sliding contact with the front part of the locking element when the linear drive is pushed in and / or pushed out.
  • the sliding shoe is preferably designed with a ramp-shaped sliding guide running approximately in the insertion direction of the linear drive for sliding contact with the front part and with this recess. This results in a simple construction of these locking means as a concrete embodiment.
  • This recess in the sliding shoe is positioned in the insertion direction in relation to the holder in such a way that the front part snaps into the recess when the linear drive comes into contact with a stop in the holder.
  • the insertion process is ended by the stop, with automatic locking also taking place at the end of the insertion process.
  • the sliding shoe in the recess and the front part are in mutual contact with a contact surface, with these contact surfaces running at least approximately perpendicular to the insertion direction of the linear drive, so that the front part is locked in the sliding shoe.
  • an advantageous additional jamming occurs due to the linear drive being at the stop.
  • the linear drive comprising the drive rod and a protruding transverse flange at the front and this C-shaped guide groove at the rear in the holder for its recording are known.
  • the capsule housing of the locking means is arranged on the side of the transverse flange and the sliding shoe is arranged next to this C-shaped guide groove on the back of the holder. This means that these locking devices are placed in an area that is approximately protected for them.
  • the capsule housing can be arranged next to the guide groove and the sliding shoe can be arranged laterally near the transverse flange.
  • This operable adjusting member is expediently fastened transversely to the locking element of the locking means in the linear drive and it projects through a longitudinal opening out of the capsule housing, preferably away from the linear drive. By pushing it up, the front part of the locking element can be released from the recess in the sliding shoe and the linear drive is released.
  • At least one electrical plug element for an electrical connection line and/or at least one plug element for at least one connection line for a preferably gaseous medium, for example air, are assigned to the linear drive and the holder in pairs.
  • the invention is also characterized in that these plug elements are placed in such a way that they are automatically inserted into the holder after insertion or during insertion, preferably at the end of the insertion process of the linear drive, and that the locking means are automatically locked, as it were. This allows a reduction to the linear drive being pushed in as the only manual one or activity carried out via robots without having to additionally connect connector elements by hand.
  • the coupling head of the drive rod of the linear drive can be automatically coupled to the push rod of the slide unit by an axial adjustment.
  • the coupling head can automatically move laterally away from the push rod. This results in additional advantages in terms of automated repair of the sliding lock.
  • Fig. 1 shows a holder 15 and a linear drive 20, shown at a distance from it, which can be inserted laterally into it, of an indicated sliding closure 10 with a slide housing 12 and with a slide unit guided longitudinally in this, of which only one push rod 13 protruding into a side opening 16 'of the holder 15 is illustrated.
  • a known plug-in stroke limiting bolt 14 is provided, which engages in a longitudinal groove 19 in the push rod 13 to serve as a stop for the stroke of the push rod.
  • Such a sliding closure 10 is known in terms of structure and functional operation and is therefore not described in further detail. It is preferably suitable for a ladle containing steel melt as a container in a continuous casting system. However, it could also be used at the spout of other vessels, such as a converter, a distribution vessel or even ovens in the non-ferrous metal sector.
  • the linear drive 20 is usually only inserted and fastened into this holder 15 after the pan filled with molten metal has been placed on a rotating tower on a casting platform of the continuous casting plant is placed.
  • This can be done by hand or preferably by a manipulator or robot arranged on the casting platform, which automatically determines the exact position of the holder 15 of the sliding closure 10 using a detection system that can be mounted on it and then the linear drive 20, which is preferably designed as a hydraulic piston / cylinder unit
