Abstract

The mould has an outer, fixed rectangular frame, contg. two long mould walls (a). Between walls (a) are two narrow mould walls (b). When clamping pressure applied to walls (a) is released, walls (b) can be moved inwards or outwards to alter the width of the slab being cast. The sides of walls (b) which are in contact with walls (a) are provided with recesses which can be fed with a pressurised liq., e.g. a lubricating oil. The recesses are pref. fed in pairs with the liq. through channels in walls (b). Used esp. in the continuous casting of steel. When the narrow mould walls (b) are moved between walls (a), wear and/or seizure can occur. The invention eliminates this danger.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte a une lingotière réglable pour machine de coulée continue, en particulier à une lingotière régla ble en marche et permettant donc de couler des brames plus ou moins larges, mais d'épaisseur constante, par simple réglage de la lingo tiède en cours de coulée. The present invention relates to an adjustable ingot mold for continuous casting machine, in particular to an adjustable ingot mold in operation and therefore making it possible to cast slabs which are more or less wide, but of constant thickness, by simple adjustment of the warm ingot in casting courses.

Les lingotières réglables de ce type sont largement diffusées à l'heure actuelle et sont par exemple telles que décrites dans le brevet français 2.365.391, ainsi que schématisées en vue de dessus sur la figure i annexée à la présente description. Adjustable molds of this type are widely available today and are for example as described in French patent 2,365,391, as shown schematically in plan view in Figure i appended to this description.

Une telle lingotière réglable classique a ce jour comporte (figure i) deux grands côtés 1 et deux petits côtés 2 disposés dans un cadre fixe 3. Les petits côtés 2 peuvent se rapprocher ou s'écarter l'un de l'autre sous l'action de deux dispositifs de réglage 4 commandés par des mécanismes 5, constitués chacun par exemple par deux tiges filetées superposées de manière à permettre un réglage de conicité. Par ailleurs, des dispositifs de serrage 6, comportant généralement des vérins hydrauliques et des ressorts, viennent serrer les grands côtés 1 contre les petits cotés 2 de manière a vaincre la pression ferrostatique due à l'acier liquide 9. Such a conventional adjustable ingot mold to date comprises (FIG. I) two long sides 1 and two short sides 2 arranged in a fixed frame 3. The short sides 2 can move towards or away from one another under the action of two adjustment devices 4 controlled by mechanisms 5, each constituted for example by two threaded rods superimposed so as to allow adjustment of taper. Furthermore, clamping devices 6, generally comprising hydraulic cylinders and springs, clamp the long sides 1 against the short sides 2 so as to overcome the ferrostatic pressure due to the liquid steel 9.

Lors d'un reglage, les petits côtés se déplaçant par rapport aux grands cotés, il est indispensable, pendant cette opération, de supprimer le contact entre ces côtés. En effet, les matériaux utilisés pour réaliser les plaques constitutives des côtés,étant choisis pour avoir une excellente conductibilité thermique, n'ont par cotre pas de bonnes qualités de glissement, de sorte que le déplacement de celles-ci l'une par rapport à l'autre entrainerait une usure réciproque et des risques de grippage. En conséquence, dans les solutions connues jusqu'alors, on supprime l'effet des dispositifs de serrage 6 pendant le déplacement des petits côtés de manière à venir en butée contre des cales 7 laissant un jeu tdtal j entre grands côtés 1 et petits côtés 2.  During an adjustment, the short sides moving relative to the long sides, it is essential, during this operation, to remove the contact between these sides. Indeed, the materials used to make the constituent plates of the sides, being chosen to have excellent thermal conductivity, do not have good sliding qualities, so that the displacement of these one relative to the other would cause reciprocal wear and risks of seizure. Consequently, in the solutions known hitherto, the effect of the clamping devices 6 is suppressed during the movement of the short sides so as to come into abutment against wedges 7 leaving a tdtal clearance j between long sides 1 and short sides 2 .

Le jeu j, généralement d'une valeur maximale de 0,5 mm, est réglé de manière à être assez faible pour que l'acier liquide ne s'infiltre pas entre grands et petits côtés, et à etre suffisant pour permettre le déplacement sans frottement souhaité. Le réglage des butées 7 est donc très délicat et très difficile de réalisation, compte tenu des dilatations en particulier.The clearance j, generally with a maximum value of 0.5 mm, is adjusted so as to be small enough so that the liquid steel does not seep between large and small sides, and to be sufficient to allow movement without desired friction. The adjustment of the stops 7 is therefore very delicate and very difficult to carry out, given the expansions in particular.

La lingotière réglable de l'invention améliore ces dispositifs connus en supprimant la nécessite d'avoir des butées 7 devant être réglées avec précision, ces dernières pouvant même être totalement supprimées dans ladite lingotière selon l'invention. Elle est caractérisée en ce qu'elle est équipée de petits côtés dont les faces en contact avec les grands cotés sont garnies d'alvéole(s) pouvant être alimentées en liquide sous pression. The adjustable ingot mold of the invention improves these known devices by eliminating the need to have stops 7 having to be adjusted with precision, these latter being able even to be completely eliminated in said ingot mold according to the invention. It is characterized in that it is equipped with short sides whose faces in contact with the long sides are lined with cell (s) that can be supplied with liquid under pressure.

A l'aide de ce dispositif, on crée ainsi, dans la lingotiere de l'invention, un film liquide supprimant tout contact mtal-sur- métal lors du déplacement d'un petit côté. With the help of this device, a liquid film is thus created in the mold of the invention, eliminating any metal-on-metal contact when moving a small side.

L'invention sera mieux comprïse A l'aide de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexes dans lesquels - la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une lingotière réglable en ge néral - la figure 2 est une vue en coupe d'un petit côté d'une lingotiere selon l'invention, faite selon la direction aa de la figure 1 - la figure 3 est une vue selon la direction F de la figure 2
La figure 1, que l'on a déjà décrite ci-dessus dans le cadre de l'art antérieur, est une vue de dessus d'une lingotière. Dans le cas de la lingotière de l'invention, les câles 7 peuvent être supprimees ou tout au moins laisser un jeu j beaucoup plus grand que le jeu minimum nécessaire, et donc ne servir qu'en dispositif de sécurité.
The invention will be better understood with the aid of the following description of an exemplary embodiment, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which - FIG. 1 is a top view of an ingot mold adjustable in general - FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a small side of an ingot mold according to the invention, taken in the direction aa of FIG. 1 - FIG. 3 is a view in the direction F of FIG. 2
Figure 1, which has already been described above in the context of the prior art, is a top view of an ingot mold. In the case of the ingot mold of the invention, the shells 7 can be removed or at least leave a clearance j much greater than the minimum clearance required, and therefore only be used as a safety device.

La figure 2 représente une coupe schematique, faite selon la direction aa de la figure 1, d'un petit côte 2 d'une lingotière selon l'invention, et la figure 3 en est une vue suivant la direction F. 2 shows a schematic section, taken along the direction aa of Figure 1, of a small rib 2 of an ingot mold according to the invention, and Figure 3 is a view in the direction F.

Comme on le voit sur ces dessins, les faces 10 et il du petit côté 2 en contact avec les grands côtés 1 sont garnies d'alveoles 12 pouvant être alimentées deux par deux en huile de colza sous pression a l'aide des conduites internes 13 et externes 14. Lorsqu'on veut déplacer un petit côté, on applique dans chacune des tuyauteries 14, à l'aide de pompes non représentées, une pression déterminée d'un liquide acceptable comme lubrifiant dans une lingotière de coulée continue (de l'huile de colza par exemple). La pression qui se crée alors dans les alvéoles 12 fait s'écarter d'une faible quantité le ou les petits côtés 2 des grands côtés 1 associés, et permet alors le déplacement sans frottement en créant un film fluide entre grands et petit(s) côtés.As can be seen in these drawings, the faces 10 and it of the short side 2 in contact with the long sides 1 are provided with cells 12 which can be supplied two by two with rapeseed oil under pressure using the internal pipes 13 and external 14. When we want to move a small side, we apply in each of the pipes 14, using pumps not shown, a determined pressure of an acceptable liquid as a lubricant in a continuous casting mold (of the rapeseed oil for example). The pressure which is then created in the alveoli 12 causes the small side (s) 2 to deviate by a small amount from the large sides 1 associated, and then allows displacement without friction by creating a fluid film between large and small (s) sides.

La pression nécessaire au déplacement sans frottement, mais sans fuites d'acier liquide, est déterminée aisément soit par le calcul, soit par voie expérimentale avant l'opération de coulée, l'acier liquide dans la lingotière étant alors remplacé par des billes de plomb afin de simuler la pression ferrostatique.  The pressure necessary for displacement without friction, but without leakage of liquid steel, is easily determined either by calculation or by experimental means before the casting operation, the liquid steel in the ingot mold then being replaced by lead balls in order to simulate the ferrostatic pressure.
