For example, the present invention relates to an induction heating apparatus having an induction heating coil wound so as to surround a heated object such as a slab.

スラブ等の被加熱体を取り巻くように巻かれた誘導加熱コイルを有する誘導加熱装置において、被加熱体からの抜熱を防止する方法に関しては従来から種々の提案がなされている。
例えば、実開昭61-39149号公報には、誘導加熱装置において被加熱体の隅部に近接して発熱体を配設せしめたことを特徴とする誘導加熱装置が開示されている。
しかし、実開昭61-39149号公報に記載された従来技術では、発熱体が長時間の使用で曲がってしまうため耐久性に問題があった。
また、発熱温度に対するスラブ抜熱が大き過ぎるため発熱効率が低いという問題があり、実機に採用することはできなかった。
In an induction heating apparatus having an induction heating coil wound around a heated object such as a slab, various proposals have conventionally been made regarding methods for preventing heat removal from the heated object.

However, the conventional technique described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-39149 has a problem in durability because the heating element bends after long-term use.
Moreover, since the slab heat removal with respect to the heat generation temperature is too large, there is a problem that the heat generation efficiency is low, and it cannot be adopted in an actual machine.

また、特開平1-67888号公報には、誘導加熱装置において昇降自在な板状の耐火断熱材を有するものが開示されている。
さらに、特開平3-31422号公報には、誘導加熱装置においてスラブの両端部にコイル電流で誘導加熱できるFe系素材による発熱保温板を近接させることを特徴とするものが開示されている。
しかし、この特開平1-67888号公報や特開平3-31422号公報に記載された従来技術は自己発熱タイプではなくスラブ抜熱を十分に抑制することは困難であった。

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an induction heating apparatus according to the present invention, and shows the positional relationship between one inner wall in an induction heating furnace and an object to be heated.
In FIG. 1, 1 is a to-be-heated body, 2 shows an inner wall.
As shown in FIG. 1, a heated object 1 such as a slab is installed in a furnace of an induction heating furnace and heated by an induction heating coil embedded in an inner wall 2.
In the present invention, a heating element is installed in the induction heating furnace in the vicinity of the corner of the heated object 1, and by installing this heating element inside the protective tube 3, the heating element 1 is It is characterized by shielding from the furnace atmosphere of the induction heating furnace.
When the heating element 1 is exposed to an oxidizing furnace atmosphere, the heating element 1 is corroded. Therefore, the heating element 1 is installed inside the protective tube 3, and the heating element 1 is removed from the furnace atmosphere of the induction heating furnace. By blocking, corrosion of the heating element 1 can be prevented.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, by embedding approximately half of the protective tube 3 in the inner wall 2 in the induction heating furnace, the amount of heat generated by the heating element can be preferentially input to the object to be heated. The deformation of the protective tube 3 due to temperature changes can be prevented, and the durability of the protective tube 3 can be significantly improved.

さらに、保護管3の埋め込み長さ(L)を被加熱体の厚さ(T)の1倍以上とすることによって、被加熱体1からの抜熱を著しく低減することができる。
本発明においては、保護管3の材質は問わないが、SiCを用いることによって、被加熱体の加熱毎の周期的温度昇降に起因する熱応力変形に耐えうる設備とすることができ、さらに耐久性を向上させることができる。
ここに、被加熱体1の隅部とは、被加熱体1の辺(エッジ)または角部をいう。
また、本発明における発熱体は、被加熱体の隅部を無酸化加熱できればよく、発熱体の種類は問わない。

Furthermore, heat removal from the heated body 1 can be remarkably reduced by setting the embedded length (L) of the protective tube 3 to be equal to or greater than one time the thickness (T) of the heated body.
In the present invention, the material of the protective tube 3 is not limited, but by using SiC, it is possible to provide a facility that can withstand the thermal stress deformation caused by the periodic temperature rise and fall at every heating of the heated object, and further durable. Can be improved.
Here, the corner of the heated body 1 refers to a side (edge) or a corner of the heated body 1.
Moreover, the heat generating body in this invention should just be a non-oxidative heating of the corner part of a to-be-heated body, and the kind of heat generating body is not ask | required.
The present invention is particularly effective when the distance (Δl) between the corner of the heated body 1 and the inner wall 2 varies depending on the size of the heated body 1 and the like. Therefore, as for FIG. 1, the present positional relationship can be applied to the other inner walls. Further, only the normal inner wall may be used as the side where the distance (Δl) between the corner of the heated body 1 and the inner wall 2 does not change much.
