Description

  The present invention relates to a continuous casting mold having a cooling box capable of storing an electromagnetic stirring device for stirring molten steel in a mold.

  Conventionally, a method of electromagnetically stirring molten steel in a mold in order to obtain slabs with excellent surface quality by actively floating and removing non-metallic inclusions or gas contained in molten steel injected into a continuous casting mold Is known, and a mold for doing so is disclosed in US Pat.

  In the mold of Patent Document 1, a coil of an electromagnetic stirrer is provided in the upper part of the long side cooling box, and a cooling water supply header and a drainage header are provided in the lower part of the coil storage part. As a result, the electromagnetic stirring device can be arranged on the upper part of the mold, and the molten steel upper surface in the mold and the coil upper surface of the electromagnetic stirring device can be matched, so that the molten steel stirring becomes good and the slab having excellent surface quality is manufactured. Became possible.

  Further, in the mold of Patent Document 1, a copper plate is stretched over the entire surface of the molten steel side front plate of the cooling box, and the cooling effect is enhanced by passing cooling water through the copper plate, which is injected into the mold. The molten steel is cooled and solidified. Since this copper plate is always in contact with high-temperature molten steel, damage such as cracking or melting is likely to occur, and if damage occurs, it must be replaced with another copper plate.

  However, in the mold of Patent Document 1, the cooling box and the copper plate have an integral structure, and when replacing the copper plate, it is necessary to replace the cooling box integrally with the cooling box. There was a problem that it took time. Furthermore, since the long side cooling box incorporates an expensive electromagnetic stirring device, when removing the long side cooling box from the continuous casting machine when replacing the copper plate, it was necessary to remove the electromagnetic stirring device together. . At this time, if the electromagnetic stirring device was removed from the cooling box with the old copper plate attached to the cooling box with the new copper plate attached, and the removed electromagnetic stirring device was attached, it would take a lot of time and the productivity of the continuous casting equipment In general, an electromagnetic stirrer prepared in advance as a spare was attached. Thus, a preliminary electromagnetic stirrer must be prepared, and the initial investment when introducing the electromagnetic stirrer has been enormous.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a mold in which a variable short side frame to which a short side copper plate is fixed is detachable from a fixed short side frame. Specifically, the variable short side frame is provided with a bracket and the fixed short side frame is provided with a bracket holder. When the variable short side frame is fixed to the fixed short side frame, the variable short side frame is provided with the variable short side frame. After the bracket is engaged with a bracket receiver provided on the fixed short side frame and the lower end is positioned, the upper end is fixed with a bolt.

  However, in the mold of Patent Document 2, it is necessary to provide a bracket on the variable short side frame and a bracket receiver on the fixed short side frame, and the structure becomes complicated. Furthermore, when fixing the variable short side frame to the fixed short side frame, as described above, it is necessary to engage the bracket with the bracket receiver, and after that, it is necessary to fix the upper end with a bolt. It takes time to replace the copper plate.

Moreover, although the casting_mold | template with which the copper plate was detachable was also disclosed by patent documents 3, 4, all have the structure complicated similarly to the casting_mold | template of patent document 1, and it takes time to replace | exchange copper plates. I have a problem.
