In brief, the operation of No. 0 will be described. The molten metal 53 supplied from the central part of the tundish 61 falls into a molten metal pool formed on the inner peripheral side of the side wall 51, where it is kept warm by the coil 66 and melted. Stir while stirring. The molten metal of the heat retaining / stirring section 59 gradually descends below the drawing section 57 by a pulling action, and is gradually cooled down from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side of the water-cooled mold 73 and further to the vicinity of the water spray 74. Casting is completed as a rod-like solid having a solidified phase formed and finally solidified in its entire cross section. In addition, a continuous melting casting device is also used in which a material to be melted supply unit that supplies a powdery or granular solid is provided in place of the melt supply unit, and also melts the material to be melted supplied in the warming / stirring unit.

The molten metal 13 in the side wall 11 is generated by the electromagnetic confinement force of the alternating magnetic field of the magnetic flux generated by the coil 12 and passing through the slit 54 between the adjacent segments 52 shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the central portion rises and only makes slight contact with the inner peripheral surface of the side wall 11, and the magnetic flux density decreases in the portion that goes down below the upper and lower central portions of the coil 12, and the coil 12 is heated. The action is reduced, and the solidification is performed from the outer peripheral side to form a solidified phase 13a. The magnetic flux φ generated by the coil 12 is annularly formed at right angles to the axis of the coil 12,
When it hits “a”, it passes through the surface side due to the skin effect and does not enter the inside, but is formed largely on the outer peripheral side of the side wall 11 and extends far. Such a situation of generation of magnetic flux is the same in a high-frequency induction melting furnace using a crucible of a hot wall or a cold wall.

However, the magnetic flux generated by the current flowing through the coil forms a loop that reaches not only the inner peripheral side of the coil, that is, the molten metal side in the side wall, but also the outer peripheral side of the coil. However, a metal such as steel, which is arranged within a range where the magnetic flux reaches, and is easily subjected to induction heating, is subjected to a heating action by the magnetic field. Since this magnetic flux is generated radially when viewed from above in the axial direction, the magnetic flux density tends to be large on the molten metal side inward in the radial direction and small on the outer peripheral side of the side wall. Is subjected to a heating action substantially similar to that of the molten metal, and may be melted depending on the type of the metal member. Therefore, conventionally, there has been no alternative but to dispose a metal such as copper having a small electric resistance or a material such as an insulating resin or ceramic as a structural member in the vicinity of the side wall. Further, there is a disadvantage that the current flowing through the coil is wasted by the magnetic flux also generated on the outer peripheral side of the side wall, and the amount of molten metal that can be melted or kept warm is small for the amount of applied power. The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks in a continuous casting apparatus or induction melting furnace using high-frequency induction heating, makes it possible to use steel that is easily heated by induction but has a high strength near the coil, and increases the melting efficiency with respect to the applied electric energy. An object of the present invention is to provide a continuous casting apparatus provided with a magnetic flux interrupting device that can be used.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for controlling
A magnetic shielding member made of a magnetic material in a U-shape having a coil side open in an axial cross section in an annular cross section such as an annular shape or a square shape or an upright cylindrical shape so as to surround the lower side and the outer peripheral side at a predetermined distance from the coil. The above problem has been solved. Specifically, a laminate of magnetic steel sheets such as silicon steel having a large electric resistance value or a magnetic material such as ferrite containing Fe 2 O 3 as a main component has a U-shaped cross section in the axial direction, an upright cylindrical shape or a polygonal shape. The concave portion or the inner surface of the magnetic shielding member formed in a cylindrical shape is arranged toward the outer periphery of the coil, and both upper and lower end surfaces of the magnetic shielding member are made of copper or a copper alloy, and the inner peripheral dimension of the outer peripheral surface of the side wall. The upper and lower discs or polygonal plates are sandwiched between upper and lower discs or polygonal plates with the center part opened with dimensions of the inner circumference substantially equal to the dimensions, and the outer dimensions are approximately equal to the outer dimensions of the upper, lower discs or polygonal plates. And the axial section is open to the outer peripheral side, the upper and lower flange portions of the steel frame arranged at predetermined intervals on the outer peripheral side of the magnetic shielding member, and the upper and lower disks or Magnetic flux cut-off device with polygon plate fixed with multiple bolts and nuts Therefore, the foregoing problems are eliminated.
In addition, the above-mentioned problems have been solved by a configuration in which the shape of the magnetic shielding member is changed to a cylindrical shape, or a configuration in which the magnetic shielding members are arranged on the outer peripheral side of the coil at predetermined equal circumferential intervals.

[Function] An electromagnetic steel sheet or ferrite such as a silicon steel sheet disposed on both upper and lower sides and / or an outer peripheral side of a coil of an induction heating type continuous casting apparatus or an induction melting furnace causes a magnetic flux to be short-circuited in the vicinity of the outer peripheral side of the coil, thereby causing an external short circuit. Therefore, even if an iron-based structural material is arranged on the outer peripheral side in the vicinity of the magnetic flux cut-off device, it can be used without generating heat due to eddy current. Further, since the above-mentioned magnetic steel sheet and ferrite have a large electric resistance value, even if they are placed in a high-frequency alternating magnetic field, the eddy current loss is small, and the magnetic circuit is short-circuited as compared with the conventional one. And the power efficiency consumed for melting is increased as compared with the conventional case.

When the magnetic flux blocking device 10 is provided as shown in FIG. 1, the path (magnetic path) of the magnetic flux φ generated by the coil 12 is the same as the conventional one on the inner peripheral side of the coil 12, but is on the outer peripheral side of the coil 12. It does not leak to the upper, lower, and outer distant portions through the inside of the magnetic shielding member 1 arranged close to. As a result, unlike the conventional frame 86 shown in FIG. 6, the induction heating is difficult and the eddy current loss is small, but there is no need to use copper or the like having a small strength, and the steel frame 4 is used as in the present invention. It became possible to do it. Similarly, the cover 82 shown in FIG. 6, which uses an insulating material such as ceramic which is poor in workability and high in manufacturing cost in the related art,
In the present invention, it has become possible to employ a steel cover 8 which has good workability and can be manufactured at low cost. Besides this,
In the present invention, the Joule loss which has conventionally occurred in the cable 67 for supplying a current to the coil 66 shown in FIG. 5 is also reduced to a negligible extent because the magnetic flux does not reach the cable not shown in the present invention. Further, as another effect of the arrangement of the magnetic blocking member 1, the magnetic resistance in the magnetic field by the coil is reduced, and the number of magnetic fluxes generated by the current flowing through the coil is increased. The results of the test on this point are shown below. The heat retaining / stirring unit having the configuration of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 as the first embodiment, and the heat retaining / stirring unit without the magnetic flux shut-off device shown in FIG. A current was applied to determine the inductance. The split mold used for the test was a square as shown in FIG. 5 (B), and the size was 149 m on each side of the inner circumference.
