Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a support structure for a metallurgical vessel, such as a converter used in steel production, and in particular, it is directed to a support frame which laterally encloses the converter but does not come in contact with it. Further, the frame and the converter are tiltable about a horizontal axis by means of pivot members attached to the frame.
  • the present invention is directed to an arrangement for supporting the vessel in such a manner that all of its thermal deformation, that is both the permanent and the reversible deformation, can take place to the greatest extent possible without obstruction or limitation. Further, in the invention the compulsive forces developed are small and can be absorbed without any problems. Another characteristic of the invention is its ability to adapt to the displacement of the attachment points between the supporting frame structure and the vessel without any interruptions in operation and in accordance with the permanent deformations which take place during operation.
  • the metallurgical vessel is positioned within the supporting frame by employing a minimum of limiting force to its deformability.
  • This feature of the invention is accomplished by the use of flexible supporting rods located at spaced positions about the periphery of the vessel and extending between the vessel and the carrying frame. In connecting the supporting rods between the vessel and the frame the axes of the rods are arranged perpendicular to one of the directions in which the vessel deforms under thermal stress. Accordingly, the basic concept of the invention is to provide a connection between the vessel and the supporting or carrying frame in which the free deformability of the vessel is limited to the least extent possible.
  • Another feature of the invention is the slender configura tion of the flexible supporting rods which gives them the property of soft springs, as contrasted to the known claw support structure, mentioned above, which is built of a rigid arrangement of plates and stiffening components.
  • the supporting rods are formed of a multiplicity of individual wires either a sheathed or unsheathed cable having a reduced modulus elasticity can be used. If the individual wires are not twisted, that is, their rectilinear axes are disposed in parallel relationship to one another, the moment of inertia of the rods is greatly reduced. Where such cables are used as the supporting rods, they provide considerable advantages over bolts having full wall cross sections, though such bolts.
  • the carrying frame can include a basketlike structure formed of individual beams for supporting the vessel at it base.
  • Another feature of the invention is to secure the vessel to 1 the carrying frame, at least in part, by means of the flexiblev .1 supporting rods which are secured to the vessel in a tangential manner. Tangentially acting forces yield the least stress in the vessels shell.
  • Yet another feature of the invention is the employment 0 fixed or movable attachment heads for fastening the flexible supporting rods to the periphery of the vessel.
  • the supporting rods can be prestressed. Varying conditions apply to the prestress forces depending on the location of the attachment heads on the vessel.
  • the reinforcement rings can be located adjacent the mouth of the vessel which is an area in which very high thermal stresses are developed. However, the reinforcement rings are also suited for use about the vessel in any location where it is desired to introduce punctiform loads.
  • the transfer of the total load from the vessel to the carrying frame can be accomplished in several different positions on the vessel.
  • Such transfer of load can be accomplished by providing a pair of tangentially arranged rods on opposite sides of the vessel extending transversely to the vessel center line and to the tilting axis of the carrying frame, and by employing another pair of similarly oriented supporting rods in spaced relationship to the first part and located about the periphery of the vessel or connecting the bottom of the carrying frame with the bottom of the vessel.
  • the transverse supporting rods extending between the carrying frame and the attachment heads on the vessel transfer identical percentages of the total load P, if the prestressing force V of the supporting rods is correspondingly great.
  • the invention is based upon the use of the flexible supporting rods.
  • the supporting rods In its original support position within the carrying frame the supporting rods are disposed at diametrically opposed attachment points, however, their position changes rapidly after deformation of the vessel takes place. Under such deformation the shape of the rods then resembles a somewhat slender S-shaped configuration. In addition to the elongation developed within the supporting rods, they are also subjected to bending stress.
  • Another feature of the invention is the ability of the supporting rods, based on their length dimensions, to influence the additional stress which takes place during operation based on the oblique attitude of the rods, since when longer rods are used they will be subjected to smaller additional stresses.
  • an analogous fastening mode to the one described above can be employed using supporting rods which extend in the vertical direction.
  • the vessel is then supported by a plurality of ang" larly spaced stressed longitudinally extending rods.
  • Yet another characteristic of the invention is the ability to afford complete prestress of the supporting rods used in transmitting the load between the vessel and the carrying frame.
  • the prestress of the supporting rods in the inverted position is selected as equal to or greater than the gross weight of the vessel.
  • the supporting rods are relaxed successively in the blast or normal position of the vessel by means of hydraulic presses, are shifted to the new positions, and then brought back to the desired prestress conditions.
  • Oblong holes may be provided in the bearing surfaces for accommodating this purpose.
  • any permanent twisting of the bearing points at the attachment heads can be overcome by means of suitably beveled shims fitted in place after the tensioning of the support rods is removed.

  • Extending laterally from the carrying frame 2 are pivot pins 3 and 4 for mounting the frame within a stationary tilting frame, which has not been shown so that the invention can be exhibited more clearly.
  • the vessel 1 can be tilted about its horizontal axis 5 from its normal upright position shown in FIG. 1 to a belly position, that is, through 90 where its normally vertical axis is in the horizontal position, and then continuing the tilting action the vessel can be inverted a full 180 so that its mouth end is directed downwardly.
  • a plurality of flexible supporting rods Positioned about the outer periphery of the vessel are a plurality of flexible supporting rods which form the connection between the vessel 1 and the carrying frame 2.
  • the supporting rods have a minimum bending resistance to assist in the indirect transmission of load from the vessel into the carrying frame.
  • the rods are of an elongated slender design and can be formed of a multiplicity of individual high-strength wires. Where individual wires are used the supporting rods may be in the form of sheathed or unsheathed cables where the wires each have a rectilinear axis and are disposed in parallel relationship with one another.

  • the vessel 1 When the vessel 1 is tilted from its normal upright position as shown in FIG. 1 to its inverted position, it passes through 180 and when it reaches the 90 point it is in the so-called belly position. As the vessel is tilted the melt contained within it changes position and the masonry lining becomes heated to considerably higher temperatures. In both of the vertical positions of the vessel and in the belly position it is required that the vessel be permitted to deform to the greatest degree possible without any obstruction or hindrance which might cause defects or failures in the vessel structure. As indicated above,
  • the vessel is supported by a number of supporting rods 15 angularly spaced about the base of the vessel in two pairs of diametrically opposite positions.
