Definitions

  • the gates are individual blanks for closing the nozzle in the bottom of the vessel, or orifice gates for permitting pouring.
  • the blank [22] Filed: Feb. 23, 1972 is positioned in line with the nozzle, while the orifice [21 1 Appl' 228597 gate is supported temporarily in the space between the Related US.
  • Gates can be loaded [63] continuatiommpan of Ser- 74,785, SepL 23, into this space without interference from the propelling means, which IS located at the opposite side of the vessel. To start pouring, the two gates are pulled toward the propelling means to align the orifice gate with the nozzle and displace the blank.
  • the two gates later can be pushed back along rails to return the blank into alignment with the nozzle to stop pouring, and the orifice gate can be removed or replaced without changing the blank.

  • This invention relates to improved operating mechanisms for slidable gates used to control flow of liquid from a bottom-pour vessel, and to improve flowcontroling methods.
  • the gate can reciprocate, different portions of its area are solid to close an outlet nozzle in the bottom wall of the vessel, or provide an orifice to be aligned with the nozzle to permit pouring.
  • the gates are of the slide-through type. Different gates either are blanks for closing the nozzle or have orifices for pouring. As each gate is pushed into line with the nozzle, it displaces the preceding gate. In both embodiments a fluid-pressure cylinder is mounted on the bottom of the vessel for propelling the gates. In the slidethrough embodiment the displaced gate is pushed in a direction away from the propelling means.
  • An object of my invention is to provide improved gate-operating mechanisms and methods which utilize separate blank and orifice gates, but in which the gates can reciprocate, whereby I avoid the need for installing a new gate every time I open or close the outlet of the vessel.
  • a further object is to provide improved gateoperating mechanisms and methods in which new gates are pulled rather than pushed into line with the outlet of a vessel, displacing the preceding gate toward the propelling means.
  • a further object is to provide gate-operating mechanisms which enable an orifice gate to be removed and replaced at any time when the outlet is closed with a blank without disturbing the blank.
  • a further object is to provide improved gateoperating mechanisms wherein new gates are loaded into the mechanism from an operators station without interference by the propelling means, which is at the opposite side of the vessel from the operator.
  • FIG. I is a longitudinal sectional view of a portion of a bottom-pour vessel which is equipped with one embodiment of my improved gate-operating mechanism, the view being taken on line II of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 2 is a horizontal section on line II-II of FIG. I;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section on line IIIIII of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-section on line IV-IV of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 is a longitudinal section similar to FIG. I, but showing the part in a different position
  • FIG. 6 is another longitudinal section similar to FIGS. I and 5, but showing the parts in a still different positron;
  • FIG. 7 is a vertical sectional view similar to FIG. I, but showing a modified embodiment of my gate operating mechanism.
  • FIG. 8 is a cross section on line VIII-VIII of FIG. 7.
  • FIGS. I, 3 and 4 show a portion of a conventional bottom-pour vessel for handling liquid metals, for example, a ladle, a tundish or a degassing vessel.
  • the vessel includes a metal shell II), a refractory lining I2, and a pouring nozzle 13 extending through the shell and lining.
  • a mounting plate 14 is fixed to the underside of the vessel wall with studs I5 which project from the shell III (FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • a pair of parallel rails I6 are fixed to the mounting plate I4 with bolts I7 (FIG. 4).
  • the mounting plate surrounds the nozzle 13, and the rails are situated at oppoiste sides of the nozzle.
  • the rails have shoulders I8 which support a refractory top plate I9 situated immediately beneath the nozzle I3.
  • the top plate I9 has an orifice 20 which forms a continuation of the nozzle opening.
  • the rails I6 have opposed inwardly directed flanges 23 along their lower edges.
  • a blank gate 24 or an orifice gate 25 may be received and temporarily supported on flanges 23 for sliding movement along the rails.
  • Either gate can be positioned in line with the nozzle selectively to close the nozzle or permit pouring therethrough.
  • FIGS. I, 2 and 3 show the blank positioned under the nozzle to close off flow, and the nozzle gate temporarily supported to the left of the blank.
  • Two rows of rocker arms 26 are pivoted to the rails I6 on pins 27 at opposite sides of the nozzle.
  • the rails have respective vertical bores 28 above the outboard ends of the rocker arms.
  • Compression springs 29 are housed within bores 28and urge the outboard ends of the rocker arms downwardly, whereby the inboard ends bear upwardly against the gate and urge it into liquidtight engagement with the top plate I9.
  • the upper faces of rails I6 carry cover plates 30 which retain the springs within the bores (FIG. 3).
  • the lower faces of the rails carry heat and spatter shields 31.
  • Air inlet pipes 32 are connected to the rails for supplying air to cool the springs (FIG. 2).
  • the ends of rails I6 at the right, as viewed in FIGS. I and 2 carry a cross bar 33 on which I mount a fluid-pressure cylinder 34.
  • the cylinder is located at the side of the vessel remote from the operators normal station.
  • the rails I6 and cross bar 33 together form a frame which supports the other parts of the mechanism.
  • the cylinder has a reciprocable piston rod 35, to the end of which I attach a ram block 36.
  • the structure of the rails, gates, rocker arms, springs, and cylinder per se is similar to that commonly used in this art.
  • I attach a pair of pull links 40 to opposite sides of the ram block 36. As best shown in FIG. 2, these links extend along the side edges of gates 24 and 25, between the gates and rails I6.
  • the ends of the links carry gate-pulling means in the form of a pivoted latch 4I.
  • I pivot a retracting yoke 42 to the rails above gate 25.
  • the end face of latch 41 has a socket 43 adapted to receive the yoke as shown in FIG. I.
  • the operator first manually loads a blank gate 24 on the flanges 23 of rails I6. While he loads each gate, the piston rod 35 is fully projected from cylinder 24, and latch 4I engages yoke 42, whereby the latch and yoke occupy the raised position shown in FIG. I. Thus the ends of the rails are free of obstructions which would interfere with loading.
  • the operator retracts the piston rod, whereupon latch 41 drops out of engagement with yoke 42 into a position behind the gate, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the latch pulls the blank gate along the rails until it is aligned with the nozzle 13.
  • the operator projects the piston rod and loads the orifice gate 25 into the space between the latch and the blank gate. Later, when pouring is to begin, the operator again retracts the piston rod and the atch pulls the two gates along the rails until the orifice gate is aligned with the nozzle. The blank continues to occupy the space between the orifice gate and the ram block 36, but is displaced along the rails toward the propelling means. To discontinue pouring, the operator projects the piston rod, the ram block pushes both gates to the left, and the parts return to the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the socket 43 of the latch automatically receives the yoke 42, and the latch and yoke pivot upwardly out of the way. If there is need, the operator can freely removed and replace the orifice gate, while the original blank remains in place.
  • the operator removes the orifice gate 25 as already described and retracts the piston rod 35.
  • Latch 41 moves into a position near the edge of the blank as shown in FIG. 6, leaving an open space between the blank and the ram block 36.
  • the operator inserts a dummy gate 44 in this space and projects the piston rod.
  • the ram block 36 pushes the dummy gate and blank to the left where the blank can be manually lifted from the rails.
  • the latch 41 and yoke 42 move to their raised position as before.
  • I equip the dummy gate with a handle 45 extending from its underside to facilitate manipulating it.
  • FIGS. '7 and 8 show a modified eembodiment of my gate-operating mechanism in which I have eliminated the latch used in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, and in which the displaced gate drops away.
  • the modified embodiment is shown installed on a vessel which includes a metal shell 10a, a refractory lining 12a, a pouring nozzle 13a, and a mounting plate 14a. These parts are similar to the corresponding parts in the embodiment already described, except that the nozzle projects farther below the vessel bottom to provide more clearance for insertion of gates, as hereinafter explained.
  • the modified gate-operating mechanism includes a frame 50 attached to the mounting plate 14a with support pins 51 which extend through aligned holes in the frame and mounting plate.
  • a stationary refractory top plate 19a removably rests in a recess in the upper face of the frame.
  • the top plate has an orifice 20a which forms a continuation of the nozzle opening.
  • a gate a is slidably supported under the top plate on two rows of rocker arms 26a at the inboard ends of the latter.
  • the gate may be either a nozzle gate, as illustrated, to permit material to discharge through the nozzle 13a or a blank to prevent such discharge. Whenever the outlet is to be opened or closed, one type of gate is replaced by the other, as already described.
  • each row of rocker anns 26a is pivoted to frame 50 on a respective pivot pin 27a.
  • Spring housings 52 are mounted within the frame along opposite sides of the gate and each contains a respective compression spring 29a and a plunger 53 above the outboard end of a different rocker arm.
  • Retaining plugs 54 are threadedly engaged with the upper ends of the spring housings.
  • Springs 29a bear downwardly against the outboard ends of the rocket arms, while the inboard ends press the gate 250 firmly against the top plate 19a.
  • the mounting palte 14a has air ducts 55 above the spring housing 52.
  • the mounting plate carries downwardly directed nozzles 56 leading from the ducts.
  • the retainer plugs have bores 57 affording communication between the nozzles and the interior of the spring housings. Air is blown into the spring housings via the ducts, nozzles and bores to prevent the springs from overheat- Frame 50 carries a double-acting fluid pressure cylinder 34a which contains a reciprocable piston and piston rod 35a. The end of the piston rod carries a ram block 36a. Links or pull rods 40a are attached to opposite sides of the ram block and extend through bores 58 in the spring housing 52. Alternatively the pull rods 40a could extend outside the gate as shown in FIG. 4. Gatepulling means in the form of a puller block 59 is attached to the ends of rods 40a remote from the ram block.
  • Frame 50 carries a pair of fixed rests 60 at the end of the respective rows of rocker arms 26a nearer the puller block 59.
  • the puller block has a ledge 61, the upper face of which is substantially coplanar with the upper gate-engaging faces of rocker arms 26a and rests 60.
  • the operator normally is stationed on the same side of the vessel as the latch 41 or the puller block 59. Hence with either embodiment of my invention he can insert a new gate into the mechanism with little inconvenience. Since the cylinder 34 or 34a is at the other side of the vessel, it is not an obstacle.
  • the first embodiment has the advantage of a reciprocating gate in that it enables the outlet to be opened or closed without installing a new gate for each operation. In particular the orifice gate can be removed and replaced without disturbing the blank. It is apparent that a similar advantage can be obtained in the modified embodiment by adding rails to the frame spanning the space between the rocker arms and cylinder as in the first embodiment. Conveniently the mechanism can be manufactured as an assembly ready for installaion on a vessel.
  • a frame adapted to be fixed to the vessel
  • an improved gate operating mechanism comprising:
  • gate-pulling means carried by said pull members and spaced from said rocker arms; and gate-receiving means carried by said frame in the space between said rocker arms and said gatepulling means for temporarily supporting gates;
  • said gate-pulling means being freely engageable with one end of a gate supported on said gate-receiving means for pulling this gate into a position in which it is supported on said rocker arms and displacing a preceding gate from said rocker arms toward said propelling means;
  • said gate-receiving means being accessible for having gates loaded thereon at the end of said frame remote from said propelling means.
  • said gate-pulling means includes a latch pivotally related to said pull members, and comprising in addition means mounted on said rails and engageable with said latch for automatically moving it between a position for engaging a gate and a position in which said rails are unobstructed to permit a gate to be loaded thereon.
  • An assembly for attachment to a bottom-pour vessel for controlling flow of liquid through a nozzle in the bottom wall of the vessel comprising a mounting plate, a pair of rails fixed to said plate and adapted to provide slidable support for separate blank and orifice gates, reciprocable propelling means fixed at one end of said rails, a ram block operatively connected with said propelling means and freely engageable with one end of a gate for pushing gates in one direction along said rails, pull members attached to said block and extending alongside the space occupied by gates supported on said rails, and means carried by said pull members spaced from said block and freely engageable with one end of another gate for pulling a pair of gates along said rails in the direction opposite said one direction, said rails being accessible at a location between said last named means and said nozzle for loading gates thereon in a position to be engaged both by said block and by themeans carried by said pull members.
  • An assembly for attachment to a bottom-pour vessel for controlling flow of liquid through a nozzle in the bottom wall of the vessel comprising a mounting plate, a pair of rails fixed to said plate and adapted to provide slidable support for separate blank and orifice fates, reciprocable propelling means fixed at one end of said rails, ram means operatively connected with said propelling means and freely engageable with one end of a gate for pushing gates in one direction along said rails, and gate-pulling means attached to said ram means and extending along said rails, said gate-pulling means including a latch freely engageable with one end of another gate for pulling the gates along said rails in the opposite direction, said latch being disengageable from the latter gate to permit gates to be loaded and removed from one end of said rails.
  • said gate-pulling means includes a pair of links attached to opposite sides of said ram means and extending along the side edges of said gates between the gates and rails, and said latch is pivoted to said links, and said mechanism further comprises means pivoted to said rails and engageable with said latch for automatically moving said latch to a position out of the way of loading and removing gates when said propelling means moves said ram in said first-named direction.
