Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for adjusting the position of a V-shaped tundish in two-strand continuous casting plants in three directions perpendicular relative to each other, especially when the tundish is exchanged, with a liftable and lowerable carrier for the tundish, which carrier is mounted on a movable car.
  • a V-shaped tundish is arranged on a liftable and lowerable lifting table, which in turn is secured on a car being movable transversally to the casting direction. Since the lifting table, which carries the tundish, is relatively large dimensioned, for reasons of space it is not possible to arrange the lifting means near the center of gravity, i.e. between the branches on the inside of the V-shaped tundish, but the lifting cylinders are arranged outside the lifting table, removed from the axis of gravity, on the car.
  • the tundish In order to allow a forward and backward movement of the tundish, perpendicular relative to the direction of lifting, the tundish is supported by means of three stanchions arranged on the lifting table in Cardan-like manner, and pivotable driving cylinders are provided in the horizontal direction for the drive.
  • the Cardan-like fastening requires a rather complex construction and the kinematics is complicated.
  • the invention has as its object to achieve the desired movability and adjustability of the tundish in three directions perpendicular relative to each other with simple and safe constructional means and consists in that the carrier connected to the tundish rests liftably and lowerably on a column arranged near the center of gravity of the tundish, which column is secured on a pedestal or foot part that is rotatably mounted in the car platform, the column being eccentrical of the axis of the pedestal or foot part, and that the tundish is connected to a fixable pivot-mechanism which allows for a horizontal pivoting of the tundish around the axis of the column.
  • This additional pivot-mechanism is necessary in order to adjust the outflow openings to the axes of the moulds, each of which is forwardly and backwardly displaceable and which have to be oriented according to the guiding rollers of the casting bow.
  • the pivot-mechanism comprises, connected to the wall of the tundish, a vertical guiding roll which engages with two counter rollers arranged opposite each other and secured to a pivotable and fixable fork or the like.
  • a telescopic, preferably a hydraulically driven, piston is provided at the upper end of the columnfor lifting and lowering the carrier.
  • the tundish is denoted with 1. It is V- shaped, has a refractory lining, and in each branch it has an outflow opening 2. It ought to be liftable and lowerable, and it ought to be forwardly and backwardly displaceable transversally relative to the casting direction of the steel strands. Furthermore, it ought to be pivotable (FIG. 2) in the direction of the double arrows. Finally, it ought to be horizontally displaceable in the direction of the dotted double arrows of FIGS. 2 and 1, which is effected with the help of a car.
  • the tundish is carried by a hator pot-like carrier 3, which encloses the column 5 at whose upper end a telescopic, hydraulically driven piston 4 is provided.
  • This column 5 rests on a pedestal 6 or is integrally connected to it, and the connection is made in such a way that the axis 7 of the column 5 is eccentrically arranged to the axis 8 of the pedestal 6 (FIG. 3).
  • the pedestal is rotatably mounted by means of a ball bearing 9 and a taper roller bearing 10 in the car platform 11 (FIG. 3).
  • an arm 12 engages column 5, which arm is connected via a linkage 13 to the hydraulic drive 14 (FIG. 1).
  • a web plate 15 On the rear wall of the tundish a web plate 15 is arranged (FIG. 2), at whose end a guiding roll 16 is rotatably arranged.
  • This guiding roll engages with two counter rollers 17, 18 which are secured to a fork-shaped carrying body 20 which is pivotable around the axis 19.
  • the fork-shaped carrying body 20 is activated by means of the hydraulic drive 21.
  • the apparatus according to the invention function as follows:
  • the car together with the lifting means and the tundish is moved on the rails.
  • the linkage 13 is activated, i.e. the column 5 is displaced, eccentrically relative to the axis 8, by means of the arm 12, which roughly corresponds to a parallel displacement of the casting openings 2.
  • the possible parallel displacement is indicated by the full and the dotted lines of the tundish.
  • the drive 14 stands still, which excludes a forward and backward movement; instead, the tundish is'pivoted around the axis 7 of the column 5.
  • the position of the tundish as shown in FIG. 2 is the final position of the tundish pivoted in clockwise direction relative to FIG. 1.
  • the hator potlike part 3 conically widens at its lower end 22. This fa- 3 cilitates the exchange of the tundishes. With 23 slide bushings are denoted which facilitate the lifting and pivoting of the carrier 3.
  • An apparatus for position-adjusting a V-shaped tundish in three directions perpendicular relative to each other, in particular when exchanging the tundish, in two-strand continuous casting plants, comprising:
  • a pedestal rotatably arranged in said platform and supporting said column in a position eccentrical of the axis of said pedestal
  • a fixable pivot-mechanism connected to the tundish for horizontal pivoting thereof around the axis of said column.
  • said pivot-mechanism comprises a vertical guiding roll connected to the tundish wall, two counter rollers arranged opposite each other and engaging said guiding roll, a pivotable and fixable member supporting said two counter rollers. 6. An apparatus as set forth in claim 5, wherein said pivotable and fixable member is fork-shaped.
