Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen verstellbaren Kokillenteiler zum Einbau in eine Brammenkokille mit zum seitlichen Verstellen ausgebildeten Schmalseitenteilen zwecks wahlweisem Gießen mehrerer Stränge mit veränderbaren Strangbreiten, umfassend ein zur Kokille ortsfest zu deren Breitseitenplatten einbaubares Gehäuse und beidseitig in Breitenrichtung der Kokille einstellbare Verstellorgane mit an ihren Enden vorhandenen Tragplatten und an diesen 'angeordneten schmalseitigen Wärmetauscherplatten.The invention relates to an adjustable mold divider for installation in a slab mold with narrow side parts designed for lateral adjustment optionally casting multiple strands with variable strand widths, comprising a housing that can be installed in a stationary manner for the mold on its broad side plates and on both sides in the width direction of the mold adjustable adjustment with their End existing support plates and on these 'arranged narrow-sided Heat exchanger plates.
Stranggießkokillen für Stahl besitzen in der Regel während des Gießens oder in Gießpausen verstellbare Schmalseiten, deren Verstellbereiche einerseits durch mechanische Gegebenheiten wie beispielsweise der Regelbereich der Antriebe oder räumliche Begrenzungen und aufzunehmende Kräfte, und andererseits durch verfahrenstechnische Erfordernisse, z. B. der Zusammenhang zwischen Schmelzenfolgezeit, Gießgeschwindigkeit und Gießbreite begrenzt sind.Continuous casting molds for steel usually have during casting or in Pouring breaks adjustable narrow sides, the adjustment ranges on the one hand mechanical conditions such as the control range of the drives or spatial limitations and forces to be absorbed, and on the other hand by procedural requirements, e.g. B. the relationship between subsequent melt times, Casting speed and casting width are limited.
Wenn das angestrebte Gießbreitenspektrum einer solchen Anlage durch Erweiterung des Verstellbereiches eines einzelnen Brammenstranges nicht mehr wirtschaftlich abgedeckt werden kann, kommt fallweise ein Kokillenteiler, auch Twin-Divider genannt, zum Einsatz. Mit diesem wird ein einzelner Strang in zwei Teilstränge unterteilt. Somit können, ohne Reduzierung der Gießleistung, Stränge der halben Breite erzeugt werden.If the desired casting width spectrum of such a system by extension the adjustment range of a single strand of slab is no longer economical can sometimes be covered by a mold divider, also a twin divider called, to use. With this one becomes a single strand in two Sub-strands divided. Thus, strands can be produced without reducing the casting performance half the width.
Kokillenteiler werden üblicherweise mit einer festen Geometrie des Abstandes der Kokillenplatten voneinander, und deren Konizität, ausgeführt. Wenn Kokillenteiler auf stark unterschiedliche Formatbereiche angepasst werden müssen, werden sie entweder im Ganzen austauschbar ausgebildet, oder durch Einbau von Adapteroder Passstücken verändert. Derartige Anpassungen können nur außerhalb des Gießprozesses durchgeführt werden und erhöhen damit die Kosten infolge Stillstandszeiten der Anlage erheblich. Daneben kann die Auslegung der Schmalseitenkonizität am Kokillenteiler, sowie die Positionierung des Tauchausgusses nur für eine mittlere Gießbreite erfolgen. Beide Einstellungen ergeben durch Erhöhung der Strangschalenbeanspruchung sowie Verschlechterung des Strömungsbildes im flüssigen Stranginhalt negative metallurgische Folgen.Mold dividers are usually made with a fixed geometry of the spacing Mold plates from each other, and their taper. If mold divider they have to be adapted to very different format areas either designed to be interchangeable as a whole, or by installing adapters or Fitting pieces changed. Such adjustments can only be made outside the Casting process are carried out and thus increase the costs due to downtimes the plant considerably. In addition, the interpretation of the narrow side taper on the mold divider, as well as the positioning of the immersion spout only for a medium casting width. Both settings result from an increase the strand shell stress and deterioration of the flow pattern negative metallurgical consequences in the liquid strand content.
Das Dokument GB-A-1 308 592 betrifft einen Kokillenteiler zum Einbau in eine konventionelle Brammenkokille mit zum seitlichen Verstellen ausgebildeten Schmalseitenteilen zwecks wahlweisen Gießens mehrerer Stränge mit veränderbaren Strangbreiten, umfassend ein zur Kokille ortsfest zwischen deren Breitseitenplatten einbaubares Gehäuse mit beidseitig in Breitenrichtung der Kokille einstellbaren Verstellorganen mit an ihren Enden vorgesehenen Tragplatten und an diesen angeordneten schmalseitigen Wärmetauscherplatten.GB-A-1 308 592 relates to a mold divider for installation in a conventional slab mold with lateral adjustment Narrow side parts for the optional casting of several strands with changeable Strand widths, comprising a stationary mold between the broad side plates built-in housing with adjustable width on both sides of the mold Adjustment elements with support plates provided at their ends and on this arranged narrow-side heat exchanger plates.
Ausgehend von dem zuvor genannten Dokument besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, zur Vermeidung der genannten Nachteile einen verstellbaren Kokillenteiler zu schaffen.The task of the present document is based on the document mentioned above The invention consists in avoiding the disadvantages mentioned creating an adjustable mold divider.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht bei einem Kokillenteiler der im Oberbegriff von
Anspruch 1 genannten Bauart darin, dass die Verstellorgane mittels in das Gehäuse
integrierten Antriebsmitteln über Getriebe sowie über Antriebswellen durch
außenliegende Motoren antreibbar sind und eine Verstellung während des Gießens
oder in Gießpausen ermöglichen, und, dass alle Verstellorgane einer Tragplatte
unabhängig voneinander mit separaten Antriebsmitteln ausgerüstet sind.The problem is solved with a mold divider in the preamble of
Durch diese Maßnahme nach der Erfindung wird ein Verstellen der Gießbreite während des Gießens dadurch erreicht, dass alle vier Antriebsachsen unabhängig voneinander mit jeweils eigenen Antriebssträngen und Motoren ausgeführt sind.This measure according to the invention is an adjustment of the casting width achieved during casting by making all four drive axles independent each have their own drive trains and motors.
Diese Ausführung erfordert gleichzeitig den größten Einbauraum. Deshalb können - unter Inkaufnahme reduzierter Flexibilität des Bewegungsvorganges - bspw. die beiden übereinander angeordneten Spindeln je einer Seite durch einen gemeinsamen Motor angetrieben und mechanisch - bspw. durch geeignet gestaffelte Getriebeuntersetzungen - so gekoppelt werden, dass eine für den Gießprozess erforderliche Neigung, die sog. Schrumpfkonizität der Wärmetauscherplatten in Abhängigkeit vom Verstellweg erhalten bleibt.This version also requires the largest installation space. Therefore can - while accepting reduced flexibility of the movement process - e.g. the two spindles arranged one above the other by a common side Motor driven and mechanical - e.g. through suitably staggered gear ratios - Coupled so that one required for the casting process Inclination, the so-called shrink taper of the heat exchanger plates depending remains unchanged from the adjustment path.
Eine gestaffelte Untersetzung kann auch durch unterschiedliche Spindelsteigungen erreicht werden. Weiterhin können - unter Inkaufnahme reduzierter Flexibilität des zu vergießenden Formatspektrums - die beiden in einer Höhe liegenden Achsen der jeweils gegenüber liegenden Gießhohlräume mechanisch zusammengefasst werden. Dies kann so geschehen, dass eine durchlaufende Spindel beide Tragplatten gleichsinnig verschiebt. Diese Anordnung hat zur positiven Folge, dass die Gießleistung der gesamten Kokille stets konstant bleibt, denn während auf der einen Seite das Gießformat vergrößert wird, wird auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite dieses entsprechend verkleinert. Es ist aber auch eine Koppelung denkbar, bei welcher beide Seiten gegensinnig aber im gleichen Maße verschoben werden.A staggered reduction can also be achieved with different spindle pitches can be achieved. Furthermore, you can accept reduced flexibility of the format range to be cast - the two axes lying at a height the casting cavities opposite each other are mechanically combined become. This can be done so that a continuous spindle both Carrier plates shifted in the same direction. This arrangement has the positive consequence that the casting performance of the entire mold always remains constant, because during on one side the casting format is enlarged, on the opposite Page this is reduced accordingly. But it is also a coupling conceivable in which both sides shifted in opposite directions but to the same extent become.
Für den speziellen Betriebsfall, bei welchem in derselben Kokille sowohl eine Breitbramme, als auch zwei Zwillingsbrammen vergossen werden, wird das Gehäuse zwischen den unveränderten Breitseiten-Wärmetauscherplatten angeordnet. Dies erfordert jedoch erhöhten Bauraum und geht letztlich zu Lasten des erreichbaren Verstellweges. Darüber hinaus ist es dann erforderlich, den Antriebsstrang bzw. bei Verwendung von Linearantrieben deren Energieversorgungseinrichtung über die Breitseitenwasserkästen hinweg oder unter ihnen hindurch zu leiten.For the special operating case in which both one Broad slab, as well as two twin slabs are shed, the housing arranged between the unchanged broadside heat exchanger plates. However, this requires increased installation space and is ultimately at the expense of what can be achieved Adjustment path. In addition, it is then necessary to powertrain or when using linear drives their energy supply device over or under the broadside water tanks conduct.
Die Anbringung des verstellbaren Kokillenteilers zwischen den Breitseitenplatten der Kokille kann auch außermittig erfolgen. Damit kann der Bereich der gleichzeitig vergießbaren Formate bei gegebenem Bauraum weiter vergrößert werden, auch wenn für jeden einzelnen Strang Reserveteile bereit zu halten sind.The attachment of the adjustable mold divider between the broad side plates the mold can also be made off-center. This allows the area of the same time pourable formats can be further enlarged for a given installation space, even if spare parts are to be kept ready for each individual strand.
Eine weitere zweckmäßige Maßnahme zur Erweiterung des Verstellweges sieht vor, dass die Trägerplatte zur Verlängerung der Verstellspindeln bis zu der Wärmetauscherplatte ausgenommen wird. In diesem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, die Ausnehmung als Tieflochbohrungen auszuführen, um Abdichtungsproblemen zur Trägerplatte hin vorzubeugen.Another expedient measure for expanding the adjustment path sees before that the support plate to extend the adjustment spindles up to the heat exchanger plate is excluded. In this case, it is advantageous to use the recess to be carried out as deep hole bores to avoid sealing problems with the carrier plate to prevent.
Schließlich muß sorgfältig beachtet werden, dass die Position und - in besonderem Maße - die Neigung der Schmalseiten der Kokille im Hinblick auf die Sicherheit des Gießprozesses in sehr engen Grenzen eingestellt werden muss. Vielfach reicht zur Einhaltung der geforderten Toleranzen selbst die Verwendung spielretriebselemente wie beispielsweise Hydraulik- oder Pneumatikzylinder angeordnet werden. Diese Zugmittel müssen dann so ausgelegt sein, daß sie entweder während der gesamten Betriebszeit oder nur während der Verstellvorgänge, mit einer Zugkraft auf die Schmalseitenträger wirken, die so groß bemessen ist, daß sie alle Spiele im Verstell-Antriebsstrang stets auf der Druckseite zur Anlage bringen. Anstelle von Linearantrieben können auch von außen betätigte Seiltriebe zum Einsatz gelangen.Finally, care must be taken to ensure that the position and - in particular Dimensions - the inclination of the narrow sides of the mold in terms of safety of the casting process must be set within very narrow limits. frequently even the use of game gear elements is sufficient to comply with the required tolerances such as hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders become. These traction devices must then be designed so that they either during the entire operating time or only during the adjustment processes, with a tensile force acting on the narrow side girder, which is dimensioned so large, that all games in the adjustment drive train are always on the pressure side of the system bring. Instead of linear drives, externally actuated ones can also be used Rope drives are used.
Damit ist es möglich, den für die Spielkompensation erforderlichen Bauraum im Bereich der Verstellgetriebe zu minimieren. Wenn der verfügbare Bauraum auch für diese Form der Spielkompensation nicht ausreicht, wird vorgeschlagen, die Spiele im Antriebsstrang dadurch zu kompensieren, daß unabhängig von der betrieblich erforderlichen Verstellrichtung in einem letzten Verstellschritt immer entgegen den im Betrieb zu erwartenden Kräften verfahren wird. Der Betrag des dabei zurückgelegten Weges muß nur größer sein, als das größte zulässige Gesamtspiel im Antriebsstrang. Diese Lösung ist zugleich diejenige mit dem geringsten gerätetechnischen Aufwand.This makes it possible to use the space required for the game compensation in the To minimize the range of the variable speed gear. If the available space it is also not sufficient for this form of game compensation, it is proposed to compensate for the games in the drive train in that independently of the operationally required adjustment direction in a last adjustment step is always moved against the forces to be expected in the company. The The amount of travel must only be greater than the largest permissible total play in the drive train. This solution is also the one with the least technical effort.
Mit dem beschriebenen Kokillenteiler können auch Zwillingsstränge in einem großen Spektrum mit variabler Gießbreite ohne Betriebsunterbrechungen und mit optimaler Sumpfströmung bei symmetrischer Einströmung der Schmelze vergossen werden.With the mold divider described, twin strands can also be combined in one large range with variable casting width without interruptions and with optimal sump flow with symmetrical inflow of the melt be shed.
Damit ist die ökonomisch vorteilhafte, mit der Erfindung erschließbare Erweiterung von Brammenanlagen auch metallurgisch sensibleren Stahlqualitäten zugänglich.This is the economically advantageous extension that can be developed with the invention of slab systems also accessible to metallurgically sensitive steel grades.
Für den Einsatz im Bereich des konventionellen Zwillingsgießen ist die mit der Erfindung deutlich reduzierte Rüstzeit herauszustellen. Darüber hinaus erübrigt sich das Vorhalten verschieden breiter Kokillenteiler zur Anpassung an ein wechselndes Formatspektrum, und damit auch der Umfang der erforderlichen Reserveteilhaltung. For use in conventional twin casting, the one with the Invention to significantly reduce set-up time. Furthermore, superfluous the provision of differently wide mold dividers to adapt to changing format range, and thus the scope of the required Reserve parts inventories.
Darüber hinaus besteht auch in Kokillen mit Kokillenteiler die Möglichkeit der Reduzierung der Länge von Übergangskeilen durch Einsatz von Verstellstrategien mit stufenlos veränderter Schmalseitenneigung während des Verstellvorganges. Insgesamt wird bei gleichzeitiger Reduzierung des Schrottanfalles die Systemverfügbarkeit erhöht und damit die Rentabilität der Stranggießanlagen gesteigert.In addition, there is also the possibility of in molds with mold dividers Reduction of the length of transition wedges by using adjustment strategies with continuously changing narrow side inclination during the adjustment process. Overall, while reducing the amount of scrap, the System availability increases and thus the profitability of the continuous caster increased.
