Introduction
In the smelting process of continuous casting, ingot is formed and cooled, and then the slab is separated from the ingot by using a slab discharge device. During the operation of the continuous casting machine, the temperature of the air of the refrigerator is generally lower than 80 ℃, and there will also be different kinds of sticks between different steel grades. In order to separate different types of steel, manual plugging is usually used, which is usually carried out by workers. This not only affects the efficient operation of the equipment, but also affects the safety of workers. Therefore, the design of an automatic plugging device to automatize the plugging process is of great significance.
Design principles
This automatic plugging device is designed to automatically insert a certain iron plate between two adjacent steel grades after the slab has been cooled down. This device will use a position detection system to detect the position of the slab and move the iron plate horizontally to align it with the slab. After positioning, the iron plate will be inserted into the slab automatically. In addition, the automatic plugging device will also be equipped with a control system to provide the necessary power and control.
Design description
This automatic plugging device is composed of a horizontal movement mechanism, a vertical movement mechanism, a position detection system, a power and control system, and a plugging system, etc. Among them, the horizontal movement mechanism is composed of a steel plate driving platform, a swing arm drive plate, and a positioning system. Its role is to drive the iron plate to move on the horizontal plane and complete the lateral positioning. The vertical movement mechanism is composed of a lifting table, a lifting cylinder and a positioning system, and it can drive the iron plate to move on the vertical plane and complete the vertical positioning. The position detection system is mainly composed of sensors and control systems, which can accurately sense the installation position and complete the subsequent control operations. The power and control system is responsible for providing power to the equipment and controlling the movement of the components. Finally, the plugging system includes a plugging platform, a plugging cylinder, etc., which can automatically insert the iron plate into the slab when the iron plate is accurately positioned.
Conclusion
This automatic plugging device for iron plate for isolating different kinds of steel has the advantages of high accuracy, low labor intensity and high safety. After the slab is cooled, this device can not only accurately locate the iron plate, but also insert the iron plate into the slab automatically.
