Abstract
A tiltable metallurgical converter arrangement, with a fixed bearing and an expansion bearing for the carrying trunnions, has bearing housings arranged on load cells that rest on a supporting construction designed as a sole plate. The bearing housings are secured relative to the supporting construction by adapted to accommodate tensile forces and connecting means arranged in a horizontal plane opposite each other. Thus a strictly vertical force impact on the load cells is guaranteed.
Claims8
A tiltable metallurgical converter arrangement, in particular a steel making converter arrangement, which comprises:
- A metallurgical converter vessel,
- carrying trunnions tiltably supporting said metallurgical converter vessel,
- a fixed bearing and an expansion bearing accommodating said carrying trunnions,
- bearing housings enclosing the fixed bearing and the expansion bearing,
- load cells for indicating the weight of the contents of the vessel, the bearing housings being arranged upon said load cells,
- a supporting construction including sole plate means on which the load cells rest, and
- connecting means for accommodating tensile forces being arranged opposite each other in a horizontal plane and securing the bearing housings relative to the supporting construction.
