Abstract
The invention relates to a continuous casting device comprising a support structure (16, 116), a swing lever (24, 124) which is pivotally mounted in the support structure (16, 166) around a first pivotal axis a drive mechanism (34, 134) which is connected to said swing lever (24, 124) and a continuous casting shell (14, 114) which can be impinged upon a cooling medium. A bearing (38, 138) to support the continuous cast shell (14, 114) is pivotally mounted on the swing lever (24, 124) around a second pivotal axis, whereby at least one connection for the cooling medium is integrated into the pivoting bearing (38, 138).
Claims35
Continuous casting equipment comprising
- a supporting structure,
- an oscillating lever, which is pivoted about a first swivelling axis in the supporting structure,
- a drive connected to the oscillating lever,
- a continuous casting mould, to which a cooling medium can be fed, and
- a bearing for supporting the continuous casting mould, which is pivoted about a second swivelling axis in the oscillating lever, at least one connection for the cooling medium being integrated in the swivelling bearing.
A continuous casting equipment comprising:
- a supporting structure;
- an oscillating lever, which is pivoted about a first swivelling axis in said supporting structure;
- a drive connected to said oscillating lever;
- a continuous casting mould equipped with a cooling circuit;
- a swivelling bearing for removably supporting said continuous casting mould, said swivelling bearing being pivoted about a second swivelling axis in said oscillating lever;
- and
- at least one cooling medium connection integrated in said swivelling bearing for connecting said cooling circuit of said continuous casting mould thereto.
A continuous casting equipment comprising:
- a supporting structure;
- an oscillating lever, which is pivoted about a first swivelling axis in said supporting structure;
- a drive connected to said oscillating lever;
- a continuous casting mould equipped with a cooling circuit;
- a swivelling bearing for supporting said continuous casting mould, said swivelling bearing being pivoted about a second swivelling axis in said oscillating lever;
- a collector ring integrated in said swivelling bearing, said collector ring surrounding said continuous casting mould when the latter is supported by said swivelling bearing;
- and
- sealing means co-operating with said collector ring and said mould so as to form a sealed annular collector around said mould.
A continuous casting equipment comprising:
- a supporting structure;
- an oscillating lever, which is pivoted about a first swivelling axis in said supporting structure;
- a drive connected to said oscillating lever;
- a continuous casting mould equipped with a cooling circuit;
- a swivelling bearing for supporting said continuous casting mould, said swivelling bearing being pivoted about a second swivelling axis in said oscillating lever;
- a first connection plate on said swivelling bearing, with at least one first opening for feed or return of a cooling medium, said at least one first opening being enclosed by a first sealing face;
- a second connection plate on said continuous casting mould, with at least one second opening for feed or return of a cooling medium, said at least one second opening being enclosed by a second sealing face, and said second sealing face being complementary to said first sealing face;
- wherein said at least one first opening is aligned with said at least one second opening, and said second sealing face is pressed in a sealed manner against said first sealing face, when said continuous casting mould is supported by said swivelling bearing.
