- a sliding closure on the spout of a container for molten metal has a housing 1, in which a refractory plate 3 with a flow opening 4 is clamped by means of a clamping device 2.
- the structure and mode of operation of the slide closure which is used in particular for ladles containing molten steel and which are provided in continuous casting plants, is known per se (for example from EP-B 10277146) and is therefore not shown or described in more detail.
- the plate 3 may be a slide top plate of the sliding lock, however, a stationary base plate of the same could also be clamped by means of the tensioning device 2 according to the invention.
- the refractory plate 3 consists of a heat-resistant ceramic material; it can be formed in one piece, or consist of a base material and be provided with a refractory insert which forms the flow opening 4, through which the molten steel flows in the operating state when the slide closure is open.
- the plate 3 has an elongated, symmetrical shape; the longitudinal median plane of the plate 3 is designated L in FIG. 1.
- the longitudinal center plane L runs in the direction of actuation of the sliding closure.
- the plate 3 has two pairs of side surfaces 10, 11 arranged in mirror image to the longitudinal center plane L, each of which forms an angle ⁇ or ⁇ with the longitudinal center plane L, and which serve as bracing surfaces.
- the two side surface pairs 10, 1 1 are of different lengths and at a different angle, ß to the longitudinal center plane L, the shorter side surfaces 10 enclosing a larger angle ⁇ with the longitudinal center plane L than the longer side surfaces 1 1.
- Both side surfaces 10, 11 lying to one side of the longitudinal median plane L form an obtuse angle ⁇ with one another. They are connected to one another in each case via a side surface 15 parallel to the longitudinal center plane L.
- the side surfaces 10 and 11, respectively, which are opposite with respect to the longitudinal center plane L, are each connected to one another via rounded end surfaces 16.
- the tensioning device 2 for releasably holding the refractory plate 3 has four tensioning elements 22, 23 arranged in the housing 1, with an adjustable tensioning element 22 and one or two articulated stored clamping elements 23 are provided for each side surface pair 10, 1 1 of the plate 3 and arranged in the housing 1 with respect to the longitudinal center plane L.
- the clamping elements 23 associated with the longer, a smaller angle ⁇ with the longitudinal median plane L 1 associated side surfaces 11 are formed as shown in FIG. 4 and are pivotally mounted in the housing 1 about an axis a, so that they when bracing the plate 3 the effective angle ß of the side surfaces 1 1 can adjust by itself and as a result a full-surface support of their clamping surfaces 24 is ensured, which causes a uniform pressure distribution of the clamping force on the plate 3, which for the life (pliability) of the plate 3 is an advantage.
- FIG. 7 also illustrates the structure of such a tensioning element, but the tensioning element shown in FIG. 7 differs somewhat from that of FIG. 3.
- the tensioning element 22 has a base body 26 which, according to FIG. 3, is attached to the housing 1 of the slide closure by means of three screws 25 (two screws 25 are provided in the embodiment according to FIG. 7).
- the base body 26 is provided with a recess 27 which has a U-shaped cross section and a bottom surface 28 which can be seen in FIG. 7.
- a clamping jaw 30 is inserted, the shape of which corresponds to the recess 27. catching surface 31 and a clamping surface 32. There is a game between the peripheral surface 31 and the recess 27.
- the clamping jaw 30 is arranged in the recess 27 in a longitudinally adjustable manner by means of two pins 34 which can be seen in FIG.
- an eccentric 37 is provided, the axis of rotation e (FIG. 7) of which extends transversely to the direction of adjustment of the jaw 30, and the eccentric surface 38 formed with a self-locking slope with the Inner surface of an opening 40 in the jaw 30 cooperates.
- the end edge of the eccentric surface 38 is designated 39 in FIG. 3.
- the opening 40 of the clamping jaw 30 has a flat part 40b in addition to the circular part 40a interacting with the eccentric surface 38 in the region facing away from the clamping surface 32.
- the eccentric 37 can have a square head, for example.
- the eccentric 37 of the clamping element 22 according to FIG. 3 is turned clockwise and the clamping jaw 30 with its clamping surface 32 is rotated. the side surface 10 of the plate 3 clamped.
- the clamping jaw 30 can adapt itself to the respective effective angle ⁇ of the side surface 10 via the pins 34 and longitudinal grooves 35, so that a full-surface support is ensured.
- the eccentric 37 of the clamping element 22 according to FIG. 3 is rotated counterclockwise. As soon as the end edge 39 of the eccentric surface 38 lying at the maximum distance from the axis of rotation e reaches the flat part 40b of the opening 40, the clamping jaw 30 is moved away from the side surface 10 of the plate 3.
- FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 in that the clamping elements 22 ′ which can be adjusted for clamping the plate 3 by means of eccentrics 37 are assigned to the longer surfaces 11 enclosing a smaller angle ⁇ with the longitudinal median plane L.
- the tensioning elements 23 'pivotally mounted in the housing 1 are provided for the shorter surfaces 10 enclosing a larger angle ⁇ with the longitudinal center plane L.
- FIG 8 shows a further variant of a clamping device 2 "for clamping the plate 3.
- This in turn has four clamping elements, three of which are designed as clamping shoes pivotably mounted in the slide housing 1 - similar to those according to FIGS. 4 or 6.
- two of these tensioning elements 22 are assigned to the two mirror images of the longitudinal median plane L and the larger angle ⁇ including side faces 10, the third tensioning element 23", which is also designed as a pivotable clamping shoe, is arranged for tensioning one of the angles ⁇ which is smaller Side surfaces 11 are provided.
- the other, opposite side surface 11 forms the support surface for a clamping element 43 in the form of a jaw which is articulated in the housing 1 and which can be adjusted in the housing 1 by means of a clamping means (for example a clamping screw 45).
- a longitudinal groove 46 is provided for the articulated mounting, in which a housing-fixed bolt 47 is centered with almost no play.
- the clamping elements 22 ", 23", 43 thus fit themselves when the plate 3 is clamped to the respective effective angle or ⁇ of the corresponding side surfaces 10 and 11 and consequently ensure a full-surface support, which results in a uniform pressure distribution of the clamping force. This maximizes the durability of the plate 3.
- clamping element or clamping jaw 43 operatively connected to the clamping means 45 could be attached at a different location, i.e. be assigned to a different side surface 10 or 11 than shown in FIG. 8.
