Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for installing and removing a refractory sink or a refractory sleeve in a built-in container refractory hole stone according to the preamble of claim 1, and a container for molten metal for performing the method.
- BEST ⁇ TIGUNGSKOPK cal refractory sleeves each forming a spout opening, inserted into appropriately trained hole stone openings. They are separated from them by narrow mortar joints (about 1 to 3 mm wide).
- narrow mortar joints about 1 to 3 mm wide.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a cost-effective method for installing and removing a refractory sink or a refractory sleeve or a container for molten metal in and out of a built-in container fireproof hole brick, with which the change of the sink or the sleeve considerably simplified and the risk of a change-induced hole stone damage is largely eliminated.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a method having the features of claim 1 and by a container according to claim 7.
- the change can also be automated.
- the problems associated with so-called mortar joints pre-wear in the joint area, penetration of steel into the joints or even breakthrough risk) are also eliminated.
- Any pre-wear of the perforated brick can be automatically remedied when changing the sink or the sleeve (the refractory mass filling a gap between the perforated brick opening and the sink or the sleeve is also distributed to the worn areas of the perforated brick).
- FIG. 1 shows a part of a container for molten metal with a refractory perforated stone inserted in an opening and a built-in perforated brick refractory purge to be replaced;
- Fig. 2 shows the container part of Figure 1 with a new refractory sink.
- Fig. 3 is a representation corresponding to Figure 1 with another variant of a refractory purging plug.
- FIG. 4 shows a part of a molten metal container with a perforated brick inserted in an opening and a refractory sleeve installed in the perforated brick and forming a pour opening, which is to be replaced;
- Fig. 5 shows a further imple mentation of the perforated stone and the built-in, forming a spout opening, new refractory sleeve.
- a part of a container 1 for molten metal for example, a so-called ladle for molten steel, shown, from the container, only an outer steel shell 2 and a refractory lining 3 can be seen.
- a refractory hole block 5 is inserted, which has a cylindrical hole stone opening 6.
- a refractory sink 10 is used according to the invention consists of two in one piece (prefabricated), coaxial parts 1 1, 12 consists.
- the outer part 12, which actually assumes the function of a conventional perforated brick, has a cylindrical outer surface 12b. Between this outer surface 12b and the cylindrical hole stone opening 6 according to the invention an annular gap 15 is present, which is filled with a refractory material.
- the gap width is preferably 10 to 50 mm.
- a new purging plug 10 is introduced through a bottom opening 4a of the container 1 into the hole stone opening 6 by means of a suitable device (eg hoist, push rod, robot, etc.) and is positioned and fixed therein.
- a suitable device eg hoist, push rod, robot, etc.
- the mechanical introduction allows an exact centering.
- the positioning of the new sink 10 in the hole stone opening 6 can be supported, for example, by laser measurement and / or optical methods.
- a bottom plate 17 is placed on the container 1 and the gap 15 is filled with the refractory material, which preferably takes place by means of a pump, by casting, spraying or impressions.
- the supply 18 of the refractory mass is indicated. If the hole stone 5 already have worn areas, so no hole stone repair is necessary, since the pumping mass evenly distributed in the annular gap 15 and also on the worn areas of the perforated stone 5.
- FIG. 3 shows a sink 10 'which is installed in a perforated block 5' and which has a cylindrical outer surface 10a. Between this outer surface 10a and a cylindrical perforated stone opening 6 'of the perforated brick 5' there is again a gap 15 'which can be filled with a refractory mass.
- the installation and removal of the sink 10 ' is carried out in the same manner as described above.
- a drilling tool 16 ' is indicated, with which the refractory material for the expansion of the purge stone 10' from the annular gap 15 'can be drilled out.
- the cylindrical configuration of the outer surface of the sink on the one hand and the hole stone opening on the other hand, from which results in an annular gap is advantageous, but not essential.
- the gap could be quite conically tapered or widened in a vertical direction, or angular in horizontal cross section, and then for removing the refractory mass instead of drilling tools 16, 16 'according to FIGS. 1 and 3, milling tools such as e.g. End mill would use.
- refractory sleeves which form a pouring opening can also be provided in accordance with the invention.
- chende openings of the container for molten metal or in the hole bricks used there are installed. These are sleeves, to each of which the uppermost closure plate of a sliding closure connects, with which the spout opening can be closed or kept open.
- FIG. 4 shows a perforated brick 25 with a perforated stone opening 26 installed in an opening 24 of the container 1 for molten metal.
- a refractory sleeve 30 having a pouring opening 31 is inserted into the perforated brick opening 26.
- an annular gap 35 is present, which is filled with a refractory material.
- the perforated stone opening 26 has an upper, conically widening part 26b, which encloses a space 32 which is widened in diameter relative to the sleeve 30 and its spout opening 31.
- this space 32 ' is provided in the sleeve 30' and the conically widening part 31a 'is associated with the spout opening 31'.
- an annular gap 35' is present, which is filled with a refractory material.
- the sleeve could also consist of two co-manufactured (prefabricated) coaxial parts, of which the inner would have a conical outer shape and the outer a corresponding conical inner shape. The outer part would then take over the function of a conventional hole stone.
- the built-in container hole stone 5; 5 ';25; 25 ' forms a framing stone, which ensures the stability of the system.
- the installation and removal of the sleeves 30 and 30 'of FIG. 4 and 5 is analogous to the already described installation and removal of the purge stones 10 and 10' of FIG. 1 to 3.
- the refractory mass with advantage brought out with a drilling tool 36 to bring out a worn sleeve (see Fig. 4).
- the gap has a shape other than an annular shape (for example, square in the horizontal cross section), the mass is milled out.
- the filling of the gap present around the new sleeve positioned in the perforated brick opening is in turn preferably carried out by means of a pump, by casting, spraying or pressing in (see feeder 38 in FIG.
- any pre-wearing of the perforated stone can be automatically remedied when changing the sink or the sleeve (the gap between the hole stone opening and the sink or the sleeve filling refractory mass is also distributed to the worn areas of the hole stone).
- the removal of the refractory mass can be done instead of using a drill or a milling cutter or the like by burning out by means of one or more lances.
- the refractory mass is chosen in the case that can be burned out relatively easily and even automated.
