The present invention relates to the field of metallurgical plants, specifically an electromagnetic coil arrangement for an electromagnetic stirring roller of a continuous casting plant. The electromagnetic coil arrangement comprises an iron core with a cross section and a first longitudinal extension and at least two coil winding packages, two fastening stubs with at least two electrical connection contacts. The fastening stubs are each arranged on the face side of the iron core. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electromagnetic agitator roller for a continuous casting plant for the production of products with large cross sections, in particular slabs. The stirring roller includes:

• a roller with a circular hollow cross-section which is rotatably mounted on both sides,
• an inlet for coolant
• a drain for coolant.

State of the art

Electromagnetic stirrers are used in continuous casting plants to produce high-quality electrical steel. If the stirrer is located in the area of the so-called pouring arch, it is referred to as a strand stirrer. If the electromagnetic stirrer is installed in a roller of a segment of the continuous casting plant, it is referred to as a so-called stirrer roller.

The strand agitator creates a stirring force in the liquid section of the strand that moves the liquid steel horizontally along a casting production width and creates a butterfly-like flow pattern in the liquid steel. The construction sees there is always a pair of rollers that act on the strand from both sides.

Such agitator rollers are, for example, from the documents US2015/0290703 A1 and US2013/0008624 A1 known.

In the documents US 4,429,731A and SU1537362 A1 Variants of agitator rollers for use in continuous casting plants are shown.

These stirring rollers consist of an iron core and coil winding packs. These coil winding packets consist of a wire that is wound into a large number of windings lying next to one another and layers lying one on top of the other. The wire is covered with an electrical insulation layer. The current-carrying coil winding packets enclosing the iron core generate the magnetic flux, which depends on the number of turns and the current strength in the windings. The magnitude of the magnetic flux density in turn determines the strength of the stirring force of the electromagnetic stirring roller. The agitator rollers have at least two electrical connection contacts in order to connect different phases in each case. Known electromagnetic agitator rollers are mostly designed with two phases, but three-phase designs are also known. The arrangement of the coil winding packets on an iron core which has a longitudinal extension means that coil winding packets at the edge with the same number of turns have a lower inductance than coil winding packets in the middle area. This is because an air gap of the magnetic circuit is larger at the periphery than at the center, increasing magnetic reluctance. With three phases, there are a plurality of three coil winding packs with an equal number of coils connected to each phase. When operating the agitator roller, the maximum current must be directed to the phase that has the lowest inductance. This means that not all coil winding packages are optimally utilized.

Summary of the Invention

The object of this invention is an electromagnetic coil assembly and a to create electromagnetic stirring roller of the type mentioned, so that all interconnected coil winding packages are designed so that they have the same maximum current carrying capacity.

The object is achieved with the electromagnetic coil arrangement mentioned at the outset in that the coil winding packages closest to the fastening stubs and all coil winding packages electrically connected to them have a higher total number of turns than a total number of turns of all other coil winding packages - each electrically connected to one another.

$$R_{m,l}=\frac{{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathit{Luft}}}{{\mathrm{\mu }}_0\ast A}$$

$$R_{m,\mathit{Fe}}=\frac{{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathit{Fe}}}{{\mathrm{\mu }}_0\ast {\mathrm{\mu }}_r\ast A}$$

$$R_{m,\mathit{ges}}=R_{m,l}+R_{m,\mathit{Fe}}$$

The coil winding packs, which are placed at the edge, have a larger air gap, since magnetic field lines emerge at least partially via one of the two end faces of the iron core. This means that these coil winding packages have a greater length of the air gap l _air in the magnetic circuit compared to those coil winding packages that are not placed at the edge. This means that the total magnetic resistance R _m,ges (cf. equation 4) is higher and the inductance therefore decreases. The inductance L is calculated by Equation 1, where N is the number of turns. The magnetic resistance in the air gap is calculated using Equation 2, where μ ₀ is the permeability of vacuum and A is the cross-sectional area of the magnetic conductor. Equation 3 shows the formula for the magnetic reluctance in iron, where µ _r is the relative permeability of the iron core. $$L=\frac{{\mathrm{N}}^2}{R_{m,\mathit{total}}}$$

$$R_{m,l}=\frac{{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathit{Air}}}{{\mathrm{\mu }}_0\ast A}$$

$$R_{m,\mathit{feet}}=\frac{{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathit{feet}}}{{\mathrm{\mu }}_0\ast {\mathrm{\mu }}_{\mathrm{right}}\ast A}$$

$$R_{m,\mathit{total}}=R_{m,l}+R_{m,\mathit{feet}}$$

These equations serve to understand the relationships, but an analytical calculation of the magnetic resistance is difficult due to the largely unknown air gap and the dynamic changes during operation of a stirring roller, and is accordingly also solved using finite element methods (FEM) programs.

The embodiment according to the invention provides that all of the coil winding packages connected to an electrical contact each have almost the same inductance. As can be seen in Equation 1, the inductance can be changed either via the number of turns N or via the magnetic resistance R _m,ges . The simplest version is obtained by adjusting the number of turns. The coil winding packets connected to the individual electrical connection contacts should have almost the same current carrying capacity and inductance by adapting the total number of turns. With this solution it is possible to increase the electrical output of the agitator roller in the range of 5% with the same space conditions. This is done by an ideal - ie the same - current distribution to all coil winding packets of the electromagnetic coil winding arrangement.

A preferred embodiment provides that the electrical coil winding arrangement has three electrical connection contacts and the number of coil winding packages corresponds to a multiple of three plus two. The number of coil winding packages is, for example, at least five, preferably at least eight, particularly preferably at least eleven, very particularly preferably fourteen coil winding packets. The coil winding packages closest to the fastening stubs have a smaller number of turns than the remaining coil winding packages. In this embodiment, the coil winding packets, which are arranged in the vicinity of the attachment stub, that is to say are arranged on the edge of the iron core, serve as so-called compensating coil winding packets. One embodiment provides that a connection contact is connected to the two coil winding packages closest to the fastening stub. In this embodiment, the number of turns of the compensating coil winding packs is greater than half the number of turns but less than the number of turns of the remaining coil winding packs. Another embodiment is that two electrical connection contacts are connected to a compensating coil winding packet.

An advantageous embodiment provides that the electromagnetic coil winding arrangement has three electrical connection contacts. The number of coil winding packages is at least three or a multiple of three. The coil winding packages closest to the fastening stubs have a larger number of turns than the remaining coil winding packages. In this embodiment, at least two electrical terminals are connected to a coil winding package closest to the mounting stubs.

An expedient embodiment provides that the iron core is arranged in a hollow support tube with a second longitudinal extension. The support tube therefore has a hollow cross section and extends along a longitudinal axis. The support tube has a support tube length which is of the order of magnitude of the casting production width. The iron core can be stabilized over the casting production width by the support tube.

A preferred embodiment provides that the iron core is arranged in a hollow support tube. The iron core is designed as a laminated iron core. The iron core is a laminated and insulated stack of laminations so that eddy current losses are minimized as much as possible. The support tube consists of a hollow profile with an inner wall, an outer wall and a second longitudinal extension. The support tube therefore has a hollow cross section and extends in one direction—that is, it has a certain length. The support tube ensures the stability of the iron core along the first longitudinal extension and thus acts as a support structure for the iron core. However, this design inevitably leads to an increase in the air gap between the winding packages and the iron core and also to an additional heat input in the support tube due to eddy current losses. In order to minimize these eddy current losses, the supporting body has at least one slit with a predetermined slit area along the second longitudinal extent, and the slit extends from the outer wall to the inner wall.

The slit has a slit length along the second longitudinal extent and a slit width perpendicular to the longitudinal extent. The slot width and slot length are understood to mean the largest dimension in each case. In a preferred embodiment, the slot has a rectangular shape. The support tube is preferably designed as a tube with an annular cross-section.

The iron core is designed in such a way that a partial volume of the iron core can be pushed into the slot from the inner surface of the support tube in the direction of the outer surface of the support tube. The partial volume of the iron core, which is pushed into the slot, is therefore preferably designed as a negative to the slot. In a preferred embodiment, the partial volume fills the slit almost completely. The slot and the partial volume of the iron core can, of course, have different dimensions in order to facilitate assembly and manufacture. The core of the invention is that the support tube over the stability of the iron core Casting production width guaranteed and the partial volume of the iron core has the smallest possible distance to the coil winding packages.

The at least two coil winding packets enclose the outer wall of the support tube completely and in partial areas along the second longitudinal extent. By inserting the iron core into the slot of the support tube, the coil winding packs can be arranged very close to the iron core. The coil winding packages have a protective layer for protection and insulation. This protective layer completely encloses the coil winding packages. The protective layer surrounds the coil winding packets in such a way that at least an outer side and both lateral surfaces of the coil winding packet are surrounded by the protective layer. The fastening stubs are each arranged on the front side of the support tube. The connection contacts are each connected to at least one coil winding package. A preferred arrangement of the electrical connection contacts is on the end faces of the fastening stubs. In this preferred embodiment, the fastening stubs have bushings which make it possible to guide the coil contacts to an end face of the fastening stub that can be seen from the outside. The coil winding packages can then be electrically connected to this end face via the electrical connection contacts.

The fastening stubs have the function of being able to mount the coil arrangement on a bearing block. On the one hand, this design enables the arrangement of the iron core across the casting production width due to the support tube and, on the other hand, the minimization of the distance between the coil winding packets and the iron core leads to an increase in the magnetic flux and thus to an increase in the stirring effect. This increase in the magnetic flux can take place without increasing the current and the space requirement.

An expedient embodiment provides that a protective tube with a hollow cross section, preferably a circular cross section, encloses the coil winding packages. The protective tube extends at least over the two coil winding packs. A possible design of the protective tube is that it consists of several parts and existing joints are sealed - for example with glued metal strips. The gaps between the protective tube and the coil winding packages are filled with filling compound. The filling compound means that as much heat as possible is transferred to an inside of the protective tube. This protective tube is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, preferably non-magnetic steel, and thus conducts the heat from an inside to an outside of the protective tube.

, bevorzugt größer $1\frac{\mathrm{W}}{mK}$

, aufweist. Die Füllmasse mit dieser Wärmeleitfähigkeit sorgt für eine besonders gute Abführung der Wärme von den Spulenwicklungspaketen zum Schutzrohr.An advantageous embodiment provides that the filling compound has a thermal conductivity of greater $0.1\frac{\mathrm{W}}{mK}$

, preferably larger $1\frac{\mathrm{W}}{mK}$

, having. The filling compound with this thermal conductivity ensures particularly good heat dissipation from the coil winding packages to the protective tube.

A preferred embodiment provides that the support tube has a plurality of slits along the second longitudinal extension, in particular at least two, preferably at least four, particularly preferably at least six, very particularly preferably eight slits, each with a predetermined slit area. The iron core is designed in such a way that in each case a partial volume of the iron core can be pushed into one of these slots; the respective partial volumes preferably fill the respective slots completely. The design with several slits has the advantage that an expansion of the tube due to possible internal mechanical stresses in the tube is prevented by means of webs located between the slits. This embodiment therefore provides for between three and ten slots to be present, which are arranged along the second longitudinal extent. So these webs prevent a widening - ie a change in an original - for example annular - shape - of the support tube, which can occur after the production of the slot. In this embodiment, the iron core therefore has a partial volume for each slot, which can be pushed into the slots. Thus, of course, the bars in the iron core must also be shown as a negative, so that the partial volumes can be pushed into the respective slots.

A further preferred embodiment provides that cooling channels are arranged next to the iron core within the support tube. These cooling channels run close to the iron core in order to dissipate the heat generated as effectively as possible. The cooling channels can be designed as a tube that is pushed into the support tube next to the iron core.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the iron core has at least one cooling channel. By arranging at least one cooling channel, the heat generated in the iron core can be dissipated particularly effectively.

A further advantageous embodiment provides that the slot area is rectangular. This embodiment is preferred in order to achieve the largest possible slot area.

An expedient embodiment provides that the coil winding packets consist of a maximum of two layers lying one on top of the other, preferably only one layer, and a large number of windings lying next to one another. The respective coil winding packet thus consists of a large number of turns that are wound next to one another and of a maximum of two turns lying one above the other. The number of turns is determined by calculations and depends on a maximum available voltage and a maximum current density at a given stirring frequency. The goal is always to provide the highest possible stirring effect, i.e. the highest possible magnetic flux density. The individual windings are covered with an insulating material so that the individual windings are electrically insulated from one another. The insulating material is preferably a polyimide film. By designing the coil winding packages with a maximum of two layers, the heat can be dissipated more easily to the outside or to the protective tube - which can be easily cooled from the outside. It has also been shown that by minimizing the layers - to a maximum of two - the electromagnetic flux density can be kept at a higher level over a longer period of time than is the case with an embodiment with more than two layers, since the heat generated can be discharged better. This design reduces a temperature difference between the inner layer and the outer layer down to 120 Kelvin. In the preferred embodiment of the coil winding packets with only one layer, the temperature difference between inside and outside can be reduced to up to 60 Kelvin—at a current density of 17 A/m ² . In versions with several layers, temperature differences - between the inner and outer layer - of 200 Kelvin were determined, which means there is a risk of exceeding the maximum temperature of the insulating materials. In order to prevent this, the energy fed into the coils, i.e. the current, must be reduced in such a case. As a result, the stirring effect is also reduced.

A particularly preferred embodiment is that the windings have a rectangular cross-section, the dimension of the winding being larger in the radial direction than in the axial direction. The windings are therefore designed as so-called standing windings. Due to the rectangular cross section, several narrow and high windings can be arranged next to each other in order to obtain the desired number of windings and still produce a compact coil winding package. In this context, rectangular also means that the corners can have curves, which ensure easier assembly when assembling the coil winding arrangement.

A winding with a rectangular cross section and only one layer has turned out to be a particularly preferred embodiment. This embodiment variant results in particularly good heat dissipation to the outside. Experiments have shown that this results in the lowest temperature difference. In this single-layer design, there are no transitions in the radial direction from the insulated winding to the insulated winding lying above it, which results in particularly good heat transport to the outside.

In a further expedient embodiment, the electrical connection contacts have a bolt with a bolt cross-sectional area, which can transmit a required energy to the coil winding packets, and a fastening bolt stub, with a fastening cross-sectional area. The bolt cross-sectional area and the fastener cross-sectional area have a ratio of 1.7 to 4. For these applications, the connection contacts must be able to be arranged and fastened in a very limited space. For this reason, the connection contact should, on the one hand, be able to transmit the required energy to the coil winding packets and, on the other hand, have a reliable attachment. Electrical supply cables should preferably be connected to the connection contacts using a cable lug. The cable lug is pushed onto the fastening stub, whereby this must be fixed in such a way that it has good contact with the cross-sectional area of the bolt. This is preferably done in that the fastening bolt has a thread and the cable lug is pressed onto the fastening cross-sectional area by screwing on a nut. Due to the reduced mounting cross-sectional area, the contacts require less space. This design makes it possible that the connection contacts - despite limited space - to the End faces of the fastening stubs can be arranged.

The object according to the invention is achieved by the electromagnetic stirring roller mentioned at the outset. The electromagnetic coil assembly described above is located within the roller. The electromagnetic coil arrangement is fixed to a bearing block on both sides. A cooling channel is formed between the tube and the coil arrangement, which is connected to the inflow and the outflow.

The role exerts a supporting effect on the strand.

This arrangement results in an electromagnetic stirring roller which, with the same electrical connected load and size, achieves a greater magnetic flux and thus an increased stirring effect.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the roller is rotatably mounted on the bearing block on both sides. This design has proven to be a particularly robust design. Another embodiment is that the storage takes place on the fastening stubs.

Description of the embodiments

In 1 a schematic representation of an embodiment of the coil winding arrangement according to the invention is shown. The iron core 2 with a cross section and a first longitudinal extent is surrounded by a plurality of coil winding packages 10u, 10v, 10w along the first longitudinal extent. Attachment stubs 12 are arranged on each end face of the iron core 2 . The fastening stubs 12 have electrical contacts 15 . These electrical contacts 15 are each connected to a specific number of coil winding packages. Each electrical contact 15 is connected to a phase u, v, w of an electrical supply network.

The coil winding packages of phase u 10u and phase w 10w each have a larger number of turns 11b than the coil winding packages of phase v 10v.

How from the 1 can be seen, two coil winding packages are connected to each of the three phases. The phase u and the phase w are each with a Coil winding package 10u, 10w connected which is closest to the mounting stub. These coil winding packages 10u, 10w connected to the phases u and the phase w have a higher number of turns than the coil winding packages 10v connected to the phase v. The coil winding packets 10u, 10v, 10w connected to the individual phases u, v, w should have a number of turns that have almost the same current carrying capacity and almost the same inductance. For this embodiment, the number of coil winding packages is a multiple of three - e.g. three, six, nine, twelve, etc..

In 2 Figure 12 is another schematic representation of an embodiment of the invention. In this arrangement, only the phase u has an electrical connection with coil winding packages 10u, which are closest to the end faces of the iron core 2 or the fastening stub (not shown). The coil winding packages 10u connected to the phase u have a higher number of turns 11b than the coil winding packages 10v, 10w connected to the phase v and the phase w.

In the 3 another embodiment is shown. This embodiment has only two electrical connection contacts 15 . The phase u is in each case connected to coil winding packages 10u which are closest to the fastening stub 12 . It is of course conceivable with two electrical connection contacts that five, seven, nine, eleven - i.e. multiples of two plus one - coil winding packages 10u, 10v are arranged on the iron core 2 and the coil winding packages 10u closest to the fastening stub 12 are connected to the same phase.

In 4 another embodiment is shown. This embodiment comprises eight coil winding packages 10u, 10v, 10w, the phases u and v respectively being connected to three coil winding packages 10u, 10v and the phase w with two coil winding packages 10w. In this embodiment, the coil winding packages closest to the face of the iron core or the attachment stub (not shown) have a smaller number of turns. The total number of turns of all the coil winding packs connected to phase u and phase v is greater than the total number of turns of the coil winding packs connected to phase w. for the inside 4 illustrated embodiment that at least five coils must be present, but it can also be arranged eight or eleven or thirteen coil winding packets - so a multiple of three plus two coil winding packets.

In the figure 5 a coil winding arrangement 1 according to the invention is shown. In the figure 5 shows how an iron core 2 is placed in a support tube 3 . The iron core 2 has a first longitudinal extension L1--that is, a specific length--and the support tube 3 has a second longitudinal extension L2--that is, also a specific length. The support tube 3 has a slot 4 into which a partial volume of the iron core 2a is inserted. The slot 4 extends from the inner wall 3a to an outer wall 3b of the support tube. A residual volume of the iron core 2b is located inside the support tube 3. The support tube 3 and the iron core 2 are enclosed by coil winding packages 11. In this embodiment, there are two coil winding packets 11, which are each electrically connected to electrical contacts 15 which are located on the fastening stubs 12. This electrical connection exists on both sides, ie on the left fastening stub 12 and on the right fastening stub 12. During operation, different phases of a supply network are connected to the electrical contacts 15 on one side. The at least two electrical contacts 15 have no electrical connection to one another. The coil winding packages 10 are surrounded by a protective layer 13a.

In 6 a coil winding arrangement 1 is shown, which differs from figure 5 differs in that the support tube 3 has a plurality of slots 4 . A web 5 is present between the slots. These webs 5 have the function of preventing the support tube 3 from widening when the slot is being made. Like in the 2 As can be seen, the webs are arranged in such a way that, in a preferred embodiment, they are completely surrounded by a coil winding packet--that is, the webs 5 lie under a coil winding packet 10.

The iron core--in this embodiment with a plurality of slots--is designed in such a way that it also has a number of partial volumes of the iron core 2a corresponding to the number of slots, which almost completely fill the respective slots. The partial volumes of the iron core 2a are represented by the vertical hatching. The coil winding packs 10 are surrounded by a protective tube 13 . Intermediate spaces present between the coil winding packages 10 and the protective tube 13 are filled with a filling compound 14 .

The cross section of a coil winding assembly is in 7 shown. The iron core 2 - which has a cross section A - is arranged in the support tube 3 . The partial volume of the iron core 2a is pushed into the slot 4 of the support tube 3 . In this embodiment, the partial volume of the iron core 2a almost fills the slot, but there is a small gap on the left and right to enable insertion. The coil winding packs 3 enclose the iron core 2 and the support tube 3, the coil winding packs 10 having two layers 11a. The coil winding packets 10 are enclosed by the protective tube 13, with a remaining space being filled with filling compound 14. Cooling channels 20 are arranged next to the iron core.

In 8 a cooling channel is present in the iron core 21 in addition to the cooling channels 20 . The arrangement shown here of the cooling channels is only an example, it is also conceivable that only the cooling channels 20 or only the cooling channels in the iron core 21 are present.

the 9 shows a stirring roller 30 according to the invention for a continuous casting plant. The agitator roller 30 includes the coil winding assembly 1 and a roller 31 which supports a strand produced by the continuous casting plant. The coil winding arrangement 1 is on both sides in a bearing block 36 - on the mounting stub 12 - fixed. The roller 31 is rotatably mounted on both sides. In this embodiment, the bearing 35 is arranged in the bearing block 36 . A cooling channel 34 is formed in the space between the coil winding arrangement 1 and the roller 31 . A coolant can be supplied through a coolant inflow 32 and removed again through a coolant outflow. The electrical contacts 15 are each connected to a coil winding package 10 .

In 10 a preferred embodiment of the coil winding packages 10 is shown. The coil winding packets consist of a layer 11a and a large number of turns 11b. The single-layer design ensures particularly good heat dissipation to the outside to the protective tube 13 or the insulating layer 13a (not shown).

In 11 an alternative embodiment of the coil winding packages 10 is shown. The coil winding packages 10 have two layers 11a and each layer 11a has a plurality of turns 11b.

In 12 advantageous embodiments of the connection contacts 15 are shown as a plan view. The space requirement on the attachment stub 12 for connecting three phases is small. On the one hand it must be ensured that the required current can be routed via the electrical connection contacts 15 and on the other hand secure attachment can take place. An electrical connection cable is fastened in a cable lug 43 and is pressed snugly against the electrical connection contact 15 with a fastening element 42—in the present example a nut.

In 13 is a plan and elevation of the in 12 connection contacts described shown schematically. The cable lug 43 is pressed firmly onto the bolt cross section 40a by means of a fastening element (nut) 42 and a washer 44 . The fastening bolt 41 has a fastening bolt cross section 41a. In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of bolt cross section 40a and fastening bolt cross section 41a is in the ratio of 1.7 to 4. Bolt 40 is advantageously designed with a round cross section and fastening bolt 41 has a thread. In the embodiment of the bolt 40 with a round cross-section, a bolt diameter is in the range of 14 mm to 20 mm in order to be able to transmit the currents required for the coil winding packets. A ratio of bolt diameter to fastening bolt thread diameter - whereby the nominal thread diameter is used here - is between 1.3 and 2.

In the 14 12 is an enlarged view of an electrical terminal including the bolt 40, the cable lug 43, the washer 44, and the fastener 42 screwed onto the fastener bolt 41. FIG.

In 15 a further preferred embodiment is shown, which differs from that in 12 differs in that a washer 44 is attached on both sides of the cable lug 43. The washer 44 which rests on the bolt 40 can also be rigidly connected to the bolt - for example by being welded to the bolt 40. But it is also conceivable that instead of Washer - which rests on the bolt - a nut is screwed onto the bolt or the fastening bolt.

In 16 a support tube 3 is shown with a plurality of slots 4, each with a slot surface. The webs 5 are located between the slots 4. The partial volumes of the iron core can be inserted into the slots 4.

In 17 a coil winding package 10 is shown with one layer.

Although the invention has been illustrated and described in detail by the preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited by the disclosed examples and other variations can be derived therefrom by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed.
