Introduction

The converter method of production is one of the main ways of obtaining steel and an integral part of the modern metallurgical industry. The task of high-quality steel production is to reduce the amount of slag that falls into the steel ladle bucket. There are various ways to cut off converter slag: gas-dynamic cutoff, using gate types of various types, using cut-off elements.

1. Theme urgency

Let us consider a method with the use of float type cut-off elements. To insert them into the bath of the oxygen converter, special manipulators are used. Most widely used are the designs of Monocon International Refractories Ltd. (http://www.monocon.info) and Yuntian Metallurgy Technology Co., Ltd. (http://ytslagstopper.com). Such a multitude of design versions is characterized by production and technological features of the work sites of oxygen converters.

2. Goal and tasks of the research

Based on the analysis of the analysis of design features of existing manipulators:

 

1) develop a design with a minimum number of drives;

 

2) to develop a universal design of the manipulator, for various production conditions;

 

3) analyze the operation of the manipulator with various variants of the combinations of drives;

 

4) evaluate the effectiveness of the application of combinations of drives;

3.Description of construction 

The design of the axial-type manipulator for inserting the cut-off elements into the steel outlet of the converter when the steel is discharged is shown in Figure 1. This manipulator includes a vertical column 1 rotatably mounted in the lower 2 and top 3 fixed bearing supports and equipped with a bracket 4 on which the bearing assembly is mounted 5 with a vertical shaft 6. At the lower end of this shaft, the bracket 7 is rigidly fixed, having two longitudinal guides, in which are placed the rollers of the carriage 8, The locking mechanism of the bracket relative to the console includes a bevel gear pair 11 with a gear ratio of 1 connecting the vertical shaft to the rear end of the horizontal shaft 12 at the front end which is rigidly fixed to the bevel gear 13, which is able to roll over the bevel gear 14.

 

This pinion is rigidly connected to the fixed upper support of the vertical column. And the ratio of the number of teeth of the fixed bevel gear and the bevel gear is 2: 1. These ratios of the structural elements of the bevel gears allow to automatically provide simultaneous rotation of the column with the console to a corner of 90 degrees, from the initial position the relative rotation of the bracket by 180 degrees, as a result of which the bracket and the bracket will be aligned in a line and occupy the coaxial position with the oxygen converter, kick is shown in Fig. 1b. Subsequent delivery of the cut-off element to the zone where the converter outlet is located (Fig. 1c) is carried out by moving the carriage with the hollow rod relative to the bracket using a chain drive.

Conclusion

Thus, analyzing the design features of manipulators of foreign firms, we can distinguish a number of distinctive features:

 

1) Each of them in its composition has at least two drives, one - to exit the parking position, the rest - to carry out the work operation to put the rod with the cut-off element into the cavity of the oxygen converter;

 

2) The design of each manipulator is individual, adapted to certain production conditions;

 

3) Some structures even in the parking condition have large dimensions;

 

4) A number of designs can only be used for newly built converter shops.

 

The design of the manipulator of the department "Mechanical equipment of ferrous metallurgy plants. professor Sedush V.Ya. »has a lower power consumption, smaller dimensions, and can be used and adapted for different locations with respect to the oxygen converter.
