Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for heat-treating sheet metal strips (6), comprising at least one steel pipe unit (1), which has three pipes lying in a common plane parallel to the sheet metal strip (6), namely a middle pipe (2) that can be connected to a burner and two outer pipes (3) that are connected at both ends to the middle pipe (2) by means of pipe bends (4), and a bearing (8) on the side of the steel pipe unit (1) opposite the burner for a bearing journal (9) connected to the two pipe bends (4) between the middle pipe (2) on the one side and the two outer pipes (3) on the other side, the bearing journal engaging in a journal receptacle (10) of the bearing (8) in an axially slidable manner. In order to create advantageous design conditions, an insert (16) forming a sliding layer (15) is provided between the journal receptacle (10) of the bearing (8) and the bearing journal (9) in the contact area of the bearing journal (9).
Abstract:
A device for cooling a metal strip (1) is disclosed, comprising at least two opposing nozzle regions facing the metal strip (1) continuously conveyed in the longitudinal direction thereof, with nozzles directed at the corresponding strip surface connected to collector boxes (3) for a cooling gas with flow channels (5) provided between the nozzles for escape of the cooling gas deflected from the strip surface from the nozzle. According to the invention, advantageous cooling conditions are achieved, by a grouped arrangement of nozzles in parallel adjacent nozzle strips (4) with a lateral separation from each other with nozzle openings (7) distributed over the length of the nozzle strips (4) directed at the corresponding strip surface and connected to gas channels (6) which are connected to the collector boxes (3) and the flow channels (5) for escape of the cooling gas flows are provided between the nozzle strips (4) running perpendicular to the collector boxes (3).
Abstract:
A furnace (100) for the heat treatment of annealing stock (102), wherein the furnace (100) has a closeable first furnace chamber (104) which is designed for receiving and for the heat treatment of annealing stock (102) by means of thermal interaction of the annealing stock (102) with a heatable or coolable first annealing gas (112) in the first furnace chamber (104), and a removable first protective hood (120) by means of which the first furnace chamber (104) can be closed. Furthermore, a first heat exchange device (108) which is at least partially located in the interior of the first furnace chamber (104) closed by means of the first protective hood (120) is provided for heat exchange with the first annealing gas (112) within the first protective hood (120). The heat exchange device (108) is arranged in such a manner relative to a first annealing gas ventilator (130) for driving the annealing gas that, in each operating state of the furnace (100), the annealing gas driven by the first annealing gas ventilator (130) energizes the heat exchange device (100).
Abstract:
An apparatus is described for bracing of sheet metal joints (1) in a high temperature annealing furnace with at least one support (2) holding a sheet metal joint (1) on the front side, having a central, axial transit opening (6), upon which can be placed, if necessary, a support tube (5) running axially through the sheet metal joint (1), said support tube having a carrier (2) to hold an additional sheet metal joint (1) in order to dissipate the load. In order to create favorable heating conditions, the invention proposes that the support (2) have a ring element (7) forming a transit opening (6) and with radially protruding support arms (8) distributed over the perimeter. Thus, space is available for a direct application of radiant heat onto the sheet metal joint.
Abstract:
Es wird eine Vorrichtung zum Kühlen eines Blechbandes (1) mit in Querreihen zur Bandvorschubrichtung (3) unterhalb des Blechbandes (1) angeordneten Düsen (6) für eine auf die Bandunterseite aufzusprühende Kühlflüssigkeit beschrieben. Um vorteilhafte Kühlbedingungen zu schaffen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß die als Flachstrahldüsen ausgebildeten Düsen (6) je Querreihe eine gemeinsame mittlere Strahlfläche (7) bilden und daß im Sprühbereich der Düsen (6) seitlich an das Blechband (1) anschließende Abdeckungen (10) vorgesehen sind.
Abstract:
A device for cooling the charge protection lid (2) of annealing furnaces has a preferably hood-shaped cooling casing (4) that surrounds the protection lid (2). The cooling casing (4) is provided with fans (6) for sucking air through the intermediate space between the protection lid (2) and the cooling casing (4) as well as with a plurality of air passage openings (5) through which air is aspirated through the intermediate space between the protection lid (2) and the cooling casing (4). Through the air passage openings (5) air impact jets are directed against the protection lid (2) that lies in the impact area of said impact jets, as described in patent no. 396.525. A radial fan (3) is arranged in the protection cover (2) underneath a charge bearing (8). In order to reduce technical production and operation complexity of such a device, the air passage openings (5) of the cooling casing (4) through which air jets impact on the protection lid (2) above the charge bearing (8) are exclusively located in the lower third of the cooling casing (4).
Abstract:
Bei einem Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Konvektions-Haubenglühofens erfolgen die Glühung und die nachfolgende Abkühlung unter brennbarem Schutzgas. Um trotz der Verwendung dieses Schutzgases das Sicherheitsrisiko auf ein unbeachtliches Maß herabzusetzen, wird vor Glühbeginn und/oder vor Kühlbeginn der Gasdruck unter der Schutzhaube zunächst über den Betriebsdruck erhöht und dann willkürlich auf ein weiterhon über dem Betriebsdruck liegendes Kontrollniveau abgesenkt. Schließlich wird während einer vorgegebenen Zeitspanne der Druckabfall überprüft.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for heat-treating sheet metal strips (6), comprising at least one steel pipe unit (1), which has three pipes lying in a common axial plane parallel to the sheet metal strip (6), namely a middle pipe (2) that can be connected to a burner and two outer pipes (3) that are connected at both ends to the middle pipe (2) by means of pipe bends (4), and a bearing journal (9) on the side of the steel pipe unit opposite the burner, the bearing journal being connected to the two pipe bends (4) between the middle pipe (2) on the one side and the two outer pipes (3) on the other side. In order to consider the thermal expansion that occurs in the area of the pipe bends (4), the bearing journal (9) is arranged on a bridge (10) that bridges a spandrel (11) between the two pipe bends (4), the bridge having two sections (12) that extend on either side of the axis of the middle pipe (2) and that are angled at an acute angle from the axis of the middle pipe (2).
