Overview The mold is a device that shapes the cast product in continuous steel casting, and it is also the core equipment and key technology of continuous casting machine. The main function of the mould oscillation deflection detection instrument is to detect the the mould oscillation table’s oscillation frequency, amplitude, deflection rate, phase, oscillation trajectory curve, etc. Through the detection and adjustment of the detection instrument, the mold moves along the outer arc of the continuous casting machine according to the set amplitude, frequency and waveform deflection characteristics. The actual oscillation parameters of the mold oscillation table during the production process and the process parameters of the cast products cannot be effectively known without the data detection of the mold deflection detection instrument, so that the operator cannot adjust the mould’s production process parameters in real time according to the real-time situation of the on-site production. The continuous casting mold deflection detection instrument independently developed by our company is suitable for various molds such as slab, square billet, round billet and shaped billet. The system obtains the process parameters such as actual oscillation holographic parameters and negative slip amount of the oscillation table by effectively detecting the movement of the mold. The technicians can formulate the control strategy of the mould according to these actual parameters, and improve the output and quality of the product within a safe and reliable range. The structure of the instrument Continuous casting mold oscillation and deflection detection instrument is mainly composed of sensor system, sensor signal conditioning circuit, power supply circuit, synchronous data acquisition module, communication cable, and software data analysis system. There are three axial acceleration sensors installed in the mold oscillation and deflection detection instrument, one of which is to detect the vertical oscillation signal (Y axis), and the other two are to detect the horizontal oscillation signal (X and Z axis). The signal obtained by the sensor is processed by the preprocessor and the preprocessing module.

Overview The system realizes the fixed-length measurement of the width, thickness and length of the continuously cast product through machine vision and laser rangefinding system. The measured data is transmitted to the host system through the optical fiber. The host system calculates the weight of each billet according to different steel grades and specific gravity, so that we can realize the fixed length measurement and fixed weight control of the cast products and the precise control of the steelmaking process in the production process. After cutting the billets by fixed weight and length, the fixed weight cut-to-length system is checked by the online weighing measurement system, so as to give feedback to the fixed length model of control system. The slab number (automatic checking) can also be automatically identified online by using machine vision, and the weight and slab number can be automatically stored in the local database for use in the production and management system. The measuring principle of the system On the upper surface of the billet, a set of linear CCD cameras and a laser rangefinding instrument are respectively installed. Through machine vision and laser correction, we can achieve precise measurement of the cast products’ shape. Through accurate cast products’ shape monitoring, the billet thermal expansion coefficient of cast products and cast products’ density at the current temperature, we can obtain the quality of the billet. At the same time, we can achieve high-precision quality cut-to-length , namely, fixed-weight and fixed-length. The system can be matched with the weight detection and calibration system.

Overview The infrared converter slag detection system uses a far-infrared thermal imager to monitor the situation of converter tapping in real time, and is connected to the main control computer in the electrical room through the conversion and transmission of video signals. The radiation intensity in the infrared wavelength range of 7-14um is different to distinguish molten steel and slag. In the later stage of the converter tapping, the molten steel gradually decreases, and the steelmaking slag is involved in the molten steel and flows out of the tapping hole. After the thermal imager recognizes the steelmaking slag in the imaging temperature measurement, it will give an alarm according to the slag content ratio threshold set by the software. The thermal imager will start the slide plate to close the tapping hole, so as to realize the control of the slag in the converter tapping, and ensure the maximum yield of molten steel and the minimum control of the steelmaking slag content. The effect of slag detection in converter tapping is of great significance to the control effect of the slag amount. The converter slag detection and control system developed by our company conducts non-contact monitoring of the tapping steel flow through the far-infrared detector thermal imager. It can detect the slag condition in real time and output an alarm signal and control system, which can replace manual visual inspection and provide accurate, efficient and stable slag detection effect. When the system finds the slag, the intelligent control unit quickly makes a judgment of lifting the furnace and blocking the slag and outputs an alarm signal. As shown in Figure 1, the system includes thermal imager, front purge protection box, front electrical box, power distribution cabinet, main control monitor, monitor of rocking furnace chamber, sound and light alarm, infrared converter slag monitoring software system, etc. The features of thermal imager 1.

Overview： Mold powder is mainly used in the continuous casting and steelmaking process, evenly sprinkled on the molten steel surface in the mold to lubricate, keep warm, prevent oxidation and absorb non-metallic inclusions. Mold powder is an indispensable auxiliary production material in the production process. In the process of evenly distributing the mold powder to the molten steel surface of the mold, the amount of mold powder should be controlled, and the thickness of the mold powder should be within a certain range. If the coverage thickness of the mold flux is too thin, it will cause no heat preservation, oxidation of molten steel, inclusions, cracks, large drawing resistance, steel leakage, etc. At the same time, the coverage thickness of mold flux should not be too thick, they can’t melt in time with too much mold powder, if the molten steel is churning, it is easy to get the mold powder into molten steel at this time, resulting in mold leakage. Therefore, the amount of mold powder must be controlled within a reasonable range. The detection and control of mold flux thickness is very important, especially for the steel plants which are strict with the steelmaking production process. The detection principle： The mold flux detection system developed by Wuhan CenterRise M&C Engineering CO., Ltd. uses the laser triangular sensor fixedly installed above the mold to obtain the height h1 by scanning the upper surface layer of mold flux with high-precision laser triangulation. When the laser measuring head is placed each time, the height h3 of the upper nozzle of the mold will be marked, and the system through the PLC system which is connected to the continuous casting machine through the network to introduce the height h1 of the mold liquid level. Through the calculation of three heights, we can get the thickness of mold powder H = 900-h1-(h3-h2)mm (900mm is the depth of mold). The features： The system adopts a high-precision laser triangulation distance meter, which can measure the thickness of the mold flux with high speed and high precision, and the accuracy can reach 1mm. The equipment is easy to install and use. When we are using, the laser rangefinding sensor can be placed directly above the mold without affecting production. The system can be interlocked with the automatic mold powder feeding system to automatically adjust the amount of mold powder, so as to automatically control the amount of mold powder within a reasonable range and realize intelligent automatic mold powder feeding. Non-contact measurement, the system only needs ventilation protection, simple and stable to use. The parameters： Measurement range：0-50mm Temperature measurement range: -20℃-700℃ Equipment installation distance：750mm System measurement accuracy：1mm Laser measurement accuracy: 0.1mm Frequency: 700-2000Hz Cooling method: air-cooled purging Installation method: rail sliding installation, can be slid out during maintenance Storage period: data can be stored for more than 2 years Communication method: Industrial Ethernet or Profibus-DP
