Tilting converter

摘要

A tilting converter comprising a container (2), defining a first longitudinal axis X, having a bottom (2′); a support ring (3), coaxial to the container (2) and distanced from said container, provided with two diametrically opposite supporting pins (6), defining a second axis Y orthogonal to the first axis X, adapted to allow a rotation of the converter about said second axis Y; a suspension system, connecting said container (2) to said support ring (3), comprising groups (12) of first suspension devices (7), said groups (12) being arranged substantially equidistant to each other along a cylindrical side surface coaxial to the first axis X, in a position between the support ring (3) and the bottom (2′); each of said first suspension devices (7) being provided with a plurality of longitudinal elastic elements, each longitudinal elastic element being arranged alongside the next so as to define a laying plane, and a gap (15, 15′) is provided between one longitudinal elastic element and the next.

1. A tilting converter comprising:
a container, defining a first longitudinal axis X, having a bottom; a support ring, coaxial to the container and distanced from said container, provided with two diametrically opposite supporting pins, defining a second axis Y orthogonal to the first axis X, adapted to allow a rotation of the converter about said second axis Y; a suspension system, connecting said container to said support ring, comprising groups of first suspension devices, said groups being arranged substantially equidistant to each other at a cylindrical side surface coaxial to the first axis X, in a position between the support ring and the bottom, characterised in that each of said first suspension devices is provided with a plurality of longitudinal elastic elements rigidly connected by means of their opposing ends to the container and to the support ring respectively, each longitudinal elastic element being arranged alongside the next so as to define a single laying plane for each of said first suspension devices of each group, and a gap is provided between one longitudinal elastic element and the next one in each of said suspension devices of each group; wherein the gap between a longitudinal elastic element and the next is defined by a longitudinal notch passing through the thickness of a flat plate defined by the union of said longitudinal elastic elements arranged alongside, the longitudinal notches being obtained in a central area of said flat plate.
