TILTING CONVERTER

摘要

The invention relates to a tilting converter, comprising a support ring (2) which surrounds the converter vessel (1) at a distance and which has two diametrically opposite trunnions, wherein the converter vessel (1) is attached to the support ring (2) by means of a plurality of connecting elements, and the opposite ends of a connecting element are rigidly connected to the lower face of the support ring (2) as well as to the converter vessel (1). For a more even distribution of the loads in the connecting elements, the connecting element comprises exactly one rib (3) which is shielded with respect to the converter vessel (1) by a protective element (6, 8, 9), the respective opposite ends of which are likewise connected to the converter vessel (1) and the support ring (2), although only one of said ends is rigidly connected to either the support ring (2) or to the converter vessel (1).
