ELECTRIC CONNECTION DEVICE FOR CONTAINER FOR METAL HOUSING MOLTEN METAL

摘要

PURPOSE: To simplify the whole structure of an electrode by cooling a highly heat conductive sleeve which is concentrically mounted on the electrode of a metal body having one end contact with a molten metal and the other end protruded from a metal vessel such as furnace by a cooling fluid sprayed from a nozzle. CONSTITUTION: A highly heat conductive metal sleeve 19 is concentrically mounted on the protrusion of a metal body 5 having one end contact with a molten metal 7, the other end protruded from a furnace 1, and an end part 8 electrically connected to a cable 42 through a contact 43 and a pair of terminal parts 9. This sleeve 19 is cooled by a cooling fluid sprayed from a nozzle 21, whereby a body 5 is satisfactorily cooled through the sleeve 19, and the whole structure of the electrode can be also simplified by using this sleeve.
