Apparatus for replacing blowing lances of metallurgical vessels

摘要

In the case of an apparatus for replacing blowing lances of metallurgical vessels, such as converters (1) or the like, in which the lance (6) can be fixed at its upper end to a slide (7) which is displaceable along a guideway (8) provided with an adjusting device (18), the guideway (8) being mounted, in its region facing the vessel (1), so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis (10), a quick and reliable turning-down of the lance and simultaneous removal from the region of the vessel is achieved in that, as adjusting device, an adjusting motor (18) acts on the guideway (8) which is pivotable between an upright and a substantially horizontal position, the adjusting motor being arranged on a supporting device (11) which is pivotable about a vertical axis (13) and is provided with the pivot joint (10) for the guideway (8). <IMAGE>
