AUTOMATIC STARTING METHOD OF CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINE

摘要

PURPOSE:To set the melt level of a molten metal to a prescribed level and to start automatically continuous casting by providing a temp. detecting end to the outside peripheral surface of a drum and belt type continuous casting device and rotating and driving the drum and belt when the temp. detected by said end attains a prescribed value. CONSTITUTION:The temp. detecting end 4 is provided to the optional position on the outside periphery of the drum 1 in the case of pouring the molten M from a tundish 3 into the casting space constituted of the hollow groove between flanges 11 at both edges of the large-sized drum and a belt 2 covering the surface thereof and casting continuously and ingot while rotating the drum 1 and the belt 2 at the same speed. The drum 1 is preliminarily rotated so that the end 4 is located to the position of the predetermined distance l from the reference position L of the melt level of the molten metal prior to pouring of the molten metal. The molten metal is poured into the casting space and electricity is conducted to driving motors 12 and 22a-22d of pulleys 21a-21d for driving the drum 1 and the belt 2 to start automatically the continuous casting by judging that the level L attains the prescribed level when the temp. detected by the end 4 attains the prescribed value.
