COUPLING METHOD OF TUNDISH AND MOLD

摘要

PURPOSE:To permit quick exchange of a tundish by attaching a cylinder device of a mechanism for attracting the tundish to a mold side to the mold side and eliminating the need for attaching and detaching the pipings of the cylinder device in the stage of exchanging the tundish. CONSTITUTION:A titled coupling device is provided with a pressing mechanism and attracting mechanism for pressing one end of a feed nozzle 10 to a connecting ring 17 in press contact therewith. The above-described attracting mechanism is formed of a cylinder device 24 disposed in such a way that a piston rod 25 is brought to the tundish 1 side and a clamping device 29. The device 29 is provided to the shell 26 of the tundish 1 of the device facing the cylinder device 24 and clamps an end fitting 28 attached to the top end of the rod 25. The tundish 1 is pressed to the nozzle 10 pressed to the ring 17 in press contact therewith by which the tundish 1 is attracted to the mold 3' side.
