COMPLEX FOR POURING LIQUID METAL IN INGOT MOLDS ON CONVEYOR Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: complex has mixer 1 with trough 2, rotary well with pouring wheel 3 having radial discharge branch pipes 4 interconnected via annular trough 5, and drive of conveyor 10 for wheel 3. Conveyor 10 has ingot molds 9. Drive is formed as hollow disk 6 provided with fingers 7 mounted for contact with bosses 8 of ingot molds 9. Disk 6 is connected at one side with bearing 11 and at other side with pouring wheel 3 through coupling 12. Shoulder 14 of coupling 12 is positioned between disk 6 and ring 13 for transmitting rotational motion from disk 6 to pouring wheel 3. Coupling 12 may be rotated relative to disk 6 for regulating position of pouring wheel 3. Trough 5 is directed through bearing 11 for convenient maintenance. EFFECT: simplified construction and enhanced reliability in operation. 3 cl, 2 dwg
