MOLD ROCKING MECHANISM OF MACHINE FOR CONTINUOUS CASTING OF BILLETS Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: mold rocking mechanism includes supporting framework; secured to it packs of sheet elastic guides arranged symmetrically at both sides relative to rocking table secured to them, spaced along height by two floors and having lengthwise symmetry axes converging to rocking axis of mold. Packs of sheet elastic guides are mounted on supporting framework by their two ends and on rocking table - by central zones of their spans. Sheet elastic guides of each pack are preliminarily bent on measure gaskets arranged between them. Ends of sheets protrude in planes forming together bundle uniformly diverging from rocking axis. Sheets are preliminarily bent in their centers according to special condition. Hydraulic cylinder rigidly secured to supporting framework is arranged symmetrically relative to sheet elastic guides along motion line of rocking table. Rod of hydraulic cylinder is joined with rocking table.

EFFECT: minimized error of reproducing theoretical motion path of mold for eccentric mounting of hydraulic cylinder allowing to shift it outside hot zone.
