OSCILLATING TABLE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B22D11/04 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: oscillating table of crystalliser includes external load-carrying structure (10), movable structure (20) installed in it, motors (3) providing the oscillation of crystalliser, and elastic guide elements (11, 11', 12, 12') located across the direction of ingot drawing and containing the even number of pairs of first (11, 11') and second beams (12, 12'). Pairs of the first beams are located in turn in two first parallel planes and equally spaced from direction (X) of ingot drawing, and pairs of the second beams are located in turn in two second parallel planes and equally spaced from direction (X) of ingot drawing. The second planes are perpendicular to the first planes. Each of the beams of each pair is fixed with its first end to movable structure (20) and with the second end to external load-carrying structure (10) on opposite side of the appropriate ends of the other beam of the same pair.

EFFECT: providing torsional and transverse stiffness of crystalliser and high strength of its movement solely in ingot drawing direction.
