INCLINABLE CONVERTER Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC C21C5/50 C21C5/46 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in design of suspension for tilting converter housing which comprises a housing defining the position of the first axis (X), a support ring with a common axis with the housing, set at a distance from the said housing, wherein the support ring has two supporting journals located diametrically opposite and determining the position of the second axis (Y), perpendicular to the first axis (X), and providing a converter rotation about the said second axis, the first and the second suspension devices connecting the said housing to the support ring. Each first suspension device comprises a central structure attached to the housing; the first side structure disposed at the first side of the said central structure and attached to the surface of support ring; the second side structure disposed at the second side of the said central structure opposite to the said first side and attached to the surface of support ring. The first and the second side structures comprise respectively two first stops located at a distance from each other, and a group of elastic cross pieces arranged next to each other and extending parallel to each other, the ends of which are supported by two first stops.

EFFECT: invention allows to create a suspension structure for housing of converter connecting said housing with a support ring to avoids shock and overload in these areas, and to compensate for thermal expansion and ensure reliability of said suspension in contaminated environment and high temperatures.
