TOOL FOR DETERMINING STATE OF PLATES Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B22D41/38 B22D46/00 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: tool (3) for determining the state of plates (2u, 2L, 2m) of a sliding gate for measuring data on the state of plates (2u, 2L, 2m) of sliding gate (2) of metallurgical vessel (1) in the form of a ladle comprises main housing (4) with sealing device (5), device for injecting gas into collector cup (2n) through sealing device (5) equipped with pressure regulator (6), device (7) for measuring the flow rate of injected gas or a device for measuring gas pressure in the header cup and controller (8), which receives data on the position of plates. Device (5) comprises holder (51) of the collector cup, movable relative to the housing. Tool (3) is equipped with a system for anchoring the housing to container (1) or near it, which presses the seal of the collector sleeve along the axis X1 of the housing to the collector sleeve, when the housing is anchored, and the seal holder faces the sleeve-collector in the plane of the slide gate. Tool (3) comprises device (9) connected to housing (4) and holder (51) for movement of holder (51) relative to housing (4) along axis X1.

EFFECT: enabling assessment of the state of the slide gate plates when they are connected to the vessel.
