Strand guide segment and continuous casting plant
A strand guide segment for a continuous casting plant, which strand guide segment has an upper frame, a lower frame and position-controlled hydraulic cylinder units for setting the distance between the upper frame and the lower frame and, as a result, a strand thickness of a strand to be guided by the strand guide segment. A first end of each hydraulic cylinder unit is mounted on the upper frame. At the second end of the hydraulic cylinder units, facing away from the upper frame, each hydraulic cylinder unit is detachably connected by a respective flange connection to a respective tie rod which, at its end facing away from the flange connection, is mounted on the lower frame.
1. A strand guide segment for a continuous casting plant, comprising: an upper frame; a lower frame; and positionally controlled hydraulic cylinder units for setting a spacing between the upper frame and the lower frame and thereby a strand thickness of a strand guided by the strand guide segment, wherein a first end of each hydraulic cylinder unit is mounted on the upper frame, wherein each hydraulic cylinder unit, at a second end that faces away from the upper frame, has a piston rod with a lower end that is detachably connected to a respective flange device that is connected to a first, upper end of a respective tie rod, wherein a second, lower end of the respective tie rod that extends away from the flange device is mounted on the lower frame.
2. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cylinder units by way of the respective flange devices are screw-fitted to the respective tie rods.
3. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the respective tie rods are releasably connected to the respective flange device.
4. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cylinder units are releasably connected to the respective flange devices.
5. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cylinder units are mounted by joint bearings on bolts on the upper frame.
6. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the tie rods are mounted by joint bearings on bolts on the lower frame.
7. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cylinder units are in each case clamped in the upper frame by split bearing shells and a split bearing block.
8. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the respective tie rods are in each case clamped in the lower frame by split bearing shells and a split bearing block.
9. The strand guide segment according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cylinder units at the first end thereof have in each case one bearing block having a laterally assembled position-measuring sensor.
10. A continuous casting plant comprising a strand guide which has at least one strand guide segment according to claim 1 .
