MOLTEN METAL DRIPPING DETECTOR, AND MOLTEN METAL DRIPPING DETECTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a molten metal dripping detector capable of surely detecting the dripping of a molten metal in casting equipment.;SOLUTION: For detecting the leakage of molten copper from the crack 9 of a cast wire rod 9 cast by a casting section 6, a leakage detector 7 for molten copper is installed at the width of 150 to 200 mm between the outlet port of the casting section 6 and the inlet port of a secondary cooling section 8, and also at the lower part of the cast wire rod 9. When the leakage of molten copper cuts a part of metallic bodies formed so as to be planar shape in the detector 7 at the lower part thereof, a measurement apparatus in a control section detects the cutting-off of current flowing through the metallic body and the reduction of voltage, and the control section directs an alarm apparatus to sound an alarm.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
