Tiltable converter with a support - is tiltable at three points of articulation and can expand in all dirns not creating additional stresses at the articulation points

摘要

Support element has tilting trunnions spaced from the converter and is connected to the converter at 3 points so that the points of articulation (I) are disposed in a plane parallel to the tilting axis of the converter and so that the triangular surface formed by (I) is sectionalized at an oblique angle by the converter axis, and 2 (I) are situated on an axis parallel to the tilting axis at the upper surface of the support element and the third (I) is situated at the lower surface of the support element. The plant of the (I) is situated below the tilting axis; one (I) is a fixed bearing; bracket type suports are provided for the two upper (I); and the support for the lower (third) (I) is in the form of a mobile bearing and is conected to the bottom of the converter.
