11、技術(shù)</b></p><p>　　鋼坯連軋法是一種有效的節(jié)能軋制方法。它可以生產(chǎn)盤條、鋼棒和型鋼。例如，日本未經(jīng)審查的專利出版物第52-43754 號提出的鋼坯連軋法中，鋼坯由一連續(xù)鑄造機提供，而后鋼坯被熱鋸機切成預(yù)定長度，切斷后經(jīng)暫時冷卻鋼坯部件被加熱爐重新加熱，然后被重新加熱的鋼坯部件用閃光對焊機焊接在一起，毛刺被鋼坯燒剝器上的成型刀具去除。之后連續(xù)的鋼坯被感應(yīng)加熱器加熱到軋制所需的溫度從而使得加

12、熱的連續(xù)的鋼坯由軋機群組軋制。</p><p>　　然而在這種常規(guī)的連軋法中，鋼坯必須由室溫20℃加熱到1000℃左右，以達到軋制所需的最終溫度1020℃。因此增加了很多加熱的成本。另外，連續(xù)鑄造能力和連續(xù)軋制能力的不同阻礙了鋼坯鑄造線和軋制線的直接連接。這就不可避免的導(dǎo)致了需使用巨大的設(shè)備并占用很大的空間。更重要的是，成型刀具被用來去除鋼坯閃光對焊部分的毛刺。這就使得當鋼坯被焊接好后成型刀具的壽命短而不能連續(xù)的

13、工作。從而使得在這個例子中難以完成去除毛刺的工作。</p><p><b>　　這項發(fā)明的摘要</b></p><p>　　這項發(fā)明的目的是解決上述的問題并提供一種連續(xù)軋制的方法和它的裝置。從而使得進一步節(jié)約能源和空間并獲得更高的效率成為可能。</p><p>　　這項發(fā)明的熱鋸連軋法由以下幾步構(gòu)成：連續(xù)地鑄造兩根鋼坯；用熱鋸機將鋼坯鋸成預(yù)定長

16、動式閃光對焊機，它能將鋼坯部件不斷地焊成連續(xù)的鋼坯；安裝在移動式閃光對焊機出口的移動式磨床，它能去除連續(xù)鋼坯焊縫處的毛刺；安裝在移動式磨床出口處的感應(yīng)加熱器，它能將連續(xù)的鋼坯加熱到一更高溫度；一軋機群組，它能軋制被加熱到上述更高溫度的連續(xù)鋼坯。</p><p>　　通過本發(fā)明，鋼坯鑄造線和軋制線被一連接裝置間歇的連接在一起，從而消除了使用加熱爐的需要。而加熱爐在常規(guī)方法中很常見。這就使得加熱得到有效利用。因為感應(yīng)

17、加熱器只需將鋼坯從100℃加熱到920℃以及在鑄造機輸出端將鋼坯加熱到軋制溫度1020℃,因此加熱成本得到很大幅度的減少。因為當連鑄線只有一條時很難平衡連鑄能力和連軋能力，因此將連鑄線數(shù)目提高到兩根。將兩條連鑄線和一條連軋線通過一傳送裝置連接在一起時一種有效地方式，它平衡了連鑄能力和連軋能力。另外，當連鑄線有3根或更多時，一干擾鑄造線上的熱鋸機的熱鋸機就不能放置了。</p><p>　　另外，因為熱鋸機的使用，使

19、免了加熱爐的使用，進而有效的節(jié)約了能源和降低了加熱成本。另外，由于兩條鑄造線的使用，連接裝置得以有效平衡了連鑄能力和連軋能力。這使得與常規(guī)設(shè)備相比節(jié)約了空間。再次，由于減少了閃光對焊的時間，從而延長了磨床的壽命，滿足了連軋的要求。</p><p>　　US Patent 5829117 - Hot saw cutting typecontinuous rolling method and apparatus th

36、t;/p><p>　　The present invention relates to a continuous rolling method of a billet directly fed from a continuous casting machine, and, more particularly, to a continuous rolling method and apparatus in which

37、after two billet strands have been directly fed and cut by a hot saw, the billet portions obtained by cutting are welded together by flash butt welding, followed by burr grinding, after which the resulting billet is heat

38、ed to a higher temperature by induction heating to roll the billet.</p><p>　　2. Description of the Related Art</p><p>　　The billet continuous rolling method is known as an energy-saving rolling

39、method for efficiently producing a wire rod, steel bar, or shaped steel. For example, in the billet continuous rolling method disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 52-43754, a billet, directly fed from

40、a continuous casting machine, is cut into a predetermined length by a hot saw, followed by temporary cooling of the billet portions obtained by cutting to reheat the cooled billet portions in a heating furn</p>&l

41、t;p>　　However, in such a conventional continuous rolling method, the billet must be heated by about 1000° C., from room temperature of 20° C. to a final rolling required temperature of 1020° C, thereby

42、considerably increasing heating costs. In addition, a difference between the continuous casting capacity and the rolling capacity prevents direct connection of a billet casting line and a billet rolling line,which inevit

43、ably results in huge facilities and makes it necessary to use a large space. Further</p><p>　　SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION</p><p>　　The present invention aims to solve the above-described problem an

59、, the billet casting lines and the billet rolling line are intermittently connected by a line connecting device, thereby eliminating the need for a billet heating furnace, so that energy is effectively saved and heating
