Technical field
[0001]
 The present invention relates to a mold for continuous casting to produce a are allowed to cast strip solidified while cooling molten steel.
Background technique
[0002]
 Continuous casting mold is a mold formed by using a copper plate. Continuous casting mold, the space corresponding to the thickness and width of the slab to be cast is formed by the copper plate, the space penetrates in the vertical direction. Further, in order to solidify the molten steel is poured into the mold is cooled, the outer surface of the copper plate (cooling surface) side is cooled. Such poured been molten steel from above into the mold of the continuous casting mold is cooled, gradually pulled downward while solidifying from a portion in contact with the inner surface of the copper plate (molten steel surface).
[0003]
 Cooling of the mold is carried out outside surface of the copper plate by water cooling. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the outer surface of the copper plate 2 constituting the mold (cooling surface) 2b are numerous water guide groove 2c is formed. On the other hand, the outer surface 2b of the copper plate 2 is to suppress deformation of the copper plate 2 due to thermal stress generated in the copper plate 2 and the copper lid called back plate 4 is a strength member for keeping the mold in dimensions , it is fixed by a bolt 8 at a plurality of locations. Thereby, the opening portion of the water guide groove 2c is covered with the back plate 4, spillway which cooling water flows is formed.
[0004]
 Further, the copper plate 2, while avoiding a water guide groove 2c, from the back plate 4 side, holes 2d formed to the copper plate 2 through the back plate 4 is formed. The hole 2d, the temperature detector 6 for detecting the mold temperature is inserted. As the temperature detector 6, conventionally, a sheath thermocouple is used. Detection result of the temperature detector 6 is provided to monitor the template in circumstances, for example, used for the detection of troubles such as breakout is solidified portion of the outer surface of the molten steel shell leaks molten steel tear. Further, the temperature distribution generated in the copper plate 2 is said to reflect the like molten steel flow in the mold, in that by monitoring the quality determination of the quality of the slab, the detection result of the temperature detector 6 is used ing.
[0005]
 Temperature detection unit 6, as shown in FIG. 19, is inserted from the back plate 4 side to the hole 2d, it is installed by fixing the fixing portion 6a to the back plate 4. Fixing portion 6a is, for example, a screw member, by screwing the screw groove formed in the vicinity of the opening of the back plate 4 holes 2d, it is possible to fix the temperature detection unit 6 to the back plate 4. At this time, the temperature detector 6, in the thickness direction of the copper plate 2, ensure thermocouple tip the temperature detection point is disposed so as to be located molten steel surface 2a side than the tip of the water conducting grooves 2c (bottom of the groove) that. In between the tip and the molten steel surface 2a of the water guide grooves 2c, since the temperature gradient which is substantially linear approximation and the temperature of the cooling water temperature and the molten steel surface 2a is formed, between the tip and the molten steel surface 2a of the water conducting grooves 2c by arranging the temperature detection points of the temperature detecting unit 6, it is possible to estimate the temperature of the molten steel surface 2a.

Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0007]
 However, the case of arranging the temperature detection unit 6, as shown in FIG. 19, in the copper plate 2, the holes 2d and water guide groove 2c of the temperature detector 6 is inserted is formed adjacent. Thus, through a gap between one side surface 4a of the back plate 4 facing the cooling surface 2b and this copper plate 2, the cooling water flowing through the water guide grooves 2c enters the hole 2d, the temperature detected by the temperature detector 6 there is a possibility that the inhibition.
Also, when trying to increase significantly the temperature detection point to an existing template, the number of holes 2d increases, the probability of water entering increases the hole 2d, problems due to such reduction in the strength of the back plate 4 (water there penetration and heat distortion deformation increase in copper) also concerns the like. Further, the spacing between adjacent water guide groove 2c may better portion temperature detector 6 is installed between the water guide groove 2c is wider than the portion where the temperature detecting unit 6 is not installed. Therefore, when installing a temperature detector 6 to form a new hole 2d between water guide groove 2c to an existing template, the average value of the spacing of the water guide groove 2c is increased, the cooling efficiency may be decreased . The temperature detector 6, during maintenance of the mold is also a consumable is replaced with a new one, it may not be possible to easily increase the number.
[0008]
 As the thermocouple used as a temperature detecting unit 6, from the viewpoint of durability and electromagnetic noise suppression, ungrounded sheathed thermocouple having an outer diameter of 3.2mm is used. The thermocouple, about 10% of the outer diameter (i.e., about 0.3 mm) metal account for more than (e.g., stainless steel) thickness and the sheath, strands having about 15% or more of the diameter of the outer diameter (Ni , an alloy of Cr), heat capacity, such as an electrical insulating material occupying therebetween, such as by variations in responsiveness due to such variations in the thermal contact resistance between the sheath outer surface and the copper plate hole inner surface, is a fear that does not reflect accurately the temperature of the hole bottom is there.
[0009]
 On the other hand, in recent years, along with the need for multiple point measurement of the mold temperature, it tends to increase the temperature detection point of a temperature detector 6. Therefore, temperature measurement and using a plurality of thermocouples are readily installed than thermocouples, high precision and stable fiber Bragg grating for realizing the multiple point measurement (Fiber Bragg Grating, hereinafter, " the FBG. ") temperature using a sensor
measurement is employed. FBG sensor is a one of the optical fiber sensor, stacked plurality of layers of different refractive index in the core portion of the optical fiber to form a grid, reflecting only light with a wavelength specified by the lattice spacing refractive index or transmission It has a structure to be. Change in refractive index due to temperature of the FBG and strain (i.e., expansion and contraction), the grating period of the FBG changes, the wavelength reflected changes. Thus, type white light (light having a spectrum spread smoothly over a wide wavelength range) to the FBG sensor, by detecting the wavelength of the reflected light by the spectroscope, it is possible to determine the temperature at the location of the FBG.
[0010]
 In such a FBG sensor, since it is possible to determine the temperature detection points by the detection wavelength range and temperature range, etc., to be positioned relative to one optical fiber, for example, the temperature detection point of a few ten-point at an arbitrary position can. In this case, it is possible to the spacing of the temperature detection point of about 10 mm, is excellent in spatial resolution. Also, there is therefore utilizes light transmitted through the optical fiber signal transmission, an advantage that is not affected by electrical noise such as an electromagnetic brake.
[0011]
 However, the FBG sensor is, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is common is fixedly installed inside the copper plate, it is difficult to easily attach and detach the FBG sensor with respect to the copper plate. When installed by fixing the FBG sensor to a copper plate, the FBG sensor for each replacement of the copper plate also becomes possible to waste containers could not be used repeatedly.
[0012]
 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention, the temperature of the copper plate can be detected with high accuracy, and easily detachable temperature detector with respect to the copper plate It comprises, to provide a new and improved continuous casting mold.

Figure 6 is a partial enlarged view of the support member 110 shown in FIG. 5, upper diagram shows a state seen from the right side of FIG. 4, below shows a state seen from the left side of FIG. 4.
[0045]
 Support member 110 is a member for supporting the sensor unit 130. As the support member 110, for example, a metal rod cylindrical (e.g., copper rod) can be used. The support member 110, the sensor unit 130 is provided so that the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal direction of the sensor unit 130 corresponds.

The diameter of the small diameter portion 114, tension member 120 in thickness and the protective tube 135 of the outer diameter and the like, are set in accordance with each part size, e.g., 0.2mm approximately smaller set than the diameter of the large-diameter portion 112. The sensor unit 130, the temperature detection point P on the small diameter portion 114 is fixed to the support member 110 to be positioned.
[0048]

Further, the support member 110 according to the present embodiment, the length of the large diameter portion 112 in the longitudinal direction is about than half than the length of the small diameter portion 114 is not limited to the present invention is such an example, its length and can be appropriately set, the large-diameter portion 112, small diameter portion 114 may be different lengths of the respective.
[0049]
 Further, as shown in FIG. 6 below, the support member 110, one groove 111 in the longitudinal direction are formed. Support member 110 is made of a metal member, since it has an insertion hole 14h and the clearance of the mold 10, not necessarily the inner surface and the same temperature of the insertion hole 14h. Further, when the sensor unit 130 to the support member 110 are in contact, FBG sensor 131 measurement accuracy will undergo temperature influence of the support member 110 is lowered. Therefore, a groove 111 in the support member 110, with a tension member 120 which will be described later, by fixing the sensor portion 130 along the grooves 111 in the support member 110, spaced apart from the sensor unit 130 and the support member 110 it can be. This allows the sensor 130 to reduce the temperature influence from the support member 110. It will be described later method of fixing to the support member 110 of the sensor unit 130.
[0050]
 In this embodiment, the grooves 111 of the support member 110, as shown in FIG. 4, having a space of the cross-sectional shape of substantially square. The cross-sectional shape of the space of the present invention is not limited to this example, the groove 111 may be, for example, a triangular shape or a semicircular shape.
[0051]
(Tension member)
 tension member 120 serves to fix the sensor unit 130 to the support member 110, as shown in FIG. 4, insert the protective tube 135 of the sensor portion 130 which is inserted into the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A pore 14h is a member for pressing the inner peripheral surface of the. The tension member 120 has elasticity, to use a filamentous or film-like member having heat resistance may, for example, can be used Kevlar® yarn like. Tension member 120, a plurality provided in the small diameter portion 114 of the support member 110 is stretched in the opening portion of the groove 111. For example, when using the tension member 120 of the thread, as shown in FIG. 4, the tension member 120, as put in the opening portion of the groove 111, one to several times, around the outer periphery of the small diameter portion 114 of the support member 110 It is wound. Of tension member 120, stretched portion to the opening portion is tension provided portion 122.
[0052]
 Tension member 120, in the temperature detection point P of the sensor unit 130, and pressed against the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h of the sensor unit 130 in the outer surface of the tension section component 122 is fixed. On the other hand, in the temperature detection point portion other than P of the sensor unit 130 at a portion positioned on the small diameter portion 114 of the support member 110, located in the space of the groove 111 of the sensor portion 130 in the inner surface of the tension member 120 make. And a portion is positioned portion and an inner be positioned outside of the sensor unit 130 with respect to tension member 120, providing repeated in the longitudinal direction, alternately sensor unit 130 within tension member 120 provided on the support member 110 It is combined. Thus, the sensor unit 130 is fixed to the support member 110 via the tension member 120. Support member 110 will be described later in detail positional relationship between the tension member 120 and the sensor unit 130.
[0053]
(Sensor section)
 on the basis of FIGS. 7 and 8, a configuration of the sensor section 130. FIG. 7 is a schematic explanatory diagram for explaining the principle of the FBG sensor 131. Figure 8 is a graph showing the response of the FBG sensor 131 when changing the diameter of the protective tube 135. Sensor unit 130 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the FBG sensor 131 for detecting the temperature of the copper plate 14A, and a protective tube 135. To protect the FBG sensor 131.
[0054]
 FBG sensor 131 is a one of the optical fiber sensor, a change in temperature or strain is detected as a change in light wavelength. FBG sensor 131, as shown in FIG. 7, the core portion 132 through which light propagates, covering the outer periphery of the core portion 132, a clad portion 133 back to the core unit 132 by reflecting stray light, the outer periphery of the cladding portion 133 covering, consisting of covering portion 134 to protect the core 132 and cladding 133 from the external environment. The core unit 132, FBG132a is provided which is formed by overlapping a plurality of layers of different refractive index. Incidentally, the coating unit 134 may be omitted in the present invention.
[0055]
 FBG132a has a structure that reflects or transmits only light of a wavelength that is specified by a lattice spacing refractive index. When FBG132a by temperature changes expands and contracts, the grating period is changed, the wavelength of light reflected is changed by FBG132a. Therefore, the incident white light FBG sensor 131, by detecting the spectrometer wavelength λ of the reflected light, it is possible to determine the temperature at the location of FBG132a. That is, the position where FBG132a is provided a temperature detection point P. In general, it is possible to provide a plurality of FBG132a to one optical fiber, the interval can be set to about 10 mm.
[0056]
 FBG sensor 131 is a superfine, there is a possibility that broken and inserted into the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A at the FBG sensor 131 alone. Therefore, in this embodiment, to protect the protective tube 135 a FBG sensor 131, to prevent damage to the FBG sensor 131.
[0057]
 Protective tube 135 is a tubular member deformable in the radial direction, to protect the FBG sensor 131 inserted into the cylinder. Protective tube 135 in the insertion hole 14h, in contact with the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h. Accordingly, when inserting the sensor portion 130 in the insertion hole 14h together with the support member 110, so that it can be easily inserted, the protective tube 135, the copper plate 14A heterogeneous material, preferably formed from a good material slip. For example, the protective tube 135 may be formed from a resin such as polyimide.
[0058]
 Here, the sensor unit 130 according to the present embodiment is formed by inserting the FBG sensor 131 to the protective tube 135. Sensor unit 130, the relationship between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the protective tube 135 of the FBG sensor 131, the measurement accuracy and response of the FBG sensor 131 is different. Therefore, the outer diameter and the result of this is investigated a relationship between the inner diameter of the holes to be inserted the FBG sensor 131, find that the output response of the FBG sensor 131 inside diameter of the hole is inserted larger the FBG sensor 131 decreases did. Figure 8, the FBG sensor 131 assumes an inserted model pores formed in the copper block, showing the results of simulation for the output response of the FBG sensor 131 with respect to the temperature change of the pores. When considering the relationship between the inner diameter and the response of the protective tube 135 in the present embodiment, the pore inner surface in the simulation can be regarded as equivalent to the protection tube surface of this embodiment.
[0059]
 In the simulation, it was calculated when the temperature of the pore inner surface of the copper block was raised stepwise to 155 ° C. from 0.99 ° C., a temperature increase of FBG sensors located in the center of the pores. FBG sensor 131 was assumed as quartz having an outer diameter of 0.125 mm. Between the pore and the FBG sensor 131 are filled with air, the pore inner surface was uniform temperature. In such conditions, when the inner diameter of pores 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, is changed from 3.0 mm, the time variation of the temperature which is estimated to be detected by the FBG sensor 131 8 It became like.
[0060]
 From FIG. 8, as the inner diameter of the pore is small, a shorter time it can be seen that detect the temperature of the pore inner surface. During continuous casting, in order to correctly grasp the internal template situation changes momentarily it requires a certain response within a predetermined time. For example, in order to ensure a response of more than 95% within 5 seconds, from FIG. 8, the inner diameter of the pores should be 0.5mm or less.
[0061]
 This suggests the need for pores in the viewpoint of the responsiveness of the variation. When pores securing the FBG sensor 131, due to the influence of elongation of the pores full length, not necessarily to be an accurate temperature measurement. Therefore, FBG sensor 131 should be loose with respect to the porous.
[0062]
 Meanwhile, FBG sensor 131, providing loosely with respect to the porous, since it is possible to move in the radial direction of the pores, the position in the radial direction of the pores not determined in one place. For example FBG sensor 131 may also contact the pore inner surface In some cases in the center of the pore. At this time, FBG sensor 131, responsive increases from the center of the pores closer to the inner surface, without depending on the internal diameter of the pores, FBG sensor 131 sufficiently quick response than a second to contact the inner pore surface there is a case that shows. That is, the more the inner diameter of pores is large, the FBG sensor 131 is a difference in the response in the case of contact with the case and the hole inner surface in the hole center is increased, the greater the variation of the response time of the FBG sensor 131.
[0063]
 For example, variations in the response time due to the position variation in the radial direction of the FBG sensor 131, the inner diameter of the pores whereas a 0 to 0.92 seconds in the case of 0.5 mm, an inner diameter of pores 3.0mm of the 0 to 3.18 seconds in the case. Thus, the variation in response time is increased, the reliability of the measured temperature of the FBG sensor 131 is impaired.
[0064]
 Moreover, unlike the present embodiment, when the FBG sensor 131 and applied between the protective tube 135, the protective tube 135 and is free even have clearance contact and non-contact between the copper plate hole 14h is, the FBG sensor 131 responsiveness of, become those overlapping response of Figure 8, the above results shown in FIG. 8, so that the large response delay occurs. Further, with respect to the insertion hole 14h, when the position in the radial direction of the protective tube 135 and the FBG sensor 131 Considering that vary, the response of the variation becomes even greater, the reliability of the measurement becomes more scarce.
[0065]
 In view of the foregoing, the sensor unit 130, the protective tube 135 inner diameter of 0.5mm or less, and by inserting the FBG sensor 131 loosely. Thus, FBG sensor 131, without being affected by the elongation strain of the protective tube 135, it is possible to maintain a predetermined response within a predetermined time period.
[0066]
 The fixing of the protective tube 135 and the FBG sensor 131, it may be fixed in at least one location, other than the fixed portion, as shown in FIG. 4, apart from the protective tube 135 and the FBG sensor 131. Fixing portion of the protective tube 135 and the FBG sensor 131, preferably provided on the opening side of all the temperature detection points insertion hole 14h than P of the FBG sensor 131. Thus, it is possible that all the temperature detection point P of the FBG sensor 131 to be unaffected in the elongation strain of the protective tube 135. For example, at the end located on the opening side of the insertion hole 14h when inserted into the insertion hole 14h, and fixing the protective tube 135 and the FBG sensor 131, a protective tube 135 and the FBG sensor 131 in the other part fixed it may not be.
[0067]
(3) inserting hole and the positional relationship between the temperature detecting portion
 temperature detector 100 consisting of the members described above, in the longitudinal direction, the large-diameter portion 112, small diameter portion 114 other than the temperature detection point P of the support member 110, and the temperature in each position of the small diameter portion 114 of the detection point P by varying the placement of each member, the sensor unit 130 is fixed to the support member 110 further includes a temperature detection point P of the sensor unit 130 is fixed in position there. 9-11 show cross-sectional views in the longitudinal direction of the temperature detecting portion 100. Figure 9 is a sectional view along D-D cutting line of Figure 6. Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along E-E cutting line of FIG. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view of Es-Es cutting line in FIG. 6, the left view shows a state before insertion into the insertion hole 14h, the right figure shows the state after insertion into the insertion hole 14h.
[0068]
(Configuration of the large-diameter portion)
 First, the large diameter portion 112 of the support member 110 tension member 120 is not provided, as shown in FIG. 9, the sensor unit 130 is located in the inner space of the groove 111 of the support member 110 to. Large-diameter portion 112, when inserted into the insertion hole 14h, because it is inner surface facing the portion of the insertion hole 14h, tension member 120 on the outer periphery of the large diameter portion 112 is not provided. In this case, the sensor unit 130 to a position in the inner space of the groove 111 can be provided without coming into contact with the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h.
[0069]
(Configuration of the small-diameter portion)
 on the small diameter portion 114 which are alternately arranged and the large diameter portion 112 in the longitudinal direction of the support member 110, a small diameter portion and the temperature detecting point portion other than P, the temperature detection point P is located is located There is a small diameter portion, configured differently in each. Between adjacent temperature detection point P, at least one temperature detection point P than
good to the small diameter portion which portion of the outside is located is provided. As described below, by difference and a small diameter portion which is positioned the temperature detection point P, the construction of the small-diameter portion which is a portion other than the temperature detecting point P located, the support member of the sensor unit 130 through the tension member 120 it is to fix the 110. In FIG. 6, for example, when the temperature detection point P is in the position of the Es-Es cutting line, a small diameter portion adjacent the small diameter portion of the temperature sensing point P is located across a large-diameter portion 112 (i.e., E-E cutting line the small-diameter portion) with the portion other than the temperature detection point P is located. Incidentally, the vicinity of the front end portion of the protective tube 135 is preferably set to the large diameter portion 112.
[0070]
Temperature detection points other than
 of the support member 110 to tension member 120 is provided a small diameter portion 114, at a position other than the temperature detection point P of the sensor portion 130, as shown in FIG. 10, the sensor unit 130, Zhang located in the space on the inside of the portion member 120 and the groove 111. In this case, the sensor unit 130 does not contact with the support member 110 is provided so as much as possible as will be separated, into contact with the tension provided portion 122 inside of the tension member 120. The reason will be described later, thereby, the sensor unit 130, it becomes less susceptible to heat from the support member 110, it is possible to increase the temperature measurement accuracy, and, by tension member 120 to the outside of the groove 111 by being regulated so as not to, can be fixed to the support member 110.
[0071]
 Moreover, in this way, the sensor unit 130 is along the grooves 111 in the longitudinal direction, and, as will be described later, is centripetal width center of the groove 111 after insertion into the insertion hole 14h. Thus, a deep (e.g., 400mm) of the case to be inserted into the insertion hole 14h of the temperature detector 100 can also determine better the accuracy (circumferential direction of the insertion hole) mounting direction of the sensor unit 130.
[0072]
Temperature detection points
 of the small-diameter portion 114 of the support member 110 tension member 120 is provided, the temperature detection point P of the sensor portion 130, as shown in FIG. 11, the sensor unit 130, the tension member 120 located on the outside. Before being inserted into the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A, as shown in FIG. 11 left, the protective tube 135 is provided in contact with the outside of the tension provided portion 122 of tension member 120. Here, the sensor unit 130 is substantially is straight installed without flexed longitudinally. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, the sensor unit 130 at a temperature detection point P and other portions, by installing through alternately outside and inside the tension member 120, the longitudinal direction given It is fixed as knitted into tension member 120 which is positioned. As described above, in the position other than the temperature detection point P of the small diameter portion 114, the sensor unit 130, also to be provided to contact the tension provided portion 122 inside of the tension member 120, due to such fixed it is.
[0073]
 In the temperature detection point P, the protective tube 135 is maintained substantially in a circle shape. In this state, the maximum length of the temperature detecting portion 100 in the radial direction, i.e., length to the outer periphery of the large diameter portion 112 of the support member 110 from the outer circumference of the protective tube 135 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 14h It is set to be.
[0074]
 When the support member 110 where the sensor unit 130 is fixed is inserted into the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A, as shown in FIG. 11 right, the protective tube 135 is pressed by the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h by tension section min 122 deformed radially, an elliptical shape. In this manner, by contacting against the temperature detection point P on the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h, and the outer interior surface and Zhang provided portion 122 of the insertion hole 14h, the contact area between the outer peripheral surface of the protective tube 135 increases, temperature detection point can be prevented from moving in the insertion hole 14h. Also, the more likely that the interval between the insertion hole 14h and Zhang provided portion 122 is located, the protective tube 135 in the vicinity M1 points becomes maximum, the installation position of the protective tube 135 (the circumferential position of the insertion hole 14h inner surface) is stable to. Therefore, it is possible to securely fix the temperature detection section P in a predetermined position, it is possible to improve the measurement accuracy. Further, similarly to the portions other than the temperature detection point P, the sensor unit 130, because it is spaced apart from the support member 110 by the groove 111, less susceptible to heat from the support member 110, to increase the temperature measurement accuracy it can. By further be FBG sensor 131 is provided loosely in the protective tube 135, without FBG sensor 131 is influenced by the elongation strain of the protective tube 135 can increase the temperature measurement accuracy.
[0075]
 Length from the opening to the outer circumference of opposing grooves 111 of the support member 110 (hereinafter referred to as "sensor unit width".) Ds is the sensor unit 130 width of the large-diameter portion 112, tension member 120 in thickness, protection It is determined according to the inner diameter of the outer diameter and the insertion hole 14h, the tube 135. For example, the temperature detection unit 100 is wound tension member 120 of the thread diameter 0.05mm to support member 110 with a diameter of 4 mm, an inner diameter of 0.5 mm, the protective tube 135 having a thickness of 0.04mm of diameter 0.125mm the sensor unit 130 formed through the FBG sensor 131 may be constituted by fixed. At this time, the inner diameter of the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A for inserting the temperature sensing unit 100 can be sized to have to have a clearance of about 0.1mm in the outer diameter of the support member 110.
[0076]
 The position in the thickness direction (Y direction in FIG. 4) of the copper plate 14A of the protective tube 135 is in contact is determined by the installation precision in the circumferential direction of the support member 110. For example, if the thickness direction temperature gradient of the copper plate of 20 ° C. / mm, to a measurement error within 5 ° C., the tolerance of positional displacement in the thickness direction of the copper plate 14A is required to be within 0.25 mm. When this is converted in the circumferential direction of the deviation, it is necessary to keep the order of 0.73 mm ~ 0.83 mm. Therefore, to define the position in the thickness direction of the protective tube 135 with an accuracy of about 0.2 ~ 0.3 mm using a pin or the like at the top surface or the like of the copper plate 14A, it may define a circumferential position. Accordingly, the collapse allowance of the diameter of the protective tube 135, for example by a 0.2 mm, can be a measurement error of the FBG sensor 131 within a predetermined range. Furthermore, without the FBG sensor 131 is fixed sandwiched protective tube 135 also upon insertion of the temperature sensing unit 100 into the insertion hole 14h, FBG sensor 131 while maintaining a loose state to the protective tube 135, protection accuracy of reliably and position the tube 135 into the insertion hole 14h inner surface can also be good contact.
[0077]
 Collapse margin of the protective tube 135, and thus the inner diameter of the protective tube 135 is determined by the tolerance for fitting the fiber diameter of the insertion hole 14h and the support member 110. Minute of the difference between the maximum gap and the minimum clearance after fitting (gap deviation), collapse cost varies. Therefore, in order to contact the protective tube 135 to stably insert hole 14h is collapsed margin is, it is necessary that the gap deviation above. The gap deviation, the fitting tolerance is reduced when a high accuracy can be reduced even collapse margin. From JIS standard or the like, in a generally removable from the following rod outer diameter 4mm (the original material of the support member 110) in the insertion hole 14h is manufactured by the following tolerance 0.048mm in both the bar and the insertion hole 14h it is necessary, the processing cost of the holes and the supporting member is increased when reducing the tolerance. Insertion hole becomes a gap deviation of about 0.1mm when the tolerance of the rod to 0.048 mm, the collapse margin needs to be larger than 0.1mm.
[0078]
 The protective tube 135, since after deformation is FBG sensor 131 is loose from the protective tube 135, the inner diameter is required to be greater than the sum of the outer diameter and the gap deviation of the FBG sensor 131. The outer diameter of the optical fiber for applying a FBG sensor 131 and the like 0.05 mm ~ 0.15 mm. As described above, the insertion the holes 14h and to account for such suppressing expensive processing costs of the support member 110, the inner diameter of the protective tube 135, 0.15 mm (when optical fibers 0.05 mm) ~ 0.25 mm (fiber 0 .15mm at the time) or more is required. And points above, the simulation from the results shown in FIG. 8, from the fact that the upper limit of the inner diameter of the protective tube 135 is 0.5mm, the inner diameter of the protective tube 135 is required to be 0.15mm or more 0.5mm or less .
[0079]
 Furthermore, the heat capacity by reducing the thickness of the protective tube 135 can be reduced, and since it is also possible to insulate the support member 110, FBG sensor 131 can adapt to the copper plate temperatures at high response. Further, FBG sensor 131, as shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to react the copper plate temperatures at a sufficient response to the internal diameter of the protective tube 135 and 0.5mm or less. Accordingly, the temperature detecting unit 100 according to this embodiment can detect the copper plate temperature with high response using the FBG sensor 131.
[0080]
 The temperature detecting unit 100, as shown in FIG. 4, the sensor unit 130 to face the molten steel surface, is installed in the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A. Thus, more reliably, it is possible to estimate the temperature of the molten steel surface.
[0081]
 It has been described construction of the first continuous casting mold 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. According to the continuous casting mold 10 according to the present embodiment, the upper surface of the copper plate constituting the mold 10, open the pores from the underside or side, inserting the temperature sensing unit 100. Temperature detection unit 100, a sensor unit 130 which is formed by inserting the FBG sensor 131 inner diameter below the protective tube 135 0.5 mm, the support member 110 of the copper rod or the like is fixed through the tension member 120 It is formed by.
[0082]
 In this case, the sensor unit 130, by using the tension member 120, to maintain the spaced state from the support member 110, hardly influenced by the heat of the support member 110, it can be temperature measurement with high precision to become. Further, in order to connect or disconnect the sensor unit 130 with respect to the copper plate of the insertion hole of the continuous casting mold 10 together with the supporting member 110, connecting or disconnecting the sensor unit 130 is facilitated, repeatedly it is possible to use the sensor unit 130.
[0083]
 Further, the temperature detecting point of the sensor unit 130, by clamping the sensor portion 130 in the outer surface and the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h of the tension provided portion 122, suppress the temperature detection point of the sensor unit 130 from moving in the insertion hole It can be, in the desired position, it is possible to measure temperature with high accuracy.
[0084]

The protective tube 135A, the vicinity of the distal end portion of 135B is preferably set to the large diameter portion 212.
[0100]
- other than the temperature detecting points
 of the small-diameter portion 214 of the support member 210 which tension member 120 is provided, the sensor unit 130A, at the position other than the temperature detection point P of 130B, as shown in FIG. 15, the sensor unit 130A, 130B is located in a space on the inside of the tension member 120 and the grooves 211, 213. In this case, the sensor unit 130A, 130B do not contact the support member 210, as much as possible apart, first tension section 122 of the tension member 120, so as to contact the inner side of the second tension section 124 It is provided. Thus, the sensor unit 130A, 130B, since less susceptible to heat from the support member 210, it is possible to increase the temperature measurement accuracy, and does not appear to the outside of the groove 211 and 213 by the tension member 120 by being regulated it can be fixed to the support member 210.
[0101]
 Moreover, in this way, the sensor unit 130A, 130B is, in the longitudinal direction is along the grooves 211 and 213, and, as will be described later, is centripetal width center of the groove 211, 213 after insertion into the insertion hole 14h. Thus, a deep (e.g., 400mm) of the case of inserting a temperature detecting portion 200 into the insertion hole 14h is also a sensor unit 130A, 130B, the mounting direction (circumferential direction of the insertion hole) can be determined accurately.
[0102]
Temperature detection points
 of the small-diameter portion 214 of the support member 210 which tension member 120 is provided, the sensor unit 130A, the temperature detection points 130B P, as shown in FIG. 16, the sensor unit 130A, 130B is Zhang located outside of the portion material 120. Before being inserted into the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A, as shown in FIG. 16 left, the protective tube 135A, 135B is first tension section 122 of the tension member 120, so as to contact the outer side of the second tension section 124 It is provided to. Here, the sensor unit 130A, 130B are substantially are straight arranged without flexing in the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 13, the sensor unit 130A, 130B is a temperature detection point P and other portions, by installing through alternately outside and inside the tension member 120, longitudinal It is fixed as knitted into tension member 120 provided at a predetermined position.
[0103]
 In the temperature detection point P, the protective tube 135A, 135B is maintained substantially in a circle shape, respectively. In this state, the maximum length of the temperature detecting portion 200 in the radial direction, i.e., the outer periphery up to the length of the protective tube 135B from the outer periphery of the protective tube 135A is set to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 14h ing.
[0104]
 Sensor unit 130A, the supporting member 210 130B is fixed is inserted into the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A, as shown in FIG. 16 right, the protective tube 135A, 135B, the first tension section 122, second Zhang is pressed against the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h is radially deformed by the portion 124, an elliptical shape. In this manner, by contacting against the temperature detection point P on the inner surface of the insertion hole 14h, the inner surface and the first tension section 122 of the insertion hole 14h, and an outer second tension section 124, the protective tube 135A, 135B of increasing the contact area between the outer peripheral surface, the temperature detection point can be prevented from moving in the insertion hole 14h. The insertion holes 14h and space more likely to position the protective tube 135A near M1 points of maximum of the first tension section 122, (circumferential positions of the insertion hole 14h inner surface) the installation position of the protective tube 135A It is stable. Similarly, the insertion hole 14h and space more likely to position the protective tube 135B in M2 near points of maximum of the second tension section 124, the installation position (circumferential positions of the insertion hole 14h inner surface of the protective tube 135B ) is stable. Therefore, it is possible to securely fix the temperature detection section P in a predetermined position, it is possible to improve the measurement accuracy. Further, similarly to the portions other than the temperature detection point P, the sensor unit 130A, 130B, so are spaced from the support member 210 by the grooves 211 and 213, less susceptible to heat from the support member 210, the temperature measurement accuracy it can be increased. Further FBG sensors 131A, 131B are protective tube 135A, that is provided loosely 135B, FBG sensors 131A, 131B are protective tube 135A, without being affected by the elongation strain of 135B, increasing the temperature measurement accuracy can.
[0105]
 From the opening of the groove 211 to the opening of the opposing grooves 213 length of the support member 210 (hereinafter referred to as "sensor unit width".) Ds is the sensor unit 130A in the large-diameter portion 212, 130B width, Zhang the thickness of the portion member 120, the protective tube 135A, is determined according to the inner diameter of the outer diameter of 135B and the insertion hole 14h,.
[0106]
 The position in the thickness direction (Y direction in FIG. 12) of the protective tube 135A, 135B are in contact with the copper plate 14A is determined by the installation precision in the circumferential direction of the support member 210. That is, necessary for the measurement error is within the allowable range, to calculate the allowable range of positional displacement in the thickness direction of the copper plate 14A, which was converted to the circumferential direction of the deviation, the protective tube 135A, allowance collapse diameter 135B to determine. Thus, FBG sensors 131A, can be a measurement error 131B within a predetermined range, FBG sensors 131A also upon insertion of the temperature sensing unit 200 into the insertion hole 14h, 131B each protective tube 135A, sandwiched 135B it without being fixed, FBG sensors 131A, 131B are protective tube 135A, respectively, while maintaining a loose state to 135B, the protective tube 135A, it is possible to reliably contact with the insertion hole 14h inner surface 135B.
[0107]
 Collapse margin, thus protecting tube 135A, the inner diameter of 135B, as in the first embodiment, is determined by the tolerance for fitting the fiber diameter of the insertion hole 14h and the support member 210. Minute of the difference between the maximum gap and the minimum clearance after fitting (gap deviation), collapse cost varies. Therefore, protection pipes 135A, to contact the stable insertion hole 14h of 135B, the collapse margin is, it is necessary that the gap deviation above. The gap deviation, the fitting tolerance is reduced when a high accuracy can be reduced even collapse margin. From JIS standard or the like, in a generally removable from the following rod outer diameter 4mm (the original material of the support member 210) in the insertion hole 14h is manufactured by the following tolerance 0.048mm in both the bar and the insertion hole 14h it is necessary, the processing cost of the holes and the supporting member is increased when reducing the tolerance. Insertion hole becomes a gap deviation of about 0.1mm when the tolerance of the rod to 0.048 mm, the collapse margin needs to be larger than 0.1mm.
[0108]
 The protective tube 135A, 135B after deformation FBG sensors 131A, 131B are protective tube 135A, in order to be loose from 135B, the inner diameter of FBG sensors 131A,
13 is greater than the sum of the outer diameter and the gap deviation 1B there is a need those. FBG sensors 131A, the outer diameter of the optical fiber for applying a 131B, etc. 0.05 mm ~ 0.15 mm. As described above, when considering the like to suppress an expensive processing costs of the insertion hole 14h and the support member 210, the protective tube 135A, the inner diameter of 135B is, 0.15 mm (when optical fibers 0.05 mm) ~ 0.25 mm ( when the optical fiber 0.15mm) or more is required. And the above points, the protective tube 135A, from the fact that the upper limit of the inner diameter of 135B is 0.5mm, the protective tube 135A, the inner diameter of 135B is required to be 0.15mm or more 0.5mm or less.
[0109]
 Furthermore, the protective tube 135A, it is possible to reduce the heat capacity by reducing the thickness of 135B, also, since can be thermally insulated from the support member 210, FBG sensors 131A, 131B are to conform to the copper plate temperatures at high response be able to. Further, FBG sensors 131A, 131B, as shown in FIG. 8, the protective tube 135A, it is possible to react the copper plate temperature responsive enough that the internal diameter of 135B to 0.5mm or less. Therefore, even if the temperature detection unit 200 according to this embodiment can detect the copper plate temperature with high response using FBG sensors 131A, the 131B.
[0110]
 The temperature detecting unit 200, as shown in FIG. 12, set up a first sensor unit 130A is the molten steel surface, so that the second sensor unit 130B faces the cooling surface side, into the insertion hole 14h of the copper plate 14A It is. Thus, more reliably, it is possible to estimate the temperature of the molten steel surface. Further, the temperature detecting unit 200 according to the present embodiment, since it is possible to make the temperature measured at two points in the radial direction of the support member, the temperature distribution in the thickness direction of the copper plate 14A, that is, to measure the heat flux in the copper plate It becomes possible. Further, it is possible to estimate the temperature of the molten steel surface from two points in the copper plate, it is possible to obtain an accurate temperature of the molten steel surface. Therefore, it is possible to highly accurately measure the molten steel surface temperature of the copper plate 14A (distribution), for the heat flux distribution, conventionally, it could not be determined only macroscopic heat flux averaged copper plate entirely, detailed thermal it is possible to determine the flow velocity distribution. As a result, more detailed process situational awareness, it is possible to process analysis.
