Abstract

A molten metal holding container 1 includes an extraction outer pipe 12 , an extraction inner pipe 13 and a load receiving part 7 including a first protrusion 7 a protruding from an outer circumference of the inner pipe 3 in the horizontal direction and a second protrusion 7 b protruding from an inner circumference of the outer pipe 2 in the horizontal direction so as to be opposed to the first protrusion 7 a in a vertical direction, the second protrusion 7 b being configured to receive a load of the inner pipe 3 through the first protrusion 7 a , in which a vertical position of the load receiving part 7 coincides with a vertical position of a central axis of the extraction inner pipe 13.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A molten metal holding container comprising an outer wall having a bottom at a lower end in a vertical direction, and an inner wall having a bottom at a lower end in the vertical direction, the inner wall being disposed inside the outer wall, in which a depressurized first sealed space is formed between the outer wall and the inner wall, and the molten metal holding container is configured to contain molten metal inside the inner wall, and wherein
the molten metal holding container further comprises:
an extraction outer pipe extending from the outer wall in a horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction outer pipe being connected to a space inside the outer wall;
an extraction inner pipe for extracting the molten metal from inside the inner wall, the extraction inner pipe being disposed inside the extraction outer pipe and extending from the inner wall in the horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction inner pipe being connected to a space inside the inner wall; and
a load receiving part including a first protrusion protruding from an outer circumference of the inner wall in the horizontal direction and a second protrusion protruding from an inner circumference of the outer wall in the horizontal direction so as to be opposed to the first protrusion in a vertical direction, wherein the first protrusion does not directly contact the outer wall and the second protrusion does not directly contact the inner wall, and the second protrusion being configured to receive a load of the inner wall through the first protrusion,

a depressurized second sealed space is formed between the extraction outer pipe and the extraction inner pipe, the second sealed spaced being connected to the first sealed space, and
a vertical position of a vertically lower-side surface of the first protrusion supported by the outer wall through the second protrusion coincides with a vertical position of a central axis of the extraction inner pipe.

2. A molten metal holding container comprising an outer wall having a bottom at a lower end in a vertical direction, and an inner wall having a bottom at a lower end in the vertical direction, the inner wall being disposed inside the outer wall, in which a depressurized first sealed space is formed between the outer wall and the inner wall, and the molten metal holding container is configured to contain molten metal inside the inner wall, and wherein
the molten metal holding container further comprises:
an extraction outer pipe extending from the outer wall in a horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction outer pipe being connected to a space inside the outer wall;
an extraction inner pipe for extracting the molten metal from inside the inner wall, the extraction inner pipe being disposed inside the extraction outer pipe and extending from the inner wall in the horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction inner pipe being connected to a space inside the inner wall; and
a load receiving part including a first protrusion protruding from an outer circumference of the inner wall in the horizontal direction and a second protrusion protruding from an inner circumference of the outer wall in the horizontal direction so as to be opposed to the first protrusion in a vertical direction, the second protrusion being configured to receive a load of the inner wall through the first protrusion,

a depressurized second sealed space is formed between the extraction outer pipe and the extraction inner pipe, the second sealed spaced being connected to the first sealed space, and
a vertical position of a vertically lower-side surface of the first protrusion supported by the outer wall through the second protrusion coincides with a vertical position of a central axis of the extraction inner pipe,
wherein an insertion member formed of a material having a thermal conductivity lower than that of the outer wall and the inner wall is inserted between the first and second protrusions.

3. A molten metal holding container comprising an outer wall having a bottom at a lower end in a vertical direction, and an inner wall having a bottom at a lower end in the vertical direction, the inner wall being disposed inside the outer wall, in which a depressurized first scaled space is formed between the outer wall and the inner wall, and the molten metal holding container is configured to contain molten metal inside the inner wall, and wherein
the molten metal holding container further comprises:
an extraction outer pipe extending from the outer wall in a horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction outer pipe being connected to a space inside the outer wall;
an extraction inner pipe for extracting the molten metal from inside the inner wall, the extraction inner pipe being disposed inside the extraction outer pipe and extending from the inner wall in the horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction inner pipe being connected to a space inside the inner wall; and
a load receiving part including a first protrusion protruding from an outer circumference of the inner wall in the horizontal direction and a second protrusion protruding from an inner circumference of the outer wall in the horizontal direction so as to be opposed to the first protrusion in a vertical direction, the second protrusion being configured to receive a load of the inner wall through the first protrusion,

a depressurized second sealed space is formed between the extraction outer pipe and the extraction inner pipe, the second sealed spaced being connected to the first sealed space, and
a vertical position of a vertically lower-side surface of the first protrusion supported by the outer wall through the second protrusion coincides with a vertical position of a central axis of the extraction inner pipe,
wherein an upper end of the outer wall in the vertical direction and an upper end of the inner wall in the vertical direction are connected to each other through a bellows.

4. A molten metal holding container comprising an outer wall having a bottom at a lower end in a vertical direction, and an inner wall having a bottom at a lower end in the vertical direction, the inner wall being disposed inside the outer wall, in which a depressurized first sealed space is formed between the outer wall and the inner wall, and the molten metal holding container is configured to contain molten metal inside the inner wall, and wherein
the molten metal holding container further comprises:
an extraction outer pipe extending from the outer wall in a horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction outer pipe being connected to a space inside the outer wall;
an extraction inner pipe for extracting the molten metal from inside the inner wall, the extraction inner pipe being disposed inside the extraction outer pipe and extending from the inner wall in the horizontal direction, a space inside the extraction inner pipe being connected to a space inside the inner wall; and
a load receiving part including a first protrusion protruding from an outer circumference of the inner wall in the horizontal direction and a second protrusion protruding from an inner circumference of the outer wall in the horizontal direction so as to be opposed to the first protrusion in a vertical direction, the second protrusion being configured to receive a load of the inner wall through the first protrusion,
