Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022238564A1] In particular, the invention relates to a method for the maintenance of a sliding closure (10) of a molten metal-containing vessel. The sliding closure (10) has a housing (11), a slide unit which is longitudinally guided therein, a mounting (15), a linear drive (12) which can be inserted into the mounting for adjusting the slide unit, and at least one electric line and/or connection line (16, 17, 18) for a medium, such as gas or air. The at least one electric line and/or connection line (16, 17, 18) for the medium is connected by means of a plug-in process. The plug-in process of the at least one connection line (16, 17, 18) is carried out automatically by inserting the linear drive (12) into the mounting (15) and/or the linear drive is released by removing the linear drive out of the mounting (15). Thus, the handling is simplified in particular when performing maintenance on the sliding closure using a robot, and the process stability and operational reliability while casting are increased as well.
