Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to metallurgical equipment, and more particularly to an online repair device and method for oxide film peeling off the surface of hot rolling work rolls. Background Technology

[0002] After a period of rolling, hot rolling mills commonly experience surface fatigue and frictional wear, leading to localized oxide film detachment and the formation of micro-cracks. These surface defects ultimately affect the surface quality of the steel strip, increasing the frequency of roll changes and grinding, reducing rolling load, and raising production costs. CN212238624U discloses a hot-rolled thin plate work roll cooling system that reduces the roll temperature, especially the roll surface temperature in the rolling deformation zone, by spraying cooling onto the hot-rolled work rolls. This reduces oxide film detachment and extends roll life. CN110280605A discloses a method for reducing the oxide film peeling rate of rolling mill rolls. The method controls the temperature fluctuation range of the rolled material along its entire length to be ≤10℃, and controls the target temperature difference between the rolling materials in the same batch to be <20℃, the time difference in the furnace to be <10min, the temperature difference between RT2 temperature and final rolling temperature to be <150℃ during rough rolling, the inlet temperature to be <1050℃ during finish rolling, and the temperature difference between the edge and middle of the roll to be <20℃ during cooling and after leaving the mill, and the temperature of the highest point of the roll after leaving the mill to be ≤60℃.

[0012] Specifically, the heated rolling assembly includes:

[0013] The rolling rolls are provided in pairs. Each rolling roll is installed in the equipment frame through a rotating shaft and connected to the drive mechanism.

It corresponds to the position of the heating and rolling assembly and cooperates with the image acquisition assembly. The heating film forming assembly can heat the heating and rolling assembly and form an oxide film based on the oxide film peeling image.

[0040] In this embodiment, the heating and rolling assembly includes rolling rolls 1a and 1b. Each rolling roll is installed in the equipment frame via a rotating shaft and connected to the drive mechanism. A roll gap adapted to the shape of the strip is formed between the rolling rolls. The rolling rolls are rotated by the drive mechanism to perform rolling operation on the strip, so that the steel plate 2 to be processed is squeezed to form a steel strip 8.

[0041] The transverse drive assembly includes a drive screw 210 and a drive motor 220. The drive screw is mounted in the equipment frame via bearings and can rotate in the equipment frame. It is located outside the rolling roll body and is parallel to the rolling roll body. The drive motor is mounted in the equipment frame, and its power output shaft is connected to the drive screw, which drives the drive screw to rotate.

[0042] The transfer bearing assembly includes bearing housings 6a and 6b. The bearing housing is installed in the equipment frame via a slide rail parallel to the drive screw and is engaged with the drive screw via a transmission nut. The drive motor can rotate in both directions, causing the drive screw to drive the bearing housing to move back and forth.

[0043] The cooling system includes cold water inlet pipes 5a and 5b and cold water nozzles 7a and 7b. The cold water inlet pipes are installed on the support housing and can move with the support housing. They are connected to the cold water chamber located inside the support housing and to the cold water supply equipment. The cold water supply equipment can supply cold water to the cold water chamber through the cold water inlet pipes. The cold water nozzles are installed on the support housing and can move with the support housing.

[0044] The image acquisition component includes industrial cameras 4a and 4b. The industrial cameras are mounted on the carrier housing and can move with the carrier housing.

They point towards the outer wall of the rolling roll body. According to the oxide film peeling position determined by the industrial camera, the film-forming heaters heat the outer wall of the rolling roll body to repair the oxide film peeling position.

[0046] The film-forming heater is a non-contact heater, which can be a laser heater or an electromagnetic induction heater. A laser heater uses a laser as a heat source to irradiate the surface of the rolling roll, and in conjunction with cooling water, regenerates an oxide film on the rolling roll surface in the oxide film peeling area. An electromagnetic induction heater utilizes the skin effect of high-frequency induced current to generate high temperatures in the defective area of ​​the work roll, which, in conjunction with cooling water, produces a new oxide film. Due to the larger size of the electromagnetic induction heater, a laser heater is selected in this embodiment.

[0047] An online repair method for oxide film peeling off the surface of hot-rolled work rolls, using the aforementioned repair device, includes:

[0048] After the strip rolling is completed, adjust the speed of the rolling rolls to 10-30 revolutions per minute and adjust the pressure of the cold water nozzles to below 0.2 MPa;

[0049] Start the drive motor to drive the drive screw to move, causing the carrier box to move, which in turn moves the cold water nozzle, industrial camera and film-forming heater to the repair position of the rolling roll;

[0050] The distance between the industrial camera and the outer wall of the rolling roll is set to 15cm to 25cm. Its static detection range is a square area no larger than 10mm×20mm. It can identify oxide film peeling surfaces smaller than 4mm×4mm. It is connected to the computer through a signal line. As the industrial camera moves with the carrier box, the detected images are stitched together in the computer to form an overall surface image of the rolling roll.

[0051] Based on the location of oxide film peeling determined by the industrial camera, the outer wall of the rolling roll is heated by the film-forming heater to repair the peeling location of the oxide film.

[0052] The industrial camera and film-forming heater are mounted on the support box via a deflection shaft, and a deflection motor 610 or a pneumatic motor is provided to drive their deflection. The deflection angle is 10° to 45°. In this embodiment, the rolling roll body is divided into a support roll and a working roll. The diameter of the support roll ranges from 600 to 1500 mm, and the diameter of the working roll ranges from 400 to 900 mm. When the support roll and working roll with the smallest diameter are combined, or when the working roll and support roll with the largest diameter are combined, the industrial camera is far from or close to the surface of the support roll. At this time, the deflection motor or pneumatic motor can be used to drive the industrial camera to deflect, so that the industrial camera can get closer to the surface of the rolling roll body, keep its focal length fixed, and avoid interference with the rolling roll body.

[0053] The heating range of the film-forming heater is no greater than 2mm×2mm. During the heating process, the moving speed of the drive screw is 50% of the detection speed of the industrial camera.
