[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0040] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a mill universal joint 2 fixing device includes two clamping assemblies, with clamping plates 5 of the two clamping assemblies forming a clamping position for clamping the mill universal joint 2. Each clamping assembly includes: a mounting base 4, fixedly connected to a mill frame 1; a sliding plate 3, movably connected to the mounting base 4; clamping plates 5, connected to the sliding plate 3; and a driving assembly for driving the sliding plate 3 to move. Figure 1 As shown, the clamping plates 5 of the two clamping assemblies are arranged facing each other, and the two clamping assemblies form a clamping group. Two clamping groups can be installed on a rolling mill, which are used to fix the universal joint 2 of the upper roll and the universal joint 2 of the lower roll of the rolling mill respectively.
[0041] The mounting base 4 has a guide boss 401 arranged along the moving direction of the sliding plate 3, and the sliding plate 3 has a guide groove 301 that matches the guide boss 401. The guide boss 401 is located inside the guide groove 301. The design of the guide boss 401 and the guide groove 301 makes the movement of the sliding plate 3 more stable, and the guide boss 401 provides support for the sliding plate 3.
[0042] The mounting base 4 has a first threaded hole 402, and the sliding plate 3 has a corresponding strip hole 302. The strip hole 302 is set along the moving direction of the sliding plate 3. The strip hole 302 is equipped with a limiting bolt 9, which is threaded through the through hole 601 and connected to the first threaded hole 402. The diameter of the limiting bolt 9 is smaller than the width of the strip hole 302, and there is a gap between the head of the limiting bolt 9 and the sliding plate. The limiting bolt 9 is inside the strip hole 302, which not only limits the movement of the sliding plate 3, but also prevents the guide boss 401 from disengaging from the guide groove 301 along the axis of the universal joint 2.
[0043] A mounting plate 303 is fixed at one end of the guide groove 301 of the sliding plate 3. The mounting plate 303 has a mounting hole, and the clamping plate 5 has a second threaded hole corresponding to the mounting hole. The mounting hole is provided with a connecting bolt 10. The connecting bolt 10 passes through the mounting thread and is connected to the inside of the second threaded hole. The clamping plate 5 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 303 through the connecting bolt 10.
[0044] The end face of the clamping plate 5 near the clamping position is an arc-shaped surface. There are various models of clamping plate 5, and the diameter of the arc-shaped surface of different models of clamping plate 5 is different, which is suitable for rolling mill universal shafts 2 of different diameters, thus improving the applicability of the device.
[0045] The mounting plate 303 has a reinforcing rib 305 fixedly attached to the end face of the clamping plate 5. The driving component is a hydraulic cylinder 7. The housing of the hydraulic cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the guide boss 401, and the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 7 is connected to the reinforcing rib 305. A connecting plate 701 is fixedly attached to the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 7. The connecting plate 701 has a connecting groove 702 that matches the reinforcing rib 305. The reinforcing rib has a first insertion hole 306 corresponding to the connecting plate 701, and the connecting plate 701 has a second insertion hole 703 corresponding to the first insertion hole 306. The insertion rod 8 passes through the second insertion hole 703 and the first insertion hole 306 in sequence, and the insertion rod 8 is set perpendicular to the ground. The setting of the insertion rod 8 facilitates the disassembly of the sliding plate 3 for maintenance.
[0046] The mounting plate 303 has a mounting boss 304 fixed at its lower end, and the clamping plate 5 has a groove 501 at its lower end that corresponds to the mounting boss 304. The mounting boss 304 provides support for the clamping plate 5, reduces the vertical force on the connecting bolts 10, and extends their service life.
[0047] Two mounting grooves 502 are formed on the arc-shaped surface of the clamping plate 5. The mounting grooves 502 are arranged along the axis of the universal joint 2. The mounting grooves 502 are provided with a pad 6, which is detachably connected to the clamping plate 5 by mounting bolts; (e.g.) Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, where point a indicates the position of the axis of universal joint 2, one pad 6 is located above the axis of universal joint 2, and the other pad 6 is located below the axis of universal joint 2. The pad 6 is a structural component made of copper, which can prevent scratches on the surface of universal joint 2.
[0048] The lower pad 6 provides support, while the upper pad 6 acts as a limiter to prevent the universal joint 2 from shaking.
[0049] The bottom of the mounting slot 502 has a third threaded hole 503, and the pad 6 has a through hole 601 corresponding to the mounting threaded hole. The mounting bolt passes through the through hole 601 and is threaded to the inside of the third threaded hole 503.
[0050] Work process:
[0051] When this solution is implemented, when the roll needs to be disassembled, the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 7 extends, driving the sliding plate 3 to move. The pad 6 contacts the side wall of the universal joint 2 to fix the universal joint 2. After the roll is replaced, the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 7 retracts to release the fixation. Compared with the traditional frame-type fixing device, the maintenance is more convenient by setting two clamping components. The clamping components on one side can be repaired separately. Moreover, the structure is simpler and less prone to deformation, resulting in a lower failure rate.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
