Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for replacing backup rolls of a hot rolling coiled sheet finishing mill and a method for replacing the same, belonging to the technical field of hot rolling coiled sheet finishing mill equipment in the metallurgical industry. Background Art

[0002] The hot rolling coiled sheet finishing mill is a four-high rolling mill, including two work rolls and two backup rolls. The two backup rolls are respectively located above and below the two work rolls, and a cover plate is provided above the lower backup roll. After the finishing mill has rolled for a certain period of time, it is necessary to inspect, repair, and replace the backup rolls. The inspection of the backup rolls includes surface quality, roll diameter, roundness, curve deviation, etc. When inspecting, repairing, and replacing the backup rolls, it is necessary to first disassemble the two backup rolls from the rolling mill housing, and then reinstall them onto the rolling mill housing after repair.

[0003] Currently, there is no dedicated replacement device for the backup rolls. The replacement mainly adopts the method of hoisting and transporting with an electric fixture. The specific roll-changing process includes: lifting the cover plate, pushing out the lower backup roll horizontally from the rolling mill housing using a hydraulic cylinder, and then transporting the lower backup roll to a designated position using an electric fixture; then dropping the upper backup roll from above the rolling mill housing to the bottom of the housing, and then pushing out the upper backup roll using a hydraulic cylinder and transporting the lower backup roll to a designated position using an electric fixture. Each step requires alignment and replacement of the hoisting device, and the backup rolls need to be transported multiple times using an electric fixture, resulting in a high failure rate of the electric fixture. There are multiple stands of the same finishing mill, which takes a long time, and there are unsafe factors such as falling objects hitting people and high-altitude falls during operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for replacing backup rolls of a hot rolling coiled sheet finishing mill and a method for replacing the same, which is convenient for disassembling, installing, and transporting the backup rolls of the finishing mill, safe and reliable, improves work efficiency, and solves the problems in the background art.
