Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of strip rolling, and particularly relates to a connection structure and method between an expandable bladder and a tension roll for a variable tension roll system. Background Art

[0002] Tension is one of the most direct and effective control means for shape control. Giving full play to the regulating ability of tension on shape is an important direction for deeply exploring the rolling shape control efficiency. Different types of rolling mills have different control abilities and effects on the transverse flatness of the strip. Most of them control the strip shape by adjusting the bending force of different rolls, the transverse shifting of intermediate rolls, tilting rolls, segmented cooling, high-tension rolling, etc. However, the effects of bending force and roll shifting on shape control are mainly reflected at the edges. Tilting rolls mainly control the shape wedge. Segmented cooling mainly controls high-order waviness and belongs to a near-steady-state regulation process with poor real-time performance. High tension is beneficial to reducing the rolling force but has poor fine control ability for local strip shape. Therefore, the scope of action of each shape control means in the strip width direction is limited. Moreover, under the limitations of rolling and subsequent heat treatment control processes, with a certain shape control target, for strips with high requirements for cross-sectional profile regulation such as silicon steel and DI materials, the strip cross-sectional profile control develops from traditional center cross-sectional convexity control to edge thinning control. The coupling phenomenon of flatness and cross-sectional profile regulation is very likely to occur during the production process. Especially when conventional cold rolling develops towards extremely thin rolling, the demand for new shape control means becomes more and more urgent.

[0003] The tension roll system for axial variable tension rolling controls the pressure in each expandable bladder through a control valve group to apply different supporting forces along the axis of the tension roll, thereby constructing different tensile stresses in the strip width direction. It can be used as a coiling guide roll, a tension roll group, a tension measuring roll, and an inter-stand loop roll. While meeting the process requirements, it constructs different supporting reaction forces for the strip to achieve variable tension rolling in the strip width direction during the rolling process, improves the control ability and flexibility of tension on shape, provides a more powerful shape control means for high-precision strip rolling, and is beneficial to improving the quality of strip materials. The tension roll system for axial variable tension rolling includes two core parts: a tension roll mandrel and an expandable bladder. Since the expandable bladder is coated on the outer surface of the tension roll mandrel and there are an oil inlet and an oil return port, how to achieve reliable connection and disassembly between the tension roll mandrel and the expandable bladder is one of the key technologies in the manufacture of the tension roll system. Summary of the Invention

A connection method between an expandable bladder and a tension roller for a variable tension roller system according to claim 9, characterized in that: In the step S2, a expandable bladder connection section installer (4) is used to connect the quick-change joint sliding sleeve (304), and then the expandable bladder connection section and the tension roller mandrel connection section are connected. The expandable bladder connection section installer (4) includes a "Y"-shaped mounting arm (402) and sliding sleeve claws (401) vertically connected to both sides of the "Y"-shaped end of the mounting arm (402). The specific process is as follows: The sliding sleeve claws (401) are sleeved into the round holes (317) on the quick-change joint sliding sleeve (304), and by lifting the mounting arm (402), the axial movement of the quick-change joint sliding sleeve (304) is controlled.
