Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of furnaces in which charge is mechanically moved therein, and more particularly to an ultra-dense roll pitch roll group device for a roller hearth furnace and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] A roller hearth furnace, also known as a roller hearth heat treatment furnace, is generally used for annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering of steel plates, steel pipes, sections and wire rods. During use, the roller hearth furnace realizes the transfer of the steel charge to be heated in the furnace through the furnace rolls and their driving devices. The roll pitch of the furnace rolls of the roller hearth furnace needs to be calculated according to the size, weight, maximum furnace temperature of the steel charge, as well as the selected furnace roll material and furnace roll outer diameter. When the roll pitch is too large, the cantilever length at the end of the steel charge is long, and the deflection is large at high temperature, which easily collides with the furnace rolls and affects the smooth passage of the steel charge, and in some cases, it even penetrates under the furnace rolls, affecting production; when the roll pitch is too small, the number of furnace rolls is large, increasing the investment, and at the same time, the roll pitch is also limited by the outer dimensions of the bearing seats, sprockets, etc.

[0003] At present, the installation and arrangement of the furnace rolls of a conventional roller hearth furnace are generally as follows: the furnace rolls are used to support and transfer the steel charge to be heated in the furnace, each furnace roll is supported by a fixed-end bearing seat and a free-end bearing seat respectively, each furnace roll rotates under the drive of a drive sprocket, the fixed-end bearing seats and free-end bearing seats on both sides are fixedly installed on the furnace shell steel structure respectively, and the furnace shell steel structure is also used to support the furnace wall at the same time. The fixed-end bearing seat and the free-end bearing seat also have strict airtightness to prevent the furnace atmosphere from overflowing. Each furnace roll is evenly arranged in the furnace length direction, and its roll pitch meets the relevant process requirements of the roller hearth furnace.

[0004] For small roller hearth furnaces or experimental roller hearth furnaces, the designed size of the furnace chamber is small, and the size and weight of the steel charge to be heated are also small, but the heating process requirements (such as heating temperature, etc.) of the furnace are the same as those of a conventional roller hearth furnace. The roll diameter of the furnace rolls of this kind of roller hearth furnace is small, and the roll pitch calculated according to the heating process requirements is also very small. It is impossible to achieve the form of the furnace rolls and the drive device of a conventional roller hearth furnace. The main reasons are as follows: 1. The conventional furnace roll bearing seats use rolling bearings, and the bearing seats also need to consider the sealing performance and cooling structure (including water cooling chambers, cooling fins, etc.), and the size of the bearing seats is relatively large. If the roll pitch of the furnace rolls is too small, it will cause interference between adjacent bearing seats; 2. Both sides of the furnace rolls need to pass through the furnace wall. If the roll pitch of the furnace rolls is too small, it will cause the furnace wall openings to be too dense. On the one hand, it will affect the airtightness of the furnace wall, and on the other hand, it is very difficult to design the heat insulation structure at the position where the furnace roll shaft passes through the furnace wall; 3. If the roll pitch of the furnace rolls is too small, it will cause interference between adjacent drive sprockets. Summary of the Invention

The specific structure is:

[0057] The drive sprockets 705 within the opening of the drive end support plate 701 are arranged in two rows front and back. Adjacent drive sprockets 705 are staggered. Two drive sprockets 705 with one drive sprocket 705 in between are located on the same transmission line. On one side of the drive group, two tension sprockets 707 are rotatably provided on the vertical plate of the drive end support plate 701 of the furnace roll 5 through the same sprocket shaft. Each tension sprocket 707 is respectively arranged on the transmission line where one row of drive sprockets 705 is located. On the other side of the drive group, two drive sprockets 708 are rotatably provided on the vertical plate of the drive end support plate 701 of the furnace roll 5 through the same sprocket shaft. Each drive sprocket 708 is respectively arranged on the transmission line where one row of drive sprockets 705 is located. Two chains 709 are respectively wound around the tension sprockets 707, each drive sprocket 705, and drive sprockets 708 on each of the said transmission lines in sequence.

[0058] All other structures are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0060] Under normal circumstances, the drive sprockets 705, tension sprockets 707, and drive sprockets 708 all use single-row sprockets, and the chain 709 uses a single-row chain. However, in some extreme cases, due to the small roll pitch of the furnace roll 5, there is interference between adjacent drive sprockets 705.
