[0002] In a 20-high rolling mill, the work rolls are two oppositely arranged upper rolls and lower rolls, each end of the work rolls is provided with a limiting bearing, the axial direction of the limiting bearing is arranged vertically, and the upper peripheral surface of the limiting bearing is in contact with the end surface of the upper roll, and the lower peripheral surface of the limiting bearing is in contact with the end surface of the lower roll, so as to limit the axial displacement of the work rolls through the two limiting bearings.

[0003] However, in the operation process of the 20-high rolling mill, the limiting bearing is mainly subjected to the eccentric load of the upper roll and the lower roll, and especially when the rolling mill is performing plate shape adjustment, the roll shifting adjustment will be frequently performed, and the work rolls will also be extruded against the limiting bearing due to the bearing of the inter-roll friction force. Thus, the limiting bearing is prone to damage, the service life of the limiting bearing is relatively short, which is far lower than the designed service life of 500 hours, the limiting bearing is damaged before reaching the theoretical service life, and the production efficiency of the 20-high rolling mill is affected. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to at least solve the technical problem that the limiting bearings at both ends of the 20-high rolling mill are prone to damage and have a relatively short service life. To this end, the application provides a rolling mill.

[0005] The technical scheme of the application is as follows:

[0006] The application provides a rolling mill, which comprises:

[0007] an upper roll;

[0008] a lower roll, which is oppositely arranged with the upper roll;

[0009] two limiting bearings, which are arranged at both ends of the upper roll and the lower roll, and the same end of the upper roll and the lower roll is connected with the peripheral surface of the same limiting bearing;

[0010] a fixed shaft, the limiting bearing is sleeved on the fixed shaft, and the first interval is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the axial end of the inner ring of the limiting bearing and the peripheral surface of the fixed shaft.

[0011] In some embodiments, the width of the first interval is 0.05mm-0.15mm.

[0012] In some embodiments, the fixed shaft is provided with a relief groove, and the inner wall of the relief groove and the inner peripheral surface of the axial end of the inner ring of the limiting bearing form the first interval.

[0013] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the avoiding groove is inclined towards the axis of the fixing shaft.

[0014] In some embodiments, the inner periphery surface of the inner ring of the limiting bearing at both axial ends has the first spacing with the peripheral surface of the fixing shaft.

[0015] In some embodiments, the fixing shaft comprises a shaft body and limiting parts arranged at both ends of the shaft body, the limiting bearing is sleeved on the shaft body, and the limiting bearing is arranged between the two limiting parts, wherein the second spacing is between the end of the limiting bearing and the limiting part.

[0016] In some embodiments, the rolling mill further comprises a support, the limiting bearing is connected to the support through the fixing shaft, and the support is fixedly connected to the frame of the rolling mill.

[0017] In some embodiments, the fixing shaft comprises a shaft body and limiting parts arranged at both ends of the shaft body, the shaft body is connected to the inner ring, and the limiting bearing is arranged between the two limiting parts.

[0018] The support comprises two support parts arranged at intervals, the limiting bearing is arranged between the two support parts, the shaft body is arranged on the two support parts, and the limiting part is connected to the corresponding support part.

[0019] In some embodiments, the rolling mill further comprises a buffer connected between the support and the frame.

[0020] In some embodiments, the rolling mill further comprises a lubricating device arranged corresponding to the limiting bearing.

[0021] The embodiments of the present application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The rolling mill proposed in this application comprises two opposing upper and lower rolls. To limit the axial displacement of the work rolls, limit bearings are installed at both ends of the work rolls. The outer circumferential surface of the limit bearing at one end of the work roll is connected to the end faces of both the upper and lower rolls, thereby limiting the axial displacement of the work rolls. The limit bearings are sleeved on a fixed shaft for fixed installation. During the operation of the rolling mill, the upper and lower rolls alternately or simultaneously apply eccentric loads to the limit bearings. For example, when the upper roll primarily applies force to the limit bearing, the end of the inner ring of the limit bearing connected axially to the upper roll will be pressed against the fixed shaft, causing stress concentration at the upper axial end of the bearing's inner ring and resulting in damage. Therefore, a first gap is set between the inner circumferential surface of the inner ring at the axial end and the circumferential surface of the fixed shaft. This allows for a certain amount of movement between the inner circumferential surface of the inner ring at the axial end and the circumferential surface of the fixed shaft when the upper and lower rolls of the work roll apply force to the limit bearing. This reduces stress concentration at the axial end of the inner ring, thereby preventing damage to the limit bearing, extending its service life, and improving the production efficiency of the rolling mill.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] In addition, the reference numbers and / or reference letters can be repeated in different examples in the present application, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0033] The present application will be described below in combination with the drawings and with reference to specific embodiments:

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The embodiments of the present application provide a rolling mill, which combines Figure 1 The rolling mill comprises an upper roller 100, a lower roller 200, a limiting bearing 300 and a fixed shaft 400.

[0035] The upper roller 100 in the embodiments of the present application is arranged opposite to the lower roller 200, two limiting bearings 300 are arranged at two ends of the upper roller 100 and the lower roller 200 respectively, the same end of the upper roller 100 and the lower roller 200 is connected with the peripheral surface of the same limiting bearing 300, the limiting bearing 300 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 400, and the first interval is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the end part of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 in the axial direction and the peripheral surface of the fixed shaft 400.

[0036] Specifically, since the work roll is composed of the upper roll 100 and the lower roll 200 arranged oppositely, in order to limit the axial displacement of the work roll, the limiting bearing 300 is arranged at both ends of the work roll, and the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring 320 of the limiting bearing 300 arranged at one end of the work roll is connected with the end surface of the upper roll 100 and the end surface of the lower roll 200 at the same time, so as to limit the axial displacement of the work roll through the limiting bearing 300. The inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 400, so as to realize the fixed arrangement of the limiting bearing 300 through the fixed shaft 400. During the operation of the rolling mill, the upper roll 100 and the lower roll 200 of the work roll will alternately or simultaneously exert a biasing force on the limiting bearing 300. For example, when the upper roll 100 mainly exerts a force on the limiting bearing 300, the upper end of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 in the axial direction will be extruded with the fixed shaft 400, so as to cause stress concentration at the upper end of the inner ring 310 in the axial direction and cause damage. Therefore, the first spacing is arranged between the inner circumferential surface of the end portion of the inner ring 310 in the axial direction and the circumferential surface of the fixed shaft 400, so that when the upper roll 100 and the lower roll 200 of the work roll exert a force on the limiting bearing 300, the inner circumferential surface of the end portion of the inner ring 310 in the axial direction of the limiting bearing 300 has a certain space with the circumferential surface of the fixed shaft 400, so as to reduce the stress concentration at the end portion of the inner ring 310 in the axial direction, thereby avoiding the damage of the limiting bearing 300, prolonging the service life of the limiting bearing 300, and improving the production efficiency of the rolling mill.

[0037] In some embodiments, the rolling mill can be a twelve-high rolling mill, an eighteen-high rolling mill, a twenty-high rolling mill, etc., and the present application is not limited thereto. In the present application, the rolling mill is a twenty-high rolling mill. Correspondingly, the axial direction of the limiting bearing 300 is usually arranged in the vertical direction.

[0038] In some embodiments, the width of the first spacing is 0.05mm-0.15mm, so as to ensure the use efficiency of the limiting bearing 300 by arranging the first spacing in the width range. Avoiding that the first spacing is too small, so as to effectively reduce the stress concentration at the end portion of the inner ring 310 in the axial direction of the limiting bearing 300. And avoiding that the second spacing is too large, so as to affect the strength of the fixed shaft 400.

[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the first spacing is arranged between the inner circumferential surface of the end portion of the inner ring 310 in the axial direction and the circumferential surface of the fixed shaft 400. Figures 2-5The fixed shaft 400 is provided with the avoiding groove 411, and the inner wall of the avoiding groove 411 and the inner periphery surface of the axial end of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 form a first interval. By opening the avoiding groove 411 on the fixed shaft 400, the technical effect that the inner periphery surface of the axial end of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 and the peripheral surface of the fixed shaft 400 have a first interval is realized. In the operation process of the rolling mill, the limiting bearing 300 is an industrial consumable, and needs to be replaced after a certain use time. The service life of the fixed shaft 400 is much longer than that of the limiting bearing 300, so the avoiding groove 411 is opened on the fixed shaft 400. In addition, the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 is usually provided with a chamfer, which can play a role in reducing stress concentration.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The bottom wall of the avoiding groove 411 is inclined towards the axis of the fixed shaft 400. From the fixed shaft 400, the diameter of the part of the avoiding groove 411 on the fixed shaft 400 decreases from the center to the end, so as to fit the deformation of the axial two ends of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300. In addition, the wall surface of the avoiding groove 411 is smooth and avoids stress concentration on the fixed shaft 400, which reduces the strength of the fixed shaft 400.

[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The inner periphery surface of the axial two ends of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 and the peripheral surface of the fixed shaft 400 have a first interval. In actual setting, the avoiding groove 411 can be arranged at one end of the fixed shaft 400, or at both ends of the fixed shaft 400, which needs to be determined according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. In the embodiments of the present application, the rolling mill is a twenty-roll rolling mill, and the axial two ends of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 will be subjected to the force of the upper roller 100 and the lower roller 200 respectively. Therefore, the inner periphery surface of the axial two ends of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 and the peripheral surface of the fixed shaft 400 need to have a first interval, that is, the avoiding groove 411 is arranged at both ends of the fixed shaft 400.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The fixed shaft 400 includes a shaft body 410 and a limiting portion 420, the two ends of the shaft body 410 are provided with the limiting portion 420, the limiting bearing 300 is sleeved on the shaft body 410, and the limiting bearing 300 is arranged between the two limiting portions 420, wherein the second interval is between the end of the limiting bearing 300 and the limiting portion 420. By the second interval, the deformation amount of the inner ring 310 of the limiting bearing 300 when subjected to the force is further satisfied, so as to further avoid damage to the limiting bearing 300.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The rolling mill further comprises a support 500, and the limiting bearing 300 is connected to the support 500 through the fixing shaft 400. The support 500 is fixedly connected to the frame 800 of the rolling mill, so that the limiting bearing 300 is fixed to the frame 800 of the rolling mill through the support 500.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The support 500 is provided with a position precision measurement surface 530. When the limiting bearing 300 is installed and debugged, the height of the support 500 is measured through the position precision measurement surface 530 of the support 500 by using a total station, so that the center height of the support 500 is adjusted to 1102±0.5mm and the bidirectional level is within 0.1mm / m.

[0045] In some embodiments, as described above, the fixing shaft 400 comprises a shaft body 410 and limiting portions 420 arranged at both ends of the shaft body 410. The limiting bearing 300 is sleeved on the shaft body 410, and the limiting bearing 300 is arranged between the two limiting portions 420.

Further, one limiting portion 420 can be fixedly connected to the shaft body 410, and the other limiting portion 420 can be detachably connected to the shaft body 410, so as to arrange the limiting bearing 300 between the two support portions 510 of the support 500, arrange the shaft body 410 on the support portions 510 and the limiting bearing 300, and then connect the detachable limiting portion 420 to the shaft body 410, so as to fix the limiting bearing 300 on the support 500, and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the limiting bearing 300 on the support 500. It should be noted that the limiting portion 420 detachably connected to the shaft body 410 can be connected to the shaft body 410 by screwing, clamping or other connection methods, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the limiting portion 420 detachably connected to the shaft body 410 is connected to the shaft body 410 by screwing.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the rolling mill further comprises a buffer 600 connected between the support 500 and a frame 800 of the rolling mill, so as to buffer the force borne by the limiting bearing 300 through the buffer 600, to avoid damage to the limiting bearing 300. The support 500 further comprises a fixing portion 520 arranged opposite to the supporting portion 510, and the fixing portion 520 of the support 500 is connected with the buffer 600. In the embodiment of the present application, the buffer 600 is integrally arranged on the fixing portion 520 of the support 500.
