Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel rolling, in particular to an auxiliary feeding and automatic centering device for short slab rolling. BACKGROUND

[0002] The auxiliary feeding and automatic centering device applied to the inlet or outlet of a rolling mill generally consists of a process roller, an auxiliary roller, a pinch roll, a guide device and the like, which together realize accurate feeding of the blank and cooperate with the rolling mill to perform rolling (including reciprocating rolling). When the rolls are changed, the auxiliary roller is withdrawn from the rolling line, and the process roller is withdrawn from the rolling mill window, so that the work roll system is moved out of the rolling mill.

[0003] The cold rolling special steel production line usually rolls short blanks of 600-1000 mm, which cannot establish tension, resulting in difficulty in biting the steel of the rolling mill and smooth rolling. At present, the artificial assisted feeding mode is mostly used, which is high in labor intensity, high in danger and low in production efficiency. Even if the feeding is performed by increasing the line speed of the front and rear work rollers to increase the inertia of the blank at the inlet of the rolling mill, there are still problems such as failure to bite the steel smoothly or unqualified rolling product specifications.

[0004] The Chinese patent application with the application number 201811086772.6 discloses a "frame roller for conveying short blanks by a metal plate rolling mill", which comprises left and right bearing seats, first to sixth flower rollers, first to sixth main gears and first to fifth transmission gears mounted on the left and right mill frames. The structure is that the first to sixth flower rollers are respectively and sequentially installed in the bearing holes in the left and right bearing seats, the left ends of the first to sixth flower rollers are respectively and sequentially provided with the first to sixth main gears, the first to fifth transmission gears are respectively and sequentially installed in the left bearing seat and respectively and sequentially meshed with the first to sixth main gears, and the right end of the first flower roller is connected with the motor through a transmission shaft and a coupling. For the case of rolling short blanks (the shortest blank length is 350 mm), when the short blanks need to be conveyed, the motor is started to drive the first flower roller and the first main gear to rotate, further driving each transmission gear and the main gear and each flower roller to rotate alternately, so as to achieve the purpose of conveying the short blanks. However, the fixed installation mode is not conducive to roll changing operation.

[0005] Under normal circumstances, there are two installation modes of the pinch roll of the rolling mill, one is to fix the pinch roll by opening a pinch roll installation hole in the rolling mill frame, which will seriously weaken the strength of the rolling mill frame; the other is to set the pinch roll of the rolling mill far away from the rolling line, but it cannot play a pinch role for short blanks and there is a problem of poor clamping for long blanks, which further affects the rolling quality. At the same time, due to structural limitations, the fixed guide plates are arranged in the rolling mill frame in the past, the opening degree of the roller cannot be adjusted in real time, and the position accuracy of the blank entering the rolling mill cannot be guaranteed.

[0045] As shown in Figure 1 As shown in

[0046] As shown in Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the process roller table 2 is used for single-plate slab rolling, the variable frequency reduction motor drives the sprocket, which drives the roller on the roller table to rotate to transport the slab through the chain transmission, and at the same time, the centering device 4 is used to prevent the plate from "running off", and the pinch roll device 5 is used for auxiliary steel feeding.

[0047] The process roller table 2 is arranged at the entrance side of the roller, and during production, the process roller table 2 is pushed into the rolling working position in the rolling mill stand 1 under the action of the moving hydraulic cylinder 24, and the process roller table 2 is as close as possible to the working roller of the rolling mill, which can be used as a stand roller. When changing the roller, the process roller table 2 is pushed out of the rolling mill stand 1 under the action of the moving hydraulic cylinder 24, leaving space for changing the roller; at the same time, the roller changing guide rail 21 on the process roller table 2 is connected with the roller changing guide rail installed on the rolling mill stand 1, forming a complete roller changing track.

[0048] As shown in Figures 3-5 As shown in the figure, the process roller table 2 is composed of a roller changing guide rail 21, a roller assembly one 22, a supporting seat 23, a moving hydraulic cylinder 24, a roller table frame one 25, a base 26, a supporting beam 27 and the like. Among them:

[0049] The roller changing guide rail 21 is fixed on the front end (close to the rolling mill end) of the roller table frame one 25 through bolts, which ensures the stable running of the working roller during roller changing, and the roller changing guide rail 21 is provided with nozzle mounting holes for cooling the working roller.

[0050] The roller assembly 22 is used as an executing component, and a variable frequency motor drives the roller to rotate through a chain transmission device to transport the slab. The roller assembly 22 mainly comprises a motor, a coupling, a free roller assembly, a transmission roller assembly, a roller chain and a chain tensioning device. The structure is conventional and will not be described here.

[0051] The support base 23 is a welded steel structure used to support the roller assembly 22 and as a mounting base of the moving hydraulic cylinder 24. One end of the support base 23 is supported on the support beam 27, and the other end is supported on the base 26.

[0052] The moving hydraulic cylinder 24 is used to realize the switching of the process roller 2 between the roller changing position and the rolling position.

[0053] The roller frame 25 is a welded steel structure used to support the roller assembly 22.

[0054] The base 26 and the support beam 27 are both welded steel structures, and the support beam 27 is fixedly connected to the rolling mill stand 1 through fasteners, and both of them support the support base 23.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , the pinch roll device 5 comprises a cross beam, a hydraulic cylinder, a pressure roller, a guide column and a pressure roller support.

The centering device 4 is composed of a swing hydraulic cylinder 45, a centering guide plate 41, a rack 43, a gear shaft 44, a centering frame 42, a guide wheel 46 and the like. The swing hydraulic cylinder 45 provides power to drive the gear shaft 44 to rotate, and the gear shaft 44 realizes the forward and backward movement of the rack 43 along the transverse direction of the process roller way 2 through the meshing with the two racks 43. One end of each of the two racks 43 is connected with the corresponding side of the centering frame 42, and the other end is meshed with the gear shaft 44 for transmission. The two ends of the centering frame 44 are fixedly connected with the corresponding centering guide plates 41, and the rack 43 drives the two centering guide plates 41 to move synchronously when the rack 43 moves, thereby realizing the adjustment of the roller way opening degree. The two guide columns are respectively installed on the corresponding side of the roller way frame one 25 through fasteners, and play an auxiliary guiding role for the rack 43 during the gear and rack transmission process. A plurality of guide wheels 46 are respectively installed on the centering guide plates 41 on both sides, and the guide wheels 46 protrude out of the centering guide plates 41. The slab guiding process is directly contacted by the guide wheels 46 and the slab, which prevents the slab from being scratched due to collision with the centering guide plates 41.

[0057] As shown in the figure, Figures 6-8 The auxiliary roller way 3 is located between the slab conveying roller way upstream of the rolling mill and the process roller way 2, and is driven by a variable frequency speed reducer motor to drive the roller wheels in the roller way assembly two 34 to rotate to transport the slab. When the roller is replaced, the auxiliary roller way 3 is horizontally moved to the rear limit position (the roller replacement position) by the horizontal moving hydraulic cylinder 31 to make space for the process roller way 2 to retreat to the roller replacement working position.

[0058] The auxiliary roller way 3 mainly includes a horizontal moving hydraulic cylinder 31, a support base 32, a roller way frame two 33, a roller way assembly two 34, a horizontal moving base 35, a rolling linear guide 36 and a pad 37. The horizontal moving hydraulic cylinder 31 can drive the auxiliary roller way 3 to move on the pad 37. A proximity switch is arranged at the starting end of the stroke to display the working position of the auxiliary roller way 3 to the electric control system, and a proximity switch is arranged at the terminal end of the stroke to display the roller replacement position of the auxiliary roller way 3 to the electric control system, prompting the electric control system to perform subsequent roller replacement operation.

[0059] The support base 32 is a welded steel structure member, which is used for supporting the auxiliary roller way 3 during horizontal movement. One end of the support base 32 is connected with the base 26 of the process roller way 2 through fasteners, and the other end is connected with the foundation of the ground through foundation bolts.

[0060] The roller way frame two 33 is a welded steel structure member, which is used for supporting the roller way assembly two 34.

[0061] The roller assembly two 34 is driven by a variable frequency speed reducer motor, and the roller in the roller assembly two 34 is driven to rotate by a chain to transport the slab. The roller assembly two 34 mainly comprises a speed reducer motor two, a coupling two, a free roller assembly two, a transmission roller assembly two, a roller chain two and a chain tensioning device two. The structure is conventional technology, and thus will not be described here.

[0062] The transverse base 35 is a welded steel structure, and the bottom of the transverse base 35 is provided with rolling linear guides 36 through fasteners. When the roller is replaced, the rolling linear guides 36 are used to move along the pad 37 to realize the transverse movement of the auxiliary roller 3.

[0063] The working principle and working process of the auxiliary steel feeding and automatic centering device for short slab rolling are as follows:

[0064] When the rolling mill is in a rolling working state, the push rod of the moving hydraulic cylinder 24 in the process roller 2 is retracted, so that the process roller 2 is in an initial position, i.e., a rolling working position, and is close to the rolling mill. The auxiliary roller 3 is located in the working position. When the slab is transported to the inlet side of the rolling mill by the slab conveying roller upstream of the rolling mill, the material detection switch on the process roller 2 detects that the slab has reached the preset position, and then the centering device 4 is started to guide the slab. When the slab runs below the pinch roll device 5, the pressure roller in the pinch roll device 5 vertically moves downward under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, cooperates with the roller in the process roller 2, and clamps and feeds the slab to ensure the flatness of the slab during rolling, so as to realize tension-free feeding. When one end of the slab is bitten by the rolling mill, the slab establishes tension through the pinch roll device 5, realizes accurate feeding, and is rolled. When the material detection switch shows that there is no material passing through, the pressure roller in the pinch roll device 5 rises to the initial position, and the centering guide plate 41 returns to the initial position (at this time, the roller opening degree is maximum) through the action of the centering device 4.

[0065] When the rolling mill is in a roller replacement working state, the push rod of the transverse hydraulic cylinder 31 in the auxiliary roller 3 is retracted, so that the auxiliary roller 3 moves to the rear limit position (the roller replacement position). At this time, the auxiliary roller 3 moves to the outside of the process roller 2, so as to leave space for the process roller 2. After the electric control system sends a signal, the push rod of the moving hydraulic cylinder 24 in the process roller 2 extends, pushes the process roller 2 out of the rolling mill frame 1, leaves space for replacing the rolling mill. At the same time, the roller replacement guide rail 21 on the process roller 2 is butted with the roller replacement guide rail installed on the rolling mill frame 1, and a complete roller replacement track is formed.

[0066] If the rolling mill is a reversible rolling mill, the slab needs to be repeatedly rolled, and another set of auxiliary steel feeding and automatic centering devices is symmetrically installed at the outlet side of the rolling mill. According to the same principle, the slab repeatedly rolled can be successfully bitten by the rolling mill.

[0067] The above merely describes preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
