Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rolling mill technology, and in particular to a rolling mill stand replacement system in a compact plant. Background Technology

[0002] Rolling mills are widely deployed in steel rolling workshops. They use two relatively rotating rolls to roll hot billets to improve the strength and rigidity of the products. As the most critical heavy machinery in a steel rolling workshop, the importance of the rolling mill to the entire production line is self-evident. It directly affects the mechanical properties and quality precision of the products, and also determines the annual capacity and production efficiency of the entire steel rolling workshop.

[0003] Workshop production managers typically create production schedules based on customer product orders. When the type or specification of the billet to be rolled needs to be changed, or when the rolling mill undergoes a comprehensive overhaul, the existing rolling mill stand (the old stand) must be pulled out entirely from the operating side of the mill. A motor-driven cable trolley then transports it along a laid track to the off-line area, where it is hoisted by an overhead crane to the grinding roll workshop. There, the upper and lower rolls of the old stand are manually disassembled. After the new rolls are installed, the pre-assembled new rolling mill stand from the grinding roll workshop is hoisted to the off-line area, and then a cable trolley transports it to the rolling station and installs it in place before rolling the subsequent billets.

[0004] Therefore, in traditional hot rolling production lines, when replacing old mill stands, the entire stand is transported in a straight line by a cable chain trolley to the distant offline area. After the old mill stand is replaced, the new mill stand is then transported in a straight line from the distant offline area to the online rolling area by a cable chain trolley. According to the workshop process technology plan, the offline area of ​​the steel rolling workshop generally adopts a linear layout. The entire mill stand is transported from the operating side by a cable chain trolley along a track to the area near the grinding roll workshop. The offline area is relatively long, occupies a large area, and requires high capital investment. This process technology plan puts significant pressure on the production and operation of small and medium-sized steel mills. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0048] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0050] like Figure 1-8 As shown in the embodiment of the invention, a mill stand replacement system in a compact factory building is provided. An offline area and a roll removal area are arranged on the side of the main motor of the mill, forming a non-linear layout. The mill stand replacement includes six stations: online rolling station O1, stand replacement station O2, first station of transport vehicle #1 O3, second station of transport vehicle #1 O4, first station of transport vehicle #2 O5, and roll replacement station O6. Among them, online rolling station O1 and stand replacement station O2 are located in the online area; first station of transport vehicle #1 O3, second station of transport vehicle #1 O4, and first station of transport vehicle #2 O5 are located in the offline area; and roll replacement station O6 is located in the roll removal area.

[0051] Online rolling station O1 and stand changing station O2 are arranged along the rolling center line A, separated by a preset distance. Stand changing station O2 and the first station O3 of transport vehicle #1 are arranged along the center line B of the first stand changing station, separated by a preset distance. The rolling center line A is perpendicular to the center line B of the first stand changing station. Stand changing station O2 is located at the intersection of the rolling center line A and the center line B of the first stand changing station.

[0052] The first station O3 and the second station O4 of transport vehicle #1 are arranged along the first transverse center line E, separated by a predetermined distance. The first transverse center line E is parallel to the rolling center line A and perpendicular to the stand change station center line B. The first station O3 of transport vehicle #1 is located at the intersection of the first transverse center line E and the stand change station center line B. The second station O4 of transport vehicle #1 is located at the intersection of the first transverse center line E and the second stand change station center line C.

[0053] The first station O5 of transport vehicle #2 and the roll changing station O6 are arranged along the second transverse center line F, separated by a preset distance. The second transverse center line F is parallel to the rolling center line A and perpendicular to the stand changing station center line B. The first station O5 of transport vehicle #2 is located at the intersection of the second transverse center line F and the second stand changing station center line C. The roll changing station O6 is located at the intersection of the second transverse center line F and the roll changing station center line D.

[0054] When replacing the old mill stand 14, it first starts from the online rolling station O1, passes through O2-O3-O4 in sequence, and then reaches the offline area O4 through an inverted Z-shaped motion trajectory. When the new mill stand 15 is in place, the assembled new mill stand 15 starts from the roll changing station O6, passes through O5-O4 in sequence, and then reaches the offline area O4 through an inverted L-shaped motion trajectory. Then it starts from O4, passes through O3-O2-O1 in sequence, and then reaches the online rolling station O1 through an inverted Z-shaped motion trajectory. The replacement operation of the old mill stand 14 continues, starting from the offline area O4, passing through O5-O6 in sequence, and then reaching the roll changing station O6 through an inverted L-shaped motion trajectory.

The online rolling mill base 2 is placed above the online transverse moving device 3 and moves freely along the rolling center line A, moving from the online rolling station O1 to the stand changing station O2.

[0057] The cross-transport vehicle 5 and the online transverse movement device 3 are arranged perpendicularly (the intersection is the stand changing station O2). The #2 push-pull cylinder mechanism 4 and the #3 push-pull cylinder mechanism 6 are located at both ends of the cross-transport vehicle 5, and can connect to the old rolling mill stand 14, so that the old rolling mill stand 14 can move along the direction B perpendicular to the rolling center line, from the stand changing station O2 to the first station O3 of the #1 transport vehicle.

[0058] The 1# transverse transfer car 7 and the cross-transfer car 5 are arranged perpendicularly (the intersection position is the first station O3 of the 1# transport car). The 1# transverse transfer car 7 is connected to the old rolling mill stand 14, so that the old rolling mill stand 14 can move along the first transverse transfer center line E, from the first station O3 of the 1# transport car to the second station O4 of the 1# transport car.

[0059] The 2# transverse transfer car 9 is arranged in parallel with the 1# transverse transfer car 7 (the parallel position on the 1# transverse transfer car 7 is the second station O4 of the 1# transport car, and the parallel position on the 2# transverse transfer car 9 is the first station O5 of the 2# transport car). The 2# transverse transfer car 9 is connected to the old mill stand 14, so that the old mill stand 14 can move along the second transverse center line F, from the first station O5 of the 2# transport car to the roll changing station O6, where the old rolls are replaced.

[0060] After the rolls are replaced, the new mill stand 15 moves along the opposite path to the old mill stand 14, from the roll changing station O6 to the first station O5 of the second transport car using the 2# traverse car 9, then moves from the second station O4 of the first transport car to the first station O3 of the first transport car using the 1# traverse car 7, then moves from the first station O3 of the first transport car to the stand changing station O2 using the cross-pass transport car 5, and finally moves from the stand changing station O2 to the online rolling station O1 using the online traverse device 3.
