Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical rolling auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a novel steel coil cross saddle device that can be used for unloading small coils. Background Technology

[0002] In modern high-speed cold rolling mills, to ensure stable production and strip quality, it is necessary to stop the mill for replacement of work rolls and intermediate rolls. Each time production resumes after roll replacement, approximately 20-30 meters of strip will produce scrap steel with inconsistent thickness and shape, failing to meet product requirements. This scrap steel needs to be spun into smaller coils and treated as waste. These smaller coils are unloaded from the drum via an unloading trolley, transported to the cross saddle position, and then exit the cross saddle area after unloading. The walking beam then moves to the cross saddle position, conveying the smaller coil to the overhead crane position, where it is lifted off the mill. The cross saddle is located at the intersection of the unloading trolley and the walking beam. It must simultaneously allow the unloading trolley and walking beam to pass smoothly to complete the unloading and reeling operations, without interfering with or colliding with the smaller coil during unloading and reeling, thus preventing coil overturning accidents. Currently, the mainstream design for export cross saddles is a fixed opening. For example, the width of the unloading trolley saddle is designed to be 550mm. To prevent collisions caused by shaking during equipment operation, a safety distance of 25mm is reserved on each side. The opening size of the cross saddle towards the unloading trolley's movement needs to be 600mm. After the small coil is placed on the cross saddle, the walking beam connects the coil. A certain safety distance must be maintained between the walking beam saddle and the lowest point of the small coil to prevent the walking beam from colliding with the steel coil and causing a rollover accident during the connection operation. When a safety distance of 30.8mm is maintained between the lowest point of the small coil and the walking beam saddle, the minimum size of the small coil needs to reach D900mm. If scrap steel that does not meet product requirements needs to be removed each time production is restarted after a shutdown, and the minimum coil diameter needs to reach D900mm to ensure that the small coil can safely pass through the cross saddle, a large amount of finished steel strip will be forced to be bundled into the small coil and treated as scrap steel, resulting in huge economic losses.

[0003] To reduce losses, when unloading small coils, wooden blocks are manually placed at the cross saddle position to reduce the opening size of the cross saddle towards the unloading trolley. This raises the lowest point of the small coil on the cross saddle, preventing the walking beam saddle from hitting the steel coil when the walking beam is connecting the coils. This method can reduce the minimum coil diameter requirement to D620mm, which can alleviate economic losses to some extent. However, it requires operator intervention, which not only increases the labor load of personnel but also poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, a new type of steel coil cross saddle device is needed to solve the problem of unloading small coils. Summary of the Invention

[0027] refer to Figure 1 As shown, a novel steel coil cross saddle device for unloading small coils according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first fixed saddle 1, a second fixed saddle 2, and a third fixed saddle 3 arranged in a triangular pattern. The third fixed saddle 3 is located in the center position. The first fixed saddle 1 and the second fixed saddle 2 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the third fixed saddle 3. A first opening adjustable saddle 4 is movably connected to the first fixed saddle 1 via a first driving cylinder 7. A second opening adjustable saddle 5 is movably connected to the second fixed saddle 2 via a second driving cylinder 8. A third opening adjustable saddle 6 is movably connected to the third fixed saddle 3 via a third driving cylinder 9. A first transport channel is formed between the first fixed saddle 1 and the second fixed saddle 2, and a second transport channel is formed between the third fixed saddle 3, the first fixed saddle 1, and the second fixed saddle 2.

[0028] In practical use, the adjustable saddle openings allow for the smooth unloading of steel coils with a minimum diameter of D500mm. When unloading smaller coils, there is no need for coil diameters reaching D900mm or for manual intervention to place wooden blocks at the cross saddle position. The equipment is simple and convenient to operate, improving the automation rate of the equipment and the yield of the unit. It also reduces the labor intensity of personnel and the safety risks during the unloading of smaller coils. The cross saddle device for steel coils occupies the same area as the original saddle, and the equipment is easy to maintain, highly safe, and has a very broad prospect for promotion.

[0029] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first transport channel and the second transport channel are arranged vertically. In this case, the unloading trolley unloads the coil along the first transport channel, and the walking beam transports the small coil along the second transport channel.

[0030] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a first liner 16 is connected to one end of the third opening adjustable saddle 6, a second liner 17 is connected to the other end of the third opening adjustable saddle 6, a third liner 18 is connected to one end of the first opening adjustable saddle 4 facing the third opening adjustable saddle 6, and a fourth liner 19 is connected to one end of the second opening adjustable saddle 5 facing the third opening adjustable saddle 6. The first liner 16, the second liner 17, the third liner 18, and the fourth liner 19 form a support position for supporting the small roll.

[0031] Specifically, the material of each lining plate is rubber.

[0032] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a first fixed saddle 1 is provided with a first support rail and a first slider slidably connected to the first support rail, a first opening adjustable saddle 4 is fixedly connected to the first slider, and a first drive cylinder 7 is connected to the first slider. The second fixed saddle 2 is provided with a second support rail and a second slider that is slidably connected to the second support rail. The second opening adjustable saddle 5 is fixedly connected to the second slider. The second drive cylinder 8 is connected to the second slider. The third fixed saddle 3 is provided with a third support rail and a third slider that is slidably connected to the third support rail. The third opening adjustable saddle 6 is fixedly connected to the third slider. The third drive cylinder 9 is connected to the third slider.

[0033] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a first saddle detection and limiting bracket is connected to the side of the first support track near the first transport channel, and a first proximity switch 10 is connected to the first saddle detection and limiting bracket. A second saddle detection limit bracket is connected to the side of the second support rail closest to the first transport channel, and a second proximity switch 11 is connected to the second saddle detection limit bracket. A third saddle detection limit bracket is connected to the side of the third support track away from the first transport channel, and a third proximity switch 12 is connected to the third saddle detection limit bracket.

[0034] The real-time position of each adjustable saddle with different opening degrees is obtained through the aforementioned proximity switches.

[0035] refer to Figure 2As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the novel steel coil cross saddle device further includes a hydraulic control system. The hydraulic control system includes a first hydraulic hose 13, a second hydraulic hose 14, a third hydraulic hose 15, a first directional valve 20, a first hydraulically controlled check valve 21, a first flow regulating valve 22, a second directional valve 23, a second hydraulically controlled check valve 24, and a second flow regulating valve 25. The first directional valve 20, the first hydraulically controlled check valve 21, and the first flow regulating valve 22 are sequentially connected. The first directional valve 20 is connected to a hydraulic device (not shown in the figure), and the first flow regulating valve 22... The third hydraulic hose 15 is connected to the third drive cylinder 9; the second directional valve 23, the second hydraulic check valve 24, and the second flow regulating valve 25 are connected in sequence. The second directional valve 23 is connected to the hydraulic equipment. The second flow regulating valve 25 is connected to the first drive cylinder 7 and the second drive cylinder 8 through the first hydraulic hose 13 and the second hydraulic hose 14, respectively. The above-mentioned hydraulic equipment provides hydraulic power to the drive cylinder. The directional valve controls the movement of the drive cylinder by controlling the oil circuit reversal. The hydraulic check valve locks the position of the drive cylinder. The flow regulating valve controls the movement speed of the drive cylinder.

[0036] In the normal waiting state, the first reversing valve 20 and the second reversing valve 23 are not energized and are in the neutral position. All adjustable saddles are in the retracted state, and the opening size they form is consistent with the opening size formed by each fixed saddle. At this time, the proximity switch detects and displays the position of each adjustable saddle. When the unloading trolley transports a smaller diameter steel coil to the position of the new type of steel coil cross saddle device, the unloading trolley saddle is lowered to the appropriate position at low speed. The first reversing valve 20 and the second reversing valve 23 are energized, which in turn drives each drive cylinder to move each adjustable saddle, reducing the cross installation opening and lifting the smaller diameter steel coil. The unloading trolley continues to descend and retreat to the position, and the stepping beam is started to transport the coil. After the automatic stepping beam transport is completed, the first reversing valve 20 and the second reversing valve 23 switch, which drives each drive cylinder to move each adjustable saddle back to the waiting position, completing one unloading operation of a small coil.

[0037] The program sets relevant interlocking conditions. The opening operation interlock condition for the new type of steel coil cross saddle device is that there is no steel coil on the saddle seat; the closing operation interlock condition for the new type of steel coil cross saddle device is that the unloading trolley is outside the walking beam area or in the forward position, and the height of the unloading trolley saddle is within the set range requirement; if any of the detection positions of the proximity switches on the new type of steel coil cross saddle device shows a non-retracted state, the unloading trolley will stop at the position interlocked with the walking beam area and cannot move forward.

[0038] Because the unloading trolley bears a large load, in order to reduce the impact of the unloading trolley's inertia and even avoid the unloading trolley from losing control and colliding with the third fixed saddle 3, causing equipment damage, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, a buffer anti-collision component is connected to the side of the third fixed saddle 3 facing the first transport channel, and buffer components are provided on the side of the first fixed saddle 1 and the second fixed saddle 2 facing the first transport channel.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the buffer anti-collision assembly includes a cylindrical body 26, a piston 27, a push rod 28, a first spring 29, and a sealing ring 30. The cylindrical body 26 is hollow and has an opening on one end face. A spacer cylinder 31 is disposed in the cylindrical body 26. One end of the spacer cylinder 31 is fixedly and sealed to the bottom of the cylindrical body 26, and the other end of the spacer cylinder 31 is sealed to the edge of the opening. The spacer cylinder 31 divides the cylindrical body 26 into a first chamber 32 communicating with the opening and a second chamber surrounding the first chamber 32. A plurality of first through holes 35 are formed on the circumferential sidewall of the spacer cylinder 31 along the length direction of the cylinder. The first chamber 32 passes through the first through holes 35. The first through holes 35 are connected to the second chamber. The diameter of the holes increases sequentially from the bottom of the first chamber 32 to the opening of the first chamber 32. The piston 27 is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the spacer cylinder 31. One end of the push rod 28 is fixedly connected to the piston 27. The other end of the push rod 28 extends out of the opening to the outside of the first chamber 32 and faces the first transport channel. The sealing ring 30 is slidably and sealingly fitted between the spacer cylinder 31 and the cylinder body 26. The sealing ring 30 divides the second chamber into an adjustment chamber 33 and a medium chamber 34. The medium chamber 34 is connected to the first chamber 32. The first spring 29 is set in the adjustment chamber 33 and is connected to the top and bottom of the adjustment chamber 33 respectively. The adjustment chamber 33 has a second through hole 36.

[0040] Specifically, the adjusting chamber 33 is not connected to the first chamber 32. More specifically, the first chamber 32 is filled with a pressurized medium. The pressurized medium can be air, water, oil, a water-oil mixture, or other gel-like mixtures. Simultaneously, the aforementioned pressurized medium can be introduced into the adjusting chamber 33 through the second through-hole 36 to adjust the extreme position of the sealing ring 30, thereby changing the stroke of the first chamber 32 and the medium chamber 34.

[0041] When the unloading trolley impacts or collides with the push rod 28 due to inertia, the push rod 28 will move towards the bottom of the first chamber 32, forcing the pressurized medium in the first chamber 32 to flow into the medium chamber 34 through the first through hole 35. Since the diameters of the multiple first through holes 35 increase sequentially from the bottom of the first chamber 32 towards its opening, as the push rod 28 moves towards the bottom of the first chamber 32, the piston 27 moves and gradually blocks the larger diameter first through holes 35. This gradually reduces the unit flow rate of the pressurized medium from the first chamber 32 to the medium chamber 34 per unit time, resulting in a significant retention effect. This leads to a gradual increase in the buffering force generated in the first chamber 32, which effectively buffers and prevents collisions caused by the inertial impact generated during the operation of the unloading trolley. The sealing ring 30 and the first spring 29 further buffer the inertial impact generated during the operation of the unloading trolley. After the unloading trolley exits, the first spring 29 forces the sealing ring 30 and the push rod 28 to reset. In other words, the buffer and anti-collision component can buffer the inertial impact of the unloading trolley and even prevent dangerous accidents caused by the unloading trolley going out of control. It is simple and ingenious, and has a better buffer and anti-collision effect than traditional rubber blocks.

[0042] refer to Figure 4 As shown, preferably, in order to improve the buffering effect, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, a second spring 37 is provided in the first chamber 32, and the two ends of the second spring 37 are respectively connected to the bottom of the first chamber 32 and the piston 27.

[0043] refer to Figure 5 As shown, in order to further improve the buffering effect, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the buffer assembly includes a rotating rod 38 and a buffer block 39. A cavity is provided in the first fixed saddle 1, the rotating rod 38 is vertically arranged in the cavity, and a rotating hole is provided on the buffer block 39. The buffer block 39 is sleeved on the rotating rod 38 through a reset torsion spring (not shown in the figure). One end of the buffer block 39 is the collision end 40, and multiple rollers 41 are rotatably connected from the collision end 40 to the buffer block 39 portion with the rotating hole at intervals. The other end of the buffer block 39 is the friction end 42, and a wear-resistant layer 43 is connected from the friction end 42 to the buffer block 39 portion with the rotating hole. In the initial state, the collision end 40 extends out of the cavity and is located in the first transport channel, while the friction end 42 is located in the cavity.

[0044] When the unloading trolley is operating normally, the unloading trolley will contact the roller 41 and squeeze the buffer block 39. Since the unloading trolley is running at a normal low speed, the buffer block 39 is not subjected to a strong impact force. Therefore, the entire buffer block 39 will be slowly squeezed and rotated under the limit of the rotating rod 38. Then the friction end 42 slowly extends out of the cavity until the unloading trolley reaches the unloading position. Only then will the friction end 42 just abut against the side wall of the unloading trolley to stabilize the unloading trolley. When the unloading trolley exits the unloading position, the squeezing force on the buffer block 39 is reduced. Under the action of the reset torsion spring, the collision end 40 and the friction end 42 reset. When the unloading trolley is in an abnormal state and running at high speed, the unloading trolley impacts the buffer block 39 at high speed and overcomes the elastic force of the reset torsion spring, causing the entire buffer block 39 to rotate rapidly along the rotating rod 38. This causes the friction end 42 to quickly extend from the cavity and abut against the side wall of the unloading trolley over a large area, thereby generating resistance to the unloading trolley through friction. When used with the buffer anti-collision component, the buffer anti-collision effect can be further improved, enhancing the safety of the equipment.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
