Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of billet mill pass technology, and particularly to a billet mill pass for bar stock and the billet mill roll changing procedure. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of a billet mill is to reciprocate and roll the billet heated in the furnace into intermediate billets of a certain size for use by the continuous rolling mill. During the rolling process, the billet mill can automatically adjust the reduction according to pre-set tool parameters and rolling programs to achieve the desired rolling effect. However, billet mills also have some disadvantages, such as low output, low yield, a large number of operators, and relatively outdated technology. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop a billet mill pass system for bar stock that can test various billet cross-sections and improve the output of the billet mill.

[0003] Patent publication number CN218340652U discloses a rolling mill pass system for rolling various cross-section billets using a single roll. The roll has three passes: roll pass four, roll pass three, and roll pass two. This rolling mill pass system for rolling φ60~φ250mm round steel using a single roll system reduces the width of roll pass three and the width of the roller rings in the middle passes, and increases the number of passes from three to four, thereby reducing roll change time. It enables the production of Φ60-Φ250mm round steel from billets with cross-sections of 240×240mm, 280×380mm, 320×415mm, and Φ200-Φ350mm, as well as large-diameter electrode flat steel of 140-200×170-240mm. However, this roll pass system only has four sets of passes, which limits the cross-sectional area of ​​the billet that can be rolled, and the chance of abnormal wear of the rolling groove of the billet mill is high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a billet mill roll profile for bar stock and a billet mill roll changing step thereof, which can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a blanking mill die for bar stock, comprising five die types: K5, K4, K3, K2, and K1, with a roller body diameter of 1100 mm;

[0006] The K5 groove has a diameter of 380-400mm, a bottom diameter of 350-360mm, a hole radius of 23-27mm, a r-angle of 23-27mm, a sidewall slope of 14-16°, and a groove height of 145-155mm.

[0007] The K4 slot has a diameter of 330-340mm, a bottom diameter of 295-305mm, a hole radius of 23-27mm, a r-angle of 23-27mm, a sidewall slope of 13-15°, and a slot height of 145-155mm.

[0008] The K3 groove has a diameter of 270-280mm, a bottom diameter of 235-245mm, a hole radius of 28-32mm, a radius of 23-27mm, a sidewall slope of 12-14°, and a groove height of 165-175mm.

[0009] The K2 slot has a diameter of 225-235mm, a bottom diameter of 195-200mm, a hole radius of 28-32mm, a r-angle of 23-27mm, a sidewall slope of 12-14°, and a slot height of 165-175mm.

[0010] The K1 groove has a diameter of 200-210mm, a bottom diameter of 165-175mm, a hole radius of 28-32mm, a radius of 23-27mm, a sidewall slope of 12-14°, and a groove height of 165-175mm.

[0011] The roll changing procedure for the billet mill includes the following steps: S1. Preparations before roll changing: Safety preparations: Ensure the billet mill has been stopped and the power supply has been disconnected. Hang a warning sign that reads "Do not turn on the switch, people are working." Operators should wear personal protective equipment such as safety helmets, work clothes, gloves, and safety shoes.

[0012] Prepare the necessary tools for changing the roller, such as wrenches, jacks, lifting tools, and pry bars, and check the integrity and reliability of the tools.

[0013] New roll preparation involves hoisting the new roll to the vicinity of the roll changing site, checking the surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and roll number of the roll to ensure that the roll meets production requirements.

[0014] S2 Remove the old rolls, loosen the lock nuts and connecting bolts on the roll shaft head, and use a suitable wrench to gradually loosen the lock nuts and connecting bolts on the roll shaft head in a diagonal sequence. Be careful to keep the removed nuts and bolts.

[0015] Eject the roll by placing jacks under the shaft ends at both ends of the roll and slowly raising the jacks simultaneously to push the roll out of the frame a certain distance, so that the roll is separated from the frame.

[0016] Use lifting equipment to hoist the old rolls and transport them smoothly to the designated storage location.

[0017] S3 Install the new roll. Hoist the new roll to the top of the frame using a hoisting device. Slowly lower it so that the shaft ends of the roll are aligned with the mounting holes on the frame. Insert the roll and slowly lower it into the frame, ensuring that the roll is installed in the correct position. Tighten the connecting bolts and lock nuts. Use a wrench to tighten the connecting bolts and lock nuts of the roll shaft ends in a diagonal sequence. The tightening torque should meet the technical requirements of the equipment.

[0018] Inspection and debugging after S4 roll change: Check the roll installation, including its position, levelness, and verticality, ensuring it is securely installed without any looseness. Check the lubrication system to ensure the oil passages are clear and the lubricating grease is sufficient. Debug the rolls, connect the power supply, start the billet mill, and perform no-load testing to check the roll operation for any abnormal sounds, vibrations, or overheating. After the no-load testing is normal, conduct a load test production to check the dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and production efficiency of the rolled material, ensuring the billet mill can operate normally after the roll change.

[0019] S5 Clean up the site, remove tools and debris, clean up the tools and debris used in the roll changing process, sort and store them, clean up oil stains, and keep the site environment clean.

[0020] Preferably, the distance between the K5-K1 holes is 53mm.

[0021] Preferably, K1 is 100mm from the roller head and K5 is 100mm from the roller bottom.

[0022] Preferably, the upper roller has a diameter of 1100-1102 mm and the lower roller has a diameter of 1096-1098 mm.

[0023] Preferably, the groove size design is as follows: from K5 to K1, the size of the groove opening and the groove bottom gradually decreases to accommodate the gradual compression of the bar during the rolling process.
