Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a device and method for quickly replacing support rolls of a rolling mill, belonging to the technical field of rolling mill roll replacement in the metallurgical industry. Background Art
[0002] The rolling mill backup roll is used to support the working roll to prevent the working roll from bending and deformation, which affects the output and quality of plates and strips. It is one of the key equipment of the hot rolling and wide medium and thick plate production line rolling mill. In order to control the rolling accuracy and ensure the product quality, the backup roll needs to be replaced after a period of rolling. Due to the large diameter and heavy weight of the backup roll, the replacement procedure is relatively cumbersome.
[0003] See attached Fig.15 The steps for replacing the support rolls of a rolling mill are usually as follows: (1) After stopping the machine and pulling out the working rolls, open the transverse platform and pull out the lower support roll 04; (2) hoist the support roll changing bracket 02 onto the bearing seat of the lower support roll, and adjust the position so that the positioning key 041 on the lower support roll coincides with the key slot 0211 of the changing bracket; (3) push in the lower support roll with the changing bracket; (4) lower the upper support roll 05 onto the changing bracket, pull out the upper and lower support rolls and lift them off, replace them with new upper and lower support rolls and push them in, and lift the upper support roll to separate it from the changing bracket; (5) pull out the lower support roll; (6) lift off the tooling; (7) push in the lower support roll and perform subsequent recovery operations.
[0004] The original roll-changing support 02 is mainly composed of a base 021, a column 022, a connecting transverse pipe 023 and a connecting vertical pipe 024, and is mainly used to support the upper supporting roller so that the upper supporting roller can be pulled out together with the lower supporting roller. Since the roll-changing support cannot be directly placed between the upper and lower supporting rollers in the rolling mill window, it is necessary to frequently pull out and push down the supporting rollers, and use the lower supporting rollers to transport the roll-changing support. Frequent pulling out and pushing down of the supporting rollers causes the bearing seat of the supporting rollers to be subjected to stress multiple times, and its internal bearings, locking devices, etc. are subjected to multiple axial impact loads, which has a certain impact on its service life. The roll-changing support and the lower supporting roller bearing seat are positioned and constrained by positioning keys, and the hoisting operation is not easy to operate and position, with low precision and long time consumption. At the same time, the hoisting operation of the roll-changing support is usually carried out at the edge of the roll-changing pit, which poses a safety hazard to the operators. Pulling out and pushing down the supporting rollers to transport the roll-changing support and the hoisting, positioning and lifting operation of the roll-changing support and the lower supporting rollers are time-consuming, affecting the maintenance efficiency. Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0029] The roller changing bracket 1 can be raised and lowered along with the raising and lowering of the lower supporting roller 04. When the base of the roller changing bracket 1 contacts the bearing seat of the raised lower supporting roller 04, it can be raised and lowered along with the lower supporting roller 04, so that the circular through hole 103 of the roller changing bracket 1 is separated and matched with the pin shaft 206 of the moving trolley. With the auxiliary positioning of the positioning baffle 208, the movement of the roller changing bracket can be completed through the movement of the moving trolley and the raising and lowering of the lower supporting roller 04.
[0030] See also Figure 11-15 As shown, the replacement of the rolling mill support roll is carried out according to the following detailed steps (1) Push in the roller changing bracket Before stopping for maintenance, hoist the roll-changing support 1 and the mobile trolley onto the transverse platform as a whole and remove the locking bolts. After stopping and pulling out the working rolls, move the transverse platform and push the mobile trolley with the roll-changing support 1 into the mill window with the help of the original roll-changing drive device. (2) Pull out the mobile cart Operate the jog function to lift the lower support roller 04, and at the same time, fine-tune the position of the moving trolley, so that the positioning key 041 on the lower support roller 04 is aligned with the key slot 0211 of the roller-changing bracket, and continue to lift the lower support roller 04, so that the lower support roller 04 lifts the roller-changing bracket 1 and separates it from the pin shaft 206 on the moving trolley, and with the help of the original roller-changing drive device, the moving trolley is pulled out to the transverse platform; (3) Replace the upper and lower rollers The lower support roller 04 is lowered to the original position, the upper support roller 05 is lowered to the roller changing bracket 1, the transverse moving platform is opened, the upper and lower support rollers are pulled out and lifted off, replaced with new upper and lower support rollers and pushed in, and the upper support roller is lifted to separate from the roller changing bracket; (4) Pull out the roller changing bracket Lift the lower supporting roller 04, move the transverse platform and push the mobile trolley into the rolling mill window with the help of the original roll changing drive device, so that the positioning baffle 208 on the mobile frame contacts the protruding support plate 101 on the outer side of the roll changing bracket 1. At this time, the circular through hole 103 on the protruding support plate 101 coincides with the pin shaft 206 on the mobile trolley, lower the lower supporting roller 04, and make the roll changing bracket 1 fall on the mobile trolley. With the help of the original roll changing drive device, the mobile trolley is pulled out of the window, and subsequent recovery operations are performed; after the maintenance is completed or during the working interval, install the locking bolts 5 to connect the roll changing bracket 1 and the mobile trolley, and lift them away.
