[0002] At present, in the continuous production and processing lines of strip steel in the metallurgical industry, there are coilers for coiling the processed strip steel into a coil. According to the material properties of the strip steel, for strip steel exceeding a certain thickness, the coiler drum with jaws is generally used to assist in coiling the strip steel. However, due to process requirements, sometimes the inner diameter of the strip steel to be coiled by the coiler is not a fixed value. If two coilers are set up, it is obviously not cost-effective. The original diameter-increasing sleeve itself does not have a jaw, and the jaws of the coiler itself need to be used. This will inevitably cause the strip head (commonly known as the strip tongue) to become longer after the sleeve is added, which is not conducive to unloading the coil, especially not conducive to coiling in the next process.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] See also Figure 1-3As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, a diameter increasing sleeve with a jaw is provided, which is used to be sleeved outside the reel of a coiler, including a plurality of fan-shaped plates and a clamping mechanism 7. The plurality of fan-shaped plates are connected by the clamping mechanism 7 to form a complete circular sleeve with adjustable diameter. The fan-shaped plates are divided into a first fan-shaped plate 1, a second fan-shaped plate 2 with a pushing portion 4 and a third fan-shaped plate 3 with a jaw 5. A strip head clamping mechanism 6 is installed at the jaw 5 of the third fan-shaped plate 3. The strip head clamping mechanism 6 is used to clamp the strip head of the strip in the jaw 5. The second fan-shaped plate 2 and the third fan-shaped plate 3 are adjacently connected and arranged so that the pushing portion 4 of the second fan-shaped plate 2 and the jaw 5 of the third fan-shaped plate 3 are relatively matched. The pushing portion 4 of the second fan-shaped plate 2 is used to push the strip head clamping mechanism 6 to move to loosen the strip head in the jaw 5.

[0025] The diameter increasing sleeve with the jaws 5 of the present invention is not powered, and the expansion and contraction of the winding drum is expanded and contracted by the expansion and contraction hydraulic cylinder of the coiler, thereby completing the expansion and contraction of the diameter increasing sleeve and the bite and tension of the jaws 5. When the coiler needs to coil a strip with a small inner diameter, the diameter increasing sleeve can be omitted, and the strip with a small inner diameter can be directly rolled outside the winding drum of the coiler. When the coiler needs to coil a strip with a large inner diameter, the diameter increasing sleeve is sleeved outside the winding drum of the coiler, and the head of the strip with a large inner diameter is bitten and fixed by the jaws 5 of the diameter increasing sleeve, so that the strip is rolled outside the diameter increasing sleeve, completing the winding function of the coiler. This setting can realize the winding of strips with different coil diameters without setting up multiple coilers, and makes the replacement speed of strips with different coil diameters faster and the economic cost lower. At the same time, it can avoid the growth of the head, which is convenient for unloading and winding in the next process.

[0026] In this embodiment, the strip head clamping mechanism 6 includes a first elastic member 61, a guide rod 62 and a clamping block 63. The guide rod 62 is fixedly installed at the jaw 5, and the clamping block 63 is slidably arranged at one end of the guide rod 62. The first elastic member 61 is installed on the guide rod 62. The first elastic member 61 is used to drive the clamping block 63 to move in the radial outward direction to clamp the strip head in the jaw 5; specifically, the jaw 5 includes a clamping groove 51 and a receiving groove 52 that are interconnected. The guide rod 62 is installed in the receiving groove 52, and the clamping block 63 is slidably arranged in the clamping groove 51. The first elastic member 61 is a first spring sleeved outside the guide rod 62, and the two ends of the first spring are respectively connected to the receiving groove The bottom wall of the groove 52 and the clamping block 63 are abutted against each other; the cross-section of the clamping block 63 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the left and right sides of the clamping block 63 are respectively a clamping slope 631 and a transmission slope 632, the pushing portion 4 of the second sector plate 2 is an inclined surface, the transmission slope 632 and the inclined surface are parallel to each other and abut against each other, the clamping slope 631 and the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 are parallel to each other, and the first spring is used to drive the clamping block 63 to move in a radially outward direction to clamp the strip head between the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping slope 631. This arrangement makes the biting effect of the strip head more stable and reliable, and the loosening process can also be smooth to avoid jamming. That is, when the winding drum of the coiler expands in diameter, the diameter-increasing sleeve is also expanded, so that the inclined surface of the second sector plate 2 and the clamping groove 51 of the third sector plate 3 move away from each other, so that the clamping block 63 is driven to move radially outward on the guide rod 62 under the elastic force of the first spring, so that the gap between the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping inclined surface 631 gradually decreases, and then the strip head of the strip is clamped between the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping inclined surface 631. When the reel of the coiler shrinks in diameter, the diameter-increasing sleeve is also reduced, so that the inclined surface of the second sector plate 2 and the clamping groove 51 of the third sector plate 3 approach each other, and the inclined surface of the second sector plate 2 pushes the clamping block 63 to move radially inward on the guide rod 62 (the first spring is in a compressed state at this time), thereby gradually increasing the gap between the groove side wall 511 of the clamping groove 51 and the clamping inclined surface 631, thereby loosening and releasing the strip head in the jaw 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are multiple first fan-shaped plates 1, and the second fan-shaped plate 2 and the third fan-shaped plate 3 are one. The multiple first fan-shaped plates 1 are connected in sequence, and the two first fan-shaped plates 1 located at the edge are respectively connected to the second fan-shaped plate 2 and the third fan-shaped plate 3 through the clamping mechanism 7. Of course, it is also possible to have only one first fan-shaped plate 1, which can be adjusted according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0028] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 7 includes a guide telescopic rod 71 and a second elastic member 72 installed on the guide telescopic rod 71. The guide telescopic rod 71 is telescopically arranged between two adjacent sector plates. The second elastic member 72 is used to drive the guide telescopic rod 71 to telescope and reset. Specifically, the edges of the sector plates are respectively provided with accommodating holes 8. The two ends of the guide telescopic rod 71 are respectively installed in two accommodating holes 8 close to each other on two adjacent sector plates. The second elastic member 72 is a second spring. The second spring is respectively correspondingly sleeved on the guide telescopic rod 71 in the two accommodating holes 8. The end of the guide telescopic rod 71 is provided with a diameter expansion limiter 9. One end of the accommodating hole 8 extends radially inward to form a limit step 10. The two ends of the second spring are respectively abutted against the diameter expansion limiter 9 and the limit step 10 of the guide telescopic rod 71. This arrangement makes the movement accuracy of each sector plate higher and more balanced and stable when the diameter increasing sleeve is expanding and contracting.

[0029] The present invention also provides a coiler, comprising a diameter increasing sleeve with a jaw 5 and a coiler as described in the above embodiment, the diameter increasing sleeve being sleeved on the outside of the coiler. This arrangement can realize the winding of strip steels with different coil diameters without setting up multiple coilers, and makes the replacement speed of strip steels with different coil diameters faster and with lower economic cost. At the same time, it can avoid the growth of the strip head, making it convenient to unload the coil and roll it up for the next process.
