DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] See also Figure 1-17 The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: The synchronous centering mechanism of the wheel rolling mill described in the present invention comprises a main roller assembly 10 slidably arranged in the installation groove 2 of the machine body 1 along the left-right direction and a centering roller assembly 11 symmetrically arranged relative to the main roller assembly 10 along the up-down direction, and the two centering roller assemblies 11 are both hinged to the machine body 1; a driving part is arranged on the main roller assembly 10, and the driving part is used to simultaneously drive the left ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 to rotate when the main roller assembly 10 moves to the right, so that the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 and the right end of the main roller assembly 10 move inward synchronously, and at any position during this process, the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 and the right end of the main roller assembly 10 are always tangent to the circumferential surface of the corresponding virtual circle, and the inscribed circles of the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 and the right end of the main roller assembly 10 are always concentric; a main hydraulic telescopic rod 12 is arranged at the left end of the main roller assembly 10, and the main hydraulic telescopic rod 12 is used to drive the main roller assembly 10 to move left and right.

[0021] When the main roller assembly 10 moves to the right, it drives the driving part to move to the right synchronously, so that the driving part synchronously drives the left ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 to rotate, and then the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 and the right end of the main roller assembly 10 move synchronously towards each other, so as to achieve the purpose of synchronous inward movement of the right end of the main roller assembly 10 and the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11; when in use, the wheel 7 is placed between the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 and the right end of the main roller assembly 10 by the mechanical arm, and then the main roller assembly 10 is driven to move to the right by the main hydraulic telescopic rod 12, so as to achieve the purpose of synchronous inward movement of the right end of the main roller assembly 10 and the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 to clamp the tread of the wheel 7, and there is an inscribed circle at any position when the right end of the main roller assembly 10 and the right ends of the two centering roller assemblies 11 move synchronously inward, and the inscribed circles are concentric, so as to ensure that the tread of the wheel 7 is effectively clamped.

[0022] In this embodiment, the centering roller assembly 11 includes an articulated arm 13 and a centering roller 14 rotatably connected to the right end of the articulated arm 13. The middle section of the articulated arm 13 is hinged to the machine body 1. The driving part moves to the right to drive the left end of the articulated arm 13 to cause the right end of the articulated arm 13 to rotate downward.

[0023] In this embodiment, the main roller assembly 10 includes a driving rod 15, and a main roller 16 rotatably connected to the right end of the driving rod 15, the left end of the driving rod 15 is fixedly arranged with the output end of the main hydraulic telescopic rod 12, the driving rod 15 is located in the mounting groove 2 of the machine body 1 and is slidably arranged with the machine body 1 along the left and right directions, the driving part includes a driving block 17 fixedly arranged on the driving rod 15, the upper and lower parts of the right side surface of the driving block 17 are provided with cam surfaces 18, and a follower mechanism is arranged on the articulated arm 13. The follower mechanism is used to keep the left end of the articulated arm 13 in contact with the cam surface 18 when the driving block 17 moves left and right; when the main hydraulic telescopic rod 12 pushes the driving rod 15 and the main roller 16 to move rightward, it also drives the driving block 17 to move rightward, and the driving block 17 drives the left end of the articulated arm 13 to rotate through the cam surface 18, so that the right ends of the two articulated arms 13 rotate close to each other, and then drive the two centering rollers 14 to rotate close to each other, so that the two centering rollers 14 and the main rollers 16 move rightward. The rollers 16 move inward synchronously, and at any position in this process, the circumferential surfaces of the two centering rollers 14 and the circumferential surfaces of the main rollers 16 are always tangent to the circumferential surfaces of the corresponding virtual circles, and the inscribed circles of the two centering rollers 14 and the main rollers 16 are always concentric; when the main hydraulic telescopic rod 12 drives the driving block 17 to move left, the driving block 17 drives the articulated arm 13 to rotate through the follower mechanism, so that the left end of the articulated arm 13 is always in contact with the cam surface 18, thereby making the right ends of the two articulated arms 13 The movable centering rollers 14 move away from each other to achieve the purpose of opening the centering mechanism; the cam surface 18 is a continuous and smooth simulation curve. When the driving block 17 moves left and right, the left end of the articulated arm 13 is always in contact with the cam surface 18 of the driving block 17. The cam surface 18 makes the moving position of the centering roller 14 at the right end of the articulated arm 13 always correspond to the moving position of the main roller 16, so that the circumferential surfaces of the two centering rollers 14 and the circumferential surface of the main roller 16 are tangent to a virtual circumferential surface.

Due to the relationship of the arc hole 20, the main pin 22 drives the right ends of the follower plate 19 to move closer to each other, so that the right end of the follower plate 19 drives the left end of the articulated arm 13 to move closer to each other through the cooperation of the sub-pin 23 and the adaptation hole 21, so that the left end of the articulated arm 13 is always in contact with the cam surface 18 of the drive block 17, and then the right end of the articulated arm 13 drives the centering rollers 14 to move away from each other, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the centering mechanism and facilitating the removal of the wheel 7.

[0025] The setting of the arc hole 20 and the adaptation hole 21 of the above-mentioned follower plate 19 must meet two conditions. When the driving block 17 moves to the right, the follower plate 19 follows the movement without interfering with the movement of the left end of the articulated arm 13; when the driving block 17 moves to the left, the follower plate 19 drives the left end of the articulated arm 13 to move closer to each other, so that the left end of the articulated arm 13 is always in contact with the corresponding cam surface 18.

[0038] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the calcined wheel 7 is clamped by a mechanical arm and placed between two centering rollers 14 and a main rolling roller 16. When the driving rod 15 is pushed to move to the right by the main hydraulic telescopic rod 12, the driving block 17 is driven to move to the right. The driving block 17 drives the left end of the articulated arm 13 to rotate through the cam surface 18, thereby causing the right end of the articulated arm 13 to move closer to each other; so that the two centering rollers 14 and the main rolling roller 16 move inward to clamp the tread of the wheel 7. The wheel 7 rotates during hot rolling, driving the main rolling roller 16 and the centering roller 14 to rotate.

[0039] When the drive block 17 moves to the left, since the cam surface 18 of the drive block 17 is away from the left end of the articulated arm 13, the main pin 22 moves linearly to the left at this time. Due to the relationship of the arc hole 20, the main pin 22 drives the right end of the follower plate 19 to move closer to each other, so that the right end of the follower plate 19 drives the left end of the articulated arm 13 to move closer to each other through the cooperation of the sub-pin 23 and the adaptation hole 21, so that the left end of the articulated arm 13 is always in contact with the cam surface 18 of the drive block 17, and then the right end of the articulated arm 13 drives the centering rollers 14 to move away from each other, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the centering mechanism and facilitating the removal of the wheel 7.
