Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rolling equipment, and particularly relates to a three-roll mill and a roll changing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] For the rolling mill equipment for producing cold-rolled ribbed steel bars with three-sided ribs, the roll rings need to be evenly distributed in three equal parts along the circumference. Due to space structure limitations, it is relatively difficult to arrange the corresponding drive system for this type of rolling mill. Therefore, the existing cold-rolled ribbed steel bars with three-sided ribs are generally produced by the drawing process. The three-roll mill does not have a drive system, but a traction roll is arranged upstream of the rolling mill. The steel bars are wound around the traction roll for several turns, and the driving force generated by the friction of the traction roll is used to pull the steel bars, thereby realizing passive rolling production.
[0003] The new national standard for cold-rolled ribbed steel bars, GB13788-2024, was released and implemented in September 2024. The new standard strictly regulates the shape of the three-sided ribbed steel bars, especially the height of the transverse ribs of the steel bars.
[0004] For the steel bars produced by the drawing process and passive production, since the steel bars must pass through the traction roll after forming, and straight steel bars also need to be straightened by a straightening mechanism during production. These two processes inevitably cause strong friction on the outer circle of the steel bars, especially wear the transverse ribs of the steel bars, and finally result in the product quality not meeting the standard requirements. Summary of the Invention
