Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel rolling equipment, and in particular discloses a flat looper for hot rolling of bars. Background Art

[0002] In the general bar production line, vertical loopers are installed between adjacent frames of the finishing mill to adjust the rolling speed for proper tension control. The rolling hole system adopted is an elliptical-circular hole system, which is arranged alternately horizontally and vertically. When the size of the rolled piece is small, the horizontal and vertical alternating arrangement can be changed to a horizontal arrangement through torsion rolling, so as to reduce the rolling mill replacement time and improve efficiency. However, when the size of the rolled piece is large, the deformation resistance increases, torsion rolling is difficult, and the failure rate is high. Therefore, when the elliptical hole type is a vertical ellipse, the vertical looper cannot be used, resulting in a high steel running failure rate after replacing the finished product rolls, and manual adjustment of the tension is required close to the red steel. Not only is the adjustment accuracy poor, resulting in large deviations in the size of the finished steel bars, but also high operational safety risks. Summary of the Invention
