Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of continuous casting roll technology, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for repairing continuous casting roll bearing housings. Background Technology

[0002] A continuous casting roll bearing housing is a component used to install and secure the continuous casting roll. It bears the weight of the roll and ensures its stability and accuracy during rotation through precise fit. The design of the continuous casting roll bearing housing usually takes into account the working environment and stress conditions of the roll, and is made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials to ensure its long-term stable operation. In addition, the bearing housing also needs to have good lubrication performance to reduce friction and wear and extend its service life. During the continuous casting process, damage or wear to the bearing housing can lead to instability of the roll, which in turn affects the quality of the billet and the efficiency of continuous casting. Therefore, timely and effective repair of the continuous casting roll bearing housing is crucial.

[0003] According to patent document CN119304506A, a novel auxiliary device and repair method for repairing continuous casting roll bearing seats are disclosed. It includes: a rotating support placed on a worktable for supporting and positioning the repair device; a vibration module vertically and rotatably mounted on the top of the rotating support for vibrating a support plate and a clamping assembly mounted on the top of the support plate to relieve stress; a support plate fixed above the vibration module; and a clamping assembly mounted on the support plate, the clamping assembly including a handle and two limiting plates. By rotating the clamping assembly, the distance between the two limiting plates is reduced, causing the two limiting plates to clamp the continuous casting roll bearing seat. This invention can improve repair quality and work efficiency, and also enhances operational safety and convenience.

[0004] During continuous casting operations, the bearing housing is subjected to harsh working environments such as high temperature, heavy load, and impact for a long time, which can easily lead to failures such as wear, cracks, and deformation. Due to the high-speed rotation and frequent start-stop of the continuous casting roll, the bearings inside the bearing housing exert significant pressure and friction on it, thereby accelerating the damage of the bearing housing. In addition, traditional maintenance methods often require replacing the entire bearing housing or performing complex welding and machining procedures, which leads to high maintenance costs.

[0040] When repairing the continuous casting roll bearing housing, the bearing housing is first placed inside the two clamping plates 516. Then, by retracting the hydraulic push rod 55, the push-pull plate 56 is moved along the direction of the guide rod 54, causing the rotating rod 59 to rotate within the hinge groove 58 of the push-pull plate. Simultaneously, this drives the triangular rotating plate 513 to rotate, causing the clamping plate connecting block 514 to rotate within the U-shaped hinge block 510 via the rotating short rod 511 and the cylindrical rotating block 512. The two sets of clamping plates 516 move towards each other under the action of the clamping plate connecting plate 515 until the bearing housing is clamped and fixed. At this point, the inverted T-shaped sliding groove rod 46 drives the detection head 47 to move, inspecting the bearing... The bearing housing is inspected at different positions. After inspection, the data for repair required for the bearing housing is transmitted to an external processor. The processor sets the control program for the robotic arm 2 based on the received data. Then, the motor 39 starts, driving the turntable 310 to rotate. The turntable 310 drives the second turntable 312 to rotate via the track 311. The second turntable 312 drives the lead screw 316 to rotate. The lead screw 316 drives the rotation control block 319 to move via the transmission block 3110. The rotation control block 319 can control the entire bearing housing connecting mechanism 5 to rotate for better inspection and repair. The rotation control block 319 moves upward, thereby driving the bearing housing connecting mechanism 5 to rotate. The fixed bearing housing is moved upwards to a region close to the multiple robotic arms 2, allowing the robotic arms to better repair the bearing housing. Simultaneously, the rotation control block 319 moves upwards, causing the V-shaped rotating rod 317 to rotate. The V-shaped rotating rod 317 causes the lifting plate 318 to descend along the upright rod 34. The lifting plate 318 causes the Z-shaped pull rod 49 to descend. The Z-shaped pull rod 49, through the bidirectional hinge block 48, causes the triangular rotating block 44 to rotate. The triangular rotating block 44 causes the inverted T-shaped slide rail connecting rod 45 to rotate. The inverted T-shaped slide rail connecting rod 45 causes the inverted T-shaped slide rail 46 to rotate. The inverted T-shaped slide rail 46 then drives the detection head 47 to... The detection head 47 is rotated from a vertical to a horizontal position, providing more operating space for the robotic arm 2 to repair the bearing housing. After the detection head 47 moves to the designated position, the processor controls the corresponding robotic arm 2 to work according to the received data. If the surface of the bearing housing needs to be cleaned, the processor controls the electroplating to clean the surface of the bearing housing. If the surface of the bearing housing needs to be repaired, the processor controls the welding head to weld and repair the surface of the bearing housing. If the surface of the bearing housing needs to be strengthened, the processor controls the grinding head to grind and strengthen the surface of the bearing housing, thereby improving the repair efficiency of the continuous casting roll bearing housing.

[0041] In addition, the present invention also relates to a method for repairing a continuous casting roll bearing housing, comprising the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: Place the continuous casting roll bearing housing to be repaired inside the two clamping plates 516 in this device. The clamping plates 516 tightly hold the bearing housing by the contraction force of the hydraulic push rod 55, ensuring its stability during the inspection and repair process.

[0043] Step 2: The inverted T-shaped sliding rod 46 drives the detection head 47 to move along the set trajectory to perform a comprehensive inspection of the bearing housing, collect and analyze the damage data of the bearing housing, and provide an accurate basis for subsequent repair work.

[0044] Step 3: Based on the detection data, the processor automatically selects the appropriate repair tool, such as an electroplating head, a welding head, or a grinding head, and sets the corresponding repair program;

[0045] Step 4: Start robotic arm 2 and, according to the processor's instructions, precisely perform the repair operation to clean, repair, or strengthen the surface of the bearing housing;

[0046] Step 5: After the repair is completed, the detection head 47 is driven again by the inverted T-shaped slide bar 46 to perform a re-inspection to ensure that the repair quality meets the requirements;

[0047] Step Six: Finally, by extending the hydraulic push rod 55, the clamp 516 is released, and the repaired continuous casting roll bearing seat is taken out, completing the entire repair process.

[0048] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When repairing the continuous casting roll bearing housing, the bearing housing is first placed inside the two clamping plates 516. Then, by retracting the hydraulic push rod 55, the push-pull plate 56 is pulled to move along the direction of the guide rod 54, causing the rotating rod 59 to rotate within the hinge groove 58 of the push-pull plate. Simultaneously, this drives the triangular rotating plate 513 to rotate, causing the clamping plate connecting block 514 to rotate within the U-shaped hinge block 510 via the rotating short rod 511 and the columnar rotating block 512. The two sets of clamping plates 516 move towards each other under the action of the clamping plate connecting plate 515 until the bearing housing is clamped and fixed. At that time, the inverted T-shaped sliding rod 46 drives the detection head 47 to move and detect different positions of the bearing housing. After the detection is completed, the data of the bearing housing that needs to be repaired is transmitted to the external processor. The processor sets the control program of the robotic arm 2 according to the received data. Then, the motor 39 starts and drives the turntable 310 to rotate. The turntable 310 drives the second turntable 312 to rotate through the track 311. The second turntable 312 drives the lead screw 316 to rotate. The lead screw 316 drives the rotation control block 319 to move through the transmission block 3110. The rotation control block 319 moves upward and thus drives the rotation control block 319 to move. The bearing housing connecting mechanism 5 drives the fixed bearing housing to move upward to the area close to the multiple robotic arms 2. At the same time, the rotation control block 319 moves upward, causing the V-shaped rotating rod 317 to rotate. The V-shaped rotating rod 317 drives the lifting plate 318 to descend along the upright 34. The lifting plate 318 drives the Z-shaped pull rod 49 to descend. The Z-shaped pull rod 49 drives the triangular rotating block 44 to rotate through the bidirectional hinge block 48. The triangular rotating block 44 drives the inverted T-shaped slide rail connecting rod 45 to rotate. The inverted T-shaped slide rail connecting rod 45 drives the inverted T-shaped slide rail 46 to rotate. 46 drives the detection head 47 to rotate, causing the detection head 47 to flip from a vertical position to a horizontal position, so as to provide a larger operating space for the robotic arm 2 to repair the bearing seat. After the detection head 47 moves to the designated position, the processor controls the corresponding robotic arm 2 to work according to the received data. If the surface of the bearing seat needs to be cleaned, the processor controls the electroplating to work to clean the surface of the bearing seat. If the surface of the bearing seat needs to be repaired, the processor controls the welding head to work to weld and repair the surface of the bearing seat.
