AI Technical Summary
During the operation of hot rolling mills, the steel plates may experience abnormal overturning, structural failure, equipment damage, and system resonance due to friction and impact loads. Existing solutions have limitations such as failure under high temperature conditions, increased inertial torque, or system complexity.
The system employs a dual-stage protective structure consisting of a mechanical rigid limit module and a dynamic damping module. The vertical displacement of the protective plate is controlled by the fit clearance between the main positioning hole and the positioning shaft of the protective plate. The impact heat is dissipated by a silicone rubber damping layer and a copper heat-conducting foil to prevent the protective plate from flipping over.
It effectively blocks the transmission of impact force, prevents the guard plate from breaking, controls the guard plate swing within a safe range, reduces equipment damage and resonance, and lowers maintenance costs.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of metallurgical rolling mill safety technology, and particularly relates to a rolling mill guard plate anti-overturning limiting protection device and an implementation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the operation process of a hot rolling mill, the guard plate, as a key guiding component, is installed on the lower roll bearing seat through shaft hinging. When high-strength billets are rolled, the billets generate continuous friction force and instantaneous impact load on the guard plate. According to the measured data analysis, the friction force ranges from 8 to 12 kN (kilo Newton), and the impact load peak value exceeds 15 kN. The original design allows the guard plate to freely swing 360 degrees around the shaft, which causes the following technical problems: (1) abnormal overturning phenomenon: the impact force of the billet causes the guard plate to turn up, and the guard plate collides violently with the moving billet; (2) structural failure: the guard plate appears 45-degree angle shear fracture; (3) associated equipment damage: the guide roll is twisted and deformed by more than 5 mm, and the roll surface produces a 0.3 to 0.8 mm deep indentation; (4) system resonance problem: the natural frequency of the guard plate is 3.8 Hz (Hertz), which overlaps with the rolling frequency of 2 to 5 Hz.
[0003] Limitations of existing solutions
[0004] (1) Spring damping scheme: in a high-temperature environment of more than 300 degrees Celsius in the rolling area, the spring element will have a time-dependent failure phenomenon. (2) Counterweight balancing scheme: increasing the counterweight increases the inertial moment, aggravating the mechanical load of the bearing seat. (3) Hydraulic buffer scheme: the system structure is complex, and the daily maintenance cost increases.
[0005] In view of the above factors, a rolling mill guard plate anti-overturning limiting protection device and an implementation method thereof are provided to eliminate the fracture failure caused by abnormal overturning of the guard plate and block the conduction path of the impact force to the roll system.
