Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steel production technology, and in particular relates to a modular rolling mill roll ring cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] In my country, high-speed wire rod production refers to high-speed rolling equipment used in the steel industry for producing steel products. With the diversification of steel demand, high-speed wire rod production technology has continuously innovated, achieving high-speed, high-precision, and high-flexibility production, capable of handling wire rods of various specifications and materials. High-speed bar production lines offer advantages such as high rolling speed, high dimensional accuracy of finished products, good continuous strip quality and surface finish, and accurate and rapid braking. Therefore, in recent years, major steel mills have been building new high-speed bar production lines or converting existing slitting lines into high-speed bar production lines.

[0003] Modular rolling mills are core equipment in high-speed wire rod and high-speed bar production lines. Their main function is to roll steel into specific shapes and sizes, utilizing different roll pass profiles and precise rolling parameters to ensure that the dimensional tolerances, surface quality, and mechanical properties of the finished steel meet standard requirements. The roll cooler is crucial for cooling the rolls, ensuring their lifespan, reducing malfunctions, and maintaining production efficiency. In actual production, ineffective cooling of the rolls often leads to accidents such as "roll bursts," impacting production line efficiency and increasing worker workload. Summary of the Invention
