Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal rolling mills, and more specifically to a connection structure at the roller shafts of a three-roller sizing mill. Background Art

[0002] At present, high-precision three-roller sizing machines are often used to produce high-quality special steel bars or pipes. The principle of the three-roller sizing machine is to achieve metal rolling through the relative movement of three roller rings. The axes of the three roller rings are staggered at an angle of 120 degrees. Each roller ring is provided with a circular arc. The three arcs on the three roller rings form a circular rolling hole. The three-roller sizing machine has the advantages of high deformation efficiency, low energy consumption, low temperature rolling, uniform cross-section deformation, and improved product performance. Therefore, it is widely used at home and abroad.

[0003] The core part of the three-roller sizing machine is composed of three sets of roll assemblies, which are installed in the frame. The core of each roll assembly includes a roll shaft and a roll ring. One end of the roll shaft needs to extend into the frame and be close to the rolling hole, so this end is usually called the insertion end of the roll shaft. The other end of the roll shaft is generally exposed to the frame, so this end is usually called the exposed end of the roll shaft. The roll ring is set on the outside of the roll ring connecting sleeve, such as Figure 1 As shown, the roller ring connecting sleeve 13 is sleeved on the roller shaft 11 and is close to the insertion end of the roller shaft 11. The roller ring connecting sleeve 13 is provided with a bearing inner sleeve 12 on the side of the insertion end facing the roller shaft 11. The bearing inner sleeve 12 is sleeved on the roller shaft 11, and the bearing inner sleeve 12 is connected to the spline cover 14. A threaded hole is coaxially arranged on the spline cover 14, and a through hole is coaxially arranged on the roller shaft 11. A pull rod 15 is coaxially passed through the through hole of the roller shaft 11, and one end of the pull rod 15 is threadedly locked into the threaded hole of the spline cover 14. The other end of the pull rod 15 is locked with a nut 16 at the exposed end of the roller shaft 11. The insertion end of the roller shaft 11 is coaxially provided with an internal spline, and the spline cover 14 is coaxially provided with an external spline. The internal spline of the roller shaft 11 is meshed with the external spline of the spline cover 14. The roller shaft and the bearing inner sleeve of the three-roller sizing mill in the prior art basically adopt the aforementioned connection structure to cope with the impact force during the rolling process.

[0004] However, in this connection structure, an internal spline is arranged at the insertion end of the roller shaft, which results in a smaller number of spline teeth and a smaller profile of the spline teeth. In addition, the spline cover plays a major transmission role and is subject to greater impact.
