Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling devices, in particular to a working roll cooling device. Background Art

[0002] The roll is an important component of the rolling mill. During long-term steel rolling on the rolling line of the hot-rolled plate working roll, a large amount of residual heat accumulates inside the roll. It is necessary to conduct sufficient and uniform cooling to eliminate the residual heat generated due to rolling. Therefore, reasonably cooling the rolled-off roll to ensure the uniformity of the surface temperature of the roll is an important measure to ensure the accuracy of the roll during the grinding of the hot-rolled working roll, and it is also an important factor to ensure the shape of the hot-rolled plate.

[0003] Currently, in the production line of the hot-rolled plate mill, the cooling device for the rolled-off working roll mostly adopts the top-down spray cooling. For example, CN205701857U discloses a working roll cooling device. This device places the working roll in a cooling pool with an arc-shaped groove, and by setting side spray pipes, top spray pipes, middle spray pipes, and bottom spray pipes in the cooling pool, and setting nozzles on the spray pipes to spray water on the working roll for cooling. The structure is complex and the operation is inconvenient. Moreover, due to space limitations, it can only cool a single working roll of a certain specification and cannot be used to cool the working roll of the finishing mill with a bearing seat, so the applicability is not good. At the same time, since the cooling water sprays from multiple directions at the bottom, side, middle, and bottom, the water sprayed from the upper part will flow to the bottom of the working roll under the influence of gravity, resulting in more cooling water sprayed on the bottom of the working roll due to the spraying in the middle and bottom parts. This causes uneven cooling effects on the upper and lower parts of the working roll, and the cooling water sprayed in the middle and bottom is not fully utilized, resulting in waste of water resources. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a working roll cooling device, which overcomes the problems in the prior art such as complex structure, inconvenient operation, low water source utilization rate resulting in waste, and poor applicability due to space limitations, which can only cool a single specification working roll.

[0033] The following further describes the present utility model with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0034] Figures 1-5 As shown, there is a work roll cooling device, which includes: a base surface 1, on which there is one cooling station or two or more mutually parallel cooling stations for placing work rolls 8. Each cooling station places one work roll 8 or two work rolls 8. Both ends of the work roll 8 are supported by roll brackets 2 coaxially fixed on the base surface 1; on both sides of the cooling station on the base surface 1, a spray cooling system 3 is symmetrically arranged to spray-cool the work roll 8; the spray cooling system 3 includes: a main water pipe 31, a main water pipe 32, connecting branch pipes 33, spray pipes 34 and nozzles 35. One end of the main water pipe 31 is connected to a water source, and the other end is connected to the main water pipe 32. The spray pipes 34 are communicated with the main water pipe 32 through the connecting branch pipes 33. The spray pipes 34 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the work roll 8 through a support frame 36. The two spray pipes 34 are provided with nozzles 35 that are inclined upward at a spraying angle at intervals and symmetrically, and the sprayed cooling water converges above the central axis of the work roll 8 to form a water curtain to spray-cool the work roll 8 with a water curtain; between the main water pipe 31 and the main water pipe 32, and between the spray pipes 34 and the main water pipe 32, there are also electric control valves 5 electrically connected to the electric control operating system 7 respectively to control the water spray amount, water spray time and automatic switch operation of the main water pipe 31 and each spray pipe; the electric control valve 5 can be set as an electric control valve with manual adjustment and switching; a water collection system 4, which is mutually communicated and arranged on the base surface 1 for collecting and discharging the cooling water on the base surface 1.

[0035] The cooling device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is applicable to the cooling of work rolls of different specifications. Simply place the work roll 8 directly on the roll bracket 2 without size specifications. The finishing work roll with a bearing housing can be directly placed on the roll bracket 2.
