[0019] According to the above technical solution, two hooks are provided on the driving cart.

[0020] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The upper pressing cylinder is located at the bottom of the frame. When leveling, the rolling force needs to overcome the self-gravity of the lower working roll and the lower backup roll. It can ensure that the upper pressing cylinder has a certain output force under a small rolling force, and this output force can avoid the zero-drift range of the servo valve of the upper pressing cylinder, making the planisher still controllable under a small rolling force. This mode is particularly beneficial for leveling soft steel (plain carbon steel). When it is necessary to level steel grades such as high-strength steel, only the rolling force output by the upper pressing cylinder needs to be increased. Therefore, in this patent, by arranging the upper pressing cylinder between the lower backup roll and the bottom of the installation groove, the leveling operations for soft steel such as plain carbon steel and high-strength steel such as alloy steel can be satisfied. In addition, upper and lower backup rolls are arranged at the top and bottom of the upper and lower working rolls respectively, ensuring the synchronization of the transmission of the upper and lower working rolls.

[0022] 2. During the production process, when the working roll has surface defects after leveling the strip steel, this equipment can quickly extract the upper and lower working rolls from the frame for inspection. Since each hook in this equipment is equipped with a hook hydraulic cylinder that independently drives the hook to hook the hook head, this equipment can either extract the upper and lower working rolls for inspection simultaneously or extract any one of the upper and lower working rolls for inspection. And during the roll extraction process, the strip steel is still in the frame, and the production process of the strip steel is not affected. Such inspections are very necessary for the operation and maintenance personnel in the steel mill. If small local defects are detected on the roll, they can be processed on the working roll rack car, and for serious defects, the working roll will be moved to the roll grinding workshop for processing. During the installation and commissioning process, this equipment can also be used to push a single working roll in separately to check the parallelism between the entry and exit rolling line rolls and the working roll.

[0027] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0028] Referring to Figure 1 as shown, the online leveling machine provided by the present utility model

[0029] Example 1

[0030] It includes frames 1 distributed on both sides, and mounting grooves 2 are provided on the frames;

[0031] Horizontally arranged upper support rollers 3, upper working rollers 4, lower working rollers 5 and lower support rollers 6 are sequentially connected from top to bottom in the mounting grooves of the two frames. The bottom of the upper support roller is attached to the top of the upper working roller, and the top of the lower support roller is attached to the bottom of the lower working roller. A gap for passing the strip steel is left between the upper and lower support rollers; a working roller locking device is provided at the end of the working roller;

[0032] A pressing cylinder 7 is provided between the bottom of the lower support roller and the bottom of each mounting groove, and the pressing cylinder is vertically arranged;

[0033] A support roller balancing device 8 is provided between the top of the frame and the top of the upper support roller. When it is necessary to replace the working roller or when not working, the upper support roller is lifted by the support roller balancing device, which is convenient for replacing the upper working roller; in addition, it also plays a role in supporting and limiting the upper working roller.

[0034] In this embodiment, the pressing cylinder is located at the bottom of the frame. When leveling, the rolling force needs to overcome the self-gravity of the lower working roller and the lower support roller; it can ensure that the pressing cylinder has a certain output force at a small rolling force, and this output force can avoid the zero drift range of the servo valve of the pressing cylinder, making the leveling machine still controllable at a small rolling force. This mode is particularly beneficial for leveling soft steel (plain carbon steel). When it is necessary to level steel grades such as high-strength steel, only the rolling force output by the pressing cylinder needs to be increased. Therefore, in this patent, by setting the pressing cylinder between the lower support roller and the bottom of the mounting groove, it can meet the leveling operations for soft steel such as plain carbon steel and high-strength steel such as alloy steel. In addition, upper and lower support rollers are provided at the top and bottom of the upper and lower working rollers, ensuring the synchronization of the transmission of the upper and lower working rollers.

[0035] In Example 1, a rolling line adjusting device 9 is provided between the top of the mounting groove and the upper support roller. It adopts the structural form of a wedge and a stepped plate, and the wedge and the stepped plate are driven by a hydraulic cylinder. By controlling the stroke of the hydraulic cylinder, the rolling line adjusting device is automatically set according to the roll diameter.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The structure and principle of Example 2 are similar to those of Example 1. The differences are as follows: A work roll bending device 10 is provided on the circumferential sides of the upper work roll and the lower work roll. The work roll bending device provides positive and negative bending for the work roll, which has a good control effect on the intermediate wave and the two-side wave of the strip steel, enabling the skin pass mill to have sufficient ability to improve the strip shape. A fixed track is provided on the bending block of the work roll bending device, and rollers matching the fixed track are provided on the upper and lower work rolls. By the mutual cooperation of the rollers and the fixed track, the rollers can quickly move in and out of the frame along the fixed track when changing the rolls, for the quick roll change of the upper and lower work rolls.

[0038] In Examples 1-2, in order to ensure the stability of the strip steel before and after entering and exiting the in-line skin pass mill, a rolling line roll 11 and an entrance anti-wrinkle roll 12 are successively provided in the input direction of the strip steel, and an exit anti-twist roll 13 and a rolling line roll 11 are successively provided in the output direction of the strip steel; the stability of the strip steel before and after entering and exiting the skin pass mill is ensured, and no bad phenomena such as wrinkling or vibration will occur during the skin pass process, affecting the stability of production.

[0039] As Figures 2 to 3 shown, the present utility model also provides a quick roll extraction and roll change device.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] For the above-mentioned in-line skin pass mill;

[0042] It includes a roll stand cart 14 for loading work rolls and a driving cart 15 for pushing or pulling out the work rolls. The roll stand cart and the driving cart are located on the drive side A of the in-line skin pass mill, and the roll stand cart is located between the driving cart and the in-line skin pass mill. Hook heads 16 are provided at the ends of the upper and lower work rolls on the drive side, and a plurality of hooks 17 matching the hook heads are provided on the driving cart. Each hook is equipped with an independent hook hydraulic cylinder 18, and the hook hydraulic cylinder drives the hook to hook or release the hook head; the driving cart drives all the hooks to approach and move away from the hook heads at the ends of the upper and lower work rolls synchronously.

[0043] During the production process in this embodiment, when the work roll has surface defects after passing through the skin pass strip steel, this device can quickly extract the upper and lower work rolls from the frame for inspection. Since each hook in this device is equipped with an independent hook hydraulic cylinder for driving the hook to hook the hook head, this device can not only realize the simultaneous extraction and inspection of the upper and lower work rolls, but also realize the extraction and inspection of any one of the upper and lower work rolls. And during the roll extraction process, the strip steel is still in the frame, and the production process of the strip steel is not affected. Such inspection is very necessary for the operation and maintenance personnel in the steel mill. If small local defects are detected on the roll, they can be processed on the work roll stand cart, and for serious defects, the work roll will be moved to the roll grinding room for processing. During the installation and commissioning process, this device can also be used to push a single work roll in alone, and then check the parallelism between the entrance and exit rolling line rolls and the work roll.

[0044] The specific operation is as follows: when the upper and lower working rolls need to be pulled out or pushed in at the same time, the push roll cylinder inside the driving vehicle is driven to quickly advance to the front of the transmission side frame, and the upper hook and the lower hook are driven by their respective hook hydraulic cylinders to close and hook the hook heads at the ends of the upper and lower working rolls. Then open the locking mechanism of the upper and lower working rolls on the operating side, and the push roll cylinder is quickly retracted to quickly pull out the upper and lower working rolls; perform the opposite action when pushing in. When any of the upper and lower working rolls needs to be pulled out or pushed in, the driving vehicle is also advanced to the front of the frame, and only the hook head of the roller that needs to be pulled out needs to be hooked, and the other hook remains open. The working roll locking mechanism on the operating side is opened, and the push roll cylinder is quickly retracted again to achieve the pulling out of any working roll, and the opposite action is performed when pushing in.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] The structure and principle of Example 2 are similar to those of Example 1, except that it also includes a roll receiving vehicle 19 for receiving the old working rolls, and the roll receiving vehicle is located at the operating side B of the online leveling machine.

[0047] Without affecting the operation of the strip steel, the new working roll can be quickly pushed into the frame and the old working roll can be removed at the same time. Rapid roll changing can improve the success rate of the strip steel, which is crucial for continuous strip steel production units.

[0048] The specific operation of the roll change of this device is as follows: a pair of new working rolls are placed in the appropriate position on the upper and lower tracks of the roll frame car on the transmission side; before replacing the new working rolls, the upper and lower hooks of the roll pusher car are closed under the drive of their respective hydraulic cylinders, and the hooks just hook the hook heads at the ends of the upper and lower working rolls, and the old working rolls in the frame also fall on the fixed track on the bending roll block. At the same time, the working roll connecting car on the operating side also moves to the front of the frame and connects with the fixed track in the frame. After starting the roll change operation, the working roll locking device on the operating side is opened, and the pusher cylinder on the transmission side drives the lower driving car to move forward quickly, pushing the new working roll on the roll frame car into the frame. At the same time, because the new working roll pushes against the old working roll in the frame during the forward movement, when the new working roll moves into the frame from the transmission side, the old working roll moves from the frame to the working roll connecting car on the operating side. Then open the upper and lower working roll hooks, the transmission side pusher car quickly retreats, and before the connecting car on the operating side moves away from the frame, the working roll locking device on the operating side is locked, and the leveling machine is put into operation again.

[0049] In embodiments 1 and 2, two hooks are provided on the driving vehicle.

[0050] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of patent application of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
