[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , which is a roll ring replacement device for a cantilever straightening machine, including a frame 1. The frame 1 includes an upper frame 11 and a lower frame 12. The upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 are similar in structure and are both U-shaped, which facilitates connecting the two ends to the guiding structure 2 and then making it convenient for the middle part to approach the straightening machine frame 6, and the two ends are also used for connection and lifting.

[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of clamping devices are provided on the upper frame 11. The number and mutual positional relationship of the clamping devices correspond to the roll rings on the upper layer of the straightening machine. Similarly, the clamping devices on the lower frame 12 correspond to the roll rings on the lower layer of the straightening machine. Lifting screws 13 are provided at the left and right ends of the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12. Pin holes 15 are provided on the lower sides of the left and right ends of the upper frame 11, and positioning pins 16 are provided on the upper sides of the left and right ends of the lower frame 12. In this way, when the upper frame 11 is placed on the lower frame 12, the positioning pins 16 and the pin holes 15 play a role in connecting and positioning. Lifting lugs 14 are also provided at the left and right ends of the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12. The lifting lug 14 is a stepped cylinder and is used to be clamped with the telescopic device so that the telescopic device can push the frame 1 to move horizontally.

[0031] The telescopic device includes a guiding structure 2 connected to the frame 1 and a power structure 3 for driving the frame 1 to move horizontally along the guiding structure 2.

[0032] The guiding structure 2 includes two groups of left and right guiding columns 22. Each group of guiding columns 22 includes two parallel guiding columns 22 arranged vertically. The front ends of each group of guiding columns 22 are fixedly connected to the same connecting plate 21, and the rear ends are fixedly connected to the same hanging plate 23. The hanging plate 23 is provided with a clamping hole 231 for clamping with the lifting lug 14. The left guiding column 22 is clamped with the lifting lug 14 at the left end of the frame 1 through the left hanging plate 23, and the right guiding column 22 is clamped with the lifting lug 14 at the right end of the frame 1 through the right hanging plate 23. In this way, the frame 1 and the guiding structure 2 form a concave structure, and the straightening machine is located in the inner space of the concave structure. A guiding sleeve is sleeved on the guiding column 22, and the guiding sleeve is fixed on the straightening machine frame 6. In this way, as long as the guiding column 22 is driven to move horizontally along the guiding sleeve, the frame 1 can approach or move away from the straightening machine along the direction of the guiding column 22. Moreover, the frame 1 is clamped with the hanging plate 23 through the lifting lug 14 and thus connected to the guiding structure 2. Then, as long as the frame 1 is lifted, the frame 1 can be conveniently connected to or disengaged from the guiding structure 2.

[0033] The power structure 3 includes two hydraulic cylinders 31 corresponding to the two groups of guiding columns 22. Each hydraulic cylinder 31 is arranged parallel to the corresponding guiding column 22, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is connected to the corresponding connecting plate 21. With such an arrangement, the hydraulic cylinder 31 pushes the connecting plate 21 to move, and the connecting plate 21 drives the guiding column 22 to move. In this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 31 is fixed to the straightening machine frame 6 by bolts, and the hydraulic cylinder 31 is arranged parallel in the middle of the two guiding columns 22.

[0034] Among them, the clamping device includes a clamping hole provided on the frame 1 and a plurality of clamping plates arranged around the clamping hole. The frame 1 is also provided with a driving structure for driving the clamping plates to move in and out to clamp and release the roll ring. The driving structure includes two link mechanisms 10 arranged symmetrically left and right. The link mechanism 10 includes an upper shaft 103 and a lower shaft 107 arranged symmetrically up and down. Both the upper shaft 103 and the lower shaft 107 are installed on the frame 1 through bearings. The part of the upper shaft 103 located inside the frame 1 is fixedly connected with an upper connecting rod 102, and the part of the lower shaft 107 located inside the frame 1 is fixedly connected with a lower connecting rod 108. An intermediate rod 104 is also hinged between the upper connecting rod 102 and the lower connecting rod 108. The front end of the upper shaft 103 extends out of the frame 1 and is fixed with an upper clamping plate 101 for clamping the roll ring, and the front end of the lower shaft 107 extends out of the frame 1 and is fixed with a lower clamping plate 109 for clamping the roll ring.

[0035] The clamping device further includes a rotary handle 105 and a fixing pin 106 for fixing the rotary handle 105. The rotary handle 105 is fixed to the rear end of the upper shaft 103 or the lower shaft 107 extending out of the frame 1. In this embodiment, the rotary handle 105 is fixed to the rear end of the lower shaft 107. With this arrangement, by pulling the rotary handle 105, the upper clamping plate 101 and the lower clamping plate 109 can move synchronously to clamp the roller ring. Through the fixing pin 106, the rotary handle 105 can be positioned to maintain the clamped or loosened state.

[0036] When replacing the roller ring, it includes removing the old roller and installing the new roller. Since the frame 1 includes an upper frame 11 and a lower frame 12, all the roller rings can be replaced, or only some of them can be replaced. When replacing some of the roller rings, only the corresponding upper frame 11 or lower frame 12 is needed. Taking the replacement of all the roller rings as an example.

[0037] Steps for removing the old roller:

[0038] Place the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 in the roller ring area.

[0039] Pull the rotary handle 105 to make the clamping devices on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 in the loosened state. Use a crane to lift the upper frame 11 and move it above the lower frame 12, and place the upper frame 11 on the lower frame 12 through the positioning pin 16 and the pin hole 15.

[0040] Loosen the locking devices at the ends of each working roller.

[0041] Start the hydraulic cylinder 31, and the piston rod retracts, making the hanging plate 23 move away from the straightening machine by an appropriate distance, which is convenient for hanging the frame 1 on the hanging plate 23. Take this position as the second position 4.

[0042] Use a crane to hook the lifting screw 13 on the lower frame 12, lift the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 simultaneously, move them to the second position 4, place the lifting lugs 14 on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 into the clamping holes 231 of the hanging plate 23, and remove the hook of the crane. At this time, the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 are already hung on the hanging plate 23.

[0043] Start the hydraulic cylinder 31 again to make the hanging plate 23 move towards the straightening machine until the clamping device of the frame 1 can clamp the roller ring. Take this position as the first position 5.

[0044] Pull the rotary handle 105 to make the clamping devices on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 clamp the roller ring.

[0045] Start the hydraulic cylinder 31 to move the hanging plate 23 to the second position 4. At this time, the roll ring has been completely separated from the work roll. Use a crane to hook the lifting screw 13 on the lower frame 12, and lift the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 carrying the roll ring at the same time, move them to the roll ring area, and then lift the upper frame 11 and place it in the roll ring area.

[0046] Pull the handle to make the clamping devices on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 in the released state. Use a crane or a jib crane to lift the roll rings one by one and place them in the roll ring area.

[0047] Steps for installing a new roll:

[0048] Place the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 in the roll ring area.

[0049] Pull the rotating handle 105 to make the clamping devices on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 in the released state.

[0050] Use a crane or a jib crane to place the roll rings one by one at the clamping devices, so that the center line of the roll ring is basically coincident with the center line of the clamping hole. Pull the rotating handle 105 to clamp the roll ring.

[0051] Lift the upper frame 11 and move it above the lower frame 12. Place the upper frame 11 on the lower frame 12 through the positioning pin 16 and the pin hole 15.

[0052] Start the hydraulic cylinder 31 to move the hanging plate 23 horizontally to the second position 4.

[0053] Lift the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 at the same time and move them above the hanging plate 23. Place the lifting lugs 14 on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 in the clamping holes 231 of the hanging plate 23. At this time, the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 have been hung on the hanging plate 23;

[0054] Start the hydraulic cylinder 31 again to move the hanging plate 23 horizontally to the first position 5. At this time, the roll ring has been inserted into the work roll.

[0055] Pull the rotating handle 105 to make the clamping devices on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 in the released state.

[0056] Lift the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 without roll rings and place them in the roll ring area.

[0057] Lock the end of the work roll.

[0058] As can be seen from the above steps of removing the old roller and installing the new roller, the steps that need to be completed online only include clamping the frame 1 on the hanging plate 23, and the hanging plate 23 moves to install or remove the roller ring set. The remaining steps, including removing the roller ring from the frame 1 or installing the roller ring on the frame 1, etc., are all completed offline, which greatly reduces the parking replacement time, thus achieving replacement within thirty minutes. Secondly, the work of installing or disassembling the roller ring online can be automatically completed by this device, and the worker only needs to pull the rotating handle 105, thereby reducing the labor intensity.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the present technical solution, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
