Specific embodiments

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0025] The traditional bracket structure of the section steel rolling mill generally involves the main motor, the upper and lower main transmission spindles, the upper bearing seat, and the lower bearing seat. The main motor drives the upper and lower main transmission spindles through a coupling to ensure the synchronous rotation of the rolling rolls. The upper and lower bearing seats respectively support the upper and lower main transmission spindles to ensure their stability and accuracy during high-speed rotation. However, the traditional bracket structure is prone to uneven stress problems during long-term operation, resulting in poor balance, affecting the rolling quality and equipment safety. In addition, the traditional bracket structure lacks intuitive detection means, and the operation of adjusting the balance is complex and inefficient, with relatively large potential safety hazards.

[0026] As Figures 1-3 shown, the balance device of the section steel rolling mill bracket of the present utility model includes a balance mechanism main body disposed on the section steel rolling mill bracket; wherein, the section steel rolling mill bracket includes a frame 1, an upper bearing seat 3 slidably installed on the frame 1, and a lower bearing seat 2. The balance mechanism main body includes a balance beam 9 and two pulley brackets 16 disposed on the top of the frame 1. Each pulley bracket 16 is equipped with a pulley 10 at the top; each pulley 10 is equipped with a steel wire rope 12 to form a pulley assembly; the two pulley assemblies are symmetric with respect to the midline of the upper bearing seat 3; the balance beam 9 is connected to the top of the upper bearing seat 3 through a lug 4, that is, the bottom of the lug 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper bearing seat, and the top of the lug 4 is rotatably connected to the center of the balance beam 9 through a first pin shaft 5. And the middle part (or the center point) of the balance beam 9 is hinged to the lug 4, and the midline of the lug 4 is collinear with the midline of the upper bearing seat. Here, it is necessary to maintain the symmetry of the lug, the balance beam, and the pulley assembly with respect to the upper bearing seat to achieve subsequent balance display.

[0027] Both ends of the balance beam 9 are respectively connected to the first ends of the wire ropes 12 of the corresponding pulley assemblies. The second ends of the wire ropes 12 are connected to the corresponding buffers 13. Among them, the function of the buffer is to provide a reverse force when the connecting shaft undergoes a slight deviation, helping the connecting shaft (i.e., the upper bearing block) to return to the central position. The buffer has a certain elasticity and adjustability, and can absorb or release energy. One end of the wire rope is fixed to the top surface of the upper bearing block through the balance beam, and the other end is connected to the buffer through a pulley. When the upper bearing block slides up and down due to the weight of the connecting shaft, the wire rope will also be stretched or relaxed accordingly. Specifically, this solution can visually judge whether the forces on the two wire ropes 12 are uniform by observing whether the balance beam 9 is horizontal, so as to timely discover and adjust the uneven force situation.

[0028] Embodiment 1: Both ends of the balance beam 9 are respectively connected to the corresponding wire ropes 12 through a buffer limit unit. The two buffer limit units are symmetrically arranged relative to the pin shaft 5 and have the same structure. The buffer limit unit includes a baffle 7 and a vertical connecting rod 8. The baffle 7 is horizontally arranged and fixed to the side wall of the bracket 16 of the pulley 10. A through hole is opened on the baffle 7. The bottom end of the connecting rod 8 passes through the through hole and is rotatably connected to the balance beam 9 through the pin shaft 2 6. The top end of the connecting rod 8 is connected to the corresponding wire rope 12. The buffer limit unit can absorb and relieve external impacts and increase the stability of the system. It can also prevent overstretching. Through the cooperation of the connecting rod 8 and the baffle plate 7, the wire rope 12 can be prevented from being overstretched, protecting the wire rope from damage.

[0029] Embodiment 2: The buffer 13 includes a buffer block 17 fixed to the frame 1, an upper housing 19, and a lower housing 20. Among them, the upper housing 19 is fixed below the buffer block 17. One end of the lower housing 20 is slidably connected to the inside of the upper housing 19. The other end of the lower housing 20 is fixedly connected with an adjusting nut 14. One end of a screw 15 passes through the adjusting nut 14, the lower housing 20, the upper housing 19, and the buffer block 17 in sequence, and the protruding end is connected to the corresponding wire rope 12; and the screw 15 is threadedly connected to the adjusting nut 14; A compression spring 18 is sleeved on the screw 15. One end of the compression spring 18 abuts against the inner wall of the upper housing 19, and the other end of the compression spring 18 abuts against the inner wall of the lower housing 20. A part of the lower housing 20 is always located inside the upper housing 19. Both the upper and lower housings 20 are cylindrical structures with one end open. A nut is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw 15 to prevent the screw 15 from becoming disengaged due to the failure of the adjusting nut 14. The sliding connection between the lower housing 20 and the upper housing 19 allows the lower housing 20 to move axially when subjected to the pulling force from the wire rope 12 without generating lateral displacement, ensuring the linearity and efficiency of the buffer operation.

[0030] Specifically, the design of compression spring 18 can effectively absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting wire rope 12 and other components from damage. It is also adjustable, allowing the length of screw 15 to be adjusted by adjusting nut 14, thereby adjusting the preload force of buffer 13 to adapt to different working conditions.

[0031] In Example 3, the upper and lower shells of the buffer are both cylindrical structures with one end open, wherein one end of the lower shell extends into the upper shell, and the two are slidably connected; a portion of the lower shell is always located inside the upper shell.

[0032] The following describes the use of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and technical solutions:

[0033] 1. When the two steel wire ropes on the left and right sides of the steel rolling mill bracket are unevenly stressed, the balance beam cannot remain horizontal (the end with greater force will tilt upward), and the spring installed on the connecting rod will be compressed by the balance beam at the upward end.

[0034] 2. When the operator observes and finds that this situation occurs, he manually adjusts the relative position of the adjusting nut at the lower end of the buffer on the screw rod through a wrench, thereby tightening or loosening the corresponding length of the wire rope.

[0035] 3. After adjustment, make sure the balance beam is basically horizontal and the spring lengths on both sides of the balance beam remain basically the same.

[0036] 4. The function of the baffle is to limit the two ends of the balance beam to prevent the steel wire from breaking or the phenomenon of running away when the balance beam tilts greatly.

[0037] 5. A nut is provided at the lower end of the screw. Firstly, it can prevent the screw from passing through the buffer and causing a runaway phenomenon when the adjustment nut fails. Secondly, when adjusting the tension of the wire rope, one person can fix the nut of the screw with a wrench while another person tightens the adjustment nut with a wrench.

[0038] In summary, the core technical solution for the steel mill bracket balancing device of this utility model lies in the installation of a balancing beam structure on top of the upper bearing seat. This solution allows operators to quickly determine whether the steel wire ropes on both sides, which maintain balance, are evenly tensioned by visually observing whether the balancing beam is horizontal. This intuitive detection method not only simplifies the inspection process but also allows operators to take immediate measures to adjust the steel wire ropes if uneven tension is detected, thereby greatly reducing the risk of accidents caused by wire rope breakage due to uneven tension.

[0039] Moreover, a screw is installed on the buffer of the rolling mill bracket in the present utility model. A nut is fixedly connected to the lower end of the screw, and the nut can prevent the screw from being tripped due to the failure of the adjusting nut. At the same time, when adjusting the length of the wire rope, the adjusting nut can be screwed after fixing the screw nut, which is convenient for adjusting the tightness of the wire rope.

[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features. Therefore, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
