Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of continuous casting machines, in particular to a free roll of a continuous casting machine. Background Art
[0002] The continuous casting machine is the core equipment in steelmaking production, which determines the output and quality of billets. The roll is the heart equipment of the continuous casting machine. After the continuous casting machine is used for a period of time, there are some quality problems with new rolls and repaired rolls, such as broken rolls, roll deformation, fish scales on the roll surface, severe wear of the roll surface, burned bearings, burned seals, blockage of the water passage inside the bearing housing, shaft deformation and other faults. No matter which fault occurs, production must be stopped for treatment. Otherwise, the quality of billets will be affected, resulting in quality accidents such as billet stuttering, cracks, depressions, bending, skin turning, dimensional errors or surface wear scratches, etc. Inferior and waste billets are produced, and even larger production equipment accidents are caused, resulting in leakage of molten steel or burning and damage of other equipment in the arc section. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the roll. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a free roll of a continuous casting machine to solve the problems put forward in the above background art.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A free roll of a continuous casting machine, including a roll column, both left and right ends of the roll column are connected with integrally formed shaft heads, the end faces of the shaft heads are respectively provided with a first connection hole and a second connection hole, and several threaded holes are provided on the end face of the left shaft head;
[0005] Both left and right end faces of the roll column are provided with annular grooves, and the annular grooves are internally provided with a first arc portion, a second arc portion, and a third arc portion. The diameter of the first arc portion is 7 mm or 4.5 mm, and the diameters of the second arc portion and the third arc portion are 10 mm and 78 mm respectively. The first arc portion, the second arc portion, and the third arc portion are used to disperse the stress of the shaft head and avoid the problem of broken rolls.
[0006] Furthermore, a central water passing hole is provided inside the roll column, and the central water passing hole is communicated with the first connection hole and the second connection hole, which reduces the weight of the roll column, saves materials, and reduces production costs.
[0007] Furthermore, a wear-resistant layer is welded on the surface of the roll column, which can protect the roll column and improve the service life of the roll column.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0009] (1) The stress at the shaft head part of the roll is relatively concentrated. By redesigning the three radian angles of the annular groove on the shaft head, the stress-bearing area of the roll is large, the stress borne by the shaft head can be dispersed, and the problem of broken rolls is not likely to occur during use.
[0010] (2)The roller is made of 42CrMo alloy structural steel and is forged. The forging ratio is greater than 3.5 to increase the density of the roller. After machining the central water hole and the shaft head position, the roller is heat-treated. In this way, the hardness of the central part of the roller can reach HB300, and the surface hardness can reach HB350. The structure of the roller is more solid and not prone to deformation problems, avoiding problems such as stuttering, cracking, depression, bending, and skin turning of the roller.
[0011] (3)The wear-resistant layer protects the roller. During the use of the roller, the wear-resistant layer is worn first, and the wear-resistant layer can be replenished, extending the service life of the roller. Description of the Drawings
