Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rolling rollers, in particular to a rolling idle roller. Background Art

[0002] Rebar is widely used in industrial construction and is an essential material for urban development, making its quality crucial. During the production process, rebar undergoes roller slabbing before and after rough, intermediate, and finishing rolling. These rollers reduce surface damage caused by friction during production, minimizing issues such as substandard surface quality. They convert sliding friction between the workpiece and the guide grooves into rolling friction, ensuring that the rolling speed remains constant. However, due to long-term use, the surface of the rollers is susceptible to wear. The roller bearings, exposed to prolonged heat, can deteriorate the lubricating oil, leading to lubrication failure and ultimately bearing damage, which in turn damages the rollers. Publication number CN108787754B discloses an internally cooled, self-temperature-controlled roll, comprising a passive neck, a roll body, and an active neck. The passive neck and active neck are fixed to opposite ends of the roll body, respectively. The roll body is hollow, and the passive neck is provided with a liquid collection chamber connected to the interior of the roll body. The internally cooled, self-temperature-controlled roll also includes a liquid guide installed within the liquid collection chamber and the roll body. The liquid guide comprises an inlet pipe and a guide tube. The gap between the guide tube and the inner wall of the roll body forms a heat exchanger. Coolant enters the internally cooled, self-temperature-controlled roll from the inlet pipe and flows through the heat exchanger, removing heat from the roll body and cooling it. By designing the roll body as a hollow interior and utilizing the space within the interior for the liquid guide, the roll temperature is automatically controlled during service, eliminating the need for water cooling of the roll surface. This prevents leaching of the workpiece and enables a water-free cooling process for the roll surface and workpiece during hot continuous rolling of steel. In the above-mentioned patent scheme, its internally cooled self-temperature-controlled rolling mill also includes a liquid guide, which is installed in the liquid collecting chamber and the inside of the roller body, and forms a working layer transition layer and an inner layer, etc. Its essence is to form a circuitous heat exchange flow channel in the structure, but the circuitous heat exchange flow channel of the above-mentioned self-cooling rolling mill scheme forms a multi-layer structure which is too complicated, difficult to process, and high in cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a rolling idler roller to solve the problems that traditional heat exchange channels are too complicated, difficult to process and high in cost.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is:

[0005] A rolling idle roller comprises a bearing seat and a roller shaft arranged in pairs, and the two bearing seats are arranged alternately and parallel to each other; the roller shaft comprises an inner shaft, a roller and two end covers, each end of the inner shaft corresponds to a bearing for rotation connection, the roller is coaxially sleeved in the middle of the inner shaft, a flow gap is provided between the inner wall of the roller and the outer wall of the inner shaft, each end of the roller is provided with an end cover, and both ends of the roller are sealed with the outer wall of the inner shaft through the end cover; one end of the inner shaft is provided with a liquid inlet channel, and the other end is provided with a liquid outlet channel, and the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel are both connected to the flow gap.

[0006] Furthermore, the end cover is annular, the outer edge of the end cover is sealed to the inner wall of the roller, and the inner edge of the end cover is sealed to the outer wall of the inner shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the roller is provided with a first step surface, and the inner edge of the end cover is pressed on the first step surface; the outer wall of the inner shaft is provided with a second step surface, and the inner edge of the end cover is pressed on the second step surface.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of recessed grooves are provided on the outer wall of the roller, and the recessed grooves are arranged along the axial direction of the roller, and a wear-resistant strip is embedded in each recessed groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel are both T-shaped structures, the vertical end of the T-shaped structure is coaxially arranged with the inner shaft, the horizontal end of the T-shaped structure is arranged along the radial direction of the inner shaft, and both ends of the horizontal end of the T-shaped structure are connected to the flow gap.

[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. The utility model changes the original bearing installation inside the roller into a bearing installation outside the roller, and adds a bearing seat, thereby reducing the problem of severe heating of the bearing and thus reducing bearing damage; at the same time, a cooling water channel is formed by the liquid inlet channel, the circulation gap and the liquid outlet channel. The cooling water can contact the roller through the circulation gap and take away the heat of the roller to achieve cooling, which can protect the bearing and increase the service life of the roller; and the cooling water channel of the utility model is a single-layer arrangement, which has a simple structure and is less difficult to process and assemble than the cooling water channel with multiple layers, which can reduce the cost.

[0013] 2. The utility model is provided with a first step surface and a second step surface, which facilitates the installation and sealing setting of the end cover and improves the reliability of the device; by providing wear-resistant strips, the wear resistance of the roller surface is greatly improved, which can reduce the problem of failure of the empty roller due to surface wear.

[0014] 3. The liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel of the utility model are both T-shaped structures, which are easy to process. The liquid inlet channel or the liquid outlet channel can be formed by only drilling holes axially at the end of the inner shaft and radially in the middle of the inner shaft, which further simplifies the complexity of the device and further improves the cost and easy processing advantages of the device.
