[0019] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Side view of;

[0020] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Sectional view along AA;

[0021] Figure 4 for Figure 1 Top view of . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 4 An embodiment of the utility model provides a used roller replacement device, including a roller changing vehicle body 1, on which is provided an old roller box 2, a roller placing platform 4, a lifting drive mechanism 41 for driving the roller placing platform 4 to rise and fall between a roller changing station and a roller handover station, and an old roller transfer mechanism for transferring the roller on the roller placing platform 4 at the roller handover station to the old roller box 2.

[0024] The surface of the roller supporting platform 4 is provided with at least one roller supporting groove 43 suitable for supporting rollers, and one roller supporting groove 43 is located at one end of the roller supporting platform 4 close to the old roller box 2 .

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 4 The old roller transfer mechanism includes a shift rod 71 and a second rotation drive unit 72 for driving the shift rod 71 to rotate; taking the end of the roller groove 43 away from the old roller roller box 2 as the reference slot end, the lateral distance between the rotating axis of the shift rod 71 and any reference slot end is smaller than the rotation radius of the shift rod 71, wherein the lateral direction is the horizontal direction perpendicular to the roller axis.

[0026] The second rotation drive unit 72 may include an automatic drive device such as a motor, or may be driven by a handwheel.

[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4 The roller support platform 4 is provided with a plurality of roller grooves 43, which are arranged in a connected manner in a transverse direction. Based on this solution, the roller support platform 4 can cache multiple rollers, not only multiple old rollers, but also one or more new rollers, which can improve the efficiency and flexibility of the roller replacement operation, including but not limited to:

[0028] Multiple new rollers can be placed on the roller support platform 4, and then the roller support platform 4 is lifted to the roller changing station, so that multiple new rollers can be installed at one time;

[0029] Multiple old rollers can be removed at one time and placed on the roller holding platform 4, and then the roller holding platform 4 is lowered to the roller handover station, and each old roller is placed in the old roller box 2;

[0030] At the roll changing station, the old roll can be removed to the roll supporting platform 4, and then the new roll on the roll supporting platform 4 can be installed on the corresponding equipment (such as a rolling mill), so the old roll removal and new roll installation operations can be completed at the same time.

[0031] The above-mentioned roller grooves 43 are preferably V-shaped grooves or arc-shaped grooves; the roller grooves 43 are preferably shallow grooves to facilitate the rollers to flow between the roller grooves 43.

[0032] In one embodiment, the roller supporting platform 4 includes a platform body and a plurality of supporting seats, and the supporting seats are arranged on the top of the platform body in sequence along the longitudinal direction, and the above-mentioned roller groove 43 is respectively provided on each supporting seat; this structure can not only reduce the weight of the roller supporting platform 4, but also facilitate the arrangement and movement of the old roller transfer mechanism.

[0033] Preferably, a plurality of levers 71 are provided, each lever 71 being spaced apart longitudinally. Each lever 71 is preferably driven by the same rotary drive device. For example, each lever 71 is serially connected to a synchronous connecting rod, which is connected to the second rotary drive unit 72. For the structure with multiple receiving seats, each lever 71 is preferably interspersed and distributed between the receiving seats.

[0034] Since the lateral distance between the rotating shaft of the shift lever 71 and any reference slot end is limited to be smaller than the rotation radius of the shift lever 71, when there are multiple roller grooves 43 distributed laterally, the shift lever 71 can cover each roller groove 43. When the shift lever 71 rotates in the set direction, the rollers on the roller supporting platform 4 can flow between the roller grooves 43, thereby facilitating the smooth delivery of the old rollers into the old roller box 2.

[0035] The vehicle body 1 is preferably provided with traveling wheels 11 , and more preferably provided with a traveling drive mechanism 12 , so that the vehicle body 1 can travel on its own.

[0036] Under the action of the lifting drive mechanism 41, the roller support platform 4 has a roller changing station and a roller handover station. The roller changing operation and the roller handover operation are performed at different heights, and the two operations do not interfere with each other, which can ensure operating space and ensure operational safety. Among them, preferably, the roller changing station is located above the roller handover station.

[0037] In one embodiment, a lifting frame 42 is provided on the vehicle body 1, and the roller support platform 4 is slidably mounted on the lifting frame 42. The lifting drive mechanism 41 can be arranged on the vehicle body 1 or mounted on the lifting frame 42. Preferably, two door-shaped frames are provided on the vehicle body 1 to constitute the aforementioned lifting frame 42; lifting guide rails are provided on the door-shaped frames, and the roller support platform 4 slides along the lifting guide rails to ensure smooth lifting motion.

[0038] The lifting drive mechanism 41 includes but is not limited to linear drive devices such as air cylinders and hydraulic cylinders.

[0039] The used roller box 2 is preferably open at the top to facilitate the placement and removal of rollers. Preferably, a removable baffle 8 is provided on the side of the used roller box 2 facing the roller support platform 4. When the baffle 8 is removed, rollers can be allowed to enter and exit from this side. For example, rollers on the roller support platform 4 can enter the used roller box 2 through this side. When the baffle 8 is installed, the rollers can be prevented from falling out of the used roller box 2, thereby facilitating operations such as lifting the used roller box 2.

[0040] The bottom of the used roller box 2 preferably adopts a frame structure, for example, including a plurality of used roller supporting rods 21 arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. This structure can reduce the weight of the used roller box 2.

[0041] Therefore, when the old roller box 2 is detachably set on the vehicle body 1, the production convenience can be improved. For example, after collecting several old rollers in the old roller box 2, they can be lifted off the vehicle body 1 together. This can prevent the rollers from being lifted on the vehicle body 1, which is safer and more convenient.

[0042] Preferably, the bottom of the used roller box 2 has a slope from the side close to the roller supporting platform 4 to the side away from the roller supporting platform 4, and the old rollers can automatically enter the used roller box 2 by their own weight.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
