Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rolling mills, in particular to a rolling mill pressure sensor protection device. Background Art

[0002] The finishing mill pressure is detected by a pressure sensor installed on the arch base.

[0003] Existing pressure sensor protection utilizes only a surface-mounted cover, resulting in an open assembly. This allows water, oil sludge, and metal sheets to enter the pressure sensor and cover. This poor waterproofing results in the pressure sensor being immersed in water and oil sludge for extended periods, causing frequent damage and further corrosion of the pressure sensor cover, leading to poor contact surfaces. This impacts rolling mill accuracy and shortens the life of the pressure sensor due to the uneven load-bearing surface.

[0004] Existing patent CN202366950U discloses a pressure sensor fixture for a refining mill, comprising a base and a machine base, the machine base being fixed to the base, a pressure sensor being fixed to the machine base, and drainage grooves being provided in the middle of both sides of the machine base. This patent lacks a protective device for the pressure sensor, making it susceptible to damage when exposed to contaminants such as oil sludge. Summary of the Invention

The cover plate is connected to the base with bolts, and sealant is applied to the connection between the cover plate and the base.

[0008] The base is a frame structure composed of two plywood and two end plates. The two plywood are clamped on both sides of the pressure sensor and are bolted to the rolling mill arch. The lower part of the plywood is provided with a through slot 1 for placement and positioning, and the upper part of the plywood is provided with a through slot 2 for matching the connection cover plate.

[0009] The second through slot of the clamping plate is connected by cooperating with the edge protrusion of the cover plate, and the cover plate and the clamping plate are connected by fastening bolts. A gap is provided between the plane of the second through slot and the bottom surface of the edge protrusion of the cover plate.

[0010] The fastening bolt is provided with a disc spring.

[0011] The positioning plate is connected to the rolling mill arch with bolts.

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
