[0017] In this invention, the steel strip enters the rolling mill section after being drawn from the feed roller. Two guide rollers limit the steel strip on both sides, ensuring that the steel strip moves in a relatively centered position during rolling. A guide roller protection component on the guide rollers prevents direct contact between the steel strip and the guide roller surface, thus extending the service life of the guide rollers. A quick-release assembly allows for fixing and unlocking of the guide roller protection component. When the guide roller protection component becomes worn, it can be released using the quick-release assembly, and the worn component can be removed. A synchronous lifting mechanism allows the two guide rollers to move up and down simultaneously at a uniform speed, preventing prolonged point-line contact between the guide rollers and the side of the steel strip, which could cause notches on the guide rollers. This further extends the service life of the guide rollers and ensures limiting accuracy, guaranteeing accurate centering of the steel strip. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 A wear-resistant guide wheel mechanism includes a base plate 1. A synchronous lifting mechanism 4 for controlling the up-and-down movement of guide wheels 2 is installed on the top of the horizontal plate of the base plate 1. Two symmetrical guide wheels 2 are installed on the left and right sides of the top of the synchronous lifting mechanism 4. Each guide wheel 2 is equipped with a guide wheel anti-wear mechanism 3 to extend the service life of the guide wheel 2. The guide wheel anti-wear mechanism 3 includes a guide wheel protection component 31 for protecting the guide wheel 2 and a quick-release component 32 for quickly replacing the guide wheel protection component 31. Multiple guide wheel protection components 31 are installed on the outer side of each guide wheel 2. The quick-release component 32 is installed on the top of the guide wheel 2, and the guide wheel protection component 31 is connected to the quick-release component 32.

[0028] In this invention, the steel strip enters the rolling mill section after being drawn out from the feed roller. Two guide rollers 2 limit the two sides of the steel strip, ensuring that the steel strip moves in a relatively centered position during rolling. The guide roller protection component 31 set on the guide roller 2 can prevent the steel strip from directly contacting the surface of the guide roller 2, thereby extending the service life of the guide roller 2. The guide roller protection component 31 can be fixed and unlocked by the quick-release component 32. When the guide roller protection component 31 is worn, it can be unlocked by the quick-release component 32 and the worn guide roller protection component 31 can be removed. The synchronous lifting mechanism 4 allows the two guide rollers 2 to move up and down at a uniform speed simultaneously, avoiding prolonged point-line contact between the guide rollers 2 and the side of the steel strip, which could cause notches in the guide rollers 2. This improves the service life of the guide rollers 2 and ensures the limiting accuracy, guaranteeing the accurate centering of the steel strip.

[0029] In some embodiments, the synchronous lifting mechanism 4 includes a drive assembly and a lifting assembly. The drive assembly and the lifting assembly are mounted on the top of the horizontal plate of the base plate 1, and the two lifting assemblies are symmetrically mounted on the left and right sides of the drive assembly.

[0030] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a motor 41, a T-type reducer 42, and lead screws 43. The T-type reducer 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the transverse plate of the base plate 1. The motor 41 is fixedly installed at the front end of the T-type reducer 42, and the output end of the motor 41 is fixedly connected to the input end of the T-type reducer 42. The two lead screws 43 are respectively located on both sides of the T-type reducer 42, and the output end of the T-type reducer 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the two lead screws 43 that is close to each other. The ends of the two lead screws 43 that are opposite to each other are respectively connected to two lifting assemblies.

[0031] The lifting assembly includes a push wedge 44, a horizontal guide rail 45, a lifting wedge 46, and a vertical guide rail 47. The threads on the two lead screws 43 are in opposite directions, and the opposite ends of the two lead screws 43 are respectively inserted into the internal threads of the two push wedges 44. The two horizontal guide rails 45 are respectively fixedly installed on the top left and right sides of the horizontal plate of the base plate 1. The bottom of the two push wedges 44 is respectively limited and slidably connected to the two horizontal guide rails 45. The two vertical guide rails 47 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner side walls of the two vertical plates of the base plate 1. The opposite ends of the two lifting wedges 46 are respectively limited and slidably connected to the two vertical guide rails 47. The top inclined surface of the push wedge 44 on the same side is limited and slidably connected to the bottom inclined surface of the lifting wedge 46. The two guide wheels 2 are respectively rotatably installed on the top of the two lifting wedges 46.

[0032] In this invention, when the two guide wheels 2 limit the two sides of the steel strip, the motor 41 drives the T-type reducer 42 to rotate, causing the lead screws 43 on both sides of the T-type reducer 42 to rotate simultaneously. The two pushing wedges 44 move in opposite directions along the horizontal guide rail 45 on the same side, and during the movement of the pushing wedges 44, they push the lifting wedges 46 to move upward along the vertical guide rail 47, so that the two guide wheels 2 rise at a constant speed. After the two guide wheels 2 have been running for a period of time, the motor 41 drives the two pushing wedges 44 to move in a closer direction, and the two lifting wedges 46 move downward, so that the two guide wheels 2 descend at a constant speed. Repeating the above operation avoids the outer side of the guide wheel 2 from being in direct point-to-line contact with the side of the steel strip for a long time, which would cause the guide wheel 2 to develop a notch.

[0033] In some embodiments, the guide wheel protection assembly 31 includes slots 311 and protective plates 312. Multiple slots 311 are provided on the top edge of the guide wheel 2. The multiple slots 311 are evenly distributed in a circumferentially spaced manner on the top of the guide wheel 2. Multiple protective plates 312 are sequentially contacted and connected to the outer circumferential wall of the guide wheel 2. The protrusions provided on the inner side of the multiple protective plates 312 are respectively inserted into the multiple slots 311. The outer side of the protective plates 312 is coated with a wear-resistant coating. The inner side of the protective plates 312 that is in contact with the guide wheel 2 is made of rubber. 311 is a non-through groove. One side of the slot 311 extends through to the outer circumferential wall of the guide wheel 2.

[0034] The quick-release assembly 32 includes a fixing ring 321, a fixing block 322, a sliding groove 323, a sliding baffle 324, and a return spring 325. The fixing ring 321 is fixedly installed at the top center of the guide wheel 2. Multiple fixing blocks 322 are fixedly installed at the top edge of the guide wheel 2, and the multiple fixing blocks 322 are distributed circumferentially at equal intervals on the top of the guide wheel 2. A through sliding groove 323 is provided in the middle of the fixing block 322. The sliding baffle 324 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 323. The outer end of the return spring 325 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the sliding baffle 324. The inner end of the return spring 325 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring 321. The bottom surface of the sliding baffle 324 is slidably connected to the top surface of the protective plate 312. The outer end of the sliding baffle 324 can slide to cover the top opening of the slot 311.

[0035] In this invention, after the steel strip is drawn out from the feed roller, it enters the rolling mill section. The protective plates 312 on the two guide rollers 2 contact the side of the steel strip, thereby preventing the surface of the guide rollers 2 from directly contacting the side of the steel strip, thus improving the service life of the guide rollers 2. When the protective plate 312 is worn, it is only necessary to pull the sliding baffle 324 corresponding to the worn protective plate 312 inward, so that the sliding baffle 324 compresses the return spring 325 inward until the sliding baffle 324 leaves the top opening of the slot 311. At this time, the sliding baffle 324 releases the restriction on the top of the protective plate 312. Then, the protective plate 312 is pulled out upward, and a new protective plate 312 is installed.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
