[0027] In the existing seamless pipe rolling production line, according to the process from the blank to the finished product, it is generally composed of the following modules in turn: a feeding module, a piercing module, a pipe rolling module, a sizing module, a straightening module, and a finished product collecting module; wherein the core of the seamless pipe rolling is the piercing module and the pipe rolling module: the piercing module obtains a rough pipe after piercing a solid pipe blank, and then pushes the rough pipe into the pipe rolling module to obtain a rough pipe by using a pipe rolling mill; in the process, the rough pipe obtains high-speed rotating power when entering the pipe rolling mill, and is formed by using each roller under the rotating power, and it is found in the process of daily production that when the rough pipe enters the pipe rolling mill to start deformation, the rapid rotation and severe deformation make the rough pipe as a whole in a high-frequency and strong vibration state, which causes irregular bouncing and shaking in the pipe rolling mill die during the rolling deformation of the rough pipe under the combined action of the pipe rolling mill roller and the mandrel, and finally produces a problem of poor wall thickness uniformity of the rough pipe obtained after pipe rolling, which seriously affects the finished product quality of the seamless pipe.

[0028] Therefore, this utility model provides a vertical tube clamping device for a seamless tube rolling production line. The clamping device is configured at the input end of the tube rolling mill. When the tube passes through the clamping area of ​​the clamping device and extends into the tube rolling mill to begin rolling, the first drive cylinder and the second drive cylinder are controlled to operate. A set of upper clamping rollers and a set of lower clamping rollers are used to clamp the tube. The cooperation of each clamping roller allows the tube to rotate within the clamping area and reduces its radial runout and sway amplitude. This is beneficial to improving the wall thickness uniformity of the rough tube obtained after the tube is rolled, and ultimately improving the qualification rate of the finished seamless tube.

[0029] The solution provided by this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This utility model provides a vertical tube clamping device for a seamless tube rolling production line. The seamless tube rolling production line includes a tube rolling mill, and the input end of the rolling mill is equipped with a clamping device for clamping the tube 1 output from the preceding process of the seamless tube rolling production line. Figure 1 As shown, the clamping device includes: an upper mounting base 2, a lower mounting base 3, a power assembly 4, a working assembly 5, and a guide assembly 6.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper mounting base 2 is composed of a horizontal part 201 and a vertical part 202 forming an L-shaped structure, wherein the top end of the vertical part 202 is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal part 201; the lower mounting base 3 is located below the horizontal part 201, and the area between the top of the lower mounting base 3 and the horizontal part 201 is the working area.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments, the upper mounting base 2 and the lower mounting base 3 together form the structural foundation supporting the entire clamping device. In addition, both the upper mounting base 2 and the lower mounting base 3 are made of several steel plates welded together, which is easy to process and has a low cost. Furthermore, in the upper mounting base 2, a set of ribs 203 is provided between the horizontal part 201 and the vertical part 202, which improves the structural strength of the upper mounting base 2.

[0033] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1 , Figures 3-4 As shown, the power assembly 4 includes a first drive cylinder 401 mounted on the horizontal part 201 and a second drive cylinder 402 mounted on the lower mounting base 3.

[0034] The cylinder body of the first drive cylinder 401 is located at the top of the horizontal part 201, and the piston end of the first drive cylinder 401 extends vertically into the working area after passing through the horizontal part 201. In addition, the maximum stroke of the first drive cylinder 401 is 175mm.

[0035] The cylinder body of the second driving oil cylinder 402 is arranged inside the lower mounting seat 3, and the piston end of the second driving oil cylinder 402 penetrates through the lower mounting seat 3 and extends into the working area along the vertical direction, and the maximum stroke of the second driving oil cylinder 402 is 20 mm.

[0036] Based on the above embodiment, the arrangement of the first driving oil cylinder 401 and the second driving oil cylinder 402 makes the position of the clamping area adjustable in the vertical direction, which can adapt to different input end heights of different types of pipe rolling mills. In addition, since the maximum stroke of the first driving oil cylinder 401 is much larger than that of the second driving oil cylinder 402, interference between the blank pipe 1 and the body of the clamping device during the process of feeding the blank pipe 1 into the pipe rolling mill can be avoided. That is, before the blank pipe 1 is fed into the pipe rolling mill, the first driving oil cylinder 401 and the second driving oil cylinder 402 in the clamping device are in the retracted state. When the blank pipe 1 enters the pipe rolling mill and starts to be rolled, the first driving oil cylinder 401 and the second driving oil cylinder 402 are controlled to start to operate, and the blank pipe 1 that has not yet entered the pipe rolling mill is clamped by the working assembly 5.

[0037] Based on the above structure, in the technical solution, as shown in Figures 5-6 the working assembly 5 includes an upper clamping seat 501 arranged at the piston end of the first driving oil cylinder 401 and a lower clamping seat 502 arranged at the piston end of the second driving oil cylinder 402.

[0038] The bottom of the upper clamping seat 501 is rotatably provided with a group of parallel upper clamping rollers 503 through the cooperation of the needle bearing seat 7 and the needle bearing. The top of the lower clamping seat 502 is also rotatably provided with a group of parallel lower clamping rollers 504 through the cooperation of the needle bearing seat 7 and the needle bearing.

[0039] In addition, the group of upper clamping rollers 503 and the group of lower clamping rollers 504 are parallel to and correspond to each other. Based on the above embodiment, when the first driving oil cylinder 401 and the second driving oil cylinder 402 drive the upper clamping seat 501 and the lower clamping seat 502 to approach each other, a clamping area for the blank pipe 1 to pass through is formed at the center of the group of upper clamping rollers 503 and the group of lower clamping rollers 504. On this basis, the circumferential outer surfaces of each upper clamping roller 503 and each lower clamping roller 504 are coated with a wear-resistant coating, so that each upper clamping roller 503 and each lower clamping roller 504 can rotate with the blank pipe 1, thereby avoiding serious wear of the clamping rollers and reducing production costs. In addition, the outer diameter range of the blank pipe 1 clamped by the group of upper clamping rollers 503 and the group of lower clamping rollers 504 is 60 mm to 100 mm. If the diameter of the blank pipe 1 is greater than 100 mm, the clamping rollers, the matching needle bearing seat 7 and the needle bearing can be replaced to expand the application range of the device.

[0040] In the technical solution, the opposite movement of the upper clamping seat 501 and the lower clamping seat 502 is also limited and guided by the guiding effect of the guiding assembly 6. Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the guiding assembly 6 comprises a group of first guiding cylinders 601 arranged on the horizontal part 201, the group of first guiding cylinders 601 penetrates through the horizontal part 201, the inside of each first guiding cylinder 601 is slidably connected with a first guiding rod 602, and the bottom end of each first guiding rod 602 is connected to the top of the upper clamping seat 501.

[0041] In addition, the guiding assembly 6 further comprises a group of second guiding cylinders 603 arranged on the lower mounting seat 3, the group of second guiding cylinders 603 penetrates through the lower mounting seat 3, the inside of each second guiding cylinder 603 is slidably connected with a second guiding rod 604, and the top end of each second guiding rod 604 is connected to the bottom of the lower clamping seat 502.

[0042] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the cooperation of the first guiding cylinder 601 and the first guiding rod 602 and the cooperation of the second guiding cylinder 603 and the second guiding rod 604 realize the stability of the opposite movement of the upper clamping seat 501 and the lower clamping seat 502; on this basis, the positions of the group of first guiding cylinders 601 and the group of second guiding cylinders 603 correspond to each other, and this setting mode makes the structure strength of the clamping device more stable when in use, and makes the clamping effect on the blank pipe 1 better.

[0043] Specifically, when the blank pipe 1 is clamped by the clamping device provided by the utility model, the first driving oil cylinder 401 and the second driving oil cylinder 402 are first in the contracted state, then when the blank pipe 1 obtained in the pre-process of the seamless pipe rolling production line enters the working area, the first driving oil cylinder 401 and the second driving oil cylinder 402 are controlled to operate, when the end part of the blank pipe 1 enters the pipe mill and starts rolling, the first driving oil cylinder 401 and the second driving oil cylinder 402 are controlled to work, and the group of upper clamping rollers 503 and the group of lower clamping rollers 504 immediately clamp the blank pipe 1 which has not entered the pipe mill, the cooperation of the clamping rollers enables the blank pipe 1 to rotate in the clamping area and reduces the radial run-out amplitude and the shaking amplitude, which is beneficial to improving the wall thickness uniformity of the rough pipe obtained after the blank pipe 1 is rolled, and finally improves the qualified rate of the obtained seamless pipe product.

[0044] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above-mentioned is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used for limiting the utility model, although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced equivalently, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
