The ring piece 8 is placed on the balls 12, the main roller 2 and the core roller 3 are clamped in the ring piece 8 along the horizontal direction, and the two taper rollers 4 are clamped in the ring piece 8 along the vertical direction. The main roller 2 drives the rotation of the ring piece 8 and the core roller 3, and the ring piece 8 rolls in cooperation with the plurality of balls 12.

[0024] The existing horizontal ring rolling machine rotates in place, the core roller 3 is arranged in the ring piece 8 and abuts against and rolls the ring piece 8 towards the main roller 2, the rotation of the main roller 2 drives the rotation of the ring piece 8 and the core roller 3 (the rotation direction of the main roller 2 is opposite to the rotation direction of the core roller 3, and the rotation direction of the ring piece 8 is the same as the rotation direction of the core roller 3), thereby realizing the radial rolling of the ring piece 8. The ring piece 8 is clamped between the two taper rollers 4, and the rotation speed of the taper roller 4 is the same as that of the main roller 2 and the core roller 3, and the axial rolling of the ring piece 8 is realized by the rolling of the two taper rollers 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first direction is the width direction of the workbench 1, and the second direction is the length direction of the workbench 1. The ring piece 8 is clamped between the main roller 2 and the core roller 3 along the second direction, and the core roller is arranged in the middle of the workbench 1 along the first direction.

[0026] Along the length of the worktable 1, the main rolling roller 2 is located in front of the worktable 1, and the two conical rollers 4 are located behind the worktable 1; along the width of the worktable 1, the core roller 3 is located in the middle of the worktable 1; furthermore, when the ring rolling machine is not working, the core roller 3 is located above the center line of the worktable 1, and when the ring rolling machine is working, the core roller 3 is located in the middle of the worktable 1.

[0029] The worktable 1 is provided with multiple balls 12, and the ring 8 is placed on the balls 12. The balls 12 are limited in the groove 11 and can rotate in all directions in the groove 11. When the ring 8 is driven to rotate by the main rolling wheel 2, the balls 12 rotate synchronously with the rotation of the ring 8, thereby reducing the friction between the ring 8 and the worktable 1, reducing the resistance of the worktable 1 to the ring 8, improving the smoothness and efficiency of the rotation of the ring 8, reducing the heat generated by friction, and facilitating efficient cooling.

[0030] The core roller 3 includes two parts: an outer sleeve 31 and a core roller main shaft 32. The outer sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to the core roller support 7, and the core roller main shaft 32 is sleeved on the outer sleeve 31 and rotatably connected to the outer sleeve 31.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 and Figure 6 As shown, in another preferred embodiment, there are two worktables 1, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the core roller 3; a gap 13 is left between the two worktables 1 for the core roller 3 to pass through.

[0032] The structure of the workbench 1 facilitates the fixing of the core roller 3 to the ring 8, ensuring that the core roller 3 fully abuts against the inner ring surface of the ring 8; it also facilitates the movement of the core roller 3, allowing adjustment of the distance between the core roller 3 and the main rolling roller 2 to accommodate the rolling of rings 8 with different wall thicknesses; on the other hand, it reduces the contact area between the ring 8 and the workbench 1, thereby reducing the frictional resistance when the ring 8 rotates.

[0033] In this embodiment, the gap 13 includes two segments: a rectangular segment and a trapezoidal segment. The trapezoidal segment is adapted to the shape of the cone roller 4, thereby facilitating the feeding and movement of the cone roller 4 within the gap 13 between the two worktables 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the balls 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the core roller 3.

The fixed seat 61 and the guide roller 62 are elastically connected.

[0042] The fixed base 61 is elastically connected to the guide roller 62, so that the guide roller 62 always abuts against the ring 8 to limit the position of the ring 8 and provide guidance for the ring 8 during the hole enlargement process. As the outer diameter of the ring 8 gradually increases, the distance between the fixed base 61 and the guide roller 62 gradually decreases.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, a movable block 63 is fixedly connected to the guide roller 62, and a guide rod 64 is provided between the movable block 63 and the fixed seat 61; one of the movable block 63 and the fixed seat 61 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 64, and the other is slidably connected to the guide rod 64.

Specifically, as the outer diameter of the ring piece 8 gradually increases, the ring piece 8 abuts against the guide roller 62, the compression spring 65 is compressed, and the angle between the connecting rod 66 and the fixed seat 61 gradually decreases.

[0045] Further, the two limiting guide assemblies 6 are arranged on the two workbenches 1 respectively. The two limiting guide assemblies 6 are arranged to reduce the shaking of the forgings during the rolling process.

[0046] Further, as shown in Figures 1-2 Further, the two limiting guide assemblies 6 are arranged on the two workbenches 1 respectively. The two limiting guide assemblies 6 are arranged to reduce the shaking of the forgings during the rolling process.
