Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straightening rolls for continuous casting machines, and more particularly to a straightening roll for square billets. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel metallurgical industry, billet straightening rolls play a crucial role, primarily responsible for cooling and transporting steel billets. Their structure is relatively complex, consisting of multiple components including rollers, water-retaining rings, rubber seals, bolts, bearing housings, bearings, bearing caps, and rotary joints. Cooling is achieved through internal water circulation, while the sides of the rollers are tightly sealed with rubber seals, water-retaining rings, and bolts to prevent cooling water leakage.
[0003] However, a series of problems arose during actual online use. Due to the prolonged heating of the continuously cast billet by the rollers, the effectiveness of the internal cooling system gradually deteriorated, causing the roller temperature to rise continuously. The excessively high temperature severely affected the rubber seals, leading to their rapid failure. Consequently, water leakage began to occur on both sides of the rollers, with water droplets dripping directly onto the billet surface. This not only affected the normal cooling of the billet but also caused uneven surface hardness, seriously impacting product quality. The poor internal cooling effect of the billet straightening rollers and the series of problems arising therefrom have become a pressing technical challenge for the steel metallurgical industry. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a straightening roll for square billets is provided. This invention improves the roll body structure and internal cooling effect, effectively preventing uneven surface hardness of the billet caused by water leakage on both sides of the roll, while also extending the roll's service life.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a straightening roller for square billets, comprising: a roller, a shaft head, an inner roller, a bearing seat, a bearing, and a bearing cover;
[0006] The roller has a hollow structure with an inner roller embedded inside. A cooling water flow channel is formed between the inner roller and the roller. Cooling water enters from the pipe in the middle of the inner roller and flows out from the gap between the inner roller and the roller through the cooling water flow channel.
[0007] The shaft head is a welded shaft head, which is welded to the roller.
[0008] Furthermore, the bearing housing is connected to the roller via a bearing, and the bearing cover is used to fix the bearing.
[0009] Furthermore, the cooling water flow channel between the inner rollers is an annular structure, and the cooling water enters from the middle of the inner rollers and is evenly distributed along the annular channel.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the roller is provided with a wear-resistant coating to enhance the roller's wear resistance and high-temperature resistance.
[0011] Furthermore, the middle pipe of the inner roller is provided with multiple diversion holes, through which cooling water is evenly distributed into the gap between the inner roller and the roller.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0013] 1. This utility model provides a straightening roller for square billets. By designing the roller with an embedded structure, a cooling water flow channel is formed between the inner roller and the outer roller. The cooling water enters from the middle of the inner roller and flows rapidly, avoiding the accumulation of cooling water inside the roller body and significantly improving the cooling effect. Simultaneously, the inner roller and the outer roller are made of wear-resistant materials, and the outer surface is coated with a wear-resistant coating, further enhancing the roller's wear resistance and high-temperature resistance, and extending its service life.
[0014] 2. This utility model provides a straightening roller for square billets, which adopts a welded shaft head, avoiding the use of sealing rings in traditional structures and significantly reducing the risk of water leakage. Since the two sides of the roller no longer rely on sealing rings for sealing, water leakage problems caused by aging or failure of sealing rings are reduced, avoiding uneven hardness on the billet surface caused by water leakage, and improving product quality.
[0015] 3. The present invention provides a straightening roller for square billets, the structure of which avoids the complex process of using deep hole drilling to process the center and axial deep holes of the roller in the traditional design, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the processing difficulty, and at the same time, the welded shaft head design reduces the use of parts, further reduces production costs and improves production efficiency.
[0016] Based on the above reasons, this utility model can be widely promoted in the field of continuous casting machine straightening roll technology. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Furthermore, in actual use, this device is installed on the billet production line. Cooling water enters through the pipe in the middle of the inner roller 10, flows through the cooling water flow channel, and flows out from the gap between the inner roller 10 and the roller 9, quickly reducing the surface temperature of the roller 5.
