Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot-rolled plate conveying technology, specifically to a guide roller device for the finishing mill inlet of a hot-rolled strip mill. Background Technology

[0002] In China, hot strip mills are adding roller devices to the entry side guides of their finishing mills to reduce strip edge scratching and improve the reliability of strip alignment within the finishing mill. Currently, several steel mills in China have added roller devices to the entry side guides of their finishing mills. However, due to structural and rotational inertia limitations, the roller devices are designed to be lightweight. Furthermore, because the roller devices operate continuously in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the roller bearings have a short lifespan, resulting in a high frequency of roller assembly replacement.

[0003] Currently, there are two arrangements of roller devices installed on the side guide at the entrance of the finishing mill in hot-rolled strip mills. One is the structure of the German SMS, in which a pair of rollers are installed at the junction of the trumpet section and the parallel section at the entrance of the side guide. The roller specifications are Φ185*500, and a pair of rollers are arranged symmetrically on each side. The other is the structure used by some hot-rolled plate plants in China, in which a roller is installed at the entrance and the middle part of the side guide. The roller specifications are Φ215*500 and Φ175*350 respectively, and they are arranged symmetrically on both sides.

[0004] The above two structural forms of the finishing mill inlet roller side guide device have the following problems during use: Both structural forms have certain limitations. In the SMS structure, the roller bearing seat is directly bolted to the side guide. After a period of use, the bolts are prone to loosening, elongation, or even breakage, and the bolts are difficult to disassemble, causing many inconveniences for use and maintenance. Although the structural forms of some hot rolling mills in China have solved the problems of bolt loosening and disassembly difficulties, the rollers arranged in the middle of the side guide are inside the mill stand, making replacement very difficult, which also causes inconvenience for maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that the bolts used to fix the roller bearings at the entrance of the finishing mill are difficult to remove, or that the rollers are located inside the mill stand, making replacement and maintenance inconvenient.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is a guide roller device for the finishing entry side of a hot-rolled strip mill, including a guide frame structure (7), three support platforms (7.1) are fixed on the upper side of the guide frame structure (7), two guide rails (7.2) are fixed between the three support platforms (7.1), and a guide structure is provided on the outer side of the guide rails (7.2) for limiting sliding. The guide structure is characterized in that: the guide structure includes a sliding frame (8) slidably disposed on the outer side of the guide rails (7.2), a guide plate (9) is fixed on the upper side of the sliding frame (8), and telescopic rods (10) are fixed on the upper side of the support platforms (7.1) on both sides. One end of the telescopic rod (10) is hinged to the outer side of the guide plate (9). A placement groove is opened on the upper side of the guide plate (9), and a pair of roller assemblies are vertically arranged in the placement groove. A fixing pressure plate (1) is provided at the top of the guide roller and fixed to the upper side of the guide plate (9) by a clamping bolt (2).

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the roller assembly includes a roller shaft (5), the roller shaft (5) is made of high-strength low-alloy steel forging and is subjected to quenching and tempering heat treatment, the roller shaft (5) is provided with a roller body (6) on the outside, and bearings (4) are clamped at both ends between the roller shaft (5) and the roller body (6), and a positioning key (3) is clamped between the fixed pressure plate (1) and the guide plate (9). The roller assembly is provided with a dry oil lubrication system inside and a water cooling system is added on the outside.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer side of the roller body (6) extends 10-20mm beyond one side of the guide plate (9), which can smoothly guide the strip head across the roller surface and prevent the strip head from getting stuck between the roller and the liner.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer side of the roller body (6) is overlaid with high temperature resistant ceramic alloy steel to ensure that the roller surface will not anneal when heated, and the hardness reaches Rockwell hardness HRC60-62. The roller surface can withstand temperatures of over 800℃.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a rolling mill (11) is provided on one side of the guide frame structure (7), and one end of the guide structure faces the entrance of the rolling mill (11).

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This patent adds a fixed pressure plate and roller assembly. When replacing the roller, several locking bolts on the fixed pressure plate can be directly removed, and the roller assembly together with the fixed pressure plate can be hoisted off the line. Then, the new roller assembly and its fixed pressure plate can be hoisted onto the line. After tightening the fixed pressure plate and locking bolts, the replacement can be completed. The replacement time can be controlled within 20 minutes, which greatly saves the time of replacing the roller assembly. Attached Figure Description
