Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel processing technology, and in particular to a tensioning device for the end rollers of a bar wire cooling bed. Background Technology
[0002] After the bar stock is rolled, it is cooled on a cooling bed. Simultaneously, a head-aligning device on the cooling bed aligns the ends of the rolled stock, preparing it for the next length-cutting process. The bar cooling bed is 120 meters long, and the head-aligning device has 100 sets of head-aligning rollers. Both the head-aligning rollers and the geared motor shafts are equipped with sprockets, which drive the head-aligning rollers via chain transmission, causing the rolled stock on the head-aligning roller surface to move in the same direction, thus achieving the function of aligning the ends of the rolled stock.
[0003] The working conditions in the cooling bed area are quite harsh, with the ambient temperature of the aligning roll assembly consistently maintained at 300-350℃. The geared motors are subjected to prolonged high temperatures, leading to a high rate of motor burnout. Furthermore, the high temperatures cause chain and sprocket lubrication to fail, resulting in rapid chain and sprocket wear, causing chain stretching, slippage, tooth skipping, tooth loss, and even breakage. When 20 out of 100 aligning rolls malfunction, significant resistance is generated between the roll surface and the rolled workpiece, preventing the workpiece from moving and aligning, necessitating a shutdown for troubleshooting. Due to the high ambient temperature and the aligning rolls being 3 meters above the ground, replacing the aligning rolls, geared motors, and disassembling and assembling chains involves working at height, posing safety hazards such as falls, burns, and heatstroke, making temporary shutdowns for troubleshooting extremely difficult. Statistics show that downtime due to end-alignment roller malfunctions occurs approximately three times per month, with each troubleshooting session taking about 40-50 minutes, severely impacting production organization and operational efficiency. To address this issue, the position of the geared motor was lowered, increasing the center distance from 636mm to 1300mm, thereby reducing the motor's exposure to high temperatures. After lowering the motor's position, testing showed that the surface temperature of the geared motor decreased from 90℃ to 60℃. Furthermore, maintenance personnel can now perform disassembly, lubrication, and maintenance while standing on the cooling bed, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing operational safety risks. However, increasing the center distance between the geared motor and the end-alignment roller necessitates a longer transmission chain, potentially leading to insufficient tension and causing tooth skipping or slippage.
