Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal alloy material processing, and is particularly applicable to the production of thin strip materials. In particular, it relates to an asynchronous adaptive cold continuous rolling mill unit for single-stand multi-roll rolling mills of oriented silicon steel thin strip. Background Technology

[0002] With the rise of new manufacturing industries such as micro-manufacturing and microelectromechanical systems, the market demand for ultra-thin silicon steel strip is very urgent.

[0003] Currently, most ultra-thin strips made of metals, alloys, and metal matrix composites are produced through rolling, using multi-roll mills for reversible rolling and continuous rolling processes. Traditional multi-roll mills, such as the Sendzimir 20-roll mill, employ multiple passes for repeated rolling, resulting in low production efficiency and high costs for ultra-thin strips. Continuous rolling mills, typically five-stand mills, require large investments, occupy a large area, have complex structures, and incur high production, operation, and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the lack of asynchronous rolling capabilities results in low thinning capacity, which is detrimental to the formation of surface texture in silicon steel.

[0004] Patent CN106944479A discloses a single-stand continuous rolling mill for thin strip and its implementation method. It has multiple work rolls of equal or unequal diameters, including active rolls and passive rolls. Multi-pass asynchronous rolling or asynchronous-synchronous rolling is implemented by controlling the linear speed of the active rolls. As the number of rolling passes increases, the linear speed of each roll increases sequentially along the rolling direction. The last pass can use asynchronous rolling or synchronous rolling. In synchronous rolling, the last two rolls have equal diameters and equal linear speeds. Alternatively, multiple unequal work rolls, including active rolls and passive rolls, are used. Larger diameter rolls are active rolls, and smaller diameter rolls are passive rolls. Multi-pass asynchronous rolling or asynchronous-synchronous rolling is implemented by controlling the linear speed of the active rolls. As the number of rolling passes increases, the linear speed of each roll increases sequentially along the rolling direction. The last pass can use asynchronous rolling or synchronous rolling. In synchronous rolling, the last two rolls have equal diameters and equal roll drive speeds. For conventional four-stand and five-stand continuous rolling mills, the total reduction rate is greater than 70%, and the strip elongation is three to four times, meaning the exit speed of the mill is three to four times the entry speed. However, this patent uses a horizontal arrangement, requiring the two tension rolls to extend underground, which is very inconvenient to operate. The three electric motors need to be arranged on both sides, making it difficult to distinguish between the drive side and the operating side, which not only hinders operation but also increases safety hazards. ③ The space for the looper tension rolls is limited, so the reduction rate cannot be large each time, often requiring reversible rolling, resulting in low operating speed and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide an asynchronous adaptive cold continuous rolling mill unit for oriented silicon steel strip with a single stand multi-roll mill that can achieve multi-pass continuous rolling and has a stronger thinning capacity, as well as its rolling method.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the pressing device is a hydraulic cylinder, which is located above the first working roll bearing seat; a high-strength bending roller device is also provided on the outside of the first working roll bearing seat, including a high-strength bending roller seat and a high-strength bending roller cylinder, and the high-strength bending roller cylinder is fixed in the frame through the high-strength bending roller seat.

[0009] In the above technical solution, a roll gap adjustment device is provided below the sixth working roll bearing seat; and a hydraulic balancing device is provided on the passive roll bearing seat.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the looper tension roller is mounted on a bracket, which is fixed to the outside of the machine frame; there are four looper tension rollers, which are arranged crosswise on the outside of the second working roller, the third working roller, the fourth working roller, and the fifth working roller, and the looper tension roller is driven to move horizontally by a hydraulic cylinder with a servo system.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the first work roll and the sixth work roll are driven by a centralized main drive system or two independent main drive systems, and the main drive system is located on the drive side of the rolling mill.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the main drive system includes an upper main drive system and a lower main drive system.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following positive effects:

The diameter of the two active rollers is larger than the diameter of the four passive rollers.

[0029] The pressing device 4 of this utility model is a hydraulic cylinder, which is set above the first work roll bearing seat 9-1. A high-pressure bending roll device 10 is also provided outside the first work roll bearing seat 9-1, including a high-pressure bending roll seat 10-1 and a high-pressure bending roll cylinder 10-2.

[0030] A segmented process lubrication system 8 is provided between the roll gaps of the two working rolls 5, and the segmented process lubrication system 8 is located below the strip at the roll gap inlet.

[0031] The rolling method using this single-stand multi-roll asynchronous adaptive cold continuous rolling mill for grain-oriented silicon steel strip includes the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: The hydraulic cylinder is raised, and the first working roll 5-1 to the sixth working roll 5-6 are successively positioned at their maximum roll gap under the action of hydraulic balance, while each looper tension roll 6 retracts to its minimum position; first, the strip head 11 to be rolled passes through the inlet pinch roll 1, which conveys the strip head forward to the upper or lower end of the first working roll 5-1; if it reaches the upper end of the first working roll 5-1, see... Figure 1 (Example 1) The belt head is then passed around the first working roll 5-1 and through the roll gap at the bottom of the first working roll 5-1, around the first loose tension roll 6-1, through the roll gap formed by the second working roll 5-2 and the third working roll 5-3, around the second loose tension roll 6-2, through the roll gap formed by the third working roll 5-3 and the fourth working roll 5-4, around the third loose tension roll 6-3, through the roll gap formed by the fourth working roll 5-4 and the fifth working roll 5-5, around the fourth loose tension roll 6-5, through the roll gap formed by the fifth working roll 5-5 and the sixth working roll 5-6, and out from the bottom of the sixth working roll 6-6. It passes through the exit pinch roll 2 and enters the winding machine, where the belt head is clamped and wound around the drum 2-3 times, completing the belt threading process.

[0033] For example, the inlet pinch roller 1 conveys the belt head forward to the lower end of the first working roller 5-1, see Figure 2 (Example 2) The tape passes through the gap between the first working roll 5-1 and the second working roll 5-2, around the first loose tension roll 6-1, then through the gap between the second working roll 5-2 and the third working roll 5-3, around the second loose tension roll 6-2, through the gap between the third working roll 5-3 and the fourth working roll 5-4, around the third loose tension roll 6-3, through the gap between the fourth working roll 5-4 and the fifth working roll 5-5, around the fourth loose tension roll 6-4, through the gap between the fifth working roll 5-5 and the sixth working roll 5-6, and through the exit pinch roll 2 into the winding machine. The tape head is clamped and wound around the drum 2-3 times, completing the tape threading process.

[0034] Step 2: Start the uncoiler and coiler to establish tension for the entire unit;

[0035] Step 3: Start the hydraulic cylinder and segmented process lubrication system 8, and simultaneously start the main drive system (7), the strip exit speed V 出 ≥3 to 5 times V 入 The first loop tension roller 6-1 is pushed outward to set a certain tension for the strip, thus completing the start-up and low-speed operation of the unit;

[0036] Step 4: Continuous acceleration. Based on the difference between the strip exit thickness and the target thickness, adjust the hydraulic cylinder to press down, so that the strip exit thickness matches the target thickness.

[0037] Step 5: Adjust the bending force of the high-strength bending roller device 10 and the corresponding cooling section flow rate of the segmented process lubrication system 8 according to the exit strip shape, so that the exit strip shape is consistent with the target strip shape.

[0038] The inlet speed of the strip at point 5-1 of the first working roll is set to V. 12 The exit speed of the strip on the sixth working roll (5-6) is set to V. 61 The speeds of the upper and lower surfaces of the second working rolls 5-2 to the fifth working rolls 5-5 are respectively set to V. 21 V 22 V 31 V 32 V 41 V 42 V 51 V 52 The adaptive speed of the work roll satisfies: V 61 ≥V 52 =V 51 ≥V 42 =V 41 ≥V 32 =V31 ≥V 22 =V 21 ≥V 12 The adaptive speed of the strip surface satisfies: V 61m ≥V 52m ≥V 51m ≥V 42m ≥V 41m ≥V 32m ≥V 31m ≥V 22m ≥V 21m ≥V 12m This enables alternating asynchronous rolling of the upper and lower surfaces of the strip.

[0039] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
