Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, specifically relating to a rolling mill shaft support device with buffer adjustment function. Background Technology
[0002] The mill roll support bracket is a key component in rolling equipment used to support and stabilize the roll connection. Traditional brackets use a chain support structure, connecting the upper and lower roll supports via chains to achieve roll support. However, this structure has significant drawbacks: Chain breakage is common: during rolling, the roll connection is subjected to high-frequency impact loads, and the chain is prone to fatigue fracture under alternating stress, leading to frequent downtime for maintenance; gap vibration: when adjusting the gap between the upper and lower rolls, the chain vibrates due to insufficient rigidity, causing misalignment of the roll connection and affecting the dimensional accuracy of the rolled material; severe bottom wear: the contact surface between the bracket and the mill base lacks effective lubrication and wear-resistant protection, and long-term sliding friction leads to wear on the contact surface, requiring regular replacement of the base guide rails, resulting in high maintenance costs.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shaft support bracket that combines high wear resistance, dynamic locking, and buffer adjustment functions to meet the high-precision and high-efficiency production requirements of modern rolling mills. Utility Model Content

[0017] Preferably, the connecting block 14 and the adjusting rod 12 are engaged by a pin 15, and the connecting block is provided with a roller connecting hole 18, which is inserted into the connecting shaft at the end of the roller.

[0019] Preferably, the bracket is also provided with connecting holes 7, and a connecting shaft is provided between the connecting holes.

[0021] Preferably, the bracket body adopts a welded structure with internal welded reinforcing ribs 8.
[0022] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] The roller's connecting shaft is fitted with the connecting block, and the connecting block is connected with the adjusting rod. The lower fixed frame on the adjusting rod is fitted with the bracket body, and the nut above the upper fixed frame is used to adjust the adjusting rod and thus adjust the height of the roller. After the bracket body is in place, the locking hydraulic cylinder is activated, driving the linkage shaft to fit with the mill fixing part to fix the bracket body.
[0024] In this invention, the roller is connected to the bracket body via a spring buffer mechanism, and the spring provides buffering when there is a large impact.
[0025] The solution will be further illustrated below with specific embodiments.
[0026] Example: A mill shaft support device with buffer adjustment function, comprising: a support body and a sliding plate assembly.
[0027] The bracket body adopts a welded structure and is made of ZG270-500 cast steel. It has 8 internal welded reinforcing ribs with a thickness of 20mm, which effectively improves the bending stiffness.
[0028] The upper and lower sliding plates are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the bracket body. The dimensions of the sliding plates are 1000mm×150mm×30mm. They are fixed by 24 sets of M24×120 high-strength countersunk bolts (8.8 grade). The bolt preload is 120N·m. The bolt holes are drilled to ensure positioning accuracy.
[0029] The slide plate surface is machined with guide bosses to form an H8 / f7 clearance fit with the groove of the rolling mill base guide rail (clearance range 0.05-0.2mm).
[0030] Wear-resistant treatment of upper and lower slide plates: The working surface of the slide plate is overlaid with a 3mm thick STELLITE 6 cobalt-based alloy layer, with a hardness ≥58HRC and a friction coefficient ≤0.15. When the rolling mill moves, the hydraulic cylinder at the bottom of the rolling mill is connected to the bracket body through the bracket connection hole, pushing the bracket and the rolling mill to move, so that the slide plate slides along the guide rail groove, and the guide boss restricts lateral displacement.
[0031] Hydraulic locking system:
[0032] The locking hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the bottom surface of the bracket base by eight sets of M20×80 bolts (grade 10.9), and the mounting surface is milled (flatness ≤0.1mm / m). The front end of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod and the linkage shaft adopt an transition fit (H7 / k6) and are fixed to prevent detachment by a Φ10mm cylindrical pin.
[0033] Locking stage of hydraulic locking system: The piston rod of hydraulic cylinder extends outward, pushing the linkage shaft into the bottom connection hole of the rolling mill, realizing the rigid connection between the bracket and the rolling mill (axial positioning error ≤ ±0.1mm).
[0034] Unlocking phase of the hydraulic locking system: The hydraulic cylinder reverses oil supply, the piston rod retracts, the linkage shaft completely exits the connection hole, and the bracket is unlocked.
[0035] The components are assembled in a way that the lower fixing bracket is fixed to the top of the bracket by 6 sets of M16×60 bolts (8.8 grade), and the mounting surface is ground (roughness Ra≤3.2μm).
[0036] Buffer unit assembly: The adjusting rod passes sequentially through the lower fixed frame, spring, and upper fixed frame. The spring is a 60Si2MnA cylindrical helical spring (free height 250mm, wire diameter Φ25mm, stiffness coefficient 100N / mm). The adjusting nut is connected to the top of the adjusting rod via a Tr36×6 trapezoidal thread, with a thread fit length ≥50mm. The connecting block is hinged to the lower end of the adjusting rod via a pin (Φ20h6 tolerance). The connecting block is fixedly connected to the positioning shaft on the roll shaft. The external connecting block pressure plate 17 is used to fix the direction of movement, and the connecting block pressure plate 17 is bolted to the bracket body.
[0037] Initial preload setting: Rotate the adjusting nut to compress the spring to a preload force of 40 kN (as indicated by the pressure gauge), then tighten the nut (torque 60 N·m).
[0038] Dynamic height adjustment: When the gap between the rolls changes, the adjusting nut is manually rotated to move the connecting block up and down (stroke ±40mm) so that the support surface of the bracket is aligned with the axis of the roll.
[0039] Impact load buffering: The rolling impact force is transmitted to the spring through the connecting block. The maximum compression of the spring is 30mm, which absorbs 70% of the impact energy.
[0040] Implementation results: Positioning accuracy: Radial runout of the connecting shaft after the bracket is locked ≤ ±0.1mm (original chain structure ±1.5mm); Wear resistance: Annual wear of the skateboard ≤ 0.8mm, service life ≥ 24 months; Maintenance convenience: Replacing the skateboard takes ≤ 2 hours (original chain replacement takes 8 hours).
