Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hot-rolled steel pipe production, and in particular relates to a sizing machine for hot-rolled steel pipe production. Background Technology
[0002] The hot-rolled steel pipe sizing mill is one of the key pieces of equipment in a steel pipe production line, mainly used for precise control of the outer diameter and wall thickness of hot-rolled steel pipes. This equipment uses a multi-stand rolling process to continuously roll the steel pipe at high temperatures, ultimately achieving the required standard dimensions and roundness. In terms of process principle, the sizing mill utilizes the plastic deformation characteristics of metals at high temperatures. After the steel pipe passes through a reheat furnace at 950-1100℃, it enters the sizing mill. The roll passes of each stand gradually decrease in size, and through precise adjustment of the roll gap, the outer diameter of the steel pipe gradually approaches the target dimension.
[0003] Comparing with Chinese Patent CN215467042U, a hot-rolled seamless steel pipe sizing machine is disclosed, including a machine body, a scraping mechanism, and a base. The scraping mechanism is located inside the machine body, and the base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the machine body. The scraping mechanism includes a fixed seat and a first limiting groove. The first limiting groove is opened in the middle of the fixed seat, and a top column is inserted into the first limiting groove. By setting the scraping mechanism at the lower end of the roll inside the machine body, the scraper in the scraping mechanism is in close contact with the bottom of the roll groove. The return spring inside the top column generates an upward thrust on the top column, causing the top column to push the scraper up and down, so that the scraper is always in close contact with the roll groove of the roll. When the sizing machine sizings the steel pipe, the roll groove of the roll is always scraped and impurities are removed by the scraper during the rotation of the roll, avoiding impurity particles from appearing in the roll groove and scratching the steel pipe, thus improving the quality of the finished steel pipe.
[0004] However, there are gaps at the joints of the three rolls in the above-mentioned patent, which can easily lead to areas on the surface of the hot-rolled steel pipe that are not rolled, seriously affecting the uniformity of the outer diameter and the surface quality of the hot-rolled steel pipe. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sizing machine for hot-rolled steel pipe production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A sizing mill for hot-rolled steel pipe production includes a main unit for sizing hot-rolled steel pipes by rolling, and a frame unit for supporting the rotation of the main unit. A drive device for providing rotational power is provided at the front of the frame unit. The main unit includes a main body, a front support bracket is provided at the front of the main body, and a rear support bracket is provided at the rear of the main body. The frame unit includes a base plate, on which two support brackets are symmetrically mounted, and a slewing bearing is installed in the middle of the support brackets. The drive device includes a driven wheel ring, a driving wheel is provided on one side of the driven wheel ring, a transmission belt is installed between the driven wheel ring and the driving wheel, and a swivel motor is provided behind the driving wheel.
[0008] Furthermore: the main body includes a chassis, a chassis cover is installed on the front of the chassis, and three rollers are evenly distributed inside the chassis. The three rollers are distributed in an equilateral triangle and adopt a toothed co-rotating structure. A rotary motor is provided on one side of one of the rollers.
[0009] Furthermore: the front support bracket and the chassis cover are integrally formed, and the rear support bracket and the chassis body are integrally formed.
[0010] Furthermore, the base plate has four mounting slots evenly distributed at its four corners, and the mounting slots are U-shaped.
[0011] Furthermore, the support frame is inverted L-shaped and is bolted to the foundation plate.
[0012] Furthermore: the passive wheel ring and the front support bracket are bolted together, and the swing motor and the support bracket are bolted together.
[0013] Furthermore, the transmission belt is a toothed belt, and the oscillating motor is a servo motor.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are:
[0015] 1. By using the equilateral triangle distribution of three rolls and the toothed co-rotating structure, combined with the reciprocating swing design, the rolls can roll the steel pipe circumferentially, eliminating the unrolled area between the beginning and end of the rolls in the traditional sizing mill, and significantly improving the uniformity of the outer diameter and surface quality of the steel pipe.
[0016] 2. The toothed belt drive system driven by a servo motor enables precise reciprocating rotation of the passive pulley ring. The rotation angle and speed can be flexibly adjusted according to process requirements to adapt to the sizing requirements of steel pipes of different specifications. The bolt connection between the inverted L-shaped support frame and the U-shaped channel base plate, combined with the slewing bearing support, ensures the stability of the main unit during dynamic rotation and reduces the impact of vibration on processing accuracy.
[0017] 3. The slewing bearing supports the rotating parts of the main unit, reducing friction loss; the toothed belt drive is more impact-resistant and has lower noise than the gear drive, making it suitable for long-term high-frequency operation; the integrated molding design (the front / rear bearing tubes are integrally molded with the cover and the chassis body respectively) reduces connecting parts, lowers the risk of assembly errors, and improves overall rigidity.
