Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steel rolling equipment technology, and particularly relates to a three-roll mill. Background Technology

[0002] The rolling mill equipment for producing three-sided ribbed cold-rolled steel bars has roll rings that are evenly distributed in three equal parts around the circumference. Due to spatial constraints, it is difficult to arrange a corresponding transmission system for such a rolling mill. Therefore, existing three-sided ribbed cold-rolled steel bars are generally produced using a drawing process. The three-roll mill no longer has a transmission system. Instead, a traction roller is set up upstream of the rolling mill. The steel bar is wound around the traction roller several times, and the driving force generated by the friction of the traction roller pulls the steel bar to achieve passive rolling production.

[0003] The new national standard GB13788-2024 for cold-rolled ribbed steel bars was released and implemented in September 2024. The new standard has strict requirements on the shape of three-sided ribbed steel bars, especially the height of the transverse ribs.

[0004] Steel bars produced using a drawing process and passive manufacturing method must pass through traction rollers after forming, and straightening is also required when producing straight bars. These two processes inevitably generate strong friction on the outer circumference of the steel bars, especially wearing down the transverse ribs, ultimately resulting in products that do not meet standard quality requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a three-roll mill in which the steel bars no longer need to pass through traction rollers and straightening mechanisms after being rolled into shape, and no longer wear down the outer circle of the steel bars, thus ensuring product quality and solving at least one of the problems in the background technology.

[0032] Example:

[0033] refer to Figure 1-3 A three-roll mill includes three sets of roll assemblies arranged circumferentially on a mill core. Each roll assembly includes a roll ring 5, which is rotatably mounted on a sliding seat 2 and connected to a roll 3. A press 8 is connected to the roll assembly, and the press 8 drives the roll assembly. A base 13 is provided on the outer side of the mill core, and a geared motor 14 is provided on the outer wall of the base 13, which drives the roll ring 5 of the roll assembly to rotate.

[0034] The roller assembly also includes a swing arm 1, which has a groove for placing a sliding seat 2. The sliding seat 2 can move and adjust within the groove along the length of the swing arm 1. The swing arm 1 is provided with an adjusting screw 6, which passes through the groove and is threadedly connected to the sliding seat 2. The adjusting screw 6 adjusts the movement of the sliding seat 2 within the groove. A bearing seat 4 is provided above the sliding seat 2, and a roller ring 5 is mounted on the bearing seat 4. The roller ring 5 is coaxially connected to the roller shaft 3.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 The roller assembly is the core component of the rolling mill. Its main structure includes roller rings 5 ​​fixedly mounted on roller shafts 3, with bearing seats 4 on both sides of the roller rings 5, which are fixedly mounted on sliding seats 2. After the roller rings 5 ​​are ground, their diameter changes. To ensure the alignment of the three roller rings 5, the sliding seat 2 can slide laterally on the swing arm 1 under the action of the adjusting screw 6. When the roller diameter changes, the lateral position is adjusted as needed before being firmly fixed. The mill core mainly consists of three sets of roller assemblies and a front plate and a rear plate 7. The front plate and rear plate 7 are connected together by several sets of hinges.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 , ( Figure 2 (The front plate is not shown). The movement includes three sets of roller assemblies, a front plate, and a rear plate 7. The three sets of roller assemblies are evenly arranged in a circle between the front plate and the rear plate 7, and each roller assembly is rotatably connected to the front plate and the rear plate 7. One end of the swing arm 1 is provided with a hinge shaft 9, and the roller assembly is rotatably connected to the front plate and the rear plate 7 through the hinge shaft 9. The other end of the swing arm is provided with a drive device, which drives the roller assembly to swing around the hinge shaft 9. The drive device is a press 8, which is provided with a hinge shaft 2 10, which is connected to the front plate and the rear plate 7. The end of the lead screw of the press 8 is provided with a hinge shaft 3 11, and the lead screw is rotatably connected to the swing arm through the hinge shaft 3 11.

[0037] Three sets of roller assemblies are evenly distributed around the circumference and are hinged together by hinge shaft 9. Three sets of presses 8 are evenly distributed around the circumference at corresponding positions and are hinged together by hinge shaft 10. At the same time, the other end of the roller assembly is hinged to the lead screw of the corresponding press 8. The extension or retraction of the lead screw of the press 8 can drive the roller assembly to swing around hinge shaft 9, thereby realizing the pressing action.

[0038] The overall structure of the rolling mill includes the core, the base 13, and the transmission system. The core is bolted to the base 13 via the rear plate 7. Three sets of geared motors 14 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the base 13. The output ends of the geared motors 14 are connected to the rollers 3 of the roller assembly via universal joint drive shafts 12 to realize the main drive of the rolling mill.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the machine base 13 has a hollow interior, with the movement housed inside. The machine base 13 is externally fitted with a number of geared motors 14 equal to the number of roller assemblies. The geared motors 14 drive a transmission shaft 12, the other end of which is connected to a roller 3. A hoisting lift 15 is mounted on the upper part of the machine base 13. A sprocket 16 is connected to the lead screw end of the hoisting lift 15, and a chain is mounted on the sprocket 16. The other end of the chain can be connected to the movement. The hoisting lift 15 connects to the movement via the sprocket 16 and the chain.

[0041] A hoisting elevator 15 is also installed on the upper left side of the base 13. When changing rollers, the lead screw of the hoisting elevator 15 is connected to the machine core through the sprocket 16 and chain, which can lift the machine core and lower it to a certain distance to place it on the trolley 18 below. Similarly, when installing the machine core, it can be lifted and raised to a certain height.

[0042] refer to Figure 3 The lower part of the base 13 is also equipped with two guide rails 17 on the left and right. Each guide rail 17 is equipped with a trolley 18. When changing rolls, after the core is placed on the trolley 18, the trolley 18 can move the core laterally a certain distance and then lift it away from the rolling mill for the roll changing operation.

[0043] As one possible implementation method, a roll changing method for a three-roll mill is as follows: First, the core is removed from the mill. The hoisting elevator 15 is connected to the core via sprocket 16 and chain, and pre-tightened to a certain extent to ensure tension. Second, the drive shaft 12 is disassembled from the roll shaft 3, and the connection between the rear plate 7 of the core and the base 13 is disassembled. The hoisting elevator 15 drives the core down, and after the core is placed on the trolley 18, the chain is disconnected from the core. After the core is moved laterally a certain distance, it is lifted off the mill. After being placed horizontally, the front plate is removed, and the hinge shaft and bearing seat 4 are removed in sequence. Finally, the roll ring 5 is replaced. Finally, when the core is reassembled into the mill after replacing the roll ring 5, the roll ring 5 and bearing seat 4 are installed in sequence. If the diameter of the roll ring 5 changes, the adjusting screw 6 of the roll group needs to be adjusted to ensure that the center position of the roll ring 5 hole remains unchanged. After the core is installed, it is returned to the mill in the reverse order of disassembly.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations; any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
