Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal rolling technology, and in particular to a compact high-speed rolling looper support mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern high-speed rolling production, compact high-speed rolling looper support mechanisms play a crucial role in ensuring the stability of the rolling process and improving product quality. With the rapid development of rolling technology, the requirements for rolling speed and product precision are constantly increasing, and traditional looper support mechanisms are gradually revealing many problems.
[0003] During high-speed rolling, the red steel passes through the looper support mechanism at extremely high speed, which causes strong impact and friction between the support mechanism and the ground. The support base of the traditional looper support mechanism usually adopts a fixed rigid structure and lacks effective buffering measures. After being subjected to impact and friction for a long time, the support base will wear out. Once worn, the entire support base often needs to be replaced, resulting in a short service life of the support base. Therefore, we propose a compact high-speed rolling looper support mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a compact high-speed rolling looper support mechanism. This mechanism can solve the problem that during high-speed rolling, red steel passes through the looper support mechanism at extremely high speed, which causes strong impact and friction between the support mechanism and the ground. The support base of the traditional looper support mechanism usually adopts a fixed rigid structure and lacks effective buffering measures. After being subjected to impact and friction for a long time, the support base will wear out. Once worn, the entire support base often needs to be replaced, resulting in a short service life of the support base.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a compact high-speed rolling looper support mechanism, comprising:
[0006] Looping table, with a looper roller assembly installed inside the looping table;
[0007] The support replacement structure is located on the looper platform;
[0008] The support replacement structure includes a mounting base, a support base, and four bolts. The support base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slip-on platform. Two fixing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base and the support base. The corresponding two fixing plates are fixedly connected by two bolts. The mounting base is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support base by four bolts. Buffer pads are installed on the opposite surfaces of the mounting base and the support base. Two adapter slots are opened on the top of the buffer pads.
[0009] Preferably, the support replacement structure further includes two positioning blocks, both of which are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base. Both adapter slots are adapted to the corresponding positioning blocks. The bottom of the support base has two positioning slots, and both positioning blocks are inserted into the corresponding positioning slots.
[0010] Preferably, the number of the support replacement structures is two, and the two support replacement structures are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the looper platform.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a compact high-speed rolling looper support mechanism, comprising:
[0027] Looping table 1, with a looping roller assembly 2 installed inside the looping table 1;
[0028] The support replacement structure is located on the looper table 1.
[0029] The support replacement structure includes a mounting base 8, a support base 9, and four bolts 12. The support base 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slip-on platform 1. Two fixing plates 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base 8 and the support base 9. The corresponding two fixing plates 11 are fixedly connected by two bolts 12. The mounting base 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support base 9 by four bolts 12. A buffer pad 15 is installed on the opposite surface of the mounting base 8 and the support base 9. Two adapter grooves 16 are opened on the top of the buffer pad 15.
[0030] The support replacement structure also includes two positioning blocks 13, both of which are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 8. Two adapter slots 16 are adapted to the corresponding positioning blocks 13. Two positioning slots 14 are opened at the bottom of the support base 9, and the two positioning blocks 13 are inserted into the corresponding positioning slots 14. There are two support replacement structures, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the loop platform 1. A lifting positioning ring 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the loop platform 1.
[0031] An outlet guide roller assembly 3 is installed on one side of the looper table 1, and an inlet guide roller assembly 4 is installed on the side of the looper table 1 away from the outlet guide roller assembly 3. Two vertical roller assemblies 7 are installed on both sides of the looper table 1. Two pressure roller assemblies 5 and two bottom roller assemblies 6 are installed inside the looper table 1 respectively. The two pressure roller assemblies 5 and the two bottom roller assemblies 6 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the looper table 1.
[0032] Furthermore, when using this device, during the high-speed rolling process, the red steel sequentially enters the looper table 1 through the inlet guide roller assembly 4. Inside the looper table 1, the red steel interacts with the starting roller assembly 2, the pressure roller assembly 5, the bottom roller assembly 6, and the vertical roller assembly 7 to maintain appropriate tension and running trajectory. At this time, the support replacement structure installed at the bottom of the looper table 1 provides support for the entire looper table 1. In particular, the buffer pad 15 can effectively alleviate the impact force generated when the red steel moves.
[0033] When the buffer pad 15 wears out due to prolonged use and needs to be replaced, firstly, use an external jack to support the positioning ring 10 and support the slip-on platform 1 to reduce the pressure on the support replacement structure. Then, the operator unscrews the four bolts 12 connecting the mounting base 8 and the fixing plates 11 on both sides of the support base 9. Since the mounting base 8 and the support base 9 are connected by the positioning block 13 and the positioning groove 14, and the adapter groove 16 on the buffer pad 15 is compatible with the positioning block 13, the mounting base 8 along with the worn buffer pad 15 can be slidably separated from the support base 9 after the bolts 12 are removed.
[0034] Place the new buffer pad 15 between the mounting base 8 and the support base 9, aligning the adapter slot 16 with the positioning block 13. Then, install the mounting base 8 back onto the support base 9, ensuring that the positioning block 13 is accurately inserted into the positioning slot 14. Next, use four bolts 12 to secure the fixing plates 11 on both sides. Finally, lower the slip-on platform 1 to complete the replacement of the buffer pad 15.
[0035] This utility model provides a replaceable buffer pad 15 on the support base 9. The buffer pad 15 can effectively alleviate the impact and friction between the support mechanism and the ground, disperse most of the impact and friction forces, reduce damage to the support base 9 body, and the buffer pad 15 can be replaced separately after wear, avoiding the support base 9 from being scrapped due to local wear, thereby extending the service life of the support base.

[0041] Bottom roller assembly 6: It supports the red steel and works in conjunction with pressure roller assembly 5 to maintain the appropriate position and running trajectory of the red steel in the looper table 1;
[0042] Vertical roller assembly 7: Installed on both sides of the looper table 1, it restricts the lateral movement of the red steel, keeps the red steel in the correct running direction within the looper table 1, and helps maintain the tension of the red steel.
[0043] Mounting base 8: It cooperates with the support base 9 to install the buffer pad 15. It is fixedly connected to the support base 9 by bolts 12, providing an installation position for the buffer pad 15.
[0044] Support base 9: Fixed to the bottom of the looper 1, supporting the mounting base 8 and buffer pad 15, bearing the weight of the looper 1 and its components, as well as the force generated by the movement of the red steel.
[0045] Lifting and positioning ring 10: Fixed to the bottom of the looper platform 1, it provides a lifting support point for external jacks and other equipment when replacing the buffer pad 15, making it easier for operators to lift the looper platform 1 and reduce the pressure on the support replacement structure.
[0046] Fixing plate 11: It is fixed to both sides of the mounting base 8 and the support base 9 respectively, and is connected by bolts 12 to firmly fix the mounting base 8 and the support base 9 together;

[0049] Positioning groove 14: It is formed at the bottom of the support base 9 and is inserted into the positioning block 13 to position the mounting base 8, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the mounting base 8 during installation;
[0050] Buffer pad 15: Installed between mounting base 8 and support base 9, it mitigates the impact force generated during the movement of the red steel, protects support base 9 and looper table 1, and reduces the impact of vibration on the red steel rolling process. Buffer pad 15 is made of high-elasticity polyurethane elastomer material with an elastic modulus range of 10-100 MPa and a Shore hardness of 80-95A. This material has excellent damping characteristics, with a loss factor between 0.1 and 0.3, effectively absorbing and dissipating impact energy.
