Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bending roller cylinder technology, and in particular to a seven-block connection structure for bending roller cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] The rolling mill bending cylinder is an important component of the rolling mill. Its function is to control the bending degree of the rolling roll, thereby ensuring the shape quality of the rolled plate. The 7-shaped block is the connecting part between the bending cylinder and the hydraulic hose. It is bolted to the top of the bending cylinder and the hydraulic oil is connected by the preload between the bolt and the seal.

[0003] However, in actual use, the 7-block seal is prone to oil leakage. The main reason is that the asymmetrical length-to-diameter ratio of the 7-block causes fatigue elongation of the distal bolt during vibration, leading to an increase in the sealing gap and thus causing oil leakage. Furthermore, due to the high-pressure system (270 bar), in addition to the rapid loss of many barrels of hydraulic oil, repairs are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may even cause a major accident resulting in the interruption of continuous casting, with very serious consequences.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a seven-block connection structure for the bending roller cylinder to solve or at least alleviate the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a seven-segment connection structure for bending roller cylinders, so as to solve the problem that the seven-segment blocks of bending roller cylinders in the prior art are prone to oil leakage due to loosening caused by the large length-to-diameter ratio.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a seven-block connection structure for a bending roller cylinder, including a seven-block, a bending roller cylinder mechanism, and a sealing assembly; wherein,

[0007] The bending roller cylinder mechanism includes a bending roller cylinder, and the seven-shaped block includes a weighting part, a connecting part, and a bending part. The connecting part is connected to the top of the bending roller cylinder, and the weighting part and the bending part are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting part. The bending part has an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The top of the bending roller cylinder has a connecting oil port, and the sealing assembly is built into the top of the bending roller cylinder and sleeved outside the connecting oil port.

[0008] The vertical projection of the centroid of the seven-character block to the top surface of the bending roller cylinder is located within the range of the top surface of the bending roller cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the center of mass of the seven-character block and the central axis of the bending roller cylinder are located on the same transverse extension line.

[0010] Preferably, the bending roller cylinder mechanism further includes a bending roller cylinder housing, and the bending roller cylinder is built into the bending roller cylinder housing and is vertically movable.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes an inner sealing ring, which is built into the top of the bending roller cylinder and sleeved on the outside of the connecting oil port.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing assembly further includes an outer sealing ring, which is built into the top of the bending roller cylinder and sleeved outside the inner sealing ring.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes a stop block, which is connected to the top of the bending roller cylinder housing and is spaced apart below the seven-character block.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the weighted part extends upward from the connecting part, and the bottom of the weighted part extends downward from the connecting part along the side laterally away from the bent part.

[0015] Preferably, the oil inlet is located on the lateral protruding sidewall of the bend, and the oil outlet is located on the top surface of the bend.

The bending part has an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The top of the bending roller cylinder has a connecting oil port. The sealing component is built into the top of the bending roller cylinder and sleeved outside the connecting oil port. The vertical projection of the center of mass of the seven-block to the top surface of the bending roller cylinder is located within the top surface area of ​​the bending roller cylinder.

[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a bending roller cylinder seven-block 10 connection structure, including a seven-block 10, a bending roller cylinder mechanism 20, and a sealing assembly 30. First, it should be noted that the lateral direction in this application refers to the width direction of the seven-block 10. Unlike existing seven-block seals which are prone to oil leakage, primarily due to the asymmetrical aspect ratio of the seven-block causing fatigue elongation of the distal bolts during vibration, leading to increased sealing gaps and oil leakage accidents, this presents a solution to the aforementioned defects in the prior art by providing a bending roller cylinder seven-block connection structure, as detailed below:

[0034] The bending roller cylinder mechanism 20 includes a bending roller cylinder 210. The seven-shaped block 10 includes a weighting part 110, a connecting part 120, and a bending part 130. The connecting part 120 is connected to the top of the bending roller cylinder 210. The weighting part 110 and the bending part 130 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting part 120. The bending part 130 has an oil inlet 131 and an oil outlet 132. The top of the bending roller cylinder 210 has a connecting oil port 211. The sealing assembly 30 is built into the top of the bending roller cylinder 210 and sleeved on the connecting oil port 211. The vertical projection of the center of mass 140 of the seven-shaped block 10 to the top surface of the bending roller cylinder 210 is located within the range of the top surface of the bending roller cylinder 210.

[0035] Specifically, the swivel block connection structure of the bending roller cylinder in this application includes a swivel block 10, a bending roller cylinder mechanism 20, and a sealing assembly 30. The bending roller cylinder mechanism 20 mainly includes a bending roller cylinder 210, and also includes a bending roller cylinder housing 220. The bending roller cylinder housing 220 is used to install the bending roller cylinder 210, so that the bending roller cylinder 210 is vertically movably connected to the bending roller cylinder housing 220. Usually, the swivel block 10 is an asymmetrical component with a large length-to-diameter ratio, which can easily cause the center of mass 140 to shift outside the connection surface. With the increase of usage time and under the action of vibration, the sealing gap will increase. The swivel block 10 in this application includes a weighting part 110, a connecting part 120, and a bending part 130 to change the structural form of the swivel block 10.

[0036] The connecting part 120, as the central part of the entire swivel block 10, is used to connect with the bending roller cylinder 210. Preferably, a bolt connection is used for a secure connection and to facilitate later disassembly and replacement. It is worth noting that the connecting bolts can be produced using a forging process, and the thread machining should include a stress-relieving process to prevent fatigue fracture of the threaded portion. The weighting part 110 and the bending part 130 are respectively connected to both ends of the connecting part 120. Specifically, the bending part 130 is an oil passage section, used for oil inlet and outlet. Therefore, the oil inlet 131 and oil outlet 132 are both located at the bending part 130, and the oil pipe channel is built into the swivel block 10, which will not be elaborated here. The weighting part 110 in this application, compared to the swivel block 10 in the prior art, is longer along the longitudinal direction (length of the swivel block 10). The weighted part 110 extends away from the end of the bending part 130 and has a greater thickness to balance the outward bending structure of the bending part 130, thereby removing the deflection moment and controlling the position of the center of mass 140. Thus, when processing the spherical block 10, the outward floating position of the bending part 130 can be appropriately shortened. Combined with the extension of the weighted part 110 to reduce the large length-to-diameter ratio structure of the traditional spherical block 10, the vertical projection of the center of mass 140 of the spherical block 10 to the top surface of the bending roller cylinder 210 falls within the top surface area of ​​the bending roller cylinder 210. This means that the center of mass 140 of the entire spherical block 10 is controlled within the connection support surface with the bending roller cylinder 210, thereby minimizing the longitudinal deflection load and preventing the center of mass 140 from floating outside the bending roller cylinder 210. For example, when the entire component is as shown in the attached... Figure 1 When in normal use and placement, the top surface of the bending roller cylinder 210 is horizontal, that is, the vertical projection of the centroid 140 of the seven-shaped block 10 to the horizontal plane where the top of the bending roller cylinder 210 is located; the position of the centroid 140 in a preferred embodiment of this application can be referred to the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown in the image.

[0037] Furthermore, the sealing component 30 is used to improve the sealing performance. It is understood that the oil pipe channel of the bending roller cylinder 210 is directly connected to the oil pipe channel of the seven-shaped block 10. Therefore, a connecting oil port 211 is provided at the top of the bending roller cylinder 210. In order to avoid oil leakage at this connecting oil port 211, the sealing component 30 can be built in to enhance the sealing performance at this connecting oil port 211.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the centroid 140 of the seven-character block 10 and the central axis of the bending roller cylinder 210 are located on the same transverse extension line.

[0039] It should be noted that this allows the seven-shaped block 10 of this application to have a similar symmetrical structure along the central axis of the bending roller cylinder 210, so as to form a better sealing structure. The longitudinal deflection load and deflection torque are smaller, thereby enhancing the connection stability of the seven-shaped block 10, that is, ensuring the enhanced sealing performance.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealing assembly 30 includes an inner sealing ring 310, which is built into the top of the bending roller cylinder 210 and sleeved on the outside of the connecting oil port 211.

[0041] It is worth noting that the inner sealing ring 310, as the main seal, bears the main pressure impact and can preferentially block the leakage of internal media. It can be made of high-hardness material (such as fluororubber, hardness 70-90 Shore A) and has strong extrusion resistance.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealing assembly 30 further includes an outer sealing ring 320, which is built into the top of the bending roller cylinder 210 and sleeved on the outside of the inner sealing ring 310.

[0043] It is worth noting that the outer sealing ring 320 serves as a backup seal to prevent leakage after the main seal fails. It can be made of a material with better elasticity (such as silicone, with a hardness of 50-70 Shore A).

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes a stop block 221, which is connected to the top of the bending roller cylinder housing 220 and is spaced apart below the seven-character block 10.

[0045] It should be noted that the stop block 221 is used to control the retraction of the bending roller cylinder 210. It is understood that the bending roller cylinder 210 usually acts between the upper and lower working rollers. Sometimes its position may move up and down. In order to avoid interfering with the surrounding equipment, a stop block 221 can be set on the top of the bending roller cylinder housing 220. In this way, when up and down movement occurs, the seven-shaped block 10 will be lowered and abut against the stop block 221, thereby achieving the stopping effect and preventing the entire bending roller cylinder 210 from sliding down further.

[0046] Furthermore, the top of the weighting part 110 extends upward from the connecting part 120, and the bottom of the weighting part 110 extends downward from the connecting part 120 along the side laterally away from the bending part 130.

[0047] It should be understood that the purpose of counterweight is achieved by extending upward and downward respectively, while the downward part is mainly concentrated on the side away from the bending part 130 in the lateral direction, so as to balance the lateral protrusion of the bending part 130, remove the deflection torque, and ultimately facilitate the control of the position of the center of mass 140.

[0048] Furthermore, the oil inlet 131 is disposed on the lateral protruding sidewall of the bent portion 130, and the oil outlet 132 is disposed on the top surface of the bent portion 130.

[0049] It should be noted that in the prior art, the oil inlet 131 and oil outlet 132 of the seven-shaped block 10 are usually located on the top surface. However, in this application, in order to control the position of the centroid 140, the protruding length of the bent part 130 will be shortened, which will reduce the top surface space of the bent part 130. Therefore, considering the suitable position distribution, the oil inlet 131 can be located on the lateral protruding side wall of the bent part 130, while the oil outlet 132 is still located on the top surface of the bent part 130.

[0050] Furthermore, the lateral protruding surface of the bending portion 130 is flush with one lateral side wall of the bending roller cylinder housing 220.

[0051] It should be noted that by significantly shortening the lateral protrusion of the bending portion 130 and minimizing any remaining lateral outward allowance, the range of the center of mass 140 can be better controlled, thereby reducing the longitudinal deflection load. In other embodiments, the lateral protrusion of the bending portion 130 can be located near a side wall of the bending roller cylinder housing 220 in the lateral direction. The specific location can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
