Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of abnormal repair of rolls with specific functions, and relates to an inner ring structure for repairing specific roll necks of rolls. Background Technology

[0002] The 18-roll mill is a crucial unit for Taiyuan Iron & Steel Group (TISCO) in rolling stainless steel cold-rolled sheets, boasting advantages such as high control precision. Due to its high roll system integration, the intermediate rolls employ a design where the roll neck acts as the inner sleeve of the bearing, a design intended to reduce bearing costs.

[0003] However, a new problem arose during the assembly and use of the rolls and has plagued the industry for many years: the bearing life is shorter than the roll life, and bearing failure damages the roll neck, leading to extensive abnormal damage to the rolls and preventing them from reaching their normal service life. Attempts were made to repair the roll neck using laser cladding technology, but the localized heat treatment during the process failed to meet the technical requirements for hardness and other aspects of the roll neck, resulting in the failure of the repair process.

[0004] During the production process, a large number of rolls are left on site due to abnormal damage to the roll neck, causing difficulties in production and supply and a significant increase in roll consumption. There is an urgent need to propose an effective repair structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the deficiencies in the aforementioned related technologies, this utility model proposes an inner ring structure for repairing specific roll necks of rolling mills.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, this utility model provides an inner ring structure for repairing specific roll necks, applicable to rolls with damaged roll neck surfaces. The inner ring structure for repairing specific roll necks includes:

[0007] The trimmed roll neck is formed by cutting a damaged roll neck.

[0008] The first inner ring is a tubular component. The outer diameter of the first inner ring is the same as the diameter of the roll neck of the rolling mill. The inner diameter of the first inner ring is interference-fitted with the diameter of the dressing roll neck. The first inner ring is fitted onto the dressing roll neck.

[0009] The second inner ring is a tubular component. The outer diameter of the second inner ring is the same as the diameter of the roll neck. The inner diameter of the second inner ring is interference-fitted with the diameter of the dressing roll neck. The sum of the lengths of the first inner ring and the second inner ring is the same as the length of the roll neck. The second inner ring is fitted onto the dressing roll neck.

[0010] Preferably, the first inner ring and the second inner ring are fitted onto the trimming roller neck using a thermal assembly process.

[0011] Preferably, the first inner ring and the second inner ring have the same length.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness is 7.9 mm and the quenching hardness is 58-64 HRC.

[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the trimming roller neck is ø254.2mm (+0.08, +0.109).

[0014] Preferably, the outer diameter of the first inner ring and the second inner ring is 270 mm.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0016] The repair channel for the characteristic roll neck, which is used as a bearing inner sleeve, was opened up, thus solving the problem of roll retention.

[0017] This makes the repair of rolls with such neck damage highly effective, low-cost, and easy to operate.

[0018] The replaceability of the inner sleeve enables sustainable repair, thereby realizing the utilization value of the roll throughout its entire life cycle.

[0019] By adopting the method of this utility model, the repair of the characteristic rolls that make the roll neck act as the inner sleeve of the bearing can be cost-effective and efficient, and the roll life can be increased from 50% to 100%, ensuring the sustainable repair and use of the roll throughout its entire life cycle.
