Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cold rolling equipment maintenance technology, and more specifically, to a lifting device for replacing tension rolls in a cold rolling mill. Background Technology
[0002] Most sheet and strip production currently employs continuous coil production. In the strip steel production process, tension rolls, as a crucial component, play a vital role in the sheet and strip production line. They are widely used in pickling and rolling, hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, continuous annealing furnace, and recoiling production lines.
[0003] As the production line operates continuously, the surface roughness of the tension rollers naturally decreases due to wear, making it easy for the roller surface to slip against the strip steel. This directly affects the surface quality of the strip steel, requiring regular inspection, maintenance, and replacement of the tension rollers.
[0004] However, in order to improve product quality requirements, the exit section of each production line is designed with dustproof enclosures, which makes roller changing inconvenient. Before changing the roller, the enclosure cover must be lifted out before it can be replaced, and after the roller is replaced, it must be reset. This involves too much high-altitude work, which is dangerous, particularly unsafe, and also labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lifting device for replacing tension rolls in cold rolling mills, which allows for direct replacement without the need to lift the closed cover plate, thereby improving operational safety and work efficiency.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0021] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a tension roll replacement and hoisting device for a cold rolling mill, including a main beam 1, a transmission mechanism 2, a traveling mechanism 3, and a counterweight 4. The transmission mechanism 2 is installed on one side of the main beam 1. The counterweight 4 and the traveling mechanism 3 are both connected to the lead screw and nut of the transmission mechanism. The wheels 31 of the traveling mechanism 3 roll on the main beam 1. Two tension roll lifting lugs 5 are provided at the lower end of the other side of the main beam 1. Several overhead crane hoisting holes 101 are provided at the middle of the top of the main beam 1.
[0022] This utility model utilizes a crane to move the entire hoisting device, then uses the tension roller lug 5 of the hoisting device to lift the tension roller C, then uses the counterweight 4 to lift the tension roller C, and then uses the crane to move the entire hoisting device, thereby moving the tension roller C and realizing the removal of the tension roller C.
[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the main beam 1 includes an upper beam plate 11 and a lower beam plate 12. Baffles 13 are installed at the rear ends of both the upper and lower beam plates 11. Rib plates 14 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the upper beam plate 11. A crane lifting hole 101 is located at the middle of the upper end of the baffle 13. Tension roller lifting lugs 5 are installed at the lower end of the lower beam plate 12. The rib plates 14 serve to strengthen the connection between the baffle 13 and the upper beam plate 11, and between the baffle 13 and the lower beam plate 12. The baffle 13 also serves to connect the upper beam plate 11 and the lower beam plate 12.
[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the transmission mechanism 2 further includes a motor 21 and a motor base 22. The bottom of the motor base 22 is installed at one end of the upper beam plate 11. The motor 21 is installed on the motor base 22. Two bearing seats 23 are installed at the bottom of the lower beam plate 12. A lead screw 24 is installed at the two bearing seats 23. A sprocket 25 is installed at the end of the lead screw 24 and the end of the motor 21. A chain 26 is installed between the two sprockets 25. A lead screw nut 27 is installed on the lead screw 24. The top of the counterweight 4 is connected to the lead screw nut 27.
[0025] When motor 21 is working, one sprocket 25 rotates, and through chain drive, the other sprocket 25 rotates. Sprocket 25 drives lead screw 24 to rotate, which in turn drives lead screw nut 27 to move linearly, which in turn drives counterweight 4 to move linearly.
[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the walking mechanism 3 includes a transition plate 32. The upper beam plate 11 is provided with a transition plate through groove. The bottom of the transition plate 32 is connected to the top of the counterweight 4 by fasteners. The upper end of the transition plate 32 is connected to a wheel 31, which is located between the upper beam plate 11 and the lower beam plate 12. The lead screw nut 27 simultaneously drives the transition plate 32 to move, and the transition plate 32 also drives the wheel 31 to move. The wheel 31 moves smoothly with the transition plate 32, ultimately making the counterweight 4 move smoothly.
[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, two impact plates 15 are installed on the upper beam plate 11, and the transition plate 32 is located between the two impact plates 15. The two impact plates 15 serve to limit the movement of the transition plate 32.
[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, a control box 7 is installed on the baffle 13. The control box 7 is electrically connected to the motor 21, and a handle controller 8 is connected to the control box 7.
