Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rolling mill cooling equipment, and in particular relates to a cooling and temperature reduction device for a cold rolling mill bearing seat. Background Technology
[0002] In the aluminum processing industry, for example, all-oil rolling mills for aluminum plates, strips, and foils are typically equipped with gas fire suppression systems.
[0003] During the production process of aluminum sheet, strip, and foil fully oil-oil rolling mills, rolling oil needs to be sprayed onto the upper and lower surfaces of the product due to process requirements. After the mill operates normally, a large amount of oil mist is generated. When the strip breaks, sparks often cause a fire. Currently, all fully oil-oil rolling mills in the industry are equipped with gas fire suppression systems, which are generally effective in extinguishing fires. However, fires caused by damage to the roll bearing housing during high-speed operation of the fully oil-oil rolling mill, leading to overall heating of the bearing housing, often reignite after the extinguishing agent in the gas fire suppression system has been exhausted due to the high temperature of the damaged bearing housing. Secondly, due to the space limitations of the rolling mill location, placing fire suppression devices outside the bearing housing can easily affect the disassembly and assembly of the bearing housing. Therefore, when disassembling and assembling the bearing housing, the fire suppression device must be disassembled and assembled beforehand, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

[0016] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0017] In this invention, when the spray assembly sprays fire-fighting water onto the high-temperature bearing housing, a large amount of water vapor is generated. The water vapor displaces the surrounding air, achieving the effect of isolating and extinguishing the fire. The fire-fighting water sprayed onto the bearing housing and roller system dilutes the rolling oil. The fire-fighting water effectively cools the high-temperature bearing housing, effectively extinguishing the fire that may occur in the operation of an aluminum plate, strip, and foil all-oil rolling mill when the high temperature of the damaged bearing housing causes the mill to reignite.
[0018] In this invention, a spray assembly is installed above the roll bearing housing. The spray assembly is connected to the existing indoor fire protection pipe network. The water intake point is lower than the spray assembly. A drain valve is installed after the water source valve to prevent water from flowing into the rolling mill in case of water source valve failure, thus ensuring normal production of the rolling mill.
[0019] In this invention, the spray assembly is installed above the bearing housing to ensure that it does not affect the replacement of the bearing housing.
[0020] In this invention, the adjustable spray assembly facilitates the adjustment of the spray interval between the spray assembly and the bearing housing, allowing for adaptive spraying adjustments to support roller bearing housings and work roller bearing housings at different locations. Simultaneously, during the disassembly and assembly of the bearing housings, the spray assembly can be retracted, providing sufficient construction space for bearing housing replacement, improving replacement efficiency, and preventing damage to the spray assembly.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0030] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a cooling device for a cold rolling mill bearing housing includes a main pipe 34 connected to a fire-fighting pipeline 3. A water source valve 31 and a drain valve 33 are sequentially installed on the main pipe 34. Two water source valves 31 are installed on the main pipe 34. A drain pipe 32 is horizontally installed on the main pipe 34, and a drain valve 33 is installed on the drain pipe 32. Several first branch pipes 35 are vertically installed at the end of the main pipe 34, located on both sides of the rolling mill. Several second branch pipes 36 are evenly distributed downwards on the first branch pipes 35, and the second branch pipes 36 are connected to a spray assembly located above and to the side of the rolling mill's roll bearing housing.
[0033] In this invention, the rolling mill is a four-high rolling mill, comprising two support rolls 11 and two work rolls 21. The roll bearing housing includes a work roll bearing housing 2 and a support roll bearing housing 1. The two support rolls 11 are located on the upper and lower sides, and the two work rolls 21 are located between the two support rolls 11. The work roll bearing housing 2 is used to fix the work rolls 21, and the support roll bearing housing 1 is used to fix the support rolls 11. Each first branch pipe 35 is provided with three second branch pipes 36. The second branch pipe 36 located on the upper side is located above the upper support roll bearing housing 1, the second branch pipe 36 located in the middle is located above the upper work roll bearing housing 2, and the second branch pipe 36 located on the lower side is located above the lower support roll bearing housing 1.
[0034] In this invention, when the spray assembly sprays fire-fighting water onto the high-temperature bearing housing, a large amount of water vapor is generated. The water vapor displaces the surrounding air, achieving the effect of isolating and extinguishing the fire. The fire-fighting water sprayed onto the bearing housing and roller system dilutes the rolling oil. The fire-fighting water effectively cools the high-temperature bearing housing, effectively extinguishing the fire that may occur in the operation of an aluminum plate, strip, and foil all-oil rolling mill when the high temperature of the damaged bearing housing causes the mill to reignite.
[0035] In this invention, the spray assembly is installed above the bearing housing to ensure that it does not affect the replacement of the bearing housing.
[0036] In this invention, the bottom end of the main pipe 34, i.e., the position of the drain pipe 32, is lower than the position of the spray assembly.
[0037] In this utility model, a spray assembly is installed above the roll bearing housing. The spray assembly is connected to the existing indoor fire protection pipeline. The water intake point is lower than the spray assembly. The drain valve 33 is normally open and the water source valve 31 is normally closed. A drain valve 33 is installed behind the water source valve 31 to prevent water from flowing into the rolling mill in case of a malfunction of the water source valve 31, thus ensuring normal production of the rolling mill.
[0038] In this utility model, the main pipe 34 is fixed to the crossbeam 5 by a tie rod assembly. The tie rod assembly includes a U-shaped screw 51. The main pipe 34 is disposed inside the screw 51. The screw 51 passes through the crossbeam 5. Several locking nuts 52 are provided on the screw 51. The locking nuts 52 are used to connect and fix the tie rod assembly to the main pipe 34 and the crossbeam 5, thereby achieving the suspension and fixation of the main pipe 34.
[0039] As one preferred embodiment, the spray assembly includes a nozzle 4, which is connected to a second branch pipe 36.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] Based on Example 1, this embodiment further optimizes the design to improve the ease and efficiency of disassembling and assembling the bearing housings (work roll bearing housing 2 and support roll bearing housing 1).
[0042] like Figures 2-7 As shown, as another preferred embodiment, the spray assembly includes a nozzle 4, a hose 8, and a sliding frame 6. A sliding sleeve 61 is provided on one side of the sliding frame 6. The sliding sleeve 61 is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the second branch pipe 36. One end of the hose 8 is connected to the second branch pipe 36, and the other end of the hose 8 is connected to the nozzle 4. The nozzle 4 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 6. A locking screw 63 is provided on the sliding sleeve 61.
[0043] This design allows for precise spraying by simply adjusting the position of the sliding frame 6 to be positioned close to the upper side of the corresponding bearing housing. When installing or removing the bearing housing, the sliding frame 6 can be retracted to move the nozzle 4 away from the bearing housing, freeing up more space for installation and removal. The adjustable spray assembly facilitates adjustment of the spray interval between the assembly and the bearing housing, allowing for tailored spraying for different locations of the support roller bearing housing 1 and the work roller bearing housing 2. Furthermore, the spray assembly can be retracted during bearing housing installation and removal, providing sufficient space for replacement, improving efficiency, and preventing damage to the spray assembly.
[0044] Furthermore, a first flange 37 is provided at the end of the second branch pipe 36, a second flange 81 and a third flange 82 are provided on both sides of the hose 8 respectively, and a fourth flange 67 is provided on one side of the sliding frame 6. The first flange 37 and the second flange 81 are connected by bolts, and the third flange 82 and the fourth flange 67 are connected by bolts, realizing the detachable connection of the hose 8, the second branch pipe 36, and the sliding frame 6. One end of the nozzle 4 is threaded to the inner wall of the third flange 82 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 (As shown).
[0045] In this invention, a first spring 64 is fitted on the outer wall of the second branch pipe 36 between the sliding sleeve 61 and the first flange 37. With this design, when the sliding frame 6 moves closer to the bearing seat, the first spring 64 is compressed. When the bearing seat needs to be disassembled, simply loosen the locking screw 63, and the return of the first spring 64 will automatically drive the sliding frame 6 and the nozzle 4 away from the bearing seat, thus quickly achieving position adjustment.
[0046] In this utility model, the sliding frame 6 is set in a semi-circular shape, the flexible hose 8 is set on the bottom side of the sliding frame 6, the first spring 64 is set on the bottom side of the sliding frame 6, and the second branch pipe 36 is partially set on the inner side of the sliding frame 6. The sliding frame 6 can be used to achieve protection. An adjustment component is slidably set on the sliding frame 6. The adjustment component is connected to the flexible hose 8. The flexible hose 8 is fixed by the adjustment component and divided into multiple sections for suspension. The flexible hose 8 can be arranged compactly and its position can be easily adjusted.
[0047] Furthermore, the sliding frame 6 is provided with a sliding groove 62, and the adjusting component includes an arc-shaped slider 7. A hook 71 with a notch is integrally connected to the bottom side of the slider 7. A closing member 72 is provided on the notch of the hook 71. The hook 71 and the closing member 72 close to form an annular clamp to hold the hose 8. The inner wall of the slider 7 slides tightly against the outer wall of the sliding frame 6, and the sliding groove 62 is located on the side near the nozzle 4. The adjusting component is connected to the middle position of the hose 8, allowing the hose 8 to be lifted from the middle and folded for placement.
[0048] Furthermore, a mounting block 65 is provided at one end of the slide 62 near the nozzle 4, and a second spring 66 is provided on the mounting block 65. The second spring 66 is arranged along the length of the slide 62, and one end of the second spring 66 abuts against the adjusting component. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after designing the second spring 66, the hose 8 is lifted from the middle by the adjustment component and divided into two sections for folding. The two sections of hose 8 can be folded or unfolded in sequence, realizing the segmented adjustment of hose 8, which can adapt to different lengths of distance adjustment, and at the same time helps to extend the service life of hose 8.
[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the hose 8 is divided into two sections at this time, that is, the hose 8 is divided into two sections by the adjusting component. Both sides of the hose 8 are folded into a V shape. Assume that the hose 8 is in a retracted and folded state at this time, and the nozzle 4 assembly is away from the bearing seat. When spraying is required, the sliding frame 6 slides towards the nozzle 4 (towards the bearing seat), and the first spring 64 is compressed. At this time, only one side of the hose 8 is stretched, that is, the section of hose 8 between the second branch pipe 36 and the adjusting component begins to stretch, while the section of hose 8 between the nozzle 4 and the adjusting component is not stretched. Only when the section of hose 8 between the second branch pipe 36 and the adjusting component is folded to its limit position and stretched to a horizontal state will it act on the adjusting component. At the same time, the sliding component moves and stretches the second spring 66. At this time, the section of hose 8 between the nozzle 4 and the adjusting component begins to stretch, thus realizing the function of segmented stretching and unfolding. This method utilizes an adjustment component to suspend the hose 8 from the middle connection, divides it into two sections, and folds them. The two sections of hose 8 can be folded or unfolded sequentially, realizing segmented adjustment of hose 8. It can be adjusted according to different distances. Segmented adjustment is beneficial to extending the service life of hose 8. Especially when adjusting a small distance, only one section of hose 8 is frequently folded or unfolded, which can ensure that the other section of hose 8 near the bearing seat is not frequently folded or unfolded, reducing the impact of mill side temperature and improving the service life of that section of hose 8.
[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
