Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of small bar rolling mill equipment, and more particularly to an improved structure for rolling mills to prevent scratches on the surface of small bars. Background Technology
[0002] Small bar mills are mainly used to produce small-sized bars, especially hot-rolled ribbed steel bars. Through the rolling process, metal billets can be processed into bars of the required specifications. Small bar mills adopt split rolling technology, which can expand the range of product specifications, optimize the connection between continuous casting and steel rolling production, release production potential, and achieve energy saving, consumption reduction and cost optimization. Through continuous rolling process and high-precision mill design, small bar mills can achieve efficient and smooth production process, improve production efficiency and quality.
[0003] Traditional rolling mills suffer from several significant drawbacks. First, the installation accuracy of the rolls and guides is difficult to guarantee. Installation is primarily performed by experienced workers in the assembly area, lacking the calibration capabilities of optical equipment. During rolling, as the steel throughput increases, the fixing screws of the inlet and outlet guides and frames easily loosen, causing guide misalignment. This results in the workpiece scraping against the exit bore, causing scratches on the steel surface and affecting product quality.
[0004] Secondly, the movement trajectory of round steel on the conveyor rollers is unstable. This is due to tension fluctuations and the difficulty in maintaining absolute horizontality on the rolling line, causing the round steel to jump and sway slightly as it advances. This makes it easy for the round steel to come into contact with the side walls of the steel passage, the pinch rollers, and the inlet guide groove of the flying shear. Because of the high surface temperature and low hardness of red-hot steel, this contact easily produces intermittent or continuous scratches, further affecting the surface quality of the steel.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a structure that can accurately calibrate the guide and stabilize the trajectory of the rod, so as to solve the problem of scratches caused by insufficient installation accuracy of the guide and instability of the rod's movement trajectory. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, an improved mill structure is provided to prevent scratches on the surface of small bars. This invention achieves stable guidance and precise positioning of the rolled piece by adding a side vertical roller assembly, a skirt assembly, a height-adjustable support roller, and a screw drive mechanism, thereby completely avoiding scratches on the surface of the small bars.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an improved mill structure for preventing scratches on the surface of small bars, including a fixed base. A mill frame is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the fixed base, and a replacement frame is fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the fixed base. Several replacement rollers are rotatably connected inside the replacement frame. A side roller assembly is fixedly installed on one side of the replacement frame. A first height groove is formed on one side of the inner wall of the mill frame, and a second height groove is formed on the other side of the inner wall of the mill frame. A work roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the mill frame. Two skirt plate assemblies, respectively located above the work rollers, are fixedly installed on the mill frame. A support roller is provided at the bottom of the mill frame. The side roller assembly includes two mounting plates and two height shells. The tops of the two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two height shells. A displacement frame is slidably connected inside each of the two height shells. Limit plates are fixedly installed on both sides of each of the two displacement frames. A side roller body is rotatably connected between every two pairs of opposite limit plates. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the top between the two height shells.
[0008] Furthermore, one end of each of the two mounting plates is fixedly connected to the replacement frame, and the side wheel assembly is mounted on the replacement frame via the mounting plates.
[0009] Furthermore, both of the skirt board assemblies include a skirt board frame and a reinforcing frame. The interior of the skirt board frame is fixedly connected to one end of the reinforcing frame. A rolling groove is provided at the top of the inner wall of the skirt board frame, and a conical wheel is rotatably connected inside the rolling groove.
[0010] Furthermore, one side of each of the two skirt frames is fixedly connected to the rolling mill frame, and the skirt assembly is installed on the rolling mill frame through the skirt frames.
[0011] Furthermore, a stepper motor that drives the work roll to rotate is fixedly installed on the surface of the mill stand. After the stepper motor is powered on, it starts and drives the work roll to rotate. The work roll and the support roll cooperate with each other to perform rolling operation on the product.
[0012] Furthermore, a lead screw is rotatably connected inside the first height groove, and a first height block is slidably connected to the middle of the lead screw. One side of the first height block is rotatably connected to the side of the support roller. A servo motor for driving the lead screw to rotate is fixedly installed at the top of the mill stand. After the servo motor is powered on, it starts and drives the lead screw to rotate. The thread on the surface of the lead screw matches the thread on the inner wall of the first height block, and the first height block is limited by the first height groove. Therefore, the first height block slides along the lead screw, and the first height block adjusts the height of the support roller.
[0013] Furthermore, a second height block is slidably connected inside the second height groove. One side of the second height block is rotatably connected to the side of the support roller opposite to it. The second height block slides along the second height groove, driving the support roller to move up and down synchronously.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. This utility model provides an improved mill structure for preventing scratches on the surface of small bars. The first height block is raised and lowered by a servo motor-driven screw, and the second height block is passively followed in the second height groove. This achieves synchronous and precise height adjustment on both sides of the support roller, completely eliminating the skew caused by loose guide screws, avoiding scraping between the rolled piece and the exit inner chamber, and significantly reducing scratches on the steel surface.
[0015] 2. The present invention provides an improved mill structure for preventing scratches on the surface of small bars. The structure consists of a skirt assembly and a side roller assembly. The skirt assembly is made of an integral cast iron skirt frame and a conical wheel. The conical wheel rotates in the rolling groove to reduce friction on the bars. The side roller assembly is limited by a displacement frame sliding within the height shell to adapt to the swing trajectory of the bars and avoid hard contact with the side wall of the steel passage, thus significantly reducing the scratch rate of the red steel.

[0027] One end of each of the two mounting plates 91 is fixedly connected to the replacement frame 5, and the side wheel assembly 9 is mounted on the replacement frame 5 through the mounting plates 91.
[0028] Both skirt board assemblies 11 include a skirt board frame 111 and a reinforcing frame 114.

[0029] One side of each of the two skirt brackets 111 is fixedly connected to the mill frame 3, and the skirt assembly 11 is installed on the mill frame 3 through the skirt brackets 111.
[0030] A stepper motor 2 that drives the work roll 10 to rotate is fixedly installed on the surface of the mill stand 3. After the stepper motor 2 is powered on, it starts and drives the work roll 10 to rotate. The work roll 10 and the support roll 8 cooperate with each other to perform rolling operation on the product.
[0031] A lead screw 13 is rotatably connected inside the first height groove 12. A first height block 14, which is slidably connected to the first height groove 12, is threadedly connected to the middle of the lead screw 13. One side of the first height block 14 is rotatably connected to the side of the support roller 8 opposite to it.
