Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a device for rapidly shifting the intermediate shaft of the main motor of a heavy plate rolling mill, belonging to the technical field of hot rolling main motor maintenance equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In hot-rolled heavy plate production lines, the center distance between the output shafts of the upper and lower main motors is typically small, while the rotor and stator radii of the upper and lower main motors are large. Therefore, the upper and lower main motors are arranged in a staggered manner, and the lower main motor is connected to the main drive universal joint shaft via an intermediate shaft installed below the upper main motor to achieve torque and power transmission. When the lower main motor is undergoing core removal maintenance, the rotor and stator of the lower main motor must first be lifted together, and then the rotor is moved laterally for core removal, disassembly, and maintenance.
[0003] Structurally, the intermediate shaft has a positioning boss at one end and a groove at the other end. One end of the intermediate shaft is connected to the flange of the main drive universal joint shaft, and the other end is connected to the flange of the lower main motor rotor. It is positioned by the positioning boss and the groove, and the torque is transmitted by the positioning key.
[0004] Before disassembling the lower main motor rotor, the intermediate shaft needs to be lifted a certain distance to separate it from the bearing housing. The intermediate shaft is then moved axially a certain distance to separate the positioning groove of the intermediate shaft flange from the positioning boss of the lower main motor rotor. This ensures that the positioning groove and the positioning boss do not interfere with each other during the lifting and lateral movement of the lower main motor rotor and stator. However, due to the upper main motor and its foundation located above and on both sides of the intermediate shaft, the working space is limited. Furthermore, the connection end between the intermediate shaft and the main drive universal joint is usually located on the factory wall, making overhead crane operation impossible. Therefore, the relocation of the intermediate shaft is difficult. Typically, lifting and relocation can only be achieved with repeated alternation of chain hoists and overhead cranes, resulting in high workload for workers, long working hours, and severely impacting the main motor maintenance progress. Moreover, the heavy weight of the intermediate shaft poses significant equipment and personal safety hazards. Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rapid shifting device for the intermediate shaft of the main motor of a heavy plate rolling mill. This rapid shifting device can realize the rapid lifting, axial shifting and return of the intermediate shaft, thereby creating conditions for the core pulling and disassembly of the main motor. It is safe, reliable, convenient and fast, and can effectively reduce the workload of operators, shorten working time, improve work efficiency and ensure the maintenance progress of the main motor.
[0006] The technical solution to the above technical problem is:
[0007] A rapid shifting device for the intermediate shaft connection of the main motor of a heavy plate rolling mill includes a base, a movable support, a screw jack, a top block, and a hydraulic jack.

A handle is installed on one side of the pad, and the pad is available in various thicknesses.
[0010] The aforementioned rapid shifting device for the intermediate shaft of the main motor of the heavy plate rolling mill has a top block that is a T-shaped steel plate structure. The T-shaped sides of the two top blocks are welded to the rotor flange of the lower main motor and the flange of the intermediate shaft, respectively. The upper planes of the T-shaped top blocks are parallel and opposite to each other. Cylinder seats are welded to the lower ends of the front plate surface of the upper plane of the T-shaped top blocks. The inner side of the two cylinder seats is arc-shaped, and the radius of curvature of the arc shape matches the cylinder radius of the hydraulic jack. The lower part of the cylinder of the hydraulic jack is placed on the arc shape of the two cylinder seats.

At the same time, lift the right screw jack 4 to make the slide plate 3 and the intermediate shaft 25 without gap, so that the intermediate shaft flange 26 and the opening below the main motor rotor flange 24 have a certain gap. Place the pad 5 in the gap between the movable bracket 2 and the base 1, and lower the screw jack 4 slightly.
[0040] (5) Slowly drive the hydraulic jack 7 between the two top blocks 6 to move the intermediate shaft 25 away from the lower main motor 21, so that the positioning key 28 between the intermediate shaft flange 26 and the lower main motor rotor flange 24 is disengaged, the positioning boss is separated from the groove, and the intermediate shaft flange 26 and the lower main motor rotor flange 24 are separated, so that the lower main motor 21 has the conditions for lifting, creating conditions for the subsequent maintenance of the main motor quickly.
