Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for short-stress rolling mills, specifically an automatic centering and positioning mechanism for a roll changing trolley. Background Technology
[0002] Short-stress rolling mills are widely used in the production of metals such as bars and wires due to their short rolling force transmission path, high rigidity, and excellent rolling accuracy. After mill maintenance or roll wear, the old rolls need to be removed and new rolls need to be fed in via a roll changing trolley. The alignment accuracy between the roll changing trolley and the mill body directly determines the efficiency of roll disassembly and assembly and the subsequent rolling accuracy.
[0003] The positioning of roll changing trolleys in existing short-stress rolling mills mostly adopts manual assisted positioning or simple mechanical limiting structures: manual positioning requires operators to observe with their eyes and manually adjust the position of the trolley, which is not only inefficient, but also the positioning accuracy is easily affected by human factors, leading to jamming, collisions, or even damage to the mill bearings or rolls during roll disassembly and assembly; simple mechanical limiting (such as stops, positioning pins) are simple in structure, but after long-term use, the limiting accuracy is easily reduced due to wear, and they cannot adapt to the positioning adjustment requirements when changing rolls of different specifications, resulting in poor versatility.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic centering and positioning mechanism for a roll changing trolley, including a base plate 1;
[0029] Buffer component 3 is used to catch the roller changing trolley;
[0030] Positioning and pushing components 4 are used to guide, position and lock the roller changing trolley;
[0031] And the adjustable mounting plate 2 that connects the base plate 1, the adjustable mounting plate 2, and the buffer component 3;
[0032] The positioning and pushing component 4 is divided into left and right parts. There are three adjustable mounting plates 2. The tops of the two left and right adjustable mounting plates 2 are connected to the positioning and pushing component 4, and the top of the middle adjustable mounting plate 2 is connected to the positioning and pushing component 4. The adjustable mounting plates 2 are detachably connected to the base plate 1 by bolts. Because the adjustable mounting plates 2 are connected to the base plate 1 by bolts, the position of the adjustable mounting plates 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the buffer component 3 and the positioning and pushing component 4 to match the roller changing trolley. At the same time, the distance between the left and right positioning and pushing components 4 can also be adjusted, thereby adjusting the guiding and positioning range to match different roller changing trolleys.
[0033] The buffer component 3 includes a cylinder 301, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the intermediate adjustable mounting plate 2. A lifting plate 302 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the cylinder 301. A mounting base 303 is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting plate 302. A buffer shock absorber 304 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 303. Two buffer shock absorbers 304 are provided. A hinge seat 305 is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the buffer shock absorber 304. A connecting plate 306 is fixedly connected to the other end of the hinge seat 305. A connecting plate 306 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the side of the connecting plate 306 facing away from the hinge seat 305. The cylinder 301... 301 drives the lifting plate 302 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the structure on the lifting plate 302 so that the silicone pad 307 can be aligned with the front of the roll changing trolley. The silicone pad 307 is set to provide primary buffering and shock absorption, and the buffer shock absorber 304 provides secondary buffering and shock absorption to ensure the buffering and shock absorption effect. Since the connecting plate 306 is connected to the buffer shock absorber 304 through the hinge seat 305, when the roll changing trolley collides with the silicone pad 307, the connecting plate 306 can change position and angle under force, thereby allowing the silicone pad 307 to contact the surface of the roll changing trolley as much as possible to ensure the buffering and shock absorption effect.
[0034] The shock absorber 304 includes a fixed cylinder 3041, which is fixedly connected to a mounting base 303. A sliding plate 3042 is slidably disposed inside the fixed cylinder 3041. A movable rod 3043 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 3042, and a damper 3044 and a spring 3045 are connected to the other side. The movable rod 3043 extends out from the fixed cylinder 3041 and is fixedly connected to a hinge base 305. The ends of the damper 3044 and the spring 3045 away from the sliding plate 3042 are... The fixed cylinder 3041 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 3041. The fixed cylinder 3041 is used to install the sliding plate 3042, the damper 3044, and the spring 3045. The sliding plate 3042 is connected to and guides the movable rod 3043. After the impact is transmitted from the hinge seat 305 to the movable rod 3043, the movable rod 3043 can move to drive the sliding plate 3042 to move, thereby squeezing or stretching the damper 3044 and the spring 3045. The spring 3045 is used for buffering, and the damper 3044 is used for shock absorption.
[0035] A limiting ring 7 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod 3043. The limiting ring 7 is fixedly installed in the port of the fixed cylinder 3041. A limiting groove 8 is opened on the outer wall of the movable rod 3043. The protrusion on the inner side of the limiting ring 7 is slidably set in the limiting groove 8. The limiting ring 7 and the limiting groove 8 guide the movable rod 3043 so that the movable rod 3043 can only slide relative to the fixed cylinder 3041 and cannot rotate relative to the fixed cylinder 3041.
[0036] A guide ring 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lifting plate 302. A guide rod 5 is slidably installed inside the guide ring 6. The bottom end of the guide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the middle adjustable mounting plate 2. The guide ring 6 and the limiting ring 7 are used to guide and limit the lifting plate 302 in the vertical direction, so that the lifting plate 302 can only be lifted vertically.
[0037] The positioning and pushing component 4 includes two upright plates 401, which are respectively fixedly mounted on the tops of the left and right adjustable mounting plates 2. A second cylinder 402 is fixedly mounted on the side of the upright plate 401. A mounting bracket 403 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the second cylinder 402. An electromagnet assembly 404, a position sensing component 405, and a push plate 406 are fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 403. The electromagnet assembly 404 and the push plate 406 all face the front of the upright plate 401. A roller 407 is rotatably mounted inside the push plate 406. The position of the mounting bracket 403 is adjusted by the second cylinder 402, thereby... The position of the push plate 406 is adjusted so that it can contact the side of the roller changing trolley. Then, the roller changing trolley is pushed to the center, and the push plates 406 on the two vertical plates 401 on the left and right can push the roller changing trolley from the left and right directions to ensure the accuracy of the centering position. The roller changing trolley is attracted by the energized electromagnet group 404 so that it will not move easily after being centered, thus ensuring the stability during the roller changing process. Rollers 407 are set to reduce the friction force on the roller changing trolley during movement. Position sensing component 405 is set to determine whether the roller changing trolley has reached the working area.
[0038] The position sensing component 405 includes a protective housing 4051, which is fixedly mounted on a mounting bracket 403. A proximity switch 4052 is disposed inside the protective housing 4051. A through groove is provided at the front end of the protective housing 4051. A disassembly plate 4053 is provided on the inner wall of the protective housing 4051 to block the through groove. The proximity switch 4052 is a capacitive proximity switch. The protective housing 4051 is provided to protect the proximity switch 4052. The disassembly plate 4053 is provided to open the protective housing 4051 when replacing or repairing the proximity switch 4052.
[0039] A guide ring 2 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the upright plate 401. A guide rod 2 9 is slidably arranged inside the guide ring 2 10. One end of the guide rod 2 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame 403. The guide rod 2 9 and the guide ring 2 10 are used to guide and limit the mounting frame 403 to prevent the mounting frame 403 from rotating.
[0040] Working principle: During use, the roller changing trolley moves towards the buffer component 3 and the positioning and pushing component 4. First, at least one of the two proximity switches 4052 will detect the roller changing trolley approaching. When it reaches the first working area, cylinder 2 402 is activated, driving the mounting bracket 403 to move, which in turn drives the push plate 406 to move, so that the roller 407 on the push plate 406 contacts the side of the roller changing trolley. Then, the roller changing trolley is pushed to be positioned in the center. After reaching the second working area, the roller changing trolley will collide with the silicone pad 307. The silicone pad 307 provides initial buffering and shock absorption for the roller changing trolley. Then, the impact is transmitted from the hinge seat 305 to the buffer shock absorber 304. The buffer shock absorber 304 provides secondary buffering and shock absorption to quickly stabilize the roller changing trolley. At this time, the electromagnet group 404 is activated to hold the roller changing trolley, and the roller changing operation can be performed.
