Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cold rolling mill technology, specifically, it relates to a rolling head structure of a cold rolling mill. Background Technology
[0002] In the sheet metal rolling industry of cold rolling mills, the rolling head is the core component that directly realizes the plastic deformation of the sheet metal, and its operating status directly determines the rolling quality of the sheet metal and the service life of the equipment. Currently available cold rolling mill rolling head structures generally suffer from poor heat dissipation and lubrication coordination: On the one hand, the friction between the rollers and the sheet metal, as well as the rotation of the bearings, continuously generate heat during the rolling process. Existing heat dissipation structures are mostly single water-cooled or air-cooled, lacking temperature adaptive adjustment capabilities. This easily leads to excessively high temperatures in the bearing housing and rollers due to heat accumulation, which not only alters the microstructure of the sheet metal and reduces product precision but also accelerates bearing wear. On the other hand, bearing lubrication often uses a fixed oil injection method, which prevents precise delivery of lubricating oil to the lubrication points and lacks descaling and cleaning designs. The inner walls of the cooling water pipes are prone to scaling and blockage, further weakening the heat dissipation effect. Ultimately, this leads to increased equipment downtime for maintenance, seriously affecting production continuity and stability. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 2:
[0033] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 4 A cleaning pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the cooling water pipe 7. A groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning pipe 9. A sliding frame 11 is slidably connected inside the groove 10. A connecting cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 11. A descaling agent 13 is provided inside the connecting cylinder 12. The descaling agent 13 is food-grade calcium citrate.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] When the cold rolling mill needs to perform rolling operations, it first sends a command to the PLC controller through the external control system according to the thickness requirements of the metal sheet to be rolled. The PLC controller then transmits the command to the hydraulic press 2. After receiving the command, the hydraulic press 2 drives the hydraulic cylinder 19 to move. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 19 drives the lifting frame 20 to move up and down. The lifting frame 20 drives the bearing seat 5 to slide up and down along the sliding track on the inner wall of the frame 1 through the connecting frame 21. Since the first roll 3 and the second roll 4 are mounted on the bearing seat 5, the gap between the first roll 3 and the second roll 4 will change with the movement of the bearing seat 5 until it is adjusted to a gap that matches the thickness of the sheet to be rolled, thus completing the gap adjustment work before rolling.
[0036] After the roller spacing is adjusted, the metal sheet to be rolled is fed into the rolling channel formed between roller 3 and roller 4. The roller drive device is activated, driving roller 3 and roller 4 to rotate in opposite directions at a preset speed. Under the friction of the rollers, the metal sheet is drawn between the two rollers. Simultaneously, the hydraulic system continuously applies pressure to the bearing housing 5, causing the rollers to generate rolling force on the metal sheet. Under the action of the rolling force, the metal sheet undergoes plastic deformation, and its thickness gradually decreases until the preset rolling thickness is reached, completing the rolling process. During the rolling process, the rollers continue to rotate, continuously conveying the metal sheet forward, realizing continuous rolling operation.
[0037] During the rolling process, the friction between the roller and the metal sheet, as well as the rotation of the bearing, generates a large amount of heat, causing the temperature of the bearing housing 5 and the roller to rise. At this time, the temperature sensor 23 installed inside the bearing housing 5 monitors the temperature of the bearing housing 5 in real time and converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the PLC controller. When the temperature signal received by the PLC controller indicates that the temperature of the bearing housing 5 exceeds a preset threshold, the PLC controller immediately sends control commands to the solenoid valve 22 and the external water pump. Upon receiving the command, the solenoid valve 22 increases its opening, and the external water pump increases its speed, increasing the flow rate of cooling water. Cooling water enters the cooling water pipe 7 through the inlet pipe 8. Since the cooling water pipe 7 passes through the interior of the heat sink 6 and the bearing housing 5 and is in close contact with the bearing housing 5, the cooling water absorbs the heat transferred from the bearing housing 5 and the roller as it flows within the cooling water pipe 7, gradually reducing the temperature of the bearing housing 5 and the roller. The cooled water, having absorbed the heat, flows out from the outlet of the cooling water pipe 7. If the equipment is equipped with a cooling water tank, the outflowing cooling water can be introduced into the cooling water tank for cooling and then recycled; otherwise, it is discharged directly. When the temperature sensor 23 detects that the temperature of the bearing housing 5 has dropped to a preset lower limit, such as 30°C, the PLC controller will control the solenoid valve 22 to reduce the valve opening, reduce the speed of the external water pump, and reduce the cooling water flow to save water resources and energy and achieve heat dissipation on demand.
[0038] During long-term use, scale easily accumulates on the inner wall of cooling water pipe 7, affecting the flow of cooling water and heat dissipation. At this time, the descaling agent 13 installed in the cleaning pipe 9 slowly dissolves under the immersion of cooling water. The dissolved descaling agent 13 flows with the cooling water within the cooling water pipe 7, reacting chemically with the scale on the inner wall of the pipe, decomposing the scale into soluble substances. Simultaneously, commands can be periodically sent to the PLC controller via an external control system. The PLC controller controls the sliding frame 11 to slide back and forth within the groove 10 of the cleaning pipe 9. The sliding frame 11 drives the connecting cylinder 12, allowing the descaling agent 13 within the connecting cylinder 12 to mix more thoroughly with the cooling water, improving the descaling effect. The decomposed scale-soluble substances flow with the cooling water to the drain pipe at the lowest point of the cooling water pipe 7. Periodically opening the shut-off valve on the drain pipe allows the wastewater containing scale-soluble substances to be discharged, achieving the cleaning and descaling of the cooling water pipe 7, ensuring unobstructed flow and effective heat dissipation.
[0039] During equipment operation, the lubrication system operates continuously to reduce wear on the bearings inside bearing housing 5 and ensure normal bearing operation. Under gravity, lubricating oil in oil injection pipe 16 drips through dropper 17 into the lubrication holes of bearing housing 5 at a rate of 1-2 drops / second. The lubricating oil flows into the bearing interior along the lubrication holes, forming a lubricating film between the rolling elements and the inner and outer rings. This lubricating film reduces friction and wear between the rolling elements and the inner and outer rings, reduces heat generated by friction, and also acts as a rust and dust preventer, protecting the bearing from external impurities and extending its service life. During equipment operation, the working status of the lubrication system can be monitored in real time by a PLC controller. If abnormal oil dripping is detected by dropper 17, the PLC controller will promptly issue an alarm signal to remind personnel to inspect and maintain the equipment.
