Modular Roll Stand Support for Flexible Force Measurement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rolling blocks are inflexible and cannot accommodate varying numbers and arrangements of rolling stands, leading to distorted measurement signals and inefficient force transmission, which affects the precision and stability of the rolling process.
Innovation Solution
A modular stand support system with multiple support modules attached to a common base and cover frame, allowing flexible arrangement and secure mounting of rolling stands, incorporating torque-free tilting and force measurement to enhance precision and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a rolling block is designed for a predetermined number of rolling stands arranged together, then the structure is simple and stable, but it cannot be flexibly adapted to different requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The rolling block is divided into multiple independent support modules, each capable of supporting a single rolling stand. These modules can be selectively assembled to accommodate different numbers and configurations of rolling stands, enabling flexible adaptation without requiring complete redesign of the entire structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The support modules are designed with adjustable and detachable connections to the common base frame and cover frame, allowing the rolling block configuration to be dynamically changed according to different rolling requirements, rather than being fixed for a predetermined number of stands.
2Measurement precision
If rolling stands are clamped together in a common structure, then the overall stability is maintained, but measurement signals are distorted due to force interference
Solution Approach 1:
Each rolling stand is mounted on its own independent support module, which is detachably connected to the common base frame and cover frame. This segmentation isolates the force transmission paths, allowing accurate measurement of forces on individual stands without interference from adjacent stands, while the common frames maintain overall structural stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all rolling stands are accommodated together in a single rolling block, then space utilization is efficient, but the system cannot be flexibly reconfigured
Solution Approach 1:
The rolling block is constructed from multiple interchangeable support modules that can be selectively assembled. This allows the system to be configured with the exact number of rolling stands needed for each production requirement, optimizing both flexibility and utilization efficiency by avoiding unused structural capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The common base frame and cover frame serve as universal supporting structures that can accommodate different numbers and types of support modules. This universal design enables the same rolling block structure to be reconfigured for various rolling stand arrangements without requiring dedicated structures for each configuration.
