Technical Field
The invention relates to an upper roll group bracket positioning and locking device and a roll changing method of a row straightener, in particular to an upper roll group bracket positioning and locking device and a roll changing method of an operation side frame movable high-rigidity small section steel row straightener.
Background
A positioning and locking device and a method for an upper roller group bracket belong to the small steel row straightening technology in the field of steel rolling and are applied to the integral automatic roller changing process of a row straightening machine. The upper roll group bracket is matched with an automatic roll changing vehicle to quickly and integrally change all upper and lower straightening rolls, and the method is one of automatic roll changing process methods of the in-row straightening machine.
In the frame-movable in-line leveler, a frame on the operation side thereof is movable; the upper straightening roller system and the lower straightening roller system are both of three-section type assembling combined structures formed by bearing seats at two ends and a straightening roller positioned in the middle. In the three-section assembled combined straightening roll system structure, bearing blocks at two ends are respectively arranged in racks fixed at two sides of a row of straightening machines, and the relative positions of the bearing blocks are changed along with the racks at the two sides during roll change without departing from the racks respectively; the straightening roller is positioned in the middle of the rack, when the rack is separated and is in a roller changing operation state, the upper straightening roller and the lower straightening roller can be integrally moved out of the rack by means of the upper roller group bracket and the automatic roller changing vehicle after being separated from the roller system structure along the axial direction.
Before the roll changing process begins, the straightening operation is in an end state; the automatic roll changing vehicle is arranged in the in-row straightening machine, wheels of the automatic roll changing vehicle are located on the track of the roll changing separation platform, and a non-bearing structure of the automatic roll changing vehicle does not interfere with the rotation of the lower straightening roll. When an automatic connection program between the automatic roll changing carts of the upper roll group bracket needs to be executed, the automatic roll changing carts are lifted upwards by a lifting hydraulic cylinder on the roll changing separation platform, and the bearing shaft necks of the lower straightening rolls are matched with the corresponding arc-shaped groove structures of the automatic roll changing carts to form the supporting conditions for the lower straightening rolls.
Before the roll changing process begins, the upper roll group bracket is positioned at the inlet end of the row of the straightener. After the process of the automatic roller changing process is started, an upper roller group bracket is arranged between an upper straightening roller group and a lower straightening roller group and drives into a rack of the row straightening machine to be positioned by depending on the bearing and the driving of a supporting roller surface in a front rack at the inlet end of the row straightening machine and the bearing and the driving of a lower straightening roller neck of the row straightening machine; when necessary procedures such as integral descending of an upper straightening roll group by a preset height, upward jacking of an automatic roll changing vehicle under the action of a hydraulic cylinder ascending and descending of a roll changing separation platform, automatic splicing and connection of an upper roll group bracket and the automatic roll changing vehicle are executed, when a rack of the in-row straightening machine is separated, the roll changing separation platform is pushed to a roll changing station along a guide rail along with an operation side rack, after an upper rail of the roll changing separation platform is butted with a ground fixed rail, the upper roll group bracket and all old straightening rolls carried on the automatic roll changing vehicle are integrally horizontally moved out from the rail of the in-row straightening machine roll changing separation platform to the ground fixed rail, the upper roll group bracket carrying all new straightening rolls and the automatic roll changing vehicle are driven into the rail of the in-row straightening machine rack roll changing separation platform in a roll changing state from the ground fixed rail, and the whole replacement process of the new and old straightening rolls is completed after the corresponding procedures are executed.
One of the key problems to be solved by the integral automatic roll changing process is the accurate positioning of the profile steel advancing direction (or called as longitudinal direction) of the upper roll group bracket in the frame of the row of the straightening machine. In the process of guiding the upper roll group bracket into the rack of the row of the straightener, the upper roll group bracket is supported by a supporting roll surface at a profile steel inlet and a lower straightening roll surface of the row of the straightener, the height coordinate of the top of the supporting roll surface can be preset, the diameter of a roll neck at the supporting position of the lower straightening roll is a fixed value, and the height position of the upper roll group bracket in the traveling process of the rack of the row of the straightener is not changed all the time; therefore, after the upper roll group bracket enters the row of straightening machines, the longitudinal positioning of the upper roll group bracket in the rack is accurately implemented, and the relative positions of the upper roll group bracket, the straightening rolls and the automatic roll changing vehicle, which are consistent with the designed roll changing operation requirement, between the upper roll group bracket and the upper straightening rolls can be ensured; under the condition, the roll necks of all the upper straightening rolls can be ensured to fall into the set bearing position on the upper roll group bracket correctly, and the upper roll group bracket is ensured to be automatically assembled and connected with the automatic roll changing vehicle quickly and correctly, so that the automatic integral replacement of all new and old straightening rolls in the row straightening machine is realized.

The upper roller group bracket is used in the roller changing operation of the row of the straightening machines, is matched with the automatic roller changing vehicle, and bears the upper straightening roller group to carry out the roller changing operation. The upper roll group bracket is supported by a supporting roll surface of a supporting roll and a roll surface of a lower straightening roll of the row straightening machine when driving in/out of the row straightening machine; when the supporting roll and the lower straightening roll rotate, the supporting roll and the lower straightening roll can drive in/out from the frame of the row of the straightening machine.
The upper roller set bracket includes: the device comprises a side vertical plate, a front end vertical plate, a rear end vertical plate, a cross beam and a positioning block; the side vertical plates on the two sides are connected with the front end vertical plate, the rear end vertical plate and the cross beam to form a frame type structure; the middle part of the front end vertical plate is pasted with a reflecting film for position tracking, and the clamping parts at the two sides are pasted with welding backing plates. The lower bottom surfaces of the side vertical plates on the two sides of the upper roll group bracket are supported on the surface of the supporting roll and the roll surface of the roll neck at the two ends of the lower straightening roll when entering the row straightening machine; when the supporting rollers and the lower straightening rollers rotate, the brackets of the upper roller group are driven to drive into the racks of the row of the straightening machines. The upper surface of the side vertical plate at the two sides of the upper roll group bracket is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped groove structures for enabling the upper straightening roll to fall and positioning roll necks at the two ends of the upper straightening roll; the arc surface of the groove structure is matched with the outer diameter of the roll neck at the supporting positions at the two ends of the upper straightening roll; the circle centers of all the circular arc-shaped grooves are on the same horizontal straight line. The side vertical plates at two sides of the upper roller group bracket are provided with an inclined plane structure near the front end vertical plate, and positioning blocks are arranged near the rear end vertical plate and used for positioning relative to the automatic roller changing vehicle. Besides being used as a connecting component, the front end vertical plate of the upper roller set bracket has the main function of being defined as a positioning component matched with the locking device.
The roll neck structures at the two ends of the upper straightening roll are matched with the circular arc grooves on the side vertical plates at the two sides of the upper roll group bracket; when the roll necks at the two ends of the upper straightening roll are supported on the upper roll group bracket, the circle center of the roll necks is superposed with the circular arc-shaped circle center of the groove on the side vertical plate.
The roll neck structures at the two ends of the lower straightening roll are matched with the circular arc grooves on the side vertical plates at the two sides of the automatic roll changing vehicle; when the roll necks at the two ends of the upper straightening roll are supported on the automatic roll changing vehicle, the circle center of the roll necks is superposed with the circle center of the arc of the groove on the side vertical plate. When the roller changing program is executed, the roller necks at the two ends of the lower straightening roller bear the lower surfaces of the vertical plates at the two sides of the upper roller group bracket and drive the lower straightening roller to enter/exit the rack of the row straightening machine.
And the automatic roll changing trolley is matched with the upper roll group bracket to implement an integral roll changing process. The automatic roll changing vehicle has the functions of carrying a lower straightening roll and carrying an upper straightening roll through a bracket of an upper roll group, lifting the whole in a rack of the row of straightening machines by virtue of a roll changing separation platform and a lifting hydraulic cylinder, and driving in/out by virtue of an upper track of the roll changing separation platform.
The supporting roller is arranged in the front frame and can rotate under the action of a driving mechanism of the supporting roller; the elevation of the surface of the roller can be adjusted under the driving of the lifting mechanism of the roller. When the roller changing operation program is executed, the supporting roller adjusts the top surface elevation of the roller surface of the supporting roller to be at the same numerical value with the top surface elevation of the supporting roller necks at the two ends of the lower straightening roller, namely, when the top surface of the supporting roller and the top surface of the supporting roller necks of the lower straightening roller are positioned on the same horizontal plane, the supporting roller is conveyed to the upper roller group bracket.
The swing support, the hydraulic cylinder, the rotary trunnion and the pin shaft which are contained in the upper roller group bracket positioning and locking device are installed in the rear frame, and the positioning device, the locking device and the distance measuring module are installed on the swing support.
The swing support is used for carrying the positioning mechanism, the locking mechanism and the distance measuring device. The tail part of the swing bracket is connected with the rack at a fixed position of the rack through a rotary trunnion; the upper station and the lower station of the swing bracket are realized by the driving of a hydraulic cylinder. The tail end of the hydraulic cylinder is hung at the upper part of the frame, and the end of the piston rod is hinged with the swinging bracket through a pin shaft; when the hydraulic cylinder moves in a telescopic mode, the swing support swings around the center of the rotary trunnion on the rack. In the roll changing operation, the swing bracket swings and descends and is positioned at a station for positioning and locking the upper roll set bracket; during straightening operation, the swing bracket swings to the upper position and is positioned at a station where the section steel is straightened.
And the positioning mechanism is used for longitudinally positioning the upper roll group bracket in the row of straightening machines. The positioning mechanism is arranged at the lower part of the front end of the swinging bracket and symmetrically arranged on two sides of the center line of the swinging bracket. The positioning mechanism includes: stop head, sleeve, spring holder 1, spring holder 2, backing plate, nut, proximity switch (1). In the roll changing operation, when the upper roll group bracket enters the frame of the in-row straightener to be in place, the outer surface of the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roll group bracket is contacted with the stop head of the positioning mechanism, so that the upper roll group bracket is longitudinally positioned in the in-row straightener. The proximity switch 1 is used for roughly positioning the upper roll group bracket; the working principle is as follows: the upper surface of the vertical plate at the front end of the roller group bracket is used as an induction surface, and signals of the position of the vertical plate, which enters the rack of the row of straightening machines and reaches the front end and the stop head are extracted and used as signals for triggering the transmission control of the supporting rollers and the transmission control of the lower straightening rollers. Because the positioning mechanism is internally provided with the spring as a buffer component for the upper roll set bracket to be in moving contact with the stop head, after the upper roll set bracket is in moving contact with the stop head, the spring rebounds under the action of the spring, so that the outer surface of the front end vertical plate of the upper roll set bracket is separated from the stop head, and therefore, after the proximity switch (1) sends a signal and the lower straightening roll stops rotating, the locking mechanism is utilized to accurately position the upper roll set bracket for the second time.
And the locking mechanism is matched with the positioning mechanism to realize locking and positioning of the upper roll set bracket in the positioning process. The locking mechanisms are arranged on two sides of the positioning mechanism at the front end of the swing bracket to swingThe frame central lines are symmetrically arranged. The locking mechanism includes: corner cylinder, proximity switch (2), proximity switch (3). And the corner cylinder is used for locking the position of the upper roller set bracket. The proximity switches 2 and 3 are used for detecting the position of the corner cylinder clamping arm. The clamping arm in the corner cylinder has the technical characteristic of presenting two-stage motion of rotation and linear motion in the linear motion process of the piston rod. When the corner cylinder is arranged on the swing support, the reference 0 position is that the clamping arm is in a vertical state when a piston rod of the corner cylinder is completely retracted into the cylinder body, and the proximity switch 2 receives a sensing signal of the retraction position of the clamping arm in the vertical state; under the state that the piston rod is totally stretched out of the cylinder body, the clamping arm is in a horizontal state, and the proximity switch 3 receives a sensing signal of the stretching position of the clamping arm in the horizontal state. When the piston rod of the corner cylinder enters a gradually extending state from the initial position of all the returned cylinder bodies, the first stage makes linear motion in a vertical state, and the second stage positively rotates the clamping arm 90 degrees from the vertical state0Is in a horizontal state; when the piston rod of the corner cylinder is in a gradually retreating state from the position where the piston rod of the corner cylinder is fully extended out of the cylinder body, the clamping arm in the first stage reversely rotates 90 degrees from the horizontal state0Is in a vertical state, and the second stage does linear motion in the vertical state. The locking mechanism utilizes the technical characteristics of two-stage motion of the corner cylinder, and the clamping arm pulls the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roller set bracket in a completely extending and vertical state, so that the inner surface of the locking mechanism is kept in contact with the stopper of the positioning mechanism. In the process, when the upper roller group bracket enters a rack of the row straightening machine and the outer surface of a front end vertical plate of the upper roller group bracket approaches/reaches a stop contact surface of the positioning mechanism, the upper surface (horizontal surface) of the front end vertical plate of the upper roller group bracket enters the lower part of the clamping arm in the horizontal state of the corner cylinder and a certain safety interval is reserved; when the clamping arm pulls the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roller group bracket, the piston rod of the corner cylinder performs retreating action, and the clamping arm rotates in the reverse direction by 90 degrees in a horizontal state0The back part is vertical, and the corresponding surface of the clamping arm and the inner surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roll group bracket form a parallel surface position relation with a certain distance; the piston rod of the corner cylinder continues to perform a retreating action,the clamping arm continuously retreats in a vertical state, and the corresponding surface of the clamping arm is in contact with the inner surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roll group bracket and drives the upper roll group bracket to move forwards until the gap between the outer surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roll group bracket and the contact surface of the stopper of the positioning mechanism is eliminated; at the moment, the contact surfaces of the clamping arms and the stoppers of the positioning mechanism are matched to clamp and lock the inner surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roller group bracket, so that the upper roller group bracket is accurately positioned in the row of the straightener in the longitudinal direction.
The distance measuring device includes: and the distance measuring module and the control system are used for dynamically controlling the conveying speed and the mechanism action of the upper roll group brackets at different longitudinal positions in the row of the straightening machines in real time. The distance measuring module is arranged in a cavity arranged in the middle of the swing support and used for dynamically measuring the advancing/retreating real-time position of the upper roller set bracket, and the control system implements control strategies of different speeds, locking and the like according to the real-time position of the upper roller set bracket in the row of the straightener reflected by the signal feedback of the distance measuring module.

As shown in fig. 2, the roll neck structures at two ends of the upper straightening roll 4 are matched with the circular arc grooves on the side vertical plates 3.1 at two sides of the upper roll group bracket 3; when the roll necks at the two ends of the upper straightening roll 4 are supported on the upper roll group bracket 3, the circle center of the roll necks is superposed with the circle center of the arc of the groove on the side vertical plate.
As shown in fig. 5, the roll neck structures at two ends of the lower straightening roll 5 are matched with the circular arc grooves on the side vertical plates 6.1 at two sides of the automatic roll changing vehicle 6; when the roll necks at the two ends of the upper straightening roll 4 are supported on the automatic roll changing trolley 6, the circle center of the roll necks is superposed with the circular arc-shaped circle center of the groove on the side vertical plate. When the roll changing procedure is executed, roll necks at two ends of the lower straightening roll 5 support lower surfaces of vertical plates 3.1 at two sides of the upper roll group bracket 3 and drive the lower straightening roll to enter/exit the rack of the row of straightening machines.
As shown in fig. 5, the automatic roll changing carriage 6 is matched with the upper roll set bracket 3 to implement an integral roll changing process. The automatic roll changing vehicle 6 has the functions of carrying a lower straightening roll 5, carrying an upper straightening roll 4 with an upper roll group bracket 3, lifting a hydraulic cylinder 7.2 by a roll changing separation platform 7, lifting the whole in the frame of the row of the straightening machine, and driving in/out by a track 7.3 on the roll changing separation platform 7.
As shown in fig. 1, the supporting roller 2 is installed in the front frame and can rotate under the action of a driving mechanism of the supporting roller; the elevation of the surface of the roller can be adjusted under the driving of the lifting mechanism of the roller. The supporting roll 2, when carrying out roll change operation procedure, adjust the top surface elevation of 2 roll surfaces of supporting roll to be in same numerical value with the top surface elevation of 5 both ends bearing roller necks of lower leveling roll, when the top surface of 2 supporting roll and the top surface of 5 bearing roller necks of lower leveling roll are located same horizontal plane promptly, carry roller group bracket 3.
As shown in fig. 6 to 10, the swing bracket 8.1, the hydraulic cylinder 8.2, the rotary trunnion 8.3, and the pin 8.4 included in the upper roller group bracket positioning and locking device 8 are installed in the rear frame 9, and the positioning device 8.6, the locking device 8.7, and the distance measuring module 8.8 are installed on the swing bracket 8.1.
As shown in fig. 6 to 10, the swing bracket 8.1 is used for mounting a positioning mechanism 8.6, a locking mechanism 8.7 and a distance measuring device 8.8. The tail part of the swing bracket 8.1 is connected with the frame 9 at a fixed position of the frame 9 through a rotary trunnion 8.3; the upper station and the lower station of the swing bracket 8.1 are realized by the driving of the hydraulic cylinder 8.2. The tail end of the hydraulic cylinder 8.2 is hung at the upper part of the frame 9, and the end of the piston rod is hinged with the swing bracket through a pin shaft 8.4; when the hydraulic cylinder 8.2 performs telescopic motion, the swing bracket 8.1 swings around the center of a rotary trunnion 8.3 on the frame. In the roll changing operation, the swing bracket 8.1 swings and descends and is positioned at a station for positioning and locking the upper roll set bracket 3; during the straightening operation, the swing bracket 8.1 swings to the upper position and is positioned at a section steel passing straightening station.
As shown in fig. 6 to 10, the positioning mechanism 8.6 is used for longitudinal positioning of the upper roll stack carriages 3 in the row of levelers. The positioning mechanism 8.6 is arranged at the lower part of the front end of the swinging bracket 8.1 and symmetrically arranged at two sides of the center line of the swinging bracket 8.1. The positioning mechanism 8.6 comprises: stop 8.6.1, sleeve 8.6.2, spring holder (1)8.6.3, spring 8.6.4, spring holder (2)8.6.5, backing plate 8.6.6, nut 8.6.7, proximity switch (1) 8.6.8. In the roll changing operation, when the upper roll group bracket 3 enters the frame of the row of the straightener to be in place, the outer surface of the front end vertical plate 3.2 of the upper roll group bracket 3 is contacted with the stopper 8.6.1 of the positioning mechanism 8.6, so that the upper roll group bracket 3 is longitudinally positioned in the row of the straightener. The proximity switch (1)8.6.8 is used for coarse positioning of the upper roller group bracket 3; the working principle is as follows: the upper surface of the vertical plate 3.2 at the front end of the upper roller group bracket 3 is used as a sensing surface, and signals of the position where the upper roller group bracket enters the rack of the row of straightening machines to reach the front end and reach the stop 8.6.1 are extracted and used as signals for triggering the transmission control of the supporting roller 2 and the transmission control of the lower straightening roller 5. Because the spring 8.6.4 is arranged in the positioning mechanism 8.6 and serves as a buffer component for the upper roller group bracket 3 to be in motion contact with the stopper 8.6.1, after the upper roller group bracket 3 is in motion contact with the stopper 8.6.1, the spring 8.6.4 has a rebound phenomenon, so that the outer surface of the front end vertical plate 3.2 of the upper roller group bracket 3 is separated from the stopper 8.6.1, and therefore, after the proximity switch (1)8.6.8 sends a signal and the lower straightening roller 5 stops rotating, the upper roller group bracket 3 is secondarily and accurately positioned by the locking mechanism 8.7.
As shown in fig. 6 to 10, the locking mechanism 8.7 cooperates with the positioning mechanism 8.6 to achieve locking and positioning of the upper roller set bracket 3 in the positioning process. The locking mechanisms 8.7 are arranged on two sides of the front end positioning mechanism 8.6 of the swing bracket 8.1 and are symmetrically arranged on the center line of the swing bracket 8.1. The locking mechanism 8.7 comprises: corner cylinder 8.7.1, proximity switch (2)8.7.4 and proximity switch (3) 8.7.5. The corner cylinder 8.7.1 is used for position locking of the upper roll set bracket 3. The proximity switches (2)8.7.4 and (3)8.7.5 are used for detecting the position of the corner cylinder clamping arm 8.7.2. The clamp arm 8.7.2 of the corner cylinder 8.7.1 has the technical characteristic of exhibiting two-stage motion of rotation and linear motion during linear motion of the piston rod 8.7.3. When the corner cylinder 8.7.1 is mounted on the swing bracket, the reference 0 position is that the clamping arm 8.7.2 is in a vertical state when the piston rod 8.7.3 of the corner cylinder 8.7.1 is completely retracted into the cylinder 8.7.4, and the proximity switch (2)8.7.4 receives a sensing signal of the retracted position of the clamping arm 8.7.2 in the vertical state; in a state where the piston rod 8.7.3 is fully extended out of the cylinder 8.7.4, the clamp arm 8.7.2 is in a horizontal state, and the proximity switch (3)8.7.5 receives a signal indicating the extended position of the clamp arm 8.7.2 in the horizontal state. When the piston rod 8.7.3 of the corner cylinder 8.7.1 enters a gradually extending state from the initial position of the all-retracted cylinder 8.7.4, the first stage moves linearly in the vertical state, and the second stage rotates the clamp arm 90 forward from the vertical state0Is in a horizontal state; when the piston rod 8.7.2 of the angle cylinder 8.7.1 is brought into a gradually retreated state from a position where it is fully extended from the cylinder 8.7.4, the first-stage clamp arm 8.7.2 is reversely rotated 90 from a horizontal state0Is in a vertical state, and the second stage does linear motion in the vertical state. The locking mechanism 8.7 utilizes the technical characteristic of two-stage motion of the corner cylinder 8.7.1, and the clamping arm 8.7.2 pulls the vertical plate 3.2 at the front end of the upper roller group bracket 3 in a completely extending vertical stateAnd moved so that its inner surface remains in contact with the detent 8.6.1 of the positioning mechanism 8.6. In the process, when the upper roller group bracket 3 enters a rack of a row of straightening machines and the outer surface of a front end vertical plate 3.2 of the upper roller group bracket 3 approaches/reaches the contact surface of a stopper 8.6.1 of a positioning mechanism 8.6, the upper surface (horizontal surface) of the front end vertical plate 3.2 of the upper roller group bracket 3 enters the lower part of a clamping arm 8.7.2 in the horizontal state of a corner cylinder 8.7.1 and a certain safety interval is reserved; when the clamping arm pulls the vertical plate at the front end of the upper roller group bracket, the piston rod of the corner cylinder performs retreating action, and the clamping arm 8.7.2 rotates in reverse 90 directions in a horizontal state0The rear part is in a vertical state, and the corresponding surface of the clamping arm 8.7.2 and the inner surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate 3.2 at the front end of the upper roller group bracket 3 form a parallel surface position relation with a certain distance; the piston rod 8.7.3 of the corner cylinder 8.7.1 continues to retreat, the clamping arm continues to retreat in a vertical state, the corresponding surface of the clamping arm 8.7.1 contacts with the inner surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate 3.2 at the front end of the upper roller group bracket 3 and drives the upper roller group bracket 3 to move forwards until the clearance between the outer surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate 3.2 at the front end of the upper roller group bracket 3 and the contact surface of the stopper 8.6.1 of the positioning mechanism 8.6 is eliminated; at this time, the contact surface of the clamping arm 8.7.2 and the stopper 8.6.1 of the positioning mechanism 8.6 are matched to form clamping and locking on the inner surface (vertical surface) of the vertical plate 3.2 at the front end of the upper roller group bracket 3, so that the longitudinal accurate positioning of the upper roller group bracket 3 in the row straightener is realized.
As shown in fig. 9, the distance measuring device 8.8 comprises: and the distance measuring module 8.8.1 and the control system 8.8.2 are used for dynamically controlling the conveying speed and the mechanism action of the upper roll group bracket 3 at different longitudinal positions in the row of the straightener in real time. The distance measuring module 8.8.1 is installed in a cavity arranged in the middle of the swing support and used for dynamically measuring the advancing/retreating real-time position of the upper roller group bracket 3, and the control system 8.8.2 implements control strategies such as different speeds, locking and the like according to the real-time position of the upper roller group bracket 3 in the row of the straightener reflected by the signal feedback of the distance measuring module 8.8.1.
