This invention relates to wound generally those rolling mills in which the ¥ alzgut into cylindrical collars is _o This invention, in particular, but is concerned with a Bundübergabe- and coil transport device, and with a coil transfer and bundtransportsystera, from / the the Walzgutbunde of the collar winding station of Rolling mill are taken over and then transported in a vertical position on a track along which the subsequent machining operations are to be carried out.

In the earlier bar and wire rod mills, the bar or wire rod was rolled from square billets - 2 inches per side - to a length of 30 feet, with the resulting rolled stock being wound into coils weighing approximately 400 pounds. These 'bundles, which had almost the dimensions and shape of truck tires, were transported by normal overhead hook conveyors and cooled on these hook conveyors. Over the years, however, there has been a constant demand for ever larger bundles. For example, a modern wire rod mill can produce coils weighing up to h 250 lbs, with an inside diameter of approximately 33 l / 3 inches, with an outside diameter of k9 inches, and with a height that is 112 inches before the compaction process, with after upon compaction this height is reduced by about 35 per cent to 73 inches.

It used to be common to put these large bundles in vertically

to form and wrap a bundle winding in front of a core or a wing. After the winding process, these bundles were tilted from the vertical position by 90 to the horizontal position and then transferred to the hook conveyor system. Because of the large size of the now Bunde produced must such Hakenforderex \ systerne a long time and have very robust hooks, often with stabilizing rollers and counterweights to control the horizontal position of the hooks, _or because of the large height (or length) of the league, the hooks were common practice with their Axes aligned at right angles to the direction of transport of the bundles. A drive-free movement of the hooks has proven to be necessary so that processing operations - trimming, compacting, tying and separating the bundles - can be carried out during the transport of these bundles. "Such complicated, non-driven conveyor systems with which the bundles either accumulated densely or independently can be transported by other bundles as required, make a massive construction of the support structures and the overhead tracks necessary.

The weight and dimensions of the coils produced on modern rolling mills are combined with the weight and dimensions of the long carrying hooks used for transporting these bundles then the load-carrying capacity of the usual overhead conveyor systems is exceeded can be used universally in industry, especially

Particularly in foundries and in the automobile assembly halls to be feared. Because the bundle weights continue to increase, these conveyor systems must be specially designed and constructed for the application, which will result in large increases in costs for the plant owner. The support structures and the running rails will also have to be designed to be larger in size, which in turn results in an increase in costs. These massive steel structures clog the coil processing areas to such an extent that overhead traveling cranes have practically no access to the coils. Finally, because the bundle weights and bundle dimensions continue to get bigger, the risk of a bundle shape deviation as well as damage to or marking of the surface of the product becomes an ever greater problem that cannot be solved by conventional bundle transfer and bundle transport systems _o Because of all these problems a better coil transfer and coil transport system with better performance is required so that current and future requirements can be met.

The aim of this invention is for this reason to create a new and improved federal handover and bundle transport device as well as a new and improved bundle transfer and bundle transport system,

In the following, with reference to FIGS. 1A to IC an exemplary embodiment of a bundle transfer and burid transport device as well as a Buridüberg £ * loading and bundle transport system.

a) The device and the system

The system starts at the coil forming stations of the rolling mill - two of these coil forming stations are marked with the note CPS ₁ and CFS ₀ - and then extends to the coil transfer station marked with CTS . For the sake of clarity, these roller conveyor sections, which are parallel to one another, are _{marked with the general reference numbers A 1} to A. ¥ ie will be described in more detail in the further course of the patent application, the aforementioned roller conveyor lines consist of roller table modular units aligned with one another, which are individually driven .. - (shown in more detail with Fig. 5 to Fig. 7) and with the general reference number M ₀ (Fig _u 8 to Fig. IO) are identified. The roller conveyor sections are each connected to one another by laterally displaceable, mechanical transfer car systems. These laterally displaceable transfer carriages and their mechanics are marked with the general reference numbers TC. up to TC _q . _{The roller conveyor modules M 1} belong to the roller conveyor lines A_ to A 0n, each of which is on a turntable

Before a description of the mode of operation or the function of the overall system should be the essential components described and explained in detail below.

b) Roller table modular units

As is apparent from Fig. 4 to Fig. 7, there is the frame structure the roller table modular units essentially from the laterally arranged U-profiles 2, the in the appropriate places with the construction elements 3 (Fig. 3) bridged and connected to each other are. From the laterally arranged U-profiles 2 the ends of several roller table rollers 4, which are arranged parallel to one another, are held. On one At the end of the roller table rollers 4 either pulleys or sprockets 5, which by means of chains or Belts 6 are connected to one another ^ In addition, one or more of the rollers are more suitable by means of means Sprockets or pulleys and a chain or belt with a reduction gear 7 connected, which in turn is driven by a motor 8. The reduction gear 7 and the Motor 8 are arranged under the roller table rollers 4 and there on one between the lateral U-profiles

It can thus be seen that each Rollg; mg module unit M _{1 is} a self-contained unit that is suitable for mounting at any desired location, for example on the bases 9 »which are arranged in a trench that is in Extends longitudinally transversely through the bottom 10 of the left handover and coil transport zone. The modular units M ₁ can easily be placed on the bases 9 and held there by means of the bolts 11, which ^{are attached to the plates - these plates:} 12 are anchored by embedded U-anchors / fn with the sub-frames 9. The bolts 11 are guided through the feet 14 belonging to the roller table modular units. Preferably, resilient pads 15 are arranged between the plate 12 and the base lk , which dampen the vibrations and reduce the noise to a minimum. The feet Ik are pressed down by a holding plate lk , which in turn is held in place by a unit 17 consisting of a bolt and nut which is screwed into a threaded hole or a threaded bore in the plate 12.

As can be seen from FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, the roller table module units M " _{are designed similarly to the roller table module units M 1} in that they are also assigned lateral U-profiles 2, which are formed by the construction elements 3 and 3 ^{1 are} bridged and connected to one another in a suitable manner. The roller table rollers h are arranged between the two lateral U-profiles 2, whereas the other rollers, which with the

A further and more complete description of the roller table modular units M ₁ and M ₀ has been given by the applicant in a separate patent application. In this context, it is sufficient to understand that the roller table module units are designed and constructed in such a way that they can be set up and assembled at suitable points along the path of the coil movement through the coil transfer and Ijund transport zone. The modular roller table units are driven individually and separately by a device which is arranged below the plane defined by the roller table rollers. The modular roller table units are designed in such a way that they can be exchanged quickly, which is an advantage from a maintenance point of view. In the longitudinal direction behind

Arranged with one another, as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the roller table modular units M ₁ and M "form roller conveyor sections A ₁ to A ₀ , which are fully accessible from the sides and from above ο

c) Transfer car mechanics

It has already been mentioned that the transfer car and its mechanics, general reference number TC ₁ to TC_, are used as a device that moves the collars in the lateral direction from one roller conveyor line to another roller conveyor line general reference number TC ₁ in Fig. IA marked is shown in more detail _and with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12

The transfer _{carriage mechanism TC 1} includes an upper frame construction with the construction elements 18 which are arranged parallel to one another and which are connected to one another at suitable points by means of the transverse elements 19. This frame structure also includes the wheels 20, which are designed in such a way that they are located on the rails 21 and run on these rails 21. A chain guide with an upper part 22a open at the top and a lower part 22b is arranged between the rails 21. A track tensioning wheel 23 is associated with the end of the chain guide, while a driven sprocket 24 associated with the other end _o A chain 25 is connected at one end with a chain connector 26, the top of the Rahmenkon-

Structure from extending downwards. The chain runs along the upper chain guide 22a., Over the drive sprocket 24, along the lower chain guide 22b, over the chain tensioning wheel 23 and back over the upper chain guide 22a, where the other end is again connected to the chain connector 26. The drive sprocket 24 is driven by a reduction gear 27 and by a motor 28. The upper frame structure is designed in such a way that two roller _{table modular units M 1} can be mounted on it (as shown by a dash-dot line in FIG is). By means of a suitable control of the motor 28, the transfer carriage can be moved on the rails 21 in such a way that the roller table module units M _{1 carried by it} either move to the roller conveyor routes A ₀ to A and A 1 to A (as can be seen from the drawing ), is aligned, or abar on the roller conveyor line A ₁ and the roller conveyor lines A "to A ₀

As far as the other versions of the transfer car mechanics are concerned, ie the versions TC ₂ to TC _Q , they work in a similar manner. Each transfer car runs along the rails under the influence of a drive device which is located below the transport level of the roller table module units. However, certain versions of the transfer carriage mechanics differ in the number and arrangement of the roller table modular units attached to them. This is made clear by the table below: -

For reasons that will be discussed in detail below, it will sometimes be necessary to turn the coils by 180 when they are transported on pallets along a certain roller conveyor route. In the system shown, this is in roller conveyor routes A "and A _{? f} : required, which is why two versions of the turntable mechanism are provided. These two versions are identified by the references T ₁ and T _p . Both versions of the turntable mechanism are essentially identical in construction, so that only one turntable mechanism, ie the turntable mechanism T, is described with reference to FIGS. A hub mechanism includes a frame structure, the wheels 34 are arranged such that they run at an arranged among them support rail 35 _o to the upper part of the frame construction includes the side members 36 and the cross connector 37 'are cooperating in such a way that from them two roller module units M _{1 are} held.

The one that still belongs to the frame construction circular or ring-shaped chain guides 38 is in the same plane with chain drive sprocket 39 in arranged. This Kettonantriobsrad 39 sits on the vertically aligned drive shaft of a reduction gear 4o, which in turn is driven by a motor 4l. One end of one Chain 42 is connected to the frame at the point indicated by the general reference number 42 '. The chain 42 runs partially around the chain guide 38, then around the chain drive wheel 39, then again through the chain guide 38 back to where the other end the chain at the point marked with the general reference number 42 "with the frame construction connected is.

But it should now be clear that with this arrangement the hub for the reorientation of a covenant and / or a pallet over I80 rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise can be.

e) The pallet

If the coils that are produced in the coil forming stations CFS ₁ and CFS are relatively small and thus dimensionally stable, then they can be transported from one position to the other directly on the rollers of the roller table module units. With larger coils, however, as is often the case in modern rolling mills, it may be necessary to provide a support device to ensure that the shape of the coils does not change during transport

Do not tilt the bundles during transport «. To achieve this, the pallets 48 in the with Fig. 4 shown embodiment can be used. These pallets are therefore only briefly described.

The essentially U-shaped support of a pallet 48 consists essentially of the legs 49 arranged at a lateral distance from one another, which on the rear end by means of a cross connector 50 are connected to one another. The surfaces 5I of the legs 49 have a downward slope from front to back. From the leg surfaces 5I the support rods 5 ^ are guided vertically upwards. These support rods 52 are provided with support plates 53 at the rear braced, which rest on the cross connector 50 and are releasably connected to this cross connector 50. To When placed on the pallet 48, a collar C rests with its bottom surface on the surfaces 5I of the legs 49 · The collar will be inclined slightly and will lean against the support bars 52. In this way The Bund then remains during its entire transport through the bundle transfer and bundle transport area in a stable and upright state. Because the bundle is held and transported in an almost vertical position is, a considerable compression of the federal government is already achieved by the weight of the Covenant affects him. This remarkable and desirable property is in stark contrast to it Changes in shape of the collars that have occurred so far, if these bundles on the hook of a conventional hook conveyor system be transported. The distance between

the outer sides of the legs hy is designed in such a way that the pallets _{can be easily moved on the rollers of the roller table modular units M 1} and M _v , the lateral U-profiles 2 of the roller table modular units serving as guides.

f) coil forming stations

The CFS and CFS coil forming stations are essentially identical in construction. Only the coil forming station CFS ₁ is therefore shown and described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

The coil forming station is arranged in such a way that the rolling stock rings "R" are received by it, which are fed to this coil forming station in an overlapping pattern or shape, on a conveyor belt 60 the general Hinweiszhal is characterized 6l * the upper end of this collar forming chamber 6l is in the form of a housing 6l is 'whereas the lower part of this Bundformkammar -from the vertical rods 6l' is formed and bounded _o the collar forming chamber is associated with a roller train with an open side, d _u h . the roller table section A 1o This roller _{table section A 1} consists of the roller _{table modular units M 0} , M ₁ . As shown in Figure 2 and _o Figo 3 is seen a further roller table module unit M in the Bundübergaberaechanik TC ₁ to the roller train A ₁ is aligned.

The rings "R" are gathered around a mandrel 62 when they fall into the collar forming chamber 6l, which is designed in such a way that he

Into driven and Aiialrichtung in a mounted below the chamber 63 can also be moved out in the axial direction from clioncm space 63 "This space 63 is a part of a carriage assembly 63 ', whose wheels are 6h arranged such that they run on the rails 65, the ends 65 'situated at a below the Endrollgang module unit M point obliquely gefühi-t are down _and the carriage assembly 63' can be by means of any conventional mechanism, a portion of which is designated by the general reference numeral 66 and illustrated, rearwardly and moved forward . A collar holding plate 67 is mounted on a separate lifting mechanism - (this lifting mechanism is only shown in Figures 13A to 13G under the general reference number 68) - that with the help of this lifting mechanism 68 they move in the vertical direction within the collar forming chamber 61 on the mandrel 62 can. This embodiment of such a device, which has _{already been described with the TJ 0} S ₀ patent no. 30648 "736, is already known to those skilled in the art.

The operation and function of the band mold station with reference to FIG. I3A to understand through FIG _o i3G best. As can best be seen from FIG. 13A, the wire rings "R" are fed from the conveying ^{device from the upper part of oil 1 to} the collar forming chamber and are temporarily collected there on any suitable device, for example on the retractable retaining bolt "P". The mandrel 62 is in its fully raised position and is axial

aligned with the center of the collar forming chamber. The collar holding plate 67 is also completely raised by the lifting device 68 assigned to it. According to FIG can fall. 13c shows that the collar holding plate is gradually lowered by the lifting mechanism 68 as the collar forming process progresses until the collar forming process is completed. In the representation given with FIG now the falling further rings are collected again above the mandrel. At this time, the lift mechanism 68 moves away from the collar holding plate 67, which is now on a bulletin "S" on the mandrel 62 resting _o On the adjacent roller module unit Mp is a pallet 48 has been so moved into position in which her of such can be taken shaped collar "is now - this is illustrated with Fig I3E -. the Fagenkonstruktion 63 'driven on the rails 65 to the designated position, (the reproduced also in Fig _o 3 with dotted line). At this point, the collar is above the support base or the base plate of the pallet and lies against the vertically upwards

led holding bars 52, but the bottom of the blind is still held by the collar holding plate 6j. The downward slope of the rail ends 65 is designed so that the collar is inclined at the correct angle to the rearwardly sloping surfaces 51 of the pallet holder. From FIG. 13F it can now be seen that the mandrel 62 is then completely withdrawn into the space 63, with the result that the stop "S" is now withdrawn from the collar holding plate 67. This in turn has the consequence that the collar retainer plate 67 falls under the pallet base and then rests on the upper end of the chamber 63; then the mandrel is pulled completely out of the collar. FIG. 13G then shows that the carriage structure 63 'is moved back on the rails 65 to a position in which it is aligned with the axis of the collar forming chamber, so that all parts are brought into the operating state shown in FIG. 13A. The entire functional sequence is repeated while the pallet 48 with the collar located on it is moved out in the lateral direction by the motors that _{drive the roller table modular units M 1} and M_ being brought to work. The aforementioned modular units M .. and M "are components of the roller table section A ₁ .

After Pig. IB, which shows an embodiment of the coil transfer and coil transport system, three coil compacting devices C ₁ to C 1 are contained in this system. These coil compressor devices are identical to one another in terms of design, construction and function, so that only one compressor mechanism is explained and described with reference to FIGS. 20, 21 and 22A to 22H. This description is short because the coil compressor mechanism is the subject of a separate patent application by the same applicant.

20 and 21, the coil compactor mechanism C _{1 is arranged} between the roller conveyor sections or roller table sections A "and A" in such a way that these roller table sections each end with roller table modular units M "arranged opposite one another at the coil compactor. The coil compression mechanism includes a substructure 110 on which a base plate 111 is mounted. This base plate 111 is divided into the two sub-units lilac and 111b, between which there is a side _{distance, (Fig o} 2l) _o From the substructure 110, the posts or rods 112 are guided vertically upwards ₀ These posts or rods 112 hold a crosshead 113 with an upper plate 114 below, which can be moved in the vertical direction. This upper plate Il4 moves back and forth in the guides or tracks 115 and is driven by piston-cylinder units Il6 "

The carriage structure 117 is located below the level the base plate 111. To this carriage structure 117 belong the wheels 118, which are arranged in this way

are that they run on the rails 119, the sloping downwardly leading parts 119 'are located under the final roller table module unit M ~ of the rolling aisle A ~. The carriage structure 117 includes a downwardly extending shaft 12Ο, which is slidably mounted in a mandrel 121, which in turn can move in the axial direction. This mandrel 121 is driven by a piston-cylinder unit or a drive cylinder 122 which is arranged and mounted under the base of the shaft. The aforementioned mandrel 121 extends in the axial direction through a collar holding device 123, which is also mounted on the carriage structure 117 in such a way that it can move vertically via the guide rods 106 and 107 in a limited manner. The carriage structure 117 is moved back and forth on the rails 119 by means of a piston-cylinder structure or a drive cylinder 124 in a reciprocating manner _{or the like}

When the upper plate Hk is lowered, the mandrel 121 is also pulled out in the axial direction, with the result that the collar holding device 123 is lowered somewhat and is then aligned horizontally with the bottom plate 111. This has the consequence that the collar between the plates 114 and 111 is compressed and compressed in the axial direction, while the collar is held by the mandrel 121. Boi implementation of this process are the Endrollgang module units M ₁ and M_ of the roller train A _ driven such and put into operation, that now the unloaded pallet is moved out laterally 48 _o To the fully lcompaktierten and compressed collar are wound retaining bands, which automatically by means of a ( not shown here) device, or can be carried out manually. After the setting process, as can be seen from FIG _o 22F, the upper plate IXK rebooted, and being connected to a re-boot of the mandrel 121 in the uppermost position as well as the collar holding device 123. This is to be understood that to At this point in time, the compressed and tied collar C is again completely held by the collar holder device 123 and by the mandrel 121.

is done in such a way that it is aligned with the roller table section A, the roller table module units of which are now controlled and put into operation in such a way that the empty pallets "get" to the turntable mechanism T. This turntable mechanism rotates the empty pallets by 180, thus their open ends are aligned with the coil forming stations. Now the pallets are pushed onto the transfer mechanism TC ″, which is then moved in such a way that it is aligned with the roller table section A. From here the empty pallets reach the transfer _{carriage mechanism TC 1} , which can be used in such a way that the empty pallets are either fed to the roller table A ₁ or the roller table A "for use at the corresponding coil forming station CFS ₁ or CFSp, or but the empty pallets can be _{fed from the transfer carriage mechanism TC 1 to} the roller table section A and temporarily stored there.

Given the description provided, those skilled in the art can appreciate the advantages made possible by this invention. One of these advantages is that the entire coil transfer and coil transport area does not go through Overhead routes, support structures and the like is more adjusted what was previously the conventional hook conveyor system marked “The coil transfer and coil transport area is by overhead cranes, forklifts and the like more easily accessible. There is a lot of access to the individual coil processing stations The maintenance of these stations can also be better

perform much better. To these processing stations include the fret tilting chairs or fret tilting devices and the coil compactors. Because the roller table module units are each driven individually they can also be easily adapted to a remote control by a control center. By The bundles and / or pallets to be transported can correspondingly be the individual drive of the roller table module units the various machining conditions stopped and started up again and transported. Leave pallets, either loaded or empty can be transported individually or in groups, can be saved temporarily, and can then be saved again be brought to transport "The flexibility inherent in the system is - as can be seen very big advantage.

Another advantage that the bundle transfer and bundle transport The system of this invention offers is that the collars in an upright position or almost be held in a vertical position, depending on whether pallets are used or not, if these bundles be transported through the coil transport area, These precautions prevent waistband deformations, which was previously the case with hook conveyor systems characteristic features were »

Maintenance is simplified due to the ease of expansion and interchangeability of the roller table module units, economical storage of construction elements is guaranteed. Must be a specific one module unit can be serviced, then it can be quickly

be replaced by a replacement unit, so that only a few spare parts are required for the maintenance of the system are. The system can be adapted to the transport of bundles of all sizes. Smaller bunches are transported without a transport pallet. However, if larger bundles are to be transported, then a slight adjustment can be made with the pallets.

All changes and modifications of the described design that are not covered by patent protection differ from the spirit and scope of this invention "
