Definitions
- Two-roll cross roll mill for punching and stretching solid
- the invention relates to a two-roll cross-rolling mill for punching solid and hollow blocks, in which the rolls are adjustably arranged in the roll stand.
- Cross roll mills have been used for many years, particularly in the manufacture of steel tubes. They have been continuously improved and developed.
- the current state of the art is represented by the German patent 21 56 589.
- the rolling stand of this plant is equipped with rollers lying one above the other and with laterally arranged pivoting and adjustable guide disks.
- the rollers themselves are mounted in roller mills, which are held in a vertically adjustable manner by a roller stand.
- the roller mills are adjusted by two motor-driven threaded spindles, which are kept free of play by a hydraulic retention cylinder.
- the so-called feed angle of the rolls which causes the helical movement of the rolling stock, can be changed.
- the roller mills are designed as drums that can rotate in the stand.
- the feed angle is infinitely adjustable, unless the roller mills are adjusted in a simplified embodiment by means of supplements.
- the setting of the feed angle is not infinitely variable; in addition, the retrofitting of the roll stand is time-consuming.
- This design of known two-roll cross-rolling mills is disadvantageous because the size of the roll mills requires a roll stand of considerable height, which, measured over everything, can be 8 to 10 meters under certain circumstances. Due to the given center of the roller above the hut floor, the stand stands in a deep foundation pit. As a result, the channels for the drainage of the cooling water must also be laid deep below the hut floor.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a two-roll cross-rolling mill that does not have the disadvantages described and with a low overall height in a low-profile design with little mechanical effort and a simple and short roll change or changing scaffolding.
- the roll stand be divided into two stand halves, each of which receives a roll and, if necessary, its chock, and the stand halves for adjusting the feed angle of the rolls against each other about a common axis of the rolling stock Axis intersecting at right angles can be pivoted.
- a stationary central frame connected to the base is preferably provided between the stand halves which can be pivoted relative to one another.
- the overall height can be made significantly lower because the large-dimensioned roller mills are eliminated.
- the feed angle can be adjusted continuously by pivoting the stator halves against one another and with them the rollers displaced in the chocks of the stator halves. In this way, the total height of the roll stand can be reduced by approximately 50% with the same roll diameter. This is accompanied by a weight reduction of at least approx. 50%.
- connection of the stand halves takes place by means of prestressed tie rods penetrating the stand halves on both sides of the rolling stock axis, with a twisting of the stand halves being possible between the tie rods and the bores of the stand halves penetrated by you .
- the spring deflection of the stand is minimized in such a way that substantially improved tolerances of the rolling stock can be achieved.
- the tie rods penetrating and connecting the stand halves can be designed as stud bolts which are fastened to the central frame on both sides.
- the prestressing of the stator halves against one another or against the central frame can be applied in a known manner by means of hydraulic clamping nuts; the preload is released before twisting the halves against each other.
- the tie rods penetrating the central frame are rotatably mounted in the latter and are provided at both ends with threads of different pitch direction in the bore through which they penetrate each stand half and are arranged in the stand half adjusting nuts with a corresponding counter thread.
- This proposal enables the roll gap to be set favorably by turning the tie rods, the different threads of which cause the stand halves to move apart or move together. All tie rods designed in this way can be actuated by a common drive.
- the bores of the middle frame in the region of their ends facing the scaffold halves are provided with threads of different pitch direction, in which threaded bushings provided with a corresponding external thread are rotatably and axially adjustable, the Threaded bushings on their inner sides correspond to multi-wedge profiles applied to the lug anchors, and the tie rods for the opposite adjustment of the threaded bushes acting with their end faces on the threaded halves in the sense of a movement towards one another or away from one another are rotatably mounted and at least one swivel of the tie rod is included a piston-cylinder unit interacts, with which the prestressing force of the scaffold can be applied.
- both the position of the frame halves gegenein ⁇ other than the bias voltage across the tie rods can be realized.
- the adjustment mechanism for synchronously rotating the stator halves in opposite directions is based on a further feature of the invention on the foundation of the roll stand and / or on the middle frame.
- the adjustment can be carried out by synchronously operating piston-cylinder units, gears or counter-rotating eccentrics.
- the middle frame accommodate the known guides for the rolling stock, such as insertions and executions, side guides, swivel arms for washer disks or the like. These parts can remain stationary together with the middle frame if the rollers have to be changed.
- the latter takes place according to a favorable feature of the invention after loosening the connection of the stand halves in that at least one of the rollers and their chocks can be removed together with the respective stand half.
- the dismantled stand half can be replaced as quickly as possible with another stand half that has already been prepared, after the second chock with the counter roller has been replaced with another.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a two-roll cross-rolling mill according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the rolling mill according to FIG. 1,
- Fig. 5 shows a stand half with a set of rollers in the dismantled state.
- 1 denotes the central frame connected to the foundation 7, which supports the upper stand half 2 and the lower stand half 3 of the two-roll cross-rolling mill according to the invention.
- the rollers are designated 4 (top roller) and 5 (bottom roller), 6 indicates one of the two guide disks which are mounted on the central frame 1 by means of known swivel arms.
- the rolling axis is indicated at 8 in FIG. 1.
- the upper stand half 2 and the lower stand half 3 are held together with the aid of tie rods 9, four of which are provided on both sides of the rolling stock axis, possibly under tension.
- the holes on one side for the tie rods in the upper half of the stand allow the tie rods to be relaxed and the stand halves turned to 0 degrees advance angle to be removed without dismantling other parts.
- the adjusting gear 16 are provided in the lower half of the stand. Since the rollers 4 and 5 are mounted in chocks 23, 24 of known type in the respective stator halves, the rollers are adjusted by rotating the stator halves.
- a construction as shown in FIG. 3 is provided for adjusting the rollers in the vertical direction.
- the tie rod 9 penetrates the upper and lower stand halves 2 and 3 and the central frame 1.
- nuts 13 which are provided with the same but opposite internal threads.
- threaded bushings 14 move in opposite directions as a result of the different thread pitches when they are turned.
- a drive motor 16 at one end of the tie rod serves to rotate the tie rod; the other tie rod end 17 is designed as an abutment of the tie rod.
- a hydraulic piston 17 is provided for applying prestressing forces, which cooperates with the hydraulic cylinder 18 and, when pressurized with pressure medium, applies a tensile force to the tie rod 9 in order to brace the scaffolding halves 2 and 3 against one another .
- the scaffolding halves 2 and 3 are adjusted against each other as described below:
- the tie rod is relaxed. This can now be rotated via the drive motor 16, the threaded bushes 14 being rotated via the splined shaft profile 15 and being moved in the axial direction.
- the threaded bushes 14 press with their end faces against support rings 19, which in turn press the frame halves 2 and 3 apart.
- the upper end of the tie rod is held by a threaded bushing 20 and corresponding thread, so that the lower stand half 3 does not fall down due to its own weight.
- pressure is again applied to the hydraulic cylinder 18 and the frame is prestressed with the desired prestressing force.
- FIG. 5 shows as an example how the roll removal can be carried out in the new two-roll cross-roll mill.
- the scaffold halves 2 and 3 are expediently set to a feed angle of 0 degrees and the upper scaffold half 2 is attached to a hoist and this together with the upper roller 4 and the lower part attached to it by means of a connecting element 22 roller 5 pulled up out of the lower frame half 3 and the middle frame.
- a correspondingly prepared new set of rollers can be used in the same way, so that the stand change times can be kept extremely short and the effort involved in changing the stand can be kept low.

Abstract
Ce laminoir comporte des cylindres réglables placés sur des supports. Pour obtenir un laminoir perceur à double cylindre de hauteur réduite et d'envergure limitée, qui permette un changement facile et rapide des cylindres ou de la structure, on propose de diviser les supports en deux moitiés (2, 3) séparables l'une de l'autre, chacune d'elles supportant un cylindre (4, 5) et, si nécessaire, ses empoises (23, 24). Pour régler l'angle de progression des cylindres (4, 5) l'un par rapport à l'autre, les moitiés (2, 3) de support peuvent pivoter autour d'un axe commun (A-A) qui coupe à angle droit l'axe (8) du produit laminé.This rolling mill has adjustable cylinders placed on supports. To obtain a double-cylinder drilling machine of reduced height and limited span, which allows an easy and rapid change of the cylinders or of the structure, it is proposed to divide the supports into two halves (2, 3) separable from one the other, each of them supporting a cylinder (4, 5) and, if necessary, its chocks (23, 24). To adjust the angle of progression of the cylinders (4, 5) relative to each other, the support halves (2, 3) can pivot around a common axis (AA) which cuts at right angles l axis (8) of the rolled product.
