Definitions

  • This invention relates according to the precharacterising part of claims 1 and 2 respectively to an apparatus for rolling metal foil, cloth, paper, on the like, for calendering.
  • Numerals 1, 2 and 3 denote rollers
  • numerals 5, 6 and 7 denote guide rollers
  • numeral 4 denotes a workpiece.
  • the workpiece 4 is guided by the guide rollers 5, 6 and 7 and rolled by the rollers 1, 2 and 3 respectively such that the workpiece 4 is flattened or calendered.
  • a hydraulic pump 8 presses a bearing 1a which supports the roller 1 such that the workpiece 4 is pressed between rollers 1 and 2. It is also possible to press upwardly on a bearing 2a which supports the roller 2 such that the workpiece 4 is pressed in between rollers 1 and 2.
  • rollers 1, 2 and 3 are made of metal, they tend to deflect as shown in Fig. 15 because of the pressure applied to the bearings 1a or 21. So, it is impossible to clamp the workpiece between the rollers with a uniform pressure, resulting in poor performance.
  • the pressure exerted by the hydraulic pump 8 against the bearings 1a or 2a cannot always be maintained at a constant value, so the unbalanced pressure causes an unbalanced rolling as shown in Fig. 17.
  • one of the rollers 1, 2 and 3 is of an elastic material, for instance, plastic or the like, its surface is easily scratched resulting in a degraded workpiece.
  • DE-A-3404833 representing the closest prior art discloses rolling apparatus comprising two parallel work rollers, adapted to press a workpiece passing between the two rollers. At least one of the work rollers is movable and means are provided for controllably urging the or each movable roller towards the other to press the workpiece.
  • a rolling apparatus comprising a main roller rotatably supported by a frame and a pressure roller rotatably supported by the frame, the pressure roller being urged towards the main roller under a force, the workpiece being arranged to pass between the pressure and main rollers so as to be pressed, characterised in that the main roller is of non-magnetic material and is hollow, in that a magnet is provided inside the hollow main roller and in that the pressure roller is of magnetic material so that the pressure roller is urged by said magnet towards the main roller to provide said force.
  • a rolling apparatus comprising a frame and two cylindrical main rollers rotatably supported adjacent and parallel to each other by the frame, at least one of said main rollers being mounted so as to be movable towards and away from the other main roller and being urged towards the other main roller under a force, the workpiece being arranged to pass between the main rollers so as to be pressed, characterised in that the main rollers are of magnetic material, in that the frame has two yokes, each main roller being disposed adjacent to a respective yoke, each yoke having a solenoid wound thereon for magnetising the respective yoke by generating magnetic flux perpendicular to the direction of motion of the workpiece and along a line through the centres of the two main rollers, one of the yokes being magnetised as a north and the other as a south pole, the main rollers being magnetised by the magnetic flux generated by the solenoids so as to be attracted to each other by said force.
  • Numeral 11 denotes a main roller which is tubularly shaped and is placed in opposition relation with other pressure rollers and made of non-magnetic materials.
  • the roller rim is preferably thin so that a sufficient magnetic attractive force may be established between the main roller 11 and a pressure roller 13. Although a thin roller rim is preferable, it should be mechanically strong enough to undergo the rolling pressure without excessive deterioration.
  • the main roller 11 is rotatably supported by a frame 12.
  • a suitable number of the pressure rollers 13 which are made of magnetic material are provided around the circumference of the main roller 11.
  • the pressure rollers 13 are rotatably supported by the frame and in pressing relation against the main roller 11.

Referring to Fig. 1, a workpiece 17 is inserted and passed between the main roller 11 and the pressure roller 13 being guided by the respective guide roller 16. Repeating several equivalent path ways, the workpiece 17 is finally drawn out.
  • the yoke 14 is provided with salient poles 21a which establish a magnetic pole and also with grooves 21b which accommodate the solenoids 22 shaped annularly with the winding coil accommodated therein.
  • the magnetic flux in the yoke, established by the solenoids 22, is shown in Fig. 5.
  • N-pole and S-pole are alternately established, and around the circumference of the yoke 14, N-pole or S-pole is established. In this drawing, N-pole is shown. It is also possible to eliminate the guide rollers so that the workpiece 17 is advanced along the circumference of the main roller 11 being inserted and pressed between the main roller 11 and the presser roller 13.
  • each pressure roller 13 is attracted to the main roller 11 because of a magnetic force established by the solenoids 22.
  • the pressure roller 13 is rotated by the fractional force between the pressure roller 13 and the workpiece 17.
  • the pressing of workpiece between the pressure rollers 13 and the main roller 11 is conducted by the magnetic force established by the solenoids 22, and the magnetic force is controlled by regulating the electric direct current to the solenoids.

  • N-pole is shown.
  • N-pole or S-pole is established.
  • the yokes 14, 26 and 31 establish a uniform magnetic attractive force in a direction perpendicular to the axis of a yoke such that the presser roller is attracted to the main roller with a uniform attractive force established along its axial line throughout.
  • the uniform magnetic attractive force can be easily controlled by regulating the electric current to the solenoids. In this manner the pressing due to the pressure roller 12 can be adjusted. It is also possible to use a permanent magnet in lieu of solenoids 22, 25 and 32.
