Definitions

  • the invention relates to an upsetting press for the reduction of rolling stock, in particular the slab width in hot wide strip roughing mills with pressing tools accommodating pressing tools arranged on both sides to the slab edge, which can be moved in the direction of the slab reduction by a crank mechanism arranged in a crankcase, and with two lower longitudinal stanchions and two upper longitudinal stiles , wherein each lower column longitudinal spar of the upsetting press facing the press foundation has a fixed foundation bearing approximately in the center and at least two floating bearings on the longitudinal side.
  • each pressing tool with the associated tool carrier is moved with the aid of a steering system actuated by a crank mechanism in the direction of reducing the width of the slab, the crank mechanism being arranged in a crankcase.
  • the crank mechanism consists of two driven eccentric shafts; A connecting rod is mounted on each eccentric shaft; the connecting rod head is connected to the tool carrier for transmitting the compression forces.
  • a feed drive acting essentially in the direction of the slab feed acts on the tool carrier.
  • This upsetting press enables the width of the slab to be continuously reduced to values specified by rolling technology. Upsetting presses of this size can reduce a slab with a width of approx. 2100 mm and a thickness of approx. 265 mm by up to 300 mm in just one pass. As a result of the large compression forces of up to 30 MN and under the influence of heat, the horizontal compression structure must be able to stretch without exerting forces on the foundation. Furthermore, the crankcase, from which the pressing forces are introduced into the slab, must not move in its guide play during the pressing process, so that a desired width tolerance of the reduced slab with high edge quality can also be guaranteed in continuous operation.
  • the upsetting press has two horizontal press stands with upper and lower longitudinal columns, the lower of which face the press foundation.
  • the upsetting press has two horizontal press stands with upper and lower longitudinal columns, the lower of which face the press foundation.
  • They For the purpose of free expansion of the lower uprights, they have a fixed foundation approximately in the middle and two floating bearings with sliding plates are arranged in the area of the uprights on both sides of the uprights. Further details about the detailed design of fixed or floating bearings are missing. There is also no information about locking a crankcase with the press stand.
  • the object of the invention is to construct the compression press according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that the action of the pressing forces, in particular also the mass forces, and the action of heat on the compression frame and on the crankcase do not damage the press or cause any damage Reduction of the quality of the compressed slab or the edge quality leads and that a predetermined width tolerance of the compressed slab can be guaranteed.
  • This object is achieved in the compression press mentioned at the outset with the features of claim 1.
  • the features of the following claims 2 to 10 serve the further configuration of the upsetting press.
  • the above-mentioned compression press is characterized in that the crankcase can be locked between the upper and lower longitudinal stanchions by means of releasable clamping devices.
  • the pressing forces generated during the pressing process and the mass forces resulting from the moving masses are initially absorbed by the crankcase, which is firmly clamped in the scaffold stand, passed into the longitudinal struts and absorbed by them.
  • possible longitudinal strains of the uprights caused by the pressing forces can be intercepted by several floating bearings. In this way, thermal expansions during hot operation of the upsetting press can be absorbed in such a way that the lateral upsetting of the slabs leads to consistently good upsetting results.
  • each lower upright longitudinal spar has lateral claws approximately in the middle of the spar and is supported on a fitting plate in a bearing plate connected to the foundation with the spar leading side plates, that the lateral claws engage in the side plates and that the claws can be clamped to the bearing plate by means of connecting elements - preferably with screw connections.
  • the side of the lower upright longitudinal strut facing the foundation in this area has a metal pressure plate, that in this area an opposite side with the foundation connected bearing plate has a metal pressure plate, and that between the metal pressure plates, a rustproof, polished metal plate and a slide plate made of plastic with cavities arranged on the sliding surface with lubricant-fillable cavities - preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) - are arranged, each in one of the metal pressure plates are inserted.
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the cavities arranged on the upper sliding surface of the PTFE sliding plate with a lubricant are particularly advantageous.
  • the effect of the so-called micro friction between the sliding surfaces of such a support can be significantly reduced.
  • the metal pressure plates are made of stainless steel, which are glued and screwed to the spar or to the bearing plate.
  • the measures of the stand of the upsetting press are largely protected against corrosion by these measures. It is also advantageous if the screw heads embedded in the pressure plates are chambered with a sealing filling compound before the polished metal plate or the PTFE sliding plate are inserted into the pressure plates.
  • the floating bearing connected to the bearing plate, the side member leading side pillars, that standing bores are arranged in bores of lateral claws of the pillar longitudinal members, which stand on the bearing plate and the other end of which is a short distance above the claw has a counter plate that on the counter plate a screw connection reaching into the bearing plate or into the foundation is supported and that between the claws and the side plates sliding fitting plates are arranged against each other.
  • the clamping devices for the crankcase are hydraulic clamping cylinders, which can be adjusted depending on the pressing forces so that the crankcase does not move back and forth in the guiding play during the pressing process. It is expedient here if the hydraulic clamping cylinders are located on each upper longitudinal side of the crankcase, opposite the underside of the upper stator longitudinal bar and are arranged between a guide rail fastened to the crankcase, spanning the lower stator longitudinal bar at a distance, and the outside of each lower stator longitudinal bar. The crankcase is laterally clamped by the two hydraulic clamping cylinders and pressed by the four hydraulic clamping cylinders on the two lower longitudinal pillars.
  • a sliding plate is advantageously arranged between the clamping cylinder and the respective clamping surface and it is further provided that the crankcase is on the the lower upright longitudinal spars by means of sliding plates so that the consequences of wear from the constant micro friction between the clamping cylinder and the clamping surface remain as small as possible.
  • the side view of the upsetting press 1, partially shown in section in FIG. 1, shows a horizontal scaffold stand 2 with two lower uprights 3 and two upper uprights 4 and cross members 5 which connect the uprights to one another.
  • a crankcase 7 is arranged on both sides of a longitudinal slab 3, 4 on both sides of a slab 6 to be reduced in width, which has a mechanical adjustment (not shown) and a Balancing device 8 is supported on the crossbar 5 of the scaffold stand.
  • Two eccentric shafts 9 with pressure connecting rods 10 are mounted in the crankcase 7.
  • the connecting rod heads 11 are connected to a tool carrier 12 for the pressing tools 13. With the help of the pressing tools 13 and with the help of the pressing forces emanating from the crank drive, the slab 6, which is transported by driving rollers 14 through the upsetting press, is reduced in width.
  • the pressing forces are transmitted to the eccentric shafts by a motor and transmission arrangement 15 with the aid of cardan shafts 16.
  • the lower uprights 3 are supported on the foundation 17 several times.
  • support is provided with the aid of a fixed bearing 18, followed on both sides of the stand by a floating bearing 19 with lateral guidance, a floating bearing 20 without lateral guidance and a floating bearing 19 with lateral guidance.
  • releasable clamping devices 21 are arranged between the lower upright longitudinal members 3 and the upper upright longitudinal members 4.
  • Fig. 2 shows a bearing plate 22 connected to the foundation 17 for the central fixed bearing 18 and two adjacent floating bearings 19 with side guides for the two lower longitudinal pillars 3.
  • the longitudinal section along the line III-III in Fig. 2 shows in Fig. 3 that for the purpose of forming the fixed bearing 18, each lower upright longitudinal bar has lateral claws 23 approximately in the middle of the bar, and that it is supported on a fitting plate 24 on the bearing plate 22 connected to the foundation 17 with two lateral side plates 25 leading the spar.
  • the lateral claws 23 of the longitudinal longitudinal spar engage in the side plates 25 and the claws 23 are firmly clamped to the bearing plate 22 by means of the screw connections 26.
  • the longitudinal section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 2 shows in Fig.
  • the polished metal plate and the PTFE sliding plate are each inserted in one of the metal pressure plates 27, 28.
  • the metal pressure plates 27, 28 are made of stainless steel and are glued to the lower longitudinal stile 3 or to the bearing plate 22 and, as shown in FIG. 5, screwed to the stile or to the bearing plate with screws 32.
  • the screw head countersunk in the pressure plates 27, 28 is additionally chambered with a filling compound, so that possible corrosion at the connection points of the bearing elements is excluded as far as possible. It can be seen that Fig. 5 shows the bearing elements of a non-locating bearing without side guide for the longitudinal pillar.
  • the floating bearing shown there with a side guide has two side plates 33 connected to the bearing plate 22, which guide the longitudinal stile 3, and also lateral claws of the longitudinal stile, in which holes 35 for so-called standing bushes 36 are arranged.
  • These standing bushes stand on the bearing plate 22 and have a counter plate 37 at their other end at a short distance above the lateral claws 34.
  • a screw connection 38 reaching into the bearing plate 22 or into the foundation 17 is supported on the counter plate 37.
  • crankcase 7 shows, based on a partial section, the crankcase 7 as well as the lower longitudinal stile 3 and the upper longitudinal stile 4.
  • the crankcase is locked by means of releasable clamping devices 21 between the upper and the lower longitudinal stile.
  • These clamping devices are hydraulic clamping cylinders 41. These are located on each upper longitudinal side 42 of the crankcase 7, opposite the underside of the upper longitudinal column 4.
  • a guide rail 43 which extends across the lower stator longitudinal beam 3 is arranged laterally on the outside 49.
  • the hydraulic clamping cylinder 41 is arranged between this guide rail and the outer side 44 of the lower longitudinal column.
  • a sliding plate 45 is arranged between the respective clamping cylinder 41 and the clamping surface interacting therewith.
  • the crankcase 7 lies on the lower longitudinal stile 3 by means of a pair of sliding plates 46, 47 on. With the help of the sliding plates 45, 46, 47, possible wear, which can be attributed to constant micro-friction, is largely avoided.
