Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for reducing the outer diameter and the wall thickness by rolling a cylindrical hollow block which is inserted with its front part into an Assel rolling mill, wherein a device for reducing the diameter and / or the wall thickness of the rear end part of the is provided on a mandrel bar threaded hollow block, the pre-reduction rollers reducing the end of the hollow block can be set against the hollow block and can be guided away therefrom.
- the reason for the triangulation lies in the tendency to widen in the rolling mill and is process-related. If the longitudinal tensile stress in the billet drops towards the end of the rolled stock because there is no longer enough material to be formed in the inlet cone of the Assel mill, the tendency to increase the proportion of tangential forming increases. This means that the radial deformation causes more tangential and less longitudinal deformation. This in turn causes an increase in diameter. If the tangential exit speed between the rollers and the mandrel becomes greater than the pull-in speed of the following roller, there is a material jam in the free spaces between the three rollers, which can block the longitudinal feed movement. A method of the type mentioned at the outset is known from WO 90/00449.
- a pre-reduction device on the inlet side of the Assel mill, which consists of three or four adjustable pre-reduction rollers, the axes of which have a slight inclination to the rolling stock axis or stand axis of the Assel mill.
- This angle of inclination can be adjustable or fixed and is based on the average feed angle of the wood mill.
- the object of the invention is to optimize the speed and forming conditions and thus the effect of the pre-reduction in a method of the type mentioned at the outset. This object is achieved by the characterizing features in claim 1.
- the present invention has recognized that it is not sufficient to simply reduce the ends of the hollow blocks arbitrarily before entering the wood mill, rather certain speed and forming conditions must be observed if the pre-reduction does not lead to a deterioration of the hollow block ends or the intended effect should even be abolished. It was also found that the conditions depend on which pipe diameter and wall thickness are rolled in the Assel mill.
- the rear end of the hollow block should be as perpendicular as possible to the longitudinal axis, it is best to use sawn blocks. Oblique hollow block ends and large ones Differences in wall thickness at the end also lead to partial (one-sided) triangulation.
- Advantageous refinements of the invention result from the subclaims.
- the diameter of the tangential circle between the rollers of the pre-reduction device is of particular importance in the employed state.
- Favorable results can be expected if the guide values specified in claim 2 are observed.
- a hollow block end is created if the specified criteria are met, which ends after a conical transition with a cylindrical reduced hollow trestle wall. In the extreme case, the length of the cylindrical part of the reduced hollow block end can be zero.
- feed angles are specified for the rolls of the wood mill, which likewise reduce the widening in conjunction with the features of the invention explained above. It was recognized that in addition to the reduction in wall thickness, the feed angle also influences the widening, this angle must be at least sufficiently small, at least for the rolling out of the rear hollow block end, so that not too much material enters the roll gap per revolution. Claim 3 indicates a preferred feed angle ⁇ between 3.5 and 6 degrees, in which the invention can be carried out particularly cheaply. If, however, the feed angle is too small, the axial exit speed is low, and on the other hand the widening that occurs as a result makes it more difficult to detach the cap from the mandrel bar.
- the circumferential roller speed is between 1.5 and 6 m / s, preferably between 4.0 and 4.5 m / s. adjust.
- Claim 5 specifies dimensional ranges for the length of the smoothing parts based on different hollow block diameters.
- the run-out angle related to the smoothing part of the woodlice should be 4 to 6 degrees. It is advantageous if the transition between the smoothing part and the outlet part is rounded off by a radius, that is to say a sharp edge is avoided. It is also possible to make the entire outlet part curved, ie to completely replace the conical or linear part by a rounded part.
- the spreading angle ⁇ which for example is 3 degrees in conventional divergent wood mills, is slightly opened, i. H. is increased by 0.3 to 0.7 degrees to then 3.3 to 3.7 degrees.
- rollers are moved into a position near the surface of the hollow block before the rollers of the pre-reduction device are closed.
- Corresponding information is given in claim 7.
- Advancing the rollers of the pre-reduction device has the advantage that the rollers represent an additional guide for the hollow block during rolling in the wood mill and greater security is achieved in order to achieve the necessary reduced length.
- the schematic illustration shows two of three woodlice rolls of a woodlice mill, designated 1, which process the hollow block 2 to reduce the diameter and wall thickness.
- the pre-reduction device the three rollers of which are denoted by 3, is connected upstream of the wood rollers 1.
- the dome 4 can be seen in the interior of the hollow block 2.
- the roller of the woodlouse mill consists of the inlet part 5, the working part (shoulder) 6, the smoothing part 7 and the outlet or rounding part 13.
- the spreading angle of the rollers 1 is denoted by ⁇ .
- the surfaces of the three rollers 3 of the pre-reduction device facing the roller axis are touched in their illustrated working position by a tangential circle which has the diameter D NEL .
- the hollow block 2 is reduced to an outer diameter, which is indicated by dashed lines at 8.
- a conical transition area arises from the outer diameter of the hollow block D H to the diameter D NEL corresponding to the tangential circle , such as shown in sections below the rollers 3.
- the conical transition area is designated 11 there.
- the total length between the start of the conical region 11 following the hollow block diameter D H to the end of the hollow block 12 is L NEL .
- the basic thickness shows the wall thickness S H and the tangential circle in the "high point" of the woodlice and is denoted by D HP .
- the outside diameter of the billet leaving the Assel mill is designated D L
- the wall thickness of the billet is designated S L
- the diameter of the dome bar is shown at D M.
- a pre-reduction device for performing the method according to the invention works hydraulically.
- the maximum pressure force of the rollers of the pre-reduction device is predetermined for a given hydraulic cylinder and choice of pressure, the hydraulic pressure is generally constant.
- the closing speed can be set by means of a valve via the flow rate per unit of time, working at low speeds.
- the start of the closing process of the rollers of the pre-reduction device can be triggered by photocells, the closing time must be chosen depending on the hollow block diameter. It is also conceivable to determine the axial speed in the inlet with two sensors and a microprocessor using a time measurement for a defined measuring section. The start of the closing process can thus be adapted to the speed.
- the opening of the rollers of the pre-reduction device can also be triggered by a photo cell.
