Definitions

  • the invention relates to a horizontal belt store, in particular for sheet metal belts, comprising a sling carriage that can be moved on a frame at a variable distance from a stationary belt deflection roller, with at least one deflection roller for a variable-length band storage loop and several support carriages with support rollers between the belt deflection roller and loop carriage, and an endlessly around deflection rollers guided, connected to the sling car, flexible drive element which cooperates with a drive wheel of each support car and from which the drive of each support car relative to the path of the sling car is derived.
  • strip stores are required in order to be able to operate rolling stands in rolling mills continuously, even if strip material from individual coils, which must be connected to one another before being introduced into the rolling stand, is to be fed endlessly to the rolling mill or rolling stand and rolled by the latter.
  • a strip storage device for example in the form of a loop storage device or loop forming device, must be provided which has a capacity is designed in such a way that the strip can also be fed continuously to the roll stand or rolling mill when the individual bundles have to be prepared or welded to one another.
  • Horizontal belt stores are generally characterized in that they have a loop carriage which is movable against the tensile force of the belt with restoring force and in between a plurality of support carriages with support rollers which are also movably mounted.
  • the restoring force is generated via ropes by a winch driven by a constant drive.
  • EP-0 110 864 B1 discloses a horizontal belt store which likewise has a movable loop carriage to which individual support carriages are coupled with the aid of flexible tension members which can be pulled out against the restoring force.
  • These tension members should be elastically stretchable at least in some areas and, for example, be designed as rubber ropes or the like and be looped around deflection rollers. This training is intended to provide a smooth drive for the support car from the loop car while maintaining a uniform distance between the individual support cars ensure from each other.
  • the disadvantage here is that the flexible or elastic rubber ropes age relatively quickly and become brittle and can therefore wear out or tear quickly in an uncontrolled manner, in particular when exposed to radiant heat. Rubber ropes can also be easily damaged in the rough rolling mill environment, so that there is a risk of the rubber ropes tearing quickly or breaking.
  • EP 0 388 708 B1 shows a horizontal belt store with a movable loop carriage, to which individual support carriages are coupled by means of a rope, a cam drum and a torque motor. The respective distance between the support carriages is generated via each of the cam drums, with an even torque of the motor keeping the cable connections under tension.
  • a disadvantage of this tape storage device similar to the aforementioned DE-OS 1 953 169, is that a separate torque motor is arranged for each support carriage and the current feed must also be provided via a conductor line or a cable garland. The aforementioned disadvantages still apply to this.
  • a horizontal strip storage for sheet metal strips with a movable and preferably with a constant drive torque in the sense of a loop enlargement driven loop car and several support cars is known, which are movable along guide rails.
  • each support carriage is provided with a slip clutch that acts in both directions and is designed with a lever linkage. Disadvantages here are the required kinematic effort and the need for frequent maintenance as a result of the susceptibility to faults, which, however, cannot guarantee a really smooth operation.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a horizontal tape storage, avoiding the disadvantages and difficulties discussed above, in which the connections between the support carriage and the sling carriage are designed for trouble-free and preferably maintenance-free operation in a simple manner and make it possible that when the sling carriage is moved in the sense of a sling change, the distances between the support carriages can be varied without interruption and remain constant with one another, so that conditions for optimal guidance of the belt on the support rollers of the support carriages are given.
  • the lower drive element replaces the motor-driven cable winches on the support car, which are often used in the prior art, to great advantage, and automatically ensures the formation of uniform distances when retracting and extending the sling car or storage loops.
  • the gear ratios of the individual support carriages are chosen so that the respective distance between the loop carriage and the stationary belt deflection pulley is always divided into equal distances.
  • the flexible drive elements are a V-belt, a toothed chain, a roller chain, a link chain or a timing belt.
  • the drive elements toothed belts and the drive wheels interacting with them are designed as toothed pinions. In this way, a safe, low-noise and slip-free operation of the tape storage is achieved.
  • the advantages of the tape storage device according to the invention are furthermore to be seen in the fact that both during filling and when emptying the storage device, the sheet metal strip is carried by the support rollers of the support carriages at equal intervals, that no impact load is transmitted to the support carriages when the loop carriage is moved, and that a simple, inexpensive and reliable system is formed by using the toothed belt and the gear.
  • the horizontal strip store for sheet metal strips (1) shown in FIG. 1 comprises a loop carriage (11) which can be moved on a frame (2) at a variable distance relative to a fixed strip deflection roller (10) with the deflection rollers (12 - 14) for at least one variable-length supply loop ( 3) or double loop (40, Fig. 3) of the belt (1), and support rollers (15 - 18, Fig. 4, Fig. 5) for the belt (1) having support carriage (19) and an endlessly around deflection rollers (4 , 5) guided flexible drive element (6) which is connected to the sling carriage (11) and which cooperates with a drive wheel (20) of each support carriage (19) and from which the drive of each support carriage (19) is derived.
  • Each support carriage (19) has at least two or more support rollers (15-18), for example also four, six or ten.
  • the incoming band (1) is introduced into the horizontal band store via a deflection roller (26).
  • the sling wagon (11) is held with a winch (30) over ropes (32) and associated deflection rollers against the pulling force of the loop (3) or the double loop (40, Fig. 3) in the illustrated extended position with restoring force.
  • the rope (33) is guided at the end of the frame (2) opposite the loop carriage (11) via a deflection roller (31) and has the task of moving the loop carriage (11) back to the shortest position in the unloaded state.
  • the flexible drive element (6) is firmly anchored to the loop carriage (11) on the loop carriage (11).
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 A summary of FIGS. 1 and 2 shows that the drive element (6) on each support carriage (19) is wrapped around a drive wheel (20) arranged thereon, deflection rollers (23, 24) for a sufficiently large wrap angle of approximately 120 ° worry.
  • Fig. 2 it is shown in detail that the support carriage (19) on rails (29) laid in the frame (2) can be moved by means of wheels (34) and safely guided by lateral guide wheels (35).
  • a second flexible drive element (7) is clamped along the frame (2) in the region of the process path of the support carriage (19) and via a lower drive wheel (21) of each support carriage (19) interacting with the drive element (7) ) guided.
  • the drive element (7) is fixed to the frame (2) on one fastening element (36, 37).
  • the first drive wheel (20) kinematically connected to the second drive wheel (21) by a gear (22, FIG. 5).
  • the flexible drive elements (6, 7) can be a V-belt, a toothed chain, a roller chain, a link chain or a toothed belt.
  • the invention preferably provides that the flexible drive elements (6, 7) toothed belts and the drive wheels (20, 21) interacting with them are designed as toothed pinions. With the respective wrapping around the drive wheels (20, 21), the deflection rollers (23, 24) ensure a sufficiently large wrap angle of the drive elements (6, 7) around the drive wheels (20, 21).
  • An essential feature of the invention is that the individual gear ratios between the drive wheels (20, 21) of each support carriage (19) are designed so that the distance between the loop carriage (11) and the stationary belt deflection roller (10) is always the same, from the spacing formed by the support carriage (19) is divided, as can be seen in the expanded state of the tape store from FIG. 1. This ensures optimal guidance of the different belt runs (1a to 1d, Fig. 3 and 4) and at the same time ensures a smooth movement of the support carriage (19).
  • Figure 3 shows a side view of a sling carriage (11) with the belt deflection rollers (12-14).
  • the loop carriage (11) is shown in Fig. 2 u. 3 can also be moved on the rails (29) of the frame (2) and in the manner already described by constant tensile force of the winch (30, Fig. 1) with the ropes (32) by applying a constant restoring force against the pull of the rope runs (1a - 1d) according to the length of the double loop (40) in the area of the travel path on the frame (2).
  • guide wheels (35) can be designed such that they sometimes engage behind the rail heads. Stops (27) are provided on both sides of the drive element (6), which moves with the loop carriage (11), so that it can be attached and braced.
  • Figure 4 shows a support carriage (19) with the support rollers (15-18) for the belt runs (1a-1d). These are arranged at a distance from one another in a support frame (25).
  • the support carriage (19) runs on the wheels (34) and is guided by guide wheels (35) on these without jamming and safely.
  • the drive elements (6, 7) are held in continuous slip-free engagement by means of deflection rollers (23, 24) around the drive wheels (20, 21) with a wrap angle of approximately 120 °.
  • Figure 5 shows a guide carriage (19) in front view and shows the arrangement of the guide rollers (15-18) with their bearings in the frame (25). 5 shows the arrangement of the rails (29) on the frame (2).
  • the support carriage (19) moves on this with the wheels (34) under safe guidance by the guide wheels (35).
  • the arrangement of the drive wheels (20, 21) can be seen laterally next to the frame (25), as well as reduction gears of the transmission (22) in section.
