Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Reinigen von Walzen und/oder Rollen in Bandgießanlagen, Walzwerken und/oder Bandprozesslinien, insbesondere Dressierwalzen oder dergleichen Nachwalzwerken, zur Erzeugung und/oder Behandlung von Metallbändern, wonach die Walzen und/oder Rollen jeweils mittels zumindest einer Reinigungsdüse mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit beaufschlagt werden und die Reinigungsdüse entlang der betreffenden Walze oder Rolle hin- und herverfahren wird. - Im Rahmen der Erfindung umfasst "Metallbänder" auch Stahlbänder.The invention relates to a method for cleaning rollers and / or rolls in strip casting plants, rolling mills and / or Belt process lines, especially skin pass rolls or similar rolling mills, for production and / or Treatment of metal strips, after which the rollers and / or Roll each with at least one cleaning nozzle Cleaning liquid and the Cleaning nozzle along the roller or roller in question going back and forth. - Within the scope of the invention "metal straps" also includes steel straps.

Durch die US 5 460 023 ist ein derartiges Verfahren vorbeschrieben. Daneben wird die Möglichkeit angesprochen, eine Vielzahl von Reinigungsdüsen mit Hilfe einer Kolben/Zylinderanordnung periodisch in Axialrichtung einer zugehörigen Walze hin- und herzuverfahren. Die bekannte Vorgehensweise kann nicht in allen Punkten überzeugen. So besteht bei besonders schnell durchlaufenden Metallbändern die Gefahr, einzelne Bereiche nur unzureichend zu erfassen. Auch ist die Reinigungswirkung begrenzt, wenn besonders raue Bandoberflächen zu behandeln sind.Such a method is known from US Pat. No. 5,460,023 described above. In addition, the possibility of a variety of cleaning nozzles using a piston / cylinder arrangement periodically in the axial direction associated roller back and forth. The well-known Approach cannot convince in all points. So exists with particularly fast moving metal strips the risk of insufficient coverage of individual areas. The cleaning effect is also limited, if special rough belt surfaces are to be treated.

Durch die JP 05 042309 A gehört es zum vorbekannten Stand der Technik, eine Reinigungsdüse mit einstellbarem Abstand gegenüber einer Walze zu positionieren. Diese Maßnahme mag für sich genommen eine gewisse Verbesserung der Reinigungswirkung ermöglichen, weil hierdurch unterschiedlichen Durchmessern der betreffenden Walze oder Rolle Rechnung getragen wird.JP 05 042309 A makes it part of the prior art the technology, a cleaning nozzle with adjustable distance to position against a roller. This measure may in itself a certain improvement in the cleaning effect enable because of this different Diameters of the roll or roll concerned will be carried.

Daneben ist es aus der Praxis bekannt, in beispielsweise Verzinkungslinien Dressierwalzen zu integrieren, durch welche dem verzinktem Metallband bestimmte Oberflächencharakteristiken aufgeprägt und die Materialeigenschaften gezielt verändert werden. Dabei besteht die Gefahr, dass auf der Bandoberfläche nur teilweise anhaftende Zinkpartikel beim Walzen auf die Arbeits- und Stützwalzen übertragen werden. Die Zinkpartikel bleiben an dem Walzenmantel haften und erzeugen mit jeder Umdrehung einen Eindruck in die Bandoberfläche. Eindrücke auf dem Metallband gelten als Defekte und können das betreffende Metallband - in Abhängigkeit von seinem jeweiligen Verwendungszweck - unbrauchbar machen. Es wird zu einem unverkäuflichen Produktionsausschuss. - Um das Risiko des Anhaftens von Partikeln auf den Walzen von Dressierwalzwerken zu verringern, ist es bekannt, solche Dressierwalzwerke nass zu fahren. Es sind Putzvorrichtungen in Form von Bürsten, Vliesrollen und Vlieskissen bekannt, welche entweder so breit wie das breiteste Metallband sind oder über die Ballenlänge der betreffenden Walzen traversieren. Die Reinigungswirkung von Bürsten, Vliesrollen, Vlieskissen oder dergleichen ist begrenzt und häufig unzureichend. - Ferner kennt man eine Hochdruckflüssigkeitsreinigung, bei welcher jeweils eine Breitflachdüse pro Walze die betreffende Walze mit Wasser besprüht. Bei dieser bekannten Ausführungsform ist die Position der Reinigungsdüse gegenüber dem Walzenmantel nicht variabel. Darüber hinaus wird mit einer undefinierten Traversiergeschwindigkeit gearbeitet. In addition, it is known from practice, for example To integrate galvanizing lines through skin pass rollers which gives the galvanized metal strip certain surface characteristics imprinted and the material properties be changed in a targeted manner. There is a risk that Zinc particles only partially adhering to the belt surface transferred to the work and backup rolls during rolling become. The zinc particles remain on the roll shell stick and create an impression with every turn the belt surface. Impressions on the metal band are considered Defects and the metal strip in question - in Depending on its intended use - to make something useless. It becomes unsaleable Production Committee. - To reduce the risk of sticking Particles on the rollers of skin pass mills reduce, it is known to wet such skin pass rolling mills to drive. There are cleaning devices in the form of brushes, Fleece rolls and fleece pillows known, which either are as wide as the widest metal band or over that Traverse the bale length of the rollers concerned. The Cleaning effect of brushes, fleece rolls, fleece pillows or the like is limited and often insufficient. - Furthermore, one knows a high pressure liquid cleaning, at which each have a wide flat nozzle per roller Sprayed roller with water. In this known embodiment is the position of the cleaning nozzle the roll shell is not variable. In addition, with worked at an undefined traversing speed.

Schon aus diesem Grunde funktioniert diese bekannte Hochdruckwasserreinigung nur bei konstanten Walzendurchmessern und relativ konstanten Bandgeschwindigkeiten hinreichend zufriedenstellend. Allerdings ist die Wirksamkeit durch den Einsatz von Breitflachdüsen begrenzt. - In beispielsweise Dressierwalzwerken werden häufig Walzen mit unterschiedlichen Walzendurchmessern eingesetzt, um den Anforderungen verschiedener Stahllegierungen und Produktanwendungen gerecht zu werden: Zum Beispiel eine Arbeitswalze 450 mm Durchmesser neu / 400 mm Durchmesser abgeschliffen für harte Materialien und 650 mm Durchmesser neu / 600 mm Durchmesser abgeschliffen für weiche Materialien. Die zugehörigen Stützwalzen weisen beispielsweise einen Durchmesser von 900 mm neu / 820 mm abgeschliffen auf. Mit den bekannten Maßnahmen lässt sich die Reinigungswirkung nur für bestimmte Walzendurchmesser einmal richtig einstellen. Werden abgeschliffene Walzen eingesetzt, geht die Reinigungswirkung weitgehend verloren.For this reason alone, this well-known high pressure water purification works only with constant roller diameters and relatively constant belt speeds are sufficient satisfactory. However, the effectiveness of the Limited use of wide flat nozzles. - In for example Skin pass rolling mills are often rolls with different Roll diameters used to meet the requirements various steel alloys and product applications to become: For example, a work roll 450 mm New diameter / 400 mm diameter ground for hard materials and 650 mm diameter new / 600 mm Sanded diameter for soft materials. The associated Back-up rolls have a diameter, for example from 900 mm new / 820 mm ground down. With the well-known The cleaning effect can only be implemented for certain measures Set the roller diameter correctly once. Become used ground rollers, the cleaning effect largely lost.

Ähnliche Probleme gibt es auch bei Rollen und Walzen in Stranggieß- und Bandgießanlagen sowie für Rollen in Walzwerken und Bandprozesslinien. Außerdem stellt sich z. B. in Aluminiumprozesslinien das Problem des mehr oder weniger fest anhaftenden Aluminiumoxids auf der Bandoberfläche. Auch das kann auf Rollen oder auch Walzen, nämlich Streckwalzen anhaften und zu Aufwachsungen und Bandoberflächendefekten führen. - Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen.There are similar problems with rolls and rollers in Continuous casting and strip caster as well as for rolls in rolling mills and belt process lines. In addition, z. B. in Aluminum process lines the problem of more or less firmly adhering aluminum oxide on the belt surface. This can also be done on rolls or rolls, namely stretching rolls cling and to growths and band surface defects to lead. - The invention seeks to remedy this.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Reinigen von Walzen und/oder Rollen in Bandgießanlagen, Walzwerken und/oder Bandprozesslinien, insbesondere Dressierwalzen oder dergleichen Nachwalzwerken, anzugeben, welches sich durch eine besonders effiziente Reinigungswirkung auszeichnet und eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Walzen- bzw. Rollendurchmesser ebenso wie an unterschiedliche Bandmaterialien und Bandgeschwindigkeiten ermöglicht. Außerdem soll eine Vorrichtung geschaffen werden, die zur Durchführung dieses Reinigungsverfahrens besonders geeignet ist und sich durch einfache und funktionsgerechte Bauweise auszeichnet.The invention has for its object a method for Cleaning of rolls and / or rolls in belt casting machines, Rolling mills and / or belt process lines, especially skin pass rolls or the like rolling mills to indicate which through a particularly efficient cleaning effect distinguished and an adaptation to different roller or roll diameter as well as on different strip materials and belt speeds. Moreover a device is to be created to carry out this cleaning method is particularly suitable and is characterized by simple and functional design.

Diese Maßnahmen der Erfindung haben zur Folge, dass selbst bei einem sich verändernden Abstand zwischen Walzenmantel oder Rollenmantel eine definierte Einstellung der betreffenden Reinigungsdüse vorgenommen werden kann, und zwar auch im Wege einer Regelung. Denn nach Lehre der Erfindung wird mit einer abstandsvariablen Reinigungsdüse gearbeitet. Dadurch ist unschwer eine Anpassung der Reinigungsdüse bzw. deren Abstand an unterschiedliche Walzen- oder Rollendurchmesser möglich. Folglich wird die Reinigungswirkung optimiert. Das gilt insbesondere auch unter Berücksichtigung der Tatsache, dass die Traversiergeschwindigkeit der hin- und herbewegten Reinigungsdüse in Abhängigkeit von der Bandgeschwindigkeit und/oder des Bandmaterials und/oder der Bandoberfläche eingestellt oder geregelt wird. Insgesamt wird eine besonders effiziente Reinigungswirkung erzielt.These measures of the invention have the consequence that even with a changing distance between the roller jacket or roller jacket a defined setting of the concerned cleaning nozzle can be made, and also by means of a regulation. Because according to the teaching of Invention is with a variable-distance cleaning nozzle worked. This makes it easy to adjust the Cleaning nozzle or their distance to different Roll or roll diameter possible. Hence the Cleaning effect optimized. This is especially true taking into account the fact that the traversing speed the reciprocating cleaning nozzle in Dependence on the belt speed and / or the belt material and / or the belt surface or is regulated. Overall, being a particularly efficient one Cleaning effect achieved.

Weitere erfindungswesentliche Maßnahmen sind im folgenden aufgeführt. So kann der Abstand zwischen dem Walzenmantel oder Rollenmantel durch Nachfahren der Reinigungsdüse konstantgehalten werden, also selbst unter Berücksichtigung eines sich ändernden Walzendurchmessers oder Rollendurchmessers. Insoweit kommt also die nach Lehre der Erfindung variable Einstellung der Reinigungsdüse zum Tragen. In diesem Zusammenhang sieht die Erfindung vor, dass der Abstand zwischen dem Walzenmantel oder Rollenmantel und der Reinigungsdüse kleiner als 100 mm gehalten wird, um eine effiziente Hochdruckreinigung zu erreichen.Further measures essential to the invention are as follows listed. So the distance between the roll shell or roller jacket by moving the cleaning nozzle be kept constant, even taking into account a changing roll diameter or roll diameter. In this respect comes the teaching of the invention variable adjustment of the cleaning nozzle for carrying. In this Context, the invention provides that the distance between the roller jacket or roller jacket and the cleaning nozzle is kept smaller than 100 mm to be efficient To achieve high pressure cleaning.

Insoweit wird die Reinigung der betreffenden Walzen oder Rollen zumindest erheblich erleichtert, wenn nicht sogar in manchen Fällen überflüssig. - Nach einer Variante ist vorgesehen, daß das betreffende Metallband beim Überlaufen einer Rolle mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit beaufschlagt wird, sich folglich das betreffende Metallband im Zuge der Reinigung auf der Rolle gegen den Flüssigkeitsdruck abstützen kann. Denn vorzugsweise wird mit einem Flüssigkeitsdruck von mindestens 100 bar gereinigt. - Als Reinigungsflüssigkeit wird zweckmäßigerweise entsalztes bzw. salzfreies Wasser verwendet. Außerdem können der Reinigungsflüssigkeit korrosionshemmende Zusätze beigegeben werden.According to a proposal of the invention it is intended that the metal strip in question before contact with rollers or rollers on its top and / or underside by means of one or more cleaning nozzles charged with cleaning fluid and is cleaned hydromechanically. To that extent, the cleaning of the relevant rolls or rollers at least considerably relieved, if not superfluous in some cases. - According to a variant, it is provided that the relevant Metal tape when cleaning liquid rolls over a roll is acted upon, consequently the relevant Metal tape in the course of cleaning on the roll can support against the fluid pressure. Because preferably with a fluid pressure of at least 100 bar cleaned. - As a cleaning liquid is expedient demineralized or salt-free water is used. In addition, the cleaning fluid can be anti-corrosive Additives are added.
