Definitions
- the invention relates to those devices which are applied, in stands for rolling strips or other flat products, to the working rolls, to the backup rolls or to rolls of other types, in order to bend them and to cause them to adopt a deformed configuration which improves the quality of rolling.
- bending devices consist, in practice, of normal hydraulic jacks which act on the chock supporting the working rolls, along axes perpendicular to the strip to be rolled; the jacks are generally housed in blocks fixed to the uprights of the load-bearing structure of the stand and, as a result of their action, the axis of the working roll is deformed along a curved line which may be concave or convex, according to requirements.
- This prior document describes a set of cylinder-piston units intended to bend the working rolls of the rolling stand, which act on the chocks thereof in a combined manner so as to prevent any play between the chocks and the aforementioned units. This eliminates the risk of impacts while setting the bending forces, particularly when these forces are reversed in order to change the direction of bending of the rolls (that is, in order to change from positive deformation to negative deformation of their axes, or vice versa).
- the bending devices considered in this patent are formed basically by pairs of (partial) jaws which can be operated independently in opposite directions and which act on the roll chocks in order to bring about their bending in opposite directions.
- each jaw which act on the roll chocks are formed on respective shaped bodies arranged at the ends of hydraulically-operated rods; this means that, in order to form each jaw, it is necessary to have two separate, differently-shaped bodies acting along respective parallel axes and which move in opposite directions, in order to grip the chock likewise a jaw.
- each body related to the upper working roll is combined with one of the lower working roll, thus permitting a reduction in size and a limitation of the number of ducts required to supply the operating fluid, the fact that the bodies forming a same jaw slide along corresponding separate axes is rather disadvantageous.
- a solution of this type does in fact compensate for the unbalanced action mentioned above; this is because the body which is interposed between the other two acts on the chock (urging it upwards, or downwards, according to the chock concerned) in the opposite direction to the other two, and the resulting combined effect produces two pairs of equal and opposite forces which thus cancel one another out.
- the structural complexity of the known devices also requires a corresponding (large) number of oil-supply ducts, and a certain difficulty in the control of the operation of the bending devices can consequently not be ruled out.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for bending the rolls of a rolling stand, having structural and functional characteristics such as to overcome the problems encountered in the prior art considered above.
- the first figure shows a stand for rolling strips or other flat products, in which a pair of opposed working rolls 1 and 2 are reinforced, respectively, by backup rolls 3 and 4.
- the working rolls 1, 2 and the backup rolls 3, 4 are borne by corresponding chocks 9, 10 and 11, 12, mounted in the structure 7 in known manner; the bending devices 20 of the present invention act on the chocks 9 and 10 of the working rolls.
- FIG 2 shows in detail one of the bending devices 20 present in the above-mentioned stand; since these devices are identical, only one of them will be described below, the description being intended also to apply ( mutatis mutandis ) to the others.
- each chock 9, 10 of the working rolls 1, 2 there are two devices 20 that are arranged one on each side, in opposed positions.
- Each device 20 consists of a block 21 fixed to one of the uprights of the structure of the stand and provided with a cylindrical cavity 22; this cavity is in communication, by means of ducts 23, 24 and 25 extending through the block 21, with a pump, not shown in the drawings, for supplying an operating fluid.
- the cavity 22 is bounded at the top by a sealing ring 26.
- a first piston 30 fixed to a rod 31, is slidable in the cavity 22, the rod being disposed centrally along the axis of the cavity with its end 31a remote from the piston 30 projecting beyond the sealing ring 26.
- a second piston 32 and a sleeve 33 fixed thereto are mounted coaxially for sliding relative to the rod 31; the second piston 32 also slides in a similar manner to the first one along the walls of the cavity 22, whereas the opposite end of the sleeve 33 projects beyond the ring 26 which provides a seal against leakage of oil from the cavity 22 towards the exterior.
- the pistons 30 and 32 divide the cavity 22 into an upper annular chamber 22a, a cylindrical chamber 22b, and an intermediate chamber 22c, which respectively communicate with the ducts 23, 25 and 24.
- small blocks 38 and 39 are advantageously positioned between the surfaces which move relative to one another such as, for example, the hook 35 and the block 21, or the block 21 and the chock 9, to facilitate sliding.
- pistons 30 and 32 are moved upwards or downwards according to requirements, by the supply of oil or another fluid under pressure to the cavity 22 through the ducts 23, 24 and 25.
- the projecting end 31a of the rod 31 urges the appendage 9a of the chocks upwards, whilst the hook 35 at this stage exerts a small (balancing) force produced by the supply of oil to the annular chamber 22a at low pressure, to ensure it maintains contact with the appendage 9a from the upper side thereof; also hook 35 is therefore moved in the direction (upward) of the bending force produced, in this case, by the piston 30.
- the second piston 32 is urged downwards whilst the sleeve 33 fixed thereto slides relative to the rod 31 and the movement thereof is therefore transmitted to the hook 35 which thus exerts a downward force on the appendage 9a of the chock 9, so as to bring about the desired negative bending.
- the rod 31 applies a slight upward (balancing) force to the appendage 9a in order to keep itself in contact therewith, as described above for the hook 35.
- the bending device according to the invention in practice acts as a clamp which grips the appendage 9a for raising and lowering it, as required.
- the elements which act on the appendage, that is, the hook 35 and the rod 31, advantageously remain in contact therewith even when the direction of the bending imparted to the rolls is reversed, thus avoiding the risk of damaging impacts during the operation of the device.
- the elements which serve to "grip" the chock of the roll to be bent that is, the hook 35 and the projecting end of the rod 31
- those which form the jaws in European patent No. 623 401 move along the same axis, that is to say, the axis of the cylindrical chamber 22, of the rod 31, and of the sleeve 33, this axis being common to all of these elements.
- this solution is particularly favourable because it simplifies the device structurally, given that only one cavity is now required for housing two pistons which move the members for gripping the chock (the hook 35 and the rod 31); naturally, the aspects connected with the operation of the device, that is, the number of ducts necessary for supplying the operating fluid and its control system are also advantageously reduced.
- the device of the invention can be formed either independently, that is, with each device structurally and functionally separate from the others present in the rolling stand, or in an interconnected manner, as just explained.
