Abstract

A horizontal strip accumulator for metal strip includes a looper car which is moveable along a travel path at at least one swivel gate which is moveable, when the looper car is moved, by the looper car between a starting position and an end position. For moving the swivel gate, the looper car acts on an actuating element which is connected with the swivel gate through a four-gear mechanism with two swivels. The swivel gate is rotatably arranged on one swivel and the actuating element is rotatably arranged on the other swivel. The actuating element has spoke-shaped projections and the looper car has counter projections which engage between the spoke-shaped projections.

Description

Horizontal-BandspeicherHorizontal tape storage
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Horizontal-Bandspeicher für Metallband, insbesondere Stahlband, mit einem entlang eines Verfahrweges verfahrbaren Schlingenwagen und mindestens einem beim Verfahren des Schiingenwagens von dem Schlingenwagen von einer Anfangsposition in eine Endposition verfahrbaren Schwenktor, wobei der Schlingenwagen zum Verfahren des Schwenktors auf ein Betätigungselement wirkt, das mit dem Schwenktor über ein Viergelenkgetriebe mit zwei Drehpunkten verbunden ist, wobei das Schwenktor an dem einen und das Betätigungselement an dem anderen der Drehpunkte drehbar angeordnet sind.The present invention relates to a horizontal belt store for metal belt, in particular steel belt, with a loop carriage that can be moved along a travel path and at least one swivel arm that can be moved from the initial position into an end position during the movement of the loop carriage, the loop carriage for moving the swing gate onto an actuating element acts, which is connected to the pivot via a four-bar mechanism with two pivot points, the pivot on one and the actuating element on the other of the pivot points.
In Horizontal -Bandspeichern muß das gespeicherte Band unterstützt werden, um einen zu großen Banddurchhang zu vermeiden. Hierzu sind zwei Systeme bekannt. Bei dem einen System werden Nachläuferwagen verwendet, welche hinter dem Schlingenwagen herfahren und so in gleichmäßigen Abständen für eine Bandunterstützung sorgen. Bei dem anderen System sind in regelmäßigen Abständen Schwenktore an den Seiten des Bandspeichers befestigt. Die Schwenktore werden zur Durchfahrt des Schiingenwagens geöffnet. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft das System mit Schwenktoren.In horizontal tape memories, the saved tape must be supported in order to avoid excessive tape sag. Two systems are known for this. In one system, back-up carriages are used, which drive behind the sling carriage and thus provide belt support at regular intervals. In the other system, swing gates are attached to the sides of the belt store at regular intervals. The swing gates are opened to allow the Schiingen car to pass through. The present invention relates to the system with swing gates.
Horizontal-Bandspeicher gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 wurden früher in Walzwerken eingesetzt. Bei ihnen bestand das Betätigungselement aus einem Autoreifen, der vom Schlingenwagen im Reibschluß mitgenommen wurde. Die Konstruktion dieses Horizontal-Bandspeichers war relativ einfach. Aufgrund des Reib- Schlusses von Schlingenwagen und Betätigungselement war jedoch die Justierung des Betätigungselements sehr kritisch. Darüber hinaus war das Betätigungselement sehr verschleißträchtig und aufgrund der Abhängigkeit des Reibschlusses vom Reifendruck - auch vergleichsweise unzuverlässig.Horizontal strip storage devices according to the preamble of claim 1 were previously used in rolling mills. For them, the actuating element consisted of a car tire, which was carried along by the loop car in frictional engagement. The construction of this horizontal tape storage was relatively simple. Due to the friction At the end of the sling carriage and actuating element, however, the adjustment of the actuating element was very critical. In addition, the actuating element was very susceptible to wear and, due to the dependence of the frictional engagement on the tire pressure, was also comparatively unreliable.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, einen Horizontal-Bandspeicher für Metallband zu schaffen, der unter Beibehaltung des einfachen konstruktiven Aufbaus erheblich zuverlässiger arbeitet.The object of the present invention is to provide a horizontal tape store for metal tape, which works considerably more reliably while maintaining the simple construction.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß der Schlingenwagen beim Verfahren des Schwenktors formschlüssig in das Betätigungselement eingreift. Denn dadurch wird eine Zwangsführung des Betätigungselements bewirkt, so daß Störungen durch einen mangelhaften Reibschluß nicht mehr auftreten können. Auch ist die Justierung des Betätigungselements relativ zum Verfahrweg des Schlingenwa- gens erheblich unkritischer.The object is achieved in that the sling carriage engages positively in the actuating element when moving the swing gate. Because this causes a positive guidance of the actuating element, so that malfunctions due to an insufficient frictional engagement can no longer occur. The adjustment of the actuating element relative to the travel path of the sling carriage is also considerably less critical.
Wenn das Schwenktor ein Halteelement aufweist, von dem das Schwenktor sowohl in der Anfangsposition als auch in der Endposition stabil gehalten wird, kann ein eigener Verriegelungs- mechanismus für das Schwenktor entfallen. Das Halteelement kann dabei alternativ z.B. als Feder oder als Gewicht ausgebildet sein.If the swing arm has a holding element by which the swing arm is held stable both in the initial position and in the end position, a separate locking mechanism for the swing arm can be omitted. The holding element can alternatively e.g. be designed as a spring or as a weight.
Wenn das Betätigungselement speichenartige Vorsprünge mit einer Vorsprungdicke aufweist, die in einem Speichenabstand voneinander beabstandet sind, und der Schlingenwagen mit Gegenvor- sprüngen zwischen die speichenartigen Vorsprünge eingreift, ist der konstruktive Aufbau des Betätigungselements und des Schiingenwagens besonders einfach. Wenn die Gegenvorsprünge rollenartig ausgebildet sind, ergibt sich ein besonders verschleiß- und reibungsarmer Kontakt der Gegenvorsprünge mit den Vorsprüngen. Auch wird in diesem Fall das Schwenktor besonders weich vom Schlingenwagen mitgenommen.If the actuating element has spoke-like projections with a projection thickness that are spaced apart from one another at a spoke spacing, and the loop carriage engages with counter-projections between the spoke-like projections, the structural design of the actuating element and the loop carriage is particularly simple. If the counter-protrusions are formed in a roll-like manner, the counter-protrusions have a particularly low-wear and low-friction contact with the protrusions. In this case, too, the swing arm is carried particularly gently by the loop carriage.
Wenn benachbarte Gegenvorsprünge abwechselnd um einen großen und einen kleinen Abstand voneinander beabstandet sind, ergibt sich ein besonders geringes Spiel des Betätigungselements und damit des Schwenktors, wenn der Schlingenwagen während des Betätigungsvorgangs seine Verfahrrichtung wechselt .If adjacent counter-projections are alternately spaced apart from one another by a large and a small distance, there is particularly little play in the actuating element and thus in the pivoting gate when the sling carriage changes its direction of travel during the actuating process.
Das Spiel des Schwenktors/des Betätigungselements ist praktisch Null, wenn der kleine Abstand mit der Vorsprungdicke derart korrespondiert, daß einer der speichenartige Vorsprünge zwischen benachbarte Gegenvorsprünge einführbar ist, die um den kleinen Abstand voneinander beabstandet sind, und die Summe von großem und kleinem Abstand zumindest in etwa gleich dem Speichenabstand ist .The play of the swing gate / the actuating element is practically zero if the small distance corresponds to the projection thickness in such a way that one of the spoke-like projections can be inserted between adjacent counter-projections which are spaced apart by the small distance, and the sum of the large and small distances at least is approximately equal to the spoke distance.
Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels. Dabei zeigen in Prinzipdarstellung :Further advantages and details emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment. In principle, the following show:
Figur 1 einen Horizontal-Bandspeicher undFigure 1 is a horizontal tape storage and
Figur 2 einen Schlingenwagen und ein Schwenktor.Figure 2 shows a sling car and a swing arm.
Gemäß Fig. 1 läuft ein Stahlband 1 aus einem Walzgerüst 2 aus. Das Stahlband 1 wird nach dem Auslaufen aus dem Walzgerüst 2 über eine erste Umlenkrolle 3 und eine zweite Umlenkrolle 4 geführt. Die erste Umlenkrolle 3 ist auf einem Schlingenwagen 5 angeordnet. Der Schlingenwagen 5 ist entlang eines Verfahrweges in einer Verfahrrichtung x verfahrbar. Durch das Verfahren des Schiingenwagens 5 ändert sich die Länge des Stahlbandes 1, die sich zwischen Walzgerüst 2 und zweiter Umlenkrolle 4 befindet. Der Schlingenwagen 5 bildet daher im Zusammenwirken mit dem Walzgerüst 2 und der zweiten Umlenkrolle 4 einen Bandspeicher. Da das Band 1 im Speicherbereich horizontal liegt, ist der Bandspeicher ein Horizontal-Bandspeicher.1, a steel strip 1 runs out of a roll stand 2. The steel strip 1 is guided over a first deflection roller 3 and a second deflection roller 4 after it has left the roll stand 2. The first deflection roller 3 is arranged on a loop carriage 5. The loop carriage 5 can be moved along a travel path in a travel direction x. Through the process the sling car 5 changes the length of the steel strip 1, which is located between the roll stand 2 and the second deflection roller 4. The loop carriage 5 therefore forms a band store in cooperation with the roll stand 2 and the second deflection roller 4. Since the tape 1 is horizontal in the storage area, the tape storage is a horizontal tape storage.
Der Schlingenwagen 5 kann von dem Walzgerüst 2 und der zweiten Umlenkrolle 4 bis zu 100 m beabstandet sein. Um ein übermäßiges Durchhängen des Stahlbandes 1 zu vermeiden, ist es daher erforderlich, das Stahlband 1 zu unterstützen. Hierzu sind Schwenktore 6 vorgesehen. Wenn der Schlingenwagen 5 sich auf das Walzgerüst 2 zu bewegt, verfährt er das jeweils nächstliegende Schwenkktor 6 von einer geschlossenen und eine geöffnete Stellung. Die geschlossene Stellung entspricht in diesem Fall der Anfangsposition, die geöffnete Stellung der Endposition. Umgekehrt schließt der Schlingenwagen 5 nach dem Passieren eines der Schwenktore 6 in umgekehrter Richtung dieses Schwenktor. In diesem Fall entspricht die geöffnete Stellung der Anfangsposition, die geschlossene Stellung der Endposition.The loop carriage 5 can be spaced from the roll stand 2 and the second deflection roller 4 by up to 100 m. In order to avoid excessive sagging of the steel strip 1, it is therefore necessary to support the steel strip 1. For this purpose, swing gates 6 are provided. When the sling carriage 5 moves towards the roll stand 2, it moves the swivel arm 6 closest to it from a closed and an open position. In this case, the closed position corresponds to the start position, the open position to the end position. Conversely, after passing through one of the swing gates 6, the loop car 5 closes this swing arm in the opposite direction. In this case, the open position corresponds to the start position, the closed position to the end position.
Die Schwenktore 6 werden also von dem Schlingenwagen 5 verfahren. Hierzu wirkt der Schlingenwagen 5 bei jedem der Schwenktore 6 auf ein Betätigungselement 7. Das Zusammenwirken von Schlingenwagen 5 und Betätigungselement 7 wird nachfolgend in Verbindung mit Fig. 2 näher erläutert.The swing gates 6 are thus moved by the loop carriage 5. For this purpose, the loop carriage 5 acts on each of the swing gates 6 on an actuating element 7. The interaction of loop carriage 5 and actuating element 7 is explained in more detail below in connection with FIG. 2.
Gemäß Fig. 2 ist das Betätigungselement 7 über ein Viergelenkgetriebe 8 mit dem jeweiligen Schwenktor 6 verbunden. Das Viergelenkgetriebe 8 weist zwei Drehpunkte 9, 10 und zwei Gelenkpunkte 11, 12 auf. Die Dreh- und Gelenkpunkte 9 bis 12 sind über Hebelarme 13 miteinander verbunden. Ersichtlich ist das jeweilige Schwenktor 6 an dem einen und das Betätigungselement 7 an dem anderen der Drehpunkte 9, 10 drehbar angeordnet.2, the actuating element 7 is connected to the respective pivot 6 via a four-bar linkage 8. The four-bar linkage 8 has two pivot points 9, 10 and two link points 11, 12. The pivot and hinge points 9 to 12 are connected to one another via lever arms 13. This is evident Schwenktor 6 on one and the actuating element 7 on the other of the pivot points 9, 10 rotatably arranged.
Zum Verfahren des jeweiligen Schwenktors 6 wirkt der Schlingenwagen 5 auf das Betätigungselement 7. Der Schlingenwagen 5 greift dabei formschlüssig in das Betätigungselement 7 ein. Somit erfolgt ein zwangsweises Mitnehmen des Betätigungselements 7. Ein Reibschluß zwischen Betätigungselement 7 und Schlingenwagen 5 ist nicht erforderlich.To move the respective swing gate 6, the loop carriage 5 acts on the actuating element 7. The loop carriage 5 engages in a form-fitting manner in the actuating element 7. Thus, the actuating element 7 is forcibly carried along. A frictional connection between the actuating element 7 and the loop carriage 5 is not necessary.
Der Formschluß wird gemäß Fig. 2 dadurch bewirkt, daß das Betätigungselement 7 speichenartige Vorsprünge 14 aufweist . Die speichenartigen Vorsprünge 14 weisen eine Vorsprungdicke d auf. Sie sind in einem Speichenabstand a voneinander beabstandet. Am Schlingenwagen 5 sind Gegenvorsprünge 15 angeordnet, die beim Verfahren des Schiingenwagens 5 zwischen die speichenartigen Vorsprünge 14 eingreifen. Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, sind die Gegenvorsprünge 15 rollenartig ausgebildet und abwechselnd um einen großen und einen kleinen Abstand g, k voneinander beabstandet . Der kleine Abstand k korrespondiert mit der Vorsprungdicke d derart, daß je einer der speichenartigen Vorsprünge 14 zwischen zwei Gegenvorsprünge 15 eingeführt werden kann, die um den kleinen Abstand k voneinander beabstandet sind. Der große Abstand g ist derart bemessen, daß aufeinanderfolgende speichenartige Vorsprünge des Betätigungselements 7 zwischen zwei Gegenvorsprünge 15 eingeführt werden, die um den kleinen Abstand k voneinander beabstandet sind. Die Summe von großem Abstand g und kleinem Abstand k ist somit - zumindest in etwa - gleich dem Speichenabstand a.2 is effected in that the actuating element 7 has spoke-like projections 14. The spoke-like projections 14 have a projection thickness d. They are spaced apart from one another at a spoke distance a. Counter-projections 15 are arranged on the loop carriage 5, which engage between the spoke-like projections 14 when the loop carriage 5 is moved. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the counter-projections 15 are formed in a roll-like manner and are spaced apart from one another by a large and a small distance g, k. The small distance k corresponds to the projection thickness d such that one of the spoke-like projections 14 can be inserted between two counter-projections 15 which are spaced apart by the small distance k. The large distance g is dimensioned such that successive spoke-like projections of the actuating element 7 are inserted between two counter-projections 15 which are spaced apart from one another by the small distance k. The sum of the large distance g and the small distance k is thus - at least approximately - equal to the spoke distance a.
Das Schwenktor 6 muß in seiner Anfangs- und seiner Endposition gegen unbeabsichtigte Positionsänderungen gesichert sein. Dies kann bspw. durch einen separaten Verriegelungsmechanismus ge- schehen. Gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel - hier Fig. 1 - weist das Schwenktor 6 ein Halteelement 16 auf. Von dem Halteelement 16 wird das Schwenktor 6 sowohl in der Anfangsposition als auch in der Endposition stabil gehalten. Gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Halteelement 16 als Feder 16 ausgebildet. Alternativ könnte das Halteelement 16 aber auch als Gewicht ausgebildet sein. The swing arm 6 must be secured in its starting and end positions against unintentional changes in position. This can be done, for example, by a separate locking mechanism. happen. According to the embodiment - here Fig. 1 - the Schwenktor 6 has a holding element 16. The pivot element 6 is held stable by the holding element 16 both in the initial position and in the final position. According to the exemplary embodiment, the holding element 16 is designed as a spring 16. Alternatively, the holding element 16 could also be designed as a weight.
