Definitions

  • the invention relates to stator windows of hot rolling stands Blocks with hydraulic piston-cylinder units provided as a bending device, the guide pieces on the chocks of the work rolls Are able to transmit bending forces.
  • DE 195 36 042 A1 discloses a guide device for four- or multi-roll Cold rolling stands, with a bending cylinder on each side of the chocks gets along. Axial displacement of the rollers is ensured that the bending blocks can be moved in the window guides fixed axial guides are arranged. Through these guides, the stand window severely constricted.
  • JP-A-59-153505 discloses a guide device for the work rolls of a cold rolling mill with a bending cylinder on each side of the chocks is provided. These bending cylinders work on swiveling Guide pieces, which build the bending blocks very strong, so that the Stand windows are constricted accordingly or accordingly large stand windows with the associated considerable application costs Find.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, work roll bending devices to create the genus described above, which the be applied Are able to effect actuating forces with a piston-cylinder unit, and whose dimensions are so small that easy accommodation in the Stand window blocks to be provided and the free choice of Bearing of the backup rollers remains secured.
  • a spar 1 of a stand of a hot rolling stand has broken off shown, with a bending device shown as a vertical section 2 is provided.
  • the essential components of this bending device 2 are in a hollow cylindrical housing 3 is arranged.
  • a vertically movable Printing cylinder 4 contains in its upper, expanded, and guided in the housing 3 Area a piston 5, the piston rod 6 in the lower, also with smaller outer diameter executed area of the pressure cylinder 4 in a stamp sleeve 7 is guided, which in turn through wear surfaces 8th of the housing 3 is guided.
  • the piston rod 6 passes through a flange Stamp sleeve 7 and is supported on this by means of a pressure ring 9, while the end sleeve 11 held with an end plate 10 tensile forces of the piston rod 6 is able to transfer.
  • the end plate 10 is with a lateral one Provide recess of the stamp sleeve 7 engaging nose, which together with a bolt connected to it as an anti-rotation device for pistons 5 and Piston rod 6 is used.
  • the work rolls 16, 17 of the hot rolling stand designed as a four-high stand are stored in the chocks 18, 19 with bearings, not shown.
  • These chocks are equipped with laterally projecting lugs 20, 21, which engage in grooves 22, 23 of the guide pieces 12, 13 and via pressure plates 24 support themselves against their flanks.
  • the nose 21 is with another Pressure plate 25 equipped, on which the complete set of work rolls Switch is extendable.
  • the lug 20 of the chock 18 holds the guide piece 12 at a height assigned to the work roll 16 via its pressure plates 24 which are supported on the flanks of the groove 22, while the position of the work roll 17 over the lug 21 and the flanks of the groove 23 supporting pressure plates 24 determines the height of the guide piece 13.
  • the punch sleeve 7 and the piston rod 6 of the piston 5 are connected to the guide piece 13, while the guide piece 12 is screwed to the pressure cylinder 4. This means that the position of the piston 5 in the pressure cylinder 4 is determined by the position of the chocks 18 and 19.
  • the upper and / or the lower of the cylinder chambers formed in the pressure cylinder 4 are now pressurized and the surfaces of the double-acting piston 5 are accordingly acted upon.
  • the forces thus developed on the piston surfaces are supplied to the guide pieces 12, 13 which can be displaced vertically by the guide surfaces of the pressure cylinder 4 and the stamp sleeve 7 in the housing 3 and, via the lugs 20, 21, stress the chocks 18, 19 with the required pretension.
  • the work rolls 16, 17 are moved by the lifting rail 28 raised, the lower chock 19 with its on the nose 21st provided pressure plate 25 is supported on the lifting rail 28.
  • the bending device For the roll change, it is expedient and known to use parts of the bending device to fix in their intended position for the roll change in order after the roller has been extended, it can be adjusted again without further adjustment to be able to drive in.
  • the piston 30 In the exemplary embodiment, there is one in a recess of the spar 1 arranged hydraulic cylinder 29 is provided, the piston 30 is equipped with a centering pin 31. In the drawing this is Bolt shown in the locking position in which the piston 30 is pushed out and the bolt 31 in a recess of the guide piece 12, keeping it at a constant height, inserted.
