Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plant for annealing metal straps, and in particular to a plant for annealing in a continuous manner a metal strap coming from a rolling mill.
- the metal straps are generally formed of a metal wire, for example made of copper, aluminum or their alloys, which is shaped in a rolling mill for conferring it a particular section, for example rectangular or square. During this rolling process the metal hardens, so that the strap becomes very rigid and must therefore be annealed for bringing it back to the initial mechanical features. It is not possible to anneal the straps with the known Joule-effect plants (see e.g. EP-A-1063306 ) employed for continuously annealing the metal wires, since the strap, being rolled and not drawn as the wires, is much more rigid than the latter, so that it does not perfectly adhere to the electrified rollers of these known plants and thus it does not become sufficiently hot for being annealed.
- a metal wire for example made of copper, aluminum or their alloys
- said known annealing plants for the wires should be modified for increasing the strap pulling force, which however would cause the breaking of the same straps in the annealing zone, where their mechanical resistance is reduced due to their heating.
- JP - 10 237557 discloses a device with electrified rollers for heating a metal plate. Since the contact between plate and rollers is limited only to a generatrix of the latter, said device cannot be used for annealing straps, because this limited contact is not sufficient for adequately heating and thus annealing a strap, which is relatively narrower and thicker than a plate. Furthermore, the diameter of the rollers is relatively small, so that they cannot deviate the running direction of a strap without permanently deforming the latter.
- the straps are wound around a bobbin after the rolling process and are annealed in a oven, i.e. in a discontinuous manner, with the consequent waste of energy, time, space and/or human resources.
- the plant according to the present invention allows to anneal in a continuous manner metal straps, also very rigid and having different thicknesses and widths. Furthermore, thanks to the particular trajectory followed by the strap for passing around the electrified rollers, the strap does not undergo breakings or deformations even when it is annealed.
- the plant according to the present invention preferably comprises particular control rollers and/or pulling devices for improving the feed of the strap without suffering sudden tensile stresses which could ruin it.
- the plant can be provided with a chamber filled with saturated vapor for avoiding the strap oxidation during the annealing, as well as with a tank a duct and drying chambers for cooling and drying the strap.
- the plant according to the present embodiment of the invention comprises at least three electrified rollers 1, 2, 3, the outer surface of which is conductive and connected to an electric voltage generator.
- the voltage of the second electrified roller 2 is therefore higher or lower than the voltage of the first roller 1 and of the third roller 3, so that a strap 4 passing around these electrified rollers 1, 2, 3 is crossed by an electric current and becomes hot due to the Joule effect.
- the diameter of the electrified rollers 1, 2, 3 is equal to the thickness of the strap 4 multiplied by a coefficient k greater than 200, preferably greater than 330, and in any case greater than 700 mm, in particular comprised between 1400 and 1600 mm.
- the electrified rollers 1, 2, 3 are arranged with the rotation axis substantially horizontal, wherein the rotation axis of the second electrified roller 2 is arranged above or below the rotation axes of the electrified rollers 1 and 3.
- the outer surface of the electrified rollers 1 and 3 is provided with a replaceable contact ring made of an alloy of nickel or copper, while the outer surface of the second electrified roller 2 is provided with a contact ring made of an alloy of nickel or copper.
- the electrified rollers 1, 2, 3 are cooled by a liquid cooling system and are driven by motors with a controlled speed, also of a known kind. Said cooling system and said motors are arranged in a support structure 5 which can be closed frontally by one or more motorized rolling shutters 6. From the entrance to the exit of the plant, strap 4 follows a path lying on a substantially vertical plane.
- strap 4 coming from the outside reaches a first control roller 7 pivoted to an arm 8 which is in turn pivoted to the support structure 5 and is urged by adjustable elastic means so as to oscillate according to the tension of strap 4.
- the strap passes around an idle roller 9 pivoted to the support structure 5 and reaches a first pulling device 10 provided with a pair of rubber belts between which strap 4 is pressed for being pulled inside the plant.
- the feed speed of the pulling device 10 is controlled for varying according to the speed of strap 4 when it goes into the plant.
- Said speed can be for example detected by a sensor arranged close to the control roller 7 or it can be communicated by means of electric signals by sensors arranged upstream the plant, for example in the rolling mill.
- the feed speed of the pulling device 10 is further controlled for varying according to the angular position of arm 8, which is detected by an electric or electronic sensor, so as to compensate changes, if any, of the entry speed of strap 4.
- the latter after having crossed two opposing idle rollers 11, 12, one of which pivoted on an oscillating arm 13, reaches a second control roller 15 pivoted to an arm 14 which is in turn pivoted to the support structure 5 and is urged by adjustable elastic means so as to oscillate according to the tension of strap 4.
- the latter after having gone beyond the second control roller 14, reaches the first electrified roller 1 which deviates it with an angle a less than 90°, in particular comprised between 40° and 80°.
- strap 4 passes through a series of ceramic rings 15 mounted in a mobile manner on plates 16 which are fixed to the front wall of the support structure 5 and are provided with horizontal rails for mounting rings 15 at different positions.
- Guides 17 provided with rollers are fixed to the front wall of the support structure 5 for making strap 4 run along an alternative path 18 (shown with a broken line) for bypassing the electrified rollers 1, 2, 3, thus passing beside them, when strap 4 coming from the rolling mill must not be annealed.
- strap 4 reaches a temperature comprised between 160° and 200°.
- strap 4 after it has gone beyond the first electrified roller 1, reaches the second electrified roller 2 which deviates it with an angle b less than 90°, in particular comprised between 40° and 80°, after which it goes into a chamber 19 arranged between the electrified rollers 2, 3. Since between these two rollers the strap reaches an annealing temperature, in particular comprised between 500° and 600°, a saturated vapor is let into chamber 19 for avoiding the oxidation of strap 4.
- the rotation speed of the electrified roller 3 is slightly greater than the speed of the electrified roller 2, in turn slightly greater than the speed of the electrified roller 1, so as to compensate the thermal dilatation of strap 4 due to its heating.

Description
- The present invention relates to a plant for annealing metal straps, and in particular to a plant for annealing in a continuous manner a metal strap coming from a rolling mill.
- The metal straps are generally formed of a metal wire, for example made of copper, aluminum or their alloys, which is shaped in a rolling mill for conferring it a particular section, for example rectangular or square. During this rolling process the metal hardens, so that the strap becomes very rigid and must therefore be annealed for bringing it back to the initial mechanical features. It is not possible to anneal the straps with the known Joule-effect plants (see e.g.
EP-A-1063306 ) employed for continuously annealing the metal wires, since the strap, being rolled and not drawn as the wires, is much more rigid than the latter, so that it does not perfectly adhere to the electrified rollers of these known plants and thus it does not become sufficiently hot for being annealed. Furthermore, due to the high mechanical rigidity of the straps, said known annealing plants for the wires should be modified for increasing the strap pulling force, which however would cause the breaking of the same straps in the annealing zone, where their mechanical resistance is reduced due to their heating. -
JP - 10 237557 - For avoiding these drawbacks, the straps are wound around a bobbin after the rolling process and are annealed in a oven, i.e. in a discontinuous manner, with the consequent waste of energy, time, space and/or human resources.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a plant for annealing metal straps in a continuous manner. Said object is achieved with a plant, the main features of which are disclosed in the first claim, while other features are disclosed in the subsequent claims.
- Thanks to the particular arrangement and measurement of the electrified rollers, the plant according to the present invention allows to anneal in a continuous manner metal straps, also very rigid and having different thicknesses and widths. Furthermore, thanks to the particular trajectory followed by the strap for passing around the electrified rollers, the strap does not undergo breakings or deformations even when it is annealed.
- The plant according to the present invention preferably comprises particular control rollers and/or pulling devices for improving the feed of the strap without suffering sudden tensile stresses which could ruin it.
- According to particular aspects of the invention, the plant can be provided with a chamber filled with saturated vapor for avoiding the strap oxidation during the annealing, as well as with a tank a duct and drying chambers for cooling and drying the strap.
- Further advantages and features of the plant according to the present invention will become clear to those skilled in the art from the following detailed and non-limiting description of an embodiment thereof with reference to the attached drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 shows a front view of the plant according to the present invention;
- figure 2 shows a first enlarged front view of the plant of figure 1;
- figure 3 shows a second enlarged front view of the plant of figure 1; and
- figure 4 shows a third enlarged front view of the plant of figure 1.
- Referring to figure 1, it is seen that the plant according to the present embodiment of the invention comprises at least three
electrified rollers roller 2 is therefore higher or lower than the voltage of the first roller 1 and of thethird roller 3, so that astrap 4 passing around these electrifiedrollers rollers strap 4 multiplied by a coefficient k greater than 200, preferably greater than 330, and in any case greater than 700 mm, in particular comprised between 1400 and 1600 mm. The electrifiedrollers roller 2 is arranged above or below the rotation axes of theelectrified rollers 1 and 3. The outer surface of the electrifiedrollers 1 and 3 is provided with a replaceable contact ring made of an alloy of nickel or copper, while the outer surface of the second electrifiedroller 2 is provided with a contact ring made of an alloy of nickel or copper. The electrifiedrollers support structure 5 which can be closed frontally by one or more motorizedrolling shutters 6. From the entrance to the exit of the plant,strap 4 follows a path lying on a substantially vertical plane. - Referring to figure 2, it is seen that
strap 4 coming from the outside, for example from a rolling mill, reaches a first control roller 7 pivoted to an arm 8 which is in turn pivoted to thesupport structure 5 and is urged by adjustable elastic means so as to oscillate according to the tension ofstrap 4. After the first control roller 7, the strap passes around anidle roller 9 pivoted to thesupport structure 5 and reaches afirst pulling device 10 provided with a pair of rubber belts between whichstrap 4 is pressed for being pulled inside the plant. The feed speed of thepulling device 10 is controlled for varying according to the speed ofstrap 4 when it goes into the plant. Said speed can be for example detected by a sensor arranged close to the control roller 7 or it can be communicated by means of electric signals by sensors arranged upstream the plant, for example in the rolling mill. The feed speed of thepulling device 10 is further controlled for varying according to the angular position of arm 8, which is detected by an electric or electronic sensor, so as to compensate changes, if any, of the entry speed ofstrap 4. The latter, after having crossed two opposingidle rollers arm 13, reaches asecond control roller 15 pivoted to anarm 14 which is in turn pivoted to thesupport structure 5 and is urged by adjustable elastic means so as to oscillate according to the tension ofstrap 4. The latter, after having gone beyond thesecond control roller 14, reaches the first electrified roller 1 which deviates it with an angle a less than 90°, in particular comprised between 40° and 80°. Before, reaching the second electrifiedroller 2,strap 4 passes through a series ofceramic rings 15 mounted in a mobile manner onplates 16 which are fixed to the front wall of thesupport structure 5 and are provided with horizontal rails formounting rings 15 at different positions.Guides 17 provided with rollers are fixed to the front wall of thesupport structure 5 for makingstrap 4 run along an alternative path 18 (shown with a broken line) for bypassing the electrifiedrollers strap 4 coming from the rolling mill must not be annealed. In the way comprised between the electrifiedrollers 1 and 2,strap 4 reaches a temperature comprised between 160° and 200°. - Referring to figure 3, it is seen that
strap 4, after it has gone beyond the first electrified roller 1, reaches the second electrifiedroller 2 which deviates it with an angle b less than 90°, in particular comprised between 40° and 80°, after which it goes into achamber 19 arranged between the electrifiedrollers chamber 19 for avoiding the oxidation ofstrap 4. The rotation speed of the electrifiedroller 3 is slightly greater than the speed of the electrifiedroller 2, in turn slightly greater than the speed of the electrified roller 1, so as to compensate the thermal dilatation ofstrap 4 due to its heating.Chamber 19 is connected to atank 20 arranged under the electrifiedroller 3, so thatstrap 4 is immersed in a cooling liquid contained intank 20 when it passes around the electrifiedroller 3. Said cooling liquid is for example water with a low percentage, for example comprised between 0,1 % and 2%, of drawing oil.Strap 4 is deviated by the third electrifiedroller 3 with an angle c less than 90°, in particular comprised between 40° and 80°, after which it goes into aduct 21 in which the cooling liquid is let in and flows in the direction opposite to the feed direction ofstrap 4, so that this liquid is collected intank 20 for being pumped again intoduct 21. - Referring to figure 4, it is seen that
strap 4, after it has leftduct 21, passes along anidle roller 22 covered by acover 23 and crosses one ormore drying chambers 24 in which compressed air is let it for eliminating the cooling liquid, after which it goes into asecond pulling device 25 provided with a pair of rubber belts between whichstrap 4 is pressed for being pulled out of the plant. The feed speed of thesecond pulling device 25 is controlled for varying according to the feed speed of thefirst pulling device 10 and of the angular position ofarm 14 of thesecond control roller 15, which is detected by an electric or electronic sensor, so as to compensate changes, if any, of the feed speed of thepulling device 10. One ormore sensors 26 can be arranged at the exit of the plant of checking the size ofstrap 4.
