Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rolling stand for the production of rolled strip or sheet metal with work rolls, which are supported on support rolls or intermediate rolls and support rolls, wherein at least one of these rollers has a running over the entire effective bale length, describable by a non-linear function bale contour and the bale contour of this at least one Roller has bevels in at least one of the edge regions of their longitudinal extent and forms a corrected bale contours in these edge regions.
  • a rolling mill of this kind is for example from the AT 410765 B already known.
  • the roll bale contour of these rollers known in the art under the name SmartCrown® is mathematically describable by a modified sine function. By a suitable choice of the contour parameters, this results in a cosinusoidal idling gap, which can be influenced in its amplitude by axial displacement of the rollers.
  • the rolls of rolling mills can also have many other bale contours, which are characterized, for example, by a cylindrical, bulbous, concave-convexly curved or another curved contour.
  • bale ends of the rolls are usually chamfered and thus have an exemption in these edge regions. Exemptions of this kind are from the EP 0 258 482 A1 or the EP 1 228 818 A2 already known.
  • a two-stage regrind of the bale contour on work rolls in a quarto scaffolding or on intermediate rolls on a sexto scaffold is known.
  • a first regrind occurs in the direction of the end of the bale using a circular arc function, with exactly the same problems occurring in the transition region of the central bale contour into the regrind contour, as described above with respect to the older state of the art.
  • the first regrind is followed by a second regrind, which extends to the end of the bale and realizes a cylindrical bale contour.
  • the back-up rolls in a quarto scaffold and the back-up rolls or the intermediate rolls in a sexto-scaffolding are equipped with a corrected bale contour.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 The load distribution between back-up rolls and work rolls in a prior art roll bale contour is contrasted with the load distribution between back-up rolls and work rolls in a roll bale contour according to the invention using the example of a four-high stand.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the roller assembly in a four-high stand for rolling a metal strip B, in particular a steel strip with work rolls 1 and back-up rolls 2.
  • the axially displaceable work rolls 1 each have a writeable by a concave-convex function function bale contour 3.
  • the work rolls 1 are supported by support rollers 2, which have a cylindrical bale contour 4 and are supported on the work rolls acting rolling forces.
  • the load distribution between the upper work roll 1 and the upper support roll 2 is in this case the roll bale design in FIG. 2 shown, with the specific force between the rollers is applied over the bale length and on the one hand
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the roller assembly in a four-high stand with work rolls 1 and back-up rollers 2.
  • the axially displaceable work rolls 1 in turn each have a writable by a non-linear function bale contour 3, which complement each bale contours in a certain relative axial position of the work rolls complementary .
  • the two support rollers 2 also have a complementary complementary bale contour 4, which is also formed by a non-linear function, with the bale contours of the adjacent, cooperating work roll 1 and support roller 2 completely complement each other in an unloaded state.
  • the load distribution between the upper work roll 1 and the upper support roll 2 is in this case the roll bale design in FIG.
  • FIG. 5 shows in a schematic arrangement, the roller assembly in a SextoGerüst with work rolls 1, intermediate rolls 5 and back-up rolls 2, the work rolls being supported by the intermediate rolls on the back-up rolls.
  • the work rolls 1 are equipped with a cylindrical bale contour 3.
  • the bale contour of the work rolls can also be oriented to the bale contour of the adjacent intermediate rolls.
  • the intermediate rollers 5 have a bale contour 6 that can be described by a non-linear function.
  • the support rollers 2 have a bale contour 4 that can be described by a sine function.
  • bale contours 4 of the support rollers 2 and the bale contour of the intermediate rollers 5 complement each other completely in the unshifted axial position of the axially adjustable intermediate rollers 5 in the unloaded state.
  • FIG. 6 shows work rolls 1 and back-up rolls 2 in a four-high stand in a schematic representation, wherein the basic structure of the bale contours 3, 4 of the embodiment according to FIG. 3 follows. However, the contour is changed, whereby in the unloaded state only a partial or no supplement of the bale contours of the support roller 2 and the immediately adjacent work roll 1 occurs.
  • bale contours can also be chosen so that the contoured rolls have a positive or negative crown.
  • a sexto scaffold analogous to FIG. 5 possible to choose the contour of the support rollers and the intermediate rollers so that in the unloaded state only a partial complement of the bale contours of the support roller and the immediately adjacent intermediate roller occurs in an unloaded state.
  • bale contours invention Anfasungsfuntionen be used to produce corrected bale contours.
  • FIG. 7 the course of the roll bale contour 7 of a back-up roll or intermediate roll or work roll over the bale length is shown.
  • dash-dotted lines 8, 9 known from the prior art possibilities of chamfering a roller in the end regions are shown to avoid high edge pressures.
  • the chamfering according to the dotted line 8 produces a cylindrical end portion and the chamfering corresponding to the dotted line 9 a cone-shaped end portion of the rollers, in both cases a kink 10 in the contour over the bale length occurs, which forms a circumferential edge on the roller.
  • An improvement in the loading conditions results from a chamfer gradually approaching the bale contour, whereby on both sides a corrected bale contour is formed, which is illustrated by the dotted lines 11 and 12.
  • both curves At the transition point P of the bale contour in the corrected bale contour both curves have the same slope as the tangent t.
  • FIG. 8 shows, for example, the convex course of the roll bale contour 7 described by a nonlinear function on a back-up roll in a quarto backbone or on an intermediate roll or back-up roll in a sexto-scaffold.
  • the course of the chamfering function is shown independently of the course of the roll bale contour 7.
  • the course of the corrected bale contour 11, 12 is illustrated by dotted lines. At the transition point P of the roller contour 7 in the corrected bale contour 11, 12 both curves have the same slope.
  • FIG. 9 shows the analogous conditions in a roll bale contour which expresses a negative roll crown on the roll.
