Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for winding metal strips on a winding mandrel arranged in a reel shaft, having the features specified in the preambles of the independent claims 1 and 8.
  • a through the DE 195 20 709 A1 become known driver or blowing apparatus has a stationary mounted lower roller and an engageable against this upper roller.
  • the engagable upper roller is mounted in an adjustable by means of pressure medium cylinder pivot frame, which is formed of two opposing wings, which are connected in the region of their common pivot axis by a mounted on both sides in the driver frame base.
  • the wings of this driver can be adjusted by pressure medium cylinders which can be acted upon separately, with the base interconnecting the wings being designed as a torsion spring.
  • a measuring roll for measuring the flatness of a tensioned rolled strip in a hot strip mill is known.
  • One or more of these measuring rollers, which are pressed against the rolled strip from below, may be between the rolling stands of the finishing train and / or in the rolling direction behind the last rolling stand of the finishing train and / or in front of a blowing apparatus for a reel and / or between the blowing apparatus and the reel to be ordered.
  • the obtained measured value can be used to pivot the blowing apparatus and in this way the band run can be regulated during winding onto the reel or winding mandrel.
  • the flatness measuring roller is arranged here in the reel shaft between the driver and the mandrel and there movable and stationary tape guides.
  • the flatness measuring roll is moved from a working position in which the hot-rolled strip while maintaining an approximately constant angle of wrap around the flatness measuring roll is guided, moved in a lowered position in which it is protected in the reel shaft by a swivel tape guide.
  • One from the EP 0 344 583 Known device for measuring the flatness of rolled metal bands is formed in several parts and has a first lever arm mounted in a pivot point, at the front end of which a second lever arm is pivotally mounted, which carries a measuring roller at the front. Between the two lever arms a force measuring means is arranged.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned so that an improved tensile measurement of a metal strip in the reel shaft can be achieved, in particular to allow for influencing the driver through this to be transmitted Bandzugdifferenz, so that an edge-straight metal collar can be reached.
  • the wedge portion of the strip tension distribution over the width of the metal strip is measured, optionally and optionally also superimposed at the same time the position of the edges of the metal strip.
  • the strip tension measuring device permanently measures the strip tension distribution or the strip unevenness.
  • the data obtained are processed in an evaluation computer and provided with a corresponding pivot setpoint to the driver role automation or -regel sensible sent.
  • the Bandzugmess recognized is controlled immediately after generation of the strip tension between the driver and the mandrel pivoted under the metal strip, for example by acting on at least one end of the pivot axis of the Bandzugmess issued hydraulic cylinder.
  • the required strip tension is usually achieved after two to three turns of the winding mandrel.
  • the Bandzugmess As long as there is no metal strip between driver and mandrel, i. in the initial state, the Bandzugmess responded is pivoted away. As soon as the tape tip has passed the driver gap and the tape tension has been built up, the hydraulically controlled pivoting takes place against the underside of the metal belt.
  • the strip tension measuring device generates an angle of wrap with a roller immersed in the metal strip. This ensures the transmission of force from the metal strip to the measuring roller and from there to the force meter integrated in the strip tension measuring device.
  • the strip tension measuring device is preferably pivoted into the metal strip up to a certain fixed position that advantageously detects the entire winding diameter, wherein the metal strip experiences a deflection similar to the looper operation in the finishing line, an even optimum wrap angle at the leading end can also be achieved at the strip end Create roller or measuring roller of the strip tension measuring device.
  • the measuring roller and preferably also the counter-roller, is pre-accelerated prior to pivoting to the speed of the metal strip. Since the roller is pivoted onto the belt during the winding process, pre-accelerating prevents damage to the metal strip due to a later-required acceleration process.
  • the drive can be done mechanically and / or electrically and / or hydraulically.
  • An apparatus for solving the problem underlying the invention is inventively characterized in that the Bandzugmess issued is associated with a pivotable from above to the metal strip counter-roller, which is mounted in the front, the upper drive roller end facing the band switch. As a result, the formation of a wrap-around angle that is large enough to measure the difference in force can be achieved.
  • the Bandzugmess which consists of a rear in a fulcrum on the driver arm mounted first lever arm and a front in the first lever arm articulated second lever arm having a roller at its front end, wherein between the first lever arm and the second lever arm, a force measuring means ,
  • a force measuring means For example, pressure transducer such as pressure cells, is arranged, pivoted into the metal strip and immersed in this with its leading measuring roller to form a wrap angle, a force is applied via the roller, which acts on the front, second lever arm in a clockwise direction.
  • the forces resulting from the tape tension on the role are in this way very low friction forwarded to the integrated in the first, mounted on the driver frame lever pressure sensor and sent to the driver control, which corrects for example on the pivoting of the upper drive roller tape.
  • Coiler 1 shown consists of a driver 2, which is followed by a reel shaft 3 arranged at its end winding mandrel 4.
  • a driver frame 5 In the driver frame 5 are an upper and a lower drive roller 6, 7 and mounted on a pivot axis 8 with its pivot point 9 just behind the lower drive roller 7 a pivotable Bandzugmess owned 10.
  • the strip tension measuring device 10 adjoins the winding mandrel 4 toward a guide table 11, which also covers the space there for the strip tension measuring device 10 with a table section brought up to the lower drive roller 7.
  • the guide table 11 passes from a non-illustrated finishing line via a roller table 12 incoming and the drive rollers 6, 7 through the drive gap formed by these driven metal strip 13 to the winding mandrel 4, on which the metal strip 13 to a finished collar or winding coil 14, as in Fig. 2 indicated with its largest collar diameter, is reeled.
  • the winding mandrel 4 are distributed over its circumference a plurality of pressure rollers 15 assigned.
  • the reel shaft 3 of a in the in Fig. 1 shown starting position reaching to the periphery of the upper drive roller 6, pivotable by means of an adjusting cylinder 16 band switch 17 and one of this to above the winding mandrel 4, separated by a swing cylinder 18 adjustable shaft flap 19.
  • the belt tension measuring device 10 which is mounted pivotably about the pivot axis 8 in the pivot point 9 in the drive frame 5, is pivoted by a hydraulic cylinder 21 having an associated position transmitter 20 with its lower end attached to the driver frame 5 (cf. Fig. 3 ).
  • the strip tension measuring device 10 is, as closer to 4 to 6 can be taken from a first, with its rear end mounted on the pivot axis 8 lever arm 10a and at its front end on a pivot axis 22 articulated second lever arm 10b.
  • a leading roller or measuring roller 23 is mounted in front and is preferably drivable (not shown).
  • a force measuring means 24, formed in the form of pressure measuring cells, is arranged as part of the first lever arm 10a.
  • the two lever arms 10a, 10b are held together by a holding means 25 allowing a slight movement clearance to the front, second lever arm 10b.
  • the Bandzugmess worn 10 is in a lowermost, pivoted position, as in the Fig. 1 and 4 shown.
  • the Bandzugmess recognized 10 hydraulically controlled by means of the hydraulic cylinder 21 against the underside of the metal strip 13 pivoted positionally accurate.
  • the applied via the roller 23 of the metal strip 13 force acts on the lever arm 10b in a clockwise direction and thus the force measuring means 24 of the first, rear lever arm 10a.
  • the force measuring means permanently measure the strip tension distribution or the band unevenness.
  • the data obtained are evaluated and sent to a controller of the driver 2. This can be controlled as a result of the measurement, e.g. by pivoting the upper and / or lower drive roller 6, 7 or parallel pivoting of both rollers or by specifying different closing forces on the drive and operating side that on the winding mandrel 4 a straight-edge collar 14 may arise.
