Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for guiding a metal strip in the environment of a reel device and a method for its operation.
  • Coiler devices and devices for guiding a metal strip in their environment are in the prior art, for example from the patent DE 28 48 044 C2 basically known.
  • a device comprises a pivoting arm, which is rotatably mounted at a first end about a first axis of rotation and at a second end opposite the first end carries a transfer table.
  • a chisel is attached to the transfer table.
  • An actuator is provided for pivoting the swing frame together with the transfer table and the bit about the first axis of rotation.
  • the invention has the object, a device for guiding a metal strip in the environment of a reel device and a method for operating such a device to the effect that the device is so far universal use, as that it is movable in more operating states , as is possible in the known device of the prior art.
  • a support frame is further provided with a first end to which the support frame is rotatably mounted about a second axis of rotation relative to a mainland and carries a second transfer table and rotatably supported at a second end to which of the support frame about the first axis of rotation and is connected to the first end of the pivoting frame and that a second actuator is provided, which on the The mainland and the support frame are each rotatably mounted for pivoting the support frame about the second axis of rotation.
  • the desired universal applicability is realized.
  • the claimed device can now be used not only to open different sized coils on a reel and driven into a parking position, but it can also serve to bridge a reel device, in particular a reversing reel by passing a metal strip on this reel device, and they can also serve to insert the metal strip in a belt winder.
  • all the mentioned operating states can be realized by simple adaptation of traditionally used hydraulic and electrical systems or controls.
  • the claimed device has the advantage that it requires only very little space in the transport direction of the tape, especially in the parking position.
  • This compact design is particularly advantageous when using the claimed device on the left and right side of a Reversiergerüstes, because in such a use, the distances between the Reversierhaspel recognizeden and the Reversierwalzgerüst can be minimized. The smaller these distances, the smaller is the part of the metal strip which has to be cut off as scrap at the end of a reversing rolling process.
  • Both the pivot frame and the support frame are advantageously formed U-shaped. They each consist of a crosspiece in the form of a transfer table which extends transversely to the transport direction of the tape and two parallel legs arranged on both sides and transversely to the transfer tables.
  • the device For realizing an operating position "clamping slot", the device preferably has a slide, which is linearly displaceable relative to a first transfer table, which is supported by the pivoting frame.
  • the Carriage carries an opening chisel, hereinafter also referred to as a chisel, and preferably a third transfer table which is flush with the surface of the chisel.
  • a third actuator of the chisel with the third transfer table which preferably comb-like merges into the first transfer table or engages to be driven in the immediate vicinity of a clamping slot on the dome of the coiler to guide the metal strip there.
  • the actuators are preferably designed in the form of hydraulic cylinders.
  • the device preferably has a deflecting roller rotatably mounted about the second axis of rotation for deflecting the metal strip when it is unwound from the coiling device or unwound onto the coiling device.
  • the above object is further achieved by a method for operating the device according to the invention.
  • This method provides that the device can be driven either in one of the operating positions clamping slot, parking position, belt transfer, waistband opening or belt winder.
  • the advantage of this method lies in the above-mentioned great universal applicability of the corresponding device.
  • FIG. 1 shows the device 100 according to the invention in a side view in an operating position "clamping slot drive”.
  • the device 100 is arranged laterally next to a reeling device 300 and serves for introducing a metal strip 200, which originates from a deflection roller 195, into a clamping slot 322 on a dome 320 of the reeling device 300.
  • the device comprises a support frame 160, which moves around with its first end a second axis of rotation D2 is rotatably mounted relative to a mainland 400.
  • the support frame 160 carries a second transfer table 120.
  • the support frame is rotatably connected to a pivot frame 140 about a first axis of rotation D1.
  • a second actuator 170 which is rotatably mounted respectively on the mainland 400 and on the support frame 160, the support frame is pivotally mounted about the axis of rotation D2.
  • the support frame carries the swing frame 140 at its first end. At the second end of the swing frame, which is opposite the first end of the swing frame, the swing frame carries a first transfer table 110.
  • the swing frame is pivotable together with the transfer table by means of a first actuator 150 about the first axis of rotation D1.
  • the device comprises a carriage which is mounted displaceably relative to the pivoting frame 140.
  • the carriage includes a bit 192, and preferably also a third transfer table 130 terminating flush with the surface of the bit.
  • the displacement of the carriage relative to the swing frame is linear and preferably such that the surfaces of the second and third transfer table 120, 130 at each shift position remain lying in one plane.
  • At least one of the actuators 150, 170 or 180 is in the form of a hydraulic cylinder.
  • FIG. 2 shows the device according to the invention in the operating position "parking position".
  • the carriage 190 is retracted and the swing frame 140 is folded with the first transfer table and the carriage, so that the device according to the invention has only a minimum space requirement in the horizontal direction, ie in the transport direction of the metal strip 200.
  • the device is preferably folded in such a way that, seen in the plane of the drawing, it is mounted completely outside a metal collar 200 wound on the reel device-indicated by the dot-dashed circular line.
  • the parking position has the advantage that it a trouble moving out of the wound metal coil from the Line, that is transverse to the transport direction allows. In the parking position, the device according to the invention thus clears the way.
  • FIG. 3 shows the device according to the invention in an operating position "transfer belt". This operating position serves to ensure that metal strip 200 safely over z. B. the reel 300 or a wound coil 500 pass.
  • the device is controlled by the actuators 150, 170, 180 such that the first, second and / or third transfer table securely support the metal strip 200 when sliding over the metal collar 500.
  • FIG. 4 shows the device according to the invention in the operating position "open collar".
  • the bit 192 is slid under a free metal band end of the collar 500 while simultaneously rotating the collar so that the metal band unwinds and slides over the bit and the first, second, and third transfer tables in the direction of the arrow.
  • the device according to the invention is preferably suitable for very different waist sizes, ie waistband diameter, because the chisel tip with the aid of the actuators 150, 170, 180 can be positioned accordingly.
  • FIG. 5 shows the use of the inventive device for inserting the metal strip 200 in the arrow direction in a belt winder 600 as an alternative to insertion into a clamping slot.
  • all said five operating positions namely parking position, clamping slot, transfer belt, open collar and belt winder can be adjusted by suitable control of the three actuators 150, 170 and 180, respectively.
  • FIG. 6 shows an application for two identical inventive devices 100-r and 100-I in conjunction with a Reversiergerüst 700.
  • the reversing reels 300-r, 300-I are each assigned a device 100-r, 100-I according to the invention for guiding the metal strip 200.
  • the metal strip 200 is first unwound from the unwinding device 300-A and introduced into the reversing stand 700.
  • the metal strip must be passed over the left Reversierschaspel Rhein 300-I;
  • the left-hand device 100-I according to the invention is moved into the position "transfer belt”.
  • the metal strip 200 is then wound up by the right reversing reel device 300-r;
  • the right-hand device 100-r according to the invention advantageously drives firstly into the position "clamping slot” or, if the right reversing-shearing device 300-r is designed as a belt winder, into the position "belt winder".
  • the metal strip 200 is wound on the right Reversierschaspel issued 300-r only until the left end of the metal strip 200 is at the level of the left Reversierschaspel worn 300-I. Then, the direction of rotation of the left and right reversing reels 300-I, 300-r is reversed, e.g. both counterclockwise, and the right inventive device 100-r then goes into the "park position” and the left device 100-I then moves to the "clamp slot” or "belt winder” position around the left end of the metal belt 200 clamp the left reversing coiler 300-I. Thereafter, the device 100-I moves to the parking position.
  • the metal strip 200 remains with its two ends on the left and right Reversierschaspel prepared 300-I, 300-r clamped and the two devices 100-I and 1 00-R each remain in park position.
  • the two devices 100-I and 100-r remain in "park position" even if, after the end of the reversing operation, the finished-rolled coil is removed from the line, because only in the parking position do the devices block 100-r or 100-r. I'm not a drag out of the coiled coil out of the line.
  • FIG. 12 clearly shows the advantages when each individual one of the devices 100-I, 100-r according to the invention is designed to be able to assume the greatest possible number of different operating states.
