Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a roller leveling machine with straightening rollers arranged in a cassette changing system, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • roll straightening machines For processing strip steel, which is withdrawn from a coil or also warped by previous processing parts, roll straightening machines are conventionally used. Such a roller leveler is for example from the EP 1 584 384 A1 known.
  • the straightening machine shown there comprises an upper roller mill having a plurality of upper straightening rollers, a lower roller mill having a plurality of lower straightening rollers, at least some of the upper and / or lower straightening rollers being driven.
  • the drive takes place via cardan shafts which are connected at one of their ends with the associated straightening roller and at the other end by means of releasable coupling with a first transfer case are connectable, wherein for driving the first transfer case, a drive device is provided according to EP 1 584 384 A1 consists of a main gear and a drive motor.
  • EP 1 584 384 A1 It is therefore proposed to integrate the transfer case in the removable cassette and replace it with this.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a roller leveler of the type mentioned, in which the above-mentioned disadvantages are avoided and the removal of the removable cassette designed as simple and inexpensive.
  • the straightening machine is characterized in that the second transfer case by displacement transversely to the axial direction of the straightening rollers from a parking position to a working position and vice versa, the second transfer case is arranged on a cross slide, both transverse to the axial direction of the drive shafts as is also displaceable in the axial direction.
  • the cassette change can also be done quickly from the drive side and only leads to low machine changeover times.
  • both or, in the case of more than two transmissions, all transmissions may be arranged on a carriage.
  • the first transfer case by displacement transversely to the axial direction of the straightening rollers from a parking position to a working position and vice versa can be brought.
  • the first transfer case is arranged on a cross slide.
  • the displacement of the transfer case can be horizontal, that is, in a plane that is parallel to the planes of the axes of the straightening rollers.
  • the displacement of one or all of the transfer cases can be vertical, so that the required width for the roller leveler can be reduced, depending on the available space at the production site.
  • the drive transmission driving the transfer case in turn is arranged on a carriage and in the axial direction of the straightening rollers is displaceable.
  • a separate shaft coupling can be provided for coupling the drive motor with the associated transfer case, with which the drive motor can be connected to the transfer case placed in working or drive position for its drive.
  • each transfer case may have its own fixedly coupled drive motor, which then moves along with it in accordance with the movement of the coupled transfer case.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic partial sectional view of a roller leveling machine 11 according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 this Watzenrichtmaschine 11 in view according to arrow II of Fig. 1 shown.
  • the roller leveler 11 has an upper roller mill 13 and a lower roller mill 15 in a per se known embodiment.
  • the upper roller mill 13 has upper straightening rollers 17 and the lower roller mill 15 has lower straightening rollers 19.
  • the upper and lower straightening rollers 17, 19 are arranged in a removable cassette 16, which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the straightening rollers 17 and 19 are as out Fig. 2 can be seen offset from one another.
  • the upper roller mill 13 is vertically movable relative to the lower roller mill 15 in a conventional manner, between the upper straightening rollers 17 and the lower straightening rollers 19, a directional gap 21 for the Masterial to be straightened (not shown) is formed and is adjustable accordingly.
  • upper drive shafts 23 and 19 lower drive shafts 25 are provided for driving the lower straightening rollers.
  • the propeller shafts are coupled via corresponding couplings 27 with the upper and lower straightening rollers 17, 19.
  • the straightening rollers 17 and 19 are mounted on the side of the propeller shafts 23 and 25 in a bearing bar 61 and on the opposite side in a bearing bar 63.
  • the upper and lower drive shafts 23, 25 are mounted in a coupling bearing strip 29 and connected via coupling elements 33, 31 with drive shafts of a first transfer case 35.
  • the propeller shafts 23, 25 have coupling elements 32.
  • a movable removable cassette receiving device 39 On the side facing away from the drive motor 37 side of the roller leveler 11 is a movable removable cassette receiving device 39 which is formed like a table.
  • Reference numeral 43 denotes a bottom foundation on which the entire roller straightening machine device 11 stands.
  • the interchangeable cassette 16 further comprises upper support roller blocks 45 and lower support roller blocks 47, which serve to support the upper and lower straightening rollers 17, 19.
  • the support roller blocks 45 and 47 have, as shown Fig. 2 can be seen in a conventional manner corresponding plurality of intermediate rollers 49 and support rollers 51.
  • a cross slide 53 which serves according to an embodiment of the invention for receiving at least one further, second transfer case 65, as will be described later.
  • FIG. 3 in which the roller leveler 11 is shown during cassette change.
  • the removable cassette 16 ' which has a slightly different construction than the removable cassette 16 requires a different drive than the removable cassette 16.
  • This drive is provided by a second transfer case 65, which is placed in front of the first transfer case.
  • the second transfer case 65 is connected to the first transfer case 35 via one or more connecting shafts 67.
  • the exchangeable cassette 16 ' is placed on the cassette exchanging table 39 and ready to be fed into the roller straightening machine 11.
  • the removable cassette 16 ' comprises a frame 60' on which the lower support roller blocks 47 are mounted.
  • the upper and lower straightening rollers 17 and 19 are mounted in bearing strips 61 'and 63'.
  • a frame 62 ' is provided, which is connected to the bearing strips 61' and 63 'and also serves to support the upper support roller blocks 45.
  • the removable cassette 16 ' also includes the upper and lower drive shafts 23' and 25 'and the bearing bar 29' thereof.
  • the propeller shafts 23 'and 25' are shorter than the propeller shafts 23 and 25 of the removable cartridge 16 of Fig. 1 namely by the measure of the space of the second transfer case 65th
  • Fig. 4 provides a schematic plan view of the transfer case assembly according to Fig. 3 wherein two positions of the second transfer case 65 are shown. With solid lines, the operating position of the second transfer case 65 is shown and with dashed lines whose rest position.
  • the arranged on the cross slide 53 second transfer case is connected in its operating position with the first transfer case 35.
  • the second transfer case 65 is moved from the (dashed) rest position to the position in front of the first transfer case 35 on rails 69 and then moved by moving the cross slide 53 in the direction of first transfer case 35 in its operating position and with this coupled. This is done via coupling elements 67.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show partial views of a further embodiment of the roller leveling machine 11 according to the invention.
  • the change cassette 16 is in the operating position as well as the first transfer case 35 (see. FIG. 6 ).
  • the drive motor 37 is connected in the operating position of the first transfer case 35 directly to this.
  • the second transfer case 65 is at rest.
  • the first transfer case 35 is moved out of its operating position and then can be driven by the transverse movement of the cross slide 53, the second transfer case 65 in front of the drive motor 37 and then after movement of the cross slide 53 in the direction of the drive motor 37 are coupled thereto. Thereafter, the desired and prepared on the cassette exchange table 39 interchangeable cassette is retracted into the machine and connected the propeller shafts according to the second transfer case.
