Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roll stand with a number of rolls and with an inlet guide and / or a discharge guide, which is mounted in the rolling direction in front of or behind the nip on the roll stand and are in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rolls and perpendicular to the rolling direction, in particular in the vertical direction, is arranged adjustable or are, wherein the inlet guide and / or the outlet guide on the rolling mill defining fasteners have a predetermined breaking point and wherein the fastening means comprise at least one expansion screw.
  • Such a rolling mill is from the DE 21 29 337 41 known.
  • a similar solution shows the DE 16 02 172 A1 ,
  • the DE 101 16 988 A1 discloses a rolling stand with means for raising or lowering the intermediate roll or trolley rails during roll change.
  • the roller rails are arranged on a guide, along which they can be moved in the vertical direction.
  • a similar solution is from the DE 1 940 414 A1 known.
  • the on rolling stands arranged inlet and outlet guides which are arranged adjustable on the frame in the vertical direction, must absorb operating forces in the horizontal direction. This is due to the purpose of the guides to guide the material to be rolled into the nip.
  • the inlet and outlet guides on an aligned at an acute angle to the rolling direction guide surface.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing a generic rolling stand so that the degree of damage is reduced in case of accident. This is to ensure that in an undesirable collision of the rolling stock with the inlet and outlet guides, no significant damage occurs.
  • the solution of this object by the invention is characterized in that the fastening means comprise at least two retaining strips extending in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rolls and perpendicular to the rolling direction, in particular in the vertical direction, and which penetrates from the at least one expansion screw and from this are tense.
  • the predetermined breaking point can be formed as introduced into the expansion screw constriction.
  • the axis of the at least one expansion screw preferably has in the rolling direction.
  • At least two of the retaining strips seen in the rolling direction abut bearing surfaces of a support member which is fixedly disposed on the rolling stand. Furthermore, it is advantageous if between two retaining strips, a third retaining strip is arranged, which holds the two retaining strips at a distance.
  • connection between the or outlet guide and at least one of the retaining strips via a feather which extends partially in the retaining strip and partially in the inlet and outlet guide in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rolls and perpendicular to the rolling direction, in particular in the vertical direction.
  • the inlet and outlet guides take in the embodiment of the invention in a collision no undue damage.
  • longer downtimes of the rolling mill can be avoided, as they are typical today in the accident.
  • collision-related repair costs are significantly reduced.
  • Fig. 1 is a rolling mill 1 to see a rolling mill, which is constructed in a widely known manner.
  • the (working) rollers 2, 3 of the roll stand are shown in different vertical positions, ie with different rolling gap 6 between the rollers 2, 3.
  • the axes 7 of the rollers 2, 3 are perpendicular to the plane.
  • In the rolling direction W before and behind the rollers 2, 3 are in a conventional manner an inlet guide 4 and an outlet guide 5.
  • the two guides 4, 5 can be adjusted in the direction of the vertical V.
  • FIG. 1 Corresponding top view according to the section DD after Fig. 1 is in Fig. 2 to see.
  • the outlet guide 4, 5 can be seen again and their guides on the sides to make them adjustable or movable in the direction of the vertical V.
  • a support member 16 is arranged in each case, which is formed as an elongated beam extending in the vertical direction V.
  • these support elements 16 are U-shaped comprising a plurality of retaining strips, which are connected to the guide 4, 5.
  • FIG. 3 Construction details are in Fig. 3 to see.
  • the outlet guide 5 is with the above in Fig. 3 Attached arrangement shown mounted on the rolling stand, wherein a displacement of the guide 5 in the vertical direction V is made possible.
  • the determination of the outlet guide 5 on the roll stand 1 is carried out by a number of fasteners 8. These are - s. this in the synopsis, the detailed sectional views in the FIGS. 4 to 6 -
  • the fastening means 8 comprise a screw whose axis 10 extends in the rolling direction W.
  • the screw passes through three retaining strips 11, 12 and 13, which together form a U-shaped recess in which the carrier element 18 is arranged.
  • the retaining strip 11 (s. FIGS. 4 to 6 ) rests against a bearing surface 14 of the carrier element 16. Accordingly, the holding element 12 is located on an opposite support surface 15 on the carrier element 16.
  • the three retaining strips 11, 12, 13 together with the support member 16 is a linear guide for the outlet guide 5 for their movement in the vertical direction V.
  • bearing elements 17 between the retaining strips 11, 12 and the support element 16 is positioned.
  • bearing elements 17 are also provided between the retaining strips 11 and 12 and the roll stand 1, to ensure on all sides a low-wear storage.
  • a fixed connection between the outlet guide 5 and the retaining strip 13 is presently produced by a feather key 18, which is arranged both in a groove in the outlet guide 5 and in a groove in the retaining strip 13 (s. FIGS. 4 and 5 ).
  • the compound itself is made by screws, which connect the retaining strip 13 with the outlet guide 5 (s. Fig. 6 ).
  • the composite of retaining strips 11, 12, 13 and the support member 16 is made, and the tightening torque of the screws defines the bias of the storage.
  • the inlet guide 4 and the outlet guide 5 on the rolling stand 1 fixing fastener 8 have a predetermined breaking point 9.
  • the screws are designed as expansion screws, ie have a constriction 9, which represent a weakening of the cross section of the screw shaft. If there is an accident, ie abuts a slab or the like to the inlet or outlet guide 4, 5, the shock of the accident on the expansion bolts of the guide 4, 5 transmitted to the rolling mill 1.
  • the expansion bolts then represent predetermined breaking points, ie the bolt shank ruptures due to the impact. As a result, the form-fitting is canceled, with the guides 4, 5 are held on the rolling stand 1 in the mounted state.
  • constriction 9 By appropriate dimensioning of the constriction 9 can ensure that during normal operation, the forces on the guides 4, 5 are transmitted to the rolling mill 1, but that in the event of an accident tearing off of the screws takes place, so that it prevents the entire guide assembly and the rolling mill 1 itself is damaged by the accident.
  • the retaining strips 11, 12, 13 are simple and can be manufactured inexpensively. An exchange is possible if necessary in a simple manner.
