Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rolling mill for rolling strip-shaped rolling stock with two or three reels and at least one rolling stand between the two reels and with associated federal transport means for feeding or removing bundles of rolling stock to respective federal transfer stations and with a transverse transport means for federal transport between the two federal transfer stations ,
  • Such a rolling mill is from the EP 0 618 018 B1 known.
  • Known rolling mills are equipped with a separate uncoiler and with at least one other reel, usually with two reels, which serve as reversing reels. All incoming bundles are given up on the one uncoiler. The outgoing bundles are picked up by another reel, or by both other reels (take-up reel). There are also rolling mills in which incoming bundles are placed on a reel and also picked up by this. This reel is an unwinding and rewinding reel. A reel for unwinding and winding is called a reserve reel.
  • the outgoing bundles are picked up by one of the two take-up reels each by means of a federal transport car.
  • Each of the two rewinder is equipped with its own removal and discharge device; This means that the removal and discharge devices of the two take-up reels are separated.
  • this object is achieved in a rolling mill of the type mentioned above, that for the Bundabtransport common removal and outfeed devices are arranged downstream.
  • a transverse transport means can transport the bundles between common transport, removal, entry and exit facilities.
  • the transport logistics according to the invention is equipped with a transverse transport means, in particular with a transverse carriage.
  • the transverse trolley serves to transport the bundles between a first federal transport means, in particular a federal transport car, which reciprocates between one of the two reversing and the transverse car, and a federal transport means downstream of the transverse transport car. It may be a separate federal transport means, or this function may, however, also take a federal transport means of the reel.
  • the transverse transport means downstream of the transverse transport vehicle serves as a common and single federal transport means, in particular as a federal transport carriage, between the transverse carriage and a common outlet device.
  • the outlet device is, for example, a federal scale, a bundle binding machine, a federal marking machine, a federal inspection, etc.
  • the use of the correspondingly flexibly movable transverse transport means allows federal transporting means and entry / exit devices to be saved.
  • the transfer station can be located anywhere within the travel range be arranged of the transverse carriage. However, the transfer station is advantageously arranged at the point where the bundle is transferred from a reel conveyor downstream of the reels to the transverse transport means.
  • the transverse transport goes to the unwinding reel.
  • the transverse transport means can be moved both between the federal transport means assigned to the reversing reels and between one of these federal transport means and the federal transport means assigned to the uncoiling reel. This creates additional flexibility of the rolling mill by bundles can be fed to the reversing stands from both sides, transported away from them and transported to the reel-off.
  • the transverse transport means is followed by a single common federal transport means through which transport the bundles away from the transverse transport means or can be transported to this.
  • the common federal transport means also transports such bundles, which must be transported to the decoiler or be transported away from this.
  • the use of a single common federal transport means has the advantage that the reversing are associated with common outlet facilities, in particular a balance, a waistband binding machine, a federal marking machine and the like.
  • the flexibility of the system is further increased if at least one rotating device for rotating the coils by 180 ° depending on the current or the selected rolling direction of the rolling mill and the arrangement of the coils in the federal outlet is available.
  • the at least one rotating device can advantageously be integrated in the transverse carriage and / or in at least one of the federal transport means, in particular in the common federal transport means.
  • the common federal transport means is connected in the extension of one of the two reversing reels associated federal transport means or at any position with respect to the travel of the transverse transport means.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that the common federal transport means can be moved in the axial direction of the reversing reel or perpendicular to the axial direction of the reversing reel.
  • common coil transporting means there are a plurality of embodiments of the common coil transporting means; this is designed, for example, as a lifting beam or as a federal transport car.
  • transverse transport means itself is designed and functions as a federal transfer station for receiving bundles directly, this has the advantage that the federal transfer station can be dispensed with as an independent stationary immobile device. The bundles are then placed directly on the cross-transport means or taken up by the federal transport means and need not be stored on the stationary immovable federal transfer station.
  • the rolling mill according to the invention comprises two or three reels, d. H. Reels 1, 5 and 20.
  • Reel 1 can be used as a rewinder.
  • Reel 5 and 20 can be used as Ab-, Stuf-, reverse reel.
  • the rolling stands 8, 13 can be operated both in one-way and reversing. They each comprise work rolls 10 and 11 or 15, 16 and support rolls 9 and 12 or 14 and 17.
  • the rolling stands 8, 13 may comprise further rolls, not shown here, for example intermediate rolls.
  • Tape guide rollers may be located between the two reversing stands, for example hold-down rollers 8, 9 and tape tension measuring rollers.
  • the federal government can be passed from the transverse carriage 27 via the transfer station 24 to a common federal transport means 25. From this, the rolled collar is further promoted to the reels 5, 20 common outlet device or Bundablage 26.
  • the reel 1 is associated with a transport path with a federal transport car 22, the back and forth between the reel 1 and a discharge or a dispenser 21.
  • the transport path of the transverse carriage 27 may be extended by a transfer station 30 to take over or deliver bundles of the reel 1 or the outlet or dispensing device or a bundle shelf 21. By the transfer station 30 thus the flexibility of the system is further increased.
  • Trained in particular as a federal transport car waistband transport means 25 can approach a Bundablage 26 or more other Bundablagen.
  • the federal transport carriage 25 can be arranged opposite the reversing reel 5 or opposite the reversing reel 20 or in any desired position relative to the travel path of the transverse trolley 27.
  • the federal transport carriage 25 can move in the axial direction of the reel 1 and the Reversierhaspeln 5, 20; However, it can also be moved perpendicular to the axial direction of the Reversierhaspeln 5, 20. This means that, assuming appropriate rotation, the federal transport car 25 can also take over the function of the transverse carriage 27 with, if the transport capacity of the federal transport car 25 in this case is sufficient for the number of bundles to be transported.
  • the federal transport car 25 can be replaced by one of the federal transport cars 23, 28.
  • this function can also be implemented on one of the federal transport carriages 22, 23, 28 and / or 25.
  • each of the federal transport car 22, 23, 28, the transverse carriage 27 and in particular the common federal transport car 25 be designed so that he can carry several Bundablagen simultaneously.
