Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an industrial plant and method relating, in the technical field of metal strip rolling mills, in particular of the tandem type with continuous winding station, having at the end of rolling an inspection table of the rolled product and in process of winding.
  • a problem that arises is to detect as soon as possible in the manufacturing process the defects that may be unacceptable for the rolled strip, such as surface defects, geometry, thickness, flatness, etc.
  • a separate inspection of the line is not possible because it is disadvantageous from the point of view of the loss of time and therefore from the economic point of view.
  • the document JP 2000 254725 discloses a cold rolling plant comprising, mounted in this order on the line, a cold rolling mill, a movable shear which cuts the continuous steel strip produced by the rolling mill, a double mandrel tension winding apparatus, Carousel roller type, which rolls the steel strip continuously.
  • the carousel winder is positioned downstream and below the cold rolling line and a surface inspection apparatus which inspects the surface of the steel strip, is located downstream on an extension of the line of pass that passes over the carousel coiler.
  • the installation is provided with switching means for directing the band towards the reel to carousel or alternatively to the surface inspection apparatus, positioned outside the moving shear.
  • the document EP 1 581 355 discloses a method for the successive rolling and winding of a metal strip, in particular a steel strip, on a winding mandrel rotated and capable of being spaced, in which the metal strip is inspected in longitudinal portions with respect to rolling anomalies.
  • the strip samples are produced by a drum shear located after the last rolling stand, guided and stopped "in line" inside the rolling line above, of a winding station located below the rolling line, on an inspection table, for a free visual inspection.
  • the winding station is therefore located under the plane of the inspection table, the latter being arranged "in line" with the rolling line.
  • the steel strip emerging from the last rolling stand can be guided so that a baffle unit, arranged at the entrance of the winding station, can deflect the metal strip towards a winding mandrel.
  • the inspection table is provided with gripping means that allow to return the tape samples to also inspect the other side.
  • the tape samples are routed to a shear which cuts them into pieces before gravity collection in a bin or waste car.
  • the present invention aims to enable the realization of a quick and inexpensive inspection of rolled metal strips in a rolling plant operating continuously, including the winding station.
  • the invention also aims to achieve a simple and reliable installation to perform this inspection.
  • the invention aims to provide a facility that does not have a switch for directing the band either to the winding carousel or to the inspection table.
  • a second aspect of the present invention relates to an in-line winding and inspection installation of a continuously rolled metal strip, comprising, downstream of the last rolling stand, a first shear, a winding station on at least one mandrel and an inspection table for detecting defects on at least one side of the strip, characterized in that the winding station and the inspection table are in line and in that the installation further comprises a table d introduction placed in line between the winding station and the inspection table, associated with a second shear, which makes it possible to produce a sample of determined length, once the strip has been cut by the first shear, pivoted around the mandrel axis as it fell on the infeed table and advanced over the infeed table and inspection table.
  • the winding station is a carousel station.
  • the installation according to the invention comprises, at the level of the inspection table, gripping means grippers which allow to return the sample, to inspect the other side.
  • the figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the carousel winding station coupled with an inspection table according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the figure 2 represents a longitudinal sectional view of the carousel winding station, according to another section, parallel to that of the figure 1 .
  • a preferred embodiment of the installation according to the invention is represented on the figure 1 .
  • the strip of the so-called "No. 1" coil 1 (on the right and upper mandrel 10) is cut at the first shear 4, which generates a band tail.
  • the so-called "No. 2" coil 2 begins to be wound on the mandrel left and lower 20. Once a few turns are wound, the belt winder 5 used for priming the winding of the strip is removed . The winding speed increases.
  • the last turn constituting the tail of the strip, pivots around the axis of the mandrel and "falls" on the infeed table 6.
  • the tail of the spool 1 advances by Y meters on the introduction table 6 and the inspection table 8.
  • the tape tail of the coil 1 is then cut with the shears 7 in order to obtain a sample.
  • the nose-mandrel support 9, supporting the right mandrel 10, is evacuated.
  • the reel 1 is then rewound at the end of the band that has been cut off at the sample level.
  • the "No. 1" coil 1 is then removed from the right mandrel 10 and discharged (with means not shown, known to those skilled in the art).
  • the cut sample advances on the inspection table 8 and the sample is inspected on a first face.
  • the ends of the sample are pinched by pinching means 8 ', 8 "and the sample is returned (not shown)
  • the other side of the sample is inspected
  • the ends of the sample are" peeled off "
  • the sample advances on the evacuation table 12.
  • the nose-mandrel support 11, supporting the left mandrel 20, is evacuated and the carousel 3 rotates 180 ° in the direction of clockwise.
  • the nose-mandrel support 9 moves into position to support the new mandrel of the right and upper 10.
  • the winding of the new coil "No. 2" 1 'therefore continues on the new mandrel right and upper 10 (which is the old chuck left before rotation).
  • the nose-mandrel support 11 moves into position to support the new left and lower mandrel 20.
  • the belt winder 5 used for priming the winding of the band is put in the operating position.
  • the running speed of the web and the speed of rotation of the right and upper mandrel 10 are decreased.
  • the "No. 3" coil 2 ' is wound on the left and lower mandrel 10. Once a few turns are wound, the belt winder 5 is evacuated. The winding speed increases.
  • the last turn, constituting the tail of tape falls on the introduction table 6.
  • the tape tail of the coil 1' advance Y meters.
  • the tape tail of the coil 1 is cut with the shear 7 to obtain a sample which has been inspected as described above.
  • the previous sample left the inspection table 8. At the end of the discharge table 12, the previous sample is cut into pieces about 1 meter long at the shear 13, from where they are directed to the waste bin 14.
