Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of patent claim 1 for sampling of a hot-rolled by hot rolling metal strip, which is wound by means of winding process into a federal government, and an apparatus for performing the method according to the preamble of claims 2 and 3.
  • Such a method and such a device for example, from the WO 2004/060589 A1 out.
  • a variety of devices for sampling bundled hot-rolled metal strips are known in the art.
  • a sample is taken from the outer coils of the federal government.
  • EP0044923B1 to take a device for sampling of a metal band coiled to a federal government.
  • the outer turn is fed by a Bundöffner and leadership institutions in a vertical position scissors.
  • the disadvantage is here all, that the free length of tape that covers the metal strip from the rear seen in the direction of rotation rear bearing roller to the guide devices or scissors, is very large, so that a sufficient guidance of the free end of the tape is not sure. Especially with thicker and stronger metal bands, this can lead to disturbances or make sampling more difficult.
  • the sample is taken after the strip end of the hot-rolled metal strip has left the "pass-line" of the hot rolling line.
  • the end portion of the hot rolled metal strip from which the sample is taken is the ribbon end.
  • the sample is thus taken "in-line", ie within the hot rolling mill; a wound up by means of the first take place in the hot rolling line winding process finished coil is not removed from the coiler station, moved to another location, and there taken after opening the federal a sample from its end.
  • the hot-rolled metal strip is preferably a steel strip. It is preferably a steel strip with a thickness> 15 mm, and / or high-strength fine-grained structural steel, and / or ultra-high-strength steel.
  • the sampling is carried out after the hot rolling process has been completed and before the winding process is completed, that is, before the finished hot-rolled metal strip is completely wound into a bundle.
  • the winding process in the coiler station is completed when the bundle is ready for removal from the coiler station.
  • the end of the hot rolled metal strip from which the sample was taken is rewound after sampling as before. Due to the procedure according to the invention, it is no longer necessary to open a coiled bundle for the purpose of sampling. The problems associated with such an opening can therefore be avoided. While taking the sample, the bundle is taken from the coiler station held such that no problems arise by opening the already wound part of the federal government problems.
  • Another object of the present application is a device according to claim 2 for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • a production device for hot-rolled metal strip comprising at least one hot rolling line, with at least one coiling station, it also comprises a sampling device for sampling partially wound hot rolled metal strip in the hot rolled metal strip winding reel station, the sampling device for sampling partially wound hot rolled metal strip outside, preferably below, the "pass line" of the hot rolling line.
  • Hot rolled metal strip is manufactured in production equipment comprising one or more hot rolling lines, as well as one or more drivers each having associated coiler stations.
  • the drivers, each with associated coiler stations are arranged in the end of the hot rolling mill. Behind such a driver, the hot-rolled metal strip leaving the driver is wound up into a bundle in the assigned coiling station - also called reeled.
  • a driver which is assigned to a reel station, serves exclusively to deflect the metal strip into the coiler station and to drive it into the reel of the coiler station, and subsequently to ensure a tightly wound so-called warm bundle by means of strip tension. There is no other driver between this driver and the reel station assigned to it.
  • a driver and assigned coiling station can also be referred to as part of a coiler, which additionally also includes an inlet guide upstream of the driver, such as an infeed ruler.
  • Driver and coiler station are mutually assigned; For example, a driver A is assigned to a coiler station A ', and the coiler station A' is assigned to the driver A.
  • the sampling device in the coiling station for sampling partially coiled, hot-rolled metal strip. This allows the sample to be taken from an end portion of the hot rolled metal strip before the wrapping process is complete.
  • the sampling device is arranged outside the "pass line", for example below or above, the hot rolling line.
  • Another object of the present application is a further device according to claim 3 for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • a production device for hot-rolled metal strip comprising at least one hot rolling line, with a coiling station and a driver assigned to this coiling station, it also comprises a sampling device for sampling partially wound hot-rolled metal strip between a lower drive roller of the driver driving this hot-rolled metal strip and the coiling station winding the hot-rolled metal strip, wherein the sampling device for sampling partially wound hot rolled metal strip outside, preferably below, the "pass-line" is arranged.
  • the sampling device for sampling partly coiled hot rolled metal strip between the lower drive roller of the driver, which drives a hot rolled metal strip into the coiling station, and the coiling station which winds up this hot rolled metal strip. This allows the sample to be taken from the end portion of the hot rolled metal strip, the strip end, before the wrapping process is complete.
  • the sampling device is outside the "pass line", for example below or above, arranged the hot rolling mill.
  • the sampling device for sampling partially wound hot rolled metal strip is outside the so-called "pass-line", so the rolling level - ie the upper edge of the rollers of the roller table of the hot rolling mill -, arranged the output metal strip on the hot rolling mill.
  • the reel stations used in hot rolling mills are swinging reels.
  • FIG. 1 shows how a hot rolled steel strip 1, which was driven by a driver 2 with upper drive roller 3 and lower drive roller 4 after the associated hot rolling process via a roller table 5 a hot rolling mill in a winding station 8 associated with the driver 2 in a winding process in the hot rolling mill for the first time a Bund 9 is wound up.
  • a sampling device 10 for sampling the partially rewound hot rolled steel strip 1 available.
  • Sampling may also be different than in FIG. 1 shown closed drawn - a selection of other variants for arrangement of the end of the hot rolled steel strip and sampling device is drawn in dashed lines in FIG. 1 shown.
  • the winding process in the coiling station is not yet completed at the time of sampling, because the federal government is not yet completed for removal from the coiler station.
  • the already wound part of the collar 9 is held by the pressure rollers 12a, 12b, 12c of the coiling station 8, which are each arranged in a pivotable rocker of a swinging reel not shown separately; a popping of the already wound part of the Federal 9 so can not take place.
  • FIG. 1 also shows a further driver 13, which drives another hot rolled steel strip 14 into the coiling station 15 associated with the further driver 13, while the sample 11 is taken from steel strip 1.
  • a further driver 13 which drives another hot rolled steel strip 14 into the coiling station 15 associated with the further driver 13, while the sample 11 is taken from steel strip 1.
  • Sampling device analogous to sampling on the collar 9 a sample can be taken.
  • switches 7a, 7b hot-rolled steel strip can be directed into the coiler stations 8 or 15.
  • FIG. 2 shows one too FIG. 1 largely analog representation, wherein the sampling device for sampling of partially wound hot rolled metal strip between a lower drive roller 4 of the driver 2 and the driver 2 associated coiling station 8 is arranged.
  • inlet guides 17 are shown schematically, which lead the metal strip for entry into the driver.
