Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for removing exhaust air from the environment of a metal strip. Moreover, the device relates to a rolling train with at least two rolling mills for rolling the metal strip with the device according to the invention.
- a container with a liquid for dip coating a workpiece Above the container, a fan is arranged on one side for generating an air flow for conveying exhaust air in the form of air-foreign substances, which rise from the bath, in a blowing direction.
- the blowing direction is directed across the bath to the other side of the industrial bath container, where a suction device is arranged to suck and discharge the air flow generated by the blower with the exhaust air.
- the blowing direction is aligned transversely to a conveying direction of a workpiece to be coated, when it is immersed in the container or is conveyed out of this after its coating.
- German patent DE 199 16 233 C1 discloses a device for discharging exhaust air from the environment of a rolling stand for rolling, in particular for cold rolling of metal strip.
- the mill stand is completely enclosed with an air inlet and an air outlet opening.
- a fan is provided for generating an air flow in one direction with a component transverse to the conveying direction of the metal strip. Another component of the direction of movement of the air flow may be directed perpendicular to the plane of the metal strip, so that the air flow as a whole extends obliquely to the metal strip.
- a suction device is provided, which faces the fan in the direction of the air flow, for sucking and discharging the blower generated air flow together with exhaust air in the vicinity of the metal strip, which is entrained by the air flow.
- the invention has the object of developing a known device for the removal of exhaust air from the environment of a metal strip to the effect that the amount of exhaust air and thus the energy consumption in the operation of such a device, in particular between two rolling stands in a rolling mill, is reduced.
- This object is solved by the subject matter of claim 1.
- the blower is designed as at least one air quantity booster; a sensor device is provided for measuring at which speed the metal belt moves; and a control device is provided for adjusting the delivery rate of the air quantity booster and the suction device as a function of the measured speed of the metal strip.
- the air flow amplifier generates a directed air flow transversely to the conveying direction of the metal strip.
- a power supply here serves a small volume of compressed compressed air, which is converted in the air quantity booster together with the ambient air into a high volume, but low pressure air flow.
- the outflow volume is infinitely variable by regulation of the inlet pressure.
- a suction device is provided, the exhaust air flange for extracting the exhaust air from the rolling stand is opposite the air flow amplifiers. The functionality is given especially in semi-open and open systems. A complete enclosure of the rolling stand is not required.
- the air quantity booster and the suction device both of which have a high consumption of electrical energy, are to be activated only when metal strip is in fact at a speed between them Air quantity amplifiers and the suction device is conveyed, which is greater than a predetermined speed threshold. Only then the air quantity booster and the suction device are activated to ensure removal of the exhaust air and the clearest possible view of the metal strip. On the other hand, during periods of inactivity, when no metal strip is passed between the air flow amplifiers and the exhaust or when the speed of the metal strip is below the threshold, the air flow amplifiers and the exhaust are shut off to reduce the cost of their energy consumption.
- the claimed device reduces the amount of exhaust air.
- the exhaust device downstream of an exhaust air treatment plant for cleaning the exhaust sucked by the exhaust, d. H. for filtering out air-free substances from the exhaust air In the process chain downstream further exhaust treatment plants can then be dimensioned correspondingly smaller and cheaper.
- existing rolling mills can be easily and inexpensively retrofitted with the claimed invention.
- existing systems with divided filter units (50% / 50% volume flow distribution) can be operated continuously after conversion by possible switching and the maintenance layers no longer stop.
- FIG. 1 shows the device according to the invention and the invention
- Figure 2 shows the device according to the invention in a cross section transverse to the transport direction
- Figure 3 shows the device according to the invention in a cross section along the
- FIG. 1 shows the device 100 according to the invention for removing exhaust air from the surroundings of a metal strip 200, installed between a first rolling stand 310 and a second rolling stand 320 of a rolling mill for rolling, preferably for cold rolling of the metal strip 200.
- the device comprises according to the example according to FIG a plurality of air quantity amplifiers 1 10, which are arranged opposite to the suction device.
- the fans each generate an air flow, shown in the figures 1 and 2 by the dashed lines, in a blowing direction BR transverse to the transport direction WR of the metal strip 200.
- the generated air stream breaks possibly located in the vicinity of the metal strip exhaust air in the direction of blowing direction BR.
- Seen in the direction of blowing BR is located on the air flow amplifiers 1 10 opposite side of the conveyor line for the metal strip, a suction device 120 for sucking and discharging the air flow generated by the air flow amplifiers with the exhaust air.
- the suction device 120 is preferably downstream of an exhaust air treatment system 150 for cleaning the exhaust air sucked by the suction device.
- the device according to FIG. 1 furthermore has a sensor device 130 on the input side of the first roll stand 310 for detecting whether and at what speed the metal strip 200 is being driven.
- a control device 140 activates in response to the measurement signal of the sensor device 130 Air quantity amplifier 1 10 and the suction device 120 when the signal of the sensor device 130, the presence and a preset or measured speed of the metal strip 200 signals. Otherwise, that is, if no metal band 200 is detected or is present or falls below a predetermined speed threshold, the air quantity booster 1 10 and the suction 120 are disabled.
- the air particles of the exhaust air can then with substantially less (air) flow rate and therefore with much less energy, be sucked, as if it would have to be sucked over a further distance, initially to the intake of the suction device. Decisive for this is the fact that with the same energy use air particles can be blown much further than sucked.
- Figure 2 shows a cross section through the device 100 with a section transverse to the transport direction WR of the metal strip.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section through the rolling train 300 and the device 100 with a section in the longitudinal direction of the metal strip or with a section in the transport direction WR of the metal strip.
