- a roll stand has at least one upper work roll, at least one cooling device for cooling the upper work roll, with which cooling liquid can be applied to the upper work roll on the bale side, and at least one stripper which is brought up to the upper work roll on the bale side and with which the wiper flowing away from the upper work roll Coolant can be collected on the scraper and can be stripped from the upper work roll to form a coolant lake limited on one side by the upper work roll.
- the cooling device has at least one water jet pump, which has a pressurized water inlet, which at least temporarily has a coolant supply is connected to the cooling device, and has an intake inlet that at least temporarily plunges into the cooling liquid lake.
- the cooling liquid for example a cooling water
- the cooling liquid lake on the scraper can be sucked off and removed thereby by means of the water jet pump, whereby the cooling liquid lake which is unnecessary or troublesome can possibly be almost completely reduced.
- an impairment of a spray pattern of a device used for spraying the cooling liquid in the direction of the upper work roll is not impaired by the cooling liquid lake.
- the reduction in the coolant lake ensures that the heated coolant contained in the coolant lake does not impair the desired cooling of the upper work roll.
- the present invention further improves the cooling efficiency of the upper work roll.
- the cooling liquid does not flow away from the stripper (on both sides) laterally or at the end faces of the roll, no outflow space described at the outset is required between the stripper and a delimitation of the roll stand.
- the maximum width, in particular the maximum bandwidth, of the rolled product is not restricted by the cooling device according to the invention.
- the length of the scraper given by the roll stand, transverse to the running direction of the rolling stock, can fully utilize the space that is limited, for example, by the roll stands and / or the lateral cheeks of an outlet guide. A longer wiper than conventional can therefore be used.
- the cooling liquid according to the invention does not flow off the wiper (on both sides) laterally or on the end face of the roll, it cannot get onto the edges, in particular strip edges, of the rolled product, so that the invention also prevents a consequent deterioration in the quality of the rolled product and thus allows a wider range in a given installation space.
- the suction of the coolant from the coolant lake according to the invention is also not critical to a possible suction of air.
- no external power input is required to operate the water jet pump, since the water jet pump is operated by means of the pressurized water of the coolant supply, which is already available.
- the suction of the cooling liquid from the cooling liquid lake according to the invention is also insensitive to contaminated cooling liquid or to particles in the sucked-in cooling liquid and is therefore very low-maintenance, permanent and inexpensive to operate.
- the cooling liquid can be supplied to the pressurized water inlet of the water jet pump, for example, at a pressure which is greater than 3 bar, preferably greater than 5 bar, and is particularly preferably between 10 bar and 15 bar.
- the pressure at the suction inlet of the water jet pump results from the ambient pressure and the pressure of the cooling liquid lake, which is negligible and is approximately 0 bar.
- a quantity of coolant between 100 m 3 / h and 900 m 3 / h can be applied to the upper work roll.
- the amount of coolant branched off for the operation of the water jet pump can be, for example, about 10% to about 20% of the total amount of coolant supplied to an injection unit of the cooling device.
- the cooling device can have at least one cooling bar, which is arranged laterally next to the upper work roll with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the upper work roll and by means of which the cooling liquid can be sprayed in the direction of the upper work roll, as a result of which the coolant can be applied laterally to the upper work roll.
- the chilled beam can be arranged to be adjustable in height.
- the water jet pump or its pressurized water inlet and / or suction inlet can be connected to the coolant supply of the cooling device continuously or temporarily. In the second alternative, the water jet pump can be operated as required by temporarily using the water jet pump via at least one switching valve or the like
- Coolant supply is connected.
- the water jet pump itself is, however, a self-regulating system which basically does not require any control and / or regulation and also does without valve technology and the like.
- the cooling device can also have two or more water jet pumps arranged distributed over the width of the upper work roll.
- the scraper is held by means of a scraper holder and can be arranged to be adjustable relative to the upper work roll.
- the stripper is arranged inclined, its end section facing the upper work roll being arranged geodetically lower than its end section facing away from the upper work roll.
- a basin is formed between the upper work roll and the scraper, in which the coolant lake is formed.
- the scraper can have lateral cheeks that delimit the basin on opposite sides and prevent the coolant from flowing away laterally from the scraper on both sides.
- the rolling stand can in particular be a hot rolling stand.
- the rolling stand can be used, for example, for rolling metallic, preferably iron-containing or aluminum-containing rolling stock.
