Definitions

  • the invention relates to a robotic system for loading and unloading suitable for changing rolls of a rolling mill, or even sets of support rollers of a rolling mill, or even spray ramps, as well as a rolling installation comprising such a robotic system.
  • the invention also relates to a method for unloading and/or loading rolls (or sets of support rollers) of a rolling mill implemented by such a robotic system.
  • the field of the invention relates more particularly to the equipment used to carry out maintenance operations on a rolling mill of the 20 High type.
  • a rolling mill 20 High is for example known from prior art US Pat. No. 5,193,377 and US Pat. No. 5,471,859. relative to the running plane of the metal strip to be rolled.
  • Figure 5 of document US 5,193,377 illustrates for example the upper group with a work roll, two first intermediate rolls, three second intermediate rolls, and four sets of support rollers.
  • As the rolling campaigns progress it is necessary to renew the surface condition of the rolls of the rolling mill, this operation being carried out by opening the access door of the rolling stand and by removing the rolls from the rolling stand. These rolls are then rectified, before being inserted again into the rolling mill stand.
  • Each set of support rollers typically comprises a support shaft along which are distributed rollers typically formed by bearings.
  • the inner ring of each bearing is mounted on the support shaft, the outer ring of the bearing being intended to roll on one, or even two contiguous cylinders belonging to the cylinders of the second intermediates.
  • the set of support rollers further comprises a fifth wheel whose arcuate body extends longitudinally over the length of the support shaft, and whose convex face is intended to bear on a concave seat of a mounting part from the cage.
  • This fifth wheel also has extensions, projecting from the concave face of the body, through which the support shaft passes, the extensions being distributed over the length of the shaft and in particular arranged between the rollers.
  • Eccentric rings are also provided between the support shaft and these extensions, the shaft having a pinion intended to mesh in the rolling mill stand with a corresponding pinion, or even a rack.
  • This pinion (or this rack) thus makes it possible to drive the support shaft in rotation, and thus to spread or approximate the position of the support shaft and the rollers carried in relation to the arcuate body of the fifth wheel, thanks to the eccentric rings .
  • these sets of support rollers also require maintenance, which is carried out by removing this member from the cage, along the axis of said support shaft.
  • the operations for extracting (or putting in place by insertion) internal organs are usually carried out using handling equipment secured to the end of the organ at withdraw (i.e. at the end of the cylinder to be withdrawn or of the support shaft of the set of support rollers to be withdrawn), provided with a counterweight.
  • the purpose of the counterweight is to balance the member to be gripped when manipulated by the hoist of an overhead crane in the workshop, and in order to keep it substantially horizontal, and while the hook of the hoist grips a ring positioned on the equipment between the counterweight and the seized organ.
  • the gripped organ is rigidly attached to the counterweight of the equipment, which is likely to swing at the lower end of the cable of the hoist.
  • this operation requires, for example, for the sets of rollers of the upper group to maintain the harness upwards, and against gravity which tends to tilt it downwards,
  • the surface swept by the gripped member (cylinder or set of support rollers) carried at the end of the robotic arm during its rotation and up to the area of removal is very important and can only be considered when the necessary space in the workshop is available.
  • a robotic system for an installation for rolling a metal strip, including a rolling mill with 20 rolls comprising a rolling stand and a set of rolls, internal to the stand, including two working rolls of the metal strip, eight sets of support rollers, first intermediate rolls and second intermediate rolls, the rolling stand having an access opening, closed by a door system, the metal strip extending longitudinally in a direction X, horizontal, and transversely in a direction Y, horizontal, parallel to the axes of the rolls of the rolling mill.
  • the robotic system comprises: a robot Ro comprising:
  • a carriage comprising a first chassis Ch1 provided with wheels cooperating with rails Ra1 arranged on the ground, extending in the direction Y, in line with the access opening of the rolling mill stand, said first chassis configured to move in the direction Y along the rails, under the action of the first driving means driving the wheels,
  • a gripping system is attached to the third chassis and such a robotic system according to the state of the art is configured to ensure the extraction of a cylinder, by implementing the following steps:
  • the extracted cylinder is entirely outside the stand of the rolling mill, oriented axially parallel to the Y direction, transverse.
  • the roll is then in an intermediate position where the roll is located between, on the one hand, the access opening of the rolling mill stand, left open by the door system, and on the other hand, the robot carriage, and as shown in Figure 2.
  • the removal of the cylinder requires additional motorized equipment, comprising a system of removal racks, motorized, at least in the direction X horizontally so that it is positioned between the rolling mill and the robot.
  • This rack system can also be moved in a motorized manner in the horizontal Y direction.
  • the Rac rack system can thus itself comprise a carriage with a first chassis Ch11 configured to move along rails Ra2 arranged parallel to the rail Ra1 of the robot, laterally to the robot, in the transverse direction Y by a first engine, and a second chassis Ch12 carrying the cylinder loading/unloading rack, configured to be moved, relative to the first chassis Ch11, in the X direction using a slide system between the second chassis Ch12 and the first chassis 11, and second engines.
  • the rack is thus moved by the first frame along the rails Ra2, in the Y direction, then by moving the second frame in the X direction, cantilevered from the first frame , to ensure the removal of the cylinder by the robot on the rack which takes place, by the action of the third motor means, while the cylinder is still oriented in the direction Y, in a position where the mobile rack is positioned intermediate between the rolling mill and the robot.
  • the mobile rack system is an item of equipment which clutters the maintenance aisle, which extends, in the direction X, along the access openings of the various rolling mills.
  • the system of rack thus makes it possible to stand in the area between the rolling mill and the robot, so as to allow the robot to deposit the cylinders which have been extracted on the rack system, the cylinder then still oriented in the transverse direction Y, or even to allow the robot to recover one of the cylinders on the rack then oriented in the transverse direction Y.
  • Such a robotic system is conventionally used to ensure the withdrawal of the rolls of a 20 Hi rolling mill, and in particular the work rolls, the first intermediate rolls and the second intermediate rolls.
