Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide claws of a cold Pilger feed slide that use plate springs having long service lives instead of cushion rubber to open and close the claws of the feed slide. <P>SOLUTION: The claws of a cold Pilger feed slide, which use plate springs, open and close the claws 2 of a feed slide by using plate springs 15, when opening and closing the claws of a feed slide, which holds and feeds a stock tube on a cold rolling line in cold Pilger rolling. Further, the claws of a cold Pilger feed slide, which use plate springs, makes the plate springs to have a wedge effect. A long service life of the claw is expected by using the plate springs to open and close the claws of a feed slide. Since the plate springs do not suffer deformation such as spreading, permanent set, and bending, rolling is conducted without occurrence of abnormal opening or closing of the claws, so that productivity is improved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a cold pilger feed claw using a leaf spring in a cold rolled steel pipe line.

  Conventionally, in cold pilger rolling, cushion rubber is used to open and close the claw of the feed base that holds and feeds the raw pipe. FIG. 6 is a view showing a cushion rubber used in a conventional cold pilger feed base claw. FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a state in which the feed claw opening / closing is normal, and FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an abnormally deformed state after using the feed claw opening / closing for a long time. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the raw tube 1 before rolling is placed on the feed base, and the raw tube 1 is fed by opening and closing the feed base claw 2 on the feed base. The feed claw 2 is provided around the base tube 1, the feed claw 2 is supported by a cushion rubber 3, and the feed claw 2 is opened and closed by opening and closing the feed claw 2 by operating the holder 4. Sent.

  However, when the feed claw is used for a long period of time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the cushion rubber 3 for opening and closing the feed claw is crushed by deformation and wear due to opening and closing of the claw 5 Eventually, cracks occur and the feed base claw 2 generates the holder 4 and the interference portion 6, which causes a failure in opening and closing the feed base claw. As described above, the cushion rubber has a very short life, the deformed rubber cannot open and close the feed base claw, rolling stops due to abnormal opening and closing of the claw, and it takes time to replace the rubber. The fact is that it is inhibiting the productivity of gar.

On the other hand, as an example similar to the principle of a feed claw for inserting a steel pipe in cold pilger rolling, for example, an improved cosmetic as disclosed in JP-A-11-137335 (Patent Document 1). With regard to the pencil, without holding the tip of the lead by the fingertip, the lead is moved not only in the forward direction but also in the backward direction only by the forward operation by the knock and the pressing force to the rear of the spring. Proposals have been made to use rubber packing for retaining and delivering the cores that are possible.

  However, the cushion rubber that holds the tube in cold pilger rolling and that is used to open and close the claw of the feed base has a short life and is accompanied by abnormal opening and closing of the feed claw. Eliminating open / close abnormalities was an important issue.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors have intensively developed, and as a result, provided a cold pilger feed claw that uses a long-lasting leaf spring instead of cushion rubber to open and close the feed claw. To do.
The gist of the invention is that
(1) Using a leaf spring characterized in that the feed claw is opened and closed using a leaf spring in the opening and closing of the feed claw that holds and feeds the raw pipe in cold pilger rolling in the cold rolled steel pipe line Cold pilger feed claw.
(2) A cold pilger feed claw using a leaf spring characterized by having a wedge effect by the leaf spring according to (1).

  As described above, by using a leaf spring that has a long life instead of cushion rubber for opening and closing the feed base claw according to the present invention, there is no deformation such as spreading, sticking, bending, etc. of the leaf spring, causing an opening / closing abnormality. Therefore, the productivity can be improved, and a very excellent effect can be obtained in which a life of 10 times or more as compared with the conventional cushion rubber can be obtained.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a process in cold pilger rolling in a cold rolled steel pipe line. As shown in FIG. 1, the raw tube 1 before rolling is placed on a raw tube table 7, and the raw tube 1 supplied from the raw tube table 7 is clamped by a feed table 8 and sent through a control box 9, The feed stand 8 is sent to the roll stand 10. The raw tube 1 sent to the roll stand 10 is rolled while applying roll oil to the outer surface and the inner surface in the stand. The rolled product passes through the product table 12 via the crank 11, passes through the intermediate kicker 13, is cut to a predetermined length, and is conveyed to the cradle 14.

  FIG. 2 is a view showing an opening / closing part of a feed base according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the feed of the raw tube 1 before rolling is configured such that the holder 4 is operated back and forth by a cylinder, and the feed claw 2 is opened and closed by a leaf spring 15 by a wedge effect. . FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the feed base claw is closed according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the support 17 advances the holder 4 with the fulcrum 18 as a fulcrum by advancing the upper end of the support 17 by the advance of the cylinder 16. As a result, since the holder 4 forms a trapezoidal shape with a narrow tip, the feed base claw 2 is closed by the wedge effect by the leaf spring 15 by moving forward.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a state where the feed base claw is open according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, contrary to FIG. 3, when the cylinder 16 is retracted, the upper end portion of the support body 17 is retracted with the fulcrum 18 as a fulcrum, and the holder 4 is retracted. As a result, since the tip of the holder 4 forms a narrow trapezoidal shape, the feed base claw 2 is opened by the reaction force of the leaf spring 15 by retreating.

  FIG. 5 is a detailed view of a feed base claw portion using a leaf spring according to the present invention. FIG. 5A is a top view and FIG. 5B is a side view. As shown in FIG. 5, three feed base claws 2 are configured as one set on the circumference of the steel pipe 19, and a leaf spring 15 is provided between the three feed base claws 2 as shown in FIG. 5B. It is configured. The circumferential surface of the steel pipe 19 is gripped by the feed claw 2 or opened by the expansion / contraction reaction force of the leaf spring 15.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples.
As shown in FIG. 1, a raw tube 1 before rolling is placed on a raw tube base 7, and the raw tube 1 supplied from the raw tube base 7 is clamped by a feed base 8, passed through a control box 9, and rolled into a roll stand. 10 is sent. In clamping in the feed table 8 in these processes, a leaf spring 15 is used to open and close the feed claw 2 that holds the base tube 1. The thickness of the feed claw at this time was 8 mm or more, and the outer diameter of the steel pipe that can be held by the feed claw at that time was φ45 to 82 mm. After this use, the degree of deformation such as spreading, settling, and bending of the leaf spring was confirmed, and the number of times of abnormal opening / closing of the feed base was confirmed. As a result, when the conventional cushion rubber was used, an opening / closing abnormality of 25 times / month occurred. On the other hand, when the leaf spring of the present invention was used, the result was 2 to 3 times / month, and it was possible to obtain a long life of about 10 times.

  As described above, the use of leaf springs to open and close the conventional feed base pawls can extend the life of the leaf springs, and there is no deformation such as spreading, sticking, bending, etc. Rolling becomes possible, and an extremely excellent effect that productivity can be improved is achieved.
