Description

  The present invention relates to a metal strip transport facility, and in particular, when the tail end portion of the metal strip is wound with no tension (for example, a state in which no back tension is applied after passing through a rolling mill). The present invention relates to a transport facility capable of preventing out-of-plane deformation of a metal strip and accompanying meandering (and winding deviation in a coiler due to meandering).

Hereinafter, a steel strip conveyance / winding technique that has been generally performed will be described.
FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show a conventional general steel strip conveying / winding facility, in which FIG. 11 is a plan view and FIG. 12 is a side view. This equipment includes a transport roll 47 for transporting the steel strip, a side guide 41 for guiding the steel strip to the pass line center (centering), guiding the steel strip pass line obliquely downward, and winding tension ( A pinch roll 42 for applying a back tension), a coiler 43 for winding a steel strip, and the like.

  The coiler 43 winds the steel strip in a coil shape by a frictional force generated by a mandrel 430 that is a winding shaft and a wrapper roll 431 that presses the steel strip. The conveyance roll 47 (conveyance roll device) is called a hot run table or a run-out table in a hot rolling facility, and the most downstream conveyance roll group is shown in the figure. The side guide 41 is provided with a clearance of several millimeters to several tens of millimeters with respect to the width of the steel strip in consideration of position control error with respect to the plate width target, plate width error in rolling, wear damage due to collision, and the like. .

The pinch roll 42 applies a rolling load to the upper roll 420a via a bearing box (chock) by independent rolling devices on both ends of the roll, and sandwiches a steel strip between the lower roll 420b. In order to guide the steel strip between the upper and lower rolls of the pinch roll 42, an entry guide 44, an apron guide 45, etc. are installed on the entry side of the pinch roll 42, and a throat guide 46, etc. is installed on the exit side. ing.
In the case of a hot-rolled steel strip, since the winding tension is applied to the coiler 43 by a rolling mill during finish rolling, the holding strength of the steel strip by the pinch roll 42 is generally set low. Then, the tension distribution gradually shifts to the pinch roll 42 slightly before the tail end of the steel strip exits the finishing mill, and after the tail end of the steel strip exits the finishing mill, the winding tension ( Back tension).

The pinch roll 42 sandwiches the steel strip between the upper and lower rolls 420a and 420b, rotates the upper and lower rolls at a peripheral speed that is several percent to several tens of percent slower than the plate passing speed of the steel strip, and slides the roll against the steel strip. The back tension to the coiler 43 is added by sending out the air. When the back tension by the pinch roll 42 is weak, the winding is loosened, and when the back tension is strong, meandering due to the pinch roll is likely to occur. In particular, at the tail end of the steel strip, there are many cases where the change in tension, speed, plate thickness, etc. is large, and the meandering change becomes abrupt.
FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing a situation in which meandering occurs due to the pinch roll when winding the tail end of the steel strip. When the steel strip meanders with the pinch roll 42 in this way, the coiler 43 causes winding slippage. Will occur.

There are two main causes of meandering due to pinch rolls: side slip force, which is the frictional force of back tension, and moment due to displacement (differential load) of the rolling load at both ends of the pinch roll shaft. Of the meandering caused by these pinch rolls, the side slip force will be described below.
If the incident angle of the steel strip with respect to the axis of the pinch roll 42 is a right angle, meandering due to the back tension of the pinch roll 42 does not occur. However, since there is a clearance between the side guide 41 and the steel strip, the steel strip can have a minute incident angle error with respect to the axis perpendicular to the pinch roll 42. Even if the steel strip is parallel to the center of the pass line, the axis of the pinch roll 42 may have a minute angular error with respect to the direction perpendicular to the line center. As long as it is a machine, minute angular errors are inevitable. Then, due to the slight deviation of the incident angle between the steel strip and the pinch roll 42, the side slip force due to the frictional component in the roll axis direction (thrust direction) is generated out of the friction force as the back tension. Then meandering occurs. The meandering amount generated in the pinch roll 42 reaches the coiler 43 by the steel strip passing plate and becomes an equivalent amount of winding deviation.

  In order to reduce the incident angle error of the steel strip with respect to the axis of the pinch roll 42, it is effective to bring the side guide 41 close to the vicinity of the pinch roll 42. However, the side guide 41 is brought close to the vicinity of the pinch roll 42 in order to avoid interference with the entry guide 44 or the like, or because the transport roll 47 cannot be disposed on the entry side of the pinch roll 42. I can't. In addition, although it is desirable to arrange the transport roll 47 as far as the entrance side of the pinch roll 42, the most downstream transport roll 47 cannot be disposed in the vicinity of the pinch roll 42 due to apparatus interference or the like. The apron guide 45 is a guide provided to prevent the steel strip from sinking downward, instead of disposing the transport roll 47 in the vicinity of the entrance side of the pinch roll 42.

The incidence angle error of the steel strip with respect to the axis of the pinch roll 42 is caused not only by the distance between the side guide 41 and the pinch roll 42 but also by the clearance between the side guide 41 and the steel strip. Obviously, it is effective to restrain the steel strip with the side guide 41 in order to prevent meandering due to the pinch roll.
If the edge portion of the steel strip is firmly constrained by the side guide 41, the steel strip is rubbed. Therefore, in order to constrain the edge of the steel strip by the side guide 41 without causing such crease, the plate width Accurate position control according to the need is required. However, at the tail end of the steel strip, since there is a wide portion (called flare or the like) generated in the rolling stage, accurate sheet width tracking control is difficult.
In addition, when performing so-called pressure control in which the side guide 41 is pressed against the edge of the steel strip, the pressing pressure constant control with higher accuracy is required as the steel strip becomes thinner. However, in such a constant pressing pressure control, the resultant force applied to one guide plate is fed back over the entire length of the side guide. Therefore, when the plate width is not uniform in the longitudinal direction of the steel strip, the partial pressing pressure is excessive. Or it is inevitable that the pressing pressure is too low.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, since the lower side of the side guide 41 has a shape (comb-like shape) that enters between adjacent conveyance rolls 47, when the side guide 41 is pressed against the edge of the steel strip, The edge of the steel strip hurts (so-called ear hurts). In particular, in the case of a thin steel strip whose thickness is equal to or less than the clearance between the upper end of the transport roll 47 and the lower end edge of the side guide 41 (the arc-shaped lower end edge along the transport roll), the sheet thickness contacts the edge portion of the steel strip. Is not the entire length of the side guide 41 but only the comb-like portion, and when pressed only by the comb-like portion in this way, the edge portion of the steel strip is particularly painful. Also, by pressing, the inside of the side guide 41 is also easily worn, and because the opponent is a steel strip edge portion, it becomes wedge-shaped local wear, and the one that was initially restrained by the flat surface of the side guide 41, Such local wear can cause the steel strip to be brazed.

  In order to correct the meandering generated by the pinch roll 42, a method of installing a meandering correction roller or the like between the pinch roll 42 and the coiler 43 has been studied. Since the pass line of the belt changes, it is difficult to install a support roller or the like, and the method of performing meandering control by applying a roller to an unsupported steel strip has a limit from the viewpoint of control response. In addition, a method of feeding back a sensor signal such as a meandering meter and controlling the steel strip in the width direction is difficult to realize due to the problem of responsiveness.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 shows a meandering correction device for a steel strip provided with a transporting roll made up of a pair of rolls arranged in an inverted C shape in the plate passing direction. This device corrects the meandering of the steel strip by a centering action using frictional resistance by a pair of rolls arranged in an inverted C shape.
Patent Document 2 discloses a steel band meandering prevention device in which a plurality of transport rolls as in Patent Document 1 are provided and magnets are arranged between the transport rolls. In this patent document 2, in addition to the centering action by a pair of rolls arranged in an inverted C shape, the attractive force of the magnet acts on the steel strip, so that the centering effect is further enhanced.

However, as a result of investigations by the present inventors, the devices as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have a certain effect in preventing meandering that occurs upstream of the transport line. As a result, it was found that there is almost no preventive effect on the out-of-plane deformation occurring at the tail end of the steel strip at the upstream position of the pinch roll (the position on the pinch roll's entry side) and meandering caused by this out-of-plane deformation.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is a metal strip transport facility having a relatively simple structure, and can effectively suppress the out-of-plane deformation of the metal strip that tends to occur at the upstream position of the pinch roll and the accompanying meandering. It is to provide a transportation facility.

The present inventors have conducted a detailed study on the mechanism of meandering caused by pinch rolls at the tail end of the steel strip and measures for preventing meandering. As a result, the following knowledge has been obtained.
First, when the meandering occurs due to the pinch roll, if the deformation of the steel strip on the pinch roll entry side is emphasized, it is found that the steel strip is deformed out of plane as shown in FIGS. It was. Here, FIG. 15 is a plan view schematically showing the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip on the entrance side of the pinch roll when meandering caused by the pinch roll occurs in the conventional steel strip winding equipment, and FIG. A front view and FIG. 17 are also side views. This out-of-plane deformation is a deformation in which the steel strip is raised (floating wrinkles) in the vertical direction, but it is not a uniform deformation in the plate width direction like a loop, but an edge portion on one side (FIGS. 15 to 17). In this case, it is considered to be a lateral buckling phenomenon of a thin plate, which is an out-of-plane deformation including a twist in which the edge portion on the right side in the traveling direction) is largely deformed. This is because the component force (thrust force) in the roll axial direction of the frictional force generated by the pinch roll 42, that is, the side slip force, and the direction of the reaction force due to the steel strip contacting at the side guide end are reversed in the plate width direction. Therefore, it is considered that the lateral buckling occurred in the steel strip.

  The deformations used here are different from what are called loops, undulations, accordions, bellows, etc., which are uniform deformations in the plate width direction. The deformation like the above loop, the tension is relaxed by the steel strip tail end passing through the finishing mill, and the steel plate tail end threading speed is faster than the pinch roll threading speed, It is a loop at the entrance side of the pinch roll, and is not a side buckling caused by a side slip force by the pinch roll. When lateral buckling occurs in the steel strip between the side guide 41 and the pinch roll 42 as shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, the steel strip has an incident angle with respect to the pinch roll 42, and as described above. It is thought that the meandering of the steel strip occurs due to the effect.

Since the meandering prevention technology of Patent Documents 1 and 2 applies a side slip force by a roll to the steel strip being conveyed and returns it to the center of the line, it is possible to correct the meandering on the upstream side of the conveying line, but the meandering prevention device P1 If the disturbance device P2 (pinch roll, etc.) is downstream of the center, the resistance against the disturbance P2 is the plate rigidity between P1 and P2 with P1 as the fulcrum. If the plate rigidity is low, lateral buckling (out-of-plane deformation) and meandering associated therewith will occur.
Therefore, as a result of further investigation based on the idea of preventing meandering by suppressing such lateral buckling, a pair of roll bodies having a specific arrangement form is provided, and the pair of roll bodies On the other hand, by using a transport roll in which magnets are arranged in a specific form, by suppressing the out-of-plane deformation of the metal strip, it is possible to suppress the lateral buckling as described above, and as a result, to effectively suppress the meandering of the steel strip I understood.

The present invention has been made on the basis of such knowledge and has the following gist.

1 to 5 show an embodiment of a transport facility according to the first invention of the present application. FIG. 1 is a side view, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a part of the transport facility, and FIG. 4 is a horizontal sectional view of the transport roll A, and FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a part of the transport roll A.
The metal strip to be transported by the facility of the present invention is a magnetic material. Hereinafter, a case where the metal strip is a steel strip will be described as an example.
In the figure, 1 is a roller table (conveying roll device) for conveying a steel strip, and is composed of a large number of conveying rolls 5 (including a conveying roll A). Reference numeral 2 denotes a side guide provided on the transport roll device 1, and reference numeral 3 denotes a pinch roll provided on the downstream side of the side guide 2. The pinch roll 3 includes upper and lower rolls 30a and 30b. 4 is a coiler provided on the downstream side of the pinch roll 3. Reference numeral 9 denotes an apron guide provided between the roller table 1 and the pinch roll 3. The above equipment configuration is the same as the conventional winding equipment shown in FIGS.
The pinch roll 3 is composed of upper and lower rolls (both upper and lower rolls are driven rolls) for restraining the steel strip. The pinch roll 3 guides the steel strip pass line obliquely downward, and applies a winding tension to the steel strip. Refers to a roll.

In this embodiment, the conveyance roll 5 located in the vicinity of the most downstream end of the side guide 2 constitutes a conveyance roll A for preventing out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip. The transport roll A is composed of a pair of roll bodies a _L and a _R that are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the pass line Pc. In the axis lines Rc _L and Rc _R of both roll bodies a _L and a _R , the end side near the pass line center Pc is inclined toward the upstream side of the line with respect to the roller table width direction.
Transport roll A has a roll body support shaft 7 the central portion of the roller table width direction is bent to the "V-shaped" (non-rotating fixed shaft), in the axial portion 70 on both sides of the bent portion _L, 70 _R The roll bodies a _L and a _R are rotatably supported via bearings 8, respectively.
Both roll body a _L, of the shaft portion 70 _L, 70 _R for rotatably supporting the a _R, the upper portion of the shaft portion located on the roll body side, a plurality of magnets B are provided at appropriate intervals in the axial direction ing. These magnets B are provided such that a magnetic force (attraction force) is applied to the steel strip S passing through the roll bodies a _L and a _R.
The magnet B may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, but a permanent magnet is preferred for a simpler equipment configuration.

Although there is no special restriction on the inclination angle θ (see FIG. 4) of the axis Rc _L and Rc _R of both roll bodies a _L and a _R with respect to the roller table width direction, the effect of preventing the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip as described later is achieved. In order to obtain appropriately, it is desirable that it is 15 ° or more, preferably 20 ° or more. On the other hand, if the inclination angle θ becomes too large, the wear of the roll increases and the roll rotation direction moves away from the line direction to prevent proper rotation of the roll. Therefore, the inclination angle θ is 45 ° or less, preferably 40 ° or less. It is desirable to be. Further, from the above viewpoint, the particularly preferable inclination angle θ is 25 to 35 °.
The transport roll A (roll bodies a _L , a _R ) of the present embodiment is a non-drive roll, but may be a drive roll. In the case of a driving roll, for example, the rotational power from the rotational driving means may be transmitted to one end of the roll bodies a _L and a _R.
The number of transport rolls A installed is arbitrary, and two or more may be provided.

The operation of the conveying device of the present invention as described above will be described. This conveying device is disposed inside the support structure of the steel strip S by the pair of roll bodies a _L and a _R and the roll bodies a _L and a _R. Due to the combined action of the attractive force by the magnet B, the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S is appropriately suppressed, thereby preventing the meandering of the steel strip S due to the out-of-plane deformation.
The effect of suppressing the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S by the conveying equipment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, when magnets are arranged between the transport rolls as in Patent Document 2, since the magnet attracting force acts on the steel strip portion between the transport rolls, the steel strip is likely to bend, and this deflection causes a new out-of-plane deformation. May occur. In the apparatus of the present invention for this, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), a pair of the roll body a _L, the support structure of the steel strip S by a _R, pseudo surface contact with the steel strip S The plate rigidity is improved by contact, and the attractive force of the magnet B acts on the steel strip portion where the plate stiffness is improved. Therefore, the pair of roll bodies a are not caused by the bending of the steel strip S as described above. _The out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S can be suppressed by the action of _{L 1} , a _R and the magnet B incorporated therein.

In addition, when the transport roll disposed adjacent to the downstream side of the transport roll A is a transport roll (a transport roll of a normal form) made of a single roll body along the roller table width direction, FIG. 6 (b), the pair of roll bodies a _L and a _R and the transport roll 5 form a triangular pseudo surface contact state, so that the plate rigidity is further improved. Out-of-plane deformation can be more effectively suppressed.
Further, the conveyance equipment of the present invention, as a side effect, the roll body a _L a pair that constitute the transport roll _A, the steel strip S centering action by a _R is obtained. That is, when the steel strip S meanders in the upper part of FIG. 4, the strip area in contact with the roll body a _L is large, the force acting on the lower side is a frictional direction of the roll body a _L acts This is the restoring force to the center of the pass line. Actually, since the restoring force acts before meandering in this way, the steel strip S is automatically centered at the center of the pass line.

  The conveying device of the present invention can be applied not only to the horizontal pass line but also to the vertical pass line as long as the attractive force by the magnetic force is increased. However, when used in a horizontal pass line, not only the magnetic force but also the weight of the steel strip acts as a contact force, which is particularly effective. In particular, in an installation equipped with a pinch roll and a coiler, it is effective to suppress the meandering of the steel strip caused by the pinch roll (meandering caused by out-of-plane deformation).

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the transport facility according to the second invention of the present application.
Transport roll A (roll a _L, a _R) of the conveyance system configuration of is similar to the first invention of the present application mentioned earlier, the roll body a _L, the axis of a _R Rc _L, Rc _R Is inclined with respect to the width direction of the roller table, so that the magnet B is arranged in the planar valley-like space portion 10 formed between the two roll bodies a _L and a _R.
Although there is no particular restriction on the arrangement of the magnet B in the inside space portion 10, as in the present embodiment, the magnet B is roll a _L, a _R a and roll a _L as much as possible close _to a _R It is preferable to arrange it in a "<" shape. In addition, the magnet B having such an arrangement may be provided with the same width and height, but (a) the magnet width is set to both ends> the center, and (b) the distance to the steel strip is set to both ends. <If either or both of the central portion is satisfied, the suction force on the side meandering the steel strip increases, which is particularly effective. In the present embodiment, the magnet width is such that both end portions> center portion.

The configuration of the roll body support shaft 7 and the like is the same as that of the embodiment of FIGS.
In this transfer apparatus, similarly to FIG. 6 (b), a pair of the roll body a _L, the support structure of the steel strip S by a _R, the plate stiffness becomes contact with the steel strip S is the pseudo-face contact Since the attraction force by the magnet B acts on the steel strip portion with improved plate rigidity, the pair of roll bodies a _L and a _R can be obtained without causing the deflection of the steel strip as in Patent Document 2. The magnet B can suppress the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S. Further, when the transport roll arranged adjacent to the downstream side of the transport roll A is a normal transport roll 5 (a transport roll made of a single roll body along the roller table width direction), FIG. (B), a pair of roll bodies a _L and a _R and the conveying roll 5 form a triangular pseudo surface contact state, so that the plate rigidity is further improved and the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S Can be suppressed more effectively.

Next, a more preferred embodiment of the transfer facility of the present invention will be described.
8 to 10 show another embodiment of the transfer equipment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a plan view, FIG. 9 is a side view showing a roller table, a side guide, a pinch roll, and the like, and FIG. It is an arrow line view which follows the XX line of FIG. In this embodiment, the transfer device according to the first invention of the present application (the transfer device shown in FIGS. 1 to 6) is applied, but the transfer device according to the second invention of the present application (the transfer shown in FIG. 7). Apparatus) may be applied.

  As side guides, for example, (1) guide the steel strip with a guide plate, (2) rotatable guide rolls for steel strip guides (竪 rolls, disc rolls, etc.) at intervals in the longitudinal direction ), Etc., but may have any structure. The side guide 2 of this embodiment is provided with guide strips 6 for guiding the steel strip at a plurality of positions spaced in the longitudinal direction, and the steel strip S is guided by these guide rolls 6. The guide roll 6 is constituted by a saddle type roll, a disk roll, or the like, and is rotatably held by the side guide body. Each guide roll 6 has a part in the circumferential direction protruding a predetermined length inside the side guide main body, and the steel strip S is guided by the edge portion of the steel strip S coming into contact with the protruding portion.

Here, the position on the most downstream side where the steel strip S can be restrained in the side guide 2 is defined as x. Side guide 2 of the present embodiment because it is intended to restrain the steel strip S by the guide roll 6, the center position of the most downstream side of the guide roll 6 _E is the position x. In addition, the position of the intermediate point between this position x and the pinch roll reduction point is y, the distance from the position x to the position y is L, and the position in the side guide that is separated from the position x by the distance L upstream of the line is z. And
According to the knowledge of the present inventors, the region between the position z and the position y is a region where the out-of-plane deformation is most likely to occur (region where the out-of-plane deformation starts). Then, the above-described transport roll A is provided between the position z and the position y. A plurality of the transport rolls A can be provided.

Further, the transport roll 5 that is particularly effective for the transport roll A is the first transport roll 5 _R on the upstream side of the position x, the first transport roll 5 _S on the downstream side of the position x, and the position x. a transport roll 5 _T downstream two eyes, therefore, it is preferable that the one or more transfer rolls 5 selected from these and the conveying rolls a. Moreover, since the point which is most likely to be the starting point of the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S is the position x, it is most preferable that the transport roll 5 closest to the position x is the transport roll A. Thereby, the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S can be particularly effectively suppressed.

Further, the side guide 2 may not be provided with a guide roll and may be of a type in which the steel strip S is guided by a guide plate (side guide main body). In the case of such a side guide 2, the steel strip S is provided on the guide plate. The steel strip S is guided by the contact of the edge portion. Therefore, in the case of this type of side guide 2, the most downstream end (terminal) of the guide plate (side guide body) is the position x.
In the present invention, since it is only necessary to suppress the out-of-plane deformation of the steel strip S, the attractive force of the steel strip by the magnet B may be about 1/5 or less (preferably 1/10 or less) of the pinch roll rolling force. If the attractive force of the steel strip by the magnet B is too large, there is a risk of causing unnecessary deformation of the steel strip.
