Description

  The present invention relates to a coil transport system for transporting a coil in which a metal strip is wound along a transport line having a height difference.

  In general, a metal strip manufactured by a continuous rolling facility is wound around a mandrel of a downcoiler to form a coil, and then extracted from the mandrel and conveyed to a coil storage yard or other processing facility. At this time, the transfer line that is the transfer path of the coil changes variously according to the layout of the factory, and the coil is transferred using transfer devices that are combined in various ways according to such a transfer line. Yes.

  Here, when winding a metal strip with a downcoiler, the metal strip conveyed on the rolling line is wound at a position lower than the middle position of the rolling line, so the winding position by the downcoiler is the ground surface (GL). It is often lower than the height. In this case, the coil entrance such as the coil storage yard is often provided at the ground surface height, and from the viewpoint of avoiding interference with other equipment, the entrance side and the exit surface from the winding position to the ground surface height. The coil needs to be transported along a transport line having a height difference from the side.

  As described above, when a coil is conveyed along a conveying line having a difference in height, conventionally, a chain conveyor as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided to be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, and this chain conveyor is used to provide a highland side. Generally, a method of conveying the coil is employed.

  By the way, when a coil is conveyed to the high ground side by such a chain conveyor, the coil on the chain conveyor is conveyed by pulling the chain. For this reason, as the coil ascending gradient expressed by the gradient with respect to the horizontal plane of the chain conveyor increases, the load of the load due to the weight of the coil with respect to the chain increases. If the load applied to the chain is large, the strength of the chain will be reduced and the frequency of chain maintenance will be increased. there were.

  The inventors of the present invention investigated the coil ascending gradient of the chain conveyor, and it has been confirmed that generally the safety is estimated and the ascending gradient is about 50/1000.

  Thus, when a chain conveyor is used as a coil conveying device, there has conventionally been an upper limit value for the coil ascending gradient. The existence of such an upper limit means that the horizontal length of the coil conveying device for raising the coil having a constant height is increased, and the coil conveying device is enlarged accordingly. In addition, a large-scale civil engineering work has been required to install the coil transfer device.

  Therefore, the present invention has been devised in view of the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to use a chain conveyor when conveying a coil along a conveying line having a height difference. An object of the present invention is to provide a coil transfer system that can transfer a coil to a high altitude side and can increase a coil ascending gradient as compared with the prior art.

  The coil transfer system according to a second aspect of the present invention is the coil transfer system according to the first aspect, wherein the presence or absence of interference is determined when reaching a position where interference can occur with the skid during traveling. It is comprised so that only the operation | movement which raises / lowers may be performed.

  The coil conveyance system according to a third aspect of the present invention is the first or second aspect, wherein the coil conveyance distance (mm) in the horizontal direction of the coil conveyed by the plurality of coil cars is the coil conveyance height (mm) in the vertical direction. The coil ascending gradient, which is a value divided by ## EQU2 ## is configured to be 100/1000 or more.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the coil transfer system according to any one of the first to third aspects of the invention, wherein the plurality of steps of the rails are arranged such that the coil cars on both sides of the upper and lower steps entering the inter-step shared skid are between the steps. It is laid at least to a position where the coil can be placed on a common skid.

  The coil transfer system according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the coil transfer system according to any one of the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, wherein the transfer line has a ground surface height from a downcoiler on the exit side of the rolling line that is lower than the ground surface height.

It becomes possible to improve the conveyance capacity of the coil. Further, it is possible to increase the coil ascending gradient without causing a problem such as an increase in load on the chain accompanying an increase in the coil ascending gradient, which occurs when a chain conveyor is used. Moreover, since it is possible to increase the coil ascending gradient as compared with the conventional case, the horizontal length of the equipment necessary for raising the constant height coil can be reduced as compared with the conventional technique. The overall size can be reduced, the area to be dug down can be reduced, and the area of the building can be saved, thereby reducing the equipment cost and the construction cost.

  In addition, according to the first to fifth inventions, since the rails on which the coil car travels are configured as a plurality of rails laid at different heights, the coils are compared with the case of a single rail. It becomes possible to shorten the distance from the rail of the coil car to be conveyed to the high altitude side to the coil cradle. For this reason, the center of gravity position of the coil car in the vertical direction approaches the rail, and accordingly, the traveling operation of the coil car and the lifting operation of the coil cradle can be stabilized, leading to instability of the operation of the coil car. It is possible to increase the amount of coil rise per coil car and realize a high coil rise gradient.

  Further, according to the first to fifth inventions, since the inter-stage shared skid is arranged in the step portion of the plurality of rails, between the upper and lower coil cars traveling on the plurality of rails. The coil can be transferred smoothly as in the case of using a normal skid.

  In the second transfer line 7 in which the coil transfer system 1 according to the present invention is used, in the present embodiment, the coil car 30 having the travel path between the three entrance skids 20 and the travel path between the other skids 20 are used. The operation of the coil car 30 is different. Each coil car 30 is configured to perform a series of operations described below under the control of a process computer or the like (not shown). In the following, the position of the coil car 30 before and after the end of the series of operations executed by the coil car 30 will be described as a standby position.

  The coil car 30 having the traveling path between the three skids 20 on the entry side performs the following series of operations. First, the coil car 30 is caused to enter the skid 20 on the entry side from the standby position of the coil car 30. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5A, the coil cradle 35 is raised and the coil 2 placed on the entrance skid 20 is received by the coil cradle 35. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5B, the coil car 30 is caused to travel along the rail 15 until it enters the skid 20 on the exit side of the second conveyance line 7. During this traveling operation, the coil cradle 35 of the coil car 30 is not raised. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6A, the coil cradle 35 is lowered and the coil 2 is delivered to the skid 20 on the exit side. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, after the coil car 30 is traveled to the entry side of the second conveyance line 7 until the coil car 30 is positioned on the standby position of the coil car 30, a series of operations performed by the coil car 30 is completed. .

Coil car 30 to travel route between the other skip de executes the following series of operations. FIG. 7A is a schematic diagram schematically showing a path through which the coil cradle 35 passes in performing a series of operations for transporting the coil 2 by the coil car 30. It should be noted that the interference position shown in FIG. 7 refers to interference with the skid 20 when the coil car 30 is to enter the skid 20 on the entrance side or the skid 20 on the exit side of the second transport line 7. It means the position where can occur. Interference here may occur when, for example, the coil car 30 having the coil 2 placed on the coil cradle 35 is moved into the outlet skid 20 and the amount of rise of the coil cradle 35 is increased. This is a case where there is an interference between the skid 20 on the exit side and the coil 2 of the coil car 30 because of insufficient. In addition, when the coil car 30 is about to enter the entrance side skid 20 on which the coil 2 is placed, the amount of lowering of the coil cradle 35 is insufficient. This refers to a case where interference occurs between the coil 2 of the skid 20 and the coil cradle 35 of the coil car 30.

  First, each coil car 30 executes an operation S <b> 1 for causing the coil car 30 to travel and enter the skid 20 on the entry side from the standby position of the coil car 30. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 7A, the coil receiving table 35 is raised and the coil mounted on the coil mounting portion 23 c of the skid 20 on the entry side of the second transport line 7. 2 is received by the coil cradle 35.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 7A, after the coil 2 of the entrance skid 20 is received by the coil cradle 35, the traveling interference with the exit skid 20 is caused. The operation S3 is performed to travel to the interference position where the occurrence of the interference can occur. At this time, the operation S3-1 is performed such that the coil cradle 35 is raised while the coil car 30 is traveling.

  In the operation S <b> 3, after the end of the operation, the amount of ascending of the coil cradle 35 is insufficient, and thus interference may occur between the coil 2 on the coil cradle 35 and the exit-side skid 20. In order to solve this, when the coil car 30 travels to the interference position, it is determined whether or not there is interference with the skid 20, and when it is determined that interference occurs, the coil cradle 35 is moved up and down at the interference position. It is preferable to execute only S4. Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 7B, before the operation S3-1 is executed or in the middle of the operation S3-1, the operation S3-2 that only raises the coil cradle 35 to some extent is executed. As shown in (c), only the traveling speed of the coil car 30 is changed, and the operation S3-3 for raising the coil cradle 35 while the coil car 30 is traveling at a high traveling speed and the coil car 30 traveling at a slow traveling speed are performed. It is also possible to perform the operation S3-4 for raising the coil cradle 35 while making the coil cradle 35 move up and down so that the lifting operation S4 of the coil cradle 35 can be omitted. By these operations, the rising amount of the coil cradle 35 is adjusted so that the coil car 30 can enter the skid 20 on the exit side.

  Subsequently, an operation S5 for causing the coil car 30 to travel and enter the skid 20 is performed. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 7A, an operation S <b> 6 is performed in which the coil cradle 35 is lowered and the coil 2 is delivered to the coil placement portion 23 c of the outgoing skid 20.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 7A, after the coil 2 of the coil receiving base 35 is transferred to the outgoing skid 20, there is an interference caused by traveling with the incoming skid 20. An operation S7 is performed to travel to a possible interference position. At this time, the operation S7-1 is performed such that the coil cradle 35 is lowered while the coil car 30 is traveling.

  In operation S <b> 7, since the amount of lowering of the coil cradle 35 is insufficient after the end of the operation S <b> 7, the gap between the coil 2 placed on the coil placement portion 23 c of the entrance skid 20 and the coil cradle 35 is not reached. May cause interference. In order to solve this, as in the case of the operation S3, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the coil car 30 travels to the interference position, it is determined whether or not there is interference with the skid 20, and the interference If it is determined, it is preferable to execute only the operation S8 for raising and lowering the coil cradle 35 at the interference position. Incidentally, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the operation S7-2 for lowering only the coil cradle 35 may be executed before or during the operation S7-1, Operations S7-3 and S7-4 for causing the coil car 30 to travel at different travel speeds may be executed.

  Up to this point, a series of operations performed by the coil car 30 with the travel path between the other skids 20 except for the three entrance skids 20 are performed. Thus, these coil cars 30 are configured to transport the coil 2 from the entrance-side skid 20 to the other exit-side skid 20, and between the two skids 20 during the transport of the coil 2. The coil cradle 35 is configured to move up and down while traveling.

  Each coil car 30 is configured to perform such a series of operations at substantially the same timing within almost the same time, and thereby each time a series of operations is performed, the skid on the entry side of the second conveyance line 7 is configured. The coil 2 placed on 20 is intermittently transported to the skid 20 on the exit side of the second transport line 7 adjacent thereto. And the coil 2 conveyed from the 1st conveyance line 6 to the 2nd conveyance line 7 entrance side repeats such a series of operation | movement, and each coil car 30 repeats such a series of operation | movement from a winding position with the downcoiler 11 to a ground surface. It will be conveyed to the GL height.

  Incidentally, the coil 2 transported to the skid 20 located on the most exit side of the second transport line 7 is transferred to the transport device provided in the third transport line 8 by a coil lifter or the like, and then the coil storage yard. Or other processing equipment such as pickling equipment.

  In the coil conveyance system 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the coil conveyance distance L0 (mm) in the horizontal direction of the coil 2 conveyed by the plurality of coil cars 30 is set to the coil conveyance height h0 in the vertical direction. The coil ascending gradient, which is a value divided by (mm), is configured to be 100/1000 or more. As shown in FIG. 7, the value obtained by dividing the horizontal distance L1 between the center positions of the skids 20 adjacent in the second transport line 7 by the height difference h1 between these coil mounting portions 23c is 100. / 1000 or more.

  According to the coil conveyance system 1 according to the present invention, when the coil 2 is conveyed by the coil car 30, the traveling operation between the skids 20 and the raising / lowering operation of the coil cradle 35 can be performed simultaneously. For this reason, when the coil 2 is transported by the coil car 30 from the entrance side skid 20 to the exit side skid 20, it is high while suppressing an increase in the transport cycle time required for the coil car 30 to perform a series of operations. It is possible to realize a coil ascending gradient and to increase the conveying capability of the coil 2.

  Moreover, according to the coil conveyance system 1 which concerns on this invention, it is possible to convey along a conveyance line, raising the coil 2 without using a chain conveyor. For this reason, it is possible to increase the coil ascending gradient without causing a problem such as an increase in load on the chain accompanying an increase in the coil ascending gradient that occurs when a chain conveyor is used.

  Moreover, according to the coil conveyance system 1 which concerns on this invention, since it is possible to increase a coil raise gradient conventionally, the horizontal direction length of the installation required in order to raise the fixed height coil 2 is sufficient. Can be reduced as compared with the prior art. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size of the entire facility, to reduce the ground excavation range, and to save the space of the building, thereby reducing the facility cost and the construction cost.

  Moreover, in the coil conveyance system 1 which concerns on this invention, the rail 15 which the coil car 30 of the 2nd conveyance line 7 travels is comprised as the multistage rail 15 laid in different height. This makes it possible to shorten the distance from the rail 15 of the coil car 30 that is intended to transport the coil 2 to the high altitude side to the coil cradle 35 as compared with the case of the one-step rail 15. For this reason, since the distance from the rail 15 to the coil cradle 35 of the coil car 30 can be shortened, the position of the center of gravity in the vertical direction of the coil car 30 approaches the rail 15, and accordingly, the running operation of the coil car 30 and It is possible to stabilize the lifting operation of the coil cradle 35. In addition, since the traveling operation of the coil car 30 and the raising / lowering operation of the coil cradle 35 can be stabilized, the amount of increase in the coil per one coil car 30 can be reduced without causing instability of the operation of the coil car 30. It is possible to achieve a high coil climb gradient.

  Moreover, according to the coil conveyance system 1 which concerns on this invention, since it is supposed that the interstage shared skid 20A is arrange | positioned in the level | step-difference part 16 of the multistage rail 15, the upper and lower stage both sides which drive | work on the multistage rail 15 are used. Transfer of the coil 2 to and from the coil car 30 can be performed smoothly as in the case of using the normal skid 20B.

  Moreover, according to the coil conveyance system 1 which concerns on this invention, since the 2nd conveyance line 7 for raising the coil 2 can be made into linear form, the other equipment which exists in the direction orthogonal to the 2nd conveyance line 7 It is possible to obtain the above-described effects while suppressing interference.

  Moreover, according to the coil conveyance system 1 which concerns on this embodiment, when the coil car 30 drive | works to an interference position, the presence or absence of interference with the skid 20 is judged, and when it judges that it interferes, the coil base 35 Only the operations S4 and S8 for raising and lowering are performed. For this reason, when the coil 2 is transported by the coil car 30, collision between the coil 2 on the coil cradle 35 and the skid 20 or collision between the coil cradle 35 and the coil 2 on the skid 20 is prevented. It becomes possible to prevent.

  As mentioned above, although the example of embodiment of this invention was demonstrated in detail, all the embodiment mentioned above showed only the example of actualization in implementing this invention, and these are the technical aspects of this invention. The range should not be construed as limiting.

  For example, the conveyance line in which the coil conveyance system 1 according to the present invention is used is not limited to the one that conveys the coil 2 wound up by the mandrel 13 of the downcoiler 11 to the ground surface GL.

  Hereinafter, the effects of the present invention will be further described with reference to examples. In this example, it was decided to check whether the coil ascending gradient could be 100/1000 or more using the coil transfer system 1 in the second transfer line 7 as shown in FIGS.

  In this example, the coil 2 having a maximum weight of 27 TON, an outer diameter of 1150 to 2300 mmφ, and a plate width of 550 to 1580 mm was used. In addition, a coil car 30 having a maximum horizontal traveling speed of 40 mpm (meter per minutes) and a maximum lifting speed of the coil cradle 35 of 4.5 mpm (meter per minutes) was used. Each coil car 30 is set so that the coil cradle 35 passes through a route as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, the horizontal distance L1 between the center positions of the skids 20 adjacent to each other in the second transport line 7 is set to 7.2 m, and the height difference between these coil placement portions 23c. h1 was set to 1.1 m, and h1 / L1 was set to 152/1000. This means that the coil rising gradient represented by h0 / L0 is 152/1000 as shown in FIG.

  As a result, it was possible to carry out the work of transferring the coil 2 from the first transfer line 6 to the second transfer line 8 under the condition that the transfer cycle time was 55 seconds.
