  • the invention relates to a rolling mill for rolling elongated material, having multiple roll stands disposed in a line, forming a central caliber opening, whereby the roll stands are disposed in a stand position, in each instance, and can be displaced into at least one change position, in each instance, and, in particular, to a rolling mill in a compact construction, for rolling elongated material, having multiple motor-driven roll stands disposed in a line, forming a central caliber opening, in a C-stand that can be alternately equipped.
  • the invention relates to a roll stand having at least two driven rolls ( 2 , 3 ) and having at least two intakes, as well as a roll stand having rolls for absorbing rolling forces that occur when rolling elongated material, as well as to a method for replacing roll stands ( 12 ) in a rolling mill.
  • the invention is particularly to be used for stretch-reducing rolling mills (SRW-BCO), dimensional rolling mills (MW-BCO), and extracting rolling mills (AZW-BCO).
  • SRW-BCO stretch-reducing rolling mills
  • MW-BCO dimensional rolling mills
  • AZW-BCO extracting rolling mills
  • Rolling mills for rolling elongated material are known not only with two-roll stands but also with three-roll stands or four-roll stands, whereby it is also known to incline the rolls to change the caliber diameter.
  • the offset is 90°
  • three-roll stands it is 60°
  • four-roll stands it is 45°.
  • the invention is based on the task of making available a rolling mill of the type stated, a roll stand of the type stated, as well as a method of the type stated, for replacing roll stands in a rolling mill, which allow the most operationally reliable possible replacement of the roll stands, with the most compact possible design.
  • a rolling mill for rolling elongated material having multiple roll stands disposed in a line and forming a central caliber opening, whereby the roll stands are disposed in a stand position, in each instance, and can be displaced to at least one change position, in each instance, and whereby the rolling mill is characterized in that each stand position has an intake coupling, and the intake coupling has a coupling part on the roll stand side, as well as a coupling part on the drive side, and the drive-side coupling part is provided in axially fixed manner on the stand position.
  • a rolling mill having an intake coupling can also advantageously be configured by means of two intake couplings per roll stand and per stand position, whereby the two intake couplings are in effect axial to their axes of rotation, in each instance, and the axes of rotation are oriented parallel, and whereby the two intake couplings are disposed on one side of the line.
  • a roll stand or a rolling mill according to this configuration can be set up or put into operation in just as simple and operationally reliable a manner as when only a single intake coupling is provided, because the intake couplings, which are oriented relative to one another, can be handled like a single coupling.
  • the two intake couplings which can have a common drive or also two individual drives, can be coupled in a single assembly step, whereby in particular, only the roll stand needs to be moved.
  • the forces or moments that must be transferred from the drive to the roll stand by way of a single coupling are reduced accordingly.
  • the coupling diameters, in particular, are reduced, thereby allowing the roll stands to be built narrower, accordingly.
  • a drive having a drive motor can furthermore be provided on at least one stand position, which motor is connected with a distributor gear mechanism, which has at least two power take-offs, whereby the power take-offs, in each instance, have a drive-side coupling part of an intake coupling.
  • the drive-side coupling parts can be oriented parallel and in the same direction on the rolling mill.
  • a parallel and same-direction orientation of these drive-side coupling parts furthermore advantageously brings with it a great degree of flexibility in the selection of the drives.
  • a single or also multiple drives can optionally be coupled with the roll stand, whereby in particular, only the roll stand needs to be moved for coupling-in, but this does not necessarily have to be provided in this manner.
  • a “distributor gear mechanism” refers to any gear mechanism that has more power take-offs than drives, independent of whether a branching of power—by means of different speeds of rotation at the power take-offs—takes place.
  • a distributor gear mechanism can also be a helical gear mechanism.
  • the roll stands in each instance, are disposed in a stand position, in each instance, and can be moved to at least one change position, in each instance, and whereby precisely one change position is provided per stand position, and a change position of a first stand position is provided on one side of the line, and a change position of a second stand position is provided on the other side of the line.
  • the change positions with reference to the stand positions allow a particularly compact rolling mill, in which a change in roll stands can be undertaken in particularly operationally reliable and fast manner, accordingly.
  • the construction length of the rolling mill is reduced, because space for additional modules does not have to be kept available on both sides of the roll stands. Free spaces are obtained particularly in the change positions that are present on both sides of the line, in the axial direction relative to the change positions, which spaces can additionally be utilized for assembly, thereby making it possible to increase the operational reliability, particularly during a stand change, in advantageous manner, if this space is not being used for other units.
  • the stand positions along the line can be numbered continuously for a rolling mill, whereby all the odd-numbered change position are provided on one side of the line, and all the even-numbered change position are provided on the other side of the line. It is immediately evident that in the case of this configuration, the stand positions can be disposed in particularly space-saving manner, in the rolling direction, by means of the alternating arrangement of the change positions, and thus uniform construction space is made available on both sides of the change positions, for assembly and set-up work.
  • the change positions of the roll stands in each instance, can be provided on a change carriage, whereby the change carriage has at least one further change position.
  • This further change position serves for keeping available a roll stand to be put in place.
  • a roll stand to be removed from the rolling mill after rolling can thus be guided to a first change position, and afterward, the roll stand kept available at the further change position can be guided back to the stand position immediately, as soon as the change carriage has been moved accordingly.
  • the set-up times at the rolling mill are reduced to a minimum.
  • the rolling mill can be put back into operation immediately after the change in the roll stands, whereby the removed roll stand can be guided to its further use, for example a maintenance procedure, after the rolling mill has been put into operation.
  • a rolling mill having a change carriage that has two change positions can advantageously be configured in such a manner that the change carriage has at least four change positions, one change position and one further change position, in each instance, for two stand positions, in each instance, whereby the two change positions are spaced apart from one another in accordance with the distance between the two stand positions, and the two further change positions are spaced apart from one another in accordance with the distance between the two stand positions. It is evident that in this way, replacement of two roll stands can advantageously take place simultaneously at the two stand positions. It is furthermore also possible that the change carriages can have change positions and further change positions for all the stand positions present in a rolling mill that can be equipped from one side of the line, at the same time.
  • the change positions and the further change positions are spaced apart from one another, relative to one another, in each instance, at least by the width of a roll stand, preferably by the distance between the stand positions.
  • a change carriage having two or more change positions is advantageous, even independent of the other characteristics, for a rolling mill for rolling elongated material, having multiple roll stands disposed in a line, forming a central caliber opening, whereby the roll stands are disposed in a stand position, in each instance, and can be moved to at least one change position, in each instance. This is independent of whether the two change positions are used only for one stand position or for two stand positions.
  • At least one roll stand is disposed on a change shoe, and the change shoe can be moved on a change track that is inclined from the horizontal.
  • the use of a change shoe in connection with a change track offers the advantage of positioning the roll stand within the rolling mill in simple and operationally reliable manner, particularly at the stand position of the rolling mill, even if the rolls of the individual roll stands are inclined relative to one another in their rolling position.
  • the angle of inclination can be predetermined by the inclination of the change track, which can also be adjustable, if necessary, so that the roll stands themselves can be structured in simple manner, and preferably can even be structured to be identical to one another or very similar.
  • positioning of the roll stand with the change shoe advantageously takes place at a right angle to the rolling direction of the rolling mill.
  • the roll stand which contains rolls as the rolling tools, is oriented relative to the rolled material, and requires no or extremely slight adjustment work, in the case of play-free displacement of the change shoe on the change track.
  • the inclination of the change track relative to the horizontal already brings about operationally reliable positioning of the roll stand that can be moved on the change track, which stand is accelerated downward along the change track, in the stand position, by means of its own gravity, and, in this manner, can easily be positioned, in operationally reliable manner, on a stop, a contact surface, a brake block or brake wedge, or something similar. Further securing to prevent unintentional displacement of the roll stand can be, but does not have to be guaranteed by means of additional securing means.
  • a rolling mill in an advantageous embodiment, can have a change track that has a region inclined relative to the horizontal, as well as an essentially horizontal region.
  • set-up work in particular, can be undertaken in simple and operationally reliable manner.
  • the use of energy for horizontal displacements is minimal, so that in this region, displacement can take place with correspondingly little energy expenditure.
  • the essentially horizontal region of the change track is provided on a change carriage.
  • This particularly allows a simple structure of the change carriage, whereby a roll stand provided on the change carriage can easily be held in position by means of corresponding locking devices, such as, for example, wedges, brake blocks, stops, or the like.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the rolling mill furthermore results if at least one roll stand has an intake and the intake can be coupled with a drive motor by way of an axial intake coupling, whereby the intake coupling has a coupling part on the roll stand side and a coupling part on the drive side, and whereby the axis of rotation of the intake coupling is oriented parallel to the change track.
  • This embodiment of the rolling mill allows a particularly simple and, above all, automatic coupling possibility of the roll stand or of the intake with the drive motor or a gear mechanism of the drive motor, and is correspondingly advantageous independent of the other characteristics of the present invention in the case of a rolling mill for rolling elongated material, having multiple roll stands disposed in a line, forming a central caliber opening, whereby the roll stands, in each instance, are disposed in a stand position and can be moved along a change track, in each instance, to at least one change position, in order to guarantee fast and operationally reliable roll replacement.
  • a rolling mill can advantageously have at least one roll stand extraction apparatus having a hydraulic extraction cylinder.
  • such an extraction unit is advantageous for fast and operationally reliable set-up of a rolling mill, because manual set-up, for example by manually hooking chains and the like in place, can be eliminated.
  • a roll stand having at least two driven rolls and having at least two intakes is also proposed, which is characterized in that each intake has a coupling part on the roll stand side, and the coupling parts on the roll stand side are oriented parallel and in the same direction. It is advantageous that in this way, the roll stand can be coupled from one side, with a drive or also with multiple drives, in structurally simple, space-saving and operationally reliable manner, whereby in particular, only the roll stand needs to be moved. However, a movement of the roll stand for coupling does not necessarily have to be provided.
  • a drive for coupling the coupling parts in each instance, can be provided on a roll stand, for example, or also on a stand position, axial to the roll stand, but this requires further units and thus brings about susceptibility to errors and an increased construction space.
  • a roll stand having at least four driven rolls is proposed, to accomplish the task stated initially, which roll stand is characterized in that two rolls, in each instance, are mounted on a common stand part, whereby the two stand parts in turn are mounted on a stand body.
  • the task stated initially is accomplished in that great stand moments and rolling forces can be absorbed and distributed in particularly advantageous and operationally reliable manner, by means of the roll stand.
  • An intake as well as two rolls oriented perpendicular to one another can be provided on a roll stand having four driven rolls, per stand part, in particularly advantageous manner.
  • This allows a compact and simple arrangement, particularly also with regard to the gear mechanisms between intake and rolls.
  • the rolls can be connected to act with one another by way of two bevel gears that mesh with one another, preferably at a cone angle of 45°.
  • the two bevel gears of a roll stand that mesh with one another can be disposed in a cassette.
  • a roll stand having rolls for absorbing rolling forces that occur during rolling of elongated material
  • which roll stand is characterized by a stand body that has at least two metal stand sheets, whereby the metal stand sheets are disposed parallel to one another and perpendicular to the rolling forces.
  • the provision of two metal stand sheets according to the proposed arrangement brings about a very stable embodiment of a roll stand, which furthermore can be produced with little material expenditure and consequently in very cost-advantageous manner.
  • bracket pieces can be provided on a roll stand, in accordance with the number of rolls, which pieces absorb the rolling forces and transfer them to the metal stand sheets.
  • This embodiment of a roll stand also ensures operationally reliable and long use during rolling, in that the rolling forces that occur can be uniformly transferred to the roll stand.
  • a roll stand for absorbing rolling forces that occur during rolling of elongated material, which roll stand is characterized by a hydraulic overload safety device.
  • These hydraulic overload safety devices which can be provided in accordance with the number of rolls on a roll stand, make it possible, on the one hand, to put roll stand back into an operationally ready state in simple manner. This can take place after set-up of a rolling mill with a roll stand, or also after a shut-off due to an overload, in that pressure is simply built up accordingly.
  • hydraulic overload cylinders of at least one roll stand can communicate with one another, they can advantageously allow simultaneous triggering of all the existing overload cylinders, for example in the event of a malfunction.
  • a method for replacing roll stands in a rolling mill which is characterized in that at least one roll stand is moved along an inclined change track.
  • simple control of the displacement path is made possible, in advantageous manner, particularly even if a coupling on the roll stand is supposed to be closed or opened in this connection.
  • An existing coupling can close automatically in this case, due to the displacement along an inclined change track, and can also remain closed automatically.
  • the roll stand is lowered into a rolling position along the inclined change track. It is immediately evident that lowering the roll stand along the inclined change track, into a rolling position, allows automatic stopping or positioning of the roll stand, because automatic displacement of the stand out of the change track is prevented under the effect of gravity, as was already explained in detail above.
  • a method for replacing roll stands in a rolling mill which method is characterized in that at least one roll stand is displaced from its rolling position toward one side, and a further roll stand is displaced from its rolling position toward another side.
  • a method for replacing roll stands in a rolling mill is proposed, which is characterized in that at least two roll stands are displaced from their rolling position to a common side and to change positions that are spaced apart from one another by at least one roll stand width.
  • the “roll stand width” of the roll stands is the longitudinal expanse of the roll stands along a rolling axis or the rolling direction.
  • the roll stand width extends axially to a main expanse direction of the rolling mill.
  • two roll stands are displaced by a roll stand width, together with at least one further roll stand, before the further roll stand is then displaced into its rolling position.
  • This displacement exerted axially along the rolling mill, brings about positioning of the further roll stand, without the first two roll stands having to be removed.
  • very fast replacement of the roll stands takes place, and only a minimal expenditure of time has to be applied for this, just like the set-up time, and also the entire space that is needed for this process can be reduced to a minimum.
  • a method for replacing roll stands in a rolling mill is proposed, which is characterized in that at least one intake of a roll stand is connected with a drive on a roll stand, by way of an intake coupling, in that a drive-side coupling part remains fixed in place, and the roll stand, with the coupling part on the roll stand side, is displaced in such a manner that the intake coupling closes.

  • the drive motors 51 rest on a foundation 50 that also carries the stand positions 57 .
  • the roll stands 12 in turn comprise four rolls, in each instance, which form a caliber for rolling material to be rolled.
  • All the roll stands 12 according to this embodiment have the same construction, aside from the caliber diameters, which narrow in this exemplary embodiment, in a rolling direction, from roll stand 12 to roll stand 12 , and can change their caliber in a different form in other exemplary embodiments.
  • the roll stands 12 of the even-numbered stand positions 57 are disposed at an incline, with reference to the horizontal, in this exemplary embodiment, in the rolling mill frame, within the rolling line, by 22.5° relative to a rolling axis corresponding to the rolling direction 17 . Accordingly, the roll stands 12 of the odd-numbered stand positions 57 are disposed offset with reference to the horizontal, in the rolling mill frame, within the rolling line, by ⁇ 22.5° relative to a rolling axis that corresponds to the rolling direction 17 . Accordingly, a roll stand 12 is offset about the rolling axis by 45°, in each instance, relative to the next adjacent roll stand 12 .

  • This special change apparatus allows stand replacement within a few minutes, in the most confined space possible.

  • a change carriage 54 that can be displaced on tracks, which are not numbered, and are supported by the foundation, is situated on each side of the rolling mill, for accommodating not only the roll stands 12 that are in use until a replacement takes place, but also the roll stands 12 being prepared for use.

  • intake couplings 56 automatically couple, in order to transfer the drive power of the drive motors 51 to the roll stands 12 .
  • the automatic coupling of the intake couplings is facilitated by means of the slanted position of the change track 60 , of 22.5° or ⁇ 22.5°, respectively, in the region of the rolling position 61 , because no further forces are required for the coupling process, due to gravity.
  • the roll stand extraction apparatus 55 accordingly needs only a fraction of drive power for moving the roll stands 12 into the rolling positions 57 , as compared with the drive power for moving the roll stands 12 out after use.
  • the inclined change track 60 brings about great operational reliability during rolling, because the roll stands 12 lie against the stand position 57 , in each instance, because of their own weight, and are positioned in this manner.
  • an additional securing device for positioning the roll stands 12 can be eliminated.
  • the change shoes 53 preferably remain on the change carriage 54 in this exemplary embodiment, when the roll stands 12 are taken off the change carriage 54 . Because of the two change positions 58 , 59 on the common change carriage 54 , it becomes clear that the set-up time and therefore the shut-down time of the rolling mill are reduced to a minimum, because the actual transport of the roll stands 12 to the rolling mill and away from the rolling mill is uncoupled from the actual set-up.
  • the alternating arrangement of the roll stands 12 along the rolling line or along the rolling direction 17 offers the further advantage that has already been mentioned, that the roll stands are disposed offset by 45° relative to the rolling axis, in each instance, as compared with one another. In this way, a burr that might be formed during rolling is smoothed again as it passes through the next roll stand 12 , because abutting edges of the rolls 2 , 3 , 16 used in each roll stand 12 are in a different position, namely offset by 45°, at every passage through a roll stand 12 .
  • the alternating orientation of the change tracks 60 in each instance, furthermore directly produces the result, in this exemplary embodiment, that sufficient space for a further roll stand 12 remains in one of the change positions 39 , between the roll stands 12 in the individual change positions 58 , because at this level, the stand position 57 provided there is equipped or refitted from the other side.

  • an overload cylinder that is not shown in FIG. 4 acts on the eccentric bushing 9 , to produce the contact pressure.
  • the two intakes 1 of a four-roll stand shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 having four driven rolls 2 , 3 , but also the four-roll stand explained above, having two driven rolls 2 , have axes of rotation 15 of their intake couplings that are oriented parallel to one another. This arrangement guarantees automatic closing of the intake coupling during set-up and lowering of the roll stand 21 onto the change track 60 , into the rolling position 61 .
  • the four-roll stand shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 having two intakes 1 and four driven rolls 2 , 3 , in deviation from the three-roll stand according to FIG. 3 , has two roll units, in order to absorb great stand torques and rolling forces.
  • Two rolls 2 , 3 that stand perpendicular to one another are driven, in each instance, by way of two bevel gears 7 , 8 that mesh with one another, by way of an intake 1 , in each instance, whereby the bevel gear angle amounts to 45°.
  • the bevel gears 7 , 8 that lie on the inside, in each instance, are mounted separately in a cassette 6 that is guided in the roll stand in displaceable manner. Furthermore, the bevel gears 7 , 8 sit at the end of short shaft pieces of a related quick-release axle 4 , 5 , in each instance, so that they can be displaced with a multi-wedge profile; the other end of the axle sits on the roll shafts with an inner multi-wedge profile.
  • the shaft pieces are mounted in the eccentric bushings 9 by means of roller bearings.
  • the cassettes 6 are also displaced, and thus the bevel gears 7 , 8 that are firmly mounted in them are also displaced, and thereby shift in the multi-wedge profile of the roll ends.
  • the eccentric bushings 9 are provided with a flattened region, on both sides, on the side that faces away from the rolled material. The center of the eccentric device is shifted in the roll stand, in the rolling direction 17 . The inclination of the rolls 2 , 3 or the rotation of the eccentric devices takes place by way of threaded pins in the roll housing, which press on one side of the flattened region. Brackets with threaded pins enclose the flattened region of the eccentric bushing 9 .
  • Spur gears that mesh with a hollow gear sit on the threaded pins.
  • the threaded pins are rotated with the spur gears set on them, in the same path and at the same time, by means of rotating the hollow gear in the circumference direction, thereby changing the radial position of the rolls.
  • the roll shaft units, configured as quick-release axles 4 , 5 are braced with a threaded rod 10 and a clamp nut 10 .
  • the roll stand 12 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 8 , has two metal stand sheets 13 that enclose four bracket pieces 14 .
  • the metal stand sheets 13 absorb the rolling forces.
  • the bracket pieces 14 are machined before they are connected, preferably welded, and lie firmly in the metal stand sheet 13 that encloses them, with their shoulders, in this exemplary embodiment. It is understood that in place of such a stand construction, a conventional roll stand, for example as a cast body, can also be used.
  • the cassettes 6 form separate stand parts, in this connection, so that in the present case, two separate stand parts are provided, which have an intake 1 , in each instance, which is connected, in each instance, with two rolls 2 , 3 oriented perpendicular to one another.
  • the cassettes 6 or the separate stand part in turn are mounted, once again, on the stand body formed by the metal stand sheets 13 .
  • two rolls that lie opposite one another, in each instance are provided in a stand part. Great stand moments and rolling forces can be absorbed by means of the separate stand parts.
  • hydraulic overload cylinders 20 are provided, thereby making it possible to implement an overload security device that can rapidly be put back into its operational state, which can be done in simple manner, for example by means of making the corresponding pressure available. Also, a corresponding signal can be picked up quickly and in operationally reliable manner, and can be used for further reactions, such as shut-off of the entire rolling mill, for example.
  • the hydraulic overload cylinders 20 consist, as is particularly shown in detail in FIG. 9 , of cylinder bodies 26 , cylinder lids 21 , and pistons 25 .
  • a roll stand 12 one of the rolls 2 , 3 , in each instance, has two overload cylinders 20 , which act on the eccentric bushings 9 .
  • a roll stand 12 of a four-roll stand accordingly has eight separate overload cylinders 20 .
  • a holding pin 23 having a twist prevention device 22 passes through the cylinder lid 21 .
  • fine-tuning of a gap between a guide piece 27 of the overload cylinder 20 and the eccentric bushing 9 that lies below it takes place.
  • Oil or grease that is under high pressure is applied to a cylinder capacity 24 formed between the piston 25 and the cylinder lid 21 , in this exemplary embodiment, whereby other media can also be used accordingly, if necessary.
  • the overload cylinders 20 are connected with one another by means of pipelines, by way of pressure connectors 28 , in this exemplary embodiment, but this can also be eliminated, if necessary.
  • overload cylinders 20 are adjusted, by means of a common valve, in such a manner that they open at a set parting force, and the guide piece 27 releases the eccentric bushings 9 with the inner parts. This takes place, in contrast to the conventional shear pins, in which the pins do not necessarily all break at the same time, either at the same time or in particular, also in reversible manner.
  • Such an overload security device particularly also a synchronization with regard to all the rolls of a roll stand, is particularly advantageous for extraction rolling mills.
