Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for changing driving rollers of drivers of a rolling mill plant.
  • drivers metal strip is clamped between a pair of rollers and driven or deflected.
  • Drivers are typically used in rolling trains of rolling mill plants, for example hot-rolling mill plants, where they are arranged upstream of rolled-strip coilers of the coiling stations in order to set the strip tension upstream of the coiler by means of two rolls, namely the driving roller and the supporting driving roller.
  • Directional drivers have the additional task of reducing lateral creeping of the rolled strip prior to coiling.
  • the pivotable driving roller is actuated and adjusted toward the stationary supporting driving roller in such a way that, on account of the position of the driving roller with respect to the supporting driving roller, the rolled strip undergoes a desired strip tension and a desired lateral displacement.
  • Such directional drivers are known for example from EP747147B1 or AT500689B1.
  • EP747147B1 shows a directional driver, the pivotable driving roller of which is arranged mounted between two rockers by means of the two ends of the driving roller axle. The two rockers are connected rigidly to a torsion spring of a frame which forms a rotary axle for the rockers.
  • AT500689B1 discloses a similar directional driver, in which, however, the rockers can be pivoted independently of one another on a rotary axle of a frame.
  • the driving roller and the supporting driving roller of a directional driver have to be cleaned and polished regularly, since, for example on account of carbon caking, particles of dirt present on the strip to be coiled, or surface defects in the strip to be coiled that are caused during the initial pass, the surface of the driving roller and of the supporting roller become uneven, and this can lead in turn to damage to the surface of the strip to be coiled.
  • the driving roller axle is mounted on a bearing region of the rockers, with the driving roller being located in each case underneath the rocker.
  • the bearings of the driving roller are set so as to be free from play, for example by spring-activated balancing.
  • the pair of rockers on which the driving roller is mounted is pivoted by means of rocker cylinders into an intermediate position; this is likewise necessary for exchanging the driving roller.
  • the intermediate position is often reached after the pair of rockers has been pivoted through 180°.
  • the driving roller and the supporting driving roller are usually cleaned and sanded or polished by hand in the installed state.
  • Such a driver for a steel strip coiler has at least one supporting driving roller mounted on a frame, and at least one driving roller, which can be adjusted with respect to the supporting driving roller and is mounted on at least one rocker connected to the frame, the driving roller being attached to a bearing region of the rocker, wherein the bearing region is open for the insertion or removal of the driving roller toward the side and/or upwardly when the rocker is placed in the operating position, and the driver has a fixing mechanism for fixing the driving roller to the bearing region.
  • the bearing region should be understood as meaning the region of the rocker in which the driving roller is attached to the rocker.
  • the bearing region is open for the insertion or removal of the driving roller toward the side and/or upwardly when the rocker is positioned in the operating position, and therefore the bearing region does not prevent the driving roller from being uninstalled toward the side and/or upwardly.
  • a driving roller can therefore be removed from the rocker toward the side and/or upwardly as required without the rocker together with the driving roller having to be removed substantially from the operating position or without the rocker together with the driving roller having to be completely dismantled.
  • the operating position should be understood as meaning a position of the rocker which is taken up in normal operation of the driver.
  • the driver has a fixing mechanism for fixing the driving roller to the bearing region. As a result, it is ensured during operation that the driving roller does not escape undesirably toward the side and/or upwardly. In the fixed state, controlled displacement of the driving roller into different operating positions is possible.
  • the positioning of the driving roller with respect to the supporting driving roller in the fixed state can be changed by changing the setting of the fixing mechanism into different positions.
  • the fixing mechanism comprises a displaceable bar, which can preferably be fixed to the rocker.
  • the fixing mechanism comprises a swing-action device, the parts of which can be swung about at least one axle fastened to the rocker and which can be fixed to the rocker.
  • a swing-action device the parts of which can be swung about at least one axle fastened to the rocker and which can be fixed to the rocker.
  • it may be two arms which can be swung into one another and which are locked by a displaceable wedge. Each of the arms swings in this case about a different axle.
  • the supporting driving roller is located underneath the driving roller. It is therefore not possible to remove the supporting driving roller upwardly while the driving roller is installed in the driver. If the driving roller has been removed, the path for removing the supporting driving roller upwardly is open.
  • the distance between the rockers is preferably greater than the length of the supporting driving roller. This ensures that the supporting driving roller can be removed upwardly on account of the free space caused by the removal of the driving roller.
  • the rockers in the operating position is less than the length of the supporting driving roller, it is preferred for at least one of the rockers to be able to be displaced or pivoted in relation to the other rocker when the driving roller has been uninstalled. As a result of this, the supporting driving roller can be removed.
  • the steel strip coiler is a steel strip coiler for hot strip.
  • the driver is a directional driver.
  • the driving roller and the supporting driving roller are arranged in a holding device.
  • the holding device which may be for example a holding frame, thus contains both the driving roller and the supporting driving roller.
  • the supporting driving roller can be mounted on the frame in a stationary or displaceable manner.
  • the driving roller axle and/or the supporting driving roller axle about which the driving roller or the supporting driving roller rotates consist(s) of at least two driving roller axle parts and/or supporting driving roller axle parts, wherein at least one of the driving roller axle parts is configured as a shaft stub which is releasably fastened—for example via a connecting flange, a perforated disk having displaceable drive pins, or a claw coupling—to the cylindrical body of the driving roller or supporting driving roller.
  • the shaft stub can be configured as a hollow shaft, into which a motor-driven shaft can be introduced for driving the driving roller or the supporting driving roller. This makes it possible to remove the driving roller and/or supporting driving roller quickly from the driver, and this reduces a safety risk caused by time pressure while changing the driving roller.
  • the supporting driving roller can be removed from the driver laterally in the direction of its longitudinal axis. It can also be introduced into the driver laterally in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
  • one end of the rockers can be pivoted about a rotary axle while the other end of the rockers is connected to an actuating device such as, for example, a pressure-medium cylinder, preferably a hydraulic cylinder.
  • an actuating device such as, for example, a pressure-medium cylinder, preferably a hydraulic cylinder.
  • the rockers can be pivoted about their rotary axle, for example in order to allow the removal of the driving roller or in order to control or regulate the distance between the driving roller and the supporting driving roller.
  • the bearing region of the driving roller is located between the pivotable end of the rocker and the end of the rocker connected to the actuating device.
  • the rockers can be pivoted about a rotary axle arranged in a rotary axle region of the rockers, and they are connected in an actuating region to an actuating device.
  • the bearing region of the driving roller can, as in EP747147B1 or AT500689B1, be located between the rotary axle region and the actuating region.
  • the rotary axle region can be located between the bearing region and the actuating region.
  • a further aspect of the internal state of the art is a method for removing a driving roller from a driver according to the internal state of the art.
  • Opening the fixing mechanism should be understood as meaning that the fixing of the driving roller to the bearing region is released.
  • the supporting driving roller in a driver is secured in the driver by fixing devices in order that its position does not change at all in normal operation or its position does not change beyond an acceptable degree.
  • the supporting driving roller can in this case be fixed so that no movement at all is possible. It can also be displaceable to an acceptable or desired degree. The degree of displaceability that is acceptable or desired depends on the respective operating state. In order to be able to change the deflection forces of the driver in a manner dependent on the strip thickness and strip quality, it is possible for example to change the distance between the axles of the driving roller and the supporting driving roller to a certain degree.
  • One embodiment of the method according to the internal state of the art is characterized in that, after the removal of the driving roller, it additionally comprises the steps of
  • the supporting driving roller can also be removed upwardly from the driver.
  • the supporting driving roller can be pulled laterally, that is to say in the direction of its longitudinal axis, out of the driver in order to remove it. This can take place before or after the removal according to the invention of the driving roller. It can also take place during the removal of the driving roller from the driver; in this way, the driving roller and the supporting driving roller can be removed more quickly than if the two removals take place in succession.
  • the method according to the internal state of the art during the removal of the driving roller, then additionally comprises the steps of
  • the driving roller and the supporting driving roller are removed from the driver in pairs by removing a holding device in which a pair consisting of a driving roller and a supporting driving roller is arranged.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method which, specifically when using the driver described above according to the internal state of the art, make it possible for driving rollers and supporting driving rollers to be changed in a way that is more flexible and quicker in comparison with the prior art, as well as for them to be worked in the direct proximity of the driver.

  • driving rollers are, for example, sanded and/or polished, or driving rollers are assembled or disassembled. Driving rollers prepared in this way can subsequently be inserted into the driving roller storing station. In the driving roller storing station, there may possibly also be driving rollers that have not yet ever been prepared or used.
