Definitions

  • This invention relates to vertical rolling mills, and more particularly to mills of the type having multiple-grooved rolls and provision for moving the rolls vertically in order to bring selected grooves into position for operation upon the stock as it travels longitudinally along a horizontal path.
  • Fig. 1 is a vertical section through a vertical rolling mill, the section being taken on the line I-I of Fig.
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view in section showing a portion of the roll-driving mechanism
  • Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line 4--4 of Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the mill, taken in the direction of the arrow 5 in Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 6 is a section taken on the line 6--6 of Fig. 5;
  • Fig. '7 is a section taken on the line 1--1 of Fig. 5.
  • the embodiment illustrated comprises a fixed main housing l0 of the open top type. including four upright posts I I arranged in two pairs at opposite sides of the mill pass line. The tops of the posts VI I in each pair are connected bv horizontal housing caps I2 which are releasablv secured to the posts by wedges I4. Each pair of posts II defines a main housing window l5.
  • a roll housing or cage I6 is slidable vertically within the windows I5.
  • This housing comprises two vertically spaced hollow frames I8, each of generally rectangular shape to provide a window I9, these frames being integrally connected by four vertical posts 20.
  • each of the roll housing windows I9 there are slidably mounted two bearings 26 for the roll necks 21 of two grooved vertical rolls 28. These bearings are arranged to be adjusted by any suitable and well-known means including horizontal screws 30 mounted in the end portions of the frames I8.
  • the bearings 23 are constructed to receive radial loads only, and the weight of the rolls is carried by suitable thrust bearings 3
  • a driving mechanism comprising a gear housing 33 which encloses a pair of intermeshing vertical pinions 34.
  • One of these pinions has a downwardly extending shaft 35 on which there is mounted a bevel gear 3l, this gear being driven by a bevel pinion 38 carried by a horizontal shaft 39.
  • Each pinion 34 is provided with an upwardly extending shaft or neck 4I surrounded by a sleeve 42, each shaft 4I having a transverse notch 43 in its upper end shaped to provide.
  • the inner surfaces of the slippers are plane, and between them is located a transverse hammer head 46 on the lower end of an upright coupling spindle 41.
  • a similar transverse hammer head 48 is provided on the upper end of each spindle.
  • the spindles 41 are operatively connected to the respective rolls 26 in such a manner as to permit vertical adiustment of the roll housing is and the rolls.
  • a coupling bearing carrier 5. in the form of a hollow horizontal rectangular frame is mounted beneath the roll housing lil and arranged for vertical sliding movement in the windows I 5 oi Ir-he main housing Ill.
  • T-slots 5I are provided in the opposite ends of the carrier to receive souare heads 52 on the upper ends of two vertical screws 54. These screws eyteud through threaded holes in worm gears 55 which are rotatably supported in casings 56 and arranged to be driven by worms (not shown) carried by a horizontal rotatable shaft 58.
  • This shaft is driven by a reversible electric motor 59 through a chain-and-sprocket connection BIJ.
  • the carrier is provided with an elongated window 62 forming a guideway within which two coupling bearings 63 are mounted for horizontal sliding movement in the direction of roll adjustment, these 'bearings -beingjlocated directly beneath the respective lower rollneckbearings 216.
  • the coupling bearings 63 have laterally extending flanges 64 at their upper ends which overlap the sides of the carrier Window 62. These flanges serve to support feet which depend from the lower frame I8 of the .roll housing t6.
  • each coupling bearing there is mounted a coupling element Gl which rotates aboutavertical axis and serves to transmit driving torque to thefroll thereabove.
  • each lcoupling element comprises 'an outer cylindrical sleeve 68 and an inner member 69 'tting lclosely within the sleeve, these parts 4being fastened together by welding or other suitable-means.
  • An outwardly extending flange '-18 is provided on the upper end of the sleeve to engage "thecoupling bearing 63 and thus'support the weight of the coupling element.
  • the vinner member 69 there is 'provided a cylindrical Ycounterbore 12 and a socket 13.
  • the counterbore ⁇ f'l2 fis shaped to receive, preferably iwith aclose fit, va cylindrical extension 214 on the roll neck 21, while the socket 'I3 is shaped to receive the 'usual wabbler 15 on 4the 'lower lend of the Vroll neck.
  • the Wabbler should nt the socket with Aa slight clearance, 'so
  • the extension YVT4 will be free to align the coupling element correctlyr with the roll.
  • a vertically slidable member "I9 comprising two spaced vertical plates '80 having plane outer surfaces in contact with the surfaces "f1 of the s'lot. These plates are integrally connected ⁇ at their upper ends by a horizontal platel
  • the inner surfaces 'of ⁇ these slippers rare plane, and between them there is located the hammer head 480i the adjacent spindle 4l.
  • the slippers S3 are connected to the hammer :head by a transverse pivot pin 84.
  • the spindle-47 has adrivingconnection-withthe coupling element 6.1 lwhich is not only vertically telescopic but also universal, since the spindle can swingr in one vertical-plane about the pin y84, the hammer head turning between .the-slippers, while movement in awvertical plane 7at righ-t angles .tothe first plane will .be Ypermitted 'by kangular sliding ofthe slippers .within .their seats.
  • the gear housing 33 is protected against the entrance ci waterand scale by a-cover plate having holes 81 therethrough for the spindles 4.1'.
  • Each hole 81 is surrounded by an upstanding flange 88.
  • a cap is mounted on each .spindle directly 'above the corresponding hole 81 each apparent 'from 'the above disclosure.
  • caps 90 having a depending flange 9
  • the caps 90 may be made in two parts separable in an axial plane and bolted together.
  • the carrier 50 is preferably secured to the roll housing I6 by releasable means.
  • a pair of spaced ears 93 extend upwardly from Leach end of the 'carrier 'to straddleears 94 de- ⁇ pending rfrom the roll housing, the'ears having holes to receive transverse pins 95.
  • These pins 1A fit the holes in the ears 94 very loosely, so that noneof the weight of the roll housing can rest on the pins.
  • the rotating coupling elements 6T are well supported 4by the bearings G3 which are held frmly against vibration 'by the weight of the 4roll housing YI6 resting on -the bearing Vfla-ngesfll.
  • the screws'30 can be employed to adjust the rollneck bearings 2S in the roll housing windows I9, thus moving the rolls horizontallyto adjust .the width of the roll pass.
  • the roll neck extensions 74 by their 4engagement vwith ⁇ the counterbores 72, will cause the rotatablecoupling elements 6l and their bearings 63 to slide hori- Zontally in the window 62 --of the carrier 50 and remain aligned with the rolls.
  • each roll has a cylindrical roll neck ex# tension immediately above its wabbler, and each coupling element has a cylindrical counterbore to receive the corresponding roll neck extension with a close sliding t.
  • each coupling element is shaped to provide two opposed parallel vertical surfaces forming a vertically elongated guideway, there being a transverse hammer head on the upper end of each spindle located within the corresponding vertically elongated guideway, slippers located on opposite sides of each hammer head, the slippers having outer convex cylindrical surfaces, means pivotally connecting the slippers to the hammer head, and a vertical plate between each slipper and the adjacent vertical surface and in sliding engagement with said surface, each plate having a concave seat on its inner side to receive the adjacent slipper.
  • each coupling element includes an outer cylindrical sleeve and an inner member fitting closely within the sleeve, the lower portion of the inner member having a transverse slot therein forming the specified opposed vertical surfaces.
