Definitions

  • Such equipment as has been proposed for these purposes has been deficient in providing guiding and rolling means that would tend to impair the desired shape of strip at its edge regions, especially for thin gauges or soft metals, or would not be adjustable to different gauges, or would not accommodate minor thickness variations without some tendency to over-roll and elongate the edge regions (making them wavy), or
  • the invention is designed to accomplish these results on a plurality of strips, e.g., two or even many more which are advancing lengthwise in the same path plane, in closely spaced relation, such smoothing operation taking place simultaneously, with means functioning individually, in a controlled manner, at each locality of closely adjacent edges, and indeed essentially individually with respect to the edge corners of the respective strips at each side of the narrow space between the latter.
  • Another specific aspect of the improved apparatus resides in the provision of individual structures or modules for carrying the described roll means, most particularly a set of pairs of such modules, the modules of each pair being respectively disposable adjacent to opposite faces of the path plane of the strip, in alignment with the strip edge localities, viz. the narrow spaces between passing strip edges and also the regions of the outermost strip edges.
  • FIG. 9 is a vertical section on line 99 of FIG. 8.
  • FIGS. 12 and '13 are respectively a fragmentary section (like FIG. 6) and plan showing alternative retaining means for an upper module.
  • the strips advance, in the same plane and in close edge-by-edge spacing through the edge conditioner 24 of the present invention, and are ultimately rewound on the reel 25, i.e., as separate, side-by-side coils as will be apparent from FIG. 2.
  • the wide and severed strips are pulled through the system under tension by action of the usual drive, not shown, of the rewind reel 25.
  • each strip is now characterized by a bevelled configuration at the comer, e.g., as indicated at 36, 37 in respect to strip 200, representating essentially complete obliteration, by rolling deformation, of sharp or other objectionable irregularities or burrs.
  • the amount of deformation only needs to be relatively slight, rather than to the exaggerated extent shown in FIG, 5B, but as will be apparent, the conditioning instrumentalities are capable of selective adjustment or design to achieve any desired extent of bevel or sloping comer shape which circumstances may demand.
  • the conditioner includes a frame comprising a pair of heavy upstanding plates 65, 66, at the outer sides parallel to the strip path. Between these plates, below the path, cross bars 68 and 69 are disposed respectively beyond and behind the locality of the guiding and work roll means.
  • FIGS. 8, 9 and show presently preferred structural details of the module devices, particularly as to the spring loading feature.
  • the forward ends of the upper module plates 55, 56 are spanned by a block 93 which is characterized by a shelf surface 94 so that a cavity 95 is provided to enclose the compression spring 40a which is seated at its lower end around a guide stud 96 and is engaged at its upper end by a flange 97, having a like guide stud 98,of a compressor pin 99 that projects upwardly and slidably through a cover plate 100.
  • a compressor bar 42a is adapted to engage the pin 99 for compressing the spring 40a for its function of loading the work rolls as described above.
  • the cross bar carries a slidably fitting collar 112 equipped with a set screw 1 14 adapted to be tightened against a flat region 115 along the bar.
  • the required number of lower modules 39 are inserted and secured in place on the bars 68, 69 to conform with the selected strand locations, and then the upper modules 38 are correspondingly inserted, e.g'., on the bars 78 and 79, accurate positioning and alignment of the upper modules being achieved with the guide roll fin 47 and the positioning blade 121 as explained.
  • the corresponding severed strands are passed through the edge conditioning device, either before or after the seating of the upper modules 38 as may be convenient, whereupon the pressure bar 42a is lowered into place and locked, simultaneously compressing all of the springs 40a and applying the required loading to the comer-engaging rolls 28, 29.
  • each pair of guide roll means having a peripheral fin and the other roll means of the pair having a peripheral groove receiving said fin
  • each of said roll-carrying structures comprising means adjustably mounting the structure on the mounting means on the corresponding side of the path plane, for positioning the structures selectively at desired localities to conform with the widths of the strips of metal sheet.
  • edge-comer engaging roll means having tapered work roll surfaces and carried respectively by said structures and carrying means to smooth strip edge corners at opposite faces of said path plane
  • Apparatus as defined in claim 20 in which'one module of each pair carries a blade element which is narrower than said fin means and is arranged to intersect the path plane at a locality, between the edges of two edge-by-edge strips, that is spaced longiaidinally along said path from said fin means, and the other module of said pair includes an element recessed to receive said blade element, said blade element and said recessed element coacting to maintain the two modules of each pair in mutual alignment for engagement of their complementary roll means with the corners of said last-mentioned two strips.
