sumenr 3 lac P I20 38 36 l MULTI-GROOVE ROLL MOUNTING DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to rolling mills, and is concerned in particular with a new and improved apparatus for mounting multi-groove work rolls.
As herein employed, the term multi-groove work roll is defined as a work roll adapted for mounting on the end section of a roll shaft and having at least three grooves on the exterior surface therof, with the axial spacing between the centers of adjacent grooves as well as the axial spacing between each outside groove and the adjacent roll end being equal.
In the past, a number of arrangements have been employed in the mounting of grooved work rolls on the end sections of roll shafts. In the earlier arrangements, the work rolls were provided with a single groove,-and
this in turn necessitated frequent roll replacement each time the groove becomes worn. After removal, a roll with a worn groove was either reground, or if this was no longer possible, the roll was simply discarded.
In order to improve roll life, double-groove rolls were later developed. With such rolls, after one groove was worn, the roll was reversed to make use of the other groove, and hence a significant improvement in roll life was realized. Other prior art arrangements made use of rolls having more than two grooves, with means for axially adjusting the roll shafts in order to align the roll grooves with the mill pass line. However, because of the need to accommodate axial adjustment of the roll shafts when aligning different roll grooves with the mill pass line, these arrangements involved the use of expensive and complicated shaft bearings and drive gearing.
It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for mounting multi-groove work rolls in a manner which makespossible significant improvements in roll life as compared with the abovementioned prior art roll mounting arrangements. To this end, the present invention makes use of a spacer assembly axially mounted on the roll shaft between the multi-groove work roll and a shoulder on the roll shaft. A retainer assembly holds the work roll against the spacer assembly, with one of the roll grooves aligned with the mill pass line. After this one groove is worn, the retainer assembly is disengaged temporarily and the work roll is reversed to make use of another roll groove. Thereafter, the axial length of the spacer assembly is changed, either by adding or removing one or more spacer elements, the result being that when the roll is remounted, it is shifted along the roll axis through a distance equal to the spacing between the centers two'adjacent roll grooves, and this in turn enables other grooves to be aligned with the mill pass line. Thus, by selectively adding or removing spacer elements, and by selectively reversing the position of the roll relative to the roll shaft, all of the grooves of a mu]- ti-groove work roll can be utilized. Thisadvantage is achieved without axially shifting the roll shafts, and hence complicated and expensive shaft bearings and drives are also avoided.
Other objects of the present invention include the provision of an apparatus for mounting multi-groove work rolls which is rugged, of simple and inexpensive design, easy to maintain, and capable of being rapidly assembled and disassembled, the latter feature being of 2 primary importance in minimizing non-productive mill down-time.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent as the description proceeds with the aid of the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view through a roll mounting apparatus embodying the concepts of the present inventron;
FIGS. 2A to 2C are further illustrations of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, showing the different adjustments required to align the remaining roll grooves with the mill pass line; and
FIGS. 3 and 4 are additional views similar to FIGS. 2A-2C showing two other embodiments of the invent1on.
With reference initially to FIG. 1, there is generally indicated at 10 an apparatus for mounting a multigroove work roll 12 on a roll shaft 14. The shaft 14 has an end section which protrudes axially from an opening 15 in a housing 16, the latter containing the shaft bearings, drive mechanisms and other conventional compowhich leads to a cylindrical end 32.
A seal generally indicated at 34 surrounds the housing opening 15 and serves to retain the bearing lubricant in the housing while excluding contaminants such as cooling water, mill scale dirt, etc. The seal includes a ring 36 fixed relative to the housing 16, and a flinger 38 removably mounted on the shaft 14 for rotation therewith. The flinger 38 supports a resilient seal 40 which has inner and outer flanges sealinglyengaging the flinger 38 and ring 36. The flinger 38 has an outer axially extending flange 38a which cooperates with an axially extending flange 36a on the ring 38 to provide an interlocking sealing labyrinth. Flinger 38 also has an inner flange 38b, one end of which engages the shaft shoulder 18 as at 42, and the other end of which engages a spacer element 44 as at 46. The spacer element 44 is in engagement at its opposite end as at 48 with one end of the multi-groove work roll 12.
' In the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, the work roll has four axially spaced grooves 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d on its exterior surface, the latter of which is in alignment with the mill pass line P. The spacing between the centers of adjacent grooves are all equal to a distance indicated schematically at s. Also, the spacing between the centers of the outside grooves and the adjacent ends of the roll are equal to thereby permit the position of the roll to be reversed on the shaft end.
The flinger 38 has an axial length 1 and the spacer element 44 has an axial length 1,. The flinger and spacer element form a combined spacer means or assembly having an over all axial length L, with the axial length 1 of the spacer element being equal to the spacing s.
A retainer means or assembly is employed to hold the flinger 38 against shoulder 18, the spacer element 44 against the flinger, and the roll 12 against the spacer element. The retainer means or assembly includes a key 50 extending through a transverse slot 52 in the cylindrical section 26 of the roll shaft. Key 50 has two legs 50a and 50b which engage the work roll as at 54, and an intermediate section 500 which extends through the slot 52. The intermediate key section has a depression 55 adapted to receive the shaped end of a socket head screw 56. Screw 56 is threaded into an axial threaded bore 58 leading from the transverse slot 52 to another larger diameter threaded bore 60 in the shaft end 32.
A collect member 66 is seated axially between the work roll 12 and the truncated conical section 22 of the roll shaft. The collet has an intermediate tubular section 67 which is slotted at opposite locations as at 68 to accommodate the key 50, and a head 70 which is engaged as at 72 by a cap member 74. The cap member 74 is in turn held in place by the knurled head 76 of a large-diameter threaded stud 78 which is received in threaded'bore 60. The end of the stud 78 is recessed as at 80 to accommodate the socket head screw 56.
In light'of the above, it will be seen that with spacer element 44 in place and with the socket head screw 56 and the threaded stud 78 properly tightened as shown in FIG. 1, the work roll 12 will be fixed relative to the roll shaft 14 in an'operative position with its roll groove 12d in alignment with the mill pass line. This arrangement is maintained until the roll groove 12d becomes worn, at which point alternate grooves can be employed in the following manner:
With reference to FIG. 2A, it will be seen that groove 12a can be aligned with the mill pass line P by simply reversing the roll 12. This is accomplished by removing stud 60, cap 74, collect 66 and key 50, reversing the roll 12, and then reassembling the foregoing components.
Groove 12b groove 12b is now in alignment with the mill pass line.
In light of the above, it will now be understood by those skilled in the art that use of the present invention is not restricted to multi-groove rolls having four grooves. To illustrate, FIG. 3 is a view showing the invention employed with a multi-groove roll having three grooves 12a, 12b and 12c. Here, the insert member 44 would be employed while rolling with the center groove 12b. Thereafter, the insert member 44 would be removed, and the roll pushed into engagement with flinger 38 to roll in groove 12a, and then by reversing the roll, to roll in groove 12c.
FIG. 4 is illustrative of another possible arrangement wherein a multi-groove work roll having five-grooves shaft.
72a-72e is employed with two spacer elements 44 a and 44b. Both spacer elements would be employed while rolling in the central groove 12c. One spacer element would then be removed to enable the grooves-12b and 12d to be aligned with the mill pass line. Finally, the remaining spacer element would be removed when rolling in either groove 12a or 122. As an alternative to this approach, it would be possible to use a single large spacer element when rolling in center groove 12, a smaller spacer element when rolling in grooves 12b and 12d, and finally no spacer element when rolling in grooves 12a and 12e.
