Definitions

  • One of the rolls is adjusted by other hydraulic piston cylinder assemblies and the separating force is measured by load cells.
  • a control device is provided for receiving a separating force signal from the cells and for controlling the operation of the roll bending and roll adjusting piston cylinder assemblies to maintain the forces thereof at a desired relationship relative to a variation of the separating force.
  • the present invention has for one of its objects the consturcting of a roll stand in which the counteracting roll bending forces fro the roll or rolls can be derived from the changes of the roll separating forces, without the need of employing a control device.
  • the invention has the further object of designing a simple control in a manner that an adjustment of the cross section of the roll gap according to specified cross sections of the entering strip is possible, in order to guarantee that the strip can be rolled free of tension.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to design a roll stand in such a manner that the desired roll bending can be attained with relatively low roll bending forces which load the stand only to an unimportant extent.
  • Another aim of the invention is to design a skin-pass stand which discharges a product which is free of tension when a skin-pass rate of elongation has been specified.
  • This can be attained by providing an adjusting device which will keep the screwdown forces (P and the roll bending cylinder force (P always in proportion to each other, in which the proportional factor results from a distance a of a line which divides the first from the second adjacent quarters of the effective width of the rolled stock, from the center of the adjacent main bearing, and a distance b of the line of application of the restoring force, from the center of said adjacent main bearing according to the following equation:
  • the invention can be applied advantageously to a skin-pass mill.
  • a calculating device is provided to produce a quotient of the results of the pickups.
  • This calculating device specifies its original datum as an actual value to a control device which changes the roll separating force in the sense of a return of the quotient to a specified nominal or desired value. With this, the operation of the roll bending cylinders is changed in proportion to the operation of the hydraulic cylinders which effect the roll separating force.
  • unwanted strip tensions can be avoided when pickups are installed ahead and following the roll gap of the stand, located over the width of the rolled stock, which pickup the thicknesses of the strip or its tensile stresses across the width of the stock.
  • the control device influences the roll bending in the sense of reducing or abolishing the differences in thickness or the differences in tensile stress.
  • the invention can be applied to a two-high roll stand as well as other multi-roll stands, such as four-high and cluster stands, and it is explained by the following descriptions of examples of construction in connection with drawings showing two-high and four-high mills.
  • the drawings show the following:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a two-high skin-pass mill stand equipped with counteracting bending bearings and roll bending cylinders in diagrammatic and partially sectioned representation;
  • FIG. 2 is one half of a section taken through the housing and the rolls of a four-high roll stand including pickups assigned to it, and a control device represented in block diagram form;
  • FIG. 3 is the skin-pass stand of FIG. 1 including rolls arranged in front of and behind the stand as well as speed and strip tension measuring devices, diagrammatically shown in side view;
  • FIG. 4 is a control device in block diagram form employed in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 3 t operate a skin-pass mill.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a mill stand 100 partially sectioned in a plane which lies in front of one of its two identical housings 101 that make up the mill stand. Since the housing and their components are identical only one of the housings will be discussed.
  • the housing 101 has a window 102 in which bearing chocks 103 and 104 of working rolls 105 and 106 are guided.
  • the necks 107 and 108 of the rolls which are rotatably supported in the chocks 103 and 104 extend freely outward of roll bodies 105 and 106, and they are equipped with chocks 109 and 110 at their free ends as well as with roll bending bearings supported in these chocks.
  • the chocks 109 and 110 are constructed each with two similar C- shaped notches into which the end pieces 111 of piston rods 112 engage.
  • Levers 114 which are swingably around axes 113 connected with the housing 101 support hydraulic roll bending cylinders 115, each of which is equipped with two opposite pistons associated with the rods 112.
  • the levers 114 are equipped with forks.
  • Bolts 116 extend through the bores of each fork to which the piston rod of an hydraulic cylinder 117 is attached.
  • Each hydraulic operating cylinder is swingably connected to the housing 101.
  • the end pieces 111 are heldin their operative position in the C-shaped notches formed in the chocks 109 and l with the aid of the hydraulic operating cylinders 115.
  • the hydraulic roll bending cylinders 115 may be swung outwardly by the operating of the hydraulic cylinders 117, and the end pieces 111 can be pulled out of the notches of the chocks 109 and 110 to allow for changing of rolls 105 and 106.
  • the bearing chock 104 is engaged by an hydraulic screwdown cylinder 118 which is mounted on a pressure or load cell 119 supported by the housing 101 and which in turn reproduces a signal proportional to the roll separating force of the mill.
  • the coarse adjustment of the roll gap is done with the aid of a screwdown spindle 120 arranged at the top of the housing 101, which is associated with a common constructed mechanical screwdown device 122 which engages a worm gear 121 secured to the screwdown spindle.
  • a two-high stand has so far been described in which the necks of the working rolls 105 and 106 are supported in bearing chocks in accordance with common mill practice.
  • the rolls are constructed with extended necks and equipped with roll bending bearings on their free ends in such a manner that expanding forces can be applied with the aid of roll bending cylinders 115 which are capable of causing additional bending moments to the working rolls while they are subject to bending caused by the roll separating forces.
  • FIG. 2 shows a vertical section through the roll axes of a fourhigh mill stand in connection with a control device assigned to it which is shown in block diagram form.
  • a control device assigned to it which is shown in block diagram form.
  • the upper and lower yokes of the housing 1 are cut in this particular representation.
  • the main bearings 3 and 4 of the backing rolls 5 and 6 are guided in chocks 7 and 8 in the housing window 2 of the housing 1.
  • the backing rolls back up the working rolls 9 and 10, the necks, bearings, and the chocks of which are not shown in this drawing for simplicity sake.
  • Backing rolls and working rolls enclose a roll gap 11 in which rolled stock 12 is shown in this particular stand.
  • the chock 8 braces itself against the bottom of the housing window 2- which is formed by the lower yoke of the housing, the chock 7 is screwed down with the aid of an hydraulic screwdown cylinder 13.
  • the screwdown cylinder 13 is associated with a pressure cell 14 which measures the supporting forces which have to be produced by the screwdown device.
  • the screwdown cylinder 13 is supported against the upper yoke of the housing 1 with the aid of a removable block which can be replaced with blocks of different dimensions, and which allows for a coarse adjustment of the screwdown mechanism. Wedge type or screwdown mechanisms using screwdown spindles can be applied instead of these blocks.
  • the distance between the chocks 7 and 8 caused by the blocks and screwdown cylinders 13 is constantly measured by a motion or position pickup device 15 which is inductively active in the given example and which can be built as a magnetic amplifier.
  • the necks 16 and 17 of the rolls 5 and 6 are constructed with a larger diameter in their root area 36 than in their other areas.
  • the diameters of the bodies of the backing rolls 5 and 6 correspond to the diameters of the necks l6 and 17 of these rolls.
  • the free ends of the necks 16 and 17 of the backing rolls are equipped with bending bearing assemblies 18 and 19 which are hydraulically expandable with the aid of a back up roll bending cylinder 20.
  • a motion or position pickup device 21 is arranged between the bearing 18 and 19 and parallel to the back up roll bending cylinder 20, which can be constructed inductively active, similar to the motion pickup device 15.
  • a pressure reservoir 22 is provided to operate the hydraulic screwdown devices 13 of the stand as well as the back up roll bending cylinder 20.
  • the pressure supply system for the pressure reservoir will follow common mill practice, for which reason it has not been I shown in the drawing. It will be noted that the pressure reservoir 22 feeds servo valves 23 and 24 inserted after it.
  • the working rolls 9 and 10 are screwed down with the aid of a control device 25 and a potentiometer 26 arranged ahead of the control device employed to set the appropriate roll gap.
  • the motion pickup 15 is connected to the entrance 27 of the control device 25 and functions as a potentiometer
  • the control device effects the servo valve 23 arranged following it and determines the admission of the compressive volume of the screwdown device 13 with the aid of the connection 28.
  • a control device 29 is equipped with two constant or pre-set potentiometers 30 and 31, and it is designed to control the servo valves 24, and with it, the admission of the backup roll bending cylinder 20.
  • a value is specified with the aid of the constant or pre-set potentiometer 30 which corresponds with a specified roll separating force and which causes a base admission to the backup roll bending cylinder 20 which in turn corresponds with this roll separating force.
  • the roll separating force which has to be intercepted by the housing 1 is determined by the pressure cell 14 and then delivered to the control device 29 as an actual value.
  • the control device causes an increase or decrease of the back up roll bending force brought about with the aid of the back up roll beding cylinder 20 in proportion to each increase or decrease respectively of the roll separating force, at which the proportional factor is specified by the constant or pre-set potentiometer 31.
  • the proportional factor can be calculated based on the following considerations: Starting from the assumption that the entire roll separating force P is transferred pro rata to both housings; the roll separating force P induced into the left half of the rolled stock 12 is transmitted by the housing 1 and represents a component of the supporting force P A1 acting upon the pressure cell 14. With this, a moment is applied into the left halves of the working rolls 9 and 10, the sum of which results from the product of the one half of the roll separating force P and the lever arm.
  • the mean lever arm corresponds to the distance a taken from the center of the main bearings 3 and 4, and the center of the half width of the rolled stock; in other words, from a point taken from between the adjacent first and second quarters of the entire width of the rolled stock.
  • This moment is to be compensated for by a counter moment produced by the roll bending cylinders.
  • the counter moment is determined by the restoring force P as well as by the lever arm b by which this force is applied at the distance between the center of the roll bending bearings 18 and 19 and the center of the main bearings 3 and 4.
  • control device 29 is equipped with a second control loop which keeps this distance specified by the potentiometer 32 and/or by the connection 33 of the exit 34 of the control device 25 constant: the distance d is picked up by the motion pickup 21 which is connected with the control device 29 as an input signal. For instance, an increase of the roll separating force which would cause the distance c to increase and the distance d to decrease will be picked up by the control devices 25 and 29 which hold these distances constant. With this, not only the moment occurring in the roll body is increased, but also the bending moment which is forced upon the necks of rolls.
  • Changes of the desired thickness of rolled stock as well as adjusting to changed widths of rolled stock can be obtained by changing the specification of the actual value 26 of the pickup 15 as well as by adjusting the roll bending force P according to the changed roll separating force P in relation to the lever arms a/b. This can be done for one side of the stand as well as for both sides at the same time.
  • the roll bending can also be changed by introducing an additional correction factor K in addition to the change with the aid of the proportional relation P P a/b. This too is possible for one side of the stand as well as for both sides at the same time, in order to make an adjustment to changes of rolling procedures such as variations of the roll body caused by roll etching, temperature variations, wear, changes of the entering strip sections, or changes of the lever arm a, as well as of the resulting roll separating force P during rolling operation.
  • the roll body Due to the compensation of the roll bending as described above, the roll body can be kept considerably smaller in its diameter than what has been the case in the past. The large diameter of the roll body has been necessary in the past to obtain a high inherent rigidity. In addition to this, the strain of the roll bodies is greatly reduced by the application of the backup roll bending.
  • the system and the device of the present invention can be applied to a two-high roll stand as well as fourhigh and cluster stands. As shown in the drawing, the following relations of forces and moments result from the application of this system:
  • K represents the correction factor for the adjusting of the roll bending to certain changes that take place in the roll body and in the roll gap and preferably is 0.5 is than K 2.
  • Changes of the roll separating force due to changes of the thickness of the entering rolled stock or changes of the deformation stability, and of the lubricating conditions, etc., will be automatically corrected accordingly with the aid of a proportional change of the roll bending P in addition to the pickup of the deviations of the load of the main bearings P
  • a system for the bending of rolls is invented which can be applied in many different ways.
  • the exit side of the stand could prove to be practical to equip the exit side of the stand with monitors arranged over the width of the rolled stock.
  • the thickness distribution and/or the distribution of the tensile stress of the rolled stock can be determined with the aid of these monitors or with the aid of measuring devices measuring the distribution of the tensile stress over the width of the strip, and further, corrections of the roll bending could be made manually or automatically with the aid of another control loop of the control device 29 which reached over the entrance 35 of the control device.
  • a very low regulating speed is desired for this control loop corresponding with the indirect control which is brought about in this case.
  • Monitors for instance, gauge measuring devices for the rolled stock, which may be constructed as X-ray devices, can also be used in order to measure the outgoing and/or the entering thickness of the rolled stock as actual value or as reference input to the control device 25 as a further aid to maintain uniform thickness of the outgoing rolled stock which can be added to the control process and, with this, the tolerances are further narrowed down.
  • the monitors mentioned above can do this task in which actual value can either be derived from only one of the monitors or an average can be taken from the measuring results of several monitors.
  • FIG. 3 shows in side view an arrangement as it can be used for surface dressing cold rolled strip.
  • the strip 42 is drawn off from the strip coil 41 and conveyed over a measuring roll 43 coupled with a tachometer 44 to the mill stand which corresponds with the stand shown in FIG. 1 as far as its structure is concerned.
  • a guide roller 47 finally conveys the strip to a reel 49 where it is coiled.
  • a measuring roll 48 is employed on the strip section between the measuring roll 46 and the guide roller 47, which is equipped with rings supported flexibly in an axial direction, the radial compressive load application of which can be determined with the aid of measuring systems, in order to determine the strip tension in various sections of the width.
  • the construction and operation of the rolls 43, 45 and 48, can follow several well-known devices, al though the type disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,538,765 is preferred.
  • the measuring rolls arranged ahead and following the roll gap in connection with the tachometer represent speed indicators with the aid of which it is possible to determine the quotient between the speed of the entering strip and the outgoing strip, and consequently, to determine the skin-pass rate of elongation.
  • a control arrangement to operate this skin-pass mill arrangement is shown in block diagram form in FIG. 4.
  • the tachometers 44 and 46 transfer signals of the tensions they measure to a comparison device 61.
  • a potentiometer 62 is assigned to the tachometer 44 which is able to increase the excitation of the tachometer 44 against the excitation of the tachometer 46. Its scale is gauged in percents of the excitation of the tachometer 46 so that by increasing the excitation of the tachometer 44 for practically each existing skin-pass rate, uniform output voltages of the tachometer may be set.
  • the desired skin-pass rate will be set with the aid of the potentiometer 62. Due to the increased excitation of the tachometer 44 which occurs with this, uniform output voltages of both tachometers are obtained. Meanwhile both the desired strip tension and the outgoing speed which exceeds the entering speed by the desired percentage are maintained.
  • the regulating loop which activates the screwdown cylinder 118 is constructed as control loop 64 which picks up the voltage produced by the control device 63 as nominal value.
  • This control loop 64 receives in addition a signal in the form of the actual value of the separation force of the mill as determined by the pressure cell 119.
  • the roll bending cylinders 1 will admit fluid in proportion to the admission to the screwdown cylinders 118. Principally, the admission control could also be taken off from the exit of the control device 63.
  • a control loop 67 is provided which is directly controlled by the pressure signal of the pressure cell 119, in order to immediately bring about an accurate and sensitive expanding force which follows every change of the roll separating force.
  • the control loop 67 influences a servo valve 69 which also is fed by the pressure reservoir 65.
  • the exits of this servo valve are connected with the hydraulic roll bending cylinders 115 shown in the FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • the pressure in these servo valves is picked up by a pressure pick-off 68 and transferred to the control loop 67 as actual value, in
  • this asymmetry will be transferred to the control loop 67 as an electrical signal and, as another limiting quantity, it causes an additional change of the admission of the roll bending cylinders until the expanding force reaches values that will cause the roll bending to guarantee a product with a constant tension distribution over the width of the strip.
  • it is not sufficient to keep the roll gap completely parallel and in uniform gauge over its length. For instance, it is not possible to obtain an outgoing material free of tension with a uniform thickness over the length of the gap, when the entering strip is thicker in its center than on its edges. It is practical in this case, to change the roll bending expanding force slightly until a material is obtained which is free of tension.
  • monitors can be used to additionally pick up the width of the strip and the determination of the tensile stress of the strip could be useful for reduction rolling of cold strips, for instance, in combination with a roll stand as shown in FIG. 2.
