Definitions

  • the cantilevered roll assembly comprises a first mill.
  • first bearing chock rotatably mounted adjacent one end of the first roll
  • second mill roll disposed generally above the first mill roll
  • second bearing chock rotatably mounted adjacent one end of the second mill 'roll and disposed generally above the first bearing chock.
  • Means are provided for detachably joining the second bearing chock to the first bearing chock such that the second mill roll and the second bearing chock are supported from the first bearing chock in cantilevered fashion whereby the roll assembly can be inserted and withdrawn relative to a stand of the mill without removing strip or the like therefrom.
  • the present invention relates to a system for inserting and withdrawing the rolls of a rolling mill and more particularly to a novel form of cantilevered work roll assembly which can be so inserted and withdrawn without removal of the strip or the like from the rolling mill.
  • each configuration of the roll assembly of the invention involves specific but obvious differences in size and configuration, depending upon a particular form and function of a rolling mill stand.
  • the invention is particularly advantageous in its adaptability to existing rolling mills, as the mill roll assembly of the invention can be substituted readily for conventional roll assemblies.
  • the roll-changing system of the present invention is admirably and unexpectedly designed to reduce undue mechanical complexity and to facilitate maintenance.
  • the system of the present invention can be installed in conjunction with existing rolling mills without extensive and costly mill shutdown.
  • Roll changing equipment according to the invention can be installed wherever and whenever desirable, at each stand of a given rolling mill, with the result that any or all of the work roll assemblies of the mill can be changed simultaneously. Handling of the work rolls by a crane is eliminated, along with roll damage frequently caused by this and other known handling techniques.
  • a normal roll changing system and roll assembly permit withdrawal and insertion of the roll assembly without the necessity of time-consuming removal and rethreading of the strip or the like from the rolling mill.
  • my novel mill roll assembly facilitates transportation of the roll assemblies to and from the roll shop.
  • a mill roll assembly comprising a first mill roll, a first bearing chock rotatably mounted adjacent one end of said first roll, a second mill roll disposed generally above said first mill roll, a second bearing chock rotatably mounted adjacent one end of said second mill roll and disposed generally above said first bearing chock, and means for detachably joining said second bearing chock to said first bearing chock so that said second mill roll and said second bearing chock are supported from said first bearing chock in cantilevered fashion whereby said roll assembly can be inserted and withdrawn relative to a stand of said mill without removing strip or the like therefrom.
  • I also desirably provide a similar roll assembly including quick-deactivatable spacing means coupled between said bearing chocks for spacing said chocks and rolls during said insertion and said withdrawal, and means for deactivating said spacing means to permit contact between said rolls and said strip when said roll assembly is positioned within said stand.
  • I also desirably provide a similar roll assembly including mill clamp means on said mill stand, said clamp means having a deflecting member for engaging and deactivating said spacing means upon closure of said mill clamp means upon said bearing chocks.
  • I also desirably provide a similar roll assembly wherein said spacing means include a pair of spacing dogs pivoted to one of said bearing chocks and pivotable to positions of bearing and separating engagement with the other of said bearing chocks, and means for biasing said pivoted dogs towards the bearing engagement positions respectively.
  • I also desirably provide a similar roll assembly including an additional bearing chock rotatably mounted on each of said first and said second rolls adjacent the other ends thereof respectively, and restraining means extending between each of said first and said second bearing chocks and the associated additional bearing chock for maintaining a predetermined rotative attitude of each of said additional bearing chocks.
  • FIG. 1 is an end elevational view of a cantilevered roll assembly arranged in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 1 represents in solid outline one disposition of the roll assembly during the roll changing operation, and in partial chain outline the operating position of the roll assembly within a typical mill stand.
  • FIG. 1A is a partial sectional view of the mill roll assembly shown in FIG. 1 and taken along reference line IAIA thereof;
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the mill roll assembly shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the mill roll assembly as shown in FIG. 2.
  • a work roll assembly according to the invention comprises upper work roll 22 and lower work roll 24.
  • the upper work roll is provided with work side and drive side bearing chocks 26, 28 respectively and rotatably mounted on the roll necks.
  • the lower roll 24 is similarly provided with chocks 30, 32 each of which is provided with a pair of railway trucks 34, 36 for engagement with rails 38, 40 of a typical mill stand 42.
  • the rails 38, 40 are aligned with external rails (not shown) disposed adjacent the mill stand 22 for roll changing purposes.
  • the aforementioned external rails can be arranged into a variety of configuration, e.g., as set forth in the aforementioned copending application Ser. No.
  • the drive side bearing chocks 28, 32 of the roll assembly 20 are essentially conventional in construction and will not be described further save in conjunction with the elongated restraining member or rod 46 and lubricant tube 48 (FIGS. 2 and 3) detailed below. Moreover, owing to the cantilevered support of the work rolls 22, 24 and the drive side bearing chocks 28, 32 during the roll changing operation, as evident from FIG. 2, the drive side chocks 28, 32 are not provided with the usual dogs or other spacing means for supporting the upper drive side chock 28 on the lower chock 32 during movement of the roll assembly 20 along the rails 38, 40 and the aforementioned external rails.
  • One arrangement for the aforementioned cantilevered support of the upper work roll 22 and its drive side chock 28 includes a unique modification of the work side bearing chocks 26, 30 such that the upper work roll assembly including its bearing chocks 26, 28 can be supported entirely, and unexpectedly from the lower work side bearing chock 30 during insertion and withdrawal of the roll assembly 20 relative to the mill stand 42.
  • the lower work side chock 30 is provided with a spaced pair of upstanding arms 58, 60 disposed for slidably engaging complementary surfaces or slideways of the upper work side chock 26.
  • Such surfaces are partially defined by a pair of depending arms 62, 64 secured to the upper work side chock 26 and similarly engaging slideways or other complementary surfaces of the lower chock 30.
  • Slideways for the lower end portions of the upper chock arms 62, 64 are delimited, as better shown in FIG. 2, by the upstanding arms 58, 60 of the lower chock 30 and by wing portions 66 of chock cover 68 secured to the front of the lowerbearing chock 30.
  • Clearance areas 70, 72 are provided on the side surfaces of the upper bearing chock to permit relative movement between the lower chock arms 58, 60 and the upper chock arms 62, 64 as denoted by chain outline 58a (FIG. 2) of the lower chock arm 58.
  • Chain outline position 58A of the lower chock arm corresponds to the closed or operating positions 22a, 240 (FIG. 1) of the work rolls.
  • the clearance areas 70, 72 are defined, in the illustrated case, by the upper ends of the lower chock arms 58, 60, the adjacent edges of the upper chock arms 62, 64 and the adjacent portions of the balancing overhangs 74 of the upper work side chock 26. Similar clearance areas can be provided on the lower chock 30.
  • chock arms 58, 60 and 62, 64 are sufficiently heavily constructed, for example from low or intermediate carbon steel plate, to support the cantilevered mass of the upper roll assembly.
  • spacing means between the upper and lower workside chocks 26, 30 in order to space the upper and lower work roll assemblies, including respectively the work rolls 22, 24 and their drive side chocks 28, 32, as shown in FIG. 2. Thereafter the roll assembly can be quickly inserted or withdrawn relative to the sheet or strip 54 which remains threaded through the several stands of the rolling mill.
  • One arrangement of such spacing means includes a pair of gravity dogs 76, 78 the upper portions of which are inserted respectively in recesses 80. 82 for pivotal mounting by means of pivot pins 84.
  • a generous clearance aperture 86 is provided in each of the dogs 76, 78 for insertion of the associated pin 84 so that an upper projection of each of the dogs bears against an upper wall of the recesses 80, 82, as denoted by reference numerals 88, during operative engagement of the dogs 76, 78 with the lower work side chock 30, as denoted by the solid outlines of the dogs 76, 78 in FIG. I.
  • the spacing dogs 76, 78 are not in use, the lower portions thereof are extended respectively into recesses 90, 92 in the lower work side chock 30, as denoted by chain outlines 76a, 78a thereof in FIG. 1.
  • the dogs 76, 78 are configured such that, in the inactive positions of the dogs 76, 78 their centers of gravity are disposed inwardly of vertical center lines 94 of the pivot pins 84.
  • the dogs 76, 78 are in consequence, subject to biasing forces such that their lower end portions swing outwardly on release from the lower chock recesses 90, 92.
  • the spacing dogs 76, 78 When it is desired to activate the spacing dogs 76, 78 to space the work side chocks 26, the work side chocks are separated to their solid outline positions (FIG. 1).
  • Separation of the work side chocks can be effected by a crane (not shown) or other suitable means if the roll assembly 20 is outside the mill stand 42, or if inside, by balancing plungers 50, 52 after first withdrawing mill clamps 96, 98 and back up rolls 54, 56.
  • This separation is terminated when toe portions 100 of the spacing dogs 76, 78 just clear the lower chock recesses 90, 92 respectively.
  • Outward movement of the spacing dogs 76, 78 including their toe portions 100 is terminated by heel or offset portions 102 thereof such that the toe portions rest squarely upon ledge surfaces of the lower chock 30 adjacent its dog recesses 90, 92.
  • the work side chocks 26, 30 are separated a slight additional distance by the plungers 50, 52 such that the toe portions 100 of the dogs 76, 78 stand clear of the lower chock 30 while the heel portions 102 thereof are still retained by the upper edge portions of the dog recesses 90, 92.
  • the mill clamps 96, 98 are moved inwardly to engage the chocks 26, 30 in the usual manner.
  • a deflecting bar 104 on each mill clamp 96 or 98 engages the adjacent dog 76 or 78 and moves the same inwardly to its chain outlined position 76b or 78b.
  • the spacing dogs are aligned for insertion into the lower chock recesses 90, 92 respectively, when the opening between the work rolls 22, 24 are closed.
  • the strip 54 running through the rolling mill including the stand 42 is stopped without, however. cutting the strip or otherwise removing the strip from the mill stand 42. If pre-reduction or post reduction operations (not shown) are employed with the rolling mill, a strip accumulator (not shown) of conventional design can be employed to store or to pay-off strip running through these operations.
  • the upper and lower work rolls 22, 24 and their associated chocks are then separated to their solid outline positions shown in FIG. 1 by means of the roll balance plungers 50, 52.
  • the drive spindles (not shown) at the drive side of the mill stand are jogged to position the drive flats thereof in a predetermined orientation.
  • the spacing dogs 76, 78 fall by gravity into their operative or solid outline positions of FIG. 1.
  • the upper plungers 50 are then actuated to lower the upper work roll assembly including the upper work side chock 26 slightly so that the toe portions of the spacing dogs bearingly engage the lower work side chock 30 adjacent its recesses 90, 92.
  • the opening between the upper and lower rolls 22, 24 (FIG. 2) is now sufficient to clear the strip 54 as the roll assembly 20 is withdrawn from the mill stand 42.
  • the cantilevered or drive side chock 28 which as noted above is rotatably mounted on the associated roll neck.
  • One arrangement for so stabilizing the upper drive side chock 28 includes the aforementioned restraining bar 46, which can be slip-fitted insuitable apertures therefore extending through the upper bearing chocks 26, 28.
  • the restraining bar 46 is hollow or otherwise contains a longitudinally extending passage 106 for the transfer of the lubricant therethrough between the upper bearing chocks 26, 28.
  • Lubricant can be supplied from a suitable source,(not shown) detachably joined to a protruding extension 108 of the restraining bar 46 (FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • the restraining bar 46 is closely fitted in the chock apertures therefor so that turning of the cantilevered chock 28 relative to the work side chock 26 is prevented.
  • a lubricant conduit 48 mentioned previously, can be similarly joined to the lower bearing chocks 30, 32 when it is desired to supply lubricant thereto in a similar manner. It is of course not necessary to restrain the lower drive side chock 32 relative to work side chock 30 beyond their engagement with the aforementioned rails.
  • the rails provide a restraint serving essentially the same function as the bar 46.
  • the replacement roll assembly is moved into the mill stand 42 where the drive side roll necks enter the prepositioned drive spindles (not shown).
  • the upper and lower work rolls 22, 24 and associated components of the replacement roll assembly 20 are spaced by the spacing dogs 76, 78 in the manner described previously such that the roll faces of the work rolls 22, 24 readily clear the strip 54 which has remained in the mill stand 42 as aforesaid.
  • the top roll assembly is lifted slightly by the upper roll balance plungers 50, whereupon the mill clamp 96, 98 are engaged and simultaneously repositioned the spacing dogs 76, 78 to their chainoutlined attitudes 76b, 78b.
  • the aforementioned lubrication lines are then connected to the workside chocks 26, 30.
  • the balancing plungers 50, 52 and the back up rolls 54, 56 are then manipulated to bring the work rolls22, 24 into contact with the strip 54 at the constant pass line 56.
  • the strip 54 is then restarted through the rolling mill while the aforementioned strip accumulator (if used) pays off or stores strip until normal operation is attained.
  • the withdrawn roll assembly is removed to the roll shop where the upper roll and associated chocks can be disassembled from the remainder of the roll assembly by means of a crane or the like.
