5 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures PATENTEB RAY I 31975 SHEET 1%? 3 mm MAY 1 3 4975 SHEET 2 BF 3 T in ROLL STAND The invention relates to screwdown gear for rolling mills with closed housings forming windows for the roller installation members and with a screwdown crossbeam following the screwdown movements of the adjusting screws, which cross-beam may be inserted in the windows between the upper cross-bars of the housings and the installation members of the upper rollers. A screwdown cross-beam of this type has the purpose either of facilitating the installation of rollers of varying surface length, without having to move the housings (DT-PS 607 741), or of serving as a support member, following the screwdown movements, for the power cylinder of a roll camber control device (DT-OS l 527 739).
Within the framework of the invention, a screwdown cross-beam of this type is used for another purpose. It was based on the consideration that the normal construction of a roll stand, comprising two closed housings and adjusting screws in the upper cross-bars of the housings for adjusting the upper roller, has certain drawbacks, connected with the weakening of the crosssections of the upper cross-bars of the housings by the adjusting screws passing therethrough. This weakening of the cross-section is normally made up for by an accumulation of material on the upper cross-bars in the region of the adjusting screws. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to adapt the bending behaviour of theupper cross-bars to that of the lower cross-bars of the housings. A further drawback consists in that for the insertion of the screw-threaded nuts in the upper cross-bars, the housings, which under certain circumstances are very heavy, have to be machined on a correspondingly heavy machine tool having a high cost per hour. Not only must bores be provided, but also flat bearing surfaces for the attachments of the screwdown gear, namely for the screwdown gearing and the screwdown motors. Also, the expenditure for preparatory work, for example for marking the heavy cast parts is not inconsiderable. Even if the housings are produced in a split construction, the machining of the upper cross-bars must take place when the housings are assembled.
Based on a rolling mill with closed housings, either cast in one unit or assembled from many parts, it is the object of the invention to relieve the upper cross-bars of the housings of their task of guiding the adjusting screws of the screwdown gear, in order to reduce machining costs on the housings to a minimum and in order to achieve roll housings with a cross-section subjected to equal bending in the upper and lower crossbars. This object is fulfilled according to the invention in that the adjusting screws, their threaded nuts and their motorized rotary drives form a detachable unit with the screwdown cross-beam. Whilst the aforementioned drawbacks of the conventional stand construction, to which the technical world hasclearly been long accustomed, are avoided by the invention, an additional advantage is provided by the possibility of easily detaching all parts belonging to the screwdown gear, namely, even the gearing and screwdown motors supported by the screwdown cross-beam. If a screwdown cross-beam according to the invention is kept in reserve, disturbances in the screwdown gearing may be removed in the fastest manner by simply exchanging the screwdown cross-beams.
It should be mentioned that in the case of another stand construction, namely the so-called tie-rod roll stands, the arrangement of screwdown gearing and motors or even hydraulic mechanisms on the individual vertically adjustable upper stand parts is known (DT-OS l 527 753). However, due to this the problem in question is not touched upon.
Should the roll stand, in particular as a four-high roll stand for rolling hot or cold sheet metal, be provided with an additional hydraulic screwdown mechanism for automatically regulating the roll gap, then according to the invention, the hydraulic regulating cylinders together with their feed pipes may be supported by the screwdown cross-beam.
Theoretically, it is immaterial whether the screwdown cross-beam rests directly on the installation components of the upper roller, i.e. the adjusting screws are supported on the upper cross-bars of the housings, or whether, vice versa, the screwdown cross-beam rests directly on the cross-bars. However, if the roll stand is to be equipped with a camber control device for the upper adjustable roller, whereby the screwdown crossbeam is constructed to be resistant to bending as known per se and hydraulic power cylinders are fixed to the extended ends, which power cylinders are connected to auxiliary bearings for controlling the camber of the upper roller, located on the extended roll journals of the upper roll, then it is advisable for the screwdown cross-beam to rest directly on the installation components. The regulating cylinders of an automatic roll gap regulator are then located between the adjusting screws and the cross-bars of the housings. Due to this, the known advantage is achieved that both during actuation of the mechanical screwdown gear for a coarse adjustment and during roll gap corrections by the automatic roll gap regulator, the hydraulic power cylinders of the camber control device follow the movements of the upper roller and the pre-set counter bending force remains unchanged. Also, the screwdown cross-beam may be removed more easily from the windows of the housings, when it rests directly on the installation components of the upper roller by a continuous lower bearing surface.
In order to secure the hydraulic regulating cylinders resting on the adjusting screws and thus supported by the screwdown cross-beam, in their position, it is proposed according to the invention that the regulating cylinders are interconnected by a common connecting plate guided in the windows, on which connecting plate the pressure medium feed pipes and if necessary, also hydraulic pressure converters are located. Thus, the hydraulic control elements of the automatic roll gap regulator may be largely located on the connecting plate with the result that these parts requiring maintenance are also detachable together with the screwdown cross-beam.
The further development of the positioning of the regulating cylinder makes it possible to flange-mount hydraulic units without pipes on the regulating cylinders, so that at the time of detaching the screwdown cross-beam, apart from the electric leads to the screwdown motor or motors, only the flexible or pliable pipes carrying the hydraulic regulating magnitude, have to be released.
One embodiment of screwdown gear for rolling mills according to the invention is illustrated in the drawing and in particular 3 FIG. 1 shows the upper part of a four-high roll stand,
on the left in vertical section through one of the adjust ing screws, on the right in elevation,
FIG. 2 is a section on line llll of FIG. 1 and P16. 3 shows a detail.
The illustrated four-high roll stand comprises two housings 2, in the assembled position, whereof the vertical housing posts are interconnected by upper crossbars 2a. The housing, cross-bars 2a are interconnected by a bridge 3. Of the set of rollers, an upper backing roll 4 and an upper working roll 5 are shown. The back ing roll 4 is mounted in installation components 6, which are guided in the windows 7 formed by the housings 2.
Located between the installation components 6 and the upper cross-bars 2a of the housings 2 is a screwdown cross-beam 8 passing through the windows 7 and guided therein, which cross-beam is supported by way of knife-edge bearings 9 on the installation components 6 of the upper roller 4. On each side of the housing, the screwdown cross-beam 8 supports non-rotary threaded nuts 10 for screwdown adjusting screws 11 (FIG. 2), which are inserted by their ends facing the cross-bars 2a inworm gears 12 such that they cannotrotate but are able to slide. The worm gears 12 may be driven by worms 13, which are in turn driven laterally by a screwdown motor 14. The screwdown cross-beam 8 thus supports the mechanical screwdown gear for both sides of the housing, in order to adjust the upper set of rolls 4, 5 to the desired roll gap with respect to the lower set of rolls (not shown). if, in fact, the worm gear 12 is rotated, depending on the direction of rotation, the adjusting screws 11 travel either upwards out of the screwdown cross-beam or vice versa, due to which the spacing of the installation component 6 of the upper roller 4 from the cross-bars 2a of the housings 2 is determined.
The arrangement of the adjusting screws 11 inside the screwdown cross-beam 8 has the result that the cross-bars 2a of the housings are no longer weakened by the previously required threaded bores for the adjusting screws and may have cross-sections undergoing equal bending both at the top and bottom.
The illustrated roll stand is also provided with hydraulic screwdown gear for an automatic roll gap regulation. For this, two pressure plates 16 and 17, centered one in the other, are placed on each upper end face 11a of the adjusting screws 11, whereof the'upper pressure plate 17 respectively forms the means for centering the piston 18 of the regulating cylinder 20. Each regulating piston 20 is supported by means of a pressure plate 21 on the housing side, against a cross-bar 2a. According to the regulating pressure pre-set by the regulating piston 18, the pistons 18 carry out their regulating stroke inside the regulating cylinder 20, due to which a roll gap correction is undertaken by way of the adjusting screws 11, the threaded nuts 10 and thescrewdown cross-beam 8.
The regulating cylinders 20 are interconnected by a common connecting plate 22 guided vertically in the window 7, which plate 22, is provided with bores 23 at the spacing A of the two adjusting screws 11, according to FIG. 3. The regulating pistons 18 are inserted in these bores 23 by a stepped end, which is reduced in diameter, to slide in a limited manner by the regulating stroke provided, because in the vicinity ofthe bores 23, the connecting plate 22 is screwed to the underneath 20, as shown in FIG. 2.
Due to this, not only is the position of the regulating units resting on the adjustingscrews 11 maintained, but on the contrary the connecting plate 22 may beused to I A particular advantage for supporting the control meme, bers for the regulation in the form of pressure convert- 1 1 ers 24 and 25. These pressure converters may be flange-connected directly tothe regulating cylinders 20 1 without pipes, since no relative movement occursjbe-j. tween the regulating cylinders and the connecting plate. The pressure chamber 24a, for example of the j pressure converter 24, opens at its outlet directly into the channel 26 of the associated regulating cylinder 20,, I The two converters 24, 25 overlapping partly alon g their length and located one beside the otheruon the 1 1 f connecting 1 plate 22, serve, in the present case, in 1 known manner, for changing over a regulating pressure produced by pressure oil to grease as the lastpressure medium in the regulating cylinders 20.
With the screwdown cross-beam 8 constructed' ac cording to the invention as a support both forthe me chanical as well as the hydraulic screwdowngear, not F only are the housing cross-sections independent of the" I screwdown gear, but on the contrary all parts of the I I screwdown gear subject to wear and requiring mai ntef nance can be dismantled together with the screwdown" cross-beam 8.
The screwdown cross-beam 8 is constructed to be re. 7 sistant to bending if the stand is intended t'ojbeprovided with a so-called camber control devicefor at] f least the upper backing roll 4, as shown in FIG. 1. As known, the backing roll 4 is then provided with eio i tended journal ends 4a, on each of which is located an q auxiliary bearing 30mm a tie-rod 31., which Jiscon nected by way of a bifurcation which is not shown, to 1 a cross-beam 32 resting on theextended ends 8a of the screwdown cross-beam 8. Bending cylinders 33i ini serted in the screwdown cross-beam 8 act on thecrossr n beams such that the tie-rods 31 are pulledupwards and I thus counter-bending is forced on the upper backing roll 4 by way of the auxiliary bearing 30.The tie-rods 31 are detachably connected to the cross-beam132,.in
order to be able to remove the screwdown cross-beam 8 laterally from the window '7 in. which it is guided 'at 1 1 right-angles.
