Abstract
Flying drum shear for cutting thin metal strips, consisting of a stand, in which are placed two drums (1, 2) with horizontally bevelled knives (3, 3') and coupled by gear wheels. Between the wheels and in the bearing of the drums (1, 2) are backlashes eliminated by prestressed springs. The sides of the shears' stand are horizontally spaced in the level (24) of the strip that is to be cut and form two bearing housings (5, 5') and (6, 6'), connected with anchors (19) and horizontal screws (21) through a fitting washer (20). The drive (22) of the shear is coupled by a backlash-free coupling (23) to one of the drums (1, 2) with a blade (3, 3') fastened behind the axis of the drum (1, 2) in the direction of the rotation. Bevelling of a blade (3, 3') has an opposite direction of inclination to the direction of the drum rotation (1, 2).
Description
Flying drum shear
Engineering area
This invention relates to a flying drum shear for cutting blanks from decoiled metal strips
Current state of the equipment
Presently, flying drum shears for cutting thin strip of sheet metal use straight blades on drums coupled to gear wheels on each side That leads to a considerable mass inertia The sides of the stand are compact and the axes of the drums have a fixed parallel position It is very difficult to achieve precise parallelity of the shears' cutting edges when producing very thin strips For consistent cutting it is necessary to prop the blades by thin foils
The disadvantage of current solutions is that higher output (greater production) i e the maximal speed of strip and the frequency of cutting is not possible
The obiect of the invention
The aforementioned disadvantages are - according to the invention - eliminated by using flying drum shears for cutting thin metal strips These consist of a stand in which are two drums with horizontally bevelled blades coupled by gear wheels The clearances between the wheels and in the bearings of the drums are eliminated by prestressed springs The shears' sides of the stand are horizontally separated on the level of the sheet being cut forming two bearing housings These are connected by anchors and horizontal screws through a fitting washer The fitting washer serves for fine tuning of the parallelity of the cutting edges The drive of the shears is coupled to one of the drums through a backlash-free coupling The knife is fastened to this driven drum behind the axis of the drum in the direction of the drum rotation The horizontally
bevelled knife has an opposite direction of inclination to the direction of the drum rotation
The advantage of the device is a permanent elimination of all clearances in the cutting mechanism by means of springs and a reduction of load forces and cutting torgues With the above mentioned arrangement, the torgue that is carried through the gear wheels to the second drum is minimalized, when the drive of the shear is connected to the first drum This means that the gear width can be small, which provides lower mass inertia and facilitates final fitting of the knives' parallelity The arrangement of separated sides of the stand simplifies assembly of the shears and allows fine tuning of the knives' parallelity both during assembly and during the shears' operation
The arrangement of the shear allows an achievment of increased capacity, that is - speed of strip cutting 300-400 m/min and the frequency of cutting of up to 480 cuts per minute
Survey of figures on the drawings
Fig 1 and 2 of the enclosed drawing show the arrangement of the flying drum shear in accordance with the invention Fig 1 shows the vertical cross section (A-A) led by the axes of the drums, which is shown on fig 2 Fig 2 shows the horizontal cross section (B-B) led perpendicularly on the axes of the drums, which is shown on fig 1 The drums on fig 1 are turned through an angle of 90 behind the cutting position and on fig 2 the drums are drawn with the blades in the cutting position
Examples of the inventions performance
A flying drum shear consists of a stand, drums and a drive The stand of the shear is horizontally separated in the level 24 of the strip that is to be cut and is formed by bearing housings 5, 5' and 6, 6', which are connected by prestressed vertical anchors 19 and horizontal screws 2 , that tightens the fitting washer 20 Upper and lower drums
1 ,2 are mounted in main bearings 9 Bearing housings are coupled by the upper and lower cross beams There are balancing bearings 10 on each pin of the drum next to the bearing 9 which are mounted in balancing sleeves M , in stands that are radially free Each balancing sleeve V\_ is connected with a draw rod 12, which pulls the drum 1, 2 over the prestressed spring 13 in an oblique direction of an angle, that is identical with the resultant of the vertical component of the shearing force and horizontal portion of the force from the cut, that is so called - separating forces Thus the functional clearance in main bearing 9 of the drum is constantly eliminated in the same direction as bearing 9 is loaded by the resultant force from the cut
The blade 3, 3' is in the drum fastened in a slot together with a bevelled plate 4, 4' so that the cutting edge 3, 3' is horizontally bevelled and has an opposite direction of inclination to the direction of the drum rotation 1, 2 The seating of the knife is - in accordance to fig 2 - made so that the knife 3, 3' is located in the slot behind the axis of the drum 1, 2, i e the same direction as that of the rotation of the drum 1, 2 Both drums 1, 2 are mutually bound with gear wheels in a ratio 1 1 The gear wheel 1_4 of the lower drum is fixed with the pin of the lower drum 2, the gear wheel 15 of the upper drum is fixed with the pin of the upper drum 1 On the pin of the upper drum 1 is also mounted a freely rotating, eliminating gear wheel 6 and with this pin is fixed a driver 17 The eliminating gear wheel 16 and the driver 17. are stretched against each other by prestressed springs j_8 Thus, by means of springs, the backlash is permanently eliminated in the mesh of gear wheels 14 and 15 The mesh of teeth is then prestressed by springs The force of the springs 18 has to be big enough so that the dynamic torgues of the shear drive 22 can be reliably carried by these prestressed springs during periodical acceleration and deceleration of the rotating parts of the upper drum jj-,e shear drive 22 is a precisely regulated motor, connected by a torsionally rigid backlash - free coupling 23 On fig 1 the drive 22 of the shears is connected with the lower drum 2 by a corrugated tube (type of a coupling) Flying drum shear works - in accordance with the invention - in the following way
A strip of sheet metal that is to be cut is fed to the shear by a set speed by means of a feeder Programme controlled drive 22 of the shear periodically accelerates and
decelerates drums 1_, 2 of the shears between two cuts so that the horizontal element of the circumferencial velocity of the blades is identical with the velocity of the strip feeding and the shear can cut the exact length, that was preset. With this arrangement of the knives 3, 3' cutting starts on the other side of the drums 1_, 2 to where the drive 22 is connected. The horizontally bevelled knives 3, 3' cause a progressive cut, the vertical inclination of the cutting edge is the largest at the beginning of cutting and gradually decreases towards the end of cutting.
That means, that at the beginning of cutting the cutting force is the smallest and gradually increases at the end of cutting and that is why the required torgue supplied by the upper drum on the beginning of cutting is the smallest. That has a positive influence on minimal torsion of the drum. Due to the described arrangement of knives, with regard to the axes of drums, the resulting torgue affecting the lower drum 2, is a sum of a torgue of a vertical cutting force and a horizontal separating force. On the upper drum 1 the torgue of the horizontal separating force is deducted from the torgue of the vertical cutting force. That is why the torgue, transmitted by gear wheels 14, 15 is very small and the width of these wheels is also smaller.
For cutting very thin sheet metals, for example around 0, 1 mm, the clearance between the knives must be in thousandths of mm and the cutting edges 3, 3' must be almost absolutely parallel. It is possible to conduct very fine final tuning of this parallelity during mounting and after some time of operation by adjustment of a fitting washer 20. This is also possible because the width of gear wheels 1_4, 15 has been reduced and misalignment of the upper drum 1 against the lower drum 2 in range of thousandths, possibly hundredths of mm has no influence on function of gear wheels. Assuring of the precise parallelity of knives 3, 3' has a positive influence on the quality of cut surfaces of sheets and also increases service life of cutting edges.
