Description

"MULTI-FUNCTIONAL ROLLING STAND AND RELATIVE METHOD OF
USE"
% ^ Φ ψ *
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention concerns a multi-functional rolling stand which is able to perform at least some of the functions of a forging press, and also the relative method of use.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is known that, in order to work large-size ingots or blooms, nowadays forging presses are also and mainly used.
Forging presses of the known type, however, have several limitations and rather long working times; moreover they require careful control in every specific working step of forging.
Furthermore, forging presses sometimes require that the piece being worked is re-heated, so that it is possible to continue forging efficiently.
All this causes considerable disadvantages in terms of plant productivity, times for transferring the products, the need for manpower and other disadvantages.
One purpose of the present invention is to achieve a rolling stand that allows to overcome the limitations of forging presses in order to achieve, starting from large-size ingots or plates, products with a round, square or rectangular section, in a short time and simply.
Another purpose of the present invention is to achieve a rolling stand that allows to work blooms or round pieces having a maximum transverse size up to a value that goes from about 1250mm to about 1450mm, and plates having a maximum width up to a value that goes from about 1400mm to about 1500mm and having a maximum thickness from about 400mm to about 500mm.
A rolling stand that therefore allows extremely high compression forces, for example so as to work ingots in the same way as a forge, as described in more detail hereafter, and having these operating potentialities, has never before been hypothesized or described. In order to achieve it, Proprietor has had to overcome the classical and widespread norms, by means of a specific study and related experimentation, obtaining a rolling stand that also transcends the classical norms relating to two-high roughing stands. The Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is set forth and characterized in the independent claims, while the dependent claims describe other characteristics of the invention or variants to the main inventive idea.
In accordance with the above purposes, a rolling stand according to the present invention is suitable for working large plates, large blooms, large round pieces and other large-size semi-worked products, for example large tonnage ingots, 25- 30 tonnes, with a diameter of up to 1400mm, or similar products.
According to a characteristic feature of the present invention, the rolling stand comprises rolls having a diameter comprised between 1600mm and 2000mm, advantageously about 1800mm. According to the present invention, the linear dimensions of the table of the rolls are comprised between about 3500mm and about 4500mm, advantageously around 4000mm.
According to a variant, the table of the rolls has a flat central zone with a width comprised between 1500mm and 2500mm, advantageously about
2000mm, and at least a lateral zone, advantageously two lateral zones, with a width comprised between about 900mm and about 1000mm, which have suitable channels or grooves.
The channels can advantageously be used for working sidewise, or edgewise, the wide plate after rolling on the main dimension, or for working round pieces in the case of products starting from a bar shape. According to one solution, the channels have a depth comprised between about 60mm and about 100mm, advantageously between about 80mm and about 90mm, while their width varies from about 80mm to about 400mm.
According to a variant of the present invention, the rolling stand comprises positioning bolts able to act on the chocks of the rolls to position them quickly in the desired position between one pass and the next of the product being worked.
The bolts are provided with a trapezoid threading having a pitch of about 44mm in order to have the desired degree of accuracy in the positioning.
In particular, the two rolling rolls can assume a work position close up to or substantially close up to each other, and can move away from each other as far as a maximum travel or gap comprised between 1300mm and 1500mm, advantageously around 1400mm.
The distanced position can be assumed both during the sidewise or edgewise rolling of a bloom or wide plate, after it has been turned over on one side, and also for working an ingot for example of a size of around 1400mm.
The high compression force, in particular in the case of ingots, also causes the elimination or great reduction of the internal porosities that are typically present in the ingots. Another variant of the present invention provides a speed of positioning the chocks of the rolls that goes from about 60 mm/s to about 90 mm/s, advantageously about 75 mm/s.
According to a variant of the present invention, the entrance angle, or rather half-angle, has a maximum value of around 20° per roll. According to a variant of the present invention one rollerway is provided upstream and one rollerway downstream of the rolling stand.
Another variant provides that the rolling stand is reversing so that it can work with the product advancing in both directions of feed.
According to a variant of the present invention the maximum rolling speed is comprised between 80 m/min and 130 m/min, advantageously around 100 m/min.
The minimum rolling speed is comprised between 0.1 m/min and 1 m/min.
A variant of the present invention provides a motor to drive the rolling stand having a power comprised between 7000 Kw and 14,000 Kw. If a motor is used having a power of about 8000 Kw, the torque will be around 3000 KNm.
The compression force can reach up to about 6000 tonnes in the case of ingots, depending on the type of product being worked and on the reduction ratio to be obtained. Thanks to these high forces in play, which allow to obtain compressions comprised between 100 and 150 mm, the rolling stand according to the present invention is similar to a forge so that, as we said, the internal porosities of the product are eliminated.
According to a variant of the invention, upstream and/or downstream of the rolling rolls there is at least a tilter device to dispose the plate on one side, so as - A -
then to be able to perform the rolling pass sidewise or edgewise, or edge-refining, in the same rolling stand using a suitable channel of the lateral zones. In this way it is not necessary to provide suitable vertical edge-refining rolls upstream or downstream of the stand. Another variant of the present invention provides a thruster element at least on a front side of the rolling stand.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERENTIAL FORM OF
EMBODIMENT
With reference to fig. 1, a multi-functional rolling stand 10 according to the present invention comprises a shoulder 11 , disposed on a base 20, in which two rolling rolls are mounted, respectively lower 12a and upper 12b.
The rolling stand 10 can perform rolling, forging and/or finishing functions for large size rolled products 13, for example wide plates, blooms, ingots, large size round pieces and others, having a maximum transverse size up to around 1500mm and, in the case of plates, a maximum thickness of up to 500mm.
The compression force can reach up to about 6000 tonnes, and allows to obtain compressions comprised between 100 and 150 mm, depending on the type of product 13 being worked and the reduction ratio to be obtained, in particular in the case of ingots so as to obtain a better internal quality of the product emerging from the compression pass.
The rolls 12a and 12b are associated in a known manner with supporting chocks which allow a reciprocal displacement thereof, by means of suitable positioning bolts, between a close up or substantially close up position and a substantially distanced position.
Fig. 1 shows the close up position of the upper roll 12b, indicated by a line of dashes, which defines the minimum gap in the rolling pass of the product to be rolled/forged 13, whereas the distanced position defines the maximum value of the gap "1" that can reach up to 1400mm.
The gap defines the maximum size of an ingot that can be worked between said rolls 12a, 12b and/or the size of the wide plate after it has been tilted over onto its side so as to carry out the sidewise or edgewise working.
Upstream and downstream of the rolling rolls 12a, 12b there are rollerways 14 to transport the product which, since the rolling stand 10 is of the reversing type, perform the function, on different occasions, of feeding and also of discharging the product 13 to/from the rolls 12a, 12b.
According to the invention, the rolls 12a and 12b have a diameter "d" of around 1800mm and a table with an overall width of around 4000mm. Figs. 3a, 3b and 3c show how the rolls 12a, 12b have a flat zone 15, substantially central, said table having a width advantageously around 2000mm for rolling/forging wide plates, blooms, ingots 13, or other similar large size products, on their main dimension.
At the sides of the flat zone 15 there are zones 16, having a width from about 900mm to about 1000mm, which have suitable channels or grooves or throats 17 that can serve (17a) either for sidewise or edgewise working of the wide plate 13 after rolling on the main dimension, or (17b, 17c) for working round pieces in the case of round pieces in the case of long starting products in the form of a bar.
According to one embodiment, said channels 17a, 17b, 17c have a depth comprised between about 60mm and about 100mm, advantageously between about 80mm and about 90mm, whereas the width varies from about 80mm to about 400mm.
Upstream and/or downstream of the rolling rolls 12a, 12b there is at least a tilter device, denoted in its entirety by the reference number 18 in fig. 2a, which is configured to dispose the plate 13 on one side, so that it can then perform the rolling pass edgewise in the same rolling stand.
In particular, the plate 13 is tilted over, according to the direction indicated by 30, until it assumes a substantially vertical position (shown by a line of dashes with 13a in fig. 2a), using a fork type device 19 able to be selectively driven by means of a jack 21 that acts on a lever 119 disposed on the rear of the fork 19.
The fork device 19 is mounted, in the solution shown here, on a positioning arm 22, governed by the drive of a jack 23, in turn mounted on a translation slider 24 movable by means of wheels 25.
The translation slider 24 allows to selectively insert the tilter device 18 in cooperation with the rollerways 14 that feed/discharge the product 13 associated with the rolling stand 10, in order to tilt the plate 13 onto one side. When the product 13 is in this substantially vertical position, it is held in position by means of containing and guide elements 32, so that it can be returned inside the rolling stand 10 between the rolls 12a, 12b, using the same rollerway 14.
The containing and guide elements 32 can move linearly in the direction 33 (fig. 2a), so as to support the product 13 in a vertical position and accompany it through the rolls 12a, 12b, disposed in a reciprocally distanced position (as indicated by a continuous line in fig. 1), and then grip the product 13 exiting from the rolls 12a, 12b after the edgewise working has been completed.
Fig. 2b shows schematically a tilter device for blooms or ingots 118, the function of which, substantially as shown above for the tilter device 18, is to tilt the bloom or ingot 13 along its longitudinal axis, when it is not gripped by the rolls 12a, 12b, in order to dispose it in a suitable position to perform the reduction in size on different generatrixes. When it has been tilted over, the bloom or ingot 13 is again returned between the rolls 12a and 12b in order to carry out said reduction in size. The tilter device 1 18 provides a fork 219, shorter in size than the fork 19 as described above, and able to be selectively driven by means of a jack 121 that acts on a lever 29 disposed on the rear of the fork 219 so as to lift the fork 219 in the direction indicated, and to determine the tilting over of the ingot 13.
Modifications or variants may be made to the present invention, which in any case come within the field of protection as defined by the attached claims.
