FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of a hot-rolled section steel, and in particular relates to a roll assembly for rolling a special-shaped steel and a rolling mill train.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] At present, the rolling process often used for a special-shaped steel is: using rectangular billets or square billets to pass through multiple box passes, slit passes, preformcavities and final product passes, and finally rolling into the special-shaped steel of the target shape.
[0003] Take the forklift beam section steel as an example to illustrate. The forklift beam section steel is the steel used to make the fork arm carrier beam of the forklift and is supported on the load-bearing member of the forklift, therefore, for the forklift beam section steel, the requirements for the performance, the dimensional accuracy and the surface quality are relatively high. As shown in Figure 1, the section of the forklift beam section steel is composed of a right-angled trapezoid area 1 and a rectangular area 2, which is the special-shaped steel. The width of the right-angled trapezoid region 1 is H1, the thickness is B1, the width of the rectangular area 2 is H, and the thickness is B. As shown in Figure 2, the rolling steel component of the special-shaped steel rolling mill in the prior art includes an upper rolled roller 3 and a lower rolled roller 4, the upper rolled roller 3 and the lower rolled roller 4 are formed into a cavity to match the shape of the target special-shaped steel, the steel is rolled into the desired shapewhen passing through the aforesaid cavity.
[0004] The thickness B1 of the right-angled trapezoid area 1 is the same as its width H1 in most forklift beam section steels with different specifications., therefore, the special-shaped steel rolling mill only needs to make the width H and the thickness B of the rectangular area 2 of the forklift beamsection steel adjustable, which means the special-shaped steel rolling mill can be universally used for most forklift beam section steels with different specifications. However, in the prior art, the forklift beam section steel rolled by the special-shaped steel rolling mill using the aforesaid upper rolled roller 3 and lower rolled roller 4 has a small adjustment range for the width H and thickness B of the rectangular area, which leads to the low production efficiency and the large roll investment in the production of the multi-specification forklift beam section steel in the workshop. And when the rolls are worn, the rolls can only be replaced, the consumption of the rolls is large, which further increases the cost.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved technical solution against the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art.

There is difference in the distance between the left forming surface 7 and the right forming surface 81 in the roll assembly of each rolling mill, one of the rolling mills is selected to be put into the rolling work during steel rolling.
[0021] The rolling mill includes a stand and a roll assembly provided on the stand for rolling a special-shaped steel (hereinafter referred to as a roll assembly). The roll assembly includes an upper roll 5, a lower roll 6, a left roll 9 and a right roll 8, the left roll 9 has a left forming surface 7, the right roll 8 has a right forming surface 81, the upper roll 5 has an upper forming surface 51, the lower roll 6 has a lower forming surface 61, the left molding surface 7, the right molding surface 81, the upper molding surface51 and the lower molding surface 61 together enclose a cavity; the upper roll 5, the lower roll 6 can respectively move along an up-down direction, the left roll 9 and the right roll 8 can respectively move along a the left-right direction.According to the different shapes of the target special-shaped steel, the roll assemblies with different forming surfaces are selected, the cavities enclosed by different roll assemblies are different, that is, the shapes of the forming surfaces of the upper roll 5, the lower roll 6, the left roll 9 and the right roll 8 are different, there are as many sets of roll assemblies as there are many shapes of special-shaped steels,the present invention cannot give examples one by one, the rolling steel assembly for rolling a forklift beam section steel is taken as an example for description.
[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, a movement space is formed between the left roll 9 and the right roll 8, the upper roll 5 and the lower roll 6 move up and down in the movement space. The left forming surface 7 is a non-planar surface, the left forming surface 7 includes a first plane71, a second plane 72 and an inclined plane73;the first plane 71 and the second plane 72 are parallel and extend along the up-down direction, the inclined plane 73 connects the first plane 71 and the second plane 72. The second plane 72 is located at the lower left of the first plane 71, the lower roll 6 moves in the space between the second plane 72 and the right roll 8, that is, the cavity wall of the cavity has a roll groove, the shape of the roll groove is a right-angled trapezium, which is enclosed by the inclined plane 73, a part of the second plane 72 and a part of the lower forming surface 61.
[0023] The cross-sectional shape of the cavity corresponds to that of the forklift beam section steel, includes a right-angled trapezoid area and a rectangular area, the boundary of the right-angled trapezoidal area is defined by a part of the second plane 72, the inclined plane 73 and a part of the lower forming surface 61. The boundary of the rectangular area is defined by the upper forming surface 51, a part of the lower forming surface 61, the left forming surface 7 and a part of the first plane 71.
[0024] When the roll assembly is worn, it can be compensated online, in particularly:
if the upper forming surface 51 is worn by 1mm, the upper forming surface 51 will be caused to move up by 1mm, the thickness B of the final rolled product will be 1mm thicker than the standard, at this time, the 1mm wear of the upper forming surface 51can be compensated just by moving the upper roll 5 downward by 1mm, the thickness B of the rectangular part 2 of the forklift beam section steel is controlled to return to the standard size, so that there is no need to stop rolling and remove the roll assembly for cavity repair, rather, the roll assembly can be adjusted online without affecting the subsequent continuous rolling. When the size of the rolled piece exceeds the standard due to the wear of the cavity, the position of the upper roll 5 can be adjusted again to compensate the wear.
if the lower forming surface 61 is worn by 1mm, the lower forming surface 61 will be caused to move down by 1mm, the thicknesses B and B1 of the final rolled products will be 1mm thicker than the standard,at this time, the 1mm wear of the lower forming surface 61 can be compensated just by moving the lower horizontal roll 1upward by 1mm, the thickness B of the rectangular part 2 and B1 of the right-angled trapezoid part 1of the forklift beam section steel are controlled to return to the standard size, so that there is no need to stop rolling and remove the roll assembly for cavity repair, rather, the roll assembly can be adjusted online without affecting the subsequent continuous rolling . When the size of the rolled piece exceeds the standard again due to the wear of the cavity, the position of the lower roll can be adjusted again to compensate the wear.
if the right forming surface 81 is worn by 1mm, the width H of the final rolled product will be 1mm larger than the standard,at this time, the 1mm wear of the right roll 8 can be compensated just by moving the right roll 8 to the left by 1mm (or by moving the left roll 9 to the right by 1mm), the width H of the rectangular part 2 of the forklift beam section steel is controlled to return to the standard size, so that there is no need to stop rolling and remove the roll assembly for cavity repair, rather, the roll assembly can be adjusted online without affecting the subsequent continuous rolling. When the size of the rolled piece exceeds the standard again due to the wear of the cavity, the position of the right roll 8 or the left roll 9 can be adjusted again to compensate the wear.
if the first plane 71, the second plane 72 and the inclined plane 73 are all worn by 1mm, the width H of the final rolled product will be 1mm larger than the standard, at this time, the 1mm wear of the first plane 71, the second plane 72 and the inclined plane 73 can be compensated just by moving the left roll 9 to the right by 1mm (or by moving the right roll 8 to the left by 1 mm), the width H of the rectangular part 2 of the forklift beam section steel is controlled to return to the standard size, so that there is no need to stop rolling and remove the roll assembly for cavity repair, but the roll assembly can be adjusted online without affecting the subsequent continuous rolling. When the size of the rolled piece exceeds the standard again due to the wear of the cavity, the position of the left roll 9 or the right roll 8 can be adjusted again to compensate the wear.
if the inclined plane 73 is worn by 1mm, the thickness B1 of the final rolled product will be 1mm larger than the standard,at this time, the 1mm wear of the inclined plane73 can be compensated just by moving the upper roll 5 and the lower roll 6 upward by 1mm simultaneously, the thickness B1 of the right-angled trapezoid part 1 of the forklift beam section steel is controlled to return to the standard size, so that there is no need to stop rolling and remove the roll assembly for cavity repair, rather, the roll assembly can be adjusted online without affecting the subsequent continuous rolling. When the B1size of the rolled piece exceeds the standard again due to the wear of the cavity, the positions of the upper roll 5 and the lower roll 6 can be adjusted again simultaneously to compensate the wear of the inclined plane 73.
[0025] At the same time, when it is necessary to roll forklift beam section steels with the same size of the right-angled trapezoid areas and different widths H and thicknesses B of the rectangular areas, the rolling production can be realized by the intervention of replacing with other rolling mills in the rolling mill train (the upper forming surface 51 and the lower forming surface 61 of the roll assembly of the replaced rolling mill match with the width H of the target forklift beam section steel),which has a simple structure and a low cost. When rolling several types of forklift beam section steels with little difference in size, the size of the corresponding part of the cavity can be adjusted by controlling the positions of the upper roll 5, the lower roll 6, the left roll 9 and the right roll 8, so as to be adapted to the target dimensions of each part of the forklift beam section steel. The upper roll 5 is moved downward, the lower roll 6 is moved upward, or both actions are performed simultaneously (the adjustment range is larger when the two actions are performed simultaneously) to reduce the thickness B of the rectangular area. The upper roll 5 moves upward, the lower roll 6 moves downward, or both actions are performed simultaneously (the adjustment range is larger when the two actions are performed simultaneously) to increase the thickness B of the rectangular area, wherein, the upward and downward movement of the lower roll 6 not only affect the thickness B of the rectangular area but also affect the thickness B1 of the right-angled trapezoid area. The left roll 9 is moved to the right, the right roll 8 is moved to the left, or both actions are performed simultaneously to reduce the width H of the rectangular area. The left roll 9 is moved to the left, the right roll 8 is moved to the right, or both actions are performed simultaneously to increase the width of the rectangular area. The upper roll 5 and the lower roll 6 may move up simultaneously by a same stroke to reduce the thickness B1 of the rectangular area,without changing the thickness B of the rectangular area.. The upper roll 5 and the lower roll 6 may move down simultaneously by a same stroke to increase the thickness B1 of the rectangular area, withouting changing the thickness B of the rectangular area..
[0026] The specific embodiment of the roll assembly for rolling the special-shaped steel of the present invention has the same structure asthat in the specific embodiment of the above-mentioned rolling mill train, and will not be repeated again.
[0027] Conclusively, in comparison with the prior art, the roll assembly and the steel rolling stand for rolling the special-shaped steel adopted in the present invention have the following technical effects:
- 1) Can be applied to the special-shaped steels with similar shapes but different sizes, and when the cavity wall of the cavity is worn, it can be compensated online, without the need to stop production and disassemble the rolls, which ensures the production efficiency and saves the purchase cost of the roll.
