Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooling bed for rails with a device for transferring the rails From a feeding roller table to the cooling bed, which is used to bend the Rails are set up against the bending that occurs during cooling.
  • the known devices of this type grip with hooks behind the rail foot and grind the rail from the roller table onto the cooling bed.
  • the rail In the middle of its length, the rail is moved a greater distance than in the end areas.
  • the rail is bent in this way.
  • the bend generated by the device not infrequently falls short of the desired dimension, particularly at the ends.
  • the reason for this is that after the ends the length remaining beyond a pulling hook and thus the mass of the rail and thus the friction force holding back the rail decreases. After all, the frictional force is no longer sufficient; an end section slips instead of bending. With attacks you occasionally try to hold the ends back. However, this is unsatisfactory in various relationships. There is mainly a risk of kinking.
  • the invention has for its object a reliable device for transferring and at the same time to bend the rails.
  • this purpose is achieved in that the device from the Roller table that can be moved, raised and lowered in the cooling bed for the rails has and at least in a central region of the rail length against the Underside of the rail foot directed counterhold and at least in end areas of the rail length against the top of the rail foot the cushions are arranged and the displacement paths of the cushions according to the desired bending are controlled.
  • the pads are in a position in which they are between rollers of the roller table are raised above the transport level of the roller table and take the rail on. You put the rail on the cooling bed and put it there by putting it back be lowered below the level of the cooling bed.
  • the rail is bent only by the attack of the counterhold on the rail foot, and exactly.
  • the rail head does not touch any stops and receives no grinding marks.
  • the rest of the treatment is still red-hot and Correspondingly soft, gentle on the rails: There are also none on the rail foot Grinding marks, and the attack of the counterhold, preferably with spherical contact surfaces, does not lead to disturbing impressions.
  • the swiveling of the counter holder in the sinking forward and down, i.e. in the effective position upwards and towards the rail foot also means minimal risk of damage to the rail foot.
  • the counter support in the direction of displacement could be rather rigid in that its height position is irrelevant for the backward movement of the support and it also leaves space for a rolled profile other than a rail.
  • the rear counter-holder in the direction of displacement can also be pivoted, in the opposite direction to the front one. That is, it can be retracted by swiveling upwards and backwards and pushed forward by swiveling it forwards and downwards.
  • the two counterholders can grip the rail foot like thumb and finger, but with play.
  • the counterholders including a common drive, are arranged via a lever linkage in a unit that is adjustable in the horizontal direction relative to the rest of the support, which otherwise preferably forms a shoulder, behind which the rear counterholder can be retracted in the direction of displacement.
  • the position of the two counterholders can be adapted to different rail cross sections in such a way that the rail head is essentially flush with the support and thus one rail can always be placed close to the other.
  • the contact surface can be adapted to different cross-sectional sizes of other rolled sections. The said paragraph forms a stop for them, which takes them with them when accelerating at the beginning of the shift.
  • the pads are conveniently raised and lowered in such a way that they as Carriages or sledges arranged on a table below the roller table and the cooling bed, Liftable and lowerable guide arranged and preferably by means of a chain drive are movable.
  • the supports can be controlled separately into the position in which they are raised by means of a range finder directed at the rail. This means that the supports can be placed exactly under the rails that are already slightly warped on the roller table, especially the counterholders.
  • the shift time is the same for all editions, with the different shift paths correspond to different speeds.
  • the bending processes are running then not with different degrees of cooling of the rail.
  • the cooling bed designated 1 is loaded with rails 3 through a roller table 2, their run over the cooling bed and their assumed form in Fig. 1 schematically are shown. In reality, the rails are close together. she are removed by a roller table 4.
  • the cooling bed 1 is of the type of a walking beam conveyor with a fixed grate 5 and a walking beam grate 6, which appear in FIG. 2.
  • the roller table 2 has a substructure 7, on which the beam ends of the walking beam grating 6 are also supported by brackets 8. The roles of the roller table 2 are designated 9, their bearings with 10.
  • the roller table 2 is delimited by a guide bar 11 on the side opposite the cooling bed 1.
  • a number of, for example, thirty carriages 13 can each be displaced or moved on a guide 14 in the form of a U-profile by means of a chain drive.
  • the chain drive comprises a chain 17 placed over a drive roller 15 and a deflection roller 16, and a geared motor 18.
  • the guide 14 is supported on a bracket 19 of the substructure 7 and on a column 20 such that it can be raised and lowered via angle levers 21 mounted in the bracket 19 and the column 20 and two intermediate supports 22 and 23, of which the intermediate support 22 is rigid and the intermediate support 23 is articulated to the guide 14.
  • the angle levers 21 can be pivoted in the same direction by means of a hydraulic rod drive 24.
  • Fig. 2 shows the one end position of the angle lever 21, in which the guide 14 assumes its lower position.
  • the carriage 13 is drawn in its starting position.
  • the carriage moves between two rollers 9 into a position in which it lies under the rail 3 with a support 25.
  • the support 25 now rises above the conveying plane of the roller table 2 and thus takes up the rail.
  • the upper end position is shown in dash-dot lines at 26.
  • the carriage continues between two bars of the grids 5 and 6.
  • the support 25 is then lowered below the supporting plane of the fixed grate 5 by lowering the guide 14 and the rail 3 is thus placed on the grate 5 .
  • the carriage 13 with the support 25 then moves back. From position 26 to position 27, however, measures specified below are taken.
  • FIG. 3 For this is a unit 28 in the carriage 13 by means of a crank mechanism 29 or the like. arranged in an adjustable horizontal direction, the details of which are shown in FIG. 3 are.
  • the assembly 28 is between the two parts of the, two-part, support 25 arranged.
  • the section of FIG. 2 lies in front of the support 25 as a whole and shows the carriage 13 in side view.
  • 3 is between the two Parts of the support 25 placed by the assembly 28; the front is different broken away from two identical side walls 30 of the assembly.
  • an angle lever 34 Between the two side walls 30 are axially rigidly connected to these 31, 32 and 33 an angle lever 34, an angle lever 35 and a hydraulic or pneumatic drive 36 pivotally mounted for both.
  • the drive 36 engages the an arm of the bell crank 34.
  • the angle lever 35 With the other, forming a counter-holder 37 Arm, the angle lever 35 is connected by an articulated intermediate member 38.
  • the Intermediate member 38 in turn engages one arm of the angle lever 35, while the other arm forms a counter-holder 39.
  • Brackets 37 and 39 are the arms for the rail foot 40, which they hold between them, while the rail head 41 is approximately flush with the support 25.
  • this is the active position of the counterholders 37 and 39: the counterholder 39 lies with its crowned end approximately in front of the center of the underside of the rail foot.
  • the counter-holder 37 which is also crowned at the end, lies with its short length transversely in front of the top of one rail foot half.
  • the counter-holder 37 In the retracted position shown in dashed lines, the counter-holder 37 is lowered below the surface of the support 25, and the counter-holder 39 is retracted behind a shoulder 42 which is formed by a section of the side walls 30 on the support 25 which projects beyond the support 25.
  • Brackets 37 and 39 suitable for different profile sizes.
  • the assembly 28 further after to the right until the rail head is again approximately flush with the support 25 completes.
  • Each carriage 13 is assigned a rangefinder 44 which detects the position of the rail 3 in the region of the carriage concerned and allows the carriage to travel under the rail in such a way that the support 25 picks up the rail exactly at the desired location.
  • the counterholders are then swiveled into their operative position and grip the rail foot.
  • the rail is bent in accordance with these differences. Regardless of whether the rail has to be pressed from one side or the other at the point in question: the required counterhold 37 or 39 is always available.
