Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device designed to ensure the replacement of a support roll for a strip, in particular a steel strip, continuously scrolling through a heat treatment oven, without interrupting treatment, that is to say the movement of the strip in the oven.
- FR-A-2 540 138 a device for carrying out the replacement of a tape support roller by another roller, in a processing oven thermal.
- the two interchangeable rollers are placed, in diametrically opposite position, on the periphery of a mounted cylinder on a support structure, the rotation of this cylinder around its axis allowing to substitute one roll for another.
- the present invention proposes to provide another solution to the problem consisting, in a heat treatment furnace of strips of continuous movement, replacing a support roller with a new roller, without interrupt the movement of the strip, this new solution not presenting the disadvantages of the device according to the prior art recalled above.
- each of said rollers supports is provided with cooling means, these means being able to be designed so as to further ensure rapid cooling of said rollers, low position, when evacuated after swapping operations.
- each support roller is mounted on its flanges by means of a radial slot or slot provided on each of said flanges for receiving the roller support bearing corresponding and the means ensuring the removable fixing of each roller support on its flanges are made in the form of counter plates on which are respectively mounted said bearings, these against plates being by example screwed or bolted to said flanges.
- the axis on which each pivots of said flanges is cooled with water can be protected by a lining of a material refractory, which can be produced for example in the form of an assembly of compressed ceramic fibers.
- said central buffer can be produced in two parts each provided with displacement means making it possible to lift them separately from each other.
- the device the present invention is designed so as to permanently ensure the quality of the guidance of the strip in the oven, without degradation of this guidance or of the quality of the product during the swap operation of the tape support roller.
- a roll must be able to be replaced without stopping the running of the strip by swapping with a second identical roller arranged in a waiting position, the strip always being supported by at least one roller during the operations to swap and disassemble the roller to be taken out of service, the roller support in service being always rotated in synchronism with the tape running speed.
- the device which is the subject of the invention comprises two lateral flanges 1 and 2 designed to receive the bearings of the support rollers 3 and 4 respectively.
- the flanges 1 and 2 are respectively mounted on a central shaft 5 and 6 possibly cooled by water circulation. Trees such as 5 and 6 can be protected for example by a lining of a refractory material allowing avoid the presence of water cooling means. This protection of shafts 5, 6 can be produced using an assembly 7 of ceramic fibers compressed.
- the shafts 5 and 6 of the lateral flanges 1 and 2 are driven in rotation respectively by a motor unit 8, 9, the drive being carried out so as to ensure the synchronization of the angular displacements of the flanges side 1, 2 in order to guarantee the position of the support roller (for example the roller 3 in Figure 1) in the working position.
- the respective bearings of the shafts 5 and 6 of the lateral flanges 1 and 2 are mounted on the frame of the oven, on elements of the latter such as 10 and 10 ', on the on the other side of the oven.
- the tape support rollers 3 and 4 are removably mounted on the corresponding side plates 1 and 2 respectively.
- these flasks have a radial slot or light such as 11, 12 (FIG. 2) intended to respectively receive a bearing from a support roller.
- Each roller bearing supports 3 and 4 is fixed on a counter plate such as 13, 14 using means of suitable fastening, for example by screwing or bolting in order to allow quick and easy disassembly of these bearings.
- Each support roll 3 or 4 is rotated through a drive group such as 15 and a double gimbal transmission system as clearly seen in the figure 3, the rotation of each roller being synchronized with the speed of movement of band B.
- Each of said support rollers 3 and 4 is provided with cooling means, these means can be designed or produced so as to further ensure rapid cooling of said rollers, when these are brought into position low, as will be described below, during their evacuation after the operations of permutation.
- the device further comprises a central liftable buffer 16 making it possible to close off the lower opening provided in the bottom of the oven to ensure the evacuation of a support roll such as 3 or 4 from the oven enclosure to the outside, after a permutation operation, as will be described below.
- the central buffer 16 can be moved in a vertical translational movement using a designated double jack system as a whole by reference 17.
- each lifting buffer such as 18 and 19 is provided with a cylinders 20, 20 'mounted respectively on a carriage 21, 22 moving along of a track 23, 24 respectively.
- the tape support roller in use is the roller 3 supported by the pair of lateral flanges 1.
- the roller 4 supported by the side flanges 2 is in the waiting position.
- the first phase of this permutation operation consists in moving down the central buffer 16 in order to allow the rotation of the lateral flanges 1 and 2. This movement is carried out using the jack systems 17 and in FIG. 2, there is shown in broken lines, the position of the tampon central 16 at the end of this first phase. Then, control groups 8 and 9 synchronized rotation drive side flanges 1 and 2 are set action so as to bring the roller 4 into contact with the strip, this roller being driven in rotation synchronized with the running speed of the tape B. Then, the used roller 3 is moved by the rotation of its support flanges 1 so as to move it away from the strip. Note that during this phase of permutation of support rollers, movement synchronization was ensured angles of the side plates 1, 2 supports of the rollers 3 and 4 in order to guarantee the position of a support roller successively 3 and 4 in the working position.
- the jack system 17 ensures the raising of the central buffer 16 in order to close off the lower opening provided in the bottom of the oven (position in solid lines on the Figure 2) and seal the oven.
- the used roller 3 to be removed then rests on its liftable buffer 18 in the high position, this liftable buffer further ensuring the sealing of the opening of the hearth of the furnace during this phase evacuation of the roller 3.
- the bearings of the roller 3 are then disassembled then the latter is released from the slots 11 provided in its support flanges 1.
- the actuator system 20 is then actuated so as to lower the roller 3 supported by the pad 18, which releases this roller from its flanges 1.
- the used roller is then evacuated outside using the carriage 21 and removed by example using an overhead crane.
- the new roller is therefore positioned on the pad 18 and the carriage is moved 21 along its track 23 so as to bring the roller supported by the pad 18 below the position of the flanges 1 intended to support it.
- the actuator system 20 is then actuated in order to raise the buffer 20 to bring the bearings of the new roller engaged in the slots or radial slots 11 provided in the flanges 1.
- the counter plates such as 13 are then fixed ensuring the bearings of the new roller on the flanges 1. This new roller is ready to be put into service when it has to be swapped with roller 4 currently in service.
- the dashed lines show the rotational movements of the flanges 1 and 2 which are generated during this operation swap at the end of which the new roller positioned on the flanges 1 is put into service and the roller 4, which is then the used roller, is then discharged as described above.
- stamp central 16 can be realized in two independent parts, movable separately, by example using separate cylinders.
