Definitions
- the invention relates to a device comprising a metallurgical vessel which is pivotably mounted about a horizontal axis, wherein the vessel has two support pins extending from the vessel on two opposite sides, wherein each of the two support pins is received by a bearing, wherein the bearing is received in a bearing holder and wherein the bearing holder is arranged on a stationary bearing stand or on a foundation.
- Metallurgical vessels of this type include, for example, swiveling converters mounted in bearings that are subject to wear; regular maintenance is also required. If such a bearing supporting the converter becomes worn, the bearing, usually a rolling bearing (though sometimes a plain bearing is used), is opened, or more precisely, the bearing housing that holds the bearing. The converter system is then lifted with a device to release it from the bearing housings.
- a support structure is erected in the converter pit, extending from the pit floor to the underside of the support ring or the converter itself. Hydraulic cylinders are mounted on this stand to lift the system. Additionally, a hydraulic lifting device can be positioned under the converter's gearbox to support the gearbox's slewing drive.
- Suitable storage facilities are found, for example, in the DE 10 2005 012 601 B2 , in the DE 10 2014 219 307 B3 , in the DE 20 2007 005 054 U1 , in the DE 66 05 434 , in the NL 275 680 A and in the GB 1 038 886 A described or mentioned.
- JP S58 207309 A and the US 2007/278722 A1 The images show metallurgical vessels being lifted on support pins using a lifting device.
- the worn bearing is inspected, serviced, or removed and replaced with a new one, which may be split or undivided.
- the bearing is often rotated to a different position on the journal.
- the system is then set down again; the bearing housings are then closed again.
- the invention is therefore based on the objective of further developing a device of the type mentioned above in such a way that it becomes possible to significantly reduce the effort involved in replacing or maintaining worn bearings.
- it should be possible to carry out bearing replacement or maintenance without complex and expensive equipment.
- the time required for bearing replacement should be significantly reduced.
- an objective of the present invention is to simplify the replacement of a bearing in a converter. This should also provide an alternative solution for replacing or maintaining a bearing, compared to the previously known methods described above.
- maintenance work or inspections should be able to be carried out more effectively, quickly, and therefore more cost-efficiently.
- the solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that a lifting device is arranged directly or indirectly on each bearing stand, which is designed to raise the support pin in a vertical direction from the bearing stand by a stroke amount for changing the bearing, and that a drive is provided for driving at least one of the support pins, which is connected to the support pin, wherein preferably a further lifting device is arranged, which is designed to raise the drive in a vertical direction by a stroke amount.
- the lifting device can be housed directly in the bearing stand, making it independent of the bearing housing.
- the lifting device preferably has a lifting shell (lifting element) which, on its side facing the support pin, has a shape congruent to the shape of the support pin. This is usually a partially cylindrical shape that corresponds to the shape of the support pin.
- the lifting device preferably has at least one hydraulic piston-cylinder element for generating a lifting movement.
- the lifting device is preferably designed to lift the support pin together with the bearing and bearing bracket relative to the bearing stand.
- the bearing support is preferably a bearing housing.
- the lifting device can be detachably arranged on the bearing stand, although a fixed arrangement can also be provided.
- a further development provides for the arrangement of means that can be positioned on the drive unit to prevent or limit tilting of the drive unit around the horizontal axis.
- These means can comprise at least one plate attached to the bearing stand or a foundation, which allows at least one bolt arranged on the drive unit to move vertically and prevents or at least limits movement in the horizontal direction.
- the plate unit can preferably have at least one elongated hole in which the bolt can move vertically.
- the present invention is preferably used in converter steel plants. It is based, in principle, on a bearing housing with a system lifting device.
- a lifting and lowering console (lifting device), preferably shaped to match the bearing journal, is positioned directly next to the bearing.
- a lifting and lowering console preferably shaped to match the bearing journal.
- sleeves and other components in the area of the lifting console, as well as the bearing covers, are removed.
- the consoles are then raised on both the fixed and floating bearing sides.
- the drive can also be assisted by a hydraulic lifting tool. In this case, the dampers of the torque arm must be detached from the gearbox housing.
- the bearings can be replaced.
- the lowering process is carried out in reverse order.
- a guide for the gearbox can be provided in the area where the dampers of the torque support are mounted. Plates with vertically oriented elongated holes can be permanently attached to the side of the gearbox (drive). The mounting bolts of the dampers can be removed through these holes before the lifting operation. A longer bolt can be inserted in their place, extending beyond the gearbox housing into the elongated holes of the plates. Here, the plates rest against the sides, thus preventing the system from tilting. Simultaneously, the drive brakes should be engaged.
- the bearing housing can be designed as a welded component. Of course, it can also be designed as a cast part.
- the aforementioned stationary storage stand could also directly serve as a foundation for the system.
- the proposed device is advantageously used in the maintenance, servicing and inspection of the plant.
- a device 1 comprising a metallurgical vessel 2 in the form of a converter.
- the converter 2 is pivotably arranged about a horizontal axis a.
- the converter 2 has a support pin 3 and a support ring 17 in each of two opposing side regions.
- Each support pin 3 is mounted in a rolling bearing 4.
- the rolling bearing 4 in turn, is housed in a bearing holder 5 (bearing housing), the bearing holder 5 resting on a bearing stand 6.
- the bearing stand 6 is arranged on a foundation 13.
- the bearing housing or an independent system lifting device can also be mounted directly on a foundation.
- the invention provides that a lifting device 7 is arranged on each bearing stand 6.
- the lifting device 7 is designed to move the support pin 3 vertically V away from the bearing stand 6 by a stroke h (see [reference]). Figure 3 to raise.
- the lifting device 7 comprises a lifting shell 8, which can be raised relative to a base part by means of two piston-cylinder elements 9.
- the lifting shell 8 has a shape F that is adapted to that of the support pin 3. This is a sectionally cylindrical shape that corresponds to the radius of the support pin 3.
- the lifting device 7 can raise the support pin 3, and thus the entire vessel 2, vertically by a stroke h such that the bearing 4, including the bearing housing 5, lifts off the bearing stand 6 and is accessible for bearing replacement.
- a drive 10 (gearbox) is provided for pivoting the vessel 2, which is also raised by the aforementioned stroke h for the purpose of changing the bearings.
- a further lifting device 11 is arranged in the base area of the drive 10, which raises the drive.
- the drive 10 is prevented from moving and its movement is dampened in a manner known per se by dampers 18 in its base area.
- the dampers 18 are pivotally attached to the drive 10 and/or to adjacent components in the base area.
- means 12 which comprise plates 14 that are permanently attached to the bearing stand 6 or the foundation 13 in the base area of the drive 10.
- the plates 14 have elongated holes 16 that extend in the vertical direction V.
- Extended bolts 15 are inserted in their place. These bolts are designed for guidance within the plates 14 and have vertical movement V within the elongated holes 16. These bolts 15 guide the lower portion of the drive 10 as it is lifted by the lifting device 11.
- the extended bolts 15 are in Figure 4a evident; they extend through the area of the elongated holes 16 in the sheets 14.
- the described guidance of the lower part of the drive 10 can of course also be provided if a separate lifting device 11 is dispensed with and the vessel 2 is lifted exclusively with the two lifting devices 7.
- Lifting the vessel 2, at least with the two lifting devices 7, and in this case also with the assistance of the lifting device 11, is thus easily accomplished, requiring only minimal technical effort. Nevertheless, the bearing 4 and the bearing housing 5 are sufficiently exposed to allow for easy bearing replacement or maintenance.
