Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plant for the continuous treatment of Steel strips, in particular for pickling, with a treatment container.
  • the aim of the invention is a plant for the treatment of steel strips create at which the fluid level without problems, especially at the seal can be adjusted.
  • the invention is therefore characterized in that at the ends of the Treatment tank squeeze rollers are provided in one separate containers are arranged from the treatment tank. Thereby the main stream of the acid circuit can take place in the treatment tank and a seal is only against small amounts of liquid required.
  • An advantageous development of the invention is characterized in that that the treatment tank and the container of the squeeze rollers with are connected to a connecting shaft. So that can be defined Expansion compensation can be achieved. Furthermore, the treatment container expand freely as there are no fixed connections to other components consist. No complicated seals are required.
  • a favorable further development of the invention is characterized in that that at least one end of the treatment tank has an outlet is provided. This enables the bulk of the Treatment medium, such as pickling acid, in the treatment tank circulates and only a small amount to the squeeze rollers reached.
  • the Treatment medium such as pickling acid
  • a favorable embodiment of the invention is characterized in that that the treatment container made of plastic, preferably polypropylene (PP) exists.
  • the design made of plastic results in on the one hand a lower weight, on the other hand a better durability against the corrosion attack of the treatment liquid, e.g. the Pickling liquid.
  • a favorable further development of the invention is characterized in that that the treatment container is arranged in a plastic cup and is preferably firmly connected to it in the middle. This can the treatment tank can expand freely on both sides, without problems of any arching of the floor.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that that the connecting shaft reaches up to the squeeze rollers, the connecting shaft being sealed on the squeeze rollers can.
  • a higher liquid level in the Treatment tanks are used, which increases the treatment length of the belt on the distance between the squeeze roller sets elevated. This means that even higher versions can be used Belt speeds and thus higher production achieved become.
  • a favorable further development of the invention is characterized in that that at least one end of the treatment tank has an overflow is provided. This allows the maximum bath level in the treatment tank be fixed cheaply.
  • FIG. 2 a represents another variant of the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a treatment container 1, the bottom 2 by means of Supports 3 is supported on the continuous cup 4 made of plastic.
  • the steel strip 5 runs in the direction A within the treatment liquid 6 with a liquid level 7.
  • an outlet shaft 8 is provided, into which the liquid runs off and is discharged via a laterally attached outlet pipe 9.
  • an advantageously removable Protective strip 10 is provided.
  • the protective strip 10 is designed that the band about above the wall 11 of the outlet shaft 8th emerges from the liquid.
  • the opposite wall 12 can move in cup 4 by stretching in the direction of arrow D.
  • a container 13 is provided separately from the treatment container 1, in where the squeeze rollers 14, 14 'are located. This container can also be closed at the top.
  • a similar container 13 including Squeeze rollers 14, 14 ' is at the other end of the treatment tank 1 provided. The connection of container 1 and container 13 is produced by a connecting or intermediate shaft 15.
  • the connecting shaft 15 is fixed at its end 16 to the treatment container 1 connected.
  • the connection can be a plug or Be flange connection. A free movement of the connecting shaft 15 in the direction of the squeeze rollers 14, 14 'is possible, so that a Length compensation can be done in a simple manner.
  • Fig. 2 shows a variant of the invention, which is also referred to as a storage tank can be. It is preferred for high belt speeds from 150 m / min, suitable.
  • the same components have the same reference numbers on as in Fig. 1.
  • a telescopic shaft 17 for connecting the treatment container 1 with the container 13 instead of the connecting shaft 15 of Fig. 1 is here a telescopic shaft 17 for connecting the treatment container 1 with the container 13 provided, this at its end 18 on the Wall 12 of the container 1 is flanged.
  • the telescopic shaft 17 is at its other end in a seal 19 slots made 20 led.
  • the expansion of the container 1 can thus be absorbed in a simple manner become.
  • the slot 20 acts with the end of the telescopic shaft 17 as a labyrinth seal.
  • the telescopic shaft 17 can e.g.
