Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adjustment method for two over a metal band with a band level and one Shielding elements arranged in the middle of the band for a liquid Cooling medium, by adjusting an adjusting element an adjustment of the shielding elements is brought about opposite adjustment component perpendicular to has a band center plane that is perpendicular to the band plane runs and intersects the belt plane in the belt center axis, as well as a corresponding adjusting device.
  • Such an adjustment method and the corresponding one Adjustment devices are for example from DE 32 30 866 C2 known.
  • the shielding elements are adjusted about a motor that has shafts, gears and threaded rods acts on the shielding elements.
  • the adjusting device of the prior art is cumbersome, complicated, prone to failure and expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is a Adjustment method and a corresponding adjustment device to create, by means of which the adjustment the shielding elements can be carried out more easily and safely is, the device is cheaper to manufacture.
  • the task is solved for the adjustment process by that the adjusting element is adjusted in the belt center plane becomes.
  • the adjustment element is hereby correspondingly arranged in the central band plane.
  • the adjustment of the shielding elements also an adjustment component parallel to the belt center plane having. This is particularly the case if the Shielding elements can be pivoted with respect to pivot points.
  • the connecting rods to the support arms are articulated at articulation points and the articulation points arranged between the pivot points and the shielding elements there is a special one due to the leverage laws effective adjustment of the shielding elements.
  • the adjustment of the shielding elements is particularly precise and easy to do if the driver has a number of adjustment pairs is specified and the control element to determine the adjustment of the adjusting element interpolates between the pairs of adjustments.
  • two shielding elements 1 are over a metal band 2 arranged.
  • liquid cooling medium 3 usually water, from which below the shielding elements 1 arranged metal strip 2 can be shielded.
  • the metal strip 2 is usually made of steel. But it could also be made of another metal, e.g. B. copper or aluminum. It has a band level 4 and is transported parallel to a central belt axis 5 in operation.
  • Figure 1 has an adjustment device for the shielding elements 1 guide rails 6 on which the shielding elements 1 out.
  • the guide rails 6 run parallel to band level 4.
  • the shielding elements 1 are by means of an adjusting element 7 adjustable.
  • the adjusting element 7 is in a band center plane 8 arranged.
  • the band center plane 8 runs vertically to band level 4 and intersects band level 4 in the center line of the band 5.
  • the adjusting element 7 is with the shielding elements 1 connected via connecting rods 9.
  • An adjustment of the adjusting element 7 causes due to the rigid connection with the shielding elements 1 also an adjustment the shielding elements 1. Due to the guidance in the Guide rails 6 are used to adjust the shielding elements 1 only perpendicular to the belt center plane 8. It takes place no adjustment parallel to the belt center plane 8. Due to the symmetrical arrangement of the shielding elements 1 with respect to However, the shielding elements 1 have a band center plane 8 opposite adjustment component perpendicular to Belt middle level 8. In other words, you will be regarding the belt center plane 8 towards each other by equal amounts or moved away from each other.
  • the guide rails 6 and the adjusting element 7 are in one Frame 10 arranged.
  • the frame 10 is at a base 11 pivotally mounted.
  • a swivel unit 12 thus the entire adjusting device can be pivoted away from the metal strip 2. This is indicated by an arrow A in FIG.
  • the adjusting element 7 and the swivel unit 12 are in accordance with Figure 1 designed as a hydraulic cylinder units. It could but also other drives, e.g. B. electric motors or hydraulic motors, be used.
  • Figure 2 shows a modified embodiment of Figure 1.
  • the same components have the same reference numerals Mistake.
  • the shielding elements 1 but connected via support arms 13 to pivot points 14.
  • the Connecting rods 9 are with the support arms 13 at pivot points 15 articulated.
  • the hinge points 15 are between the pivot points 14 and the shielding elements 1 are arranged.
  • the shielding elements 1 are Adjustment of the adjusting element 7 with respect to the pivot points 14 pivoted. Adjusting the shielding elements 1 thus has both an adjustment component perpendicular to Belt center plane 8 and an adjustment component in parallel to the belt center plane 8.
  • Adjustments xn of the shielding elements 1 and corresponding ones Adjustments yn of the adjustment element 7 become adjustment pairs (xn / yn) summarized.
  • FIG. 4 stored in a memory unit of a control element 17 and the control element 17. If now the control element 17 an adjustment x0 of the shielding elements 1 is specified, the control element 17 is able a corresponding adjustment y0 of the adjustment element 7 to investigate.
  • the control element 17 has an interpolator 18 on the basis of the adjustment pairs (xn / yn) the corresponding adjustment y0 of the by interpolation Adjustment element 7 determined. Depending on the desired accuracy linear or higher interpolation can be used become.
  • the adjustment pairs (xn / yn) are preferably in relation to the Adjustment xn of the shielding elements 1 linear. But this is not mandatory.
  • the adjustment x0 of the shielding elements 1 is for the metal band 2, which has a fixed bandwidth, usually fixed. But it is with the adjustment method according to the invention and the corresponding adjusting device easier than possible in the prior art, too to change the adjustment x0 during operation. In particular can e.g. B. at the beginning and end of the tape a slightly larger one Area to be covered than in the middle of the band.
  • the adjustment method according to the invention and the corresponding ones Adjustment device are particularly so-called edge masking in a cooling section for rolling stock or also between two rolling stands of a multi-stand rolling mill applicable.
