Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Richtmaschine mit Wechselkassette nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a leveler with removable cassette according to the preamble of claim 1

Eine solche Richtmaschine umfasst demnach eine Anzahl von Richtwalzen, einen Antrieb für die Richtwalzen und ein zwischen dem Antrieb und den Richtwalzen angeordnetes Hauptgetriebe. Die Richtwalzen sind in einer Wechselkassette angeordnet und über Gelenkwellen sowie lösbare Kupplungen mit dem Hauptgetriebe verbunden.Such a straightening machine accordingly comprises a number of leveling rolls, a drive for the straightening rollers and a between the drive and the Straightening rolls arranged main gear. The straightening rollers are in a removable cassette arranged and over cardan shafts and releasable couplings with connected to the main transmission.

Beim Richten von metallischen Bändern gibt es Abhängigkeiten zwischen der Dicke und der Festigkeit der Bänder einerseits und der benötigten Anzahl sowie dem Durchmesser der Richtwalzen andererseits. So benötigt man normalerweise einen Walzendurchmesser von 150 mm, um 15 mm dickes Bandmaterial zu richten, während man normalerweise einen Walzendurchmesser von ca. 50 mm wählt, um 0,8 mm dicke Bänder zu richten. Hierbei gibt es gewisse Bereiche von Banddicken, die mit einer gegebenen Anzahl und einem gegebenen Durchmesser von Richtwalzen gerichtet werden kann.When straightening metallic bands there are dependencies between the Thickness and strength of the bands on the one hand and the required number and the diameter of the straightening rollers on the other. That's usually what you need a roll diameter of 150 mm, around 15 mm thick strip material while normally having a roll diameter of about 50 mm chooses to straighten 0.8 mm thick strips. There are certain areas here of tape thicknesses given with a given number and a given Diameter of straightening rollers can be directed.

Je hochfester das Bandmaterial ist, desto kleiner werden allerdings diese Bereiche. Bei einer Materialfestigkeit von 400 N/mm2 und einem Durchmesser der Richtwalzen von 60 mm liegt beispielsweise der Bereich der richtbaren Banddicke zwischen etwa 1,5 mm und 5 mm. The higher the strength of the strip material, however, the smaller these areas become. With a material strength of 400 N / mm 2 and a diameter of the straightening rollers of 60 mm, for example, the range of the straightening strip thickness is between about 1.5 mm and 5 mm.

Erwünscht ist oft die Richtbarkeit von einem Spektrum an Banddicken zwischen 0,8 mm und 15 mm, was dann allerdings nicht mehr mit einem einzigen festgelegten Durchmesser der Richtwalzen bearbeitet werden kann.It is often desirable to be able to straighten a range of tape thicknesses 0.8 mm and 15 mm, but then no longer with a single set Diameter of straightening rollers can be edited.

Daher ist es bekannt geworden, zum Richten von metallischen Bändern mit stark unterschiedlichen Banddicken Richtmaschinen mit Wechselkassetten einzusetzen, wobei die Richtwalzen in einer Wechselkassette angeordnet sind und über Gelenkwellen sowie lösbare Kupplungen mit dem Hauptgetriebe verbunden werden. Durch Abkoppeln der Gelenkwellen vom Hauptgetriebe oder von den Richtwalzen kann die Wechselkassette ganz einfach aus der Richtmaschine herausgenommen und eine andere Wechselkassette mit Richtwalzen anderen Durchmessers eingeschoben werden, um die Verarbeitung von Metallbändern anderer Banddicken zu ermöglichen.Therefore, it has become known for straightening metallic bands to use straightening machines with exchangeable cassettes wherein the straightening rollers are arranged in a removable cassette and connected via cardan shafts and releasable couplings with the main transmission become. By decoupling the drive shafts from the main gearbox or from The straightening rollers can easily change the cassette from the straightening machine taken out and another cassette with straightening rollers other Diameter can be inserted to the processing of metal bands to allow other tape thicknesses.

Die Anzahl der Kupplungen bzw. Abgänge des Hauptgetriebes bemisst sich naturgemäß nach der Anzahl der Richtwalzen mit dem größten in der vorliegenden Richtmaschine noch möglichen Durchmesser. Insofern ist es nicht möglich, eine höhere Anzahl von Richtwalzen mit geringerem Durchmesser zu betreiben, obwohl der Platz dafür da wäre. Stattdessen werden dann insbesondere die äußeren Gelenkwellen, die die äußeren (kleinen) Richtwalzen mit den äußeren Abgängen des Hauptgetriebes verbinden, stark abgewinkelt, da der Abstand der einzelnen Richtwalzen untereinander nur sehr gering sein darf und daher die Abmessungen einer Wechselkassette mit Richtwalzen kleinen Durchmessers gegenüber den Abmessungen des Hauptgetriebes unvorteilhaft viel kleiner ist.The number of couplings or outlets of the main gear is measured naturally according to the number of straightening rollers with the largest in the present Straightening machine still possible diameter. In that sense it is not possible to increase the number of straightening rollers with a smaller diameter operate, although the place would be there for. Instead, then in particular the outer propeller shafts, which are the outer (small) straightening rollers connect to the external outlets of the main gearbox, strongly angled, because the distance between the individual straightening rollers with each other only be very small may and therefore the dimensions of a removable cassette with straightening rollers small diameter compared to the dimensions of the main gear unfavorable is much smaller.

Aus diesem Grunde ist es nicht möglich, allzu sehr unterschiedliche Richtwalzendurchmesser innerhalb einer Richtmaschine zu realisieren. Stattdessen werden oft mehrere Richtmaschinen hintereinander vorgehalten, um ein möglichst großes Spektrum an Banddicken abdecken zu können.For this reason, it is not possible, too much different roll diameter to realize within a straightening machine. Instead Often several leveling machines are held one behind the other, as much as possible to be able to cover a large spectrum of strip thicknesses.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Richtmaschine der eingangs genannten Art hinsichtlich ihrer Einsetzbarkeit für ein möglichst großes Spektrum an Banddicken bzw. Richtwalzendurchmessern zu verbessern. The present invention is therefore based on the object, a straightening machine of the type mentioned in terms of their usability for a the widest possible spectrum of strip thicknesses or leveling diameters improve.

Gelöst ist diese Aufgabe durch eine Richtmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This problem is solved by a straightening machine with the features of Patent claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Richtmaschine ergeben sich aus den Patentansprüchen 2 bis 5. Eine Wechselkassette für eine erfindungsgemäße Richtmaschine ist im Anspruch 6 definiert.Advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention Straightening machine result from the claims 2 to 5. A removable cassette for a straightening machine according to the invention is defined in claim 6.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich also dadurch aus, dass zwischen dem Hauptgetriebe und den Richtwalzen ein zusätzliches Verteilergetriebe mit je einem Abgang für jede Richtwalze angeordnet ist. Das Verteilergetriebe wird also zwischen das Hauptgetriebe und die Richtwalzen geschaltet und ermöglicht zum einen, eine höhere Anzahl von Richtwalzen kleineren Durchmessers in der Richtmaschine anzuordnen, als Abgänge am Hauptgetriebe vorhanden sind. Zum anderen ist das Verteilergetriebe zweckmäßigerweise bei den Abgängen den Dimensionen der verwendeten Richtwalzen angepasst, während die Verbindung zwischen dem Hauptgetriebe und dem Verteilergetriebe gegebenenfalls mit einer einzigen Welle oder einem einzigen Kupplungsstück erfolgen kann, so dass auch bei sehr kleinen Richtwalzendurchmessern und einem Hauptgetriebe, das an große Richtwalzendurchmesser angepasst ist, keine nachteiligen Abwinkelungen der Gelenkwellen erfolgen müssen.The invention is thus characterized by the fact that between the main transmission and the straightening rollers an additional transfer case with one outlet is arranged for each straightening roller. The transfer case is so between the main gear and the straightening rollers switched and allows for one, a higher number of straightening rollers of smaller diameter in the To arrange straightening machine, as outlets on the main gearbox are available. On the other hand, the transfer case is expediently at the outlets adapted to the dimensions of straightening rollers used while the connection between the main gearbox and the transfer case, if necessary take place with a single shaft or a single coupling piece can, so that even with very small roll diameters and a Main gear, which is adapted to large roll diameter, no adverse bending of the propeller shafts must be done.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verteilergetriebe vergrößert also den Bereich von Richtwalzendurchmessern und der damit korrespondierenden Richtwalzenanzahl, so dass letztendlich der Bereich von Blechdicken, die mit einer einzigen Richtmaschine gerichtet werden können, vorteilhaft vergrößert wird. Hierbei ist es selbstverständlich möglich, mehrere verschiedene Verteilergetriebe oder auch kaskadenartig zwei oder mehr Verteilergetriebe hintereinander einzusetzen, um den Bereich der bearbeitbaren Banddicken noch weiter zu erhöhen.The transfer case according to the invention thus increases the range of Straight roll diameters and the corresponding straightening roll number, so that ultimately the range of sheet thicknesses that with a single Straightening machine can be directed, advantageously increased. Here is it is of course possible to have several different transfer cases or also to use two or more transfer cases in cascade, to further increase the range of workable strip thicknesses.

Das Verteilergetriebe ist zweckmäßigerweise der Wechselkassette mit den Richtwalzen zugeordnet und besonders bevorzugt in diese Wechselkassette integriert, so dass diejenigen Wechselkassetten mit Richtwalzen, die einen kleinen Durchmesser besitzen, gleich mit dem passenden Verteilergetriebe in die Richtmaschine eingesetzt werden können. The transfer case is expediently the removable cassette with the Straightening rollers assigned and more preferably in this removable cassette integrated, so that exchangeable cassettes with straightening rollers, the one have small diameter, equal to the appropriate transfer case in the straightening machine can be used.

Um das Verteilergetriebe nicht allzu stabil dimensionieren zu müssen und für eine gleichmäßigere Verteilung des Kraftflusses ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Verteilergetriebe nicht nur über eine Kupplung mit dem Hauptgetriebe verbunden wird, sondern über zwei, drei oder noch mehr Kupplungen.In order not to have to dimension the transfer case too stable and for a more even distribution of power flow, it is advantageous if the Transfer case not only connected via a clutch to the main gearbox but over two, three or more clutches.

Auf der Abtriebsseite ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Richtwalzen über Gelenkwellen mit den Abgängen des Verteilergetriebes verbunden sind, und an der Antriebesseite wenn zwischen Verteilergetriebe und Hauptgetriebe keine Gelenkwelle mehr zum Einsatz kommt, sondern feste Kupplungsstücke.On the output side, it is advantageous if the straightening rollers on drive shafts connected to the outlets of the transfer case, and on the drive side if there is no PTO shaft between the transfer case and the main gearbox more is used, but fixed couplings.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Richtmaschine, wobei insgesamt 13 Richtwalzen 1, von denen in der Draufsicht nur die oberen sieben zu sehen sind, in der vorliegenden Darstellung angedeutet sind. Jede der Richtwalzen 1 ist über jeweils eine Gelenkwelle 2 und ein Kupplungsstück 3 mit je einem Abgang 4 eines Hauptgetriebes 5 verbunden. Angetrieben wird die Richtmaschine durch einen Antrieb 6. Die Richtwalzen 1 und die Gelenkwellen 2 sitzen auf einer Wechselkassette 7, die durch axiales Wegbewegen und hierdurch erfolgendes Lösen der Kupplungsstücke 3 aus der Richtmaschine entnommen und gegen eine andere Wechselkassette 7' mit Richtwalzen 1' kleineren Durchmessers ausgetauscht werden kann.Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a leveler, wherein a total 13 straightening rollers 1, of which in the plan view only the upper seven can be seen are indicated in the present illustration. Each of the straightening rollers 1 is each a PTO shaft 2 and a coupling piece 3, each with a departure 4 of a main transmission 5 connected. The straightening machine is driven by a drive 6. The straightening rollers 1 and the propeller shafts 2 sit on an exchangeable cartridge 7, which by moving axially and thereby take place Loosen the coupling pieces 3 removed from the leveler and against another removable cassette 7 'with straightening rollers 1' of smaller diameter can be exchanged.

Die in Figur 1 und Figur 2 dargestellte Wechselkassette 7 enthält Richtwalzen 1 mit einem Durchmesser von 150 mm. An diesen Richtwalzendurchmesser, der der größte in die vorliegende Richtmaschine einzubauende Durchmesser ist, ist das Hauptgetriebe 5 mit seinen Abgängen 4 angepasst. Demgemäß sind insgesamt 13 Abgänge 4 vorhanden und untereinander so beabstandet, dass die Gelenkwellen 2 mit vorteilhaft kleinen Winkeln abgewinkelt verlaufen.The interchangeable cassette 7 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 includes straightening rollers 1 with a diameter of 150 mm. At this leveling diameter, the largest diameter to be installed in the present leveler is, the main gear 5 is adjusted with its outlets 4. Accordingly, are a total of 13 outlets 4 present and spaced apart so that the propeller shafts 2 are angled at advantageously small angles.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist die selbe Richtmaschine mit einer anderen Wechselkassette 7' dargestellt. Der Antrieb 6 und das Hauptgetriebe 5 mit seinen 13 Abgängen 4 ist identisch geblieben; nur die Wechselkassette 7 ist durch eine Wechselkassette 7' mit Richtwalzen 1' kleineren Durchmessers ersetzt worden. Auf der Wechselkassette 7' sind insgesamt 21 Richtwalzen 1 ' angeordnet, welche über Gelenkwellen 2' an einem erfindungsgemäßen Verteilergetriebe 8 bzw. an dessen 21 Abgängen 9 angekoppelt sind.In Figures 3 and 4, the same straightening machine with another removable cassette 7 'shown. The drive 6 and the main transmission 5 with its 13th Departures 4 has remained identical; only the removable cassette 7 is through a Replacement cassette 7 'has been replaced with straightening rollers 1' smaller diameter. On the removable cassette 7 'a total of 21 straightening rollers 1' are arranged, which via cardan shafts 2 'on a transfer case 8 according to the invention or at whose 21 outlets 9 are coupled.

Das Verteilergetriebe 8 ist, wie Figur 4 besonders deutlich zeigt, in die Wechselkassette 7' integriert und wird mit dieser an die Abgänge 4 des Hauptgetriebes 5 angekuppelt. Hierfür sind, wie Figur 3 deutlich macht, drei Kupplungsstücke 3 vorgesehen, um eine gleichmäßigere Verteilung des Kraftflusses im Verteilergetriebe 8 zu erhalten und das Verteilergetriebe 8 dementsprechend nicht allzu massiv dimensionieren zu müssen.The transfer case 8 is, as Figure 4 shows particularly clearly in the removable cassette 7 'integrated and is with this to the outputs 4 of the main transmission 5 coupled. For this purpose, as Figure 3 makes clear, three coupling pieces 3 provided to a more even distribution of power flow in the transfer case 8 and the transfer case 8 accordingly not To have to dimension too massive.

Wie Figur 3 verdeutlicht, ist es mit der Erfindung möglich, die 13 Abgänge 4 des Hauptgetriebes 5 auf hier 21 Abgänge 9 zu erhöhen, um 21 Richtwalzen 1' kleineren Durchmessers betreiben zu können, welche darüber hinaus von Gelenkwellen 2' mit Drehmoment beaufschlagt werden, welche unter einem optimalen Winkel betrieben werden. Es leuchtet unmittelbar ein, dass es durch die Erfindung so gut wie keine Begrenzung mehr in der Anzahl und im Durchmesser der auf einer Wechselkassette 7 angeordneten Richtwalzen 1 mehr gibt. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit zu jeder Zeit, auch nachträglich, den Arbeitsbereich einer bereits bestehenden, herkömmlichen Richtmaschine mit Wechselkassette 7 durch Einsatz einer erfindungsgemäß mit Verteilergetriebe 8 versehenen Wechselkassette 7' zu dünneren Bändern hin zu erweitern. As Figure 3 illustrates, it is possible with the invention, the 13 outlets 4th of the main gear 5 to increase here 21 outlets 9 to 21 straightening rollers 1 ' to operate smaller diameter, which in addition of cardan shafts 2 'are applied with torque, which under an optimal Angle operated. It is immediately clear that it is through the Invention virtually no limitation in number and diameter the arranged on a removable cassette 7 straightening rollers 1 more. In addition, there is the possibility at any time, even subsequently, the Work area of an existing, conventional leveler with Interchangeable cassette 7 by using a transfer case according to the invention 8 provided exchange cassette 7 'to expand towards thinner bands.
