Description

[0001] APPARATUS FOR GUIDING MATERIAL [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a material guide apparatus, and more particularly, to a material guide apparatus for preventing a leading end of a warped material from being inserted between transfer rolls.

Generally, the rolled plates in the rolling mill are transported by the transport rolls and subjected to a calibration process. Through the calibration process, the thick plate has a constant flatness.

The apron is fixed between the transfer rolls and the hot calibrator. The apron is in the form of a plate, and the thick plate transferred by the transport rolls is transported to the hot calibrator through the apron.

On the other hand, the thick plate to be hot-calibrated is guided to the hot calibrator by the conveying rolls in a heated state. At this time, since the tip of the thick plate is heated, it may be bent downward. Further, a gap is formed between the apron and the transfer roll. As a result, the leading end portion of the thick plate bent downward by heating can be inserted between the apron and the feed roll. On the other hand, while the apron is located between the transfer rolls to induce the thick plate and between the transfer roll and the hot calibrator, the problem that the leading edge of the downwardly warped plate is inserted between the apron and the transfer roll or between the apron and the hot- . At this time, the rolled process is interrupted due to the bent lower plate and the inserted thick plate must be cut. That is, the steel plate is not smoothly guided to the hot calibrator, and the productivity and quality of the steel plate according to the rolling process are deteriorating.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a material guide apparatus 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the material guide apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 in an exploded state, FIG. 4 is a view showing the operation of the work guide apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the work S guided by the work guide apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

1 to 4, a material guide apparatus 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an apron unit 101 and a guide unit 102 and is disposed between transfer rolls 10 Is conveyed by the conveying rolls 10 toward the rolling roll 20 and is conveyed between the conveying rolls 10 and between the conveying roll 10 and the rolling roll 20, . In the present embodiment, two material guide apparatuses 100 are shown to be installed on the front side and the rear side of the rolling rolls 20 between the transport rolls 10, but one or three And may be located between the transport rolls 10 for transporting the stock S to equipment other than the rolling roll 20. In this embodiment, the work S is formed in the form of a plate having a predetermined thickness such as a slab, a steel plate, a thick plate, or the like.

The apron portion 101 is located between the transport rolls 10 and has a size corresponding to the distance between the transport rolls 10. [ At this time, the apron portion 101 closes between the transfer rolls 10. The apron portion 101 includes a base portion 111, an idle roller portion 113, a roller guide portion 115, and a vertical movement portion 117.

The base portion 111 is formed in a plate shape and is positioned between the transport rolls 10. At this time, a guide portion 102, which will be described later, is connected to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the base portion 111, respectively. The distal end portion of the base portion 111 is an end portion of the base portion 111 corresponding to a portion where the material S exits and the rear end portion of the base portion 111 is an end portion located on the opposite side of the distal end portion.

The idle roller portion 113 is composed of one or more rollers and is positioned on the base portion 111 in parallel with the feed roll 10. At this time, the idle roller portion 113 is located on the base portion 111 and has an outer diameter smaller than that of the feed roll 10 so as to be located at the same height as the feed roll 10.

The roller guide portions 115 are respectively coupled to both ends of the idle roller portion 113. At this time, the idle roller portion 113 is rotatable about an axis along the longitudinal direction of the idle roller portion 113. The upper surface of the roller guide portion 115 is positioned below the upper end of the idler roller portion 113. [ As a result, when the material S is transferred from one conveying roll 10 to another conveying roll 10, the material S is conveyed while being in contact with the idler roller portion 113, The portion 113 is rotated so that the material S is conveyed. Therefore, the material S can be smoothly transferred on the apron portion 101, and damage due to friction with the apron portion 101 can be prevented. In addition, inclined surfaces are formed on both longitudinal sides of the roller guide portion 115.

The vertical moving part 117 is coupled to the lower part of the base part 111 to move the base part 111 in the vertical direction. The vertical moving parts 117 may be formed as a pair and may be spaced apart from each other in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the transport roll 10. For this reason, any one of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the apron portion 101 can be positioned above the other. That is, the apron portion 101 has a predetermined slope.

For example, as shown in Fig. 4 (a), the apron portion and the rear end portion of the apron portion 101 generally have the same height. In Fig. 4, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the apron portion 101 indicate the right side and the left side.

When the material S is guided from the left side to the right side in Fig. 4A and the front end portion of the work S is bent downward, the vertical moving portion 117 moves vertically, as shown in Fig. 4 (b) Thereby raising the tip of the portion 101. As a result, the material S can be smoothly guided in a state in which the leading end portion is not interfered with the apron portion 101 or the feed roll 10. On the other hand, when the work S is guided in the opposite direction, the vertical moving portion 117 raises the rear end portion of the apron portion 101 as shown in Fig. 4 (c) . That is, the vertical moving unit 117 smoothly guides the material S whose leading end portion is bent downward regardless of the conveying direction of the material S.

The operation of the vertical movement unit 117 is performed by sensing the state of the workpiece S guided to the workpiece guide device 100 by the sensor 30.

Even if the inclination of the apron portion 101 is changed as described above, since the inclined surface is formed on the longitudinal end surface of the roller guide portion 115, the roller guide portion 115 is conveyed without contact with the conveyance roll 10 The gap between the roll 10 and the apron portion 101 can be easily closed.

The guide portions 102 extend from the apron portion 101 and particularly the front end portion and the rear end portion of the base portion 111 and are coupled to the transport roll 10 adjacent to the apron portion 111. [ That is, the guide portions 102 close the gap between the apron portion 101 and the conveying roll 10 to prevent the insertion of the material S. At this time, the guide portion 102 may extend from one of the apron portion 101, particularly, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the base portion 111.

The shape of the guide portions 102 has a shape corresponding to the curvature of the outer circumferential surface of the conveying roll 10. When the guide portions 102 are engaged with the conveying roll 10, the lower surface of the guide portion 102 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the conveying roll 10.

On the other hand, guide grooves 11 are formed along the circumferential direction of the feed roll 10 on the outer peripheral surface of the feed roll 10. The guide groove 11 has a shape into which the guide portion 102 can be inserted. At this time, the guide portion 102 is inserted into the guide groove 11, and is positioned on the conveying roll 10, and is engaged with the conveying roll 10. Further, the upper surface of the guide portion 102 may be positioned on the same plane as the outer peripheral surface of the feed roll 10. Therefore, the guide portion 102 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the feed roll 10 and does not deteriorate the feed of the work S due to the contact with the work S. The feed roll 10 having the guide grooves 11 may be a separately added roll having a shape corresponding to the feed roll 10.

The material guide apparatus 100 of the present embodiment as described above prevents the material S from being interrupted by insertion of the curved leading end portion of the material S between the feed rolls 10, So that the transfer of the material S warped to the lower side is not restricted. Therefore, the workpiece guide apparatus 100 of the present embodiment can prevent the processing work of the workpiece S and the interruption of the conveyance accordingly, thereby preventing a decrease in the productivity of subsequent steps and a deterioration in the quality of the workpiece.

While the present invention has been described in connection with certain exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
