Rolling installation
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a rolling installation comprising a roll stand ( 110 ) for rolling a metal strip and a suction device ( 120 ) for sucking polluted air from the immediate environment of the metal strip to be rolled. The aim of the invention is to structurally simplify the suction device. To this end, the inlet guiding region ( 112 ) is defined on one side by an inlet guiding plate ( 113 ) and the inlet suction channel ( 120 ) is connected to the inlet guiding region ( 112 ) via an opening ( 113 -O) in the inlet guiding plate ( 113 ). The same arrangement can be applied to the discharge suction channel ( 124 ) and the discharge guiding region ( 114 ).
1. A rolling mill ( 100 ), which comprises at least one rolling stand ( 110 ) for rolling a metal strip, with an inlet guide region ( 112 ) for guiding the metal strip into a roll gap ( 118 ) of the rolling stand ( 110 ) and an outlet guide region ( 114 ) for guiding the metal strip out of the rolling stand; and which comprises an exhaust system ( 120 ) for exhausting contaminated air from the immediate vicinity of the metal strip with an inlet suction duct ( 122 ), which is connected with the inlet guide region ( 112 ) close to the roll gap by an opening ( 113 -O) in an inlet guide plate ( 113 ) that bounds the inlet guide region ( 112 ) and with an outlet suction duct ( 124 ), which is connected with the outlet guide region ( 114 ) close to the roll gap by an opening ( 115 -O) in an outlet guide plate ( 115 ) that bounds the outlet guide region ( 114 ), wherein the inlet suction duct ( 122 ) and the outlet suction duct ( 124 ) are integrated in the rolling stand ( 110 ) and supported therein with a vertically straight upward orientation in proximity to the rolls ( 116 ) in such a way that they extend vertically directly into the inlet guide region ( 112 ) and the outlet guide region ( 114 ).
2. A rolling mill ( 100 ) in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the opening ( 113 -O) in the inlet guide plate ( 113 ) and/or the opening ( 115 -O) in the outlet guide plate ( 115 ) is designed in the form of slots ( 113 -S), which are distributed over the width of the given guide plate ( 113 , 115 ), preferably parallel to the rolling direction (W).
3. A rolling mill ( 100 ) in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the rolling mill also has a drive system ( 130 ), preferably in the form of hydraulic cylinders ( 131 ), for moving the inlet suction duct ( 122 ) and/or the outlet suction duct ( 124 ) together with the respective guide plate ( 113 , 115 ), and that the inlet guide plate ( 113 ) and/or the outlet guide plate ( 115 ) are in contact with roll strippers ( 119 ) and are each moved together with the roll strippers ( 119 ) according to the current desired size of the roll gap ( 118 ).
4. A rolling mill ( 100 ), which comprises at least one rolling stand ( 110 ) for rolling a metal strip, with an inlet guide region ( 112 ) for guiding the metal strip into a roll gap ( 118 ) of the rolling stand ( 110 ) and an outlet guide region ( 114 ) for guiding the metal strip out of the rolling stand; and which comprises an exhaust system ( 120 ) for exhausting contaminated air from the immediate vicinity of the metal strip with an inlet suction duct ( 122 ), which is connected with the inlet guide region ( 112 ) close to the roll gap by an opening ( 113 -O) in an inlet guide plate ( 113 ) that bounds the inlet guide region ( 112 ) and/or with an outlet suction duct ( 124 ), which is connected with the outlet guide region ( 114 ) close to the roll gap by an opening ( 115 -O) in an outlet guide plate ( 115 ) that bounds the outlet guide region ( 114 ), wherein the inlet suction duct ( 122 ) and/or the outlet suction duct ( 124 ) is integrated in the rolling stand ( 110 ) and supported therein with a vertically straight orientation in proximity to the rolls ( 116 ) in such a way that it extends into the inlet guide region ( 112 ) and/or the outlet guide region ( 114 ), wherein the inlet suction duct ( 122 ) has a stationary main section ( 122 -I) and a movable section ( 122 -II) on the inlet side, where the movable section ( 122 -II) on the inlet side is preferably joined with the inlet guide plate ( 113 ) and can be telescopically moved together with the inlet guide plate ( 113 ) relative to the stationary main section ( 122 -I) of the inlet suction duct ( 122 ) according to a currently desired size of the roll gap ( 118 ), and/or the outlet suction duct ( 124 ) has a stationary main section ( 124 -I) and a movable section ( 124 -II) on the outlet side, where the movable section ( 124 -II) on the outlet side is preferably joined with the outlet guide plate ( 115 ) and can be telescopically moved together with the outlet guide plate ( 115 ) relative to the stationary main section ( 124 -I) of the outlet suction duct ( 124 ) according to the currently desired size of the roll gap ( 118 ).
