DEVICE FOR COOLING RECTANGULAR ROLLED STOCK Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: metal rolling equipment. SUBSTANCE: device has a number of sections mounted between rolls of power-driven roller conveyer, each of them has body with support and fixed base on which support is positioned. Ends of body are provided with guiding rollers to receive rolled stock moving on rib on surface of power-driven roller conveyer, they are provided with mechanism with working surface corresponding to shape of rolled stock and are fixed in pairs one against another on opposite sides of inlet and outlet ports for rolled stock. Face covers of body are provided with ring-shaped guides for transfer of rotation effort of rolled stock to body. With the aid of the guides the body rests upon spring-loaded rollers of support mounted on transverse rollers bearing against base and mounted in its grooves. Support is connected to base by spring-type joint. Body with support are made for synchronic rotation with rolled stock and subsequent reverse motion as rolled stock leaves the body. Inside body of each section are installed rows of injectors and guiding plates so that central axes of injectors align with diagonal axes of rolled stock cross section and guiding plates are positioned along each row of injectors on both their sides and their convex sides face nozzles of injectors. Frame with collectors and flexible hoses are mounted on collectors to supply air and water to injectors. EFFECT: enhanced cooling capabilities. 4 cl, 4 dwg
