DRIVE SYSTEM OF ROLLING MILL Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: drive systems of rolling mills, namely of pilger cold rolling mill.

SUBSTANCE: drive system includes at least one rolling stand mounted with possibility of reciprocation motion; at least one crank and connecting rod mechanism having crank arm with balancing weight at least for partially compensating inertia forces of rolling stand; drive unit and connecting rod jointly connecting rolling stand and crank arm; at least one counter-balance mounted with possibility of eccentric rotation in order to compensate inertia forces and (or) moments of inertia. In order to provide effective compensation of inertia forces in simplified drive system, at least one counter-balance is mounted with possibility of driving it to rotation by means of autonomous drive unit isolated from drive unit of crank and connecting rod mechanism. Said autonomous drive unit of counter-balance acts in rotation direction opposite to rotation direction of crank arm. Mass values of mass of rolling stand, balancing weight, counter-balance are selected in such a way that to compensate as possible first-order components of inertia forces of rolling stand at operation of drive system. System is provided with unit for controlling or regulating autonomous drive unit depending upon angle ϕ₆ and (or) revolution number of crank arm. Rotation center of counter-balance is selected in such a way that including inertia forces of rolling stand and (or) balancing weight moments of inertia of all masses of drive system are at least significantly compensated.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency, simplified design of rolling mill.
