Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing wire, in which the wire is rolled in at least one finishing stand of a wire rolling mill, wherein the rolled wire passes behind the final finishing stand in the conveying direction a cooling and / or compensation path, wherein the wire by a at the end of Cooling and / or balancing path arranged first driver is pulled through the cooling and / or balancing section and wherein in the conveying direction behind the first driver a Windungsleger for the wire is arranged, with which it can be stored in turns. Furthermore, the invention relates to a wire rolling mill for carrying out the method.
  • the wire In wire rolling, in a final rolling process, the wire is rolled in a finishing block from a number of finishing stands and brought to the final desired wire diameter. The wire then passes through a cooling and equalizing section before being laid in turns by means of a layer.
  • a driver 5 is arranged, which pulls the wire 1 through the cooling and balancing section 4.
  • a Windungsleger 6 is arranged, which deposits the wire 1 in a known manner in turns.
  • Fig. 2 differs from the one after Fig. 1 essentially only in that a further driver 5 is arranged here within the cooling and equalizing section 4, which keeps the wire 1 under tension as it passes the cooling and equalizing section 4.
  • the wire 1 thus leaves the finished block or its finishing stands 2 at the speed V D , which, however, is not absolutely constant. Rather, the speed V D fluctuates around an average value.
  • This variation in speed results in that the shed shape of the wire is not optimal, that is, the winding diameter of the wire 1 laid down by the layer is not constant, since the layer rotates at a constant speed, but the wire has a non-constant speed when entering the layer.
  • the drive of the second driver can be controlled so that the loop height is within a predetermined range of values.
  • the drive speed of the Windungslegers is further controlled or regulated in dependence on the conveying speed of the second driver.
  • the wire is held in the cooling and / or compensation path between the last finishing stand and the first driver of this preferably under a predetermined train. Furthermore, it can be provided that within the cooling and / or compensation path, a further driver is arranged, which exerts a tensile force on the wire.
  • the proposed wire rolling mill is characterized according to the invention in that in the conveying direction behind the first driver and before the Windungsleger a second driver is arranged, which is driven so that the wire between the two drivers forms a loop with a measured from the straight nominal line loop height ,
  • control means for detecting the loop height of the loop are provided. Furthermore, control means are advantageously present which are connected to the measuring means and can influence a drive motor for the second driver.
  • the control means can also influence a drive motor of the layer, so that in this way a synchronization of the operating speed of the second driver and the Windungslegers can be made.
  • the rolling process is thus decoupled from the laying process.
  • Fig. 3 is a section of a wire rolling mill 3 to see, which is constructed analogously to the solution described above according to the prior art (s. Fig. 1 and 2 ).
  • the wire 1 leaves in the conveying direction F the finishing stands 2 of a finished block in order to reach a cooling and equalizing section 4.
  • the wire 1 is pulled by the cooling and equalizing section 4 by means of a first driver 5; the driver 5 holds the wire 1 when passing the cooling and balancing section 4 under train.
  • the driving speed of the first driver 5 is determined by the wire speed V D of the wire 1 behind the finished block.
  • the wire 1 has the velocity V D , which is not constant, but fluctuates around an average value.
  • Behind the cooling and equalizing section 4 of the wire 1 enters a Windungsleger 6, which deposits it in a known manner in turns, z. B. on a conveyor belt.
  • a second driver 7 is arranged in the conveying direction F behind the first driver 5 and before the Windungsleger 6.
  • the two drivers 5 and 7 are spaced apart.
  • the second driver 7 is selectively operated so that the wire 1 between the two drivers 5 and 7 forms a loop 8.
  • the loop 8 has a loop height H, which is measured from the straight line or ideal line 9 from.
  • the second driver 7 conveys the wire 1 at a speed V T , which is kept substantially constant and on account of which the winding diameter of the wire results when it is laid down by the layer 6. Namely, the second driver 7 is operated at a constant speed V T , wherein the drive speed of the coil former 6 is coupled to the drive speed of the second driver 7.
  • Fig. 4 Details are in Fig. 4 shown.
  • the wire 1 is not guided linearly along the nominal line 9 between the two drivers 5 and 7, but curved, so that the loop 8 is formed.
  • the loop 8 has a loop height H, which may move between a predeterminable minimum value H min and a maximum value H max .
  • the respective courses of the wire 1 are shown with dashed lines.
  • the current value of the loop height H is determined by means of a measuring means 10, in which it is z. B. can act to a light barrier, which can measure the maximum deflection of the wire 1 from the target line 9.
  • the value determined by the measuring means 10 for the loop height H is fed to a control means 11.
  • the control means 11 drive a drive motor 12 for the second driver 7 so that the loop height H is within the allowable range. If the value of the loop height becomes too large, the drive motor 12 is caused to rotate faster, and if the value becomes too small, the drive motor 12 becomes slower. The loop height H is thus kept in the closed loop at a desired value.
  • control means 11 can also take corresponding effect on the drive of the Windungslegers 6, so that the operating speeds of the second driver 7 and that of the Windungslegers 6 are synchronized. The result is laid turns with uniform winding diameter.
