Abstract

A hydraulically controlled backing roller includes a mandrel, two cover plates which are installed at two ends of the mandrel through screws respectively, and two screwdown gears which are installed at two end portions of the mandrel respectively. The two screwdown gears are engaged with an output rack of a screwdown hydraulic cylinder, multiple saddle ring sets are sleeved on the mandrel at equal intervals, a saddle ring of each of the saddle ring sets is fixed with a frame through a fan-shaped plate, a backing bearing is provided between two adjacent saddle ring sets; an inner eccentric ring of the each of the saddle ring sets is driven to rotate by hydraulic driving, so that the mandrel has a deflection deformation, and the deflection deformation is transmitted to other adjacent rollers through the backing bearing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulically controlled backing roller, which comprises a mandrel, two cover plates which are installed at two ends of the mandrel through screws respectively, and two screwdown gears which are installed at two end portions of the mandrel respectively, wherein: the two screwdown gears are configured to be engaged with an output rack of a screwdown hydraulic cylinder, multiple saddle ring sets are sleeved on the mandrel at equal intervals, a saddle ring of each of the saddle ring sets is configured to be fixed with a frame through a fan-shaped plate, a backing bearing is provided between two adjacent saddle ring sets; an inner eccentric ring of each of the saddle ring sets is driven to rotate by hydraulic driving, so that the mandrel has a deflection deformation, and the deflection deformation is transmitted to other adjacent rollers through the backing bearing; and wherein each of the saddle ring sets comprises a saddle ring, an outer eccentric ring, an inner eccentric ring, two outer eccentric ring rotors, two outer eccentric ring stators, multiple rotor blades and two valve plates, wherein the saddle ring is configured to be fixedly connected with the frame through the fan-shaped plate, the outer eccentric ring is provided within the saddle ring, an outer circle of the outer eccentric ring is coaxial with an inner hole of the saddle ring, the inner eccentric ring is provided within the outer eccentric ring, an outer ring of the inner eccentric ring is concentric with an inner circle of the outer eccentric ring, multiple needle bearings are provided between the saddle ring and the outer eccentric ring and are provided between the outer eccentric ring and the inner eccentric ring, the two outer eccentric ring rotors are fixed at two sides of the outer eccentric ring through pins respectively for realizing a synchronous rotation of the two outer eccentric ring rotors and the outer eccentric ring, the multiple rotor blades are evenly distributed on each of the two outer eccentric ring rotors for withstanding the thrust of hydraulic oil, the two outer eccentric ring stators are fixed at two sides of the saddle ring through screws respectively, two hydraulic oil ports are provided on the two outer eccentric ring stators respectively for inflow and outflow of hydraulic oil, two sunken passages are provided at two surfaces of the two outer eccentric ring stators which are opposite to each other respectively, the two sunken passages have two counter bores respectively for guiding hydraulic oil, the two valve plates are provided within the two passages respectively, each of the two valve plates has two recesses which are symmetrical to each other for introducing hydraulic oil into a chamber which is provided between an inner circumferential surface of one of the two passages and an outer circumferential surface of one of the two outer eccentric ring rotors, the one of the two outer eccentric ring rotors is provided within the one of the two passages, an oil baffle and an oil retaining ring are provided between the one of the two outer eccentric ring rotors and one of the two outer eccentric ring stators which is corresponding to the one of the two outer eccentric ring rotors, for sealing to reduce leakage of hydraulic oil.

2. The hydraulically controlled backing roller according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two valve plates is elliptical.
