Abstract

The disclosure discloses a convexity adjusting mechanism for a working roll of a straightening machine and relates to the field of plate straightening devices. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine comprises a transmission shaft, a plurality of convexity adjusters, working rolls and supporting rolls corresponding to each convexity adjuster. The transmission shaft, the supporting rolls and the working rolls are axially parallel; the convexity adjust comprises a sleeve, a cam and a controller; the cam is provided with a through hole, the sleeve is mounted in the through hole, and the cam is sleeved on the transmission shaft through the sleeve; the sleeve is connected with the controller, and one end of the sleeve is provided with a gripping clawt.

First claim

We claim:

1. A convexity adjusting mechanism for a working roll of a straightening machine, comprising: a transmission shaft, a plurality of convexity adjusters, working rolls and supporting rolls corresponding to each convexity adjuster, wherein the transmission shaft, the supporting rolls and the working rolls are axially parallel;
the convexity adjust comprises a sleeve, a cam and a controller; the cam is provided with a through hole, the sleeve is mounted in the through hole, and the cam is sleeved on the transmission shaft through the sleeve; and the sleeve is connected with the controller, and one end of the sleeve is provided with a gripping claw;
after the controller is powered on, the sleeve is driven to move along an axial direction of the transmission shaft until the gripping claw cooperates with the through hole to grip the transmission shaft, so that the transmission shaft drives the cam to rotate to adjust a convexity of the supporting roll; and
the working roll is contacted with the supporting roll, and the working roll is used for adjusting a shape defect of a processed material based on the convexity of the supporting roll.

2. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a detector;
the detector being used for measuring a plate shape of the processed material, determining a defect position of the processed material with a plate shape defect, and sending an power-on signal to the controller of the convexity adjuster corresponding to the defect position to power on the controller.

3. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 2 , wherein the detector comprises: a laser rangefinder or a plate shape measuring instrument.

4. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises: a clamping groove, a transposition fork, an armature iron and an electromagnet; and the armature iron is mounted on the transposition fork;
the clamping groove is sleeved on the other end of the sleeve, and the transposition fork is clamped in the clamping groove; and
after the controller is powered on, the electromagnet attracts the armature iron, so that the armature iron drives the transposition fork to move, and then drives the sleeve to move until the gripping claw arranged at one end of the sleeve grips the transmission shaft tightly.

5. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 4 , wherein the clamping groove is a clamping groove nut; the other end of the sleeve is provided with a thread; and the clamping groove nut is sleeved on the other end of the sleeve through the thread.

6. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 4 , wherein the controller further comprises: a transposition base, a reset spring and a guide bar;
the reset spring and the transposition fork are sleeved on the guide bar, and the guide bar and the electromagnet are fixed on the transposition base;
after the controller is powered on, the electromagnet attracts the armature iron, so that the armature iron drives the transposition fork to move, and then drives the sleeve to move to contract the reset spring; and
after the controller is powered off, the reset spring in the contracted state exerts a thrust on the transposition fork to reset the transposition fork and further drive the sleeve to reset.

7. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 6 , wherein the transposition base is a U-shaped base; and
the electromagnet is fixed on one end of the U-shaped base, and the transposition fork is sleeved on the other end of the U-shaped base.

8. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 1 , wherein the through hole of the cam is provided with a spline groove; and a middle portion of the sleeve is provided with a spline; and
the cam is sleeved on the sleeve through cooperation of the spline and the spline groove.

9. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 1 , further comprising: a motor, wherein the motor is used for driving the transmission shaft to rotate.

10. The convexity adjusting mechanism for the working roll of the straightening machine according to claim 9 , wherein a coupling is mounted at one end of the transmission shaft, and the coupling is meshed with an output shaft of the motor through a bevel gear pair.
