Abstract

The multi-component roll stand is composed of a pair of self-supporting side sections held together above and below by cross beams (5) and tie bolts. They each have horizontal side carrier shoulders (1d,2d) with carrier pieces (3,4) with recesses (3a,4a) to take the inserted self-supporting cross beams (7,8).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein mehrteiliges Walzgerüst, dessen Gerüstständer durch Zuganker o. dgl. miteinander verbindbar sind. Mehrteilige Walzgerüste für Walzensätze mit parallel verlaufenden Walzenachsen sind in unterschiedlichen Ausbildungsformen bekannt. Es wurde auch bereits vorgeschlagen, (DE-OS 27 03 252) Maschinenrahmen aus prismatischen Körpern mit rechtwinklig zueinander liegenden Wandflächen zusammenzusetzen und diese Körper dann miteinander zu verschrauben.The invention relates to a multi-part rolling stand, the Scaffold stands can be connected to one another by tie rods or the like. Multi-part roll stands for roll sets with parallel ones Roller axes are known in various forms of training. It has also already been proposed (DE-OS 27 03 252) machine frame made of prismatic bodies with right angles to each other Assemble wall surfaces and then these bodies together screw together.

Eine besondere Walzgerüstform, nämlich die Universalwalzgerüste die neben Walzensätzen mit parallel zueinander und horizontal verlaufenden Walzenachsen gleichzeitig Walzensätze mit parallel zueinander und vertikal verlaufenden Walzenachsen aufnehmen, wird bisher durchweg aus einem Stück gegossen; dies in erster Linie deshalb, weil die Walzensätze mit vertikal liegenden Walzenachsen von seitlich der vertikalen Gerüstständer nach außen kragenden Tragansätzen getragen werden müssen.A special form of roll stand, namely the universal roll stand in addition to roller sets with parallel and horizontal Roller axes simultaneously roller sets with parallel to each other and accommodate vertical roller axes has so far been used consistently cast from one piece; this is primarily because the roller sets with vertical roller axes from the side the vertical scaffolding stand projecting outwards must be worn.

Diese Ausbildungsform der Universalwalzgerüste erfordert nicht nur ein aufwendiges Gußverfahren mit häufig auftretenden Gußfehlern sondern darüberhinaus einen ebenfalls einen sehr großen Aufwand bei der Bearbeitung des Gußstückes selbst, da der Gußkörper für das Einbringen der notwendigen Bohrungen und die Bearbeitung von Führungsflächen häufig umgespannt werden muß. Darüber hinaus sind einige Führungsflächen für die Bearbeitung schwer zugänglich und erfordern die Anwendung aufwendiger Vorrichtungen. Einen weiteren Nachteil dieser Ausbildung der Universalwalzgerüste stellt, besonders bei großen und schweren Gerüsten der Transport vom Herstellungs- zum Einsatzort der Gerüste dar.This type of training of universal roll stands not only requires a complex casting process with frequently occurring casting defects but also a very large effort the processing of the casting itself, since the cast body for the Drilling the necessary holes and machining guide surfaces has to be changed frequently. Beyond that some guide surfaces difficult to access for machining and require the use of complex devices. Another one Disadvantage of this design of the universal roll stands, especially for large and heavy scaffolding, the transport from the manufacturing site to the place of use of the scaffolding represents.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diesen hohen technischen Herstellungsaufwand zu verringern und auch die Transportmöglichkeiten der Gerüste zu vereinfachen.The invention has for its object this high technical Reduce manufacturing costs and also the transportation options to simplify the scaffolding.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß zur Bildung eines Universalgerüsts der Vertikalständer aus einem Paar selbständiger, oben und unten durch Querträger über Zuganker verbindbarer Seitenteile zusammensetzbar ist, die jeweils horizontale, seitliche Tragansätze mit Tragstücken und in diesen vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen aufweisen, in die jeweils selbständige Querhäupter einsetzbar sind.This object is achieved in that to form a universal scaffold the vertical stand from a pair of independent, above and at the bottom by crossbeams that can be connected via tie rods can be assembled, the respective horizontal, lateral support lugs with support pieces and recesses provided in these, in which independent cross heads can be used.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausbildungsform erlaubt es, die beiden Gerüstseitenteile als verhältnismäßig flache Körper für sich zu gießen, zu bearbeiten und auch zu transportieren. Das gleiche gilt für die Querträger und die Querhäupter.This form of training according to the invention allows the two Scaffold side parts as relatively flat bodies for themselves pour, process and also transport. The same goes for for the cross beams and the cross heads.

Wie die Erfindung weiter vorsieht, können die den Vertikalständer bildenden Seitenteile auch jeweils aus zwei, vertikal durch symmetriemittige Teilung gebildeten selbständigen Seitenteilhälften bestehen, die durch auf Ansätze aufgesetzte Schrumpfringe oder Zuganker miteinander verbindbar sind. Diese Ausbildung vereinfacht den Guß, die Bearbeitung und den Transport der Teilstücke noch weiter.As the invention further provides, the vertical stand can forming side parts also each of two, vertically through symmetry Division formed independent side part halves consist of shrink rings or Tie rods are interconnectable. This training simplified the casting, processing and transportation of the sections continue.

Zu dem Vertikalständer des Universalgerüsts nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 gehören zwei Seitenteile 1 und 2, die sich jeweils aus, durch obere und untere Traversen 1b; 1c verbundenen Paaren von Ständerholmen 1a bzw. 2a zusammensetzen. Von diesen Ständerholmen 1a; 2a kragen jeweils seitlich nach außen Tragansätze 1d bzw. 2d, in denen später die, nicht dargestellten Lagereinbaustücke der Vertikalwalzen getragen und geführt werden. An den Enden dieser Tragansätze 1d; 2d sind, in diesen längsgeführte Tragstücke 3 bzw. 4 mit schwalbenschwanzförmigen Ausnehmungen 3a bzw. 4a angeordnet. Weiter gehören zum Vertikalständer Paare von oberen und unteren Querträgern 5 bzw. 6 sowie ein Paar von, in die schwalbenschwanzförmigen Ausnehmungen 3a; 4a der Tragstücke 3; 4 einsetzbare Querhäupter 7 bzw. 8.To the vertical stand of the universal scaffold according to FIGS. 1 to 3 include two side panels 1 and 2, each made up by top and lower trusses 1b; 1c connected pairs of uprights Assemble 1a or 2a. Of these uprights 1a; 2a collar each laterally to the outside of shoulder lugs 1d or 2d, in which later the bearing chocks, not shown, of the vertical rollers worn and guided. At the ends of these support lugs 1d; 2d are, in these longitudinally guided support pieces 3 and 4 with dovetail-shaped Recesses 3a and 4a arranged. Belong further to the vertical stand pairs of upper and lower cross members 5 or 6 and a pair of, in the dovetail-shaped recesses 3a; 4a of the support pieces 3; 4 insertable crossheads 7 or 8.

Wie aus den Fig. 4 bis 6 ersichtlich, werden die Seitenteile 1, 2 untereinander durch die oberen und die unteren Quertraversen 5 bzw. 6 mittels der, durch diese und die Ständerholme 1a, 2a geführten Zuganker 9 zu dem Vertikalständer verbunden. Dieser wird anschließend durch Einsetzen der Querhäupter 6 und 7 in die Ausnehmungen 3a, 4a der Tragstücke 3, 4 der Tragansätze 1d, 2d zu dem Universalwalzgerüst vervollständigt.As can be seen from FIGS. 4 to 6, the side parts 1, 2 with each other through the upper and lower cross members 5 and 6 by means of the ones guided through this and the uprights 1a, 2a Tie rod 9 connected to the vertical stand. This will then by inserting the crossheads 6 and 7 into the recesses 3a, 4a of the support pieces 3, 4 of the support lugs 1d, 2d to the universal rolling stand completed.

Die Ausbildung des Universalgerüsts nach den Fig. 7 bis 9 und 10 bis 12 entspricht dem grundsätzlichen Aufbau der Ausbildung nach den Fig. 1 bis 6. Zusätzlich sind hier die beiden Seitenteile 1' und 2' durch vertikale, mittige Teilung der oberen und unteren Traversen 1b', 1c' und 2b', 2c' in zwei spiegelbildlich gleiche Hälften aufgeteilt, die im Bereich der Teilmitte Ansätze 10 aufweisen die, wie aus den Fig. 10 und 12 hervorgeht, mit Hilfe von Schrumpfringen 11 miteinander verbunden werden.The formation of the universal scaffold according to FIGS. 7 to 9 and 10 to 12 corresponds to the basic structure of the training 1 to 6. In addition, here are the two side parts 1 ' and 2 'by vertical, central division of the upper and lower Trusses 1b ', 1c' and 2b ', 2c' in two mirror images of the same Halves divided, which have approaches 10 in the area of the middle part which, as is apparent from FIGS. 10 and 12, with the aid of Shrink rings 11 are interconnected.
