Three major parts of the variable geometry plate rolling machine

PRV is a hydraulic 3-roller variable geometry plate rolling machine, which is used to complete the pre-bending, rounding, and rounding of the end of the plate without turning around after loading carbon steel and low-alloy steel for various containers at room temperature. It can roll arc-shaped workpieces. The top roll moves vertically and the two lower rolls move horizontally.

  • Pre-bending is achieved by moving the lower roll horizontally so that the upper roll is in an asymmetrical position relative to the lower roll.
  • When rolling the workpiece, the two lower rollers are driven by the motor and the reducer. Since the elevation of the lower roller remains unchanged, it is convenient for feeding and operation.

Description

Debugging Rolling Process of Ø9000mm Wind Tubular Tower【3 Roll Plate Rolling Machine】

The left and right main cylinders of the PRV variable geometry plate rolling machine are arranged one above the other. The two lower working rolls of the bending rolls are the main driving rolls, the top roll is pressed down by the hydraulic cylinder, and the lower roll is driven to rotate by the double motor through the deceleration box. The double motor drive can greatly reduce the load loss (useless work) so that the Large work (useful work) is used for coiling; the lifting of the top roll is driven by hydraulic pressure, the lifting displacement is controlled by a computer, automatic leveling, screen display, synchronization accuracy ± 0.2mm.

The horizontal movement of the lower roll adopts mechanical transmission, and the horizontal movement is decelerated by the worm gear reducer and is driven by the linear motion through the screw and the nut pair. The tipping and reset of the tipping frame adopt hydraulic transmission. When the main drive is rounded, two motors drive the two lower rollers through two reducers. It has the advantages of small size, compact structure, small footprint, high transmission efficiency, and environmental adaptability. Strong and other advantages.

PRV is a hydraulic 3-roller variable geometry plate rolling machine with an advanced and reliable structure, sufficient rigidity, reasonable material selection, precision manufacturing, excellent performance, long precision retention period, suitable for long-term continuous processing, stable and reliable operation, and simple operation.

Six structures and performance of PRV variable geometry plate rolling machine

Three Major Parts Of The Variable Geometry Plate Rolling Machine

The main structure of the variable geometry plate rolling machine(not a sheet metal rolling machine) is composed of a top roll device, two lower rolls and a horizontal moving device, an idler roller device, a main transmission device, a tipping unloads device, a frame body, a balancing device, etc.

Structure 1#: Top roll

Three Major Parts Of The Variable Geometry Plate Rolling Machine

The upper roller device is composed of a main oil cylinder, upper roller, double-row self-aligning bearing, and so on.
The two main oil cylinders provide the pressure required for rolling the plate, and the working pressure of the main oil cylinders is 19.5 MPa.
Double-row self-aligning bearings adopt low-speed, heavy-duty self-aligning roller bearings.

PLC control system of the PRV variable geometry plate rolling machine

This industrial computer control system is a special scheme control system specially designed and manufactured for the CNC hydraulic level down adjustment three-roll plate bending machine. This system includes hardware parts such as the main electric cabinet, industrial computer cabinet, and special control configuration software for the industrial counting machine.
It is equipped with a fixed operation table and a wireless remote control button box, which is convenient for the operator to use.

Composition and principle

The core of the micro-control system of PRV three-roll plate rolling machine: industrial control computer, S7-200 programmable logic controller (PLC) produced by SIEMENS, display (resolution up to 1024×768), German “SIEMENS” PLC and Siemens double breakpoint Composed of DC relays and their peripheral drive control circuits, sensors, etc. The programmable logic controller (PLC) is respectively connected to the displacement sensor of the oil cylinder and the signal output terminal of the imported original pressure sensor to obtain its displacement and pressure status. The computer-specific control program obtains displacement, pressure, and other data and PLC input and output status through the PLC. The computer and PLC integrate the above information, control the output of the PLC through intelligent processing, and control the operation of peripheral electrical appliances and hydraulic equipment through the intermediate relay. superior. The system is advanced in design, flexible in operation, safe and reliable in operation, good in fault tolerance, and can operate reliably even without a computer.

Micro control system

The control system has two control methods, manual and automatic, and it can still operate reliably without the computer and can be switched easily. The main interface of the system is divided into five parts: title bar, menu bar, toolbar, user interface, and status bar. Among them, the user interface consists of the operating parameters and status area (displaying the pressure, displacement, and ideal shape of the workpiece of each cylinder), the input/output status area (displaying the main input/output working conditions of the programmable controller),
The processing parameter area (displays the current processing parameters and other data) and the alarm prompt area (displays the alarm and prompt information); the current system protection pressure and system time are displayed on the status bar.

Control system function

The control system has the following functions:

Screen display

The display mode of the microcomputer system is very rich and perfect: the lifting displacement, inclination, pressure of the main cylinder, the horizontal displacement of the lower roller, and the pressure of the balance cylinder are all displayed on the screen.
The screen displays the working status of each hydraulic solenoid valve, which is green when the power is on and red when the power is off. The codes and arrangements of the solenoid valves are the same as those of the hydraulic station. detection.
Open the master cylinder speed detection window to detect the speed of the left and right master cylinders when lifting, so as to artificially adjust the roughly synchronous speed of the master cylinders when lifting.
Various alarms upper and lower limits, etc., are displayed in eye-catching red text in the list box of “Alarm and Status Information” in the upper middle part of the screen; the real-time protection pressure and system time determined by the system according to the input conditions will be
Displayed in real-time on the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

Calculation

The microcomputer control system includes functions such as calculation, control, display, modification of system parameters, timing opening and closing of the lubricating pump, etc.

Input the relevant parameters of the workpiece from the keyboard, such as plate thickness, plate width, yield limit (the screen prompts the yield limit and strengthening coefficient of commonly used materials), and the diameter of the drum (the diameter of the cone and the diameter of the cone are respectively input), and the computer automatically calculates and optimizes the number of times of pressing. The amount of reduction each time, the horizontal movement of the lower roller, the theoretical forming radius of each reduction, and a load of each roller. Output the inclination of the upper roll when rolling the cone, output the minimum remaining straight edge value when pre-bending, and can arbitrarily select the pressing times and the length of the pre-bending straight edge under the prompt on the screen, and recalculate the new data. For overload or input errors in the process operations such as rolling plate, pre-bending, and cone rolling, the microcomputer reminds the operator to make corrections at any time. By clicking “Process Parameter Calculation”, the calculation of workpiece process parameters can be realized (as shown in the figure below). Fill in the processing parameters such as the physical properties of the workpiece material in the dialog box, click “Save and Exit” to save the parameter table in the database (it can be called directly in the future), and transfer the parameter table into the current workspace. Through the “Technical parameter selection” button, the previously saved workpiece processing parameter table can also be transferred into the current processing area (as shown below).

Program control

The calculated process parameters are automatically sent to the program control window. Users can also use the keyboard to manually input process parameters in the program control window or call the mature process parameters in stock to the program control window. The process parameters in the program control window are mainly the pressing times. , the amount of pressing each time, the amount of inclination, and the amount of horizontal movement of the lower roller, the operator can modify and set it arbitrarily.
After setting the process parameters, the operator can choose manual operation or automatic operation. During manual operation, the operator presses the working roll up and down and moving buttons, and observes the displacement value displayed on the screen to make the working roll reach the set value and start coiling; choose automatic During operation, move the cursor to the desired reduction value of the upper roll, press the Enter key, the upper roll will stop automatically when it reaches the set value, and the plate rolling can start, and the feeding of the plate is controlled manually. Keep the cursor still, slightly change the current pressing value of the cursor, and press the Enter key, the upper roller can move up and down or tilt slightly according to the current value, realizing digital operation. When the cylinder is rolled, the inclination is generally zero. Sometimes it is a common technological measure to make a small inclination of the upper roll belt to correct the misalignment of the steel plate.

Process parameter storage

The microcomputer can store a thousand process parameters of different workpieces, which are stored in the hard disk in a certain order, and the user can transfer them to the program control window for use at any time. Mature process parameters can be stored in the hard disk at any time.

Soft protection

In addition to various travel switches and protection components, the electrical control system has a microcomputer with soft protection function, which can alarm or control the limit stroke of each roller, the limit pressure of each cylinder, the oil level and temperature of the hydraulic station, and the blockage of the filter.
When rolling small workpieces with small diameters or pre-bending, according to the work roll load calculated by the calculation program, the operator can set the safety pressure of a single workpiece that is much lower than the maximum rated workpiece pressure of the machine, so that the machine can run in a safe state.
