Device for receiving and onwardly transporting coils of rolled strip which are transported to said device from a strip rolling mill or a rolled strip storage unit

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for receiving, transporting onwards and unwinding coils of rolled strip (WB) which are successively transported to the device from a strip rolling mill or a rolled strip storage unit. The device consists of a carousel-type support (KT) which can be driven in rotation about a vertical axis (VA) and on which a pair of radially projecting, rotationally mounted support mandrels (TD) with axial locking elements are located, these support mandrels being angularly offset from each other about 190°. The carousel support (KT) pivots the support mandrels out of a receiving position (A) for the coils of rolled strip (WB), into an unwinding position (C), about a pivot angle of 180°. The carousel support also has at least two other support mandrels (TD II and TD IV) which are offset from the two aforementioned support mandrels (TD I and TD III) by 90°, respectively. Other processing positions (B and D) for removing the coil binding strip and marking or applying the coil binding strip are provided between the receiving position (A) and the unwinding position (C) and between the unwinding position (C) and the receiving position (A) of the support mandrels (TD I, TD II, TD III, TD IV), angularly offset about 90°, respectively.

1 . Device for receiving, transporting, and unwinding coils of rolled strip (WB) which have been transported to the device in succession from a strip rolling mill or a rolled strip storage unit, consisting of a carousel support (KT) which can be driven in rotation around a vertical axis (VA) and which is equipped with four rotatably mounted support mandrels (TD) with axial locking elements (RV), the mandrels being offset by 90° from each other and projecting in the radial direction, the carousel support rotating the mandrels around a certain pivot angle from a position (A) in which the coils of rolled strip (WB) can be unwound or removed, characterized in that positions with devices for the further processing of the coils of rolled strip (WB) such as devices for removing the coil binding strap, for labeling, for binding the coil, etc., are provided for the carousel support (KT) between, and with a 90° offset in each case from, the receiving position (A) and the unwinding position of the support mandrels (TD).  
     
     
         2 . Device according to  claim 1 , characterized by a rotational drive installed permanently in the area of the unwinding position (C), which drive can be coupled to the support mandrel (TDI, TDII, TDIII, TDIV) which is opposite it at the time in question.  
     
     
         3 . Device according to  claim 2 , characterized by a strip shear (BS), which is installed near the unwinding position (C) in the path along which the unwound strip travels.  
     
     
         4 . Device according to  claim 3 , characterized by a straightening device downline from the strip shear (BS).
