Stand housing comprising a roller guide

Abstract

The present application relates to a stand (1) for rolling metal rods, wires, or pipes, along a rolling axis (19). The stand (1) comprises three rollers (20.1, 20.2, 20.3) which are located on one roller shaft in each case and surround the rolling axis (19) in a star-shaped manner, and which together form a caliber (21), a stand housing (10) having an outside (12) which, viewed along the rolling axis (19), comprises at least six side surfaces (14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6) that are arranged so as to be offset about the rolling axis (19), about a 60° rotation in each case, and two end faces (13, 15) which are opposite one another, wherein the side surfaces (14.1-14.6) form a regular hexagon, at least in an imagine extension, and a roller guide (60) which is attached to one of the end faces (13, 15) of the stand housing (10) and comprises a universal shaft (62), wherein the universal shaft (62) comprises a roller adjustment connector (64) via which a central adjustment of the roller guide (60) is possible and which is attached on the stand housing (10) in one corner (16.1, 16.2, 16.3, 16.4, 16.5, 16.6) of the hexagon.

1 . A stand for rolling metal rods, wires, or pipes, along a rolling axis, comprising:
 three rollers located on a respective roller shaft and the three rollers surrounding the rolling axis in a star-shaped manner collectively forming a caliber;   a stand housing having an outside comprising at least six side surfaces when viewed along the rolling axis that are arranged so as to be offset about the rolling axis by a 60° rotation between adjacent side surfaces, and two end faces that are opposite one another, wherein the side surfaces form a regular hexagon, at least in an imaginary extension; and   a roller guide attached to one of the end faces of the stand housing, the roller guide comprising a universal shaft, wherein the universal shaft comprises a roller adjustment connector configured to enable a central adjustment of the roller guide, and wherein the roller adjustment connector is attached to the stand housing in a corner of the hexagon.   
     
     
         2 . The stand according to  claim 1 , wherein the stand housing comprises at least one pair of coupling clamping regions arranged in one corner of the hexagon and on which the roller adjustment connector is attached, wherein a first coupling clamping region of the pair is arranged on one of the end faces and a second coupling clamping region of the pair is arranged on the other of the end faces. 
     
     
         3 . The stand according to  claim 2 , comprising two pairs of coupling clamping regions, a first pair of coupling clamping regions arranged in one corner of the hexagon and a second pair of coupling clamping regions arranged in a corner of the hexagon offset about the rolling axis by a 120° rotation from the corner of the first pair of coupling clamping regions, wherein the roller adjustment connector is attached to one of said pairs. 
     
     
         4 . The stand according to  claim 2 , comprising three pairs of coupling clamping regions, a first pair of the pairs of coupling clamping regions arranged in one corner of the hexagon and the other two pairs of coupling clamping regions arranged in corners adjacent to the corner of the first pair, wherein the roller adjustment connector is attached to one of said pairs. 
     
     
         5 . The stand according to  claim 1 , wherein the stand housing comprises at least one operating material connection on at least one of the end faces, and wherein the roller guide comprises an operating material line connected to the operating material connection on the stand housing. 
     
     
         6 . The stand according to  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment connector for introducing an adjustment torque, the adjustment connector configured to adjust a radial position of the roller shafts such that the caliber is set. 
     
     
         7 . The stand according to  claim 6 , wherein the adjustment connector is arranged on the outside of the stand housing, in one of the corners of the regular hexagon. 
     
     
         8 . The stand according to  claim 6 , wherein the adjustment connector is manually actuatable. 
     
     
         9 . The stand according to  claim 6 , wherein the adjustment connector is a remote adjustment connector. 
     
     
         10 . The stand according to  claim 9 , wherein the adjustment connector is manually actuatable or wherein the remote adjustment connector is automatically actuatable by a motor
