Threefold rotationally symmetrical stand housing having integrated operating fluid lines

Abstract

The present application relates to a stand housing ( 10 ) for a stand ( 1 ) for rolling metal rods, wires or pipes along a rolling axis ( 19 ), wherein the stand housing ( 10 ) comprises an outside ( 12 ) having six side surfaces ( 14.1 - 14.6 ) which, viewed along the rolling axis ( 19 ), form edges of a regular hexagon, an inlet side ( 15 ), and an outlet side ( 13 ). In this case, at least one water feed opening ( 43.1, 43.2, 43.3 ) is arranged on three of the side surfaces ( 14.1, 14.3, 14.5 ) that are not adjacent in each case, which opening is designed to conduct water through the interior of the stand housing ( 10 ) to a water outlet opening ( 42.1, 42.2, 42.3 ) in the outlet side ( 13 ) or in the inlet side ( 15 ).

1 . A stand housing for a stand for rolling metal rods, wires, or pipes along a rolling axis, the stand housing comprising:
 an outside having six side surfaces when viewed along the rolling axis form edges of a regular hexagon, an inlet side and an outlet side, and   at least one water feed opening arranged on three of the side surfaces that are not adjacent to one another, the at least one water feed opening configured to conduct water through the interior of the stand housing to a water outlet opening in the outlet side or in the inlet side.   
     
     
         2 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , wherein two parallel water feed openings are arranged on the three side surfaces that are not adjacent, on each of the respective three side surfaces, a first opening is configured to conduct water through the interior of the stand housing to a water outlet opening in the outlet side, and of a second opening is configured to conduct water through the interior of the stand housing to a water outlet opening in the inlet side. 
     
     
         3 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the water outlet openings are each located on a perpendicular bisector of an edge of the hexagon when viewed along the rolling axis. 
     
     
         4 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , wherein an air connection is arranged on each of three of the side surfaces that are not adjacent to one another, the air connection is configured to conduct compressed air into the interior of the stand housing. 
     
     
         5 . The stand housing according to  claim 4 , wherein the three air connections lead into a common cavity, wherein the stand housing is configured to prevent an outflow of the compressed air out of one of the air connections through one valve respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The stand housing according to  claim 4 , wherein the air connections are arranged on the same non-adjacent side surfaces as the water feed openings. 
     
     
         7 . The stand housing according to  claim 4  wherein in one of the water feed openings and one of the air connections are oriented in parallel with one another and are configured to be connected along the same direction. 
     
     
         8 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , further comprising three bearing holes for mounting one roller shaft in each bearing hole, respectively, wherein the bearing holes are in one of the side surfaces such that the bearing holes are offset in a rotationally symmetrical manner about the rolling axis by a 120° rotation between adjacent bearing holes, and wherein the water feed openings are in side surfaces which do not comprise any bearing holes. 
     
     
         9 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the stand housing is closed and undivided. 
     
     
         10 . A stand for rolling metal rods, wires or pipes along a rolling axis, comprising:
 three rollers each located on one roller shaft respectively, and surrounding the rolling axis in a star-shaped manner collectively forming a caliber; and   a stand housing according to  claim 1 .   
     
     
         11 . The stand housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the stand housing is formed from a monobloc.
