Modular stand base for stands of a rolling mill

Abstract

The present application relates to a stand base (10) for two or more stands (14) of a rolling mill arranged one behind the other in a rolling direction (W) of a material to be rolled, the stand base (10) comprising two or more receiving modules (12) arranged one behind the other, which are fastened to a common lower base frame (32) and a common upper cover frame (34).

1 . A stand base for two or more stands of a rolling mill, the two or more stands arranged one behind the other in a rolling direction of a material to be rolled, the stand base comprising:
 two or more receiving modules arranged one behind the other and fastened to a common lower base frame and a common upper cover frame.   
     
     
         2 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the receiving modules comprises an operating substance connection directed towards a lateral opening, the operating substance connection configured to supply a respective stand with an operating substance. 
     
     
         3 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the receiving modules comprises a retainer for an electrical or hydraulic remote adjustment means of a respective stand. 
     
     
         4 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the receiving modules comprises a retainer for an electrical or hydraulic remote adjustment means of a roller guide attached to a respective stand. 
     
     
         5 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the receiving modules includes a clamping mechanism for temporarily fixing a respective stand in the receiving module. 
     
     
         6 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the receiving modules is mounted at a bottom of the respective receiving module in a base of the receiving module in a torque-free manner, such that each of the receiving modules is tiltable along the rolling direction,
 wherein each of the receiving modules against a respective counter bearing at a top of the respective receiving module.   
     
     
         7 . The stand base according to  claim 6 , wherein a force measuring device is arranged between a receiving module and the respective counter bearing such that a force acting on a respective stand received in the receiving module in the rolling direction, can be measured. 
     
     
         8 . The stand base according to  claim 7 , wherein a limitation element is arranged between a receiving module and the respective counter bearing, the limitation element configured to protect the force measuring device against overloading. 
     
     
         9 . The stand base according to  claim 6 , wherein the counter bearings of the receiving modules are fastened to a common cover frame. 
     
     
         10 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein each receiving module comprises a longitudinal drive having a gripper device, such that a respective stand can be pushed into the receiving module and out of the receiving module through the lateral opening. 
     
     
         11 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein two different receiving modules for receiving the stands in two different arrangements are arranged alternately behind one another. 
     
     
         12 . The stand base according to  claim 1 , wherein a stand is received in each of the receiving modules. 
     
     
         13 . The stand base of  claim 6 , wherein each of the receiving modules is mounted on the base frame.
