The present disclosure relates to the field of section steel production technology, in particular to a single-tooth track plate cogging-down pass and a hot rolling method.
Tracks are commonly used walking components in construction machinery. Compared to tires, tracks can be applied in various harsh working environments and have advantages such as wear resistance and impact resistance. Track plates are essential metallurgical products for the production of tracks, with various forming methods such as casting, stamping, mechanical processing, and rolling. Compared with casting, stamping, and machining methods, the rolling forming method has high efficiency, low cost, and excellent comprehensive performance, making it increasingly widely used. On the other hand, due to the complex and asymmetric cross-sectional shape of the track plate, it is difficult to control the deformation of the rolled piece during the rolling process, which is prone to bending, twisting, pouring and stacking, making it difficult to achieve automated production. Therefore, the formation of track plates, especially the single-tooth track plates with high degree of asymmetry, has to be produced by manually assisted rolling and biting, greatly increasing the risk of personal injury accidents.
Chinese patent CN201310393973.1 discloses a single-tooth track plate semi-open and semi-closed blanking mold and a single-tooth track plate forging method. Its purpose is to provide a semi-open and semi-closed blanking mold for single-tooth track plates that can be used for pre forging billets of single-tooth track plates and the resulting forgings are easier to perform final forging, and to provide a single-tooth track plate forging method using forging technology and for forging the single-tooth track plate. This forging method produces track plates with low yield and high cost.
In the paper “Finite Element Simulation of Track Steel Rolling Process” published in the third issue of “Steel Vanadium Titanium” on Jul. 30, 2009, a rolling process for track steel was involved, it was pointed out that a single-tooth track steel has a complex cross-sectional shape and is prone to twisting, warping, and lateral bending during the rolling process, which affects the smooth rolling process. In response to the problem of severe torsion in deep hole cutting of track steel, the pass parameters were optimized to reduce the torsion angle during the rolling process of deep hole cutting of track steel from 135.6° to 13.85°, meeting the requirements for normal bite in subsequent passes and ensuring the smooth progress of production. The rolling process mentioned in this document not only has serious torsion problems with the 6 holes mentioned in the text, but also includes 3 box shaped holes, including 1 hole, 2 holes, and 3 holes, for material shrinkage, increasing the length and pass of the rolling roller, resulting in low production efficiency and high energy consumption. In addition, 4 holes, 5 holes, and 8 holes all have prominent problems such as unstable support state at the bottom of the rolled piece, easy tilting or overturning after steel turning, and affecting subsequent rolling. Not only is the dimensional accuracy difficult to control, but it also requires manual assistance in biting the rolled piece, which is not conducive to improving production rhythm and controlling safety risks.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a single-tooth track plate cogging-down pass and a hot rolling method, which can achieve a good middle billet shape while ensuring stable support at the bottom of billet, without tilting or overturning after steel turning, and can achieve efficient hot rolling production of the single-tooth track plates without the need for manual assistance.

As shown in
The cogging-down pass comprises a first cogging hole 1 and a second cogging hole 3, the first cogging hole 1 is formed by a first upper roller and a first lower roller of a cogging mill, and the second cogging hole 3 is formed by a second upper roller and a second lower roller of the cogging mill, wherein the first cogging hole 1 is a front hole, and the first cogging hole 1 is used to extrude the rectangular continuous casting billet into a mountain shaped middle billet including a right bent limb 11, a first center column 12, and a left bent limb 13, wherein the second cogging hole 3 is a rear hole, the second cogging hole 3 is used to extrude the mountain shaped middle billet into an inverted T-shaped middle billet including a right flat limb 32, a second center column 32, and a left flat limb 33. In the process of rolling the single-tooth track plate 5 with the first cogging hole 1 and the second cogging hole 3 of the cogging mill, the shortcomings of low efficiency, poor safety and poor dimensional accuracy caused by the instability of billet can be eliminated, and the efficient production of the single-tooth track plate 5 can be realized.
Furthermore, as shown in
The first inclined plane 14 and the first plane 15 cooperate with the fifth inclined plane 21 and the fourth plane 22 to form the right bent limb 11 of the first cogging hole 1. The second inclined plane 16, the second plane 17, and the third inclined plane 18 cooperate with the fourth plane 22 to form the first center column 12 of the first cogging hole 1, the third plane 19 and the fourth inclined plane 20 cooperate with the fourth plane 22 and the sixth inclined plane 23 to form the left binding limb 13 of the first cogging hole 1. The right bent limb 11 and the left bent limb 13 are both curved structures. The bending design of the right bent limb 11 and the left bent limb 13 can maximize the width and height of each part of the billet corresponding to the main plate 51, the tool plate 52, and the side wing 53 of the single-tooth track plate 5. Thus, the single-tooth track plate 5 can be rolled using smaller billets, with fewer rolling passes, high production process efficiency, low energy consumption, and in line with the national green and low-carbon industry policy. The combination of the fifth inclined plane 21, the fourth plane 22, and the sixth inclined plane 23 forms a groove structure at the bottom of the first cogging hole 1, enabling the first upper roller and the first lower roller of the cogging mill to stably clamp the billet, ensuring stable support state at the bottom of the billet, and achieving stable rolling. Furthermore, it can achieve control over the dimensional accuracy of the billet, effectively reducing the degree of torsion and bending of the billet during the rolling process, and preventing subsequent rolling from being affected by the inclination or overturning of the billet. It does not require manual assistance in biting the rolled piece, effectively improving the production rhythm and reducing safety risks.
Furthermore, as shown in
Appropriate arc transitions are achieved between the second inclined plane 16 and the second plane 17, as well as between the second plane 17 and the third inclined plane 18. Specifically, the smooth transitions are achieved between the second inclined plane 16 and the second plane 17, as well as between the second plane 17 and the third inclined plane 18 through an arc with a radius of 10 mm to 30 mm (e.g. 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 24 mm, 26 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm). The smooth transitions are achieved between the first inclined plane 14 and the first plane 15, between the first plane 15 and the second inclined plane 16, between the third inclined plane 18 and the third plane 19, between the third plane 19 and the fourth inclined plane 20, between the fifth inclined plane 21 and the fourth plane 22, between the fourth plane 22 and the sixth inclined plane 23 through an arc with a radius of 25 mm to 60 mm (e.g. 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm). The setting of the above parameters can achieve uniform deformation at the joints of various parts of the billet, reduce cutting resistance, and at the same time enable the first center column 12 to grow to the ideal height as much as possible, meeting the size control needs of the side wing 53 of the finished product of the single-tooth track plate 5.
Specifically, as shown in
Furthermore, as shown in
The seventh inclined plane 34 and the eighth inclined plane 35 cooperate with the sixth plane 41 to form the right flat limb 31 of the second cogging hole 3. The ninth inclined plane 36, the fifth plane 37 and the tenth inclined plane 38 cooperate with the arc segment 42 to form the second center column 32 of the second cogging hole 3. The eleventh inclined plane 39 and the twelfth inclined plane 40 cooperate with the seventh plane 43 to form the left flat limb 33 of the second cogging hole 3. The shape of the second center column 32 of the second cogging hole 3 is similar to that of the first center column 12 of the first cogging hole 1, which can make the mountain shaped middle billet stable during rolling in the second cogging hole 3. The design of the right flat limb 31 and the left flat limb 33 of the second cogging hole 3 can reduce the thickness of the billet while straightening a part of the mountain shaped middle billet corresponding to the right bent limb 11 and the left bent limb 13 of the first cogging hole 1, which can further promote the growth of a part of the mountain shaped middle billet corresponding to the main plate 51 and the tooth plate 52 of the single-tooth track plate 5. The design of the arc segment 42 of the second cogging hole 3 can promote metal flow from this area to the upper part of the second center column 32 of the second cogging hole 3, promote its height, and provide a shape that is close in size and easy to bite for subsequent rolling. The cooperation of the sixth plane 41, the seventh plane 43 and the arc segment 42 of the second cogging hole 3 enables the lower part of the billet to extrude a bridge shape with flat sides and raised middle. During rolling, the billet is in a stable state and will not shake or overturn, eliminating the shortcomings of low efficiency, poor safety and poor dimensional accuracy caused by the instability of the billet, and realizing the efficient production of the single-tooth track plate 5.
Furthermore, as shown in
Appropriate arc transitions are achieved between the seventh inclined plane 34 and the eighth inclined plane 35, between the ninth inclined plane 36 and the fifth plane 37, between the fifth plane 37 and the tenth inclined plane 38, between the eleventh inclined plane 39 and the twelfth inclined plane 40, specifically, a smooth transition is achieved between the seventh inclined plane 34 and the eighth inclined plane 35, between the ninth inclined plane 36 and the fifth plane 37, between the fifth plane 37 and the tenth inclined plane 38, between the eleventh inclined plane 39 and the twelfth inclined plane 40 through an arc with a radius of 10 mm to 30 mm (e.g. 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 24 mm, 26 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm) A smooth transition is achieved between the eighth inclined plane 35 and the ninth inclined plane 36, between the tenth inclined plane 38 and the eleventh inclined plane 39 through an arc with a radius of 50 mm to 80 mm (e.g. 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm, 80 mm). The setting of the above parameters can achieve uniform deformation at the joints of various parts of the billet, and accurately control the state of the billet, achieving stable rolling of the second cogging hole 3.
Furthermore, a length of the right flat limb 31 is B3, a vertical distance between the fifth plane 37 and the sixth plane 41 is H2, B3:H2=1˜2:1; a length of the left flat limb 33 is B4, B4:H2=0.6˜1.2:1. The setting of the above parameters can reduce the thickness of the billet while straightening the right bent limb 11 and the left bent limb 13 of the mountain shaped middle billet, and further promote the growth of the main plate 11 and the tool plate 52 of the single-tooth track plate 5.
Furthermore, the width of the continuous casting billet shall not be less than the width W1 of the fourth plane 22 on the upper surface of the first lower roller, and the width of the continuous casting billet shall not be greater than the width W2 of the first cogging hole 1, and a ratio of the height to the width of the continuous casting billet shall be 0.7-1.3 (e.g. 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3). The above design of the width and the height for continuous casting billets can achieve the goal of good forming of the main plate 51, the tooth plate 52, and the side wing 53 of the single-tooth track plate 5, reducing the dependence on billet size, allowing for the production of larger single-tooth track plate 5 using smaller billets, which has a good energy-saving and cost saving effects.
The present disclosure further provides a hot rolling method for single-tooth track plate 5, utilizing the above-mentioned single-tooth track plate cogging-down pass, which includes the following steps:
Cog down the rectangular continuous casting billet through the first cogging hole 1 and the second cogging hole 3 of the cogging mill, the billet after cogging down is then rough rolled and finish rolled to obtain a single-tooth track plate 5. The design of the side wing 53 made from the billet and the second center column 32 of the second cogging hole 3 solves the shortcomings of the side wing 53 being prone to overfilling and difficult to adjust in the existing technology. The design of the tool plate 52 made from a portion of the billet corresponding to the left flat limb 33 of the second cogging hole 3 overcomes the defects of insufficient metal of the tooth plate 52 and poor molding in the existing technology.
From the above description, it can be seen that the present disclosure achieves the following technical effects:

The rectangular continuous casting billet is cogged down through the first cogging hole 1 and second cogging hole 3 of the cogging mill, and the billet after cogging down is then rough rolled and finish rolled to obtain the single-tooth track plate 5. The present disclosure significantly reduces the dependence on billet size, allowing for the production of larger single-tooth track plates 5 using smaller billets, which has a good energy-saving and consumption reducing effect. The unique design of the first cogging hole 1 and second cogging hole 3 eliminate the shortcomings of low efficiency, poor safety, and poor dimensional accuracy caused by the instability of billets, and realizes the efficient production of single-tooth track plate 5.
