Gu Bingfei, an equipment inspector from the equipment department of the cold rolling mill at Handan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., has successfully obtained a national invention patent for the acid-rolling line flying shear repair platform. This innovation marked a significant breakthrough in the annual maintenance of the acid-rolling line during the "May 1st" overhaul. The traditional flying shear inspection process, once dominated by foreign technology and considered a complex and high-risk task, has now been simplified into a routine operation. The new method allows for easier replacement and adjustment of the cutting blades, significantly reducing the time and effort required while improving reliability and efficiency. The annual economic benefits of this innovation are estimated to be around 1.4 million yuan.
Flying shears play a crucial role in the pickling and cold rolling combined production line. They are responsible for cutting the steel strips online, enabling the products to be properly wound. The normal operation of the flying shears directly affects the overall performance of the production line. Due to its critical importance and the secrecy surrounding foreign technology, the flying shear is one of the few key pieces of equipment that has traditionally been fully supported by foreign suppliers.
The weak point of the flying shear lies in the cutting edge. Because the blade is arranged in an arc on the drum, the shearing process starts from the center and gradually moves outward. The initial gap between the cutting edges is only 0.03 mm, making it extremely challenging to accurately locate the contact point and measure the clearance when replacing or adjusting the blades. This has long been a technical bottleneck.
Gu Bingfei's invention of the flying shear inspection platform and the corresponding adjustment process has addressed these challenges. It enables precise control over the bite point position and accurate measurement along the cutting edge. It also eliminates the impact of gear backlash between the upper and lower drums on the blade clearance. Furthermore, the system makes it easier to adjust and replace the blades, effectively preventing damage caused by misalignment. This not only reduces the physical workload but also improves work efficiency and shortens maintenance time. Overall, this innovation represents a major step forward in the domesticization of critical steel production technologies.
