A hydraulically controlled backing roller includes a mandrel, two cover plates which are installed at two ends of the mandrel through screws respectively, and two screwdown gears which are installed at two end portions of the mandrel respectively. The two screwdown gears are engaged with an output rack of a screwdown hydraulic cylinder, multiple saddle ring sets are sleeved on the mandrel at equal intervals, a saddle ring of each of the saddle ring sets is fixed with a frame through a fan-shaped plate, a backing bearing is provided between two adjacent saddle ring sets; an inner eccentric ring of the each of the saddle ring sets is driven to rotate by hydraulic driving, so that the mandrel has a deflection deformation, and the deflection deformation is transmitted to other adjacent rollers through the backing bearing.

A rolling mill of four-high or more is provided that includes: measurement apparatuses that adopt any one roll as a reference roll, and measure at least rolling direction forces acting on roll chocks on a work side and roll chocks on a drive side of each roll other than a backup roll; pressing apparatuses that press the roll chocks in the rolling direction; driving apparatuses that move the roll chocks in the rolling direction; and a position control unit that fixes a rolling direction position of the roll chocks of the reference roll as a reference position, and drives the driving apparatuses to control the positions in the rolling direction of the roll chocks based on a rolling direction force difference so that the rolling direction force difference of each roll is a value within an allowable range.

A lamination lubricant dispensing unit for lubricating a working roller of a rolling mill for laminating a sheet of alkali metal or alloy thereof into a film. The lubricant dispensing unit has a dispensing unit body defining a laterally extending wall; first and second side walls extending forwardly from the laterally extending wall; and a ledge connected to lower ends of the walls. The ledge extends forwardly from the laterally extending wall and extending between the side walls. The ledge and the walls define a recess having an opened side. The ledge has a front edge for abutting a lamination surface of the working roller. At least a portion of the ledge is an angled portion extending upward and rearward from the front edge toward the laterally extending wall. The dispensing unit body defines at least one lubricant passage having an outlet defined in the laterally extending wall.

A working roller for a rolling mill for laminating a sheet of alkali metal or alloy thereof into a film is disclosed. The working roller has a cylindrical center portion defining a central axis, the center portion having an outer surface defining a lamination surface; and first and second frustoconical portions extending from first and second ends of the center portion respectively. When the central axis is straight, an angle between the outer surface of the center portion and an outer surface of each of the first and second frustoconical portions is less than 0.05 degrees. A width of the center portion is greater than a width of each of the first and second frustoconical portions. The width of the center portion is less than a sum of the widths of the first and second portions. A rolling mill having two such working rollers is also disclosed. A laminated sheet of alkali metal or alloy thereof obtained by the working roller of the present technology is also disclosed.

A milling apparatus includes a plurality of milling roller units each including one milling roller that is made contact with, by pressing, one surface of one of a plurality of differently angled plate parts of an elongated metal milling material and another milling roller that is made contact with another surface of the plate part by pressing. At least one of the milling roller units mills a plate part different from a plate part milled by any other milling roller unit. A plurality of the milling roller units configured to mill an identical plate part are installed in a longitudinal direction of the plate part. The one milling roller and the other milling roller of at least one of the milling roller units are movable in axial directions thereof.
