DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) With reference to the accompanying drawings, the cold state metal plate strip surface treatment system and a treatment method thereof according to the present invention will be described in detail thereinafter.

Embodiments

(6) As mentioned above, the continuous descaling processing solution is shown in FIGS. 1-3. To guarantee the jet-flow continuous descaling procedure disclosed by the application with good effects, the following measurements are mainly taken:

(7) 1) the metal plate strip 8 in the jet-flow descaling unit 6 should keep in a certain tension force;

(8) 2) the side bending rollers 51, 52 disposed in the jet-flow descaling unit 6, owing to their own small roller diameter and the height difference of the roller surfaces, ensure that the metal plate strip 8 has a certain wrap angle formed on the roller surface, thereby the attachments on one side of the metal plate strip 8 forms cracks, which is good to the jet-flow descaling;

(9) 3) there is disposed with corresponding jet-flow descaling units 31, 32 in the area of both side bending rollers 51, 52, which is used for jet-flow descaling a single side surface of the bended and tensed metal plate strip 8;

(10) 4) the jet-flow rinsing units 41, 42 are disposed immediately after each of the jet-flow descaling units 31, 32, which are used for rinsing the surfaces of the descaled metal plate strip 8, and ensure that there is no remarkable hard remainders thereon.

(11) Thereinafter, the application takes the continuous descaling operation of cold state steel plate as examples:

(12) Steel slabs are coiled after being separately rolled by hot roller, and they need to be continuously descaled before entering cold roller. At this time, the steel coils 8 have been continuously end-to-end welded via the equipments disposed before the production line, that is, the steel coils 8 had become a continuous steel plate 8 with an unlimited length before entering the bending roller set 1. The temperature of the steel plate 8 is not more than 200 C., and after entering the tensioning roller set 1, the strip 8 keeps in a tension state under the tension force of the tensioning roller set 1.

(13) In this way, the strip 8, under the effects of the stabilizing roller 21 and the side bending roller 51, are bended and tensed on the upper surface of the side bending roller 51. At this time, the upper surface of the strip 8, under the compound effects of tensioning and bending, cracks slightly, when the mixing jet-flow nozzle 31, driven by the high-pressure water medium mixing with garnets, sprays at the surface of the strip 8, so as to eliminate scales on the upper surface thereof. The descaled strip 8 is, immediately, rinsed by pure water from the rinsing nozzle 41, so as to completely eliminate the scales on the upper surface of the strip 8. In turn, the descaled strip 8 passes through another side bending roller 52, and the lower surface thereof is descaled in the same way.

(14) As a result, after passing through the jet-flow descaling unit 6, both the upper and lower surfaces of the strip 8 are descaled. Then the descaled strip 8 passes through the dry blowing unit 7 which uses dry compressed air with a pressure of 0.5 Mpa to synchronously blow and dry both surfaces of the strip 8, such that the descaled surfaces of the strip 8 are dried, which ensures that the strip 8, while undergoing the following procedures, for example, rolling, coating or the like, would not affect the effects thereof.

(15) With reference to FIG. 1, in the embodiment 1, the strip 8 is tensed by two S-shape roller sets disposed in front and at back thereof, and the strip 8 is hold at the actual height in conformity with the procedure height via two stabilizing roller units 21 and 22 provided within the tensioning unit 1; at the same time, both surfaces of the strip 8 are descaled synchronously by using two sub-units 61, 62 disposed tandem in the jet-flow descaling unit 6, then the descaled strip 8 enters the dry blowing unit 7 to dry the surfaces thereof.

(16) With reference to FIG. 2, in the embodiment 2, the strip 8 is tensed by two three-roller tensioning units disposed in front and at back thereof, and the strip 8 is hold at the actual height in conformity with the procedure height via two stabilizing roller units 21 and 22 provided within the tensioning unit 1; at the same time, both surfaces of the strip 8 are descaled synchronously by using the jet-flow descaling unit 6, and the descaled strip 8 enters the dry blowing unit 7 to dry the surfaces thereof.

(17) With reference to FIG. 3, in the embodiment 3, the strip 8 has its tension force level maintained by a uncoiler unit and a coiler unit disposed in front and at back thereof respectively, and both surfaces of the strip 8 are descaled synchronously by using the jet-flow descaling unit 6, then the descaled strip 8 enters the dry blowing unit 7 to dry the surfaces thereof. In this arrangement, some other devices 12 can be disposed before the jet-flow descaling unit 6, which can include head- and tail shears, welders, loops and the like, and in the meantime, other processing devices 13 can be disposed after the dry blowing unit 7, which can include loops, shears, rollers, coater sets, and the like.

(18) Cold rolling metal plate strip 8 (metal plate strip of a temperature not more than 200 C., e.g. steel plate, aluminum plate, titanium plate, and the like) runs along a roller table to the entry of the tensioning unit 1, and after passing through the entry roller sets of the tensioning roller set 1, it enters the entry stabilizing roller 21, under the stabilizing effects of which, the metal plate strip 8 is hold at a horizontal height as the requirement of the procedure. In turn, the metal plate strip 8 enters the jet-flow descaling unit 6 (that consists of a plurality of subunits 61, 62 etc. with the same device arrangement and functions). After passing through the stabilizing roller 21, the metal plate strip 8, sequentially, enters the first subunit 61 of the jet-flow descaling unit 6, where the metal plate strip 8 needs, first, to pass through the unilateral bending roller 51. There is a certain difference between the upper surface height of the unilateral bending roller 51 and that of the stabilizing roller 21, which directly determines a roller surface wrap angle of the metal plate strip 8 on the unilateral bending roller 51. Meanwhile, the diameter of the unilateral bending roller 51 determines the curvature radius of the metal plate strip 8 when it bends. In this way, after the metal plate strip 8 is hold with a tension force necessary to the procedure, one side surface thereof is bound to become tensed remarkably under the pressing effects of the unilateral bending roller 51, which causes slight cracking and peeling-off of the surface attachments at this side (for example, scales). At this time, the jet-flow descaling nozzle 31 disposed at this side uses high-pressure jet-flow to spray the plate surface on this side so as to eliminate the scales easily. The descaled surface of the metal plate strip 8 is rinsed via the rinsing nozzle 41 disposed at this side in order to remove the surface remainders, such that it is ensured that no attachment exists on this side thereof.

(19) The metal plate strip 8 treated in this way, enters, in turn, another unilateral bending roller 52 of the subunit 61, which is disposed in a just contrary way to the unilateral bending roller 51, and as such, there is a height difference between the roller surface of the unilateral bending roller 52 and that of the stabilizing roller 21. This difference value a2 determines directly a roller surface wrap angle of the metal plate strip 8 on the unilateral bending roller 52. Meanwhile, the diameter of the unilateral bending roller 52 determines the curvature radius of the metal plate strip 8 when it bends. In this way, after the metal plate strip 8 is hold with a tension force necessary to the procedure, one side surface thereof is bound to become tensed remarkably under the pressing effects of the unilateral bending roller 52, which causes slight cracking and peeling-off of the surface attachments at this side (for example, scales). At this time, the jet-flow descaling nozzle 32 disposed at this side, uses high-pressure jet-flow to spray the plate surface on this side so as to eliminate the scales easily. The descaled surface of the metal plate strip 8 is rinsed via the rinsing nozzle 42 disposed at this side in order to remove the surface remainders, such that it is ensured that no attachment exists on this side thereof.

(20) In this way, after the metal plate strip 8 passes completely through two unilateral bending rollers 51, 52, the corresponding jet-flow descaling nozzles 31, 32, and the rinsing nozzles 41, 42, the scales on the upper and lower surfaces of the metal plate strip 8 are removed synchronously.

(21) Also, the jet-flow descaling unit 6 is typically provided tandem with another descaling subunit 62 so as to contribute to more rapid descaling and better effect thereof for the metal plate strip 8.

(22) The tensioning way of the tensioning unit 1 includes, typically, S-roller tensioning, three-roller tensioning (that is, a three-roller tensioning unit is provided respectively at the entry and exit of the metal plate strip 8), and uncoiler-coiler direct tensioning; the tension force per unit provided by the tensioning unit 1 on the metal plate strip 8 is typically 0.1 Mpa100 Mpa.

(23) The roller diameter of the unilateral bending roller 51, 52 varies depending on the specifications of the metal plate strip 8, and the outer roller diameter thereof is typically 50 mm500 mm.

(24) The jet-flow descaling nozzle units 31, 32 are high-pressure jet-flow nozzles, which typically include at least one kind of jet medium, and the medium at least includes water (H.sub.2O) and hard sandy particles.

(25) The hard sandy particles sprayed by the jet-flow descaling nozzle units 31, 32, in detail, can include metal processing shots, such as natural corundum grinding materials (e.g. brown corundum, white corundum, monocrystalline corundum), carbide grinding materials (e.g. black silicon carbide, green silicon carbide, boron carbide), steel shots, cut wire shots and the like.

(26) The water standard of the water medium sprayed from the jet-flow descaling nozzles 31, 32, is industrial clean circulating water with a normal temperature, which, particularly, can be specified in detail: the temperature thereof is less than 100 C., and PH thereof is 6.5-9.

(27) The particle size and jet pressure of the jet-flow descaling nozzle units 31, 32 varies slightly depending on the jet objects, where the jet pressure of the water medium is typically 5 Mpa80 Mpa, and the size of the hard sandy particles is typically 10 meshes120 meshes.

(28) The jet medium of the rinsing nozzles 41, 42 is typically a single-medium, water, which should meet the standards of clean circulating water of the factory, and has a temperature of less than 100 C., PH of 6.59, and a jet pressure level of typically 0.1 Mpa5 Mpa.

(29) The jet medium of the compressed air jet unit 7 is single compressed air, which, typically, is dried compressed air, and has a pressure of 0.01 Mpa-10 Mpa.

(30) As mentioned above, the detailed embodiments of the present invention are described by means of detailed examples, but it should be understood that the detailed description is not intended to limit the principles and scopes of the present invention. The present invention can be adapted to the continuous descaling not only for metal plate strips, but also for metal bars, metal tubes, and metal rods. Various modifications by the skilled after reading the specification, should fall into the protection scope of the present invention.

(31) The cold state metal plate strip surface treatment system and the treatment method thereof according to the present invention, can be used for replacing the prior cold state continuous descaling pickling sets for metal plate strip, to meet the requirements of the rapidness and continuousness of modern cold-state metal plate strip, without affecting the original productivity of the production line. The present invention not only performs the synchronous and continuous descaling for both obverse and reverse surfaces of the metal plate strips, but also keeps both surfaces of the descaled metal plates dry by using compressed air to blow the surfaces thereof, so as to meet the requirements for the plate surfaces in the following procedure. The present invention has promising application prospect in the field of cold rolling production.
