Conventional technology Rolling mills for steel plates include hot rough rolling mills, finishing rolling mills, temper rolling mills, etc. Hot rolling mills usually include double rolling mills and quadruple rolling mills, and cold rolling mills. A 4-layer rolling mill and a 6-layer rolling mill are used for the inter-rolling mill, and a 4-layer rolling mill is used for the temper rolling mill, and both the hot rolling line and the cold rolling line are It consists of multiple machines installed. Further, a normal rolling mill is used for temper rolling, and a normal rolling mill is also used for scale breaking. However, equipment costs for such rolling mill equipment are high.

As conventional hard reduction rolling mills, in addition to the above-mentioned six-layer rolling mill, multi-layer mills and planetary mills are known. The 6-layer rolling mill was developed as a high-reduction rolling mill with a high degree of shape controllability.
The multiplex type is commonly used as a rolling mill for silicon steel plates and stainless steel plates, and a planetary mill is constructed by arranging a large number of small diameter working rolls in a planetary pattern around upper and lower reinforcing rolls.

Problems with the prior art However, in the conventional hard reduction rolling mills such as the six-layer, multiple-layer, and planetary mills, the hard reduction characteristics of the six-layer rolling mill are only about 50%, and the structure of the multiple-layer rolling mill is The drawback is that it is technically complex and the roll changeover process takes time. In addition, in the case of a planetary mill, compared to a normal mill, the edge shape is more likely to form V-grooves of several millimeters, which causes edge cracks to occur more frequently, and the productivity is low, so it is only suitable for rolling small quantities of a wide variety of products. Furthermore, the vibration and noise during rolling are greater than other mills, and special consideration must be taken to prevent vibrations.The mechanism is complex, requiring advanced technology for operation and maintenance, and it takes time to rearrange and adjust the rolls. It has disadvantages such as being expensive. Therefore,
It has been extremely difficult to simplify rolling mill equipment using conventional high reduction rolling mills.

Function: In the case of the so-called leveler mill of the present invention, rolling is performed while undergoing plastic bending at each roll bit part created between the upper and lower work rolls, reducing rolling force, and since it has a leveling structure, Compared to 6-layer rolling mills, etc., this rolling mill has a compact rolling area, yet has the characteristic of being able to roll more.
The load per pair of rolls is reduced, and conversely, it means that the pressure can be reduced by that much, 90% in one pass.
It becomes possible to perform rolling at a higher reduction rate. Furthermore, the surface quality of the plate edge is good, and if the load reduction per pass is taken advantage of, heat scratches can be reduced, the speed of the rolling mill can be increased, and there are no particular problems with the rolling rate.
In addition, when this rolling mill is used to roll, for example, a hot-rolled black-skinned coil, the surface scale undergoes repeated plastic deformation due to bending and tensile rolling due to the leveling effect, so it can also be used as a scale-breaking mill to improve descaling performance. There are advantages that can be achieved.

In the case of the different circumferential speed rolling mill shown in FIG. 1, the rolling reduction rate is determined from the rolling reduction distribution at eight rolling locations. When the rolling reduction ratio is ri, the rolling reduction ratios at the eight rolling locations are r1 to r8, and when the plate thickness is hi, the plate thickness at each rolling location is h1 to h8. Furthermore, if the speed of each roll during rolling at different circumferential speeds in which the speed of adjacent rolls increases sequentially is Vi, the speed of the rolls at each rolling location is V 1 <V 2 <V 3 <V 4 <V 5 ...<V 8 Therefore, the slip area that can be rolled is 1.0<V 2 /V 1 , V 3 /V 2 , V 4 /V 3 , V 5 /V 4 , V 6 /V 5 , V 7
The speed of each work roll is controlled so as to satisfy the following conditions: /V 6 , V 8 /V 7 <1.4. Therefore, if the base material thickness is H 0 and the entrance plate speed is V 0 , the relationship between plate thickness and roll speed is as follows.
H 0 V 0 ≧h i+1 V i+1 (i=1 to 7).
