DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined application purposes, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects according to the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-5The embodiment provides a roller control method suitable for a wide and flat metal profile straightening device, which comprises a straightening mechanism and a detection mechanism. The straightening mechanism comprises a fixed frame 1 and a plurality of film frame assemblies installed on the top surface of the fixed frame 1. Any film frame assembly comprises a straightening assembly 23 and a flattening assembly 24. The straightening assembly 23 abuts against the two side walls of the profile, the flattening assembly 24 abuts against the top surface and the bottom surface of the profile, the adjusting end of the adjusting assembly and the flattening end of the flattening assembly 24 form a rectangular straightening opening, the adjusting assembly abuts against the two side walls of the wide and flat metal profile, the flattening assembly 24 abuts against the top surface and the bottom surface of the profile, and the plurality of straightening openings are staggered. The detection mechanism is installed at the feeding end of the straightening mechanism, detects the bending degree of the profile and is in communication connection with the straightening mechanism. When the wide and flat profile is straightened, the flattening assembly 24 abuts against the upper and lower surfaces of the wide and flat profile, so that the overall size of the profile does not change when the profile is adjusted by the straightening assembly 23 during the straightening process. Meanwhile, the detection result of the detection mechanism is processed, and the straightening of the profile is completed by adjusting the center line offset of the straightening opening formed by the straightening assembly 23 and the flattening assembly 24.
[0037] During the straightening of some wide and flat profiles, especially the wide and flat profiles with a large width-thickness ratio, the size of the straightened profile is prone to change. For example, when the straightening rollers are arranged on the left and right sides, the profile is easily squeezed left and right during the straightening process, so that the thickness of the profile changes. Even the profile is too thin to be deflected during the straightening process, so that the straightening fails. Meanwhile, the profile is not only bent on the side edge, but also bent in the thickness direction, which also needs to be straightened. However, the upper and lower straightening rollers are prone to cause the profile to deviate during the straightening process, so that the wide and flat profile also fails to be straightened.
[0038] In order to solve the above problems, the flattening assembly 24 is used to limit the deflection during the straightening or the bending in the thickness direction, and the straightening assembly 23 is used to complete the straightening of the profile, so that the problem that the existing straightening machine cannot well straighten the wide and flat profile is avoided. Meanwhile, the straightening of the wide and flat profile can be more smoothly completed through the arrangement of the straightening assembly 23 and the flattening assembly 24.
[0039] The straightening of the wide and flat profile comprises the following steps:
[0040] S1: sampling, detecting a sample of the wide and flat metal profile to obtain the deflection value of the wide and flat metal profile when the wide and flat metal profile is purely elastically bent;
[0041] S2: presetting the deviation value of the straightening opening, taking the center distance between the first straightening opening and the second straightening opening as d, and taking the radius of the straightening wheel 232 as R.
[0042] S3: detecting, detecting the bending rate of the wide flat metal profile and recording the maximum bending rate as the original bending rate;
[0043] S4: establishing a deviation value model, bringing the data of S1-S3 into the model for calculation to obtain the i+1 straightening port;
[0044] S5: adjusting, adjusting the position of the straightening port according to the deviation value;
[0045] S6: straightening, straightening the profile and judging whether the straightening is completed;
[0046] S7: judging whether the straightening is completed, if yes, ending the straightening and being 0, if no, executing the next step, wherein is the relative springback rate under the i roller, is the relative bending rate of the i straightening roller 232 and the i+1 straightening roller 232, and is the residual curvature;
[0047] S8: being the original curvature of the next re-bending;
[0048] S9: re-calculating the deviation value of the next straightening port;
[0049] S10: repeating steps S5-S9 until the straightening is completed.
[0050] However, due to various reasons, the profile may be bent during production, for example, thermal stress generated during cutting or processing, such as local heating during welding, cutting, etc., which may cause local thermal expansion or thermal contraction, deformation and bending, or during transportation, storage, stacking, etc., the plate is subjected to external force, which is easy to cause surface buckling, bending deformation, therefore, the stress, surface buckling and bending deformation of each profile are different, in order to better straighten the profile, by adjusting the adjusting roller with different convexity and concavity, applying friction and the deformation ability of the roller to bend and adjust the plate, and eliminate the bending of the profile, since the condition of each profile is not the same, that is, the same straightening scheme is used to straighten each profile, and the error rate of the profile is large, therefore, in order to accurately complete the straightening of the profile and reduce the straightening time, the roller is controlled to accurately straighten, during straightening, through the execution of steps S1-S10, different profiles can be adjusted after the adjustment value of the next adjustment after the calculation of the deviation value model during straightening, so that each profile can be accurately adjusted to complete the straightening process, avoiding the situation that a large amount of time is spent or a large error rate occurs during straightening due to the different conditions of each profile.
[0051] In order to let the straightening mouth can be according to the deviation value model calculated value of accurate adjustment, in the embodiment, the straightening mechanism also includes support frame 21 and fixed frame 22, support frame 21 is installed on the top surface of the fixed frame 1, the fixed frame 22 is installed on the top of support frame 21, straightening assembly 23 includes two first motor 231 and two straightening wheel 232, two first motor 231 are respectively installed on the opposite two side walls of fixed frame 22 and connected with two straightening wheel 232, flat assembly 24 includes two flat wheel 241 and two second motor 242, two second motor 242 are respectively installed on the top surface and bottom surface of fixed frame 22 and connected with two flat wheel 241, two straightening wheel 232 and two flat wheel 241 form straightening mouth, first motor 231 and second motor 242 are in communication connection with detection mechanism, when straightening, the position of straightening wheel 232 and flat wheel 241 is controlled by two motors, to complete the accurate control of the position of straightening mouth, reduce the situation that straightening effect is poor due to the deviation of straightening mouth, and then improve the straightening effect, reduce the number of straightening.
[0052] In order to ensure that the straightening mouth of the film rack assembly is not affected by other factors when offsetting, in an embodiment, the bottom of the support frame 21 is also provided with a plurality of positioning members 3, the top surface of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, the plurality of positioning members 3 are installed on the bottom of the support frame 21 in a rectangular array and one end is located in the positioning hole, in order to ensure that the center of the straightening mouth is consistent with the preset value when offsetting in the initial stage, therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the film rack assembly is on the same axis during installation, avoid the deviation of the straightening mouth axis in the initial stage due to the deviation of the position of the film rack assembly itself, so that the straightening mouth can reach the preset position when adjusting according to the deviation value, when installing the film rack assembly, first control the installation position of the film rack assembly itself by the positioning member 3, ensure that each film rack assembly does not deviate during installation.
[0053] In order to better position, in an embodiment, the positioning member 3 comprises a positioning seat 31 and a positioning ball 32, the positioning seat 31 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 21, the bottom surface of the positioning seat 31 is provided with a sliding groove, and the positioning ball 32 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove. The positioning ball 32 is in abutment with the positioning hole when the support frame 21 is installed. When positioning, the positioning ball 32 is first brought into abutment with the positioning hole, and the positioning seat 31 is pressed downward, so that the positioning ball 32 is extruded and slides into the sliding groove through the positioning hole. When the positioning ball 32 slides in the sliding groove and contacts the inner bottom surface of the positioning seat 31, the positioning ball 32 will leak out a small part to maintain the positioning effect. After the positioning seat 31 is fixed, the position of the support frame 21 is determined. The positioning effect of the support frame 21 is ensured by arranging the support frame 21 in a rectangular array through multiple positioning members 3. The positioning of the film frame assembly itself is ensured, so that the center line of each film frame assembly is on the same axis, and the error caused by the inaccurate positioning of the film frame assembly itself is avoided when the straightening opening is offset.
[0054] Because the profile will bend at different positions due to various reasons, and when straightening the profile, if the same deviation value of the straightening opening is used to complete the straightening process of the profile, it is likely that the bending degree of the profile at a certain position exceeds the preset deviation value, resulting in straightening failure. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the deviation value of the straightening opening to maintain the straightening process of the profile. However, during the straightening process, workers usually repeat the trial and measurement according to experience and estimation. This method not only has low efficiency, poor straightening accuracy and high labor intensity, but also affects the working performance of the part and cannot guarantee the quality.
[0055] In order to adjust the position of the straightening opening through the deviation value model to better straighten, the deviation value model is , , wherein is the relative total bending rate under the i-th straightening opening. The deviation value of the next straightening opening can be obtained by bringing the detected and sampled various data into the model.
[0056] In step S4, , wherein is the elastic limit bending moment of the wide flat metal profile when it is purely elastically bent, E is the elastic modulus of the straightened wide flat metal profile, J is the cross-sectional moment of inertia of the straightened wide flat metal profile, and t is the distance between two adjacent straightening openings.
[0057] In the above formula, , wherein b is the width of the straightened wide flat metal profile, h is the thickness of the straightened wide flat metal profile, is the yield strength of the wide flat metal profile, and these data can be obtained by detecting the sample of the wide flat metal profile.
[0058] In order to obtain the deviation value of the next straightening port, the straightened wide flat metal profile needs to be detected, and the original curvature of the profile can be detected by an optical detection method, which can measure the shape and curvature of the profile surface by a laser scanner.
[0059] In order to more accurately adjust the position of the straightening port, in step S5, the position of the straightening port is adjusted by the first motor 231, and the deviation value of the straightening port is adjusted by adjusting the position of the straightening assembly 23 by the motor. The movement of the motor controls the movement of the straightening wheel 232 is more accurate than manual control, which can ensure that the straightening port can be more accurate when moving according to the deviation value, reduce errors and improve precision.
[0060] In step S7, , the value of is obtained, so that the value of is gradually reduced each time the adjustment is made to complete the straightening process.
[0061] When straightening, the test results are as follows:
[0062]
[0063] From the above test, it can be seen that when the profile passes through the sixth straightening port, the straightening process is basically completed.
[0064] Therefore, after the straightening is completed by the last straightening port, the data of the profile is calculated or detected, and the data is brought into the deviation value model to obtain the deviation value data of the next straightening port. The process is repeated to complete the straightening process. By this way, the straightening of the profile is completed, different profiles can be straightened, the straightening efficiency and precision are improved, and the labor intensity of workers is reduced.
