Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgical equipment, and in particular to an adaptive control device for a secondary cooling nozzle at an edge of a continuous casting machine and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Corner transverse cracks of ingots have always been a quality problem that has troubled domestic and foreign steel mills. Once a corner transverse crack occurs, it will lead to an increase in the amount of ingot cleaning and a decrease in the yield of steel products. At present, there are generally two technological ideas for solving corner transverse cracks of slabs: one is to control the surface temperature of the slab during bending and straightening by "hot running" or "cold running" to avoid the high temperature brittle range of steel; the other is to control the surface microstructure of the slab to form a layer of organization with strong crack resistance, which is not easy to crack, but these two technologies are not very mature.

[0003] In the early stage, some enterprises conducted a series of tests based on the "cold line" control idea, that is, by adding nozzles to the narrow surface of the billet, the cooling efficiency of the narrow surface was accelerated. The results showed that this method can indeed effectively reduce the occurrence of transverse cracks at the corners of the slab. However, in actual production, due to the continuous change of the billet width, the distance between the nozzle and the narrow surface of the billet will change when the nozzle is fixed, resulting in poor cooling effect, which will increase the probability of cracks to a certain extent. It is precisely for this reason that the narrow surface cooling technology of the billet has not been able to break through. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an adaptive control device and control method for the secondary cooling nozzle at the edge of the continuous casting machine to achieve adaptive control of the nozzle distance and angle under the condition of billet width changes, ensure good narrow surface cooling effect, thereby reducing the occurrence of transverse and longitudinal cracks and improving the quality of billet products.

[0004] A Chinese patent (publication date: December 21, 2011, publication number: CN102284687A) discloses an automatic cleaning and maintenance method for continuous casting secondary cooling nozzles. When the system reaches the cleaning condition, the field controller sends a start signal to each electromagnetic distributor, and the electromagnetic valves inside the electromagnetic distributor are started in sequence. When the electromagnetic valve corresponding to a group of nozzles is started, compressed air enters the compressed air control pipeline on the upper part of the nozzle, and the compressed air control pipeline is exhausted. The piston moves upward to lift the guide core, and the atomizing gas is cut off at the same time. , the distance between the lower part of the guide core and the isolation plate is pulled to 3mm, and the pressurized water flow instantly washes away the impurities. This process lasts for 2-5 seconds; after cleaning, the solenoid valve is closed, and compressed air enters the compressed air control pipeline. The compressed air control pipeline is exhausted, and the piston moves down to press the lower part of the guide core against the isolation plate, and the nozzle enters the normal atomization state. The advantage is that it solves the serious blockage problem of the secondary cooling nozzle and improves the cooling effect of the casting. At the same time, the nozzle spray characteristic parameters meet the process requirements, but the device is only used for cleaning and maintenance of the secondary cooling nozzle.

[0005] A Chinese patent (publication date: January 4, 2012, publication number: CN102303107A) discloses a water flow density measurement system for a secondary cooling nozzle of a slab continuous casting machine, which at least includes a nozzle moving mechanism, a nozzle, a signal conditioner, a computer data acquisition and analysis unit, a water collector and a sensor moving mechanism. The water collector is fixed on the sensor moving mechanism, and the water collector is driven to move to a detection position by the sensor moving mechanism; the nozzle is fixed on the nozzle moving mechanism, the nozzle is downward, and the nozzle is moved to the top of the water collector by the nozzle moving mechanism, and the nozzle sprays water. The liquid level sensor in the water collector gives the density of water spraying in different spaces, and the signal is amplified and processed by the signal conditioner and then output to the computer data acquisition and analysis unit to give a three-dimensional water spray density distribution map. It has accurate measurement, short measurement time and low measurement cost, but the system is mainly used to perform physical tests on nozzle characteristics and cannot be used in production sites.

[0006] A Chinese patent (publication date: May 28, 2008, publication number: CN101187618A) discloses a method for arranging secondary cooling nozzles for a straight arc slab continuous casting machine, wherein the arrangement is as follows: three secondary cooling nozzles are arranged in the width direction of the curved section and the arc section of the continuous casting machine, the secondary cooling nozzles are arranged symmetrically with respect to the width center of the slab, and the nozzle interval is 600mm to 900mm; two secondary cooling nozzles are arranged in the width direction of the straightening section of the continuous casting machine, the nozzles are arranged symmetrically with respect to the width center of the slab, and the secondary cooling nozzle interval is 400mm to 600mm. The secondary cooling nozzles are ordinary continuous casting aerosol nozzles, and the spray angle is 90° to 130°. The advantages of this method are that the excessive stress caused by uneven temperature across the width of the casting is effectively improved, the surface quality of the casting is improved, and the method has wide applicability. However, this arrangement method cannot meet the demand for cooling the narrow surface of the slab. Summary of the invention
