[0034] In practical applications, the specific process is as follows:

[0035] Step 101: grinding of the roller is completed on a grinding machine.

[0036] Step 102: The unmanned crane lifts the ground roll from the grinding machine to the roll stand for roll matching.

[0037] Step 103: Determine whether the roller being hoisted is an upper roller according to the work order of the unmanned vehicle system, and confirm whether the roller is an upper roller. If the roller is an upper roller, execute step 104; if the roller is a lower roller, execute step 114.

[0038] Step 104, continue to execute the action of placing the lower roller of the unmanned vehicle.

[0039] Step 105: determine whether the roller has reached the deceleration position according to the on-site proximity switch signal, and if the roller has reached the deceleration position, execute step 107. If the roller has not reached the deceleration position, execute step 106.

[0040] Step 106: The unmanned vehicle continues to perform the roller lowering action. After reaching the deceleration position, step 107 will be executed.

[0041] Step 107: The roller reaches the deceleration position, and the unmanned crane decelerates the roller release action.

[0042] Step 108, the roller continues to descend to the shaft head position on the transmission side of the lower roller.

[0043] Step 109, judging whether the shaft head on the driving side of the lower roller is in place according to the on-site travel switch signal, if it is in place, executing step 111, if not, executing step 110.

[0044] Step 110, the unmanned vehicle system determines that the Y-axis position is offset, and adjusts to execute step 111 after receiving the in-position signal of the on-site travel switch.

[0045] Step 111, lifting the rolling roller to the designated lowering position of the shaft head on the lower roller transmission side.

[0046] Step 112: The unmanned vehicle system continues to execute the action of placing the rollers onto the roller rack.

[0047] Step 113, the lower roller placing action is completed.

[0048] Step 114, continue to execute the action of placing the upper roller of the unmanned vehicle.

[0049] Step 115: determine whether the roller has reached the deceleration position according to the on-site proximity switch signal, and if the roller has reached the deceleration position, execute step 117. If the roller has not reached the deceleration position, execute step 116.

[0050] Step 116: The unmanned vehicle continues to perform the roller lowering action. After reaching the deceleration position, step 117 will be executed.

[0051] Step 117: The roller reaches the deceleration position, and the unmanned crane roll matching action slows down.

[0052] Step 118, the roller continues to descend to the shaft head position on the upper roller transmission side.

[0053] Step 119, judging whether the shaft head on the upper roller driving side is in place according to the on-site travel switch signal, if it is in place, executing step 121, if not, executing step 120.

[0056] Step 122: The unmanned driving system continues to perform the roll matching action to the roll matching position above the lower roller.

[0057] Step 123, the roller matching action is completed.

[0058] The ET200 remote station mainly includes: a power module for powering the workstation; a digital input module for collecting switch signals of the on-site roll position; a 485 communication module for communication between the wireless transmission module and ET200; and a wireless data transmission module for data exchange between the ET200 remote station and the unmanned driving system.

[0059] like Figure 2 The basic base unit 3 is the basic base, which is enlarged according to the size of the roll so that the roll can be stacked on it. When the unmanned vehicle lifts the lower roll of the roll, it needs to be placed on the basic base unit 3 first. Since the roll bearing seat is the force-bearing unit of the roll touching the ground, a bearing seat base buffer pad unit 2 is added below it. The material is rubber material, and there are four of them, which respectively bear the two ends of the bearing seat. The size of the two at one end is slightly larger than the size of the bearing seat. The roll body positioning stop column and the upper roll anti-reversal unit 1 are used to assist the unmanned vehicle in controlling the swing value of the vehicle when it is moving on the X-axis when the unmanned vehicle is lifting the roll. When the roll is tilted when the unmanned vehicle places the roll downward, it helps guide the roll to the specified roll position. When the proximity switch 9 detects that the roll has dropped to this position during the roll matching process, the ET200 remote station receives an in-place signal, and the unmanned vehicle will slow down. When the shaft head on the roller transmission side reaches the limit switch 10, the Y-axis in-position signal will be triggered and fed back to the unmanned driving system through the ET200 remote station.

[0060] like Figure 3 When the roller is lifted downward by the crane, the transmission side faces the roller transmission side positioning unit, and the lower roller transmission shaft centering top plate 6 is used as the lower roller transmission side positioning point to correct the Y-axis deviation value when the roller is lifted by the unmanned crane. The lower roller body positioning unit 4 is used to correct the X-axis deviation value when the roller is lifted by the unmanned crane. The lower roller transmission side head frame and roller body auxiliary positioning unit 5 is used to assist the unmanned crane in correcting the X-axis deviation value when lifting the lower roller.

[0061] After the lower roll is lifted, since the bearing seat has its own roll aligning pins when the upper and lower rolls are aligned, in order to facilitate the unmanned crane to align the rolls and reduce the deviation of the unmanned crane lifting, the upper roll drive shaft is aligned with the top plate 7 as the upper roll drive side locating point to correct the Y-axis deviation value when the unmanned crane lifts the rolls.

[0062] like Figure 4 Roller shaking often occurs during the roll matching process. The auxiliary anti-sway column 8 of the roll body is used to detect whether the roll hoisted by the unmanned crane has reached the specified position and to locate the auxiliary guiding device.

[0063] like Figure 5 , is a roll matching effect diagram of the roll matching device with an automatic crane. The diagram shows an example of the roll matching device after the roll matching is completed at three different angles. Figure 5 correspond Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The device is in a state with rollers.

[0064] The present invention combines the requirements of the roll matching process and the accuracy requirements of the unmanned crane, designs a reasonable roll matching device structure and arranges the sensor position, so as to ensure that each detection signal is stable and reliable when the unmanned crane is lifting the rolls to match the rolling mill rolls, assists the unmanned crane to complete the roll matching operation smoothly, promotes the continuous upgrading of the application in the field of unmanned crane system technology, and successfully applies the unmanned crane system to the control field of the roll matching system in the grinding roll shop, expands the efficiency optimization of the unmanned crane collaboration, reduces the roll matching time, reduces the error rate, and improves the production efficiency.

[0065] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
