Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cold rolling and relates to a method for obtaining plate shape control efficiency based on a digital twin of a cold rolling process. Background Art

[0002] Cold-rolled sheets and strips are widely used in industries such as automobile manufacturing, aviation, home appliances, and food packaging. Deeply processed, high-quality, and high-value-added strip products are increasingly favored by producers and consumers. However, these downstream industries have increasingly higher requirements for the geometric shape and dimensional accuracy of strip steel. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the calculation accuracy of cold-rolled plate shape.

[0003] Modern advanced cold rolling mills usually have a variety of plate shape adjustment methods, such as working roll bending, intermediate roll bending, and intermediate roll transverse movement. In actual production, it is necessary to comprehensively utilize various plate shape adjustment methods and achieve the goal of eliminating plate shape deviation through the mutual coordination of adjustment effects. The plate shape control model currently used in the field begins to quantitatively describe the performance of various plate shape adjustment methods with the control efficiency coefficient. As the basis of the multivariable optimal plate shape closed-loop feedback control algorithm, the control efficiency coefficient can comprehensively consider the control effect of a single actuator on the plate shape, describe the control characteristics of different actuators, and achieve high-precision control of the cold-rolled plate shape. The current methods for obtaining the control efficiency coefficient are mainly finite element method and data-driven algorithm. Since it is very difficult to obtain the changes in the thermal crown of the working roll online on site, the existing plate shape control efficiency coefficients obtained do not consider the influence of the thermal crown of the working roll, resulting in the obtained control efficiency coefficient not being consistent with the actual working conditions, affecting the control accuracy.

[0094] Step 2: Based on the parameters collected in step 1, a finite element model of the temperature field of the cold rolling work roll is established, and the transverse temperature distribution data of the work roll temperature field in the rolling stability stage is calculated. The specific modeling process is as follows;

[0095] Step 2.1: Establish a work roll geometric model based on the work roll size parameters collected in Table 1;

[0096] Step 2.2: Determine the material properties of the work roll temperature field model based on the collected roll material parameters;

[0097] According to the roll material parameters collected in Table 3, the material parameters in the finite element model of the work roll temperature field are set, and the material properties of the work roll are set to isotropic linear elastic material;

[0098] Step 2.3: Simplify the thermal boundary conditions of the work roll temperature field based on the parameters collected in step 1. Calculate the thermal boundary conditions based on the heat exchange during the rolling process and the emulsion property parameters, and apply the thermal boundary conditions to the work roll geometric model.

[0099] The working roll is divided into 38 zones along the axial direction according to the number of cooling nozzles and coverage width; Figure 1 The circumferential area division of the working roll is as follows: According to the coverage of the emulsion and the contact between the working roll, the strip and the intermediate roll, the working roll is divided into eight heat exchange areas along the circumference. Among them, area A is the direct contact area between the strip and the roll; areas B, D, F, and H are weak water cooling areas; areas C and G are strong water cooling areas; and area E is the direct contact area between the working roll and the intermediate roll.

[0100] Step 2.4: Use edge refinement to mesh the working roll geometry model, such as Figure 2 As shown;

[0101] Step 2.5: Set the solution conditions and establish the finite element model of the temperature field of the cold rolling work roll;

[0102] Step 2.6: Use the finite element model of the cold rolling work roll temperature field established in step 2.5 to calculate the temperature distribution change of the work roll during the rolling process;

[0103] Step 2.7: Use post-processing software to extract the transverse temperature distribution data of the work roll temperature field during the rolling stability stage in step 2.6;

[0104] Step 3: Verify the accuracy of the cold rolling work roll temperature field finite element model by comparing the temperature distribution data;

[0105] During the specific implementation, the transverse temperature distribution data is compared with the temperature distribution data measured on site within five minutes after the work roll is taken off the machine to verify the accuracy of the finite element model of the temperature field of the cold rolling work roll.

[0106] Figure 3 This is the temperature distribution result of the working roll taken with a thermal imager. Figure 4 This is a comparison chart of the measured values ​​and simulation results of the work roll temperature field. The error is within 0.8℃, the temperature distribution trend is in good agreement, and the accuracy of the finite element model of the cold rolling work roll temperature field is high.

[0107] Step 4: Use the transverse temperature distribution data obtained in step 2 as thermal load to realize the thermal-structural coupling of the work roll geometric model and the cold rolling work roll temperature field finite element model, and obtain the work roll thermal expansion results at the rolling stability stage; the work roll thermal expansion distribution results at different rolling stages are as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0108] Step 5: Based on the production process parameters, rolling mill dimensional parameters, and work roll thermal crown collected on-site in Step 1, a digital twin of the cold rolling process is established, and the cold rolling process is simulated and calculated;

[0109] The digital twin visualization interface is established as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the rolling force and strip thickness calculation results of the rolling process are extracted using Ls-Prepost post-processing software.

[0110] Step 6: Compare the on-site measured rolling force data and strip exit thickness data with the simulated data calculated in Step 5 to verify the accuracy of the cold rolling process digital twin. Specifically, the following steps are performed:

[0111] Step 6.1: Compare the measured rolling force, theoretically calculated rolling force, and measured strip exit center thickness with the rolling force and strip exit thickness calculated in step 5 to verify the accuracy of the cold rolling process digital twin.

[0112] The rolling force and strip exit thickness calculated in step 5 are compared with the measured rolling force, theoretically calculated values, and measured strip thickness data, as shown in Table 5. The simulated rolling force and strip exit thickness calculation results are in good agreement with the measured data, with maximum errors of 4.29% and 1.3%, respectively.

[0113] Table 5 Comparison of measured and calculated values ​​of strip thickness and rolling force

[0114]

[0115] Among them, h ACT is the measured value of strip steel outlet thickness, h FEM is the simulation result of strip steel outlet thickness; ε ACT is the measured value of the reduction rate, ε FEM is the simulation result of reduction rate; P ACT is the measured value of rolling force, P HILL is the theoretical calculated value of rolling force, P FEM is the rolling force simulation value; δ(P ACT , P FEM ) represents the error between the measured value and the simulated value of rolling force, δ(h ACT , h FEM ) represents the error between the measured value of the strip outlet thickness and the simulation calculation result.

[0116] Step 6.2: Compare the transverse thickness distribution data of the strip after rolling obtained by simulation calculation in step 5 with the actual measured strip thickness distribution data after rolling to further verify the accuracy of the digital twin of the cold rolling process.

[0117] The distribution of strip thickness along the width direction extracted from step 5 is compared with the actual strip thickness distribution measured on site to further verify the accuracy. The comparison results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the simulated calculated values ​​of the thickness distribution results are consistent with the measured values.

[0118] Step 7: According to the maximum range of rolling process parameter settings, the parameters of work roll bending force (WRB), intermediate roll bending force (IRB) and intermediate roll lateral displacement (IRS) are changed respectively. The parameter settings are shown in Table 6. Then, the distribution of strip outlet thickness and the relative length difference of strip longitudinal fiber strips under different plate shape control actuators is obtained through cold rolling process digital twin simulation calculation. The change law of strip outlet thickness with different plate shape control actuator setting values ​​is shown in the figure below. Figures 8a-8c As shown in Figure 9a-9c, the change law of the relative length difference of the longitudinal fiber strips of the strip with the setting value of the actuator for different plate shape control is shown.

[0120]

[0121] Step 8: Based on the definition of the flatness control efficiency coefficient and the data on the difference in length of the post-rolling strip steel fibers when different flatness control mechanisms are in place, the control efficiency coefficient curves for the work roll bending force, intermediate roll bending force, and intermediate roll lateral displacement are calculated. These curves are then transplanted into the on-site flatness control model to minimize the residual deviation in the outlet strip shape, fully utilizing the mill's flatness control capability and improving flatness control accuracy. Figure 10 shows the control efficiency coefficient curves for different flatness control mechanisms.

[0122] The flatness control efficiency coefficient is defined as the change in the relative length difference of the longitudinal fiber strips of the strip under the unit adjustment of the control efficiency actuator. It is represented by IU in the actual flatness control system. The expression of IU is as follows:

[0123]

[0124] Among them, y i is the coordinate of a certain position along the width of the strip, L(y i ) is the coordinate y i The length of the longitudinal fiber strip at is the average length of the longitudinal fiber strips in the strip.

[0125] Therefore, the expression of the plate shape control efficiency coefficient is:

[0126]

[0127] Among them, eff i (y i ) is the plate shape control efficiency coefficient, IU(y i ) is the change in plate shape deviation, Δu i It is the adjustment amount of the plate shape control actuator.
