Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment monitoring, specifically to an online rolling mill monitoring method, device, equipment, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] Rolling mills are essential metal processing equipment in every steel mill. Except for special endless rolling processes, most steel rolling production involves single-slab rolling or semi-endless rolling. For a single rolling mill reducer, if the rolling process is not continuous, significant instantaneous impacts occur between the rolls and the billet as the billet enters the rolls and when the billet is fully desulfurized. These impacts are strong enough to cause increased vibration in all components of the rolling mill. Furthermore, the online monitoring system for the rolling mill reducer, including the rolls, needs to capture the reducer's operating status in real time, such as vibration speed and acceleration. Trend management tools should be used to issue alarms when vibration speed and acceleration increase. In practical applications, the impact of the rolls passing through the steel significantly increases the false alarm rate of the online monitoring system, causing considerable interference and difficulty in diagnosing faults in the rolling mill reducer.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0043] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the invention.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating vibration signals generated when a device's operating components are in operation, as shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 1 In the case of an impact on a piece of equipment, the impact amplitude is large, but the duration is very short, only a few milliseconds. During the impact phase, the integral of the amplitude curve over time can be used... Figure 1 The area of ​​shaded region 2 in the diagram represents the total area of ​​shaded region 1 and shaded region 2. However, for each single sample time t (e.g., 2 seconds) set by SWE, the integral of its amplitude over time, i.e., VE, is the sum of the areas of shaded region 1 and shaded region 2. Even if there are multiple impacts within a single sample time, their impact on the entire shaded region is relatively small and will not cause a large change in the VE trend, i.e., it will not cause false alarms.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary online rolling mill monitoring method implementation environment according to this application. This implementation environment includes a vibration sensor 210, a data acquisition box 220, and a software server 230, with data interaction between the vibration sensor 210, the data acquisition box 220, and the software server 230. In this implementation environment, the vibration sensor acquires vibration signals generated when the operating parts of the equipment are working; then, the vibration signals are transmitted to the data acquisition box for data processing to obtain data processing results, which are then sent to the software server. The software server integrates the vibration signals to obtain an integral result; the integral results are arranged in chronological order, and the sorted integral results are fitted into a trend line, which represents the development trend of the equipment status; the rolling mill is monitored based on the trend line. This invention, through the application of an integral algorithm, minimizes the impact of rolling mill impact on the equipment status trend, making it negligible. Therefore, the system does not need to access production operation data, does not need to control the timing of rolling mill impact, and can also eliminate the impact of rolling mill impact on the alarm accuracy of the online status monitoring system.

[0046] The embodiments of this application respectively propose an online mill monitoring method, an online mill monitoring device, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which will be described in detail below.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of an online rolling mill monitoring method according to this application. This method can be applied to... Figure 1 The implementation environment is shown, and the method is specifically executed by the vehicle control unit within that implementation environment. It should be understood that this method can also be applied to other exemplary implementation environments and executed by devices in other implementation environments; this embodiment does not limit the implementation environment to which the method is applicable.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary online rolling mill monitoring method according to this application. The torsional vibration control method includes at least steps S310 to S340, detailed below:

[0049] Step S310: Acquire a vibration signal, which is generated when the operating parts of the equipment are working;

[0050] The acquisition of vibration signals includes: acquiring vibration signals through a triaxial accelerometer, wherein the triaxial accelerometer is installed on the bearing housing or bearing end cover of the rolling mill reducer.

[0051] The triaxial accelerometer is an active sensor, fixedly mounted on the bearing end cover of the rolling mill reducer. Mounting methods include magnetic suction, threaded hole mounting, or clamp mounting. The triaxial accelerometer is connected to a data acquisition box near the rolling mill reducer via a signal line, transmitting the analog signals collected by the sensor to the data acquisition box for edge computing. The data acquisition box performs analog-to-digital conversion according to flexible program settings to obtain the domain signal value VT, which is the commonly used instantaneous value of vibration acceleration.

[0052] Step S320: Integrate the vibration signal to obtain the integration result;

[0053] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the integration of the vibration signal, as shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 4 In this context, integrating the vibration signal includes:

[0054] Step S410: Perform analog-to-digital conversion on the vibration signal to obtain a time-domain signal value;

[0055] In this embodiment, VT is used to represent the time-domain signal value of the vibration signal.

[0056] Step S420: Arrange the time-domain signal values ​​in chronological order and fit them into a curve to obtain the fitted curve;

[0057] Step S430: Group the fitted curves at fixed time intervals to obtain multiple time-domain plots;

[0058] The fixed time can be 2 seconds, which means that the fitted curves within 2 seconds are grouped together. This allows the fitted curves to be divided into multiple groups, and each group is a time-domain plot.

[0059] Step S440: Integrate the multiple time-domain graphs respectively to obtain multiple integration results.

[0060] Each time-domain graph VT is integrated over time t to obtain the integration result, which is represented by VE.

[0061] In one embodiment, the vibration signal is converted from analog to digital using edge computing.

[0062] Step S330: Arrange the integration results in chronological order and fit the sorted integration results into a trend line, which is used to represent the development trend of the equipment status.

[0063] In the aforementioned steps, multiple integral results VE are arranged in order of calculation completion time and fitted into a curve, i.e., an energy map. The energy map is then sent to the software server, where the analysis software on the server plots and displays the VE to obtain the equipment status trend.

[0064] In one embodiment, the method further includes uploading each integration result and the corresponding time-domain signal value to a server.

[0065] In one embodiment, the method further includes performing a Fourier transform on each integral result to obtain a corresponding spectrum.

[0066] The analysis software can perform Fourier transform on each VE data point of length t to obtain the corresponding spectrum of the time domain graph, which can be used by analysts for spectrum analysis.

[0067] Step S340: Monitor the rolling mill according to the trend line.

[0068] It should be noted that trend charts can be used to monitor data and determine whether an alarm is needed. The trend alarm in the analysis software is implemented by calculating whether the integrated data provided by the data acquisition box exceeds the alarm value, thus preventing the system from triggering alarms when the billet enters or leaves the rolling mill rolls.

[0069] The analysis software can remotely control the gain, analog-to-digital conversion frequency, fixed time t, etc. of the data acquisition box, and thus remotely control VT and VE to adapt to various working conditions.

[0070] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0071] In summary, the online mill monitoring method for automatically eliminating the impact of rolling mill impact, as proposed in this invention, can reduce the impact of rolling mill impact on equipment status trends to a negligible level through the application of an integral algorithm. Therefore, the system does not require access to production operation data or control over the timing of rolling mill impacts, and it can also eliminate the impact of rolling mill impacts on the alarm accuracy of the online status monitoring system. Thus, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and has high industrial application value.
