Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of accuracy calibration methods, specifically relating to a method for improving the online calibration accuracy of hinged sector segments. Background Technology
[0002] Continuous casting is a production process that involves continuously casting molten steel at high temperatures into billets of a specific shape and size. The main equipment of a continuous casting machine includes a crystallizer, a fan-shaped section, and a cutting zone. The molten steel undergoes primary cooling in the crystallizer to form a sufficiently thick shell, and then undergoes secondary cooling in the fan-shaped section, completely converting the molten steel from liquid to solid.
[0003] The fan-shaped sections of SMS and Danieli continuous casting machines are mostly designed with hinges. These fan-shaped sections are connected by pins and pin holes, resulting in a large gap. During the preparation process, the fan-shaped sections are placed horizontally, and the gap between the pins and pin holes can be completely eliminated by gravity. However, after the fan-shaped sections are put into operation, they are changed from being placed horizontally to being placed at an angle. This causes displacement of the contact surface of the pins and pin holes. Under the action of gravity, the fan-shaped sections exhibit the characteristics of "large inlet and small outlet," and the roll gap is distributed in a "sawtooth" shape. The roll gap tester data all fall outside the target value, and there are large differences between the fan-shaped sections, making it impossible to effectively guarantee the roll gap accuracy of the online fan-shaped sections.
[0004] The online accuracy of the roll gap in continuous casting machines has a significant impact on the internal quality of the cast billet. Excessive tolerance in the roll gap between sections can cause intermediate crack defects. Overall roll gap deviation in the sector section affects the light reduction effect of the sector section and has a significant impact on center segregation. Compared with the tie-rod sector section, the internal quality of the cast billet produced by the hinged sector section is at least one grade lower in terms of center segregation rating.
[0005] Therefore, for continuous casting production, there is a need for a simple, effective, and easily promoted method to improve the online calibration accuracy of hinged sector segments. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a method for improving the online calibration accuracy of hinged sector segments, thereby solving these problems. By adopting the following procedures and operating methods, the roller gap deviation caused by gravity in the hinged sector segments can be effectively eliminated, thus improving the online calibration accuracy of the sector segments.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A method for improving the online calibration accuracy of hinged sector segments includes the following steps:
[0009] (1) Adjust the pressing pressure of the sector segment; (2) Calibrate the cylinder pressure of the sector segment; (3) Modify the size of the sector segment calibration block; (4) Design the numerical compensation function of the sector segment position sensor; (5) Compensate for the roll gap value when the bearing clearance occurs; (6) Correct the roll gap instrument data.
[0010] Preferably, the specific method of step (1) is as follows: the pressing pressure of the sector segment during offline preparation is adjusted to 400-500KN. The hinged sector segment will have a limit block designed at the sector segment frame. During offline preparation, the sector segment is pressed firmly onto the limit block to ensure the standard roll gap during offline preparation. After demonstration, for every 100KN increase in pressing pressure, the roll gap of the sector segment is reduced by 0.1-0.2mm. At a pressure of 400-500KN, the gap of the limit block can be effectively eliminated. At the same time, the deformation of the sector segment is small, and the roll gap is closer to the real roll gap.
[0011] Preferably, the specific method of step (2) is as follows: unify the cylinder pressure of the sector segment during online calibration and offline preparation. At the same time, in order to better limit the gap, modify the calibration pressure curve to staged control. The initial pressure is set to 100KN±5KN. When the pressure of the four cylinders of the sector segment is stable at 100KN±5KN, increase the pressure to 300KN±5KN. After the pressure is stable, continue to increase it to 500KN±5KN. It should be consistent with the offline preparation pressure to ensure that the hinged sector segment can be gradually compacted during online calibration, and to ensure that the sector segment mating surface is in complete and effective contact, which is closest to the offline preparation state.
[0012] Preferably, the specific method of step (3) is as follows: the calibration block used for calibration on the sector segment is designed to be a standard block that is closer to the design section of the casting machine. The size of the calibration block is designed according to the design thickness of the casting machine - 10mm, that is, the calibration roll gap of the sector segment = design thickness - 10mm, so that the online calibration is closer to the roll gap state of actual production and the calibration accuracy is improved.
[0013] Preferably, the specific method of step (4) is as follows: design a numerical compensation function for the sector segment position sensor to achieve the following functions: 1. The calibration value of the sensor can be displayed on the operation screen each time the sector segment is calibrated; 2. A window is added to the operation screen so that the sector segment position sensor can be manually set to a compensation value. After the position sensor value is compensated, the actual value = calibration value + compensation value is satisfied, thereby realizing the direct compensation of the sensor value by the manually compensated sector segment.
[0014] Preferably, the specific method of step (5) is as follows: through the sensor compensation function, the system automatically records the reading of the position sensor when the sector segment is first online and calibrated. After the sector segment has been online for a period of time, when the bearing clearance appears, the roll gap value is compensated by 0.1-0.2mm, thereby eliminating the deviation caused by the increase in clearance after online operation and the increase in the roll gap value of the sector segment, so as to ensure the consistency between the roll gap value of the online and newly replaced sector segments.
[0015] Preferably, the specific method of step (6) is as follows: optimize the roll gap meter program, correct the roll gap meter data according to the state of the highest online operating accuracy of the equipment, and correct the "sawtooth" roll gap diagram of the hinged fan segment according to the target value through the program, so as to obtain a roll gap diagram in which the roll gap meter detection data can fall into the target value range, so as to facilitate the monitoring of the online accuracy of the equipment.
[0016] Preferably, when the roll gap meter's detection data deviates from the target value, the deviation between the detected value and the target value is directly compensated to the sensor reading, reducing operational deviations caused by manual measurement, thereby ensuring that the roll gap meter's pattern is in the same trend.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0018] This invention provides a method for improving the online calibration accuracy of hinged sector segments. By optimizing the sector pressing pressure, unifying the online and offline preparation pressure of sector segments, segmented control of calibration pressure, optimizing the size of limit blocks, adding a roll gap compensation program, and correcting the roll gap instrument detection data, the accuracy of online sector segment equipment is significantly improved, and it has great potential for widespread application.

[0024] Example 1
[0025] This invention provides a method for improving the online calibration accuracy of hinged sector segments, applied in a 150×3250mm slab continuous casting machine to produce steel billets with a cross-sectional size of 150×3250mm, comprising the following steps:
[0026] (1) Adjust the pressing pressure of the sector segment: The pressing pressure of the sector segment during offline preparation is designed to be 400KN, and the pressure is used as the basis for the overall roll gap value of the sector segment.
[0027] (2) Calibrate the cylinder pressure of the sector segment: Modify the calibration pressure curve to staged control, set the initial pressure to 100KN±5KN, the second stage pressure to 300KN±5KN, and the final calibration pressure to 400KN±5KN.
[0028] (3) Modify the size of the sector section calibration block: the thickness of the casting machine section is 150mm, and the calibration block is designed to be 140mm.
[0029] (4) Design the numerical compensation function of the sector segment position sensor, which is achieved as follows: 1. The calibration value of the sensor can be displayed in the level 1 screen each time the sector segment is calibrated. 2. Design the sector segment roll gap correction value window in the sector segment calibration screen, which can realize the compensation of the values of all sector segment position sensors. The compensation relationship is actual value = calibration value + compensation value.
[0030] (5) After two days of online use of the newly replaced sector segment, bearing clearance will appear, causing the roll gap to widen. At this time, compensate 0.2mm at each of the four positions of the sector segment in the roll gap correction window of the corresponding sector segment.
[0031] (6) Refer to the data when the equipment had the highest online accuracy during the initial stage of production (see details). Figure 1 The roll gap meter program was corrected to straighten the "sawtooth" roll gap pattern into an approximately horizontal straight line, so that the detected value fell close to the target value (see details). Figure 2 ).
[0032] (7) When the roll gap tester data deviates from the target value, the difference between the roll gap test value and the target value is input into the corresponding position of the roll gap correction window, thereby compensating for the deviation of the roll gap tester data.
