Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of maintenance technology for continuous cold rolling production lines, specifically to an intelligent switching support roll maintenance system and method. Background Technology
[0002] A continuous cold rolling production line typically includes single or combined processes such as pickling, rolling, degreasing, annealing, and coating. To ensure process stability, the production line operates continuously. Any downtime in a process segment will affect product performance and quality. A continuous cold rolling production line contains dozens to hundreds of support rollers to support the strip and ensure its stable operation.
[0003] Sometimes, the support rollers can suddenly jam during the operation of the strip. When the support rollers stop moving, the surface quality of the strip is affected, especially on continuous production lines for finished products. Current technology requires the strip to be loosened in a stopped state before maintenance can be performed on the support rollers. However, stopping the machine affects the efficiency of the continuous production line, and is also limited by the process flow, preventing arbitrary shutdowns. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] An intelligent switching support roll maintenance system includes multiple lifting support rolls 1 arranged in parallel on a cold rolling continuous production line. The upper part of the multiple lifting support rolls 1 supports the strip steel 1 running on the production line. Each lifting support roll 1 is equipped with a lifting adjustment mechanism 6, a fault detection device 7, and an alarm device 8. The lifting adjustment mechanism 6, the fault detection device 7, and the alarm device 8 are all electrically connected to the support roll system controller.
[0007] Furthermore, the lifting support roller 1 includes a roller body 3, with both ends of the roller body 3 being snapped onto the support base 4. The support base 4 has a bracket 5 at its bottom, which is fixed to the ground. A lifting adjustment mechanism 6 for adjusting the height of the roller body is provided between the support base 4 and the bracket 5.
[0008] Furthermore, a fault detection device 7 for detecting faults in the support roller is provided at the contact point between the support base 4 and the roller body 3, and an alarm device 8 is provided on the bracket 5.
[0009] Furthermore, the maximum lifting height of the lifting adjustment mechanism 6 is adapted to the space height required for maintenance of the support roller.
[0010] Furthermore, both the roller body 3 and the support base 4 are detachable and replaceable.
[0011] Furthermore, the number of the plurality of lifting support rollers 1 is not less than three.
[0012] Furthermore, the fault detection device 7 is specifically a speed detector, and the alarm device 8 is specifically a buzzer.
[0013] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an intelligent switching support roller maintenance method, which, based on the support roller maintenance system described above, includes the following steps:
[0014] S1, the rotational speed of each support roller is monitored in real time by a speed detector, and a fault judgment algorithm based on the rotational speed is used to determine whether each support roller has failed;
[0015] S2, based on the support roller maintenance optimization algorithm, control the lifting of multiple support rollers adjacent to the faulty support roller, so that the strip steel wire supported by them rises;
[0016] S3. After the height of the strip steel wire above the faulty support roller is greater than the space required for the maintenance of the faulty support roller, the faulty support roller is maintained and replaced.
[0017] S4. After the faulty support roller has been repaired, adjust its height to the standard height.
[0018] S5 controls the jacking support rollers to descend to the standard height.
[0019] Specifically, the fault diagnosis algorithm based on rotational speed is as follows:
[0020] S11, the rotational speed of the nth (n≥3) support roller is monitored in real time by a speed detector and recorded as W. n ;
[0021] S12, real-time monitoring of the rotational speeds of the (n-2), (n-1), (n+1), and (n+2)th support rollers, denoted as W respectively. n-2 W n-1 W n+1 W n+2 ;
[0022] S13, determine W n Does it satisfy (W) n-2 +W n-1 +W n+1 +W n+2 ) / 8≤W n ≤(W n-2 +W n-1 +W n+1 +W n+2If the value is 2, then the nth support roller is determined to be fault-free; otherwise, the nth support roller is determined to be faulty, and its corresponding buzzer is controlled to sound an alarm.
[0023] The optimization algorithm for the maintenance of the support roller is specifically as follows:
[0024] S21, determine the serial number of the faulty support roller, denoted as m;
[0025] S22, when m < 3, control the lifting of support rollers with sequence numbers m+1 and m+2;
[0026] S22, when m≥3, control the lifting of the support rollers with sequence numbers m-2, m-1, m+1, and m+2.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0028] 1. This invention, through the cooperation of a fault detection device, a support roller system controller and a lifting adjustment mechanism, can intelligently determine the faulty support roller number and control the corresponding support roller to drive the strip steel wire to rise, providing space for the repair and replacement of the faulty support roller without affecting the production operation of the continuous production line.
[0029] 2. The present invention is equipped with multiple parallel lifting support rollers, which serve as backups for each other. When a support roller fails, the lifting adjustment mechanism can lower it while the other support rollers can still work normally, ensuring the normal operation of the cold rolling continuous production line.
[0030] 3. The fault judgment algorithm based on rotational speed provided by this invention can accurately and efficiently determine whether the support roller has malfunctioned;
[0031] 4.
