Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tension control technology for looper mechanisms, and more specifically, to a tension control compensation method for a looper mechanism, a tension control compensation device for a looper mechanism, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When an object is subjected to an external force, it will deform. When the external force is removed, the object can return to its original shape. This deformation is called elastic deformation. Its quantitative formula is E = f / ε (the unit is dynes / cm2), where E is Young's modulus, f is stress, and ε is strain.

[0003] During the cold rolling process of steel, the looper mechanism uses the strip steel to transmit torque. When the looper accelerates or decelerates, the elastic deformation of the strip steel is quite obvious, and the resulting stress has an adverse effect on the control of the looper tension.

[0004] In the cold rolling process of steel, the looper mechanism uses the strip steel for torque transmission. During acceleration and deceleration, the looper tension oscillates uncontrollably, posing a significant risk to the production line. One of the main contributing factors is the periodic elastic deformation of the strip steel during acceleration and deceleration, i.e., a periodic stretching and contraction. The stress generated by this elastic deformation acts on the strip steel, causing the looper tension to oscillate uncontrollably.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to eliminate the stress generated by the elastic deformation of the strip during operation and to stabilize the control of the looper tension. Summary of the Invention

For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0051] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0052] See Figure 1 The diagram shows a flow chart of a tension control compensation method for a looper mechanism according to an embodiment of this application.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a tension control compensation method for a looper mechanism is illustrated, specifically including steps S100 to S400.

[0054] Step S100: Obtain the production parameters of the looper mechanism when rolling strip steel.

[0055] It should be noted that during the operation of the strip steel, the first purpose of setting up the looper mechanism is to store excess strip steel between production line areas as a strip steel storage device to ensure that the production line does not stop and to keep the looping quantity controllable through the adjustment of the looper height control system; the second purpose is to act as an actuator to control the constant tension of the strip steel to avoid the phenomena of steel pulling, steel piling, and deviation, and to minimize the coupling and mutual interference between functional areas caused by the change of strip steel tension.

[0056] The structure of the looper mechanism in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2As shown, it consists of a looper motor, a looper trolley, a looper inlet tension roller, and a looper outlet tension roller. The strip enters from the looper inlet tension roller, passes through the looper trolley, and exits from the looper outlet tension roller. The strip is in a taut state in the looper mechanism. In order to confirm the elastic stress of the strip in the taut state, it is necessary to confirm the various parameters of the strip in the looper mechanism.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, obtaining the production parameters of the looper mechanism during strip rolling includes:

[0058] Obtain the inlet strip speed, outlet strip speed, number of strip passes within the looper mechanism, and trolley speed of the looper mechanism.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Step S200: Calculate the actual speed deviation of the looper trolley in the looper mechanism based on the production parameters.

[0060] It is understandable that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the looper carriage is driven by the looper motor. The strip is fitted onto the looper carriage. When the looper carriage is running, it drives the strip. The elastic stress of the strip itself is closely related to the operating parameters of the looper carriage.

[0061] In some feasible embodiments, step S200 specifically includes:

[0062] The initial deviation of the actual speed of the looper trolley is calculated based on formula (1) using the inlet strip speed of the looper mechanism, the outlet strip speed of the looper mechanism, the number of times the strip passes through the looper mechanism, and the trolley speed of the looper mechanism.

[0063]

[0064] In formula (1), α represents the initial deviation of the actual speed of the trolley, V en V represents the speed of the strip at the looper inlet. ex V represents the speed of the strip at the looper exit. loop N represents the linear velocity of the looper trolley, and N represents the number of times the steel track is carried inside the looper.

[0065] The initial deviation value of the actual speed of the trolley is processed by first-order filtering to obtain the actual speed deviation value of the trolley.

[0066] Understandably, filtering the initial deviation value of the actual speed of the looper trolley to obtain the actual speed deviation value can improve the accuracy of the actual speed deviation value.

[0067] In some feasible embodiments, the first-order filtering of the initial deviation value of the actual speed of the looper trolley includes:

[0068] The initial deviation of the actual speed of the looper trolley is filtered using a first-order filtering algorithm; the first-order filtering algorithm is shown in formula (2).

[0069]

[0070] In formula (2), Y is the filtered output value, Y last T is the filtered output value of the previous scan cycle. cyc T is the PLC scan cycle time. f denoted as the filtering time, x as the filtering input value, and k as the coefficient.

[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Step S300: Calculate the elastic stress of the strip in the looper mechanism based on the actual speed deviation value.

[0072] In some feasible embodiments, step S300 specifically includes:

[0073] Obtain the elastic stress coefficient of the strip in the looper mechanism;

[0074] Based on the initial deviation of the actual speed, the actual speed deviation, and the elastic stress coefficient, the elastic stress is calculated using formula (3).

[0075]

[0076] In formula (3), F represents elastic stress, E represents elastic stress coefficient, α represents the initial deviation of actual velocity, and β represents the actual velocity deviation.

[0077] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Step S400, based on the tension of the elastic stress compensation looper mechanism.

[0078] It is understandable that the tension of the looper mechanism is mainly generated by the elastic stress produced by the deformation of the strip. Therefore, the tension of the looper structure can be accurately compensated based on the elastic stress of the strip, thus achieving tension control and compensation of the looper mechanism.

[0079] In some feasible embodiments, step S400 includes:

[0080] The elastic stress is converted into additional torque and then compensated to the torque setting value of the looper motor in the looper mechanism.

[0081] It is understandable that the looper mechanism mainly relies on the looper motor to drive the looper to move off the machine, thereby driving the strip steel. In this embodiment, the torque source is the looper motor in the looper mechanism. By adjusting the torque of the looper motor, the movement of the strip steel is adjusted, thereby achieving tension control compensation for the looper mechanism.

[0082] Using this method to compensate for the tension control of the looper can offset the stress generated by the elastic deformation of the wire rope, solve the problem of tension oscillation and uncontrollability, and significantly reduce the tension fluctuation of the looper strip from 80% to 20%. The number of shutdown failures caused by tension operation problems has been significantly reduced, and the risk of strip breakage inside the looper during operation has been eliminated. According to the calculation of shutdown and strip breakage accidents, about 100,000 yuan in losses are avoided every year.
