Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automatic control of steel rolling, and relates to a control method for double-sided guide plates in front of a hot rolling thin strip coiler. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a hot rolling thin strip production line, the head of the strip may be stuck, deviated or stacked due to improper control of the guide plates after passing through a plurality of devices, being cut by a flying shear and being thrown by a finishing mill, resulting in tower-shaped and misaligned problems of the final steel coil product. Generally, only one guide plate is provided in front of the coiler of a conventional hot rolling production line, and the single guide plate cannot achieve a good deviation prevention effect. Therefore, a control method for double-sided guide plates in front of a hot rolling thin strip coiler is urgently needed to reduce the problems of tower shape, edge folding and deviation of the strip, and to improve the coiling quality of the steel coil product. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a control method for double-sided guide plates in front of a hot rolling thin strip coiler. The head of the strip is successfully centered in advance by controlling the first guide plate, so that the flying shear can cut smoothly. The problems of tower shape, edge folding and deviation of the strip are reduced by controlling the double guide plates. In actual production, the coiling quality of the offline steel coil is improved, and the yield of the strip product is also improved.

[0004] The present application provides a control method for double-sided guide plates in front of a hot rolling thin strip coiler. The first guide plate, the first pinch roll, the flying shear, the second pinch roll, the second guide plate and the third pinch roll are sequentially arranged in front of the coiler. A first hot metal detector is arranged in front of the first guide plate. A second hot metal detector is arranged between the first guide plate and the first pinch roll. A third hot metal detector is arranged between the second pinch roll and the second guide plate. A fourth hot metal detector is arranged between the second guide plate and the third pinch roll. The control method comprises the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: After the control system is ready, when the predetermined position button is pressed or the first hot metal detector detects the steel plate, the opening degree of the first guide plate and the second guide plate is set to the initial opening degree.

[0006] Step 2: When the head of the strip passes through the first hot metal detector and reaches the 1 / 3 position of the first guide plate, the first guide plate performs a short stroke action.

[0007] Step 3: After the head of the strip passes through the first pinch roll and reaches the set position, the first pinch roll is pressed down. When the first pinch roll contacts the strip and reaches the set pressure, the first guide plate performs a second short stroke action.

[0008] Step 4: Recalculate the strip head position according to the flying shear cutting signal, after the strip head passes through the second pinch roll, the second pinch roll is pressed down, when the second pinch roll contacts the strip and reaches the set pressure, the opening of the first guide plate is set to the strip width, and the drive side pressure ring control of the first guide plate is started at the same time;

[0010] Step 6: According to the recalculated strip head position in step 4, after the strip head passes through the third pinch roll position, the second guide plate performs a second short stroke action;

[0011] Step 7: After the second guide plate reaches the set opening and the coiler reel is wound 2 turns, the opening of the second guide plate is set to the strip width, and the drive side pressure ring control of the second guide plate is put into at the same time;

[0012] Step 8: The rolling mill has no rolling force and the first hot metal detector fails to detect heat, the opening of the first guide plate is set to the one-time short stroke opening setting value;

[0013] Step 9: The rolling mill has no rolling force and the second hot metal detector fails to detect heat, the opening of the first guide plate returns to the initial opening setting value;

[0014] Step 10: The rolling mill has no rolling force and the third hot metal detector fails to detect heat, the opening of the second guide plate is set to the one-time short stroke opening setting value;

[0015] Step 11: The rolling mill has no rolling force and the fourth hot metal detector fails to detect heat, the opening of the second guide plate returns to the initial opening setting value.

[0016] Further, the initial opening of the first guide plate and the second guide plate is expressed by the following formula:

[0017] S1 = S0 + 2S11 + 2S12 + S13

[0018] S2 = S0 + 2S21 + 2S22 + S23

[0019] Wherein, S1 and S2 are the initial opening setting values of the first guide plate and the second guide plate respectively; S0 is the strip width; S11 is the set one-time short stroke distance of the single side guide plate of the first guide plate; S12 is the set two-time short stroke distance of the single side guide plate of the first guide plate; S13 is the adjustment amount of the guide plate gap of the first guide plate; S21 is the set one-time short stroke distance of the single side guide plate of the second guide plate; S22 is the set two-time short stroke distance of the single side guide plate of the second guide plate; S23 is the adjustment amount of the guide plate gap of the second guide plate.

[0020] Further, the first guide plate in step 2 performs a first short stroke action, and the opening degree of the first guide plate is adjusted to SW11:

[0021] SW11=S0+2S12+S13

[0022] Wherein, SW11 is the first guide plate of a first short stroke opening degree set value.

[0023] Further, the first guide plate in step 3 performs a second short stroke action, and the opening degree of the first guide plate is adjusted to SW12:

[0024] SW12=S0+S13

[0025] Wherein, SW12 is the first guide plate of a second short stroke opening degree set value.

[0026] Further, the second guide plate in step 5 performs a first short stroke action, and the opening degree of the second guide plate is adjusted to SW21:

[0027] SW21=S0+2S22+S23

[0028] Wherein, SW21 is the second guide plate of a first short stroke opening degree set value.

[0029] Further, the second guide plate in step 6 performs a second short stroke action, and the opening degree of the second guide plate is adjusted to SW22:

[0030] SW22=S0+S23

[0031] Wherein, SW22 is the second guide plate of a second short stroke opening degree set value.

[0032] Further, the value range of S11 and S21 is 10-25mm; the value range of S12 and S22 is 5-15mm; the value range of S13 and S23 is 1-10mm.

[0033] The control method of the double-sided guide plate in front of the hot rolling thin strip coiling machine has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0034] In the control method of the present application, the first guide plate can guide the strip head to approach the center line position of the guide plate, avoiding the phenomenon of strip head clamping in the flying shear position, and through the simultaneous control of the two guide plates, the deviation of the strip head can be better controlled. After the secondary short stroke of the two guide plates, the gap amount is removed, which can make the strip more close to the center line of the roller, and ensure the better center line consistency of the rolling mill, strip and coiling equipment. The control method of the present application does not completely depend on the heat detection tracking, but tracks through the flying shear cutting completion signal, avoids the false signal of the influence of water vapor on the heat detection, improves the stability of the strip head entering the coiling machine, thereby reducing the occurrence of head tower shape, folded edge and staggered layer, and improving the stability and yield of the production process.
