Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated control technology for hot continuous rolling mills, and in particular to a method for solving the oscillations caused by mutual interference between the torque loop and the approach controller in looper control. Background Technology

[0002] In hot strip mill production lines, looper control plays a crucial role, and the control accuracy of the looper directly affects the quality of the product. Looper devices are installed between the finishing mill stands to buffer changes in the metal flow rate. The looper uses a torque closed-loop control hydraulic servo system to ensure constant tension of the strip between the stands, and at the same time, it uses a height closed-loop to adjust the speed of the upstream stand to ensure a constant amount of strip being looped between the stands.

[0003] In actual rolling mill looper startup, the servo valve current consists of the torque loop and the approach controller output. After looper startup, the torque loop and approach controller output together. When the actual torque cannot follow the set torque, the torque loop will output rapidly to bring the looper closer to the strip as quickly as possible. When the looper contacts the strip, if the torque overshoots, the torque loop will output a negative current to mitigate the torque overshoot. At the same time, the output of the approach controller gradually decreases as the tension torque saturates, eventually achieving soft contact between the looper and the strip. When the actual torque is less than the set torque, the actual tension torque is also less than the set tension torque, meaning the looper is at risk of losing tension. To quickly reach the set torque, the approach controller will output. When the looper sagging is severe, the approach controller output is large, and occasionally it will oscillate with the torque loop during adjustment. Moreover, the oscillation trend becomes increasingly obvious, and the looper angle will also fluctuate significantly. In severe cases, there is a risk of downstream stand overlap rolling. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the torque loop and approach controller from oscillating to ensure the stability of looper control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method for solving the oscillation caused by mutual interference between the torque loop and the approach controller in loop control, thereby resolving the oscillation problem caused by mutual interference between the torque loop and the approach controller.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] On one hand, the present invention provides a method for resolving oscillations caused by mutual interference between the torque loop and the approach controller in looper control. This method includes:

[0007] Set up an angular velocity oscillation detection counter and a time counter;

[0008] Once the slipknot is engaged, the time counter begins counting. Simultaneously, the detection system monitors in real time whether slipknot oscillation occurs. When slipknot oscillation occurs, the angular velocity oscillation detection counter captures and records the time of slipknot oscillation in real time, which are defined as: Ta1, Ta2, ..., TaN; where Tai represents the recording time of the i-th slipknot oscillation, i = 1, 2, 3, ..., N, and N is a preset integer value.

[0009] Based on the counting results of the time counter and the angular velocity oscillation detection counter, the approach controller is disabled in a timely manner to prevent the torque loop and the approach controller from oscillating continuously.

[0010] Furthermore, the detection system monitors in real time whether condom oscillations occur, including:

[0011] The angular velocity of the looper is detected in real time by an angular velocity detection system;

[0012] When the detected angular velocity of the looper exceeds the preset angular velocity threshold, it is determined that looper oscillation has occurred.

[0013] Furthermore, the preset angular velocity threshold is 3deg / s.

[0014] Furthermore, based on the counting results of the time counter and the angular velocity oscillation detection counter, a timely disabling operation is performed on the approach controller to prevent the torque loop from continuously oscillating with the approach controller, including:

[0015] When the time interval between the recording time of the Nth loop oscillation and the recording time of the first loop oscillation is less than the preset first duration threshold, a preset duration pulse is triggered to disable the approach controller output.

[0016] Furthermore, the preset first duration threshold is 240ms.

[0017] Furthermore, the preset duration is two seconds.

[0018] Furthermore, based on the counting results of the time counter and the angular velocity oscillation detection counter, the approach controller is promptly disabled to prevent the torque loop from continuously oscillating with the approach controller, which also includes:

[0019] When the time interval between the time recorded by the time counter and the time recorded by the angular velocity oscillation detection counter for the first loop oscillation is greater than the preset second duration threshold, the angular velocity oscillation detection counter is reset, and the detection of whether a loop oscillation occurs is restarted; when the loop is unhooked or unhooked, both counters are also reset, thereby resetting the approach controller.

[0020] Furthermore, the preset second duration threshold is 300ms.

[0021] In another aspect, the present invention also provides an electronic device comprising a processor and a memory; wherein the memory stores at least one instruction, which is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the above-described method.

[0022] In another aspect, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one instruction that is loaded and executed by a processor to implement the above-described method.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this invention include at least the following:

[0024] The technical solution of this invention captures the looper angular velocity in real time after the looper starts rolling. When the system detects that the looper has a tendency to jitter, it disables the output of the approach controller in time, which can avoid the oscillation problem caused by the mutual interference between the looper torque ring and the approach controller, thereby ensuring the stable rolling of the strip.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] First Embodiment

[0030] To address the oscillation problem caused by mutual interference between the torque loop and the approach controller, this embodiment provides a method for resolving oscillations caused by mutual interference between the torque loop and the approach controller in loop control. This method can be implemented by an electronic device, which can be a terminal or a server. The execution flow of this method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0031] S1, set an angular velocity oscillation detection counter and a time counter;

[0032] The time counter integrates time through the integration function block, which is the real-time T.

[0033] S2, after the slipknot is untied, the time counter starts counting; at the same time, the detection system detects in real time whether the slipknot oscillates. When slipknot oscillation occurs, the angular velocity oscillation detection counter captures the time of slipknot oscillation in real time and records it, which are defined as: Ta1, Ta2, Ta3, Ta4 respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, oscillation detection refers to the angular velocity oscillation detection of the looper. The angular velocity is calculated from the actual angle of the looper and is expressed in deg / s. The oscillation threshold is 3 deg / s. After the looper is unhooked, the angular velocity oscillation detection counter starts working. When the angular velocity is detected to be greater than 3 deg / s for the first time, the current time is recorded as Ta1; the second time as Ta2, and so on, recording Ta3, Ta4 in sequence.

[0035] S3, based on the counting results of the time counter and the angular velocity oscillation detection counter, promptly disable the approach controller to prevent the torque loop from continuously oscillating with the approach controller;

[0036] In this embodiment, the method disables the approach controller output when loop oscillation is detected, thereby avoiding oscillation between the approach controller and the torque loop. The specific detection and control principles are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the process is as follows:

[0037] When the time interval between the fourth oscillation recording time Ta4 and the first oscillation recording time Ta1 is less than 240ms, a two-second pulse is triggered to disable the approach control output. At this time, due to the exit of the approach controller, the torque loop will quickly enter a steady state, thereby avoiding oscillation between the approach controller and the torque loop. It should be noted that when the time interval between the fourth oscillation recording time Ta4 and the first oscillation recording time Ta1 is less than 240ms, the approach controller needs to be disabled for two seconds because at this time, it is detected that the looper has reached the threshold value angular velocity four times within 240ms, and is in an oscillation state. The looper needs to be exited from the oscillation state as soon as possible. Otherwise, severe looper jitter may cause the risk of stacked scrap steel. At this time, the system generates a two-second pulse to disable the approach control output, which can effectively avoid the continuous oscillation between the approach controller and the torque loop.

[0038] When the time interval T of the time counter is greater than 300ms from the time Ta1 of the first detected oscillation, the oscillation counter is reset because the oscillation frequency is considered low at this point, and oscillation detection restarts. Specifically, if the looper's angular velocity does not reach the threshold value of 3deg / s within 300ms, the looper is in a stable state, and therefore the oscillation counter is reset for re-detection. Similarly, when the looper is raised or lowered, both counters are reset, thereby resetting the controller.

[0039] In summary, this embodiment provides a method for resolving oscillations caused by mutual interference between the torque loop and the approach controller in looper control. This method involves real-time monitoring of the looper's angular velocity change trend after looper startup and timely disabling of the approach controller to prevent continuous oscillation between the torque loop and the approach controller, thereby ensuring the stability of the looper control. This method has been successfully applied in a hot strip rolling production line, significantly improving the control accuracy of the looper and greatly reducing scrap accidents caused by abnormal looper vibration.
