Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and more particularly to a method, monitoring and early warning method and system for intelligent planning of hot rolling mill rolls based on digital twins. Background Technology
[0002] In a hot strip mill production line, the rolling mill plays a crucial role in the stable rolling of slabs. After rolling a certain number of tons of steel billets, the rolls need to be removed from the mill for grinding and stored in the warehouse for reuse. To ensure product quality stability, production personnel need to control roll changing operations. To accommodate the production of steel plates of different thicknesses, rolls also need to be changed according to order requirements. Therefore, planning and managing roll usage is an essential process.
[0003] Currently, the condition and end-of-life of rolls can only be determined manually based on experience, lacking an information platform to support the full lifecycle management of rolls. Multiple hot rolling production lines with similar or identical units have overlapping production capacities, and multiple rolls of the same type are available, offering numerous choices. On-site staff still need to manually select rolls to meet order requirements. Existing technology can only record the usage of individual rolls and cannot achieve intelligent selection.
[0004] With the maturation of the digital twin concept and the development of technology, a digital twin world is being continuously constructed, from components to complete machines, from products to production lines, from production to services, and from static to dynamic processes. Various products based on digital twins are emerging, and constructing virtual industrial units to solve problems in actual units, providing early warnings of potential issues, and assisting humans in planning and judgment are of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems in roll usage planning, this invention provides a digital twin-based intelligent planning method, monitoring and early warning method, and system for hot rolling rolls. This invention primarily utilizes digital twin technology to simulate and analyze roll operating status characteristic data, providing the function of selecting suitable rolls based on rules set according to industry standards and the on-site production environment.
[0006] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows: A digital twin-based intelligent planning method for hot rolling mill rolls includes: S1. Establish the system's basic dataset; S2. Select hot-rolled thickness as input condition data, and input order feature data; S3. Set the roll detection rules to determine whether the tonnage and mileage of the input order are within the range; S4. Set up the intelligent planning model for the rolls and check whether the current roll needs to be replaced. If the roll needs to be replaced, then the new roll is put on the machine; if the roll does not need to be replaced, then after the rolling is completed, record the rolling production data. S5. Based on the recorded rolling production data, determine whether the planning result is qualified. If qualified, give the planning result; if not qualified, return to step S3.
[0007] Furthermore, in step S1, establishing the system's basic dataset specifically includes: Establish the following tables in the information system: basic information table for rolls, roll usage performance table, roll grinding performance table, roll change information table, and stand roll allocation record table, among which: The basic information table for the rolls includes roll number, roll type, roll working section category, roll condition, matching mark, initial hardness of roll body, initial hardness of roll neck, roll quality grade, roll hardness grade, supplied diameter, minimum usable diameter, actual diameter, roll weight, warehouse code, paired roll number, cumulative rolling tonnage, cumulative rolling mileage, cumulative grinding times, paired mill number, time of commissioning, last loading time, last use time, cumulative rolling tonnage at last loading, and cumulative rolling mileage at last loading. The roll usage performance table includes roll number, roll type, roll working section category, loading time, ending time, rolling weight, rolling length, number of rolled blocks, rolling notes, stand number, stand position, rolling stand number, paired mill number, paired roll number, paired drive side bearing housing number, paired drive side bearing number, paired operating side bearing housing number, and paired operating side bearing number. The actual grinding record of the rolls includes the roll number, roll type, maximum diameter, minimum diameter, maximum crown, minimum crown, maximum grinding amount, and minimum grinding amount. The roll change information table includes the unit number, frame number, roll type, upper roll number, lower roll number, and roll change date; The stand roll allocation record sheet includes the unit number, stand number, roll type, upper roll number, and lower roll number.
[0008] Furthermore, in step S2, the input order feature data is used to determine whether the hot-rolled thickness of the finished product falls within the actual diameter rolling range of the production line unit's rolls.
[0009] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes: Based on the system's set factors and rules, such as the maximum rolling tonnage of the rolls, the amount of material rolled each time the hot rolling rolls are used, the cumulative rolling tonnage, the cumulative rolling mileage, the cumulative rolling tonnage at the last load, and the cumulative rolling mileage at the last load, it is determined whether the tonnage and mileage of this order are within the range.
[0010] Furthermore, step S4 specifically includes: The intelligent roll planning model verifies the current roll. If it meets the requirements, rolling proceeds normally. If it does not meet the requirements, a suitable roll is selected from the roll library based on the factors of hot rolling thickness, cumulative rolling tonnage, cumulative rolling mileage, last loaded cumulative rolling tonnage, and last loaded cumulative rolling mileage.
[0011] This invention also provides a roll monitoring and early warning method based on the above-mentioned intelligent planning method for hot rolling rolls, comprising: Obtain feature data of the actual main body of the roll; The feature data is used to construct a digital twin roll application model through a preset mapping relationship; Collect the roll running status trajectory data and substitute the roll running data into the digital twin roll running space model to generate roll running dynamic data; Collect coordinate data within the main body of the rolling mill, establish a correlation between the coordinate data and the rolling mill's on / off data, obtain the rolling mill's position data within the entity, and store the rolling mill's position data to obtain the rolling mill's full life cycle data. Based on the digital twin roll operation space model, the full life cycle data of the roll operation and the dynamic data of the roll operation are processed to obtain virtual space image data.
[0012] Furthermore, the acquisition of feature data of the actual main object in the roll running space includes: Create a data model of the physical entity that is the actual main body of the roll running space. The structure of the data model is a set of attribute parameters of the physical entity. The structure of the data model is obtained by determining the set of attribute parameters of the physical entity. The attribute parameters in the set of attribute parameters of the physical entity include the attribute name and data type. Establish a correlation between the data in the attribute parameter set of the physical entity and the actual main body of the roll running space.
[0013] Furthermore, the acquisition of coordinate data within the rolling mill body includes: Acquire map data within the area where the main rolling mill is located; A correlation is established between the geographic location information and the coordinate data of the main rolling mill, and the geographic location information is used to indicate the travel path of maintenance personnel.
[0014] This invention also provides a roll monitoring and early warning system based on the above-mentioned roll monitoring and early warning method, comprising: a data acquisition terminal, a server connected to the data acquisition terminal, an operator terminal connected to the server, and a background control terminal, wherein: The data acquisition terminal includes an intelligent terminal device used to acquire feature data of the actual main object in the roll running space; The server is used to construct a digital twin roll operation space model by using the feature data acquired by the data acquisition terminal through a preset mapping relationship, collect roll operation status trajectory data, and substitute the roll operation status trajectory data into the digital twin roll operation space model to generate roll operation dynamic data, collect coordinate data within the roll operation body, establish a correlation between the coordinate data and the roll operation status trajectory data to obtain the roll operation position data within the entity object, and store the roll operation position data to obtain the roll operation status full life cycle data. Based on the digital twin roll operation space model, the full life cycle data of roll operation and the roll operation dynamic data are processed to obtain virtual space image data.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The roll monitoring and early warning method and system based on digital twin provided by this invention processes the full life cycle data and dynamic data of roll operation based on the digital twin roll operation space model to obtain virtual space image data. The spatial image data is displayed to the operator in virtual space form. The operator can intuitively observe the operation of the roll by observing the image of the roll in the virtual space. When there is a new order, the operator can intuitively observe the operation of each roll in the roll group through the virtual space built by digital twin technology. When it is predicted that roll replacement is needed, the production personnel go to the unit where the old roll is located to perform the roll replacement operation. The geographical coordinate data of the digital twin space where the roll is located is unified with the digital twin space of the factory. Based on the roll operation data recorded by the system, the current operation status of the roll and other auxiliary maintenance data are given to the production personnel.
[0016] 2. Compared with traditional paper documents, digital twin technology has a three-dimensional feel. Production personnel can quickly find corresponding objects such as rollers by displaying the production line in a virtual space. By displaying the roller assembly in a virtual space through digital twin technology, more comprehensive reference data is provided for production rolling. Production personnel can predict the roller usage plan in advance, solving the problems of incomplete effective roller data, easy loss, and reliance on manual labor.
[0017] Based on the above reasons, this invention can be widely applied in fields such as computers. Attached Figure Description
