Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heat treatment control technology, specifically relating to a method, system and production line for controlling the entry of steel plates into a heat treatment unit. Background Technology

[0002] In heat treatment processes, it's possible for unknown steel plates to enter and exit the furnace. The steel plates need to be fed into the quenching furnace at a specific speed. The quenching furnace operates at high temperatures, typically around 900 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the steel plates are red-hot from the furnace inlet to the outlet. When the plates exit the furnace, the subsequent quenching machine sprays water to quench them. Because the furnace rollers are constantly inside the furnace, they must rotate continuously to maintain their shape. However, the quenching machine may fail to spray water for various reasons. If these factors are not properly controlled, red-hot steel can easily emerge, resulting in substandard products and endangering equipment and personnel safety, causing equipment damage and personal injury – with extremely serious consequences.

[0003] In the heat treatment process, the steel plate needs to be shot blasted first, and then fed into the quenching furnace according to the process speed. The temperature of the quenching furnace is relatively high, generally around 900 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the steel plate is in a red-hot state from the furnace inlet to the furnace outlet. When the steel plate comes out of the furnace, the subsequent quenching machine needs to spray water to quench the steel plate.

[0004] When steel plates leave the shot blasting machine, they are very likely to be covered with shot. Therefore, a blower is added to the outlet to blow the shot off.

[0005] When steel plates are fed into the furnace, they can draw air into the furnace, affecting the atmosphere inside and thus the quality of the products and the service life of the furnace. Therefore, a blowing device is added to the inlet to prevent excessive air from entering the furnace.

[0006] When steel plates leave the quenching machine, they are very likely to be covered with water droplets, so a spraying device is added to its outlet to blow the water droplets off.

[0007] Traditional jet blowing devices are controlled by continuously blowing air, which wastes compressed air and energy. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome at least one defect in the prior art and to provide a method, system and production line for controlling the entry of steel plates into the furnace of a heat treatment unit.

[0009] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: This invention discloses a method for controlling the entry of steel plates into a heat treatment unit, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Acquire signals from the furnace-entering steel plate detection element;

[0011] When the steel plate detection element detects the presence of steel, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition: the tail position of the steel plate - A ≤ the position of the steel plate detection element ≤ the head position of the steel plate + A, where A is the set allowable deviation value.

[0012] If a steel plate that meets the first condition is found, the search is exited and the furnace feeding procedure is started.

[0013] If no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an alarm will be triggered to indicate an abnormality, and the furnace feeding will be stopped.

[0014] Furthermore, the steel plate detection element is arranged in front of the furnace inlet.

[0015] Furthermore, there are multiple detection elements for the steel plates entering the furnace, and these multiple detection elements are distributed at intervals along the running direction of the steel plates.

[0016] Furthermore, when the steel plate detection element detects the presence of steel, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition. Specifically, this includes comparing the position information of the steel plate detection element with the position information of each steel plate to check whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition.

[0017] Furthermore, the position information of the steel plate detection element is compared with the position information of each steel plate. Specifically, this includes comparing the position information of the steel plate detection element with the position information of each steel plate in the order in which the steel plates are put into the furnace.

[0018] Furthermore, if no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an abnormal situation is confirmed. If the steel plate position is abnormal, the steel plate position is corrected. If the steel plate signal is lost, a new steel plate signal is inserted. If the furnace-entry steel plate detection element is abnormal, the detection signal of the furnace-entry steel plate detection element is processed.

[0019] Furthermore, after finding a steel plate that meets the first condition, it is necessary to determine whether the distance between the last steel plate in the furnace and the furnace inlet is sufficient for the steel plate to enter the furnace at high speed and then decelerate to the process speed. If it is sufficient, the furnace entry procedure for the steel plate is started.

[0020] The present invention also discloses a heat treatment unit steel plate feeding control system, including a controller, wherein the controller is provided with a heat treatment unit steel plate feeding control program, and the heat treatment unit steel plate feeding control program is configured to implement the heat treatment unit steel plate feeding control method as described above.

[0021] Furthermore, the heat treatment unit steel plate feeding control system of the present invention also includes a steel plate feeding detection element, which is connected to the controller and is used to transmit the detected information to the controller.

[0022] Furthermore, the detection element for the steel plates entering the furnace is a grating.

[0023] The present invention also discloses a steel plate heat treatment production line, including a heating furnace, a controller, and a steel plate detection element for entering the furnace. The steel plate detection element is used to transmit the detected information to the controller. The controller is equipped with a heat treatment unit steel plate entering furnace control program, which is configured to implement the heat treatment unit steel plate entering furnace control method as described above.

[0024] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The present invention arranges a steel plate detection element in front of the furnace inlet; when the steel plate detection element detects the presence of steel, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition: the tail position of the steel plate - A ≤ the position of the steel plate detection element ≤ the head position of the steel plate + A, where A is a set allowable deviation value; if a steel plate that meets the first condition is found, the search is exited and the furnace feeding procedure is started; if no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an alarm is triggered to indicate an abnormality and the furnace feeding is stopped.

[0025] By adopting the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, it is possible to prevent unknown steel plates from entering the furnace and to effectively prevent abnormal steel plates from exiting the furnace, thereby improving the production efficiency, safety and stability of the unit.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature; in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" or "several" means two or more.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a method for controlling the feeding of steel plates into a heat treatment unit, comprising the following steps:

[0038] Acquire signals from the furnace-entering steel plate detection element;

[0039] When the steel plate detection element detects the presence of steel, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition: the tail position of the steel plate - A ≤ the position of the steel plate detection element ≤ the head position of the steel plate + A, where A is the set allowable deviation value.

[0040] If a steel plate that meets the first condition is found, a normal signal is returned (indicating that the signal of the detection element for the steel plate entering the furnace is normal), the search is exited, and the furnace entry procedure is started.

[0041] If no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an abnormal signal is returned, an alarm is triggered to indicate an abnormality, and the furnace feeding is stopped.

[0042] Furthermore, when the steel plate detection element detects the presence of steel, it performs signal processing, typically with a delay of a set time (e.g., 1 second).

[0043] The position information of each steel plate (the head and tail positions of the steel plate) is calculated by the program. For example, the initial position of each steel plate is known, and its position at the corresponding time is obtained by integrating the velocity and time. Of course, this position is theoretical and can be corrected by using a grating.

[0044] The steel plate detection element is located before the furnace inlet. The steel plate detection element is used to detect the steel plates on the furnace feed roller conveyor.

[0045] In some embodiments, there are multiple steel plate detection elements for the furnace feed, which are distributed at intervals along the direction in which the steel plates enter the furnace. The spacing between adjacent steel plate detection elements is set as needed. In some embodiments, the distance between the steel plate detection element and the furnace inlet is generally less than 1 meter, such as when the steel plate detection element is generally located within 1 meter of the furnace inlet.

[0046] In some embodiments, the steel plate detection element employs a grating (through-beam grating).

[0047] In some embodiments, when the steel plate detection element detects a steel signal, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition. Specifically, this includes: when the steel plate detection element detects a steel signal, comparing the position information of the steel plate detection element with the position information of each steel plate (which may be the first steel plate to the last steel plate j on the furnace roller conveyor, or information on all steel plates that have not yet entered the furnace, etc.) to check whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition.

[0048] The position information of the steel plate detection element entering the furnace is compared with the position information of each steel plate. Specifically, the position information of the steel plate detection element is compared with the position information of each steel plate in turn, according to the order in which the steel plates enter the furnace.

[0049] In some embodiments, if no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an abnormal situation is confirmed. If the steel plate position is abnormal, the steel plate position is corrected. If the steel plate signal is lost, a new steel plate signal is inserted. If the furnace-entry steel plate detection element is abnormal, the detection signal of the furnace-entry steel plate detection element is processed.

[0050] There may be interference, so the detection signal of the steel plate detection element needs to be processed, specifically including: delay processing of the detection signal of the steel plate detection element.

[0051] When determining whether the steel plate position is normal, if the calculated steel plate position is X1 (e.g., 28000mm), but the grating at position X2 (e.g., 29800mm) is lit, it indicates that the steel plate position calculation is incorrect, and therefore the steel plate position is abnormal.

[0052] The position of the steel plate is corrected. One embodiment is as follows: if the correction range is within a set range (e.g., 2m), then the correction is made. For example, 29800-28000=1800mm, which is within 2m, then the position of the steel plate will be corrected to X2 (e.g., 29800mm).

[0053] In some embodiments, if there is no signal from the steel plate but the grating is lit, it indicates that the signal from the steel plate has been lost.

[0054] In some embodiments, inserting a new steel plate signal specifically includes: inputting the current position, length, thickness, and other signals of the steel plate onto the HMI, and after confirmation, adding a steel plate to the HMI. For example, if there are two steel plates on the HMI, and the operator wants to insert information for a steel plate (in reality, there must be three), the operator needs to input the current position, length, thickness, and other signals of the steel plate onto the HMI, and after confirmation, adding a steel plate to the HMI.

[0055] Further, see Figure 6 After finding a steel plate that meets the first condition, it is also necessary to determine whether the distance S between the last steel plate in the furnace (i.e., the steel plate that was previously put into the furnace) and the furnace inlet meets the requirement that the steel plate enters the furnace at high speed and then decelerates to the process speed V. 工艺 If the required distance is met, the furnace loading procedure for the steel plate will be initiated.

[0056] For example, S in one embodiment needs to satisfy the following condition:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, V 入 For the rate at which the steel plate enters the furnace, l 入 This indicates the length of the steel plate currently being prepared to enter the furnace. s0 is the safety interval, which is set as needed, generally 1m-2m.

[0059] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also discloses a heat treatment unit steel plate furnace feeding control device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a heat treatment unit steel plate furnace feeding control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the heat treatment unit steel plate furnace feeding control program is configured to implement the heat treatment unit steel plate furnace feeding control method as described above.

[0060] In some embodiments, the processor may be a central processing unit (CPU), a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, or other data processing chip. The processor is typically used to control the overall operation of the electronic device. In this embodiment, the processor is used to run program code stored in the memory or process data, such as program code for a steel plate furnace feeding control method in a heat treatment unit.

[0061] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also discloses a storage medium storing a heat treatment unit steel plate furnace feeding control program, which is used to enable the processor to implement the heat treatment unit steel plate furnace feeding control method as described above when executed.

[0062] The memory includes at least one type of readable storage medium, including flash memory, hard disk, multimedia card, card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory), random access memory (RAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), magnetic memory, disk, optical disk, etc. In some embodiments, the memory may be an internal storage unit of the electronic device, such as the hard disk or RAM of the electronic device. In other embodiments, the memory may also be an external storage device of the electronic device, such as a plug-in hard disk, smart media card (SMC), secure digital (SD) card, flash card, etc. Of course, the memory may include both internal and external storage units of the electronic device. In this embodiment, the memory is typically used to store operating methods and various application software installed on the electronic device, such as program code for the steel plate furnace feeding control method of a heat treatment unit. Furthermore, the memory can also be used to temporarily store various types of data that have been output or will be output.

[0063] The process described above will be explained in detail below with specific examples.

[0064] At the furnace inlet, gratings 1 to 3 are arranged sequentially, a total of 3 gratings, located before entering the furnace. Of course, the arrangement of gratings before entering the furnace is not limited to 3 gratings; it can also be 1 grating, 2 gratings, or 4 gratings, etc. 3 gratings are preferred.

[0065] When the grating detects the presence of steel, it compares the signal with the position information of the steel plate. If the grating is within the steel plate's position area, it is considered normal and the furnace is loaded normally; otherwise, the program outputs an abnormal steel plate position signal and sends a signal to the operator to stop loading into the furnace.

[0066] To prevent unknown steel plates from entering the furnace: Specifically, the grating signal is processed, typically with a 1-second delay; the steel plate is located at this position, and a loop is executed to find a steel plate that meets the following conditions: if the tail position of the steel plate -1000 < the phototube position < the head position of the steel plate +1000, and a steel plate that meets this condition is found, it means that the grating signal is normal, and the normal furnace entry procedure is performed; otherwise, an alarm is triggered: the steel plate signal or grating signal may be abnormal, and the furnace entry is stopped.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention also discloses a method for controlling the tapping of steel plates from a heat treatment unit, comprising the following steps:

[0069] Acquire signals from the detection elements of the steel plates coming out of the furnace;

[0070] When the steel plate detection element detects the presence of steel, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition: the tail position of the steel plate - A ≤ the position of the steel plate detection element ≤ the head position of the steel plate + A, where A is the set allowable deviation value.

[0071] If a steel plate that meets the first condition is found, the search is exited, a normal signal is returned (indicating that the signal of the steel plate detection element is normal), and the furnace exit program is started;

[0072] If no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an abnormal signal is returned, and an alarm is triggered to indicate the abnormality, such as the location of the steel plate or an abnormality in the steel plate detection element, and the furnace is stopped.

[0073] Furthermore, after acquiring the steel presence signal detected by the steel plate detection element, signal processing is performed, and then it is checked whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition. The signal processing is generally a delay of a set time (e.g., 1 second).

[0074] The position information of each steel plate (the head and tail positions of the steel plate) is calculated by the program. For example, the initial position of each steel plate is known, and its position at the corresponding time is obtained by integrating the velocity and time. Of course, this position is theoretical and can be corrected by using a grating.

[0075] Furthermore, the steel plate detection element is arranged before the furnace outlet and close to the furnace outlet.

[0076] Furthermore, the detection element for the steel plates exiting the furnace is a (through-beam grating).

[0077] In some embodiments, the distance between the steel plate detection element and the furnace outlet is set as needed, generally 1 to 3 meters, but not less than 1 meter, that is, the steel plate detection element is located 1 to 3 meters in front of the furnace outlet, but not less than 1 meter. In some embodiments, A is generally 1 to 1.5 meters.

[0078] In some embodiments, there are multiple steel plate detection elements, which are distributed at intervals along the steel plate exiting the furnace. The spacing between adjacent steel plate detection elements is set as needed.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the steel plate detection element detects a steel signal, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition. Specifically, this includes: when the steel plate detection element detects a steel signal, comparing the position information of the steel plate detection element with the position information of each steel plate (which may be the first steel plate to the last steel plate j to be discharged from the heating furnace, or information on all undischarged steel plates, etc.) to check whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition.

[0080] The position information of the detection element for the steel plate being unloaded is compared with the position information of each individual steel plate. Specifically, this involves comparing the position information of the detection element with the position information of each individual steel plate sequentially, from the first steel plate to the last steel plate. The first steel plate refers to the first steel plate to be unloaded.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The position coordinates (numerical values) gradually increase along the transport direction of the steel plate. One end of the steel plate along its transport direction is the head end, and the other end is the tail end.

[0082] In some embodiments, when an alarm is detected, the furnace discharge is stopped and the furnace enters a full-furnace oscillation mode while the furnace feeding is stopped.

[0083] In some embodiments, if no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an abnormal situation is identified, such as whether the steel plate position is abnormal or the steel plate detection element is abnormal. If the steel plate position is abnormal, the steel plate position is corrected. If the steel plate signal is lost, a new steel plate signal is inserted. If the steel plate detection element is abnormal, the detection signal of the steel plate detection element is processed.

[0084] There may be interference, so the detection signal of the steel plate detection element needs to be processed, specifically including: delay processing of the detection signal of the steel plate detection element.

[0085] When determining whether the steel plate position is normal, if the calculated steel plate position is 28000, but the grating at position 29800 is lit, it means that the steel plate position calculation is incorrect, and therefore the steel plate position is abnormal.

[0086] The position of the steel plate is corrected. One embodiment is as follows: if the correction range is within 2m, then the correction is made. For example, 29800-28000=1800mm, which is within 2m, then the position of the steel plate will be corrected to 29800mm.

[0087] In some embodiments, if there is no signal from the steel plate but the grating is lit, it indicates that the signal from the steel plate has been lost.

[0088] In some embodiments, inserting a new steel plate signal specifically includes: inputting the current position, length, thickness, and other signals of the steel plate onto the HMI, and after confirmation, adding a steel plate to the HMI. For example, if there are two steel plates on the HMI, and the operator wants to insert information for a steel plate (in reality, there must be three), the operator needs to input the current position, length, thickness, and other signals of the steel plate onto the HMI, and after confirmation, adding a steel plate to the HMI.

[0089] In some embodiments, after finding a steel plate that meets the first condition, it is also necessary to determine whether the steel plate meets the furnace exit condition. If so, the furnace exit procedure for the steel plate is started.

[0090] When the steel plate is in the correct position, the quenching machine is functioning normally, the water pressure in the quenching machine is normal, the actual water flow rate of the nozzle reaches the set water flow rate, and the furnace exit roller conveyor is operating normally, the steel plate is considered to meet the furnace exit conditions.

[0091] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also discloses a heat treatment unit steel plate tapping control device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a heat treatment unit steel plate tapping control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the heat treatment unit steel plate tapping control program is configured to implement the heat treatment unit steel plate tapping control method as described above.

[0092] In some embodiments, the processor may be a central processing unit (CPU), a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, or other data processing chip. The processor is typically used to control the overall operation of the electronic device. In this embodiment, the processor is used to run program code stored in the memory or process data, such as program code for a steel plate tapping control method in a heat treatment unit.

[0093] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also discloses a storage medium storing a heat treatment unit steel plate tapping control program, which is used to enable the processor to implement the heat treatment unit steel plate tapping control method as described above when executed.

[0094] The memory includes at least one type of readable storage medium, including flash memory, hard disk, multimedia card, card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory), random access memory (RAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), magnetic memory, disk, optical disk, etc. In some embodiments, the memory may be an internal storage unit of the electronic device, such as the hard disk or memory of the electronic device. In other embodiments, the memory may also be an external storage device of the electronic device, such as a plug-in hard disk, smart media card (SMC), secure digital (SD) card, flash card, etc. Of course, the memory may include both internal storage units and external storage devices of the electronic device. In this embodiment, the memory is typically used to store operating methods and various application software installed on the electronic device, such as program code for the steel plate tapping control method of a heat treatment unit. Furthermore, the memory can also be used to temporarily store various types of data that have been output or will be output.

[0095] The process described above will be explained in detail below with specific examples.

[0096] Before exiting the furnace, gratings 1 and 2 are arranged sequentially, a total of two gratings, located in front of the quenching machine at the exit point. Of course, the present invention is not limited to two gratings before exiting the furnace; it can also use one grating or three gratings, etc. Two gratings are preferred.

[0097] When the grating detects a steel signal, it compares it with the position information of the steel plate. If the grating position is within the steel plate's position area, it is considered normal and the steel plate is discharged from the furnace normally. Otherwise, the program outputs a steel plate position abnormality signal and sends a signal to the operator to stop the discharge and enter the full furnace swing mode. The operator then confirms whether the steel plate position or the grating is incorrect. If the steel plate position is incorrect, it is corrected. If the steel plate signal is lost, a new steel plate signal is inserted. If the grating is incorrect, the grating detection signal is processed.

[0098] To prevent unknown steel plates from being discharged from the furnace, the following steps are taken: Grating signal processing, typically with a 1-second delay; Locating the steel plate at this location, executing a loop to find a steel plate that meets the following condition: If the tail position of the steel plate -1000 (e.g., 1 meter, set as needed) < the grating (phototube) position < the head position of the steel plate +1000 (e.g., 1 meter, set as needed), and a steel plate meeting this condition is found, it indicates that the grating signal is normal, and the normal discharge procedure is performed; otherwise, an alarm is triggered indicating that the steel plate signal or grating signal may be abnormal, the discharge is stopped, the entire furnace is oscillated, and feeding into the furnace is stopped.

[0099] The steel plate must meet certain conditions to be discharged from the furnace. Specifically, the steel plate must be in the correct position, the quenching machine must be functioning normally, the water pressure of the quenching machine must be normal, the actual water flow rate of the nozzle must reach the set water flow rate, and the discharge roller conveyor must be operating normally. At this time, the steel plate will be discharged from the furnace normally.

[0100] Example 3

[0101] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a control method for preventing abnormal steel plate output from a heat treatment unit, comprising the following steps:

[0102] Steel plate detection elements are installed before the furnace outlet and before the furnace inlet;

[0103] When any steel plate detection element detects a steel signal, it checks whether there is a steel plate that meets the first condition: the tail position of the steel plate - A ≤ the position of the steel plate detection element ≤ the head position of the steel plate + A, where A is the set allowable deviation value.

[0104] If a steel plate that meets the first condition is found, the search is exited. If the steel plate detection element is for furnace entry detection, the furnace entry procedure is started. If the steel plate detection element is for furnace exit detection, the furnace exit procedure is started.

[0105] If no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an abnormal signal is returned and an alarm is triggered. If the steel plate detection element is for furnace entry detection, the furnace entry procedure is stopped. If the steel plate detection element is for furnace exit detection, the furnace exit procedure is stopped.

[0106] In some embodiments, if no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, and the steel plate detection element is a furnace exit detection element, then the furnace exit is stopped and the furnace enters a full-furnace oscillation mode and the furnace entry is stopped.

[0107] In some embodiments, if no steel plate that meets the first condition is found, an abnormal situation is identified, such as whether the steel plate position is abnormal or the steel plate detection element is abnormal. If the steel plate position is abnormal, the steel plate position is corrected. If the steel plate signal is lost, a new steel plate signal is inserted. If the steel plate detection element is abnormal, the detection signal of the steel plate detection element is processed.

[0108] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also discloses a control device for preventing abnormal steel plate discharge from a heat treatment unit, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a heat treatment unit steel plate charging control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the heat treatment unit steel plate charging control program is configured to implement the control method for preventing abnormal steel plate discharge from the heat treatment unit as described above.

[0109] The process described above will be explained in detail below with specific examples.

[0110] The control method for preventing abnormal steel plate tapping provided by this invention is as follows:

[0111] To prevent unknown steel plates from entering the furnace: Specifically, the following steps are taken: grating signal processing, typically with a 1-second delay; a steel plate is located at this position, and a loop is executed to find a steel plate that meets the following condition: if the tail position of the steel plate -1000 ≤ phototube position ≤ head position of the steel plate +1000, then the grating signal is normal, and the normal furnace entry procedure is performed; otherwise, an alarm is triggered indicating that the steel plate signal or grating signal may be abnormal, and the furnace entry is stopped.

[0112] To prevent unknown steel plates from being discharged from the furnace, the following steps are taken: Grating signal processing, typically with a 1-second delay; the system searches for the steel plate at this location, executing a loop to find a steel plate that meets the following condition: if the tail position of the steel plate -1000 < phototube position < head position of the steel plate +1000, and a steel plate meeting this condition is found, it indicates that the grating signal is normal, and the normal discharge procedure is performed; otherwise, an alarm is triggered indicating that the steel plate signal or grating signal may be abnormal, the discharge is stopped, the entire furnace is oscillated, and feeding into the furnace is stopped.

[0113] The steel plate must meet certain conditions to be discharged from the furnace. Specifically, the steel plate must be in the correct position, the quenching machine must be functioning normally, the water pressure of the quenching machine must be normal, the actual water flow rate of the nozzle must reach the set water flow rate, and the discharge roller conveyor must be operating normally. At this time, the steel plate will be discharged from the furnace normally.

[0114] The invention has shown remarkable effects after its implementation, effectively preventing red-hot steel from being produced from the furnace, greatly improving production efficiency, and making the unit safer and more stable.

[0115] Example 4

[0116] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 This invention provides a control method for a heat treatment unit's injection device, comprising the following steps:

[0117] Obtain the number of steel plates n for the unit (e.g., obtain the total number of steel plates n for the entire heat treatment unit);

[0118] Determine if n is 0;

[0119] If n = 0, then the position of the marker corresponding to the jetting device will be set to the first value;

[0120] If n>0, then start executing the loop: initialize the loop variable i=1, determine whether the position of the i-th steel plate meets the first condition, the first condition is the tail position of the steel plate - B≤ the position of the blowing device≤ the head position of the steel plate + B, where B is the set allowable deviation value (B is set according to actual needs).

[0121] If the position of the i-th steel plate does not meet the first condition, then determine whether i is less than n. If not, then set the position of the marker corresponding to the blowing device as the first value and exit the loop. If yes, then i+1 and continue to determine the next steel plate.

[0122] If the position of the i-th steel plate satisfies the first condition, then the position of the marker corresponding to the blowing device is set to the second value, and the loop ends;

[0123] When the flag corresponding to the blowing device is the second value, the blowing device is controlled to start.

[0124] When the flag corresponding to the blowing device is at the first value, the blowing device is controlled to stop.

[0125] In some embodiments, B is generally the deviation of the operating length, within 500 mm.

[0126] This invention can calculate the position of each steel plate by tracking data blocks. The position information of each steel plate (the head and tail positions of the steel plate) is calculated by a program. For example, the initial position of each steel plate is known, and its position at the corresponding time is obtained by integrating the velocity with time. Of course, this position is theoretical and can be corrected by using a grating.

[0127] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The position value gradually increases along the transport direction of the steel plate. One end of the steel plate along its transport direction is the head end, and the other end is the tail end.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first value is 0, and / or the second value is 1.

[0129] In some embodiments, the control method of the heat treatment unit spraying device of the present invention further includes the following steps: defining each spraying device according to coordinates, specifically including: defining the position coordinates of each spraying device as spray[1..m]:DINT, where m is the number of spraying devices.

[0130] In some embodiments, the control method of the heat treatment unit blowing device of the present invention further includes the following steps: configuring a flag bit and an output point corresponding to each blowing device; when the flag bit corresponding to the blowing device is a second value, the output point corresponding to the blowing device outputs a set signal to control the blowing device to start; when the flag bit corresponding to the blowing device is a first value, the output point corresponding to the blowing device outputs a reset signal to control the blowing device to stop.

[0131] The control method of the heat treatment unit blowing device of the present invention is stable and reliable, and has the characteristics of stability, safety, versatility, reduced investment cost (no need to install grating), high program code execution efficiency, and low resource consumption.

In this embodiment, the memory is typically used to store operating methods and various application software installed on the electronic device, such as program code for the control method of the heat treatment unit's blowing device. Furthermore, the memory can also be used to temporarily store various types of data that have been output or will be output.

[0158] If n = 0, then the number of steel plates at this blowing device position is 0, and the flag bit set_flag[1] = 0;

If this condition is not met, first determine whether i is less than n. If not, exit the loop and set_flag[1]=0. If i is less than n, then i=i+1, and continue to judge the next steel plate.

[0160] If the position of the i-th steel plate satisfies: the tail position of the steel plate -1000 < the shot blasting outlet spray[1] < the head position of the steel plate +1000, then return to the loop and set_flag[1] = 1;

[0161] 3) Control instructions for the shot blasting outlet spray device switch Q1.0:

[0162] If set_flag[1] = 1, that is, Q1.0 is set, that is, the blowing device is started;
