Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of strip rolling equipment, and particularly relates to an electroplastic shape control roll system with independent control for transverse zoning. Background Art

[0002] Strip shape is an important index for strip quality, and flatness control is an important aspect for improving strip shape quality. Local defects in strip shape are essentially caused by excessive rolling pressure per unit width at corresponding positions in the rolling deformation zone, resulting in an increase in longitudinal elongation of the strip and ultimately buckling instability to generate waviness.

[0003] For traditional cold rolling, the main shape control means include roll bending force, intermediate roll shifting and transverse movement, tilting roll, segmented cooling, large tension rolling, etc. for shape control. However, the effects of bending force and roll shifting on shape control are mainly reflected at the edges, the tilting roll mainly controls the shape wedge, the segmented cooling mainly controls high-order waviness, and it belongs to a near-steady-state regulation process with poor real-time performance. Large tension is beneficial to reducing the rolling force, but has poor fine control ability for local shape. Therefore, with a certain rolling mill structure, the regulation range of conventional shape control means is certain, and its action range in the strip width direction is limited. With the development of sheet rolling towards extremely thin, extremely hard, extremely wide, and center convexity to edge thinning control, complex high-order waves and the coupling phenomenon of flatness and cross-sectional profile regulation are very likely to occur during the production process, and there is an urgent need to develop new shape control means.

[0004] The above-mentioned traditional shape regulation means mainly adjust the rolling pressure in the strip deformation zone by changing the transverse stiffness of the roll gap, the longitudinal tensile stress distribution, etc. In fact, in addition to the transverse distribution of the roll gap and the front and rear tensile stresses, the plastic characteristic parameters of the strip also affect the magnitude of the rolling force in the deformation zone. By changing the yield stress of the strip in the rolling deformation zone, the formability of the material is also changed, so as to change the distribution of the rolling pressure, thereby realizing shape and quality control. In recent years, the electroplastic theory and technology have developed rapidly, but the current traditional current loading device cannot achieve precise and active control of electroplasticity at local positions along the strip width direction, and there is also a lack of a clear and advanced electric control system. Summary of the Invention

[0009] As a further improvement of the above solution, the position of the shock-absorbing rubber sleeve is limited by a key between its outer wall and the inner wall of the insulating ceramic roll sleeve.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above solution, the main circuit includes a power supply, a first multi-way contactor, a second multi-way contactor and a multi-way thermal relay heating coil. The positive pole of the power supply is respectively connected to one end of the first multi-way contactor. The other end of the first multi-way contactor is connected to the conductive rotary joint at one end of the shape control roll mandrel. The negative pole of the power supply is connected to one end of the multi-way thermal relay heating coil. The other end of the multi-way thermal relay heating coil is connected to one end of the second multi-way contactor. The other end of the second multi-way contactor is connected to the conductive rotary joint at the other end of the shape control roll mandrel. The conductive rotary joints at the two ends of the shape control roll mandrel are respectively connected to the corresponding conductive copper rings through insulated wires.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above solution, a multi-way fuse is arranged on the line connecting the positive pole of the power supply and the first multi-way contactor in the main circuit to protect the normal operation of the main circuit.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, the control circuit includes a power supply, a PLC controller, multi-way contactor control coils, multi-way thermal relays, an output circuit fuse, and an input master command button; the pins X000 - X002 of the PLC controller are respectively connected to one ends of SB1 - SB3 in the input master command button, and the other ends of SB1 - SB3 in the input master command button are all connected to the pin COM of the PLC controller; the pin COM0 of the PLC controller is connected to one end of the output circuit fuse, the other end of the output circuit fuse is connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and the pins Y000 - Y00n of the PLC controller are respectively connected to one ends of KM1 - KM n in the multi-way contactor control coils, and the pins Y00(n + 1) - Y00(2n) of the PLC controller are respectively connected to one ends of KM 1a -KM na in the multi-way contactor control coils, one ends of KM 1a -KM na in the multi-way contactor control coils are respectively connected to one ends of KH 1a -KH na in the multi-way thermal relays, and the other ends of KM1 - KM n in the multi-way contactor control coils and the other ends of KH 1a -KH na in the multi-way thermal relays are all connected to the - pole of the power supply.

On the premise of ensuring the system stiffness, a certain pressure is also applied to the strip, thereby ensuring the close contact between the conductive copper ring and the strip during the working process; in addition, this system can be used as a coiling guide roll, a tension measuring roll, a loop roll between stands, etc., with a simple structure, reliable electric control, and fast electroheating speed, which can meet the requirements of online rapid shape regulation, and can be used for the online electroplastic requirements of high-strength and difficult-to-deform metals and near-isothermal rolling strips with a narrow temperature window.

During operation, the strip wraps around the electroplastic shape control roll with a certain wrap angle to ensure close contact between the strip and the conductive copper ring. Utilizing the principle that the resistance between the conductive copper ring - strip - adjacent conductive copper ring is the smallest, the on-off control of each group of independent conductive copper rings is carried out through an external control circuit, so as to achieve the electroheating effect at different positions along the width direction of the strip, change the plastic state of the strip entering the rolling deformation zone, affect the rolling pressure in the deformation zone, and finally achieve the purpose of online shape regulation.

A multi-way fuse 702 is provided on the line connecting the positive pole of the power supply 8 and the first multi-way contactor 701 in the main circuit to protect the normal operation of the main circuit. The power supply 8 is a high-frequency pulse power supply, and its controllable parameters include output voltage, output current, pulse frequency, pulse width, and duty cycle. During operation, the conductive rotary joint 10 at one end of the roll core 1 for shape control is connected to the positive pole of the power supply 8 through a wire, and the conductive rotary joint 10 at the other end is also connected to the negative pole of the power supply 8 through a wire.

During operation, the control circuit should ensure that the two paths connecting the positive and negative poles of the power supply 8 to the same conductive copper ring 6 cannot be connected simultaneously.

[0035] The control circuit includes a power supply 8, a PLC controller 901, a multi-way contactor control coil 902, a multi-way thermal relay 903, an output circuit fuse 904, and an input master button 905; the pins X000 - X002 of the PLC controller 901 are respectively connected to one ends of SB1 - SB3 in the input master button 905, and the other ends of SB1 - SB3 in the input master button 905 are all connected to the pin COM of the PLC controller 901; the pin COM0 of the PLC controller 901 is connected to one end of the output circuit fuse 904, the other end of the output circuit fuse 904 is connected to the positive pole of the power supply 8, and the pins Y000 - Y00n of the PLC controller 901 are respectively connected to KM1 - KM in the multi-way contactor control coil 902 nOne end of it is connected.

Finally, the electroplastic regulation of the strip is realized. The heating coils 704 of the multiple thermal relays in the main circuit affect the on / off of the multiple thermal relays 903 in the control circuit, and then control the temperature of the circuits of each conductive copper ring 2. When the temperature is too high, an open circuit is realized to prevent the circuit and components from being burned due to the long-term high temperature of the circuits of the conductive copper rings 2. The multiple fuses 702 in the main circuit prevent the circuit from short-circuiting or being severely overloaded, and prevent the circuit and components from being burned due to the instantaneous overcurrent of the circuits of the conductive copper rings 2.

[0037] Each conductive copper ring 2 can be independently controlled for on / off, and the power supply 8 can perform real-time control of electrical parameters. During operation, the strip is wrapped around the surface of the laterally partitioned and independently controlled conductive copper rings 2 with a certain wrap angle to ensure good contact between the strip and the surface of the conductive copper rings 2.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not used to limit it.
