[0002] At present, a single-stand rolling mill is widely used in the aluminum rolling process in an aluminum product production enterprise. As a single-pass rolling mill, the product tensile strength is single, and the tension control is unique in the rolling process, so different tension control cannot be used to improve the product tensile performance according to the material performance. If the tension calculation is not accurate enough in the rolling process, manual intervention is required.

[0035] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the aluminum product single mill tension control method according to the application;

[0036] Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the single mill aluminum rolling mill used in the embodiment of the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to better understand the above technical solutions of the application, the technical solutions of the application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0038] In combination with Figure 1 the application provides an aluminum product single mill tension control method, which is based on the aluminum type, inlet material specification, and target specification in the incoming material raw data, combined with the inlet unit tension and outlet unit tension, and then gives the inlet unit tension adjustment amount and the outlet unit tension adjustment amount according to the aluminum type and the aluminum product type in the incoming material raw data, and finally calculates the inlet tension and outlet tension set values through a calculation formula. The application specifically includes the following steps:

[0039] S1, obtaining historical rolling data of different aluminum products;

[0040] In this step, the historical rolling data of different aluminum products includes aluminum product type, aluminum type, inlet material thickness, inlet material width, product thickness, product width, and single-stand unit tension setting value.

[0041] In the historical rolling data of different aluminum products, the single-stand unit tension setting value is determined according to the aluminum type, and the single-stand unit tension setting value includes stand inlet unit tension and stand outlet unit tension. Specifically, the aluminum type, inlet material thickness, and target thickness in the raw material data must correspond to the aluminum type, inlet material thickness, and target thickness in the historical rolling data to give the inlet unit tension and outlet unit tension.

[0042] S2, obtaining unit tension adjustment amount of different aluminum products according to aluminum product type;

[0043] In this step, the aluminum product type is divided according to annealing conditions, specifically into non-annealed products, annealed products, and prepared annealed products. Different aluminum product types require different unit tension adjustment amounts, specifically as follows:

[0044] When the aluminum product is a non-annealed product, the corresponding unit tension adjustment amount C0 is 0-0.2 kg / mm 2 .

[0045] When the aluminum product is an annealed product, the corresponding unit tension adjustment amount C1 is 0-0.8 kg / mm 2 .

[0046] When the aluminum product is a prepared annealed product, the corresponding unit tension adjustment amount C2 is -0.9-0.1 kg / mm 2 .

[0047] S3, establishing a single-stand tension model;

[0048] Considering that product type, aluminum type, and product specification all have an impact on single-stand tension, such as different aluminum product types, the same aluminum type, and the same specification of materials corresponding to different single-stand tensions, and similarly, different aluminum types, the same product type, and the same specification of materials corresponding to different single-stand tensions. Therefore, a single-stand tension model is established according to the data obtained in steps S1 and S2, and the specific calculation is as follows:

[0049] Tset = (T i +C ni )*W*T

[0050] Wherein, Tset is the single-stand tension; T i , Cni respectively, are the single-stand unit tension setting value and unit tension adjustment value of the i th aluminum product; n is 1 or 2, n = 1 is defined as the stand inlet, and n = 2 is defined as the stand outlet; i is 0-2, and is rounded; C ni is the unit tension adjustment value of the non-annealed product, and C n1 is the unit tension adjustment value of the annealed product, and C n2 is the unit tension adjustment value of the product to be annealed; W is the material width; and T is the material thickness.

[0051] In the single-stand tension model described above, the specific requirements for the single-stand tension are as follows: (1) According to the aluminum type, inlet material thickness, and target thickness in the incoming raw data, the aluminum type, inlet material thickness, and target thickness in the historical rolling data must be corresponded to give the inlet unit tension and outlet unit tension. (2) According to the aluminum type and aluminum product type in the incoming raw data, the corresponding inlet unit tension adjustment value and outlet unit tension adjustment value are given. (3) The inlet tension and outlet tension setting values are calculated in combination with the calculation formula.

[0052] S4, according to the specification of the current aluminum product and the single-stand tension model, the single-stand tension is calculated, and the aluminum product is rolled according to the single-stand tension.

[0053] Considering that the single-stand tension control is divided into stand inlet tension and stand outlet tension control, the single-stand tension model established in combination with the specification of the current aluminum product and step S3 includes the stand inlet tension and stand outlet tension:

[0054] The calculation formula of the stand inlet tension is as follows:

[0055] Tset0 = (Tent + C 1i ) * W1 * T1

[0056] Wherein, Tset0 is the stand inlet tension; Tent is the single-stand inlet unit tension; C 1i is the i th aluminum product inlet unit tension adjustment value; W1 is the inlet material width; and T1 is the inlet material thickness.

[0057] The calculation formula of the stand outlet tension is as follows:

[0058] Tset1 = (Text + C 2i ) * W2 * T2

[0059] Wherein, Tset1 is the stand outlet tension; Text is the single-stand outlet unit tension; C 2i is the i th aluminum product outlet unit tension adjustment value; W2 is the product target width; and T2 is the product target thickness.

[0060] A tension calculation is performed when the aluminum coil is unwound on the unwinder at the entry of the rolling mill, and then the rolling of the aluminum product is performed according to the calculated single stand tension.

[0078] Rack exit tension = (rack exit unit tension + non-annealed aluminum product unit tension adjustment) * product width * product thickness = (3.9 + 0) * 2200 * 1.3 = 11154 kg

[0079] b. Annealed aluminum product

[0080] Rack entry tension = (rack entry unit tension + annealed aluminum product unit tension adjustment) * entry material width * entry material thickness = (2.4 + 0.5) * 2200 * 2.1 = 13398 kg

[0081] Rack exit tension = (rack exit unit tension + annealed aluminum product unit tension adjustment) * product width * product thickness = (3.9 + 0.5) * 2200 * 1.3 = 12584 kg

[0082] c. Prepared annealed aluminum product

[0083] Rack entry tension = (rack entry unit tension + prepared annealed aluminum product unit tension adjustment) * entry material width * entry material thickness = (2.4 + 0) * 2200 * 2.1 = 11088 kg

[0084] Rack exit tension = (rack exit unit tension + prepared annealed aluminum product unit tension adjustment) * product width * exit product thickness = (3.9 - 0.5) * 2200 * 1.3 = 9724 kg
