[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0035] As shown in Figs. 1-3

[0036] A method for preventing quality defects of the edge of hot-rolled strip steel,

[0037] In the main process of hot continuous rolling production, the slab is heated in a heating furnace, descaled by high-pressure water, rough-rolled, finished-rolled by a finishing mill, laminarly cooled, and coiled by a coiler. The specific process flow is as follows:

[0038] After the slab is heated to the set slab discharge temperature in the heating furnace, the slab is lifted by a tundish and placed on the discharge roller way of the heating furnace. The discharged slab is conveyed by the roller way to the high-pressure water descaling box, and the surface scale of the slab is removed by high-pressure water. Then, the slab is reversibly rolled by the rough rolling mill in five to seven passes to form an intermediate slab with a thickness of 30mm to 50mm. The intermediate slab after the rough rolling mill is sent to the finishing mill area by the roller way. Before entering the finishing mill, the intermediate slab is first cut by the flying shear to remove the head and tail of the intermediate slab. The flying shear is provided with a pre-cutting side guide, which plays a role of centering before the intermediate slab enters the finishing mill. After the head and tail are cut, the intermediate slab is sent to the finishing mill to remove the secondary scale by the high-pressure water descaling box, and then continuously rolled by the seven racks of the finishing mill. Before each rack of the finishing mill, there is a side guide 1, which is position-controlled and set with different opening values according to different widths of the strip steel. The side guide plays a role of correcting the deviation of the rolled piece during rolling. The intermediate slab is rolled into a finished strip steel by the finishing mill. The hot-rolled strip steel is cooled to the set coiling temperature by the laminar cooling system with an appropriate cooling system. The strip steel is sent to the coiler by the hot discharge roller way, and then sequentially passes through the coiling side guide 1, the pinch roll, the coiling assisting roll, and the winding drum to be coiled into a steel coil.

[0039] The reasons for the head and tail side bending of the hot-rolled strip steel include:

[0040] ​Uneven deformation in hot rolling process: In the process of hot continuous rolling, the strip steel is subjected to multiple passes of rolling. Uneven deformation may occur due to uneven temperature distribution, uneven rolling force, etc., resulting in head and tail side bending.

[0041] Equipment precision problem: Large deviation in control precision of side guide plate 1 leads to equipment precision decline, which may cause uneven deformation in the rolling process, and further cause head and tail side bending of the strip steel.

[0042] The slab coming out of the heating furnace may have some unevenness or bending in itself. This initial state may be amplified or retained in the subsequent rolling process.

[0043] In the continuous rolling process, the strip steel may develop complex internal stress distribution, especially in the head and tail parts. These stresses may cause the strip steel to bend sideways after leaving the rolling mill.

[0044] From the heating furnace to the various passes of rolling, the temperature distribution of the strip steel may not be uniform, especially the head and tail parts may have a temperature difference from the middle part. This may cause uneven shrinkage during cooling, causing side bending.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, the side bending of the head and tail of the strip steel is a difficult problem to completely avoid. Therefore, in order to control and reduce the negative effects of side bending, the present embodiment adopts various means for the side guide plate 1 to prevent the quality defects of the edge of the hot-rolled strip steel caused by abnormal scraping of the edge of the hot-rolled strip steel with the side guide plate 1.

[0046] Firstly, the abnormal scraping of the edge of the hot-rolled strip steel with the side guide plate 1 occurs mostly in the pre-cut side guide plate and the pre-finished side guide plate;

[0047] Since the opening degree of the side guide plate 1 remains fixed, when the head and tail of the strip steel bend sideways, the side guide plate 1 cannot effectively adapt to the actual position and shape of the strip steel. At this time, the side guide plate 1 cannot guide normally, the strip steel may run off, increasing the risk of abnormal contact with the side guide plate 1; even the head and tail of the side-bent strip steel may directly impact the side guide plate 1, not only causing damage to the edge of the strip steel, but also reducing the equipment precision of the side guide plate 1.

[0048] Therefore, the three-section independent control mode of the pre-cut side guide plate is: along the direction of strip steel transmission, the opening degree of the first head side guide plate, the opening degree of the first middle side guide plate, and the opening degree of the first tail side guide plate are independently set according to the requirements.

[0049] The two sides of the pre-cut side guide plate adopt gear and rack type transmission structure, and the gear and rack type transmission structures on both sides are controlled by the same oil cylinder. The three-section position control setting range is ±150mm.

[0050] The three-section independent control mode of the pre-cut side guide plate opening degree specifically includes:

[0051] Head setting: before the strip enters the flying shear, the opening = base opening - X1;

[0052] Middle setting: after the strip is bitten by the finishing mill F1, the opening = base opening - X2;

[0053] Tail setting: before the strip tail is 2 meters away from the flying shear, the opening = base opening - X3;

[0054] Wherein: X1 < X2, X3 < X2.

[0055] The finishing mill equipment of the hot-rolled strip includes F1-Fn. n There are n finishing mills, and n is a natural number greater than 1. Each finishing mill adopts a three-section independent control mode, and the opening of the side guide plate 1 of the lower side finishing mill is smaller than that of the upper side finishing mill along the strip transmission direction.

[0056] For the finishing mill F1, i i is a natural number from 1 to n; and the opening of the side guide plate 1 is specifically:

[0057] The head setting of the finishing mill F1, i before the strip enters the finishing mill F1, i , the opening = base opening - Y; i1

[0058] The middle setting of the finishing mill F1, i after the strip is bitten by the finishing mill F1, i , the opening = base opening - Y; i2

[0059] The tail setting of the finishing mill F1, i after the strip is thrown by the finishing mill F1, i , the opening = base opening - Y; i3

[0060] Wherein: Y i1 < Y i2 , Y i3 < Y i2 .

[0061] The first oil cylinder is used to control the operation side of the finishing mill side guide plate, the second oil cylinder is used to control the transmission side of the finishing mill side guide plate; the three-section control is set respectively for the two sides, and the setting range is ±50mm.

[0062] In this embodiment: n = 7,

[0063] The head opening of the side guide plate before the shearing = base opening - 10mm, the middle opening = base opening - 40mm, and the tail opening = base opening - 10mm;

[0064] ​​​The head side guide plate of the F1 rack head sets the head opening degree = basic opening degree - 20mm, the middle opening degree = basic opening degree - 40mm, and the tail opening degree = basic opening degree - 35mm.

[0065] The head side guide plate of the F2 rack head sets the head opening degree = basic opening degree - 20mm, the middle opening degree = basic opening degree - 35mm, and the tail opening degree = basic opening degree - 30mm.

[0066] The head side guide plate of the F3 rack head sets the head opening degree = basic opening degree - 20mm, the middle opening degree = basic opening degree - 35mm, and the tail opening degree = basic opening degree - 30mm.

[0067] The head side guide plate of the F4 rack head sets the head opening degree = basic opening degree - 20mm, the middle opening degree = basic opening degree - 35mm, and the tail opening degree = basic opening degree - 30mm.

[0068] The head side guide plate of the F5 rack head sets the head opening degree = basic opening degree - 20mm, the middle opening degree = basic opening degree - 35mm, and the tail opening degree = basic opening degree - 25mm.

[0069] The head side guide plate of the F6 rack head sets the head opening degree = basic opening degree - 20mm, the middle opening degree = basic opening degree - 30mm, and the tail opening degree = basic opening degree - 25mm.

[0070] The head side guide plate of the F7 rack head sets the head opening degree = basic opening degree - 20mm, the middle opening degree = basic opening degree - 25mm, and the tail opening degree = basic opening degree - 15mm.

[0071] In the embodiment, the width of the strip steel is 1500mm, and the basic opening degree of the side guide plate before shearing and the side guide plate of the finishing mill = strip steel width + 80mm = 1580mm.

[0072] In order to ensure the effect of the three-section control of the side guide plate 1, the equipment maintenance and precision control are further strengthened from the following three aspects in the embodiment:

[0073] The wear degree of the side guide plate 1 is detected in real time or at a fixed time, and when the wear degree of the side guide plate 1 exceeds the wear threshold, the side guide plate 1 lining plate is replaced; otherwise, the side guide plate 1 lining plate is not replaced; so as to ensure the working precision of the side guide plate 1.

[0074] The oil cylinder pin shaft frame amount of the side guide plate 1 is detected in real time or at a fixed time, and when the oil cylinder pin shaft frame amount of the side guide plate 1 exceeds the frame amount threshold, the oil cylinder pin shaft frame amount is processed; otherwise, it is not processed; so as to improve the equipment precision and ensure the normal work of the side guide plate 1.

[0075] The center line of the side guide plate 1 is calibrated, and according to the wear condition of the side guide plate 1, the center line of the side guide plate 1 is offset to the transmission side or the operation side based on the center line of the housing; in specific production, according to the corresponding relationship between the wear condition of the side guide plate 1 and the offset, the rolling center line is offset to the side with more serious wear by 0-20 mm based on the center line of the housing.

[0076] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
