Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for correcting the misaligned state of a steel coil during transportation, in particular to a device and method for correcting the misaligned state of a steel coil during the process of the steel coil moving toward a baler on a transport chain, belonging to the technical field of equipment for correcting the misaligned state of a steel coil. Background Art

[0002] The packaging process is the last procedure in the finished product area of ​​the hot-rolled strip steel production line. The main function of hot-rolled strip steel coil packaging is to package the rolled steel coils to avoid loose coils during transportation and protect the steel coils from damage during transportation and storage, so as to ensure normal transportation and sales. The premise of the normal use of the automatic packaging machine is that the center of the inner diameter of the steel coil on the walking beam must be fixed, so that the distance between the center of the inner diameter of the steel coil and the automatic packaging machine can be used to calculate the travel distance of the transport chain, and then complete the packaging work. However, since the hot-rolled production line always maintains production status without special reasons, the weight of the steel coil produced is about 15 to 20 tons, and a walking beam can bear The machine carries 6 steel coils, with a total weight of more than 90 tons, plus its own weight of about 10 tons, and is constantly reciprocating. As the load age increases and the foundation vibrates, the accuracy of the walking beam cannot meet the standard for ensuring the fixed position of the inner diameter center of the steel coil. The inner diameter center position is offset, and the offset can reach ±20mm. As the offsets are superimposed on each other, the landing point of the steel coil on the transport chain is no longer accurate. When the transport chain moves forward as preset, the steel coil cannot move to the designated position of the baler, and the steel coil cannot be normally transported to the designated position of the automatic baler for automatic baling. When the steel coil moves to the baler but the position is incorrect, When the steel coil is in a state of being moved, the on-site staff need to manually adjust the position of the steel coil, and the control panel is set next to the baler. The operator still needs to withstand the high temperature of the steel coil, which not only poses a high safety risk; in addition, the frequency of manual baling is low, which often causes the transportation chain to stop and the production line to stop, seriously affecting the stability and continuity of the hot rolling production line, and causing great pressure on indicators such as production costs and capacity improvement; at the same time, the automatic baler cannot be put into use, which also causes huge waste of resources and economic losses to the enterprise; At present, the solution to the problem of inaccurate steel coil landing point is as follows: a strip steel disclosed in Chinese patent CN202122225176.5 Rapid baling machine, the utility model relates to a rapid baling machine for strip steel, including a fixed frame, a feeding plate, a feeding module, a longitudinal baling mechanism and a transverse baling mechanism. The specific method is to place the circumferential surface of the strip steel horizontally on the feeding module, control the feeding module to slide in the slide groove of the feeding plate, and the feeding module transports the strip steel to the baling processing area. The feeding module cooperates with the baling mechanism to bundle multiple places on the circumferential surface of the strip steel; for example, Chinese patent CN202310835744.4 discloses a roll-up baling device and a baling method. The invention relates to a roll-up baling device and a baling method, which include a baling mechanism, a baling tightening roller mechanism, and a material transfer pressure head mechanism.The strapping mechanism includes a strapping head device, a strapping guide groove of a strapping machine, a strapping head detection rod and a strapping support device of a strapping machine. The strapping head device feeds the strapping into the strapping guide groove of the strapping machine, and the strapping returns to the strapping head device through the strapping guide groove of the strapping machine to form a closed strapping ring. The strapping head device is driven to move relative to the strapping station until it is close to the material roll, and the strapping support device of the strapping machine is driven to press against the surface of the material roll. The strapping head device reverses the strapping wheel to withdraw the strapping so that the strapping ring is tightened and disengaged from the strapping guide groove of the strapping machine. The tightened strapping ring is tightened to the finger on the surface of the material roll under the limiting action of the strapping support device of the strapping machine. Fixed position; the above existing technologies all use a feeding module or a walking beam to transport the steel coil to a fixed packaging position, and only perform packaging operations on the steel coil at the reference position, and do not mention how to deal with the abnormal position of the steel coil that has occurred; therefore, for the abnormal position of the steel coil, such as the problem of deviation in the landing point when the steel coil falls on the transport chain due to the deflection of the walking beam, a correction device and method are needed to correct it before it reaches the packaging machine, thereby ensuring that the packaging machine can smoothly perform packaging operations on the steel coil and ensure the reliable progress of the production schedule.

[0013] A method for correcting the misalignment state of steel coil transportation, comprising the following steps: Under ideal conditions, when the walking beam places the steel coil on the transport chain, there is a preset standard position. The strip steel at the preset standard initial position can be smoothly moved to the specified position of the baler. The axis of the steel coil at the standard position is set as the standard axis. In the initial state, the center line of the center column coincides with the standard axis at the initial position, and the center line of the center column coincides with the axis of the rotating disk. When the transport chain moves, the axis of the steel coil will move accordingly, and its axis will also move synchronously. Step 1: The transport chain does not move before the steel coil is in place. After the walking beam places the steel coil on the transport chain, the winch moves to drive the lifting plate downward, and each electric cylinder extends the piston rod. After the lifting plate is lowered into place, each cylinder retracts the piston rod, so that each long plate clamps the circumferential outer wall of the steel coil. Under the action of the spring, the long plate can reliably touch and press on the circumferential outer wall of the steel coil; then four third infrared rangefinders measure the distance between them and each long plate. Since the center line of the center column coincides with the initial standard axis line, if the data measured by the four third infrared rangefinders are completely consistent, it means that the position of the steel coil at this time has no deviation from the preset position and no correction is required. The winch drives the lifting plate upward to reset, and the cylinder resets. The transport chain resumes normal operation without performing other steps; Step 2: If the data measured by the four third infrared rangefinders are found to be deviated, it means that the position of the steel coil has shifted at this time; the lifting plate is not retracted, the long plate is kept clamping the steel coil, the transport chain is started, and it moves at the preset speed. At this time, the second motor drives the slide plate to move, and also drives the clamping mechanism to move synchronously. Under the action of the first infrared rangefinder, the moving speed of the clamping mechanism is ensured to be consistent with the transport speed of the transport chain; at the same time, the first motor drives the lower slider to move, and under the action of the lower infrared rangefinder, the lifting part and the correction part are ensured to move at the same speed as the transport chain; that is, the axis of the rotating disk always coincides with the center line of the center column and moves synchronously; Step 3: While all parts are moving at the same speed as the conveyor chain, the side hydraulic cylinders of the two lifting mechanisms are actuated to drive the horizontal plate and the sliding column to rise synchronously, lifting the strip. The lifted strip still moves synchronously at the speed of the conveyor chain. Then the lifting hydraulic cylinder is actuated to lift the striking mechanism, extending it into the hollow of the strip. Then the servo motor drives the rotating disk to rotate, and adjusts the direction of the impact cylinder. The actual axis of the strip can be determined based on the position of the four long plates and the data of the third infrared rangefinder. The direction of the impact cylinder is adjusted based on the servo motor driving the rotating disk, so that the extension direction of the piston rod of the impact cylinder is consistent with the direction of the actual axis of the strip pointing to the standard axis of the strip. Then the impact cylinder is started to strike the inner wall of the strip. During this process, the actual axis of the strip keeps approaching the standard axis until the actual axis of the strip coincides with the standard axis. Step 4: Wait until the actual axis of the strip coincides with the standard axis; the lifting hydraulic cylinder resets and retracts the impact cylinder, and the side hydraulic cylinder retracts the sliding column and the horizontal plate to place the steel coil back on the transport chain; then the electric cylinder extends the piston rod, and the winch drives the lifting plate upward. After the lifting plate is reset, the electric cylinder resets; then the first motor and the second motor are controlled to move, driving the slide plate and the lower slide block to reset to the initial position, and realign to the preset standard axis position to wait for the next strip to be in place.

[0014] The present invention enables the positioning following part to reliably follow the synchronous movement of the steel coil on the transport chain through the cooperation of the upper transverse moving part and the lower transverse moving part; furthermore, it provides guidance for the steel coil so that it can move and correct to the correct position; the steel coil is lifted by the lifting part, and then the offset steel coil is corrected by the correcting part so that the position of the steel coil can coincide with the preset standard position; the lifting part can reduce the friction force that needs to be overcome when the steel coil moves, so that it can move and correct better.

[0028] The steps of the present invention are as follows: Under ideal conditions, when the walking beam places the steel coil on the transport chain 1, there is a preset standard position. The strip steel at the preset standard initial position can be smoothly moved to the specified position of the baler. The axis line of the steel coil at the standard position is set as the standard axis line; the signal output end of the walking beam is connected to the signal input end of the CPU. After the walking beam puts down the steel coil, the CPU knows that the steel coil has been put down; the signal output end of the transport chain is connected to the signal input end of the CPU, and the CPU can know the movement of the transport chain in real time.

[0029] In the initial state, the center line of the center column 26 coincides with the standard axis line at the initial position, and the center line of the center column 26 coincides with the axis line of the rotating disk 14; when the transport chain 1 moves, the axis line of the steel coil will move accordingly, and its axis line will also move synchronously; before the steel coil enters the baler, the position of the center column 26 is always kept above the standard axis line; Step 1: The transport chain 1 does not move before the steel coil is in place. After the walking beam places the steel coil on the transport chain 1, the winch 25 moves to drive the lifting plate 24 downward, and each electric cylinder 28 extends the piston rod. After the lifting plate 24 is lowered into place, each cylinder retracts the piston rod, so that each long plate 30 clamps the circumferential outer wall of the steel coil. Under the action of the spring, the long plate 30 can reliably contact and press on the circumferential outer wall of the steel coil; then the four third infrared rangefinders 27 measure the distance between them and each long plate 30. Since the center line of the center column 26 coincides with the initial standard axis line, if the data measured by the four third infrared rangefinders 27 are completely consistent, it means that the position of the steel coil at this time has no deviation from the preset position and does not need to be corrected. The winch 25 drives the lifting plate 24 to reset upward, and the cylinder is reset. The transport chain 1 resumes normal operation without performing other steps. Step 2: If the data measured by the four third infrared rangefinders 27 are found to be deviated, it means that the position of the steel coil has shifted at this time; the lifting plate 24 is not retracted, the long plate 30 is kept clamping the steel coil, the transport chain 1 is started, and it moves at a preset speed. At this time, the second motor 20 drives the slide plate 19 to move, and also drives the clamping mechanism to move synchronously. Under the action of the first infrared rangefinder 22, the moving speed of the clamping mechanism is ensured to be consistent with the transport speed of the transport chain 1; at the same time, the first motor 5 drives the lower slider 4 to move, and under the action of the lower infrared rangefinder 2, the lifting part and the correction part are ensured to move at the same speed as the transport chain 1; that is, the axis of the rotating disk 14 always coincides with the center line of the center column 26, and moves synchronously and at the same speed with the transport chain; Step 3: In the process of each part moving at the same speed as the conveyor chain 1, the side hydraulic cylinders 9 of the two lifting mechanisms are actuated to drive the horizontal plate 10 and the sliding column 8 to rise synchronously, and lift the strip steel. The lifted strip steel still moves synchronously at the speed of the conveyor chain 1, and then the lifting hydraulic cylinder is actuated to lift the striking mechanism so that it extends into the hollow of the strip steel. Then the servo motor drives the rotating disk 14 to rotate, and adjusts the direction of the impact cylinder 15. The actual axis line position of the strip steel at this time can be known according to the position of the four long plates 30 and the data of the third infrared rangefinder 27. The direction of the impact cylinder 15 is adjusted according to the servo motor driving the rotating disk 14, so that the extension direction of the piston rod of the impact cylinder 15 is consistent with the direction of the actual axis line of the strip steel pointing to the standard axis line of the strip steel, and then the impact cylinder 15 is started to strike the inner wall of the strip steel. In this process, the actual axis line of the strip steel constantly approaches the standard axis line until the actual axis line of the strip steel coincides with the standard axis line. Step 4: Wait until the actual axis of the strip coincides with the standard axis; the lifting hydraulic cylinder resets and retracts the impact cylinder 15, and the side hydraulic cylinder 9 retracts the slide column 8 and the horizontal plate 10, and the steel coil is placed back on the transport chain 1; then the electric cylinder 28 extends the piston rod, and at the same time the winch 25 drives the lifting plate 24 upward, and after the lifting plate 24 is reset, the electric cylinder 28 is reset; then the first motor 5 and the second motor 20 are controlled to move, driving the slide plate 19 and the lower slide block 4 to reset to the initial position, and realign to the preset standard axis position to wait for the next strip to be in place.

10. A method for correcting misalignment of steel coil transportation according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The steps include: Under ideal conditions, when the walking beam places the steel coil on the transport chain (1), there is a preset standard position, and the steel strip at the preset standard initial position can be smoothly moved to the designated position of the baler, and the axis of the steel coil at the standard position is assumed to be the standard axis; in the initial state, the center line of the center column (26) coincides with the standard axis at the initial position, and the center line of the center column (26) coincides with the axis of the rotating disk (14); when the transport chain (1) moves, the axis of the steel coil moves accordingly, and its axis also moves synchronously; Step 1: The transport chain (1) does not move before the steel coil is in place. After the walking beam places the steel coil on the transport chain (1), the winch (25) moves to drive the lifting plate (24) downward, and each electric cylinder (28) extends a piston rod. After the lifting plate (24) is lowered into place, each cylinder retracts the piston rod, so that each long plate (30) clamps the circumferential outer wall of the steel coil. Under the action of the spring, the long plate (30) can reliably contact and press on the circumferential outer wall of the steel coil. Then, the four third infrared rangefinders (27) measure the distance between themselves and each long plate (30). Since the center line of the center column (26) coincides with the initial standard axis line, if the data measured by the four third infrared rangefinders (27) are completely consistent, it means that the position of the steel coil at this time has no deviation from the preset position and no correction is required. The winch (25) drives the lifting plate (24) to reset upward, and the cylinder is reset. The transport chain (1) resumes normal operation without performing other steps. Step 2: If the data measured by the four third infrared rangefinders (27) are found to be deviated, it means that the position of the steel coil has shifted at this time; the lifting plate (24) is not retracted, the long plate (30) is kept clamping the steel coil, the transport chain (1) is started, and it moves at a preset speed. At this time, the second motor (20) drives the slide plate (19) to move, and also drives the clamping mechanism to move synchronously. Under the action of the first infrared rangefinder (22), it is ensured that the moving speed of the clamping mechanism is consistent with the transport speed of the transport chain (1); at the same time, the first motor (5) drives the lower slider (4) to move. Under the action of the lower infrared rangefinder (2), it is ensured that the lifting part and the correction part keep moving at the same speed as the transport chain (1); that is, the axis of the rotating disk (14) always keeps an overlap with the center line of the center column (26) and moves synchronously; Step 3: While all parts are moving at the same speed as the conveyor chain (1), the side hydraulic cylinders (9) of the two lifting mechanisms are actuated to drive the horizontal plate (10) and the slide column (8) to rise synchronously, thereby lifting the steel strip. The lifted steel strip still moves synchronously at the speed of the conveyor chain (1). Then, the lifting hydraulic cylinder is actuated to lift the striking mechanism so that it extends into the hollow of the steel strip. Then, the servo motor drives the rotating disk (14) to rotate and adjust the direction of the striking cylinder (15). The actual axis of the steel strip can be determined based on the positions of the four long plates (30) and the data of the third infrared rangefinder (27). The direction of the striking cylinder (15) is adjusted based on the servo motor driving the rotating disk (14) so ​​that the extending direction of the piston rod of the striking cylinder (15) is consistent with the direction of the actual axis of the steel strip pointing to the standard axis of the steel strip. Then, the striking cylinder (15) is started to strike the inner wall of the steel strip. During this process, the actual axis of the steel strip continuously approaches the standard axis until the actual axis of the steel strip coincides with the standard axis. Step 4: After the actual axis of the steel strip coincides with the standard axis; the lifting hydraulic cylinder is reset to retract the impact cylinder (15), and the side hydraulic cylinder (9) retracts the slide column (8) and the horizontal plate (10), and the steel coil is placed back on the transport chain (1); then the electric cylinder (28) extends the piston rod, and at the same time the winch (25) drives the lifting plate (24) upward, and after the lifting plate (24) is reset, the electric cylinder (28) is reset; then the first motor (5) and the second motor (20) are controlled to operate, driving the slide plate (19) and the lower slide block (4) to reset to the initial position, realigning to the preset standard axis position and waiting for the next steel strip to be in place.
