Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an online determination and diagnosis system and method for the deburring quality of a continuous casting machine, belonging to the technical field of electrical control equipment and methods in the metallurgical industry. Background Art

[0002] Modern large-scale slab continuous casting equipment generally uses flame cutting machines to cut the ingot into fixed lengths to meet the rolling process requirements. The slag generated during the cutting process tends to spread to both sides of the lower edge of the cutting seam as it flows with the molten steel, and adheres to the lower surface of the ingot to form burrs. This burr contains a lot of slag components, which are hard and loose, with a rough and uneven surface, and may also contain particles with extremely high hardness. During the subsequent output and entering the next process, this burr may not only cause damage to equipment such as rollers, rollers, such as impact, roller surface scratches, and roller body cracks, but also affect the quality of the rolled material and reduce the yield rate because the slag will be mixed in the head and tail of the hot-rolled steel plate. Therefore, the deburring effect directly affects the surface quality of the ingot.

[0003] The burrs are removed on the lower surface of the ingot. The height of the ingot conveyor roller is 0.7 meters. In the past, it relied on human visual observation. The inspectors needed to bend down and look up from the bottom of the ingot for observation at a close distance. When the ingot moves, the human eyes need to track the head and tail. Occasionally, burrs will fly on site, posing a safety risk of foreign objects entering the eyes. The quality inspection is labor-intensive and 100% quality inspection cannot be achieved.

Example

[0030] After the continuous casting process, the continuous casting slab 3 is cut into certain specifications, and the cutting process is completed by a flame cutting machine. Cutting burrs will be generated at the intersection of the outer arc surface of the continuous casting slab 3 and the flame cutting surface. In the production of the next process, these burrs will cause quite a lot of problems. In order to eliminate these problems, the deburring machine 1 is installed between the two rollers of the roller 2, so as to complete the deburring operation of the continuous casting slab 3 during normal walking. When the head or tail of the continuous casting slab 3 reaches the deburring machine, the roller speed drops to 20m / min. At this time, the rotating knife shaft located at the bottom of the casting first rotates, and then the flying hammer hydraulic cylinder performs a lifting action according to the action instruction of the deburring machine PLC system 11, and the hammer knife knocks off the burrs. During the deburring process, the camera 5 and the sound probe 7 respectively measure the image and audio of the deburring of the head and tail of the continuous casting slab 3, and collect them at high speed through Ethernet. The camera 5 is equipped with a compressed air filter pressure reducing valve 6 and a camera protective cover 4, which is suitable for harsh industrial environments with high temperature and dust. The sound frequency domain and time domain converter 8 uses a microcomputer to transform the sound signal in the frequency domain and time domain. The collected image and sound information are transmitted to the judgment and diagnosis model 10 to judge the quality of the slab deburring. At the same time, the cause of the defect and the countermeasure are analyzed according to the slab deburring defect. Finally, through the deburring machine PLC control system 11, the exchange of the casting information, alarm result information and parameter adjustment data is realized between the judgment and diagnosis model 10 and the continuous casting PLC control system 12.

[0031] The deburring machine PLC control system 11 is SIEMENS S7-300 model. The entire working process is set to automatic working mode. The deburring machine is linked with the billet discharge roller to complete the automatic cycle of deburring. After the operator starts the deburring machine and sets the "remote" state, the machine automatically completes the deburring work at the head and tail of the billet.

[0032] Camera 5 is equipped with 2 million 25 times zoom network all-in-one machine IDS-2ZCN2507N. The camera is connected to the hard disk recorder system and displayed on the monitoring TV in the cutting operation room. Linux microcomputer RK3399 is installed to collect the deburring effect image of the head or tail of the continuous casting slab and perform image analysis and recognition. Image recognition mainly includes image classification, image positioning, image detection, and image segmentation, which ultimately achieves high-precision measurement, ensures fast batch data transmission, simple and easy maintenance and remote diagnosis. It also has a compact installation size.

[0033] The sound probe 7 collects the de-burred striking sound, amplifies the audio signal by about 200 times, and the output audio signal has an adjustable amplitude. A noise elimination resistor is added to suppress the generation of background noise, and the sound signal is transformed in frequency domain and time domain by using an audio-frequency domain time domain converter 8. The audio-frequency domain time domain converter 8 is a Linux microcomputer RK3399.

[0034] The continuous casting PLC control system 12 adopts Siemens S7-400PLC hardware configuration, is connected to the network device 9 (network device 9 is a data high-speed switch) through the transmission mode of industrial Ethernet, is programmed in the PLC system, and uses the communication function block to successfully read the diagnostic information of the deburring effect of the ingot, and transmits the ingot specification information to the judgment diagnosis model 10 in real time, as the basic parameters of the deburring model to participate in the system calculation.

[0035] The normal operation mode of the judgment diagnosis model 10 is: collecting image and sound information, identifying model processing and analysis, judging the quality of the deburring machine, statistically analyzing the deburring removal rate, analyzing the causes and countermeasures of the defects of the deburring machine, automatically analyzing the impact force and impact length of the deburring machine, and the model controls the lifting height of the hydraulic action of the deburring machine according to the type of steel.
