Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of continuous casting and rolling production, and in particular to a method for calculating the temperature drop of a slab in a casting and rolling connection process embedded in a scheduling plan. Background Art

[0002] The hot delivery and hot charging process of ingots is a production process that uses the heat of ingots after cutting and closely connects with the rolling process with corresponding measures. Compared with cold charging, hot delivery and hot charging of ingots has the advantages of saving energy, improving the yield rate, saving metal consumption, improving product quality, simplifying the production process, etc., which is of great significance to promoting the development of steel production towards continuous, low-cost, high-quality and high-efficiency. However, due to the harsh environment such as noise, exhaust gas and high temperature near the ingot stack in the ingot warehouse, it is almost impossible for the staff to carry out temperature testing of the ingots. In addition, when formulating the scheduling plan, the key parameter of the ingot temperature cannot be referred to, resulting in major defects in the plan formulation, which directly affects the level of hot delivery and hot charging of ingots. The defective plan will cause surface defects of ingot red delivery cracks, mixed loading of hot and cold ingots, increased gas consumption, waste of heat of ingots after cutting, and increased oxidation and burning of ingots, which are not conducive to energy saving and consumption reduction, resulting in a large waste of manpower and material resources.

[0003] Since the actual effect of hot delivery and hot loading of billets is mainly affected by the scheduling plan, it is generally believed that improving the scheduling plan is the key to improving the level of hot delivery and hot loading of billets, reducing energy loss and billet quality defects. To achieve this goal, the temperature of each billet in the billet warehouse must first be obtained through temperature calculation methods to greatly reduce the occurrence of unreasonable phenomena such as mixed cold and hot loading.

[0004] Some researchers have proposed using integer programming models or spatiotemporal network models to improve the regularity of billet stacking. In existing domestic public reports, Chinese patent CN201410307353.6 proposes a control method for hot rolling preparation in a billet warehouse, which optimizes the scheduling plan by making decisions on the extraction order of billets in the same batch plan, thereby reducing the amount of stacking and preparation time, but the patent does not involve optimizing the scheduling plan from the perspective of billet temperature; similarly, Chinese patent CN20211035454.8 proposes a billet feeding control method and device, which exchanges the positions of each billet in the current billet feeding sequence, takes the billet feeding sequence with the highest feeding efficiency as the optimal slab feeding sequence, and controls the overhead crane to perform slab feeding operations according to the sequence, but the patent does not mention calculating the billet temperature and embedding it into the scheduling plan.

[0005] Chinese patent CN202311047493.X proposes a finishing method and system for improving hot delivery and hot loading of ingots. The online heat inspection system of the ingot is used to identify whether the ingot has defects and the location of the defects, and different furnace flow directions are set for different ingots, in order to improve the hot delivery and hot loading rate. The method has a few similarities with the present invention, but the online heat inspection system of the patent cannot obtain the accurate temperature field of the ingot. Its main purpose is to detect surface defects of the ingot. The online heat inspection system is only used to identify surface defects of the ingot, which is fundamentally different from the temperature drop calculation method of the ingot in the casting and rolling connection process embedded in the scheduling plan.

[0006] Chinese patent CN116237374A proposes a method for hot charging and hot delivery of a heating furnace based on temperature simulation of the billet transportation process. It requires the formulation of a rolling plan twice, which is cumbersome and affects work efficiency. Moreover, the hot rolling plan and temperature calculation module of this patent are separated, and the integrity of the steel plant operating system is not improved. In addition, this patent can only predict the billet temperature, but cannot calculate the billet temperature in real time, resulting in inaccurate calculation results. At the same time, this patent does not provide a specific heat transfer model construction and the corresponding specific boundary condition formulas and parameters, nor does it provide methods and ideas for reducing the quality defect problem of red delivery cracks in billets.

[0007] In summary, there is currently a lack of an effective, reliable and comprehensive method to improve the level of hot delivery and hot loading of hot rolled ingots, in order to address the problems of low feeding efficiency of hot rolled ingots, mixed hot and cold loading in the heating furnace, and heat loss of ingots after cutting. Summary of the invention

After the calculation is completed, calculate the temperature information of the next ingot until all the ingot temperature information is calculated. Store the calculation results and calculate the temperature information of the ingot at the next moment until the operator terminates the calculation or the calculation time coincides with the current time.

This method can be directly applied under existing production conditions, with low transformation cost, and has a good improvement effect on the hot rolling billet feeding method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Hot delivery and hot charging of ingots has become an important measure for energy conservation and consumption reduction in steel enterprises, with many advantages, but the accompanying prominent problem is that when many important steel grades are hot charged, the crack rate on the surface of the steel plate increases significantly, and surface cracks become an important problem that troubles production and quality. This problem is mainly related to the temperature of the ingot when it is hot charged. In order to avoid the quality problem of red delivery cracks, the operators of the factory now cool down the ingots. However, since they do not know the temperature information of the ingots, they often choose to stack the steel grades that are prone to red cracks for too long, which will not only lead to the loss of heat energy contained in these ingots, reduce the hot charging rate of the steel plant, increase energy consumption, but also lead to excessive occupation of the ingot warehouse area. The heat transfer model of the whole process of ingots constructed by this method can calculate the temperature of the ingots in real time, and can predict the time when the ingots meet the hot charging conditions, so that the ingots can be hot charged in the state of minimum heat energy loss when they meet the hot charging conditions, thereby reducing the heat loss caused by too long stacking time, and can also improve the hot charging rate of the steel plant, reduce the occupation time of the ingot warehouse area, and further improve the hot rolling ingot feeding method.

[0033] In terms of setting boundary conditions, this application sets boundary conditions suitable for model solving for each sub-model. Among them, the mathematical model of the stacking process is more specific and accurate in setting boundary conditions. Different boundary conditions are used according to the specific position of the ingot in the stack, making the calculation closer to the actual situation, thereby ensuring more accurate temperature calculation.

[0034] For the same control equation, different boundary conditions will lead to different results, so the boundary conditions must be selected reasonably. The actual billet warehouse consists of storage space, billets, and transportation tools such as clamp cranes, cross-cars, and roller tables. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the billet logistics in the billet warehouse is implemented by a variety of facilities and equipment. In actual production, there are a lot of cumbersome logistics operation scheduling and planning management, and there are many heat transfer situations in this process. It is more reasonable to apply different boundary conditions for each situation, that is, to study the heat transfer process of the billet under variable boundary conditions. There are many flow directions of the billet from flame cutting to entering the heating furnace. Under the same conditions, billets with different flow directions will have different thermal histories, resulting in different properties of the billet. After clarifying the flow direction, the billet temperature can be numerically simulated according to the flow direction, that is, applying different boundary conditions to the billet at different links in the flow direction can improve the accuracy of numerical simulation. Therefore, it is necessary to sort out all important flow directions from flame cutting to entering the heating furnace.

[0035] In this technical solution, important flows include qualified flows, flows that need machine cleaning, flows to be inspected, and flows in special situations. Heat transfer links include roller conveyor links, clamp crane conveyor links, transverse vehicle conveyor links, cross-car conveyor links, pallet conveyor links, and stacking links.

[0036] Step S120: Establish a heat transfer model for the entire process of the casting according to the flow direction and links sorted out above. The model consists of six sub-models: the mathematical model of the roller conveyor process, the mathematical model of the clamp crane conveyor process, the mathematical model of the transverse vehicle conveyor process, the mathematical model of the cross-car conveyor process, the mathematical model of the pallet conveyor process, and the mathematical model of the stacking process. Among them, the mathematical model of the stacking process adopts different boundary conditions for the specific position of the casting in the stack, so as to be closer to the actual situation and make the temperature calculation more accurate.

[0037] In a feasible implementation method, combined with the actual production conditions, the process from flame cutting to entering the heating furnace to cast the billet can be summarized into 8 flows. These 8 summarized flows are in line with the actual production conditions of most companies and have promotion and application value, including: In the qualified flow, without passing through the transverse transfer vehicle, the flow is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → pallet stacking → clamp crane transport → 1 / 2 span stacking → clamp crane transport → pallet stacking → roller conveyor → heating furnace.

[0038] In the qualified flow, under the condition of passing the transverse transfer vehicle, the flow direction is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → transverse transfer vehicle → roller conveyor → pallet stacking → clamp crane transport → 1 / 2 span stacking → clamp crane transport → pallet stacking → roller conveyor → heating furnace.

[0039] Under the condition that the flow direction needs to be machine-cleaned and is qualified after machine cleaning, the flow direction is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → transverse transfer vehicle → flame cleaning → roller conveyor → pallet stacking → 3-span stacking → clamp crane transport → cross-span vehicle transport → 1 / 2-span stacking → clamp crane transport → pallet stacking → roller conveyor → heating furnace.

[0040] If the product needs to be machine cleaned and still fails to meet the standards after machine cleaning, the flow direction is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → transverse transfer vehicle → flame cleaning → roller conveyor → needs to be cooled to room temperature for manual cleaning.

[0041] The flow direction to be inspected is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → needs to be cooled to room temperature for manual inspection.

[0042] In the special case flow, under the condition of cross-feeding, that is, 3 / 4 of the caster material is placed in model 2250 and needs to be poured into the corresponding stack, the flow direction is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → stacking table → clamp crane transport → 1 / 2 span close to 3 / 4 caster stack → clamp crane transport → 1 / 2 span close to 1 / 2 caster stack → clamp crane transport → stacking table → roller conveyor → heating furnace.

[0043] In the special case flow, under the condition of cross-feeding, that is, 1 / 2 of the casting machine material is placed on model 1580 and needs to be poured into the corresponding stack, the flow direction is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → stacking table → clamp crane transport → 1 / 2 span close to 1 / 2 casting machine stack → clamp crane transport → 1 / 2 span close to 3 / 4 casting machine stack → clamp crane transport → stacking table → roller conveyor → heating furnace.

[0044] In the special flow situation, under the condition of cross-feeding, that is, the material is placed in the 3 / 4 span and needs to be poured to the 1 / 2 span, the flow direction is: flame cutting → roller conveyor → deburring → roller conveyor → numbering → roller conveyor → pallet stacking → clamp crane transport → 3 / 4 span stacking → clamp crane transport → cross-span vehicle transport → 1 / 2 span stacking → clamp crane transport → pallet stacking → roller conveyor → heating furnace.

[0045] It should be noted that the numerical heat transfer method in the process of establishing the heat transfer model of the whole process of casting adopts the finite difference method, and the partial differential equations of the six sub-models are discretized to obtain the discretized equation group about the casting temperature, and then the Gauss-Seidel iteration method is used to solve the discretized equation group.

[0046] The whole process heat transfer model of the casting billet constructed by this method can calculate the casting billet temperature in real time and provide a real-time temperature basis for the scheduling plan.

[0047] Step S200: Calculate the temperature of the casting billet in real time according to the heat transfer model of the entire casting process to obtain the temperature information of the casting billet; Further, step S200 includes: Step S210: obtaining temperature calculation data according to the heat transfer model of the entire casting process, the temperature calculation data including: the first moment and the casting information; Step S220: Calculate the temperature information of the first ingot at the first moment based on the environmental parameters. After the calculation is completed, calculate the temperature information of the next ingot until all the ingot temperature information is calculated. Store the calculation results and calculate the temperature information of the ingot at the next moment until the operator terminates the calculation or the calculation time coincides with the current time.

[0048] Real-time calculation flow chart Figure 4 As shown. First, the calculation starts at the first moment, and the temperature calculation starts from the first billet in the scheduling system. The temperature calculation module calls the corresponding heat transfer model and boundary conditions according to the read parameters to calculate the temperature information. After completing the calculation of one billet, switch to the next billet to continue the calculation, and read the information of the next billet at the same time. Repeat this process until the temperature calculation of the last billet in the scheduling system is completed. Then store the calculation results and enter the calculation of the next second. This process continues until the operator terminates the calculation or the calculation time is consistent with the actual time. Based on the above calculation steps, the temperature of all billets in the scheduling system can be calculated one by one, and the temperature information of each billet at different times can be obtained, and the calculation results can be stored. This process can continue.

[0049] It should be noted that the cut billets maintain high temperature for a considerable period of time, and a large amount of complex heat exchange will be carried out between each other. To ensure the accuracy of the calculation, in the temperature information calculation process, when some billets complete the cutting process and start to be transported, or when the billets are sent to the heating furnace for heating, the corresponding data needs to be transferred from the billet warehouse centralized control system to the temperature calculation module. In this application, the constructed billet full-process heat transfer model can not only calculate the billet temperature in real time, provide real-time temperature basis for the scheduling plan, but also simulate and predict the temperature of the billet in the billet warehouse.

[0050] In addition, the full-process heat transfer model of the billet constructed in this application can obtain the real-time temperature of the billet by calculating the heat transfer model. If the temperature of the billet is calculated to be in the temperature range of the hot delivery defect of the red delivery crack corresponding to this steel grade, it will be reminded that the billet cannot be hot-charged, and the time when the billet meets the hot charging conditions can be predicted by simulation. Based on the calculation of the billet temperature information, the occurrence of red crack quality defects can be greatly reduced by the reminder and prediction method.

[0051] It should be noted that the cut ingots maintain high temperature for a considerable period of time, and a large amount of complex heat exchange takes place between each other. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation, in the process of temperature information calculation, when some ingots have completed the cutting process and started to be transported, or when the ingots are sent to the heating furnace for heating, the corresponding data needs to be transferred from the ingot warehouse centralized control system to the temperature calculation module to ensure the accuracy of the calculation.

[0052] (twenty three); In formula (23), λ is the thermal conductivity; is the time step; is the spatial step length in the x direction, is the spatial step in the y direction; h is the convection heat transfer coefficient of the left node of the material; C is the specific heat capacity of the material.

[0053] In view of the characteristics of the ingot, this application adopts a two-dimensional orthogonal grid system, utilizes the heat transfer equation of formula (23), and adopts the finite difference method. The relationship between the grid size and time satisfies the stability condition, thereby ensuring that the calculation of the ingot temperature from cutting to entering the heating furnace is stable and convergent.

[0054] The calculation of the temperature of the ingot is stable from the stage after cutting to the stage before entering the heating furnace. Considering the characteristics of the ingot, a two-dimensional orthogonal grid system is used, the heat transfer equation uses the finite difference method, and the relationship between the grid size and time meets the stability condition, so the calculation is stable and convergent.

[0055] In the process of casting and rolling connection embedded in the scheduling plan, the temperature drop calculation method of the ingot is fast. Under the premise of meeting the stability conditions, the number of grids can be minimized to reduce the amount of calculation, and finally the calculation time can be reduced, making the temperature drop calculation method of the ingot embedded in the scheduling plan fast and efficient.

[0056] In addition, the temperature drop calculation method of the billet during the casting and rolling connection process embedded in the scheduling plan is also accurate. Based on the sorted flow directions and links, a full-process heat transfer model for the billet was established. The full-process heat transfer model consists of the following six sub-models: 1. Mathematical model of roller conveyor process; 2. Mathematical model of clamp crane conveyor process; 3. Mathematical model of transverse vehicle conveyor process; 4. Mathematical model of cross-carriage conveyor process; 5. Mathematical model of pallet conveyor process; 6. Mathematical model of stacking process.

[0057] The control equations satisfied by the above six mathematical sub-models are as follows: (twenty four); In formula (24), λ is the thermal conductivity; is the time step; is the spatial step length in the x direction; is the spatial step length in the y direction; h is the convective heat transfer coefficient of the material; is the density of the material; C is the specific heat capacity of the material; ∂ is the partial differential symbol; T is the temperature of the material.

[0058] In terms of boundary condition setting, boundary conditions suitable for model solving are set for each sub-model. Among them, the mathematical model of the stacking process is more specific and accurate in setting boundary conditions. Different boundary conditions are used according to the specific position of the ingot in the stack, which can be closer to the actual situation and make the temperature calculation more accurate. Therefore, the calculation of this model is accurate.

[0059] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is represented as a calculation flow chart of simulation prediction. The heat transfer model of the whole process of casting constructed by this method can calculate the temperature of the casting in real time, and can also simulate and predict the temperature of the casting in the casting warehouse. The so-called simulation prediction of the temperature of the casting in the casting warehouse refers to the next transportation direction of the casting based on the current temperature information of the casting and the transportation direction of the steel billet summarized and summarized from the field investigation, and then the current temperature information of the casting is set as the initial temperature information, and different heat transfer sub-models are called according to different links in the flow direction for calculation.

[0060] It should be noted that during the rough rolling of microalloyed steel slabs, cracks along the vibration mark direction or in a mesh distribution can be observed on the surface of the coil, which are called red delivery cracks. The red delivery cracks of microalloyed steel slabs are different from the defects of other types of steel slabs. They are a unique defect under hot delivery and hot loading conditions. The depth of the cracks is about 0.3~2.2mm, and the maximum width is about 1.5mm. They are mainly distributed on the entire surface of the steel plate, and are more common at 1 / 2 and 1 / 4 of the width of the steel plate, with a depth of about 0.5~1.5mm. The occurrence of quality defects of red delivery cracks in the slab can be reduced. If the temperature of the slab obtained by calculation is in the temperature range of the hot delivery defect of the red delivery crack corresponding to this steel grade, a reminder window will pop up to remind that the slab cannot be hot loaded at this time, and the time when the slab meets the hot loading conditions can be predicted through simulation prediction. The method of reminder plus prediction can greatly reduce the occurrence of red crack quality defects, thereby reducing a lot of waste of manpower and material resources. The method can be directly applied under existing production conditions, and the transformation cost is low. The temperature drop calculation method of the ingot during the casting and rolling connection process embedded in the scheduling plan has a good effect on improving the hot rolling ingot feeding method.
