[0002] During the processing of steel sections, tongue cutting is a common operation, which is used to cut off the tongue part of the steel section after rolling through the rolling mill so that it can enter the next rolling process or assembly. It requires precise cutting of the steel section to meet the needs of subsequent processing or use. Traditional steel section tongue cutting operations are usually manual operations, which have problems of low efficiency and large errors. With the development of automation technology, how to achieve automatic positioning of steel section tongue cutting has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide a method and system for automatically positioning a steel section cutting tongue, which overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for automatically positioning a steel cutting tongue, comprising:

[0006] S100. When the head of the steel reaches the first detection point, a deceleration signal is sent to the positioning control system. After receiving the deceleration signal, the control system controls the steel to decelerate so that the steel reaches the preset position of the laser length measurement system;

[0007] S200. When the head of the steel section passes through the preset position of the laser length measuring system, the laser length measuring system takes a picture of the tongue part of the head of the steel section to obtain image data of the head of the steel section, sends the image data of the head of the steel section to the data processing system, calculates the length data of the tongue of the head through the data processing system, and sends the length data to the positioning control system;

[0008] S300. When the head of the steel reaches the second detection point, the laser length measurement system is stopped to take a photo of the tongue part of the head of the steel, and the steel is controlled to continue to run. When the head of the steel reaches the third detection point, the positioning control system is started, the baffle is lifted, and the steel is controlled to slow down so that the steel just reaches the baffle position. At this time, the position from the baffle to the cutting line is the cutting tongue length;

[0009] S400. After the steel stops moving, the distance that the mobile saw needs to move is calculated according to the cutting tongue length. The cutting control system controls the mobile saw to automatically move to the cutting line position to perform the tongue cutting operation according to the calculated distance that the mobile saw needs to move;

[0010] S500. After the tongue cutting of the steel head is completed, the baffle automatically descends, the conveyor roller automatically starts, and the head sawing process is completed;

[0011] S600. When the tail of the steel section reaches the first detection point, steps S100-S500 are repeated, and the tail sawing process ends.

[0012] Furthermore, in S100, a laser length measurement system is used to detect position information of the steel section, and the laser length measurement system at least includes a laser length measuring instrument, a camera or other image sensors.

[0013] Further, in S100, the method for determining the position of the first detection point includes: calculating the time taken for the roller speed to drop to the speed of the camera passing through the laser length measurement system, and then calculating the distance between the first detection point and the camera in the laser length measurement system based on the obtained time and speed; the speed of the roller is controlled by a frequency converter, and the acceleration and deceleration rates of the frequency converter can be set by frequency converter parameters.

[0014] Furthermore, in S200, the method for calculating the length of the tongue on the head includes: a data processing system analyzes the image data to obtain the distance between each frame of the image, and calculates the length of the tongue according to the number of frames of the camera and the distance between each frame.

[0015] Further, in S300, the position of the second detection point is within 2 meters from the camera in the laser length measurement system.

[0017] Furthermore, in S400, the calculation method of the distance that the mobile saw needs to move includes: when the mobile saw is behind the baffle, the distance that the mobile saw needs to move is the distance between the mobile saw and the baffle plus the length of the cut tongue; when the mobile saw is in front of the baffle, the distance that the mobile saw needs to move is the distance between the mobile saw and the baffle minus the length of the cut tongue.

[0018] Further, in S600, when the tail of the steel section reaches the first detection point, steps S100-S500 are repeated, and the tail sawing process ends. The specific method includes:

[0019] When the tail of the steel section reaches the first detection point, a deceleration signal is sent to the positioning control system. After receiving the deceleration signal, the control system controls the steel section to decelerate so that the steel section reaches the preset position of the laser length measurement system.

[0020] When the tail of the steel section passes through the preset position of the laser length measuring system, the laser length measuring system takes a picture of the tail tongue of the steel section to obtain the image data of the tail of the steel section, and sends the image data of the tail of the steel section to the data processing system, calculates the length data of the tail tongue through the data processing system, and sends the length data to the positioning control system;

[0021] When the tail of the steel reaches the second detection point, the laser length measurement system is stopped to take pictures of the tongue and tail of the steel, and the steel is controlled to continue to run. When the tail of the steel reaches the third detection point, the positioning control system is started to control the steel to slow down so that the tail of the steel just reaches the baffle position. At this time, the position from the baffle to the cutting line is the cutting tongue length;

[0022] After the steel stops moving, the distance that the mobile saw needs to move is calculated according to the cutting tongue length. The cutting control system controls the mobile saw to automatically move to the cutting line position to perform the tongue cutting operation according to the calculated distance that the mobile saw needs to move.

[0023] After the tail tongue cutting of the steel section is completed, the conveyor roller starts automatically and the tail sawing process is completed.
