Description

Technical Field

[0002] Steel rolling, as the main production process of steel enterprises, plays an increasingly important role in the modern metallurgical industry. In today's fiercely competitive steel industry, cold rolling units, as the core link in steel deep processing, have a process level that is directly related to the success or failure of enterprises. As the manufacturing industry moves towards high-end and refined production, the market's quality requirements for cold-rolled steel products are becoming more and more stringent. Not only does the plate thickness accuracy need to be controlled within an extremely small tolerance range, but indicators such as surface roughness and mechanical properties must also meet a variety of industrial standards. At the same time, production efficiency has become a key factor for enterprises to seize market share and reduce costs. Every minute of downtime means economic loss, and a fast and efficient rolling process is imminent.

[0003] Furthermore, cold rolling mill equipment is complex and expensive. Once a sudden failure occurs and the machine is shut down for maintenance, it will not only cause production stagnation, but may also trigger a chain reaction due to insufficient emergency repairs, damaging upstream and downstream related equipment, resulting in high maintenance costs and production delays. The traditional management model that relies on manual experience, post-maintenance and scattered data records is no longer able to cope with these challenges. In this context, the development of a system that can collect cold rolling mill process data in real time and accurately, and integrates convenient query and in-depth analysis, has become the only way for steel companies to break through development bottlenecks and move towards intelligent production, and provide strong support for process control, efficiency improvement and equipment maintenance optimization.

[0054] In the intelligent manufacturing system of cold rolling mills, each module works closely together. The intelligent data acquisition module deploys high-precision sensors at key parts of the cold rolling mill, sets the acquisition frequency according to parameter characteristics, and calibrates the algorithm and redundant design to ensure data accuracy. The data transmission module builds a workshop-level industrial Ethernet, integrates low-power Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless technologies, and uses the OPCUA protocol to seamlessly connect wired and wireless networks to ensure continuous data interaction.

The roll pressure can be collected every millisecond to accurately reflect the instantaneous changes in rolling. The cooling water temperature can be collected every 5 seconds to balance data accuracy and storage pressure.

[0058] (3) Using calibration algorithms and redundant sensor design, the sensor zero point and gain are automatically calibrated regularly. Multi-sensor data fusion is used to reduce errors in key data and ensure that the acquisition accuracy is controlled within a very small range.

[0059] In the construction of the intelligent control system of the cold rolling mill, the sensor layout plays a key role; in the core parts such as the roll, cooling system, and tension device, a variety of high-precision sensors are reasonably placed according to their process characteristics. The pressure sensor monitors the force of the roll in real time, the temperature sensor keeps a close eye on the water temperature of the cooling link, the speed sensor controls the operation rhythm, and the tension sensor ensures the stability of the tension, capturing the process parameters in all directions. In terms of data collection frequency, both accuracy and efficiency are taken into account. The roll pressure changes rapidly and is collected every millisecond; the cooling water temperature is relatively stable and is collected every 5 seconds. At the same time, the calibration algorithm and redundant sensor design are used to periodically and automatically calibrate the sensor zero point and gain, and multiple sensors fuse key data to minimize the collection accuracy error.

[0060] Wherein, the data transmission module includes:

[0061] (1) Wired transmission network: Building workshop-level industrial Ethernet, using shielded twisted pair cables to connect sensors and data acquisition terminals, ensuring high-speed and stable data transmission, strong anti-interference capability, and meeting real-time requirements;

First, the wired transmission network builds a workshop-level industrial Ethernet and uses shielded twisted pair cables to connect various sensors and data acquisition terminals. This method can ensure high-speed and stable data transmission, has strong anti-interference capabilities, and can fully meet the strict requirements of real-time performance. Secondly, considering the special circumstances of some mobile devices or areas with difficult wiring, wireless transmission technologies such as low-power Bluetooth or Wi-Fi are introduced. They can achieve flexible networking and can be seamlessly connected with wired networks to ensure the continuity of data transmission. Finally, the transmission protocol follows the industrial standard OPC UA protocol, which supports data interaction between equipment from different manufacturers and different systems, ensuring accurate transmission of data between the acquisition end, transmission link, and storage server.

[0068] (3) Data backup and recovery: formulate regular full backup and incremental backup strategies, store backup data in an off-site disaster recovery center to ensure data security; when data is lost or damaged, it can be quickly restored to any historical node to ensure production continuity.

[0069] In the data management system of the cold rolling mill, the construction of the database link is particularly critical.

On the one hand, the background query interface carefully built with VB.net fully considers the convenience of user operation, and sets interactive components such as drop-down menus and text boxes, so that users can flexibly filter query conditions from dimensions such as time range, unit number, and process parameter name according to their own needs. On the other hand, for the query results, not only can the data files in the data storage module be accurately extracted, but also presented in a variety of forms. Line charts, bar charts, and scatter plots intuitively show the dynamic changes and distribution trends of the data, and tables are used to list the data details in detail, and it supports export to Excel and CSV formats, which provides great convenience for subsequent in-depth analysis.
