Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wire rod rolling, and in particular to an automatic billet rolling system for a wire rod production line. Background Art
[0002] In the field of steel production, wire rods are basic industrial materials, and the efficiency and accuracy of their production process are crucial. In the wire rod production line, the entire process of steel billets from heating furnace to finished products entering the warehouse covers many complex links, among which steel billet information tracking and number separation operations are key steps to ensure product quality and production order.
[0003] In traditional wire rod rolling lines, billet information tracking and number separation are mainly done manually by operators. After the billet enters the rolling process from the heating furnace, the operator needs to identify the billet number information of the billet with the naked eye. Due to the complex production site environment, there are many interference factors such as high temperature, strong light, and noise, which greatly increases the difficulty of manual identification. Operators must not only concentrate on observing the billets in harsh environments, but also pay attention to the flow of billets on the production line at all times, so as to manually separate the tail steel of the same billet number. This manual operation method has many disadvantages.
[0004] From the perspective of accuracy, manual identification is prone to errors. In high-intensity production operations, operators are under stress for a long time, and visual fatigue is inevitable. The slightest negligence may misjudge the billet number of the steel billet, resulting in mixed numbers of billets from different batches. Once a mixed number accident occurs, it will seriously affect product quality traceability. When product quality problems may occur later, it will be difficult to accurately define production batches and responsible links. At the same time, after mixed number products enter the market, they may also trigger customer complaints, damage the company's reputation, and bring economic losses and market risks to the company.
[0005] In terms of labor intensity, manual number separation consumes a lot of physical strength and energy of operators. Wire rod production lines are usually continuous operations with a fast production pace. Operators need to be highly vigilant at all times and frequently perform billet information identification and number separation operations. Long-term high-intensity work can not only easily lead to physical fatigue of operators, but also cause psychological pressure, which in turn affects work efficiency and operation accuracy, forming a vicious cycle and threatening the stability and continuity of production. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide an automatic billet spacing system for rolling a wire rod production line, which can solve the problems in the background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a billet rolling automatic separation system for a wire rod production line, comprising a billet tracking module, a signal prompt module, an automatic separation module and a data management module, wherein the billet tracking module includes heating furnace area tracking and rolling line full line tracking; Among them, the signal prompt module includes voice broadcast, signal light display and control room screen display; Among them, the automatic number spacing module includes intelligent number spacing decision-making and operation execution and feedback; Among them, the data management module includes data storage and data analysis and statistics.
[0008] Preferably, the heating furnace area tracking: a special tracking unit is set at the heating furnace level, and advanced recognition technology is used to track the steel billets in real time. The colors of the steel billets in the heating furnace are set to red and blue, and colors are assigned to different batches of steel billets through a specific algorithm to ensure that the colors of the same batch of steel billets are consistent. The steel billet color information and the tail steel information of the same billet number will be sent to the rolling line in real time through a high-speed data transmission link, providing basic data support for subsequent tracking work.
[0009] Preferably, the rolling line is tracked throughout the entire rolling line: the rolling line is equipped with high-performance tracking equipment, which receives the billet color and tail steel information from the heating furnace, and then tracks the billet uninterruptedly throughout the entire rolling line. It utilizes an advanced sensor network, combined with hot metal detectors and rolling mill torque signals, to accurately determine the status of the billet at each position of the rolling line. Once the position of the billet changes, the system quickly updates the data to ensure the real-time and accuracy of the tracking, providing a reliable basis for automatic spacing.
[0010] Preferably, the voice broadcast: high-definition voice broadcast equipment is installed at key positions of the heating furnace and finished product offline. When the tail steel arrives at the corresponding area, the system automatically triggers the voice broadcast program to clearly and accurately broadcast the separation information, including the batch number of the tail steel and the separation operation requirements, to ensure that workers on the job can obtain key information in time and avoid operational errors caused by untimely information transmission.
[0011] Preferably, the signal light display: at the rolling production site, multi-zone signal lights are set for the tail steel, and when the tail steel enters different areas, the signal lights of the area are displayed according to preset rules. For example, when the tail steel enters a certain area, the green light flashes at a frequency of 1HZ to remind on-site personnel that the batch of tail steel is being processed; when the tail steel leaves the area, the green light is always on, indicating that the area has been processed. In addition, the tail steel signal flashing function is implemented on the rolling signal lights of the entire line, so that all personnel on the line can intuitively understand the status of the number separation, which is convenient for collaborative work.
[0012] Preferably, the control room screen displays: on the rolling screen of the control room, the color of the rolled steel billet is displayed with an intuitive graphical interface, and different batches of steel billets are marked with different colors. The operator can understand the status of each steel billet batch at a glance through the screen, which is convenient for overall monitoring and scheduling of the production process. At the same time, the screen also displays the key information of the steel billet position and production progress in real time, thereby improving the visualization level of production management.
[0013] Preferably, the intelligent spacing decision: the system performs intelligent analysis and decision-making based on the data obtained by the billet tracking module and the preset spacing rules. When the tail steel reaches the designated spacing area, the system automatically determines whether a spacing operation is required and determines the specific spacing method, such as skipping teeth spacing.
[0014] Preferably, the operation is executed and fed back: after the automatic number-interleaving instruction is issued, the on-site execution equipment responds quickly to complete the number-interleaving action. At the same time, the equipment feeds back the execution result to the system. The system monitors and records the execution status in real time. If any abnormality in the number-interleaving operation is found, the alarm mechanism is immediately activated to notify relevant personnel to handle it.
[0015] Preferably, the data storage: constructs a large-capacity database to store all key data of the billet from the heating furnace to the finished product before storage, including the billet batch number, color, tracking trajectory, and alternate number operation records, and adopts advanced data storage technology to ensure the security and integrity of the data, which is convenient for subsequent query and analysis.
[0016] Preferably, the data analysis and statistics: use data analysis tools to conduct in-depth mining and analysis of the stored data, and provide data support for production management by counting the production efficiency and spacing accuracy indicators of different batches of steel billets. At the same time, according to the data analysis results, optimize the production process and spacing strategy to continuously improve system performance and production efficiency.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The automatic billet separation system for the wire rod production line completely abandons manual separation, effectively avoids mixing accidents caused by human operating errors, ensures product quality, reduces production risks, and provides strong guarantees for the stable production of enterprises. The automated tracking and separation operations greatly reduce the workload of production workers, freeing them from the tedious and repetitive manual separation work, allowing them to devote more energy to key production links, improve work efficiency and work quality, and the fast and accurate billet tracking and automatic separation functions effectively shorten the production cycle and reduce production downtime. At the same time, the system's real-time monitoring and data analysis functions help optimize the production process and further improve production efficiency. The screen display and data management module of the centralized control room provide production management personnel with comprehensive and intuitive production information, which is convenient for real-time grasp of production progress, timely discovery and resolution of problems, and realization of refined production management.
