Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coiler control, and particularly to a coiler side guide control method for improving the edge quality of hot-rolled strip steel. Background Art

[0002] The coiling side guide is an important equipment tool to ensure good coiling shape of hot-rolled strip coils and prevent and reduce strip steel deviation. In the early stage of side guide control, due to the limitation of mechanical structure, a position control mode was adopted. After the later new coiling side guide equipment adopted a hydraulic system, most of the side guides were changed to a strip steel head position control + pressure control mode. The strip steel head adopts position control, and the strip body and strip tail processes adopt a pressure feedback control mode. The coiling front side guide is pushed by a hydraulic cylinder to apply a certain pressure to the strip steel edge, clamp the strip steel, and keep the strip steel centered to prevent the strip steel from deviating. This method has better guaranteed the coiling shape of the strip steel. However, this control method also brings new quality problems and equipment losses.

[0003] Adopting the coiling side guide pressure feedback control mode will cause the side guide to always be in contact with the strip steel edge during coiling. And under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, there is also a certain side pressure (such as 30 - 100 KN). The side guide is in contact with the strip steel under pressure for a long time, which will cause relatively serious friction with the strip steel. The heat generated by the friction will cause the temperature of the strip steel edge to gradually rise until the wear-resistant plate of the side guide and the strip steel edge melt, resulting in a significant reduction in the service life of the coiling side guide. At the same time, the debris melted from the wear-resistant plate of the side guide and the debris scraped off from the strip steel edge will also be brought into the pinch roll, causing surface damage to the pinch roll. The falling debris will also be pressed into the strip steel itself, and the pressed debris will fall off during the subsequent cold rolling process as the strip steel is continuously rolled thinner. This leads to the phenomenon of "holes" in the strip steel, resulting in production and quality accidents. This kind of strip steel press-in surface quality defect seriously affects the quality of cold rolling series products and is prone to quality disputes. More importantly, there is usually no effective means to inspect the surface of the strip coil after coiling on the hot rolling production line. The above surface quality defects are difficult to inspect and be discovered, which will bring a series of uncontrollable problems to the next process, and this problem will be exacerbated as the rolling thickness decreases and the rolling speed increases. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Step 4: When two rolling mills in the continuous rolling mill unit are unloaded, switch the control mode of the side guide plate to the pressure feedback control mode.

[0010] Preferably, in Step 1, the head opening of the side guide plate = strip width + thermal expansion + manual correction.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , a coiler side guide control method for improving the edge quality of hot-rolled strip steel, comprising:

[0030] Step 1: Set the opening of the front side guide of the coiler; the opening of the front side guide = strip width + thermal expansion + manual correction.

[0031] Step 2: After the pinch roll bites into the strip steel for 0.5 seconds, convert the side guide to the pressure feedback control mode;

[0032] Step 3: When the strip head enters the pinch roll and is successfully wound around the coiling mandrel, after the coiling assist roll opens to the maximum position for 1 second, convert the side guide control mode to the "strip body control mode";

[0033] In Step 3, when the strip head enters the pinch roll and is successfully wound around the coiling mandrel, after the coiling assist roll opens to the maximum position for 1 second, both side guides are simultaneously switched to the position control, both side guides are simultaneously opened by 2 mm, and after the side guides are opened by 2 mm, it enters the "micro-pressure" control stage; when the pressure sensor on the side guide detects that the contact pressure between the side guide and the strip steel reaches the manually set pressure reference value, continuously open the stressed side guide until the contact pressure between the side guide and the strip steel is lower than the trigger point.

[0034] Step 4: When two rolling mills in the continuous rolling mill unit are unloaded, convert the side guide control mode to the pressure feedback control mode.

[0035] The following further illustrates the control method of the side guide of the present invention with specific embodiments:

[0036] Such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, set the opening of the head of the front deflector of the coiler; the opening width of the side deflector = strip width + thermal expansion + manual correction.

[0037] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, after the pinch roll bites into the strip by 0.5 and can effectively drag the strip, the side deflector switches to the short-term pressure feedback control mode to ensure the coiling shape of the strip core before the tension between the mandrel and the rolling mill can be stably established. By applying pressure to the strip edge by the side deflector, the neutrality of the strip head is ensured, preventing the head from running off due to poor strip head shape or waviness.

[0038] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, when the strip head enters the pinch roll and is successfully wound around the coiling mandrel and a stable tension is established with the rolling mill, 1 second after the assisting roll swings to the maximum position is the trigger point for the side deflector to switch to position control. (Position control). On the human-machine interface screen of the operator, add the pressure trigger point when the side deflector switches to the position + micro-pressure control mode. (In KN). When the side deflector control process goes through the short-term pressure feedback stage and both sides open 2 mm simultaneously. If the side deflector pressure sensor still detects or detects again that the pressure of the side deflector on the strip edge reaches the manually set pressure trigger point, the side deflector on the stressed side will move again, with a moving step of 1 mm / s, continuously opening the side deflector on the stressed side until the contact pressure of the side deflector is lower than the trigger point. (Micro-pressure control) The maximum unilateral opening distance is 10 mm. (Can be adjusted according to the on-site coiling shape later).

[0039] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, when two rolling mills in the continuous rolling mill set are unloaded (select the upstream stand). The first-level control system of the rolling mill sends a signal to the first level of the coiler. The first-level control system of the coiler switches the side deflector control mode to the pressure feedback control mode.

[0040] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, at the same time, add operation windows of "strip body mode on", "trigger force value modification", "avoidance step", and "maximum avoidance amount" to facilitate the operator to make minor modifications according to the on-site situation.

[0041] As Figure 7 shown in the figure, add operation windows of "force control reference value", "force control correction coefficient", and "force control actual value" for the strip tail. (The set pressure of the side deflector can be adjusted according to the on-site coiling shape to further reduce the friction between the side deflector and the strip edge and reduce the edge damage of the strip tail).

[0042] The present invention fully utilizes the rolling characteristics of the strip, which has stable tension and almost no lateral movement, and changes the side guide plate pressure feedback control mode at this stage to a position control + micro-pressure control mode. It also continuously explores the adjustment amount of position control and micro-pressure control to find the best fit between this control mode and coil shape control. The core control part of the above scheme is the hot-rolled strip body. When rolling strips with a thickness of less than 3mm, the strip body length accounts for more than 80% of the entire strip length. Achieving effective position control and micro-pressure control of the strip edge by the coiling side guide in this part can significantly change the quality of the strip edge, reduce the amount of strip trimming in downstream processes, and improve the yield rate.

[0043] The present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising a bus, a transceiver, a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and runnable on the processor, wherein the transceiver, the memory, and the processor are connected via the bus, and is characterized in that when the computer program is executed by the processor, the steps in the above-mentioned method for controlling the side guide plate of a coiler for improving the edge quality of hot-rolled strip are implemented.
