Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of steel billet clamping, and in particular to an emergency operation method of a steel billet clamp before the steel billet falls off during operation. Background Art

[0002] In the steel production process, billet clamps are critical equipment for ensuring the safe clamping and transportation of billets. Due to the heavy weight and smooth surface of billets, insufficient clamping force or improper clamping methods can cause the billets to fall off. This can not only cause production halts and equipment damage, but can also lead to serious safety accidents, posing a significant threat to production efficiency and personnel safety.

[0003] Currently, the clamping operation of billet clamps still relies primarily on manual experience, with operators adjusting the clamping method based on the billet's characteristics and on-site conditions. While existing technologies can accomplish the clamping task to a certain extent, this approach has significant shortcomings. Firstly, manual operation is easily limited by environmental factors and operator experience, resulting in uneven or insufficient clamping force, making it incapable of handling high-temperature and high-intensity production environments. Secondly, most existing clamps lack intelligent, automated control systems, preventing real-time monitoring and adjustment of clamping force, making emergency response measures less timely and effective.

[0065] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the execution subject of the emergency operation method of the billet clamp before the billet falls off during operation provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is first introduced in detail.

[0066] The following describes in detail the emergency operation method of the billet clamp provided by the embodiment of the present application before the billet falls off during operation with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an emergency operation method of a billet clamp before a billet falls off during operation provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps S101 to S103:

[0067] S101, obtaining the real-time position information of the steel billet and the real-time holding force information of the clamp.

[0068] As you can understand, a billet clamp is a specialized tool used to grip and handle billets. It typically consists of a mechanical structure, a drive device, and other components, and mechanically grips and releases the billet. During the production process, the billet clamp performs various operations while gripping the billet. Position and force sensors installed on the clamp collect real-time information on the billet's position and the clamp's holding force. This information is then transmitted to the subsequent control system, providing data support for further operational decisions.

[0069] Here, the billet refers to a rough steel billet material obtained through a smelting process, usually having a large size and weight, and is often used in subsequent rolling processes. The real-time position information of the billet refers to the specific position data of the billet at the current time in a specific spatial coordinate system, which is usually collected by a position sensor. Among them, the position sensor (such as a laser sensor or a vision sensor) can be installed near the billet clamp, and the position of the billet is sensed through a specific physical principle (such as electromagnetic induction, photoelectric effect, etc.), and the position signal is converted into an electrical signal. The real-time holding force information of the clamp refers to the size data of the clamping force applied to the billet by the billet clamp during the clamping process of the billet, which can be mainly collected by a force sensor. The force sensor is mainly installed on the clamping arm of the billet clamp to measure the size of the force applied to it and convert the size of the force into a quantifiable electrical signal.

[0070] S102, based on the real-time position information of the billet and the real-time holding force information of the clamp, the stability of the billet clamp when clamping the billet is judged in real time.

[0071] Specifically, after obtaining the real-time position information of the billet and the real-time holding force information of the clamp, the stability of the billet clamp when clamping the billet can be judged in real time based on these information. The stability of the billet clamp when clamping the billet mainly involves whether the billet will displace during clamping, whether it is likely to slip, and other aspects. The stability can be determined by considering the real-time position information of the billet and the real-time holding force information of the clamp. From the perspective of the position of the billet, if the billet abnormally deviates under the clamping of the clamp, it may mean that the clamping of the clamp on the billet is not stable enough, and there is a risk of slipping. For example, on a high-speed conveyor belt, if the billet deviates due to unstable clamping of the clamp, it is very likely to collide with surrounding equipment, causing equipment damage and even production accidents. From the perspective of the clamping force, the size of the clamping force directly determines whether the billet can be firmly clamped. If the holding force of the clamp does not meet the requirements, such as the clamping force being too small, the billet is also easy to fall off during the handling process, which not only interrupts the production process, but also may injure the on-site workers, causing serious personnel casualties and property losses.

[0072] It is understood that in order to more accurately determine the stability of the billet clamp during operation, the collected real-time billet position information and the real-time clamp holding force information can be analyzed and processed. Specifically, the real-time collected data can be compared with preset standard data or models to determine whether the current clamping state of the billet clamp is within a stable range. Here, the preset standard data or model can be determined based on a large amount of experimental data, actual production experience, and factors such as the physical properties of the billet and the clamp. For example, by simulating the handling process under different clamping forces and billet positions, recording the displacement of the billet and whether it slips, etc., the billet position range and clamp holding force range when the billet clamp is operating stably under different working conditions can be determined, and this can be used as a basis for determining stability.

[0073] For example, referring to Figure 2 As shown, in real time judging the stability of the billet clamp when clamping the billet, the following steps S201 to S203 may be included:

[0074] S201, calculating the stability index of the billet clamp when clamping the billet according to the real-time position information of the billet and the real-time holding force information of the clamp.

[0075] The stability index is a comprehensive quantitative indicator that integrates two distinct data dimensions: real-time billet position information and real-time clamp holding force information. It intuitively reflects the stability of the billet clamp during gripping. Specific mathematical models and algorithms can be applied to the calculation. For example, for real-time billet position information, factors such as the billet's offset relative to the standard position, its offset direction, and its offset speed may be considered. For real-time clamp holding force information, the clamping force (in Newtons) and its trend over time (e.g., increasing, decreasing, or stable) are analyzed. By assigning different weights to these factors—for example, a weight of 0.4 for billet position offset, 0.1 for offset direction, 0.2 for offset speed, 0.2 for clamping force, and 0.1 for clamping force trend—then a weighted calculation is performed to determine a specific stability index value. This value (i.e., the stability index) clearly reflects the stability of the billet clamp during gripping. Larger values ​​indicate better stability, while smaller values ​​indicate worse stability.

[0076] S202: Determine the stability of the billet clamp when clamping the billet based on the calculation result and the preset stability determination condition.

[0077] Specifically, the preset stability determination condition is a pre-set standard threshold used to measure the billet clamp's gripping stability. It can be determined based on factors such as actual production requirements, safety regulations, and equipment performance. When the calculated stability index is compared with the preset stability determination condition, if the stability index is within the stability range specified by the determination condition, it indicates that the billet clamp is in a stable state when gripping the billet and can continue to operate normally. Conversely, if the stability index exceeds the stability range, it indicates that the billet clamp's gripping state is unstable, potentially posing a safety hazard and requiring timely action.

[0078] S203 : When the judgment result does not meet the preset stability judgment condition, determine the stability level of the billet clamp based on the calculation result and a preset stability level threshold.

[0079] Here, when it is determined that the current working state of the billet clamp is unstable, the unstable state of the billet clamp can be further subdivided according to the preset stability level threshold. The classification results (stability levels) can include three levels: slight instability, moderate instability, and severe instability. Different stability levels can correspond to different risk levels and countermeasures. For example, when the stability index is within the threshold range corresponding to slight instability, it means that although the clamping state of the billet clamp is unstable, the risk is relatively low, which may be caused by some minor external interference or slight fluctuations in the equipment. At this time, some simple adjustment measures can be taken, such as fine-tuning the clamping force of the clamp or making small corrections to the billet position.

[0080] In this way, through the above-mentioned method of dividing the stability levels, the instability of the billet clamp can be evaluated more accurately, providing a basis for subsequent emergency treatment to ensure production safety and efficiency.

[0081] S103, when the judgment result does not meet the preset stability judgment condition, generating an early warning signal, so that the billet clamp performs an emergency operation based on the early warning signal.

[0082] It is understandable that the preset stability judgment conditions are a series of pre-set standards for measuring the stability of the billet clamp's clamping, which may include the allowable deviation range of the billet position, the minimum and maximum thresholds of the clamp's clamping force, etc. For example, the allowable deviation range of the billet position can be determined based on factors such as the precision requirements of the production process, the interface dimensions of the subsequent processing equipment, and the safe operating space. If the position deviation of the billet under the clamp exceeds this range, it may affect the smooth progress of the subsequent process and even cause safety accidents such as equipment collision. The minimum and maximum thresholds of the clamp's clamping force can be based on the material, weight, shape, and dynamic factors of the billet during transportation. If the clamping force is too small, the billet is likely to slip; if the clamping force is too large, it may damage the billet and increase the energy consumption and wear of the equipment.

[0083] Here, when the actual collected real-time billet position information and clamp holding force information do not meet these conditions, it will be determined that the preset stability judgment conditions are not met. At this time, the warning signal generation mechanism will be triggered, and the billet clamp will be triggered to perform the corresponding emergency operation. Among them, the warning signal is a warning signal, which usually attracts attention through sound, light, or other indicators. It can alert the operator or automatic control system that there may be a problem with the current state of the billet clamp and that immediate action is required. The sound warning of the warning signal can be a sharp alarm sound, a rhythmic prompt tone, etc. Different sound frequencies and rhythms can convey different levels of warning information. Light warnings can be used through flashing lights, different color light displays, etc., allowing operators to quickly detect abnormal conditions even from a distance. Other indication methods can also include text prompts on the display screen, flashing icons, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0084] Furthermore, upon receiving the early warning signal, the system will perform emergency operations according to the set emergency plan or the operator can perform emergency operations based on their own experience. Here, emergency operations are a series of targeted measures taken for different unstable situations, which may include increasing the clamping force of the clamp and / or adjusting the clamp position. On the one hand, when it is determined that the clamping force of the clamp is insufficient and may cause the billet to slip, the clamping force of the clamp can be increased to clamp the billet more firmly and prevent it from slipping. For example, this can be achieved by adjusting the driving device of the clamp through the control system so that the clamping component of the clamp clamps more tightly clamps the billet. On the other hand, if the position of the billet is abnormally offset, it indicates that the clamping position of the clamp may be inaccurate. In this case, the position of the clamp can be adjusted to return the billet to a stable position. For example, the movement of the clamp in space can be controlled to change its position relative to the billet to ensure that the billet is correctly clamped.

[0085] In some other embodiments, the emergency operation may also include adjusting the speed or movement trajectory of the billet clamp to avoid safety problems caused by excessively fast or unstable movements, which is not specifically limited here.

[0086] In some possible embodiments, due to the complexity and uncertainty of the steel production environment, relying solely on the emergency response of the billet clamp itself may not fully resolve all issues. Therefore, after a warning signal is generated and the result of a determination that the pre-set stability criteria are not met, the warning signal, along with the real-time billet position information and the real-time clamp holding force information, can be pushed to a manual intervention terminal. This manual intervention terminal is typically a monitoring area where experienced operators or professional technicians reside. Through this information, they can gain a comprehensive understanding of the current status of the billet clamp. Furthermore, based on their expertise and experience, the operator or technician will analyze and determine the issue and provide a manual intervention result. Based on this manual intervention result, the billet clamp's operating parameters can be adjusted, such as the clamp's clamping force, clamping position, and movement speed, to ensure the billet clamp can return to normal operating condition and ensure smooth production.

[0087] In this way, by combining manual intervention with automatic emergency operations, we can give full play to the subjective initiative of people and the efficiency of machines, improve the ability to respond to emergencies, and ensure the safety and stability of steel production.

[0088] In some possible embodiments, in complex and dynamically changing steel production scenarios, for example, when a large number of mobile devices and obstacles are present at the production site, making the installation of wired communication lines difficult and susceptible to interference, or when the production area is extensive and wired communication coverage is limited, a wireless data communication channel can be established to receive information such as real-time billet position information, real-time clamp holding force information, and early warning signals via the wireless data communication channel. The wireless data communication channel can utilize wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, or 5G, and can be flexibly deployed based on the specific needs and environmental characteristics of the production site. Furthermore, during the steel production process, remote control of the billet clamp is sometimes required based on actual on-site conditions. For example, if an operator at the monitoring center detects an unstable gripping state of the billet clamp or if adjustments to the production process are required, remote control commands can be transmitted to the billet clamp via the wireless data communication channel. Alternatively, in a large steel production workshop, where multiple billet clamps operate simultaneously, if an operator detects, through the monitoring system, that the clamping force of a particular billet clamp is insufficient, a command to increase the clamping force can be sent to that clamp via the wireless communication channel. Upon receiving the command, the clamps quickly adjust their drive mechanisms, increasing the pressure of the clamping components on the billet to ensure a secure grip. Furthermore, if adjustments to the production process are required, operators can send simultaneous instructions to multiple billet clamps via wireless communication channels to change movement direction or speed, making the entire production process more coordinated and efficient.

[0089] In some possible embodiments, in order to deal with unstable states of different severity more accurately and efficiently, when the judgment result does not meet the preset stability judgment condition (that is, the current billet clamp is in an unstable state), a multi-level emergency strategy can be implemented according to the stability level of the billet clamp. Figure 3 As shown, the following steps S301 to S303 may be included:

[0090] S301, when the billet clamp is in a slightly unstable state, generating a mild warning signal, so that the billet clamp performs an emergency operation of increasing the clamping force of the billet clamp based on the mild warning information.

[0091] Understandably, when the billet clamp is slightly unstable, it may be due to minor external disturbances or equipment fluctuations, posing a relatively low risk. In this case, a mild warning signal can be generated, perhaps with a soft tone or a slowly flashing green light. Upon receiving this signal, the billet clamp automatically initiates an emergency action to increase the clamp's grip. For example, the control system fine-tunes the hydraulic system pressure, slightly increasing the clamp's grip to ensure stable gripping of the billet and avoid subsequent problems caused by a slight lack of gripping force.

[0092] S302, when the billet clamp is in moderate instability, generates a moderate warning signal, so that the billet clamp performs emergency operations of adjusting the clamp position of the billet clamp and increasing the clamping force of the billet clamp based on the moderate warning signal.

[0093] Here, a moderately unstable state means that the billet clamp's instability has increased, and the risk has also increased accordingly. Accordingly, the moderate warning signal can sound more rapidly than the mild warning signal, and the light display can be a rapidly flashing yellow light. Upon receiving this signal, the billet clamp will simultaneously perform emergency operations to adjust the clamp's position and increase the clamp's clamping force. To adjust the clamp's position, the clamp can be controlled to move slightly in space to correct for misalignment of the billet. To increase the clamping force, the hydraulic system pressure can be further increased, allowing the clamp's clamping components to grip the billet more tightly, ensuring stability during handling.

[0094] S303, when the billet clamp is in severe instability, a high warning signal is generated, the billet clamp stops clamping the billet, and the high warning signal is sent to the manual intervention end to allow the operator to intervene.

[0095] Understandably, in a severely unstable state, the risk of billets slipping is extremely high, potentially causing serious production accidents. Therefore, a high-alert signal can be configured as a sharp, loud sound, or a continuously flashing red light. Upon receiving this signal, the billet clamp immediately ceases gripping the billet, preventing further losses from the billet slipping caused by continued operation. Furthermore, the high-alert signal can be sent to the manual intervention terminal, allowing operators to receive the warning immediately and visit the work site to conduct a comprehensive inspection and repair of the billet clamp, resuming operation after troubleshooting to ensure production safety.

[0096] In this way, the present disclosure, through this multi-level emergency strategy, can take corresponding measures according to the different instability levels of the billet clamps, thereby maximally ensuring the safety and stability of production.

[0097] In some possible embodiments, when addressing billet clamp instability, operators can adjust the billet clamp's operating parameters based on actual on-site conditions and their own expertise, such as adjusting the clamp's clamping force, clamping position, and movement speed. These adjustments are based on actual production needs and fault conditions, and are therefore targeted and effective. Therefore, after adjusting the billet clamp's operating parameters based on the results of manual intervention, the preset stability determination conditions and emergency response procedures can also be updated based on the results of manual intervention, ensuring that these conditions and emergency response procedures are more aligned with actual production conditions.

[0098] Furthermore, in order to continuously optimize the working performance and emergency handling capabilities of the billet clamp, the billet position information, clamp holding force information and emergency operation execution data of the billet clamp during the process of clamping the billet can be recorded according to a preset cycle; and the preset stability judgment conditions and emergency operations can be periodically updated based on the billet position information, clamp holding force information and emergency operation execution data.

[0099] Here, the billet position information, clamp holding force information and emergency operation execution data can be analyzed by a neural network algorithm. Based on the analysis results of the neural network algorithm, the preset stability judgment conditions and emergency operations can be dynamically adjusted. For example, if the analysis finds that under certain specific billet positions and clamp holding forces, the existing stability judgment conditions are prone to misjudgment, then these judgment conditions can be adjusted accordingly to make them more accurate. Similarly, if the analysis results show that the existing emergency operations are not effective in certain cases, then the emergency operations can be optimized, such as adjusting the steps, strength or time of the emergency operations, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency handling. Through this periodic update and optimization, the working performance and emergency handling capabilities of the billet clamps can be continuously improved to ensure the smooth progress of production.

[0100] For example, when using a neural network algorithm to analyze collected billet position information, clamp holding force information, and emergency operation execution data, the following steps may be included: First, data preprocessing, including data cleaning (removing noise and outliers) and data normalization (converting data of different dimensions to the same range), is performed to improve data quality and algorithm accuracy. Then, a multi-layer perceptron neural network model is constructed, comprising an input layer, multiple hidden layers, and an output layer. The input layer receives preprocessed billet position information (e.g., X, Y, and Z coordinates), clamp holding force information (clamping force magnitude), and emergency operation execution data (e.g., emergency operation type code, execution time, execution duration, etc.) as input features. The hidden layers learn and extract the input features through a series of nonlinear transformations, capturing underlying patterns and relationships in the data. The output layer outputs analysis results, such as the probability of misjudgment of stability for the current billet position and clamp holding force combination, and evaluation metrics for the effectiveness of the emergency operation (e.g., the time required for the billet to stabilize after the emergency operation, the degree of reduction in the risk of billet slippage, etc.).

[0101] Furthermore, based on the analysis results of the neural network algorithm, the preset stability judgment conditions and emergency operations are dynamically adjusted. Assume that the neural network analysis finds that when the position deviation of the billet in the X-axis direction exceeds 5 mm and the clamp holding force is less than 2000 Newtons, the existing stability judgment conditions are likely to misjudge the stable clamping state as an unstable state, resulting in unnecessary emergency operations. In response to this situation, the preset stability judgment conditions can be adjusted. For example, the stability judgment threshold in this specific case can be optimized and modified to only judge it as an unstable state when the position deviation of the billet in the X-axis direction exceeds 8 mm and the clamp holding force is less than 1800 Newtons, thereby reducing the occurrence of misjudgments and improving the accuracy of the judgment conditions.

[0102] Similarly, if the neural network analysis results show that when the clamping force is insufficient, causing the billet to have a slight tendency to slip, the existing emergency operation is to directly increase the clamping force to the maximum value. However, this operation method will cause the billet to be subjected to excessive impact force, and there is still a certain risk of the billet slipping during the adjustment process, and the emergency treatment effect is poor, then the emergency operation can be optimized and the steps, force, or time of the emergency operation can be adjusted. For example, the emergency operation can be changed to increase the clamping force in stages, first increasing the clamping force by a small amount and observing the stability of the billet. If the billet is still unstable, the clamping force is gradually increased until the billet stabilizes. At the same time, the time interval for increasing the clamping force can be adjusted to make the entire emergency operation process smoother, reduce the impact on the billet, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the emergency treatment.

[0103] In this way, the present invention can continuously adapt to various changes in the actual production process through periodic data recording, neural network algorithm analysis, and updating and optimization of preset stability judgment conditions and emergency operations, improve the working performance and emergency handling capabilities of the billet clamps under different working conditions, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of steel production, reducing the probability of production accidents, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0104] The emergency operation method of the billet clamp provided in the embodiment of the present invention before the billet falls off during operation realizes dynamic optimization control of the billet clamping process through real-time monitoring and intelligent judgment of the clamping state of the billet clamp, and rapid response and implementation of emergency operations. It can effectively ensure the stability of the billet clamping process, respond in time and avoid the billet from falling off during transportation or operation, thereby improving work safety and operation efficiency.
