Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel material processing, and in particular to a device and method for controlling surface defects of an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of research on surface treatment processes of metal materials, hot-dip galvanized steel sheets exhibit more significant corrosion resistance advantages than cold-rolled steel sheets. Based on this characteristic, hot-dip galvanized steel sheets have shown high application value and wide market demand in many key industrial application fields such as automobile manufacturing, household appliances, and modern building construction.

[0003] At present, the market has increasingly high quality requirements for zinc-iron alloyed sheets. The common defects of zinc-iron alloyed sheets are point defects and sheet defects. The point defects are caused by incomplete pickling of the iron oxide on the surface of the steel sheet, resulting in point-like oxides remaining on the surface of the steel sheet, which combine with zinc liquid to form zinc-iron alloy phases, causing surface defects.

[0004] In summary, the current strip steel galvanizing device and method mainly aim to address the non-uniformity of the galvanized layer, the problem of bubble retention during the galvanizing process, and improve the bonding force of the plated layer, and solve the problem of tension relaxation that may occur when the strip steel is pressed into the zinc liquid. In addition, existing technologies (such as patents CN115216607B, CN119703265A, and CN118038178A) also disclose some general strip steel surface defect detection and processing solutions. However, these existing solutions focus on offline or online detection and classification of defects, or focus on preventing defects from occurring by adjusting process parameters throughout the entire process, or focus on cleaning the surface through physical or chemical methods to expose defects. For defects generated in the alloyed hot-dip galvanizing process, which have their unique formation mechanism, there is a lack of effective online, real-time, and closed-loop control means. In particular, how to integrate defect recognition, decision-making, and precise execution into a systematic control device and method is still a difficulty in existing technologies. Based on the above technical problems, the present application proposes a device and method for controlling surface defects of an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet. SUMMARY

[0055] As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application further comprises a kind of alloying hot galvanizing steel plate surface defect control method, is realized based on above-mentioned alloying hot galvanizing steel plate surface defect control device, and step is specifically as follows: Figure 1

[0056] S1. the inlet input device 1 uses high-resolution CCD camera to visually detect the steel plate, obtains the residual oxide data on the surface of the steel plate and the thickness and width data of the steel plate, judges whether it needs partial pickling based on the residual oxide data on the surface of the steel plate, and if it needs partial pickling, determines the area of the steel plate needing partial pickling.

[0057] S2. the steel plate after visual detection is transported to integrated galvanizing device, and the integrated galvanizing device comprises the partial pickling cabin 9, the annealing cabin 10, the galvanizing cabin 12 and the induction heating cabin 14 which are sequentially connected, and reducing gas is introduced into the integrated galvanizing device.

[0058] ​​​S3. After the concentration of the reducing gas reaches the preset concentration, the concentration of the reducing gas reaches the preset concentration, based on the result of whether the steel plate surface residual oxide data detected by the visual detection system needs local pickling, if local pickling is needed, the local pickling area is needed, the local pickling cabin 9 performs local pickling on the steel plate after visual detection, and after local pickling, the steel plate after local pickling is transported to the annealing cabin 10; if local pickling is not needed, the steel plate is transported to the annealing cabin 10.

[0059] S4. The steel plate obtained in S3 is sequentially passed through the annealing cabin 10, the galvanizing cabin 12 and the induction heating cabin 14 to obtain a steel plate finished product.

[0060] S5. The steel plate finished product is transported to the outlet output device 2, the outlet output device 2 tests the temperature of the steel plate finished product, and based on the temperature result, it is judged whether the surface of the steel plate finished product reaches the specified temperature and whether the temperature is uniform, and after it is judged that the specified temperature is reached and the temperature is uniform, the steel plate finished product is output.

[0061] As a preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, when the temperature test result does not reach the temperature range, the power of the heater of the induction heating cabin 14 is increased. The surface defect of the steel plate finished product is detected, if the steel plate finished product surface appears flaky white spot defect, the holding time of the steel plate in the induction heating cabin 14 is extended, if the steel plate finished product surface appears point white spot defect, the pickling time of the steel plate in the local pickling cabin 9 is increased.

[0062] As a preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, the heating method of the induction heating area is:

[0063] As shown in Figure 6 , the first coil is arranged above and below the galvanized steel plate, and the second coil is arranged on the side of the galvanized steel plate. It is measured whether the width of the steel plate meets the induction heating range of the first coil. If it meets the induction heating range of the first coil, the first coil is started to heat the galvanized steel plate. If it does not meet the induction heating range of the first coil, the first coil and the second coil are started to heat the galvanized steel plate at the same time to ensure that the galvanized steel plate is evenly heated at each position.

[0064] Specifically, in the induction heating area, the steel plate is transversely inductively heated. If the width of the steel plate is close to the induction heating range of the coil I, scheme one is adopted to heat the steel plate: the first coil (coil I) is started to transversely inductively heat the zinc-sprayed steel plate; if it is found that the width of the steel plate is greater than the induction heating range of the coil I, scheme two is adopted to heat the zinc-sprayed steel plate: the coil I and the second coil (coil II) are started to heat the steel plate at the same time. The role of the coil II is to heat the part that the coil I cannot heat and the edge of the steel plate to ensure that the steel plate surface is evenly heated at each position.

[0065] The rhombic induction coils are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate, and the middle-high frequency power supply is used to realize rapid heating, so as to ensure that the surface temperature of the steel plate is heated to 500-550℃ within 10 seconds, and the heat preservation is performed for 10 seconds, so as to promote the reaction of zinc and the steel plate to form zinc-iron alloy. The rectangular induction coils are additionally arranged in the thickness direction of the steel plate, so as to compensate the non-uniformity of the induction heating in the thickness direction, and ensure that the overall temperature difference of the steel plate is less than ±10℃. The temperature of the zinc-iron alloy steel plate after induction heating is measured, so as to ensure that the zinc and iron react at a suitable temperature.

[0066] As a preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The outlet output device 2 tests the temperature of the steel plate product, and the specific method is as follows:

[0067] The outlet output device 2 is provided with an infrared thermal imager 26, which tests five equally divided points in the width direction and three equally divided points in the thickness direction of the steel plate product, and obtains the temperature detection result of the steel plate product.

[0068] Specifically, after the zinc-plated steel plate is completed induction heating, the zinc-plated steel plate is transmitted to the outlet output device 2 through the device outlet cabin 16 for temperature measurement, the infrared thermal imager 26 collects the temperature of five points (C, D, E, F, G) in the width direction and three points (A, B, C) in the thickness direction in real time, and generates a temperature cloud map of the whole steel plate in real time. Figure 7 If the surface temperature of the zinc-plated steel plate does not reach 500-550℃, the control system feeds back and increases the induction heating power to ensure that the steel plate is heated to the set temperature. When the surface temperature of the zinc-plated steel plate reaches 500-550℃, the surface of the zinc-plated steel plate is detected for defects. If sheet-shaped white spot defects are found, the control system feeds back and reduces the conveying speed of the steel plate to prolong the time of the steel plate in the induction heater. If point-shaped white spots are found, when the zinc layer reacts with the steel plate to form zinc-iron alloy, the degree of zinc-iron alloying at the defect position is lower than that of the surrounding area, so point-shaped white spots are generated. The control system feeds back and prolongs the time of the steel plate for local pickling in the subsequent production.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
