Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of non-ferrous metal production, in particular to a method for online detection and synchronous repair of surface cracks of non-ferrous metal strip. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production process of non-ferrous metal strip, such as hot rolling, cold rolling, surface cleaning and heat treatment, the surface quality, especially the edge quality, is the key point of the whole production control. Due to the complex stress state of the edge, especially in the hot rolling and cold rolling processes, surface cracks are very easy to occur. If these cracks cannot be effectively treated, they will further extend and expand in the subsequent tension rolling process, which can easily cause the strip to be torn, broken or even broken, and other serious production accidents. Especially in the cold rolling mill using rolling oil, the broken strip caused by edge cracks at high speed may produce sparks, ignite the rolling oil mist, and cause serious production fire, with huge safety hazards.
[0003] At present, the conventional treatment method for edge cracks in the industry has significant drawbacks. For uniformly distributed edge cracks, a one-time symmetrical edge cutting is usually used for removal. However, the length and distribution of cracks on the strip are often random and uneven. If large-size edge cutting is performed to completely remove individual local large cracks extending to the middle, it will result in a sharp increase in waste and a serious reduction in product yield. If the edge cutting amount is insufficient, micro-cracks cannot be completely removed, which may cause accidents in subsequent production.
[0004] For these uneven and individual micro-cracks, the existing production method mainly relies on the reeling process for treatment. In this process, the reeling machine needs to be operated at a slow speed, and the operator needs to find defects by visual observation under slow speed conditions. Once found, the entire production line needs to be stopped, and then repaired by manual welding or mechanical polishing. This method has the following defects: first, the production efficiency is low, and slow detection and shutdown processing seriously affect the production rhythm; second, the labor intensity of workers is high, and the eyesight requirement is high; third, the treatment quality is unstable, and is greatly affected by human factors, and cannot guarantee the uniformity and reliability of the repair.
[0005] In addition, although online detection systems based on visual sensors have appeared in the prior art, they are mostly limited to the stage of "detection-alarm-shutdown-repair", and cannot form an efficient online closed loop with the repair execution mechanism. If a synchronous scheme driven by a motor and a sensor is used, the control system is complex, and there are problems such as response delay, the need for continuous position correction, and difficulty in ensuring long-term stable synchronization accuracy in a high-speed and vibrating industrial environment. Therefore, we propose a method for online detection and synchronous repair of surface cracks of non-ferrous metal strip. SUMMARY
[0006] The technical problem solved by the present application is to overcome the existing defects and provide a method for online detection and synchronous repair of non-ferrous metal strip surface cracks.

[0050] One end of the synchronous shaft 6 is provided with a synchronous pulley B7, and a synchronous belt A8 is arranged between the synchronous pulley A5 and the synchronous pulley B7.

[0053] The diameters of the driving bevel gear 16 and the driven bevel gear 19, the pitch of the driving screw 20 and the like are designed according to the mathematical relationship established according to the diameter of the winding drum 2, so as to ensure that the sliding block 22 and the strip 1 can keep the same speed under the synchronous rotation of the driving screw 20.

When resetting, the driving bevel gear 16 on the driving shaft 12 is no longer rotated with the driving shaft 12 through the reversing device, and the driving bevel gear 16 on the resetting shaft 15 is rotated with the resetting shaft 15, so that the resetting of the repairing device can be realized.
[0055] Preferably, the reversing device comprises a reversing rod 18 and two synchronizers 17 respectively arranged on the reset shaft 15 and the driving shaft 12, the synchronizer 17 is a common synchronizer structure comprising a coupling sleeve and a synchronizer ring, etc. The reversing rod 18 is inverted "Y" shape, the top end of the reversing rod 18 is hinged to the movable end of the external cylinder, the middle part of the reversing rod 18 is rotatably arranged on the external mounting frame, and the two bottom ends of the reversing rod 18 are respectively hinged to the two synchronizers 17.

After the corresponding coupling sleeve moves to the position engaged with the driving bevel gear 16, the synchronizer ring is pressed to the inner side of the corresponding driving bevel gear 16, so as to realize synchronous rotation.
[0056] Further preferably, the inner side surface of the fixing frame 21 is provided with a proximity switch corresponding to the sliding block 22 near the industrial camera mounting frame 27, which is used to detect whether the repairing device 26 is reset to the position. After detecting that it is reset to the initial position, the external cylinder drives the reversing rod 18 to move to the neutral position through automatic control of the system.
[0057] Preferably, the lower surface of the sliding block 22 is provided with a moving frame 23, the lower surface of the moving frame 23 is provided with a sliding groove, the side surface of the moving frame 23 is provided with a driving motor 24, the output shaft of the driving motor 24 penetrates into the sliding groove and is connected with a screw rod through a shaft coupling, the screw rod is rotatably arranged in the sliding groove, and the screw rod is threadedly connected with the screw hole provided in the side surface of the sliding seat. The moving direction of the sliding seat is perpendicular to the moving direction of the strip 1. The repairing device 26 is arranged on the lower side of the sliding seat. The lower surface of the sliding seat is provided with a lifting device 25, which is preferably a cylinder or an oil cylinder or an electric push rod, etc. The repairing device 26 is arranged on the lower surface of the lifting device 25.

According to the distance between the industrial camera matrix and the initial position of the repairing device 26, the synchronous movement can be delayed for a corresponding time, so as to achieve accurate synchronous movement and repair.
[0059] In addition, the repairing device can also be started immediately after the surface defects are found, and delayed for a small distance after the corresponding length is repaired to ensure full coverage of the defect area.

[0061] Optionally, when the diameter of the coiled strip is large, a telescopic friction wheel can be arranged at the winding drum to always contact the outermost surface of the coiled strip, and the friction wheel is coupled with the synchronous shaft 6 through a differential. The rotation speed of the friction wheel will linearly decrease with the increase of the winding drum radius, and the final input rotation speed of the synchronous mechanism can compensate for the linear speed change caused by the increase of the radius. A mechanical stepless speed changer can also be used, and the speed control lever of the mechanical stepless speed changer is linked with an arm that always presses the surface of the coiled strip. As the radius of the coiled strip increases, the arm swings to automatically adjust the transmission ratio of the speed changer, thereby changing the final output speed of the synchronous mechanism to mechanically correct the synchronous speed of the synchronous mechanism when the coiled strip is wound at a large diameter.
[0062] Preferably, the repairing device 26 is one or more of a welding machine, a grinder and a cutting machine, which can repair the crack defects by welding, grinding and cutting respectively according to the specific conditions of the crack defects. For superficial micro-cracks, a high-speed grinder can be used for local grinding to remove the cracks and form a smooth transition in the area to eliminate stress concentration points. For linear cracks with a certain depth, a micro welding machine (such as TIG welding or laser welding) can be used for fusion repair to achieve metallurgical bonding and restore material integrity. For macro cracks that have expanded or serious defects that cannot be repaired, a precision cutting machine or a small milling device can be used to cut off the small section of the edge to avoid the expansion of the defects in the subsequent production.
[0063] In addition, laser preheating + micro forging can also be used for repair. First, a low-power laser is used to instantaneously preheat the micro crack area to soften the material. Then, a high-precision electromagnetic drive or pneumatic impact head is used to micro forge the crack to “rivet” the crack and achieve metallurgical bonding.
