Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rebar production technology, specifically a hot-rolled intelligent sizing system for rebar and its defect identification method. Background Technology
[0002] Rebar is a hot-rolled ribbed steel bar with continuous spiral ribs on its surface. It is mainly rolled from low-carbon alloy steel and is the core steel material used for reinforcement in concrete structures in the construction engineering field. It is widely used in the load-bearing structures of buildings, bridges, tunnels, water conservancy facilities and other projects. The diameter accuracy and surface rib regularity of rebar directly determine its bond strength with concrete and its cooperative stress performance, which is crucial to the safety and stability of engineering structures. Therefore, in the hot rolling production process, the dimensional accuracy of rebar must be ensured through sizing process and surface defect detection must be carried out simultaneously to meet the stringent standards of engineering applications.
[0003] Most existing hot-rolling sizing processes for rebar use fixed-gap rolls for unidirectional extrusion sizing, supplemented by manual sampling or offline inspection to detect defects. The fixed roll spacing is difficult to adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction deformation of the steel bars caused by temperature fluctuations during hot rolling, which can easily lead to out-of-tolerance diameters and uneven rib heights, affecting product quality consistency. Offline inspection or manual sampling inspection has a detection lag and cannot identify surface cracks, scratches, missing lines, and other defects generated during production in real time. This can easily allow unqualified products to flow into downstream processes, which not only increases rework costs but also creates potential safety hazards and fails to meet the intelligent and high-precision requirements of modern steel production.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Example 1, by Figures 1-8The present invention relates to an intelligent sizing system for hot-rolled rebar, comprising a base 1, a sizing mechanism 2 on the top of the base 1, and an adjustment mechanism 3 and a heat dissipation mechanism 4 on the sizing mechanism 2.
[0023] In Embodiment 2, based on Embodiment 1, the sizing mechanism 2 includes a base frame 201 fixed to the top of the base 1. Two bottom rollers 209 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner side of the base frame 201. Two square rods 203 are symmetrically arranged above the base 1. The base frame 201 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the two square rods 203. Two side plates 206 are symmetrically movably sleeved between the two square rods 203. A top frame 207 is fixedly connected between the two side plates 206. When the top frame 207 rises or falls, it drives the two side plates 209... 6. All slide along the two square round rods 203 to guide the top frame 207 and ensure its stability during movement. Two top rollers 208 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner side of the top frame 207. The two top rollers 208 are located directly above the two bottom rollers 209. Two movable frames 202 are symmetrically movably sleeved between the two square round rods 203. Two side rollers 2019 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner side of each movable frame 202. Side ring 1 2010 and side ring 2011 are symmetrically arranged above the base 1. 201 is located between side ring 1 2010 and side ring 2 2011. Multiple laser diameter gauges 2013 are installed at equal angles on the inner side of side ring 1 2010, and multiple high-speed industrial cameras 2012 are installed at equal angles on the inner side of side ring 2 2011. A top plate 205 is fixedly sleeved between two square rods 203. An electric push rod 204 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate 205. The top of the top frame 207 is fixed to the output end of the electric push rod 204. The inner side of the base frame 201 is fixedly installed with two movable... The base plate 2015 between the frames 202 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the two square round rods 203. The top of the base plate 2015 is fixedly installed with a drive motor 2016. The drive motor 2016 is fixedly connected with a drive shaft 2017. The top of the drive shaft 2017 is fixedly connected with a top plate 2018. The top of the top plate 2018 is rotatably connected with two drive rods 2014 at equal angles. The ends of the two drive rods 2014 away from the top plate 2018 are rotatably connected to the two movable frames 202 respectively. When the hot-rolled rebar passes through the side ring 2010, the laser diameter gauges 2013 collect real-time diameter and cross-sectional roundness data of the rebar from multiple angles and transmit the data to the control unit. The control unit, based on preset rebar specification parameters, controls the electric push rod 204 to start, driving the top frame 207 to move longitudinally, thereby raising and lowering the top roller 208 and changing the distance between the top roller 208 and the bottom roller 209. Simultaneously, it controls the drive motor 2016 to start, driving the top plate 2018 to rotate via the drive shaft 2017. This rotation, through two drive rods 2014, drives the two movable frames 202 to rotate along... Two square rods 203 slide horizontally, changing the distance between the two sets of side rollers 2019. The high-temperature rebar then passes through the extrusion space formed by the top roller 208, bottom roller 209, and side rollers 2019 in sequence, performing multi-dimensional precise shaping of the rebar and completing the sizing operation. After sizing, the rebar passes through the second side ring 2011. A high-speed industrial camera 2012 arranged in a ring array synchronously captures images of the rebar's entire circumferential surface at a high frame rate. The image data is transmitted to the defect recognition algorithm model, which compares it with the texture and contour features of qualified samples, and finally identifies defects such as surface cracks, missing lines, and pits.

The adjusting motor 309 is fixed to the top of the guide plate 303. When the regulating motor 309 is started, it drives the lead screw 3010 to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting plate 305 to slide along the U-shaped round rod 306 through the lead screw nut 308, thereby realizing the lifting of side ring 1 2010 and side ring 2 2011. When the electric push rod 2 302 is activated, it drives the guide plate 303 to slide along the guide rod 301, thereby moving the side ring 1 2010 and the side ring 2 2011 back and forth. Finally, the positions of the laser diameter measuring instrument 2013 and the high-speed industrial camera 2012 are adjusted according to the different specifications of the threaded steel.
[0025] In Embodiment 4, based on Embodiment 1, the heat dissipation mechanism 4 includes an air inlet duct 401 fixed to the outside of the base frame 201.

Two positioning rods 406 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer ring 409. The mounting ring 407 is sleeved on the outer side of the two positioning rods 406. The high-temperature resistant protective cover 403 serves to isolate heat radiation and prevent dust and splash. First, place the filter screen 4012 inside the air inlet duct 401 until it abuts against the inner ring 4011. Then, put the mounting ring 407 on the outside of the two positioning rods 406 and push it to move the limiting cylinder 4010 into the air inlet duct 401 until the sealing ring 4013 is in contact with the air inlet duct 401. At this time, the limiting cylinder 4010 abuts against the filter screen 4012. Then, fix the mounting ring 407 to the outer ring 409 with two bolts 408 to complete the installation of the filter screen 4012. Then, the cooling fan 405 is turned on, allowing outside cold air to enter the air inlet duct 401 after being filtered by the filter screen 4012. Subsequently, the cold air enters the two high-temperature resistant protective covers 403 through the two hoses 404, thereby dissipating heat from the laser diameter measuring instrument 2013 and the high-speed industrial camera 2012. The heat inside the two high-temperature resistant protective covers 403 is discharged from the two heat dissipation vents 402, thus preventing the laser diameter measuring instrument 2013 and the high-speed industrial camera 2012 from overheating and affecting their use.
