Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of finishing mill rolling technology, and in particular to a method, medium and equipment for predicting rolling force in finishing mills. Background Technology

[0002] After continuous annealing and surface galvanizing, the surface quality, shape, and microstructure of cold-rolled strip steel are difficult to meet standards, and the material remains in a completely soft state. The presence of a yield plateau severely restricts the quality of subsequent processing. Therefore, a light rolling process with an elongation of 0.5%–3% is required after annealing and galvanizing, i.e., a finishing process, to eliminate the yield plateau and minor waviness. The core functions of this process include: ① eliminating the yield plateau; ② controlling surface roughness and improving surface quality; ③ optimizing the shape; and ④ improving the material's mechanical properties and stamping formability.

[0003] The finishing mill uses a rolling force control mode to achieve constant elongation control. As a key process parameter, the accuracy of the rolling force setting directly determines the control effect: accurate setting can quickly and stably achieve the target elongation, while setting deviation will lead to prolonged adjustment time, increased fluctuation amplitude, and cause process instability and excessively long abnormal quality sections.

[0004] Field practice shows that regardless of whether the classic Stone formula or Roberts formula applicable to leveling rolling is used, or the Bland-Ford-Hill model applicable to conventional cold rolling, there is a systematic underestimation of rolling force in the hot-dip galvanizing finishing process. For interstitial steel (IF steel) with low yield strength and low elongation, the model calculation deviation is particularly significant, deviating severely from measured values. If deformation resistance and friction coefficient are calculated through self-learning, they often exhibit contradictory deviations—either the deformation resistance is higher than the experimentally measured value, or the friction coefficient exceeds the physically reasonable range, resulting in poor model interpretability and difficulty in guiding production.

[0005] While current mainstream research attempts to use big data-driven pure data models (such as neural networks and random forests) to predict the rolling force of strip mills, the practical application of these models still faces fundamental limitations. First, their generalization ability is weak: when rolling conditions exceed the coverage of the training data (such as extreme thicknesses, new steel grades, or fluctuations in process parameters), the model's prediction accuracy drops sharply, resulting in insufficient robustness. Second, in control applications, it is necessary to accurately calculate the partial derivatives of the rolling force with respect to key variables such as strip deformation resistance, friction coefficient, and entry thickness to optimize control strategies. However, the partial derivatives given by the data model often deviate significantly from the physical laws of metal plastic deformation, and may even contain sign errors, leading to directional deviations in control. More seriously, as "black box" systems, these models lack interpretability in their internal decision-making logic. Once a prediction error occurs, field engineers find it difficult to diagnose and correct it, failing to meet the stringent requirements of traceability and security in industrial control. Therefore, although their offline prediction accuracy is acceptable, they fall short in terms of real-time performance, stability, and reliability, and cannot be deployed in the field at this stage. Summary of the Invention

It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clearly illustrate the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] This embodiment provides a method for predicting the rolling force of a finishing mill. (See reference...) Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0060] S100. A physical model is established between rolling force and rolling process parameters based on equivalent deformation resistance and equivalent contact arc length.

[0061] In one embodiment, step S100 includes:

[0062] S110. Obtain rolling process parameters and unit design parameters;

[0063] Specifically, the rolling process parameters include strip entry thickness, strip width, strip elongation, entry tension, exit tension, average diameter of work rolls, rolling speed, strip yield strength, and friction coefficient between strip and work rolls; the unit design parameters include maximum rolling speed, maximum diameter of work rolls, and maximum strip elongation.

[0064] The yield strength is related to the strip steel grade, which can be obtained by testing and inspection of finished steel coils of the same grade. The friction coefficient is related to the concentration of finishing solution and the roughness of the work roll. Generally speaking, the concentration of finishing solution and the roughness of the work roll are usually fixed for the same unit, so the friction coefficient is fixed. The friction coefficient can be determined by looking up a table in the database.

[0065] S120. Calculate the equivalent contact arc length and equivalent deformation resistance based on the rolling process parameters and unit design parameters.

[0066] Specifically, the formula for calculating the equivalent contact arc length is as follows:

[0067]

[0068] in, For the equivalent contact arc length, These are the coefficients of the first model. For strip elongation, This represents the maximum elongation of the strip. The average diameter of the working rolls. For reduction rate, The coefficient of friction between the strip and the work roll is denoted as . The strip entry thickness is given; the reduction rate is calculated using the following formula: .

[0069] The formula for calculating equivalent deformation resistance is as follows:

[0070]

[0071] in, For equivalent deformation resistance, The yield strength of the strip steel. These are the coefficients of the second model. For rolling speed, For maximum rolling speed, The maximum diameter of the working rolls. These are the coefficients of the third model. For the inlet tensile stress, These are the coefficients of the fourth model. The outlet tensile stress is given by the formulas below; the inlet and outlet tensile stresses are calculated as follows:

[0072]

[0073] in, For inlet tension, For strip width, For export tension, The thickness is the export thickness; the formula for calculating the export thickness is as follows: .

[0074] S130. Calculate the rolling force based on the equivalent contact arc length and equivalent deformation resistance.

[0075] Specifically, the formula for calculating rolling force is as follows:

[0076]

[0077] in, This refers to the rolling force.

[0078] In one embodiment, the rolling force is corrected to account for the effect of the bending roll force on the rolling force, as shown in the following formula:

[0079]

[0080] in, The corrected rolling force, The coefficients of the fifth model, For the bending roller force, These are the coefficients of the sixth model.

[0081] In one embodiment, the rolling force is corrected to account for the effect of thickness on the rolling force, as shown in the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] in, The corrected rolling force, These are the coefficients of the seventh model. These are the coefficients of the eighth model. =1mm, which is used to eliminate units.

[0084] In one embodiment, the rolling force is corrected by considering the effects of bending roll force and thickness on the rolling force, as shown in the following formula:

[0085]

[0086] in, The corrected rolling force, The coefficients of the fifth model, For the bending roller force, The coefficients of the sixth model, These are the coefficients of the seventh model. These are the coefficients of the eighth model. =1mm, which is used to eliminate units.

[0087] Based on the aforementioned mathematical and physical model of the rolling force in a polished mill, values ​​are assigned to the relevant coefficients to reduce the number of coefficients and achieve dimensionality reduction. Methods for determining these values ​​include theoretical methods, empirical methods, and experimental methods. For example: , It is a working condition factor, which cannot be determined. K4 and K2 are both taken as 0.5 based on theory and experience. If the effect of the bending roller is not considered, , All values ​​are 0; considering the bending roller, , This is also a working condition factor, which cannot be determined. If the effect of thickness is not considered... , All values ​​are 0; considering thickness, , These are also operating condition coefficients, which cannot be determined. Furthermore, rolling process parameters, including strip entry thickness, strip width, strip elongation, entry tension, exit tension, average diameter of the work rolls, rolling speed, and bending force, can be measured and are considered known. Unit design parameters, including maximum rolling speed, maximum work roll diameter, and maximum strip elongation, are all design parameters and can be considered constants. In this case, the number of unknown coefficients becomes 2 to 6.

[0088] S200: Collect actual rolling process parameters and actual rolling force of multiple coils at the rolling site.

[0089] In one embodiment, actual rolling data from multiple coils is collected at the rolling mill, with collection intervals ranging from 500ms to 1000ms. This data includes all rolling process parameters required for the calculations in the aforementioned model, such as: strip entry thickness, strip width, strip elongation, entry tension, exit tension, average diameter of the work rolls, rolling speed, and bending force. The data from each coil is averaged to obtain a set of data for each coil.

[0090] S300. Based on the physical model, the calculated rolling force of the multiple coils is obtained according to the actual rolling process parameters of the multiple coils, and the proportional deviation between the calculated rolling force of the multiple coils and the actual rolling force of the multiple coils is used as the objective function.

[0091] In one embodiment, the absolute value of the ratio deviation between the calculated rolling force and the actual rolling force for each coil is taken, and the data of the 10% with the largest absolute value of the ratio deviation is discarded. The average value of the remaining absolute values ​​of the ratio deviation is used as the objective function. Here, the ratio deviation between the calculated rolling force and the actual rolling force refers to the ratio obtained by dividing the difference between the calculated rolling force and the actual rolling force by the actual rolling force.

[0092] S400. Based on the actual rolling process parameters and objective function of the multi-coil rolls, the unknown coefficients in the physical model are determined by solving the differential evolution algorithm.

[0093] In one embodiment, S400 includes the following steps:

[0094] S410. Initialization: Set the population size, mutation factor, crossover probability, and maximum number of iterations, and randomly generate an initial unknown coefficient vector population.

[0095] S420, Fitness Assessment: Substitute the unknown coefficient vector into the physical model to calculate the predicted rolling force corresponding to the actual rolling process parameters of each coil, and calculate the fitness value of each individual according to the objective function.

[0099] S460, Selection Operation: Compare the fitness values ​​of the experimental vectors and the target individuals, and select the better ones to enter the next generation of the population;

[0100] S470, Iteration termination judgment: Repeat steps S420-S460 until the maximum number of iterations is reached or the fitness value reaches the target fitness value;

[0101] S480, Optimal Coefficient Output: The individual with the best fitness value in the final population is used as the unknown coefficient vector of the physical model determined by the solution.

[0102] S500. Substitute the unknown coefficients determined by the solution into the physical model for prediction of the rolling force of the finishing mill.

[0103] Verification Example:

[0104] Existing patent CN119806043A mentions that 49 sets of actual production data of a certain leveling mill were selected, and the classic Roberts leveling rolling force calculation formula was used to compare with the actual rolling force in production. The result obtained by the Roberts calculation model differed from the actual leveling rolling force data by about 6.9 times, indicating that the Roberts calculation model was too small compared with the actual value.

[0105] Data from 658 rolls of DX56D mild steel were collected on-site. (See reference.) Figure 2 As shown, the collected data items include thickness, width, speed, elongation, bending force, rolling force, inlet tension, and outlet tension. Representative values ​​were selected for each coil, resulting in 658 sets of actual data. The yield strength of this grade was measured at 145 MPa on-site, and the coefficient of friction is typically taken as 0.2. Using the classic Roberts model, the predicted rolling force is concentrated around 60% to 70% of the actual rolling force. If a reverse calculation is performed, the classic Roberts model yields a friction coefficient of 0.33, or an increased yield strength of 254.8 MPa, neither of which conforms to normal process experience.

[0106] See Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the Roberts model recommends a coefficient of 51.6 MPa. If the proposed solution is used for self-learning based on real data, the optimized coefficient is 75.9 MPa. At this point, the fitness (average rolling force deviation) is 11.62%. Using the proposed solution without rolling force correction, the rolling force prediction deviation is 10.74%; using the proposed solution considering thickness for rolling force correction, the deviation is 10.59%; using the proposed solution considering roll bending force for rolling force correction, the deviation is 9.87%; and using the proposed solution considering both thickness and roll bending force for rolling force correction, the deviation is 9.73%. The comparison shows that the proposed solution significantly improves accuracy.

[0107] This invention considers the influence of rolling speed on deformation resistance, resulting in a rolling force trend that conforms to reality. By taking into account the influence of elongation on the length of the deformation zone, the rolling force is made close to the on-site calculation, achieving a highly interpretable rolling force calculation scheme for a finished mill. This scheme is simple and fast to calculate, and subsequent back-calculation of elongation from rolling force is extremely straightforward, facilitating further control optimization. A single calculation takes less than 10ms, meeting online control requirements. Furthermore, due to its simple structure, fast calculation, and rapid self-learning of correlation coefficients, it exhibits strong real-time performance in on-site applications.

[0108] Compared to existing technologies, this invention offers significant advantages: First, it is computationally simple and efficient: the model is built based on analytical expressions, requiring no complex iterations, and can even be directly embedded into a PLC control system, consuming minimal computational resources and facilitating maintenance; second, it boasts high prediction accuracy: after self-learning, the relative error of rolling force prediction can be stably controlled within ±5%, significantly reducing setting deviations compared to mainstream classical formulas; third, it exhibits strong scalability: even after specification changes, the calculation results still maintain high accuracy and excellent interpretability, with generalization capabilities far exceeding those of pure data models. This method combines mechanistic interpretability with data adaptability, providing a reliable and practical engineering solution for the intelligent control of the finishing process.
