Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to a programmable controller (PLC) transmission system, and in particular relates to a deceleration and stop positioning process of a roller conveying a cast billet in slab continuous casting production, and more specifically, relates to a positioning device suitable for a cast billet on a transfer trolley. Background Art

[0002] As the core equipment for transporting ingots between the slab continuous casting machine and the hot rolling mill in the steelmaking plant, the transfer trolley is responsible for transporting the ingots produced by the slab continuous casting machine from the flow channel weighing roller to the hot delivery or E roller to the hot rolling mill, which is of decisive significance to the smooth flow of the entire logistics. Figure 1 As shown, the transfer trolley is in the upper position, that is, the I group and II group of rollers of the transfer trolley are aligned with the first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller respectively, and the lifting baffles at the end of the first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller are lowered to the low position. The billets on the first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller are weighed, and a signal for conveying the billets to the transfer trolley is sent. The I (II) group of rollers of the transfer trolley automatically rotates forward at high speed to prepare for receiving the billets; at the same time, the first (second) stream weighing roller automatically runs at high speed under the triggering of the weighing completion signal, and the billets are conveyed from the first (second) stream weighing roller to the I (II) group of rollers of the trolley. When the billets completely reach the I (II) group of rollers on the transfer trolley, the transfer trolley leaves the upper position and automatically runs at high speed to the hot delivery E (hot delivery A) roller to convey the billets to the hot rolling mill. The precise stopping position of the ingot on the rollers of group I (II) of the transfer trolley is the key to the automatic operation of the transfer trolley, which is mainly accomplished by the three groups of cold metal detectors I, III, and V (II, IV, and VI) installed on the rollers of group I (II) of the transfer trolley: the cold metal detectors of group I (II) detect the head of the ingot and generate a signal that the ingot is being transported from the weighing rollers to the transfer trolley; the cold metal detectors of group III (IV) detect the deceleration signal of the rollers of group I (II) of the transfer trolley; the cold metal detectors of group V (VI) detect the head of the ingot and generate a stopping signal; the detections of groups III (IV) and V (VI) together generate a signal that the ingot is on the rollers of group I (II) of the transfer trolley. In the actual production process, the ingot moves at high speed on the transfer trolley's group I (II) rollers or the transfer trolley vibrates or shakes during operation, which frequently causes errors in the detection signal of the cold metal detector, which in turn causes the ingot to stop inaccurately or not stop at all on the transfer trolley's group I (II) rollers, and directly hits the anti-collision baffle on the east side of the group I (II) rollers at high speed, causing automatic operation failure, and causing safety hazards and damage to equipment.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0028] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention shown in the exemplary embodiments are illustrative only. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in the present invention, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that multiple modifications are feasible without actually departing from the teachings of the subject matter of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications should be included within the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the gist of the present invention, other replacements, modifications, changes and deletions may be made to the design, operating conditions and parameters of the following exemplary embodiments.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a positioning device suitable for a casting blank on a transfer trolley, comprising:

[0031] The first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller weigh the ingots and transport the ingots after weighing;

[0032] A transfer trolley, which is located above the first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller. The transfer trolley is provided with two groups of rollers, namely, trolley group I rollers and trolley group II rollers. The trolley group I rollers are aligned with the first-stream weighing rollers, and the trolley group II rollers are aligned with the second-stream weighing rollers. The trolley group I rollers and the trolley group II rollers receive the ingots transported from the first-stream weighing rollers and the second-stream weighing rollers respectively.

[0033] Hot delivery rollers A and E are located on the upper position of the transfer trolley. After the ingot has completely reached the transfer trolley's roller group I and roller group II, the transfer trolley leaves the upper position of the flow and automatically runs to the hot delivery roller E (A) at high speed to the south (north);

[0034] Cold metal detectors I and II are installed at the exits of the first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller. The cold metal detectors I and II detect the signals of I and II when the head of the billet reaches the cold metal detectors and the signals when the tail of the billet passes over the cold metal detectors I and II during the process of the billet being transported from the first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller to the trolley group I roller and the trolley group II roller.

[0035] A programmable logic controller is configured to control the deceleration, positioning and precise stopping of the ingot on the transfer trolley in response to the signals detected by the cold metal detectors I and II.

[0036] Through the above technical scheme of the utility model, the utility model removes the cold metal detector from the roller of the transfer trolley and installs it to the outlet of the flow channel weighing roller. The cold metal detector is not installed on the transfer trolley, thereby eliminating the error of the cold metal detector detection signal caused by vibration or shaking; the utility model can complete the detection function of three groups of cold metal detectors in the existing design through the design of one group of cold metal detectors and PLC, and realize the deceleration of the ingot on the transfer trolley, the ingot placement and the precise stopping.

[0037] In the above positioning device, the programmable logic controller includes a plurality of timers.

[0038] In the above positioning device, the programmable logic controller is configured to trigger and maintain the signal for the transfer trolley to collect the ingot at a low speed after multiple timer delays when the cold metal detector detects that the ingot head has reached the cold metal detector and is shielded from light.

[0039] In the above positioning device, the programmable logic controller is configured to trigger and maintain the signal that the billet is in place after multiple timer delays when the cold metal detector detects that the tail of the billet has passed the cold metal detector, and control the roller table of the transfer trolley to stop.

[0040] In the above positioning device, the programmable logic controller is configured to implement jitter filtering of the detection signal by delaying connection and delaying disconnection of different timers within respective preset time ranges when the cold metal detector is triggered by external interference.

[0041] The above structure of the utility model is described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the positioning device of the ingot on the transfer trolley provided by the prior art. Figure 1 In the process, the precise stopping of the ingot on the roller group I (II) of the transfer trolley is mainly completed by the three groups of cold metal detectors I, III, and V (II, IV, and VI) arranged on the roller group I (II) of the transfer trolley: the cold metal detectors of group I (II) detect the head of the ingot and generate a signal that the ingot is being transported from the weighing roller to the transfer trolley; the cold metal detectors of group III (IV) detect the deceleration signal of the roller group I (II) of the transfer trolley; the cold metal detectors of group V (VI) detect the head of the ingot and generate a stopping signal; the detections of groups III (IV) and V (VI) together generate a signal that the ingot is on the roller group I (II) of the transfer trolley.

[0043] However, in the present invention, if Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2The schematic diagram of the structure of the positioning device of the ingot on the transfer trolley provided by the utility model is shown. The utility model removes the cold metal detectors of group I (II) from the rollers of group I (II) of the transfer trolley and installs them at the exit of the first-stream weighing roller and the second-stream weighing roller. The remaining two groups of cold metal detectors of group III, V, IV and VI on the transfer trolley are all removed and not used. The cold metal detector is not on the transfer trolley, eliminating the error of the cold metal detector detection signal caused by vibration or shaking. Through the design of the cold metal detectors of group I (II) and the S7PLC timer, the detection functions of the three groups of cold metal detectors of group I, III and V (II, IV and VI) of the original design are completed, and the deceleration, the ingot placement and the precise stopping of the ingot on the transfer trolley are realized.

[0044] The following analysis is based on the transfer trolley 1 set of rollers (Ⅰ set of rollers) as an example.

[0045] like Figure 2-3 As shown, during the process of the billet being transported from the first-stage weighing roller to the group I roller of the transfer trolley, when the head of the billet reaches the group I cold metal detector and is shielded from light, the detection signal I1016.3 changes from "0" to "1", and the timer T56 delays for 1.5s and the state of the timer T57 changes from "0" to "1", further triggering the timer T58 to start timing. After 18s, the state of T58 changes from "0" to "1", triggering and maintaining the "trolley group 1 low-speed billet collection" signal, that is, M1011.2 changes from "0" to "1". When M1011.2=1, the "trolley group 1 high-speed request" signal is disconnected, that is, M13.3 changes from "1" to "0", and the trolley "trolley group 1 low-speed request" signal is connected at the same time, that is, M13.4 changes from "0" to "1", and the group I roller of the transfer trolley changes from high speed to low speed operation, preparing for precise parking.

[0046] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, when the tail of the billet passes over the cold metal detector of group I, the detection signal I1016.3 changes from "1" to "0", the timer T57 delays 3s and changes from "1" to "0", the falling edge detection M11.7 triggers the timer T19 delay 9s, triggers and maintains the "trolley group 1 billet in place" signal, that is, M1011.3 changes from "0" to "1". When M1011.3=1, the high-speed and low-speed requests of trolley group 1 are disconnected, that is, M13.3=M13.4=0, the roller table of trolley group 1 stops, that is, the roller table of trolley group I stops, and the billet is transported to the roller table of transfer trolley group I.

[0047] In addition, the sensitivity of the cold metal detector is very high, and it is easy to be disturbed by the momentary interference of on-site vibration, shaking, water vapor, human activities, etc., triggering instantaneous error signals; at the same time, when the equipment personnel and operators inspect the equipment, they need to block the light for a moment to judge its working status, and at this time, a trigger signal that is not necessary for the control S7PLC will be generated. The above two situations will cause the transfer trolley to fail to run automatically. In order to eliminate the adverse effects of these abnormal interference signals on the automatic operation of the transfer trolley, it is necessary to use the S7PLC timer and design a jitter filter. Figure 3 As shown, when external interference triggers group I cold metal detectors, I1016.3=1 or I1016.3=0. As long as it is within the time range of 1.5s and 3s, the jitter filtering of the detection signal is realized by the delayed connection of timer T56 and the delayed disconnection of T57, and the ingot position signal I1016.3 maintains the state before triggering, thus shielding the interference.

[0048] It can be seen that the utility model removes the cold metal detector from the roller conveyor of the transfer trolley and installs it at the exit of the runner weighing roller conveyor. The cold metal detector is not installed on the transfer trolley, thereby eliminating the error of the cold metal detector detection signal caused by vibration or shaking; the utility model can complete the detection function of three groups of cold metal detectors in the existing design through the design of one group of cold metal detectors and PLC, and realize the deceleration of the ingot on the transfer trolley, the ingot placement and the precise stopping.
