Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bar rolling, and in particular relates to a device for monitoring the stability of bar rolling quality. Background Art

[0002] Titanium alloy tubes and bars have excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and are therefore widely used in applications requiring high strength, lightness, and durability. They are mainly used in aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical equipment, and other fields. Titanium alloy rolling is a hot working process, and strict temperature control is required in each rolling pass. Reasonable control of the temperature of each rolling pass can ensure that the product has good plasticity during the rolling process, while improving production efficiency and reducing costs. In addition, temperature and time control during the rolling of titanium alloy bars also have a direct impact on the performance and safety of the product. In certain applications, such as blades for aircraft engines and titanium alloy bolts for large ships, insufficient strength of titanium alloys due to problems with rolling time and temperature control may lead to major accidents.

[0003] Traditionally, quality control of the titanium alloy bar rolling process relies primarily on manual labor. Operators monitor rolling time and temperature using a stopwatch and temperature gun, recording the initial and final temperatures, and the duration of each pass in paper records. Ultimately, they calculate the time and temperature deviations and CPK values for each bar to determine whether the process meets requirements. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, subject to significant human intervention, and prone to recording errors.

[0004] Chinese patent CN105521996A discloses a hot roller heating rolling device and method for magnesium alloy strips. Specifically, the method uses a first infrared thermometer and a second infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the rollers and the inlet and outlet ends of the rolled piece, respectively, every 5 seconds. When the rolled piece temperature meets the required temperature, rolling is continued. When the rolled piece temperature does not meet the set rolling temperature, the rolling temperature is corrected. This solution only focuses on the impact of temperature on rolling and does not mention strict control of rolling time. This can lead to abnormal rolling temperatures that do not meet expectations due to rolling time issues, resulting in unnecessary corrections to the rolling temperature. Furthermore, when the rolling temperature is determined to be abnormal, it is impossible to respond and control subsequent operations in a timely manner, affecting the overall rolling process, generating unnecessary rolled semi-finished products, and reducing rolling efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides a bar rolling quality stability monitoring device, which can be applied to the rolling production of metal, alloy and non-metallic bars 300. The following schemes are all described using titanium alloy bars 300 as an example.

[0022] like Figure 2As shown, the bar rolling quality stability monitoring device includes a frame, at least two rolling mechanisms 100 arranged on the frame, two temperature measuring components 400, a timing mechanism, a closing mechanism 500 and an industrial control mechanism. The two temperature measuring components 400 are respectively arranged on the two rolling mechanisms 100 located at the beginning and the end. The closing mechanism 500 is provided with a stopper 51 corresponding to the number of the rolling mechanisms 100. The stopper 51 is arranged below the rolling hole 100A of the rolling mechanism 100. The stopper 51 is rotatably connected to the rolling mechanism 100 to close or open the rolling hole 100A. The rolling mechanism 100, the temperature measuring component 400, the timing mechanism and the stopper 51 are all electrically / signally connected to the industrial control mechanism.

[0023] The present invention provides a device for monitoring the quality stability of bar rolling, including a frame, at least two rolling mechanisms 100 mounted on the frame, two temperature measuring elements 400, a timing mechanism, a closing mechanism 500, and an industrial control mechanism. The two temperature measuring elements 400 are mounted on the two rolling mechanisms 100 at the beginning and end, respectively. The closing mechanism 500 is equipped with a corresponding number of stoppers 51, each located below the rolling holes 100A of the rolling mechanisms 100. The rolling mechanisms 100, temperature measuring elements 400, timing mechanism, and stoppers 51 are all electrically and signal-connected to the industrial control mechanism. The industrial control mechanism collects key quality control parameters based on the temperature measuring elements 400 and timing mechanism, plots an SPC chart in real time, and derives a key quality indicator (CPK), thereby reducing human error. The industrial control mechanism determines whether the rolling process is qualified based on the key quality indicator CPK, thereby controlling the stopper 51 to rotate and connect with the rolling mechanism 100 to close or open the rolling hole 100A, effectively controlling the quality control in the rolling production process and improving production efficiency and production quality.

[0024] Optionally, the industrial control mechanism includes a data collector 700 and an industrial control computer 800 , and the data collector 700 is electrically / signally connected to the temperature measuring element 400 , the timing mechanism, and the industrial control computer 800 .

[0025] Optionally, the timing mechanism is provided with a timing element corresponding to each rolling mechanism 100 , and two adjacent timing elements respectively record the time when the titanium alloy bar 300 enters the corresponding rolling mechanism 100 to calculate the rolling transfer time.

[0026] Optionally, the timing component is a grating sensor 600 .

[0027] Optionally, the temperature measuring element 400 is a high-precision infrared thermometer.

[0028] It should be noted that this bar rolling quality stability monitoring device is suitable for a multi-roll mill with three-stage rolling (roughing, intermediate, and finishing). A worker feeds a titanium alloy bar 300 through the rolling hole 100A, where the rollers rotate to drive the titanium alloy bar 300 through the rolling hole 100A. As the titanium alloy bar 300 passes through the rolling hole 100A, the temperature measuring element 400 receives the hot material temperature signal and transmits it to the data acquisition device 700. The grating sensor 600 receives the hot material light signal, determines the material is at the rolling hole 100A, and transmits it to the data acquisition device 700. Both the temperature measuring element 400 and the grating sensor 600 are capable of connecting to an industrial control unit, enabling real-time transmission of measurement results to the data acquisition device 700. The data acquisition device 700 is connected to an industrial control computer 800, which transmits the processed data to the industrial control computer 800. The industrial control computer 800 then plots the SPC chart in real time and determines whether the CPK parameters meet the standards.

[0029] Combined with reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the closing mechanism 500 includes a plurality of closing components, each closing component includes a driving member 52 (control motor) and a stop member 51, the driving member 52 is provided on the rolling mechanism 100 and is connected to the industrial control mechanism, and the industrial control mechanism controls the driving member 52 to drive the stop member 51 to rotate relative to the rolling mechanism 100 to open or close the rolling hole 100A.

[0030] Optionally, the stopper 51 includes a baffle 512 and two hook arms 511 located on either side of the baffle 512. The ends of the hook arms 511, which are away from the baffle 512, are in transmission connection with the driver 52. The hook arms 511 rotate and drive the baffle 512 to abut against or away from the rolling mechanism 100. The closing mechanism 500 is composed of a plurality of stoppers 51 and a driver 52 electrically connected thereto. The baffle 512 is driven by a control motor according to control instructions, thereby controlling whether the titanium alloy bar 300 is allowed to pass through the rolling hole 100A.

[0031] Optionally, the bar rolling quality stability monitoring device further includes an alarm mechanism 900 , which is electrically / signally connected to the industrial control mechanism.

[0032] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the alarm mechanism 900, the data collector 700 and the industrial control computer 800 constitute the judgment and warning part of the automatic judgment device for the dimensional quality stability of the titanium alloy bar 300. Figure 1The multi-roll mill temperature measuring device 400 and the grating sensor 600 are connected to collect and process real-time temperature and position data of the titanium alloy bar 300. An industrial computer 800 is connected to the closing mechanism 500 to control the rotation of at least one baffle 512 of the closing mechanism 500 to control the opening and closing of the rolling hole 100A. A data collector 700 is connected to the industrial computer 800 to transmit processed data to the industrial computer 800. The industrial computer 800 generates an SPC chart in real time and determines whether the CPK parameter is qualified. If the CPK value is found to be outside the specified range, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm mechanism 900.

[0033] Optionally, the alarm mechanism 900 is configured as an indicator light; and / or, the alarm mechanism 900 is configured as a sound prompter.

[0034] In this embodiment, the alarm mechanism 900 can use the flashing of the indicator light alone as an alarm signal, or use the sound prompter alone as an alarm signal, or use both as alarm signals at the same time. For example, as an audible and visual alarm, the alarm mechanism 900 flashes and issues an alarm.

[0035] In industrial control organizations, the data collector 700 is developed using embedded programming. Leveraging built-in modules like the 8266 for communication and data preprocessing, it allows for rapid deployment, startup, interaction, and shutdown. The industrial control computer 800 incorporates an SPC plotting module, a CPK automatic calculation module, and backend services. The frontend utilizes a Vue architecture for rapid data display and CPK calculation. The backend utilizes lightweight Docker containers for rapid deployment, startup, and shutdown.

[0036] The specific method of using the bar rolling quality stability monitoring device is as follows:

[0037] First, start the multiple rolling mechanisms 100, temperature measuring components 400, closing mechanisms 500, grating sensors 600, data collectors 700, and industrial computers 800 of the multi-roll rolling mill. After the rolling mechanism 100 is started, the hot titanium alloy bar 300 is placed into the left rolling hole 100A, and the titanium alloy bar 300 is driven by the rolling motor to pass through the rolling hole 100A.

[0038] The titanium alloy bar 300 is sequentially passed through each rolling hole 100A by the operator from left to right. When passing through the first and last rolling holes 100A on the left and right sides, two temperature measuring devices 400 respectively record the starting and ending rolling temperatures and transmit the data to the industrial control computer 800 via the data acquisition device 700. As the titanium alloy bar 300 passes through each rolling hole 100A, the corresponding grating sensor 600 records the time point at which the material passes through each rolling hole 100A based on the sensing signal. The rolling transfer time is calculated by calculating the difference in the time points at which the titanium alloy bar 300 passes through each rolling hole 100A. Based on the rolling transfer time and temperature, the industrial control computer 800 automatically determines whether to open the closing mechanism 500. If the processing conditions are not met, the baffle 512 is automatically driven to rotate to close the rolling hole 100A, preventing the material from completing the rolling.

[0039] It should be noted that the rolling transfer time is calculated by the grating sensor 600, and then the starting rolling temperature and the final rolling temperature are combined to judge whether the rolling process is qualified, thereby determining whether the baffle 512 is closed or the rolling hole 100A is opened. As a result, the entire device only needs to be equipped with two temperature measuring components 400, and there is no need to set a temperature measuring component 400 on each rolling mechanism 100, which reduces the investment in material costs and can also accurately control the rolling process.

[0040] Based on the incoming data, industrial computer 800 automatically plots SPC analysis charts for the starting and ending rolling temperatures and rolling transfer time. It also calculates the CPK value based on the incoming real-time data. If the calculated CPK value for the titanium alloy bar 300 is less than 1.33, the bar is deemed unqualified and the aforementioned alarm mechanism 900 is activated. The closing mechanism 500 is then controlled to rotate the baffle 512 to close the rolling hole 100A, notifying the operator to stop the operation and conduct an inspection.

[0041] The rolling production using the above-mentioned bar rolling quality stability monitoring device can calculate and collect key quality control parameters in real time without human intervention, draw SPC charts in real time and derive key quality indicators CPK, without the need for subsequent measurement and calculation. The system device is fixed in position, and the operator only needs to perform normal operations to automatically measure, reducing human errors. With fully automatic measurement, early warning and quality intervention, the operator only needs to perform normal operations, reducing labor costs. Once the temperature or rolling time is measured to be out of standard, an automatic alarm can be issued and the operation can be stopped in time through the baffle 512 to ensure that the rolled product is qualified, thereby improving the quality control of the production process. The system can respond efficiently to abnormal situations, accurately measure, collect and calculate the rolling temperature and rolling time, making the rolling quality of titanium alloy bar 300 stable and having broad application prospects.
