Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel rolling, in particular to a strip steel surface quality inspection device. Background Art
[0002] In the face of the ever-increasing product quality requirements of users of automotive steel and home appliance plates and the market competition, it is particularly important to ensure that quality inspectors can quickly and accurately detect quality defects on the surface of the strip at the quality inspection stations of each cold rolling unit. At present, the quality inspection stations of each cold rolling unit at home and abroad are generally divided into vertical quality inspection stations and horizontal quality inspection stations to achieve the quality inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the strip. Figure 1 Among them, the vertical quality inspection table manually completes the quality inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the strip through visual inspection. The vertical quality inspection table is often either too short or too high, which has an adverse impact on the quality inspection personnel's work in checking the surface defects of the strip while the unit is running. It often leads to missed defects or defects running through the vertical quality inspection table. After the defect runs through the vertical quality inspection table, it is rechecked through the quality inspection instrument (i.e., surface inspection instrument) on the surface of the unit to confirm the location of the defect. However, the returned steel strip increases the occurrence of new defects such as scratches and dents, which causes the loss of finished product production, reduces the yield rate, increases production costs, and weakens the survival vitality of steel companies in the fierce competition in the industry.

[0027] [Example 1]
[0028] Strip quality inspection is carried out in the vertical quality inspection area of the quality inspection table of each cold rolling unit. When the unit is running, the surface defects of the strip are inspected. Figure 1 After checking the steel strip from the vertical quality inspection area, the machine is slowed down, stopped, or the defects are missed and then stopped and slowed down again. Then the defects are reviewed through the surface quality inspection instrument on the operating table next to the machine. This is time-consuming and has a cumbersome work rhythm. A strip surface quality inspection device and method, see Figure 2 ,See Figure 3 , helping quality inspectors to identify the locations of quality defects during unit operation and make decisions immediately.
[0029] A strip surface quality inspection device includes steering roller 1, steering roller 2, steering roller 3, steering roller 4, steering roller 5, upper surface surface inspection instrument measuring head 301, upper surface stroboscope lamp head 601, lower surface stroboscope lamp head 602, vertical quality inspection platform 6, display screen 1 605, display screen 2 603, client 701, surface quality inspection instrument cabinet 702, network distributor 703, upper surface side control unit start and stop control box 606, lower surface side control unit start and stop control box 604, lower surface surface inspection instrument measuring head 401, horizontal quality inspection platform 8, LED lighting group 801; the vertical quality inspection platform 6 and the central control console 7 are located between steering roller 3 3 and steering roller 4 4, and the two are arranged in sequence. Steering rollers 3 (3) and 4 (4) are each equipped with a top surface inspection instrument measuring head (301) and a bottom surface inspection instrument measuring head (401), located adjacent to each other. These instruments measure the strip's surface quality defects in real time and upload images of the strip's defect characteristics to the surface quality inspection instrument system (702) on the central console (7). The vertical quality inspection platform (6) features top and bottom surface stroboscope lamps (601 and 602) for inspecting the strip's top and bottom surfaces. Display screens 1 (605) and 2 (603) are located on either side of the steel structure columns of the vertical quality inspection platform (6), near the strip, allowing quality inspectors to quickly and in real time check the strip's surface quality. To facilitate prompting quality inspectors on the timeliness of quality inspections, a client (701) has been added to train the defect expert database and review defects in the surface inspection instrument defect expert system. Real-time images of strip surface quality defects, collected from the on-site upper / lower surface inspection instrument's measuring heads 301 / 401, are displayed on split screens on display screen 1 605 and display screen 2 603 via the client host 701 operating system software. These images are then used by quality inspectors for real-time assessment, thereby improving the efficiency of online surface quality inspections. The upper surface-side control panel 606 and the lower surface-side control panel 604 both feature buttons for quick stop, acceleration, and stop. These panels are fixed to the steel structure columns of the vertical quality inspection platform 6, reducing the frequency of inspection stops and mitigating new quality defects caused by strip drooping due to frequent inspection stops.
[0030] To facilitate quality inspectors' inspection of strip quality on the vertical quality inspection platform 6, the stroboscope lamp heads 601 on the upper surface and 602 on the lower surface of the vertical quality inspection platform 6 can adjust the frequency and intensity of the projected light. By projecting a combination of spectra of different frequencies and light intensities, quality inspectors can provide optical support for accurately identifying and judging surface quality defects of the strip. To meet the inspection needs of various cold-rolled plates, the steering roller 5 5 stabilizes the tension of the strip in front and behind the center console 7. It is used in combination with the horizontal quality inspection platform 8 and the LED lighting group 801. The LED lighting group 801 is located above the horizontal quality inspection platform 8 and has adjustable illumination. The illumination is ≥800 lux to ensure the quality inspection of cold-rolled plate production. To ensure that all production line roller systems for various cold-rolled plates have coverage of quality defects, the horizontal quality inspection platform 8 must be ≥6500mm long.
[0031] Working process:
[0032] S01, wear the belt
[0033] The strip passes through turning roller 1, turning roller 2, turning roller 3, passes through the upper surface surface inspection instrument measuring head 301, passes through the upper surface stroboscope lamp head 601 and the lower surface stroboscope lamp head 602, and enters the vertical quality inspection table 6, so that part of the strip is located in the vertical quality inspection table 6 area between turning roller 3 3 and the third turning roller 4 in a tensioned, straight, stable, shake-free state with sufficient inspection length, so as to perform surface quality inspection on this part of the strip.
[0034] S02, vertical quality inspection table 6
[0035] By using the upper surface side control unit start and stop control box 606 and the lower surface side control unit start and stop control box 604, quality inspectors can control the operation or stop of the unit strip according to the type and severity of the strip surface quality defects; the upper surface side control unit start and stop control box 606 and the lower surface side control unit start and stop control box 604 both have unit quick stop, unit acceleration, and unit stop button operations, so that quality inspectors can quickly adjust the strip advance degree according to the severity of the strip surface defects, thereby realizing a fast and flexible strip quality inspection function; by installing and fixing the upper surface side control unit start and stop control box 606 and the lower surface side control unit start and stop control box 604 on the steel structure column of the vertical quality inspection platform 6, at the closest safe distance from the strip, quality inspectors can quickly and in real time check the strip quality defects without stopping the unit, thereby reducing the frequency of shutdown inspections, improving the production efficiency of cold-rolled plates, and effectively avoiding the generation of new quality defects caused by strip sagging due to frequent shutdowns for quality inspections.
[0036] S03, horizontal quality inspection table 8
[0037] By combining the horizontal quality inspection platform 8 and the LED lighting group 801 above it, the illumination of the LED lighting group 801 can be adjusted according to the needs of quality inspectors; the strip is controlled by adjusting the torque of the steering roller 5 to inspect the upper surface of the strip in a more stable state; the length of the horizontal quality inspection platform 8 is ≥6500mm, which covers the quality defects of the roller system of all cold rolling production lines and avoids blind spots in the inspection of quality inspection defects from a physical perspective.
[0038] S04, surface inspection of vertical quality inspection table 6
[0039] When the unit is running, adjust the light frequency and brightness of the stroboscope lamp head 601 on the upper surface and the stroboscope lamp head 602 on the lower surface to ensure that the quality inspection personnel can conduct quality inspection with the most comfortable light perception;
[0040] By using the first display screen 605 and the second display screen 603, the quality inspector can quickly and synchronously compare the defects of the running strip with the real-time display content of the first display screen 605 / the second display screen 603 on either side of the upper or lower surface of the strip. The vertical quality inspection table 6 is used to realize the rapid quality inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the strip without stopping the machine.
[0041] See Figure 4 , display screen one 605 and display screen two 603, collect the real-time measurement data of the upper surface inspection instrument measuring head 301 and the lower surface inspection instrument measuring head 401 into the surface quality inspection instrument cabinet 702, and then the quality defect expert database application software in the central console client 701 realizes classification and identification, and the system software performs split-screen processing. The system software uses SISTerminal and transmits it to display screen one 605 and display screen two 603 through the network distributor 703, which improves the timeliness and accuracy of quality inspection operations.
[0042] S05. Surface inspection of horizontal quality inspection table
[0043] When the unit is running or stopped, adjust the illumination of the LED lighting group to ≥800lux to provide a guarantee for the final product inspection; a sufficient number of mosquito-killing lamps need to be installed around the LED lighting group 801 to prevent mosquitoes from being attracted by the brightness of the LED lighting group 801 in summer and autumn and gathering around the light and falling onto the surface of the strip, causing new quality defects and interfering with the quality stability of the cold-rolled plate.
[0044] The utility model does not need manual visual inspection, and adopts the measuring head of the upper surface inspection instrument and the measuring head of the lower surface inspection instrument to upload the picture information to the first display screen and the second display screen, so that the quality inspectors can observe the pictures at any time. The vertical quality inspection table and the horizontal quality inspection table are adopted to realize the double-sided rapid quality inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the strip without stopping the machine. The stroboscope lamp head is arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the vertical quality inspection table to provide optical guarantee for the quality inspectors to check the surface quality of the strip. The strip passes through the turning roller one, the turning roller two, the turning roller three, the upper surface inspection instrument measuring head, the upper surface stroboscope lamp head and the lower surface stroboscope lamp head, and enters the vertical The quality inspection table allows part of the strip to be located in the vertical quality inspection table area between the third turning roller and the third turning roller in a state of tension, straightness, stability, no shaking, and sufficient inspection length, which is convenient for quality inspectors to conduct surface quality inspection on this part of the strip; the start and stop control box of the upper surface side control unit and the start and stop control box of the lower surface side control unit are both installed and fixed on the vertical quality inspection table column, so as to be close to the safest distance of the strip, which is convenient for quality inspectors to operate, reduces the frequency of shutdown inspections, improves the production efficiency of cold-rolled plates, and avoids the occurrence of new quality defects caused by strip sagging due to frequent shutdowns for quality inspections.
