Description

Control method of non-sinusoidal hydraulic vibration curve of crystallizer Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical continuous casting automation technology, and relates to a method for controlling the non-sinusoidal hydraulic vibration curve of a crystallizer. Background Technology

[0002] High-efficiency continuous casting is the main direction of modern continuous casting technology development, encompassing high casting speed, high quality, high operating rate, and high-temperature hot charging. High casting speed is one of the main hallmarks of modern continuous casting technology development. However, high casting speed increases friction between the billet and the crystallizer, leading to quality or production accidents such as billet cracking and leakage. Therefore, on the one hand, suitable protective slag for high-speed casting is added; on the other hand, a crystallizer vibration mode adapted to high-speed casting is adopted. Non-sinusoidal vibration is a new crystallizer vibration technology developed to meet the needs of high-speed casting. To meet the demands of continuous casting production, the ideal non-sinusoidal vibration curve should have characteristics such as low upper vibration velocity, high lower vibration velocity, short negative slip time, continuous and smooth velocity curve, and stable acceleration changes. However, existing non-sinusoidal vibration modes all have some problems, such as abrupt acceleration changes, limited skewness, and complex models. To improve billet quality and reduce impact on equipment, a new type of non-sinusoidal crystallizer vibration mode needs to be proposed to improve the vibration waveform, increase production efficiency, and reduce production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method for the non-sinusoidal hydraulic vibration curve of a crystallizer. This method optimizes the non-sinusoidal vibration curve, realizes a smooth and stable cylinder motion speed curve with small peak values, and continuous, smooth, and abrupt acceleration changes. The control method is simple, easy to implement, and has few control parameters, making it easy to operate.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for controlling the non-sinusoidal hydraulic vibration curve of a crystallizer employs a three-segment linear-sinusoidal composite function. One vibration cycle of the position curve comprises three stages: the first stage is a standard sine function with an angular velocity of ω1 and a slope of... The quasi-sine curve obtained by superimposing and composing linear functions, the second stage is a standard sine function with an angular velocity of ω2 and a slope of Offset is The quasi-sine curve obtained by superimposing and composing linear functions, the third stage is a standard sine function with angular velocity ω1 and a slope of Offset is The sinusoidal curve obtained by superimposing and composing linear functions connects with the sinusoidal curve of the first stage at different sampling times.

[0006] As can be seen from the continuous cycle period, this function is obtained by connecting a sinusoidal curve obtained by superimposing and transforming a standard sine curve with angular velocities of ω1 and ω2 with a linear function of different slopes. The position curve equation of the non-sinusoidal vibration curve is as follows:

[0007] in,

[0008] ω1 and ω2 are the angular velocities of two standard sine curves, with corresponding vibration periods T1 and T2, respectively, in ms; t is the sampling time of the vibration curve in ms, and a is the steady rise time of the vibration curve in ms, and T2 = aT1.

[0009] The vibration velocity curve equation for a certain period corresponding to the non-sinusoidal vibration curve equation is as follows:

[0010] Therefore, based on the above vibration velocity curve equation and the principle of extreme values, the times corresponding to the minimum and maximum vibration positions within one period, i.e., the moments when the vibration velocity equals 0, can be determined. This can be obtained from the following formula:

[0011] have to

[0012] in:

[0013] t min The unit is ms, which is the time corresponding to the minimum vibration position within one cycle.

[0014] t max The unit is milliseconds (ms), which is the time corresponding to the maximum vibration position within one cycle.

[0015] Vibration skewness is defined as the proportion of the difference between the times when the slope of the vibration curve is positive and the times when the slope is negative within one vibration cycle to the entire vibration cycle. Therefore, the skewness of a non-sinusoidal vibration curve is calculated as follows:

[0016] Where T = T1 + T2 is the time of one vibration period, in milliseconds (ms).

[0017] As can be seen from the above formula, the skewness of the non-sinusoidal vibration curve is only related to the ratio of the vibration period parameters T1 and T2.

[0018] The equation for the vibration acceleration curve corresponding to a certain period of the non-sinusoidal vibration curve equation is as follows:

[0019] As can be seen from the above formula, the vibration acceleration curve consists of three standard sine curves that connect at the edge of the range. As can be seen from the above function, the acceleration of the vibration curve changes gradually and is a smooth curve without abrupt changes.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0021] 1) The non-sinusoidal vibration curve composed of a three-segment linear-sinusoidal composite function has a longer rise time and a faster fall speed, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of protective slag, enhance the lubrication effect of the crystallizer, and reduce steel leakage accidents. In addition, the vibration speed of the above non-sinusoidal vibration curve is smooth and stable, and the speed peak is reduced. It also ensures that the change of vibration acceleration is more gradual, smooth and continuous without abrupt changes, which minimizes the impact and damage to the equipment and is very friendly to the equipment, effectively extending the service life of the vibration equipment.

[0022] (2) The vibration control method is realized by combining the above non-sinusoidal vibration curve equation. Its parameter setting is simple and can be changed with any process value. Therefore, the above vibration waveform can be applied to slab, flat billet, small square billet continuous casting machine, etc. It is simple to implement, has a wide range of applications, and is highly practical.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7. This invention provides a method for controlling the non-sinusoidal hydraulic vibration curve of a crystallizer. It employs a three-segment linear-sinusoidal composite function, where one vibration cycle of the position curve comprises three stages: the first stage is a standard sine function with an angular velocity of ω1 and a slope of... The quasi-sine curve obtained by superimposing and composing linear functions, the second stage is a standard sine function with an angular velocity of ω2 and a slope of Offset is The quasi-sine curve obtained by superimposing and composing linear functions, the third stage is a standard sine function with angular velocity ω1 and a slope of Offset is The sinusoidal curve obtained by superimposing and composing linear functions connects with the sinusoidal curve of the first stage at different sampling times.

[0036] As can be seen from the continuous cycle period, this function is obtained by connecting a sinusoidal curve obtained by superimposing and transforming a standard sine curve with angular velocities of ω1 and ω2 with a linear function of different slopes. The position curve equation of the non-sinusoidal vibration curve is as follows:

[0037] in,

[0038] ω1 and ω2 are the angular velocities of two standard sine curves, with corresponding vibration periods T1 and T2, respectively, in ms; t is the sampling time of the vibration curve in ms, and a is the steady rise time of the vibration curve in ms, and T2 = aT1.

[0039] The vibration velocity curve equation for a certain period corresponding to the non-sinusoidal vibration curve equation is as follows:

[0040] Therefore, based on the above vibration velocity curve equation and the principle of extreme values, the times corresponding to the minimum and maximum vibration positions within one period, i.e., the moments when the vibration velocity equals 0, can be determined. This can be obtained from the following formula:

[0041] have to

[0042] in:

[0043] t min The unit is ms, which is the time corresponding to the minimum vibration position within one cycle.

[0044] t max The unit is milliseconds (ms), which is the time corresponding to the maximum vibration position within one cycle.

[0045] Vibration skewness is defined as the proportion of the difference between the times when the slope of the vibration curve is positive and the times when the slope is negative within one vibration cycle to the entire vibration cycle. Therefore, the skewness of a non-sinusoidal vibration curve is calculated as follows:

[0046] Where T = T1 + T2 is the time of one vibration period, in milliseconds (ms).

[0047] As can be seen from the above formula, the skewness of the non-sinusoidal vibration curve is only related to the ratio of the vibration period parameters T1 and T2.

[0048] The equation for the vibration acceleration curve corresponding to a certain period of the non-sinusoidal vibration curve equation is as follows:

[0049] As can be seen from the above formula, the vibration acceleration curve consists of three standard sine curves that connect at the edge of the range. As can be seen from the above function, the acceleration of the vibration curve changes gradually and is a smooth curve without abrupt changes.

[0050] In this embodiment, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0051] 1) Set the vibration amplitude H to 4mm and the vibration frequency to 150 times / min, that is, the vibration period T is 400ms;

[0052] 2) Based on the above basic parameters, set the skewness of the vibration curve s = 20%, which corresponds to T1 = 276 ms and T2 = 124 ms, thereby obtaining the angular velocity. angular velocity

[0053] 3) Based on the above parameters and the formula derivation, the position curve, vibration velocity curve, and vibration acceleration curve of one cycle of vibration are obtained, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3.

[0054] 4) Through the cyclic vibration process, the vibration position, velocity, and acceleration curves for multiple cycles are obtained, as shown in Figure 4;

[0055] 5) Return to step 2), keeping the oscillation period constant, and change the skewness. Set s to 0%, 10%, and 20% respectively. The corresponding T1 values ​​are 400ms, 320ms, and 276ms, and the corresponding T2 values ​​are 0ms, 80ms, and 124ms. Therefore, the corresponding angular velocities ω1 are... Angular velocity ω2 corresponds to 0, Then, perform steps 3) to 4) in sequence to obtain the corresponding vibration position, velocity, and acceleration curves, as shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7.

[0056] As shown in the above embodiments, the non-sinusoidal vibration position curve is smooth and stable, and the parameter settings can be changed according to any process value. The velocity curve shows that the velocity change is small during the upward vibration process, rising smoothly and steadily for most of the time, with a slight decrease in velocity at one point, reducing the peak velocity. This significantly reduces the friction between the crystallizer and the billet, improving vibration stability. During the downward vibration process, the crystallizer velocity changes rapidly and smoothly in a quasi-sinusoidal manner, significantly reducing the negative slip time. Furthermore, the acceleration curve shows that the acceleration change is continuous and smooth without abrupt changes, greatly reducing the impact and damage to the equipment, making it very equipment-friendly and effectively extending its service life.

[0057] In summary, the control method for the non-sinusoidal hydraulic vibration curve of the crystallizer achieves a smooth and stable cylinder motion speed curve, continuous acceleration changes without abrupt changes, and its control parameters can be changed according to any process value. The skewness can be arbitrarily selected within 20%. It is simple to implement, has a wide range of applications, and is highly practical.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
