This application is a U.S. national phase entry under 35 USC § 371 of Patent Cooperation Treaty Application No. PCT/CN2020/115226 filed Sep. 15, 2020, which in turn claims priority from Chinese Patent Application 201911149731.1 filed Nov. 21, 2019. Each of the above described applications which is incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present invention relates to the coiling equipment of hot rolled plates, and to a control method of hot mill coiler side guides based on spark recognition.
The existing coiling related equipment of a hot rolled strip 20 can refer to
In the controlled process of hot continuous rolling and coiling, the control of side guides is vital, which directly related to the edge quality and the shape quality of the hot rolled strip 20.
The existing control system mainly adopts a method of the short stroke preset to control the opening of side guides, that is, in different stages of the coiling process, the opening between the two side guides 11 is adjusted to a preset opening. During the whole controlled process, if the controlled opening of side guides is too small, on the one side, it is easy to cause serious strip edge damage or even steel jamming; on the other hand, it will lead to the localized wear of the side guides, shortening its service cycle. If the controlled opening of side guides is too large, it will lead to problems such as coil towers and coil edge misalignment. The basic reason of these problems is that after the hot rolled strip 20 enters the coiler pinch rolls 12, it is difficult to ensure that the side guides 11 exert symmetrical and moderate pressure on both sides of the hot rolled strip 20, and in the subsequent coiling process, the strip runs along the front center line.
For above-mentioned situations, patents CN200810037476 and CN201410442427 adopt alternate control of the pressure and the position of side guides to ensure stable clamping force of side guides on both sides of the strip. Patent KR900675B1 compares the standard rolling force and preset noise with the measured rolling force and measured noise to determine whether the strip is twisted, to finally control the position of side guides. Patent JP2006263779A discloses that the bending amount of the strip can be obtained according to the opening difference or the load difference between the drive side and the work side of the pinch roll, and the opening of the side guides can be corrected according to the bending amount. However, all these patents disclose indirect control methods, the actual clamping force of the side guides on the strip and the position of the centerline of the strip cannot be known.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method of hot mill coiler side guides based on spark recognition. This method can keep the hot rolled strip in the relative center of the coil, reduce the wear of the side guides, and simultaneously avoid various defect problems of the coil and make the coil in good shape.

The control method of the side guides in the present embodiment includes the following steps.
The step of preparatory opening adjustment: before a hot rolled strip 20 enters the area of the side guides 11, adjusting the opening of said side guides 11 to a preparatory opening.
More specifically, adjusting the opening of the side guides 11 to a preparatory opening includes a first preparatory opening adjusting step and a second preparatory opening adjusting step. Specifically, the opening of the side guides 11 can be adjusted to the preparatory opening by means of a motor or a hydraulic device.
The first preparatory opening adjusting step: when the head of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the F3 stand 3, adjusting the opening of the side guides 11 to the first preparatory opening W1, and for each unilateral side guide 11, adjusting the position of said unilateral side guide 11 to ½W1. The first preparatory opening W1 can be obtained according to a tenth formula shown as W1=Wref+l1, wherein Wref is the target width value of the hot rolled strip 20 given by a process control computer, l1 is the opening margin of side guides, and the value of l1 ranges from 40˜60 mm.
The second preparatory opening adjusting step: when the head of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches a laser detector 10, adjusting the opening of the side guides 11 to a second preparatory opening W2, and for each unilateral side guide 11, adjusting the position of said unilateral side guide 11 to
The second preparatory opening W2 can be obtained according to an eleventh formula shown as W2=Wave+ldev+l2, wherein Wave is an average width of the hot rolled strip 20 when it goes out of a width gauge 8 by a length range L1, ldev is the deviation of the hot rolled strip 20 when it goes out of the width gauge 8 by the length range L1, wherein L1 is a preset length of width measure, the value of L1 ranges from 20˜50 mm, l2 the opening margin of side guides 11, and the value of l2 ranges from 15˜30 mm. Specifically, the above-mentioned deviation is the deviation of the centerline of the hot rolled strip 20 relative to the centerline of the coiler pinch rolls 12.
Before the hot rolled strip 20 enters the area of the side guides 11, the opening of the side guides 11 must be adjusted to the preparatory opening, which is mainly to enable the opening of the side guides 11 to roughly match the width of the hot rolled strip 20, so as to prepare for the subsequent fine adjustments.
When the head of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the F3 stand 3, the opening of the side guides 11 is adjusted to the first preparatory opening W1, and the first preparatory opening is determined according to the target width Wref of the hot rolled strip 20 given by the process control computer. When the head of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches the laser detector 10, the opening of the side guides 11 is adjusted to the second preparatory opening W2, and the second preparatory opening is determined according to the actual width of the hot rolled strip 20 measured by the width gauge 8.
The step of installation: the industrial camera 9 is installed obliquely above the entrance of the side guides 11, the range of the industrial camera 9 covers the whole area of each side guide 11, and the industrial camera 9 transmits the captured images to the detection system in real time via the communication line.

Referring to
The step of image analysis: for each unilateral side guide 11, the detection system implements a real-time analysis on the images of sparks taken by the industrial camera 9, wherein the sparks come from friction between the unilateral side guide 11 and the hot rolled strip 20, so as to identify the single spark having a largest transverse width generated on the unilateral side guide 11, and the transverse width of the spark is recorded as a spark width MS. Specifically, the above-mentioned “transverse” is in the same direction with the width direction of the hot rolled strip 20.
The spark width MS herein indicates the transverse width of the largest individual spark generated on the unilateral side guide 11. In the subsequent steps of the present embodiment, the spark width MS is used as a quantitative value to indicate the spark magnitude. In addition to quantifying the spark magnitude by the spark width, other measurements can be used, such as measuring by the spark area in the image or classifying analog quantities such as width or area as described above, creating a spark magnitude classification table, and then determining the corresponding class of the spark according to the table, and using the class to measure the spark. In general, the measurement value of the spark should be a quantitative value that can truly reflect the size of the sparks.
The step of dynamic adjustment: this step starting from the head of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches the coiler pinch rolls 12 till the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of said coiler pinch rolls 12.
This step comprises: setting a target spark width Maim, and performing a dynamic adjusting process of side guides for each unilateral side guide 11. The target spark width Maim herein is usually set in the industrial control PLC. Specifically, the value of the target spark width Maim can be set according to the actual situation.
Said dynamic adjusting process for each unilateral side guide comprises: obtaining a spark width deviation ΔMS of the unilateral side guide 11 according to a first formula shown as ΔMS=MS−Maim, and implementing a controlling adjusting method for the unilateral side guide 11 according to the spark width deviation ΔMS of the unilateral side guide 11.
When the thickness of said hot rolled strip 20 (that is the target delivery thickness of the hot continuous rolling and finish rolling) hstrip≤h, said controlling adjusting method for side guides is a position controlled adjusting method. When the thickness of said hot rolled strip 20 hstrip>h, said controlled adjusting method of side guides is a pressure controlled adjusting method, wherein h is a preset reference thickness.
Said position controlled adjusting method comprises: obtaining a position adjustment magnitude ΔWS of the side guides for the unilateral side guide 11 according to a second formula shown as
wherein Ktotal1 is total gain. The value of Ktotal1 is mainly considering the response capability of the actuator of the position of the side guides. KP1 is proportional coefficient, whose value is mainly considering the deviation of per unit width of the spark and the position of the side guides to be moved. KI1 is integral coefficient, whose value needs to take into account the speed and stability of the control system. Wherein the specific value of Ktotal1, KP1 and KI1 can be selected according to the actual adjustment results in the implementation process. S is Laplace operator,
indicates the integration of the spark width deviation ΔMS. Then the target position WS of side guides for the unilateral side guide 11 can be obtained according to a third formula shown as WS=WS′+ΔWS, wherein WS′ is the position of the unilateral side guide 11 before adjustment, and then the position of the unilateral side guide 11 is adjusted to the target position WS of side guides.
Said pressure controlled adjusting method comprises obtaining a pressure adjustment magnitude ΔPS of the side guides for the unilateral side guide 11 according to a fourth formula shown as
wherein Ktotal2 total gain. The value of Ktotal2 is mainly considering the response capability of the actuator of the pressure on the side guides. KP2 is proportional coefficient, whose value is mainly considering the deviation of per unit width of the spark and the pressure on the side guides to be adjusted. KI2 is integral coefficient, whose value needs to take into account the speed and stability of the control system. S is the Laplace operator,
indicates the integration of the spark width deviation ΔMS. Then the target pressure PS of side guides for the unilateral side guide 11 can be obtained according to a fifth formula shown as PS=PS′+ΔPS, wherein PS′ is the pressure on the unilateral side guide 11 before adjustment. Then adjusting the position of the unilateral side guide 11 so that the pressure on the unilateral side guide 11 is consistent with the target pressure PS of side guides.
The calculation and control process of the dynamic adjusting step is usually accomplished by the industrial control PLC. The detection system conveys the spark width MS to the industrial control PLC, during the coiling process of the hot rolled strip 20, PLC calculates the position or pressure adjustment magnitude according to the spark width MS of the unilateral side guide 11 based on the formulas, and then controls the adjustment of the unilateral side guides. In the present embodiment, for each unilateral side guide 11, it can be controlled and adjusted according to the spark width MS, which is the core part of this invention. In the present embodiment, the friction and contact between the side guides 11 and the hot rolled strip 20 are judged according to the sparks from the friction between the side guides 11 and the hot rolled strip 20, and to control and adjust the side guides 11 based on this. Therefore, the control method of the side guides 11 is optimized, and the hot rolled strip 20 is always in the relative center of the steel coil, the wear of the side guides is reduced, and various defects of the coil is avoided. For the controlled adjustment of the side guides 11 on both sides according to the spark width MS, there are two methods in the present embodiment, one is the position controlled adjusting method, which is to control and adjust the position of the two side guides 11, the other is the pressure controlled adjusting method, which is to control and adjust the pressure on either side of the side guides 11. Both the position controlled adjusting method and the pressure controlled adjusting method control and adjust the side guides 11 according to the width of the sparks from the friction between the side guides 11 and the hot rolled strip 20. The main difference is that the position controlled adjusting method is to convert the spark width deviation into the position adjustment magnitude of the side guides 11, while the pressure controlled adjusting method is to convert the spark width deviation into the pressure adjustment magnitude of the side guides 11. The position controlled adjusting method is mainly for the thin gauge hot rolled strip 20, and the pressure controlled adjusting method is mainly for the heavy gauge hot rolled strip 20. Since the thin gauge hot rolled strip 20 is prone to have edge cracks if the pressure controlled adjusting method is used, the position controlled adjusting method is needed to minimize the contact between the side guides 11 and the hot rolled strip 20.

More specifically, said step of dynamic adjustment specifically comprises a first dynamic adjusting step, a second dynamic adjusting step, a third dynamic adjusting step, and a fourth dynamic adjusting step.
The first dynamic adjusting step: this step starting from the head of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches the coiler pinch rolls 12 and till the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of an F1 stand 1. This step comprises: setting the target spark width Maim as a first target spark width Maim1. After the head of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches the coiler pinch rolls 12, performing a dynamic adjusting process for each unilateral side guide 11 until the head of the hot rolled strip 20 goes out of the coiler pinch rolls 12 by a length of Lhead, wherein Lhead is a preset length of the strip head. The value of the length of the strip head Lhead ranges from 10˜40 m. This step further comprises: when the head of the hot rolled strip 20 goes out of said coiler pinch rolls 12 by length that exceeds said length of the strip head Lhead, recording the real-time position of said unilateral side guide 11 as a target lock position WLK, then adjusting the position of said unilateral side guide 11 to WLK+ΔW3, and locking the position of said unilateral side guide 11 until the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the F1 stand 1, wherein ΔW3 is a preset target position margin. The value range of the target position margin is 1˜5 mm. In the process of this step, the side guides 11 are out of contact with the hot rolled strip 20, then the wear of the side guides 11 are reduced, and the edge quality of the hot rolled strip 20 can be improved.
The second dynamic adjusting step: this step starting from the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 being out of the F1 stand 1 and till the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the F7 stand 7. This step comprises: setting the target spark width Maim as a second target spark width Maim2, and then performing said dynamic adjusting process for each unilateral side guide 11.
The third dynamic adjusting step: this step starting from the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 being out of said F7 stand 7 until the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is X meters away from the side guides 11, wherein X is a preset length parameter, which ranges from 20˜30 m. This step comprises: setting the target spark width Maim as a third target spark width Maim3, and then performing said dynamic adjusting process for each unilateral side guide 11.

This step comprises: setting the target spark width Maim as a fourth target spark width Maim4, and then performing said dynamic adjusting process for each unilateral side guide 11.
Specifically, the first target spark width to the fourth target spark width can be set according to the thickness of the hot rolled strip 20 and other influencing factors such as the coil shape and the wear of the strip edge during the production process.
In addition, both the position controlled adjusting method and the pressure controlled adjusting method need to have certain limits on the magnitude of the controlled adjustment, which is mainly to avoid the distance of the centerline of the hot rolled strip 20 deviating from the centerline of the coiler 16 is too large, leading to the coiling failure.
Therefore, the dynamic adjusting process for side guides in said step of dynamic adjustment further comprises setting amplitude limitation for the position of said unilateral side guide 11. Said amplitude limitation for the position includes an upper limit of the position LIMup1 and a lower limit of the position LIMlow1. Said upper limit of the position LIMup1 can be obtained according to a sixth formula and said lower limit of the position LIMlow1 can be obtained according to a seventh formula. Said sixth formula is
and said seventh formula is
wherein Wave is an average width of the hot rolled strip 20 when it goes out of the width gauge 8 by a length range L1, and L1 is a preset length of width measure. The value range of L1 is 20˜50 m.
In addition to setting the amplitude of the position, the pressure controlled adjusting method in said step of dynamic adjustment further comprises setting amplitude limitation for the pressure of said unilateral side guide 11. Said amplitude limitation for the pressure includes an upper limit of the pressure LIMup2 and a lower limit of the pressure LIMlow2. Said upper limit of the pressure LIMup2 can be obtained according to an eighth formula and said lower limit of the pressure LIMlow2 can be obtained according to a ninth formula. Said eighth formula is LIMup2=(1+k1)PS_aim, and said ninth formula is LIMlow2=(1−k1)PS_aim, wherein the value of k1 ranges from 0˜0.5, and PS_aim is a preset target of controlled pressure. Specifically, the target of the controlled pressure is determined according to the production process, and the main considerations are factors such as the final coil shape, the wear of the strip edge and the loss of the side guide liner.

Installing the industrial camera 9 obliquely above the entrance of the side guides 11, the range of said industrial camera 9 covers the whole area of each side guide 11, and the industrial camera 9 transmitting the captured images to the detection system in real time via a communication line. The vertical height H from the industrial camera 9 to the hot rolled strip 20 is 4.18 m, and the horizontal distance L between the position where the industrial camera 9 is installed and the end of the side guides 11 is 8 m.
Step of Image Analysis:
For each unilateral side guide 11, the detection system implements a real-time analysis on the images of sparks taken by the industrial camera 9, wherein the sparks come from friction between the unilateral side guide 11 and the hot rolled strip 20, so as to identify the single spark with the largest transverse width generated on the unilateral side guide 11, and the transverse width of the spark is recorded as a spark width MS. In the present specific example, the detection system transmits the identified spark width MS to the industrial control PLC, and the identification delay time is controlled within 50 ms.
Step of Dynamic Adjustment:
This step starts from the head of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches the coiler pinch rolls 12 and till the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of said coiler pinch rolls 12. The reference thickness h is set as 3 mm, and the thickness of the hot rolled strip 20 hstrip=4 mm.
The step of dynamic adjustment comprises the first dynamic adjusting step, the second dynamic adjusting step, the third dynamic adjusting step and the fourth dynamic adjusting step.
The First Dynamic Adjusting Step:
The thickness of the hot rolled strip 20 hstrip>h, thus the pressure controlled adjusting method is adopted.
When the head of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches the coiler pinch rolls 12, the target spark width Maim is set as a first target spark width Maim1=10 mm. According the first formula, the fourth formula and the fifth formula, continuously dynamic calculating of the target pressure PS on the side guides, and then adjusting the pressure on the unilateral side guide to the target pressure on the side guides PS. It should be noted that since the spark width of the unilateral side guide 11 is from the friction between the unilateral side guide 11 and the hot rolled strip 20, when the spark width of the unilateral side guide 11 is greater than the first target spark width Maim1, approximately, the pressure between the unilateral side guide 11 and the hot rolled strip 20 is too large, thus the pressure on the unilateral side guide 11 PS should be reduced. For example, the detection system analyzes the images of the unilateral side guide 11 and obtains the spark width of the unilateral side guide 11 MS=11 mm. According to the first formula, ΔMS=MS−Maim=1 mm. Then according to the fourth formula,
performing the control of the dynamic proportion and integral, and finally obtaining a ΔPS of −0.8 kN. If the pressure on the side guide before adjustment PS′=1 kN, according to the fifth formula PS=PS′+ΔPS=10.2 kN. Repeating the dynamic adjusting process until the head of the hot rolled strip 20 goes out of the coiler pinch rolls 12 by a length of Lhead, wherein Lhead is a preset length of the head of the strip, and Lhead is preset as 30 m.
When the head of the hot rolled strip 20 goes out of said coiler pinch rolls 12 by a length that exceeds said length of the strip head Lhead, for example, the real-time position is 622 mm, recording the real-time position of said unilateral side guide 11 as a target lock position WLK=622 mm. The preset target position margin ΔW3 is 2 mm, then adjusting the position of said unilateral side guide 11 to WLK+ΔW3=624 mm, and then fixing the position of said unilateral side guide 11 until the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the F1 stand 1.
The Second Dynamic Adjusting Step:
When the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the F1 stand 1, setting the target spark width Maim as the second target spark width Maim2=10 mm. According the first formula, the fourth formula and the fifth formula, continuously dynamic calculating of the target pressure PS on the side guides, and then adjusting the pressure on the unilateral side guide to the target pressure on the side guides PS until the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the F7 stand 7. The method of calculation and control is the same as that of the first target spark width Maim1.
The Third Dynamic Adjusting Step:
The preset length parameter X=25 m, when the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of said F7 stand 7, setting the target spark width Maim as a third target spark width Maim3=10 mm. According the first formula, the fourth formula and the fifth formula, continuously dynamic calculating of the target pressure PS on the side guides, and then adjusting the pressure on the unilateral side guide 11 to the target pressure on the side guides PS until the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is X meters away from the side guides 11. The method of calculation and control is the same as that of the first target spark width Maim1.
The Fourth Dynamic Adjusting Step:
When the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 reaches X meters in front of the side guides 11, setting the target spark width Maim as a fourth target spark width Maim4=20 mm. According the first formula, the fourth formula and the fifth formula, continuously dynamic calculating of the target pressure PS on the side guides, and then adjusting the pressure on the unilateral side guide 11 to the target pressure on the side guides PS until the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the coiler pinch rolls 12. The method of calculation and control is the same as that of the first target spark width Maim1.
Step of Final Opening Adjustment:
When the tail of the hot rolled strip 20 is out of the coiler pinch rolls 12, there is no subsequent hot rolled strip 20 to be coiled, adjusting the opening of the side guides 11 to a final opening W7=W1=1040 mm, and then adjusting the position of each unilateral side guide 11 to
During the controlled adjusting process of the position of the side guides, setting amplitude limitation for the pressure on the side guides.
Setting the target of the controlled pressure PS_aim as 10 kN, and the value of k1 is 0.5. According to an eighth formula, the upper limit of the pressure on the unilateral side guide 11 LIMup2=(1+k1)PS_aim=15 kN. According to a ninth formula, the lower limit of the pressure on the unilateral side guide 11 LIMlow2=(1−k1)PS_aim=5 kN. The range of the limits of the amplitude of the pressure is 5˜15 kN.
