Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à des dispositifs de mise en oeuvre de ce procédé permettant le réglage de la puissance moyenne de chauffage induite par un champ élec- tromagnétiqué dans un produit plat conducteur à l'arrêt ou en défilement, maintenu sans contact, par les forces électromagnétiques également induites par ce champ, notamment en lévitation ou guidage, dans une installation de chauffage par induction électromagnétique comprenant une paire d'inducteurs sensiblement identiques dont les pôles se font face deux à deux de part et d'autre du produit.The present invention relates to a method and to devices for implementing this method allowing the adjustment of the average heating power induced by an electromagnetic field in a flat conductive product when stopped or running, maintained without contact, by the electromagnetic forces also induced by this field, in particular in levitation or guidance, in an electromagnetic induction heating installation comprising a pair of substantially identical inductors whose poles face each other in pairs on either side of the product.

Dans diverses opérations de parachèvement et spécialement dans certains traitements thermiques, il peut être nécessaire de régler la puissance induite dans un produit maintenu sans contact, par exemple en lévitation, afin de suivre une courbe imposée de température en fonction du temps.In various finishing operations and especially in certain heat treatments, it may be necessary to adjust the power induced in a product maintained without contact, for example in levitation, in order to follow an imposed temperature curve as a function of time.

Dans le document EP-A-0 070 232 appartenant à l'état de la technique selon l'art. 54(3) de la CBE, on décrit une installation de chauffage d'un produit métallique en lévitation. Le chauffage et la lévitation sont obtenus par un flux électromagnétique transversal provenant de deux jeux de pôles d'inducteur. Les inducteurs sont disposés de part et d'autre du produit et sont alimentés en courant alternatif de telle sorte que deux pôles en face l'un de l'autre sont à tout instant polarisés inversé- ment.In document EP-A-0 070 232 belonging to the state of the art according to art. 54 (3) of the EPC, an installation for heating a levitated metal product is described. Heating and levitation are obtained by a transverse electromagnetic flux from two sets of inductor poles. The inductors are arranged on either side of the product and are supplied with alternating current so that two poles opposite one another are polarized inversely at all times.

Il est évident que pour réduire la puissance induite dans un produit soumis à un flux transversal, on peut se contenter de diminuer l'intensité du courant parcourant les inducteurs, mais, lorsque le produit est en lévitation, cette réduction entraîne généralement une diminution de la hauteur de lévitation. De plus, lorsque l'on veut maintenir le produit sans contact, la réduction de puissance est limitée par la nécessité de maintenir la hauteur de lévitation à une valeur minimale.It is obvious that in order to reduce the power induced in a product subjected to a transverse flux, it is sufficient to reduce the intensity of the current flowing through the inductors, but, when the product is in levitation, this reduction generally results in a reduction in the levitation height. In addition, when it is desired to maintain the product without contact, the reduction in power is limited by the need to keep the levitation height at a minimum value.

On connaît aussi, par le document EP-A-0087345 appartenant également à l'état de la technique selon l'art 54(3) de la CBE, un dispositif similaire qui ne se distingue du précédent que par une alimentation «en phase» des paires de pôles. Ainsi, on obtient une lévitation sans chauffage notable.Also known, from document EP-A-0087345 also belonging to the state of the art according to art 54 (3) of the EPC, a similar device which differs from the previous one only by a "phase" supply pairs of poles. Thus, a levitation is obtained without significant heating.

Le but de l'invention est de régler dans la plus large plage possible la puissance de chauffage induite dans un produit plat conducteur maintenu sans contact, par les forces électromagnétiques corrélativement induites, notamment en lévitation ou guidage, en assurant au produit une position sensiblement constante et en utilisant un appareillage simple et économique.The object of the invention is to regulate in the widest possible range the heating power induced in a flat conductive product maintained without contact, by the correspondingly induced electromagnetic forces, in particular in levitation or guidance, by ensuring the product a substantially constant position. and using simple and economical equipment.

Le procédé selon l'invention consiste, pour régler la puissance de chauffage induite par un champ électromagnétique dans un produit plat conducteur maintenu sans contact par les forces électromagnétiques corrélativement induites par ce champ, dans une installation de chauffage par induction électromagnétique comprenant une paire d'inducteurs sensiblement identiques, disposés de part et d'autre du produit, les pôles de l'un des inducteurs de la paire faisant face aux pôles de l'autre inducteur, à opérer une suite d'inversions de la polarité instantanée des pôles de l'un des inducteurs par rapport à la polarité instantanée des pôles correspondants de l'autre inducteur, le rapport des durées pendant lesquelles les polarités sont d'une part opposées et d'autre part identiques déterminant la valeur moyenne de la puissance de chauffage induite, la position du produit restant quasiment inchangée.The method according to the invention consists, for adjusting the heating power induced by an electromagnetic field in a flat conductive product maintained without contact by the electromagnetic forces correlatively induced by this field, in an electromagnetic induction heating installation comprising a pair of substantially identical inductors, arranged on either side of the product, the poles of one of the inductors of the pair facing the poles of the other inductor, to operate a series of reversals of the instantaneous polarity of the poles of the one of the inductors with respect to the instantaneous polarity of the corresponding poles of the other inductor, the ratio of the durations during which the polarities are on the one hand opposite and on the other hand identical determining the average value of the induced heating power, the position of the product remaining almost unchanged.

En effet, les forces électromagnétiques exercées sur le produit et qui le maintiennent sans contact restent sensiblement les mêmes, que les polarités instantanées des pôles deux à deux face à face des inducteurs soient toutes identiques ou toutes opposées, toutes choses restant égales par ailleurs, si bien que lors d'une inversion de la polarité relative des pôles de l'un des inducteurs par rapport à la polarité des pôles correspondants de l'autre inducteur, la position du produit reste quasiment inchangée.Indeed, the electromagnetic forces exerted on the product and which maintain it without contact remain substantially the same, that the instantaneous polarities of the poles two by two face to face of the inductors are all identical or all opposite, all other things remaining equal, if although during a reversal of the relative polarity of the poles of one of the inductors with respect to the polarity of the corresponding poles of the other inductor, the position of the product remains almost unchanged.

Ainsi on obtient par la commutation cyclique de l'inverseur tantôt une lévitation seule et tantôt la même lévitation en combinaison avec un chauffage du produit. Le rapport de commutation définit donc le taux de chauffage alors que l'intensité de courant reste constante.Thus, by cyclic switching of the inverter, there is sometimes a levitation alone and sometimes the same levitation in combination with heating of the product. The switching ratio therefore defines the heating rate while the current intensity remains constant.

Un des avantages du procédé selon l'invention ressort du fait que les distances séparant les surfaces polaires de chaque paire de pôles se faisant face de part et d'autre du produit, peuvent être réduites au minimum correspondant à l'espace nécessaire à l'encombrement total en épaisseur du produit compte tenu de ses déformations et d'une éventuelle isolation thermique, le jeu assurant l'absence de contact étant presque nul. Le rendement et le facteur de puissance des dispositifs mettant en oeuvre ce procédé en sont donc améliorés.One of the advantages of the method according to the invention is apparent from the fact that the distances separating the pole surfaces of each pair of poles facing each other on either side of the product can be reduced to the minimum corresponding to the space necessary for the total overall thickness of the product taking into account its deformations and possible thermal insulation, the clearance ensuring the absence of contact being almost zero. The efficiency and the power factor of the devices implementing this process are therefore improved.

Ce procédé simple et économique, s'applique en particulier à la réduction de la puissance induite en fin de chauffage. Les écarts de température dynamiques étant proportionnels à la puissance volumique induite et résultant, à la fois, des phénomènes de conduction et d'une répartition non parfaitement uniforme des densités de courant induites, cette réduction de puissance permet d'obtenir des écarts de température dynamiques plus faibles et donc, par exemple, d'atteindre une température moyenne dans le produit sans dépassement local de la température limite à respecter.This simple and economical process applies in particular to the reduction of the power induced at the end of heating. Since the dynamic temperature differences are proportional to the power density induced and resulting, at the same time, from conduction phenomena and from a non-perfectly uniform distribution of the induced current densities, this reduction in power makes it possible to obtain dynamic temperature differences lower and therefore, for example, to reach an average temperature in the product without locally exceeding the limit temperature to be observed.

L'invention s'applique notamment à des installations de chauffage en lévitation ou, par exemple, de chauffage avec guidage pour lesquels il est nécessaire de maintenir des forces de rappel, d'intensité sensiblement constante, vers une position d'équilibre.The invention applies in particular to heating installations in levitation or, for example, heating with guidance for which it is necessary to maintain restoring forces, of substantially constant intensity, towards an equilibrium position.

L'invention vise également des dispositifs de réglage de la puissance moyenne induite dans un produit plat conducteur maintenu sans contact dans une position sensiblement constante par les forces électromagnétiques corrélativement induites, lesquels dispositifs mettent en oeuvre le procédé selon l'invention et se caractérisent en ce qu'ils comprennent nécessairement un moyen inverseur de polarité et, en outre, et suivant les cas:

  • - des moyens permettant de connaître la température du produit;
  • - des moyens permettant de connaître la puissance induite;

  • - means for defining the temperature cycle to be performed;

the information, results and data obtained from these means as well as the characteristics of the product being taken into account by said adjustment system.

Les inversions de polarité instantanée des pôles de l'un des inducteurs par rapport à la polarité instantanée des pôles correspondants de l'autre inducteur sont effectuées par l'inverseur de polarité qui opère par exemple une inversion du branchement de l'un des inducteurs à la source alternative de courant ou de tension (le rapport ten- sion/courant est différent selon que les polarités sont identiques ou opposées).The instantaneous polarity inversions of the poles of one of the inductors with respect to the instantaneous polarity of the corresponding poles of the other inductor are carried out by the polarity reverser which operates for example an inversion of the connection of one of the inductors to the alternative source of current or voltage (the voltage / current ratio is different depending on whether the polarities are identical or opposite).
