Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a draught regulating device for finishing stands of hot rolling mills for maintaining the tension or draught of a strip between two consecutive rolling stands substatnially constant in order to obtain rolled strips with the optimum technological qualities.
- In particular the invention relates to a device for regulating the draught of the strip in a rolling mill comprising:
- a tensioning arm pivotable about an axis which is parallel to the width direction of the strip and perpendicular to the direction of advance of the strip, such an arm having one end intended to be kept in contact with the strip and carrying sensor means for sensing the force applied to the strip to the arm and arranged to output an electrical torque signal indicative of the torque relative to the said axis applied by the strip to the tensioning arm,
- means for sensing the angular position of the arm,
- a processing and control unit connected to the force sensing means and to the position sensing means, said unit being arranged to generate an error signal in dependence on the difference between the torque signal and a reference torque signal,
- drive means arranged, when actuated, to change the angular position of the arm and hence the draught of the strip in dependence on the signal provided by the processing and control unit,
- regulating means incorporated in the control unit to actuate the drive means in dependence on the error signal.
- Many present day hot rolling mills employ a longer roller assembly in an effort to obtain constant interstand tension which is essential to the production of uniform gauge strip. For example, the US-A-3,961,510 relates to a longer device employed to impose a constant tension on a strip as it passes between the stands of a tandem rolling mill. The looper is operated by an hydraulic actuator which is controlled by a computer controlled hydraulic ser- vosystem.
- The computer is fed a signal of the position of the looper and calculates the required pressure difference across the actuator for a desired tension.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a draught regulating device, of the above indicated type, which is very precise, very reliable with a considerable speed of response, while being simple and economical to manufacture and put into operation.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by means of a draught regulating device of the type specified and characterized in that:
- the device further includes means for detecting the inertial torque acting on the tensioning arm,
- generator means arranged to generate a torque reference signal,
- a torque regulating circiut connected to the force sensor means and to the generator means for outputting a torque error signal,
- a summing circuit connected to the torque regulating circuit, to the generator means and to the inertial torque detecting means, a current regulating circuit being provided by the output of said summing circuit with a current reference signal proportional to the sum of the reference torque, the torque error and the inertial torque of the tensioning arm.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the draught regulating device according to the invention will become apparent from the detailed description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, provided purely by way of non-limiting example, in which:
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a draught regulating device according to the invention; and
- Figure 2 is a block electrical diagram of the device of Figure 1.
- With reference to Figure 1, a strip S is shown advancing in the direction of the arrow f from a first stand of rolls 1 of a rolling mill to a second stand of rolls 2. Intermediate the stands of rolls, beneath the strip S, is a strip tensioning device (looper) according to the invention, generally indicated L. This device comprises a tensioning arm 3 pivotable about an axis parallel to the strip S and perpendicular to the direction of advance f of the strip. The pivot axis of the tensioning arm 3 is shown in Figure 1 by the intersection between the horizontal plane O and the vertical plane V.
- The tensioning arm 3 carries at one end a
load cell 5 of conventional type, for example of the magnetostriction effect type, which cooperates with aroller 4 kept in contact with the lower face of the strip S and able to move solely along a circular arc 8. - In operation, as the tension to which the strip S is subject varies, the force exerted by the
roller 4 on theload cell 5 varies. - The tensioning arm 3 may be rotated about the pivot axis defined above by means of an
electric motor 6 for example of the direct current type, and a pair ofbevel gears 7. The shaft 6a of theelectric motor 6 is coupled to the input shaft of an angular position electric transducer 8 through a reduction gear 9. The transducer 8 is preferably a rotary electromagnet analogue transducer of the known type commonly termed a resolver and outputs, as will be clarified below, electrical signals proportional to sina and cosa, a being the angle between the tensioning arm 3 and the horizontal plane O, as indicated in Figure 1. - On opposite sides of its pivot axis, and preferably at the same distance from the axis, the tensioning arm 3 carries two
accelerometers - The device according to the invention further includes a processing and control unit generally indicated 12 in Figure 1 and illustrated in greater detail in Figure 2.
- This unit is connected to the
load cell 5, the transducer 8 and theaccelerometers - The processing and
control unit 12 is also connected to theelectric motor 6. - The
processing unit 12 is also connected to a manuallyoperable input device 13 for providing the unit with an electrical signal indicative of a reference value (nominal value) of the tension or draught of the strip S. This device may 13 be constituted simply by a potentiometer. - To the control and
processing unit 12 there are also connected further manuallyoperable input devices 14 and 15 for providing theunit 12 with electrical signals indicative of couple values proportional to the weight of the strip S and to the weight of the tensioning arm 3 for purposes which will be clarified below. - Finally the processing and
control unit 12 is connected to anoutput device 16, for example a visual display device for providing an indication of the tension or draught effectively acting at any moment on the strip S. - The processing and
control unit 12 is also connected to or is connectible to the mains network through a supply line indicated 17 in the drawings. - As will become apparent from the description which follows with reference to Figure 2, the processing and
control unit 12 is arranged to regulate the current supplied to theelectric motor 6 in dependence on the signals provided by theload cell 5, the position transducer 8, the signals output by theaccelerometers devices 14 and 15 and the nominal tension or draught input by thedevice 13. The supply current for themotor 6 is adjusted when necessary to modify the position of the tensioning arm 3 and hence the draught of the strip S in order to maintain this tension substantially constant and as equal as possible to the nominal tension or draught. - Before the detailed description of the embodiment of the control and
processing unit 12 illustrated in Figure 2, several theoretical considerations at the root of the invention will be put forward. - The inventors have shown that the component of the force exerted between the strip S and the load cell 5 (through the roller 4) in operation, along the axis X-X, is substantially proportional to the function
- As is immediately seen, the component of this force along the axis X-X is just that component which acts on the tensioning arm 3 and gives rise to a couple about the pivot axis of this arm. This couple, which will be indicated below as Q,, is thus also proportional to the function given above and hence may be written:
load cell 5 is thus indicative of the couple QL applied by the strip S to the tensioning arm 3 about the pivot axis of the tensioning arm. - The processing and
control unit 12 includes twoanalogue multipliers divider 22. Themultiplier 20 has its inputs connected to the outputs of the position transducer 8. Its inputs are thus fed with signals proportional to the absolute value of sina and cosa respectively. The signal output by themultiplier 20 is thus proportional to the absolute value of sina . cosa. This signal is fed to thedivider 22 and to themultiplier 21. This latter is also fed with the signal T representing the reference tension or draught (nominal draught) input for the strip S through theinput device 13. Themultiplier 21 thus outputs a signal QNdivider 22 in operation is thus a signal proportional to the ratiovisual display device 16 thus provides a visual indication of the effective value of the draught measured on the strip. -
- The signal indicative of the couple error is supplied to a first input of a
summer 24. This summer is also supplied with the signal QN and the signals output by theinput devices 14 and 15 which, as stated above, represent fixed couple values proportoinal to the weight of the strip S and the weight of the tensioner 3. -
- The
summing circuit 24 in practice effects the algebraic sum of the reference couple QN of the couple error Ec, the inertial couple Cj and the couples due to the weight of the strip and to the weight of the tensioner. The overall couple resulting is equal to the couple which themotor 6 must supply. This couple, as is known, for a direct current motor with independent, fixed energisation is proportional to the current I which must be supplied to the motor. - In conclusion, the output signal I of the
summer 24 is proportional to the current needed for theelectric motor 6 to supply a couple such as to allow, through the tensioner 3, the maintenance of a draught on the strip substantially equal to the nominal value. The signal I is supplied to a current regulatingcircuit 26 of known type which, through a full-wave controlledrectifier 27 regulates the current to theelectric motor 6. - Although reference has been made to the use of only one
load cell 5 in the description above, clearly two ormore load cells 5 may be used in cooperation with theroller 4. - Naturally, the principle of the invention remaining the same, the embodiments and details of realisation may be varied widely with respect to those described and illustrated purely by way of non-limiting example without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention.
