Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling the lifting and pressing movements of the band pressure rollers of hot rolled coils with a rotating reel mandrel as a function of signals which indicate the respective position of the reel mandrel on the circumferential front edge of the rolled strip, by means of electrohydraulic positioning of piston cylinder units which actuate the band pressure rollers with simultaneous force control.
  • a known control device DE-AS 21 58 721
  • the pinch rollers are raised during the winding process by the amount of the strip thickness, ie the size of the radial increase, which has caused the front strip edge, if this increase passes under them.
  • a pulse generator which is coupled to the reel mandrel, which influences a pulse counter which, via control logic, generates signals for the control device, on the basis of which the latter causes the actuation of the piston-cylinder units connected to the respective pressure roller, through the pressure area of which the radial one Increase in the resulting band waistband.
  • the path of the strip edge of the rolled strip running onto the coiler mandrel is detected by contactless sensors during the formation of the first turn and is tracked and recorded with the aid of electronic recording devices.
  • the positioning of the pressure rollers is then controlled with the aid of the recording devices and these downstream evaluation devices.
  • the up and down movements of the actuating elements of the piston-cylinder units, which bring about the lifting and pressing movements of the band pressure rollers, are controlled by two known control devices and, as also described in JP-A-59 179, via two independent electro-hydraulic control circuits, namely a position control circuit and a force control loop.
  • the lifting movement of the belt pressure roller is effected and controlled in each case by specifying the corresponding position value via the position control loop, while the pressure movement and the subsequent pressing is also effected by specifying a force setpoint via the force control loop. Remains during position control the force control loop is opened, ie it is derived from the signals from the belt tracking, depending on the process, continuously switched between the position and force control for each tape opening roller.
  • this type of control has the further disadvantage that the rapid switching causes shocks which impair the dynamic behavior of the elements involved in the movement sequence.
  • a further difficulty arises with these known controls if, due to a malfunction, they receive no or incorrect positioning signals or no switching signals or those at the wrong time, because in the one case the piston-cylinder unit has the position in which it is no longer changing and the necessary evasive movement is no longer being carried out and, in the other case, the belt pressure rollers are held at maximum force when the position is controlled.
  • this type of control has the disadvantage that the fast Switching causes shocks that affect the dynamic behavior of the elements involved in the movement.
  • the position control there is a further difficulty with these known controls if they receive no or incorrect positioning signals due to a fault, since in this case the piston-cylinder unit no longer changes the position in which it is currently located and the z. B. no longer performs the necessary evasive movement. Additional overload protection devices must therefore be provided.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the generic control devices so that these disadvantages and difficulties are eliminated and, if necessary, the arrangement of special overload protection devices can be dispensed with.
  • This object is achieved in that the positioning during the lifting and the pressing movement by position control with subordinate force control with closed position and pressure control loops by specifying a position setpoint corresponding to the respective pressing or lifting position of the band pressure rollers and specifying limited force setpoints is effected for both directions of movement.
  • the limitation of the desired force value for the increase can be the same as the maximum value that can be set for the pressure control circuit.
  • a slope limiter is arranged downstream of the force controller as the invention provides.
  • the control reacts like an overload protection because the subordinate force control loop always regulates the actual force value to the set limit setpoint. Since the control system acts like an overload safety device, there is no need to equip the individual piston cylinder units with special overload safety devices, such as pneumatic support cylinders. Finally, there is a further advantage that the previously necessary mounting of the pressure rollers in a support pivotable against the actual carrier carrying out the lifting and pressing movements and elastically supported against this support lever can be dispensed with, since the mode of operation of the control according to the invention not only provides such a cushioning makes unnecessary.
  • the pressure roller 3 which is only reproduced on its own for the sake of clarity, is supported for the mandrel 2 of the (not shown) rolled strip heating reel in a shell carrier 1 which is articulated via the piston rod 4 to the piston cylinder unit 5 which is mounted in a fixed position.
  • the piston 5a of this piston-cylinder unit 5 can be pressurized on both sides via the hydraulic lines 6 and 7 with the aid of a control valve 18 and thus moves the pressure roller 3.
  • a displacement sensor 8 is attached to the piston rod 4, with which the actual position Sist of the pressure roller 3 is measured.
  • the output side 9 of the position sensor leads via line 10 and its branches 10a, 10b to a computer system 11 and to a position controller 12, which is likewise connected to the computer system via line 13.
  • the computer 11 specifies the outer position control loop setpoints S des.
  • the position controller 12 is followed by a force setpoint limiter 14 that is adjustable for both directions of movement.
  • the output side of the force setpoint limiter 14 supplies the force setpoints Fset for the inner force control loop.
  • the actual force value Fist is determined by means of the pressure transmitters 19 and 20.
  • the force controller 16, which is followed by a steepness limiter 17, receives as input the difference between the actual force value Fist and the desired force value Fset and controls the control valve 18.
  • the actual force value Fist is always regulated to the force setpoint Fsetpoint specified by the outer position control loop. Both control loops are constantly closed.
  • Fig. 2 it follows that both movements, the lifting movement for rapid retraction of the pressure roller 3 by the amount of radial increase in the growing band band before it reaches the area of the pressure roller 3 and that then pressing band B shortly after the radial increase has passed through the area in position control with subordinate force control.
  • the position control loop is first given the setpoint 1, which is dependent on the strip thickness and the kinematics of the pressure roller system. After passing the front belt edge at time t 1, the position setpoint is changed so that the direction of movement is reversed.
  • the pressure roller 3 lies on the belt B. Since the position setpoint 13 has been set so high that a constant value is constantly present as the force setpoint 15, the inner force control loop regulates the actual force value 21 to this constant value.
  • the band B is thus pressed in the direction of the mandrel 2 with a defined force, the size of which can be determined as a function of the respective dimensions and the deformation resistance of the band B.
  • the position setpoint is then changed with reference to the added belt effect and the next lifting movement is initiated. To do this, it is necessary to track the current actual position value already during the pressing movement, since the change in position is derived from the current actual position.
  • the computer 11 carries out calculation and specification of these changing position setpoints. The other settings at times t3, t4 and t5 are made accordingly.
