Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren an einer Stranggießanlage zur Erzeugung von Strängen, insbesondere von Stahlsträngen, bei dem flüssiges Metall in eine Durchlaufkokille eingeführt und im teilerstarrten Zustand aus der Kokille abgezogen wird, sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a process on a continuous casting plant for producing strands, in particular steel strands, in which liquid metal is introduced into a continuous mold and withdrawn from the mold in the partially solidified state, and to a device for carrying out the method.
Bei Stranggießanlagen vom Senkrecht- oder Bogentyp wird die Ausziehmaschine nach einer vorgegebenen Strangabzugsgeschwindigkeit geregelt. Abzugsrichtung und Abzugsgeschwindlgkeit während eines Gusses sind im Normalfall gleichbleibend. Zur Einhaltung vorgegebener Bedingungen und/oder zur Feststellung von Anomalien in der Führungsstrecke des Gußstranges oder in der Kokille ist es bekannt (US-PS 3,478,808 und 3,358,743), die Stromaufnahme der Antriebseinrichtung der Ausziehmaschine zu messen und in einen Regelkreis zur Steuerung bzw. Regelung einer Stranggießanlage einzubeziehen. Bei gleichbleibender Abzugsrichtung und oszillierender Kokille soll diese Methode Aufschluß geben über die Gleitverhältnisse des Stranges in der Kokille. Aus diesen Schriften ist es ferner bekannt, weitere Informationen über den erzeugten Strang zu erhalten, beispielsweise durch Messung der Oberflächentemperatur des Stranges unterhalb der Kokille, über die Strangdicke oder auch über eine Längenmessung des erzeugten Stranges und diese Informationen in den Regelkreis der Stranggießanlage einzubeziehen.In the case of continuous casting machines of the vertical or curved type, the pulling-out machine is regulated according to a predetermined strand withdrawal speed. The withdrawal direction and withdrawal speed during a casting are normally the same. To comply with specified conditions and / or to detect anomalies in the guide section of the cast strand or in the mold, it is known (US Pat. Nos. 3,478,808 and 3,358,743) to measure the current consumption of the drive device of the pulling machine and into a control circuit for controlling or regulating one Continuous caster included. With a constant withdrawal direction and an oscillating mold, this method should provide information about the sliding conditions of the strand in the mold. From these documents it is also known to obtain further information about the strand produced, for example by measuring the surface temperature of the strand below the mold, the strand thickness or also by measuring the length of the strand produced, and to include this information in the control loop of the continuous casting installation.
Bei Horizontalstranggießanlagen, mit oszillierender oder auch feststehender Kokille kann die Abzugsrichtung bei kontinuierlicher Bewegung des Stranges gleich bleiben; der Strang kann jedoch auch schrittweise mit zwischengeschalteten Haltezeiten oder auch zusätzlich mit einem kurzen Rückwärtshub und einer weiteren Haltezeit gefördert werden. Je nach Strangabmessung und Abzugsgeschwindigkeit liegt beim Vergießen von Stahl zwischen der Kokille und der Antriebseinheit für den Strang eine Strecke von mehreren Metern, da die Antriebseinheit üblicherweise im Bereich des durcherstarrten Stranges angeordnet ist. Zwischen Kokille und Antriebsaggregat, also im Bereich der Erstarrungsstrecke, ist ein Teil des Stranges noch flussig und die dünne Strangschale weist bei den hohen Temperaturen nur eine geringe Festigkeit auf. Andererseits weiß man, daß ein reproduzierbarer Abzugsrhythmus des Stranges für die Strangschalenbildung in der Kokille und für die Erzielung einer einwandfreien Strangoberfläche von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung ist. Aufgrund der mechanischen Instabilität des teils flüssigen Stranges läßt sich mit den vorgenannten Methoden jedoch nicht feststellen, ob und in welcher Auswirkung der dem Antriebsaggregat vorgegebene Ziehrhythmus auch durch den Strang auf den Kokillenabschnitt des Stranges übertragen wird.In the case of horizontal continuous casting plants with an oscillating or fixed mold, the direction of withdrawal can remain the same with continuous movement of the strand; however, the strand can also be conveyed step by step with intermediate stopping times or additionally with a short backward stroke and a further stopping time will. Depending on the strand dimensions and take-off speed, when steel is poured between the mold and the drive unit for the strand, there is a distance of several meters, since the drive unit is usually arranged in the area of the solidified strand. Between the mold and the drive unit, i.e. in the area of the solidification section, part of the strand is still liquid and the thin strand shell has only a low strength at the high temperatures. On the other hand, it is known that a reproducible withdrawal rhythm of the strand is of crucial importance for the formation of strand shells in the mold and for achieving a perfect strand surface. Due to the mechanical instability of the partly liquid strand, it cannot be determined with the aforementioned methods whether and to what extent the drawing rhythm given to the drive unit is also transmitted through the strand to the mold section of the strand.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Verhaltensweise eines Metallstranges möglichst dicht an der Erzeugungsstelle zu erfassen und ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit der es möglich ist, insbesondere das Antriebsaggregat für den Strangabzug einer Stranggießanlage, insbesondere einer Stranggießanlage mit horizontal angeordneter Kokille und diskontinuierlichem Strangabzug derart zu steuern bzw. zu regeln, daß den tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten besser Rechnung getragen wird.The invention has for its object to detect the behavior of a metal strand as close as possible to the point of production and to provide a method and an apparatus with which it is possible, in particular the drive unit for the strand withdrawal of a continuous casting system, in particular a continuous casting system with horizontally arranged mold and discontinuous To control or regulate the strand draw in such a way that the actual circumstances are better taken into account.
Bei einem Verfahren an einer Gießanlage zur Erzeugung von Strängen, insbesondere von Stahlsträngen, bei dem flüssiges Metall in eine Durchlaufkokille eingeführt und im teilerstarrten Zustand aus der Kokille abgezogen wird, wird daher erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß der Bewegungsablauf des Stranges in einem Bereich möglichst unmittelbar nach Verlassen der Kokille erfaßt wird, daß das Erfassen des Bewegungsablaufes berührungslos und verzögerungsfrei durch auf Strahlung ansprechende Sensoren erfolgt und daß die Sensoren derart ausgelegt und angeordnet sind, daß sie ein auswertbares Meßsignal über das Weg-Zeit-Verhalten des Stranges erzeugen und das Meßsignal einer Anzeige- und/oder Auswerteinheit zugeführt wird.In a process on a casting plant for the production of strands, in particular steel strands, in which liquid metal is introduced into a continuous mold and withdrawn from the mold in the partially solidified state, it is therefore proposed according to the invention that the movement sequence of the strand in an area as soon as possible after leaving the mold is detected that the detection of the Movement sequence non-contact and instantaneous by sensors responsive to radiation and that the sensors are designed and arranged such that they generate an evaluable measurement signal on the path-time behavior of the strand and the measurement signal is fed to a display and / or evaluation unit.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens schlägt die Erfindung vor, daß das das Weg-Zeit-Verhalten des Stranges charakterisierende Signal in der Auswerteinheit mit einem Signal, das einem Steuerbefehl für das den Strang aus der Kokille ausziehende Antriebsaggregat entspricht - nach entsprechender regelungstechnischer Aufbereitung - verglichen wird und Abweichungen des Meßsignals vom Steuersignal einer Steuereinheit des Antriebsaggregates aufgeschaltet werden derart, daß der vom Antriebsaggregat auf den Strang übertragene Bewegungsablauf einem vorgegebenen Weg-Zeit-Verhalten des Stranges am Meßort entspricht. Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist es möglich, erstmals das tatsächliche Bewegungsverhalten des Stranges zu erfassen. Ferner wird erreicht, daß der Strangabzug nach dem gewünschten Bewegungsverhalten des Stranges gesteuert werden kann. Dies ist von besonderer Wichtigkeit. Man hat sich bisher darauf verlassen, daß die mittelbaren Meßmethoden (Messung der Stromaufnahme des Antriebsaggregates oder Meßrolle mit bekannten Nachteilen, wie Schlupf, Verschleiß, Wärmebelastung) den Anforderungen genügen. Man hat sich also mit Indizien für die Strangbewegung begnügt, ohne das tatsächliche Verhalten zu berücksichtigen und beeinflussen zu können.In a further embodiment of the method, the invention proposes that the signal characterizing the path-time behavior of the strand is compared in the evaluation unit with a signal which corresponds to a control command for the drive unit pulling the strand out of the mold - after appropriate control engineering preparation and deviations of the measurement signal from the control signal of a control unit of the drive unit are applied such that the movement sequence transmitted from the drive unit to the line corresponds to a predetermined path-time behavior of the line at the measurement location. The measures according to the invention make it possible for the first time to record the actual movement behavior of the strand. It is also achieved that the strand withdrawal can be controlled according to the desired movement behavior of the strand. This is of particular importance. So far, it has been relied on that the indirect measuring methods (measuring the power consumption of the drive unit or measuring roller with known disadvantages, such as slippage, wear, heat load) meet the requirements. One has therefore been content with indications of the strand movement without taking into account and influencing the actual behavior.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß das Weg-Zeit-Verhalten des Stranges an einem weiteren Meßort zwischen Kokille und Antriebsaggregat gleichzeitig erfaßt wird. Die beiden Meßorte sollen im Abstand voneinander angeordnet sein. Der zweite Meßort liegt zweckmässig unmittelbar vor Einlauf des Stranges in das Antriebsaggregat. Durch die gleichzeitige Erfassung der Strangbewegung an zwei voneinander getrennten Meßorten ist es möglich, Informationen darüber zu erhalten, ob unter bestimmten Bedingungen, abhängig z.B. von Gießgeschwindigkeit, Format, Temperatur, Qualität, möglicherweise durch Eigenschwingungen des Stranges das am Kokillenaustritt erhaltene Meßsignal verfälscht wird. Es ist damit möglich eine Gießanlage, ggf. bei selbsttätiger Regelung des Ausziehsystems, außerhalb eines Bereiches kritischer Schwingungen zu betreiben.In a further embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the path-time behavior of the strand at a further measuring location between the mold and the drive unit is recorded simultaneously. The two measuring locations should be spaced from each other. The second measuring point is conveniently located immediately before the strand enters the Drive unit. Through the simultaneous detection of the strand movement at two separate measuring locations, it is possible to obtain information as to whether, under certain conditions, depending on, for example, the casting speed, format, temperature, quality, the measuring signal obtained at the mold outlet may be falsified by natural vibrations of the strand. It is thus possible to operate a casting system outside of a range of critical vibrations, if necessary with automatic control of the pull-out system.
Mit zur Erfindung gehört eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens nach Anspruch 1 an einer Gießanlage, die aus einem Gießgefäß, einer Stranggießkokille und einem Antriebsaggregat für den Strangabzug besteht. Die Erfindung sieht bei einer derartigen Vorrichtung vor, daß mindestens eine, die Strangoberfläche erfassende Diodenzeilenkamera der Kokille nachgeordnet ist, deren Meßsignal einer Auswerteinheit zugeführt wird und daß die Steuereinheit des Antriebsaggregates ebenfalls mit der Auswerteinheit verbunden ist, wobei die Auswerteinheit gleichzeitig regelnd in die Steuereinheit des Antriebsaggregates eingreifen kann und daß an die Auswerteinheit eine Anzeigeneinheit angeschlossen ist.The invention also includes a device for carrying out the method according to claim 1 on a casting installation which consists of a casting vessel, a continuous casting mold and a drive unit for the strand take-off. In the case of such a device, the invention provides that at least one diode line camera, which detects the strand surface, is arranged downstream of the mold, the measurement signal of which is fed to an evaluation unit, and that the control unit of the drive unit is also connected to the evaluation unit, the evaluation unit simultaneously regulating into the control unit of the Drive unit can intervene and that a display unit is connected to the evaluation unit.
Zur Erläuterung der Erfindung dient die beiliegende Zeichnung.The accompanying drawing serves to explain the invention.
Figur 1 zeigt den prinzipiellen Aufbau einer erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung. Einem Gießgefäß 1, das eine Pfanne oder auch einen Verteiler darstellen kann, ist die Kokille 2 nachgeordnet, aus der der Strang 3 mit Hilfe des Antriebsaggregates 4 abgezogen wird. Das Antriebsaggregat 4 ist ausgelegt, um einen schrittweisen Strangabzug zu ermöglichen. Das Antriebsaggregat 4 wird von einer Steuereinheit 7 gesteuert. Der von dem Antriebsaggregat 4 auf den Strang 3 übertragene Bewegungsablauf wird mittels einer Diodenzeilenkamera 5, die unmittelbar der Kokille 2 nachgeordnet ist, erfaßt. Die Diodenzeilenkamera 5 ist so angeordnet, daß sie die Oberfläche des Stranges in diesem Bereich betrachten kann. Markante Merkmale der Oberfläche werden als Meßsignale von der Diodenzeilenkamera 5 auf die Auswerteinheit 6 übertragen. Die Auswerteinheit 6 ermittelt zyclisch mit hoher Frequenz relevante Bildpunkte und ordnet sie einem Weg-/Zeitschema zu. Diese Auswertung ermöglicht einen unmittelbaren Rückschluß auf den tatsächlichen Bewegungsablauf, also auf das Weg-Zeit-Verhalten des Stranges unmittelbar an der Kokille. In der Auswerteinheit 6 wird ferner ein Vergleich dieses tatsächlichen Bewegungsablaufes mit den Signalen der Steuereinheit 7 für das Antriebsaggregat 4 vorgenommen. Bei Abweichungen des Meßsignals der Diodenzeilenkamera 5 von den Steuersignalen der Steuereinheit 7 wird eine Korrektur des Steuerprogramms dahingehend vorgenommen, daß die von Antriebsaggregat 4 erzeugte Strangbewegung mit der gewünschten und über die Diodenzeilenkamera 5 kontrollierbaren Strangbewegung übereinstimmt.Figure 1 shows the basic structure of a device according to the invention. A
Zur Erfassung von Eigenschwingungen des Stranges ist eine weitere Diodenzeilenkamera 5′ in der Nähe des Einlaufes des Stranges in das Antriebsaggregat 4 angeordnet. Die Meßsignale der Diodenzeilenkamera 5′ werden ebenfalls der Auswerteeinheit 6 zugeführt. Damit ist es möglich, Eigenschwingungen des Stranges oder der Anlage zu berücksichtigen bzw. die Fahrweise der gesamten Anlage so einzustellen, daß kritische Bereiche vermieden werden. Das Meßergebnis der Strangbewegung kann natürlich auf einer Anzeigeeinheit 8 dargestellt werden.To detect natural vibrations of the strand, a further diode line camera 5 'is arranged in the vicinity of the inlet of the strand in the
Es liegt natürlich mit im Rahmen der Erfindung, den vorbeschriebenen Regelkreis zu trennen. Es ist also im einfachsten Fall möglich, mittels der Zeilenkamera 5 der Auswerteinheit 6 und der Anzeigeeinheit 8 den Bewegungsablauf des Stranges zu erfassen und lediglich zur Kontrolle des durch das Antriebsaggregat 4 erzeugten Bewegungsverhaltens des Stranges 3 zu benutzen.It is of course within the scope of the invention to separate the control loop described above. In the simplest case, it is therefore possible to use the
