Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling or regulating the drive unit of a casting installation for producing strands, in particular steel strands, in which liquid metal is introduced into a continuous mold and withdrawn from the mold in the partially solidified state, and a device for carrying out the method.
- the pull-out machine is controlled according to a predetermined strand withdrawal speed.
- the withdrawal direction and withdrawal speed during a casting are normally the same.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- JP-A-57-139457 on which the preambles of claims 1 and 3 are based, in which the line speed is detected by means of a detector in the form of a roll.
- 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.
- the simultaneous detection of the strand movement at two separate measuring locations makes it 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Figure 1 shows the basic structure of a device according to the invention.
- a casting vessel 1 which can represent a ladle or a distributor, is followed by the mold 2, from which the strand 3 is drawn off with the aid of the drive unit 4.
- the drive unit 4 is designed to enable gradual withdrawal of the strand.
- the drive unit 4 is controlled by a control unit 7.
- the movement sequence transmitted from the drive unit 4 to the strand 3 is detected by means of a diode line camera 5, which is arranged directly after the mold 2.
- the diode line camera 5 is like this arranged so that it can view the surface of the strand in this area. Striking features of the surface are transmitted as measurement signals from the diode line camera 5 to the evaluation unit 6.
- the evaluation unit 6 determines relevant pixels cyclically at a high frequency and assigns them to a path / time scheme. This evaluation enables a direct conclusion to be drawn about the actual sequence of movements, that is to say the path-time behavior of the strand directly at the mold. In the evaluation unit 6, a comparison of this actual movement sequence with the signals of the control unit 7 for the drive unit 4 is also carried out. If the measurement signal of the diode line camera 5 deviates from the control signals of the control unit 7, the control program is corrected so that the line movement generated by the drive unit 4 corresponds to the desired line movement that can be controlled by the diode line camera 5.
- a further diode line camera 5 ' is arranged in the vicinity of the inlet of the strand in the drive unit 4.
- the measurement signals of the diode line camera 5 ' are also fed to the evaluation unit 6. This makes it possible to take into account the natural vibrations of the line or the system or to set the driving style of the entire system so that critical areas are avoided.
- the measurement result of the strand movement can of course be displayed on a display unit 8.
