Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling universal rolls in a continuously operated profile train, the vertical rolls being trailed during the rolling process and the speed of the driven horizontal rolls of each universal stand being subjected to regulation, and to a device for carrying out the method.
  • the combination of features according to the preamble of claim 1 and according to the preamble of claim 7 is known from practice.
  • the rolling of profiles in the known universal rolling process is characterized in that, starting from a preliminary profile (dog bone), the end profile is produced by rolling in two roll gaps (horizontal roll gap and vertical roll gap). The lengthening of the profile parts during the stitch is not the same.
  • JP-A-55 126 311 also proposes motor-driven vertical rolls in which the speed ratio of the horizontal rolls or the vertical rolls to one another is regulated in order to regulate the profile shape.
  • JP-A-55 094 704 also proposes heavy motors which are complex to couple to the vertical rollers and which are used to regulate the vertical roller speed.
  • the invention has for its object all of the above. Eliminate disadvantages in order to obtain very dimensionally stable products without twisting or internal tension.
  • the speed of the vertical rolls of at least one universal stand is regulated during the rolling process by means of their adjusting devices as actuators. This ensures that the speed of both the horizontal rollers and that of the vertical rollers is adjusted to a certain size. This eliminates fluctuations in speed between the horizontal and vertical rollers. The different material flows caused by speed fluctuations can also be prevented.
  • the two vertical rolls of a universal stand can be controlled separately.
  • the regulation of the vertical roller speed in connection with the knowledge of the caliber space, the flange width and using a hydraulic adjustment or a rolling moment separately for each vertical roller enables regulation of the mass flow to ensure the straight running of the profile and compliance with the extension ratios in the profile parts. This applies in particular to the rolling of asymmetrical profiles to ensure perfect straight running or a targeted pre-bending during rolling in order to obtain a largely straight profile after the cooling bed or to counteract a bending of the profile by pre-bending.
  • the horizontal roller control and the vertical roller control of each universal stand can be mutually influenced in order to set an optimal flow sheath.
  • control devices of the universal scaffolds can be mutually influenced in order to regulate optimal draft conditions between the scaffolds of the road. It makes sense to control at least one universal scaffold, but preferably several or all of the universal scaffolds on a carrier line.
  • Such regulations can be used to set optimal positions of the flow sheath and thus an optimal setting of the cross flow within the rolling stock during rolling.
  • a regulation can also be used to introduce optimal draft ratios between the scaffolds, for example for a minimal draft regulation, expediently selecting a scaffold of the carrier line as the guide scaffold which is not subject to the regulation.
  • At least one of the vertical rolls of a universal stand is assigned a speed pickup
  • the Speed sensor acts as the actual value transmitter of a control loop
  • the control loop the speed setpoint can be specified manually or from a memory and / or from the control loop of another roller of the same stand.
  • the control loop works on the adjusting device for the vertical rolls. Further particularly expedient refinements of the device result from the features of the invention which are further developed according to claims 11 and 12.
  • control loop 1 shows a control loop 1 for the horizontal roll of a universal stand, not shown, a control loop 2 for a vertical roll and a control loop 3 for the second vertical roll of a universal stand, not shown.
  • the outputs x, y, z of the control loops 1, 2, 3 act on the drives or adjusting devices (not shown) of the horizontal or vertical rollers.
  • the control loops 1, 2, 3 are connected to the respective actual values of the speed by digital angle step sensors 4, 5, 6 arranged on the respective rollers.
  • the target speed for the control loops 1, 2, 3 are taken from the multiplier 7.
  • multiplier 7 is that of a scaffold control loop 8 outgoing speed setpoint for each control loop 1, 2, 3 multiplied by a factor stored in a memory 9.
  • the factors for the control loops 1, 2, 3 can be the same. As a rule, however, at least the factors for the horizontal roller control loops and for the two vertical roller control loops will be different. However, this does not rule out that the factors for the two vertical control loops can also be different.
  • the actual values are applied to the scaffold control loop 8 via the connections a, b, c by the angle step sensors 4, 5, 6 and via the connection d.
  • connection d of the scaffolding control loop 8 e.g. the speed values of the profiles to be rolled are pending.
  • the setpoints for the scaffold control loop 8 are applied to it by a superimposed control loop 10.
  • a control value is supplied to the control circuit 10 from a memory 11.
  • the setpoint value stored in the memory 11 can represent, for example, the power consumption of the roll stand after tapping, but before the profile enters the next stand.
  • the actual value is stored once in the memory 11 by the power meter 12 before the profile enters the next stand. After the rolling stock has entered the next stand, the actual value is applied to the control circuit 10 by the power meter 12, so that this regulates the stand in the profile mill to a power consumption that is close to the power consumption of an individual stand. For example, a minimal tension between the scaffolding is achieved.
  • a target speed for the scaffold control circuit 8 can be tapped at the output of the control circuit 10.
  • the circuit shown in FIG. 1 can be repeated for each frame of the section mill.
  • a chock 13 can be seen in FIG.
  • An axis 14 is attached to the chock 13.
  • the vertical roller 15 is mounted on the axis 14.
  • a hydraulic motor 16 is accommodated, on the drive shaft of which the sun gear of a planetary gear 17 is seated.
  • the axis 14 is closed by a control cover 18.
  • a pulse generator 19 is also seated on the drive shaft of the hydraulic motor 16. The pulses are received via an optical fiber 20.
  • a stationary light source can be attached to the axis 14, opposite the light guide, and the pulse generator disk can be provided with holes. However, there is also the possibility of throwing light onto the pulse generator disk via the light guide 20 and of guiding the light reflected back from reflection zones of the pulse transmitter disks outward again via the light guide 20.
  • Both the pulse generator 19 and the light guide 20 are already components of the respective angle step transmitter 5, 6.
