Definitions

  • This invention relates to a single stand rolling mill to roll metal strip and to the operation of a single stand rolling mill.
  • a single stand rolling mill for rolling metal strip is normally set to run at a rolling speed determined by the mill operator. After the strip has been threaded into the mill, the mill is accelerated up to a speed level which is fixed by the operator. The mill speed remains at this level while most of the strip is rolled and, when the tail end of the strip approaches the mill, the speed is reduced in order for the tail end to be rolled and handled without damage. To adjust the speed of the mill, the operator alters a mill speed reference signal applied to the closed loop speed control system and the control system follows this reference.
  • the rolling mill prefferably to have its rolls rotated at a constant speed and the uncoiler from which the strip is uncoiled and the coiler onto which the strip is coiled then take up appropriate speeds which are determined by the entry/exit speeds of the mill and the tension levels between the uncoiler and the mill and between the mill and the coiler, respectively. If one of these tension levels changes, the speed of the respective uncoiler or coiler is changed to re-establish the original tension level.
  • Mill speed is usually the term applied to the circumferential speed of the mill rolls and is usually taken to be an indicator of the speed of the outgoing rolled strip; however, this is not strictly true because there is "forward slip" between the rotating rolls and the strip. This is created by the mechanics of the roll bite and it changes under the influences of; lubrication between the rolls and the strip; of rolling load and of tension deviations. Roll load variations occur as a result of changes in strip entry thickness requiring load changes needed to remove these thickness variations.
  • a forward slip control system for a rolling mill which comprises a sensor for detecting the velocity of strip leaving the mill, a sensor for detecting the peripheral velocity of one of the rolls, and an arithmetic unit for calculating the forward slip of the strip relative to the roll. From this value of forward slip a drive controller is arranged to control the actual peripheral velocity of the other roll in order to achieve the desired forward slip value.
  • a rolling mill including the combination of features set out in independent claim 4.
  • An advantage of the invention is to keep a substantially constant coiling speed thereby reducing the demands of the exit tension controller, thereby holding more constant the level of outgoing tension, thereby producing strip of a more constant thickness and coiled tension.
  • a single stand rolling mill 1 has its work rolls driven by separate drive shafts from a drive motor 3 via a gear box 5.
  • a coil of strip 7 on a driven pay-off reel 9 is threaded through the mill and on to a coiler 11.
  • Tachometers 13 and 15 driven by the strip measure the ingoing and outgoing speeds of the strip, respectively.
  • the main drive motor 3 is connected to a tachometer 17 and a signal from this tachometer is compared in a comparator 19 with a signal from an adjustable speed reference source 21.
  • the difference signal is used to control a thyristor power unit 23 in the sense to adjust the motor speed to the value set by the reference source.
  • the tachometer 15 which provides a signal proportional to the speed of the strip immediately prior to it being coiled, is connected to the comparator 19 instead of the main drive tachometer.
  • the signal is compared with the speed reference signal from the source 21. Any difference between these signals is amplified and fed to the thyristor power unit 23 where it is used to control the operation of the motor 3.
  • the exit speed of the strip material is kept substantially constant and the level of outgoing tension is held more constant.
  • the relationship between the ingoing and outgoing speed of the strip is substantially constant so entry speed changes are reduced.
  • the main drive motor tachometer 17 is retained in the motor control loop and a trim signal added to the speed reference signal from the source 21.
  • the comparator 19 receives signals from the tachometer 17 and a speed reference 21 and also a trim signal obtained indirectly from the exit tachometer 15. This signal from the tachometer 15 and the speed reference signal are applied to a control amplifier whose output representing speed deviation serves as the trim signal.
  • This trim signal is applied to the main drive motor control loop in order to hold constant the exit speed for small perturbations in exit speed. Large perturbations in exit speed will cause main drive speed trim to hold steady (as the control amplifier 24 saturates) and then the coiler is allowed to accelerate taking the main drive speed trim into its active region.
  • a high pass filter 25 could be fitted into the main drive speed trim line thus allowing the main drive motor to compensate for short term perturbations in exit speed and the exit coiler to compensate for long term perturbations in exit speed. These alternatives are shown by the routing of exit speed signal in the dotted or dashed lines.
  • the mill exit speed is kept substantially constant during the rolling of all but the front and tail ends of the strip during which the strip is deliberately accelerated and decelerated respectively.
  • the entry speed of the strip is also kept substantially constant. This results in reduced entry tension changes and gauge errors of strip rolled in the mill are reduced.

Abstract

Un laminoir à bandes à un seul montant est commandé par un signal représentant la vitesse de la bande lorsqu'elle sort du laminoir. Ledit laminoir est commandé de façon à maintenir à un niveau pratiquement constant la vitesse de sortie de la bande. La vitesse d'entrée de la bande est ainsi maintenue à un niveau pratiquement constant et les variations d'épaisseur dans la bande laminée sont réduites.
