Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rolling process for a rolling stock, in particular a strip-shaped rolling stock having a rolling stock and a rolling stock, wherein the rolling stock, starting with the beginning of rolled stock, is rolled in a nip of a rolling stand to a first nominal dimension.
  • the present invention further relates to a data carrier having a computer program stored on the data carrier, the computer program comprising machine code, wherein the machine code causes the execution of such a rolling process when the machine code is executed by a control computer for a rolling stand.
  • the present invention also relates to a control computer for a rolling mill, which is designed - in particular programmed - that the rolling mill is controlled by him according to such a rolling process.
  • Rolling process, data carrier and control computer of the type mentioned are well known.
  • the entire rolling stock ie from the beginning of the rolling stock to the end of the rolling stock, is rolled to the first nominal dimension.
  • a rolling method is known in which is determined by a control computer during rolling of the rolling stock in the rolling mill continuously, which point of the rolling stock is currently in the nip, and the rolling of the rolling stock is terminated on the first target dimension, if just in the nip located location of the rolling stock corresponds to a predetermined first point of change of the rolling stock, which lies between the beginning of rolling stock and the rolling stock.
  • After reaching the first point of change of the rolling process is reversed, so that the rolling stock passes through the rolling mill after reaching the first point of change backwards.
  • the rolling gap of the roll stand is not changed in this case, so that the reversing stitch is performed as a smoothing pass.
  • JP 60 037 201 A Of the JP 60 037 201 A a similar disclosure can be found.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a rolling method, a data carrier and a control computer for a rolling stand, by means of which a rolling stock can be produced, which is integrally formed and longitudinally has at least two sections which have different dimensions, wherein the rolling process should be independent of whether the roll gap is adjustable only in the load-free state or under load.
  • the object is achieved for the rolling process in that the rolling stand is driven up when the location of the rolling stock, which is currently in the nip corresponds to the first point of change, so that in the rolling stock at the first point of change a first stage is introduced and the Rolling material passes through the roll gap after driving up the rolling mill without deformation.
  • the task for the data carrier is achieved in that a computer program is stored on it, which serves to carry out such a rolling process when the computer program is executed by a control computer for a rolling stand.
  • control computer for a rolling stand which is designed in such a way, in particular programmed, that the rolling mill is controlled by him according to such a rolling process.
  • the deformation-free passage of the rolling stock through the - then ramped - roll stand can alternatively forward (ie in the previous rolling direction) or backwards.
  • the rolling stock is rolled to a third nominal dimension in the rolling nip of the roll stand after rolling to the first nominal dimension, starting with the start of rolling stock, until the location of the rolling stock that is currently in the nip corresponds to a second point of change.
  • the second point of change may lie between the beginning of the rolling stock and the first point of change, so that a second step is introduced into the rolling stock at the second point of change.
  • the second change point may also correspond to the first change point, so that the first level is increased.
  • the rolling stock when the rolling stock has completely passed through the rolling stand, it is possible for the rolling stock to be rolled to a second nominal dimension starting from the rolling stock end until the point currently in the nip corresponds to a second point of change between the first point of change and the rolling stock end, so that in the rolling stock at the second point of change, a second stage is introduced. Also in this case, of course, at the second point of change, the rolling is completed to the second nominal dimension and the rolling stand ascended.
  • the rolling stock 1 is preferably a strip-shaped rolling stock 1. However, it would also be possible to roll a bar-shaped rolling stock or a tubular rolling stock.
  • Rolling of the rolling mill is rolled to a third target dimension until the location of the rolling stock, which is currently in the nip, corresponds to a second point of change.
  • the second point of change may lie between the beginning of the rolling stock and the first point of change, so that a second step is introduced into the rolling stock at the second point of change.
  • the second change point may also correspond to the first change point, so that the first level is increased.
  • the rolling stock when the rolling stock has completely passed through the rolling stand, it is possible for the rolling stock to be rolled to a second nominal dimension starting from the rolling stock end until the point currently in the nip corresponds to a second point of change between the first point of change and the rolling stock end, so that in the rolling stock at the second point of change, a second stage is introduced. Also in this case, of course, at the second point of change, the rolling is completed to the second target dimension.
  • the rolling stock 1 is preferably a strip-shaped rolling stock 1. However, it would also be possible to roll a bar-shaped rolling stock or a tubular rolling stock.
  • the rolling stock 1 has a rolling stock 2 and a rolling stock 3. Furthermore, at least one change point 4 - hereinafter referred to as the first change point 4 - marked.
  • the point of change 4 is preferably not defined by its distance to the start of rolling stock 2 or to the rolling stock 3, since this distance changes during rolling of the rolling stock 1.
  • the point of change 4 is preferably determined by the amount of material of the rolling stock 1, which is located between the change point 4 and the beginning of rolling stock 2 and the rolling stock 3.
  • the rolling stock 1 is rolled in a roll stand 5.
  • the rolling stand 5 in turn is controlled by a control computer 6.
  • the control computer 6 is supplied with a computer program 7.
  • the feeding of the computer program 7 can take place, for example, by means of a transportable or another data carrier 8 on which the computer program 7 is stored in (exclusively) machine-readable form.
  • the control computer 6 is programmed (or formed more generally) in such a way that it carries out a rolling process, which is described below in connection with FIGS FIGS. 2 to 14 is described.
  • FIG. 2 controls the control computer 6 in a step S1, the rolling mill 5 such that the rolling stock 1 from the rolling stock 2 to a first nominal dimension d1 * (in a strip-shaped rolling stock 1 so to a first target thickness d1 *) is rolled.
  • the determination of the required control parameters for the roll stand 5 by means of a pass schedule and the framework parameters of the roll stand 5 is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • control computer 6 determines which point 10 of the rolling stock 1 is currently located in the nip 9.
  • the determination of the point 10 can be made for example via a well-known material tracking 11.
  • step S3 the control computer 6 compares the point 10 ascertained in step S2 with the first point of change 4. If the first point of change 4 has not yet been reached - see, for example, FIG. B. FIG. 3 the control computer 6 returns to step S2. On the basis of this return to step S2, on the one hand, the rolling process started in step S1 is continued. On the other hand, the step S2 is executed again, so that as a result of the control computer 6 during the rolling of the rolling stock 1 in the rolling mill 5 continuously determines which point 10 of the rolling stock 1 is currently in the nip 9.
  • step S5 can be of different nature.
  • the rolling mill 5 (of course, due to a corresponding control by the control computer 6) ascended when the point 10, which is currently located in the nip 9, corresponds to the first point of change 4.
  • the driving of the roll stand 5 has the advantage that it also means. Actuators is possible, which can only be moved without load. Then, the rolling stock 1 forward (see arrow V) or backwards (see arrow R) removed from the roll stand 5. The rolling stock 1 therefore passes through the rolling gap 9, since the roll stand 5 is driven up, the roll gap 9 without deformation.
  • the second setpoint dimension d2 * may be smaller than the first setpoint dimension d1 *. Preferably, it is greater than the first nominal dimension d1 *, since in this case a faster adjustment to the second nominal dimension d2 * is possible.
  • the procedure for introducing the second stage 14 at the second point of change 14 is completely analogous to the introduction of the first level 12 at the first point of change 4. Of detailed explanations this is therefore omitted.
  • the measures that are taken after the introduction of the second stage 14, are completely analogous to the measures that are taken after the introduction of the first stage 12 at the first point of change 4.
  • the roll stand 5 can be ascended - see FIG. 8 -, the rolling process is continued with another target dimension, etc ..
  • nip 9 is adjustable under load, it is - starting from the in FIG. 4 state shown - in the context of step S5 also possible, the rolling process to continue reaching the first point of change 4, but the rolling stock 1 is rolled in the direction of the beginning of rolling stock 2. In this case, the rolling stock is rolled to a second nominal dimension d3 *, the second nominal dimension d3 * - comparing FIG. 9 is smaller than the first target dimension d1 *.
  • the rolling stock 1 is rolled only from a point which lies between the first point of change 4 and the Walzgutahfang 2.
  • the rolling to the second nominal dimension d3 * is started directly at the first point of change 4.
  • the rolling of the rolling stock 1 to the second target dimension d3 * is terminated when the point 10 of the rolling stock 1, which is currently in the nip 9, corresponds to a predetermined second change point 15.
  • the second point of change 15 is in this case between the start of rolling 2 and the first point of change 4.
  • a second stage 16 is introduced into the rolling stock 1 at the second point of change 15. This is in FIG. 10 shown.
  • the rolling stock 1 will be rolled to the second target dimension d3 * until the beginning of rolling stock 2. This condition is in FIG. 11 shown.
  • the rolling stock 1 When the rolling stock 1 has been completely withdrawn from the roll gap 9, ie up to and including the beginning of the rolling stock 2, it is possible for the rolling stock 1 after rolling to reach the first nominal dimension d1 * or - in the case of the embodiment according to FIG. 11 after rolling to the second target dimension d3 * - to roll to a third target dimension d5 *.
  • the rolling process is started with the start of rolling 2 and listed until the point 10 of the rolling stock 1, which is currently located in the nip 9, corresponds to a second point of change 19.
  • FIG. 15 has a plurality of sections 21 to 25, which have different dimensions d1 to d5.
  • the generation of in FIG. 15 shown rolling stock 1 is particularly possible even if the rolling stand 5 has adjusting devices for adjusting the roll gap 9, which are only in the load-free state, so not under load adjustable.
  • the procedures described above are almost arbitrarily combinable with each other.
