Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the continuous treatment of a metal strip, in particular a metal strip made of aluminum (or an aluminum alloy) or of non-ferrous metal (or a non-ferrous metal alloy), with at least one tempering device designed as a strip floatation furnace through which the metal strip is passed in a suspended state, and with a strip travel control device with which the position of the metal strip in the strip travel plane and transversely to the strip travel direction can be controlled or regulated.
  • the strip floatation furnace has at least one heating section on the inlet side and one cooling section on the outlet side.
  • the metal strip preferably has a thickness of 0.1 mm to 6 mm.
  • the DE 103 26 071 discloses a device for the continuous treatment of a metal strip, comprising at least one tempering device through which the metal strip is guided in a suspended manner and comprising a strip position control device with which the position of the metal strip in the strip travel plane and transversely to the strip travel direction can be controlled or regulated, wherein the tempering device has at least one heating section on the inlet side and one cooling section on the outlet side.
  • Such a device of the type described above for the continuous treatment of a metal strip with a tempering device or with a strip floatation furnace can, for example, be an annealing line or continuous annealing line in which the metal strip undergoes heat treatment for metallurgical reasons, e.g., to achieve specific strength and deformation properties.
  • the device can also be a strip coating system or a strip coating line in which the heat treatment of the metal strip is not carried out in the sense of annealing, but rather to dry a coating on the strip, so that the furnace is then designed as a continuous dryer.
  • the metal strip is preferably aluminum or non-ferrous metal strip in a thickness range of 0.1 mm to 6 mm.
  • the metal strip Since the metal strip is heated to temperatures close to its melting point, for example, in annealing lines, it is generally necessary to set a relatively low strip tension within the tempering device to avoid strip breakage. To this end, the strip tension is reduced, for example, on the inlet side in a set of tension rollers and, after cooling, is increased again on the outlet side in another set of tension rollers.
  • the specific strip tension In the tempering device (strip floatation furnace), the specific strip tension is, for example, 0.5 to 1 MPa. Since the strip can "run off" in the furnace, especially at low strip tension, e.g., due to possible strip sabering, it is necessary to position the strip appropriately using a strip position control device, preferably to the center of the strip.
  • Such a strip travel control device typically has at least one control roller and suitable position measuring devices, e.g., strip edge detection.
  • the strip tracking control device is located behind the tempering device, i.e., after the cooling section.
  • the control roller is usually designed as a so-called PI strip center control, i.e., with a proportional P and an integral I component. The I component feeds back into the furnace section and prevents the strip from wandering excessively in the furnace.
  • the control roller is usually mounted on a movable base frame. This rotates the roller around an imaginary pivot point or an imaginary axis of rotation located in the furnace section and perpendicular to the strip travel plane.
  • the DE 103 26 071 A1 A system is known in which a deflection device is arranged on the outlet side behind a strip floatation furnace, below which a water cup acts as a fluid seal.
  • the deflection device can also simultaneously serve as a strip center control, with the strip position being detected by sensors arranged above and below the strip, and the movement of the strip center control for returning a strip running from the center position is carried out by means of a cylinder.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a device for the continuous treatment of a metal strip of the type described above, which is characterized by improved strip position control and which guarantees perfect strip running, especially in long furnace sections.
  • the invention teaches a device having the features of claim 1.
  • the cooling section is divided into at least a first cooling section and a subsequent, spaced-apart second cooling section, wherein the strip position control device is arranged between the first cooling section and the second cooling section.
  • the strip position control device is therefore no longer arranged on the output side behind the tempering device and consequently no longer after the last cooling zone, but is integrated into the cooling section by dividing the latter into two cooling section sections.
  • the strip In a first section, the strip is cooled to such an extent that it can easily pass the strip position control device.
  • the strip position control device is therefore located downstream of the first cooling section.
  • the strip then passes through the second cooling section and consequently the second part of the cooling zones, so that the strip is subsequently cooled to the desired final temperature.
  • the strip then passes through the second cooling section and consequently the second part of the cooling zones, so that the strip is subsequently cooled to the desired final temperature.
  • the strip position control device itself can be designed in a conventional manner, thus allowing the use of conventional solutions. According to the invention, the specific positioning of the strip guide device within the furnace section or within the cooling section is important.
  • the strip position control device for strip position control can comprise a conventional, adjustable deflection roller, e.g., a 90° deflection roller, or be designed as such.
  • a suitable (high-)temperature-resistant coating since the strip temperature between the first cooling section and the second cooling section is preferably 100°C to 200°C, particularly preferably 120°C to 150°C.
  • a 90° control roller another known type of strip center control can also be used, e.g., using a multi-roller control device, e.g., a three-roller control device or a control driver (e.g., as a pair of rollers). Suitable coatings are also preferably provided in this case.
  • the strip position control or strip center control is implemented in a basically known manner as PI control.
  • the control roller or multi-roller arrangement is therefore seated on a movable base frame in a basically known manner. This rotates the roller(s) around an imaginary pivot point, which in turn is located in the furnace section.
  • the degree of displacement of the roller from the center axis of the furnace section is the proportional component, and the degree of inclination of the roller is the integral component of the belt center adjustment.
  • the strip processing system preferably has a first set of tension rollers on the inlet side, which is arranged upstream of the tempering device to reduce the strip tension. Furthermore, it is expedient to provide another set of tension rollers on the outlet side and consequently downstream of the tempering device, with which the strip tension is increased again, so that further process steps can follow, such as stretch leveling, cleaning, or edge trimming.
  • a (further) tensioning roller set is arranged between the first cooling section and the second cooling section downstream of the strip position control device in order to increase the strip tension at this point.
  • This has the advantage that the strip can pass through the second part of the cooling zones with a somewhat increased strip tension.
  • Dividing the cooling line into two cooling sections results in both sections being (significantly) shorter than a single cooling section. Compared to conventional systems, this allows the entire temperature control system to be extended, meaning both the heating section and the entire cooling section can be extended.
  • the invention also relates to a method according to claim 7 for the continuous treatment of a metal strip using a device of the type described, wherein the metal strip is guided in a suspended manner through the heating section and the cooling section for thermal treatment.
  • This method is characterized in that the position of the metal strip (within the strip travel plane and transversely to the strip travel direction) is controlled or regulated by a strip position control device arranged within the cooling section.
  • such a strip position control device is preferably equipped with suitable measuring devices and a feedback loop, so that true control of the strip position is achieved.
  • the invention also encompasses embodiments that operate without measurement and/or feedback, so that the strip position is not regulated but merely controlled.
  • the length of the first cooling section is preferably dimensioned such that the metal strip has a temperature of up to 200°C, e.g. 100°C to 200°C, between the first cooling section and the second cooling section and consequently in the region of the strip position control device.
  • the temperature is particularly preferably up to 150°C, e.g. 120°C to 150°C.
  • the length of the second cooling section can then be dimensioned, for example, such that the strip exits at a temperature of up to 70°, preferably up to 60°C, e.g. 40°C to 60°C, so that further process steps, such as stretch leveling, cleaning or edge trimming, can follow without any problems.
  • the system according to the invention can, for example, be designed as an annealing line or be a component of an annealing line.
  • the tempering device is then designed as an annealing furnace.
  • the system can be designed as a strip coating system or be a component of a strip coating system.
  • the tempering device is then designed as a dryer or drying furnace. In both cases, the furnaces/dryers are preferably designed as strip floatation furnaces.
  • Fig. 1 shows a known strip treatment device for the continuous treatment of a metal strip, namely a thermal treatment.
  • This device has a tempering device 2, which is designed as a strip floatation furnace.
  • the metal strip 1 passes through this strip floatation furnace 2 without contact, as the strip is floated between upper and lower nozzles, which are subjected to appropriate air pressure. Details are not shown.
  • the strip floatation furnace 2 has a heating section 3 on the inlet side and a cooling section 4 on the outlet side.
  • the heating section is generally composed of several heating zones 3', while the cooling section is generally composed of several cooling zones 4', whereby the individual zones can be controlled individually or separately.
  • the metal strip is generally heated using air, so that the nozzles, e.g., the lower nozzles, can also perform temperature control in addition to their supporting function.
  • cooling is generally also carried out by air or by a combination of air and water.
  • the target temperature in the heating zone is, for example, approximately 550 °C to 570 °C.
  • the heating zones therefore form heating and holding zones. It can be seen that the system has a set of tension rollers 5 on the inlet side, with which the strip tension is reduced, e.g. to a specific strip tension of, for example, 0.5 to 1 MPa.
  • the metal strip 1 is center-controlled using a strip position control device 7, i.e. the position of the metal strip is controlled in the strip travel plane and transversely to the strip travel direction.
  • the strip tension is then increased again to the usual line level of, for example, a specific 10 to 20 MPa using a set of tension rollers 6 on the outlet side. Due to the low specific strip tension within the strip floatation furnace, it is necessary to bring the metal strip 1 to the strip center using the strip position control device 7.
  • Fig. 1 If one wants to increase the production capacity of such a Fig. 1 increase the system shown, it is generally necessary to extend the belt flotation furnace. With the Fig. 1 In the prior art system shown, there is a risk that, beyond a certain length of the strip floatation furnace, the strip position control device 7, e.g., the control roller 8, will no longer be sufficient, so that the strip path in the furnace may become unstable, i.e., the strip may run sideways or run into the furnace structure. This could lead to undesirable strip damage or strip breakage, so simply extending the strip floatation furnace is not advisable without additional measures.
  • the strip position control device 7 e.g., the control roller 8
  • the strip position control device 7 is therefore no longer arranged behind the tempering device 2 and consequently no longer behind the cooling section 4, but within the cooling section 4 itself.
  • the Fig. 2 and 3 show again a strip treatment device with a tempering device 2, which has an inlet-side heating section 3 and an outlet-side cooling section 4.
  • a tension roller set 5 is provided and on the outlet side, another tension roller set 6 can be provided, which only in Fig. 3 , but not in Fig. 2 is shown.
  • the heating section 3 is in turn composed of several heating zones 3', while the cooling section 4 is composed of several cooling zones 4'.
  • the cooling section 4 is divided into two cooling section sections, namely a first cooling section section 4a and a subsequent second cooling section section 4b.
  • the strip position control device 7 is now arranged according to the invention between the first cooling section section 4a and the second cooling section section 4b.
  • the metal strip is heated in the heating section 3 with the heating and holding zones 3' in a basically known manner to the desired temperature, and the temperature can be maintained for a desired time.
  • the heating section 3 therefore does not need to be modified compared to the prior art - apart from an extension.
  • the heating section 3 is then followed by the first cooling section section 3a, with which the metal strip is cooled down in a first stage, preferably to a temperature of 100 °C to 200 °C, e.g.
  • the strip center control is carried out using the strip center control device 7.
  • This has a 90° control roller 8.
  • Another tension roller set 9 is connected to increase the strip tension.
  • the strip then passes through the second cooling section 4b, where it is cooled to the desired final temperature of, for example, 40 °C to 60 °C. In this way, production capacity can be increased without significantly increasing the free strip length, thus preventing an impermissible strip path in the furnace.
  • a further strip position control device and/or another tension roller set can be connected to the second cooling section 4b. This is shown in Fig. 2 not shown.
  • Fig. 3 shows a modified embodiment of the invention, in which the strip center control device 7 is designed as a three-roller strip center control with three rollers 10. Furthermore, in Fig. 3 It is indicated that a further strip center control device 11 and a further tension roller set 6 can be arranged behind the second cooling section 4b.
  • the additional strip center control device 11 behind the second cooling section 4b is useful because, in this embodiment, no tension roller set is arranged between the cooling sections 4a, 4b and therefore the second section 4b also operates with a lower strip tension.
  • the furnace zones 3', 4' in the embodiment according to the invention have a total length which is greater than the length in the known embodiment according to Fig. 1
  • the free strip length is not increased, since the strip center control 7 is already connected to the first cooling section 4a.
  • This allows both the heating section 3 and the cooling section 4 to be significantly extended compared to the prior art.
  • cooling section sections 4a and 4b are created, each of which is (significantly) shorter than the heating section 3.
