Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a roll stand for cold rolling of rolling stock.
  • the rolling stand comprises at least an upper and a lower support roll and an upper and a lower work roll, which span a roll gap.
  • a lower and an upper intermediate roll may also be provided between the work rolls and the support rolls.
  • the invention also relates to said roll stand.
  • Reduziergerüste have the task to reduce per stitch 30 to 80% of the thickness of the rolling stock. At these high degrees of deformation occur high rolling forces and rolling moments. Therefore, a roller cooling with high efficiency is necessary. Here are up to 10,000 l / min. per mill converted to cooling amount.
  • the work rolls in the reducing stand are of relatively smooth surface without special texturing.
  • the upper backup roller is on the upper intermediate roll and this in turn on the upper work roll on. If the intermediate roll is missing, as in the four-roll stand, then the upper support roll rests directly on the upper work roll.
  • the rolling forces are in the range of 10 to 20 MN.
  • the rolling moments are in a range of 100 up to 200 kNm.
  • a special thickness control is used, which can be operated both in the position control mode, as well as rolling force control mode.
  • the essential actuator of the thickness control during reduction are almost exclusively the adjusting cylinders of the support rollers and only in peripheral areas of the strip tension.
  • Reducing stands can be in six-roller or four-roller design, d. H. be formed with six or four rollers.
  • Reduzier STEM typically both work rolls are rotated to transmit a rolling torque on both work rolls.
  • Such reducers are known both for reducing iron metal and for reducing non-ferrous metal.
  • the only noteworthy difference between the operation of ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal reducers is the use of the appropriate cooling lubricant;
  • the cooling lubricant is a (number word) means with the two functions cooling and lubricating.
  • rolling oil is typically used as the cooling lubricant.
  • the rolling force and the rolling moment are in In comparison to a reduction operation very low, specifically, the rolling forces during the temper rolling range in a range of 1 to 4 MN.
  • the rolling torques are typically in a range of 0 to 20 kNm.
  • the applied amount of tempering agent is about 20 l / min. per side of the rolling stock at a significantly lower level compared to the reduction operation.
  • the main task of the tempering agent is essentially the cleaning of the rolling stock or the rolls. During the temper rolling operation, typically neither of the two work rolls is driven; instead, only the lower support roller is driven, thus transferring a rolling moment to it.
  • the rolling force can be applied either via the adjusting cylinder of the upper support roller; this presupposes, however, that the upper support roller rests either on the upper work roll or, if present, on the upper intermediate roll.
  • the upper backup roll may also be lifted from the upper work roll or, if present, from the upper intermediate roll. Then, the application of the rolling force in the skin pass through a suitable employment of the upper bending cylinder, which act either on the upper work roll or - if present - on the upper intermediate roll.
  • the known pure non-ferrous metal reducing stands are not suitable for combined operation, ie for an alternative tempering operation for non-ferrous metal, because the reducing stands are designed for rolling forces that would be too great for a nonferrous metal tempering operation.
  • the friction forces within the hydraulic adjustment are approximately proportional to the maximum force, that is, a pitch cylinder, which has been designed for high forces can not work due to its internal friction in the required accuracy at low rolling forces.
  • Reduziergerüsten usually two rollers, i.d.R. the work rolls driven to transmit the required rolling torque as evenly as possible in the nip.
  • Smallest differences in diameter between the work rolls lead to moment differences between the rolls, which, however, do not have a detrimental effect on the rolling result, because the high decreases compensate for the rolling stock, e.g. by shear effects, takes place.
  • this internal compensation can not take place because only near-product roll formations take place.
  • the rolling moments are so low that the drive of only one roller is sufficient.
  • the present invention seeks to further develop a known method and a known rolling stand for cold rolling of rolling material operable in a reducing or a temper rolling operation, that the quality of the rolling stock and the stability of the rolling conditions are improved in the temper rolling.
  • This object is achieved by the method claimed in claim 1.
  • This method is characterized in that the upper or the lower work roll is uncoupled from its drive device in the temper rolling operation. Neither the upper nor the lower support roller are driven in the temper rolling operation according to the invention.
  • the claimed method provides that the rolling stand can be operated as an alternative to the temper rolling in a mode of operation reducing operation for significantly reducing the thickness of the rolling stock.
  • a combi-scaffold which allows for the ironing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and the reduction of ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal on a scaffold, offers distinct advantages, especially in financial terms compared to two separate scaffolds; H. a Reduziergerüst and a separate skin pass mill.
  • the claimed drive concept in which the two work rolls are rotationally coupled to each other in the temper rolling on rolling stock together. Even moments-trim, chattering, surface defects and / or unstable rolling conditions, as they typically arise in a positive coupling of both work rolls to the comb roller gear, are advantageously avoided by the claimed drive of only one of the two work rolls. Overall, the quality of the rolling stock is improved and the rolling conditions stabilized by the claimed drive concept in the temper rolling. Thus, the claimed method is particularly suitable for casting non-ferrous metal strip.
  • a first embodiment of the method according to the invention is in the tempering the upper support roller of the upper work roll or - if present - lifted from the upper intermediate roll and there is the application and adjustment of the rolling force by the action of the upper bending cylinder on the upper work roll or - if present - on the upper intermediate roll.
  • the lifting of the upper backup roll from the upper work roll or from the upper intermediate roll provided according to the first embodiment avoids the described problem of excessive rolling force when the backup roll rests.
  • the upper support roller may also rest on the upper work roll or on the upper intermediate roll; then, however, the said disadvantages persist in the fine adjustment of the tempering forces.
  • the method according to the invention provides that in the temper rolling operation the thickness of the rolling stock is regulated with the aid of a skin pass control loop to a predetermined constant nominal thickness, e.g. by suitable variation of the strip tension of the rolling stock or the rolling speed as manipulated variables.
  • the skin level control, d. H. Thickness control during skin pass requires that the rolling force must be kept constant in order to obtain a uniform impression of the roughness of the temper rolling on the strip. It should be possible no thickness jumps occur.
  • the method according to the invention advantageously provides for a regulation of the rolling force applied to the rolling stock with the aid of a rolling force control loop, the bending cylinders serving as actuators for the rolling force.
  • a position control loop is provided in order to keep the setting position of the work rolls constant.
  • Both the rolling force control and the position control must be done in real time if possible, which is why the step responses of the two control loops preferably last less than 80 ms.
  • the method according to the invention provides that, optionally, a flatness control loop can also be provided for regulating the flatness of the rolling stock.
  • the flatness control loop then comprises a flatness measuring device, z. B. a flatness measuring roller at the output of the rolling stand for detecting the actual flatness of the rolling stock.
  • the actual flatness measured in this way is compared with a predetermined desired flatness, ie the difference between these two flatnesses is formed and this difference is calculated as Flatness control deviation fed to a flatness controller, which generates a suitable actuating signal for an actuator, for example, the upper bending cylinder of the upper intermediate or work roll, in accordance with the flatness control deviation.
  • the bending cylinders are controlled such that the flatness at the outlet of the rolling stand ideally corresponds to the predetermined desired flatness.
  • the lubricant is circulated and prefiltered after its use and before its reuse or prior to its recirculation.
  • the lubricant is freed of tinsel particles that may be produced during the temper rolling operation.
  • the prefiltering is preferably carried out before a typically anyway carried out very fine filtering of the lubricant.
  • the minimum amount is ideally such a small amount that is completely consumed during the temper rolling in the nip, so that in the outlet of the rolling stand ideally no lubricant remains on the surface of the rolling and no lubricant runs off the side of the rolling stock.
  • This minimal quantity lubrication basically takes place alternatively to the recycling of the lubricant, as described in the previous paragraph. If, in the reality of minimal quantity lubrication, small residual amounts of lubricant nevertheless remain on the rolling stock, these residual quantities can, of course, still be circulated and reused after prefiltering.
  • the inventive method is provided for non-ferrous metal strip or ferrous metal strip as a rolling stock.
  • rolling oil is preferably used as lubricant, taking advantage of its lubricant function. Basically, rolling oil however, in all modes of operation, that is, both for reducing non-ferrous metal strip or ferrous metal strip, as well as for tempering non-ferrous metal strip or ferrous metal strip.
  • temper rolling rolls typically with a certain surface roughness
  • These temper rolling are advantageously cleaned during the breaks of the tempering operation by a high-pressure spray with the lubricant or with the aid of brushes.
  • the cleaning process has the advantage that the service life of the temper rolling specially roughened for the temper rolling is increased.
  • a rolling stand according to claim 11 This solution is characterized in that the torque transmission device has at least one coupling device and an associated control device for uncoupling the upper or the lower work roll from the at least one drive device during the tempering operation.

  • the torque transmission device 120 'according to its first embodiment can not only be used as shown in FIG Fig. 1 shown to be operated in conjunction with a four-high stand, but also in conjunction with a six-high stand.
  • the torque transmission device 120 "according to its second embodiment can not only be used as in FIG Fig. 2 shown to be operated in conjunction with a six-high stand, but also in conjunction with a four-high stand.
  • the clutch devices are assigned a control device 127.
  • the control device makes it possible to open or close the clutch devices, depending on the operation of the rolling stand, either in the reduction mode or in the skin pass mode.
  • FIG. 3 Fig. 11 finally shows the necessary process steps for selecting either the reduce mode of operation or the skin pass mode in a combination mill which can alternatively run both modes of operation.
  • the framework parameters are first set to reduction mode.
  • the technological control loops such as the thickness control loop
  • the flatness control loop for which the available actuators are essential, are parameterized accordingly.
  • the technological control loops are activated both in skin pass mode and in reduction mode, but possibly parameterized differently.
  • the thickness control typically takes the form of a monitor or mass flow control. All rollers are integrated in the power flow. The adjustment of the rolling force and the position of the work rolls takes place in Reduzier réelle on the Anstellzylinder on the top of the upper intermediate roll or the upper work roll resting support roller act. If intermediate rolls are present, they are in contact with the work rolls. Accordingly, these adjusting cylinders are to be addressed in reducing operation as actuators in said control circuits.
  • both work rolls are rotationally driven by the torque transfer device 120 ', 120 "from the at least one drive device 124, 124-1, 124 - 2.
  • smooth-surfaced rolls are typically selected in the reduce mode essentially ready for rolling.
  • one of the two work rolls within the torque transfer device 120 ', 120' is uncoupled from the drive means by means of the coupler while the other work roll remains coupled. Subsequently, it is then checked whether the expected rolling force in the tempering operation is greater than a predetermined rolling force threshold F_Grenz or not. If this is not the case, the upper support roller is lifted from the upper work roll or from the upper intermediate roll.
  • the rolling force and the position control loop are configured so that the upper bending cylinder 140 are actuated as actuators. Thickness control in skin pass mode is typically done as a skin level control. If the rolling force to be set in the temper rolling operation is greater than the predetermined threshold value, the upper backup roll is placed on the upper work roll or the upper intermediate roll.
  • all framework parameters in particular all setpoint values for the control circuits activated in the skin pass mode, are set to suitable nominal values in Dressing operation set.
  • the setting of the framework parameters takes place in order to ensure the concrete penetration of the bending systems and the framework rigidity parameters required for the thickness control.
  • temper rolling rolls with a predetermined surface roughness are typically used in the temper rolling operation.
  • a minimum quantity lubrication or alternatively a lubricant circuit with the prefilter 190 may be provided in order to filter out the abrasion (tinsel) in the tempering operation from the lubricant and thus to relieve the main filter.
  • the rolling stand is then ready for rolling in the temper rolling operation.
  • the combination rolling mill according to the invention is designed to be converted from the Reduzierkonfiguration in the temperament configuration and vice versa.
  • the upper back-up roll may optionally be placed on and off the upper work roll, the upper and lower work rolls may be uncoupled and uncoupled to the drive means and the smooth reduction work rolls must be against the roughened skin-pass mill rolls be exchangeable.
  • the pre-filter for filtering baubles in the skin pass mode can also be removable when changing over to reduction operation, since this prefilter is typically dispensable in the reduction mode.
