Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wire rod cooling apparatus and a wire rod cooling method in which a wire rod formed by hot rolling of a steel piece is wound in a shape of non-concentric rings and then the wire rod being transferred on a conveyor is subjected to controlled cooling.
  • a wire rod formed by hot rolling of a steel piece is cooled to approximately 800 to 900°C by a water cooling means, and is then wound in a shape of non-concentric rings by a laying head (wire rod winder).
  • the wound non-concentric ring-shaped wire rod (hereinafter, occasionally referred to as simply a "ring-shaped wire rod”) is transferred on a conveyor provided on the exit side of the laying head, and is further cooled by a cooling apparatus while being transferred.
  • the water cooling and the cooling after winding are called controlled cooling, and are an important process that determines the structure, mechanical properties, and surface conditions of the wire rod.
  • a slit nozzle is provided below a roller conveyor or a chain conveyor over the entire area in the width direction of the conveyor (the direction orthogonal to the transfer direction in a planar view; hereinafter, referred to as simply a "width direction"), and coolant is sprayed from the slit nozzle toward the ring-shaped wire rod; thereby, the cooling of the ring-shaped wire rod is performed.
  • the wire rod In both end portions in the width direction of the ring-shaped wire rod that is being transferred on the conveyor, there are many portions where parts of the wire rod overlap, and the wire rod is dense (hereinafter, occasionally referred to as a "dense-in-width-direction portion"). On the other hand, in the central portion in the width direction of the ring-shaped wire rod, the wire rod is sparse as compared to the dense-in-width-direction portion (hereinafter, occasionally referred to as a "sparse-in-width-direction portion").
  • Both portions are at the same temperature immediately after winding, but when the ring-shaped wire rod is cooled while being transferred under conditions where a uniform amount of coolant is sprayed in the width direction, a temperature difference occurs gradually between the dense-in-width-direction portion and the sparse-in-width-direction portion of the ring-shaped wire rod being transferred, because it is less easy for coolant to pass through the dense-in-width-direction portion.
  • a cooling apparatus taking into consideration the sparseness and denseness in the width direction of the ring-shaped wire rod, there is a cooling apparatus described in Patent Literature 1, for example.
  • a slit nozzle is provided only in both end portions in the width direction of the ring-shaped wire rod, that is, in the dense-in-width-direction portion, not over the entire area in the width direction.
  • the dense-in-width-direction portion which is at a relatively high temperature as compared to the sparse-in-width-direction portion, can be intensely cooled, and the temperature unevenness of the entire wire rod can be reduced.
  • cooling apparatus described in Patent Literature 2 as another cooling apparatus.
  • a guide that causes the ring-shaped wire rod to meander is provided on a roller conveyor, and the position of the individual ring is shifted to change the position where the dense-in-width-direction portion is formed; consequently, the density of the portion that has been the previous dense-in-width-direction portion is reduced.
  • the temperature difference between the dense-in-width-direction portion and the sparse-in-width-direction portion of the ring-shaped wire rod is reduced, and the temperature unevenness of the entire wire rod can be reduced.
  • the ring-shaped wire rod being transferred receives the influence of speed differences resulting from a speed variation of the rolling mill, a winding speed variation of the laying head, a speed variation of the conveyor, and the like, vibration during transfer, etc., and is not uniform in the spacing in the transfer direction between rings of the ring-shaped wire rod (hereinafter, referred to as a "ring pitch") and the ring diameter in many cases.
  • a dense portion and a sparse portion occur not only in the width direction but also in the transfer direction.
  • the distance between adjacent rings is short and the wire rod M is dense (hereinafter, occasionally referred to as a "dense-in-transfer-direction portion").
  • the distance between adjacent rings is long and the wire rod M is sparse as compared to the dense-in-transfer-direction portion TD (hereinafter, occasionally referred to as a "sparse-in-transfer-direction portion").
  • the temperature of the dense-in-transfer-direction portion TD becomes higher than the temperature of the sparse-in-transfer-direction portion TS, because of the situation where the dense-in-transfer-direction portion is less easy for coolant to pass through and is cooled less easily.
  • the ring pitch is not uniform, the way that parts of the wire rod overlap is irregular.
  • FIG. 1 it is found that, on a straight line L along the transfer direction T, there is no regularity in the way that parts of the wire rod M overlap.
  • the temperature measured at the point P varies with time, and also the temperature variation is in a state of no regularity.
  • Such a phenomenon has occurred also in portions other than on the straight line L. Therefore, the temperature of the ring-shaped wire rod M in which sparseness and denseness have occurred in the transfer direction T is in a state of being complexly distributed.
  • the cooling apparatus uses a density detector to detect the linear density (sparseness and denseness) of the ring-shaped wire rod in the width direction on a time-series basis, and controls the gas flow rate of cooling gas jetted from a nozzle that is divided into a plurality of blocks in the width direction on a time-series basis. Thereby, the temperature differences in the transfer direction and the width direction of the ring-shaped wire rod can be reduced.
  • the cooling apparatus uses a scanning radiation thermometer to measure the temperature of the ring-shaped wire rod, with division into zones in an arbitrary direction with respect to the transfer direction, and adjusts the temperature and amount of coolant sprayed to the ring-shaped wire rod in accordance with the measured temperature distribution of the entire ring-shaped wire rod. Thereby, the temperature difference between portions of the ring-shaped wire rod can be reduced.
  • CN 102 451 841 A discloses a system and a method for cooling a high-carbon steel wire rod after rolling.
  • US 6 161 787 A discloses a method and a device for placing wire windings onto a conveyor belt, particularly onto a Stelmor conveyor belt, wherein the wire windings are placed on the conveyor belt in an actual position relative to the belt middle.
  • the temperature is high in the portion where the wire rod is dense, and the temperature is low in the portion where the wire rod is sparse.
  • the temperature is high in the portion where the wire rod is dense, and the temperature is low in the portion where the wire rod is sparse.
  • the temperatures of these portions are different temperatures during cooling, even when they are the same temperature during temperature measurement.
  • portions at different temperatures are cooled by the same amount of coolant, the ring-shaped wire rod cannot be cooled uniformly.
  • Patent Literature 4 although the amount of coolant is controlled on a zone basis, the zone basis does not make it possible to selectively cool only a specified portion that is a more local portion, and the control is less good in fineness likewise. Hence, in the cooling apparatuses described in Patent Literatures 3 and 4, it has been difficult to cope with the quick change of the specified portion.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the circumstances mentioned above, and an object of the present invention is to perform cooling taking into consideration the sparseness and denseness in the transfer direction which occur in a wire rod that is wound in a shape of non-concentric rings after hot rolling and is being transferred, and thus reduce the temperature unevenness of the entire wire rod.

  • the specified portion of the wire rod being transferred can be selectively cooled, and the amount of coolant can be controlled in accordance with the quick change of the specified portion. That is, fine control of the amount of coolant which has been unable to be achieved by conventional cooling apparatuses becomes possible.
  • the flow rate of coolant is controlled on the basis of both the sparseness and denseness information and the temperature information of the wire rod, the flow rate of coolant can be controlled appropriately even for portions where the wire rod is sparse and yet the temperature is high and portions where the wire rod is dense and yet the temperature is low, for which appropriate control has so far been unable to be made, not to mention portions where the wire rod is dense and the temperature is high and portions where the wire rod is sparse and the temperature is low.
