Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for rolling a rolling stock in a rolling mill with at least one roll stand, wherein a gap height of a roll gap arranged between work rolls of the roll stand before contact of the rolling stock with these work rolls is set to be less than an inlet thickness of the rolling stock, at least one driven work roll of the Roll stand is operated at a target rotation speed after the rolling stock has reached the roll gap, and wherein the driven work roll is operated at a pilot rotation speed deviating from the target rotation speed until the rolling stock reaches the roll gap.
  • the invention further relates to a rolling mill for rolling a rolling stock, comprising at least one rolling stand and at least one control and / or regulating unit which controls the rolling stand, the control and / or regulating electronics being set up, a gap height of a roll gap arranged between work rolls of the rolling stand to set a contact of the rolling stock with these work rolls smaller than an inlet thickness of the rolling stock, to operate at least one driven work roll of the roll stand at a target rotation speed after the rolling stock has reached the roll gap and to operate the driven work roll at a pilot control rotation speed that deviates from the target rotation rate until that Rolled material reaches the roll gap.
  • the EP 2 796 217 A1 shows a method and a corresponding device for rolling a rolling stock in a rolling mill with at least one roll stand, wherein at least one driven work roll of the roll stand is operated at a target rotation speed after the rolling stock has reached the roll gap, and wherein the driven work roll at a target rotation speed deviating pilot control rotation speed is operated until the rolling stock reaches the roll gap.
  • rolling metal rolling stock also called slab
  • speed and mass flow disturbances occur when rolling begins in a roll stand of a rolling mill.
  • a rolling torque build-up which is required for the targeted forming of the rolling stock material, is connected to a rolling force build-up.
  • Forming torque is applied by a work roll drive of the roll stand.
  • a work roll of a roll stand waits for the rolling stock at a rotational speed v 0 required for a stationary forming process. If the rolling stock enters a roll gap of the roll stand, the work roll drive of the roll stand takes over the forming moment. Due to the usual regulation of the speed of work rolls of the roll stand, the speed of rotation of the work rolls is briefly reduced until the speed control has set the required target speed again. A material build-up then occurs in front of the roll stand, which should be absorbed by the installation of a mass flow control and tension control. For this purpose, for example, tension measuring rollers or loop lifters are used, with the help of which control devices adjust the rotational speeds of the work rolls of neighboring rolling stands until constant mass flow conditions and constant tension conditions are regained.
  • a common measure for reducing the requirements for the disturbance behavior of the mass flow control at the start of rolling is to pre-control the drop in rotational speed at the start of rolling.
  • a work roll or the drive of the work roll of a roll stand rotates before the start of rolling by a speed ⁇ v faster than under stationary rolling conditions.
  • this excess speed ⁇ v is switched off and the roll stand is given the speed under steady-state conditions. This ensures that the material jam on the inlet side of the roll stand is largely eliminated.
  • This procedure is also known as train building aid. It is often accepted that the train in the preceding process section is at a high level after tapping, but usually represents an increased process reliability.
  • the drop in speed on the work rolls of a roll stand and thus the pent-up length of the rolling stock in front of the roll stand depends on the speed controller settings (constant in normal operation) and on the rolling conditions and the required rolling torque.
  • the drop in speed is large, as is the required precontrol of the speed of rotation of the work roll.
  • the difficulty of the train building aid is to precisely predict the amount of the rotational speed pilot control ⁇ v and the optimal time sequence.
  • a rolling stand When tapping a rolling stock, taking the expected rolling force into account, a rolling stand can be placed in front of the required tapping position in such a way that the desired outlet thickness of the rolling stock is generated directly after the roll gap is filled with the material of the incoming rolling stock and the rolling force build-up.
  • This opening of the rolling stand from the advance position to the rolling position also leads to a contribution to the mass balance in the roll gap when the rolling stock is tapped and further accelerates the incoming material of the rolling stock.
  • This acceleration of the incoming rolling stock material is superimposed on the braking of the work roll drive. In many cases, the acceleration effect is subordinate. However, there are also cases in which the pulling of the rolled material into the roll gap or the acceleration effect can be dominated and observed, for example in the first roll stand of CSP (Compact Strip Production) systems.
  • One application with particular relevance to the drawing-in conditions are new plant concepts for continuous plants (coupled casting and rolling) in which large slab thicknesses of, for example, 70 mm to 160 mm thickness are to be cast and rolled out.
  • the slab head is moved through the open first roll stand of a rolling mill at the start of rolling in order to prevent the sprue from being able to be rolled out due to unfavorable temperature conditions and cast-in cold strand components Let the slab head through.
  • the first three roll stands of the rolling mill then touch the slab after passing through the strip head and close to the required intermediate thickness within a few seconds. Due to the large thicknesses at the slab head, the material of the slab head cannot be rolled out to the desired target thickness or the wedge generated in the process must be separated and discharged, which reduces the output of an endless system.
  • the slab head of an endless slab is to be rolled directly in the first rolling stand of a multi-stand rolling mill.
  • the non-rollable section of the slab head is cut off behind the casting machine in front of the first rolling stand, for example using scissors.
  • the first rolling stand is connected to the casting machine via the endless slab.
  • a tapping of a rolling stock in a rolling stand is defined so that the roll gap height before the rolling stock enters the roll gap is less than the inlet thickness of the incoming endless slab.
  • the tapping at the slab head of the continuous slab ensures that the required thickness reduction is set at the beginning of the slab and the cutting of material or the production of strip areas with transition thicknesses is avoided, which increases the output of the endless system.
  • An object of the invention is to largely reduce tensile changes and / or changes in mass flow in a rolling stock entering a rolling stand while a rolling head of the rolling stock is tapped with the rolling stand.
  • a gap height of a roll gap arranged between work rolls of the rolling stand before contact of the rolling stock with these work rolls is set to be less than an inlet thickness of the rolling stock
  • at least one driven work roll of the rolling stand being set with one Desired rotational speed is operated after the rolling stock has reached the roll gap, and wherein the driven work roll is operated at a pre-control rotational speed deviating from the desired rotating speed until the rolling stock reaches the rolling gap.
  • the pilot rotation speed is varied from the contact of the rolling stock with the driven work roll in such a way that the pilot rotation speed increases monotonously or falls monotonously.
  • the precontrol rotation speed of the driven work roll deviating from the desired rotation speed is varied from a first contact of the rolling stock entering the roll stand with the work roll until the point in time at which the rolling stock has reached the roll gap.
  • the roll gap is to be understood as the shortest distance between the driven work roll and a work roll interacting therewith.
  • a rolling stock head of the rolling stock is already replaced by the Work rolls are reshaped until the roll gap is filled with the rolling stock, which in the present case means reaching the roll gap.
  • the pilot rotation speed is higher than the target rotation speed, the pilot rotation speed is varied from the contact of the rolling stock with the driven work roll in such a way that the pilot rotation speed drops monotonously.
  • the pilot rotation speed is lower than the target rotation speed, the pilot rotation speed is varied from the contact of the rolling stock with the driven work roll such that the pilot rotation speed increases monotonously. As a result, largely reduced train changes and / or changes in mass flow are generated in the area in front of the roll stand, even with almost no train present.
  • a driven work roll of the first roll stand of a rolling mill can rotate before or at the start of rolling more slowly or faster than the target rotational speed.
  • endless rolling CEM, USP
  • the driven work rolls of the first three roll stands can rotate before or at the start of rolling more slowly or faster than the target rotational speed assigned to the respective roll stand.
  • the driven work rolls of the first two roll stands can rotate before or at the start of rolling more slowly or faster than the target rotational speed assigned to the respective roll stand.
  • the variation of the precontrol rotation speed according to the invention from the first contact of the incoming rolling stock with the driven work roll can take place over a defined period of time, for example using a ramp function or another monotonically increasing or monotonously decreasing function.
  • the variation of the pre-control rotation speed therefore begins with the first contact of the incoming rolling stock with the driven work roll.
  • the variation of the pre-control rotational speed is preferably adapted to the conditions in the roll gap. A good compensation can be achieved if the period of the variation of the pilot rotation speed is adapted to the period that begins with the first contact between the incoming rolling stock and the driven work roll and ends when the rolling stock has reached the roll gap.
  • the variation of the precontrol rotation speed is advantageously selected such that an expected length disturbance ⁇ l in front of the roll stand is compensated for.
  • This length disturbance is made up of a constant part from the pulling behavior of the rolling stock into the roll gap and a load-dependent, i.e. torque-dependent part for the drop in rotational speed on the driven work roll and an opening of the preceding roll gap.
  • the compensation length results from the integral balancing of the area between the point in time at which the rolling stock comes into first contact with the driven work roll and the point in time at which the rolling stock reaches or fills the roll gap and the pre-control rotational speed specification relative to the value the target rotation speed.
  • the invention can be implemented with very little effort and does not require any additional space for alternative internals to maintain a constant mass flow, such as a loop storage device to compensate for mass flow disturbances, which would have to be designed for a rolling stock thickness of up to 120 mm.
  • a loop storage device to compensate for mass flow disturbances, which would have to be designed for a rolling stock thickness of up to 120 mm.
  • no increased material waste is generated in the method according to the invention, since the rolling stock including its rolling stock head is completely rolled.
  • the invention enables a reduction in the demands on the speed of a mass flow control between a casting machine and the first roll stand of a multi-stand rolling mill of an endless system, the mass flow control being able to compensate for almost stationary conditions and being relieved for the relatively fast tapping in the first roll stand.
  • a rolling stock in the form of a slab, in particular an endless slab can be rolled.
  • the rolling mill can also have two or more roll stands. Since, according to the invention, the gap height of the roll gap arranged between work rolls of the roll stand is set to be smaller than an inlet thickness of the rolling stock before the rolling stock comes into contact with it, the rolling stock is rolled from its rolling stock head and thus completely, which reduces material waste compared to systems in which the Rolled material head first passed through open rolling stands and then separated from the remaining rolled material. Both working rolls of the roll stand coming into contact with the rolling stock can also be driven accordingly, wherein a speed of rotation of the respective working roll can be controlled and / or regulated according to the invention.

Laminoir (1) selon la revendication 8, caractérisé en ce que l'électronique de commande et/ou de réglage est conçue pour soumettre la vitesse de rotation de commande pilote (vv) à une variation à partir de la mise en contact du produit à laminer (3) avec le cylindre de travail entraîné (2) au moyen d'une fonction de commande pilote et pour déterminer au préalable la fonction de commande pilote au moins en prenant en compte une force de laminage escomptée et/ou un couple de laminage escompté et/ou une vitesse d'entrée (v1) du produit à laminer (3).
  10. Laminoir (1) selon la revendication 8 ou 9, caractérisé en ce que l'électronique de commande et/ou de réglage est conçue pour prédéfinir la vitesse de rotation de commande pilote (vv) d'une manière telle, qu'à partir de la mise en contact du produit à laminer (3) avec le cylindre de travail entraîné (2) jusqu'à ce que l'on ait atteint la vitesse de rotation de consigne stationnaire (v0), l'intégrale de temps entre la vitesse de rotation de commande pilote (vv) et la vitesse de rotation de consigne stationnaire (v0) fournit une surface (Fv) qui décrit une longueur de compensation prédéfinissable qui correspond à la perturbation attendue du débit massique à l'entrée de l'emprise au début du laminage.
  11. Laminoir (1) selon l'une quelconque des revendications 8 à 10, caractérisé en ce que l'électronique de commande et/ou de réglage est conçue pour prédéfinir la vitesse de rotation de commande pilote d'une manière telle que l'allure monotone de la vitesse de rotation de commande pilote (vv) s'étend du point de vue temporel au sein d'un laps de temps de remplissage de l'emprise, qui commence avec la mise en contact du produit à laminer (3) avec le cylindre de travail entraîné (2) et qui se termine une fois que la vitesse de rotation de consigne stationnaire (v0) a été atteinte.
  12. Laminoir (1) selon l'une quelconque des revendications 8 à 10, caractérisé par une unité de mesure disposée à l'entrée de la cage de laminoir, reliée à l'unité de commande et/ou de réglage, destinée à mesurer une vitesse du produit à laminer (3) à l'entrée de la cage de laminoir ; dans lequel l'unité de commande et/ou de réglage est conçue pour prendre en compte la vitesse mesurée du produit à laminer lors de la variation de la vitesse de rotation de commande pilote (vv) à partir de la mise en contact du produit à laminer (3) avec le cylindre de travail entraîné (2).
  13. Laminoir (1) selon l'une quelconque des revendications 8 à 12, caractérisé en ce que l'électronique de commande et/ou de réglage est conçue pour prendre en compte, lors de la variation de la vitesse de rotation de commande pilote (vv) à partir de la mise en contact du produit à laminer (3) avec le cylindre de travail entraîné (2), une consommation mesurée de courant par des entraînements d'une machine de coulée montée en amont par rapport au laminoir (1).
