Definitions
- the invention relates to a rolling stand for rolling a rolling stock and a method for operating the rolling stand.
- the invention relates to measuring rolling forces in a rolling stand.
- the international patent application WO 2007/147766 A1 discloses a device and a method for measuring the rolling force in a rolling stand using an ultrasonic transmitter-receiver arrangement. With this arrangement, a change in length in a post of a roll stand stand is measured due to an applied rolling force and this measured change in length is then converted into the desired rolling force.
- the Chinese patent application CN 101695717 A discloses a sensor for measuring rolling force, the sensor being mounted on the outside of a stand post of the rolling stand stand and there the changes in length of the stand post under load, i.e. H. measures the deformation of a coil when the rolling force is applied and then converts the measured change in length into the desired rolling force.
- the rolling force is used for a variety of controls in the operation of the rolling stand and it is therefore desirable to be able to measure the rolling force precisely even with high dynamics.
- the measuring sensors are attached to the outside of the roll stand stands and are therefore subject to the harsh conditions in the environment of a roll stand, such as. B. dirt and dust etc. delivered without protection. This also results in the risk of a certain degree of inaccuracy in the measurement results.
- the invention is based on the object of providing an alternative rolling stand for rolling a rolled stock and an alternative method for operating the rolling stand, which enable a more precise measurement of the rolling force.
- the roll stand according to the invention is characterized in that at least one hole is made in at least one stand post of at least one of the roll stand stands; that the measuring sensor is inserted into the bore and is designed to detect a deformation of the bore when the rolling force is exerted and to generate a measurement signal such that it represents the detected deformation of the bore.
- the deformation of the bore recorded by the measuring sensors originally represents a post force in the respective roll stand stand.
- these post forces are directly proportional to the rolling force applied to the rolls.
- the post forces are converted into the actual rolling force using an evaluation device.
- Each roll stand has two roll stand stands; one on the drive side and one on the operating side.
- Each mill stand typically has two stand posts.
- the measuring sensor is advantageously protected in particular against dirt in the surroundings of the rolling stand and against corrosion, so that its measurement signal is not distorted. Rather, the measurement signal from the sensor determined in this way according to the invention provides a reliable basis for calculating the desired rolling force by the evaluation device.
- the measuring sensor is inserted into the bore under a preload.
- the preload of the measuring sensors must be so great that the measuring sensors still rest in the bores even at maximum rolling force.
- the preload then defines an operating point for the sensor.
- a deformation of the bore can then be measured in the form of a change in the preload around the said operating point.
- the change in the preload compared to the operating point can be determined in the form of a change in the force acting on it in the bore or a change in the mechanical tension acting on it in the bore.
- the change in its preload can also be determined in the form of a change in a compression path by which the sensor is compressed in the bore compared to its relaxed state or compared to its compression in the operating point.
- Piezoelectric sensors or strain gauges are suitable as measuring sensors for installation in the bore under pretension.
- measuring sensors can also be inserted into the bore without preload.
- Suitable for this purpose are, for example, inductive displacement sensors that detect a deformation of the hole caused by rolling force through a change in the electrical voltage induced in them, or laser-based displacement sensors that are designed to detect the deformation of the hole under loading by the rolling force by evaluating, for example, transit time differences in the light signals they emit.
- drive side means the side of a roll stand on which the drives for the rolls of the roll stand are arranged.
- operating side is opposite the drive side in the axial direction of the rollers and is intended for operators, e.g. B. freely accessible for changing rollers.
- Providing a plurality of measuring sensors in a bore offers the advantage that a redundant measurement can be carried out, which also increases the accuracy of the calculated rolling force.
- the majority of sensors inserted into the bore can be based on the same or a different physical principle.
- the installation of measuring sensors that are based on a different physical principle would be a further measure to increase measurement accuracy.
- measuring the deformation of the bore in the stand posts of the roll stand stands on the operating and drive sides of the roll stand and/or on the inlet and outlet sides of one of the roll stand stands is possible at any height of the posts of the roll stand stand.
- placing the holes and the measuring sensor located therein at the level of the horizontal rolling line offers the advantage that the forces to be measured are not influenced by frictional forces between the components and the stand posts.
- the Holes should preferably be made perpendicular to the rolling line in an area of 200mm above to 200mm below the rolling line.
- the holes for the measuring sensors are each in a plane perpendicular to the rolling forces applied by the adjusting devices, i.e. H. are introduced into the posts of the roll stand stands in a horizontal plane, this offers the advantage that the deformation of the bores to be detected also acts at least essentially perpendicularly on the measuring sensors. This advantageously applies regardless of whether the bore is made in the stand posts of the roll stand stands in the rolling direction or transversely to the rolling direction or at any acute angle to the rolling direction.
- the horizontal alignment of the holes offers the advantage that the deformation of the holes does not act on the measuring sensor at an oblique angle, which advantageously makes coordinate transformation of the resulting measurement signals unnecessary.
- the post forces determined according to the invention can be used for strip thickness control.
- the post forces determined on the inlet side and the outlet side in the stand posts of a roll stand stand are first added up to the stand force of the roll stand stand. This is done separately for the roll stand stands on the drive side and the operating side.
- the drive-side and operating-side stand forces determined in this way become the rolling force of the Roll stand added up.
- This rolling force is then converted into the actual thickness for the rolling stock at the exit of the rolling stand.
- the actual thickness determined in this way is then output and preferably regulated as part of the strip thickness control to a predetermined target thickness for the rolling stock by issuing a suitably varied position control signal to the adjusting devices, again on the drive and operating sides, in particular the respective adjusting cylinders.
- an additional stand force measuring device can be provided in each of the two roll stand stands, for example below the chocks of the lower support roll of the roll stand, for directly measuring the stand forces in the two roll stand stands of the roll stand.
- the evaluation device in question is then designed to calculate the rolling force also taking into account the additionally measured stand forces.
- a position control device can be provided for controlling the position control signal output to the adjusting devices to the target position represented by the position control signal output by the strip thickness control device.
- Figure 1 shows the roll stand according to the invention and an associated roll stand stand in a single view with a first Example of the alignment of the bores for the measuring sensors;
- Figure 2 shows the roll stand and the individual roll stand stand analogous to Figure 1, but with a second exemplary embodiment for the alignment of the bores according to the invention
- Figure 3 shows a single roll stand stand with a first exemplary embodiment for strip thickness control
- Figure 4 shows the individual roll stand stand according to Figure 3 with an alternative strip thickness control.
- FIG 1 shows, in its right-hand illustration, the rolling stand 20 according to the invention for rolling a rolling stock.
- the roll stand 20 consists of a roll stand stand 3 on the drive side AS and a roll stand stand 3 on the operating side BS, the two roll stand stands being connected to one another via crossheads.
- the pins of both the support rolls 2 and the work rolls 1 are rotatably mounted in chocks.
- the chocks can be seen in the left illustration of Figure 1 and are designated there by the reference number 13.
- An adjusting device 4 is shown for applying a stand force via the chocks 13 and the support rolls 2 to the work rolls 1.
- the sum of the stand force of the drive-side roll stand stand and the stand force of the operating-side roll stand stand is the so-called rolling force of the roll stand.
- the holes 7 according to the invention can be seen, into each of which a measuring sensor 6 is inserted.
- the measuring sensors 6 are designed to each generate a measurement signal, which represents a deformation of the bores in the stand posts 3a, 3b of the respective roll stand stand 3 in accordance with the stand forces or rolling forces applied by the adjusting devices 4.
- the adjusting device 4 acts in the vertical direction.
- the bores are in a plane perpendicular to the acting rolling force, i.e. H. as in the exemplary embodiments shown in the figures are formed in a horizontal plane.
- the bores 7 are arranged lying in this horizontal plane and in the direction of the longitudinal axes of the rollers 1, 2, i.e. H. aligned transversely to the rolling direction; see illustration on the right. It can be seen that a measuring sensor 6 is arranged in bores in each of the two roll stands 3 and also in each of the respective stand posts 3a, 3b of one of the two roll stands; Overall, there are four measuring sensors 6 in the rolling stand shown in FIG. 1 for measuring the deformation of the bores into which they are each inserted.
- the measuring sensors 6 shown in Figure 1 are arranged in bores 7, which are each mounted at the same height, namely at the height of the roll gap spanned by the work rolls 1. This also applies to the special case shown in Figure 1, according to which the work rolls exceptionally do not create a roll gap; However, the bores 7 and the measuring sensors 6 are arranged here at the height within the roll stand stands at which the two work rolls 1 each touch each other.
- the left figure shows an individual roll stand stand 3; it is constructed analogously for the drive side AS and for the operating side BS.
- Figure 2 differs from Figure 1 only in that the bores 7 for the measuring sensors 6 are aligned here in the rolling direction. 2 for the alignment of the bores 7, it can also be seen that these bores lie in a horizontal plane which is arranged perpendicular to the rolling force acting and that the measuring sensors 6 are arranged at the height within the roll stand stands, on which the two work rolls 1 touch each other.
- Figure 3 shows a first exemplary embodiment of the strip thickness control according to the invention for regulating the actual thickness h AC T of the rolled stock to a predetermined target thickness, designated in Figure 3 with the reference symbol h RE F.
- the strip thickness control according to the invention provides that the post forces F Pf are measured with the preferably four measuring sensors 6 according to the invention in their associated bores on the inlet side E and the outlet side A of the roller stands 3 on the drive and operating sides AS, BS (the latter not shown). . Subsequently, the actual rolling force FWACT is calculated as the sum of these four measured post forces F Pf : F PfA s, F PfB s using the evaluation device 8.
- the post forces F Pf can only be measured in two of the four posts, these two post forces are added up and the sum is multiplied by 2 in order to at least approximately calculate the actual rolling force.
- the actual rolling force FWACT then becomes the actual thickness h - with the help of the conversion device 9, taking into account the actual cylinder positions S AC TAS, S AC TBS in the adjusting devices 4 in the two roll stand stands 3 on the drive side AS and the operating side BS AC T of the rolling stock at the exit of the rolling stand is calculated as follows:
- the current actual strip thickness h AC T in the roll gap is calculated by taking the sum of the calibration positions s oAS , s oB s the sum of the cylinder positions S AC TAS, S AC TBS of the adjusting devices on the drive side AS and the operating side BS and the elongation of the framework 9ACT(FWACT) is subtracted.
- the elongation of the stand is a function of the rolling force and is determined by inserting the rolling force into a stand model.
- SOAS SOBS (calibration) position of the adjusting device when calibrating with a calibration rolling force on the drive and operating side
- the actual strip thickness control 10 then provides that the said target thickness h RE F is continuously compared with the actual thickness h A cT of the rolling stock, calculated in the said manner, in order to use the difference between the target thickness and the actual thickness of the rolling stock as a control deviation for the thickness of the rolled stock. On the basis of this control deviation, the strip thickness control device 10 then determines suitable position control signals SREFAS, SREFBS for the adjusting devices 4 of the roller stands 3 on the drive and operating sides.
- FIG. 4 shows a second exemplary embodiment of the strip thickness control shown in FIG. 3.
- the only difference to the strip thickness control shown in FIG. 3 is that in at least one of the roll stand stands, preferably both in the drive-side roll stand stand and in the operating-side roll stand stand, an additional stand force measuring device 5 is provided, for example below the chock 13 of the lower support roll 2.
- the evaluation device 8, which is already required according to FIG. 3, is then further designed to calculate the actual rolling force FWACT more precisely, preferably on the drive and operating sides, taking into account the stand forces FstanderAS, FstanderBS measured by the force measuring devices 5.
- the desired thickness control for the rolling stock at the exit of the rolling stand is thereby further refined or made more precise.
- the method for operating the rolling stand 10 has the following steps: applying a rolling force via the chocks to the work rolls of the rolling stand for rolling the rolling stock, generating a measurement signal, and evaluating the measurement signal with regard to the actual rolling force FWACT exerted on the work rolls.
- at least one hole 7 is made in at least one stand post of the at least one roll stand stand 3 and a deformation of the hole 7 is detected when the rolling force is exerted using the measuring sensor.
- the measurement signal represents the detected deformation of the bore 7.
- the measuring sensor 6 can be a piezoelectronic sensor or a strain gauge, which is preferably inserted into the bore with a preload.
- the deformation of the bore 7 is then recorded in the form of a change in the preload with which the measuring sensor is inserted into the bore.
- the change in the preload is detected in the form of a change in the force or tension acting on the sensor in the bore 7 or in the form of a change in a compression path by which the sensor 6 in the bore 7 compared to its relaxed state or compared to compression at an operating point of the sensor is compressed.
- the measuring sensor 6 can be designed as a laser-based displacement sensor and can be inserted into the bore 7 without preload.
- the deformation of the hole is then recorded in the form of measured path/time differences of light signals that are emitted by the laser-based displacement sensor in the hole.
- the measuring sensor 6 can be designed as an inductive displacement sensor and can be inserted into the bore (7) without preload. The deformation of the bore is then recorded in the form of electrical voltages induced in the inductive displacement sensor caused by the deformation.
- the actual thickness h ACT of the rolling stock is controlled to a predetermined target thickness h RE F by issuing a suitably varied position control signal to the adjusting devices, in particular the adjusting cylinders.
- the actual thickness h ACT of the rolling stock is calculated from the actual rolling force F WA CT determined by the evaluation device 8.
- the positions of the adjusting devices are preferably regulated to the target position represented by the position control signal SREF.
- strip thickness control can be carried out separately for the roll stand stand 3 on the operating side and for the roll stand stand 3 on the drive side. It is then recommended that the two strip thickness controls 9 be synchronized to the same target thickness for the rolling stock.
- SACTAS, SACTBS Actual position of the adjusting device, in particular of its adjusting cylinders on the drive or operating side
