Description

  The present invention relates to a correction method for setting a gap between rolls of a taper steel plate whose thickness changes in a taper shape in the longitudinal direction.

  When a plate-like rolled material rolled by a rolling mill is corrected with a roller leveler, the operator manually implements a method for setting a gap between leveling rolls from a target plate thickness of a table in a rolling schedule. It is common. Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to improve the accuracy of correction, the thickness of the rolled material before entering the leveler is detected by the detection means, and the signal is input to the leveling roll control means, and the leveler There is a method in which the leveling roll working means is controlled to set the gap between the leveling rolls to an appropriate value according to the plate thickness.

By the way, from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the structure, reducing the material cost, omitting the welding process, and the like, a tapered steel plate rolled so that the plate thickness changes in a taper shape in the longitudinal direction is used.
However, in the method of Patent Document 1 described above, when a tapered steel plate is targeted, it is difficult to perform good correction because an appropriate gap between rolls varies depending on the plate thickness.
Therefore, when correcting a tapered steel sheet rolled so that the sheet thickness continuously changes in the longitudinal direction using a roller leveler, based on the sheet thickness distribution information in the longitudinal direction of the steel sheet obtained on the delivery side of the rolling mill. A correction method for determining a plate thickness of the tapered steel plate passing through the inlet side position and the outlet side position of the roller leveler and continuously controlling the gap between the rollers on the inlet side and the outlet side of the roller leveler according to the plate thickness. This is proposed in Patent Document 2.

JP-A 61-249626 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-178455

According to the method proposed in Patent Document 2, when the length of the taper portion is longer than the distance between the entry side roll and the exit side roll of the roller leveler, depending on the plate thickness at each position in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate A predetermined gap between rolls is obtained, and a uniform straightening effect can be obtained over the entire length of the steel sheet.
However, when the length of the taper portion is shorter than the distance between the entry roll and the exit roll of the roller leveler, the gap between rolls linearly changes according to the distance from the entry roll. Since the direction of change in thickness changes between the entry side roll and the exit side roll, an appropriate gap between the rolls is obtained when passing through the entry side roll and the exit side roll, but an appropriate gap between rolls is obtained in the middle roll. It is difficult to obtain a uniform correction effect over the entire length of the steel sheet.

  The present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and even in the case where the length of the taper portion is shorter than the distance between the entrance side roll and the exit side roll of the roller leveler, An object is to provide a method in which a predetermined gap between rolls is obtained according to the plate thickness at each position, and a uniform correction effect can be obtained over the entire length of the steel plate.

In order to achieve the purpose of the straightening method of the taper steel sheet in which the plate thickness is changed in a taper shape in the longitudinal direction of the present invention, when correcting the taper steel plate in which the plate thickness is continuously changed in the longitudinal direction using a roller leveler. Calculating an appropriate gap between the rolls on the entry side and the exit side corresponding to the thickness of the thickest portion, and correcting the overall length by setting the gap between the rolls on the entry side and the exit side to the calculated value. To do.
And at the time of the said correction | amendment, it is preferable to arrange | position the upper roll lower end of an outgoing side above a lower roll upper end, and to make the up-down direction distance of an upper roll lower end and a lower roll upper end equal to the plate | board thickness of the thickest part.

  In the present invention, the relationship between the plate thickness of each part and the gap between rolls and the straightening effect is investigated, and the thinnest part is corrected with the appropriate gap between the rolls on the entry and exit sides corresponding to the plate thickness of the thickest part. However, based on the knowledge that the straightening effect does not deteriorate significantly, the gap between the entrance and exit rolls is set based on the thickness of the thickest part, so the entrance and exit rolls of the roller leveler Even when the length of the tapered portion is shorter than the distance between the rolls, a uniform correction effect can be obtained over the entire length of the steel plate.

The figure which shows the structure of the roller leveler used for the investigation examination of this invention Insertion when straightening steel with a roller leveler of 1.1 mm (corresponding to thin plate thickness), 1.3 mm (corresponding to average plate thickness) and 1.5 mm (corresponding to thick plate thickness) The graph which shows the analysis result of the relationship between the side intermesh amount and the L warpage amount Thin plate thickness (plate thickness 1.1 mm), average plate thickness (plate thickness) with appropriate intermesh amount based on thin plate thickness, proper intermesh amount based on average plate thickness, and proper intermesh amount based on thick plate thickness Graph showing the analysis result of L warpage when straightening a steel plate with a thickness of 1.3 mm) and a thick part thickness (plate thickness of 1.5 mm)

The present inventors have investigated and studied various straightening methods that can obtain a uniform straightening effect over the entire length of the steel plate even when the length of the taper portion is shorter than the distance between the entry side roll and the exit side roll of the roller leveler.
As a result, by setting the gap between the entrance and exit rolls based on the thickness of the thickest part as a reference, and correcting the overall length, the taper portion of the roller leveler can be compared with the distance between the entrance roll and the exit roll. It has been found that good correction can be performed over the entire length of the steel sheet even when the length is short.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the investigation results of the relationship between the plate thickness of each portion, the gap between rolls, and the correction effect.
As an example, in the case of correcting a tapered steel plate having a thickness of 1.1 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm, a method for setting a gap between rolls was examined by numerical analysis using a leveler analysis model.
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a roller leveler used for investigation and investigation of the present invention. The upper nine rolls and the lower ten rolls are configured so that the upper nine rolls can be integrally rolled down in an inclined manner.

When using this roller leveler to straighten plain steel with a thickness of 1.1 mm (corresponding to the thickness of the thin part), 1.3 mm (corresponding to the average thickness) and 1.5 mm (corresponding to the thickness of the thick part) FIG. 2 shows an analysis result of the relationship between the amount of incoming mesh and the amount of warpage in the longitudinal direction per 1500 mm (L warpage amount). In addition, the amount of intermesh represents the gap between rolls, and is defined by the vertical distance between the lower end of the upper roll and the upper end of the lower roll as shown in FIG. 1, and the lower end of the upper roll is below the upper end of the lower roll. Is positive and the lower end of the upper roll is above the upper end of the lower roll. In addition, the concept of setting the intermesh amount is such that the outgoing intermesh amount is open by the plate thickness, that is, the plate thickness x (-1), so that plastic deformation does not occur in the outgoing roll, and the warpage amount is reduced. Since it is common to set the amount of the side mesh, the amount of the exit side mesh is set to plate thickness × (−1).
At this time, the appropriate amount of entry mesh was about 0.6 mm in all cases of plate thickness 1.1 mm, 1.3 mm and 1.5 mm.

  Next, the calculated appropriate intermesh amount based on the thickness of the thin-walled portion (incoming side: 0.6 mm, outgoing side: -1.1 mm), and the appropriate intermesh amount based on the average thickness (incoming side: 0.6 mm, outgoing side: -1) .3mm) and an appropriate intermesh amount on the basis of the thickness of the thick part (0.6mm on the input side, -1.5mm on the output side), the equivalent thickness of the thin part (thickness 1.1mm), the average equivalent thickness (thickness) FIG. 3 shows an analysis result of the amount of L warpage when straightening a steel plate having a thickness of 1.3 mm) and a thick part equivalent thickness (plate thickness of 1.5 mm). When correction is performed with an appropriate intermesh amount based on the thin-wall portion thickness standard or the average plate-thickness standard, the L warp amount increases in the thick-wall equivalent plate thickness (plate thickness of 1.5 mm). This is because plastic deformation occurs at the exit roll. On the other hand, in the case of correcting with an appropriate intermesh amount based on the thick part thickness, the L warpage amount is small at any plate thickness. In other words, it has been found that, when the taper steel sheet is corrected, if the thickness is corrected with an appropriate intermesh amount based on the thickness of the thick part, a good correction can be made over the entire length of the steel sheet.

Using the roller leveler shown in FIG. 1, it was repeatedly rolled into a shape with a thin part plate thickness of 1.1 mm, a thick part plate thickness of 1.5 mm, a thin part and a thick part length of 100 mm, a taper part length of 200 mm, and a plate width of 250 mm. Table 1 shows the results of correcting the coiled plain steel plate with the appropriate intermesh amount based on the thin part thickness standard, the average thickness standard, and the thick part thickness standard. Each proper intermesh amount is determined according to the method described in the above-mentioned “Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention”. The standard entrance side was 0.6 mm, the exit side was -1.3 mm, and the thick part plate thickness standard entrance side was 0.6 mm and exit side was -1.5 mm.
In the table, as a comparative example, the result corrected by the method according to Patent Document 2 is also shown.

Note that the L warp amount before correction was 30 mm in all cases. In the case of correction with the appropriate intermesh amount based on the thin wall thickness standard and the average thickness standard, the L warpage amounts were 205 mm and 90 mm, respectively, which were larger than before the correction, but according to the method of the present invention, the thick wall thickness standard When the amount was corrected with the appropriate intermesh amount, the L warpage amount was 5 mm, which was smaller than before correction, and a uniform correction effect was obtained over the entire length of the steel sheet.
In addition, as a comparative example, when corrected by the method according to Patent Document 2, the length of the taper portion is as short as 200 mm compared to the distance 400 mm between the entrance side roll and the exit side roll of the roller leveler, which is appropriate for the intermediate roll. Since the gap between rolls could not be obtained, the L warpage amount was 40 mm, which was larger than before correction.
