Description

  The present invention relates to a rolling mill, and more particularly to a rolling apparatus that opens and closes a work roll and a control method thereof.

  Conventionally, in a cold rolling mill, particularly in a continuous rolling mill in which a plurality of rolling mills called a tandem rolling mill are continuous, the material to be rolled is welded continuously at the entry side of the continuous rolling mill, and the material to be rolled (coil) is continuously formed. It is rolling. Here, since the rolled product has different steel types, plate thicknesses, plate widths, and the like for each coil, when the weld passes through the rolling mill, the rolling schedule is changed.

However, when the coil width, plate thickness, material, etc. of the coil currently rolled and the coil to be rolled next are significantly different, the material to be rolled may be broken at the welded portion. A method is employed in which the machine is temporarily stopped, the work roll is released from the coil, the welded portion of the coil is passed, and then the rolling operation is started again.
In addition, there exist the following patent documents 1 and 2 as literature well-known invention which concerns on this application.

JP 2004-34039 A JP 58-168410 A

  By the way, in the above-mentioned case, a stop mark of the work roll is generated in the material to be rolled at the place where the rolling mill is stopped, and the operation is resumed because the work roll is closed by passing the welded portion and the rolling operation is resumed. Thus, the material until the desired plate thickness is obtained becomes off-gauge and the yield decreases. In addition, the rolling mill is stopped, the work roll is released, the material to be rolled is sent out until the welded portion (welding point) passes, the work roll is closed again, and the operation is restarted, so that the operation efficiency is also lowered. .

For the work roll replacement work, the rolling mill must be stopped, so a stop mark is generated on the material to be rolled, and the yield of the product is reduced. At the same time, the work roll is stopped from the material to be rolled after the rolling mill is stopped. Since the operation cannot be performed until the work roll is opened, the work roll is replaced, and the work roll is closed to the material to be rolled, the rolling operation efficiency is lowered.
Thus, if the work roll can be released from the material to be rolled and brought into contact with the material to be rolled while continuing the rolling operation, it is not necessary to stop the rolling mill, and the yield and production efficiency are improved. In addition, the operability of the continuous rolling mill can be remarkably improved, such as changing work rolls (replacement) between runs and changing the number of stands used for rolling.

However, it is not easy to open and contact the work roll during the rolling operation, and various studies have been made so far, but there are few techniques that can be actually applied to the operation site.
The problem with opening and closing the work roll during rolling is that the rolling state becomes unstable during the process of opening and closing the work roll, the material to be rolled breaks, or the work roll is covered. For example, the work roll slips with the material to be rolled when released from and brought into contact with the rolled material, and the material to be rolled and the work roll are damaged.

Deforms when stress is applied to the metal strip such as the material to be rolled, but after applying the stress, the temporary deformation that returns to the original state is an elastic deformation, and after applying the stress, it remains permanently deformed. Such deformation is called plastic deformation. And the stress which generate | occur | produces when changing from an elastic deformation to a plastic deformation is called a yield point.
In the rolling state, the material to be rolled is plastically deformed by the tension before and after the work roll and the load applied by the work roll, and the thickness on the exit side of the rolling mill is thinner than the thickness on the entrance side of the rolling mill. It has become. The difference in sheet thickness between the entrance and exit side of the rolling mill is called the reduction amount.

When the work roll load is reduced, the reduction amount decreases, but when the load becomes smaller than the yield point, the reduction amount becomes zero or extremely small when the plastic deformation is changed to the elastic deformation. At this time, the speed of the material to be rolled on the entry side of the rolling mill is increased, the speed of the material to be rolled on the exit side of the rolling mill is decreased, and the tension on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill are rapidly increased.
Further, when the load of the work roll is increased from the state of elastic deformation, the yield point is exceeded at a certain point, and the state is shifted to the plastic deformation state.

At this time, since the amount of reduction increases rapidly, the speed of the material to be rolled on the rolling mill entry side decreases, and the speed of the material to be rolled on the rolling mill exit side increases, so that the tension on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill increases. Decreases rapidly.
When the tension of the material to be rolled fluctuates abruptly at a normal rolling speed, rolling becomes unstable, a shape defect called squeezing occurs, or the tension at the end of the plate rises. It breaks.
Also, when the work roll is separated from the material to be rolled, the speed of the work roll changes because the torque of the motor that drives the work roll fluctuates, and the speed of the material to be rolled changes, The work roll slips. On the other hand, when the work roll is brought into contact with the material to be rolled, the work roll and the material to be rolled slip due to a difference in speed between the work roll and the material to be rolled.

That is, when the work roll is opened and closed during running (while the material to be rolled is running), a difference occurs between the speed of the work roll and the material to be rolled, so that slip and scratches occur.
In addition, when the work roll is opened and closed, the material to be rolled changes rapidly from plastic deformation to elastic deformation, or from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, so the tension greatly fluctuates or the shape deteriorates. Causes drawing and plate breakage.

Therefore, a person skilled in the art is demanding a method and an apparatus that can open and close the work roll without minimizing the amount of variation in tension and causing slippage between the material to be rolled and the work roll.
Therefore, it is a technical problem that the work roll can be opened and closed without causing damage to the rolled material and the work roll.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a single-stand rolling apparatus S of a simple configuration example of a running roll opening and closing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

<< Overview of Rolling Apparatus S >>
The rolling device S of the embodiment according to the present invention is capable of being covered during low-speed operation of 60 mpm (meters / minute) or less when the welded portion of the material to be rolled 1 passes through the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 responsible for rolling. The work rolls Rs1, Rs2 are separated from the rolled material 1 according to a predetermined procedure, and it is determined whether the rolled material 1 has reached the elastically deformed state from the plastically deformed state, and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 and the rolled material 1 is in a non-contact state. Thereafter, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 are brought into contact with the material to be rolled 1 while the material to be rolled 1 is operating at a low speed of 60 mpm or less, and it is determined whether the material 1 has been changed from an elastically deformed state to a plastically deformed state. The upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are opened and closed during the rolling operation by making a transition to the rolling state step by step according to a predetermined procedure.

  In this way, the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 and the material to be rolled 1 are determined at a low speed of 60 mpm or less to determine whether the material to be rolled 1 is in a plastically deformed state or an elastically deformed state, and in accordance with a predetermined procedure, In particular, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are separated from the material to be rolled 1, and the material to be rolled 1 and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are damaged in order to contact the material to be rolled 1. The upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 can be opened from the material to be rolled 1 and can be closed to the material to be rolled 1.

Moreover, the slip between the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 and the material 1 to be rolled can be prevented, and the rolling state can be more stably changed.
Specifically, by changing the acceleration / deceleration rate of the line, the tension of the material 1 to be rolled, and the rolling load stepwise so that the material 1 to be rolled smoothly moves to a low speed state of 60 mpm or less. The rolled material 1 can smoothly transition from the plastically deformed state to the elastically deformed state, and the rolled material 1 can smoothly transition from the elastically deformed state to the plastically deformed state.
The rolling state of the elastic material and plastic deformation of the material 1 to be rolled depends on the actual value of the tensile value on the entry side or the exit side of the rolling mill 3 or the result of the speed ratio of the material 1 to be rolled on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill. Can be detected.

Hereinafter, the rolling apparatus S will be described in detail.
<< Overall Configuration of Rolling Apparatus S >>
The rolling device S feeds the rolled material 1 toward the rolling mill 3 on the entry side of the rolled material 1 of the rolling mill 3 that performs rolling on the rolled material 1 and controls the speed of the entry side speed control. A roll 2 is installed, and a tension reel 4 for winding the rolled material 1 as a coil 5 is installed on the exit side of the rolled material 1 of the rolling mill 3.
The entry side speed control roll 2 may be any mechanism that can control the speed of the material 1 to be rolled, such as a pinch roll that sandwiches the material 1 to be rolled, or an unwinding reel with a speed control function. Alternatively, a form in which the take-up reel has a speed control function may be used.

On the entry side of the material to be rolled 1 of the rolling mill 3, a rolling mill entry side tension detector 9 that detects the tension of the material to be rolled 1 on the entry side of the rolling mill 3, and a material to be rolled on the entry side of the rolling mill 3. A rolling mill entry side speed detector 6 that detects the speed of 1 is installed.
Further, on the exit side of the material to be rolled 1 of the rolling mill 3, a rolling mill exit side tension detector 10 that detects the tension of the material to be rolled 1 on the exit side of the rolling mill 3, and an exit side of the rolling material 3. A rolling mill exit side speed detector 7 for detecting the speed of the rolled material 1 is installed.

The rolling mill entry side / exit side speed detectors 6 and 7 are, for example, devices that apply a laser beam slightly obliquely to the material 1 to be rolled and read the speed change from a change in wavelength with the incident light of the reflected light. Is used.
The rolling mill entry side / exit side tension detectors 9 and 10 apply, for example, rolls 9r and 10r to the material 1 to be rolled, and the tension of the material 1 to be rolled from the load applied from the material 1 to the rolls 9r and 10r. A device or the like for reading is used. Of course, the rolling mill entry / exit speed detectors 6 and 7 and the rolling mill entry / exit tension detectors 9 and 10 are not limited to the above configuration.

The rolling mill 3 is provided with an upper roll position control device 51 and a lower roll position control device 52 independently from each other in the vertical direction, and the upper work roll Rs1 is provided by the upper roll position control device 51 and the lower roll position control device 52. The height position of the lower work roll Rs2 can be operated independently.
The upper roll position control device 51 and the lower roll position control device 52 are independently controlled by the control command of the roll position command calculation device 61, respectively.

  In addition, a load detector 8 for detecting a load applied to the upper part of the lower work roll Rs2 or the lower part of the upper work roll Rs1 is provided, and the material to be rolled by the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 by the load detector 8. The rolling load applied to 1 is measured.

  The tension / speed command calculating device 62 outputs the speed command of the electric motor 20 to the speed control device 40 of the entry-side speed control roll 2 that feeds out the material 1 to be rolled, and the motor 21 to the speed control device 41 of the rolling mill 3. Outputs speed command. Each speed control device 40, 41 detects the rotational speed of each electric motor 20, 21 by the speed detector 30, 31 of each electric motor 20, 21, and each electric motor 20, 21 is a tension / speed command calculation device 62. Control to rotate at the speed command calculated in.

  The current command calculation device 63 includes a tension target value of the tension reel 4 that applies tension to the material 1 to be rolled on the exit side of the rolling mill 3, and the diameter, tension, and tension of the coil 5 around which the rolled material 1 is wound. A current command of the tension reel drive motor 22 for obtaining a desired tension is calculated from the speed command of the speed command calculation device 62. Then, the current control device 42 to which the current command calculated by the current command calculation device 63 is input is tension reel drive so that the current of the tension reel drive motor 22 is equal to the current command calculated by the current command calculation device 63. The electric motor 22 is controlled.

In a normal rolling state, the tension of the material to be rolled 1 on the entry side of the rolling mill 3 is controlled by increasing or decreasing the speed of the material to be rolled 1 by the entry side speed control roll 2. After being rolled to a desired thickness by 3, it is wound on a tension reel 4.
The running roll opening / closing command computing device 60 is a computing device that controls the rolling device S in an integrated manner, and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 of running (rolled material 1 is running) described later. Control of opening and closing from the material 1 to be rolled is performed in an integrated manner.

That is, the running roll opening / closing command calculating device 60 outputs a roll closing command to a roll position command calculating device 61 that controls the upper / lower roll position control devices 51, 52, and also a tension / speed command calculating device. The speed command of the material 1 to be rolled to the speed control devices 40 and 41 for 62, the tension command of the material 1 to be rolled of the current command calculation device 63 on the exit side, and the like are output.
Here, the running roll opening / closing command computing device 60, the roll position command computing device 61, the tension / speed command computing device 62, and the current command computing device 63 are, for example, control software in a PLC (programmable logic controller). Is embodied by. Further, the speed control devices 40 and 41, the current control device 42, and the upper / lower roll position control devices 51 and 52 are embodied by control software, electronic circuits, or the like in a PLC, for example.

<Opening operation of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 from the material to be rolled 1>
Next, the operation of releasing the work rolls Rs1, Rs2 from the material to be rolled 1 during running (while the material to be rolled 1 is running) will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 2 (a) shows the up / down direction by the electric motor 21 of the rolling mill 3 during the opening operation of the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 from the rolled material 1 during running (while the rolled material 1 is running). It is a figure which shows the rolling mill speed which is the speed | rate of work roll Rs1, Rs2, FIG.2 (b) is a rolling load with respect to the to-be-rolled material 1 of a run (while the to-be-rolled material 1 is running), upper and lower work rolls. It is a figure which shows the vendor pressure of Rs1, Rs2, and FIG.2 (c) shows the tension | tensile_strength performance of the rolling material 1 of the entrance side of the rolling mill 3 of a running (running | working material 1 is running), and the exit side. FIG. 2 (d) is a diagram showing the speed results of the material 1 on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 during the run (while the material 1 is traveling).
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow for releasing the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 from the material to be rolled 1 during running (during the material to be rolled 1).

When opening the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 during the run (during traveling of the material to be rolled 1), first, in S101 of FIG. 3, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 is decelerated (see (1) in FIG. 2A), and in S102 in FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the mill speed is in a low speed region (30 to 50 mpm).
When the mill speed is not in the low speed region (30 to 50 mpm) (No in S102 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to S101 in FIG. 3, and the work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 of the rolling mill (mill) are decelerated.
On the other hand, when the mill speed reaches the low speed region (30 to 50 mpm) (Yes in S102 in FIG. 3), the deceleration rate of the rolling mill 3 is changed in S103a in FIG. 3 ((2) in FIG. 2 (a). (Refer to Fig.1), and slowly decelerate to an extremely low speed state (less than 30 mpm).

In this embodiment, in order to minimize the operational off-gauge, the vehicle is decelerated to an extremely low speed, but there is no problem as long as the speed is lower than 60 mpm. Further, the method of changing the deceleration rate may be one step, or may be multi-step or stepless depending on the speed and time, and the speed of the rolling mill 3 and the material 1 to be rolled on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 may be used. Any speed command may be used as long as the speed and tension are stable and the transition to an extremely low speed state is possible.
When the mill speed is low, if the sheet thickness of the material 1 to be rolled is kept constant, the load applied to the material 1 may increase, so in S103b of FIG. The lower roll position control device 51 is operated so that the constant or load does not exceed a certain value (see (3) in FIG. 2B).

In S104 of FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the mill speed (speed of the rolling mill 3) has become an extremely low speed state. When the mill speed (speed of the rolling mill 3) does not become an extremely low speed state (No in S104 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to S103a and S103b in FIG.
When the mill speed (speed of the rolling mill 3) becomes extremely low (Yes in S104 of FIG. 3), the mill speed (speed of the rolling mill 3) is controlled to be constant in S105 of FIG. In S106a, the load target value is changed or the lower roll position control device is operated to operate the lower roll position downward to reduce the rolling load applied to the material 1 (see (4) in FIG. 2B). ). At the same time, the vendor pressures of the upper work roll Rs1 and the lower work roll Rs2 are also reduced in S106b of FIG. 3 (see (5a) of FIG. 2B).

Further, in S106c of FIG. 3, the tension target value is changed so that the tension on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 is the same (see (5b) in FIG. 2C).
Note that the vendor pressure of the upper work roll Rs1 and the lower work roll Rs2 is the bending of the upper work roll Rs1 and the lower work roll Rs2 (the center part is deformed outward because the material 1 is sandwiched in the center part). In order to suppress the bending of the both end portions being deformed inward, the pressure is applied outwardly to both end portions of the upper work roll Rs1 and the lower work roll Rs2.

  In S107 of FIG. 3, whether or not a large tension fluctuation has been detected in the material 1 to be rolled on the entry side or the exit side of the rolling mill 3 (see (6a) in FIG. 2C), or the entry side of the rolling mill 3 And whether the difference between the actual speeds on the delivery side is within a certain range (less than 1%) (or whether the speed ratio on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 is 1 or a value close to 1) ) (See (6b) in FIG. 2 (d)) or whether the rolling load on the material 1 to be rolled has reached the lower limit (see (6c) in FIG. 2 (b)).

  In S107 of FIG. 3, a large tension fluctuation is not detected in the material to be rolled 1 on the entry side or the exit side of the rolling mill 3, and within a certain range in which there is a difference in speed results between the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3. (Or less than 1%) (or the speed ratio on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 does not become a value close to 1) and the rolling load does not become the lower limit value (No in S107 in FIG. 3). The process proceeds to S106a, S106b, and S106c in FIG.

  On the other hand, in S107 of FIG. 3, a large tension fluctuation on the entry side or the exit side is detected, or the difference in speed performance between the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 is within a certain range (less than 1%) (or rolling If it is determined that the speed ratio between the entry side and the exit side of the machine 3 is a value close to 1), or the rolling load has reached the lower limit (Yes in S107 in FIG. 3), the material 1 to be rolled changes from plastic deformation to elastic deformation. In S108a of FIG. 3, the lower roll position control device 52 is operated to control the rolling load to the material 1 to be rolled constant (see (7a) in FIG. 2B). In step S108b, the bender pressures of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are adjusted so that the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 do not slip with the intermediate rolls Rc1 and Rc2 or the backup rolls Rb1 and Rb2, respectively. -Lower work roll R The weight is increased until the weights of s1 and Rs2 are balanced (see (7b) in FIG. 2B).

Subsequently, in S109 of FIG. 3, the vendor pressure results of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 rise above the balance pressure, and the tension results on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 are equal or constant. It is determined whether or not the value is within the range (see (8) in FIG. 2C).
In S109 of FIG. 3, the vendor pressure results of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 do not increase above the balance pressure, or the tension results of the material 1 to be rolled on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 are equal or different. If it is determined that the value is not within a certain range (No in S109 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to S108a and S108b in FIG.

On the other hand, the vendor pressure record of the work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 rises above the balance pressure, and the tension record of the material to be rolled 1 on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 is equal, or the difference is within a certain value range. 3 (Yes in S109 in FIG. 3), in S110a in FIG. 3, the lower roll position controller 52 is operated to move the lower work roll Rs2 downward and release it from the material 1 to be rolled (FIG. 3). 2 (b) (9)).
At the same time, when the rolling load decreases below a certain value in S110b of FIG. 3, the upper roll position control device 51 is operated to raise the position of the upper work roll Rs1 (see (9) of FIG. 2B). .

Subsequently, in S111 of FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the lower work roll Rs2 has reached a position equal to or greater than a predetermined value Xmm from the pass line position where the material 1 is conveyed. For example, when the plate thickness of the material 1 to be rolled is 3 mm, Xmm can be set to 2 mm. X should just be a value which the to-be-rolled material 1 and lower work roll Rs2 do not contact.
When it is determined that the lower work roll Rs2 does not reach a position equal to or greater than the predetermined value Xmm from the pass line position where the material 1 is conveyed (No in S111 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to S110a in FIG.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S111 in FIG. 3 that the lower work roll Rs2 has reached a position of a predetermined value Xmm or more from the pass line position where the material 1 is conveyed (Yes in S111 in FIG. 3), the process is finished. (Refer to (10) in FIG. 2B).
Further, in S112 of FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the position of the upper work roll Rs1 has reached a position equal to or greater than a predetermined value Xmm from the pass line position where the material to be rolled 1 is conveyed. In addition, X should just be a value which the to-be-rolled material 1 and the upper work roll Rs1 do not contact.

When it is determined that the position of the upper work roll Rs1 has not reached the position of X mm or more from the pass line (No in S112 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to S110b in FIG.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the position of the upper work roll Rs1 has reached a position of X mm or more from the pass line (Yes in S112 in FIG. 3), the process is finished (see (10) in FIG. 2B).
The above is the operation flow for releasing the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 from the material to be rolled 1 during the running (while the material to be rolled 1 is running) shown in FIG.

<< Operation when closing the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 to the material to be rolled 1 during running >>
Next, the operation of closing the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 to the material to be rolled 1 while the rolling device S is running (while the material to be rolled 1 is running) will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is an operation chart when the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 are closed to the rolled material 1 during running (while the rolled material 1 is running) in a low speed state where the rolled material 1 is 60 mpm or less. FIG. 4A shows the electric motor 21 of the rolling mill 3 during the closing operation of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 to the material to be rolled 1 during running (during the material to be rolled 1). It is a figure which shows the rolling mill speed which is the speed of upper / lower work roll Rs1, Rs2, and FIG.4 (b) is a rolling load with respect to the to-be-rolled material 1 of running (running to-be-rolled material 1), upper and lower FIG. 4 (c) is a diagram showing the tension results on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 during the run (during running of the material to be rolled 1), FIG.4 (d) is a figure which shows the speed | velocity result of the to-be-rolled material 1 of the entrance side of the rolling mill 3 between running | running | working (during the to-be-rolled material 1 driving | running | working).
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an operation flow when the upper work roll Rs1 and the lower work roll Rs2 are closed to the roll 1 while the roll 1 is running (running).

  When the upper work roll Rs1 and the lower work roll Rs2 are closed to the material to be rolled 1 during running (during the material to be rolled 1), first, the material to be rolled 1 shown in FIG. While traveling at a low speed of 60 mpm or less, the motor 21 starts the operation of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 of the mill (rolling machine 3), and the rolling mill speed (the rotation speed of the upper work roll Rs1, the lower work roll Rs2). However, when it is faster than the low-speed rolled material 1 of 60 mpm or less, the rolling mill 3 (upper work roll Rs1, lower work roll Rs2) is decelerated, and the peripheral speed of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 of the rolling mill 3 is reduced. The speed command to the electric motor 21 of the speed control device 41 is adjusted so that the speed of the material 1 to be rolled is the same (see (1) in FIG. 4A).

In S202 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the speed difference between the rolling mill 3 (upper work roll Rs1, lower work roll Rs2) and the material to be rolled 1 is zero or within a certain range.
When it is determined that the speed difference between the rolling mill 3 (upper work roll Rs1, lower work roll Rs2) and the material 1 to be rolled is zero or not within a certain range (No in S202 of FIG. 5), S201 of FIG. Migrate to

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the speed difference between the rolling mill 3 (upper work roll Rs1, lower work roll Rs2) and the material 1 to be rolled is zero or within a certain range (Yes in S202 in FIG. 5), S203a in FIG. , S203b, the running roll opening / closing command calculating device 60 shown in FIG. 1 outputs a roll closing command to the roll position command calculating device 61, and the roll position command calculating device 61 receives the upper roll position control device 51 and A command for the closing direction is output to the lower roll position control device 52, and the material 1 to be rolled is closed by the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 (see (2) in FIG. 4B).

In S204 of FIG. 5, the rolling load of the material 1 to be rolled is detected by the load detector 8 (see FIG. 1), and it is determined whether or not the rolling load has become a certain value or more.
When the rolling load is not equal to or greater than a certain value (No in S204 in FIG. 5), the process proceeds to S203a and S203b in FIG.
On the other hand, when the rolling load becomes a certain value or more (Yes in S204 in FIG. 5), in S205 in FIG. 5, the roll position command calculation device 61 (see FIG. 1) sets the lower roll so that the rolling load becomes constant. A position command is output to the position control device 52 to perform constant load control (see (3) in FIG. 4B).

Subsequently, in S206 of FIG. 5, the vendor pressure of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 is decreased from the balance pressure (see (4) of FIG. 4B).
In S207 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the reduction of the vendor pressure of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 from the balance pressure has been completed.
If it is determined in S207 of FIG. 5 that the decrease in the vendor pressure from the balance pressure of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 is not completed (No in S207 of FIG. 5), the process proceeds to S206 of FIG.

  On the other hand, when the reduction of the vendor pressure of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 from the balance pressure is completed (Yes in S207 in FIG. 5), in the step S208a in FIG. 1), the roll position command control device 61 outputs a closing command to the lower roll position control device 52, and the lower work roll Rs2 closes the material 1 to be rolled by the command of the lower roll position control device 52. The load on the rolled material 1 is increased (see (5) in FIG. 4 (b)), and at the same time, in S208b in FIG. 5, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 to minimize the shape change of the material 1 to be rolled. The vendor pressure is increased with the above load (see (6) of FIG. 4B). Further, in S208c of FIG. 5, the running roll opening / closing command calculation device 60 performs the tension command to the speed control devices 40, 41 on the entry side of the rolling mill 3 of the tension / speed command calculation device 62 and the exit side. The tension command to the current command calculation device 63 is changed to the rolling schedule set value (see (7) in FIG. 4C).

  At the stage of increasing the rolling load on the material 1 to be rolled, the material 1 to be rolled shifts from an elastically deformed state to a plastically deformed state. The transition of this state is that the actual tension value detected by the rolling mill entry side tension detector 9 or the rolling mill exit side tension detector 10 of the rolling mill 3 shown in FIG. 1 decreases, or A speed difference appears in the sheet speed results of the material 1 to be rolled detected by the rolling mill entry speed detector 6 on the entry side of the rolling mill 3 and the exit speed detector 7 on the exit side (or This can be detected from the fact that the speed ratio between the entry side and the exit side of the rolled material 1 is not 1.

In S209 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the rolling load has reached the target load and the tension change of the running roll opening / closing command calculating device 60 has been completed.
When the rolling load on the material 1 to be rolled does not reach the target load or the tension change of the running roll opening / closing command calculating device 60 is not completed (No in S209 in FIG. 5), The process proceeds to S208a in FIG. 5, S208b in FIG. 5, and S208c in FIG.
On the other hand, when the rolling load reaches the target load and the tension change of the running roll opening / closing command calculating device 60 is completed (Yes in S209 in FIG. 5), in S210 in FIG. The acceleration of the rolling mill 3 is started from a state where the acceleration rate is lowered (see (8) in FIG. 4A).

Subsequently, in S211 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the speed of the rolling mill 3 (upper work roll Rs1, lower work roll Rs2) has reached a certain speed or higher.
If the speed of the rolling mill 3 (upper work roll Rs1, lower work roll Rs2) does not reach a certain speed (No in S211 in FIG. 5), the process proceeds to S210 in FIG.
On the other hand, when the speed of the rolling mill 3 reaches a certain speed (Yes in S211 in FIG. 5), in S212 in FIG. 5, the acceleration rate is returned to the normal acceleration rate and further accelerated (FIG. 4 ( a) (Refer to (9)), transition to the normal rolling state (refer to (10) in FIG. 4A).

Here, the change of the acceleration rate may be changed in multiple stages depending on the speed of the rolling mill 3 (rotational speed of the upper work roll Rs1, the lower work roll Rs2) or time, even in one stage where the acceleration rate is changed only once. May be continuously changed steplessly.
The above is the flow of the operation of closing the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 to the material 1 to be rolled while the rolling device S shown in FIG. 5 is running (while the material 1 is being rolled).

<< Summary >>
In the rolling apparatus S (see FIG. 1) of the present embodiment, each state is changed in stages from rolling of the material to be rolled 1 to opening of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2, and the running distance (rolled material) 1), the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 are released from the material to be rolled 1 and closed to the material 1 to be rolled. Further, by performing these operations when the material to be rolled 1 is fed at 60 mpm or less, the off-gauge of the product (rolled product) is minimized, and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 and the material to be rolled 1 are damaged. The upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 can be opened and closed without generating.

When the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are opened in the rolling apparatus S, first, the normal rolling state is decelerated to obtain a rolling state at a low speed.
At this time, since the speed is reduced while maintaining a stable rolling state, the speed may be reduced stepwise.
If the material to be rolled 1 is fed at an extremely low speed of less than 30 mpm, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 can be opened and closed more safely. When the material to be rolled 1 is decelerated from a rolling state at a low speed (30 mpm or more) to an extremely low speed (less than 30 mpm), if the decelerating rate is large, that is, decelerating quickly, the upper and lower work rolls of the rolling mill 3 Since Rs1 and Rs2 stop, the speed command deceleration rate of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 of the rolling mill 3 is changed stepwise to decelerate gently.

Further, when the gap between the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 is controlled so that the plate thickness of the material 1 to be rolled becomes a target value at a low speed, the material to be rolled 1 of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 is obtained. Load increases, and the plate shape of the material 1 to be rolled deteriorates.
Therefore, when shifting from the low-speed rolling state to the extremely low-speed rolling state, the load (rolling load) applied to the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 is set to a constant value between the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2. Control the gap. At this time, the material to be rolled 1 has a smaller thickness on the exit side than the thickness on the entry side of the rolling mill 3, and the material 1 to be rolled is rolled by the load of the upper and lower work rolls Rs 1 and Rs 2 to be plastic. It is in a state of deformation.

Thereafter, the gap between the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 is gradually released from the rolled state (plastic deformation state), and the load by the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 is set to a certain value, or the material 1 to be rolled is elastic. It reduces until it will be in a deformation | transformation state, and makes the to-be-rolled material 1 the state of elastic deformation.
At the same time, the speed of the rolls on the entry side and the exit side (entrance side speed control roll 2, tension reel 4) or the take-up reel so that the tensions of the material 1 on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 are equal. The torque of the tension reel 4 is changed.

  In this process, the tension of the material 1 to be rolled on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 or the speed of the material 1 to be rolled fluctuates at the moment when the material 1 to be rolled changes from the plastic deformation state to the elastic deformation state. Therefore, in order to minimize fluctuations in the tension of the material 1 on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3, the work rolls on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 (the entry speed control roll 2 and the tension reel 4). ) Speed or torque of the tension reel 4 is changed.

The speed of the entry side speed control roll 2 and the speed of the tension reel 4 or the amount of change in the torque of the tension reel 4 of these work rolls are calculated from the actual tension of the material 1 or the actual speed of the material 1. To do. As a result, fluctuations in the tension of the material 1 to be rolled can be minimized, and stable operation can be continued.
Moreover, when reducing the load of the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2, the amount of bending of the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 changes and the shape of the material to be rolled 1 also changes. The pressures of the vendors of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 that correct the deflection amount of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are reduced so that the change in the plate shape is minimized.

  Next, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2, the intermediate rolls Rc1, Rc2, and the backup rolls Rb1, Rb2 are raised so that the pressure of the vendors of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 does not slip. The rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are opened, and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are pulled away from the material 1 to be rolled. At this time, the speed of the material 1 to be rolled and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 is a peripheral speed of about 1 to 60 mpm, and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are covered in a state almost the same as when stopped. Since the work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 can be separated from the rolled material 1, no slip occurs between the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 and the material 1 to be rolled.

Furthermore, if the feed of the material 1 to be rolled is in an extremely low speed state of less than 30 mpm, the possibility of slipping can be reduced to the limit.
Thus, by releasing the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 from the material to be rolled 1 stepwise in a low speed state, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 and the material to be rolled 1 are not scratched. The upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 can be opened during operation.

  When contacting the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2, the vendor pressure of the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 does not slip with the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 and the intermediate rolls Rc1, Rc2 or the backup rolls Rb1, Rb2. Increase the pressure, decelerate or accelerate the rolled material 1 to a low speed state, and detect the speed of the rolled material 1 such as a plate speedometer such as a rolling mill entry side speed detector 6 and a rolling mill exit side speed detector 7. Thus, the speed of the material to be rolled 1 is detected, and the speeds of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are controlled so that the speeds of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 coincide with the speed of the material to be rolled 1.

  Further, the drooping amount of the speed control device 41 of the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 (a motor for reducing the load current of the electric motor 21) so that the speed of the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 follows the speed of the material 1 to be rolled. Rotation speed correction) is set to a certain value. When the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are in contact with the material to be rolled 1, when there is a difference in speed between the material to be rolled 1 and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2, the electric motor 21 that is a motor of the rolling mill 3 Torque is generated. By setting the Drooping amount to an optimal value, the speed command of the electric motor 21 that is the work roll drive motor is corrected so as to cancel the torque current, so that the material to be rolled 1 and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 slip. Can be prevented.

  The position of the upper upper work roll Rs1 is aligned with the pass line of the material 1 to be rolled, the position of the lower work roll Rs2 is gradually raised, and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 are brought into contact with the material 1 to be rolled. The contact state in which the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 are in contact with the material to be rolled can be detected by the load detector 8. When the load detector 8 detects the loads of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2, the load is lowered so that the load of the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 becomes a constant value that keeps the elastic deformation state of the material 1 to be rolled. The height position of the lower work roll Rs2 on the side is controlled. When the load on the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 reaches a constant value, the pressure of the vendor of the upper / lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 is decreased.

Next, the position of the lower lower work roll Rs2 is raised and the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 are closed until the material 1 to be rolled is in a rolled state (plastic deformation state). When the material to be rolled 1 is in a plastically deformed state, the thickness on the exit side of the rolling mill 3 becomes smaller than the thickness on the entry side of the rolling mill 3 of the material 1 to be rolled. The speed of the material 1 changes.
Therefore, the state in which the material 1 to be rolled transitions from the elastically deformed state to the plastically deformed state is to be rolled by the rolling mill entry side speed detector 6 and the exit side rolling mill delivery speed detector 7 of the rolling mill 3. It can be detected by measuring the speed difference (or speed ratio) of the material 1.

  When the material 1 to be rolled changes from the elastically deformed state to the plastically deformed state, the tension of the material 1 to be rolled on the entry side and the exit side of the rolling mill 3 decreases. The rolling mill entry-side speed detector 6, the rolling mill exit-side tension detector 10, or the rolling mill entry-side and exit-side speed detectors 1 of the material to be rolled 1. From the results of the rolling mill outlet speed detector 7, the rolling speed at the inlet and outlet of the rolling mill, that is, the speed of the inlet speed control roll 2 and the speed of the tension reel 4, or the torque change amount of the tension reel 4 is calculated. ,to correct. As a result, the fluctuation amount of the tension of the material 1 to be rolled can be minimized.

Further, when the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 are closed, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Increase Rs2 vendor pressure.
Incoming and outgoing roll speeds (speed of the incoming speed control roll 2 and speed of the tension reel 4) so as to change the tension of the material 1 on the incoming side and the outgoing side of the rolling mill 3 to the set tension, or The torque of the take-up reel (tension reel 4) is changed.
After the rolling state of the material to be rolled 1 shifts to a plastically deformed state and converges within a certain range of fluctuations in tension, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 of the rolling mill 3 are accelerated to perform normal rolling operation. Put it in a state.

<< Action and effect >>
According to the rolling apparatus S, the work roll 1 is made to transition in a rolling state stepwise during the low-speed operation, so that the work rolls Rs1, Rs2 and the work roll 1 are not scratched or slipped. Rs1 and Rs2 can be opened and tightened.
Accordingly, the upper and lower work rolls Rs1, Rs2 can be opened and closed while continuing the rolling.

Therefore, it is possible to pass the welding point of the material 1 to be rolled 1 with the upper and lower work rolls Rs1 and Rs2 open without changing the upper and lower work rolls during rolling or stopping the rolling mill 3. Thus, the degree of freedom in changing the thickness and width of the material 1 to be rolled is improved.
