[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an edge drop control method for strip rolling by a multiple pass multi-rolling mill.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In strip rolling for continuous cold rolling,
In order to perform high-speed rolling of rolled material and improvement of edge drop, multiple multiple rolling mills are installed on the rolling line to perform edge drop control.

In such equipment, a target edge drop of material at a predetermined position on the rolling line is set as a target value for edge drop control. That is, the edge drop control is a preset control for outputting a set value before rolling the material.

In this preset control, the roll barrel end of the rolling mill having a minimum number of passes is tapered (hereinafter referred to as "taper") as far as possible on the upstream side of the rolling pass of the multi-pass multi-rolling mill and within the range satisfying the constraint condition for control. It is optimum to adjust the shift in the plate width direction and roll the work roll that has become the “()” from both aspects of ensuring quality and reducing production costs.

Therefore, in the preset control, the shift amount of the work roll from the upstream of the rolling pass is calculated and preset so that the edge drop on the exit side of the final pass becomes the target edge drop and the above-mentioned constraints and optimum conditions are satisfied. Required to do so.

However, in the actual rolling, the optimum value of the work roll shift changes due to the influence of the rolling conditions such as the change of the taper portion of the work roll, the rolling load, the plate thickness or the plate width of the original plate.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention previously proposed Japanese Patent Application No. 2-36.
As No. 211, the edge drop of the plate on the exit side of the final pass rolling mill is represented by a mathematical model using the above rolling conditions as parameters, and using this mathematical model, from the both aspects of quality assurance and production cost reduction, Has proposed a method of obtaining and presetting the work roll shift amount of the rolling mill from the upstream side such that the edge drop becomes the target value and the optimum conditions are satisfied by the constraint conditions.

[0008]

The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 2-36.
In the method of No. 211, the work roll shift amount that minimizes the evaluation function that evaluates the deviation from the target value of the edge drop is obtained by iterative calculation of the mathematical model, and depending on the rolling conditions and the initial value, the number of calculations is Can be huge.

In view of the above problems, the present invention obtains and sets the work roll shift amount of the rolling mill from the upstream side so that the edge drop on the exit side of the final pass satisfies the required accuracy without repeatedly calculating the mathematical model. An edge drop control method is provided.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a multiple pass multiplex having a shift mechanism in the cylinder axial direction of a work roll in which the roll cylinder end is tapered during plate rolling. In a method of performing edge drop control of a plate using a rolling mill, a mathematical model of an edge drop of a rolled material expressed by a parameter including a work roll shift amount (hereinafter referred to as HCW) of each pass (hereinafter referred to as an edge drop prediction model) ) Is created in advance, the edge drop prediction model is used to predict the edge drops on the exit side of one or more final-pass rolling mills, and the work roll taper is started so that they all fall within the target range. This is an edge drop control method for plate rolling, characterized in that the relative positions of the points with respect to the widthwise end of the rolled material are sequentially set from the upstream pass rolling mill.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings and the operation thereof.

An embodiment of a multi-pass multiple rolling mill to which the present invention is applied is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, 7 is a multi-pass multiple rolling mill, and 1 is a steel plate rolled by the rolling mill. The starting point of the line is the S point, the ending point is the O point, 5 is an edge drop detector for measuring the strip thickness distribution on the rolling mill entrance side, and 8 is the strip width direction strip thickness distribution on the rolling mill exit side. Is an edge drop detector for measuring the strip width, and 6 is a strip width detector on the rolling mill entrance side.

The steel plate 1 at the point O is given a target value of edge drop. There is an n-pass (five passes in this embodiment) multiple rolling mill on the line, and each rolling mill has a work roll 2 and a backup roll 3 which are capable of shifting in the plate width direction in which the roll cylinder ends are tapered. Are equipped with.
The edge drop is improved by the shift operation of the work roll, and the operation amount is controlled by the control computer and the controller 4.

When the edge drop of the plate on the rolling mill entry side is large, the HCW of each rolling mill is set so that the contact length of the tapered portion of the work roll becomes larger on the upstream rolling mill in order to prevent the deterioration of the plate shape. Set. As a result, the reduction of the edge of the plate is reduced, so that the edge drop of the rolled plate is reduced and the plate has a uniform plate thickness in the width direction.

When setting the HCW, the magnitude of the bending force is also set at the same time so that the tension at the plate end does not become excessive.

The details of the edge drop prediction model and the edge drop control relating to the edge drop control method of the present invention will be described below.

In the present invention, the edge drop means the deviation between the plate thickness at the reference point and the plate thickness at the plate end point in the plate width direction. In that case, the reference point is an arbitrary point closer to the center of the plate than the plate end point, and the plate end point is one or more points closer to the plate side end portion than the reference point.

In this embodiment, the reference point is 10 from the end on the plate side.

An example of 5 mm will be described. The edge drop is calculated by the following equations 1 and 2.

[0019]

[Equation 1] D ₁₅ = h ₁₀₀ −h ₁₅

[0020]

[Equation 2] D ₂₅ = h ₁₀₀ −h ₂₅

[Number 4] _{D 25 = a 25 · 1 *} P (HCW 1) + a 25 · 2 * P (HCW 2) + ... + a 25 · m * P (HCW m) + e 25

Here, HCW ₁ is HCW (m

_{25. m} is an influence coefficient, and e _{15 to} e ₅₀ are influence terms of various rolling conditions such as the edge drop of the original plate, the material, the radius of the tapered portion, the rolling load and the strip width. The n and m are determined by selecting a stand that has a large influence on the edge drop of each point by the HCW. P () represents an arbitrary calculation process.

In this embodiment, an example in which the edge drop prediction model is set to the following equations 5 and 6 will be described.

Here, Γ ₁₅ and Γ ₂₅ represent edge drops (μm) at 15 mm points and 25 mm points of the original plate, and C ₁₅ and C ₂₅ represent influence coefficients.

2 and 3 show examples in which the estimations by the equations 5 and 6 and the actual values are compared. It can be seen that Equations 5 and 6 accurately represent the edge drop.

Next, a method for setting the manipulated variable for edge drop control in strip rolling by a multi-pass multiple rolling mill will be described. This method sets the work roll shift amount so that the edge drop estimation value on the exit side of the final pass rolling mill by the edge drop prediction model falls within the target range, but in this embodiment, the number of edge drop prediction models is set. 5,

Then, as the set value of HCW _3, the equation 30 is adopted.

[0079]

[Formula 30] HCW ₃ = Max (HCW _{3, min} ¹⁵ , HCW _{3, min} ²⁵ )

However, in the case of Expression 31, the initial setting value of HCW ₃ is set as it is. With the above, the work roll shift amount of the third pass is determined.

[0081]

Max (HCW _{3, min} ¹⁵ , HCW _{3, min} ²⁵ )> Min (HCW _{3, max} ¹⁵ , HCW _{3, max} ²⁵ )

By operating the work roll, the shape at the end portion on the plate side may become unstable. Therefore HC
The setting of W is from the 1st pass to the 3rd pass, and the shape (flatness) of the plate side end portion during this is determined by changing the setting of the work roll bender within the range where plate passing is possible or plate breaking does not occur. Although the deterioration of the shape is compensated, the setting range of the HCW is limited depending on the degree of the defective shape. Therefore, in the embodiment, the upper limit and the lower limit that can be set for each stand are set when calculating the HCW.

Can be obtained and set and output without repeatedly calculating the edge drop estimation model, so that the following effects can be obtained. Highly accurate rolling can be reliably performed. Product yield is improved. Cost is reduced because the load on the computer is small. The product accuracy is kept high even with respect to the error of the edge drop estimation model.
