DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an original metal sheet processing management system which performs processing using characteristic data for processing obtained for each manufactured metal sheet or for each lot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a steel sheet manufactured by a maker is shipped with a mill sheet stating the characteristics of the steel sheet at a predetermined position. Standard values such as a steel sheet size, TS (tensile strength), and YP (yield point) are written on the mill sheet. Then, the customer confirms the contents of the mill sheet at the time of receiving the steel sheet or at the time of processing the steel sheet as indicating the guarantee of the specifications. In particular, at the time of processing, it is used for setting processing conditions for each processing device and the like.

[0003]

The amount of processing δ during the processing of a steel sheet is determined from the characteristics β of the steel sheet and the processing conditions γ as δ = f (β, γ). It is not always possible to cover all of the properties of the steel sheet with the specified values, and in practice, there are often cases where there is a slight difference in the properties between steel sheets or lots. Therefore, in such a case, there is no guarantee that a constant processing amount δ can be obtained even if the same processing conditions are set for each steel sheet. Therefore, on the customer side, skilled workers monitor the actual processing status, grasp the difference in workability for each steel sheet as “habit”, and adjust the processing conditions delicately based on experience to respond to this “habit”. Was.

On the other hand, in recent years, processing equipment has been automated and streamlined in order to save labor and improve production efficiency. Therefore, in such an environment, and in the near future, it is required to build a system that recognizes in advance the difference in workability for each steel sheet without relying on the experience of skilled workers and performs appropriate or more appropriate processing than before. It is thought that.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide data for determining processing conditions, including "habit" information for processing a metal material plate when a metal material plate is delivered to a customer. The processing conditions provided are provided to the customer in one piece or separately from the metal material sheets in lot units, and matching information with data for determining the processing conditions is added to the corresponding metal material sheets so that the provided processing conditions can be used. An object of the present invention is to provide a metal material sheet processing management system that can perform appropriate processing based on data for determination.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a system for managing processing of a metal material plate, comprising: a recording medium for recording original data including data for determining processing conditions of the metal material plate; It has collation information for collating with the original data attached to the original plate.

According to this processing management system, data for determining the processing conditions for each of the original metal plates manufactured by the maker one by one or for each lot is obtained by detection or calculation, and the data for determining the processing conditions is obtained. Each metal material plate is processed using the data. The data for determining the processing conditions are either integrated with the corresponding metal plate or IC.
It is recorded on a recording medium such as a storage medium such as a card, and is provided from the recording medium to the processing side via a communication line such as a personal computer communication, and is provided to a processing step. Since the matching information for matching (matching) with the original data including the data for determining the processing conditions is attached to each metal base plate, the processing conditions corresponding to the metal base plate to be processed are determined. Data is reliably extracted (selected).

[0008] The collation information may be at least one of the original data. The data used to determine the processing conditions include the “habit” of the metal plate, and since this “habit” is unique to each plate or lot, the original data can be compared with the metal plate. It will be available as information. Therefore, the collation information does not need to be limited to one of the original data, and may be a required number or all.

Further, the original data indicates that the metal material
If identification information for specifying each sheet is included, and the matching information is the identification information, the original data of the corresponding metal material original plate is extracted by comparing the two pieces of identification information. It is possible to associate one by one. Alternatively, when the original data includes identification information for specifying the metal plate in lot units, the original data of the metal plate in the corresponding lot is extracted by comparing the two identification information. As a result, it is possible to match the metal material plates in lot units.

[0010] If the collation information is recorded in a recording section provided on a part of the surface of the metal plate, it is possible to refer to the recording portion of the surface of the metal plate, Collation can be performed, and data for determining the corresponding processing conditions can be reliably extracted. When the collation information is printed on the recording unit, the collation information can be visually recognized, and when the collation information is written in a form that can be read mechanically by encoding or the like, automatic reading is also possible. .

[0011] In particular, when the collation information includes a heating temperature that affects the bending performance by the linear heating, at least the steel sheet to be subjected to the linear heating is subjected to the bending by the linear heating. Among the conditions that affect performance,
The main condition of the heating condition can be adopted as the collation information.

When an electrically readable and writable storage medium is employed as the recording medium, handling of data for determining processing conditions, that is, data writing, storage, and reading processing is easy and reliable.

[0013] Further, the recording medium is obtained by performing processing characteristic data obtained by measurement and / or calculation from a metal original plate, and performing ranking according to the workability of the metal original plate from the processing characteristic data. At least one of the obtained rank data, the processing characteristic data, or the processing condition set from the rank data may be recorded as the original data. In this way, if the processing content is known in advance, it is at least sufficient to have the necessary data among the processing characteristic data, the rank data, and the processing conditions. If the method or use is unknown, various cases can be handled by having all of the processing characteristic data, rank data, and processing conditions. Further, when a processing condition setting program for setting a processing condition for the processing machine from the original data is recorded on condition that a processing amount for the processing machine is input, the processing condition setting program is used in the processing step. Is read, and when various quantities for processing are input, the processing conditions are obtained from the data for determining the processing conditions by this program. Therefore, the degree of processing in the processing step, ie, the allowable range, the processing accuracy of the processing equipment, simply input the various processing amounts in view of performance, etc., the processing conditions can be automatically obtained,
It is not necessary to consider a habit or the like, and desired processing is surely performed.

[0014] Even when the metal plate is an iron plate, data for determining the processing conditions corresponding to the metal unit plate for each lot or one by one is used as the collation information using the processing characteristic data or rank data. It is possible to obtain.

[0015]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining an outline of a management system showing a relationship between a flow of a metal material plate and digitized information. As for the steel sheet IR as an example of the original metal material, the properties of the steel sheet relating to the workability are detected or calculated by a property inspection or the like at the time of manufacturing or after the manufacturing, and these steel sheet properties are created as the electronic information IF. The digitized information IF includes, as data for determining processing conditions, at least one of rank data, processing conditions, and the like, which will be described later, according to each embodiment, in addition to processing characteristic data. The digitized information IF is basically created by detecting or calculating for each steel plate, but in some cases, it is collected for each lot, that is, by averaging the data for each lot. Created. Electronic Information I
F is taken into the recording medium M, for example.

Here, a specific example of the processing characteristic data in the digitized information IF will be described. As obtained from the material properties, Young's modulus, YP (tensile strength), TS (yield point),
There are work hardening coefficients and their high temperature properties, coefficient of thermal expansion, strength distribution in the thickness direction, and YP, TS of the welded portion. As a result obtained from the residual stress, there are a residual stress deviation in a plate surface, a residual stress value on a surface, a residual stress deviation in a plate thickness direction, and the like. As the surface properties, there are surface colors such as red and black, scratch positions, friction coefficient, and the like. Further, there are a sheet thickness and its deviation when wound in a coil shape, a difference depending on a direction of an r value indicating easiness of elongation, a surface roughness (a dull line or the like), and the like.

The recording medium M as a recording medium on which the digitized information IF is recorded is a magnetic recording medium such as a label, a floppy disk or a disk which can be attached to the surface of a steel plate, a magneto-optical recording device, a semiconductor integrated circuit and the like. Electronic devices can be adopted, and among these, those other than the label may be separated from the steel plate without being attached to the steel plate. Further, a form in which printing or embossing is performed directly on the surface of the steel sheet may be employed. further,
When a system that enables data transfer by a communication line is employed, the recording medium M is a memory connected to a computer on the transmission side. These recording media M
Constitutes a recording unit, a storage unit, a rank data storage unit, a processing condition storage unit, and the like in the means for solving the above-mentioned problems.

As the notation form, numerals, characters, symbols themselves, codes, figures, and representative barcodes indicating them can be adopted. Furthermore, color coding, notation on steel plates, and the like can be used. It is also possible to correspond to the position. The recording format may be any of digital signal and analog signal using electronic, optical and magnetic media.

When the digitized information IF for each steel plate (or lot) is obtained, subsequently, the steel plate and the digitized information IF
And matching information (collation information) for collating with.

As the matching information TD, there is a management number system for simply assigning a serial number as identification information, which is generally employed when managing each steel sheet or each lot. A method of using a dedicated number or code determined in advance as identification information,
A method that also uses F can be adopted. Electronic information IF
When the processing characteristic data is used, for example, the numerical data itself may be used, or the numerical data may be symbolized or coded. For example, a three-digit numerical value is used, the first digit represents the size of the processing characteristic data, the second digit represents the type of the processing characteristic data, and the third digit represents the processing target. It can be expressed as something. This association information TD is also the same as the electronic information I
It is recorded on the same recording medium as F.

Further, as the association information TD, it is possible to employ a part or a plurality of the electronic information IF, and in some cases, all of them. The associating information TD is attached to a predetermined portion of the steel plate, for example, at a predetermined corner, or the like, while the recording medium M into which the digitized information IF is captured.
, The same or corresponding matching information TD is written. Associating information T with a plurality of digitized information IF
D, if there is only one piece of matching information TD,
When the characteristic data is very similar, there is a possibility that an association error may occur, but the possibility can be suppressed as much as possible by collating with a plurality. Further, when all of the digitized information IF is set as the matching information TD, the electronic information in the recording medium M can be read as needed even before the matching information TD (that is, the digitized information) is read from the steel plate. For example, there is an advantage that it can be used for checking and confirming the digitized information IF in the acceptance inspection.

In the processing step, when the processing machine is represented by a sensor (information detector) or a reader (information reader) (not shown) or when the processing machine is represented in a visually recognizable form such as a number or a character, By reading these contents and manually inputting them from the keyboard, the operator can input the recognizable information TD from each steel plate to the device side and collate it with the recognizable information in the recording medium M. Then, the digitized information IF recorded in correspondence with the matching or related matching information is read out according to the contents of the processing, and the processing conditions necessary for the processing machine are set from the contents. Thus, the machining process is automatically and assisted.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a block diagram of a control device for controlling the detection or calculation of characteristic data during or immediately after the steel sheet manufacturing process.

In FIG. 2, the structure for producing a rolled steel sheet is composed of a rolling line 10 and a hot leveler 11 disposed in the middle of the rolling line 10 and performing hot straightening on the ingot.
The control system includes a host computer 1 having a memory for storing the acquired processing characteristic data, a computer 2 for performing process control and data acquisition control, computers 1, 2 and a terminal 21 to be described later for data transfer. And a computer 3 having a built-in memory for temporary storage, and taking in measurement data and executing necessary calculations, and instructing data capture and controlling the calculations. , A communication network 5 that enables data communication between the computers 2 and 3 and data communication between the arithmetic and control unit 4 and the computer 3, and is installed on a rolling line 10 and has a A scanning thermometer 6 for scanning and measuring the surface temperature in the width direction, and a measurement signal from the scanning thermometer 6 is digitized. Signal converter 7 for converting the data, and the movement amount of the rolling line 10, i.e. rolled steel plate I
A transfer amount detector 8 such as a rotary encoder connected to a transfer mechanism via a gear or the like, which sequentially detects the transfer amount of R, for example. The cold leveler 20 performs cold straightening on the steel sheet IR as necessary.
1 is provided with the same configuration. The terminal 21 includes a keyboard and the like, and inputs correction conditions.
Is to drive and control a drive system (not shown) of the cold leveler 20 according to the input correction condition.

The host computer 1 is provided with a terminal unit capable of inputting, as required, data that is likely to be required in various types of processing, in addition to processing characteristic data relating to “habit” of a steel sheet, which will be described later. . Further, the host computer 1 has a function of writing the digitized information IF and the association information TD on the above-described recording medium in association with each steel plate or lot. When the recording medium is the steel plate itself or the like, a printer is interposed between the host computer 1 and the steel plate.
And matching information TD or matching information T
It is sufficient to print out only D, and when engraving on the surface of the steel plate, it is sufficient to engrave via a marking device.

The scanning thermometer 6 receives an infrared ray emitted from the surface of the object to be measured, and an area sensor that electronically scans and measures the surface temperature in a one-dimensional direction based on the amount of received light, or a radiation sensor that measures a spot temperature. As the thermometer, a thermometer configured to be movable in the width direction of the steel plate or the like is employed. Further, a thermometer that directly measures the ambient temperature of the surface by bringing a thermosensor or the like close to the surface of the steel sheet and mechanically scans the thermometer in the width direction may be used. The scanning position, that is, the position data y in the width direction of the steel plate is managed by the arithmetic and control unit 4, while the movement direction, that is, the position data x, is obtained by taking the transfer amount data from the movement amount detector 8, Arithmetic / control unit 4
It is managed by. Therefore, the arithmetic and control unit 4 takes in the obtained temperature data as T (x, y).

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for calculating and taking in residual stress σC (x, y) from temperature data T (x, y) obtained by a scanning thermometer. This is because, as described above, in addition to the data detected using the respective sensors and the like, the processing characteristic data also has data calculated and estimated by calculation from another attribute. As an example obtained by calculating the processing characteristic data, the temperature data T (x,
The operation for calculating the residual stress σC (x, y) from y) will be described.

When the ingot is placed on the rolling line 10, hot-corrected by the hot leveler 11 and transferred to the measurement area of the scanning thermometer 6, the temperature measurement operation is started. When the temperature measurement operation is started, T (x, y) is sequentially fetched from the transfer amount data and the temperature measurement data (step S1). After a predetermined time, that is, when the rear end of the steel sheet passes from the transfer amount data from the transfer amount detector 8 and the preset length data of the steel sheet IR, or the temperature drops by a predetermined level or more, the steel sheet When it is determined that the rear end has passed, the acquisition of the temperature data ends (step S
3). Next, the residual stress value σC is calculated by using the calculation formula of Equation 1.
(X, y) is calculated (step S5).

(Equation 1)

The calculated residual stress value σC (x, y) is temporarily stored in the built-in memory of the computer 3 via the communication network 5 (Step S7). Next, it is determined whether or not the cold leveler 20 is applied (Step S9). If the cold leveler 20 is not applied, the residual stress value σC (x,
y) is directly transferred to the computer 1 and stored in the built-in memory (step S11).

On the other hand, when the cold leveler 20 is applied, the arithmetic and control unit 4 adjusts the correction condition data input from the keyboard of the terminal 21 via the computer 3 and the residual stress value σC ( x, y), and the residual stress value σ after correction is calculated using the calculation formula of Equation 2 described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 7-220742.
c ′ (x, y) is calculated (step S13). The obtained value is transferred to the computer 1 and stored in the built-in memory (Step S15).

(Equation 2)

Next, a method of generating rank data according to the processability from the process characteristic data will be described with reference to the case of linear processing shown in FIGS.

FIG. 4 is a view for explaining bending by linear heating (also shown in Table 3 to be described later). FIG. 4 (a) is a schematic perspective view showing a steel plate and a linear heater, and FIG. b) shows the steel sheet IR after bending. In FIG. 4, the linear heater 30
Are provided on a gas supply source 31, an arm 32 disposed on the upper surface side of the steel plate IR and parallel to the width direction, and provided on the lower surface side of the arm 32 by a predetermined pitch and a required number of passes (15 passes in this embodiment). The nozzle 33 (crater) of the gas burner provided. The gas supply source 31 is provided with a supply amount adjustment unit 311 corresponding to each nozzle 33, and the adjustment of the heating amount (that is, the heating temperature) is possible by automatically or manually operating the adjustment unit 311. I have. In such a configuration, while moving the arm 32 in the longitudinal direction relatively to the steel plate IR, the combustible gas is injected from the nozzle 33 in an ignited state, and after heating, that is, on the steel plate surface immediately after the nozzle 33 passes, The heating unit and the vicinity of the heating unit are cooled by a cooling unit (not shown) such as a blowing unit and a water discharging unit, so that the heating line is bent along a folding line.
In addition, as the linear heater 30, in addition to a heating device for a metal material such as a steel plate using a combustible gas, a heater using an eddy current as described later may be used.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the principle of bending by linear heating. FIG. 5 (a) is a cross-sectional view of a heated state, and FIG.
(B) is a sectional view of the cooling state. As shown in FIG. 5A, the position A on the nozzle 33 side, which faces the nozzle 33, expands due to the burner heating. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the positions A and B are cooled, A The amount of plastic strain caused by the compression of the portion changes, and the portion bends toward the nozzle 33. By performing the same operation for 15 passes, a bending process approximated to an arc shape is performed as shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining plate joining welding of the steel sheet IR. Consider a case where a steel sheet IR bent by linear heating shown in FIG. 4B is welded between other existing steel sheets IRK as shown in FIG. In this case, it is desirable that the amount of misalignment allowed from the viewpoint of weldability, that is, the required bending accuracy is usually ± 3 mm. Further, since the processing characteristic data having a large influence on the amount of bending is residual stress on the surface of the steel sheet, ranking is performed as follows based on the degree of influence of the residual stress on the amount of bending.

That is, the relationship between the amount of processing δ due to linear heating and the amount of angular deformation θ (deg) per pass can be expressed as in Equation 3.

(Equation 3)

Based on the equation (3), the allowable error of the bending amount δ ± 3
mm is converted to the permissible error of the angular deformation θ per pass,
It becomes ± 0.0288 deg. The degree of influence of residual stress on the amount of angular deformation θ per linear heating pass is 0 as shown in FIG. 7 “Relationship between residual stress of steel sheet and amount of angular deformation per linear heating pass”. 0.023 deg / kgf / mm2. From these two values, the variation range Δ of the residual stress corresponding to the bending error ± 3 mm is Δ = ± 0.0288 /
0.023 ≒ ± 1.25 kgf / mm2. Therefore, the ranking is as shown in Table 1. If processing conditions are set based on this rank data, necessary processing accuracy can be obtained. Then, the residual stress value σ (kgf / mm2)
And the rank data may be loaded into a storage medium in the form of a table.

[Table 1]

The association information will be described with reference to Table 1. For example, the residual stress value σ (kgf / mm2)
If 0 ≧ σ> −2.5, the amount of angular deformation θ that is the degree of processing per pass when performing linear heating with a predetermined reference heating amount
Is 0.889 ≧ θ> 0.974, which is represented as rank “1”. Then, in consideration of a variation range of ± 1.25 kgf / mm2, the ranking is set in a range different by 2.5 kgf / mm2, such as ranks “2” to “8”. Therefore, if this rank data is readable on the steel plate side as matching information,
It is possible to associate with Table 1. The expression form of the rank data uses numerical values and symbols such as rank “1” and rank “2”, and rank “A” and rank “B”.
Using the residual stress value itself, "0-2.5", "2.5
−5 ”, or“ 1.2
5 "," 3.75 ", or the center value, that is, in a form having a predetermined relationship. It is preferable that the matching information is matched with the rank data from the viewpoint of matching. However, a numerical range such as the above “0-2.5”,
It is not always necessary to match them like a center value such as “1.25”, and it can be determined to which of the residual stress values σ (kgf / mm2) these pieces of association information belong. For example, it is possible to set processing conditions at least according to the rank.

Next, a method of creating rank data from processing characteristic data will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11 using the following “Example 1” to “Example 3”.

"Example 1" shows a case where the lateral bending amount in the strip cutting of a thick plate (thick steel plate) is classified by residual stress, and FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view of a strip cutting machine. . In FIG. 8, a strip cutting machine 40 includes a gas supply amount source 41, a frame 42 cross-linked in the width direction of the steel sheet IR and relatively movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the steel sheet, and a frame 42 in the width direction of the frame 42. The gas cutting machine is provided with a plurality of torches 43 provided at predetermined intervals and connected to the gas supply source 41 via a pipe. The gas supply source 41 has a supply amount adjustment unit 411, and the amount of gas and the gas pressure (heat input amount) sent to the torch 43 can be adjusted automatically or manually. Also, Torch 4
The size of the crater No. 3 relates to the cutting margin, and the cutting margin can be adjusted according to the separation distance from the surface of the steel plate IR or according to the relative moving speed of the frame 42. Therefore, in the embodiment in which the cutting margin is adjusted at the moving speed of the frame 42, a configuration capable of adjusting the moving speed is used for a moving drive unit (not shown) that moves the frame 42. In a processing machine that performs adjustment based on the separation distance, a driving unit that can move the frame 42 up and down with respect to the steel plate IR may be provided.

The amount of lateral bending in the strip cutting is affected by the residual stress deviation of the steel sheet. So, computer 2
Thus, by performing the ranking according to the residual stress deviation, it is possible to perform the processing according to the “habit”.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure for ranking the residual stress deviation.

First, the residual stress value σ (kgf / mm2) in the plate surface is calculated by using the procedure shown in FIG. 3 (step S21), and then, from the distribution of the residual stress value,
The residual stress deviation in the plate surface is calculated (step S2).
3). The residual stress deviation is a value obtained by expressing the average of the deviations of the residual stress values in the thickness direction as a plate surface distribution. When the residual stress deviation in the plate surface is calculated, a ranking is performed using a previously created reference table (residual stress deviation vs rank data) (step S25). This comparison table has basically the same format as Table 1 described above,
The range of the residual stress deviation in the plate surface corresponding to the allowable dimension of the amount of lateral bending, and rank “1” and rank “2” data set in order from the smaller residual stress deviation for each range. In the comparison table, the calculated residual stress deviation is collated or searched to determine which range of the residual stress deviation is included in the reference table, and as a result, the range corresponding to the range determined to be applicable is obtained. Rank data is output.

"Example 2" shows a case where the horizontal bending amount in the strip cutting of a thick plate (thick steel plate) is classified by the horizontal bending amount itself, and will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. I do.

First, for example, the lateral bending amount after strip cutting is calculated using the equations (1) to (23) described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-8128 (the same applies to Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-8129). (Step S31). This is because the shape change of the steel sheet after strip cutting is a phenomenon caused by residual stress, and therefore, if the residual stress state of the steel sheet is known, the shape change amount of the lateral bending after cutting can be estimated. That is, the residual stress value σc (x,
Based on y), the amount of lateral bending after cutting is determined from the balance between the stress and moment in the strip after cutting.

When the amount of lateral bending is calculated, a ranking is performed using a previously created reference table (lateral bending amount vs. rank data) in consideration of, for example, an allowable amount (step S33). Processing conditions are set based on the rank data. The set rank data is recorded on a recording medium in association with the various types of association information described above. In addition, as shown in Table 3, "the difference in heat input between torches" and "cutting allowance" affect processing conditions.
Therefore, at the time of processing, these conditions are automatically adjusted according to the read rank data, or adjusted manually by checking the automatically displayed rank data.

"Example 3" shows a case where the amount of bending in a bending process of a thick plate (thick steel plate) by linear heating is classified according to the residual stress value, and will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. .

First, the residual stress value σ of the steel sheet after hot straightening by the hot leveler 11 and at the time when cooled to room temperature.
The estimation or measurement of t is performed. The following three methods are conceivable for obtaining the residual stress value σt.

In the first method, as shown in FIG. 2, the temperature distribution on the surface of the steel sheet is determined by using the scanning thermometer 6 to obtain the temperature distribution on the surface of the steel sheet.
The residual stress σC (x, y) is calculated from (x, y) (step S41a). In the second method, the surface temperature T (x, y) of the steel sheet after hot straightening, the previously known steel sheet standard (component, strength, manufacturing history, etc.) and the steel sheet size (particularly thickness)
, A residual stress value is obtained using a comparison table in which these contents correspond to the residual stress values (step S4).
1b). The control table is obtained from a formula for calculating the residual stress value from the surface temperature T (x, y) of the steel sheet after the hot straightening, the steel sheet standard, and the steel sheet size, or is created based on a value obtained through an experiment. ing. In the third method, the residual stress value on the steel sheet surface is directly measured using an X-ray sensor in order to estimate the residual stress value from the deviation angle of the X-ray diffraction line caused by lattice distortion (step S41c).

Next, it is determined whether or not the cold correction has been performed. If the cold correction has not been performed, step S47 is performed.
Move to On the other hand, if the cold straightening has been performed, the calculation of the residual stress value after the cold straightening is performed by the following three methods.

In the first method, the residual stress value σ obtained in step S41a (or steps S41b and 41c) is obtained.
Estimation is performed using the elasto-plasticity calculation formula from t and the actual condition of the cold straightening (the pushing amount and the inclination amount: set at the terminal 21 in FIG. 2: the same meaning as the cold straightening condition described above) (step S45a). ). In the second method, without using the values obtained in the hot straightening, the actual conditions of the cold straightening (the amount of indentation and the amount of inclination: set at the terminal 21 in FIG. 2) and the previously known steel sheet standard (component, strength) , Manufacturing history, etc.) and the steel sheet size (particularly the thickness), the residual stress value is obtained using a comparison table in which these contents are associated with the residual stress value (step S45b). In the third method, the residual stress value on the steel sheet surface is directly measured using an X-ray sensor (step S4).
5c).

The residual stress value thus obtained is compared with a reference table in which the residual stress values are sorted by a predetermined range and ranked, and corresponding rank data is obtained (step S47). ).

In the present flowchart, the output data corresponding to the input data is transmitted using a reference table, such as a ROM, which stores a predetermined correspondence. Alternatively, rank data may be obtained by directly performing a rank division operation.

Here, the relationship between the processing conditions and the rank data will be described with reference to an example in the case of linear heating. According to Table 2 “Relationship between rank and processing conditions (heating temperature)” corresponding to Table 1 described above, the deformation amount when the steel sheet of each rank is linearly heated under the reference heating temperature is calculated from Equation 3 described above. I get it.

[Table 2]

Table 2 is a table in the case where the target bending amount is set to 120 mm. For example, as shown in Table 2, a steel sheet belonging to rank “1” has a deformation of 96 ± 3 mm with respect to the target value of 120 mm. Therefore, for example, in order to bend the steel plate of rank “1” by 120 mm as the target value, the processing conditions may be changed by an amount corresponding to a difference from the target value of 24 mm (= 120−96). Here, the case where the heating temperature is taken as an example as the processing condition in the linear heating will be described.

FIG. 12 shows the difference between the reference temperature and the heating temperature (° C.) and the variation Δθ (deg) of the angular deformation θ per pass.
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the relationship between the difference (° C.) between the reference temperature and the heating temperature and the total amount of deformation δ (mm).

As can be seen from these figures, heating temperature 1
The amount of deformation δ per ° C is 0.205 mm / ° C. In the case of a steel sheet of rank “1”, if the heating temperature is increased by 117 ° C (= 24 / 0.205), processing to achieve the desired amount of bending has been achieved. Is done. For the other ranks, it is possible to calculate the heating temperature increase (corrected value) by calculating in the same manner as the above-mentioned rank “1”. Table 2 shows the corrected value (° C.) from the reference temperature as the rank. Are shown in association with each other.

In actual processing (linear heating), a heating temperature corresponding to the rank is set from the rank data.

As a factor affecting the amount of bending in the linear heating, the heating depth in the plate thickness direction is increased. This can be set according to the processing conditions described below.

For example, when a gas burner is used as the heating means, means for adjusting the moving speed of the gas torch (heating speed), the flow rate of the combustion gas and oxygen (mixing ratio), and the crater distance (the distance between the crater of the gas torch and the surface of the steel plate). Therefore, if the residual stress value and these processing conditions are confirmed, rank data can be provided for such processing conditions. Then, according to the obtained rank data, one of the above-mentioned heating rates, mixing ratios and crater distances, or two depending on the setting method, or a control table for adjusting all the processing conditions. Should be created.

As another heating means capable of adjusting the heating depth, an apparatus using high-frequency heating using eddy current loss is known. That is, it is a device for flowing high-frequency eddy current parallel to the surface of the steel sheet so as to penetrate in the depth direction and heating by iron loss. The calorific value W can be expressed as Equation 4.

(Equation 4)

Therefore, in the high frequency heating, the heating temperature and the heating depth in the thickness direction can be adjusted by adjusting the frequency f and the like as the processing conditions. Then, in accordance with the residual stress value, data of the current i, the frequency f, and the bending amount are obtained, and from the obtained data, the current i and the rank data, or the frequency f and the rank data are associated. You just need to create a comparison table.

Further, it is necessary to perform the ranking in consideration of the performance of the processing equipment on the customer side, that is, the processing equipment. That is, it has storage means for storing a program for setting processing conditions from the above-mentioned processing characteristic data in response to input of various processing amounts for the steel plate, and having at least one of the processing characteristic data as association information. You may. That is, the storage means provided in the metal material plate stores a processing condition setting program together with the processing characteristic data. It should be noted that only the association information may be recorded on the steel plate, and other data may be stored on a separate recording medium. If the matching information also serves as processing characteristic data, etc., it is necessary to know in advance which type of data is to be matched, and automatically perform the matching process. In this case, a program for the association may be stored in the control device on the customer side or as a program on the separate recording medium.

In the processing step, first, a program for setting processing conditions is read from the storage means by a reader or the like (in the case where the storage means is a semiconductor memory or the like, a data acquisition means or the like of a control unit of the processing equipment). Next, the processing characteristic data necessary for processing, that is, the processing characteristic data affecting the control target, or the allowable range data for the processing conditions for rank classification, from the keyboard (terminal) of the control unit of the processing equipment,
In addition, various processing quantities such as processing accuracy, processing performance, and model of the processing equipment are input. Then, thereafter, the processing condition setting program creates the processing conditions from the acquired processing characteristic data by using the input various processing amounts.
Therefore, the processing conditions can be automatically obtained only by inputting various processing quantities desired in the processing step (distribution range data for one rank in the case of ranking). For example, using Tables 1 and 2 as an example, if various processing amounts and allowable widths suitable for the processing machine are input, the rank data and the correction value of the heating temperature (correction value ( Processing conditions)
Is automatically calculated. Note that the processing equipment has a reading program for reading a program for processing condition setting, and various amounts for processing can be automatically taken into the program for processing condition setting. By doing so, it is possible to further save labor in the processing step.

This is because when the processing equipment of the customer is sold,
If you can grasp the accuracy, performance and processing conditions and rank data according to the model of the device can be created by the manufacturer side, but if the customer is unknown, so-called over-the-counter sales,
By attaching a program for creating processing conditions and rank data, the processing conditions and rank data can be created on the customer side so as to be suitable for their own processing equipment.

Therefore, the difference in the direction of the r value, the material property at a high surface roughness (such as a dull line) at a high temperature, and the wrinkle holding force and the lubrication condition (such as the amount of lubricating oil) are used as processing information as processing characteristic data. It is also possible to use data obtained by ranking these data as matching information. (4) Overhanging FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating overhanging.
