DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet, and more particularly to a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet to obtain the amount of oil applied to the surface of the steel sheet. More particularly, the present invention belongs to the technical field of a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet so that the amount of rust-preventive oil applied to the surface of the steel sheet at a cold rolling mill of an ironworks can be determined online and accurately.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Rust-preventing oil is applied to a thin steel plate (product) before shipment at a cold rolling factory of an ironworks. At this time, if the applied amount of the rust preventive oil (oil applied amount) is too small, the rust preventive effect becomes insufficient, and if it is too large, it causes economic disadvantage.
In addition, since a large amount of cleaning liquid is required for removing the rust-preventive oil, strict control of the amount of applied oil is required in order to obtain an appropriate amount of applied oil without causing such disadvantages. As one of the management methods, the amount of oil applied to the surface of the steel sheet is measured.

As a method of measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet, there is a sample cutting method. In this method, a sample is cut out from a steel plate coated with oil, the mass of the sample is measured, the oil is removed by degreasing the sample, the mass of the sample is measured, and the mass of the sample before and after degreasing is measured. This is a method in which the difference is obtained, and the amount of the applied oil is thereby obtained.

[0004] This sample cutting method has a relatively high accuracy in measuring the amount of applied oil and the measured value is accurate. However, it requires an off-line operation such as sample cutting, mass measurement, and degreasing, so that much time and effort is required for measurement. It takes time and time, and it is impossible to measure the amount of oil applied over the entire length and / or width of the steel sheet, and there is a problem that the amount of oil applied cannot be accurately grasped over the whole.

A method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-90014 is a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet by solving the above problem and obtaining the amount of oil applied to the surface of the steel sheet online. This method irradiates a laser beam for excitation of a specific wavelength on the surface of a steel plate coated with oil, and detects the fluorescence spectrum intensity of a component contained only in oil in the reflection spectrum from the steel plate surface. In the method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the steel sheet surface from the fluorescence spectrum intensity, the detection of the fluorescence spectrum intensity, simultaneously measuring the steel sheet surface properties from the scattering distribution of the excitation laser light reflected on the steel sheet surface, A method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet, wherein the fluorescence spectrum intensity is corrected based on the measured value to determine the amount of oil adhesion.

[0006]

According to the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-90014, the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet can be determined online.

In addition, as described above, the fluorescence spectrum intensity of the component contained only in the oil on the steel sheet surface is detected, and at the same time, the steel sheet surface properties are measured from the scattering distribution of the excitation laser light reflected on the steel sheet surface. Since the fluorescence spectrum intensity is corrected to obtain the oiling amount on the steel sheet surface, the correction is not performed, and the oiling amount is simply obtained from the detected fluorescence spectrum intensity itself. It is considered that the oiling amount can be obtained more accurately, and the measurement accuracy of the oiling amount is high.

That is, the detected fluorescence spectrum intensity differs not only depending on the amount of oil applied but also on the surface properties of the steel sheet, and the detected fluorescence spectrum intensity differs even with the same oil film thickness (oil applied amount). Accordingly, when the amount of oil applied is determined from the intensity of the fluorescence spectrum itself, the amount of oil applied includes an error due to the surface properties of the steel sheet, and the measurement accuracy of the oil applied amount is reduced by the surface properties of the steel sheet. On the other hand, considering the effect of the steel sheet surface properties on the fluorescence spectrum intensity, and calculating the amount of oil to be applied by correcting the fluorescence spectrum intensity based on the measured values of the steel sheet surface properties, the oiling by the steel sheet surface properties It is considered that the error of the measured amount value is small, and in that respect, the measurement accuracy of the applied oil amount is high.

However, in the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-90014, the ultraviolet and fluorescent absorptivity of the steel sheet is not taken into consideration. These absorptivity differs depending on the type of the steel sheet, that is, the material such as the composition. Therefore, the reflectance of ultraviolet rays and fluorescence on the steel sheet differs depending on the type of the steel sheet, and the intensity of the fluorescence spectrum detected even at the same oil film thickness (the amount of applied oil) differs, and greatly differs depending on the type of the steel sheet. Therefore, in the method described in the above publication, the measured oiling amount includes an error depending on the type of the steel sheet, and the accuracy of measuring the oiling amount is reduced depending on the type of the steel sheet. Is greatly reduced.

[0010] That is, when oil is applied to various steel plates and the amount of oil applied to the surface of the steel plate is measured by the method described in the above-mentioned publication, even the same oil film thickness (oil applied amount) is detected depending on the type of steel plate. It was confirmed that the fluorescence spectrum intensities differed by up to nearly two times, and this was due to the difference in the reflectance of ultraviolet rays and fluorescence on the steel sheet. Therefore, in the method described in the above publication, the measured oiling amount includes an error due to the type of the steel sheet, the measurement accuracy of the oiling amount is reduced depending on the type of the steel sheet, and the error is extremely large depending on the type of the steel sheet. In addition, there is a problem that the measurement accuracy of the amount of applied oil is significantly reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to determine the amount of oil applied on the surface of a steel sheet online. In this case, the error of the measured oil amount by the type of steel sheet is small, the decrease in the measurement accuracy of the oil amount by the type of steel sheet is small, the measurement accuracy of the oil amount is high, and the oil amount on the steel sheet surface can be more accurately measured. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet that can be obtained.

[0012]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet according to the present invention is a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet according to the first aspect. The configuration is as described above. That is, the method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet according to claim 1 irradiates the surface of the steel sheet coated with oil with excitation light to obtain a component of the reflection spectrum from the steel sheet surface that is contained only in oil. In the method for measuring the amount of oil applied to a steel sheet from the fluorescence spectrum intensity by detecting the fluorescence spectrum intensity, the reflectance of excitation light from the steel sheet surface is measured simultaneously with the detection of the fluorescence spectrum intensity. At the same time, the surface of the steel sheet is irradiated with light having the same wavelength as the fluorescence, the reflectance of the fluorescence from the steel sheet surface is measured, and the fluorescence spectrum intensity is corrected based on the measured values to thereby adhere the oil. This is a method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet, wherein

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is implemented, for example, as follows. The surface of the steel plate coated with oil is irradiated with excitation light to detect the fluorescence spectrum intensity of the component contained only in oil in the reflection spectrum from the steel plate surface, and at the same time, to detect the excitation light from the steel plate surface. Measure the reflectance. At the same time, the surface of the steel sheet is irradiated with light having the same wavelength as the fluorescence (hereinafter referred to as fluorescence approximate wavelength light), and the reflectance of the fluorescence from the steel sheet surface is measured. Then, based on the measured value of the reflectance of the excitation light and the measured value of the reflectance of the fluorescence, the fluorescence spectrum intensity is corrected to determine the oiling amount on the steel sheet surface.

As described above, the method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet according to the present invention includes irradiating the surface of the steel sheet coated with oil with excitation light to obtain only the oil out of the reflection spectrum from the steel sheet surface. Simultaneously with detecting the fluorescence spectrum intensity of the contained components, measure the reflectance of the excitation light from the steel sheet surface, and irradiate the surface of the steel sheet with light having an approximate wavelength of fluorescence to measure the reflectance of the fluorescence from the steel sheet surface. The intensity of the fluorescence spectrum is corrected based on these measured values to determine the amount of oil adhering. Therefore, the amount of oil applied to the surface of the steel sheet can be determined online, and in determining the amount of oil applied, the error in the measured amount of oil applied according to the type of steel sheet is small, and the decrease in the measurement accuracy of the oil applied according to the type of steel sheet is small. The measurement accuracy of the oiling amount is high, and the oiling amount on the surface of the steel sheet can be obtained more accurately.

That is, the ultraviolet ray and the fluorescence absorptivity of the steel sheet vary depending on the type (material such as composition) of the steel sheet, and accordingly, the reflectance of the ultraviolet ray and the fluorescence of the steel sheet vary. Varies not only with the amount of oil applied, but also with the type of steel plate, and the detected fluorescence spectrum intensity differs even with the same oil film thickness (the amount of oil applied). Therefore, when the oiling amount is determined from the fluorescence spectrum intensity itself, the oiling amount includes an error depending on the type of the steel sheet, and the measurement accuracy of the oiling amount decreases depending on the type of the steel sheet.
Depending on the type of steel sheet, the error is extremely large, and the measurement accuracy of the amount of applied oil is extremely low.

On the other hand, taking into account the influence of the type of steel sheet on the fluorescence spectrum intensity, the reflectance of excitation light from the steel sheet surface and the reflectance of fluorescence from the steel sheet surface differ depending on the type of steel sheet. When the oil spectrum is determined by correcting the fluorescence spectrum intensity based on these measured values, the error of the oil level measured by the type of steel sheet is small, and the measurement accuracy of the oil level by the type of steel sheet decreases. And the accuracy of measurement of the amount of oil applied is high, and the amount of oil applied to the steel sheet surface can be determined more accurately.

In the method for measuring the amount of oil applied to the steel sheet surface according to the present invention, the fluorescence spectrum intensity is measured based on the measured values of the reflectance of excitation light from the steel sheet surface and the reflectance of fluorescence from the steel sheet surface. Correction is made to obtain the amount of oil applied.
Therefore, the error of the measured oil amount by the type of steel sheet is small, the decrease in the measurement accuracy of the oil amount by the type of steel sheet is small, the measurement accuracy of the oil amount is high, and the oil amount on the steel sheet surface can be more accurately measured. You can ask.

FIG. 1 shows the state of measurement of the amount of oil applied to the surface of a steel sheet according to an embodiment. While the steel sheet 1 is running, rust preventive oil (hereinafter referred to as oil) is applied to the surface of the steel sheet by the oil applying device 2. The surface of the oil-coated steel plate is irradiated with excitation light having a central wavelength of 350 nm from the excitation light irradiator 3 to pass light reflected from the steel plate surface through the prism 4 to obtain a spectrum (reflection spectrum). And the fluorescence spectrum intensity I ₁ of the component contained only in the oil is detected by the fluorescence detector 6. At the same time, measures the reflectance r _s of the excitation light from the measurement to the surface of the steel sheet an amount of the excitation light reflected from the surface of the steel sheet by the excitation light reflected light detector 5.

At the same time, the surface of the steel sheet at the same position as the surface of the steel sheet irradiated with the excitation light is irradiated with fluorescent light from the fluorescent light irradiator 7, and the amount of the fluorescent light reflected from the steel sheet surface is reflected by the fluorescent light. as measured by the photodetector 8 for measuring the reflection factor r _c of the fluorescence from the steel sheet surface.

In this computer 9, the expressions and have the same formula following formula I _1, r _s, r _c is substituted into W is calculated.

The measurement of the amount of oil applied to the steel sheet surface (Example of the present invention) was performed on steel sheets having various compositions.

On the other hand, for comparison, the reflectance r _s of the excitation light from above such steel sheet surface, and the fluorescence fluorescence spectrum intensity I ₁ of the correction in the reflectance r _c to the original from the steel sheet surface without was determined unction amount from the fluorescence spectra intensity I ₁ itself. That is, by matching the fluorescence spectrum intensity I ₁ in previously obtained prepared calibration curve (relationship between the fluorescence spectrum intensity I ₁ and the coating amount of oil), was determined unction amount (comparative example).

The calibration curve was obtained as follows.
That is, several types of steel plates are used as the steel plate, oil is applied to the surface of the steel plate, and the surface is irradiated with excitation light,

The oil amount manual analysis value in FIG. 2 corresponds to the oil amount value of the steel sheet surface measured by the sample cutting method, and the sensor output is the steel sheet surface measured by the method of the example of the present invention and the comparative example. Oil value. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the measured value of the applied oil amount (that is, the sensor output) in the comparative example is generally based on the applied oil amount (that is, the applied oil amount) of the steel sheet surface measured by the sample cutting method. The difference between the measured oiling amount and the manually analyzed oiling value (measured by the sample cutting method) in this comparative example differs depending on the type of steel sheet.

This is because, in the case of the embodiment of the present invention, unlike the case of the comparative example, the error of the measured oiling amount by the type of the steel sheet is small, and the decrease in the measurement accuracy of the oiling amount by the type of the steel sheet is small. This is because the measurement accuracy of the amount was high, and the amount of oil applied on the steel sheet surface could be more accurately determined.
