  The technique of Patent Document 1 is more effective as the crown detection during rolling is better. When the crown of each pass or odd pass can be measured with sufficient accuracy with a stickel mill, or a crown meter is installed between stands with a tandem mill. However, this method is effective when the measurement result can be used.

Further, in the crown control method of the tandem mill of the present invention, in a crown meter for detecting a crown installed on the final stand exit side, and a crown control method for a tandem mill having at least a bender as an operation end for controlling the crown,
The set value of the bender is calculated in the setup calculation prior to the rolling of the steel plate, the crown data of the steel plate taken from the crown meter is accumulated, and the bender at the end of the steel plate to be applied to the next steel plate using the accumulated crown data.

It outputs to the mill bender and controls the crown of the steel sheet.

The operation of the present invention will be described. The crown of the steel sheet wound as a product is stored in the crown data storage means in association with the distance from the front end of the steel sheet. Vendor adjustment guideline extraction means uses the chart data of the crown to determine the amount of undershoot of the tip crown, the distance from the steel plate tip until the tip crown reaches a steady state, the amount of undershoot of the trailing crown, and the steel plate from the end of the steady state Four feature values of the distance to the edge are extracted as vendor adjustment guidelines. The leading edge correction amount calculating means, the leading edge correction distance calculating means, the trailing edge correction amount calculating means, and the trailing edge correction distance calculating means fetch the previous value output by each calculating means from the adjustment amount storing means and use the extracted feature values. By a predetermined calculation, four crown correction operation amounts to be applied to the next steel sheet are calculated.
Further, the leading and trailing edge correcting means combines these, and calculates the vendor correction amount corresponding to each part in the longitudinal direction of the steel sheet, and the operation amount calculating means outputs the operation amount of the vendor determined by the setup and the output of the leading and trailing edge correcting means. By combining, the bender operation amount corresponding to each part in the longitudinal direction of the steel sheet is calculated.

According to the present invention, in the crown control device and method for a tandem mill, a crown that is relatively close to the target value can be obtained by appropriate correction even in the crown unsteady portion (transient state portion) at the leading and trailing ends of the steel plate. Since the steady crown is obtained at an earlier timing of the tip, the lock-on timing can be advanced.
Furthermore, since the vendor correction amount is determined according to the final crown data after rolling without using the crown information during rolling, only the crown as the final rolling result can be measured, or the crown during rolling can be measured. However, it can also be applied to cases where sufficient accuracy cannot be ensured for various reasons.

  Furthermore, since the vendor correction amount is determined according to the final crown data after rolling without using the crown information during rolling, only the crown as the final rolling result can be measured, or the crown during rolling can be measured. However, it can also be applied to cases where sufficient accuracy cannot be ensured for various reasons.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, a steel plate is produced in which crowns having values close to the target value are uniformly distributed in the longitudinal direction including the front and rear ends. Furthermore, by increasing the accuracy of the crown, the shape of the steel sheet (variation in the elongation in the width direction) can be made uniform, and as a result, a high-quality product can be produced. Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 6 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a crown control apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The crown control device 100 receives various signals from the control target 150 and outputs control signals to the control target 150. First, the configuration of the control target 150 will be described.

  The control object 150 of this embodiment is a hot-rolled stickel mill, and a rough material 152 having a thickness of about 30 mm produced by a roughing mill, which is the previous process, is reciprocally rolled about 3 to 7 times by a mill 151 to 2 mm. Produces steel sheet 153 of ~ 10mm. Hereinafter, each rolling is called a pass. The steel plate being rolled is gradually thinned from the rough plate state by being reciprocally rolled while being wound around the inlet side coiler 162 and the outlet side coiler 163. In the present embodiment, a crown meter 171 for measuring the crown amount of the steel plate is provided on the exit side of the mill 151.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the definition of the crown. The crown C is the difference between the thickness hc at the center of the plate and the thicknesses he1 and he2 at a certain distance from the edge.

  The distance from the edge that is the measurement point of he1 and he2 is often defined as 40 mm, but it may be 25 mm or 70 mm. As shown in FIG. 2, the crown meter 171 has a plurality of measurement points 201 in the plate width direction, and calculates the crown amount after detecting the plate thickness distribution in the plate width direction. In the present embodiment, the thickness distribution in the sheet width direction will be described as an example in which the thickness distribution is mainly controlled by the bending force in the sheet width direction given to the work roll 160, but the upper and lower rolls are crossed and controlled by the cross angle. In addition, the present invention can be similarly applied. Hereinafter, the bending force is referred to as bending force.

  The operation amount output from the control device 100 to the mill 151 is a set value of the bending force. The crown meter 171 detects the crown obtained as a result of the control, and outputs it to the crown control device 100 as a measured value. Although many signals are actually exchanged, only necessary ones will be described.

  Next, the configuration of the crown control device 100 will be described. The crown control device 100 determines a target crown for each pass of reciprocating rolling so that a target steel plate crown is produced, and refers to a control model 103 to calculate a setup command 102 for calculating a vendor command B0 for realizing the target crown. have. Further, crown receiving means 110 for receiving the measurement result of the crown meter 171; crown data storing means 111 for storing the received crown data in association with the distance from the front end of the steel sheet; and a steel sheet that is subsequently rolled from the stored crown data On the other hand, it has a leading and trailing edge correction adjusting means 104 for calculating and outputting a vendor correction specification applied to the leading and trailing edges of the steel plate. Furthermore, it has a front / rear end correction means 105 that specifically calculates the correction amount of the front / rear end according to the distance from the front end of the steel sheet in accordance with the vendor correction specification that is the output of the front / rear end correction adjustment means 104 and outputs it as ΔB1. The operation unit calculating unit 130 outputs a vendor setting value Bref that is output to the work roll 160 by combining the outputs of the setup unit 102 and the leading and trailing end correction unit 105.

  Further, the leading and trailing edge correction means 104 is a vendor adjustment guideline extraction means 112 that extracts a feature amount for determining the leading and trailing edge correction specifications of the vendor from the crown data for one steel sheet stored in the crown data storage means 111. It has an adjustment amount storage means 113 that accumulates the current adjustment amount for leading and trailing edge correction. Further, from the feature amount extracted by the vendor adjustment guideline extraction means 112 and the contents of the adjustment amount storage means 113, the tip correction amount calculation means 114 for calculating the correction amount of the bender at the steel plate tip, the range for tip correction is determined from the tip of the steel plate. Leading edge correction distance calculating means 115 for calculating as the distance, trailing edge correction amount calculating means 116 for calculating the correction amount of the bender at the rear end of the steel sheet, and trailing edge correction distance for calculating the range for performing the trailing edge correction as the distance from the trailing edge of the steel sheet Calculation means 117 is provided.

  Hereinafter, the processing of each unit will be described in detail. The control model 103 is a mathematical formula for estimating the crown amount after rolling (the steel plate exit-side crown amount). Crown is mainly determined by the amount of crown before rolling (the amount of crown on the steel sheet entry side), rolling load, and roll diameter profile shape in the width direction of the work roll (work roll crown) in addition to the bending force. 4 is an algebraic expression. A value obtained by dividing the crown by the plate thickness is called a crown ratio. In the algebraic expression, εH represents a crown ratio before rolling, and εh represents a crown ratio after rolling.

  However, CH: Steel plate entry side crown amount (Crown amount before rolling), Ch: Steel plate exit side crown amount (Crown amount after rolling), Hc: Entrance side plate thickness, hc: Outlet plate thickness, B: Bending amount, P: Rolling Load, CRW: Work roll crown, A1 to A5: Coefficient determined by plate thickness, plate width, steel grade, etc.

The setup means 102 determines the target crown of each pass so that the target crown can be obtained in the final pass, from the rolling load of each pass determined to obtain the target plate thickness, the temperature of the plate, and the like.
Then, the estimated value of the entry-side crown, entry-side plate thickness, exit-side plate thickness, rolling load, and work roll crown amount is taken as the input value, and from the relationship between the input value given by Equations 2 to 4 and the steel plate exit-side crown amount, The bending force B0 that realizes the target crown of each pass is calculated and output for each pass. Further, the estimation of the work roll crown is determined by a calculation that takes into account the amount of thermal expansion during rolling, the effect of roll diameter attenuation due to wear after replacement of the work roll 160, and the amount of shift of the work roll 160 in the steel plate width direction.

  FIG. 3 schematically shows a general crown distribution from the front end to the rear end of the steel plate. A detection crown C (l) from the steel plate front end 301 to the rear end 302 is drawn with respect to the steel plate length (l). The crown in the steel sheet rolled by the stickel mill has a large value as shown in the figure at the front and rear ends of the steel sheet due to a decrease in temperature.

  Therefore, the crown distribution of the entire steel plate is large, and the front end transient state portion 303, the steady portion 304, and the rear end transient state portion 305 are divided. In order to obtain a good crown control result in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate, in addition to bringing the crown of the steady portion 304 close to the target value, the range of the tip transient state portion 303 and the rear end transient state portion 305 is narrowed as much as possible, It is necessary to secure 304 in a wider range in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate. In general, the crown accuracy of the stationary part 304 is determined by the goodness of the calculation result of the setup means 102. On the other hand, the vendor's leading and trailing edge correction method provided in the present application aims to widen the range of the stationary part.

  FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the crown data storage unit 111. The crown data accumulating unit 111 takes in the measurement crown received by the crown receiving unit 110 and accumulates it by associating it with the distance from the tip of the steel plate. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the measured value of the crown is stored in units of 100 mm from the front end to the rear end of the steel plate.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the leading and trailing edge correction specification adjusting means 104 will be described. FIG. 5 schematically shows the feature amount extracted by the vendor adjustment guideline extraction unit 112. The vendor adjustment guideline extraction means 112 uses the length Lt of the tip transient state portion 303, the crown undershoot amount Ut in the tip transient state portion 303, and the features as features for adjusting the correction specifications of the leading and trailing ends from the waveform of the crown. The length Lb of the end transition state portion 305 and the crown undershoot amount Ub in the rear end transition state portion 305 are extracted. Here, Ut and Ub take negative values when undershooting occurs. In the detection crown 401, Lt and Ut are calculated using the steel plate front end crown 404 and the steady portion crown 405, and Lb and Ub are calculated using the steady portion crown 405 and the steel plate rear end crown 406 as follows. .

  FIG. 6 shows an algorithm for extracting four feature quantities Lt, Ut, Lb, and Ub. First, in S6-1, the moving average Ca (l) is calculated for the detected crown C (l) every 100 mm. The moving average Ca (l) can be calculated by Equation 5.

  Although n is a value determined depending on the variation of crown data, in practice, a value of about 2 to 5 is often selected. Next, the moving variance corresponding to each l is calculated. The moving variance Cv (l) can be calculated by Equation 6.

  Next, a value corresponding to the average value of the steady portion crown is calculated. The steel plate length is L, and an average value CA of C (l) between M and LM is calculated. The average value CA is calculated by Equation 7.

  M is a parameter for specifying a range in which the steady crown is sufficiently realized, and may be set to 1/3 of L, for example. In this case, the average value is calculated by the crown data of the center 1/3 of the steel plate.

Next, in S6-2, the minimum value l _{min of} l that satisfies the difference between Ca (l) and CA equal to or smaller than a certain value and Cv (l) equal to or smaller than the certain value is extracted. l _min indicates the length from the front end of the steel plate until the crown gradually approaches the value of the steady portion and the variation settles below a certain value. That is, the length of the tip transient state portion is quantified.

In S6-3, the distance l from the steel plate front end is at l _min is smaller than the range, extracts the minimum value Ct _min of Ca (l) -CA. When Ct _min is negative, it indicates that the crown undershoots near the tip of the steel plate, and the larger the Ct _min , the larger the amount of undershoot.

In S6-4, the maximum value l _max of l is extracted so that the difference between Ca (l) and CA is less than a certain value and Cv (l) is less than the certain value. l _max indicates the length until the crown asymptotically approaches the value of the steady portion and the variation settles below a certain value when going back from the rear end of the steel plate toward the front end. That is, the length of the rear end transient state portion is quantified.

In S6-5, the minimum value Cb _min of Ca (l) -CA is extracted in a range where the distance l from the rear end of the steel plate is larger than l _max . This shows that when Cb _min is negative, the crown undershoots in the vicinity of the rear end of the steel sheet, and the larger the Cb _min , the larger the amount of undershoot.

In S6-6, Lt is assigned by substituting l _min and Ut, L-l _m by substituting Ct _min.
Lb is calculated by substituting _ax , and Ub is calculated by substituting Cb _min .

  Thus, all the four feature amounts shown in FIG. 5 are calculated. Hereinafter, a method of appropriately correcting the bender at the front and rear ends of the steel sheet will be described for the purpose of reducing the range of the undershoot amount and the transient state at the front and rear ends of the steel sheet.

  FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the adjustment amount storage means 113, and FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of the bender correction amount applied to the longitudinal direction of the steel sheet. Bender correction is applied to the front and rear ends of the steel plate. As shown in FIG. 8, the correction range (correction length from the front end of the steel plate) is A, the correction amount at the front end of the steel plate is B, and the correction of the rear end of the steel plate is performed. The range (correction length to the rear end of the steel plate) is C, and the correction amount of the rear end of the steel plate is D. Here, the adjustment of the correction specifications of the leading and trailing end benders is nothing but adjusting A, B, C, and D to appropriate values.

  In this embodiment, the adjustment amount storage means 113 is stratified by steel type, plate thickness, plate width, and pass number as shown in FIG. 7, and an adjustment amount A for bender correction corresponding to each layer. , B, C, D are stored. As the initial values of A, B, C, and D, appropriate values are input according to empirical values. In FIG. 7, SUS304 steel grade, plate thickness 2.0-3.0, plate width 900mm, 1st pass, bender correction length A from the steel plate tip is 24m, bender correction amount B is 150ton, steel plate rear end It shows that the vendor correction range C is 14 m and the correction amount D is 120 tons.

  The maximum number of passes was set to 7 following the normal Steckel mill for stainless steel rolling, but a larger value may be required as the maximum number of passes for mills targeting high-strength materials. . At this time, it is only necessary to secure as many stratifications of the number of passes of the adjustment amount storage means 113 as necessary.

  The tip correction amount calculation means 114, the tip correction distance calculation means 115, the tip correction amount calculation means 116, and the tip correction distance calculation means 117 are extracted from the contents of the adjustment amount storage means 113 and the crown waveform obtained by the latest rolling. From the feature amounts Lt, Ut, Lb, Ub, A ′, B ′, C ′, D ′ of each pass used for the next rolling is calculated for each pass.

The basic calculation method is the same for both the front and rear ends. Paying attention to the crown undershoot amount, decrease the bender correction amount when the undershoot amount is large, and decrease the range of the crown transient state when there is no undershoot. Adjust the bender's correction range in the direction of decreasing.
In order to calculate A ′ to D ′, the calculation formulas executed by the tip correction amount calculation unit 114, the tip correction distance calculation unit 115, the tip correction amount calculation unit 116, and the tip correction distance calculation unit 117 are expressed by Equations 8 to 11. Is shown quantitatively.

  By obtaining A ′ to D ′, the bender correction amount ΔB1 (l) for the portion 1 in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate can be uniquely determined.

  FIG. 9 shows a processing procedure executed by the leading and trailing edge correcting means 105. In S9-1, the current rolling length l is fetched with respect to the vendor correction amount ΔB1 (l) for the steel plate length (l) calculated using the adjustment results A ′ to D ′ of the leading and trailing edge correction amount adjusting means 104. The corresponding ΔB1 (l) is calculated.

  In S9-2, the calculation result is output to the operation amount calculation means 130. The operation amount calculation unit 130 outputs a value obtained by adding ΔB1 (l) to the vendor value B0 output from the setup unit 102 to the control target 150 as the vendor setting value Bref. The calculated A ′ to D ′ are stored as new A to D for each corresponding layer of the adjustment amount storage means 113.

  In the present embodiment, the crown distribution and the bender operation amount are considered focusing on the distance from the steel plate tip, but it is also possible to focus on the rolling time after the steel plate 153 is caught in the work roll 160. Even in that case, the present invention can be applied in the same way. In this embodiment, the bender is considered as the operation end for controlling the crown, but it is also conceivable to use a cross angle and a bender together as the operation end. Even in this case, the present invention can be applied in the same manner.

  Next, Example 2 of the present invention will be described. The load increases when the steel plate 153 is bitten into the mill 151 and the tail is removed. When the load increases, the crown increases correspondingly. Therefore, it is effective to detect the increase in load and cancel the increase in the crown by the bender in order to obtain a uniform crown in the steel plate length method. is there.

  FIG. 10 shows a configuration in the case where a load correction function is provided in addition to the leading and trailing edge correction means 105 shown in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, load receiving means 1001 and load correcting means 1002 are provided, and the bender is corrected according to the detected load. However, in FIG. 10, only the front and rear end correction means 105 is shown, and the front and rear end correction specification adjusting means 104 and the crown receiving means 110 are omitted.

  FIG. 11 shows the processing executed by the load correction means 1002. In S11-1, the load correction means 1002 calculates the load fluctuation using the actual load value of the work roll 160 of the mill 151 and the value assumed in the setup received by the load receiving means 1001. In step S11-2, the vendor correction amount ΔB2 corresponding to this is output. ΔB2 is calculated by Equation 12.

  However, β1: Gain, Pset: Load assumed in the setup calculation, Pact: Actual load taken from the controlled object 150 each time.

  From Equation 12, the load variation can be calculated in the form of deviation from the assumed load at the time of setup calculation. As a result of the calculation, when the actual load is large, the increase in the crown is suppressed by correspondingly increasing the vendor. The manipulated variable calculation means 130 outputs a value obtained by adding ΔB2 to B0 in addition to ΔB1 (l) to the controlled object 150 as a vendor setting value Bref.

  Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. In the steel plate 153 rolled by the stickel mill, the crown has a large value because the steel plate temperature at the front and rear ends is low. In order to obtain a uniform crown in the steel plate longitudinal method, it is effective to detect a decrease in temperature and cancel the increase in the crown accompanying this by the bender.

  FIG. 12 shows a configuration when a plate temperature correction function is provided in addition to the leading and trailing edge correction means 105 shown in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, plate temperature detecting means 1201 and plate temperature correcting means 1202 are provided. The plate temperature receiving means 1201 receives the temperature of the steel plate 153 detected from the thermometer 1200. The plate temperature correcting unit 1202 corrects the bender based on the plate temperature received by the plate temperature receiving unit 1201.

FIG. 13 shows processing executed by the plate temperature correction means 1202. In S13-1, the plate temperature correcting means 1202 calculates the temperature fluctuation using the actual steel plate temperature value received from the plate temperature receiving means 1201 and the steel plate temperature assumed in the setup. In step S13-2, a vendor correction amount ΔB3 corresponding to this is output.
ΔB3 is calculated by Equation 13.

  However, γ1: Gain, Tset: Load assumed in the setup calculation, Tact: Actual temperature taken from the thermometer 1200 each time.

  In Equation 13, the fluctuation amount of the steel sheet temperature is calculated in the form of a deviation from the assumed temperature at the time of setup calculation. When the actual temperature is lower than the assumed temperature, the increase in crown is suppressed by increasing the bender according to the degree. The operation amount calculation means 130 outputs a value obtained by adding ΔB3 to B0 as the vendor setting value Bref to the control object 150.

  In this embodiment, the temperature correction amount is added to the bender's leading and trailing edge correction amount. However, a configuration in which Bref is calculated by further adding the load correction amount and adding B0, ΔB1 (l), ΔB2 is also considered. It is done. In this case as well, appropriate adjustment of each gain is necessary, but the present invention can be applied in the same way.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, rolled crown data is stored for a plurality of steel plates, and these are used comprehensively to perform vendor correction.

  FIG. 14 shows a configuration of a crown control device according to the fourth embodiment.
