The operation of this device is roughly divided into two operations. For the purpose of obtaining a predetermined material without causing a defective shape of the hot steel plate, it is necessary to set the cooling device until the cooling target material reaches the cooling device and improve the accuracy of the setting operation. The purpose is learning after cooling.

First, the setting of the cooling device will be described.

The rolling control computer 31 uses the hot steel plate 1 to be cooled.
Of actual rolling, that is, the temperature before the final finishing rolling entered by the finishing rear surface thermometer 11 (hereinafter abbreviated as finishing temperature)
The actual results such as actual results, plate thickness, plate width, etc. are output, and the cooling control computer 30 performs designated calculation for estimating the temperature of each part of the hot steel plate 1 immediately before the cooling device 7. This estimation calculation uses the upper surface temperature (finishing temperature) of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 immediately before the start of the final finishing rolling input by the rolling control computer 31 or the target finishing temperature input by the business computer 32, which will be described later, as an initial value. 10 divisions of the total thickness in a typical
From the final finishing rolling to the cooling device 7 with 11 points as calculation points
The temperature transition to the entry side of is carried out by solving the one-dimensional heat conduction difference equation. Although the representative point is performed for one point in the longitudinal direction of the plate, three points are set for the leading end portion, the central portion, and the tail end portion in the conveyance direction by providing a difference in the calculated predicted arrival time of each part in consideration of the plate length. is doing. In addition, when performing this calculation, the temperature change due to heat conduction, the effect of the temperature change due to the final finishing rolling of the finish rolling mill 5, the transformation, the effect of the temperature change due to the hot straightening device 6 and the like are taken into consideration.

Further, the business computer 32 instructs the cooling, that is, the lower surface water amount for each zone in the target finishing temperature cooling device 7, the target cooling start temperature when the hot steel plate 1 enters the cooling device 7, the hot steel plate 1 is the cooling device 7. Outputs the target cooling stop temperature, the number of used zones, the information on the material composition regarding the plate, the plate thickness, the plate width, the plate length, etc. when the data is output from the computer, and the cooling control computer 30 inputs these data, Predetermined standard operating values are determined for each strip width, cooling stop temperature, average bottom surface water volume, and usage zone.

This operation standard value is composed of an initial value when calculating an appropriate water and sewer ratio that keeps the amount of warp of the steel sheet in the width direction after cooling to an allowable value or less, and various mask amounts. The water amount ratio is defined by the following formula, and the upper surface water amount can be determined by determining the lower surface water amount and the upper and lower water amount ratio.

This is based on the following concept. In order to control the material properties of the coolant (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, etc.), temperature control is necessary.
Determine the plate temperature drop characteristics in the cooling device. On the other hand, in order to make the plate shape flat, it is desirable to make the temperature distribution in the plate thickness direction vertically symmetrical during cooling, and it is necessary to determine the upper surface water amount according to the lower surface water amount. Therefore, the ratio of sewage volume was adopted as a parameter.

Then, the cooling control computer 30 performs the cooling device inlet side temperature estimation calculation, the learning result obtained by the initial value of the water and sewage ratio given by the calculation result and the operation standard value determined and the temperature learning calculation described later. Based on the result, plate temperature estimation calculation is performed. Then, the stress-strain estimation calculation is performed based on the calculation result of the plate temperature estimation calculation and the learning result of the stress-strain learning calculation described later. Since this stress-strain estimation calculation is complicated, details of this calculation will be described later. Next, the cooling control computer 30 calculates the optimum up-down ratio of the amount of cooling water injected from the nozzles arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the cooling device 7, based on the result obtained by the stress-strain estimation calculation. The amount of water to be jetted from the nozzles arranged on the upper surface of the cooling device 7 is determined by determining the optimum ratio, and the calculation result is output to the cooling water amount control device 38. Further, based on the result obtained by the plate temperature estimation calculation, the setting calculation of the optimum plate passing speed when the hot steel plate 1 is passed through the cooling device 7 is performed. The calculation result of the optimum strip passing speed is output to the strip passing speed control device 40, and the hot steel plate 1 is transported inside the cooling device 7 at a speed based on the calculation result.

On the other hand, the cooling control computer 30, based on the operation standard value, determines the mask amount of the steel plate front end, tail end and side end,
This mask amount is output to the mask control device 37. The control of the mask amount is performed to correct the difference in the cooling condition between the peripheral portion of the hot steel plate 1 and the other portions, and by this correction, the same applies to any portion of the hot steel plate 1. Will be cooled. Since the determination of the mask device and the mask amount is not a control closely related to the present invention, the detailed description of the determination will be omitted hereinafter.

Next, the learning performed after cooling the hot steel plate 1 will be described.

The cooling data learning computer 36 sends information about the plate such as components and the finishing rear surface thermometer 11 from the business computer 32.
The actual temperature of the hot steel plate 1 on the rear surface of the finishing rolling mill 5 detected by the rolling control computer 31 is input, and the inlet plate temperature measurement calculation of the cooling device 7 is performed. Also,
The computer 36 for cooling data learning calculation uses the optical fiber thermometer pair 20 at the inlet of the cooling device 7 to detect the actual upper and lower surface temperature difference of the hot steel plate 1 at the inlet side of the cooling device 7 and the cooling detected by the thermometer 13 at the front face of the cooling device. The inlet side temperature learning is calculated based on the upper surface temperature of the hot steel plate 1 on the inlet side of the device 7 and the measured value of the above-mentioned plate temperature setting calculation, and the learning result is obtained by the cooling control computer 30 at the time of setting. It will be used when setting calculation.

Next, the cooling data learning computer 36 uses the actual strip speed set by the strip speed control device 40, the actual water amount on the upper and lower surfaces set by the cooling water amount control device, and the cooling detected by the cooling device front surface thermometer 13. The actual temperature of the hot steel plate 1 on the inlet side of the device 7 and the actual temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the hot steel plate 1 on the inlet side of the cooling device 7 detected by the optical fiber thermometer 20 at the inlet of the cooling device are input, and the plate under water cooling is input. Perform temperature estimation calculation. In addition, the cooling data learning calculation computer 36 uses the actual temperature of the hot steel plate 1 on the outlet side of the cooling device 7 detected by the cooling device rear surface thermometer 14 and the optical fiber thermometer 21 to 21 arranged inside the cooling device 7. Temperature learning calculation is performed based on the actual difference between the upper and lower surface temperatures of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 during cooling between the 23 zones and the estimated value of the above-described sheet temperature estimation calculation. This learning result will be used for the plate temperature estimation calculation when the cooling setting is performed by the cooling control computer 30. Then, the cooling data learning control computer 36 performs stress strain estimation calculation based on the temperature estimation result during cooling obtained by the temperature learning calculation.

On the other hand, the shape data processing computer 34 inputs the shape data of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 after cooling detected by the shape meter 15,
How much the shape deviates from the ideal shape is calculated. The cooling data learning control computer 36 performs stress strain learning calculation based on the displacement calculated by the shape data processing computer 34 and the stress strain obtained by the stress strain estimation calculation. The learning result obtained by this learning calculation will be used in the stress-strain estimation calculation by the cooling control computer 30 at the time of setting. Also,
The cooling data learning control computer 36 corrects the vertical value initial value of the standard value based on the deviation between the actual shape and the ideal shape calculated by the shape data processing computer 34, and this corrected value is set at the time of setting. Computer 30 for cooling control
It will be used to determine the operating standard value in.

Thus, the cooling control device for a hot-rolled steel sheet according to the present invention, first, before the hot steel sheet 1 is conveyed to the cooling device 7,
Estimating the plate temperature and plate shape during cooling, determining the plate passing hardness and the upper and lower surface cooling water amount in the cooling device 7, the cooling stop temperature becomes a preset temperature, so that a predetermined material is obtained, In addition, while the setting control of the cooling device is performed so that the shape becomes an ideal shape, learning calculation is performed based on the actual data of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 after cooling, and this learning result is used for subsequent manufacturing of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1. In consideration of the data at the time, the quality and the like are managed by closed loop control.

The cooling control device for a hot-rolled steel sheet according to the present invention configured as described above operates as follows based on the flowcharts shown in FIG. 6 and subsequent figures. Incidentally, in the explanation of this flowchart, the explanation of the matters already explained above will be omitted.

First, the cooling setting calculation calculated before the hot steel plate 1 is conveyed to the cooling device 7 will be described with reference to FIG.

The cooling setting calculation is started at the start of finish rolling of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 to be cooled (finish rolling is normally performed a plurality of times), immediately before the end of finish rolling, and at the timing when the data input / output device 33 corrects the data. First, the cooling control computer 30
Determines whether the finish rolling of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 to be set has been performed before the final finishing rolling, and if the timing is earlier than the final finishing rolling, the target finishing temperature sent from the business computer 32 is set to the finishing temperature. At the timing after the final rolling, the actual finishing temperature detected by the finishing rear surface thermometer 11 and input by the rolling control computer 31 is determined as the finishing temperature. Also, this judgment is made by the computer for cooling control.
This is performed depending on whether or not the rolling control computer 31 has input to 30 (step 1). Next, the cooling control computer 30 performs estimation calculation of the temperature of the hot steel plate 1 on the inlet side of the cooling device 7 (step 2), and the business computer 32.
The operation standard value (the initial value of the water / sewage ratio, the mask amount) is determined based on the various data and the corrected standard value output from (step 3). Next, the cooling control computer 30 uses the temperature of the hot steel plate 1 on the input side of the cooling device 7 and the initial ratio of the upper and lower ratios determined in step 3 to perform a simple plate temperature estimation calculation and carry out the running speed of the hot steel plate 1.

Based on the result of the stress-strain estimation calculation, the optimum up-down ratio of the amount of cooling water from the upper and lower surfaces of the cooling water for which the stress-strain is to be minimized is calculated (step). And a computer for cooling control
In step 30, the plate temperature in the final cooling zone calculated in step 5 is compared with the target cooling stop temperature input by the business computer 31 to perform the correction calculation of the strip running speed (step 6). Result mask controller

A cooling learning calculation performed after cooling the hot steel plate 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The cooling data learning control computer 36 corrects the initial value of the vertical ratio in the operation standard value based on the actual ratio of vertical water amount and the actual warp amount (step 10). Next, the cooling data learning control computer 36 estimates the temperature of the hot steel plate 1 on the inlet side of the cooling device 7, and performs the inlet side temperature learning calculation from the estimated temperature and the actual temperature of the cooling device inlet side (step). 11). Then, the cooling data learning control computer 36 performs the plate temperature estimation calculation during cooling using the actual water amount and the actual strip temperature (step 12), and changes the estimated temperature and the actual cooling rear surface temperature and the actual upper and lower surface temperature. A temperature learning calculation during cooling is performed from the difference (step 13). Further, the cooling data learning control computer 36 uses the temperature learning value obtained in step 13 to calculate the temperature and the shape, compares them with the actual warp amount, and performs the shape learning calculation (step 14).

Next, the processing of each step of the main routine shown in FIG. 6 will be described in detail.

FIG. 8 is a subroutine flowchart of step 2 in the main routine.

This subroutine flowchart is a process for estimating the temperature of each part on the plate surface at the inlet side of the cooling device 7 while the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 is conveyed to the inlet side of the cooling device 7 before the start of final finishing rolling of the finishing rolling mill 5. It shows a procedure.

First, the cooling control computer 30 uses the finishing temperature determined in step 1 to determine the initial temperature distribution of 11 points in 10 divisions in the thickness direction of the hot steel sheet 1 by the following method.

The upper surface temperature is the finishing temperature. The temperature difference between the upper surface and the maximum plate temperature is given by the following formula.

ΔT = 33.8-3.63h (-0.0371 + 0.00528h) T _F However, ΔT: temperature difference between the upper surface and the maximum plate temperature h: plate thickness T _F : finishing temperature The lower surface temperature is the same as the upper surface temperature. Determined from the side temperature learning value.

T _L = T _F + K ₁ ξ (ΔTs con + ΔTs class) + K ₂ where T _L : Lower surface temperature ξ: Temperature conversion coefficient learning value ΔT _s : Inlet temperature upper / lower surface temperature difference learning value ξ, ΔT _s It will be described later in the description.

K ₁ , K ₂ : Adjusting elements, K ₁ = 1.0, K ₂ = 00 The radial temperature distribution satisfying the above conditions 1 to 3 is determined, and the temperature distribution in the plate thickness direction is determined.

FIG. 8 shows the determination method (step 20). Then, the cooling control computer 30 uses the time counter t for calculating the difference.
Is reset to 0 and started, and the plate temperature estimation difference calculation is started. This plate temperature estimation difference calculation is based on the initial temperature distribution state obtained in step 20,
This is carried out by solving the one-dimensional heat conduction difference equation shown in the following equation, using 11 points of the total thickness divided into 10 points at the representative points on the plate as calculation points (steps 21 and 22).

Conversion from plate temperature T to heat content Q T> 880Q = 3.333 + 0.16T T ≦ 880Q = 149.05 + 0.481 ・ T-1.68 × 10 ^-4・ T ² Q (i) _t ; Heat content of element i at time t T (i) _t ; Same temperature display Δt; Time interval for difference calculation (= const, 150 msec) ρ; Density λ; Thermal conductivity of element i Tg ; Air temperature ΔQ _s ; Boundary condition Δx; Plate thickness division thickness Heat content Q to temperature T conversion (heat content; specific heat integrated from O to T) Q> 144.13 T = −20.8 + 6.25 × Q 0 <Q ≤144.13 Since the method of giving ρ and λ is well known, detailed description will be omitted.

When the representative point reaches the finish rolling mill 5 when the final reduction is performed (step 23), the amount of heat generated by rolling is added. This amount of heat is the sum of plastic working heat, friction heat, and roll heat removal. The calculation formulas for these heats are also known formulas shown below.

When the cooling control computer 30 determines that it is the time when the representative point reaches the hot straightening machine 6 based on the integrated time of the timer started in step 21 (step 25), the hot straightening machine 6 Add heat of temperature drop due to passage, that is, heat removal (step 2
6). The heat removal amount is shown below.

HL heat removal addition 1) HL heat removal ΔTHL; Temperature drop due to passing HL (heat removal amount) Next, at the time when the tip of the hot steel plate 1 arrives at the cooling device 7, the cooling control computer 30 stores the temperature of the tip of the hot steel plate 1 (steps 27 and 28), and the center of the hot steel plate 1 is stored. At the time when the parts reach the cooling device 7, the cooling control computer 30 stores the temperature of the central part of the hot steel plate 1 (steps 29, 30), and the tail end of the hot steel plate 1 reaches the cooling device 7. When the time comes, the cooling control application computer 30 stores the temperature of the tail end of the hot steel plate 1 (steps 31, 32).
The arrival time of each part is determined based on the transport distance and the transport speed plate length. The integrated time of the timer for catching the moving position of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 as time is integrated with the time interval of Δt (step 33). Δt is 0.
It is about 1 sec. Then, the transformation heat is added to the temperature of each of the stored representative points. This addition of transformation heat is performed by comparing the calculated surface temperature of the central part with the Ar3 transformation point.

First, the Ar ₃ transformation temperature (Tar ₃ ) is calculated by the following formula.

_{Tar 3 = B 6 + B 7} [C] + B 8 [Si] + B 9 [Mn] + B 10 [Ni] + B 11 [Cu] + B 12 [V] B 6 = 868, B 7 = -396, B 8 = 24.6 , B ₉ = −58.7, B ₁₀ = −50, B ₁₁ = 35, B ₁₂ = 190, [C], [Si], [Mn], [Ni], [Cu], [V] are

Operating standard values predetermined by the plate width, the target cooling start temperature, the cooling stop temperature, the number of zones used in the cooling device 7, the lower surface water amount of each zone, which are input from the business computer 32, that is, the upper and lower sides of each zone. Determine the water volume ratio, side edge mask volume, tip mask volume, and tail mask volume. The ratio of the amount of water supplied to each zone becomes a search initial value for the optimum calculation of the ratio of vertical ratio performed in step 5.

Next, FIG. 10 shows a subroutine flow chart of the plate passing speed setting calculation of step 4 in the main flow chart shown in FIG. This sub-routine flowchart is for determining the optimum plate passing reaction degree of the hot steel plate 1 in the cooling device 7. The cooling control computer 30 calculates the average amount of water used in the cooling device 7 as follows (step 40).

Q _lav : Lower surface average cooling water volume (m ³ / m ² minutes) Q (i); i zone lower surface water volume (m ³ / m ² minutes) L _Z (i); i zone cooling length (m) N _Z ; Use zone the number, however, L _z (i) is in a cooling zone does not flow water L _z (i)

The upper surface average cooling amount is calculated by the following formula.

Q _uav ; Top-surface average cooling water amount (m ³ / m ² · min) η _o (i); Water-to-water ratio initial value Next, the cooling control computer 30 calculates the cooling water on the inlet side of the cooling device 7 calculated in step 2. The required cooling time tc and the temperature / time influence coefficient when the hot steel sheet 1 is cooled to the target cooling stop temperature with this average amount of water with respect to the temporary temperature of the central portion are obtained.
The temperature is calculated by the one-dimensional difference formula. The calculation is shown below.

And. The strip speed is calculated based on the cooling time and the total length Lzone of the use zone. Vcc = Lzone / tc Vcc strip speed (step 42). The strip running speed calculated by the above calculation is a speed determined on the assumption that the amount of water is constant in all zones, and thus is a rough determination.

Next, FIG. 9 shows a sub-routine flow chart for determining the optimum water / sewer ratio in step 5 in the main flow chart shown in FIG. This sub-routine flowchart is a routine for performing a process for calculating the temperature and plate shape transitions in the cooling device 7 and determining the water / water flow ratio that minimizes the warp in the plate width direction for each cooling zone. Specifically, since the warp in the plate width direction occurs due to the asymmetric distribution of the thermal stress in the plate width direction due to the temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces, the cooling stress on the outlet side of the cooling zone is determined for each cooling zone. The amount of warp in the plate width direction is estimated, and the amount of warp in the upper and lower surfaces for minimizing the warp in the plate width direction in the cooling zone, that is, for making the above-mentioned thermal stress symmetrical in the plate thickness direction is determined.

First, the cooling control computer 30 obtains the exit side passage time of each cooling zone in the central portion by using the already determined strip passing degree (step 50). Then, the cooling control computer 30 sets t = 0 when the calculation target point reaches the entrance side of the cooling device 7, and at the same time sets the value of the counter Z for counting the number of cooling zones to 1 (steps 51, 52). ).
Next, the cooling control computer 30 sets input conditions. The input conditions are the inlet side set temperature of the zone, the stress in the plate width direction, the plate width, and several kinds of water and sewer ratios provided before and after the standard operating water and sewer ratio (step 53).
Then, the plate temperature estimation calculation is performed in the same manner as the entrance side temperature estimation process of FIG. 7, the plate temperature estimation calculation of each representative point in the zone is performed, and the plate shape estimation calculation is performed.
This shape estimation calculation will be described later in detail, but is performed based on the one-dimensional thermoelastic-plasticity formula. These plate temperature estimation calculation and shape estimation calculation are performed at predetermined time intervals,
The process is repeated until the representative point leaves the cooling zone (steps 54 to 57). Then, the optimum water and wastewater ratio of the cooling zone obtained up to step 57 is calculated, the value of the counter Z is incremented by 1, and the process returns to step 53. And
When the calculated number of cooling zones becomes equal to the number of zones n determined by the operation standard value determination processing, the process returns to the main routine (steps 58-60).

In this way, in this subroutine, the amount of warp in the plate width direction on the exit side of each zone is estimated on the entrance side of each zone, and the optimum water and sewer flow rate ratio that minimizes the amount of warp in the plate width direction in the zone is calculated. .

FIG. 12 is a subroutine flowchart of the shape estimation calculation shown in FIG. The calculation is performed for each time step Δt used in the cooling calculation in order to consider the temperature change with time in each part in the plate thickness direction. Now, suppose that the amount of warp in the plate width direction at the time is obtained.

The cooling control computer 30 uses a linear expansion coefficient of the hot steel plate 1,
Calculate physical properties such as Young's modulus and yield stress (step
61). Since the stress state at time t-t at time t is known, this stress is converted to a point on the stress-strain line. This conversion is for temperature compensation because the stress-strain diagram changes due to the temperature change of the hot steel plate 1 (step 62). Here, the stress-strain relationship is σ ≦ E, which is known in the elastic range.・ In the range of ε plasticity To do.

σ: stress ε: strain E: Young's modulus with respect to temperature at time t σγ ₁ , εγ: yield stress with respect to temperature at time t ₁ , yield strain, εγ: (σγ / E) Next, the cooling control computer 30 is a steel plate. In the thickness direction
It is divided into 10 parts, and the following simultaneous equations are created for each of the divided elements (i = 1 to 10) based on the values obtained in the above steps.

Where ΔP (i, t): time t for the i-th element from the top
Internal force increased from −Δt to time t A: Cross-sectional area of element E (i, t): Young's modulus of temperature i of the i-th element at time t from the top PL (i, t−Δt): From top Time t-Δ of i-th element
Length at t Δε _T (i, t): Time t−Δt of the i-th element from the top surface
Strain (temperature change X-ray expansion coefficient) X (i) from the plate thickness center to the thickness center of the i-th element from the upper surface E (t); plate at time t Young's modulus for the average temperature in the thickness direction BH: Thickness of each element ρ (t−Δt): radius of curvature of steel sheet at time t−Δt In the above equation, if the element i is plasticized, (σ / σγ) = (ε instead of E (i, t) / Εγ) ⁿ obtained from dρ / dε = nσγ · (ε / εγ) ⁿ⁻¹ · 1 / εγ.

Equation (2) is If i = 2 to n in the equation (2 '), simultaneous equations of n = -1 are obtained.

The coefficient of ΔP (i, t) in the equation (2 ′) is set to C (i, 1), C (i,
2), ... C (i, n) and the right side is D (i), i = 2
Equation (2 ') for n is Also, from the balance of forces in the plate thickness direction, ΔP (1, t) + ΔP (2, t) + …… + ΔP (n, t) = 0 (3) Matrix display [K] ・{P} = {F} (4) In equation (4) Regarding the solution of this system of simultaneous equations, the system of simultaneous equations is expressed as a matrix for ΔP (i, t) as shown below,
Below [K] matrix, shape matrix, {P}
Is called a stress increment matrix, and [F] is called a strain matrix. Then, based on the shape matrix obtained in step 63, the stress calculation due to thermal strain is calculated. In this stress calculation, the inverse matrix [K] ^-1 of [K] is calculated according to a general matrix solution method, and the stress increment {P} is calculated from {P} = [1k] ^-1. The previous stress calculated for every minute is added (step 64). Next, it is determined whether each element is elastic or plastic based on the stress, and if plastic, the stress value is the yield stress value,
Redetermine the stress of each element. Here, when plasticizing from elasticity, and when it is elasticized from plasticity, it is strictly necessary to perform a convergence calculation for stress-strain, but in the present invention, by reducing the calculation time step, the convergence calculation is omitted, The calculation time is shortened.

In addition, the stress of each element is redetermined, and the stress-strain relational expression Further, the mechanical strain at time t is obtained, and the length (that is, the plate width) of each element at time t is obtained together with the previously obtained thermal strain.

Further, the cooling control computer 30 calculates the plate width direction warp amount of the hot steel plate 1 based on the above calculation result.

The calculation of the warp amount is performed on the exit side of each zone.

Here, the warp amount in the plate width direction and the warp direction in which the plate asymmetry in the plate thickness direction in the plate width direction obtained above are canceled out are obtained by the following formula.

FIG. 13 is a subroutine flow chart of the plate passing speed correction calculation shown in step 6 of the main flow chart described in FIG. In this plate passing speed correction calculation, the plate passing speed roughly determined in step 4 is evaluated and corrected as necessary.

First, the cooling control computer 30 calculates the average plate temperature estimated value Tlast at the outlet side of the final water cooling zone of the cooling device obtained in step 5 of the main routine, and the business computer 3
2 is compared with the target cooling stop temperature Taim output from step 2 (step 80), and it is determined whether the absolute value of this temperature difference is larger or smaller than the allowable deviation amount ε (step 81).
℃. When this temperature difference is smaller than the allowable deviation amount, the acceleration rate is calculated so that the temperatures of the tip, center, and tail portions of the hot-rolled steel sheet 1 having a considerable length match when exiting the cooling device 7. (Step 82). On the other hand, when the temperature difference is equal to or more than the allowable deviation amount, the correction calculation of the required strip passing speed is performed. This modified calculation is shown in the following formula.

V = l zone / [Kv · (Tlast-Taim) / (dT / dt) + tc] Kv; coefficient = 0.6 dT / dt; temperature-time influence coefficient The speed obtained by this modified calculation is the optimum top / bottom ratio setting calculation ( Repeat step 5). However, the correction is made within 5 times, and if the condition is not satisfied even after 5 times of correction, step 82 is performed.

FIG. 13 is a subroutine program in step 82 shown in FIG.

This calculation of the acceleration rate is performed so that the entire surface of the hot steel plate 1 is brought to a uniform temperature on the outlet side of the cooling device 7.

First, the cooling control computer 30 calculates the temperature of the inlet side of the cooling device 7 in each of the longitudinal direction, the tip, the center, and the tail end of the hot steel plate 1 in the inlet temperature setting calculation in step 2. Then, the cooling control computer 30 calculates the required cooling time in the cooling device 7 at each of the tip and tail portions from the required cooling time of the central portion used in step 5 of the hot steel plate 1, and based on this required cooling time. Calculate the strip speed pattern. The formula for cooling time is shown below. (Step 90).

t _m ＝ l zone / Vcc t _t ＝ t _m ＋ (φ / Vcc) ・ (Tt−Tm) t _b ＝ t _m ＋ (φ / Vcc) ・ (Tb−Tm) φ: Coefficient t _t ; Cooling of tip Required time t _b ; Tail end cooling required time t _m ; Central part required cooling time Vcc; Final determined strip speed l zone; Effective cooling zone length (sum of cooling zones for water cooling) Tt; Tip Cooling device inlet plate temperature (thickness direction average value) Tm; Tail end cooling device inlet side plate temperature (thickness direction average value) Tb; Central part cooling device inlet side plate temperature (thickness direction average value) A strip speed pattern satisfying the cooling time at each point is calculated. The sheet passing speed is given as a set of the data of the position of the plate leading edge and the conveying speed.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the position of the plate tip is x and the transport speed at this time is V (x), point A on the plate at the cooling device inlet at that time, in other words, x rearward from the plate tip. The water cooling time at the point is Given in.

Next, the water cooling times t _t , t _m , and t _b at the tip, the center, and the tail end are obtained by the following equations.

L: plate length V (x) = 1 / (ax ² + bx + c), and substituted into the above three equations to obtain a, b, c.

The acceleration range (domain of x) is defined by the following formula.

0 ≦ x ≦ L + l zone + Δl c ₂ L; plate length l zone; effective cooling zone length Δl c ₂ ; extra complex (= const) From the above, x is appropriately determined within the defined acceleration range V
By substituting into the expression (x), the position of the plate front end and the transport set (speed pattern) at that time are created (step 91). Then, the calculation result is output to the strip passing speed control device 40.

In this way, the acceleration rate is obtained because the hot steel plate 1 is cooled while being conveyed, and therefore the time at which the cooling device 7 enters the steel plate tip portion and the tail end portion differ. That is, since the cooling start temperature is different along the lengthwise direction of the steel sheet, the temperature after cooling is different between the tip end portion and the tail end portion, and the striping speed is set to make the product material uniform over the entire length. This is because it is corrected by increasing the speed toward the tail end.

The above is the cooling setting process performed until the hot steel plate 1 as the cooling target material reaches the cooling device 7, and the cooling control device for the hot-rolled steel plate according to the present invention has a learning function described later, Controlled cooling is always performed under optimal conditions. In this learning, two components as error components, that is, a continuous component (continuous term) that changes as the rolling of the finish rolling mill 5 progresses, and a peculiar change such as a sheet thickness characteristic are performed. Intrinsic components (layer-wise terms) are taken into consideration. In the above description of the setting calculation, what is described as the learning value is the sum of the continuous term and the stratified order. However, when calculating the learning value, it is actually impossible to separate these two types of terms accurately.
The distribution of error is fixed and the distribution ratio is an adjustment item.

FIG. 16 shows a flowchart for correcting the standard value of operation in order to improve the accuracy of the standard operation value (the initial value of the water / sewer ratio) in step 10 of FIG.

The shape data processing computer 34 inputs the plate shape detected by the shape meter 15 and calculates the actual warp amount in the plate width direction of the hot steel plate 1 based on the input plate shape data (steps 100 and 101). Then, the cooling data learning calculation computer 36 calculates an operation standard value based on these data, that is, a new upper / lower ratio initial value for each zone, and updates the operation standard value. In this update, it is assumed that the warp amount in the plate width direction is proportional to the vertical ratio in the vicinity of the optimum value, and the vertical ratio is corrected. However, if the actual amount in the plate width direction is within the reference value (3 mm), this correction is not performed. The calculation formula is shown below (step 102).

η ₀ (i) new = η ₀ (i) old + Δη (i = 1 to ηus
e) Δη = K ₁ (Cr-Cair) where η ₀ (i) new; updated upper / lower ratio initial value η ₀ (i) old; before upper / lower ratio ratio initial value Δη; upper / lower ratio correction value ηuse; actual Final use zone No. Cr; Actual C amount of warp Cair; Target C amount of warp K ₁ ; Correction coefficient (= −0.01) Next, learning of the inlet temperature of the cooling device 7 in step 11 in the main flowchart of FIG. Will be described with reference to FIG.

The learning of the inlet side temperature of the cooling device 7 is performed for the purpose of improving the accuracy of the inlet side temperature estimation calculation of the cooling device 7,
An inlet-side temperature correction value for correcting the inlet-side absolute temperature value of the cooling device 7 and a finish-rolling upper / lower surface temperature difference correction value for correcting the temperature distribution in the sheet thickness direction on the inlet side of the cooling device are calculated. It is a thing.

First, the inlet temperature estimation calculation is performed. This calculation is performed by the same formula as the input temperature estimation calculation in the above step. However,
The learning value is as follows.

Temperature conversion coefficient: Data used when calculating the setting of the material.

Entry temperature upper / lower surface temperature difference learning value; data used when setting calculation of the material.

Cooling device inlet side temperature learning value; data used when setting calculation of the material.

Calculated as calculation result Cooling device inlet side upper surface temperature Tcal (1)
And the temperature difference ΔTincal between the upper and lower surfaces is obtained (step 110).

Next, the learning value is updated. First, the inlet temperature correction value is updated according to the following formula (step 111).

ΔTu _IN = Treal (1) -Tcal (1) ΔTucon _N = g ₁ · ΔTucon _O + g ₃ · (1-g ₁ ) ΔTu _IN ΔTuclas _N = g ₂ · ΔTuclas _O + (1-g ₃ ) (1-g ₂ ) ΔTu _IN However, ΔTu _IN ; CLC inlet side upper surface temperature estimation error Treal (1); CLC inlet side thermometer actual measurement surface component Tcal (1); CLC inlet side plate temperature estimated value surface component ΔTucon _N , ΔTucon _O ; New and old CLC inlet temperature correction value continuous term (after and before update) ΔTuclas _N , ΔTuclas _O ; New and old CLC inlet temperature correction value stratified terms (after and before update) g ₁ , g ₂ ; Coefficient (0 ≦ g ₁ , g ₂ ≦ 1.0) g ₃ ; Coefficient (0 ≦ g ≦ 1) Next, the cooling device inlet side temperature upper and lower surface temperature learning value is updated according to the following equation (step 106).

_{ΔTs · con = g 5 · ΔTs} · con + g 7 · (1-g 5) · ΔT s CLC real ΔTs · Class = g 6 · ΔTs · class + (1-g 7) · (1-g 6) · ΔT _{s CLC real} ΔTs ・ con; upper and lower surface temperature difference learning term (continuous term) ΔTs ・ class; upper and lower surface temperature difference learning term (stratified term) ΔTs ClC real; upper and lower surface temperature difference on the CLC inlet side (measured at the CLC inlet side _{value) g 5, g 6, g} 7; factor upper and lower surfaces the temperature difference and the lower surface metal temperature - defined on the surface metal temperature.

Next, the temperature conversion coefficient is updated (step 113). However, ξ _N , ξ _O ; New and old of the temperature difference conversion coefficient between upper and lower surfaces (after updating and before) ΔT _{s FM set} ; Temperature difference between upper and lower surfaces before finishing 1 reduction (set as initial condition in learning calculation) ΔTS CLC cal Temperature difference between upper and lower surfaces on CLC inlet side (calculation result on CLC inlet side) g ₄ ; Update gain of upper and lower surface temperature difference conversion coefficient correction value Next, plate temperature during cooling in step 12 of the main flowchart of FIG. Estimate calculation subroutine flowchart
Shown in Figure 18.

First, the plate temperature distribution on the inlet side of the cooling device 7 is determined. That is, the cooling device front surface thermometer 13 and the optical fiber thermometer pair
The inlet side temperature distribution is determined using the actual value of 20.
This determination method is the same as the calculation of the initial temperature distribution in Step 20 described above, and is performed assuming that the temperature distribution in the plate thickness direction is radial, and the upper surface temperature is the actual measurement value of the inlet-side thermometer 13.

In addition, the temperature difference between the upper surface temperature and the maximum plate temperature should be
Using the formula for the temperature difference between the maximum plate temperature on the inlet side and the upper surface, which was obtained by calculating the initial temperature distribution of 20, the temperature difference between the upper surface and the lower surface is the actual upper and lower surfaces of the optical fiber thermometer vs. 20. The plate temperature distribution in the plate thickness direction is determined as the temperature difference (radiation is calculated) (step 120).

Next, the plate temperature transition calculation from the inlet side to the outlet side of the cooling device 7 is performed. This is to perform the plate temperature estimation calculation from the inlet side to the outlet side thermometer 18 of the cooling device 7 by using the model (calculation formula) used in the plate temperature estimation calculation in the above step 54 and the latest learned value. However, shape estimation calculation is not performed. Then, the following data are stored (step 121).

1. Upper surface estimated plate temperature Tucal (i); i at the exit side of each cooling zone
Corresponds to the cooling zone.

2. Lower surface estimated plate temperature TLcal (i); i at the outlet side of each cooling zone
Corresponds to the cooling zone.

3. Average value of the estimated upper and lower surface temperature on the outlet side of each cooling zone Taca
l (i).

4. Upper surface estimated plate temperature Tucal (Mz) under the outlet thermometer 18 5. Lower surface estimated plate temperature Tlcal (Mz) under the outlet thermometer 18 6. Upper and lower surfaces under the outlet thermometer 18 Average estimated plate temperature Tacal
(Mz) However, Mz = Nuse + 1, Nuse + number of actual use zones.

Next, the model error is calculated. All the plate temperature estimation errors of the model occur in the water cooling region, and in the air cooling region, it is considered that the plate temperature estimation errors accumulated by the water cooling are included as they are. A model estimation error is obtained using the upper and lower surface average plate temperature as a reference value (step 122).

Terror = Tmreal-Tacal (Mz) (29) Tmreal: Temperature measured by the rear surface thermometer of the cooling device Terror: Estimation error of the plate temperature by the rear surface thermometer of the cooling device.

Next, the model error is distributed. Although various methods can be considered for the error distribution method, in this embodiment, the simplest structure is adopted, and it is regarded as a level-up item for checking model behavior. The model error is assumed to increase in proportion to the water cooling time, and is given by the following equation. Further, the model estimation error at an arbitrary time t is ΔTE (t).

ΔTE (t) = Terrorit / tclcout (0 ≦ t ≦ tclcout) or Δ (TE (t) = Tterror (tclcout <t) .tclcout
Is the actual final cooling zone slip-out time. The exit side transit time of each zone is substituted into the above formula to calculate the model estimation error at the exit side of each zone. (Step 123).

ET (i) = ΔTE (tzoi) ET (i); Plate temperature estimation error at i-zone exit side tzoi; i-zone exit side transit time tclcout; Final use zone exit side transit time Next, determine the actual temperature transition. In this case, first, the actual temperature transition on the outlet side of each zone is obtained for the upper and lower surface points. The basic idea of determining the actual temperature transition is as follows.

1) It is considered that the temperature transition profile (time / temperature characteristic) of the model estimation is correct as a whole, and the actual temperature transition can be observed from the model estimated value and the model error.

2) Since the learning target is the heat transfer coefficient of the upper and lower surfaces, determine the temperature transition of the upper and lower surfaces (note the plate center and the average of all plates).

3) Actual upper and lower surface temperature transition is 21 with optical fiber thermometer
Express the upper and lower surface temperature difference measured in ~ 23.

Based on the upper and lower surface average plate temperature, the upper surface actual temperature change is calculated as (1/2) · (upper and lower surface average estimated value + model error-upper and lower surface temperature actual value), and the lower surface actual temperature change is (1 /
2) ・ (Estimated value of upper and lower surfaces + model error + actual value of upper and lower surfaces) These can be obtained by solving two equations of actual lower temperature + actual temperature = estimated average + model error actual lower temperature- actual upper temperature = actual upper and lower surface temperature difference.

Tur (i) = (1/2) ・ [Tacal (i) + ET (i) −DTr
(I)] Tlr (i) = (1/2) ・ [Tacal (i) + ET (i) −DTr
(I)] Tur (i); Actual temperature of upper surface of i-zone outlet Tlr (i); Actual temperature of lower surface of i-zone transfer DTr (i); Actual temperature difference of upper and lower surface of i-zone, where DTr (1) , DTr (2) does not have an optical fiber thermometer pair, so the cooling device inlet side optical fiber thermometer pair
The actual values of the 20th and 3rd zone output side optical fiber thermometers 21 are interpolated with respect to time to obtain (step 124).

Next, the cooling temperature learning calculation in step 12 of the main flowchart in FIG. 7 will be described.

First, the actual temperature transition obtained in step 124 is regarded as a true value, and the learning value is calculated so that the result of the plate temperature estimation calculation matches the actual temperature transition. The learning value is a correction value for the heat transfer coefficient of the upper and lower surfaces, and is held over the entire temperature range for the upper and lower surfaces. The learning value has an exponential type as shown in the above temperature calculation formula. First, the basic idea will be explained.

1) It is assumed that all the errors of the plate temperature estimation calculation are in the errors of the upper and lower surface heat transfer coefficient models, and the temperature model learning has the form of the correction value of the heat transfer coefficient. That is, the temperature is on the horizontal axis, the heat transfer coefficient is on the vertical axis (logarithmic display), and the base has a heat transfer coefficient curve (upper surface or lower surface). The heat transfer coefficient learning value is obtained, and the base heat transfer coefficient is obtained. The coefficient is corrected with the learning value, and this is set as the heat transfer coefficient for the next heat transfer calculation.

2) The problem of obtaining the learning value of the heat transfer coefficient is a non-linear identification problem, and it is impossible to analytically obtain the optimum value.
Therefore, a computer experiment is performed to search for a learned value such that the estimated plate temperature output by changing the input condition matches the actual plate temperature.

3) The above computer experiments are sequentially searched and calculated to obtain a learning value. However, there are two input variable conditions to be identified (upper surface correction method and lower surface correction method), and this becomes an optimization problem of the two-dimensional parameter.

FIG. 20 shows a subroutine flowchart for this temperature calculation. First, an outline will be described. Optimal heat transfer coefficient correction values [Lud (j), Lld (j)] are obtained for each zone. Lud
(J) and Lld (j) calculate the plate temperature transition of the zone with nine different condition settings, and the upper and lower surface temperatures at the exit side of the zone are the most significant difference between the actual value and the estimated value. Adopt small conditions. When the difference between the actual value and the estimated value is larger than the reference value, search again. This operation is carried out in all usage zones. Further, the temperature learning value is calculated for each cooling zone, but when the learning value is updated, the optimum correction value for each cooling zone is converted into the correction for each temperature range to update the learning value. It will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the correction value initial condition is set. A condition set of the heat transfer coefficient correction value for performing the retrieval calculation is performed (step 130).

Lua (i, j) = 1.0 + Δαu (i) (35) Lla (i, j) = 1.0 + Δαl (i) (36) Lua (i, j): top surface heat transfer coefficient correction for condition i in zone j value.
i = 1 to 9, j ≦ 6.

Lla (i, j): Lower surface heat transfer coefficient correction value under the condition i in the j zone.

Δαu (i): additional value under condition i (upper surface).

Δαl (i): additional value under condition i (lower surface).

Δαu (i): The values of Δαl (i) are shown in the following table and FIG.

Table Condition (i) Δαu (i) Δαl (i) 1 0 0 2 0 Δα 3 Δα Δα 4 Δα 0 5 Δα -Δα 6 0 -Δα 7 -Δα -Δα 8 -Δα 0 9 -Δα Δα where Δα: Heat transfer coefficient change (constant) Next, the plate temperature is estimated and calculated. For conditions = 1 to 9, plate temperature estimation calculation for the zone (j) is performed. The formula is
The total thickness is calculated using the same difference formula used in the plate temperature estimation calculation in step 121. However, instead of the learned value, the heat transfer coefficient correction values of Conditions 1 to 9 are used, and the shape estimation calculation is not performed.

For condition 1, Lua (i, j), Lla (i, j), ... Condition i
To, enter Lua (i, j), Lla (i, j) and use the inlet plate temperature and the actual water cooling time in common with all conditions. As a result, the calculation results of conditions 1 to 9 Tucal (1) to Tucal
(9), Tlcal (1) to Tlcal (9) are obtained. Tucal
(I); Upper surface plate temperature under condition i (outside of j zone) Tl
cal (i); lower surface plate temperature under condition i (outside of j zone) (step 131).

Next, the presence or absence of the optimum solution is determined. For the conditions 1 to 9, the following evaluation function value Ia (a) is calculated, and when there is a value whose evaluation function value is smaller than the reference value, it is determined that there is an optimum solution.

Ia (i) = [Tur (j) −Tucal (i)] ² + [Tlr (j) −Tlcal (i)] ² (37) When Ia (i) <Ist, it is determined that there is an optimal solution.

Ist is a temperature error squared reference value (= 100).

When it is determined that the optimum solution exists, the zone exit side plate temperature (next zone initial temperature) distribution is determined. The j-zone outlet side plate temperature under the condition i * that minimizes Ia (i) is set as the initial temperature distribution of the next zone (step 134).

Next, when it is determined that there is no optimum solution, the correction value search range is corrected. Search again around the minimum of Ia (i). The heat transfer coefficient correction value is set to the conditions 1 to 9 again. However, the search range is narrowed.

Lua (i, J) = Lua (l, J) + Δαu (i) (38) Lla (i, j) = Lla (k, J) + Δαl (i) (39) Δαu (i): Ka · Δαu (I) However, 1 is i (1: suboptimal condition) in which Ia (i) satisfies the minimum. Ka is a search range correction coefficient (0 <Ka <1) and is a constant. FIG. 22 shows the state of the search (step 133).

When the final zone is completed (step 135), the optimum learning value is updated next. The optimum correction value determined in step 134 is converted into an optimum learning value vector, and the optimum learning value vector and the old learning value vector are subjected to exponential smoothing in vector units to determine a new learning value.

B) Learning value vector shape The upper and lower surfaces have independent shapes. Each component corresponds to a learning value for each surface temperature range. It also has continuous terms and stratified terms.

Ludg = [Ludg (l), ... Ludg (j), ... Ludg (n)] ...
(40) Lldg = [Lldg (l), ... Lldg (j), ... Lldg (n)] ...
(41) Ludg (j); upper surface learning value for temperature range of steel plate surface temperature <TS (j), Lldg (j); lower surface learning value for temperature range of steel plate surface temperature <TS (j) The learning value is obtained as shown in.

(B) Conversion of the optimum correction value into the optimum learning vector.

Although the optimum correction value is calculated for each cooling zone, it is edited as a vector for each temperature. The relevant region of the surface temperature of each cooling zone is used as learning.

For the temperature range component at the boundary between the cooling zones, the average of both zones is taken as the learning value (the weighted average Ludg (j) * for the position of the temperature boundary value is taken). The area where there is no optimum correction value is 1.0.

Ludg * (j) = [Lud (k) * X {TS (j + 1) -Tur (k)] + Lud (k + 1) * X {Tur (k) -TS (j)}] / [TS (i + 1) -TS (J)] ... (40) i: temperature classification parameter k: cooling zone parameter Performed for each of the upper and lower surfaces. Repeat for each continuous and stratified item. FIG. 23 shows the relationship between the change in plate temperature and the calculated optimum correction value and optimum learning value.

C) Exponential smoothing.

In updating the learning value, exponential smoothing is performed in vector units.
This is done for each of the continuous and stratified terms.

Ludgcon (j) = (1-g ₈ ) Ludgcon + g ₈ · Ludge (j) * ... (41) Ludgclass (j) = (1-g ₉ ) Ludgcloss + g ₉ · Ludge (j) * ... (42) Lldgcon ( j) = (1-g ₉ ) Ludgcon + g ₈ · Lldge (j) * ... (43) Lldgclass (j) = (1-g ₉ ) Ludgcloss + g ₉ · Lldge (j) * ... (42) Ludgcon (j) Upper surface heat transfer coefficient learning vector of continuous term Ludgclass (j); upper surface heat transfer coefficient learning vector of stratified term Lldgcon (j); lower surface heat transfer coefficient learning vector of continuous term Lldgclass (j); lower surface heat transfer coefficient of stratified term Learning vector If a cooling zone occurs in which the actual and estimated temperatures do not converge when the optimal correction value is calculated, the optimal correction values for the cooling zones before that are valid and the subsequent zones are invalid. Updates are made only for valid zones.

Next, the stress-strain learning calculation in step 14 of the main flowchart of FIG. 7 will be described.

FIG. 24 is a subroutine flowchart of stress-strain learning calculation. This process is performed in order to improve the accuracy of stress strain estimation calculation.

The learning calculation is performed on the assumption that the error in the plate width direction warp amount estimated value is equal in each zone, and is in the form of correction of the plate width direction warp amount estimated value for each cooling zone.

First, the optimum learning value calculated by the temperature learning calculation described above is used, and the actual operation parameter is the actual value, and the temperature / shape estimation calculation is performed from the inlet side of the cooling device 7 to the bottom of the shape meter 15 to estimate the plate. Calculate the amount of warpage Ccal in the width direction (step 14
0).

Next, the shape meter calculated by the shape data processing computer 34
An estimated error ΔC _T of the warp amount in the plate width direction is calculated from the actual warp amount Creal in the plate width direction based on the actually measured shape (actual value) detected by 15 (step 141).

ΔC _T = Creal−Ccal The error ΔC (i) is distributed to each zone (step 14
2).

ΔC (i) = ΔC _T / Nuse (47) Nuse; Final use zo No. Next, the learning value is changed to the next ΔC (i) con and ΔC (i) class.
To update. The learning value is the continuous term ΔC (i) con and the stratified term Δ.
It has a C (i) class (step 133).

ΔC (i) con = (1-g ₁₂ ) ΔC (i) con + g ₁₂ · (1-g ₁₃ ) · ΔC (i) (48) ΔC (i) class = (1-g ₁₄ ) ΔC (i ) Class + g ₁₄ · g ₁₃ · ΔC (i) (48) B ₁₂ : Update gain of continuous term B ₁₃ : Update gain of stratified term B ₁₄ : Allocation gain of continuous term and stratified term As described above, the present invention Then, in the cooling process of the hot steel plate 1, the heat transfer coefficients of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate are matched with each other based on the amount of cooling water sprayed from the lower surface that is preset so as to obtain the cooling speed required for securing the material. As described above, the amount of cooling water jetted from the upper surface is obtained, and the amount of warpage in the plate width direction is controlled to be the minimum. Furthermore, since this control includes learning control, a desired material and shape can be easily obtained. It is possible to manufacture a steel plate that always has stable quality.

As shown in FIG. 25A (conventional cooling stop temperature accuracy record-target data) and FIG. 25B (cooling stop temperature accuracy record according to the present invention-target data), according to the present invention, It can be seen that there is much less variation in the accuracy of the cooling stop temperature compared to. Further, as shown in FIG. 26A (conventional plate width direction warp amount data) and FIG. 26B (plate width direction warp amount data), the present invention improves the plate width direction warp. I understand.

Further, although no specific numerical value is shown, along with the improvement of the warp in the plate width direction, the straightening rate, which indicates the degree to which the warp in the plate width direction should be corrected after the completion of cooling, was greatly reduced.

27A (conventional plate thickness direction hardness distribution) and FIG. 27B (plate thickness direction hardness distribution) show a conventional plate thickness direction hardness distribution state and a plate thickness direction hardness distribution state according to the present invention. Test results are shown.

As is apparent from this figure, the hardness difference between the upper and lower surfaces is extremely small, and it can be seen that uniform materials are obtained on the upper and lower surfaces.

28A (conventional plate width direction warped state) and FIG. 28B (plate width direction warped state) show the test results of the conventional C warped state and the plate width direction warped state of the present invention. It is shown.

As is apparent from this figure, the conventional maximum amount of C warpage was about 10 mm, but in the present invention, the maximum value is 1.5 m.
It is suppressed to about m. Therefore, a very flat shape can be obtained. 29A shows the water cooling start temperature in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate, FIG. 29B shows the water cooling end temperature in the longitudinal direction according to the conventional method, and FIG. 29C shows the water cooling end temperature in the longitudinal direction according to the present invention.

As is clear from this figure, according to the present invention, the temperature deviation in the longitudinal direction at the start of water cooling is improved and a uniform water cooling end temperature is obtained.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is clear from the above description, in the present invention, the temperature detecting means detects the temperature of the hot steel sheet before the start of the final finishing rolling, while the cooling start temperature calculating means detects the temperature by the temperature detecting means. Based on the temperature of the hot steel sheet was performed, in the case of not considering the Ar3 phase transformation, calculates the cooling start temperature of the hot steel sheet when cooling is started by the cooling device, and also by the phase transformation calculation means, Ar3 phase transformation start temperature and the amount of phase transformation heat generation are calculated from the components contained in the hot steel plate, and the phase transformation start temperature calculated by the phase transformation calculation means by the correction means is detected by the temperature detection means. When the temperature is between the temperature of the hot steel plate and the cooling start temperature of the hot steel plate calculated by the cooling start temperature calculating means, the phase transformation calculating means performs the operation. Since the cooling start temperature calculated by the cooling start temperature calculating means is corrected based on the calculated phase transformation calorific value, it becomes possible to accurately obtain the cooling start temperature of the hot steel sheet during cooling, The steel plate can be a desired material.
