Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a manufacturing system for planarizing and cutting a metal plate,

The present invention relates to a metal sheet manufacturing system for flattening a metal sheet and cutting the metal sheet to a desired length, and more particularly, to a system for manufacturing a metal sheet material that is wound in a coil form, To a required dimension.

A metal plate such as a steel plate or an aluminum plate is manufactured by rolling to have a predetermined thickness and width and a long length and is wound into a coil shape for transportation and supplied to the customer.

The coil-shaped metal rolling material fed in this way is loosened from the winding state, flattened again in accordance with the demand, and cut in the longitudinal direction according to the required dimensions.

Fig. 1 shows a conventional manufacturing facility 100 for flattening a metal plate to perform such a work and cutting it to a desired length dimension.

Referring to FIG. 1, a metal plate material supplied from a manufacturer of a metal plate is mounted on the uncoiler 110 in a coil state. The metal plate 101 is released from the uncoiler 110 and introduced into the first leveler 120. The first leveler 120 includes a plurality of upper and lower rollers arranged at regular intervals above and below, (101) is introduced and discharged, it is pressed and deformed by the upper and lower rollers and flattened.

The metal plate 101 discharged from the first leveler 120 is cut through the side surface of the metal plate through the loop table 130 which absorbs the difference in the feed speeds of the mechanisms constituting the manufacturing facility 100 And introduced into a side trimmer (140).

Since the metal plate 100 supplied by the manufacturer has defects such as shape or metal structure on the side surfaces thereof, the width of the metal plate 100 is formed to have a certain margin with respect to the required width dimension. The side section having the defect should be removed while being cut to the dimensions of the width appropriate to the demand in the apparatus 100.

The side trimmer 140 is composed of two rollers having two cutting edges that mesh with each other, and the side surface is continuously cut by the cutting edge while the metal plate 101 passes between the rollers.

The metal plate 101 whose side end face is cut at the side trimmer 140 and whose width is dimensioned is passed through the second leveler 150. The second leveler 150 has substantially the same configuration as that of the first leveler 120. The diameter of the upper and lower rollers is smaller than that of the first leveler 120 so that the curvature of the longitudinal direction remaining in the metal plate 101 And flattening the metal sheet to the quality level required by the demand by removing the uneven surface.

The metal plate 101 having passed through the second leveler 150 is introduced into the flying shear 150 and cut to a length required by the customer and is transported to the loading table 180 via the inspection apparatus 170. [ And transportation is carried out.

The metal plate 101 is held by the first leveler 120, the side trimmer 140 and the second leveler 140 in a continuous state in the conveying direction until the metal plate 101 is released from the uncoiler 110 and cut by the flying sheer 150. [ The leveler 150 and the like.

The first leveler 120, the side trimmer 140, and the second leveler 150 contact and press the metal plate 101 with the upper and lower rollers thereof, And they drive the rollers by the respective drive motors.

Therefore, the rollers that convey the metal plate 101 in the manufacturing facility 100 must transfer the metal plate 101 at exactly the same conveying speed to each other. However, in the control unit (not shown) of the manufacturing facility 100, Even if a control signal is transmitted to the motors that drive the respective rollers so that the linear velocity of the metal sheet is adjusted to the target conveying velocity of the metal plate, the actual conveying speed of the metal sheet is not adjusted to the target conveying speed according to the control signal.

Particularly, in the first leveler 120 and the second leveler 150, since the metal plate is plastically deformed while passing through the bent portion between the rollers, the controller controls the driving motor of each of the rollers in accordance with the conveying speed of the metal plate And there is a deviation in actual feed speed. If such a deviation of the conveying speed occurs, slippage occurs between the metal plate and the roller, resulting in defects such as scratching of the metal plate, and the flattening process of the metal plate is not smoothly performed and the quality is deteriorated.

In the conventional manufacturing system 100, the loop table 130 is placed between the first leveler 120 and the second leveler 150 to buffer the difference in the feeding speed of the metal sheet before and after the loop table 130, The metal plate 101 that has passed through the first leveler 120 has a shape that is elongated on the loop table 130. The metal plate 101 on the downstream side second leveler 150, The conveyance speed of the first leveler 120 is faster or slower than the conveyance speed of the first leveler 120.

Therefore, in the conventional manufacturing system 100, the facility cost is increased due to the arrangement of the loop table 130, and the length of the entire system becomes very long due to the space occupied by the loop table.

1, since the loop table 130 is provided between the first leveler 120 and the side trimmer 140, it is possible to prevent the gap between the side trimmer 140 and the second leveler 150 There is a problem that the deviation of the feed speed is not buffered.

On the other hand, the metal plate is wound in the form of a coil so that when uncoiler is unrolled, it has uneven bending and corrugation shape, and it receives planarization by receiving repetitive bending load between the rollers while passing through the leveler.

The leveler has a plurality of rollers arranged on the upper side and the lower side, respectively, and the upper roller and the lower roller are arranged in a zigzag shape, and a clearance of a certain thickness is formed therebetween. The metal plate is planarized while being subjected to repeated bending stresses by the upper and lower rollers while passing through the gap between the upper and lower rollers.

An example of such a leveler is disclosed in Patent Publication No. 10-1544556 (Document 1).

In the documents describing the leveler including the document 1, flattening of the metal plate as one level furnace is explained. In actual industrial sites, although depending on the specific material and the thickness of the metal plate, As shown in Fig. 1, two levelers are arranged to flatten the metal plate.

The metal plate having passed through one leveler has a certain level of flatness. However, in order to have a high flatness of the metal plate, two levelers having different diameter rollers are arranged, and the metal plate passes through one leveler After passing through the leveler at the downstream, it has high flatness.

Such planarization of the metal plate by the roller type level furnace can obtain the necessary flatness by adjusting the thickness of the plate material, the diameter of the roller, the pitch between the rollers, and the pressing force, etc., but the plate thickness and the pressing force, The diameter of the roller depending on the material has the greatest effect.

Therefore, in a system for flattening a metal plate, a leveler with rollers of appropriate diameter is arranged according to the thickness range of the plate to be processed, and a manufacturing system is constructed with a side trimmer or other device.

However, in the manufacturing system for flattening and cutting the metal plate having such a structure, only a metal plate of a certain thickness and material can be processed. In order to process a metal plate having a thickness exceeding a workable thickness, There is a problem that a manufacturing system having a leveler and a trimmer or a cutting device must be additionally constructed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing system that does not cause a deviation in the conveying speed of a sheet metal between the apparatuses in the system for manufacturing a sheet metal, taking into consideration the problems of the above- And to provide a manufacturing system that does not require a buffer of the plate material.

The above-described object of the present invention is achieved by a system for manufacturing a metal sheet material of the present invention, wherein the wound metal sheet material is planarized and cut to a desired length dimension.

The system for manufacturing a metal plate according to the present invention is an uncoiler in which a wound metal plate is mounted and the metal plate wound by rotation is uncoiled; Four levelers, each of which has a plurality of rollers whose axial directions are arranged in the width direction of the metal plate and which are in contact with the surface of the metal plate and exert stress, and are arranged in the conveying direction of the metal plate; A side trimmer disposed between the levelers for cutting a side surface of the metal plate; A conveying device disposed downstream of the levelers to convey the planarized metal sheet by the levelers; And a cutting device disposed downstream of the conveying device and cutting the flattened metal sheet to a required length, each leveler including upper rollers in contact with the upper surface of the sheet metal and a lower surface of the sheet metal in contact with the lower surface of the sheet metal And the metal plate is configured to be planarized by a repetitive bending stress due to the stress acting between the upper and lower rollers while passing through the metal plate between the upper and lower rollers, And the rollers of the levelers are in contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the metal plate in the conveying device and are in contact with the rotating speeds of the rollers for conveying the metal plate, The speed of rotation is adjusted accordingly.

According to the configuration of the present invention, in the manufacturing system according to the present invention, since the rotation speed of the rollers of the levelers is adjusted in accordance with the rotation speed of the rollers of the conveying device disposed at the end of the leveler, There is no need for a facility for buffering the deviation of the conveyance speed of the metal plate material.

Even if the leveler and the roller of the conveying device are driven in accordance with the target conveying speed of the metal plate, the rotational speed of the actual roller and the conveying speed of the metal plate are not adjusted to the set speed, Loop tables and buffers must be installed.

However, in the present invention, the conveying device for conveying the metal plate material at the leveler end is controlled to rotate in accordance with the conveying speed of the target metal plate, and each leveler adjusts the rotation speed of the conveying device in accordance with the actual rotation speed of the roller of the conveying device. A buffer such as a loop table is not required since the speed at which each leveler transports the metal plate, that is, the rotational speed of the levelers, is synchronized with the actual speed of the metal plate.

The conveying device may further comprise a control part for controlling the operation of the manufacturing system. The conveying device may be configured to contact the upper surface and the lower surface of the metal plate, And a sensor for measuring a rotation speed of the upper and lower rollers. The controller controls the upper and lower rollers so as to rotate the upper and lower rollers of the conveying device at a rotation speed corresponding to the conveying speed of the metal plate material to be set And controlling the rotation speed of the upper and lower rollers of each leveler according to the rotation speed of the upper and lower rollers of the conveyance apparatus measured by the sensor.

According to this specific aspect of the present invention, the actual conveying speed of the metal plate is calculated from the rotation speed of the upper and lower rollers of the conveyance apparatus measured from the sensor, and the upper and lower rollers of each leveler are rotated at a rotation speed corresponding to the actual conveyance speed . Therefore, the rollers constituting the manufacturing system of the present invention rotate in synchronism with each other in accordance with the feeding speed of the metal plate, so that the deviation of the feeding speed of the metal plate in each leveler does not occur.

Particularly, in the manufacturing system of this aspect, the rotation of the rollers can be synchronized with the conveyance of the metal sheet without installing a new part or mechanism in the leveler or the conveying device constituting the manufacturing system.

As described above, in the system for manufacturing a metal plate according to the present invention, there is no or minimal deviation in the conveying speed in each apparatus for conveying the metal plate, even if there is no apparatus such as a loop table in the conventional manufacturing system, Problems such as generation of defects and poor flatness do not occur, and the overall configuration of the system is simplified, and the facility space is minimized.

Although not shown in the drawings, the manufacturing system of the present invention includes a cutting device for cutting a front end face of an aluminum plate having an upper and a lower knife disposed in the width direction of the aluminum plate and passing through the first leveler 20, A cleaning device for cleaning the aluminum plate 1 to remove impurities adhered to the aluminum plate 1, a vinyl coating device for coating a protective film on the planarized aluminum plate through the levelers, and the like.

To explain the operation according to this arrangement, the aluminum plate 1 is supplied in a coil state and loaded on the uncoiler 10. The operation of the manufacturing system of this embodiment starts by uncoiling a coiled aluminum plate loaded on the uncoiler 10 and putting it into the first leveler 20. [

A coil opener (not shown) is provided on the downstream side of the uncoiler 10 to uncoil the coiled aluminum plate 1 from the uncoiler 10 so that the leading end of the coiled aluminum plate is connected to the first leveler 20 .

The aluminum plate member 10 is disposed upstream of the first leveler 20 without any special planarization treatment in the first leveler 20 having a thickness of less than 7.0 mm, And passes through the pinch rollers 17 and 18 in FIG. 3A, and is spread to a level required for the subsequent processing steps.

The aluminum plate 1 having passed through the first leveler 20 is introduced into the side trimmer 30. The cross-section in the width direction of the aluminum plate material 1 has an irregular size, and defects of some materials are also present. Therefore, the aluminum plate 1 is supplied with a dimension slightly larger than the required width dimension, and is cut in accordance with the width dimension required by the side trimmer 30, and at the same time, do.

The aluminum plate material that has passed through the site trimmer 30 passes through the second to fourth levelers 40, 50, 60 which are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction.

The first to fourth levelers 20, 40, 50 and 60 will be described in detail later, but they are arranged at the upper and lower portions of the aluminum sheet material to apply bending stress repeatedly while contacting the both surfaces of the aluminum sheet material Flattening the aluminum plate, each leveler having rollers of different diameters and different levelers.

The planarized aluminum sheet passing through the levelers is conveyed to the cutting device 80 by the end feeder 70 having upper and lower rollers that are rotated and brought into contact with the upper surface and the lower surface, respectively.

The aluminum sheet material is cut into the desired longitudinal dimension as it passes through the cutting device 80 and becomes an aluminum sheet of final dimension to meet the demand. Each of the cut aluminum plates is transferred to and stacked on the loading table 92 by the transfer conveyor 91, and is packed in the loading table 92.

3A to 3C show a side view, a plan view, and a front view, respectively, of the first leveler 20. The front view is viewed from the downstream side in the direction of conveyance of the aluminum sheet material.

The configuration and operation of the first leveler 20 will be described with reference to these drawings.

The first leveler 20 includes a lower frame 22 fixed to the floor of the factory where the manufacturing system of the present embodiment is disposed, an upper frame 21 disposed on the upper side of the lower frame, Five lower rollers 24 whose longitudinal direction is arranged in the width direction of the aluminum plate material and the lower frame 25 which are sequentially arranged in the conveying direction of the aluminum plate material on the lower face of the upper frame, And four upper rollers 23 arranged in the width direction of the plate material.

The upper rollers 23 are arranged alternately between the lower rollers 24 in the sheet material conveyance direction so that a gap d is formed between the upper and lower rollers when they are close to each other, As the aluminum sheet passes through it, it receives bending stress that is repetitive and reverses its direction.

The lower rollers 24 are adjusted in position in the vertical direction by a position adjusting mechanism 26 composed of a wedge block, and this position may be set at the initial installation of the first leveler 20 and adjusted as necessary.

The upper rollers 23 are rotatably supported by the respective bearing blocks 231 at both longitudinal ends thereof. Each of the bearing blocks 231 is supported by respective position adjusting mechanisms 25 The position in the vertical direction is adjusted.

Each position adjusting mechanism 25 includes a drive motor 251 fixed to the upper frame 21 at one side in the longitudinal direction of the upper roller 23 and a rod 251 having one end fixed to the upper surface of each bearing block 231 252), a screw device 253 for rotating the rod 252 up and down by a drive motor, and a rotary shaft 254 for transmitting the rotational force of the drive motor to the opposite screw device.

A drive mechanism 26 for driving the upper and lower rollers 23 and 24 is disposed on one side in the width direction of the aluminum plate material. The drive mechanism 26 includes a drive motor 261, a power distributor 262 for distributing the rotational force from the drive motor to the upper and lower rollers, and a power transmission shaft (not shown) for connecting the power distributor and the respective rollers, .

A pair of pinch rollers 27 and 28 are disposed on the upstream side of the upper and lower rollers 23 and 24, that is, on the uncoiler 10 side. The pinch rollers 27 and 28 are provided with a cover made of a urethane material on the surface thereof and the aluminum plate 1 released from the uncoiler 10 is sandwiched therebetween.

According to this configuration, the positions of the respective upper rollers 23 are adjusted by the positioning mechanism 25 before the aluminum plate material is fed. When the drive motor 251 of the position adjusting mechanism rotates, the rotational force is transmitted to the screw device 252 on one side and transmitted to the screw device 253 on the other side via the rotational shaft 254, The position of the upper roller 23 where both ends of the bearing block 231 are supported is adjusted up and down in accordance with the amount of rotation of the drive motor. The clearance between the upper roller 23 and the lower roller 24 is adjusted by adjusting the position of each of the upper rollers 23 in the vertical direction.

For example, the upper roller 23 on the upstream side to which the aluminum plate is introduced is disposed close to the facing lower roller 24 to apply a large bending stress to the aluminum plate, and the upper roller 23 It is possible to reduce the stress applied to the aluminum plate by separating the lower roller 24 from the lower roller 24 so that the aluminum plate is flattened.

The aluminum plate released from the uncoiler 10 enters the gap between the upper and lower rollers 23 and 24 by the pinch rollers 27 and 28 and the upper and lower rollers are rotated at the same rotational speed And the aluminum plate material is flattened while being subjected to repetitive bending stress while passing through the gap therebetween.

Next, the configuration and operation of the second leveler 40 will be described with reference to Figs. 4A to 4C. 4A to 4C, the second leveler 40 has a side view, a top view, and a front view, respectively. The front view is viewed from the downstream side in the direction of conveyance of the aluminum sheet material.

The second leveler 40 has a lower frame 42 fixed to the floor of a factory where the manufacturing system of the present embodiment is disposed, and an upper frame 41 disposed on the upper side of the lower frame. An upper roller set 43 is mounted on the upper frame 41 and a lower roller set 44 is mounted on the lower frame 42.

The upper roller set 43 is disposed at the lowermost end thereof and has six operating rollers 431 which are in contact with the surface of the aluminum sheet material to apply stress to the aluminum sheet material. On the operating roller 431, Eight intermediate rollers 432 are disposed between the operating rollers and contact with the operating rollers 431 to rotate in accordance with the rotation of the operating rollers 431. [ The operation rollers 431 and the intermediate rollers 432 are disposed in the direction of conveyance of the aluminum sheet material in a sequential manner, and the longitudinal direction thereof is arranged in the width direction of the aluminum sheet material.

Above the intermediate rollers 432, there are arranged nine rows of support rollers 433 arranged between the intermediate rollers and making contact with the intermediate rollers 432 to rotate in accordance with the rotation of the intermediate rollers. The support rollers 433 of each row are arranged in a line in a row mainly in the five support rollers 433 in the axial direction of the rollers, that is, in the width direction of the aluminum plate material, The position in the up and down direction can be adjusted by the position adjusting mechanism 434 using the block.

The intermediate roller 432 is brought into contact with the operating roller 431 in order to prevent the working roller 431 from being warped according to such stress, And the intermediate rollers 432 are supported by the support rollers 433. [

The five support rollers 433 constituting one row are individually adjusted in position by the respective position adjusting mechanisms 434 and are moved in accordance with the stress acting on the operating rollers 431 or in accordance with the warpage of the aluminum plate material in the width direction So that the position can be adjusted.

The lower roller set 44 is disposed symmetrically with the upper roller set 43. Seven operating rollers 441 are disposed at the uppermost stage and eight intermediate rollers 442 are arranged below the upper roller set 44. 9 And the support rollers 443 of the row are disposed. The support rollers 443 in one row are constituted by five rollers whose positions are adjusted by the respective position adjustment mechanisms 444. [ The construction and operation of the upper roller set 43 are the same as those of the upper roller set 43, so that further explanation is omitted.

In this configuration, the operating rollers 431 of the upper roller set and the operating rollers 441 of the lower roller set are arranged alternately with respect to the conveying direction of the aluminum sheet material and form the gap g of the corrugations therebetween, The aluminum plate is flattened while being subjected to repetitive bending loads by the operation rollers 431 and 441 while being conveyed.

The operating roller 431 of the upper roller set and the operating roller 441 of the lower roller set are rotationally driven by the respective driving mechanisms 45 and 46. [

The drive mechanisms 45 and 46 are constituted by drive motors 451 and 461, power distributors 452 and 462 and power transmission shafts 453 and 463 coupled to the respective operation rollers, And is transmitted to each operation roller.

A pinch roller 49 constituted by a pair of rollers is disposed on the upstream side of the upper and lower roller sets 43 and 44. The pinch roller 49 is provided with a urethane cover on the surface of the pinch roller 49. The aluminum plate 1 fed from the preceding apparatus is sandwiched between the pinch roller 49 and the operating rollers 431 and 441 of the second leveler 40 Guide into the gap.

4C, two sets of position adjusting mechanisms 47 and 48 for adjusting the position of the upper roller set 43 in the up-and-down direction are arranged at the front and rear sides of the upper frame 41 in the conveying direction of the aluminum plate .

Only the position adjusting mechanism 47 disposed downstream of the transfer of the aluminum plate will be described because these position adjusting mechanisms 47 and 48 differ only in the arrangement position and are identical in structure and operation.

The position adjusting mechanism 47 includes a driving motor 471 disposed on one side in the width direction of the aluminum plate member, screw devices 472 and 473 rotated by the rotation of the driving motor and disposed on both sides in the width direction of the aluminum plate, (Not shown) fixed to the upper roller set 43 and moved in the vertical direction by the respective screw devices 472 and 473 and the rotary shaft 474 for transmitting the rotation of the upper roller set 473 to the screw device 473 on the opposite side, City).

Screw apparatuses 472 and 473) is a device that rotates by a drive motor 471 and converts the rotation into a linear motion to move the rod in the vertical direction.

When the drive motor 471 of the position adjusting mechanism 47 rotates, the rods on both sides in the width direction move up and down in the same displacement and direction, That is, the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the aluminum plate material is heard or lowered.

Similarly, when the driving motor of the position adjusting mechanism 48 on the upstream side in the feeding direction of the aluminum sheet material is operated, the upstream roller set 43 is lifted up or down in the conveying direction of the aluminum sheet material.

When the operation of these two position adjusting mechanisms 47 and 48 is combined, the upper roller set 43 is moved upward as a whole or downward, and the upper and lower operating rollers 431 and 431 of the lower roller set, The gap between the first and second projections 441 may be widened or narrowed as a whole.

According to this operation, the gap can be narrowed or widened according to the thickness and the material of the aluminum plate, and the bending stress acting on the aluminum plate can be controlled.

For example, when the position adjustment mechanism 48 on the upstream side in the transport direction is moved downward and the position adjustment mechanism 47 on the downstream side is moved upward, the upstream roller set 43 is moved in the downward tilting direction So that the clearance between the operating rollers 431 and 441 becomes narrow on the upstream side and widened on the downstream side.

In this case, the aluminum sheet fed to the second leveler 40 is subjected to a large bending stress at a narrow gap between the operating rollers 431 and 441 on the upstream side of the second leveler 40 , The gap becomes wider toward the downstream side and can be flattened while receiving a small bending stress.

As described above, the second leveler 40 is different from the first leveler 20 in that the clearance of each of the operating rollers is not individually adjusted, but by adjusting the position and inclination of the upper roller set 43, The flatness can be adjusted.

The third leveler 50 and the fourth leveler 60 basically have the same structure as that of the second leveler 40 so that the upper and lower rollers are divided into an upper roller set and a lower roller set, An intermediate roller for supporting the operation roller, and a support roller for supporting the intermediate roller, and has a configuration in which the position and tilt of the upper roller set are adjusted. However, the diameter and the number of working rollers are different.

As described above, the construction and operation of the first to fourth levelers in the metal sheet manufacturing system of the present embodiment have been described. The uncoiler 10, the side trimmer 30, the cutting device 70, the conveying conveyor 80, And the loading table 90 can be widely known, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, the side trimmer 30 may be an apparatus according to the invention of a side end cutting device of a metal plate disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0095774 filed by the applicant of the present invention.

The upper and lower rollers (hereinafter, referred to as 'operation rollers') of the first leveler and the first to fourth levelers (hereinafter referred to as 'operation rollers') which directly contact the aluminum plate material in the first to fourth levelers 20, The working rollers are 220 mm, 150 mm, 95 mm and 75 mm in diameter, respectively.

As described above, a considerable advantage can be obtained in a manufacturing system for flattening a metal plate by arranging a small diameter of the operating rollers upstream in the conveying direction of the aluminum plate material and arranging small ones in the downstream side in sequence.

In the manufacturing system of this embodiment, an aluminum plate having a thickness of 1.0 to 18.0 mm is flattened, and levelers suitable for use for each plate of each thickness are different from each other in planarizing the aluminum plate in this thickness range.

Therefore, in the prior art, levelers suitable for the metal plate to be processed are selected and a dedicated manufacturing system is constructed.

However, in the manufacturing system of the present embodiment, a plurality of levelers having different operating modes and different diameters of the operating rollers are arranged, the gap between the operating rollers can be individually adjusted, and the first leveler, And the second to fourth levelers for adjusting the gap between the operating rollers by adjusting the position and inclination of the upper roller set are arranged in order from the upstream side in the order of their diameters.

According to this constitutional method, firstly, only the leveler suitable for the thickness of the aluminum plate to be flattened among the first to fourth levelers can be operated and the remaining leveler can be left in the non-operating state according to the basic feature of the present invention.

The flattening of the metal plate including the aluminum plate is a parameter affecting the flattening of the metal plate by the diameter of the working rollers forming the leveler, the gap between the upper and lower working rollers and the pitch between the operating rollers, but the most important variable is the diameter of the working rollers .

Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to select a leveler that can function properly to the thickness of the metal sheet material among four different diameter levelers, and to allow the aluminum sheet material to be processed only by the selected levelers, The upper and lower operating rollers can be kept in a state in which they are not in contact with the aluminum plate material.

The aluminum plate material is to be in a state of considerable bending in the uncoiling state of the uncoiler 10, and in this state, a high bending stress should be applied so as to have a level of flatness suitable for subsequent processing. In such planarization, it is appropriate to carry out planarization through a leveler having a large diameter working roller.

It is appropriate to process such low level planarized aluminum sheet so as to obtain a higher level of flatness by applying a relatively low level of bending stress in a leveler with subsequent smaller diameter working rollers.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, by arranging the leveler having a large diameter of the operating roller upstream, the leveler having a large diameter among the levelers selected to operate among the levelers is disposed upstream, so that the flattening of the aluminum plate becomes progressively higher It is possible to planarize.

Planarization of the aluminum plate in the leveler is not limited to the diameter of the plate, but the gap between the upper and lower operating rollers and the pitch between the operating rollers are variables. These additional parameters are adjusted according to the material of the aluminum plate to be processed, And basically, the diameter of the working roller is a main variable depending on the thickness of the material.

In the manufacturing system having the arrangement and configuration according to the present embodiment, the leveler to be selected to operate according to the thickness of the aluminum plate among the first to fourth levelers can be selected, and the leveling can be selected depending on the specific composition, physical properties, Can be appropriately achieved by adjusting the clearances between the operating rollers and the like in the selected levelers.

Specifically, the aluminum sheet material having a thickness of 11.0 mm or more and 18.0 mm or less is planarized by the first and second levelers, and the aluminum sheet material having a thickness of 7.0 to less than 11.0 mm is planarized by the first to third levelers, An aluminum plate having a thickness of 4.0 or more and less than 7.0 mm is planarized by the second to fourth levelers and an aluminum plate having a thickness of 1.0 or more and less than 4.0 mm is planarized by the third and fourth levelers. However, when the quality of the shape of the aluminum plate manufactured through the combination of the levelers does not meet the required quality, the flattening operation may be performed using the entire first through fourth levelers.

Next, a configuration in which the rotations of the rollers of the levelers are synchronized with each other in the manufacturing system of this embodiment will be described.

The upper and lower rollers 23 and 24 in the first leveler 20 and the operating rollers 431 and 441 of the upper and lower roller sets 43 and 44 in the second to fourth leveler 40 to 60 are driven by the driving motors So that the aluminum plate material is transferred in the conveying direction while being in contact with the aluminum plate material and applying stress thereto.

The pinch rollers 49 are provided upstream of the second to fourth leveler 40 to 60 and the pinch rollers 27 and 28 are provided upstream of the first leveler 20 so that aluminum The end trimmer 30 is provided with a pinch roller that contacts the upper and lower portions of the plate material and transports them to the respective levelers, and the side trimmer 30 is also brought into contact with the aluminum plate materials to be fed thereto. And upper and lower rollers for contact and transfer.

Specifically, the pinch rollers disposed on the upstream side of the third to fourth rollers 50, 60 and the side trimmer 30 among the pinch rollers are provided with the rollers of the third to fourth rollers 50, 60 and the side trimmer 30, The rollers constituting the pinch rollers 27, 28, 49 and the end feeder 70, which are driven by the drive motors for driving the first and second levelers 20, 40, respectively, .

The rollers that are in contact with and transport the aluminum plate are rotated by a drive motor, and a control signal for the rotational speed of each of the drive motors is sent from a control unit (not shown) of the manufacturing system to rotate the drive motor.

When the feeding speed of the aluminum plate is set and the manufacturing system starts operating, the control unit controls all the rollers driven by the driving motor including the rollers of the end feeder 70 to rotate at a rotation speed corresponding to the set feeding speed of the aluminum plate Transmits a control signal to rotate, and the rollers rotate.

An encoder (not shown) is attached to the rollers of the end feeder 70 as a sensor of the rotational speed thereof, and the rotational speed of the rollers of the end papers 70 measured by the encoder during operation of the manufacturing system is input to the control unit.

The control unit controls the rollers of the side trimmer 30, the leveler operating among the other rollers, namely the first to fourth levelers 20, 40, 50 and 60, based on the rotational speed of the roller of the end feeder, And sends a modified control signal for the rotational speed of the pinch rollers disposed upstream to their respective drive motors.

The measured rotational speed of the rollers of the end feeder 70 reflects the conveying speed of the aluminum plate conveyed by the end feeder and is controlled by the control unit in response to the control signal Can be different from the rotational speed at the < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The control unit recalculates the rotational speeds of the driven rollers and their pinch rollers of the levelers operating in the first to fourth levelers according to the measured rotational speed of the roller of the end feeder 70, To the drive motor.

This operation is continuously performed during the operation of the manufacturing system, and the rotational speed of the rollers that contact and convey the aluminum plate through this operation is synchronized with the actual rotational speed of the rollers of the end feeder 70, And is operated with no deviation in the feed speed of the aluminum plate material.

Thus, in the manufacturing system of this embodiment, since the transfer speed of the aluminum sheet material in each apparatus is not varied or minimized, even if there is no buffer for the in-process sheet material such as the roof table in the prior art manufacturing system, Slippage occurs and scratches occur or the flatness of the aluminum plate material does not decrease due to processing defects due to the deviation of the feed speed.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, and particularly, these embodiments have been described with reference to the planarization of the aluminum plate. However, the system for manufacturing a metal plate of the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and is not limited to the processing of an aluminum plate, and can be applied to a manufacturing system for flattening a metal plate.

Further, the present invention is susceptible to various changes and modifications and additions of components within the scope of claims, all of which belong to the scope of the present invention.
