Description

Strip tension adjusting device in the furnace for hot dip galvanizing

The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the tension of strips in a furnace, a hot-dip plating facility, and more particularly, in response to variations in strip tension caused by temperature variations in the furnace. The present invention relates to a strip tension adjusting device capable of adjusting breakage prevention and tension of strip plates.

In general steel mills, hot-dip galvanizing equipment winds material coils into POR (Pay Off Reel), and automatically proceeds by welding welding strips and lined strips in the welding machine with an alkali solution. Maximum storage of strips in the Entry Looping Tower (ELT) installation followed by transfer to the furnace installation.

Furnace equipment is also divided into six sections: Radiation Type Gas Pre-Heating (RWP) and Direct Fired Furnace via Seal Rolls installed at the inlet of the furnace. Heating Furnace (DFF), Radiant Tube Type Heating (RTH), Gas Jet Cooling (GJC), Over Aging Section (OAS), Final Cooling Section (FCS) After passing through the inside of the galvanizing bath, the amount of zinc plating attached to the strip is controlled by the air knife device installed on the top of the galvanizing bath, and then the strip is first cooled by the cooling box installed on the top of the galvanizing bath. It is moved to a cooling tower, which is the next process, and cooled. The strip via the cooling tower passes through the water cooling unit, the final cooling unit, and then passes through a Skin Pass Mill (SPM) device to correct the shape of the strip, followed by a tension leveler (TL). After finishing the chrome processing to improve the corrosion resistance of the strip, it is stored in the delivery looping tower (DLT) facility and the final tension reel (TR) Produces a coil-shaped product, cuts it at a cutter, and then produces a complete product.

In this section of the hot-dip plating equipment, the entire line is controlled by applying the appropriate tension to the strip. The strip is 0.2-1.6 mm thick and 600-1270 mm wide. The tension on the strip in the line is therefore different.

In particular, strip tension control inside the furnace is controlled by tension bridle roll (TB) and hot bridle roll (HB). Tension can be measured with a built-in tension meter And the tension is controlled by feeding back to H.B.

When the appropriate tension is applied to the inside of the furnace, it is normal when the tension actually applied is ± 0.02kg of the appropriate tension. As shown in Table 1, the actual tension is different depending on the strip temperature inside the furnace.

Table 1

(Strip size: 0.6mm * 900mm)

Therefore, the strip is heated directly or indirectly inside the furnace, especially in the sections D.F.F. and R.T.H., where the strip is heated and stretched (tension becomes smaller), or when the strip cools and shrinks, fine tension control is difficult. There have been cases where strip plate breaks occur between the second and third Hearth Rolls of a section.

In addition, if the line is suddenly stopped while the line is running normally, the tension inside the furnace will cause D.F.F. Section and R.T.H. The temperature of the strips soared in the section and the strips melted and broke. Therefore, there existed a problem that the work efficiency and productivity of a hot-dip plating operation fall.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and provides a strip tension adjusting device that can prevent the hunting of the tension caused by the temperature difference of the strip in the heating furnace of the hot-dip galvanizing equipment to prevent the fracture of the strip. It aims to do it.

To this end, the present invention includes a support beam with a tension meter mounted on the top, the support beam is mounted on the deflector roll is caught; Guide rail support beams mounted to the sides of the support beams and having a connection with the guide rail mounted thereon; A rod coupled with the guide rail and moved in the longitudinal direction of the strip, the idle roll being mounted on the guides mounted thereon and moved by a pneumatic cylinder; A pneumatic cylinder operated by supplying air to one of the air supply pipes by the operation of the subvalve so as to advance and reverse the rod connected to the middle of the horizontal part of the rod; A pulse generator sensor having a small gear coupled to the rack gear portion of the lower side of the guide side and rotating at the end of the guide and sensing the position of the rod and transmitting the information to the direction control device; Direction control device which operates according to the input of the control unit to adjust the tension of the strip and electrically operates the sub-valve to selectively supply air to the pneumatic cylinder to forward and backward the load by integrating information from the tension meter and sensor. Provided is a strip tension adjusting device disposed inside a heating furnace of a hot dip galvanizing plant.

Hereinafter, the operation of the strip tension adjusting device of the present invention configured as described above.

The strip tension adjusting device of the present invention is operated in three ways, and is divided into a 'tension on' position and a 'normal run' position and a 'tension off' position.

When operating the terminal of the direction control device 70 in the 'tension on position' to control the tension of the entire line, the terminal sends an electrical signal to the sub-valve 50, the air supply pipe 49b of the pneumatic cylinder 46 Air is supplied to the rod 45 of the pneumatic cylinder 46, and the rod 34 is integrally formed with the guides 36a and 36b on which the idle rolls 30 are wound. 30) pull the wound strip. Accordingly, the rod 34 is moved from the OUT position B, which is the maximum forward position shown in FIG. 4, to the ON (IN) position, which is the maximum backward position, and the strip is tight. When the movement of the rod 34 to the IN position is completed, an electric signal is again sent to the sub-valve 50 to supply air to the air supply pipe 47a of the pneumatic cylinder 46 to load the pneumatic cylinder ( 45) to advance the rod 34 to move the rod 34 from the in position (A) to the center position (C) while the strip is loosened, whereby the loosened portion of the strip is removed from the tension bridal roll (5). The strip is moved backwards to tension the strip elastically.

Next, when operated in the 'normal run position', when the line is tensioned and the line is operated to maintain the normal operating position, a tension suitable for the size of the strip moving the line is given. If there is tension hunting according to the strip temperature inside the furnace, the tension meter 52 always measures the tension, so that the tension can be maintained at the terminal of the direction control device 70 to the sub-valve 50 to maintain the tension. Sends an electrical signal to supply air to one of the air supply pipes 49a and 49b of the pneumatic cylinder 46, and if the rod 34 is tensioned at the central position C, it moves to the out position B and tensions it. If less is applied, the rod 34 is moved to the in position A to adjust the tension on the strip. In this case, since the movement distance of the rod 34 is configured to transmit information about the distance detected and calculated by the sensor 42 to the terminal of the direction control apparatus 70, the movement distance of the rod 34 may be finely adjusted. This operation prevents the fracture of the strips in the direct fired heating furnace (D.F.F.) and radiant tube type heating (R.T.H.) inside the furnace.

Lastly, when the line is operated in the 'tension off position' state in which the line is stopped, the driver stops the line or an abnormal line stop occurs during normal operation. When input, the terminal of the direction control device 70 sends an electrical signal to the sub-valve 50 to supply air to the air supply pipes 49a and 49b to reverse the rod 45 of the pneumatic cylinder 46 to the rod ( 34) and pull the strip through the idle roll 30 (the tension bridle roll 5 is advanced), i.e. move the rod 34 from the central position C to the in position A After this, the rod 45 of the pneumatic cylinder is advanced to move the rod 34 from the in position A to the out position B so that the strip is loosened so that the strip is not tensioned inside the furnace.

According to the strip tension adjusting device of the present invention described above, the tension of the strip can be properly adjusted by immediately detecting the tension value of the strip that changes according to the strip temperature inside the heating furnace, thereby effectively preventing hunting of the strip. , DFF and RTH The effect of preventing the strip breaking phenomenon occurring at is obtained.
