Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a secondary cooling control method and a secondary cooling control device for a continuous casting machine,

The present invention relates to a secondary cooling control method and a secondary cooling control device for a continuous casting machine which control surface temperature distribution in a casting direction or a width direction of a part or all of casting in a secondary cooling stand of a continuous casting machine.

In the continuous casting of steel, for example, in a vertical bending type continuous casting machine, a casting drawn out from a vertical casting mold is curved once and then drawn at a predetermined curvature radius, and thereafter the casting is taken out as a cast with no bending in the calendering portion , And cut. However, in the bent portion of the strand (the "set of the mold + the secondary cooling group + the pulling device having the roller group"), the lower surface of the cast steel, Tensile stress is applied. Therefore, when the temperature of the surface of the cast steel is in a range called the embrittling range, surface cracks sometimes called horizontal cracks may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately set the cooling water distribution so that the temperature of the surface of the slab avoids the above-mentioned embrittling zone in the bent portion and the bridge portion of the strand. The proper setting of the cooling water distribution can be achieved, for example, by setting the cooling zone quantity distribution to an appropriate value by simulation or the like in advance when the casting speed is constant.

However, when the arrival of the next ladle in the performance is delayed, it is necessary to change the casting speed during operation so as to lower the casting speed lower than a predetermined value and to wait for arrival so as not to interrupt the casting period. At this time, in the conventional cascade quantity control for interpolating and setting each zone quantity set for the casting speed in advance with respect to the casting speed during the change, the cooling history with respect to the time from the casting mold face of the casting mold to the cutting is disturbed, The quality of the cast steel such as the lateral crack of the surface occurs.

In addition, the relationship between the cooling water quantity and the heat transfer coefficient of the surface may change from the assumption in the pre-simulation due to the influence of the scale attachment on the surface of the cast steel. Even in this case, the surface temperature of the cast steel may enter the embrittling zone, and horizontal cracks may occur.

To solve such a problem, a control method based on so-called model predictive control has been disclosed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which a pulling cast piece is tracked at fixed intervals, a temperature distribution of each tracking surface is sequentially calculated on the basis of an electric heating model, and a casting pullout locus is divided into several zones And correcting the temperature distribution of each of the tracking surfaces at the side temperature points provided along the locus based on the correction model at a predetermined time A surface temperature control method is disclosed in which a feed amount of feedforward obtained from the difference between the target temperature and the predicted temperature at the above position and a total amount of feedback amounts obtained from the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature are distributed to the cast steel have.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-154364

In the method of calculating the feedforward amount disclosed in Patent Document 1, the temperature at a time point at which the temperature reaches the side-on point of the outlet of the cooling zone is predicted for each tracking point present in the cooling zone, and when each tracking point reaches the side- And the weighted average value of the predicted water density with respect to the entire tracking surface of the cooling zone is set as the feedforward amount. In this technique, the procedure for obtaining the recalculation temperature is performed by recalculating the temperature distribution in the cooling zone using the procedure for obtaining the feedforward quantity from the mold cooling zone and the feedforward quantity obtained in this procedure And the recirculation temperature is set as the initial temperature at the inlet of the cooling zone adjacent to the downstream side is repeated to determine the cooling rate of the entire cooling zone. In this technique, however, even if the recalculation temperature is the initial temperature at the inlet of the cooling zone adjacent to the downstream side, the temperature calculation of the tracking point other than the inlet of the cooling zone adjacent to the downstream side The calculation of the temperature of the tracking point in the cooling zone existing further downstream than the cooling zone adjacent to the downstream side of the cooling zone) does not show the influence of the feedforward quantity. Therefore, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the time required until the quantity change on the upstream side is properly reflected in the temperature predicting calculation becomes longer, and in some cases, there arises a problem such as a hunting of the quantity. As a result, the accuracy of controlling the surface temperature of the entire cast steel to a predetermined target temperature tends to be lowered.

In the continuous casting machine 9 embodying the present invention, the strand is fed from the casting mold 1 by a pinch roll equipped with a driving device while supporting the strands of which the outer side is solidified between the roll sets, ). Reference numeral 4 denotes a molten steel meniscus. (Or spray (2)) for spraying cooling water toward the cast piece (5) is provided between adjacent support rolls arranged at predetermined intervals in the casting direction. The flow rate of the cooling water to be sprayed is controlled by the flow rate regulating valve 3 provided in the cooling water pipe. The opening degree of the flow rate adjusting valve 3 is adjusted on the basis of the quantity indicating value given from the cooling control device 10. [ Since the cooling water pipe is provided in correspondence to the cooling zone (cooling zone divided by the cooling zone boundary line 6) in which the casting direction length of the cast piece 5 is divided into a plurality of portions, the cooling water distribution in the casting direction in the strand is, Respectively.

The temperature and the solidification rate of the entire cast steel can be calculated by repeating the calculation from the calculation point adjacent to the upstream side to the target calculation position until the cross section is moved by the cast steel withdrawal.

For the discretization of the heat conduction equation, for example, a two-dimensional model of the orthogonal grid shown in Fig. 2 is used. The temperature T ij at each lattice point (i, j), the enthalpy per unit mass H ij , and the solidification rate per unit mass f ij are used as variables and the physical constants at each lattice point (i, j) , taking into account the temperature dependence is shown by a density ρ ij, C ij specific heat, and thermal conductivity λ ij.

More specifically, assuming that the current time is t, the above equations (2) to (10) are regarded as relational expressions between the time t-1 and the time t, The temperature and the solidification rate distribution of the cross section at each calculation point up to the exit of the cooling zone of the controlled object are calculated.

The heat transfer coefficient estimating process (hereinafter referred to as &quot; S6 &quot; in some cases) is a method of calculating the heat transfer coefficient (the heat transfer coefficient expressed by the above formulas (5) ) Using the casting conditions such as the estimated value of the electro-thermal solidification model parameter at the current time t and the cooling water amount at time t-1.

(Hereinafter referred to as &quot; S7 &quot; in some cases) is calculated by using the difference between the surface temperature of the cast steel measured in S1 and the cast steel surface temperature estimated in S5, And correcting the parameters for the casting conditions in the casting condition.

Modification of the parameters for the casting conditions in the electrothermal solidification model is carried out by using a value obtained by multiplying the error between the surface temperature of the cast steel measured in S1 and the estimated value of the cast steel surface temperature estimated in S5 by the correction coefficient, , And adding it to the parameters for the casting conditions in the electrothermal solidification model. When there are many measurement points of the surface temperature of the cast steel (hereinafter sometimes referred to as &quot; side temperature point &quot; or &quot; temperature side temperature position &quot;), the correction coefficient is represented by a matrix or a vector. The correction coefficient used for the correction of the parameters for the casting condition in the electrothermal solidification model is obtained in the following procedure for each parameter of the estimation target. The "parameters for the casting conditions in the electrothermal solidification model" refers to, for example, the coefficients c, temperature indexes α, β, γ and the like on the right side of the model equation (11) .

1) For the parameter to be calibrated, set the value slightly changed from the current value.

Then, a history of the cooling conditions from the position z k (t-Ta) at the time t-Ta to the temperature-measuring position z k at the current time t is given, and the calculation of the above-mentioned expressions (2) By repeating this process, the temperature estimate value at the side temperature point is calculated when the parameter is slightly changed at the current time t. The retraction time range Ta may be limited to a range in which the correction object parameter affects the state of the cross section at the temperature measurement position z k .

3) A linear relationship expressing the relationship of the amount of temperature change with respect to each parameter correction amount is obtained in the following order.

If when the parameter θ l change Δθ l by, with respect to the surface temperature Tk (t) estimated in S5, the surface temperature estimate calculated in the second) has changed to T k + ΔT kl, ΔTk l is the following formula ( 13).

In the future prediction process (hereinafter referred to as &quot; S9 &quot; in some cases), as the casting progresses, the arbitrary future prediction plane set in S8 moves from the current time to the future prediction plane position adjacent to the downstream side , The casting surface temperature at the time when each future predicted surface set at S8 reaches the future predicted surface position adjacent to the downstream side, the temperature in the section of the billet, and the solidification rate The distribution is repeatedly predicted and renewed at intervals determined in S8 (heat transfer calculation intervals) using the above-described heat and solidification model. In S9, using the casting speed at the current time, the cooling quantity of each cooling zone, and the values of the parameters of the electrothermal solidification model modified in S7, the surface temperature of the steel strip, the temperature in the steel strip cross section, Predict. The initial value of the predictive calculation uses the values of the surface temperature, the temperature in the cross section, and the solid phase distribution of each future temperature predictive surface at the current time t obtained in S5. The &quot; future predicted plane position &quot; is the position of the future predicted plane set in S8.

4 illustrates the relationship between the position of the tracking surface for evaluating the surface temperature and the relative time for predicting the temperature while the respective future prediction planes set in S8 are moved to the future prediction plane position adjacent to the downstream side FIG. Hereinafter, the position of the tracking surface may be referred to as &quot; tracking surface position &quot;. In Fig. 4, the surface temperature is predicted at the time indicated by &quot;&amp; cir &amp;&quot;. The slope of the oblique straight line connecting a plurality of &quot;&quot; shown in Fig. 4 corresponds to the casting speed v (t) at the current time t. In S9, the predicted casting surface temperature at the tracking plane position z i of the future predicted plane i is set as the future predicted temperature T pred ij .

In the future temperature influence coefficient predicting process (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as &quot; S10 &quot;), as the casting progresses, the future predicted surface set in S8 extends from the current time to the future predicted surface position adjacent to the downstream side When the cooling rate of each cooling zone changes stepwise on the assumption that the casting speed does not change from the current time every time it advances, when each future prediction plane reaches a future predicted plane position adjacent to its downstream side And the difference between the predicted casting surface temperature and the casting surface temperature predicted at S9 is obtained and the difference between the cooling water amount changing in the step function type (Hereinafter also referred to as &quot; future temperature influence coefficient &quot;).

In S10, when each cooling quantity q k (t) is changed stepwise by Δq k at the current time t with respect to each cooling zone k, the future prediction plane i is set to the future prediction plane when in comes to a position z j of the slab surface temperature relationship of the deviation ΔT k ij (t) = T k ij -T pred ij k and Δq between the predicted T k ij, and with T pred ij calculated in S9

And the coefficient M k ij when it is expressed as a future temperature influence coefficient. In S10, a surface temperature change gain matrix M i in which future temperature influence coefficients M k ij are arranged in j rows and k columns is calculated for each future prediction surface.

The casting surface reference temperature calculating step (hereinafter sometimes referred to as &quot; S11 &quot; in some cases) is a step in which the target value of the casting surface temperature set in S4 and the target value (A temperature gradually approaching the target value of the bobbin surface temperature set in S4 every time the prediction calculation of S10 is repeated, which is a value between predicted values of the surface temperature of the billet at the time point) .

In S11, for example, the reference target temperature T ref ij at the temperature evaluation point z j of the cross section at the entrance of the i-th cooling zone at the current time is expressed by the following formula (20) The temperature between the temperature T pred ij and the target temperature T tgt j can be defined as a temperature for internally dividing by the exponential function of the time t ij . S11 can be a step of obtaining a reference target temperature trajectory T ref ij (t) represented by a function of time.

Figure pct00020

Here, Tr is a time constant corresponding to a predetermined attenuation parameter.

The optimization problem coefficient matrix calculation step (hereinafter referred to as &quot; S12 &quot; in some cases) calculates the number of cooling zones of each cooling zone at the current time t as a determination variable. In each of S9 and S10, A future temperature influence coefficient at each future predicted surface position at which the predicted surface has passed, a deviation between the reference target temperature and the specimen surface future predicted temperature, and an optimization for minimizing the sum of the calculated future deviation predicted surfaces This is a step of calculating the coefficient matrix for the decision variable in this secondary planning problem as the secondary planning problem in question.

In S12, the weighted sum of squares of the difference of each evaluation position in the z j slab surface temperature response T pred ij (t) + ΔT ij (t) and the reference target temperature trajectory T ref ij (t) in the S11 evaluation time t, and , And the sum of the squared sum of the stepwise widths Δq k of the cooling water in each cooling zone is used as an evaluation function, and Δq = [Δq 1 Δq 2 ... Δq K ] T is obtained. The evaluation function is expressed by the following equation (21).

Here, T pred i , T ref i , and T i are expressed by Expression (22), Expression (23), and Expression (24), respectively.

The term of the temperature deviation of the evaluation function can be replaced with the following equation (25) by using the gain matrix obtained at S10, and further, except for the term having no relation to the changing step width? K k of the cooling water, The minimization of the function is equivalent to the minimization of J 'expressed by the following equation (26).

Figure pct00025

Figure pct00026

The minimization of J 'is a second-order problem with Δq as a determinant. Q is an I x I-dimensional non-negated matrix, and R is a K x K-dimensional heading matrix. For example, a diagonal matrix whose diagonal component is a non-negative constant is used for Q, and a diagonal matrix whose diagonal component is a positive constant is used for R. Further, by adding constraint conditions based on the upper and lower limits of the changing step width of the cooling water, the upper and lower limits of the cooling water, and the like, physical limitations in the mist spray 2 can be reflected.

The optimization problem solving process (hereinafter sometimes referred to as &quot; S13 &quot; in some cases) is a step of obtaining the optimum value? Q * of Δq at the current time by numerically extracting the secondary planning problem in S12 . Since the secondary planning problem is a convex secondary planning problem, if there is no restriction on? Q, the optimal solution? Q * is obtained by the following equation (27). In addition, when there is a restriction on? Q, the optimum solution? Q * can be easily obtained by using an effective constraint method or the like.

By adding the optimum solution? Q * obtained in S13 to the cooling water quantity q (t) of the current cooling zone, the cooling water changing process (hereinafter referred to as "S14" in some cases)

The cooling quantity q (t + 1) thus changed is used in the next control cycle.

According to the cooling control method of the present invention having S1 to S14, it is possible to immediately reflect the influence of the change in the cooling water even at a position other than the inlet of the cooling zone adjacent to the downstream side in the casting direction of the tracking surface for evaluating the surface temperature Thus, it becomes possible to control the surface temperature of the entire cast steel such that it always coincides with the predetermined target temperature. Therefore, according to the cooling control method of the present invention, it is possible to increase the precision in controlling the surface temperature of the entire cast steel to a predetermined target temperature. By controlling the surface temperature of the entire cast steel precisely to the target temperature, even when the casting speed and the casting speed change during casting, the surface temperature is prevented from being stiffened in the bending segment or the calibrated segment of the continuous casting machine It is possible to produce a cast slab free from defects due to surface flaws.

The above-described cooling control method of the present invention can be implemented by using, for example, the cooling control device 10 shown in Fig. As shown in Figs. 1 and 5, the cooling control device 10 includes a casting surface thermometer 7 functioning as a casting surface temperature measuring unit 7, a casting speed measuring unit 7 functioning as a casting speed obtaining unit 8, A target temperature setting unit 10b, a temperature solidity rate estimating unit 10c, a heat transfer coefficient estimating unit 10d, and a number of electrothermal solidification model parameters A future temperature prediction unit 10h, a future surface prediction reference temperature setting unit 10i, an optimization problem coefficient matrix &lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt; A calculation section 10j, an optimization problem solving section 10k, and a cooling quantity changing section 101. [ As described above, the billet surface thermometer 7 is used in S1, and the casting speed measuring roll 8 is used in S2. S3 is set in the tracking plane setting section 10a, S4 is set in the target temperature setting section 10b, S5 is set in the temperature solidity rate estimating section 10c, S6 is set in the heat transfer coefficient estimating section 10d, And S7 is performed in the solidification model parameter correction section 10e, respectively. S9 in the future predicted surface setting unit 10f, S9 in the future predicting unit 10g, S10 in the future temperature influence coefficient predicting unit 10h, S11 in the steel surface reference temperature calculating unit 10i, S12 in the optimization problem coefficient matrix computing section 10j, S13 in the optimization problem solving section 10k, and S14 in the cooling water changing section 101 are respectively performed. Therefore, by using the cooling control device 10, the cooling control method of the present invention can be implemented. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a secondary cooling control device for a continuous casting machine, which can control the surface temperature of the entire cast steel to always match a predetermined target temperature.

Example

In the continuous casting machine for slabs, an embodiment to which the present invention is applied is described below from a first cooling zone directly under a mold outlet to a final tenth cooling zone.

The temperature target value was calculated on the basis of the casting surface temperature at the tracking surface position by strand heat transfer coagulation calculation in the case where the cooling rate of each cooling zone was optimized on the assumption that the casting speed was constant. The continuous casting machine used in this example is a continuous casting machine for slabs having a casting width of 2300 mm and a casting thickness of 300 mm and a distance of 28.5 m from the meniscus position in the casting mold to the outlet of the secondary cooling casting. In the present embodiment, the update interval of the heat transfer calculation is 25 mm, the interval between the tracking planes is 125 mm, and the interval between the future temperature prediction planes is 1.25 m. On the tracking surface, calculation by the above-described electrothermal solidification model was carried out by dividing the cross section of the cast steel by the long side edge center line and the short side edge center line into 20 parts in the thickness direction and 40 parts in the width direction (see Fig. 2) .

The surface temperature of the cast steel surface was measured at a position 5.25 m away from the meniscus on the fourth cooling zone side, and the measurement was carried out with a radiation thermometer at the center of the long side face of the cast steel.

[Example 1]

The cooling control method of the present invention was applied when the injection rate was reduced by 25% during casting (Example 1). 6A and 6C show results of the relationship between the cooling water amount and the time in each cooling zone in the results of the relationship between the temperature and the time of the central portion in the widthwise direction of the slab at each cooling zone outlet in Example 1. Fig. Figs. 6B and 6D show the results of the relationship between the casting speed and time, respectively, in Fig. 6E. When the casting speed was suddenly reduced from 0.8 m / min to 0.6 m / min, and then returned to 0.8 m / min after 5 minutes, the casting surface temperature of each cooling zone outlet and the target temperature The square root of the error was between 12 ° C and 18 ° C.

On the other hand, Figs. 7A to 7E show the results when a conventional quantity cascade control is applied (Comparative Example) when the injection rate is reduced by 25% during casting. Specifically, the results of the relationship between the surface temperature and the time of the central portion in the widthwise direction of the slab at each cooling zone outlet in the comparative example are shown in Figs. 7A and 7C in relation to the cooling water amount and time in each cooling zone Fig. 7B and Fig. 7D show results for the relationship between the casting speed and time, and Fig. 7E shows the results for the relationship between the casting speed and time. In the comparative example, although the casting speed was changed under the same conditions as in Example 1, the square root of the root mean square error between the casting surface temperature at the exit of each cooling zone and the target temperature was 24 ° C at 17 ° C. As shown in Figs. 6A to 6E and Figs. 7A to 7E, particularly after the casting speed is reduced from 0.8 m / min to 0.6 m / min and the casting speed is changed from 0.6 m / min to 0.8 m / min Comparing the control of the amount of cooling water from the first cooling zone to the fifth cooling zone after the return is performed, in the first embodiment shown in Figs. 6A to 6E, compared with the comparative example shown in Figs. 7A to 7E, It was confirmed that the cooling water quantity in the fifth cooling zone from the zone deviated in a preferable form so that the difference between the target surface temperature and the surface temperature of the casting zone at the cooling zone exit becomes small. From these results, it was confirmed that, even if the casting speed is changed, the surface temperature of the cast steel can be controlled to a target temperature with high accuracy.

[Example 2]

The cooling control method of the present invention was applied (Example 2) when the temperature target value of the third cooling zone was changed by 20 占 폚 during casting. This target temperature is a target value at which the casting surface temperature predicted in the future prediction process should be close. The results of the relationship between the actual value of the casting surface temperature and the target temperature and time in Example 2 are shown in Fig. 8A, the results of the relationship between cooling water and time are shown in Fig. 8B, the results of the relationship between casting speed and time Are shown in Fig. 8C, respectively.

As shown in Figs. 8A to 8C, after the temperature target value was lowered, the cooling water amount in the third cooling zone was gradually increased. As a result, the surface temperature of the steel piece at the outlet of the third cooling zone was changed to 20 deg. It was getting closer to the target temperature. On the contrary, after lowering the temperature target value, the cooling water amount in the fourth cooling zone was slightly reduced to compensate for the decrease in the temperature of the cast steel at the inlet of the fourth cooling zone. As a result, the variation width of the cast steel surface temperature at the outlet of the fourth cooling zone was suppressed to 3 占 폚. That is, according to the present invention, it has been confirmed that the surface temperature of the cast steel can be controlled to a target temperature with high accuracy.

In Example 2, there was no change in the amount of cooling and temperature in the first cooling zone and the second cooling zone, which were located on the upstream side of the third cooling zone in the casting direction. Therefore, the results of the first cooling zone and the second cooling zone are not shown, and only the results of the third cooling zone and the fourth cooling zone are shown.

[Example 3]

When cooling the material with the cooling water set in advance by calculating the cooling water quantity, it is estimated that the surface temperature of the material at the outlet of the fourth cooling zone is expected to be 16 ° C higher than the target temperature, the actual heat transfer coefficient And the cooling water in the fourth cooling zone was adjusted (Example 3). The results of the relation between the actual value of the casting surface temperature and the target temperature and time in Example 3 are shown in Fig. 9A, the results of the relationship between cooling water and time are shown in Fig. 9B, the results of the relationship between casting speed and time Are shown in Fig. 9C, respectively.

As shown in Figs. 9A to 9C, in the fourth cooling zone, the cooling water amount is controlled to be larger than the original set value, and as a result, the surface temperature of the slip at the outlet of the fourth cooling zone can be made to coincide with the target value . From these results, it was confirmed that according to the present invention, the surface temperature of the cast steel can be controlled to a target temperature with high accuracy.

Further, in Example 3, there was no change in the cooling water quantity and temperature in the first cooling zone and the second cooling zone located upstream of the third cooling zone in the casting direction. Therefore, the results of the first cooling zone and the second cooling zone are not shown, and only the results of the third cooling zone and the fourth cooling zone are shown.
