Definitions

  • This invention relates to rolling mills and more particularly to an improved method of continuously gauging and controlling the cross-sectional dimensions of a plurality of rods or billets as they are rolled in a multi-strand rolling mill.
  • strand may be defined as a plurality of successively aligned roll passes in a rolling mill.
  • steel billets are introduced into charging furnaces, heated to 'the correct temperature, and then passed through successive rollers which reduce and reshape the billets to produce rods of the correct size and shape. At the present time, these steps or operating sequences are manually controlled.
  • the control of cross-sectional rod dimensions rolled in a rolling mill is accomplished by automatic actuation of power screwdown mechanisms located on selected roll stands through use of auxiliary control systems which make the mill operation substantially continuous and without the need of constant attention by operating personnel. Since the greatest latitude in making changes of cross-sectional dimensions prevails where the sections are the largest, it is more attractive economically to 'apply the control system of the invention to the roughing end of the mill.
  • the present invention provides integrated screwdown control for correction of the following types of off-gauge product variations:
  • the present system of control may also be described for illustrative purposes as being sub-divided into three control loops or sub-circuits. These sub-circuits each perform functions which are interrelated in the overall control system for continuous control of the rod mill.
  • automatic gauging devices such as infrared micrometers are mounted adjacent to the pass line in order to continuously scan across the direction of material flow and generate error signals proportional to and of the same polarity as any deviations from a given dimensional setting. These error signals are then selectively utilized by the above-mentioned sub-circuits to adjust power screwdown mechanisms which are mounted on selected roll stands.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the complete Gauge Control System for stands 1 and 2 of a four strand rolling mill
  • FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram illustrating the means embodied in the instantaneous averaging circuits for instantaneously averaging error signals received from two infrared micrometers and for by-passing this step when only one of the two strands measured by the micrometers is filled;
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a sub-circuit comprising the Gauging Circuit
  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a sub-circuit comprising the Front End Compensation Circuit.
  • FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a sub-circuit comprising the Empty Pass Compensation Circuit.
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the Gauging Circuit controlling stands 1 and 2 of a four strand mill, the circuit is divided into two parts along the center line of the mill, one part controlling the power screwdown mechanism of the drive side of the mill, the other the power screwdown mechanism of the work side.
  • Infrared micrometers 2, 4-, 6 and 8 continuously scan moving rods 9 to measure a selected cross-sectional dimension which is representative of the prevailing rod gauge.
  • the micrometers produce error signals proportional to the difference between the prevailing rod gauge and the desired rod gauge.
  • the error signals of infrared micrometers 2 and 4 or 6 and 8 on either side of the pass line are sampled for a predetermined interval by sampling circuits SC-l and SC-2 generally indicated at 10 or SC3 and SC-4 generally indicated at 12.
  • the sampled error signals are then transmitted to instantaneous averaging circuits 14 and 16 where they are averaged to obtain an instantaneous average between each pair of sampled error signals. This instantaneous average is then averaged over the predetermined sampling interval by time averaging circuits 18 and 20 to give a time average value.
  • FIG. 2 a circuit diagram, in order to illustrate the means of instantaneously averaging simultaneous signals from two infrared micrometers and for by-passing this step when only one of the two infrared micrometers is emitting a presence signal.
  • FIG. 2 a circuit diagram, in order to illustrate the means of instantaneously averaging simultaneous signals from two infrared micrometers and for by-passing this step when only one of the two infrared micrometers is emitting a presence signal.
  • the control components of the drive side in illustrating the above-mentioned procedure.
  • the drive and work sides of the mill are controlled through identical systems.
  • this circuit diagram will apply to both the Gauging Circuit illustrated in FIG. 3 and the Front End Compensation Circuit illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • each infrared micrometer 2 and 4 emits a presence signal and an error signal.
  • the presence signals indicate the absence or presence of a bar in the strand being measured, and the error signals are proportional to the difference between the prevailing rod gauge and the desired rod gauge.
  • presence signals are emitted which energize coils 22, closing switches 26 and 28. This in turn causes a voltage to be impressed across relay coil 30 resulting in the closing of switch 32.
  • Simultaneously error signals emitted by infrared micrometers 2 and 4 are sampled by sampling circuits SC1 and SC-Z and sampled error signals sent to summer-divider 34 where they are added and the sum multiplied by a fac tor of one-half /2). This operation results in an instantaneous averaging of the two sampled error signals. The instantaneous average is then averaged over the predetermined sampling interval by a time average circuit 18 to obtain a time average value which is then sent on to a proportioning network 54.
  • the error signals emitted by infrared micrometers 2 and 4 are fed through summer-divider 34 and closed switch 32 where they are instantaneously averaged before being sent on to a time averaging circuit 18.
  • the need to obtain an instantaneous average is no longer present, and the instantaneous averaging feature of the circuit is by-passed.
  • the average error signal is subsequently transmitted to a proportioning network 54 (see FIG. 3) on the drive side of the mill.
  • a similar proportioning network 56 is positioned on the work side of the mill to receive average error signals from an identical system of components located on the drive side.
  • the proportioning networks 54 and 56 proportion the averaged error signals in a predetermined manner between the respective drive and work sides of stands 1 and 2 and transmit partial correction signals to each pair of error storage circuits 58 and 60 or 62 and 64.
  • the error storage circuits have a stored voltage which is changed by the signal received from the proportioning networks.
  • the change being proportional to the magnitude and sense of the signal received, is subsequently transmitted to position control loops 66 and 68 or 70 and 72 for corresponding screwdown adjustments.
  • roll stands 1 and 2 are driven through gearing from the same motor, their respective roll speeds cannot be independently varied. Control of the screwdowns of only one stand would cause the slip and spread of stock in that stand to change. Changing either slip or spread would cause undesirable changes in the volume rate of flow of stock through a subsequent stand.
  • the position control loops Upon receiving a partial correction from the error storage circuits, the position control loops then cause the stand screwdown mechanisms located on either the drive side or the work side to move up or down an amount proportional to the magnitude of the partial correction signal.
  • the direction of movement for the power screwdown is governed by the polarity of the partial correction signal.
  • FIG. 4 A second source of off-gauge variations in the crosssectional dimensions of rod being rolled will now be described in connection with the Front End Compensation Circuit illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • a bar or billet enters a roll stand, it strikes the rolls, upsetting steady state rolling conditions and creating a shock which tends to spread the rolls apart. This in turn results in the rolling of a larger product than desired.
  • compensating roll adjustments are performed by the Front End Compensation Circuit, a circuit similar to the Gauging Circuit in that it has separate identical controls-for the drive and work sides of selected mill stands.
  • error signals which are proportional to the difference between the prevailing bar gauge and the desired bar gauge are relayed for a predetermined interval to instantaneous averaging circuits 74 and 76 by either initial condition correcting circuits ICC-1 and ICC2 indicated generally at 78 or by circuits ICC- 3 and ICC-4 at 80.
  • the averaging circuits 74 and 76 average the error signals from the two strands on their -respective side of the mill (work or drive side) to give an instantaneous average, which is then averaged over the predetermined interval by time averaging circircuits 82 or 84 to give a time average value.
  • the averaged error signal is then transmitted to proportioning networks 86 or 88 which proportion the averaged error signal in a predetermined manner and dispatch a partial error signal to initial condition circuits 90 and 92 or 94 and 96 of each stand, wherein the partial corrections are stored for future use.
  • this portion of the Front End Compensation Circuit is similar to the Gauging Circuit with the exception that the proportioned error signals are stored within the initial condition circuits 90 and 92 or 94 and 96. It should also be noted that the circuit diagram illustrated in FIG. 2 and previously described in relation to the Gauging Circuit will find similar application in the Front End Compensation Circuit. When only one strand on either side of the mill is present, the instan-.
  • circuits 74 or 76 will again be bypassed and the individual signal averaged by either time averaging circuit 8 2 or 84 to give a time average value.
  • a second delayed control signal on line t triggers error signals stored in either initial condition circuit 99 or 94 as the front end of the bar or billet enters stand 2.
  • the error signals pass through summing points 91, 93, 95 or 97 to activate the position control loops.
  • a third delayed control signal on line t is used to activate the initial condition correctingcircuits 78 or 80/ in order to sample the error signals of the infrared gauges as the front end of the bar or billet passes within view. If the preceding adjustments have been insufiicient, infrared gauges 2, 4, 6 and 8 will emit error signals that will again be averaged and sent on through the proportioning networks to be used in correcting the error signals previously stored in the initial condition circuits 90 and 92 or 94 and 96. In this manner, the Front End Compensation Circuit can perform compensating adjustments as abar or billet enters a roll stand, and in addition is capable of correcting adjustments previously performed in order to produce an ou-gauge product.
  • Predetermined corrections corresponding to the adjustments necessary to compensate for the prolonged absence of any strand are stored in empty pass compensation circuits 90, 92, 94 and 96 which also serve as initial conditioning circuits with other predetermined corrections set in for use in the Front End Compensation Circuit illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • a different correction will be set into the different empty pass compensation circuits 90, 92, 94 and 96 for each strand and the appropriate set of corrections for both sides of both stands will be selected upon the detection of the absence of any strand.
  • each empty pass compensation circuit has four inputs, one from each delay circuit 122, 124, 126 and 128, to permit a delayed signal from any particular strand to select the set of corrections previously established as required to be made to both sides of both stands for the absence of that particular strand.
  • Presence circuits 98, 190, 102 and 1M determine the absence or presence of a bar at a location following stand 1 and emit distinguishable signals when the rod is present and when the rod is absent.
  • a not-present signal is transmitted to timers 114, 116, 118 and 129, each having a timing cycle equal to the normal interval between rods or billets. The timing cycle is started by the appearance of a not-present signal and is stopped by a subsequent presence signal.
  • the timer transmits to delay circuits 122, 124, 126 and 128 a suitable signal for delayed control of the empty pass compensation circuits 9t), 92, 9dand 96.
  • These control signals after being sutiiciently delayed to allow the remainder of the last bar to clear stand 2, are sent to the Empty Pass Compensation Circuits 92 and 96 of stand 1 and to the Empty Pass Compensation Circuits 9i) and 94 of stand 2.
  • the predetermined stored corrections for that particular strand are triggered and sent through summing points 91, 93, 95 or 97 to the position control loops on both the work and drive sides of both stands.
  • the three sub-circuits comprise the full Gauge Cont-r01 System as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • duplication of some components is avoided and the control functions are interrelated to be compatible to overall automatic operation. For example, only one position control loop for each power screwdown mechanism is necessary, since each loop is capable handling error signals from a plurality of sources.
  • each correction signal for the position control loops 66, 6 8, 70 and 72 from the various sub-circuits is applied independently or in combination if coincident in time by virtue of the adding circuits 91, 93, 95 and 97.
  • all control functions are continuously operative to sense the various control conditions and apply the appropriate signals in timed relation to the mill controls to achieve the improved operation previously described.
  • one sub-circuit may operate simultaneously with other sub-circuits without interference.
  • error signals would be transmitted by initial condition circuits and 92 or 94 and 96 and by the error storage circuits 58 and 69 or 62 and 64. It is also possible that some of these error signals would be positive and some negative.
  • summing points 91, 93, 95 or 97 are received by summing points 91, 93, 95 or 97 and added before being finally transmitted as one error signal to the position control loops, the possibility of interference between the various sub-circuits is eliminated.
  • the operating speed of the mill is no longer limited to such a great extent by the ability of operating personnel in adapting to increased mill speeds.
  • the remainder of the mill can be adjusted with greater ease if stock with uniform crosssectional dimensions is produced by stands 1 and 2.
