Aus der DE 16 02 195 A1 ist ein Verfahren zur Berechnung der Dicke dünner harter Werkstücke bekannt.From DE 16 02 195 A1 a method for calculating the thickness of thin hard workpieces is known.

Bisher wird für die Dickenregelung beim Wa im band walzen das sogenannte Gaugemeterprinzip zur Ermittlung der aktuellen Banddicke verwendet. Dazu wird die gemessene Position SDs. Sos der Anstellzylinder um die berechnete Gerüstdehnung g korrigiert (siehe auch Figur 1 ). Die Gerüstdehnung g wird mit Hilfe der gemessenen Walzkraft FDs, FOs und einer Gerüstdehnkurve 1/MG berechnet. Die so ermittelte Banddicke wird dann mit dem Dickensollwert verglichen und ausgeregelt. Für dieses Verfahren ist, neben den Messungen von Position und Walzkraft, ein genaues Gerüstmodell erforderlich.So far, the so-called Gaugemeterprinzip used to determine the current strip thickness for the thickness control when Wa in the roll. For this purpose, the measured position S D s. Sos the adjusting cylinder corrected by the calculated frame strain g (see also Figure 1). The framework strain g is calculated by means of the measured rolling force F D s, F O s and a framework expansion curve 1 / M G. The thus determined strip thickness is then compared with the thickness setpoint and compensated. For this process, apart from the measurements of position and rolling force, an exact framework model is required.
Beim Walzen von harten Güten und dünnen Bändern führen kleine Ungenauig- keiten im Gerüstmodell zu relativ großen Fehlern in der Banddicke und unter Umständen zur Instabilität der Dickenregelung.When rolling hard grades and thin tapes, small inaccuracies in the framework model lead to relatively large errors in the strip thickness and, under certain circumstances, to the instability of the thickness control.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs beschriebenen Art derart zu verbessern, dass die oben aufgezeigten Nachteile vermieden werden.The invention is therefore based on the object to improve a method of the type described above such that the above-mentioned disadvantages are avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Gerüstdeh- nungsanteil minimiert wird. Dieses geschieht dadurch, dass mindestens eine zusätzliche Positionsmessung durch Ermittlung von Positionssignalen im näheren Bereich des Walzspaltes der Walzgerüste durchgeführt wird. Hierbei sind insbesondere die Positionssignale zwischen den Arbeitswalzen und / oder den Stützwalzen und / oder den Arbeitswalzeneinbaustücken und / oder den Stütz- walzeneinbaustücken zu berücksichtigen / zu ermitteln. Der Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, dass die Positionsmessung einen geringeren Gerüstdehnungsanteil enthält. So sind nur die Walzenabplattung und die Walzenbiegung zu berücksichtigen. Andere Anteile, wie die Dehnung der Ständer und der Querhäupter, müssen nicht berechnet werden. Speziell bei einer Messung des Abstandes der Arbeitswalzenbaustü- cke müssen die Aufschwemmung der Morgoil - Lager, die Biegung der Stützwalzen und Stützwalzenexzentrizitäten nicht berücksichtigt werden. Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, wird das aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Verfahren zur Dickenregelung weiterhin vollständig eingesetzt und durch die oben beschriebenen Merkmale verbessert bzw. erweitert.This object is achieved according to the invention by minimizing the amount of skeleton expansion. This happens because at least one additional position measurement is carried out by determining position signals in the nearer region of the roll gap of the rolling stands. In particular, the position signals between the work rolls and / or the back-up rolls and / or the work roll chocks and / or the support roll chocks must be taken into account / determined. The advantage of the method according to the invention is that the position measurement contains a smaller amount of framework expansion. So only the roll flattening and the roll bending are to be considered. Other parts, such as the elongation of the uprights and the crossheads, need not be calculated. Especially when measuring the distance of the work roll chocks, it is not necessary to take into account the Morgoil bearings' flooding, the deflection of the backup rolls and the support roll eccentricities. As shown in Figure 2, the method known from the prior art for thickness control is still fully used and improved or extended by the features described above.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren führt zu einer genaueren Ermittlung der Banddicke bei harten Güten und verbessert speziell beim Dünnbandwalzen das dynamische Verhalten der Dickenregelung.The method according to the invention leads to a more accurate determination of the strip thickness for hard grades and, especially during thin strip rolling, improves the dynamic behavior of the thickness control.
In einer Weiterentwicklung können die erhaltenen Signale auch zur Positionsregelung und / oder zur Schwenkregelung und / oder zur Berechnung der Banddicke und damit zur Regelung der Banddicke verwendet werden.In a further development, the signals obtained can also be used for position regulation and / or for swivel control and / or for calculating the strip thickness and thus for regulating the strip thickness.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand von schematischen Zeichnungen näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to schematic drawings. Show it:

Figur 2 ein Ablaufdiagramm zur Dickenregelung gemäß der Erfindung.Figure 2 is a flow chart for thickness control according to the invention.
In Fig. 1 ist ein Ablaufdiagramm zur bekannten Dickenregelung beim Walzen, insbesondere beim Warmwalzen, dargestellt. Ein beispielsweise aus einem Arbeitswalzenpaar AW und einem Stützwalzenpaar SW bestehendes Walzgerüst W weist eine Bedienseite OS und eine Antriebsseite DS auf. Zwischen dem Arbeitswalzenpaar AW befindet sich ein Band B. Bei dem bekannten Verfahren zur Dickenregelung werden die Zylinderposition der Bedienseite Sos und die Zylinderposition der Antriebsseite SDs ermittelt und die aktuelle, mittlere Zylinderposition SACT bestimmt. Weiterhin wird die Summenwalzkraft FAcτ durch Er- mittlung der Walzkraft Bedienseite Fos und der Walzkraft Antriebsseite FDs bestimmt. Die Gerüstdehnung g wird mit Hilfe der Summenwalzkraft FAcτ und einer Gerüstdehnkurve 1/MG berechnet.In Fig. 1 is a flow chart for the known thickness control during rolling, in particular during hot rolling, shown. An example of a pair of work rolls AW and a pair of support rollers SW existing rolling stand W has an operating side OS and a drive side DS. A strip B is located between the pair of work rolls AW. In the known method for thickness control, the cylinder position of the operating side Sos and the cylinder position of the drive side S D s are determined and the current, mean cylinder position S AC T determined. Further, the total rolling force F A cτ is ER- averaging the rolling force operating side Fos and the rolling force F drive side D s determined. The gantry expansion g is calculated with the aid of the total rolling force F A cτ and a gantry expansion curve 1 / M G.
Die aktuelle Banddicke hAcτwird durch Messung der aktuellen, mittleren Zylinderposition SACT und der berechneten Gerüstdehnung g ermittelt. Die aktuelle Banddicke hAcτ wird mit dem Banddickensollwert hREF verglichen und zur Dickenregelung verwendet. Der Dickenregler liefert den Positionssollwert für die Zylinderpositionsregelung.The actual strip thickness h A cτ is determined by measuring the current, average cylinder position S AC T and the calculated gantry strain g. The actual strip thickness h A cτ is compared with the strip thickness setpoint h REF and used for thickness control. The thickness controller supplies the position setpoint for the cylinder position control.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird die bekannte Dickenregelung gemäß dem Ablauf- diagramm nach Figur 2 verbessert. Hierzu wird beispielsweise der Abstand der Arbeitswalzeneinbaustücke auf der Bedienseite SROS und auf der Antriebsseite SRDS gemessen und dann der mittlere Abstand der Arbeitswalzeneinbaustücke SR bestimmt. Der weiterhin ermittelte Wert für die aktuelle, mittlere Zylinderposition SACT wird direkt mit dem Zylinderpositionssollwert SREF verglichen.According to the invention, the known thickness control according to the flowchart of Figure 2 is improved. For this purpose, the distance between the work roll chocks on the operator side S ROS and on the drive side S S RD is, for example, measured and then the average distance of the work roll chocks S R determined. The further determined value for the current, average cylinder position S A CT is compared directly with the cylinder position setpoint S REF .
Die ebenfalls weiterhin ermittelten Werte der Walzkraft Bedienseite Fos und der Walzkraft Antriebsseite FDs führen zur Summenwalzkraft FAcτ- Diese werden erfindungsgemäß mit einem Gerüstmodul MR, der auf die Arbeitswalzeneinbaustücke bezogen ist, kombiniert und anschließend die Gerüstdehnung gR ermittelt.The likewise determined further values of the rolling force operating side Fos and the rolling force drive side F D s lead to the total rolling force F A cτ- these are inventively combined with a scaffold module M R , which is based on the work roll chocks, and then the gantry strain g R determined.
Das Gerüstmodul MR hängt erfindungsgemäß ab von der gewählten Positionsmessung. Die für das Verfahren zu berücksichtigenden Positionssignale der Positionsmessung, wobei mindestens ein Positionssignal benötigt wird, werden zwischen den Arbeitswalzen AW und / oder den Stützwalzen SW und / oder den Arbeitswalzeneinbaustücken und / oder den Stützwalzeneinbaustücken ermittelt. Die bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zu berücksichtigende Gerüstdehnung ist jeweils auf den Ort des erhaltenen Positionssignals abzustimmen.The scaffold module M R depends according to the invention on the selected position measurement. The position measurement position signals to be taken into account for the method, wherein at least one position signal is required, are provided between the work rolls AW and / or the backup rolls SW and / or the work roll chocks and / or the backup roll chocks determined. The framework strain to be taken into account in the method according to the invention is to be matched in each case to the location of the position signal obtained.
Der Abstand auf der Bedienseite SROS und der Abstand auf der Antriebsseite SRDS führen zum mittleren Abstand der beispielsweise Arbeitswalzeneinbaustü- cke SR. AUS dem Abstand der Arbeitswalzeneinbaustücke SR und der Gerüstdehnung bezogen auf die Arbeitswalzeneinbaustücke gR wird die aktuelle Banddicke hAcτ ermittelt und mit dem Banddickensollwert hREF verglichen und ausgeregelt. The distance on the operating side SR OS and the distance on the drive side SRD S lead to the average distance of the example Arbeitswalzeneinbaustü- ck S R. From the distance of the work roll chocks S R and the frame strain with respect to the work roll chocks g R the actual tape thickness h A cτ is determined and compared with the band thickness setpoint h RE F and corrected.
