  • a thermometer 40 and a shape meter 41 are provided at the boundary between the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2, that is, downstream of the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2.
  • the cooling section is divided into two divided cooling sections, but the number of divisions is not limited to this and can be arbitrarily set.
  • the cooling section may be divided into 1 to 5 divided cooling sections.
  • the temperature and the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H on the downstream side of the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2 are measured by the thermometers 40 and the shape meters 41, respectively. And based on these measurement results, the cooling capacity of the upper side cooling device 14a and the lower side cooling device 14b in each division
  • the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b is feedback-controlled based on the measurement results of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 on the downstream side, and the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and At least one of the bottom surface cooling heat removal amount is adjusted.

In any case, at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount is adjusted in the divided cooling zone Z2.
  • the method for controlling the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b based on the measurement results of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 is the same as that in the above embodiment described with reference to FIGS. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.
  • the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be cooled more uniformly.
  • the measurement results of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 are used.
  • at least one of the steepness of the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the sheet passing speed may be used.
  • the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H corresponding to at least the steepness or the sheet passing speed is corrected by the same method as the above-described embodiment described with reference to FIGS.
  • the hot rolled steel sheet H it is possible to finish the hot rolled steel sheet H so as to have a uniform shape and material in the sheet width direction.
  • the temperature standard deviation in the sheet width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is caused by the fact that the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction is alternately generated on the left and right, so if the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction is reduced, The temperature standard deviation in the width direction is further reduced.
  • FIG. 18 shows an example of a state in which wave shapes having different amplitudes are formed in the plate width direction of the hot-rolled steel plate H by medium elongation. As described above, even when wave shapes having different amplitudes occur in the plate width direction and a temperature standard deviation is formed in the plate width direction, according to the above-described embodiment, the temperature standard in the plate width direction is formed. The deviation can be reduced.
  • Example 1 The inventor of the present application uses, as a material, high tension (so-called high-tensile steel plate) with a plate thickness of 2.3 mm and a plate width of 1200 mm as a material, and forms a medium wave shape and an ear wave shape in the material, respectively, and the steepness is determined.
  • High tension so-called high-tensile steel plate
  • Cold rolling gauge fluctuation sheet thickness fluctuation
  • average in the sheet width direction in the subsequent process ie, cold rolling process
  • Temperature fluctuation was measured and evaluated.
  • Example 1 the steepness when the medium wave shape is formed is represented as -0.5% to -2%, and the case where the ear wave shape is formed. The steepness was expressed as 0.5% to 2%. Further, the measurement of the medium wave shape and the ear wave shape was measured using a commercially available shape measuring instrument, and the measurement location of the medium wave shape is the center portion of the plate within 30 mm on the left and right sides of the plate center. The measurement location was 25 mm from the edge of the plate.
  • the measurement results and evaluation results are shown in Table 5 below.
  • the evaluation criteria in the following examples are A (good as a product) in which the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation in the subsequent process is suppressed to 0 to 25 ⁇ m, and B (allowable range) in which 25 to 50 ⁇ m. In this case, the value exceeding 50 ⁇ m is evaluated as C (product defect).
  • the comprehensive evaluation in Table 5 will be described later.
  • Table 5 the temperature standard deviation of each wave shape in the steel sheet rolling direction is also shown for reference.
  • the cold rolling gauge fluctuation in the cold rolling process is 30 ⁇ m to 120 ⁇ m.
  • the shape of the ear wave was formed (when the steepness was 0.5% to 2% in the table)
  • the cold rolling gauge fluctuation in the cold rolling process was 21 ⁇ m to 84 ⁇ m.
  • the plate thickness fluctuation in the cold rolling process of the steel plate is small in order to suppress a decrease in yield such as product defects. Therefore, as shown in Table 5 above, when an ear wave shape is formed on a steel sheet, if the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 1%, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation is small (for example, Table 5). It was found that the evaluations A and B) can be suppressed. Furthermore, it was found that when the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 0.5%, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation can be suppressed to a smaller value (for example, evaluation A in Table 5).
  • Example 2 Next, the inventor of the present application forms a medium wave shape and an ear wave shape in the same material as in Example 1 as Example 2, and the steepness is 0% (no wave formation) to 2%.
  • the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation sheet thickness fluctuation
  • the sheet width direction average temperature fluctuation in the subsequent process that is, cold rolling process
  • the plate thickness variation in the cold rolling process is small in order to suppress a decrease in yield such as product defects. Therefore, as shown in Table 6 above, in the case where an ear wave shape is formed on a steel sheet, if the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 1.5%, the cold-rolling gauge variation is small (for example, It was found that evaluations A and B) in Table 6 were suppressed. Therefore, when the plate passing speed is increased, the control range of the ear wave shape can be extended to 1.5%. Furthermore, it was found that when the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 0.5%, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation can be suppressed to a smaller value (for example, evaluation A in Table 6).
  • Example 3 the inventor of the present application forms a medium wave shape and an ear wave shape in the same material as in Examples 1 and 2 as Example 3, and the steepness is 0% (no wave formation) to 2%.
  • the cold-rolled gauge fluctuation sheet thickness fluctuation
  • the sheet width direction average temperature fluctuation in the subsequent process that is, cold rolling process
  • the evaluation is A with a steepness of 0%. It is only necessary to control the steepness to 0% at any time, but at this steepness of 0%, the gain related to gauge fluctuation is changed between the ear wave shape and the medium wave shape. Control that constantly changes the gain is not very preferable, so the steepness of the ear wave shape is controlled to be over 0%, such as 0.05% or more, or 0.1% or more. It is desirable to cool the hot-rolled steel sheet. For this reason, in Tables 5 to 7, the overall evaluation with a steepness of 0% is C.
  • the evaluation is B with a steepness of -0.5% or -1%.
  • the steepness of ⁇ 0.5% or less is a case where a medium-wave shape is formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet, and the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation in the subsequent process cannot be sufficiently suppressed. Therefore, in Tables 5 to 7, C is a comprehensive evaluation with a steepness of ⁇ 0.5% or less.
  • the present invention is useful when cooling a hot-rolled steel sheet that has been hot-rolled by a finish rolling mill and has a corrugated shape whose surface height varies in the rolling direction.
