Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cooling device that cools the lower surface of a hot-rolled steel sheet that is transported on a transport roll after finish rolling in a hot rolling process, and a cooling method that uses the cooling device.
- a non-uniform temperature distribution may occur in the sheet width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet due to various factors.
- streaky non-uniform temperature distribution extending in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet is generated in the sheet width direction.
- the distribution in the plate width direction of the lubricant remaining after finishing rolling are several factors, depending on the scale remaining in the descaling performed before finish rolling and finish rolling before entering the cooling after finish rolling, and the distribution in the plate width direction of the lubricant remaining after finishing rolling. And those due to the non-uniformity of the cooling water spray provided between the stands of the finishing mill, and those due to the heating furnace.
- non-uniform temperature distribution may occur due to poor maintenance of the cooling device.
- the coiling temperature is the temperature of the steel plate immediately before the winding device when the steel plate is wound after the cooling step after finish rolling.
- the vapor film collapses first in the low temperature part due to the non-uniform temperature distribution before cooling, and enters the transition boiling region and is rapidly cooled.
- the temperature deviation is larger than the temperature deviation on the inlet side of the cooling device.
- the effect of surface texture unevenness also causes the vapor film to selectively collapse first at locations where the surface roughness is large or where the scale is thick, and after cooling, the temperature reaches several times that on the inlet side of the cooling device. There arises a problem that the deviation increases.
- the cooling amount is selectively limited to the low temperature part based on the temperature distribution information before or during the cooling, or the high temperature part. It is conceivable to make the temperature distribution after cooling uniform by increasing the cooling amount. It is also considered that the temperature distribution after cooling can be made uniform as follows. That is, unevenness of the surface properties such as scale cannot always be detected by the temperature distribution information before cooling. However, the influence often appears in the temperature distribution during cooling. Therefore, by measuring the temperature distribution at an appropriate timing, that is, before the vapor film collapses in earnest and causing a fatal non-uniform temperature distribution, and controlling the cooling amount based on the information, It is considered that the temperature distribution after cooling can be made uniform. Therefore, the inventions shown below have been made.
- Patent Document 1 provides a control cylinder for supplying a pilot pressure for turning on and off the on / off valves of each injection nozzle in a spray header in which injection nozzles having built-in on / off valves that are opened and closed by pilot pressure are arranged.
- the spray width control device controls the injection of the cooling water of the injection nozzle by controlling the internal pressure in the control cylinder by the position of the piston rod that moves on the screw rotated by the variable motor
- An edge mask or a front and tail mask is formed by adjusting a pilot pressure for operation of the on-off valve to a specific injection nozzle set in advance among a plurality of injection nozzles provided.
- a method for cooling a steel sheet is disclosed.
- Patent Document 2 discloses an injection device that injects a fluid into cooling water ejected toward a steel pipe and changes the flow of the cooling water in a direction that does not hit the steel pipe, and a cooling water that changes the flow direction by the injection device.
- the steel pipe cooling device provided with these is disclosed.
- a cylindrical header having a slit for blowing up a plate-like water flow, and a recess for gradually blocking the water flow from the widthwise end of the blown up water flow toward the center in the width direction, are concentric with the header.
- a width adjusting body that is rotatable, and a cooling device for a hot rolled material are concentric with the header.
- a plurality of nozzles for adding a coolant to the hot-rolled steel sheet are installed in the width direction on both sides of the upper surface and the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet. It is disclosed that it is controlled in such a manner that a coolant is added at a location where high temperatures are detectable.
- a plurality of temperature sensors are further installed in the width direction, and these temperature sensors detect the temperature distribution in the width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet and depend on the signal of the temperature sensor, the nozzle The amount of the coolant from the control unit can be controlled.
- Patent Document 5 in the cooling device, a plurality of cooling water headers in which a plurality of cooling water supply nozzle groups are linearly arranged are arranged above the hot-rolled steel plate in the width direction, and the temperature in the plate width direction is set. It is disclosed that the flow rate of cooling water is controlled based on a temperature distribution measured by a temperature distribution sensor that detects the distribution. Specifically, these cooling water headers are provided with an on / off control valve, and the cooling water is controlled by the on / off control valve.
- Hot-rolled steel sheet has a very high conveying speed ( ⁇ winding speed) of several m / s to twenty-several m / s. For this reason, in order to switch the start and stop of cooling water injection from the cooling water nozzle according to the uneven temperature distribution of the steel sheet before and during cooling in the rolling direction, the switching response time is made as short as possible. Need to control at high speed.
- nozzles having built-in on-off valves that are opened and closed by pilot pressure are arranged in the plate width direction.
- the range which supplies the pilot pressure required for turning off cooling water injection can be selected within the range previously set in the plate width direction, and cooling water injection can be selectively stopped.
- the ON / OFF response time of cooling water injection depends on the moving speed of the piston rod.
- the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a small movement amount due to the rotation of the screw, and it is difficult to perform ON / OFF control about three times or more per second. Therefore, there is a limit to deal with non-uniform temperature distribution with a fine pitch (for example, 10 m or less).
- Patent Document 2 it is disclosed that the state of not cooling by changing the direction of the flow of the cooling water for cooling the steel pipe is realized, but only in this switching technique, in the sheet width direction of the steel plate. It was not possible to control the temperature at an arbitrary position.
- the shielding plate is rotated so that the cooling water flow does not hit the end of the steel plate, but the temperature control at an arbitrary position in the plate width direction of the steel plate could not be performed. .
- FIG. 9 of Patent Document 4 shows a state in which the nozzles are arranged in the plate width direction, but how the coolant is controlled on the upstream side of the pipe connected to the nozzles. Is not disclosed. For example, when the pipe connected to the nozzle is not filled with the coolant, the responsiveness when adding the coolant from the nozzle is poor by simply controlling the amount of the coolant.
- Patent Document 4 discloses control of the coolant amount in the sheet width direction, but does not disclose control of the coolant in the rolling direction. In such a case, it is difficult to suppress the streak-like uneven temperature distribution that extends in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet. In addition, there is water on the plate on the upper surface, and the plate width direction temperature of the hot-rolled steel plate cannot be sufficiently controlled. In view of the above, in the cooling device described in Patent Document 4, the temperature in the sheet width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet cannot be sufficiently uniform, and there is room for improvement.
- the cooling device described in Patent Document 5 has the same problem as Patent Document 4 described above. That is, the cooling water is controlled by the on / off control valve. Similarly to the above, the responsiveness is poor when the piping connected to the nozzle is not always filled with the cooling water. Also, a plurality of cooling water headers are provided in the sheet width direction, but only one is provided in the rolling direction, and the temperature in the rolling direction cannot be controlled with respect to the hot-rolled steel sheet. It is difficult to suppress the non-uniform temperature distribution.
- cooling water is sprayed onto the upper surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet to cool it, but the upper surface has water on the plate, and the temperature in the plate width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet is set. There is not enough control. Furthermore, if the water on the plate is not drained appropriately, temperature measurement by the temperature distribution sensor cannot be performed accurately, and there is room for improvement in temperature control.
- high-tensile steel plates are greatly affected by cooling.
- High-strength steel sheets have a greater effect on the final product properties than the conventional material, so the uneven temperature distribution, which was not noticeable with conventional materials, greatly affects the strength of high-strength steel sheets. To do. Therefore, when manufacturing a high-tensile steel plate, it is required to perform cooling control with higher accuracy than when manufacturing a conventional material.
- the techniques proposed so far to control the cooling temperature of the steel sheet with the cooling water supplied from the upper surface side of the steel sheet have the following problems, for example. (1) The cooling water supplied from the upper surface side of the steel sheet collides with the upper surface of the steel sheet, and then stays on the upper surface of the steel sheet and becomes on-plate water.
- the steel plate When the cooling water is supplied from the upper surface side, the steel plate is also cooled by the on-plate water in addition to the location where the cooling water collides, particularly in the temperature region where the steel plate temperature falls below 550 ° C. In high-tensile steel plates, this effect is particularly great, and therefore the non-uniform temperature distribution is larger than in conventional materials.
- thermometer In order to perform highly accurate cooling temperature control with the cooling water supplied from the upper surface side of the steel plate, it is necessary to remove the water on the plate using a draining facility. In order to make it easy to increase the measurement accuracy of the temperature, the thermometer is installed at a location that is not easily affected by the drainage equipment, that is, at a position away from the cooling water nozzle that injects cooling water in the rolling direction. As a result, the time from when the temperature is measured until the water collides becomes longer, and the temperature change within this time increases, so the control accuracy of the cooling temperature decreases.
- the sheet width direction temperature of the steel sheet As described above, in the conventional technology that attempts to control the sheet width direction cooling temperature of the steel sheet with the cooling water supplied from the upper surface side of the steel sheet, the sheet width direction temperature with a high level of accuracy required when manufacturing a high strength steel sheet. It was difficult to control.

From these viewpoints, when the jet deflecting plate 329 is inclined by 5 degrees or more and 10 degrees or less with respect to the vertical direction, the jet deflecting plate 329 is arranged so that substantially all of the cooling water jet collides with the lower surface of the guide plate 125. It is desirable to design so that can be changed.

Abstract
Description
しかしながら、特に鋼板温度が550℃を下回る辺りから、鋼板温度の低下とともに発生する蒸気の量は減少する。そして、鋼板表面を覆っていた蒸気膜が崩壊し始め、蒸気膜の分布が時間的および空間的に変化する遷移沸騰域となる。その結果、冷却の不均一性が増加し、鋼板の板幅方向および圧延方向における温度分布の不均一性が急激に拡大し易くなる。このため、鋼板温度のコントロールが難しくなり、鋼板全体を狙い通りの巻取温度で冷却し終えることが困難になる。
そこで、以下に示すような発明がこれまでなされてきた。
しかしながら、冷却水噴射のON/OFFの応答時間はピストンロッドの移動速度に依存する。特許文献1に開示されている技術は、ねじの回転による移動のため移動量が少なく、1秒間に約3回以上のON/OFF制御をすることは困難である。よって、細かいピッチ(例えば10m以下)の不均一温度分布に対応するには限界があった。
特許文献3に開示された技術では、鋼板の端部に冷却水流が当たらないように遮蔽板を回転させているが、鋼板の板幅方向において任意の位置の温度制御をすることができなかった。
(1)鋼板の上面側から供給した冷却水は、鋼板の上面に衝突した後、鋼板の上面に滞留し、板上水になる。上面側から冷却水を供給すると、特に鋼板温度が550℃を下回る温度領域では、冷却水を衝突させた箇所に加えて、板上水によっても、鋼板が冷却される。高張力鋼板では、この影響が特に大きいため、従来材よりも不均一温度分布が大きくなる。
(2)鋼板の上面側から供給した冷却水は、鋼板の上面に衝突した後、その一部が鋼板の板幅方向へと流れる。この板幅方向へと流れた水が、鋼板の上面側から供給された冷却水と干渉する。そのため、上面側から供給した冷却水によって、鋼板の板幅方向温度を高精度で制御することは困難である。
(3)鋼板の上面側から供給した冷却水によって精度の高い冷却温度制御を行うためには、水切設備を用いて板上水を除去する必要がある。温度の測定精度を高めやすくするために、温度計は水切設備の影響を受け難い箇所、すなわち、冷却水を噴射する冷却水ノズルから圧延方向に離れた位置に設置される。その結果、温度が測定されてから水が衝突するまでの時間が長くなり、この時間内の温度変化が大きくなるため、冷却温度の制御精度が低下する。
以上のように、鋼板の上面側から供給した冷却水によって鋼板の板幅方向冷却温度を制御しようとする従来技術では、高張力鋼板を製造する際に求められるレベルの精度の高い板幅方向温度制御を行うことは困難であった。
ここで、「冷却水ノズルから噴射される冷却水の、分割冷却面への衝突および非衝突」のうち、「分割冷却面への衝突」とは、分割冷却面に熱延鋼板の下面が存在する場合に冷却水が当該熱延鋼板の下面に衝突するような冷却水の噴射を意味する。一方、「分割冷却面への非衝突」とは、分割冷却面に熱延鋼板の下面が存在する場合に冷却水が当該熱延鋼板の下面に衝突しない状態を意味する。
このとき、弁は三方弁であってもよく、三方弁を搬送ロールの、板幅方向の側方に設けられるとともに、冷却水ノズルの先端と同じ高さに配置してもよい。
図1は第1形態における冷却装置を備えた熱延鋼板の製造装置(以下、「熱間圧延設備」と称する。)10の構成の概略を示す説明図である。
下側冷却装置16は、ランアウトテーブルの搬送ロール18上を搬送される鋼板搬送領域の下方から、当該鋼板搬送領域の下面に向けて鉛直上方に冷却水を噴射して鋼板搬送領域を冷却する冷却装置であり、その構成は特に限定されることなく公知の冷却装置を適用することができる。
本形態における下側幅方向制御冷却装置17は、冷却水ノズル20と、中間ヘッダー21、配管23、給水ヘッダー25、三方弁24、および排水ヘッダー26を具備する切替装置と、温度測定装置30、31と、制御装置27とを有して概略構成されている。
分割冷却面A3の圧延方向の長さは、特に限定されることはなく、適宜設定することができる。図5に示す分割冷却面A3の圧延方向の長さは、搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間1ピッチと同じ長さに設定されている。また、図7には、搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間2ピッチ分の長さに設定された例を示す。このように分割冷却面A3の圧延方向の長さは、搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間ピッチの整数倍の長さであれば良い。
なお、圧延方向に隣接して配列される複数の分割冷却面A3の圧延方向長さは同じである必要はなく、互いに異なってもよい。例えば、図8に示したように、分割冷却面A3の圧延方向長さを上流側から下流側へ、搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間1ピッチ分、2ピッチ分、4ピッチ分、8ピッチ分、16ピッチ分、…というように順次長くしていくこともできる。
本形態で冷却水ノズル20は、鋼板搬送領域を上から見た平面視において、1つの分割冷却面A3に4つの冷却水ノズル20が属するように配置されている。本形態では4つの冷却水ノズル20は平面視において、隣り合う搬送ロール18の間のそれぞれに配置され、圧延方向に並べられている。1つの分割冷却面A3に属する冷却水ノズル20の数および配置は特に限定されることはなく、1つでもよいし、複数であってもよい。隣り合う分割冷却面A3同士で冷却水ノズル20の数や配置が異なってもよい。
なお、冷却水ノズル20から吐出させる水量および流速は板幅方向、圧延方向の各冷却水ノズル20で同一とし、冷却能力を同一とする方が制御は容易である。また、圧延方向の同じ位置にある板幅方向に並んだ各冷却分割面A3に設置される冷却水ノズル20の数、吐出水量および吐出流速を同一とし、板幅方向に並ぶ各分割冷却面A3での冷却能力を同一とする方が制御は容易である。
なお、板幅方向に配置された分割冷却面A3に属する吐出水量および吐出流速が同一な冷却水ノズル20では、その配置が板幅方向に隣り合う冷却水ノズル20の中心間距離がすべて等距離になるように配置されていることが好ましい。これにより板幅方向における均一な冷却をより高い精度で行うことができる。
なお、冷却水ノズル20の吐出水量および吐出流速に基づく冷却能力が板幅方向、圧延方向で異なっていても、制御装置27により制御することは可能である。
図10に示した例は、分割冷却面A3の圧延方向長さが搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間1ピッチ分であり、各分割冷却面A3に1つの冷却水ノズル20が属している。
図11に示した例は、分割冷却面A3の圧延方向長さが搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間1ピッチ分であり、各分割冷却面A3に2つの冷却水ノズル20が配置されている。この2つの冷却水ノズル20は圧延方向に配列されてもよいし、板幅方向に配列されてもよい。また、図11のように圧延方向および板幅方向のいずれにもずれるように配置してもよい。
図12に示した例は、分割冷却面A3の圧延方向長さが搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間2ピッチ分であり、各分割冷却面A3には4つの冷却水ノズル20が配置されている。
図13に示した例は、分割冷却面A3の圧延方向長さが、上流側から搬送ロール18の圧延方向ロール間1ピッチ分、2ピッチ分、4ピッチ分、8ピッチ分…と変化し、圧延方向に隣り合う分割冷却面A3でそれぞれの分割冷却面A3に属する冷却水ノズル20の数が異なる例である。
そして中間ヘッダー21は1つの分割冷却面A3に1つとなるように配置される。これにより、分割冷却面A3毎に冷却水の噴射と停止の切替制御を行うことができる。
本形態の三方弁24は分流型であり、給水ヘッダー25からの水を、配管23に導いて中間ヘッダー21、さらには冷却水ノズル20に給水するか、排水ヘッダー26に導くかを切り替える弁である。なお、本形態では排水のための部位として排水ヘッダー26を例示したが、その態様は特に限定されることはない。
本形態の三方弁24の替わりに2つの止め弁(広義に流体の流れを止めるための弁、ON/OFF弁と呼ばれることもある。)を設置して三方弁と同様に制御を行うことも可能である。
上流側温度測定装置30は、幅分割冷却帯A2のそれぞれに対応して配置されることが好ましく、従って図示の例では、上流側温度測定装置30は、各幅分割冷却帯A2の上流側における温度(すなわち冷却される前の温度)を測定できるように板幅方向に6個並べて設けられている。これにより下側幅方向制御冷却装置17の上流側における熱延鋼板2の板幅方向の温度を全幅に亘って測定できる。
下流側温度測定装置31は、幅分割冷却帯A2に対応して配置されることが好ましく、図示の例では、下流側温度測定装置31は、冷却後における各幅分割冷却帯A2の温度を測定できるように板幅方向に6個並べて設けられている。これにより下側幅方向制御冷却装置17よりも圧延方向下流側における熱延鋼板2の板幅方向の温度を全幅に亘って測定できる。
そして、その計算結果に基づいて、制御装置27は、三方弁24の開閉をフィードフォワード制御する。すなわち、制御装置27は、分割冷却面A3毎に熱延鋼板2の温度を均一化するための冷却量を実現するために、三方弁24の開閉を制御し、分割冷却面A3毎に冷却水ノズル20から噴射される冷却水の、熱延鋼板2の下面への衝突と非衝突とを制御する。
また、かかるフィードバック制御をフィードフォワード制御結果の補正制御として適用することもできる。このように、下側幅方向制御冷却装置17では、上流側温度測定装置30の測定結果による三方弁24のフィードフォワード制御と、下流側温度測定装置31の測定結果による三方弁24のフィードバック制御とを統合させて行うこともできる。
なお、フィードフォワード制御又はフィードバック制御をいずれか一方のみを行う場合には、上流側温度測定装置30又は下流側温度測定装置31のいずれか一方を省略してもよい。
これに対して、下側幅方向制御冷却装置17を下側冷却装置16の中間に配置すれば、上側冷却装置15、下側冷却装置16による冷却が不均一であったとしても、それによる不均一温度分布を除去することができる。
また、下側幅方向制御冷却装置17を下側冷却装置16の下流側に設置すれば、巻取温度の不均一温度分布を低減することができる。
第2形態では、熱間圧延設備10の下側幅方向制御冷却装置17の代わりに配置される下側幅方向制御冷却装置117において、第1形態の切替装置の三方弁24の代わりに冷却水進行方向変更装置126、226、326およびガイド板125が配置され、排水エリアはあるが、排水ヘッダーがなくなったものである。その他の構成については第1形態と同様の構成を適用することができるので、第1形態の場合と同じ符号を付して説明を省略する。
ガイド板125の上面と分割冷却面A3の距離は特に限定されないが、例えば20mm程度とすることができる。
また、水切板125dは、冷却水進行方向変更装置126から気体を噴射している時、冷却水ノズル20から噴射された冷却水が片125bに衝突した後に、冷却水ノズル20側に飛び散ることを回避し、冷却水ノズル20から噴射された冷却水噴流に干渉することを防止する作用も有する。水切板125dは冷却水ノズル20から噴射された冷却水噴流および冷却水進行方向変更装置126から噴射された気体の流れを妨げないように設置されている。
一方、水切板125dの長さについては、上記干渉を十分に防止できる長さが確保できれば良く、50mm以上150mm以下程度とすることが望ましい。
弁129は、制御装置27からの信号に基づいてガスノズル130からの気体の噴射の開始および停止を制御する。このような弁としては電磁弁を挙げることができる。また1つの分割冷却面A3に属する冷却水ノズル20に対して、冷却水ノズル20の数に応じてガスノズル130を配置することによって、分割冷却面A3毎に鋼板搬送領域の下面への冷却水の衝突および非衝突を制御することができる。
弁129が制御装置27からの信号を受けて作動することによって、冷却水ノズル20から噴射されている冷却水噴流に向けてガスノズル130から気体を噴射させる。これにより、冷却水ノズル20から噴射されている冷却水噴流が気体の流れに押されて方向が変わる。その結果、ガイド板125の下面に冷却水が衝突するため、冷却水は噴射口125aを通過できなくなる。これにより冷却水が分割冷却面A3に衝突することを妨げることができ、熱延鋼板2の冷却が停止される。
従って、エアーシリンダ228を動かすことにより、冷却水ノズル20を傾けることができる。すなわち、図19に示した冷却水ノズル20の姿勢では、鉛直方向上方に冷却水を噴射することができ、エアーシリンダ228を動かすことによって図20に示したように冷却水ノズル20を鉛直方向に対して所定の角度に傾斜させることができる。
従って、エアーシリンダ328を動かすことにより、噴流偏向板329を傾けることができる。すなわち、図21に示した噴流偏向板329の姿勢では、冷却水ノズル20から噴射された冷却水に当たらない位置に噴流偏向板329があり、エアーシリンダ328を動かすことによって、図22に示したように、冷却水ノズル20から噴射された冷却水に当たるように、噴流偏向板329を鉛直方向に対して所定の角度傾斜させることができる。
効果の検証において、実施例1の冷却装置として、図2に示した下側幅方向制御冷却装置17を用いた。また比較例1の冷却装置として、下側幅方向制御冷却装置17を用いることなく従来の下側冷却装置16を適用した。
一方、比較例1の操業条件は、板幅方向の冷却制御機能はなく、噴射する冷却水の水量密度は0.7m3/m2/minとした。
そして比較例1によれば標準温度偏差は23.9℃であった。標準温度偏差は、赤外線温度画像測定装置により測定した結果から、鋼板の先端および尾端各10mと、さらに両端各50mmを除いた鋼板温度の全測定点から求めた。
そして実施例1によれば標準温度偏差は8.8℃であった。従って、本発明によれば、熱延鋼板の板幅方向温度を均一化できることが分かった。
操業条件は実施例1と同様にし、下側幅方向制御冷却装置の圧延方向における冷却長さは実施例1と同様、搬送ロール間8か所分の長さとした。下側幅方向制御冷却装置は、第2形態の切替装置で冷却水進行方向変更装置は冷却水進行方向変更装置126を用い、図10に示すように、1つの分割冷却面A3に1つの切替装置を設置した。応答速度は0.18秒であった。また、噴射する冷却水の水量密度は2m3/m2/minとした。下側幅方向制御冷却装置の設置位置は巻取装置に近い側(下側冷却装置の下流側)とした。
