- FIG. 3 is a view for explaining the movement of plate thickness change points during rolling.
- FIG. 3 in Timing 1, there is a thickness change point 54 at the position of the first stand F1.
- the thickness change point 54 has moved to the exit side of the fifth stand F5.
- the thickness change point 54 has moved to a position immediately below the winder-before-thermometer 28.
- the roll gap is narrowed.
- the roll gap of each stand is narrowed in order to reduce the thickness of the rolled material at each outlet side of the second stand F2 to the fifth stand F5.
- the change of the roll gap of each stand is also performed at each timing when the thickness change point 54 has moved to the positions of the second stand F2 to the fifth stand F5.
- FIG. 4 which showed the speed of the rolled material in the exit side of each stand when this kind of rolling was performed.
- the vertical axis in FIG. 4 represents the speed of the rolled material at the outlet side of each stand of the finishing mill.
- the temperature of the strip on the exit side of the final stand changes in a complicated manner. Not only changing the speed but also increasing the rolling reduction of the stand increases the process heat generated by the deformation and the frictional heat generated between the roll and the rolled material, thereby increasing the temperature of the rolled material.
- the thickness of the rolled material decreases, the surface area of the rolled material increases, so the temperature of the rolled material tends to decrease.
- the temperature of the rolled material changes in a complex manner.
- FIG. 5 is a view for explaining problems when the thickness and speed of the rolled material gradually change.
- the CT measurement value shown in FIG. 5 represents the temperature measurement value from the coiling-tool thermometer 28 (Coiling Thermometer) shown in FIG.
- the CT measurement value is increased mainly because the cooling time is shortened by the increase in the speed of the rolled material on the exit side of the final stand F5.
- the flow rate of the cooling water can be increased to achieve the target temperature by feedback control, the temperature decreases at the timing of passing through the pre-winder thermometer 28. This is because the plate thickness becomes small after the plate thickness change point, the temperature is apt to decrease, and the cooling water is excessively cooled by the flow rate of the cooling water increased by the feedback control output.
- the CT thickness immediately below the CT shown in FIG. 5 represents the thickness of the strip immediately below the pre-winder thermometer 28. As described in FIGS. 3 to 4, in Timing 1, the thickness change point is at the position of the first stand F1. Therefore, in Timing 1, the plate thickness immediately below CT is the same as before (previous material). The thickness immediately below the CT changes at Timing 3 where the thickness change point passes immediately below the pre-winding thermometer 28.
- the speed immediately below the CT shown in FIG. 5 represents the speed of the strip immediately below the pre-winder thermometer 28.
- the speed of the strip on the outlet side of the fifth stand F5 gradually increases at the timing of narrowing the roll gap of each stand.
- the pre-winder thermometer 28 is located downstream of the finishing mill 16. Therefore, the velocity just below CT gradually increases between Timing 1 and Timing 2 similarly to the velocity of the strip at the exit side of the fifth stand F5.
- the total flow rate shown in FIG. 5 represents the total flow rate of the cooling water from the cooling device 34 shown in FIG.
- the total flow rate reflects a corrected flow rate based on feedback control based on an error between a target temperature of the strip immediately below the winder-before-thermometer 28 and a CT measurement value, that is, an FB flow rate.
- the FB flow rate is increased as the CT measurement value after Timing 1 increases, and thereby the Total flow rate is increased.
- the CT measurement value exceeds the upper limit immediately after Timing 1.
- feed forward control of the flow rate of the cooling water from the cooling device 34 is performed in parallel with the feedback control.
- the total flow rate is changed from Timing 2 to Timing 3 by feed forward control.
- the feedforward control is started at a timing when the thickness change point reaches the cooling device 34 (specifically, a timing slightly after Timing 2). Therefore, the Total flow rate decreases after this timing.
- feedback control is already performed before this timing. Therefore, there is a possibility that the CT measurement value may be greatly reduced due to the strong influence of the FB flow rate. In fact, in the example shown in FIG. 5, the CT measurement value exceeds the lower limit before and after Timing 3.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing when the temperature control device according to the first embodiment of the present invention performs an operation related to a change in running plate thickness.
- 7 and 8 are diagrams showing the movement of the rolling material at each timing described in FIG. In FIGS. 6 to 8, it will be described on the premise that the leading material 60 and the trailing material 62 are present in a single rolled material, and the target thickness on the outlet side of the finishing mill 16 is different between the two. .
- the temperature control device first carries out calculation of setting of the leading material 60 at the timing when the leading material 60 is extracted from the heating furnace 12 (see Timing 6.1 in FIG. 7) (step S10). Specifically, the temperature control device calculates the thickness schedule of the preceding material 60 and the thickness change time by the running-plate thickness change amount determining function. In addition, the temperature control device calculates the amount of speed change by the speed change calculation function based on the thickness schedule. Then, the temperature control device creates the velocity pattern of the preceding material 60 by the velocity pattern creation function based on the velocity change amount.
- the temperature control device carries out calculation of setting of the leading material 60 at the timing when the leading end 60a of the leading material 60 reaches the position of the finishing mill entrance thermometer 24 (see Timing 6.2 in FIG. 7). (Step S12). Specifically, the temperature control device calculates the thickness schedule of the preceding material 60 and the thickness change time by the running-plate thickness change amount determining function. In addition, the temperature control device calculates the amount of speed change by the speed change calculation function based on the thickness schedule. Then, the temperature control device updates the velocity pattern of the preceding material 60 by the velocity pattern generation function based on the velocity change amount (first update).
- the temperature control device also determines the initial flow rate by the initial power determination function based on the velocity pattern of the updated first preceding material 60.
- the initial flow rate is an initial value of the flow rate of cooling water supplied from the cooling devices 32 and 34 to cool the preceding material 60. Then, the temperature control device starts feedforward control of the amount of cooling water supplied from the cooling devices 32 and 34 by the feedforward control function based on the initial flow rate.
- the temperature control device carries out calculation of setting of the following material 62 at a timing at which the following material 62 is extracted from the heating furnace 12 (see Timing 6.3 in FIG. 7) (step S14).
- the temperature control device determines the thickness schedule and thickness of the following material 62 by the function of determining the thickness change between running plates. Calculate change time.
- the temperature control device calculates the amount of speed change by the speed change calculation function based on the thickness schedule.
- the temperature control device creates the velocity pattern of the following material 62 by the velocity pattern creation function based on the velocity change amount, and updates the velocity pattern of the preceding material 60 (second update).
- the temperature control device is configured to use the feedforward control function to supply the amount of cooling water supplied from the cooling device 32 based on the velocity pattern of the leading material 60 for the second update and the temperature measurement value from the finishing mill inlet thermometer 24. Continue feed forward control. Further, the temperature control device is configured to feedforward the amount of cooling water supplied from the cooling device 34 by the feedforward control function based on the updated velocity pattern of the leading material 60 and the temperature measurement value from the finishing mill outlet thermometer 26. Continue control.
- the temperature control device changes the running plate thickness in the rough mill at the timing when the leading end 62a of the following material 62 reaches the entry side of the first stand R1 (see Timing 6.4 in FIG. 7). It starts (step S16). Specifically, the temperature control device changes the roll gap of the first stand R1 by the gap change function based on the thickness schedule of the following material 62. The process similar to step S16 is also performed at each timing when the tip end portion 62a reaches the entrance side of the second stand R2 and the third stand R3.
- the temperature control device adjusts the roll speed of each stand by the speed adjustment function at each timing of changing the roll gap of the first stand R1 to the third stand R3.
- the change in the speed of the rolled material due to the adjustment of the roll speed is already taken into consideration in the updating of the speed pattern of the preceding material 60 by the speed pattern creating function and in the feedforward control based on this speed pattern. That is, feedforward control is performed in anticipation of the temperature change of the rolled material by adjustment of the roll speed by the speed adjustment function.
- the temperature control device carries out calculation of setting of the following material 62 at the timing (see Timing 6.5 in FIG. 8) when the tip end portion 62a reaches the position of the finishing mill inlet thermometer 24 (step S18). ). Specifically, the temperature control device calculates the thickness schedule of the following material 62 and the thickness change time by the running-plate thickness change amount determining function. In addition, the temperature control device calculates the amount of speed change by the speed change calculation function based on the thickness schedule. Then, the temperature control device updates the velocity pattern of the preceding material 60 (third update) by the velocity pattern creating function based on the velocity change amount, and updates the velocity pattern of the following material 62.

Then, the temperature control device starts feedforward control of the amount of cooling water supplied from the cooling device 32 by the feedforward control function based on the initial flow rate.
- the temperature control device starts changing the running plate thickness in the finishing mill at the timing when the tip end 62a reaches the entry side of the first stand F1 of the finishing mill 16 (see Timing 6.6 in FIG. 8). (Step S20). Specifically, the temperature control device changes the roll gap of the first stand F1 by the gap changing function based on the thickness schedule of the finishing mill 16 of the following material 62. Processing similar to that of step S20 is also performed at each timing when the tip end portion 62a reaches the entrance side of the second stand F2 to the fifth stand F5.

Further, the temperature control device performs feedback control by the feedback control function based on the error between the temperature measurement value from the winder-before-thermometer 28 and its target value. The temperature measurement value from the finishing mill outlet thermometer 26 may be disturbed when the thickness change point passes immediately below this.

That is, in Timing 6.7 of FIG. 8, the change in running plate thickness at all the stands of the finishing mill 16 is completed.

先ず、図1乃至図11を参照して、本発明の実施の形態1について説明する。
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る温度制御装置が適用されるエンドレス圧延ラインの構成の一例を説明する図である。
エンドレス圧延ラインにおける基本的な操業について説明する。連続圧延においては、単一のスラブから板厚の異なる複数のコイルを作り出す。具体的には、圧延材の圧延中に、粗ミル14および仕上ミル16が有するスタンドのロールギャップを変更する。同時に、これらのスタンドの間の張力を変更する。これにより、粗ミル14の出側におけるバー厚を変更し、および、仕上ミル16の出側における板厚を変更する。切断する位置は、目標板長などから圧延前に予め決めておき、切断する位置が巻取機前シヤ18の位置まで来たら、ストリップを切断する。ストリップの切断は、できるだけ歩留りを低下させるべく、板厚変更部分の周辺にて行う。これにより、先行材のコイルと、先行材とは板厚の異なる後行材のコイルと、が作り出される。
図2は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る温度制御装置の構成の一例を説明するブロック図である。図2に示す温度制御装置は、設定計算機能40、温度制御機能42、ギャップ変更機能44、速度調整機能46、および、トラッキング機能48を、主な機能として備えている。
既に述べたように、エンドレス圧延ラインでは、粗ミルの入側におけるスラブの速度が鋳造速度に支配される。従って、鋳造速度が変わらなければ、粗ミルの入側におけるスラブの速度は一定である。鋳造速度が変わらない場合、ミルで圧延される圧延材の速度は、スタンドの間において成立するマスフロー一定則に支配される。即ち、鋳造速度一定条件下において、あるスタンドで圧延材の板厚を減少させたときには、そのスタンドの出側における圧延材の速度が同スタンドの入側における速度に比べて大きくなる。
圧下率は、下記式(1)で定義される。
r(i)=(H(i)-h(i))/H(i) -(1)
r(i):スタンドi(1≦i≦n)の圧下率
H(i):スタンドiの入側における圧延材の板厚
h(i):スタンドiの出側における圧延材の板厚
図5は、圧延材の板厚と速度が段々と変化するときの問題点を説明する図である。図5に示すCT計測値は、図1に示した巻取機前温度計28(Coiling Thermometer)からの温度計測値を表している。CT計測値は、最終スタンドF5の出側における圧延材の速度が上昇することで、主に冷却時間が短くなることから、上昇する。フィードバック制御により冷却水の流量を増加させて目標温度を達成することができるが、巻取機前温度計28を通過するタイミングでは温度が下がっている。これは、板厚変更点後は板厚が小さくなっており、温度が低下しやすく、フィードバック制御出力により増加した冷却水の流量により冷やしすぎてしまったことによるものである。
そこで、本実施の形態1に係る温度制御装置では、図2に示した構成を用いて、以下に説明する温度制御を実行する。この温度制御について、図6乃至図8を参照して説明する。図6は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る温度制御装置が走間板厚変更に関する動作を行うときの処理の一例を説明するフローチャートである。図7および図8は、図6において説明する各タイミングでの圧延材の移動状況を示す図である。なお、図6乃至図8においては、単一の圧延材内に先行材60と後行材62があり、仕上ミル16の出側における目標板厚が両者の間で異なることを前提として説明する。

ところで、上記実施の形態1の温度制御においては、フィードフォワード制御の制御対象を図1に示した冷却装置32および34として、これらの冷却装置からの冷却水量を制御した。しかし、フィードフォワード制御の制御対象を減らして冷却装置34のみとしてもよい。この場合は、仕上ミル出側温度計26からの温度計測値と、最新の速度パターンに基づき、冷却装置34からの冷却水量のみをフィードフォワード制御すればよい。反対に、フィードフォワード制御の制御対象を増やして熱交換装置30を加えてもよい。この場合は、粗ミル出側温度計22からの温度計測値と、最新の速度パターンに基づき、熱交換装置30からの冷却水量または加熱量をフィードフォワード制御すればよい。
次に、図16乃至図17を参照して、本発明の実施の形態2について説明する。尚、上記実施の形態1の内容と重複する説明については適宜省略する。
図16は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る温度制御装置の構成の一例を説明するブロック図である。図16に示す温度制御装置は、設定計算機能40、温度制御機能42、ギャップ変更機能44、速度調整機能46、および、トラッキング機能48を、主な機能として備えている。これらの機能については、図2で説明した通りである。
図17は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る温度制御装置がスケジュール調整に関する動作を行うときの処理の一例を説明するフローチャートである。尚、図17に示すルーチンにおいて、カウンタの初期値は0に設定されている。
Δα(i)=Δv(i)/tFGC -(9)
Δv(i)=v(i)A(j)-v(i)A(j-1)
v(i)A(j):板厚変更点がスタンドj(i≦j≦n)とスタンドj+1の間にあるタイミングにおいて、スタンドiの出側における圧延材の速度[m/s]
v(i)A(j-1):板厚変更点がスタンドj-1とスタンドjの間にあるタイミングにおいて、スタンドkの出側における圧延材の速度[m/s]
h(i)B=h(i)A/{(h(i-1)A/h(i-1)B)+(tFGC*Δαthre/v(n)A(j))}(Δα(i)>0の場合) -(10)
h(i)B=h(i)A/{(h(i-1)A/h(i-1)B)-(tFGC*Δαthre/v(n)A(j))}(Δα(i)<0の場合) -(11)
tFGC opt(i)=Δv(i)/Δαthre -(12)
γ(i)=(h(i-1)B-h(i)B)/h(i-1)B -(13)
許容範囲は、事前に定めたスタンドiの圧下率の上限γ(i)highおよび下限γ(i)lowで規定される。式(13)から算出した圧下率γ(i)が許容範囲内であると判定された場合、温度制御装置は、ステップS40の処理に進む。
h(i)B=h(i)B*(1-γ(i)high)(γ(i)>γ(i)highの場合) -(14)
h(i)B=h(i)B*(1-γ(i)low)(γ(i)<γ(i)lowの場合) -(15)
tFGC=max(tFGC opt(1),tFGC opt(2),…,tFGC opt(n),tFGC maxlmt) -(16)
板厚変更時間tFGCの変更後、温度制御装置は、ステップS30の処理に戻る。一方、ステップS50において、カウンタの値が0でないと判定された場合、温度制御装置は、本ルーチンを抜ける。
