Abstract

Zwischen einer Giessmaschine (3) und dem ersten, darauffolgenden Walzwerk (7) wird die Geschwindigkeit des Giessbandes (4) gemessen und die Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine (3) wird der gemessenen Geschwindigkeit entsprechend geregelt. Es können damit die bisher üblicher. Hilfsaggregate zwischen Giessmaschine (3) und erstem Walzwerk (7) wie Bandtreiber und Durchlaufofen sowie die Bildung einer Bandschlaufe vermieden und damit die Investitionen, der Energie bedarf und der Raumbedarf herabgesetzt werden.The speed of the casting belt (4) is measured between a casting machine (3) and the first, subsequent rolling mill (7) and the speed of the casting machine (3) is regulated according to the measured speed. It can be the more common. Auxiliary units between the casting machine (3) and the first rolling mill (7), such as the belt driver and continuous furnace, and the formation of a belt loop are avoided, and thus the investments, the energy requirement and the space requirement are reduced.

Description

Für die Herstellung von Metallbändern können kontinuierlich arbeitende Giessmaschinen mit mitlaufenden Kokillen eingesetzt werden (Dr. Herrmann, "Handbuch des Stranggiessens").Continuous casting machines with moving molds can be used to manufacture metal strips (Dr. Herrmann, "Handbook of Continuous Casting").

Erfahrungsgemäss muss die Geschwindigkeit der mitlaufenden Kokillen genau auf die Geschwindigkeit des entstehenden Gussbandes abgestimmt sein, damit Relativbewegungen zwischen dem entstehenden Band und den Kokillenflächen möglichst vermieden werden, um Spannungsrisse im erstarrenden Material zu verhindern.Experience has shown that the speed of the moving molds must be precisely matched to the speed of the cast strip that is created, so that relative movements between the resulting strip and the mold surfaces are avoided as far as possible to prevent stress cracks in the solidifying material.

Als Kokille wird hierbei jedes zur Bildung eines Giessraumes dienende Element, wie umlaufende Metallbänder, aufeinanderfolgende, aus einem Stück oder aus mehreren zusammengesetzten Einzelheiten bestehende Blöcke wie auch sog. Giessräder verstanden.As a mold, each element used to form a casting space, such as surrounding metal strips, is made up of one or more pieces Composed details understood existing blocks as well as so-called casting wheels.

Um für den Giessprozess optimale Verhältnisse zu schaffen, muss die Geschwindigkeit der Kokillen und damit auch des erzeugten Gussbandes stufenlos regelbar sein.In order to create optimal conditions for the casting process, the speed of the molds and thus the cast strip produced must be infinitely variable.

Produziert nun die Giessmaschine eine Banddicke, welche grösser ist als die zum Haspeln oder Abhaspeln zulässige Dimension, so muss das Gussband in Linie und im Gleichlauf mit der Giessmaschine gewalzt werden.If the casting machine now produces a strip thickness which is greater than the dimension permitted for coiling or uncoiling, the casting strip must be rolled in line and in synchronism with the casting machine.

Es ist bekannt, dass die Geschwindigkeit des im Walzprozess begriffenen Bandes von mehreren Faktoren abhängig ist. Erfahrungsgemäss kann diese Geschwindigkeit selbst bei gegebener Dickenabnahme und konstanter Drehzahl der Walzen eine Veränderung über zeitliche Intervalle aufweisen.It is known that the speed of the strip being processed depends on several factors. Experience has shown that this speed can change over time intervals even with a given decrease in thickness and constant speed of the rolls.

Währenddem es z. B. möglich ist, den Walzgrad praktisch unverändert zu halten, gelingt es erfahrungsgemäss nicht, den von mehreren Einflüssen abhängigen Reibungskoeffizienten und die Festigkeit bzw. die Veränderung des Formänderungswiderstandes genügend konstant zu halten. Beide Werte sind z. B. von der Temperatur des Walzgutes, der Walzgeschwindigkeit und von weiteren Faktoren abhängig.While it is e.g. B. it is possible to keep the rolling degree practically unchanged, experience has shown that it is not possible to keep the coefficient of friction dependent on several influences and the strength or the change in the deformation resistance sufficiently constant. Both values are e.g. B. the temperature of the rolling stock, the rolling speed and other factors.

Unter diesen Umständen kann die Geschwindigkeit des Walzgutes in Funktion der Zeit um mehrere % schwanken, selbst wenn die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit bzw. die Drehzahl der Walzen konstant bleibt.Under these circumstances, the speed of the rolling stock can fluctuate as a function of time by several%, even if the peripheral speed or the speed of the rolls remains constant.

Eine starre Koppelung von Giessmaschine und Walzwerk inbezug auf die Geschwindigkeit ist somit nicht möglich.A rigid coupling of the casting machine and the rolling mill in relation to the speed is therefore not possible.

Es ist nun üblich, am Austritt der Giessmaschine einen Bandtreiber anzuordnen und anschliessend eine sogenannte Bandschlaufe vorzusehen, welche zum Ausgleich von Geschwindigkeitsdifferenzen des Bandes zwischen Giessmaschine und Walzwerk dient. Zudem kann die Veränderung der Schlaufe zur Erzeugung eines Signals für die Steuerung des Antriebes des Walzwerkes dienen (Vortrag R. W. Hazelett und Dr. C. E. Schwartz, American Institut of Mining, 1964 oder "Bander, Bleche, Rohre" Heft Nr. 9, 1970, Seiten 469 bis 471).It is now customary to arrange a belt driver at the outlet of the casting machine and then to provide a so-called belt loop, which is used to compensate for speed differences of the belt between the casting machine and the rolling mill. In addition, changing the loop can be used to generate a signal for controlling the drive of the rolling mill (Lecture RW Hazelett and Dr. CE Schwartz, American Institute of Mining, 1964 or "Bander, Bleche, Rohr" Issue No. 9, 1970, pages 469 to 471).

Der Bandtreiber besteht aus einem oder mehreren hintereinander angeordneten, angetriebenen Walzenpaaren, welche das aus der Giessmaschine austretende Band fassen und unter relativ leichtem Walzendruck bei genau auf die Giessmaschine abgestimmter Geschwindigkeit führen und damit von aussen in Giessrichtung auf das Band wirkende Kräfte von der Giessmaschine fernhalten.The belt driver consists of one or more driven roller pairs arranged one behind the other, which hold the belt emerging from the casting machine and guide under relatively light roller pressure at a speed precisely matched to the casting machine and thus keep forces acting on the belt from the outside in the casting direction away from the casting machine.

Die erwähnten Zusatzeinrichtungen ergeben eine relativ grosse Distanz zwischen der Giessmaschine und dem ersten Walzwerk. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich das Gussband unterwegs infolge Abstrahlung und Kontakten mit Führungsrollen abkühlt. Um die erforderliche Walztemperatur zu erreichen, muss in der Regel vor dem Walzwerk noch ein Durchlaufofen vorgesehen werden, um die Wärmeverluste zu kompensieren.The mentioned additional devices result in a relatively large distance between the casting machine and the first rolling mill. As a result, the cast strip cools down on the way due to radiation and contact with guide rollers. In order to achieve the required rolling temperature, a continuous furnace must usually be provided in front of the rolling mill to compensate for the heat losses.

Die beschriebenen Zusatzeinrichtungen bilden einen wesentlichen Bestandteil der Investitionskosten. Zudem verteuert der Betrieb des Durchlaufofens die Betriebskosten. Insbesondere steht dieser Aufwand auch im Widerspruch zu den heute allgemein angestrebten Energiesparmassnahmen.The additional devices described form an essential part of the investment costs. In addition, the operation of the continuous furnace increases the operating costs. In particular, this effort also contradicts the energy saving measures that are generally sought today.

Um die erforderliche Genauigkeit der Regelung der Antriebsgeschwindigkeiten der verschiedenen, in Tandem angeordneten Vorrichtungen zu bewerkstelligen, wird der Antrieb der Giessmaschine oder des Bandtreibers als Leitsektion vorgesehen, welche die Geschwindigkeit der anderen Antriebe bestimmt. Hierfür sind verschiedene, bekannte Artriebe und Steuerungen auf dem Markt.In order to achieve the required accuracy of the regulation of the drive speeds of the various devices arranged in tandem, the drive of the casting machine or of the belt driver is used as Guide section provided, which determines the speed of the other drives. There are various well-known drives and controls on the market for this.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, ein Verfahren für die Geschwindigkeitssteuerung des Antriebes der Giessmaschine und gegebenenfalls des Walzwerkes derart zu schaffen, dass die bisher erforderlichen Vorrichtungen wie Bandtreiber, Bandführung für die Bandschlaufe und Durchlaufofen entfallen können, was beträchtliche Einsparungen an Investitions- und Betriebskosten zur Folge hat.The object of the invention is now to provide a method for speed control of the drive of the casting machine and, if appropriate, the rolling mill in such a way that the previously required devices such as belt drivers, belt guides for the belt loop and continuous furnace can be omitted, which leads to considerable savings in investment and operating costs Consequence.

Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die durch das erste nach der Giessmaschine angeordnete Walzwerk erzeugte Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes gemessen wird, und diese Geschwindigkeit als Leitwert für die Steuerung der Antriebsgeschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine verwendet wird. Damit wird erreicht, dass sich die Geschwindigkeit der Kokille der Geschwindigkeit des entstehenden Gussbandes kontinuierlich direkt, ohne Bandschlaufe anpasst und optimiert. Nötigenfalls ist dafür zu sorgen, dass das Gussband zwischen Giessmaschine und erstem Walzwerk spannungsfrei über Stützrollen geführt ist.The method according to the invention is characterized in that the speed of the cast strip produced by the first rolling mill arranged after the casting machine is measured, and this speed is used as a guide value for controlling the drive speed of the casting machine. This ensures that the speed of the mold adapts and optimizes the speed of the cast strip continuously, directly, without a belt loop. If necessary, it must be ensured that the cast strip between the casting machine and the first rolling mill is tension-free over support rollers.

Für die genaue Erfassung und Signalisierung der Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes können bestehende, eine genügende Genauigkeit aufweisende Mess- und Steuergeräte verschiedener Art eingesetzt werden.For the precise detection and signaling of the speed of the cast belt, existing measuring and control devices of various types with sufficient accuracy can be used.

Eine Methode besteht darin, dass die Drehzahl einer auf dem Gussband aufliegenden Messrolle auf bekannte Art elektronisch zu einem Steuersignal aufgearbeitet wird. Es ist auch möglich auf dem Markt befindliche, kontaktlos arbeitende Mess- und Steuergeräte anzuwenden. ("Schweizer-Maschinenmarkt", Nr. 18/1974, Seiten 42/43).One method is that the speed of a measuring roller lying on the cast belt is processed electronically to a control signal in a known manner. It is also possible to use contactless measuring and control devices on the market. ("Swiss machine market", No. 18/1974, pages 42/43).

Vorzugsweise wird die Bandgeschwindigkeit am Austritt der Giessmaschine gemessen und als Leitwert für die Regelung des Antriebes herangezogen.The belt speed is preferably measured at the outlet of the casting machine and used as a guide value for controlling the drive.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels einer Bandgiess- und Walzanlage und deren Betriebsmöglichkeiten näher erläutert.The invention will now be explained in greater detail on the basis of an exemplary embodiment of a strip casting and rolling plant, which is shown schematically in the drawing, and its operating options.

Die Zeichnung zeigt die Giessrinne 1 und den Giesstrog 2 aus welchem das geschmolzene Metall der Giessmaschine 3 zugeführt wird. Die Giessmaschine ist rein schematisch dargestellt und kann irgendeinen bekannten Aufbau aufweisen. Das die Giessmaschine verlassende Gussband 4 gelangt an einem Temperaturmessgerät 5 und einem Geschwindigkeitsmessgerät 6 vorbei zum Walzgerüst 7, aus dem es als Walzband 8 reduzierter Dicke austritt. Der Antrieb der Giessmaschine 3 ist mit 9 und der Antrieb des Walzwerks mit 10 bezeichnet.The drawing shows the casting trough 1 and the casting trough 2 from which the molten metal is fed to the casting machine 3. The casting machine is shown purely schematically and can have any known structure. The cast strip 4 leaving the casting machine passes a temperature measuring device 5 and a speed measuring device 6 to the roll stand 7, from which it emerges as a rolled strip 8 of reduced thickness. The drive of the casting machine 3 is designated 9 and the drive of the rolling mill 10.

Aus den bereits erwähnten Gründen wird erfindungsgemäss die Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine und damit die Geschwindigkeit des aus ihr austretenden Gussbandes 4 geregelt. Die Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes 4 ist aber auch von der Geschwindigkeit des Walzwerkes und, wie oben erwährt , von anderen Faktoren abhängig. bas Geschwindigkeitsmessgerät b dient nun der Erfassung der Gussbandgeschwindigkeit zwischen Glessmaschine unu Walserk und der entsprechenden Regelung der Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine.For the reasons already mentioned, the speed of the casting machine and thus the speed of the casting strip 4 emerging from it are regulated according to the invention. The speed of the cast strip 4 is also from the speed of the rolling mill and how Proceeded above, depending on other factors. bas speed measuring device b now serves to record the casting belt speed between the Unu Walserk and the corresponding control of the speed of the casting machine.

Die durch das Temperaturmessgerät 5 ermittelte Temperatur des Gussbandes 4 am Austritt der Giessmaschine 3 kann zur Steuerung der Geschwindigkeit des Walzwerks dienen, welche Geschwindigkeit wiederum die Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes 4 beeinflusst, die durch uas Geschwindigkeitsmessgerät 6 erfasst wird und entsprechenc die Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine steuert.The temperature of the casting belt 4 determined by the temperature measuring device 5 at the outlet of the casting machine 3 can be used to control the speed of the rolling mill, which speed in turn influences the speed of the casting belt 4, which is detected by uas speed measuring device 6 and correspondingly controls the speed of the casting machine.

Es wurde oben erwähnt, dass verschiedenartige Messvorrichtungen zur genügend genauen Erfassung der Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes 4 bekannt sind und zur Regelung der Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine 3 und gegebenenfalls des Walzwerks 7 dienen können. Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Messrolle ist nur als Beispiel aufzufassen. Diesen Mess- und Regelgeräten gehören die in der Zeicnnung schematisch dargestellten Steuerungen 11 und 11 an, die an den Eingängen A bzw. B aie Signale des Geschwindigkeitsmessgerätes 6 bzw. des Temperaturmessgerätes 5 empfangen. Wie die Zeichnung zeigt, regelt die Steurrung 11 den Antrieb 9 der Giessmaschine. In der Zeichnung ist ferner ein Kühlsystem angedeutet, welches von Teilen 13 dieses Systems über Regelventile 14 den Kühlern 15 der Giessmaschine Kühlwasser zuzuführen gestattet. Die Kühlwasserzufuhr wird dabei in Funktion der durch das Temperaturmessgerät ermittelten Temperatur über die Steuerunq 12 geregelt und zwar in dem Sinne, dass bei höherer Temperatur stärker gekühlt wird als bei niedriger. Die Steuerung 12 regelt ebenfalls in Funktion der ermittelten Temperatur den Antrieb 10 für das Walzwerk. Es ergeben sich folgende Möglichkeiten:

  • 1. Der Antrieb des Walzwerkes wird nicht automatisch geregelt.
It was mentioned above that various types of measuring devices are known for the sufficiently precise detection of the speed of the cast strip 4 and can serve to regulate the speed of the casting machine 3 and, if appropriate, of the rolling mill 7. The measuring roller shown in the drawing is only an example. These measuring and control devices include control systems schematically illustrated in the Zeicnnung 11 and 1 1 to receive the aie at the inputs A and B signals from the speed measuring device 6 and the temperature measuring device. 5 As the drawing shows, the control 11 controls the drive 9 of the casting machine. In the drawing, a cooling system is also indicated, which allows parts 13 of this system to supply cooling water to the coolers 15 of the casting machine via control valves 14. The cooling water supply is regulated as a function of the temperature determined by the temperature measuring device via the control unit 12, specifically in the sense that cooling is higher at a higher temperature than at a lower one. The controller 12 also regulates the drive 10 for the rolling mill as a function of the temperature determined. The following options are available:
  • 1. The drive of the rolling mill is not automatically controlled.

Daraus resultiert eine Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes 4, welche infolge der vorgenannten Gründe innerhalb eines gewissen Intervalls zeitlich veränderlich sein kann, wobei die Regelung der Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine 3 durch die Messung der durch das Walzwerk 7 erzeugten Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes 4 erfolgt, welche als Leitwert die Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine 3 steuert und optimiert.This results in a speed of the casting belt 4, which can vary over time within a certain interval due to the aforementioned reasons, the regulation of the speed of the casting machine 3 being carried out by measuring the speed of the casting belt 4 generated by the rolling mill 7, which is the master value of the speed the casting machine 3 controls and optimizes.

2. Die Bandgeschwindigkeit wird durch besondere Messresultate geregelt:

  • Die Temperatur des Gusbandes 4 zwischen der Giessmaschine 3 und dem nachfolgenden Walzwerk 7 gilt als massgebende Grösse für die Ueberwachung des Giessprozesses und für die Weiterverarbeitung des Gussbandes in der Produktionslinie. Dieser Wert wird beeinflusst durch die Giessgeschwindigkeit und/oder die Intensität der Kühlung (welche geregelt werden kann).
2. The belt speed is regulated by special measurement results:
  • The temperature of the cast strip 4 between the casting machine 3 and the subsequent rolling mill 7 is regarded as the decisive variable for monitoring the casting process and for further processing of the cast strip in the production line. This value is influenced by the casting speed and / or the intensity of the cooling (which can be regulated).

Um die Anlage unter optimalen Verhältnissen zu betreiben, muss diese Temperatur innerhalb enger Grenzen gehalten werden. Vorzugsweise wird diese Messung direkt am Austritt der Giessmaschine 3 vorgenommen.In order to operate the system under optimal conditions, this temperature must be kept within narrow limits. This measurement is preferably carried out directly at the outlet of the casting machine 3.

Damit ergibt sich eine Anpassung der Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes 4 derart, dass die günstigste Temperatur des Bandes dauernd eingehalten wird. Dies kann auf zwei Arten erreicht werden.

  • a) Indem die Drehzahl der Walzen des Walzwerkes 7 durch das Temperaturmessgerät 5 so gesteuert wird, dass die Drehzahl bei zu tiefer Temperatur entsprechend vergrössert und bei zu hoher Temperatur verkleinert wird.
  • b) Indem die Intensität der Kühlung durch die automatisch gesteuerten, Im Kühlwasserkreislauf eingebauten Ventile 14 so geregelt wird, dass sich die optimale Temperatur des Gussbandes 4 laufend einstellt, wobei die Temperatur des Gussbandes als Leitwert für die Regelung der Ventile 14 dient.
This results in an adaptation of the speed of the cast strip 4 such that the most favorable temperature of the strip is maintained at all times. This can be accomplished in two ways.
  • a) By controlling the speed of the rolls of the rolling mill 7 by the temperature measuring device 5 in such a way that the speed is correspondingly increased when the temperature is too low and reduced when the temperature is too high.
  • b) By regulating the intensity of the cooling by the automatically controlled valves 14 installed in the cooling water circuit in such a way that the optimum temperature of the cast strip 4 is continuously established, the temperature of the cast strip serving as a guide value for the control of the valves 14.

3. Eine bestimmte, konstante Bandgeschwindigkeit wird gefordert:

  • Der Antrieb 10 des Walzwerkes 7 wird durch die Geschwindigkeit des Gussbandes 4 derart gesteuert, dass diese praktisch konstant bleibt. Mit dem Steuergerät 6, 11 wird dabei auch die erforderliche Geschwindigkeit der Giessmaschine 3 geregelt und konstant gehalten.
3. A certain, constant belt speed is required:
  • The drive 10 of the rolling mill 7 is controlled by the speed of the cast belt 4 in such a way that it remains practically constant. The required speed of the casting machine 3 is also controlled and kept constant by the control unit 6, 11.

Das hiermit vorgeschlagene Prinzip der Geschwindigkeitsregelung des Antriebes einer Giess- und Walzlinie erfordert ein Minimum an Investitions- und Unterhaltskosten. Zudem hat die erhebliche Verminderung des mechanischen Aufwandes infolge Wegfalls von Bandtreibern und Bandschlaufe eine weitere bedeutende Kostensenkung zur Folge.The principle of speed control of the drive of a casting and rolling line proposed herewith requires a minimum of investment and maintenance costs. In addition, the considerable reduction in mechanical effort due to the elimination of tape drivers and tape loops has resulted in a further significant cost reduction.

Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil besteht darin, dass sich der Platzbedarf für eine Produktionslinie auf ein Minimum reduziert, was sich wiederum in günstigem Sinne auf die Investitionskosten auswirkt.An additional advantage is that the space required for a production line is reduced to a minimum, which in turn has a favorable effect on the investment costs.
