Definitions

  • the present invention further relates to a computer program comprising machine code which can be processed by a control device for a rolling mill for rolling a flat rolling stock, wherein the processing of the machine code by the control device causes the control device operates the rolling mill according to such an operating procedure.
  • the present invention further relates to a control device for a rolling mill for rolling a flat rolling stock, wherein the control device is designed as a software-programmable control device and is programmed with such a computer program, so that it operates the rolling mill according to such an operating method.
  • Such an operating procedure is known, for example, from WO 2019/086 172 A1
  • the control device can be supplied with target variables, including the contour and/or discrete parameters defining the contour.
  • the control device takes the target variables into account when determining the setpoints.
  • Such an operating method is also known from WO 2020/016 387 A1 (which forms the basis for the preamble of claim 1) and the US 6 158 260 A known.
  • the thickness of the flat rolled product varies in the width direction of the flat rolled product.
  • the thickness distribution can be described by various parameters.
  • the distance xx can in principle have any value, but is usually 25 mm, 40 mm or 100 mm.
  • a desired profile value C40 of 20 ⁇ m or more is usually specified during hot rolling so that the produced strip exhibits a convex thickness profile, i.e., a bulging profile in which the center thickness d0 is greater than the thickness at the edges of the flat rolled stock. This allows the guiding properties to be maintained stable both during hot rolling and subsequent cold rolling.
  • the flat rolled stock is slit one or more times longitudinally – especially between hot rolling and cold rolling – increased demands are placed on the tolerances of the flat rolled stock.
  • box sections are increasingly required, meaning that the flat rolled stock has a thickness as constant as possible across the width of the rolled stock, and the contour profile This means that the values are very small.
  • the contour does not become concave, as this would negatively impact the stability of the production process. In extreme cases, the rolling process can become so unstable that material loss, equipment damage, and plant downtime are the result.
  • the object of the present invention is to create possibilities by means of which box profiles can be produced as well as possible, while at the same time ensuring the stability of the production process.
  • an operating method of the type mentioned at the outset is designed in that the control device determines the setpoint values for the manipulated variables by means of the model in such a way that a contour profile expected for the flat rolled stock after rolling the flat rolled stock in the rolling train is approximated as closely as possible to the ideal contour profile exclusively in an initial central region viewed across the width of the rolled stock, which extends to the edges of the flat rolled stock up to initial region boundaries which are at a distance from the edges of the flat rolled stock greater than the predetermined distance, or the expected contour profile is approximated to the ideal contour profile in addition to the initial central region also outside the initial central region, but only to the extent that this is possible without impairing the approximation of the expected contour profile to the ideal contour profile in the initial central region.
  • the invention is based on the realization that the contour progression can generally be influenced very well by the actuators in the middle of the flat rolled stock, towards the edges of the flat rolled stock, however, it becomes increasingly poor. In particular, a drop in thickness is unavoidable in the immediate vicinity of the edges of the flat rolled stock. It is therefore possible to mentally divide the flat rolled stock, viewed in the width direction of the flat rolled stock, into an initial central region and two initial outer regions.
  • the initial central region extends from -b1/2 to b1/2, where b1 is smaller than b. In the initial central region, the contour can be easily influenced.
  • the initial outer regions extend from -b/2 to -b1/2 and from b1/2 to b/2. In the initial outer regions, the contour can only be influenced to a limited extent and must therefore be accepted more or less as it is.
  • a very small desired profile value for example, a C40 value of only 10 ⁇ m—then
  • the target values can be determined in such a way that the specified C40 value is achieved.
  • achieving such a low C40 value can result in the contour becoming locally concave (i.e., the flat rolled stock is thicker toward the center of the flat rolled stock in areas 40 mm (or slightly more) away from the edges of the flat rolled stock, possibly even thicker than in the center of the flat rolled stock).
  • the flat rolled stock thus forms "humps" at its edges. Forcing such a low C40 value can result in the two humps being quite significant in height.
  • the maximum thickness of the flat rolled stock can no longer be maintained within a desired tolerance range around the center thickness, resulting in scrap.
  • the contour can even become globally concave, meaning that from the center of the flat rolled stock to the edges, the thickness of the flat rolled stock increases across the entire width of the rolled stock. This can easily cause the rolling process to become unstable.
  • the inventive approach can solve or at least significantly reduce these problems. This is because, on the one hand, the inventive approach allows for an ideal contour profile to be established, but on the other hand, compliance with this profile is only ensured in the initial central region.
  • the edge drop toward the edges of the flat rolled stock is accepted as unavoidable and—in contrast to the prior art—is ignored when determining the target values, or at least is given only secondary consideration.
  • the control system receives the initial range limits or the distance of the initial range limits from the edges of the flat rolled stock.
  • the specification can be made, for example, by an operator.
  • a specialist can know from experience exactly or at least approximately what value to set the initial range limits or the distance of the initial range limits from the edges of the flat rolled stock for a specific flat rolled stock.
  • control device determines the initial range boundaries or the distance of the initial range boundaries from the edges of the flat rolled stock using the actual values of the flat rolled stock before rolling the flat rolled stock in the rolling mill and/or the predetermined distance.
  • tables or characteristic curves can be stored in the control device so that the control device is able to determine the appropriate value for a specific flat rolled stock.
  • the input variables can be, for example, the chemical composition of the flat rolled stock, its width, its center thickness before and/or after rolling, its temperature, etc. This procedure has the advantage of relieving the operator of the sometimes difficult task of determining the relevant values.
  • control system checks whether the expected contour is convex or not, and in the case of a convex contour, enlarges the initial central region or decreases the distances of the initial region boundaries from the edges of the flat rolled stock, and conversely, in the case of a non-convex contour, reduces the initial central region or increases the distances of the initial region boundaries from the edges of the flat rolled stock.
  • This approach allows the initial central region to be determined as large as is just permissible.
  • control unit operates in a loop that is executed multiple times. Within a single loop run, the control unit evaluates the currently valid initial range limits and determines the corresponding setpoints and the corresponding expected contour profile for these initial range limits. Based on the test, it then enlarges or reduces the initial middle range and then executes the loop again.
  • the loop must not be an endless loop. Therefore, the loop must be terminated when a termination criterion is reached.
  • the values then reached for the initial range limits, the associated target values, and the associated expected contour profile are the final values.
  • the precise termination criterion is of secondary importance. For example, it may be that in the case of a convex contour, the initial range limits are gradually increased, but the loop is exited when a concave contour occurs for the first time. In this case, the values for the initial range limits are used as the final values. at which a convex contour was last determined. Conversely, in the case of a concave contour, the initial area boundaries can be gradually reduced and the loop can be exited when a convex contour occurs for the first time.
  • the values for the initial area boundaries at which a convex contour was first determined are used as the final values.
  • the termination criterion can also be that a predetermined number of loop runs have been carried out or that - related to the enlargement and reduction of the initial area boundaries - a predetermined number of changes of direction have been reached.
  • the step size can also be reduced with each change of direction and the termination criterion can be defined by reaching or falling below a predetermined minimum step size.
  • the control device preferably determines the ideal contour by determining the coefficients of a polynomial describing the ideal contour in such a way that the ideal contour matches the target variables as closely as possible. This results in a simple and reliable determination of the ideal contour. This procedure is particularly advantageous when the desired profile value is specified directly to the control device.
  • the match can be determined in particular by minimizing the mean square deviation of the ideal contour from the target variables. Depending on the number of specified target variables, an identity can exist, meaning that the target variables are achieved exactly.
  • the polynomial is usually a polynomial that contains only even powers of the position x in the latitude direction.
  • it can be a monomial, meaning it contains only a single power of the position x in the latitude direction.
  • the ideal contour can be defined by a parabola of 2nd or 4th order.
  • control device determines the contour function by determining coefficients of the contour function and then to determine the modeled profile value based on the coefficients of the contour function.
  • the model is modified immediately or gradually in such a way that, despite the determination of the target values, a flat rolled product with a concave contour is produced exclusively or at least primarily in the initial middle area due to the approximation of the expected contour to the ideal contour.
  • the control device can, for example, evaluate the determined contour function at a predetermined distance from the edges of the flat rolled stock. The value thus determined may differ from the profile value resulting from the actual contour profile itself. Alternatively, the control device can, for example, use an actual profile value for the actual contour profile at a distance from the edges of the flat rolled stock that is greater than the predetermined distance. For example, the control device can determine a C100 value and use it as a C40 value within the scope of the model adaptation.
  • the control device can check whether the contour function is convex in the final central region or not. In the case of a convex contour function, the control device can enlarge the final central region and, conversely, in the case of a non-convex contour function, reduce the final central region. This procedure can maximize the final central region. To achieve stability with this procedure, a hysteresis can be provided, for example, and/or a procedure can be implemented that is similar to the procedure explained above in connection with determining the initial central region based on the expected contour profile.
  • the control device controls a cooling device, by means of which the work rolls of at least one of the rolling stands are cooled as a function of location across the width of the rolling stock, in such a way that the contour profile expected for the flat rolling stock after rolling the flat rolling stock in the rolling train is approximated as closely as possible to the ideal contour profile from the initial area boundaries to the edges of the flat rolling stock.
  • This makes it possible to maximize the width of the flat rolling stock within which the flat rolling stock can be produced within the permissible tolerances.
  • this determination is only secondary, i.e., only to the extent that it is possible without impairing the approximation of the expected contour profile to the ideal contour profile in the initial central area.
  • a control device having the features of claim 14.

  • the flat rolled stock 2 With respect to a coordinate x, which is directed in the width direction of the flat rolled stock 2, the flat rolled stock 2 thus extends from -b/2 to +b/2. Strictly speaking, the width b varies from rolling pass to rolling pass. In most cases, the width b increases from rolling pass to rolling pass. However, the change in the width b is very small and can be neglected within the scope of the present invention.
  • the flat rolled stock 2 is also characterized by additional geometric parameters. These parameters can be a thickness profile, i.e., the thickness d as a function of the location x in the width direction. Alternatively, they can be parameters derived from the thickness profile, in particular the contour c or a desired profile value C.

  • the distance a is small compared to the width b.
  • Typical values a are, for example, 25 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, or 100 mm. Accordingly, the desired profile value C is usually supplemented by the distance a, resulting in a C25 value, a C40 value, a C50 value, a C75 value, or a C100 value.

  • the thickness d can be specified via the rolled stock width b, so that the control device 3 determines the contour c from the profile of the thickness d and determines the desired profile value C from the contour c.
  • step S3 the control device 3 determines an ideal contour profile ci of the flat rolled stock 2.
  • the ideal contour profile ci is a function of the location x.
  • the control device 3 therefore determines the ideal contour profile ci over the width b of the flat rolled stock 2.

  • step S3 of course, only the relevant target variables Z are taken into account. If - purely as an example - the target variables include the temperature, the center thickness d0 and the desired profile value C, only the desired profile value C needs to be taken into account to determine the ideal contour profile ci.
  • the procedure of step S3 is generally known and familiar to those skilled in the art.
  • control device 3 can determine the ideal contour profile ci by determining the coefficients of a polynomial that describes the ideal contour profile ci. In this case, the determination is made such that the ideal contour profile ci—as defined by the coefficients—matches the target variables Z as closely as possible.

Likewise, the actuators 7 to 9 can also comprise actuators 9 in which individual control variables only locally influence the contour c of the flat rolling stock 2.
  • the control device 3 transmits the determined setpoint values COM to the rolling stands 1 of the rolling mill (more precisely: to the real-time controls of the rolling stands 1, i.e., to the so-called L1 system).

Conversely, if the determined contour function cf' is not convex in the final central region 11', the control device 3 reduces the final central region 11' in a step S44. It thus increases the distance a1'. The control device 3 then returns to step S32.
  • FIGS 9 to 11 it is possible to change the procedure of FIG 3 (or possibly also from FIG 7 or FIG 8 ) accordingly FIG 12
  • Steps S1 to S5 and, if necessary, also steps S11 and S21 to S24 are carried out by the control device 3 before the rolling of the flat rolling stock 2 in the rolling mill.
  • the additional steps of FIG 12 are, however, carried out during the rolling of the flat rolling stock 2 in the rolling mill.
  • step S51 the control device 3 receives the measured variables M in a step S51.
  • the content of step S51 corresponds to step S31 of the FIG 9 and 11
  • the difference lies essentially in the time at which step S51 is executed, namely during the rolling of the flat rolled stock 2 in the rolling mill.
  • the measured variables M are related to a section of the flat rolled stock 2, which has already been rolled, while another section of the flat rolled stock 2 is currently being rolled.
  • step S52 the control device 3 determines an associated contour function cf'.
  • the content of step S52 is similar to step S32 of the FIG 9 and 11
  • step S53 the control device 3 adjusts the setpoint values COM for the manipulated variables based on the deviation of the contour function cf' from the ideal contour profile ci. The control device 3 then returns to step S5.
  • the final mean range 11' can be the same as the initial mean range 11 used to determine the target values COM.
  • the distance a1' can be the same as the distance a1. This is the simplest case. However, it is also possible to use the procedure of FIG 12 as shown in FIG 13 to modify.
  • FIG 13 modifies the approach of FIG 12 in the same way in which the approach of FIG 9 in FIG 11 was modified.
  • step S61 the control device 3 checks whether a termination criterion is met. Options for defining a reasonable termination criterion are generally known to those skilled in the art. If the termination criterion is met, the control device 3 proceeds to step S53 and then returns to step S5.
  • the control device 3 checks in a step S62 whether the determined contour function cf' is convex in the final central region 11'. If this is the case, the control device 3 enlarges in a Step S63 reduces the final central region 11'. It thus reduces the distance a1'. Conversely, if the determined contour function cf' is not convex in the final central region 11', the control device 3 reduces the final central region 11' in step S64. It thus increases the distance a1'. The control device 3 then returns to step S52.
  • control variables can act on actuators 7, 8, which influence the contour c of the flat rolling stock 2 over the entire width b of the flat rolling stock 2.
  • a cooling device 9 is provided, by means of which the work rolls 10 of at least one of the rolling stands 1 can be cooled spatially resolved across the rolling stock width b. In this case, it is possible to use the procedure of FIG 3 (or, where applicable, one of the subsequent versions of the FIGS 6 to 13 ) as set out below in connection with FIG 14 is explained.
  • steps S71 to S73 are present. Steps S71 and S72 are typically executed before step S5. Step S73 is typically executed together with step S5.
  • step S71 the control device 3 determines the deviation of the expected contour profile ce from the ideal contour profile ci in the edge regions of the flat rolled stock 2 - that is, between the initial region boundaries 12 and the edges of the flat rolled stock 2. Based on this, the control device 3 determines in step S72 for those elements of the cooling device 9 which are directed to the edge regions of the flat rolling stock 2, control values.
  • the control values are determined in such a way that, on the one hand, the expected contour profile ce in the edge regions of the flat rolling stock 2 is approximated as closely as possible to the ideal contour profile ci, but on the other hand, the expected contour profile ce in the initial central region 11 is not changed.
  • step S73 the setpoint values COM and additionally the determined control values are output to the cooling device 9 and the cooling device 9 is thus controlled accordingly.
  • the expected contour profile ce is thus approximated as closely as possible to the ideal contour profile ci - but only secondarily - also in the regions from the region boundaries 12 to the edges of the flat rolling stock 2.
  • the setpoint values COM for actuators 7, 8, for which the associated manipulated variable influences the contour c of the flat rolling stock 2 globally across the entire width b of the flat rolling stock 2, are not changed.
  • the setpoint values COM for actuators 9, for which individual manipulated variables only locally influence the contour c of the flat rolling stock 2 are also changed only to the extent that this is possible without changing the expected contour profile ce in the initial central region 11.
  • controlling the corresponding elements of the cooling device 9 involves maximizing the coolant flow. However, in some cases, minimizing or at least reducing the coolant flow may also be necessary.
  • the present invention offers many advantages.
  • it allows for an enlargement of the initial central region 11, allowing a so-called box profile to be achieved. Nevertheless, the rolling process can be reliably maintained.
