Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides a withdrawal control apparatus for continuous casting production (simply referred to as "apparatus" in the embodiment of the present invention), and a withdrawal control method (simply referred to as "method" in the embodiment of the present invention) based on the apparatus. The equipment and the method can realize the digital control and the fine management of the complete knockout process from the knockout of the continuous casting machine 4 to the stacking of the pusher, can promote the improvement of the production efficiency, and are favorable for the fine management of the subsequent process of hoisting and distributing the green bodies 10, thereby leading the whole knockout process comprising the knockout, the stacking and the hoisting to be capable of carrying out continuous digital control.
Specifically, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
s1, respectively obtaining a first billet parameter in a waiting area of the continuous casting machine 4, a second billet parameter in a billet pushing area and a stacking area of the pusher, and a third billet parameter in a cutting area of the continuous casting machine 4;
s2, calculating and establishing a corresponding blank sending instruction based on the first blank parameter, calculating and establishing a corresponding blank supplementing instruction based on the first blank parameter, the second blank parameter and the third blank parameter, and calculating and establishing a corresponding blank pushing instruction based on the second blank parameter;
and S3, executing corresponding blank feeding operation based on the blank feeding instruction, executing corresponding blank supplementing operation based on the blank supplementing instruction, and executing corresponding blank pushing operation based on the blank pushing instruction.
In the above method, as shown in fig. 1, the billet discharging area 43 of the continuous casting machine 4 comprises a cutting area and a waiting area which are arranged in series, the pusher comprises a billet pushing area 7 and a stacking area arranged at the outlet end of the billet pushing area, the waiting area is separated from the inlet end of the billet pushing area 7 by a lifting baffle plate 45, and the connection and disconnection between the waiting area and the billet pushing area 7 are controlled by the lifting of the lifting baffle plate 45.
In the method, the first blank parameter comprises the real-time blank position and the blank number in the waiting area. The second blank parameters include the position and number of blanks in the blank pushing zone 7 and the number of blanks stacked in the stacking zone. The third blank parameters include the real-time position of the blank within the cutting zone and the number of blanks. It can be understood that the method obtains the image data in the waiting area, the stacking area and the cutting area through a machine vision technology, and analyzes and calculates the image data to obtain the first blank parameter, the second blank parameter and the third blank parameter.
In the method, the blank conveying instruction is to convey the blank 10 in the cutting area to the lifting baffle in the waiting area; the blank supplementing instruction is based on the real-time position and the number of the blanks in the cutting area, the real-time position and the number of the blanks in the waiting area, the position and the number of the blanks in the blank pushing area 7 and the stacking number of the blanks in the stacking area, and the blanks 10 in the waiting area are sent to the blank pushing area 7; the blank pushing instruction is based on the blank position and the blank stacking number in the blank pushing area 7 and the blank stacking number in the stacking area, and the specified number of blanks 10 in the blank pushing area 7 are pushed into the stacking area until the blank stacking number in the stacking area reaches the preset maximum value.
Correspondingly, the blank conveying operation is an execution action matched with the blank conveying instruction. That is, the blank feeding operation is to feed the blank 10 in the cutting area into the waiting area, the blank supplementing operation is to feed the blank 10 in the waiting area into the blank pushing area 7, and the blank pushing operation is to feed the blank 10 in the blank pushing area 7 into the stacking area.
In the method, the blank conveying monitoring subsystem can monitor the real-time positions and the number of the blanks in the cutting area in real time, and if a new blank 10 appears on a flow channel in the cutting area, the blank 10 is conveyed into the waiting area, so that the smooth execution and uninterrupted execution of the upstream cutting operation and the downstream blank supplementing operation of the continuous casting machine 4 are ensured.
In the method, the blank supplementing instruction can also send the blank 10 of the specified runner in the waiting area into the blank pushing area 7 based on the real-time position and the number of the blanks in the waiting area, so that the blank 10 in the waiting area in the continuous casting machine 4 can be sent into the blank pushing area 7 in time, and further the automatic control of blank sending is realized.
Further, the blank supplementing instruction is as follows: based on the real-time position and the number of the blanks in the cutting area, the real-time position and the number of the blanks in the waiting area, the position and the number of the blanks in the blank pushing area 7 and the stacking number of the blanks in the stacking area, the lifting baffle 45 is driven to be opened to send the blanks 10 in the waiting area to the blank pushing area 7, and the lifting baffle 45 is driven to be closed after all the blanks 10 enter the blank pushing area 7. It can be seen that the on-off between the waiting area and the blank pushing area 7 can be controlled by the lifting of the lifting baffle 45, so that the blank supplementing operation and the blank pushing operation are not interfered with each other, the blank 10 entering the waiting area in the blank conveying operation can be reliably stopped by the lifting baffle 45, and the operation at each stage is accurate and smooth.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in the apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the billet discharging area 43 of the continuous casting machine 4 is connected to the pusher, and the automatic control system is respectively connected to the continuous casting machine 4 and the pusher 8, so as to automatically operate the continuous casting machine 4 and the pusher 8 by using the automatic control system, thereby realizing the processes of conveying the continuous casting billet 42 from the cutting into the billet 10, conveying the billet 10, and pushing and stacking after the billet discharging, so as to form a complete set of automatic control assembly line for the billet discharging process.
As shown in fig. 1, the continuous casting machine 4 of the apparatus is provided with a run-out, one end of which is formed with a cutting area and the other end of which is formed with a waiting area. The pusher is provided with a billet pushing area 7, the inlet end of the billet pushing area 7 is connected with the waiting area in an openable and closable manner, and the outlet end of the billet pushing area 7 is provided with a stacking area. The continuous casting billet 42 output by the continuous casting machine 4 forms a blank body 10 after cutting. The blanks 10 can enter the blank pushing area 7 of the pusher through the blank discharging flow channel and are pushed to the stacking area to be stacked, so that the blanks 10 stacked to a preset number are lifted to the site of the subsequent process from the current stacking area, the blank discharging process is finished, and the blanks 10 are off-line.
In one embodiment, the run-out zone 43 of the continuous casting machine 4 is provided with several parallel run-out runners. The ejection runners are parallel to each other, and a space is left between adjacent ejection runners to avoid interference of the blanks 10 during conveying. A plurality of blank conveying roller ways 44 are respectively arranged in each blank discharging flow passage in the waiting area, the direction pointing to the blank pushing area 7 along the blank discharging flow passages is taken as the blank discharging direction, and the rolling direction of the blank conveying roller ways 44 is arranged along the blank discharging direction, so that the blanks 10 conveyed on the blank conveying roller ways are pushed to advance by the rolling of the blank conveying roller ways 44. Each ejection flow passage is provided with a plurality of cutting roller ways at intervals in the cutting area. Preferably, the cutting roller table is parallel to the slab conveying roller table 44, and the rolling direction of the cutting roller table is set along the slab discharging direction. Each billet discharging flow passage is also provided with a flame cutter 41 connected with the cutting roller way in the cutting area, so that the continuous billet 42 conveyed on the cutting roller way is cut into the billet 10 by the flame cutter 41. One end of each ejection flow channel, which is provided with a waiting area, is connected with the inlet end of the blank pushing area 7 through a lifting baffle 45, so that the opening and closing of the inlet end of the blank pushing area 7 are realized by the lifting motion of the lifting baffle 45. That is, the lifting baffle 45 can stop the blank 10 on the ejection flow channel in the waiting area when in the closed state; when the lifting baffle 45 is in an open state, the blank 10 on the ejection flow channel can advance along with the rolling of the blank conveying roller way 44 in the ejection flow channel until completely entering the blank pushing area 7 of the steel pusher.
In one embodiment, a billet pushing roller way 71 and a billet pushing mechanism 8 are arranged in the billet pushing area 7 of the steel pusher. Wherein, a plurality of blank-pushing roller ways 71 are arranged in the blank-pushing area 7. One end of the blank-pushing roller 71 is the inlet end of the blank-pushing area 7, and the blank-discharging flow channels are respectively connected to the side of the blank-pushing roller 71 which is the inlet end of the blank-pushing area 7. An outlet end of the blank pushing area 7 is formed at least one end of the blank pushing roller table 71 along the blank pushing direction, so that when the blank 10 enters the blank pushing area 7 from the blank discharging flow channel, the length direction of the blank 10 is perpendicular to the blank pushing direction. The blank pushing mechanism 8 is arranged on the blank pushing roller table 71 and can move back and forth along the blank pushing direction. The blank pushing roller ways 71 can enable the blank 10 to enter the blank pushing area 7 according to the blank ejection direction, and the blank continues to move forward under the rolling action of each blank pushing roller way 71 until the blank 10 completely enters the blank pushing area 7. The blank pushing mechanism 8 can push the blank 10 in the blank pushing area 7 into the stacking area on the first cooling bed 5 or the second cooling bed 9 at the end of the blank pushing roller table 71 by moving back and forth along the blank pushing direction.
It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the moving direction of the blank pushing mechanism 8 is the blank pushing direction, and the rolling direction of each blank conveying roller table 44 is the blank supplementing direction (the blank supplementing direction is the blank discharging direction of the blank discharging flow channel), the blank pushing direction is perpendicular to the blank supplementing direction, so as to make the blank supplementing operation and the blank pushing operation more smooth.
In order to stop the blank 10 in the blank-pushing area 7 more safely, it is preferable that a fixed baffle 72 is provided at a side of the blank-pushing area 7 opposite to the inlet end of the blank-pushing area 7, and each blank-pushing roller 71, each blank-feeding roller 44 and the fixed baffle 72 are arranged in parallel to stop the blank 10 by the fixed baffle 72 and to ensure that the blank 10 is perpendicular to the blank-pushing direction.

In order to improve the billet-pushing efficiency, it is preferable that the outlet end of the billet-pushing zone 7 of the pusher is formed at one end or both ends of the billet-pushing roller table 71. Namely, the outlet end of the blank pushing area 7 is formed at one end or two ends of the blank pushing roller table 71 in the blank pushing area 7, the blank pushing mechanism 8 can push the blank 10 in the blank pushing area 7 to any stacking area through the back and forth movement along the blank pushing direction.

And the blank conveying monitoring subsystem is used for acquiring the first blank parameters in the waiting area. And the blank pushing monitoring subsystem is used for acquiring the second blank parameters in the stacking area. And the main control subsystem is used for acquiring the third blank parameters in the cutting area. And the blank conveying monitoring subsystem can calculate and establish a corresponding blank conveying instruction based on the first blank parameters.

And if a blank body 10 exists in the waiting area of a certain ejection flow channel, the blank conveying monitoring subsystem sends a blank conveying instruction to the main control subsystem. The main control subsystem automatically controls each blank conveying roller table 44 in the corresponding blank discharging flow channel to roll based on the received blank conveying instruction, so as to convey the blank 10 in the cutting area of the blank discharging flow channel into the waiting area until the blank 10 completely enters the waiting area.
It can be understood that the blank supplementing instruction and the blank supplementing operation are specifically as follows: the blank conveying monitoring subsystem acquires image data of the waiting area by using a machine vision means to obtain first blank parameters, so that whether blanks 10 exist at specified positions of each blank discharging flow channel in the waiting area or not is automatically detected.
