Definitions
- the present invention relates to a strip tension control apparatus for controlling the tension of a strip by threading the strip between a transportation roll and a movable transportation roll and moving the movable transportation roll.
- the apparatus is adapted for maintaining a given strip tension in a process line for rolling or the like.
- the process line is provided with a looper.
- the prior art apparatus includes a dancer roll disposed in the central section, whereby the transmission of the variation in tension is deterred to apply a fixed tension to the strips.
- the prior art tension control apparatus having the dancer roll is constructed in the manner shown in Fig. 4.
- a strip 1 is passed from one transportation roll 2 to the other transportation roll 2 via a dancer roll 3.
- the dancer roll 3 is linked to a wind-up drum 4 and a counterweight 6 by means of a wire 5, and the drum 4 is connected to a motor 8 through a speed reducer 7.
- the motor 8 causes the speed reducer 7 to rotate the wind-up drum 4, thereby moving the dancer roll 3 up and down.
- the tension of the strip 1 is controlled by regulating the torque of the motor.
- Guide means 9 is used to fix the direction of action of the dancer roll 3.
- the conventional prior art tension control apparatus having the dancer roll is helpless against a drastic external variation in tension of the strip in the central section.
- high mechanical resistances are produced between the dancer roll 3 and the guide means 9 and between the wind-up drum 4 and the wire 5.
- the dancer roll 3 is subject to a high moment of inertia during the operation caused by the action of the wind-up roll 4, the motor means 8, and the speed reducer 7, as shown in Fig. 4.
- a backlash of the speed reducer results in a delay in operation or a new variation in tension attributable to the action of the dancer roll.
- the conventional tension control apparatus having the dancer roll is quite helpless against a fine variation in tension due to its great structural mechanical loss, backlash in its mechanical system, and high mechanical resistance.
- the prior art does not permit high- accuracy tension control in response to variations in tension in a continuous operation of the type described above.
- a device for regulating the draught of the strip in a hot rolling mill includes an arm pivotable about an axis parallel to the strip and perpendicular to the direction of strip movement. One end of the arm is held in contact with the strip and carries a sensor which outputs electrical couple signals indicative of the couple applied by the strip to the arm about the pivot axis of said arm.
- a processing and control unit is connected to the couple sensor and to sensors for sensing the angular position of the arm to generate an error signal in dependence on the difference between said couple signal and a reference couple signal.
- drive means are arranged for changing the position of said arm in dependence on the error signal generated by the control and processing unit.
- a first object of the invention is to provide a strip tension control apparatus capable of controlling the tension of a strip with high responsiveness and high accuracy despite its drastic external variation.
- a second object of the present invention is to provide a strip tension control apparatus capable of controlling the tension of a strip with good responsiveness and satisfactory accuracy by means of a small-capacity motor, despite a fine variation in the strip tension.
- the torque of the arm is thus controlled by means of the arm driving motor, and the tension control is effected by turning the movable transportation roll through the medium of the arm.
- the tension control is effected by turning the movable transportation roll through the medium of the arm.
- neither the wind-up drum nor the wire is required, so that the mechanical resistance in the present invention is very small.
- the absence of the wind-up drum and the like in the present invention minimizes the moment of inertia of the machine axis system.
- the arm driving motor is connected directly to the supporting shaft there is no possibility of undergoing a delay in operation or a new variation in tension, which may be caused by backlash when a speed reducer is used.
- the torque is generated in the arm by the following method, as well as by connecting the arm driving motor directly to the supporting shaft.
- the supporting shaft is provided with a counterweight which is adjustable in position with respect to a direction perpendicular to the supporting shaft, and the torque around the supporting shaft is generated in the arm by means of the counterweight.
- the torque to be generated in the arm can be controlled through the control of the motor torque and the adjustment of the counterweight position.
- the angle of swing motion of the arm is detected by means of the angle sensor, and the tension of the strip is detected by means of the tension sensor. Based on the detected angle and the detected tension, the output of the arm driving motor and the position of the counterweight are controlled to control the torque to be generated in the arm, whereby the tension of the strip is controlled at the target tension.
- the torque control by means of the arm driving motor and the torque control through the counterweight position control can be effected in combination with each other.
- the tension of the strip can be controlled with good responsiveness and satisfactory accuracy.
- very effective tension control which is beyond the capability of the conventional prior art dancer roll can be enjoyed such that a fine variation of the strip tension can be eliminated with high accuracy.
- an arm torque to be somewhat fixedly applied depending on the target tension can be obtained through the adjustment of the counterweight position, while an arm torque which rises quickly in response to the variation in tension can be obtained through the torque control by means of the arm driving motor. Accordingly, the motor must only bear the torque corresponding to the variation in tension, so that the motor requires only a small capacity.
- the arm driving motor and a drive unit may be kept to a minimum resulting in an economical advantage.
- reasonable tension control can be ensured such that the torque control is effected through the counterweight position control and the motor can be used for dynamic torque control. In consequence, high- accuracy tension control can be enjoyed.

- a strip 1 is threaded between transportation rolls 2 and a movable transportation roll 10.
- the apparatus generally comprises a movable transportation roll 10, an arm 11, the supporting shaft 12, an arm driving motor 14, a tension sensor 15, an arm angle sensor 16, a tension control section 30, bridle rolls 20, a bridle roll driving motor 21, and a strip speed control section 40.
- the tension of the strip 1 is controlled through a pivoting movement of the roll 10 about the shaft 12.
- the arm 11, one end of which is supported by the supporting shaft 12, is adapted to swing around the shaft 12, and the movable transportation roll 10 is connected to the other end.
- the supporting shaft 12 is pivotally supported by bearing means 13. Both axial ends of the roll 10 are supported by the arm 11.
- the arm driving motor 14 which is coaxially connected to the supporting shaft 12, is used to generate a torque around the supporting shaft 12, thereby applying a tension to the strip 1.
- the arm angle sensor 16 is used to detect the angle of swing motion of the arm 11 or the rotational angle of the arm driving motor 14. A detected angle ⁇ is entered in the tension control section 30 and the strip speed control section 40.
- the tension sensor 15, which detects the tension of the strip 1, is located very close to the transportation rolls 2.
- the tension control section 30 includes a tension controller 31, a dead load compensating arithmetic unit 32, and a tension angle compensating arithmetic unit 33.
- the tension controller 31 feeds back and comparatively calculates the detected tension T from the tension sensor 15 with respect to the target tension Tr, and delivers the torque control command T1.
- the dead load compensating arithmetic unit 32 is used to compensate the moment of inertia for the dead load of the movable transportation roll 10 and the arm 11 in accordance with the detected angle ⁇ from the angle sensor 16.
- the tension angle compensating arithmetic unit 33 is used to compensate (output torque compensation) a change of the relationship between the strip tension and the output torque of the arm driving motor 14 in accordance with the angle of the arm 11.
- the torque control command T1 is compensated by the respective outputs of the arithmetic units 32 and 33 to become a compensatory torque command T1', which is entered in a current controller 34.

- the torque for the dead load is compensated by adding the torque compensation value Tqs to the tension command T1.
- the tension angle compensating arithmetic unit 33 may carry out output torque compensation in the following manner.
- the output torque is compensated by adding the output torque compensation value Tqt to the tension command.
- the strip speed control section 40 controls the transportation speed of the strip 1 so that it is adjusted to a target speed Vr, and controls the angle ⁇ of the arm 11 for a target angle Ar.
- the speed control section 40 includes an angle controller 41, a dead band generator 42, and a speed controller 43.
- the angle controller 41 compares the target angle Ar and the detected angle ⁇ , and delivers speed modification commands for correcting the angle of the arm 11.
- the dead band generator 42 supplies the speed controller 43 with a speed modification command, among others, of which a fine transient variation of angle is cut off.
- the speed controller 43 controls the speed of the bridle roll driving motor 21, and hence, the rotational speed of the bridle rolls 20 in response to the corrected speed modification command thereby adjusting the transportation speed of the strip so that the angle of the arm is fixed.
- the dead band generator 42 serves to remove a fine transient variation of angle in a speed modification signal for angle correction, since any transient signal variation is harmful.
- the strip 1 is windingly fed through the bridle rolls 20, threaded between the one transportation roll 2, the movable transportation roll 10, the other transportation roll 2, and then delivered to a subsequent stage of flow.
- the tension sensor 15 detects the tension T of the strip 1
- the angle sensor 16 detects the angle ⁇ of the arm 11 fitted with the roll 10, to its horizontal position.
- the detected tension T and the detected angle ⁇ are entered in the tension control section 30, and at the same time the target tension Tr is set in the control section 30.
- the detected tension T is fed back to the target tension Tr, whereupon the torque control command T1 is obtained.
- the detected angle ⁇ is entered in the dead load compensating arithmetic unit 32 and the tension angle compensating arithmetic unit 33, whereupon the units 32 and 33 calculate the torque compensation value Tqs for the dead load and the output torque compensation value Tqt of the tension according to equations (1) and (2). These compensation values are added to the tension command T1 so that the command T1 is compensated to become the compensatory torque command T1'.
- the compensatory torque command T1' is entered as a torque command value, that is, a current command value, in the current controller 34.
- the current controller 34 controls the motor driver 18 thereby regulating the torque of the arm driving motor 14, and hence, the tension of the strip 1.
- the motor current detected by means of the current sensor 17 is fed back to the compensatory torque command T1', and entered in the current controller 34.
- the current controller 34 controls the current supply from the motor driver 18 to the arm driving motor 14, thereby regulating the motor current so that the torque of the motor 14 is adjusted to the command value T1'.
- the speed controller 43 delivers the speed modification command for the line speed Vr.
- the fine transient angle variation is removed by means of the dead band generator 42 to prevent a hindrance.
- the speed correction signal is added to the target line speed Vr and is entered as a speed command in the speed controller 43.
- the speed controller 43 controls the bridle roll driving motor 21, thereby adjusting the transportation speed of the strip and the angle ⁇ of the arm 11 to the target speed Vr and the target angle Ar, respectively.
- Table 1 shows results of comparison between the strip tension control apparatus of the present embodiment and the conventional prior art tension control apparatus using the dancer roll.
- compared factors include moment of inertia GD 2 , mechanical loss, and backlash.
- the moment of inertia of the apparatus of the present embodiment is about half that of the conventional apparatus.
- the mechanical loss of the apparatus of the first embodiment is about 2 kg in terms of strip tension, as compared with about 50 kg for the conventional apparatus. This is because the apparatus of the present embodiment involves only the frictional torque of the bearing means of the supporting shaft whereas the conventional apparatus is subject to a mechanical loss of the up-and-down motion mechanism for the dancer roll.
- the apparatus of the first embodiment is not. This is because the motor is connected directly to the arm supporting shaft.
- the second embodiment is a strip tension control apparatus constructed in the manner shown in Fig. 3. As shown in Fig. 3, this strip tension control apparatus, which is constructed substantially in the same manner as the apparatus of the first embodiment, further comprises a counterweight 50, a counterweight position shifting motor 51, and a counterweight position sensor 52.
- the counterweight 50 is arranged on an arm 11 for movement in the longitudinal direction of the arm (or at right angles to a supporting shaft 12). A torque generated in the arm 11 is controlled by adjusting the longitudinal position of the counterweight 50.
- the counterweight 50 is moved by driving the counterweight shifting motor 51.
- the position of the counterweight 50 is detected by means of the counterweight position sensor 52, and is entered in a tension control section 30 (dead load compensating arithmetic unit 32 in the section 30).
- the tension control section 30 includes a tension controller 31, the dead load compensating arithmetic unit 32, a tension angle compensating arithmetic unit 33, and a counterweight position setter 54.
- the tension controller 31 feeds back and comparatively calculates a detected tension T with respect to a target tension Tr, and delivers a torque control command T1.
- the dead load compensating arithmetic unit 32 is used to compensate the moment of inertia for the dead load of a movable transportation roll 10 and the arm 11 in accordance with a detected angle ⁇ from an angle sensor 16.
- the tension angle compensating arithmetic unit 33 is used to compensate (output torque compensation) a change of the relationship between the strip tension and the output torque of an arm driving motor 14 in accordance with the angle of the arm 11.
- the counterweight position setter 54 is used to set the position of the counterweight 50 in accordance with the target tension Tr.
- the counterweight position setter 54 calculates the position St of the counterweight 50 and applies a signal indicative of this position St to a counterweight drive section 53. The calculation of the counterweight position St will be described in detail later.
- the counterweight drive section 53 drives the counterweight position shifting motor 51 to move the counterweight 50 so that the counterweight 50 is located in the position set by means of the setter 54.
- the speed control section 40 includes an angle controller 41 and a speed controller 43.
- the angle controller 41 compares a target angle Ar and the detected angle ⁇ , and delivers a speed modification command for correcting the angle of the arm 11.
- the speed controller 43 controls the speed of the bridle roll driving motor 21, and hence, the rotational speed of the bridle rolls 20 in response to the delivered speed modification command thereby adjusting the transportation speed of the strip so that the angle of the arm is fixed.
- the second embodiment is arranged in the same manner as the first embodiment, so that like reference numerals are used to designate the same parts throughout the drawings.
- the target tension Tr is entered in the counterweight position setter 54, whereupon the setter 54 calculates the position St of the counterweight 50 in accordance with the input target tension Tr, and sets it in the counterweight drive section 53.
- the counterweight position is set in the following manner.
- Tq 2 ⁇ T ⁇ Lr + Wm ⁇ Lm - (Ws ⁇ St + Wr ⁇ Lr + Wf ⁇ Lf)
- Lr is the distance between the central axis of the movable transportation roll 10 and the supporting shaft 12
- Lf is the distance between the center of gravity of the arm 11 and the shaft 12
- Lm is the distance between the center of gravity of the counterweight shifting motor 51 (including the sensor and the like) and the shaft 12
- Wr is the weight of the roll 10
- Ww is the weight of the counterweight 50
- Wf is the weight of the arm 11
- Wm is the weight of the counterweight shifting motor 51 (including the sensor).
- the counterweight shifting motor 51 is located on the opposite side of the supporting shaft 12 with respect to the movable transportation roll 10, so that a torque Wm ⁇ St on the arm 11, which is based on the weight Wm of the motor 51, acts in the same direction as the tension of the strip on the arm 11 as indicated by the first term of equation (3).
- the movable range (between the maximum and minimum values of the position St) for the counterweight 50 should be established by setting the maximum and minimum values of the necessary target tension Tref for operation at economical values which ensure minimized moment of inertia and required performance in consideration of the torque Ctq of the motor 14 and other constants in equation (4).
- the counterweight position St is determined so that the counterweight 50 is situated as close to the supporting shaft 12 of the arm 11 as possible within a range permitted by the torque CTq of the motor 14. Accordingly, the moment of inertia is lowered so that tension control can be effected with high sensitivity.
- the counterweight 50 is moved to the determined position St to obtain the target tension Tref when the time comes for the tension setting or set tension change.
- the counterweight 50 is moved from its stop position to the position St with a certain speed pattern.
- the target value Tref of the strip tension cannot be attained immediately when the time comes for the tension setting or set tension change, so that the tension control is subject to delay.
- the position of the counterweight 50 is first detected by means of the sensor 52 and fed back to the tension control section 30 whereby the torque Tq of the motor 14 for the target tension value Tref of equation (3) is dynamically calculated. Then, the calculated torque Tq is entered in the current controller 34 so that the torque Tq is applied to the arm 11 by means of the arm driving motor 14.
- the delay of the tension control of the counterweight 50 is compensated so that the tension of the strip 1 can be controlled for the target tension Tref without a delay in the timing for tension setting or set tension change.
- the counterweight 50 is arranged for movement on the arm 11 so that it is adjustable in position with respect to a direction perpendicular to the supporting shaft 12. According to this embodiment, however, the counterweight may be arranged on any suitable means other than the arm which is movable at right angles to the supporting shaft.
- the tension of the strip can be controlled with high responsiveness and high accuracy despite its drastic variation externally introduced into the central section or the like. Since the counterweight is provided on the supporting shaft, moreover, the strip tension can be controlled with good responsiveness and satisfactory accuracy by means of the small-capacity motor, despite a fine variation in the strip tension. In setting the strip tension or changing the set tension, furthermore, the tension can be adjusted to the desired target value. Thus, very effective tension control which is beyond the capability of the conventional dancer roll can be enjoyed. An investigation made by the inventor hereof indicated that the apparatus of the present invention can effect high-accuracy tension control such that the variation in the strip tension can be reduced to about 1/3 as compared with the conventional case.
