Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum Bestimmen der Lage der Enderstarrung im Gießstrang beim Stranggießen von Metallen, insbesondere von Stahl, bei dem der in der Stranggießkokille erzeugte Gießstrang in Stützsegmenten geführt gekühlt und durch die Stützsegmente mit angetriebenen Stützrollenpaaren ausgezogen wird.The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the position the final solidification in the casting strand when continuously casting metals, in particular of steel, in which the casting strand produced in the continuous casting mold is in support segments guided cooled and through the support segments with driven support roller pairs is pulled out.

Eine genaue Bestimmung der Lage der Enderstarrung ist für das Stranggießen von großer Bedeutung. Ein Aspekt ist die Betriebssicherheit, weil bei Kenntnis der Lage der Enderstarrung verhindert werden kann, dass die Erstarrungslänge größer wird als die gestützte Länge und der Strang unter Einfluss der Ferrostatik außerhalb der Strangführung unkontrolliert aufbläht.A precise determination of the position of the final solidification is for continuous casting of great importance. One aspect is operational safety, because knowing the Position of the final solidification can be prevented that the solidification length is greater is called the supported length and the strand under the influence of ferrostatics outside the strand guide inflates in an uncontrolled manner.

Es ist aber auch möglich, eine Verbesserung der Produktqualität zu erreichen, weil mit Kenntnis der Lage der Enderstarrung auch Position und Rate der Soft-Reduction optimiert bzw. wechselnden Gießbedingungen angepasst werden kann, sofern das entsprechende Stützsegment während des Betriebes z.B. hydraulisch verstellbar ist. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es notwendig, die Lage der Enderstarrung zumindest in einer praktikablen Größenordnung zu kennen. But it is also possible to achieve an improvement in product quality because with knowledge of the position of the final solidification also position and rate of soft reduction can be optimized or adapted to changing casting conditions, if the corresponding support segment during operation e.g. hydraulic is adjustable. In this context, it is necessary to determine the position of the final solidification to know at least on a practical scale.

Bekannte Verfahren (JP 7270349; JP 62 148 850) beruhen auf Durchstrahlen des Gießstranges mit Gammastrahlen in einem Bereich, in dem eine Enderstarrung des Gießstrangs nicht vorliegen kann. Die Lage der Enderstarrung kann daher weder genau noch schätzungsweise ermittelt werden.Known methods (JP 7270349; JP 62 148 850) are based on irradiating the Casting strand with gamma rays in an area in which a final solidification of the casting strand cannot be present. The location of the final solidification can therefore can be determined neither exactly nor estimated.

Andere bekannte Verfahren bedienen sich der Oberflächen-Temperatur-Messung und einer auf den Messwerten beruhenden Simulations-Rechnung (JP 600 54257; DD 293 071 A5) Keines der bekannten Verfahren ergibt ausreichend genaue Werte für die Lage der Enderstarrung.Other known methods use the surface temperature measurement and a simulation calculation based on the measured values (JP 600 54257; DD 293 071 A5) None of the known methods gives sufficiently precise information Values for the position of the final solidification.

Die Lage der Enderstarrung ist derzeit noch nicht direkt messbar. Es ist zwar möglich, über die Messung der Zuhaltekräfte der Stützsegmente (z.B. durch Drucksensoren in den Hydraulikzylindern) zu schließen, in welchem Stützsegment die Enderstarrung gerade stattfindet. Im Hinblick auf die Länge des Stützsegmentes ist dieses Verfahren nicht genau genug.The position of the final solidification cannot currently be measured directly. It is possible by measuring the locking forces of the support segments (e.g. through Pressure sensors in the hydraulic cylinders) in which support segment final solidification is taking place. With regard to the length of the support segment this procedure is not accurate enough.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Ermittlung der Lage der Enderstarrung genauer als bisher durchzuführen.The invention has for its object to determine the position of the final solidification to perform more precisely than before.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass zumindest in einem Stützsegment die Strangausziehkraft und / oder die Zuhaltekraft der Stützsegmente gemessen und dass aus den Messwerten der Bereich der Sumpfspitze bestimmt wird. Dieses Verfahren gestaltet die Messung unmittelbarer als alle bisherigen Verfahren, da ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Erstarrungslänge und der benötigten Strangauszugskraft besteht. Aus diesem Grunde können genauere Lagen der Enderstarrung ermittelt werden. Eine besonders genaue Ermittlung findet statt, wenn sowohl die Strangauszugskraft als auch die Zuhaltekraft der Stützsegmente gemessen und aus den Messwerten der Bereich der Sumpfspitze bestimmt wird. The object is achieved according to the invention in that at least in a support segment, the strand extraction force and / or the locking force of the support segments measured and that from the measured values the area of the swamp tip is determined. This procedure makes the measurement more immediate than all previous ones Method because there is a connection between the solidification length and the required pull-out force exists. Because of this, more accurate Layers of final solidification can be determined. A particularly precise determination takes place instead of both the strand pull-out force and the locking force of the support segments measured and the area of the sump peak determined from the measured values becomes.

Dabei kann nach weiteren Merkmalen die Strangauszugskraft aus der Leistungsaufnahme der Strangausziehantriebe bestimmt werden. Dafür steht der von den Motoren aufgenommene Strom durch laufende Messung zur Verfügung. Die Bestimmung der Strangauszugskraft aus der Leistungsaufnahme der Strangantriebe ist unabhängig von der Bauart der Stranggießmaschine (Senkrecht-, Senkrechtabbiege- oder Kreisbogenanlage) möglich. Selbst wenn davon auszugehen wäre, dass der Einfluss der Lage der Enderstarrung auf die gesamte Strangauszugskraft nicht sehr hoch wäre, zeigt sich dieser Weg trotzdem als ein gangbarer Weg, wie noch beschrieben wird.According to further characteristics, the pull-out force from the power consumption of the pull-out drives can be determined. That is what the stands for Motors consumed current available through ongoing measurement. The determination the strand extraction force from the power consumption of the strand drives is independent of the design of the continuous casting machine (vertical, vertical bending or circular arc system) possible. Even if it were assumed that the influence of the position of the final solidification on the total strand pull-out force would not be very high, this path still shows itself as a viable way, how is still described.

Eine weitere Methode, die selbständig oder als Kontrollmethode eingesetzt werden kann, besteht darin, dass die Strangauszugskraft über senkrecht zur Gießrichtung eingebaute Kraftmessdosen bestimmt wird. Bei Senkrechtanlagen (z.B. CSP-Anlagen) kann die aktuelle Strangauszugskraft auch durch Sensoren bestimmt werden, die unterhalb der Auflagepunkte der Stützsegmente installiert sind.Another method that can be used independently or as a control method can, is that the strand pull-out force is perpendicular to the casting direction built-in load cells is determined. For vertical systems (e.g. CSP systems), the current strand pull-out force can also be determined by sensors installed below the support points of the support segments.

Die Genauigkeit der Messungen wird dadurch sehr gesteigert, dass die Lage der Sumpfspitze mit einer Genauigkeit von etwa einem Rollenpaar bestimm werden kann.The accuracy of the measurements is greatly increased by the fact that the position of the Swamp tip can be determined with an accuracy of about a pair of rollers can.

Eine weitere Steigerung der Genauigkeit der Messung kann außerdem erzielt werden, indem Messwerte für die Gießgeschwindigkeit, die Stahlsorte, die Stahltemperatur, den Wärmestrom in der Stranggießkokille, die Kühlwassermenge und den Kühlwasserdruck in der Sekundärkühlung in die Lagebestimmung in einem Modellansatz mit eingerechnet werden.A further increase in the accuracy of the measurement can also be achieved are measured values for the casting speed, the steel grade, the steel temperature, the heat flow in the continuous casting mold, the amount of cooling water and the cooling water pressure in the secondary cooling in the position determination in one Model approach can be included.

Eine Einrichtung zum Bestimmen der Lage der Enderstarrung im Gießstrang beim Stranggießen von Metallen, insbesondere von Stahl, bei dem der in der Stranggießkokille erzeugte Gießstrang in Stützsegmenten geführt, gekühlt und durch die Stützsegmente mit angetriebenen Stützrollenpaaren ausziehbar ist, löst die gestellte Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, dass am Ende eines Stützsegmentes jeweils Kraftmessdosen senkrecht zur Gießrichtung angeordnet sind und dass aufgrund deren Messwerte einzeln oder zusammen mit Werten der Strangantriebsleistung Werte der Strangauszugskraft errechenbar sind, die ein Maß für die Lage der Enderstarrung bilden. Dadurch findet eine genaue Ermittlung der Lage des Bereiches der Enderstarrung statt, wobei verhältnismäßig einfache und erprobte Mittel einsetzbar sind.A device for determining the position of the final solidification in the casting strand at Continuous casting of metals, in particular steel, in which the in the continuous casting mold generated casting strand guided in support segments, cooled and through the Support segments with driven pairs of support rollers can be pulled out, solves the posed Task according to the invention in that at the end of a support segment load cells are arranged perpendicular to the casting direction and that based on their measured values individually or together with values of the drive power Values of the strand pull-out force can be calculated, which are a measure of the Form the position of the final solidification. This enables an exact determination of the situation of the area of final solidification taking place, being relatively simple and tried Funds can be used.

Der Einsatz kann nach weiteren Merkmalen derart erfolgen, dass die Kraftmessdosen kraftschlüssig zwischen jeweils zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Stützsegmenten angeordnet sind. Diese Lösung ist z.B. für Senkrechtanlagen ein praktikabler Weg, um die Messgenauigkeit zu steigem.According to other features, the load cells can be used in such a way that the load cells non-positively between two successive support segments are arranged. This solution is e.g. a practical way for vertical systems, to increase the measuring accuracy.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass letzte Kraftmessdosen im Strangweg vor angetriebenen Stützrollenpaaren angeordnet sind und auf dem Segmentrahmen aufgelagert sind. Dadurch wird die Strangauszugskraft in diesem Bereich, d.h. vor den angetriebenen Stützrollen ermittelt.According to a further embodiment it is provided that the last load cells in the Strand path are arranged in front of driven support roller pairs and on the Segment frames are supported. This causes the strand pull-out force in this Area, i.e. determined in front of the driven support rollers.

Für eine Erhöhung der Genauigkeit der Messwerte ist ferner vorteilhaft, dass die Messwerte aus Paaren von Kraftmessdosen in einem Modell-Ansatz mit berücksichtigt werden.To increase the accuracy of the measured values, it is also advantageous that the Measured values from pairs of load cells are taken into account in a model approach become.

Eine andere Verbesserung sieht vor, dass die Lage der Enderstarrung mit der Genauigkeit zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Rollenpaaren bestimmbar ist. In Kombination mit der Messung der Zuhaltekraft der Stützsegmente (z.B. über den Hydraulikdruck der Segmentzylinder) kann die Lage der Enderstarrung aus der Strangauszugskraft mit einer Genauigkeit von einem Rollenpaar bestimmt werden. Another improvement provides that the position of the final solidification with the Accuracy between two successive pairs of rollers can be determined. In Combination with the measurement of the locking force of the support segments (e.g. via the Hydraulic pressure of the segment cylinder) can change the position of the final solidification from the Extraction force can be determined with an accuracy of one pair of rollers.

Der Vorteil ist, dass dieses Verfahren nicht mehr von der Genauigkeit eines Modellansatzes abhängig ist und auch systematische oder temporär auftretende Fehler bei der Erfassung der Modell-Eingabedaten, z.B. verstopfte Düsen, Fehlstellungen und Verformungen der Stützsegmente, Rollenverschleiß, Messfehler bei der Wärme-stromdichte oder der Stahltemperatur, keinen Einfluss auf die Genauigkeit der Bestimmung der Lage der Enderstarrung haben.The advantage is that this method no longer depends on the accuracy of a model approach is dependent and also systematic or temporary Errors in the acquisition of the model input data, e.g. clogged nozzles, misalignments and deformations of the support segments, roller wear, measurement errors with the heat current density or the steel temperature, no influence on the accuracy the determination of the position of the final solidification.

In der Stranggießkokille 1 wird ein Gießstrang 2 aus teilweise erstarrtem Stahl erzeugt und in Stützsegmenten 3 und 4 zwischen Sätzen von Rollenpaaren geführt, gekühlt und gestützt. Der Gießstrang 2 wird mittels angetriebenen Rollenpaaren 5 und 6 ausgezogen. Das verfahren zum bestimmen der Lage der Enderstarrung 12 wird derart ausgeführt, dass zumindest in einem Stützsegment 3 oder 4 die Strangauszugskraft 10 und / oder die Zuhaltekraft der Stützsegmente 3, 4 durch (nicht näher gezeichnete) in hydraulischen Kolben-Zylinder-Einheiten vorhandene Sensoren gemessen und dass aus den Messwerten der Bereich der Sumpfspitze bestimmt wird. Dabei berechnet sich die Strangauszugskraft 10 aus der Leistungsaufnahme der Strangausziehantriebe. Eine Alternative besteht darin, dass die Strangauszugskraft 10 über senkrecht zur Gießrichtung eingebaute Kraftmessdosen 7, 8, die Kraftmessdosen-Paare 9 bilden, errechnet wird. The vertical continuous casting installation shown in FIG. 1 can also be used as a vertical bending installation or be viewed as an arch system. In the continuous casting mold 1, a casting strand 2 is produced from partially solidified steel and in support segments 3 and 4 guided, cooled and supported between sets of pairs of rollers. The casting strand 2 is pulled out by means of driven roller pairs 5 and 6. The method for determining the position of the final solidification 12 becomes such executed that at least in a support segment 3 or 4, the strand pull-out force 10 and / or the locking force of the support segments 3, 4 by (not shown) sensors present in hydraulic piston-cylinder units measured and that the area of the sump peak is determined from the measured values becomes. The strand extraction force 10 is calculated from the power consumption the strand pull-out drives. An alternative is that the strand pull 10 via load cells 7, 8 installed perpendicular to the casting direction Form load cell pairs 9, is calculated.

Die Messung kann innerhalb eines Rechen-Modells vervollständigt werden, indem Messwerte für die Gießgeschwindigkeit, die Stahlsorte, die Stahltemperatur, den Wärmestrom in der Stranggießkokille 1, die Kühlwassermenge und den Kühlwasserdruck in der Sekundärkühlung in die Lagebestimmung in einem Rechenmodell-Ansatz berücksichtigt werden.The measurement can be completed within a calculation model by Measured values for the casting speed, the steel grade, the steel temperature, the Heat flow in the continuous casting mold 1, the amount of cooling water and the cooling water pressure in the secondary cooling in the position determination in a calculation model approach be taken into account.

Am Ende 3a, 4a eines jeweiligen Stützsegmentes 3, 4 sind senkrecht zur Gießrichtung jeweils Kraftmessdosen 7, 7 und 8, 8, zu Kraftmessdosen-Paaren 9 zusammengeschaltet angeordnet.At the end 3a, 4a of a respective support segment 3, 4 are perpendicular to the casting direction load cells 7, 7 and 8, 8 are connected to load cell pairs 9 arranged.

Die Messwerte der Kraftmessdosen 7, 8 in Form der Strangauszugskraft 10 werden einzeln oder zusammen mit Werten der Strangantriebsleistung 11 verarbeitet, woraus sich ein Maß für die Lage 12 der Enderstarrung ergibt.The measured values of the load cells 7, 8 are in the form of the strand pull-out force 10 processed individually or together with values of the strand drive power 11, which gives a measure of the position 12 of the final solidification.

Die Kraftmessdosen 7, 8 sind kraftschlüssig zwischen jeweils zwei aufeinander folgende Stützsegmente 3, 4 angeordnet, wobei die letzten Kraftmessdosen 8, 89 im Strangweg vor den angetriebenen Stützrollenpaaren 5, 6 aufgestützt sind. Die Messwerte werden von den Kraftmessdosen 7, 8 paarweise in einen Rechenmodell-Ansatz mit eingegeben. Die Lage der Enderstarrung 12 wird zumindest mit dem Abstand zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Rollenpaaren der Strangführung ausgegeben oder angezeigt.The load cells 7, 8 are non-positively between each other following support segments 3, 4 are arranged, the last load cells 8, 89 are supported in the strand path in front of the driven support roller pairs 5, 6. The Measured values are taken from the load cells 7, 8 in pairs in a computing model approach entered with. The position of the final solidification 12 is at least with the distance between two successive pairs of rollers of the strand guide issued or displayed.

In Fig. 3 ist ein Diagramm über der Erstarrungslänge (mm) und der Strangauszugskraft (kN) dargestellt. Daraus ist eine sehr direkte Methode, die Lage der Enderstarrung zu bestimmen, zu entnehmen. Für die Segmente wird der Auszugswiderstand ermittelt. Aus der berechneten Strangauszugslänge und der Änderung der Strangauszugskraft ergibt sich aufgrund der Änderung der Erstarrungslänge die Enderstarrung. In Fig. 3 is a diagram of the solidification length (mm) and the strand pull-out force (kN). From this is a very direct method, the location of the To determine the final solidification. The pull-out resistance is used for the segments determined. From the calculated strand extension length and the change the strand pull-out force results from the change in the solidification length the final solidification.
