In this regard, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for opening and closing a rolling roll by performing a first control and a second control. The first control is a control for releasing the rolling roll. In the first control, the material to be rolled in the rolled state is decelerated from the speed at the time of rolling to an extremely low speed, and the tension of the material to be rolled on the inlet side and the exit side of the rolling mill is equal to that of the material to be rolled on the rolling roll. It is controlled so that it does not come into contact with the material to be rolled from the closed state. The second control is a control for closing the rolling roll. In the second control, the rolling roll is not brought into contact with the material to be rolled in a state where the speed of the material to be rolled is extremely low, which is lower than the speed at the time of normal rolling, and other predetermined conditions are satisfied. After closing from the open state of, it is controlled to accelerate to the speed at the time of normal rolling.

Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0004]
 By the way, the material to be rolled that is conveyed to the rolling mill may have an abnormality such as a hot band or meandering. If there is an abnormality in the material to be rolled that is conveyed to the rolling mill, it may not be possible to roll normally if rolling is continued, so it is necessary to open the rolling roll.
 However, if the rolling roll is suddenly released while the tension is controlled to give a predetermined tension to the material to be rolled, the torque of the motor that rotates the pinch roll fluctuates abruptly. Then, the material to be rolled slips against the pinch roll, the pinch roll is scratched, unsteady work such as adjustment and replacement of the pinch roll is required, and the time during which rolling cannot be performed increases. Further, if the state in which the material to be rolled continues to slide with respect to the pinch roll, a predetermined tension cannot be applied to the material to be rolled, and the state in which the material to be rolled cannot be rolled normally continues. Patent Document 1 does not describe the control when there is an abnormality in the material to be rolled that is conveyed to the rolling mill.

[0031]
[Functional Configuration]
 Next, the functional configuration of the main control device 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the main control device 500. The main control device 500 includes a first control unit 510, a second control unit 511, a third control unit 512, an abnormality determination unit 514, a speed determination unit 515, a tension determination unit 516, and a processing management unit 517. , Equipped with.
[0032]
 The first control unit 510 controls the rolling gap control device 580 to perform rolling control, and the conveyor control device 550 to control the tension control. Rolling control and tension control will be described later.
 The second control unit 511 opens the rolling gap control device 580 when it is determined that there is an abnormality in the steel sheet 10 while the rolling control started by the control by the first control unit 510 and the tension control are being performed. It is controlled to perform control, and the conveyor control device 550 is controlled to perform speed control. Open control and speed control will be described later.
 The third control unit 512 determined that the first pinch roll speed was stable at the first speed and the second pinch roll speed was stable at the second speed by the speed control started by the control by the second control unit 511. In this case, the conveyor control device 550 controls to restart the tension control, and the rolling gap control device 580 controls to restart the rolling control.
 The first speed and the second speed are predetermined speeds according to the characteristics of the casting and rolling equipment 100 and the like. The first speed and the second speed may be the same speed. The first speed and the second speed are, for example, the casting roll speed at the time of casting and rolling in the casting and rolling equipment 100.
[0033]
 The abnormality determination unit 514 determines that the steel plate 10 is abnormal, at least in either case of determining that the steel plate 10 is meandering or determining that the steel plate 10 has an abnormal thickness variation. judge. An example of abnormal plate thickness variation in the steel plate 10 is a hot band, which will be described later.
 The speed determination unit 515 determines that the first pinch roll speed is stable at the first speed when the first pinch roll speed is continuously included in the first speed range during the first speed determination time. .. Further, the speed determination unit 515 states that the second pinch roll speed is stable at the second speed when the second pinch roll speed is continuously included in the second speed range during the second speed determination time. judge.
 The first speed range is the range of speeds including the first speed. The second speed range is the range of speeds including the second speed. Appropriate values ​​for the casting and rolling equipment 100 are determined for the first speed range, the second speed range, the first speed determination time, and the second speed determination time by simulation, experiment, or the like.
[0034]
 In the tension determination unit 516, when the rear surface tension of the first conveyor 300A is continuously included in the first tension range during the first tension determination time, the rear surface tension of the first conveyor 300A is the first tension. Is judged to be stable. Further, in the tension determination unit 516, when the rear surface tension of the second conveyor 300B is continuously included in the second tension range during the second tension determination time, the rear surface tension of the second conveyor 300B is second. 2 It is judged that the tension is stable.
 The first tension and the second tension are predetermined according to the type of the steel sheet 10, the rolling amount, and the like. The first tension range is the range of tension including the first tension. The second tension range is the range of tension including the second tension. Appropriate values ​​for the casting and rolling equipment 100 are determined for the first tension range, the second tension range, the first tension determination time, and the second tension determination time by simulation, experiment, or the like.
[0035]
 The rear surface tension of the conveyor 300 is the tension of the steel plate 10 on the rear side of the conveyor 300 (the traveling direction side of the steel plate 10). For example, the rear surface tension of the first conveyor 300A is the tension between the first pinch roll 301A and the second pinch roll 301B, which is a roll on the rear side of the first pinch roll 301A. The rear surface tension of the second conveyor 300B is the tension between the second pinch roll 301B and the rolling roll 351 which is a roll on the rear side of the second pinch roll 301B. The rear surface tension of the conveyor 300 is also referred to as the rear surface tension of the pinch roll 301. Further, the rear tension of the first conveyor 300A and the rear tension of the second conveyor 300B are also referred to as the rear tension of the first pinch roll 301A and the rear tension of the second pinch roll 301B, respectively.
 The processing management unit 517 controls each function included in the main control device 500.
[0036]
 Next, the functional configuration of the conveyor control device 550 will be described. The transport machine control device 550 has a transport machine control unit. The conveyor control unit controls the conveyor 300 by either tension control or control including speed control. The carrier control unit includes a tension control unit 560 that performs tension control and a speed control unit 561 that performs speed control. The conveyor control unit may be configured so that the conveyor 300 can be controlled by a control other than tension control and speed control.
 First, the tension control performed by the tension control unit 560 will be described with reference to FIG. 4A. FIG. 4A is a diagram for explaining tension control.
 The tension control is a control for the tension control unit 560 to transfer the steel plate 10 by setting the rear surface tension of the pinch roll 301 to a set tension which is a predetermined tension. The tension control unit 560 of the transfer machine control device 550 controls the tension, so that the transfer machine 300 conveys the steel plate 10 with the rear surface tension of the pinch roll 301 as the set tension. The tension control unit 560 of the first conveyor control device 550A uses the first tension already described as the set tension. The tension control unit 560 of the second carrier control device 550B uses the second tension already described as the set tension.
[0037]
 The tension control performed by the tension control unit 560 will be described in more detail.
 The tension control unit 560 determines the torque limit based on the set tension as the first process. The torque limit is an upper limit value of the torque of the conveyor motor 303 controlled by the tension control unit 560. The tension control unit 560 controls the torque of the transfer motor 303 so as not to exceed the determined torque limit.
 Next, in the tension control unit 560, as a second process, the pinch roll speed of the pinch roll 301 corresponding to the transport motor 303 controlled by the tension control unit 560 is set by a differential speed command from the roll speed of the roll adjacent to the rear side. The transport motor 303 is controlled so as to be slow. It is assumed that the tension control unit 560 has previously acquired the differential speed command from the main control device 500.
 By the second process, the pinch roll speed of the pinch roll 301 corresponding to the transport motor 303 controlled by the tension control unit 560 becomes slower than the roll speed of the roll adjacent to the rear side by the differential speed command. Therefore, the torque of the transport motor 303 controlled by the tension control unit 560 gradually increases, and finally the torque of the transport motor 303 becomes constant at the torque limit determined in the first process. This torque limit corresponds to the set tension. Therefore, when the torque of the transport motor 303 reaches the torque limit, the tension of the steel plate 10 is stabilized at the set tension. However, the tension control unit 560 may perform tension control by a method other than the tension control described here.
[0038]
 Next, the speed control performed by the speed control unit 561 will be described with reference to FIG. 4B. FIG. 4B is a diagram for explaining speed control.
 The speed control is a control for the conveyor 300 to transfer the steel sheet 10 by setting the pinch roll speed to a set speed which is a predetermined speed. The speed control unit 561 of the transfer machine control device 550 controls the speed, so that the transfer machine 300 transfers the steel plate 10 with the pinch roll speed set to the set speed. The speed control unit 561 of the first carrier control device 550A uses the first speed already described as the set speed. The speed control unit 561 of the second carrier control device 550B uses the second speed already described as the set speed.
 The speed control performed by the speed control unit 561 will be described in more detail.
 The speed control unit 561 calculates the actual value of the pinch roll speed based on the rotation speed of the transfer motor 303 acquired from the transfer machine speedometer 304.
 Next, the speed control unit 561 determines the current to be passed through the transfer motor 303 so that the pinch roll speed approaches the set speed based on the difference between the actual value of the pinch roll speed and the set speed.
 Next, the speed control unit 561 controls so that the determined current flows through the transfer motor 303.
 By repeating this process, the speed control unit 561 controls the conveyor 300 to transfer the steel sheet 10 at a set pinch roll speed.
[0039]
 Next, the functional configuration of the rolling speed control device 570 will be described. The rolling speed control device 570 includes a speed control unit. The speed control unit of the rolling speed control device 570 uses the same control method as the speed control unit 561 of the conveyor control device 550, and the rolling mill 350 sets the rolling roll speed to a predetermined rolling roll speed and conveys the steel sheet 10. The rolling motor 354 is controlled so as to do so.
[0040]
 Next, the functional configuration of the rolling gap control device 580 will be described. The rolling gap control device 580 has a rolling mill control unit. The rolling mill control unit controls the rolling mill 350 by any of control including rolling control, open control, and light rolling control. The rolling mill control unit includes a rolling control unit that performs rolling control, an opening control unit that performs opening control, and a light reduction control unit that performs light reduction control. The rolling mill control unit may be configured so that the rolling mill 350 can be controlled by a control other than rolling control, opening control, and light rolling control.
[0041]
 The rolling control unit performs rolling control that controls the rolling mill power cylinder 353 of the rolling mill 350 so as to roll the steel sheet 10 with the rolling roll gap as the first rolling roll gap. When rolling control is performed, tension control is performed by the tension control unit 560 in the conveyor control device 550. This is, for example, when rolling the steel sheet 10 by rolling control, a set tension is applied to the steel sheet 10 so that the steel sheet 10 can be rolled stably. The first rolling roll gap is predetermined as a rolling parameter.
 The opening control unit performs opening control for controlling the rolling mill power cylinder 353 so that at least one of the pair of rolling rolls 351 does not come into contact with the steel plate 10. The state in which at least one of the pair of rolling rolls 351 does not come into contact with the steel sheet 10 is called roll opening.
 The light rolling control unit performs light rolling control to control the rolling mill power cylinder 353 of the rolling mill 350 so that the rolling roll gap is set to the second rolling roll gap and the steel sheet 10 is lightly rolled. The second rolling roll gap is a value larger than the first rolling roll gap.
[0042]
[Hot Band]
 Next, the hot band 13 of the steel plate 10, which is an example of abnormal thickness fluctuation of the steel plate 10, will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C. FIG. 5A is a perspective view showing an example of a casting portion 200 of the twin roll type continuous casting machine 150. FIG. 5B is a plan view showing an example of the casting portion 200. FIG. 5C is a perspective view showing an example of the steel plate 10 on which the hot band 13 is formed.
 As shown in FIG. 5C, the hot band 13 is a thick portion of the steel plate 10 formed by the metal 12 on the side surface of the weir 202 entering during casting. The bullion 12 on the side surface of the weir 202 as shown in FIG. 5A is formed by solidifying the molten steel 11 adhering to the side surface of the weir 202 due to fluctuations in the molten metal level (surface height of the molten steel 11) during casting or the like. Will be done.
 The bullion 12 on the side surface of the weir 202 is peeled off from the weir 202 due to the lower end of the bullion 12 being caught in the casting roll 201 or the like, and as shown in FIG. 5B, between the pair of casting rolls 201. May get in. When the base metal 12 enters between the pair of casting rolls 201, the hardness of the base metal 12 increases the distance between the pair of casting rolls 201, and as shown in FIG. 5C, the steel plate 10 on which the hot band 13 is formed is formed. It is discharged from the double roll type continuous casting machine 150.
 For example, in a normal continuous casting machine having a tundish, a mold, and a plurality of rolls, the molten steel discharged from the tundish is cooled through the mold and conveyed to a plurality of rolls to manufacture a steel sheet. , Powder having a function as a heat insulating material is put into the mold. This powder flows between the mold and the solidified shell and also acts as a lubricant. Therefore, the amount of metal adhering to the side surface of the mold due to fluctuations in the molten metal level is small. On the other hand, in the double-roll type continuous casting machine, since rapid cooling is generally required, powder having a function as a heat insulating material and a lubricant is not added. Therefore, the lubricity is inferior to that of a normal continuous casting machine. Therefore, in the double-roll type continuous casting machine, the amount of the bullion 12 adhering to the side surface of the weir 202 is larger than the amount of the bullion adhering to the side surface of the mold in a normal continuous casting machine. Therefore, in the case of a double-roll type continuous casting machine, the hot band 13 is generally likely to be formed.
[0043]
[Method of detecting the occurrence of a hot band]
 Next, a method of detecting the occurrence of a hot band will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a rolling motor current graph 600 and a rolling roll speed graph 601.
 The rolling motor current graph 600 of FIG. 6 shows the time change of the current flowing through the rolling motor 354 when actually casting and rolling in the casting and rolling system 1. The rolling roll speed graph 601 of FIG. 6 shows the time change of the rolling roll speed when the casting and rolling are actually performed by the casting and rolling system 1. In the rolling roll speed graph 601, the rolling roll speed is expressed in mpm (meters / minute). When acquiring the data of FIG. 6, the rolling speed control device 570 controls the speed control unit to perform speed control, and the rolling gap control device 580 controls the rolling control unit to perform rolling control. In the rolling motor current graph 600, the hot band 13 of the steel sheet 10 reached the rolling roll 351 at a time of about 57.4 (sec).
 As can be seen from the rolling motor current graph 600, when the hot band 13 of the steel sheet 10 reaches the rolling roll 351 the current of the rolling motor 354 increases and reaches the upper limit. Further, as can be seen from the rolling roll speed graph 601, after the hot band 13 of the steel plate 10 reaches the rolling roll 351 the rolling roll speed becomes 0 (zero), and the transfer of the steel plate 10 is stopped in the rolling mill 350.
[0044]
 It is considered that this is partly because the rolling speed control device 570 and the rolling gap control device 580 operate as follows. When the hot band 13 reaches the rolling roll 351, a force in the direction of increasing the rolling roll gap is applied to the rolling roll 351. In this case, the rolling control unit of the rolling gap control device 580 causes the upper rolling roll 351 to press down the steel sheet 10 with a strong force by the rolling mill power cylinder 353 in order to make the rolling roll gap the first rolling roll gap. Control. The speed control unit of the rolling speed control device 570 controls so as to maintain the rolling roll speed. However, since the upper rolling roll 351 reduces the steel sheet 10 with a strong force, the speed control unit of the rolling speed control device 570 increases the current of the rolling motor 354 in order to maintain the rolling roll speed, and the rolling motor 354. Increases the torque of. In this way, the current of the rolling motor 354 reaches the upper limit. Finally, the torque of the rolling motor 354 cannot be increased, the rolling roll 351 cannot withstand the force of pressing the steel plate 10, and the rolling roll speed becomes 0 (zero).
[0045]
 As shown in the rolling motor current graph 600, when the hot band 13 of the steel sheet 10 reaches the rolling roll 351 the current of the rolling motor 354 increases and reaches the upper limit. From this, it can be determined that the hot band 13 has reached the rolling motor 354 when the current of the rolling motor 354 continuously exceeds the current threshold value I1 during the hot band determination time T1. The current threshold value I1 is a current threshold value used for determining the hot band 13. The current threshold value I1 is a current that does not flow in the rolling motor 354 during normal rolling, and is a current that flows in the rolling motor 354 after the hot band 13 reaches the rolling roll 351. The current threshold value I1 is predetermined based on the rolling motor current graph 600. The hot band determination time T1 is predetermined in order to prevent erroneous determination.
[0046]
[Roll release]
 Next, the necessity of roll release when a hot band occurs will be described with reference to the rolling roll speed graph 601 of FIG. As described above, when the rolling control unit of the rolling gap control device 580 continues rolling control after the hot band 13 of the steel sheet 10 reaches the rolling roll 351, the rolling roll speed becomes 0 (zero), and the steel sheet 350 in the rolling mill 350. The transport of 10 is stopped. Therefore, when the hot band 13 reaches the rolling roll 351, the roll is released and the hot band 13 waits for the rolling roll 351 to pass through. As a result, it is possible to prevent the rolling roll speed from becoming 0 (zero).
[0047]
[Wedge amount]
 Next, the wedge amount of the steel plate 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the steel plate 10.
 The wedge amount of the steel plate 10 is the difference in thickness between both ends of the steel plate 10. The wedge amount of the steel plate 10 is defined by the following equation (1).
 Wedge amount = | ta-tb | ... (1)
 Here, ta is the thickness of the steel sheet 10 at the position w (mm) from one end in the width direction of the steel sheet 10. tb is the thickness of the steel sheet 10 at the position w (mm) from the other end in the width direction of the steel sheet 10. As w (mm), for example, 25 (mm) is used.
 In the double-roll type continuous casting machine 150, a pair of casting rolls 201 is used to change molten steel into a plate-shaped steel plate 10. Compared with a normal continuous casting machine, the double-roll type continuous casting machine 150 tends to have a large wedge amount because there are many unstable operating elements such as a hot band being easily generated.
[0048]
 When the steel sheet 10 having a large wedge amount passes through the rolling roll 351, a reduction rate difference occurs between one end and the other end in the width direction of the steel sheet 10 having a large wedge amount according to the plate thickness control. , A speed difference occurs between one end and the other end in this width direction. This speed difference causes meandering. Therefore, when the double-roll type continuous casting machine 150, which tends to have a large wedge amount, is used, the speed difference tends to be large, and the meandering tends to be larger than when a normal continuous casting machine is used. When the steel plate 10 meanders, the steel plate 10 comes into contact with the equipment or the like, causing the equipment or the like to break down or the steel plate 10 to be scratched.
 Therefore, when the meandering of the steel sheet 10 occurs, the roll is opened and the portion of the steel sheet 10 having a large wedge amount is waited to pass through the rolling roll 351. Can be avoided.
[0049]
[Tension Control at Roll Opening]
 Next, with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8D, an operation of a casting and rolling system as a comparative example when the roll is released while tension control is being performed will be described. FIG. 8A is a diagram showing a casting roll speed graph showing a time change of the casting roll speed. FIG. 8B is a diagram showing a first pinch roll speed graph showing a time change of the first pinch roll speed. FIG. 8C is a diagram showing a second pinch roll speed graph showing a time change of the second pinch roll speed. FIG. 8D is a diagram showing a rolling roll speed graph showing a time change of the rolling roll speed. The casting and rolling system as a comparative example has the same configuration as the casting and rolling system 1 of the present embodiment. However, unlike the operation of the casting and rolling system 1 of the present embodiment, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 9, in the casting and rolling system as a comparative example, the conveyor control device 550 only controls the tension.
[0050]
 The data of FIGS. 8A to 8D are obtained when casting and rolling are actually performed using a casting and rolling system as a comparative example. In the casting and rolling system as a comparative example, the tension control unit 560 of the first conveyor control device 550A and the tension control unit 560 of the second conveyor control device 550B perform tension control. Further, in the casting and rolling system as a comparative example, the rolling control unit of the rolling gap control device 580 performs rolling control. However, at about 91 (sec), the rolling control unit of the rolling gap control device 580 stops the rolling control, the opening control unit of the rolling gap control device 580 starts the opening control, and the roll is released. Even after the roll is released, the tension control unit 560 continues the tension control.
 Further, as will be described later, at a time of about 93 (sec), the operation of the casting and rolling system 1 is stopped in the casting and rolling system as a comparative example.
[0051]
 As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D, the casting roll speed, the first pinch roll speed, the second pinch roll speed, and the rolling roll speed are substantially the same until the roll is released. Therefore, it can be said that the plate slip of the steel plate 10 does not occur. The plate slip of the steel plate 10 is a state in which the steel plate 10 is slipping on a roll such as a pinch roll 301.
 The casting roll speed and the rolling roll speed are maintained at positive values ​​even when the rolls are released, as shown from time about 91 (sec) to time about 93 (sec) in FIGS. 8A and 8D. In FIGS. 8A to 8D, the roll is released at a time of about 91 (sec). On the other hand, when the roll is released, the first pinch roll speed and the second pinch roll speed suddenly change and become negative as shown in the vicinity of the time of about 91 (sec) in FIGS. 8B and 8C. Become a value. The fact that the first pinch roll speed and the second pinch roll speed are negative values ​​means that the first pinch roll 301A and the second pinch roll 301B have the steel sheet 10 in the direction opposite to the direction of the rolling mill 350. Indicates that it is rotating in the reverse direction so as to be transported. Here, the steel sheet 10 is conveyed at a speed close to the casting roll speed in the casting and rolling equipment 100, and is always conveyed in the direction of the rolling mill 350 when viewed from the pinch roll 301 in the time zone before and after the roll is released. it is conceivable that. Then, at the moment when the first pinch roll 301A and the second pinch roll 301B rotate in the reverse direction at the time when the roll is released at about 91 (sec), the steel plate 10 is suddenly conveyed in the opposite direction along with the reverse rotation. There is nothing. Therefore, it can be said that the steel plate 10 is slipped in the first pinch roll 301A and the second pinch roll 301B.
[0052]
 It is considered that the steel plate 10 slips due to the roll opening due to the following operation. That is, the tension of the steel sheet 10 fluctuates greatly due to the opening of the roll. At this time, the tension control unit 560 continues the tension control even after the roll is released. Therefore, the tension control unit 560 of the first conveyor control device 550A significantly changes the torque of the first transport motor 303A in order to keep the tension of the steel plate 10 at the first tension. As a result, the rotation speed of the first transport motor 303A fluctuates greatly. As a result, the first pinch roll 301A causes the steel plate 10 to slip. Similarly, the second pinch roll 301B also causes the steel plate 10 to slip.
 Further, as can be seen from the first pinch roll speed graph of FIG. 8B, in the first pinch roll 301A, when the plate slip of the steel plate 10 occurs due to the roll opening, the plate slip of the steel plate 10 continues and the plate slip of the steel plate 10 continues. Is not resolved. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D, the casting roll speed, the first pinch roll speed, the second pinch roll speed, and the rolling roll speed are all 0 (zero) at the latest at time 95 (sec). ), And the operation of the casting and rolling system 1 is stopped.
 When the sheet slip of the steel sheet 10 occurs, the tension cannot be controlled and the steel sheet 10 cannot be rolled normally. In addition, the roll may be scratched due to the slippage of the steel plate 10. Therefore, even if the plate slip of the steel plate 10 occurs when the roll is opened, it is necessary to eliminate the plate slip of the steel plate 10 in a short time.
[0053]
[Control Processing]
 Next, the control processing of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of control processing. By the control process of this embodiment, the plate slippage of the steel plate 10 can be eliminated in a short time. The control process of FIG. 9 is executed by the main control device 500.
 In S100, the processing management unit 517 acquires various parameters of the casting and rolling equipment 100 by referring to the storage device 502 or receiving information from an external device by network communication. Then, the processing management unit 517 initially sets the casting and rolling equipment 100 so as to perform operations corresponding to the acquired various parameters. The various parameters acquired by the processing management unit 517 include the first tension, the first tension range, the first tension determination time, the second tension, the second tension range, the second tension determination time, the first speed, and the first, which have already been described. 1 speed range, 1st speed determination time, 2nd speed, 2nd speed range, 2nd speed determination time, 1st rolling roll gap, 2nd rolling roll gap and the like are included.
 Further, the first control unit 510 controls the casting and rolling equipment 100 to perform casting and rolling. At this time, the first control unit 510 controls the rolling control unit of the rolling gap control device 580 to perform rolling control by transmitting a command to the rolling gap control device 580 via the communication interface 503. Further, the first control unit 510 transmits a command to the first carrier control device 550A and the second carrier control device 550B via the communication interface 503, so that the tension control unit of the first carrier control device 550A The 560 controls the tension control, and the tension control unit 560 of the second conveyor control device 550B controls the tension control. Further, the first control unit 510 controls the speed control unit of the rolling speed control device 570 to perform speed control by transmitting a command to the rolling speed control device 570 via the communication interface 503.
[0054]
 In S101, the processing management unit 517 controls to start the processing of S102, S103, and S104 in parallel.
 In S102, the abnormality determination unit 514 determines whether or not the steel plate 10 is meandering based on the meandering amount obtained from the meandering total 254. The abnormality determination unit 514 determines that the steel plate 10 is meandering when the meandering amount continuously exceeds the meandering amount range during the meandering determination time.

[0068]
[Operation Example]
 Next, an operation example of the control process of FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10A to 10D. FIG. 10A is a diagram showing a casting roll speed graph showing a time change of the casting roll speed. FIG. 10B is a diagram showing a first pinch roll speed graph showing a time change of the first pinch roll speed. FIG. 10C is a diagram showing a second pinch roll speed graph showing a time change of the second pinch roll speed. FIG. 10D is a diagram showing a rolling roll speed graph showing a time change of the rolling roll speed.
 V1, R1, and TV1 in FIG. 10B are the first speed, the first speed range, and the first speed determination time, respectively, which have already been described. V2, R2, and TV2 of FIG. 10C are the second speed, the second speed range, and the second speed determination time already described, respectively. Further, TFr in FIGS. 10B and 10C is the first standby time already described.
[0069]
 In the operation example shown in FIGS. 10A to 10D, the operator gives an opening instruction, and at a time of about 148.6 (sec), the roll is released by the process of S109 of FIG. At this time, as shown in the first pinch roll speed graph of FIG. 10B and the second pinch roll speed graph 622 of FIG. 10C, in S107 and S108 of FIG. 9, the control method of the pinch roll 301 is changed from tension control to speed control. Is changed to.
 After that, when it is determined in the processing of S112, S113, and S114 that the pinch roll speed is stable by the speed control, the control method of the pinch roll 301 is changed from the speed control to the tension control in S118 and S119.
[0070]
 The casting roll speed and the rolling roll speed are maintained at positive values ​​before and after the roll release, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10D near the roll opening time of about 148.5 (sec). On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C around the time when the roll is released at about 148.5 (sec), the first pinch roll speed and the second pinch roll speed suddenly increase before and after the roll is released. It changes and changes from a positive value to a negative value. Therefore, as in the operation example described with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8D, immediately after the roll is released, the steel plate 10 slips in the first pinch roll 301A and the second pinch roll 301B. It can be said that there is.
 However, since the speed control is started when the roll is released, the first pinch roll speed and the second pinch roll speed are the casting roll speed and the rolling roll within 0.5 (sec) after the roll is released. It is the same speed as the speed. Therefore, it can be said that the sheet slippage of the steel sheet 10 is eliminated within 0.5 (sec) after the roll is opened.
[0071]
 After that, even after the tension control is started, the first pinch roll speed and the second pinch roll speed are maintained at the same speeds as the casting roll speed and the rolling roll speed. Therefore, normal rolling is possible.
 As described above, by the control process of FIG. 9, even when the roll is opened, the plate slippage of the steel plate 10 is eliminated in a short time. Then, unlike the operation of the casting and rolling system as a comparative example described with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8D, in the casting and rolling system 1 of the present embodiment, normal rolling can be resumed even after the roll is released.
[0072]
[Effect] When
 rolling is continued when an abnormality occurs in the steel sheet 10, as described above, the rolling roll speed becomes 0 (zero) and rolling is stopped, or the steel sheet 10 becomes a device or the like due to the meandering of the steel sheet 10. The equipment etc. may break down due to contact with. Further, when the end portion of the steel sheet 10 in the width direction comes into contact with the equipment or the like due to the meandering of the steel sheet 10, the steel sheet 10 may be bent and rolling cannot be continued. Therefore, unsteady work such as work for restarting rolling and work for repairing equipment and the like is required. Therefore, the rolling of the steel sheet 10 cannot be continued stably.
 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when an abnormality occurs in the steel sheet 10, the roll is released by the opening control. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rolling from stopping or the equipment or the like from breaking down, and it becomes possible to stably continue the rolling of the steel sheet 10.
[0073]
 Further, if the tension control is continued when the roll is released, the steel plate 10 slips on the pinch roll 301 as described above. And this board slip continues without being resolved. Therefore, the pinch roll 301 is flawed, unsteady work such as replacement of the pinch roll 301 is required, and rolling needs to be stopped. Therefore, the rolling of the steel sheet 10 cannot be continued stably. Further, if the sheet slip of the steel sheet 10 continues, the tension cannot be controlled and the steel sheet 10 cannot be rolled normally.
 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, after the roll is released, the control method of the pinch roll 301 is changed from tension control to speed control. Therefore, as described above, the plate slippage of the steel plate 10 can be eliminated, and the occurrence of unsteady work such as replacement of the pinch roll 301 can be suppressed. Therefore, the rolling of the steel sheet 10 can be stably continued.
 Further, in the present embodiment, the third control unit 512 controls the rolling gap control device 580 to restart the rolling control after the conveyor control device 550 restarts the tension control. Therefore, rolling is automatically restarted. Therefore, the rolling of the steel sheet 10 can be stably continued.
[0074]
 Further, the double-roll type continuous casting machine 150 discharges the steel plate 10 to the conveyor 300. Here, if an abnormality occurs in the steel sheet 10 and the rolling is continued, the rolling is stopped as described above. Therefore, the steel sheet 10 cannot be conveyed, and it is necessary to stop the double-roll type continuous casting machine 150. When the double-roll type continuous casting machine 150 is used, in the production of the steel sheet, the double-roll type continuous casting machine 150 to the winding of the steel sheet 10 after hot rolling are continuously performed, and the pair of casting rolls 201 are used. There is molten steel in, and rapid cooling is performed. Therefore, the molten steel between the pair of casting rolls 201 has a high solid ratio in the solid-liquid coexistence state. If the twin roll type continuous casting machine 150 is stopped in this state, the molten steel solidifies in the hot water pool 210 or between the pair of casting rolls 201. In order to remove the solidified molten steel, it is necessary to clean the hot water pool 210, check and clean the sticking state of the steel between the pair of casting rolls 201, and it takes a lot of time for unsteady work such as these. However, in the present embodiment, even if an abnormality occurs in the steel sheet 10, the transfer of the steel sheet 10 does not stop. This eliminates the need for unsteady work to remove the solidified molten steel. Therefore, the rolling of the steel sheet 10 can be stably continued.
[0075]
 Further, the third control unit 512 controls so that the tension control is restarted after the rolling gap control device 580 is controlled to perform the light reduction control. Therefore, when the tension control is resumed, the rolling roll 351 lightly reduces the steel sheet 10. Therefore, tension can be applied to the steel plate 10 between the pinch roll 301 and the rolling roll 351 by tension control.
[0076]
 Further, when it is determined that there is an abnormality in the steel sheet 10 after the tension control is restarted by the control by the third control unit 512, the second control unit 511 controls the rolling gap control device 580 to perform the opening control. The conveyor control device 550 controls the speed control. Therefore, the rolling control is not restarted until the abnormality in the steel sheet 10 is resolved. Therefore, when the rolling control is restarted, normal rolling can be reliably performed.
[0077]
 Further, when the abnormality determination unit 514 determines that the steel plate 10 is meandering, or at least when it is determined that the steel plate 10 has an abnormal thickness variation, the steel plate 10 has an abnormality. Judge that there is. Therefore, in the casting and rolling system 1, it is possible to reliably detect an abnormality in the steel sheet 10 that is usually assumed.
[0078]
 Further, the abnormality determination unit 514 determines whether or not the hot band 13 is generated in the steel plate 10 based on the current of the rolling motor 354. Therefore, it is possible to perform a simple process for determining the occurrence of the hot band 13.
[0079]
 Further, the speed determination unit 515 states that when the first pinch roll speed continues to be in the first speed range during the first speed determination time, the first pinch roll speed becomes stable at the first speed. judge. Further, the speed determination unit 515 states that when the second pinch roll speed continues to be in the second speed range during the second speed determination time, the second pinch roll speed becomes stable at the second speed. judge. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection that the pinch roll speed is stable.
[0080]
[Modification Example] In the
 above embodiment, the tension determination unit 516 controls the rear surface tension of the conveyor 300. However, the tension determination unit 516 may be configured to control the front tension of the conveyor 300. This is the tension of the steel plate 10 on the front side of the conveyor 300 (the side opposite to the traveling direction of the steel plate 10).
 The casting and rolling equipment 100 includes two conveyors 300, but the conveyors 300 may be one or three or more.
 Further, in the above embodiment, the main control device 500 includes an input device 504. However, the carrier control device 550 may include an input device that receives input from the operator. When the carrier control device 550 receives the opening instruction by the operator via the input device, the carrier control device 550 transmits information to the effect that the opening instruction has been received to the main control device 500. Then, in S104 of FIG. 9, the abnormality determination unit 514 of the main control device 500 determines that the operator has given the opening instruction based on the information received from the conveyor control device 550. At least one of the rolling speed control device 570 and the rolling gap control device 580 may include an input device that receives input from the operator.
