To overcome the disadvantage that the standard least squares support vector regression(LS-SVR) algorithm is not suitable to multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system modelling directly,an improved LS-SVR algorithm which was defined as multi-output least squares support vector regression(MLSSVR) was put forward by adding samples' absolute errors in objective function and applied to flatness intelligent control.To solve the poor-precision problem of the control scheme based on effective matrix in flatness control,the predictive control was introduced into the control system and the effective matrix-predictive flatness control method was proposed by combining the merits of the two methods.Simulation experiment was conducted on 900HC reversible cold roll.The performance of effective matrix method and the effective matrix-predictive control method were compared,and the results demonstrate the validity of the effective matrix-predictive control method.
Steel strips are the main of steel products and flatness is an important quality indicator of steel strips. Flatness control is the key and highly difficult technique of strip mills. The bottle-neck restricting the improvement of flatness control techniques is that the research on flatness theories and control mathematic models is not in accordance with the requirement of technique developments. To build a simple, rapid and accurate explicit formulation control model has become an urgent need for the development of flatness control technique. This paper puts forward the conception of dynamic effective matrix based on the effective matrix method for flatness control proposed by the authors under the consideration of the influence of the change of parameters in rolling processes on the effective matrix, and the concept is validated by industrial productions. Three methods of the effective matrix generation are induced: the calculation method based on the flatness prediction model; the calculation method based on the data excavation in rolling processes and the direct calculation method based on the network model. A fuzzy neural network effective matrix model is built based on the clusters, and then the network structure is optimized and the high-speed-calculation problem of the dynamic effective matrix is solved. The flatness control scheme for cold strip mills is proposed based on the dynamic effective matrix. On stand 5 of the 1 220 mm five-stand 4-high cold strip tandem mill, the industrial experiment with the control methods of tilting roll and bending roll is done by the control scheme of the static effective matrix and the dynamic effective matrix, respectively. The experiment result proves that the control effect of the dynamic effective matrix is much better than that of the static effective matrix. This paper proposes a new idea and method for the dynamic flatness control in the rolling processes of cold strip mills and develops the theory and model of the flatness control effective matrix method.
Flatness is an important equality indicator of strip rolling and roll subsectional cooling is an important method for flatness control,especially for high order flatness component control.It is very hard to build the mathematic model of roll subsectional cooling because of its characteristics of nonlinearity,hysteresis quality and strong coupling,etc.In order to improve the control effect of roll subsectional cooling control model,the roll subsectional cooling adaptive fuzzy control model based on fuzzy model inversion is built according to the separation principle of fuzzy form on the basis of the conventional fuzzy control model,where the parameters of the fuzzy controller can be dynamically regulated according to the change of rolling conditions.Simulation experiment results of the model indicate that the proposed roll subsectional cooling adaptive fuzzy control model based on fuzzy model inversion has high control precision and rapid response speed with strong self-learning and anti-interference capacity and a new method is provided for high precision flatness control.
