Abstract: For the complex shape problems of the cold rolling strip with the large width-thickness ratio, according to the shape detection unit, the comprehensive compensation of the process errors, the asymmetrical high-order shape pattern recognition, the shape statistical evaluation and the shape coordinated regulation methods, the physical mechanism of the shape control precision and efficiency are analyzed in detail. Based on the mechanism-intelligence cooperative regulation model and the virtual instrument platform, a new intelligent shape control system of cold rolling strip is developed. First of all, the thinning shape detection unit can not only significantly make the edge shape detection effect of the cold rolling strip better, but also improve the recognition accuracy of complex shape defects. Secondly, taking the response time and the control characteristic of every shape control mean into account, the hierarchical combined regulation strategy can make full use of the shape regulation potential of all shape control means. On the other hand, it is helpful in avoiding the performance conflict of different shape control means. In addition, the online implementation of intelligent statistical evaluation can accurately assess the characteristics of different mills and the shape index of the cold rolling strip, which can optimize the shape control process to a certain extent. The case shows that the close-loop period of the new shape system, based on the virtual instrument platform which significantly improves the shape control efficiency and the control accuracy, is shortened within 100 ms, and the shape control is within 6 I.
