Abstract

A precursor detection device 6 detects a precursor of a stick-slip phenomenon in a drawing machine 1 . The precursor detection device 6 includes a load measurement section 61 for measuring a load applied to a plug support bar 4 in the drawing direction, a precursor detection section 62 for detecting a precursor of a stick-slip phenomenon based on a load measurement value measured by the load measurement section 61 , and a control section 63 . After drawing is started, a load applied to the plug support bar 4 in the drawing direction is measured by the load measurement section 61 during a predetermined period from a measurement start point to a measurement end point, and based on the measured load measurement values, a precursor of a stick-slip phenomenon is detected by the precursor detection section 62.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

A precursor detection method for detecting a precursor of a stick-slip phenomenon during a cold drawing of a pipe or tube by a drawing machine including a die, a plug provided in the die, and a plug support bar for supporting the plug, the precursor detection method of the stick-slip phenomenon comprising:
a load measurement step of measuring a load applied to the plug support bar in the drawing direction, during a predetermined period from a measurement start point to a measurement end point after drawing is started; and
a precursor detection step of detecting a precursor of the stick-slip phenomenon before an occurrence of the stick-slip phenomenon, based on load measurement values obtained in the load measurement step, wherein
in the precursor detection step, frequency analysis of load measurement values is performed over a predetermined frequency band, and it is judged that the precursor of the stick-slip phenomenon has occurred when a peak intensity of an obtained frequency spectrum by the frequency analysis exceeds a predetermined reference value.

2. A method for cold drawing a pipe or tube, comprising
cold drawing a pipe or tube by a drawing machine including a die, a plug provided in the die, and a plug support bar for supporting the plug; and
detecting a precursor of a stick-slip phenomenon by the precursor detection method according to claim 1 , wherein when the precursor of the stick-slip phenomenon is detected, a drawing speed of the pipe or tube by the drawing machine is made to be reduced.

3. A precursor detection device for detecting a precursor of a stick-slip phenomenon during cold drawing a pipe or tube by a drawing machine including a die, a plug provided in the die, and a plug support bar for supporting the plug, the precursor detection device of the stick-slip phenomenon comprising:
a load measurement section for measuring a load applied to the plug support bar in the drawing direction during a predetermined period from a measurement start point to a measurement end point after drawing is started; and
a precursor detection section connected to the load measurement section for detecting a precursor of the stick-slip phenomenon before an occurrence of the stick-slip phenomenon, based on load measurement values measured by the load measurement section, wherein
the load measurement section includes a strain gauge bonded to the plug support bar and a load calculation section connected to the strain gauge; or a load cell, and
