1. An apparatus for refining a magnetic domain of a grain-oriented electrical steel strip, comprising:
steel strip supporting roll position adjusting equipment that controls a position of a steel strip in up and down directions while supporting the steel strip moving along a production line,
laser irradiating equipment that irradiates a laser beam on the steel strip to melt it to form a groove thereon, and
a detector that detects whether or not the groove is defective by checking a state of the groove formed on the surface of the steel strip,
wherein the detector includes: a non-conductive roll supporting a moving steel strip; a leakage flux measurer including a magnetizer that applies a magnetic force to the surface of the steel strip passing through the non-conductive roll to magnetize the surface of the steel strip, and a magnetic sensor that is spaced apart from the steel strip and measures a leakage magnetic field of the groove formed in the steel strip; and a controller that calculates an output signal of the magnetic sensor to check whether the groove is defective.
2. The apparatus for refining the magnetic domain of the grain oriented electrical steel strip of claim 1 , wherein
a corrector that adjusts a laser focal point position of the steel strip according to a result measured by the detector is included.
3. The apparatus for refining the magnetic domain of the grain oriented electrical steel strip of claim 2 , wherein
the steel strip supporting roll position adjusting equipment includes a steel strip supporting roll position control system that controls the position of the steel strip supporting roll, which supports the steel strip, according to a laser irradiation position of the laser irradiating equipment, and the corrector is connected to the steel strip supporting roll position control system and controls the steel strip supporting roll position control system according to a signal of the detector.
4. The apparatus for refining the magnetic domain of the grain oriented electrical steel strip of claim 1 , wherein
regarding the surface of the steel strip that proceeds while contacting a surface of the steel strip supporting roll in a form of a circular arc, the laser irradiating equipment irradiates a laser beam from a reference point which is a laser beam irradiation position set when an irradiation structure direction of a laser beam passes a central axis of the steel strip supporting roll, to a position spaced apart from a center of the steel strip supporting roll by a predetermined angle along an outer circumferential surface.
5. The apparatus for refining the magnetic domain of the grain oriented electrical steel strip of claim 1 , wherein
an optical system of the laser irradiating equipment has a structure that is rotatable by a driver and rotates with respect to the steel strip to change the angle of the irradiation line of the laser beam with respect to a width direction of the steel strip.
6. The apparatus for refining the magnetic domain of the grain oriented electrical steel strip of claim 1 , wherein
the controller includes a signal changer that changes the leakage magnetic field signal detected by the magnetic sensor to a groove size signal, and a calculator that compares and calculates a groove size reference value that is preset in a steady state and an actual groove size value outputted from the signal changer to determine whether the groove is defective.
7. The apparatus for refining the magnetic domain of the grain oriented electrical steel strip of claim 6 , wherein
the calculator compares the preset steady state groove size reference value and the actual groove size value outputted from the signal changer to determine whether the groove is defective.
8. The apparatus for refining the magnetic domain of the grain oriented electrical steel strip of claim 6 , wherein
the controller further includes an equipment controller that controls driving of the equipment in accordance with an output signal of the calculator.
