[0034] 1. System functional architecture and module composition
[0035] The overall technical scheme of the present invention is: using a far-infrared thermal imaging camera to collect the thermal image signal of the steel flow during the converter tapping, according to the difference in thermal emissivity of molten steel and steel slag contained in the steel flow in a specific far-infrared band, combined with discrete wavelet The Discrete Wavelet Transfer (DWT) algorithm is used to identify the state of the steel flow online, and then issue relevant control instructions to drive the on-site execution device to complete the real-time monitoring and automatic control of the converter tapping, and ultimately reduce the slag in the ladle The purpose of improving the yield of molten steel and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

The far-infrared data acquisition module (IVS) 1 collects the steel flow image signal, temperature signal, converter inclination angle signal, oxygen lance height signal and the front and back shaking signal of the furnace body through the far-infrared thermal imaging camera. The signal is sent to the industrial field processing control unit, and after the digital signal preprocessing operation, it is output to the industrial-grade personal computer for calculation analysis, and the current steel flow state is obtained. The system control unit (IMCU) 4 converts the obtained steel flow status signal into system control instructions, and outputs it to the industrial field control unit (IFCU) 3 through the signal line, drives the alarm horn and the alarm lamp to work, and automatically controls the furnace to be raised and closed The tap slide plate.
