Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of information technology, and in particular, to a data processing method for pyrolysis equipment combined with digital twin. Background Art
[0002] Recycling carbon fiber through the pyrolysis process and generating high-value carbon powder can not only reduce resource waste but also significantly improve the economic benefits of material recycling. However, there are still many deficiencies in the existing pyrolysis methods in achieving refined control. Traditional technologies mostly rely on adjusting empirical parameters, lacking a comprehensive description of the dynamic evolution of the pyrolysis behavior of materials. Especially in complex environments, the real-time monitoring and feedback control capabilities are weak, resulting in large fluctuations in carbon powder quality and poor process stability. These limitations stem from the lack of understanding of the multi-scale mechanisms of the pyrolysis process and the insufficiency of data-driven regulation means. Specifically, the current methods are difficult to accurately capture the interaction law between carbon fiber bundles and the matrix at the mesoscopic scale, nor can they finely describe the dynamic characteristics of the interfacial reaction kinetics at the microscopic scale. Since the dynamic changes of key state variables during the pyrolysis process are difficult to be accurately captured; at the same time, the lack of efficient integration of sensor data leads to an increase in the mapping deviation between the digital model and the physical process; more importantly, the existing feedback mechanism has a lag response and is difficult to adjust process parameters in a timely manner according to the degradation behavior of materials. These unsolved problems directly restrict the intelligence and efficiency of the pyrolysis process. Therefore, how to construct a digital twin system that can real-time characterize the multi-scale pyrolysis behavior of carbon fiber composites, integrate high-precision sensor data, and achieve closed-loop feedback control has become a key issue in improving the refined control ability of the pyrolysis process.

An adjustment parameter database is established according to the fifth batch of verification data. The database structure includes four data tables: power adjustment amount, valve opening change amount, adjustment execution order, and expected deviation correction rate. The control parameter adjustment scheme for the pyrolysis furnace is obtained from the data tables.
[0016] Further, the control parameter adjustment set is constrained and smoothed to obtain a control setpoint, which is formatted into a closed-loop feedback instruction and updated to the pyrolysis furnace control system to obtain the adjusted pyrolysis operation state data, including: extracting the heating power adjustment amount and the valve opening change amount according to the control parameter adjustment set, limiting the heating power adjustment range within 10% of the rated power, limiting the valve opening change range within 5% of the current opening, and using cubic spline interpolation to smooth the adjustment curve to obtain the first set of smoothing parameters.

[0020] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a data processing method for a pyrolysis device combined with digital twin according to the present invention.
[0021] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cracking equipment data processing method combined with digital twins according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1-2 In this embodiment, a cracking equipment data processing method combined with digital twins may specifically include:
[0024] S101, placing a sensor array in the cracking furnace, collecting initial state data and environmental data of the carbon fiber composite material and performing time synchronization processing to generate a time-consistent data set.
[0025] At the beginning of the operation of the cracking furnace, it is necessary to obtain the real-time status of the carbon fiber composite material. To this end, a three-dimensional grid is divided according to the distance from the inner wall of the cracking furnace to the center of the composite material, and the grid spacing can be set according to the material size and monitoring accuracy requirements. For example, for a composite material plate with a size of 1000 mm × 1000 mm, a 50×50 grid can be divided on the surface, with a spacing of 20 mm between each grid, and measuring points are set every 5 mm in the thickness direction to form a three-dimensional sensing network. The sensor array uses K-type thermocouples for temperature measurement, with a range covering -200 to 1370 degrees Celsius and an accuracy of ±0.75%. At the same time, a strain gauge pressure sensor is configured with a range of 0 to 500 kPa and an accuracy of ±0.1%, and a six-channel gas chromatograph is used to detect the concentrations of components such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
[0026] S1011. Collect sensor signals through distributed data collectors to generate the first set of raw data, verify the validity and preliminarily process the data, and remove outliers to improve data reliability.
[0027] During the collection process, the distributed data collector is used to synchronously record the signals of each sensor to form the first set of raw data. To ensure the quality of the data, the validity verification range is set: the temperature data is limited to -50 to 2000 degrees Celsius, the pressure data is 0 to 1000 kPa, and the gas component concentration is 0 to 100%. The removal of abnormal values is based on the cracking process rules, such as the temperature change rate in the heating stage does not exceed 50 degrees Celsius per minute, the temperature difference between adjacent measuring points does not exceed 100 degrees Celsius, the pressure difference does not exceed 50 kPa, and the sum of gas components remains 100%. After verification, the second set of valid data is obtained and sorted by timestamp, laying the foundation for subsequent processing.
[0028] S1012. The second set of valid data is denoised using a Kalman filter and the time series correlation is calculated. Missing data are supplemented using linear interpolation to generate a time-consistent data set. A three-dimensional grid model is constructed to support spatial analysis.
[0029] In the data processing stage, the Kalman filter is applied to denoise the second set of valid data. The filter state vector includes temperature, pressure, and gas component concentration. The observation matrix is determined by the sensor positions, and the noise covariance is obtained through calibration experiments. After filtering, the temperature noise is reduced to ±2 degrees Celsius, and the pressure noise is reduced to ±1 kPa, significantly improving the data smoothness. Then, the Pearson correlation coefficient between each measurement point is calculated with a 15-minute time window, and the data groups with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.8 are synchronized. For missing data, quadratic polynomial interpolation is used for the temperature field, and linear interpolation is used for the pressure field and gas components with an interpolation interval of 1 second to generate the third set of time-synchronized data. Based on this, a three-dimensional spatial grid model is established using Kriging interpolation. The range parameter is determined through experimental variance analysis. For example, the range of the temperature field is 80 mm, and the interpolation error is controlled within 5 degrees Celsius.
[0030] The layout of the sensor array and data processing fully consider the dynamics of the pyrolysis process. Through high-precision acquisition and time synchronization technology, the time-consistent dataset can accurately reflect the state changes of the carbon fiber composite material, providing reliable data support for subsequent digital twin modeling. The obtained dataset is stored in a time-series database, sliced by hour, with each slice containing 36,000 data points. The data integrity is ensured through batch writing and transaction mechanisms, and the query response time is less than 100 milliseconds, laying a foundation for real-time monitoring.
[0031] S102. Obtain the geometric structure, material properties, and process principle of the pyrolysis furnace to establish a digital twin model, and perform a spatial registration operation using the time-consistent dataset. Map the physical positions of the sensor array to the virtual space through a preset spatial coordinate mapping algorithm to generate a spatial registration dataset.
[0032] To achieve an accurate simulation of the pyrolysis process, first, a digital twin model is constructed based on the physical characteristics of the pyrolysis furnace. A laser scanner is used to collect point cloud data from multiple angles with a scanning resolution of 0.5 mm and a total of 5 million points. The complete geometric structure of the pyrolysis furnace is generated through multiple scans and stitching. Subsequently, the point cloud data is imported into 3D modeling software, and the first-layer surface mesh of the inner cavity wall is generated using the Marching Cubes algorithm with an element size set to 2 mm. The initial mesh contains approximately 1 million triangular elements. To reflect the thermal behavior of the material, the thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and density data are extracted from the carbon fiber composite material parameter library. The thermal conductivity increases from 10 W / (m·K) to 25 W / (m·K) with temperature, the specific heat capacity increases from 800 J / (kg·K) to 1500 J / (kg·K), and the density remains stable at 1600 kg / m³.
[0033] S1021. Use a tetrahedral mesh generator to divide the inner cavity of the cracking furnace and the composite material into grids to generate the second layer of grids. Adopt a mesh quality detection and optimization algorithm to improve the applicability of the grids. At the same time, extract feature points according to the physical positions of the sensors and calculate unified coordinate data to lay a foundation for subsequent registration.
[0034] In the grid division stage, import the first layer of grids into the tetrahedral mesh generator, perform three-dimensional division on the internal space of the cracking furnace and the carbon fiber composite material to generate the second layer of volume grids. To ensure the simulation accuracy, conduct a quality assessment on the second layer of grids, calculate the aspect ratio, distortion, and orthogonality indicators, and set the aspect ratio threshold to 5, the distortion threshold to 0.7, and the orthogonality threshold to 0.3. The unqualified grid elements are mainly concentrated in areas with drastic curvature changes such as the feed inlet and the discharge outlet, accounting for about 15%. Locally encrypt these areas, divide the unqualified elements into 4 sub-elements, halve the side length, and adjust the node positions through the Laplace smoothing algorithm. After optimization, the third layer of grids is obtained. At the same time, according to the 8×8×4 layout of the sensor array, with a horizontal spacing of 50 mm and a vertical spacing of 100 mm, use the Harris corner detection algorithm to identify the feature points of the sensor positions. The algorithm response threshold is set to 0.1, the non-maximum suppression window is 3×3 pixels, and the feature point positioning accuracy is better than 0.5 mm. Taking the first sensor in the array as the origin, determine the basis vectors along the arrangement direction, and calculate the transformation from the local coordinate system to the global coordinate system through the Euler angle rotation matrix to generate the first set of unified coordinate data.
[0035] S1022. Use the first set of unified coordinate data and the third layer of grids to perform iterative closest point registration. Solve the spatial transformation matrix by the least squares method and perform deformation optimization to generate the fourth layer of grids. At the same time, construct a radial basis function interpolator to map physical quantities to the virtual space and establish a database of physical quantities and state parameters.
[0036] Based on the first set of unified coordinate data and the third - layer grid, the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) registration algorithm is used to calculate the Euclidean distance matrix between sensor nodes and grid nodes. The maximum number of iterations of the algorithm is set to 50, and the convergence threshold is 0.01 mm. In each iteration, the closest point pairs are first matched, and the rigid - body transformation matrix is solved through singular - value decomposition. Then, the spatial transformation is optimized based on the least - squares criterion to obtain the preliminary registration result. To further improve the accuracy, cubic spline deformation is performed based on the thin - plate spline function. The control points are selected from the grid nodes within a radius of 20 mm around the sensor to generate the fourth - layer grid. For the fourth - layer grid, a registration error evaluation index is defined, and the average deviation between the sensor position and the grid nodes is calculated. Through leave - one - out cross - validation, 80% of the sensor points are randomly selected for registration, and the remaining 20% are used for verification. The average error is controlled within 1 mm, and the maximum error in 95% of the area is less than 2 mm. The control - point density is increased in the areas where the deviation exceeds the standard to optimize and obtain the fifth - layer grid. Subsequently, the corresponding node positions of the sensor are extracted from the fifth - layer grid to construct a radial - basis - function interpolator. The influence radius of the Gaussian kernel function is set to twice the sensor spacing, and interpolation is performed on the temperature field, pressure field, and gas - component field respectively. To avoid dimensional differences, the input data are pre - normalized, and the state parameters of the corresponding nodes in the virtual space are calculated. Finally, a mapping database in the form of key - value pairs is established, where the key is the sensor coordinate, and the value is the temperature, pressure, and gas - component data.
[0037] The spatial registration operation is realized through multi - level grid optimization and precise algorithms, ensuring a high degree of consistency between the digital twin model and the physical cracking furnace state. The improvement of grid quality and the control of registration accuracy make the mapping of physical quantities such as temperature field and pressure field in the virtual space more realistic, providing a solid foundation for subsequent dynamic simulations. This step does not overly limit the specific implementation details of the algorithm, and technicians can adjust the optimization strategy according to actual needs.
[0038] S103: Extract pyrolysis characteristic parameters from the spatial registration dataset and calculate the reaction rate and pyrolysis behavior changes at the micro - scale to generate a set of pyrolysis characteristic parameters.
[0039] Obtain the temperature - field data of the interface between carbon - fiber bundles and the matrix from the spatial registration dataset, and use the central - difference method to calculate the interface temperature - gradient distribution. To ensure the calculation accuracy, the adjacent measurement - point spacing is selected as 0.5 mm, and the temperature measurement range is set from 200 to 1000 degrees Celsius. The central - difference method calculates the gradient through the ratio of the temperature difference between adjacent measurement points to the distance. The interface temperature gradient can reach 200 degrees Celsius per millimeter at the initial stage of pyrolysis and gradually flattens to 50 degrees Celsius per millimeter in the later stage. To evaluate the error, analyze the temperature deviation between adjacent measurement points, which is usually controlled within ±5 degrees Celsius, and the converted gradient error is about 10 degrees Celsius per millimeter. Subsequently, based on Fourier's law of heat conduction, calculate the interface heat - flux density, combine the temperature gradient and the thermal conductivity of the material to generate the first batch of heat - conduction data reflecting the heat - transfer intensity for subsequent gas - diffusion analysis.
[0040] S1031. Calculate the interfacial gas concentration distribution based on the first batch of heat conduction data combined with the gas component monitoring results, deduce the gas generation rate through the principle of mass conservation, and construct an Arrhenius reaction equation to characterize the reaction kinetic characteristics.
[0041] Use a four-channel on-line gas monitor to collect the concentrations of components such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane at the interface, with a monitoring frequency of 1 Hz. Extract the heat flux density from the first batch of heat conduction data, and calculate the gas concentration distribution using Fick's diffusion law. Fick's law determines the gas migration amount per unit time based on the product of the concentration gradient and the diffusion coefficient. The calculation results show that within 10 mm from the interface, the hydrogen concentration decreases from 15% to 5%, and the carbon monoxide concentration decreases from 25% to 8%. According to the change in concentration, estimate the decomposition amount of the substrate per unit time. For example, the decomposition rate reaches 0.2 g / (cm²·min) at 800 °C. Then, based on the principle of mass conservation, calculate the gas generation rate by the difference between the initial mass of the substrate and the real-time gas generation amount. To reveal the relationship between temperature and reaction rate, establish an Arrhenius reaction equation, and obtain the pre-exponential factor and activation energy in the equation through least squares fitting. Divide the temperature into a low-temperature region of 200 to 400 °C, a medium-temperature region of 400 to 700 °C, and a high-temperature region of 700 to 1000 °C. The fitting results show that the activation energies are 80 kJ / mol, 120 kJ / mol, and 150 kJ / mol respectively, generating the second batch of reaction kinetic data.
[0042] S1032. Based on the second batch of reaction kinetic data, construct a mapping function between temperature and reaction rate, calculate the interfacial movement displacement and velocity, and generate a set of pyrolysis characteristic parameters.
[0043] Extract the reaction rate from the second batch of reaction kinetics data, construct the mapping function between temperature and reaction rate, and calculate the interface movement displacement through numerical integration. To improve the calculation accuracy, the interface region is divided into a 100×100 grid, and the spatial discretization method is used to monitor the displacement change. The calculation shows that the interface movement speed in the initial stage of pyrolysis is about 0.01 mm per minute, and it increases to 0.1 mm per minute when the temperature rises to 800 °C. By further deriving the interface movement speed from the relationship between the displacement change and time, it is found that for every 0.1 g / (cm²·min) increase in the reaction rate, the movement speed increases by about 0.02 mm per minute. Based on this, a set of pyrolysis characteristic parameters including temperature gradient, gas concentration, reaction rate, and interface displacement is generated. For easy management, the parameter set is stored in a database with a timestamp index, and the hierarchical storage structure ensures data accuracy: the temperature gradient is accurate to 0.1 °C / mm, the gas concentration is accurate to 0.1%, the reaction rate is accurate to 0.01 g / (cm²·min), and the displacement is accurate to 0.001 mm. The database update frequency is 10 Hz, the data is processed by a lossless compression algorithm with a compression ratio of 5:1, and the retrieval response time is less than 100 ms.
[0044] Through multi-physics field coupling and kinetic analysis, the extraction of pyrolysis characteristic parameters is more comprehensive, reflecting the microscopic behavior of the interaction between carbon fiber bundles and the matrix. The introduction of the Arrhenius equation makes the correlation between the reaction rate and temperature clearer, providing a theoretical basis for the calculation of the interface movement speed. The efficient storage and fast access capabilities of the parameter database support the real-time monitoring and optimization adjustment of the pyrolysis process. This step does not limit the specific numerical range too much and can be adjusted by technicians according to the actual pyrolysis conditions.
[0045] S104. Use the pyrolysis characteristic parameter set to drive the digital twin model for high-frequency iterative calculations, simulate the temperature field, pressure field, and material degradation behavior in the pyrolysis furnace, predict the carbon powder purity, particle size distribution, and residual matrix content, generate the pyrolysis furnace state prediction results, and ensure the prediction accuracy through multi-field coupling calculations and error optimization.
[0046] Based on the pyrolysis characteristic parameter set, the calculation domain grid is divided, and the grid node spacing is determined by the temperature and pressure gradients. In regions with large gradients, such as where the temperature change exceeds 100 °C / mm or the pressure change exceeds 10 kPa / mm, a refined grid is used, and the minimum size is set to 0.1 mm. The control equations for the temperature field and pressure field are constructed using the finite element method, considering heat conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer mechanisms, and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration method is used to calculate the distribution state within the time step. The initial time step is set to 0.01 s and is adaptively adjusted according to the temperature change rate, with a minimum step size of up to 0.001 s. The calculation results show that heat conduction is the main mechanism in the initial stage of pyrolysis, and the proportion of radiation heat transfer increases significantly after the temperature rises to 600 °C, generating the first batch of physical field data, which provides a basis for subsequent degradation analysis.
[0047] S1041. Calculate the material degradation rate and fiber bundle stress distribution for the first batch of physical field data. Through gas-solid interface stress analysis and mass transfer calculation, obtain the carbon element migration rate and carbon powder particle size distribution, and gradually deduce the carbon powder quality index.
[0048] Extract the temperature field and pressure field distributions from the first batch of physical field data, and calculate the material degradation rate by combining the coupling effect of temperature and pressure. Under the conditions of 800 degrees Celsius and 200 kPa, the degradation rate can reach 0.5 grams per square centimeter per minute. Calculate the fiber bundle stress distribution using the anisotropic constitutive relationship, with the Young's modulus in the fiber direction set to 240 GPa and the transverse modulus to 20 GPa. Through stress tensor analysis, the stress distribution conforms to the Weibull distribution, with a characteristic stress of 2 GPa and a Weibull modulus of 10, and then calculate the material fracture probability. Based on the fracture probability, use the slip boundary condition to calculate the gas-solid interface stress, and the tangential stress is usually less than 0.1 MPa. Combining the law of conservation of mass, calculate the diffusion flux of gas-phase components by multiplying the concentration gradient and the diffusion coefficient, and the diffusion coefficient increases to 0.1 square centimeters per second when the temperature rises to 1000 degrees Celsius. Deduce the carbon element migration rate from the flux data and find that it has an exponential relationship with temperature, with an activation energy of about 150 kJ / mol. Then, use the Gaussian mixture clustering algorithm to analyze the carbon powder particle size probability density distribution, set 3 Gaussian components, and optimize the mixture weights by the expectation maximization algorithm. The particle size distribution shows a bimodal characteristic, with the main peak at 5 microns and the secondary peak at 20 microns, divided into 5 particle size intervals with a width of 10 microns, and generate the second batch of product data.
[0049] Through the second batch of product data, calculate the carbon powder content using the carbon element balance relationship, and consider the influence of the residual matrix and impurities to estimate the carbon powder purity, which ranges from 95% to 99.5%. To further analyze the residual matrix, construct a support vector regression model to predict the matrix decomposition rate, select the radial basis function as the kernel function, and optimize the parameters through grid search. The prediction results show that the matrix content decays exponentially with pyrolysis time, with a time constant of about 30 minutes, and gradually decreases from the center to the edge in terms of spatial distribution, generating the third batch of degradation data.
[0050] S1042. Iteratively optimize the digital twin model based on multi-batch data, adjust the boundary conditions of the control equation to reduce the prediction error, and generate high-precision pyrolysis furnace state prediction results.
[0051] Compare the first batch of physical field data, the second batch of product data, and the third batch of degradation data with the measured values, and calculate the error using the least squares method. The initial error may be manifested as a temperature field deviation of ±10 °C, a pressure field deviation of ±5 kPa, and a toner purity deviation of ±0.5%. By adjusting the boundary conditions of the control equations, such as heat flux boundaries or pressure constraints, iterative calculations are performed repeatedly, with an interval of 0.1 s for each iteration. Under typical operating conditions, 50 to 100 iterations are required, and the total duration covers a 4-hour pyrolysis process. The convergence criterion is set as a relative temperature field error of less than 0.1%, a relative pressure field error of less than 1%, and a relative toner purity error of less than 0.5%. After optimization, the model can accurately reflect the dynamic state inside the pyrolysis furnace, providing a reliable basis for process control.
[0052] High-frequency iterative calculations and multi-field coupling analysis enable the digital twin model to truly simulate the pyrolysis process, and the accuracy of the prediction results is significantly improved through error optimization. The quantitative analysis of toner particle size and purity provides data support for product quality control, while the prediction of matrix residue content helps to evaluate resource utilization efficiency. The specific parameters of this step can be flexibly adjusted by technicians according to the actual operating conditions.
[0053] S105. If there is a deviation between the predicted result of the pyrolysis furnace state and the preset target toner quality index, determine the adjustment directions of the heating power distribution and the intake valve opening by analyzing the deviation degree, generate an adjustment set of control parameters for the pyrolysis furnace, and at the same time use multi-objective optimization and prediction algorithms to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the adjustment plan.
[0054] When the prediction result shows that the toner quality index deviates from the target value, first calculate the specific value of the deviation. The target toner quality index includes a purity range set above 98%, a particle size range of 20 to 50 microns, and a maximum residue content not exceeding 2%. By comparing with the prediction result, calculate the purity deviation value, the particle size distribution deviation value, and the residue content deviation value respectively. Establish a weighted sum of squares error function using the multi-objective weighting method, where the purity weight is 0.5, the particle size distribution weight is 0.3, and the residue content weight is 0.2. If the total deviation degree exceeds 0.1, trigger the adjustment process. The deviation calculation is based on a percentage form. For example, when the purity is lower than 98%, it is calculated according to the difference ratio; when the particle size distribution deviates from the target interval, it is calculated according to the distribution ratio outside the interval; when the residue content exceeds the standard, it is calculated according to the absolute value of the excess part, generating the first batch of quality deviation data to provide a basis for optimization.
[0055] S1051. Use the gradient descent method to determine the heating power adjustment direction for the first batch of quality deviation data and divide the adjustment area. At the same time, calculate the flow field adjustment amount based on the gas diffusion law, and gradually deduce the change trend of the control parameters.
[0056] Based on the first batch of quality deviation data, the adjustment direction of the heating power is calculated using the gradient descent method. The cracking furnace is longitudinally divided into 4 independent heating zones, and each zone is equipped with a separate heating element. The temperature field uniformity is evaluated by the standard deviation of the measured point temperatures. The area where the standard deviation exceeds 20 degrees Celsius is determined as the non-uniform area and needs to be adjusted for power preferentially. The adjustment ratio is positively correlated with the temperature gradient. For example, when the gradient increases by 100 degrees Celsius per meter, the power increases by 10%, generating the second batch of power adjustment data. Then, according to the change in the cracking gas components caused by the power adjustment, the concentration distribution in the furnace is calculated using the gas diffusion equation. The diffusion process comprehensively considers convection and molecular diffusion, and the diffusion coefficient is approximately 0.1 square centimeters per second at 800 degrees Celsius. The concentration uniformity is judged by the coefficient of variation. If the coefficient is greater than 0.2, it is considered that the distribution is uneven and the intake valve opening needs to be adjusted. The change in the opening is inversely proportional to the concentration gradient. For example, when the concentration gradient increases by 5%, the opening decreases by 2%, generating the third batch of flow field adjustment data. This process aims to quickly correct the quality deviation through the coordinated optimization of the temperature and the flow field.
[0057] S1052. Establish the state transition equation of the pyrolysis process using the third batch of flow field adjustment data and generate the control sequence. At the same time, predict the adjustment effect through random forest regression and construct the parameter database to provide support for closed-loop control.
[0058] Starting from the third batch of flow field adjustment data, construct the state transition equation of the pyrolysis process to describe the dynamic responses of the temperature field, pressure field, and gas components before and after parameter adjustment. The response time varies due to differences in physical processes. The pressure field adjustment has the fastest response, about 1 minute, the gas component adjustment takes 5 minutes, and the temperature field adjustment takes 10 minutes. Determine the timing of parameter adjustment based on the response speed. First, adjust the parameters with fast response such as the pressure field, and then adjust the temperature field to ensure a smooth transition of the process, generating the fourth batch of control sequence data. Then, construct the parameter optimization function based on the fourth batch of control sequence data and use random forest regression to predict the change in the quality index after adjustment. The model is trained with historical operation data. The input features include the current state variables and adjustment parameters, and the output is the adjusted index value. The accuracy is evaluated through 5-fold cross-validation. The purity prediction error is controlled within ±0.5%, the particle size distribution error is within ±2 microns, and the residue content error is within ±0.2%, generating the fifth batch of verification data. To efficiently manage the adjustment plan, establish a parameter database, which includes four data tables: the power adjustment amount, the change in valve opening, the execution order, and the expected deviation correction rate. The update period is 1 hour, and the last 100 adjustment records are retained to optimize the strategy.
[0059] Through deviation analysis and multi-level optimization, the control parameter adjustment set can quickly respond to quality deviations and improve the stability of toner quality. The combination of gradient descent method and random forest regression ensures the scientific nature of the adjustment direction and the predictability of the effect. The real-time update of the parameter database provides data support for the continuous improvement of the process, and the specific adjustment range can be flexibly set by technicians according to actual needs.
[0060] S106. Constrain and smooth the control parameter adjustment set to generate a closed-loop feedback instruction and update the control system, and at the same time optimize the operating state of the pyrolysis process to ensure that the pyrolysis effect after adjustment is stable and controllable.
[0061] Extract the heating power adjustment amount and the valve opening change amount based on the control parameter adjustment set. To avoid sudden changes in equipment operation, limit the power adjustment range within 10% of the rated power, and limit the valve opening change range within 5% of the current opening. Use cubic spline interpolation to smooth the adjustment curve, set the control point interval to 10 seconds, ensure smooth transition of parameter changes, avoid drastic fluctuations in temperature or flow rate, and generate the first set of smoothed parameters. This process aims to balance the adjustment speed and system stability and provide a reliable basis for safety constraints.
[0062] For the first set of smoothed parameters, determine the safe operating range in combination with the physical characteristics of the pyrolysis furnace heater and the valve. Taking a heater with a rated power of 100 kW as an example, the minimum starting power is set at 20 kW, the maximum power is limited to 95 kW, the minimum valve opening is 10% to maintain basic gas flow, and the maximum is 90% to reserve adjustment margin. The parameter change slope is controlled within 2% per second to match the equipment response time. Calculate the safe range of parameter adjustment through upper and lower limit constraints to generate the second set of constraint parameters, ensuring that the adjustment will not exceed the equipment's tolerance or cause operation risks.
[0063] S1061. Build a closed-loop controller based on the second set of constraint parameters and calculate the control output. At the same time, use feedback sensors to collect data and perform noise reduction processing to generate state data reflecting the adjustment effect to optimize the operating state.
[0064] A closed-loop controller is designed using a second set of constraint parameters. The proportional-integral control strategy is adopted, with the proportional coefficient set to 0.8 and the integral time constant set to 60 seconds to achieve a balance between fast response and error elimination. The controller calculates the control deviation by sampling data from sensors. The sampling period is set to 1 second, and the deviation is calculated based on the difference between the measured value and the set value of the temperature field. The output signal range is from 0 to 100%, corresponding to the actual adjustment range of the heater and the valve. To compensate for the sensor response delay, feedforward control is introduced, and the delay time is set to 5 seconds according to the device characteristics. The calculated control output generates a third set of control quantities. Subsequently, the third set of control quantities is formatted into control instructions. The instruction frame contains a power control field and a valve control field. The power resolution is 0.1 kW, and the valve opening resolution is 0.1%. It is encoded through a standard communication protocol with a baud rate of 9600, and 16-bit cyclic redundancy check is used to ensure the transmission reliability, generating a fourth set of instruction data. After the instructions are executed, the temperature field, pressure field, and gas component data are collected in real-time using a distributed sensor network. The accuracy of the temperature sensor is 0.1 °C, the accuracy of the pressure sensor is 0.1 kPa, and the sampling period of the gas chromatograph is 10 seconds. The collected data is denoised by a Kalman filter. The state noise covariance is set to 1% of the measured value, and the observation noise covariance is 0.1%, effectively reducing the noise interference and generating a fifth set of state data.
[0065] The validity of the fifth set of state data is verified, and the temperature field uniformity and pressure field stability indicators are calculated. The temperature field uniformity requires that the temperature difference between adjacent measurement points is less than 20 °C, and the pressure field stability requires that the fluctuation amplitude is less than 5 kPa. If an abnormality occurs, such as an excessive temperature difference or excessive pressure fluctuation, an alarm is triggered and the state information at the abnormal moment is recorded. The qualified verified data is updated to the pyrolysis operation status database with an update period of 1 minute, retaining the records of the most recent 24 hours, supporting fast retrieval by timestamp or parameter type, providing data support for subsequent process optimization.
[0066] The constraint and smoothing processing of the control parameters ensure the safety and stability of the adjustment process. The closed-loop feedback mechanism optimizes the operation status through real-time data, improving the control accuracy and response ability of the pyrolysis furnace. The application of the Kalman filter further improves the reliability of the state data, laying a foundation for achieving high-quality pyrolysis products. The specific parameter settings can be adjusted and optimized by technicians according to the actual situation of the device.

Update the digital twin model through multi-dimensional analysis and optimization algorithms to generate an optimized pyrolysis control scheme to improve the process effect.
[0068] Obtain the mass change information of the carbon fiber bundle from the adjusted pyrolysis operating state data, use an electronic balance to record the mass loss value per unit time in real time, and calculate the relationship between temperature and degradation rate in combination with the Arrhenius reaction kinetic equation. The measurement by the electronic balance shows that the peak degradation rate is 0.5 grams per minute at 800 degrees Celsius, and then gradually slows down with the increase in temperature. The Arrhenius equation determines the activation energy to be 150 kJ / mol and the frequency factor to be 10 to the power of 12 per second through fitting. Extract the degradation rate of the carbon fiber bundle from the mass loss curve to generate the first set of reaction data. This process not only quantifies the pyrolysis progress but also lays a foundation for subsequent matrix decomposition analysis.
[0069] S1071. Analyze the cracked gas components of the first set of reaction data and calculate the matrix decomposition ratio. At the same time, evaluate the product quality through the microscopic characteristics of the carbon powder to generate multi-dimensional quality data to verify the pyrolysis effect.
[0070] Use a gas chromatograph to detect the cracked gas components in the first set of reaction data and find that methane accounts for about 30%, ethane accounts for 15%, and benzene compounds account for 10%. The gas components show regularity with temperature changes, with small molecule hydrocarbons mainly in the low-temperature stage and benzene ring compounds increasing in the high-temperature stage. Measure the carbon atom content in the gaseous products using a mass analyzer, with a mass fraction of 75%. Calculate the matrix decomposition ratio through the carbon atom balance relationship, and the decomposition degree can reach 95% in the later stage of pyrolysis to generate the second set of conversion data. Based on the second set of conversion data, use an X-ray diffractometer to determine the crystallinity of the carbon powder. The characteristic peak appears at 2θ angle of 26 degrees, and the full width at half maximum is about 0.8 degrees. The calculated crystallinity is 85%. Observe the morphology of the carbon powder through a scanning electron microscope. The particles are in the shape of short fibers, with a length distribution of 10 to 50 microns and a diameter of 5 to 10 microns. The purity test shows that the carbon content reaches 98.5%, and the main impurities are hydrogen and oxygen to generate the third set of quality data. These data comprehensively reflect the physical and chemical properties of the cracked products and provide a basis for quality optimization.
[0071] Compare the third set of quality data with the target indicators and establish a deviation function, including purity, particle size, and residual matrix, with a weight ratio set to 6:3:1. Use the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm to calculate the deviation correction direction, set the population size to 50, the number of iterations to 200, and the inertia weight to decrease from 0.9 to 0.4. The optimization results show that when the heating power distribution is parabolic and the power density in the central region is 30% higher than that at the edge, the quality indicators are closest to the target values. Then, based on the optimization direction, use the genetic algorithm to search for the best heating power distribution scheme. The chromosome uses real number coding, with a length twice the number of heating zones, a crossover probability of 0.8, a mutation probability of 0.1, and a population size of 100. After 500 generations of evolution, the power setting values of each heating zone fluctuate between 40 and 90 kW, and the intake valve opening is adjusted between 30% and 70% to generate the fourth set of control data.
[0072] S1072. Construct a closed-loop control scheme based on the fourth set of control data and update the database to improve the stability of the cracking process and the consistency of product quality through the optimized parameters.
[0073] Design a closed-loop control scheme according to the fourth set of control data. The control period is set to 10 seconds, and the adjustment of heating power and valve opening is completed within each period. The control instructions follow the standard industrial communication protocol, and the data frame contains a 16-bit power control word and an 8-bit valve control word to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of instruction transmission. The optimized control parameter sequence is stored in the cracking process control database, which adopts a time series structure to support retrieval by timestamp and parameter type. The data compression ratio reaches 10:1, improving the storage efficiency and access speed. Through repeated verification and adjustment, ensure that the quality of the cracking products is stably achieved the target indicators, while enhancing the adaptability and controllability of the process.
[0074] The combination of multi-dimensional quality assessment and optimization algorithms enables the digital twin model to continuously improve according to real-time data. The generated control scheme effectively improves the carbon powder purity and the uniformity of particle size distribution. The optimized heating power distribution and valve opening sequence further reduce the residual matrix content, providing technical support for the efficient recycling of carbon fiber composites. The specific optimization parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working conditions to meet different requirements.
